Chapter 221: Dying Struggle (Second Watch)
"Miss! Miss!" the maid rushed into the courtyard from the outside like the wind, all the way from the courtyard gate to the house, "Miss! Yan Shizi is out!
The maid shouted all the way with excitement, which also made Zhu Yan, who was sitting in the room, jump up suddenly!
She walked a few steps to the door of the warm pavilion, and almost collided with the maid who rushed in, "The prince is going to enter the palace?"
The maid gasped and stopped, holding the carved moon door on the side with one hand and gasping twice before he could speak, "Yes, yes, the direction of the carriage is to the palace, and the slave sent someone to ask the guards and guards of our Shu Kingdom at the door for a long time before asking some eyebrows, it should be that the King of Shu invited His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Princess to enter the palace today, saying that the thirteenth prince is at the beginning of the year, please go to the palace to have a family banquet together, His Royal Highness the prince is probably going to the princess's mansion to pick up the princess, Miss, you have time to ......"
Zhu Yan's eyes flashed brightly, and she turned around and walked towards the inner room, "Quick, change my clothes, go and prepare the carriage and horses." ”
An order was given, the maid turned around and went out to give an order to prepare the carriage and horses and then went in to help Zhu Yan change her clothes, Zhu Yan was excited and excited at this moment, that appearance made the maid who had been waiting for many years a little surprised, Zhu Yan had clearly only admired Yan Shizi before, how could she be so excited now because she could see Shizi? !
The maid covered the doubts in her heart, and quickly helped Zhu Yan change into the clothes she wore when she entered the palace, and after changing her clothes, she combed her hair and re-took care of her makeup.
"Miss, slow down, we're not in a hurry. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess will definitely go to the banquet first when they enter the palace, let's ......"
The maid said while helping the well-dressed Zhu Yan to walk all the way, and weighed it a little before saying euphemistically, "We can't bump into Her Royal Highness Princess Shaoguang when we enter the palace, we have to find a suitable opportunity." ”
Zhu Yan's identity must also be known to Her Royal Highness Princess Shaking Light, if Princess Shaking Light sees through Zhu Yan's mind and takes precautions early, what should I do? The maid thought of this layer and couldn't help but remind Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan was walking quickly, but when she heard the words, she slowed down, "Yes, I have to find a chance." ”
As she spoke, she exhaled a long breath, as if she was suppressing the tension and excitement in her heart, "We, let's go to the eleventh princess first, sit with her, she is well-informed in the palace, and she must be able to help us ......"
Zhu Yan was nervous, but her eyes were shining, it didn't look like she was going to see someone she liked, but it was like going to battle, the maid on the side looked at her heart trembling slightly, she always felt that today's Zhu Yan was a little unusual, but she could only nod when she heard Zhu Yan's words, "Yes, yes, Miss is thoughtful, the eleventh princess will definitely help us......"
The maid said, the corner of his eye suddenly saw a small maid in his own house flashing by, the road between the two of them is almost Zhu Yan's yard leading directly to the courtyard gate, usually only the maid and maid go back and forth, how to see a small maid? This maid was puzzled, and after thinking about it, she remembered that this little maid seemed to have seen it beside Zhu Qin, and she wanted to remind Zhu Yan, but Zhu Yan somehow changed her mind, grabbed her wrist and said, "Quick, let's go into the palace quickly, let's have this chance." ”
The maid sighed helplessly in her heart, why is this time the opportunity? In the future, as long as Yan Shizi does not leave, it will be an opportunity! Even if you arrive in Yan Kingdom, it will be an opportunity every day! Thinking of this, the maid still said, "Miss, don't worry, the second prince said that Mrs. Sun has begun to list the names of the maids, you are the first one, and the decree will be issued in two days, and when the time comes, everything will be easy to say, that is, when you arrive in Yan Kingdom, isn't it an opportunity for you?"
After she said this, Zhu Yan slammed her feet, and turned her head to look at the maid.
Zhu Yan has always been gentle and gentle outside, and she has always boasted that she is not easy to anger with her subordinates, but her eyes at this moment made this maid shiver, and it felt like a sharp long knife scraping from her back, but at this moment, Zhu Yan turned her head very quickly and walked out quickly.
The maid was stunned, looked around, and thought that she was too loud just now, for fear that the rest of the house would hear it and hurt Zhu Yan's face, she pursed her lips and didn't dare to say anything more.
The carriage was ready, and it stopped at the side gate of Zhu's mansion, Zhu Yan took the maids and maids around her out to get into the car, and drove out of the carriage as soon as she gave the order.
"Hurry up, hurry up and ......"
The coachman of Zhu's house was already very steady and not slow, but Zhu Yan was still full, and kept urging, the coachman only needed to whip one whip after another, just the crisp sound of the whip falling on the horse's back was shocking, coupled with the bumps caused by the speed too fast, the master and servant sitting in the carriage were really uncomfortable, the maid held Zhu Yan with one hand, and the edge of the couch with the other hand to stabilize, she only felt that her fingernails were going to be broken, and then looked at Zhu Yan puzzled.
She faintly felt that her own young lady entered the palace to see the prince of the world, but she was afraid that it was not as simple as meeting the prince by chance and then making a familiar face in front of the prince, so she first sent someone to squat for a few days in a row, and if she couldn't keep it, she had been sitting in the house, that is, the sound of practicing the piano was full of anxiety, and now when she heard the news, she was suddenly excited like this, which was really not like her original miss.
"Miss, do you want to slow down, won't you feel bad?"
"It's okay, it's not uncomfortable, I want to enter the palace as quickly as possible. ”
Zhu Yan shook her head, her face was full of determination, and even if there was a trace of struggle and hesitation in her eyes, she was overshadowed by more stubbornness.
Hearing this, as a close confidant and maid who has been waiting for Zhu Yan for a long time, she really can't believe it, Zhu Yan has been pampered since she was a child, don't say that the carriage is so bumpy, even if the cushion in the car is a little wrinkled, she is uncomfortable, this ......
What is the purpose of my own lady entering the palace in such a hurry?
The maid was full of doubts, becoming more and more uneasy, and the corners of her forehead soon became sweaty, and on the one hand, she was worried and scared, and on the other hand, she used all her strength to protect Zhu Yan's tiredness, and it was in this galloping gallop that the carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the palace.
Get off the carriage and show the waist card, Zhu Yan entered the palace gate very quickly with the identity of the second miss of the Zhu family, entered the palace gate, and didn't care about anything, thinking about getting to Feng Nianrong's Jiaofang Hall as soon as possible, and said again and again, "I didn't see the carriage of His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess at the gate of the palace just now, have they not entered the palace yet?"
The maid nodded hurriedly, "It shouldn't be as fast as us, don't worry, Miss." ”
Zhu Yan exhaled a long breath again, finally slowed down a little, and after taking a few steps, Zhu Yan explained again, "When we see the princess later, don't say that we are here to see the prince, just say that we are here to greet the queen and the ladies, just go to see her first." ”
The maid nodded hurriedly, if the young lady really wanted to attract the attention of the prince, it was really difficult to tell people.
Thinking like this, the two of them soon arrived in front of the Yimen, and when they arrived in front of the Yimen, they were about to be stopped by the deacon and eunuch, and after asking the reason, the deacon and eunuch led her and the two of them towards the Lanting Palace.
"The second son has just entered the palace, why didn't the young lady enter the palace with the second son?"
Zhu Yan's heart jumped suddenly, her brother is also in the palace?
Gritting her teeth, Zhu Yan pulled out a smile, "My brother is here to work on an errand, and I am here to ask for peace, so naturally I can't go all the way." ”
The deacon and eunuch nodded and smiled, "What Miss said is that this is exactly what Li'er." After speaking, I didn't know what to think, and the two eyes rolled very shrewdly, "Speaking of which, the slave still wants to congratulate Miss." ”
Congratulations to her? Zhu Yan's heart jumped again, "Congratulations on what I'm doing?"
The deacon and eunuch covered his mouth and smiled, "Miss doesn't want to say it...... Okay, the slave won't say anything, he always has to congratulate the young lady, and also congratulate the second son, in the future, the king must pay more attention to the second son and the Zhu family. ”
This deacon and eunuch also has a bit of face in the inner mansion, and he is very calm when he speaks at this point, but Zhu Yan heard this and understood with a burst of shock, this is exactly saying that she is going to Yan Kingdom to be a maid!
Pursing her lips, Zhu Yan's voice was dry, "This...... It's all a no-brainer. ”
The deacon and eunuch smiled again, looking at Zhu Yan's eyes with a little understanding, "Miss's meaning is understandable, Miss is an unassuming person, if it weren't for the slave Shicai who met the second son, he heard him and his entourage say that he was going to Chongzheng Hall to ask for grace at this time, but you wouldn't dare to talk to you like this, you just wait, I'm afraid that you will have a letter this afternoon." As he spoke, he clapped his hands as if he remembered something, "By the way, His Royal Highness Yan Shizi is also going to enter the palace today, hey...... Why didn't the young lady leave......"
Zhu Yan really didn't leave, she stood with a pale face, a little unable to move.
"My brother...... How long has it been since my brother went to the Chongzheng Palace?"
She asked in a sluggish voice, and the deacon and eunuch didn't know why, but still recalled, "Just half an hour ago." ”
Zhu Yan's eyebrows jumped suddenly, half an hour ago? That may have been ...... now
She felt a pain in her heart, and took a step back, but this move frightened the maid and the deacon and eunuch beside her, and the maid held Zhu Yan, but her wrist was held by her and hurt fiercely, only to see Zhu Yan suddenly gasp for breath twice, and suddenly turned around and walked towards the road, "No, I can't wait, I want to go directly to the palace gate and wait for the prince!"
As she spoke, Zhu Yan grabbed the hand of the maid beside her and strode back!
The maid had already been stunned, her mind was muddy, but she knew that her young lady must not simply want to see the prince to attract his attention, and the deacon and eunuch behind were even more surprised, and glanced back at the Jiaofang Hall in front of her and shook her head, "Why did you go back when you got to the front?"
was muttering to himself and planning to go back, but there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and the deacon eunuch looked back, but it was Feng Nianrong who came out with his maidservant, and the deacon and eunuch grinned, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace respectfully.
