Chapter 41: The East Palace

"Huh?" Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Her hesitation was sensitively noticed by Zhu Youqi, and Zhu Youqi's face suddenly wrinkled sadly.

"Don't you want to?" Zhu Youqi lowered his head and let go of Zhang Yan's hand, "I thought you would agree......"

The sad mood spread on the child's immature face, Zhang Yan looked at Zhu Youji's sad appearance, and her heart softened slightly.

"Do you really want to see Brother Prince?" Zhang Yan lowered her head and met Zhu Youqi's line of sight.

"Hmm!" Zhu Youqi nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, then I'll go with you." Zhang Yan stood up with a smile and reached out to hold Zhu Youqi's hand.

Yes, she accompanied Zhu Youqi to see his prince brother, not because she wanted to go herself.

Yes, that's it.

Zhang Yan told herself silently.

Zhang Yan's tangled thoughts, Zhu Youqi didn't know, he only knew that Zhang Yan agreed to accompany him to the East Palace, and his immature face was suddenly full of happy colors.

"Brother Prince, we're here." As soon as he entered the East Palace, Zhu Youji began to greet Zhu Youji impatiently.

"His Royal Highness." The palace maid in charge of the East Palace greeted her and saluted Zhu Youqi with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is discussing with the courtiers now, please go to the side hall and wait for a while." ”

"Okay!" Zhu Youqi nodded very cheerfully, "Brother Prince is busy, I won't bother for now." ”

"Tell the prince's brother that I have brought his future concubine over as well." Zhu Youqi's voice was very excited, and there was also a bit of teasing in his voice, "I can wait for him, but the crown princess can't wait for him." ”

"......" Zhang Yan's face suddenly turned red, and she glared at Zhu Youqi angrily.

Facing Zhang Yan's annoyed gaze, Zhu Youqi didn't have any fear on his face, on the contrary, he also made a naughty grimace at Zhang Yan, with a smug look on his face.

Zhang Yan is completely out of tricks, she can't deal with a child like this.

After serving refreshments to the two of them with a smile, the palace maid silently walked up to Zhang Yan, knelt down in front of Zhang Yan, and silently bowed.

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, all the etiquette of the palace maid in charge had been completed, and she hadn't reacted yet.

"Xiaochan, are you going to make such a big gift now?" Zhu Youqi looked at the palace maid curiously, "She's not the crown princess now, is she?" ”

"Xiaochan made this big gift, not because of the crown princess." Xiao Chan stood up and looked at Zhang Yan with a smile, "It's to thank you for saving your life." ”

"A life-saving grace?" Zhang Yan and Zhu Youqi spoke in unison.

In the tones of the two people, they are all the same, full of questions.

"Yes, more than ten years ago, Miss Zhang was a lifesaver for me." Xiaochan looked at Zhang Yan with a smile, and the gratitude in her eyes was undisguised, "If there is no Miss Zhang, I'm afraid that Xiaochan will be a dry bone now." ”

A life-saving grace more than a decade ago? Zhang Yan was even more puzzled.

Where did she come from more than a decade ago in this era? Even at that time, she was only with the two-year-old Tangtang and had been nesting in the Anle Hall.

Wait a minute...... Sugar candy ...... at the age of two

Don't?

Zhang Yan raised her head and looked at Xiaochan in surprise, Xiaochan smiled warmly at her.

Is she the palace maid who rescued herself and Tangtang from under Concubine Wan's stick in the imperial garden back then?

Zhang Yan looked at Xiaochan seriously, she was full of fear at that time, what the palace maid she rescued looked like, she didn't remember, the only impression she could have was that it was a young and immature face.

And now, the face of the palace maid in charge of the East Palace, where is the young and immature appearance at the beginning, Xiaochan standing in front of her, looks mature and old, and her face is also weathered.

Where is the shadow in the original impression.

Zhang Yan couldn't help but be silent, she once again felt the difference between modern and ancient, this worlds of time.

In the conference hall of the East Palace, after the ministers dispersed, Zhu Youzhu sat on the chair and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince is here." Xiaochan walked to Zhu Youji's side, gently put down the tea cup in her hand, and said softly.

"You're here again?" Zhu Youzhu put down the hand that was rubbing his eyebrows, and smiled a little helplessly, "He is really sticking to me, what is the excuse this time?" Didn't finish the piano you wanted to learn last time? ”

Although the words and smile are very helpless, no matter how helpless they are, they can't hide the doting that Zhu Youzhu can't hide when he mentions this younger brother.

"I don't know why His Royal Highness the Prince came here." Xiaochan covered her mouth and smiled, "However, His Royal Highness the Prince, the fourth prince has brought over a person you really want to see." ”

"Someone I'd love to meet?" Zhu Youzhu was puzzled for less than a second, and then immediately reacted, "Could it be ......?"

"Yes, the 'fairy' is here." Xiaochan smiled and nodded.

The crown princess of the Zhang Mansion is a matter of Zhang Yan and not the genuine Miss Zhang, and in the East Palace, Zhu Youji's cronies all know about it.

From childhood to adulthood, Zhu Youzhi has been in the midst of thorns, if it weren't for these cronies who grew up with him since childhood, Zhu Youzhu wouldn't know how to survive so big.

To him, these cronies are not relatives, but even relatives.

In the East Palace, his cronies are Qin Ji and Xiaochan.

"Is she really here?" Although he knew that Xiaochan would not joke about this matter, at that moment, Zhu Youzhu was still in a bit of a trance.

Since Zhang Yan lived in Anxi Palace, Zhu Youji has never seen Zhang Yan again.

Now that she suddenly appeared in the East Palace, Zhu Youzhu closed her eyes and tried to calm her heartbeat.

If he doesn't calm down, I'm afraid his heart will jump out.

Xiaochan has been the palace maid in charge of the East Palace for many years, so she naturally has Zhu Youji's thoughts, but she just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Xiaochan, you go and entertain them well." Zhu Youzhu stood up, "I'll come over in a while." ”

"I just finished talking to the minister, I'm afraid, it won't look particularly good." Zhu Youzhu clenched his fists, "It's rare to see Ayan once......"

It's rare to see him once, but it can't, so that Zhang Yan can see his embarrassed image.

"Is it okay for the slave to take them to the Flowing Water Pavilion?" Xiaochan smiled, "The prince also said just now, the fourth prince is probably here to learn the piano, the scenery there is good, and it is very suitable for playing the piano." ”

"Good!" Zhu Youzhu nodded.

Turning his head to look outside the hall, the look in Zhu Youji's eyes also became warm.

Ayan, I'm going to see you again.

"Flowing Water Pavilion? Quyu flowing water, what a chic name! ”

Zhang Yan looked up at the antique small pavilion in front of her, directly above the pavilion, the simple and timeless seal script, with the name of the pavilion written.

The Flowing Water Pavilion is built on a small pond behind the East Palace, surrounded by water, which is exactly in line with the meaning of flowing water. In the middle of the pavilion, there are several cases, and on several cases, a pile of sandalwood is burning, and the fragrance lingers in the pavilion.

Next to the incense burner, there is a guqin.

Sandalwood! Water! Guqin!
