Chapter 81: The Crown Princess
While giving Zhang Yue food, Zhu Youzhu listened to Zhang Yue happily talk about the delicacies of Tiannan and Haibei.
In the past, he dined alone, extremely quiet. It seems that eating will not be too lonely, and the corners of his mouth will rise unconsciously when he thinks of this.
Zhang Yue was soon full, the palace people removed the meal, and in a blink of an eye, Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Yue were left in the room.
Zhang Yue suddenly remembered something, and looked at Zhu Youzhu pitifully,
"Your Highness, are we going to meet someone tomorrow?"
Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said with a smile, "No need, in the future, you don't have to visit anyone except for major festivals or summons in the palace." ”
Zhang Yue was happy, "Great." Your Highness, can I do what I want in the East Palace? ”
Zhu Youzhu smiled, "Yes, you are free here." ”
"Then can I leave the East Palace at will and find Senior Brother Dongyang and Yuan Mo?"
Zhu Youzhu paused slightly, and then said, "Yes, but you have to disguise yourself and let the guards protect you before you go, your current identity is the crown princess." If you show your identity, it will be inconvenient and unsafe. ”
"There's no problem with disguise, it's just that the guards don't need it, I can protect myself. Your Highness, don't let the guards follow me. ”
Zhu Youzhu groaned, "Okay." ”
Zhang Yue smiled, "Great, thank you, Your Highness." ”
A warm smile tugged up on Zhu Youjiao's lips, and he said softly,
"Actually, I still like you to call me Rumo, just like when I was in the academy."
Zhang Yue said, "When there are no outsiders, I still call you Rumo." ”
Zhu Youzhang's eyes lit up and said, "Okay." Yue'er, do you want to rest early today? You've been so tired for the past two days. ”
Zhang Yue was indeed tired, and he wanted to sleep very much at this time. But when she thought of sleeping, she thought of a tricky question, and asked a little shyly,
"Okay, that, Rumo, do I sleep here?"
Zhu Youzhu said, "Yes, didn't you already sleep here last night?" ”
Zhang Yue asked again, "What about you?" ”
Zhu Youzhu said, "This is the Mingde Palace, the dormitory where the prince and the princess live. Of course we all slept here. ”
Zhang Yue replied, "Oh..."
Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Yue's shy appearance, and was funny in his heart,
"Yue'er, you sleep on the bed in the inner room, and I sleep on the couch in the outer hall. There is a screen in the middle, which gives each other enough space even though it is in one room. Do you say okay? ”
Zhang Yue raised his head, looked at Zhu Youjiao's sincere gaze, nodded irresistibly, and said, "Okay." ”
Zhu Youzhang's bottomless eyes raised a faint and elegant smile, "Then you go to sleep, I'll go to the study to deal with some things, and I'll come back later." ”
Zhang Yue agreed. Zhu Youzhu turned around and walked out of the room.
Zhang Yue called Xiaotong outside the room to come in, and after helping him wash up, he went to bed to rest.
The dormitory of Mingde Hall is particularly spacious, Zhang Yue looked at the ceiling, and suddenly an idea sprouted in his heart - it seems good to be a princess. Immediately, Zhang Yue was frightened by his own thoughts, and secretly blamed himself for being tired and cranky.
Not long after, Zhang Yue fell asleep......
This night, Zhang Yue slept very soundly, and when he woke up the next day, the sky was already bright. She got up, jumped over the screen, and found the couch outside as empty as it had been before she had gone to bed the previous night.
Zhang Yue pondered, Your Highness hasn't returned overnight? Or do you wake up very early?
Xiaotong came in from outside with a basin of hot water, Zhang Yue didn't think about it anymore, and quickly freshened up and had breakfast.
After breakfast, Zhang Yue wanted to familiarize himself with the environment of the East Palace, so he took Xiaotong and walked out of the Mingde Palace.
The Mingde Hall is the main hall of the East Palace, the other houses of the East Palace are all built around the Mingde Palace, the back of the Mingde Hall is a small garden, the garden is built with ponds and rockeries, flowers and plants, full of vitality, Zhang Yue walked along the path by the pond.
Xiaotong was very excited, and chatted with Zhang Yue while walking, "Miss, it's not right, it's wrong, it should be Niangniang." ”
Zhang Yue laughed in a low voice, "Xiaotong, it doesn't matter, when there are no outsiders, you still call me Miss." Anyway, I'm ...... with Your Highness As you know, when His Highness is safe, I still have to leave here. ”
"Yes, miss." Xiao Tong hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, Xiao Tong thinks His Royal Highness is really good to you!" Last night, when His Highness came back, it was already late, and His Highness's bedtime movements were very gentle, for fear of waking you up! This morning, His Royal Highness got up and went to court in less than three watches, and when he left, he specially instructed Xiaotong to let you sleep a little longer. ”
Zhang Yue's heart warmed, and he said, "Your Highness is a good person, we will know this in Wuling Mountain." ”
"Oh....." Xiaotong wanted to say something, but still held back.
Zhang Yue suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Xiaotong, you live in the East Palace with me, why are you so familiar with the environment of the East Palace than I am." ”
"Hehe, miss, yesterday you entered the palace with His Royal Highness, and I pestered Mu Bin to take me around in a big circle. Do you see the pavilion next to the pond on the other side of the garden, I heard Mu Bin say that His Royal Highness likes gardens, and he is usually very willing to wander alone in the pavilion in the garden to think about problems. Further on, there is the dining room of the East Palace, which is very large, several times larger than the kitchen of our academy......"
Zhang Yue looked at the elated Xiaotong and smiled teasingly, Xiaotong stopped talking strangely, "Miss, what are you laughing at?" ”
Zhang Yue pretended to be serious and said, "How do I remember, when you came to the East Palace with me before, you still scolded that Mu Bin in front of me, it's only been a few days, what's the matter?" Is the relationship so good? ”
Xiaotong blushed, and quickly explained, "Miss, don't talk nonsense, he treated Miss so much before, it's his fault!" However, during this time, His Royal Highness passed on the news, and he asked Mu Bin to pass on the message, so he had more contact, and Xiaotong felt that although this person was cold-faced, his heart was not bad. I also..... I forgave him. ”
Zhang Yue smiled secretly in his heart, his face was still serious, and he wanted to tease Xiaotong a few more words, when a few people came to him.
The first one was about fifty years old, not tall, with bright eyes, and wore a dark blue robe.
He walked up to Zhang Yue, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully, "Ji Quan, the head of the East Palace, see the crown princess." ”
Zhang Yue thought that this person was originally the head of the East Palace, so he said, "Oh, Manager Ji, get up quickly, you don't need to be polite." ”
Ji Quan stood up, "My subordinates went to Mingde Hall to meet Niangniang just now, and the palace maid on duty said that you were not in the palace, but came to the garden for a walk, and my subordinates looked for it all the way." ”
Zhang Yue asked, "Is there something wrong with Manager Ji looking for me?" ”
