When he walked out of the Frost Palace, Jian Xiaozhu saw the blue sky and white clouds above his head, and felt that the sun was shining and the air was fresh, which made people feel refreshed.

In the sunlight, the glazed tile roof of the palace building shines brightly. In late autumn, the leaves of the roadside trees are dyed a golden yellow. The autumn wind rises, and the leaves fall all over the stone road under your feet. Jian Xiaozhu stepped on the leaves, and his steps became brisk.

She was about to leave this palace soon, but she didn't expect Bai Ningshuang to allow her to go home so easily, which made Jian Xiaozhu pinch her face to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

"You look like you're having fun."

Behind him, Zhu Yan's voice made Jian Xiaozhu's body stunned. Then she turned around and smiled at Zhu Yan awkwardly: "When I go home to see my parents, how can I be unhappy." ”

But hearing Jian Xiaozhu's words, Zhu Yan stepped into the carriage with a stunned expression. Jian Xiaozhu looked at his back, sighed, and got into the carriage.

Originally, Jian Xiaozhu wanted to ask someone to send a message to the family, and asked Zhang Tiande to send someone to pick him up outside the palace gate. But when Zhu Yan learned that Jian Xiaozhu was going home in the Frost Palace, he said that he could give her a ride along the way. Bai Ningshuang instructed Jian Xiaozhu before leaving: "Remember to arrange for your cousin and Ayan to meet." ”

So Jian Xiaozhu only felt another layer of pressure, but these burdens could not dilute the joy of going home. Although Zhang's Mansion is not strictly her home, as long as she can leave the palace, Jian Xiaozhu will feel infinitely sunny.

On the way, Jian Xiaozhu ignored the low pressure in the carriage and leaned at the window to look at the scenery outside. After the carriage drove out of the palace gate, the sky became brighter. The road outside the palace gate is wide and stretches to the front with no end in sight. The brilliant sunlight spreads on the bluestone road, and the maple leaves on both sides of the road form a dazzling golden yellow.

Jian Xiaozhu looked at the beautiful scenery outside the palace and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Stop and sit in love with the maple forest at night, and the frost leaves are red in February." ”

only heard a slight cough from the side, Jian Xiaozhu turned around, and saw Zhu Yan's eyes with a little surprise: "It's a good poem, I didn't expect you to write such a poem at a young age." ”

Jian Xiaozhu thought embarrassedly in her heart: "This poem is not something I can write, and I guess I won't be able to write it in the next life." ”

It was at this time that Jian Xiaozhu only heard someone call "Yunzhu". When she raised her eyes, she saw that outside the carriage, a tall man was riding a horse, looking at her with dark eyes, and asked with a light smile: "Yunzhu, where are you going?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu didn't expect to meet Murong Yi outside the palace, so she replied: "The noble concubine has allowed me to go home to visit my relatives!" ”

Murong Yi jumped off the horse when he heard Jian Xiaozhu's words, walked to the carriage and said, "You're going home, does your second brother know?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu shook his head: "I haven't informed him yet." But I wish Gongzi that he is willing to give me a ride. ”

"Zhu Gongzi?" Murong Yi glanced into the carriage and saw Zhu Yanzheng, who was sitting next to Jian Xiaozhu, looking at him and greeting, "I've seen King Ning." ”

"It turned out to be Zhu Gongzi!" Murong Yi looked back at Zhu Yan with a smile and said, "I haven't seen you since the moon viewing conference, how are you doing lately?" ”

Zhu Yan nodded: "I'm fine, thank you King Ning for your concern." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Murong Yi smiled at Zhu Yan and said, "I remember, Zhu Gongzi's mansion doesn't seem to be on the same path as Zhang's mansion. If Zhu Gongzi finds it inconvenient, I can ride a horse to take Miss Zhang for a ride. ”

But Zhu Yan smiled slightly: "There is no inconvenience on my side, so I won't bother you, King Lao Ning." ”

Murong Yi paused, then nodded and said with a smile: "There is Lao Zhu Gongzi." ”

Jian Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief, after all, compared to Murong Yi's mount, she still felt more comfortable riding in the carriage.

However, before leaving, Murong Yi still said to Jian Xiaozhu: "I will go to Zhang's Mansion to see you in the next few days." ”

With that, he rode away. Jian Xiaozhu noticed that the direction in which Murong Yi went was the direction where the palace was located.

The carriage continued to drive, and Jian Xiaozhu saw that Zhu Yan's face also turned cold in an instant, and the whole person looked gloomy, which was completely different from the well-behaved appearance that Fang Cai showed when he talked to Murong Yi.

"Are you familiar with King Ning?"

Jian Xiaozhu shook his head: "My second brother is more familiar with him. ”

"Your second brother is Captain Zhang."

Jian Xiaozhu was surprised: "Do you know my second brother? ”

Zhu Yan nodded: "Captain Zhang has made many military exploits at a young age, of course I have heard of his name. Moreover, he and King Ning always appear together on various occasions, and everyone knows that their relationship is close. ”

Jian Xiaozhu was frightened: "King Ning and my brother shouldn't be broken sleeves, right?" ”

The corners of Zhu Yan's mouth twitched slightly: "It should ...... No. ”

"By the way, when am I going to arrange for you to meet my cousin......"

However, before he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Yan's eyes become cold: "I don't see!" ”

Jian Xiaozhu: "But if you don't see me, I can't explain to the concubine!" ”

At this time, the carriage suddenly braked suddenly, which made Jian Xiaozhu unstable, and the whole person fell on Zhu Yan's body like an octopus.

When the carriage was stable and Jian Xiaozhu got up, she saw Zhu Yan's right hand covering half of her face, and she was baring her teeth and looking at her with murderous eyes. Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly lowered his head: "I'm sorry!" ”

Zhu Yan said coldly: "Is it useful to say I'm sorry?" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yan took his hand down. Jian Xiaozhu saw that Zhu Yan's delicate and flawless face had a little flaw at this moment. I saw a small opening in his jawbone, and blood was oozing out. Jian Xiaozhu reacted, it should have been accidentally scratched by the hairpin on her head.

Jian Xiaozhu thought to herself that this inferior hairpin would kill people. Quickly apologized in his mouth: "I'm really sorry!" When you get to my house later, I'll give you some medicine to make sure you don't have a scar. ”

But Zhu Yan didn't pay attention to her, but asked the groom who was driving: "What's going on outside?" ”

The groom replied, "A boy suddenly came rushing in, and I quickly stopped the carriage." ”

Zhu Yan asked, "Is that kid okay?" ”

Coachman: "It seems...... Something......"

At the same time, the cries of a teenager came from outside the carriage. Jian Xiaozhu opened the curtain and saw a strong man in coarse cloth clothes, pulling a thin young man who was dirty and about ten years old, and scolded loudly: "You thief, you dare to steal my buns, I will send you to the government." ”

The young man pushed the strong man's hand vigorously, trying to break free, but he couldn't shake the other party at all. I had no choice but to cry: "Uncle, I know it's wrong." I'll give you back the buns, please spare me. ”

"Spare you? Think beautifully! The strong man directly slapped the young man: "Spare you, my bun has also been soiled by you, a little bad seed." ”

The boy no longer struggled, but knelt down: "Uncle, I really know it's wrong......"
