After Gu Muqing left, Zhinan lay on his bed, followed the window next to the bed and watched the sun outside crawl into the sky little by little.

As Gu Muqing said, she didn't close her eyes all night.

She was thinking over and over again in her mind what to do today so that it could be just right and not go wrong.

With a rooster crow, she packed herself, took out the clothes ready to be sent to the palace from the cupboard, and quietly walked out of the house alone.

According to the instructions of Zun Mojun, the early Hou was at the gate of King Xuan's Mansion Fengqi, and saw Zhinan walking out with a big bag of clothes, and hurriedly carried forward his gentlemanly demeanor and stepped forward to take it.

"Miss Zhinan, why did you bring so many things?" He said as he loaded his things onto the wagon.

"I don't know this, I thought that Miss Zhinan was going to enter the palace and wouldn't come back."

Zhinan didn't talk, just smiled politely, put on a slightly unhappy face, bent down and lifted the curtain on the car, and sat in the car.

There was no word all the way, only the wheels of the carriage were heard crushing against the bluestone slab heading to the palace, making a "clacking" sound.

Feng Qi also saw that Zhinan seemed to be in a bad mood, and saw a long wound on her face, so he didn't mean to continue talking to Zhinan, but just counted the monthly payment sent by Gonggong Li yesterday again to see if he took more or less.

"Leader Feng, Miss Zhinan, we have arrived."

The carriage stopped slowly at the side gate of the palace, and the driver jumped out of the carriage, helped Fengqi and Zhinan unload the goods loaded on the carriage, and agreed with the two of them to wait for the place, and led the horse away.

Zhinan looked up at the sky above him, and then looked thoughtfully at Fengqi beside him.

She knew that when she stepped into this palace, she would never see the sun of freedom outside.

Feng Qi thought that Zhinan was asking him to help, so he hurriedly followed her and asked, "Miss Zhinan, do you have anything to tell me?"

Zhinan didn't want to talk to him, it was useless to talk more, she was afraid that she would show her feet, but Feng Qi was the most important guard by the prince's side, and she might need his help in the future.

She said to Feng Qi, "Chief Feng, I only entered the palace with my wife once last time, and I am not familiar with the route, so I asked Chief Feng to lead the way in front." ”

Feng Qi coughed, his face flushed slightly.

It was the first time that a beautiful woman like Zhinan asked for help by herself, and his blood was surging for a while, and the whole person swept away the sleepiness of getting up early and became energetic.

In fact, the last time Zhinan and Gu Muqing entered the palace, they remembered every route and pavilion they had walked in the palace early.

"Who's coming?" The two were about to enter the gate when they were stopped by two guards with spears in their hands.

"I am the close guard of the Xuan Wangye, the leader of the guard army." Feng Qi pointed to Zhinan beside him and said, "This is Miss Zhinan, the personal maid of Princess Xuan of the Xuan Palace." ”

One of the guards was surprised to hear Fengqi's name.

"It turned out to be the leader of Feng, I am a recruit trained by your subordinates before. Why didn't anyone inform us when you entered the palace today? ”

Feng Qi heard that it was his own soldiers, and there was Zhinan by his side, so he couldn't help but put up a stand for a while, he said.

"Today is our prince who suddenly called the two of us into the palace to do business, and we still need to report such things to you?"

The guard said to Feng Qi with an apologetic face, "Chief Feng, after all, we are also on an errand at the foot of this imperial city, you don't have a report inside, and you are not a minister in the court, I really can't let you in, so I will tell them to go to the palace now, and you will wait here for a while." ”

Feng Qi saw that this kid didn't give him face, and then thought that his status was not high enough to enter and leave the palace at will, and he walked to Zhinan's side a little embarrassed.

Said to her, "Miss Zhinan, you and I came in a hurry today, and something unpleasant happened yesterday, they have to follow the rules and report to the palace, you and I are here to rest for a while, how about it?" ”

Zhinan looked at Feng Qi and pointed to the big box of clothes he was in, as if he wanted to sit on it.

She waved her hand helplessly, rejected Fengqi's kindness, and told him that she just had to stand here and wait.

Feng Qi looked at Zhinan, and he didn't know what was wrong with her today, but he always felt that the atmosphere was a little different from when he usually saw her. He approached Zhinan's side again and said to her, "Miss Zhinan, you and I always see each other on weekdays, but it's all because of you and my masters, and we haven't gotten to know each other for so many years, this palace is also big, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to report and wait for someone to come over, how about you and I talk about family life here?" ”

Zhinan thought that he was staying and waiting, and he was still nervous here.

Fengqi didn't seem to have any other meaning, so it was better to make a small talk with him and divert his attention.

She looked at Fengqi and nodded.

Seeing that Zhinan agreed, Feng Qi immediately opened his conversation box and said to Zhinan, "A girl like you who looks so iconic must have countless men who pursue you, right?" ”

Zhinan was embarrassed when he heard this, how could he continue to talk to Feng Qi about this topic?

She never wants others to know her original identity, but after all, she is here, and she only entered the Xuanwang Mansion after she became an adult, saying that no one chases her, and people can't believe it.

She paused and said to Feng Qi, "Before I was taken back to the Xuanwang Mansion by my wife, my family had always been poor, and I was alone on the street either begging or selling small handicrafts, barely making ends meet, and I didn't have any thoughts about those things, love and love. ”

Feng Qi listened, nodded, and continued to ask.

"Then Miss Zhinan, forgive me for being unreasonable, you said that you have been yourself since you were a child, what about your father and mother? Don't have a brother at home? ”

When Zhinan heard this, she couldn't help but think of the past when she was a child, and she didn't lie to Feng Qi and said to him.

"Since I was a child, I was the child of a local merchant's family, and my parents ran this weaving shop, but then I somehow got into trouble with the steward of that neighborhood, and made a little move behind my back, and our family owed a lot of money, and my parents sold me to a wealthy family, and the two of them fled."
