Zhu Nian gradually moved away from the Nagato Palace, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, she was also very nervous in her heart, but she knew that if she obeyed the meaning of the precious concubine this time, she would not have a good life in the future.

With the memory of the last time he entered the palace, Zhu Nian gradually walked in the direction of the palace gate.

On the bank of a willow river, Zhu Nian walked forward quietly, and happened to meet Tuoba Ling'er and Yingxue, who were carrying a long skirt, kicking shuttlecocks under the willow tree.

Behind her stood two little palace maids that Zhu Nian had never seen.

"Oops!" exclaimed Tuoba Ling'er.

Yingxue just kicked the shuttlecock to Ling'er's side, but although she kicked it, she accidentally kicked the shuttlecock off the rails.

Tuoba Ling'er turned her head sharply to look for the shuttlecock, and saw Zhu Nian walking towards her.

"Thoughts!" Tuoba Ling'er said in surprise.

"Seven Princesses. Zhu Nian walked over with a smile.

Tuoba Ling'er put down her skirt, trotted to Zhu Nian's side, and then pulled up Zhu Nian's soft twing.

"Xinnian, you can count it as coming, you want to kill me!" Tuoba Ling'er said happily to Zhu Nian.

"Hehe, so do I. Zhu Nian replied sincerely, she liked this seventh princess without a shelf.

"I wanted to go to Tianxiang Pavilion to find you some time ago, but my father just wouldn't let me go!" Tuoba Ling'er said with a pout.

Zhu Nian smiled and said nothing, she understood Tuoba Lei's thoughts.

Some time ago, when she was fighting with the Tao family, Tianxiang Pavilion was still a little chaotic, and of course the father didn't want his daughter to get involved in trouble.

"Some time ago, I had something to do, that's why the emperor said this. Zhu Nian said.

"Well, I said why was my father so strange this time. Tuoba Ling'er nodded.

"After a while, I will hold a cooking competition in Tianxiang Pavilion, if you are idle and bored, you can come to Tianxiang Pavilion to find me. Zhu Nian said.

"Really?" Tuoba Ling'er's eyes lit up, "That must be interesting!

"Well, then I'll wait for you!" Zhu Nian nodded.

"By the way, Xinnian, why did you come here alone, it doesn't seem to be on the same road as my father's Heart Cultivation Palace?" Tuoba Ling'er asked.

"Oh, just now I was taking a break in the back garden, and I was invited to Nagato Palace by a girl named Pothos. Zhu Nian replied.

"Did the precious concubine invite you to go?" Tuoba Ling'er said in surprise.

"Exactly. ”

"She can't get along with you for eight lifetimes, what are you asking you to do?" Tuoba Ling'er asked suspiciously.

"She said that I would teach her how to cook, and she would cook it for the emperor in the future. Zhu Nian said.

"Just her, her ten fingers don't touch the spring water, and she still wants to cook for my father?" Tuoba Ling'er seemed to hate the precious concubine, and rolled her eyes in disgust at this time.

"Huh. Looking at Tuoba Ling'er's appearance, Zhu Nian couldn't help but laugh.

"Then you're going to promise her?" asked Tuoba Ling'er.

Zhu Nian shook his head and said, "No, I see that she is a noble concubine, and I really don't dare to teach her." Besides—I'm a little tired of her domineering looks. ”

Zhu Nian said what she wanted, she didn't know why, she just believed that Tuoba Ling'er would not betray her.

"Hey, I've never been used to her style, but whoever makes the family a concubine, I can only take less contact with her. Tuoba Ling'er sarcastically said with disdain.

After some conversation, Zhu Nian learned that the precious concubine was already in her thirties.

She has been with Tuoba Lei the longest.

When Tuoba Lei was still a prince, the precious concubine married him, and she was only fourteen years old.

Tuoba Lei's smooth ascension to the status is inseparable from the support of the precious concubine family.

Later, the precious concubine gave birth to a son to the emperor, which is now the third prince Tuoba Jin, and his position in the harem is even more indestructible.

"It's a good thing you didn't promise her, otherwise you will suffer in the future. Tuoba Ling'er and Zhu Nian said, "If the precious concubine dares to embarrass you in the future, you will come to me." ”

Tuoba Ling'er patted his chest with his little hand and said decently: "I have you to support you!"

"Okay, you must not run then!" Zhu Nian said with a smile.

"Whoever runs is a puppy!" Tuoba Ling'er said with a red face.

"Xinnian, I'm playing shuttlecock with Yingxue, do you want to join us?" Tuoba Ling'er suddenly changed the subject.

"Huh?" Zhu Nian didn't keep up with Tuoba Ling'er's brain circuit for a while.

She looked at Ying Xue and the other two palace maids who were standing in front of her, and shook her head with a smile, "I really want to play with you, but I still have some things to do now, so let's do it next time!"

"Oh well. Tuoba Ling'er nodded a little disappointed.

"Then I'll go first, princess. Zhu Nian said goodbye to Tuoba Ling'er.

"Hmm. Tuoba Ling'er smiled and waved her hand at Zhu Nian.

So Zhu Nian set off and walked all the way along the river bank to the palace gate.

Tuoba Ling'er looked at Zhu Nian's back for a while, and then went to kick the shuttlecock with Yingxue again.

Zhu Nian walked out of the palace gate, the carriage had been waiting outside for a long time, she got into the car and returned to Zhufu.

As soon as he entered the bamboo garden, Zhu Nian went straight to his house.

After tossing for a long time today, she was tired and exhausted.

"Miss. Cai Ning was changing Zhu Nian's bed sheets in the back room, and when he heard the movement, he came out to meet Zhu Nian.

"Cai Ning, go and fetch me a bucket of hot water, I want to wash my body. Zhu Nian commanded.

The weather was hot, and after several twists and turns, Zhu Nian's body was already soaked with sweat, sticky, and very uncomfortable.

"Good. Cai Ning nodded, and ran out of the house quickly.

It took a week for Zhu Nian to finally arrange the preparations for the cooking competition, and she stood in the Tianxiang Pavilion and checked all the competition processes with Uncle Meng to make sure that nothing went wrong.

"Uncle Meng, you go to find fifteen guards with relatively high martial arts skills this afternoon to protect the safety of our Tianxiang Pavilion. ”

"Good. Uncle Meng nodded.

"By the way, Uncle Meng, I have one more thing I want to discuss with you. Zhu Nian said.

"What's the matter, miss?" you say. ”

"I-I've been thinking about it for the past few days, can I change the name of Tianxiang Pavilion. ”

"Change your name?" Uncle Meng was very surprised.

"Yes. Zhu Nian nodded.

"This ......," Uncle Meng looked a little embarrassed.

Zhu Nian said: "Uncle Meng, I know that Tianxiang Pavilion was created by my father step by step, and the name was also obtained by him himself. However, after such a fuss from the Dow family some time ago, although I tried my best to save my reputation, Tianxiang Pavilion will definitely still suffer some damage. ”

"Hmm. Uncle Meng nodded approvingly.

"So I want to change the name, a new name, a new atmosphere. ”

"This ......" Uncle Meng was a little loose, obviously moved by Zhu Nian's words.

"Uncle Meng, you don't have to reply to me now, changing the name is a big deal after all, I want to come gradually, don't let the people feel too abrupt, just wait until the competition is over. Zhu Nian said.

"Then Miss, do you have a name ready now?" asked Uncle Meng.

"How about 'Chai Nian Lou'?" Zhu Nian asked, "There are some similarities with my name, and there is some positive attitude in it." ”

"Not bad. Uncle Meng nodded, "Then Miss, you can let me think about it." ”

"Good. ”
