Chapter 11: The Prince Returns to the Palace
"Junyu!" Nanhua immediately ran over happily when she saw her, and took Junyu's hand affectionately. "Great, it turns out that you have arrived in the East Palace, and we can be companions together in the future!"
Junyu's face was very ugly when she heard her, and when Mama saw her inquiring gaze, she explained with some embarrassment. "Yesterday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the East Palace had left a group of palace maids who were reaching the age of age, and asked me to pick a smarter one to send them."
"That's ......" Junyu forced herself to smile, but she had already scolded this grandmother thousands of times in her heart. If she had known that there was such an opportunity, why did she bother to abandon such a child's mind before she reluctantly arrived in the East Palace, and after she came, she had not seen the prince, so she was so angry that she had nowhere to reason.
Nanhua in the previous life was later assigned to the side of Concubine Chen Niangniang in the West Palace, but in this life, there was a deviation, and sure enough, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Liu Se saw that the two knew each other, so he asked Nanhua to quickly change his clothes and tell the two about the rules in the East Palace. Under Nanhua's repeated requests, Liu Se had no choice but to divide the two of them into a room, which made Nanhua, who was already lively, more and more happy, but Junyu was not interested.
The crown prince has been going to the disaster relief for more than half a month by the emperor's order, and Junyu has been watering flowers and pruning branches in the yard every day, and he can't touch the tea leaves that Meng Langfang paid tribute to, so he doesn't know where he moved.
In the evening of that day, only a eunuch ran in from outside, shouting again and again, "Your Highness has returned to the palace!" Immediately, the East Palace became a mess. Junyu stood in place with the kettle, his head protruding, and he cleaned up neatly under the scolding of Liu Se, and stood quietly on the side waiting for Murong Qi's arrival.
Her heart pounded as she heard the footsteps getting closer.
"Your Highness!" Lou Xinyue hurriedly ran to the gate of the palace to greet Murong Qi, and when she saw that her husband had lost a lot of weight, she suddenly shed tears in distress.
Junyu raised her eyelids slightly and looked there. Murong Qi was dressed in a light yellow court robe, his hair was slightly messy, and he obviously walked back to the East Palace quickly after he had just come out of the emperor.
His eyebrows and eyes were soft, without a hint of solemnity. Junyu used to joke that his face was like the monk abbot in the temple, and looking at it made people feel that he was a kind-hearted person, like an ant who couldn't bear to step on. And Murong Qi always laughed, saying that kindness was not guilty.
"On the way back, I heard from the palace people, you have a rash, but you are all cured?" Murong Qi frowned slightly and stared at Lou Xinyue up and down, although he didn't see any trace of the rash, he was still very nervous.
Lou Xinyue shook her head, and the two naturally held hands and walked towards the inner hall.
Murong Qi felt that a gaze had been following him, and he turned his head sideways in confusion to find the owner of that gaze, but he had no clue.
Junyu retracted her gaze, she took a deep breath and suddenly felt sentimental, and when there was no one in the yard, she slowly walked back to her house, and couldn't help but shed a line of tears.
How could such a good person have expected that within two years, he would be usurped and murdered, and even his bones would be trampled on after death.
"Junyu!" Nanhua couldn't find her, so she moved back to the room, and when she opened the door, she saw her wiping her tears, and she was stunned and at a loss.
"You...... Why are you crying? She immediately asked worriedly, not knowing how to comfort her.
Junyu quickly wiped away her tears and shook her head. "It's windy in autumn, and it blows the sand into my eyes, but it hurts me."
"Well, I thought you were crying." Nanhua scratched his head and smiled. "Sister Liu Se said, Your Highness has just come back to the East Palace, and it is very busy, let you help clean the study, hurry up."
Junyu let out a "hitch", and immediately concealed his good mood and followed Nanhua to Murong Qi's study.
Although it is said that it needs to be cleaned, when Murong Qi is not in the palace, someone cleans it every day, and even a trace of ash can not be found behind the vase, and it is just a formality at the moment. She took the books that Murong Qi took away and put them back on the shelves, all the books on them were obscure just by looking at the names, Junyu didn't even look at them, she just concentrated on doing the job at hand.
I have to say that Murong Qi brought a lot of books, dozens of them, large and small, mixed with many correspondence with local officials and the imperial court. Jun Yu carefully arranged the arrangers into a stack on the desk, so that Murong Qi could get it at hand.
She straightened it for a while, and suddenly her fingers were stunned, and she saw a familiar name in this pile of letters. The yellow-brown envelope was vigorously written with the words "Song Ninghai".
"Song Ninghai?" Jun Yu muttered softly. Obviously, the flood is in Chongzhou, but why do you want to contact Song Ninghai who is far away in Jiangling? She looked around vigilantly, and saw that no one noticed that she hurriedly opened the envelope and quickly browsed it, but there was a lot of pen and ink but it was nothing more than what happened in recent days, Song Fu Ninghe.
The more bland it is, the more Jun Yu feels strange.
"What about the letters?" A man's voice came from behind him, and Jun Yu immediately stuffed the letter back, turned around and saluted Murong Qi.
Murong Qi only saw the letter in Jun Yu's arms in his eyes, he frowned and rarely showed a look of displeasure, and angrily reprimanded the eunuch who was close to him: "When did I ask you to bring the letter?" If such an important object is touched by someone with a ghost in his heart, it will definitely cause trouble! ”
Jun Yu already realized it in his heart after hearing this, and immediately put the things on the table and knelt on the ground. "Your Highness's forgiveness!"
Seeing her frightened look, Murong Qi realized that there was something strange anger in his tone, he took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and waved his hand to the trembling palace people in the study. "Let's all go down."
Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has opened his mouth, the palace people dare not disobey. Junyu stood up from the ground, lowered his head and quickly retreated. When passing by Murong Qi's side, Murong Qi suddenly felt a strange feeling, forcing him to immediately call out to Junyu, who was hurrying away, and take a serious look.
"You look very fresh, you just came?"
Jun Yu was stunned, she was puzzled that she was a drop in the sea when she was thrown into the crowd with her mediocre appearance, and she couldn't find a place that could attract Murong Qi, but she still pretended to be calm and replied respectfully: "The slave maid just came here a few days ago. ”
Murong Qi casually said "oh", and then asked, "What's the name?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid is named Junyu." Jun Yu raised his eyes slightly to observe Murong Qi's expression. He didn't react much when he heard his name, just nodded and let her go down. The slightest hint of surprise just now was extinguished again.
She retreated to the outside of the study, and soon after a while, another eunuch came to report, saying that Wei Yunhou had come to visit, and the strings that Junyu had just released tightened violently.
