Chapter 147: A Chance Encounter
After Yunli and Gonggong Li left, it didn't take long for dinner to be delivered.
This Father-in-law Li still pays attention to efficiency as before.
Faced with a sumptuous dinner, Jin Zhao took a few bites of rice and put down the dishes and chopsticks. The palace maid on the side asked softly: "Is it not to your liking, or the slave maid will withdraw you and replace it with something else?"
Jin Zhao waved his hand and said, "No, the food is very good, but I ate a lot of snacks before, and I'm not very hungry now."
Subsequently, Jin Zhao asked people to withdraw the meal.
Jin Zhao looked at the moonlight outside the window, he was not sleepy, he knew that he could leave Qiaoci behind and talk to her. She slowly withdrew her gaze, and met the eyes of the palace maid on the side, and Jin Zhao raised his hand to beckon her over.
The little palace maid said respectfully: "What do you have to say about the eldest lady?" ”
As she spoke, the little palace maid looked down at the upper of her shoes.
Jin Zhao looked at her carefully before saying, "You are Red Sleeves." ”
The palace maid raised her head in surprise when she heard this, and then quickly lowered her head. The voice whispered: "How did the young lady know the name of the slave?" Did the princess tell you? “
Jin Zhao smiled and hummed casually. Back then, Yun Li married away from home, and there were red sleeves among the palace maids who accompanied the marriage.
Red Sleeves, who was originally a little nervous, saw Jin Zhao take the initiative to talk to her with a smile on his face, and he was a little flattered when he was excited.
Su Jinzhao saw her restrained appearance, so he asked, "What, are you afraid of me?"
Red Sleeves was stunned when he heard this, his face turned red, and he replied in a low voice: "No, no." After thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong.
Jin Zhao didn't believe it, if he wasn't afraid of her, why didn't he even dare to raise his eyes to look at her.
The smile on Jin Zhao's face was still there, but his voice was a little higher and said, "Since you are not afraid of me, why do you lower your head and dare not look at me."
Red Sleeves listened, bit her lip, and finally replied truthfully: "The slave maid thinks that the eldest lady should be a powerful person, the last flower banquet, you said that the two young ladies of the Yan family and the Pan family were speechless, especially Miss Pan is really angry, and the palace maids are talking about you in private."
As he spoke, Red Sleeves suddenly realized something and busied his mouth.
Jin Zhao was curious about what the palace maids were talking about her in private, so he asked, "What did they say about me?"
Just now, he made a slip of the tongue and said that he missed his mouth, but he didn't expect to be caught by Jin Zhao, so Red Sleeves had to reply: "Say that you are so good, even the eldest lady of the Yan family is not afraid, and even our princess usually has to give three points to her."
As he spoke, Red Sleeves raised his head slightly, with a look of adoration.
That's the granddaughter of the elder of the pavilion, a woman who is not afraid of power, but it is rare.
Jin Zhao bent his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Why should I be afraid of her, if she is reasonable, I naturally have nothing to say."
Red Sleeves thought about what she meant, Jin Zhao saw that the time was still early, and Yun Li couldn't come back for a while, so he said to Red Sleeves: "I'll go out for a walk, I'll be back in a while, if the princess comes back, please tell her."
Red Sleeves answered, and when Jin Zhao passed by her, his eyes were slightly raised, he looked at her back quietly, and said: "The eldest lady is not very familiar with the palace, if she gets lost, the princess will blame the slave if she knows, or the slave will lead the way for you."
Jin Zhao waved his hand and said, "No, I know the way."
Without waiting for Red Sleeves to open his mouth again, Jin Zhao had already left the house. Looking at the girl's departing back, Red Sleeves sighed and had no choice but to give up.
This will be a change of guard on duty, Jin Zhao doesn't want to attract attention, lest she meet someone in the palace, and she has to bother to explain, which is really troublesome, so she walks on a small path. Although it is a little quieter, it is quite quiet when walking alone.
I remember that when she first entered the palace, she couldn't stay in the house, and she often liked to go out for a walk, but she didn't know that the palace was better than in the Su family, and she got lost after walking for a long time, and once Yu Wenyu found her.
Later, Yu Wenyu also specially ordered someone to draw every place in the palace, down to every corner on the drawings and sent her over, but I didn't expect it to be very practical, since then, there is no such thing as getting lost. Gradually, she became familiar with the palace.
Presumably at that time, Yu Wenyu must have thought of such a method because she couldn't figure it out, thinking of this, Jin Zhao couldn't help laughing.
At this time, the person who suddenly appeared in front of her made her stop.
Jin Zhao looked at the man who was slowly walking towards her in front of him with a stunned face, and was confused for a while, planning to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. If she did this, she was undoubtedly telling the other party that she intended to avoid it.
Right now, it's impossible to go, forget it, Jin Zhao told himself, if you come, you will be safe.
I knew that she would run into Yu Wenyu, so she simply stayed in the house and didn't come out.
Yu Wenyu naturally didn't expect to meet Su Jinzhao here, so he walked over quickly, looked at her and said, "See you again."
But we met again.
Su Jinzhao saluted him very respectfully and said, "I've seen the three princes."
Yu Wenyu raised his hand and motioned for her to get up: "You and I don't have to see each other like this in private." Anyway, it can be regarded as someone who has met a few times, and it is relatively familiar.
However, that was Yu Wenyu's own thoughts, Su Jinzhao didn't think so, she said: "You are a dignified prince, even if you are a familiar person, you can't ignore your identity, not to mention that the palace is a place where rules are respected, my mother has taught me to be polite since I was a child, and Jinzhao can't trespass the rules and forget his identity."
Yu Wenyu listened to it and didn't plan to argue with her about this issue, so he said, "That's it, it's up to you." After a pause in his tone, he seemed to think of something, and asked, "The tea party is over, it stands to reason that you should not go back, why did you appear here?" ”
It's no wonder that Yu Wenyu is strange, her appearance here at night is indeed a little inexplicable.
Su Jinzhao replied: "After the tea party, I was going to go back with my mother, but the princess talked to me, so she stayed alone, who knew that she was patronizing and talking, and she didn't pay attention to the time for a while, and the princess saw that it was getting late, and she didn't worry about me going back, so she persuaded me to stay."
I see, he was still wondering how she could be in the palace.
Yu Wenyu nodded and asked, "By the way, why are you alone, why didn't Yunli accompany you?"
Since Yunli's girl left people behind, but let others alone, it is not impossible for this big night, if the guards on duty are taken down as assassins.
Jin Zhao replied again: "The princess went to play chess with the saint, and I stayed alone in the house and panicked, so I came out for a walk."
Yu Wenyu listened to it and only hummed. Su Jinzhao didn't know how much the other party believed her words, but what mattered, she was going to go back anyway.
Just as he was about to speak, Yu Wenyu said loudly: "If there is nothing else, come with me."
