"Your Highness, are these two good?"

After getting Yun Rongjue's consent, Jiang Wu chose the lotus lantern.

Yun Rongjue watched from the side and nodded, "You chose everything well." ”

Jiang Wu happily picked up the two lotus lanterns, took them aside, and then handed a roll of paper and a brush to Yun Rongjue, "Your Highness can write down your wishes and roll them up, and then stuff them into this lotus lantern." ”

Jiang Wu put the lotus lantern aside, and began to write on the big tree next to him.

Yun Rongjue lowered his eyes and looked at a piece of paper in his hand, and after a while, he was like a little girl, swaying down on the trunk of the tree.

Jiang Wu quickly wrote, she rolled up the note and stuffed it into the lotus lantern. At that time, Yun Rongjue had also stuffed the note in.

"Your Highness, let's go over there and put it away, there are fewer people."

The two walked to the stone steps under the bridge and rested the lotus lantern on the surface of the blue river.

Jiang Wu clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, "May Xiao Wu and His Highness's wishes come true." ”

Yun Rongjue looked at it, and the ink that was as dark as night shimmered.

After the two put the lotus lantern out, they walked around the market again before leaving to return to the palace.

After playing for so many hours, it suddenly became quiet, and Jiang Wu was a little sleepy as he sat in the carriage.

"I'm sleepy and sleepy, and I'll call you when I get to the main hall in a while." The man said.

Jiang Wu was really sleepy, as soon as Yun Rongjue said this, she didn't tense up anymore, her little head leaned to the side, and she quickly fell asleep.

The carriage bumped up and down to the palace, and when it arrived at the gate of Lingxiao Palace, Yun Rongjue woke up the little girl.

Jiang Wu followed Yun Rongjue back to Yilan Xuan.

As soon as the two of them walked to Yilan Xuan, they saw Zhuo Ke coming up.

Zhuo Keruo's gaze wandered over the two of them for a moment.

Yun Rongjue and Jiang Wu went out around the same time, and they didn't come back until now, what did the two of them do, Zhuo Ke speculated in his heart.

"Your Highness is back, Your Highness is tired, the slaves and maids are waiting for Your Highness to bathe." Zhuo Ke took the cloak that Yun Rongjue took off diligently.

"No, you can go out, just let her wait here." Yun Rongjue gave an order.

The smile on Zhuo Ke's face froze.

"Not yet?" Seeing that Zhuo Ke didn't leave for a long time, Yun Rongjue's voice was a little colder.

Zhuo Ke didn't dare to disobey Yun Rongjue's order, so he could only withdraw from the hall with his head bowed.

Jiang Wu brought hot water to Yun Rongjue and waited for him to finish bathing.

"Go to bed early today." Yun Rongjue said to her, walking straight to the desk.

"Late at night, is Your Highness still restless to sleep?" She saw that Yun Rongjue had no intention of sleeping.

"There are still some things to deal with in this hall, so you should sleep first and be obedient."

As the night deepened, Yun Rongjue put down the scroll and subconsciously looked inside. He stood up and walked inside.

On the soft couch near the outside, the little girl was curled up and asleep, looking well-behaved.

He couldn't help but get closer and look, as if she was well-behaved and likable at all times.

She is well-behaved and simple, which he has never seen in this palace.

Wrong.

There was a person who was there, but then he ......

When he thought of that person, Yun Rongjue's peaceful eyes swelled, and he closed his eyes and dissipated those memories in his mind.

……

Following.

Although Jiang Wu slept heavily last night, he didn't dare to delay getting up early.

She brought hot water for Yun Rongjue and waited for him to wash.

"Is Your Highness going out tomorrow?" She asked, straightening his shirt.

"Well, tomorrow."

Jiang Wu nodded, "The boot pads sewn by the slave for His Highness have been ready, and they have been placed in the luggage for His Highness." ”

Yun Rongjue glanced at the prepared burden and bowed his head lightly.

His gaze fell, resting on the shackles of her feet. For the first time, he felt the shackles were an eyesore.

"Get rid of the shackles, and you won't have to wear them anymore." Yun Rongjue handed her the key.

Jiang Wu was stunned for a while, and he couldn't slow down for a long time.

She heard her right, right?

What does he mean is that she won't have to wear these shackles anymore?

Seeing that she hadn't taken the key for a long time, "What, isn't it that my sister is wearing these shackles and showing her feelings, and she is reluctant to take them off?" ”

Jiang Wu hurriedly shook his head, "No...... No. ”

This shackle is a symbol, a symbol of slavery, and this shackle is so inconvenient on the foot, it is too late for her to be happy to take it off, how can she be reluctant.

It's just that......

"Your Highness, slave...... Is it really possible not to wear this in the future? She was afraid that she had heard something wrong.

"I don't want to repeat the words, if you don't want to, give the key to the main hall." He held out his hand to her.

Jiang Wu puffed out his lips and shook his head, "The slave is willing!" ”

After she finished speaking, she crouched down, leaned over, and used the key to untie the shackles on her feet.

Without this pair of shackles, Jiang Wu walked much easier, and there was no jingling sound.

"Jiang Wu."

Zhuo Ke saw Jiang Wu's joy, she approached, and suddenly found that the pair of shackles on Jiang Wu's feet were gone.

"Jiang Wu, where are your shackles?! Who allowed you to unshackle without permission?! Do you know that it is a great sin to unshackle a slave! Zhuo Ke opened his eyes and scolded angrily.

"I didn't ...... privately"

"Her shackles were untied by the main hall." Suddenly, there was a sound.

Zhuo Ke turned his head and saw Yun Rongjue, and his flamboyant momentum was extinguished instantly, "Her shackles were untied by the main hall, what's the matter, don't you have an opinion on the decision of the main hall?" ”

Where does Zhuo Ke dare. She hurriedly shook her head, "The slave doesn't dare, it's just ......"

"Your Highness, Jiang Wu is a prisoner, isn't it inappropriate to untie the shackles." Zhuo Ke said.

"But tell the temple, what's wrong? She is a prisoner serving by the side of the main hall, everything is in charge of the main hall, and the main hall is qualified to unshackle her. ”

Zhuo Ke swallowed his saliva when he heard this, and didn't dare to say more.

In Daliang, the slave is to wear shackles, but if the master allows it, the shackles can also be untied.

Yun Rongjue gave Zhuo Ke a displeased glance and turned to leave.

Zhuo Ke watched Yun Rongjue walk away and slowly withdrew his eyes, glared at Jiang Wu, Jiang Wu looked at her like this, and lowered his eyes helplessly.

"Xiao Wu, I know that His Highness has been very good to you, and now that His Highness has given you such a great gift, you have to keep it in your heart, and don't get carried away because of His Highness's tolerance." Zhuo Ke said.

After Zhuo Ke became an official woman, her momentum rose, no matter when, she always wanted to admonish others, Jiang Wu didn't want to worry too much about her, and nodded, "Slave understands." ”

The inner courtyard of the Royal Palace.

Yun Rongjue went to Chengming Hall to ask Yunlou for peace, and by the way listened to a few words of Yunlou's advice, and then he came out of Chengming Hall and went to Changle Palace.

In the Changle Palace, Chu Yin sat by the window, staring intently outside, preoccupied.

"Madam, His Royal Highness King Lin'an has come down." Cai Tang said in a voice.

The soft light in Chu Yin's eyes looking out of the window faded in an instant, replaced by a chill, and she snorted lightly.

Yun Rongjue stepped into the hall, and Chu Yin turned around, "It's here." ”

"Hello, please."

"You're going tomorrow." Chu Yin opened his voice.

"Yes."

"Time is so fast," Chu Yin said leisurely, "This time your father has entrusted you with this matter, and he values you, so you don't want to disappoint your father." ”

"Yes, Erchen understands."

The two of them talked with each other, and the tone was cold and detached, not at all like the two mothers and sons.

"You're going out tomorrow, and some clothes have been cut in the embroidery yard, let's see if it's suitable." After Chu Yin finished speaking, he gestured to Caitang to glance.

After a while, the palace people walked in with the embroidered clothes of the embroidery courtyard.

Yun Rongjue looked at it, with a bleak emotion in his eyes, "It was sewn by the embroidery lady of the embroidery institute?" He spoke.

"Yes, they are all sewn by the best embroiderers in the embroidery institute."

Yun Rongjue looked at these exquisitely sewn clothes, and there was no trace of joy and joy in her eyes, "Since it is sewn by the best embroiderer, there is no problem, besides, does the mother concubine have anything else to explain?" ”

Yun Rongjue looked at Chu Yin, with an undercurrent of anticipation under his peaceful eyes.

However......

This trace of his expectation, as Chu Yin's indifference gradually dissipated, it was best to disappear completely.

Except for those few words of advice to let him do his errands, as well as the clothes sewn by this embroidery girl, Chu Yin had nothing else to do with him.

He still remembers that whenever the eldest prince goes out of the house, the queen is always the one who worries the most, preparing things for travel for him, and the clothes are also sewn by the queen herself, and there are a lot of caring advice.

And the same thing is for him, but it is a world of difference.

He looked at Chu Yin's eyes, her eyes, he had seen them since he was a child, but these eyes, when facing him, he never saw a trace of care and love in them.

As in this winter weather, she gave him nothing but indifference.

……

On Yi Lanxuan's side, after Jiang Wu finished the work in his hand, he threw his mind on the outfit prepared for Yun Rongjue.

Yun Rongjue's outfit is actually ready, but Jiang Wu is always worried that there will be something missing, so he folds his hands over and over again and counts, and points it, for fear of missing it.

"Two or three pieces of warm clothing, enough, boots, and ......"

When Yun Qingqing walked into the hall, she saw the little girl holding her fingers quite seriously, and she didn't know what she was counting, "Xiao Wu!" ”

Jiang Wu was startled by the sudden scream, turned around and saw that it was Yun Qingqing, and hurriedly bowed, "Third princess." ”

Yun Qingqing helped her up with a smile, and then glanced at the burden on the table, "What are you doing here, I just came in to see that you were very serious with your fingers crossed." ”

"Back to the third princess, the slave is preparing for His Highness's trip tomorrow, I'm afraid that something will be missed."

Yun Qingqing smiled, "You are so stupid, even if there is something missing, is it possible that you can't buy it outside?" If you miss something, you can buy it on the road. She said.

Jiang Wu scratched her head, "Well, what the third princess said is, it's just that the slave thinks that when you go out, it is always more convenient to prepare well, like clothes, which are close-fitting, it is always better to prepare them yourself than to buy them outside." ”

Yun Qingqing listened to the little girl's serious words and nodded, "What you said makes sense, you are fully prepared, and your heart is more stable, Xiao Wu, you are really attentive to my fifth brother." ”

Jiang Wu stuffed the handguard at hand into Yun Rongjue's baggage, and said: "Your Highness is good to the slave, and the slave wants to repay the kindness." ”

The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by a gushing spring, and the mother has taught her.

Yun Qingqing nodded and looked at Jiang Wu like a gentleman of the academy, with a bit of teachable demeanor in her eyes. She sat down on a chair beside her, looked at her cheeks with her hands, and spoke slowly, "You are good to my fifth brother, my fifth brother is to you, and he has never been attentive to others, it seems that my fifth brother really likes you." ”

Jiang Wu was stunned, "The third princess laughed. ”

"I'm not joking, you've been with my fifth brother for a while, my fifth brother is cold and indifferent, you know, he asked you to go to the academy to study, and he cares about you everywhere, these things, he has never done it to anyone before, and I have found that since you have been by the fifth brother's side, he has more emotions, unlike before, the emotions on his face are measured with two hands."

Jiang Wu blinked lightly, listening, she didn't know what Yun Rongjue was like in the past, his temperament was elusive in her opinion, but it was also as Yun Qingqing said, mostly indifferent.

"Third princess, Your Highness, has he always been like this?" She couldn't help but ask.

Yun Qingqing picked up the dried fruit in her hand and ate it, and said while eating: "Anyway, since I can remember, that's it, oh yes, when the fifth brother was a little younger, he seemed to have more emotions, but at that time I was also young and didn't remember much, but I heard the old grandmother who used to serve the fifth brother in the palace say that the fifth brother was quite lively when he was a child, and he didn't know how it changed later." ”

Lively......

Not......

Jiang Wu couldn't imagine what it was like.

Yun Rongjue in her impression, in addition to being indifferent, she will see occasional banter, but most of them are teasing her.

"As soon as I entered the door, I heard your chattering voices, and it gave me a headache."

Suddenly, a voice brought the conversation between the two to an abrupt end.

"Fifth brother!"

Yun Qingqing happily got up from the chair and jumped in front of Yun Rongjue.

"Your Highness."

"Why are you here at this hour?" Yun Rongjue glanced at Jiang Wu, and then walked straight to her.

Yun Qingqing smiled, "I'm not here to see the fifth brother, the fifth brother is going out tomorrow, Qingqing cares about the fifth brother." ”

"You've got a heart."

Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows, "Qingqing has a heart, but the fifth brother, Xiao Wu has more heart, and the burden that the fifth brother brings with her travel, she is afraid that she doesn't know how many times she has sorted it out back and forth." ”

Yun Rongjue glanced at Jiang Wu, there was a touch of softness in her eyes, but she said: "She is stupid, and she is afraid of making mistakes." ”

Jiang Wu: "......"

"By the way, Fifth Brother, this handguard was specially made by Qingqing for Fifth Brother." Yun Qingqing ordered the palace maid to hand over the gauntlet.

Yun Rongjue raised his eyebrows, "You did it?" ”

Yun Qingqing met his eyes that could see through people, smiled, and scratched his head, "It was Yinxin who helped make it, but fifth brother, this fabric was personally selected by Qingqing, and the Tuanyun on this side, this is embroidered by Qingqing himself!" She deliberately turned over the two clouds.

Yun Rongjue lowered his eyes.

Well, she embroidered it.

The two clouds are crooked, and at first glance it is not the craftsmanship of the palace people.

"Put it inside." Yun Rongjue handed the gauntlet to Jiang Wu, who took it and put the gauntlet into the baggage.

"You go down first, this palace has something to say to the princess." Yun Rongjue said to Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu nodded obediently and withdrew from the hall in response.

Yun Qingqing poked her head out curiously, looking like Fifth Brother you have something to do, "Fifth Brother, what do you want to tell Qingqing so mysteriously, even Xiao Wu, you let you retreat." ”

Yun Rongjue walked to the table, sat down on the chair, poured a cup of tea for Yun Qingqing and handed it over.

"When I go out this time, it will take a month to go out as fast as possible, and two months to go slowly."

"Well, Qingqing knows, does the fifth brother have something to explain to Qingqing?" Yun Qingqing asked while drinking tea and eating snacks.

"You have a good relationship with that girl, during the time when the palace is not in the palace, if she has anything, you can help her, don't let people bully her." Yun Rongjue said.

Yun Qingqing opened her lips and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Fifth brother turned out to be for Xiao Wu, fifth brother, are you ...... Xiao Wu" Yun Qingqing said as she spoke, the pair of eyebrows on her eyes were very raised.

Yun Rongjue glanced lightly, "Girl's family, don't think indiscriminately." ”

Yun Qingqing stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Qingqing didn't think about it indiscriminately, doesn't the fifth brother like Xiao Wu?" But fifth brother, if you like her, why don't you accept her into your name and let her be an official woman. ”

Yun Rongjue's eyes were stained with a touch of thought, and after a while, he said, "I'm a little interested in her, but it's not yet." ”

Yun Qingqing's nunu lips, isn't it?

But when she looked at it, it was quite good.

Otherwise, how could he still remember it like this before leaving, and even told her to let her help.

However, Yun Qingqing didn't say these words again, she promised Yun Rongjue's explanation.

For dinner, it was still used by Yun Rongjue and Jiang Wu together, and there were only the two of them in the huge hall, clean but not deserted.

"Your Highness, go to bed early."

After Jiang Wu waited for Yun Rongjue, he took off his robe and washed his face.

She was just about to exit the inner hall, when suddenly, she was grabbed by a man's hand, she was stunned and looked at him suspiciously, "Your Highness?" ”

"Stay here tonight, with the main hall."

Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, and wanted her to be with her?

She hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

"There is no one in the palace right now, it is not in accordance with the rules and it is what the temple says, and besides, this is not in accordance with the rules, and it is not once or twice." Yun Rongjue said.

Jiang Wu: "......"

Those two times were accidents.

But her arms couldn't twist her thighs, and she couldn't disobey Yun Rongjue's orders.

It was quiet outside, and the hall was even quieter, and the only sound was probably the sizzling sound of the charcoal fire burning in the silver basket in the hall.

Jiang Wu was lying on the couch, a pair of small hands fell in front of her nervously, Shui Ling's big eyes were open, and she was not a little sleepy.

Yun Rongjue's eyes were closed, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes and looked sideways at the little girl beside him. The little girl opened her eyes and looked dangerous.

Suddenly.

"Yikes." Jiang Wu subconsciously exhaled softly.

Yun Rongjue's long arms stretched out and took her into her arms, the little girl was fragrant and soft, and it was very comfortable to hold.

"Your Highness......" she instinctively whispered.

Yun Rongjue hugged her, her chin against the top of her head, "Tomorrow, I'm going out." ”

Jiang Wu blinked lightly, thinking that he was going to go far away, and this time he would go out, at least for a month, or more than two months, and she was reluctant in her heart.

"Do you have anything to say to this temple?"

Jiang Wufan's lips bulged, and after a while, he said slowly: "Your Highness should take care of yourself and come back early." ”

"Are you worried?" The man said again.

Jiang Wu was slightly stunned, his eyelids lifted, looking from bottom to top, following the man's good-looking jawline, touching his ink-black eyes.

"When you travel to the main hall, will you be worried?" He repeated.
