Ji Quan, the head of the East Palace, said, "Back to Niangniang, His Royal Highness has an order to go to the front today, so that his subordinates can lead Niangniang to familiarize himself with the environment of the East Palace, and His Royal Highness specially instructed Niangniang to do his best to meet whatever needs he needs." ”

Zhang Yue said, "Okay, then there is the chief of labor discipline." ”

Ji Quan hurriedly lowered his head and bent down and said, "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates lead the way in front." ”

So Ji Quan led the way with a few guards in front, followed by Zhang Yue, and walked almost the entire East Palace.

The East Palace is not big, Ji Quan introduced it as he walked, especially when he arrived at a side door in the northwest corner, Ji Quan said to Zhang Yue as if he had no intention,

"Niangniang, this is the west gate of the East Palace, and it is only when the kitchen and miscellaneous servants buy this door, and the palace personnel generally do not go through one door."

Zhang Yue thought that this door was the most suitable for going out of the palace to play, so she and Xiaotong glanced at each other and tacitly agreed.

walked around the East Palace, but it took more than an hour. Ji Quan took Zhang Yue and the others back to the Mingde Palace. Zhang Yue sat in his seat. Ji Quan stood below,

Ji Quan clapped his hands, and two sixteen or seventeen-year-old palace maids walked in from outside the hall, looking average, but they both lowered their eyebrows and looked deferential.

After the two entered the hall, they knelt down in front of Zhang Yue,

Ji Quan said, "Niangniang, Your Highness is worried that the people in your room will not be easy to call, so let your subordinates select two palace maids by your side to help Miss Xiaotong serve you, the one on the left is called Zhiqiu, and the one on the right is called Rushui." You still don't want to see your mother? ”

The two hurriedly kowtowed, and praised in their mouths, "Rushui, Zhiqiu participates in Niangniang." ”

Zhang Yue glanced at the two of them, and sighed in his heart, there are many rules in this palace, he kneels down at every turn, and hurriedly said,

"Get up. It's pretty smart to look at. Thank you Mr. Ji for your trouble. ”

Ji Quan hurriedly said, "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates are completely acting in accordance with His Highness's orders." ”

After Ji Quan finished speaking, he was silent, as if he was waiting for something to happen.

Zhang Yue suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Manager Ji, can you prepare a set of four treasures in the study room and a small bookcase for me in the dormitory." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately."

"Oh, and besides, give Xiaotong the key to the dining room."

Ji Quan was stunned, and then said, "... Be. ”

Zhang Yue smiled, "What? Mr. Ji, is my request a bit excessive? ”

Ji Quan shook his head and said, "No, no, my subordinates will never dare to have such an idea." ”

Zhang Yue asked, "Manager Ji doesn't need to be nervous, I'm just joking, by the way, I haven't seen Manager Ji in the East Palace a few times before?" ”

Ji Quan hurriedly replied, "Back to Niangniang, my subordinates were allowed by His Royal Highness to return to their hometowns to visit relatives before, and they were not in the East Palace for more than a year, and they only came back a few days ago. ”

Zhang Yue nodded, and Zhang Yue asked some questions of interest before letting Ji Quan step back.

Zhang Yue had nothing to do, and in the afternoon, he chatted with the newcomers Rushui and Zhiqiu in the palace.

In the evening, Zhu Youzhu returned to the study of the East Palace in court clothes, he took off the court clothes, changed into the prince's regular clothes, and asked Xiao Jing behind him, "Is the princess in the dormitory?" ”

Xiao Jing said, "Back to Your Highness, the crown princess is in the dormitory at this time. Need to invite her over for dinner? ”

"No need, I'll go to her, dinner will be sent directly to the dormitory, and dinner will be used with the princess in the Mingde Hall in the future."

"Yes."

Zhu Youzhu was just about to leave the study, Ji Quan greeted him from outside, knelt down and said goodbye,

Zhu Youzhu frowned slightly, "Hurry up, didn't I say that when there are no outsiders, you don't have to make this big gift." ”

Ji Quan said respectfully, "His Royal Highness is the master of his subordinates, and when his subordinates see their masters, they must make a big salute." ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed slightly, helped Ji Quan up, and gave Xiao Jing a look, Xiao Jing walked out of the study and closed the door from the outside.

Zhu Youzhu sat behind the bookcase and said, "Are you still comfortable in the past few days when you come back?" ”

Ji Quan said, "Your Highness, your subordinates are very good. ”

"Well, the quality of the guards you've trained has been good this year. I use it very well. Last time in Wuling Mountain, thanks to you for bringing the dark guards to arrive in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, you have worked hard. ”

Ji Quan said, "Your Highness has won the award, this is what your subordinates should do." ”

Zhu Youjiao paused, his voice was slightly hoarse, "Uncle Ji, all these years, thanks to you!" You are the one who taught me martial arts and has been protecting me from many assassinations in the shadows. ”

Uncle Ji shook Ji Quan's body, and his fingers trembled unconsciously, "Little master, Ji Quan has a loss, back then in Guangxi, Miss was the life-saving benefactor of my whole family, and Ji Quan's life was given by Miss and Lao Tusi." When the old toast died, I was not with the young lady, I looked everywhere for the news of the young lady, if I hadn't found out the whereabouts of the young lady too late, she would not have been killed by the Nawan family. Protecting you is the most sacred duty of my life. ”

Zhu Youjiao's eyes dimmed, and there was a burst of sadness in his eyes, which disappeared in a few moments, and his face was still calm and unfazed.

"Wan's condition worsened last night, and his father did not go to court today, and Wan's specific condition was not reported from the Tai Hospital. Did the Dark Guard get the news? ”

Ji Quan said, "The news just came that my subordinates were about to tell you about it, and the news of the Tai Hospital was very tightly blocked, but the secret guard still found out that Wan had a very serious liver poison disease." ”

Zhu Youzhu said, "Well, let the dark guard keep an eye on it." ”

"Yes! Your Royal Highness, today's subordinates took the crown princess to familiarize themselves with the environment of the East Palace, and specially revealed the location of the side door of the East Palace to the crown princess. ”

"Well, Uncle Ji, you don't seem to have something to say."

Ji Quan said, "Don't dare, my subordinates just think that the crown princess is a little different." ”

Zhu Youjiao's dim eyes flashed with a light, "What's the difference?" ”

"The subordinates thought that Niangniang would ask the subordinates for the account books of the East Palace, the keys to the treasury, and ask for offerings and other matters."

"The result?"

"All she needs is a set of four treasures and a small bookcase to add to the dormitory, oh, she also wants the key, but it is the key to the dining room."

Zhu Youzhang's dark eyes were as deep as sea water, "Give her whatever she wants." ”

"Yes!"

"By the way, take out my Snow Wolf Hao and send it to her."

“... Be! ”

———————————————

Zhang Yue looked at a table of delicacies in a daze, just now Xiao Jing came over to pass the word, saying that His Royal Highness had dinner with him at night, but he hadn't seen him for half a day. She was too embarrassed to eat first. I have to look forward to the "food" and sigh.

A white figure finally appeared at the door, Zhang Yue jumped up and said happily, "Your Highness, you're back." ”

Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Yue's eyes with a faint trace of gentle luster,

"Yue'er, have you waited for a long time? I've got some delays. ”

"It doesn't matter, let's eat it."
