Zhou Youchen's words were not much, Meng Xilan sat with him for a while, he didn't take the initiative to say a word, he only answered a word when others asked.

Suddenly, Gao Fuli hurriedly trotted back, with an extra boxy food box in his hand, filled with colorful snacks.

"The servant didn't know whether His Highness liked salty food or sweet food, so he took some of each. Your Highness, take a look at ......"

Zhou Youchen's body leaned forward, pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and didn't speak, he directly reached out to get it in the box.

Gao Fuli's hand of chopsticks hurriedly withdrew backwards. It stands to reason that these snacks should be taken out first and then placed on a plate before they can be eaten.

"Wait." Seeing this, Meng Xilan gently stopped him, took out his handkerchief and dipped it in some tea, and wiped his hands. "There are rules for eating, and now that you are the Ninth Highness, you can no longer behave as casually as before."

Zhou Youchen looked at her intently, his hand hung in the air and did not move, only when she finished wiping her head and nodded, she grabbed a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth.

He ate in a hurry, a piece of dim sum didn't need two bites to eat, he ate it in his mouth, he still had to hold it in his hand, and the expression on his face was a little imposing, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was gobbling it up.

Gao Fuli stood aside, stunned, and said in his heart: Where is this what the master should have? It's clearly a down-and-out beggar on the street!

He was stunned, Meng Xilan also lowered her head, she had never seen anyone eat like this, she didn't know what to say for a while, and her mood was very complicated. So you can imagine what kind of life he lived......

Zhou Youchen didn't feel how ugly his eating looked at all, he only ate all the dim sum, and didn't even drink tea in the middle.

Gao Fuli hurriedly sent the tea bowl over and said cautiously: "Your Highness, drink saliva." Beware of choking ......"

Zhou Youchen ate his mouth full of dim sum dregs, took the tea bowl, and drank it all as soon as he raised his head.

Gao Fuli watched from the sidelines, and he couldn't help but panic again...... Where is this still the appearance of being a master?

Meng Xilan sighed lightly, grabbed a handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "You eat like this, what should you do if you turn around and let the emperor see it?" ”

Zhou Youchen was puzzled and frowned: "I'm not afraid, let him see if my father likes to see it." ”

He didn't seem to be familiar with the rules of the palace, and he didn't shy away from his words.

"Didn't the palace send someone over to teach you the rules?" Meng Xilan was slightly surprised in her heart.

The princes and princesses in the palace have been accompanied by a teacher since they were young, who is responsible for teaching them how to follow the rules of the palace and how to speak and act. Zhou Youchen is now a righteous master, and there should be someone around him to teach him every word and deed.

Zhou Youchen suddenly pursed the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and smiled before saying, "Did you say those old women?" They were all mad at me and ran away. ”

It turned out that the emperor had already instructed the Internal Affairs Office to allocate people to the Changqing Palace to take care of Zhou Youchen's food, clothing.

However, Zhou Youchen has a strange temperament, and he doesn't like to be close to people, he never allows anyone to follow him, and he is used to eating and sleeping alone, those eunuchs and palace maids can't get close to him at all, as for the grandmothers who are responsible for teaching the rules, it is rare for him to keep no one.

When Meng Xilan heard this, she looked at Zhou Youchen and said lightly: "You are the master, you can't have no one around to serve you." ”

Zhou Youchen obviously had his own idea in his heart, he lowered his head and kicked the pebble on the ground, "I don't need anyone to serve me, and I'm not their master." I'm not uncommon to those evil-minded minions! ”

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, knowing that he was used to being bullied by the palace people, he was wary and his mind was heavy.

"The minions in this palace are not bad-hearted. As the saying goes, the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time. In the future, you will have a long time in the palace, and you can't always be alone. ”

Zhou Youchen lowered his head when he heard this, and suddenly became silent.

Who is here for a lifetime?! He didn't want to, and when the revenge was avenged, he would leave here and never come back. But he couldn't say these things to her, because his aunt wouldn't let him say them, even if he died......

Meng Xilan looked up at the sky, it had been a while since she came out, and it was time to go back. However, she didn't want to leave him alone, so she said, "Come back to Cining Palace with me." Let's go and say hello to the Queen Mother, okay? ”

Zhou Youchen refused without thinking about it: "I won't go." ”

What is the Queen Mother...... Left is just an old woman.

"The Queen Mother is your elder and your nominal grandmother, you should go over and say hello to her." Meng Xilan didn't have to force him, she just felt that these were all courtesies. Moreover, the Queen Mother is old and soft-hearted, seeing him so thin and pitiful and helpless in the palace, she will definitely feel more pity for him in the future.

"I'm not going, I'm not going to see the old woman. Meng Xilan, let's just stay here together, can't we? Zhou Youchen was still unwilling, stared at her eyes, and asked, "Can't you?" ”

Meng Xilan wanted to persuade again, but Gao Fuli behind her was bold, gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, bowed her body, and whispered: "Master, let's not go, he ...... His Royal Highness the Ninth has passed with such foul language, so that the Queen Mother can see it, wouldn't it be even worse! ”

Zhou Youchen in front of him didn't stand up, sat or didn't sit, and his behavior didn't have the slightest royal bearing! Not to mention the queen mother, anyone in the palace will feel uncomfortable when they see it.

Meng Xilan listened to it and thought about it.

However, it will take a long time for him to learn all the rules in the palace and then go to see the Queen Mother.

The afternoon breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers came to their faces, Meng Xilan and Zhou Youchen sat in this pavilion for nearly an afternoon, no one spoke, just listened to the wind, smelled the flowers, and even Gao Fuli felt bored, and quietly leaned on the pillar and dozed off.

When she went back in the evening, Zhulu was so anxious that her face was wrong: "Where did the master go?" I went all afternoon, and I didn't let the slaves and maids follow ......"

Meng Xilan saw that she was a little panicked, and said with a smile: "I'm just going to take a walk in the imperial garden, what are you afraid of?" We are in the palace now, not outside the palace, and we can be harmed casually. ”

"Master, don't say such things, it's unlucky." Zhulu whispered to stop her.

Meng Xilan smiled silently, took off her cloak, and went to lie down on the soft couch for a while.

Gao Fuli followed behind, glanced at her quietly, and gave her a look.

Meng Xilan was a little tired, and she didn't even have dinner and rested directly.

After she fell asleep, Zhulu walked out of the house and saw Gao Fuli squatting in the courtyard eating fruit, so she kicked him lightly with her toes: "Hurry up, where did you go with your master during the day?" ”

"Sister Zhulu, the master just went to the Imperial Garden to sit down."

"You grind again......" Zhulu saw that he deliberately sold Guanzi, and stretched out his hand to greet him.

Gao Fuli hurriedly softened: "Sister spare my life, I said it's not okay?" Actually, today's master met His Royal Highness the Ninth in the Imperial Garden......"

Zhu Lu didn't react for a while when she heard this, and after thinking about it, her eyes widened and said, "You said the one from the Changqing Palace?" ”

Gao Fu bit the core and nodded. "Well, it's him, Concubine Xiao's son, and now His Royal Highness the Nine."

"He ......" As soon as she thought of Zhou Youchen, Zhu Lu couldn't help but be a little late, thought about it, and only said one sentence slowly: "He's a weirdo!" ”

Gao Fuli smiled lightly when he heard this, nodded and agreed: "That's right, he's really a freak." ”

Zhulu also squatted down and instructed him: "Xiao Lizi, next time there is such a thing, you have to keep some attention, don't let that freak ...... No, His Royal Highness was shocked and hurt our master. ”

Gao Fuli glanced at her, shook his head and said, "Sister, you really think wrong, the Ninth Highness has nothing to worry about to our master." I said earlier, the master treated him so well before, His Royal Highness Nine must have remembered it in his heart. ”

Zhulu pouted: "What about remembering?" He's so weird, I'm afraid that something will happen to him when he turns around, and it will affect our master. ”

The master is soft-hearted, especially for Zhou Youchen, who pays attention to it, and can't persuade her, so she is even more worried.

Gao Welfare is the opposite of her, during the day, he really sees it. Zhou Youchen only has kindness to his master, and has no malice.

However, his words and deeds are indeed incompatible with everything in this palace, and whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future will have to be done by himself.

The night is getting deeper, the moon and stars are sparse, Meng Xilan is lying on the bed and sleeping shallowly, her breathing is slow, her long eyelashes tremble slightly with her heartbeat, like the thin layer of butterfly wings on the body of a resting butterfly, I don't know when it will unfold.

The bright moonlight outside the window dimmed a lot through the veils, but it could still illuminate everything in the room.

Suddenly, a shadow from nowhere hurriedly crossed the window, causing Meng Xilan to slowly open her eyes.

She has always slept very lightly, especially to light and sound.

She propped herself up slightly, only to feel that there was a slender figure beside her bed, but unfortunately through the layers of veils, she couldn't see the person's face clearly.

"Bamboo dew......" Meng Xilan subconsciously opened her mouth and called, her voice slightly hoarse.

At this time, only Zhulu, who is on duty at night, will come in and cover the quilt for her.

The shadow in front of the bed moved slightly, but did not speak.

Meng Xilan only felt that something was wrong, and there was a strange feeling in her heart. She slowly raised her hand to lift the curtain of the bed, and by the moonlight, she finally saw who the figure was......

Her eyes blinked quickly a few times, and she looked at Zhou Youchen who seemed to fall from the sky in disbelief, and then looked around again, and the whole person froze.

Meng Xilan's mind was a little heavy, and she thought in a trance that she was dreaming, although the person in front of her should not appear in her dream at all...... However, Meng Xilan hoped that it was really just a dream, not a reality.
