The palace maid stopped in front of her quietly, "Niangniang also said that she didn't see guests for the sake of the prince and princess." If the princess really cares about her, let not disobey her. ”

"But—"

Jun Huaijin wanted to say more, but Shen Miaoyan pulled her, glanced at the palace maid, and said softly: "The queen mother must have her reasons for doing this." Let's go back and discuss with the fourth brother first, and then see how to act. ”

Jun Huaijin just came back, so she didn't know what was going on, but she was in Kunning Palace last night, and she already knew everything about it.

If King Xian really had an entanglement with Queen Gu, then at this tense stall, Queen Gu's move to close the palace gate is undoubtedly to give in to Jun Lie, which is her best choice to protect herself in the harem.

But she can't tell Jun Huaijin these insider stories.

Jun Huaijin puffed out his cheeks in displeasure, stomped on his thick-soled soap boots, and wanted to be angry at the palace maid, but he heard footsteps behind him.

When she turned around, she saw that the Xie family was coming slowly, and they should have come to greet the New Year.

She hurriedly put away the anger around her body, and looked at Xie Rongjing with a smile, she hadn't seen him for many months, his appearance was even more outstanding, and the light cyan brocade robe she was wearing today made him more and more handsome.

Xie Ning, the secretary of the military department, led his family to the palace gate, and the two sides greeted each other, Jun Huaijin jumped to Xie Rongjing's side and said angrily, "The queen mother doesn't know what's wrong today, she said that she was unwell." This palace maid hates it so much that she won't let me go in to visit the queen mother! ”

When the words landed, the palace maid saluted Xie Ning respectfully and said the original words again.

Xie Ning twisted his beard and said seriously: "Since Niangniang is unwell, then the lower officials should not bother Niangniang." ”

After that, he bowed to the palace gate seriously, "Xia Guan wishes Niangniang all the best, happiness and health!" ”

The Xie family behind him saluted one after another.

Jun Huaijin's eyes widened in surprise and pulled Xie Rongjing's sleeve, "Brother Xie, what do you mean?!" ”

Xie Rongjing quietly withdrew his sleeves, "Niangniang is unwell, so the princess should not be entangled here, so as not to disturb Niangniang's sick body." ”

With that, he walked up and left with Shainin.

Jun Huaijin stood in place, so angry that he crossed his hands on his hips, and snorted, "Okay, you Xie Rongjing, what kind of attitude do you have?!" You haven't seen me for so long, and you're doing this to me? ”

She made a lot of trouble, Shen Miaoyan grabbed her with a headache, and persuaded her for a long time before she didn't let her continue to make trouble.

Jun Tianlan quickly came over to pick up Shen Miaoyan, Jun Huaijin was very afraid of him, and hurriedly took the initiative to distance himself from Shen Miaoyan by three feet, and respectfully greeted him.

Jun Tianlan glanced at her lightly, took Shen Miaoyan's hand, and took her away.

Back at Dongliuyuan, it was already noon.

The flower hall prepared a sumptuous lunch, Gu Ming came to invite, Jun Tianlan changed into a relaxed home robe, and was waiting to go over, but Shen Miaoyan pulled his sleeve.

He looked down, the girl's face was delicate, and her amber eyes were filled with shallow anticipation.

He raised an eyebrow, "Why?" ”

"New Year's money......" Shen Miaoyan whispered.

The corners of Jun Tianlan's lips curled slightly, sat on the big chair, hugged her into his arms, raised her face, and said deliberately: "How old are you, and you dare to ask me for New Year's money?" ”

Shen Miaoyan blushed, plucked up her courage, and was confident, "The fourth brother is going to give New Year's money this year, and he will give it next year!" Every year after that, you have to give! ”

As she spoke, her face became more and more red and transparent, wrapped her arms around Jun Tianlan's neck, and leaned her cheek against his chest, "I want to be with the fourth brother year after year, for a long time...... Even if my green silk turns gray, the fourth brother still loves me and spoils me......"

Jun Tianlan's heart was soft, and he took out a long and narrow black box like a trick.

Shen Miaoyan's eyes burst with brilliance, and he hurriedly opened the black box, only to see that on the velvet cloth inside, there was a beautifully carved lotus hosta lying quietly.

The white jade is transparent, and there is no flaw at all.

Jun Tianlan held the hosta and pressed the stamen of one of the lotus flowers, and a thin and sharp steel needle suddenly poked out from the tip of the hosta, exuding a strong cold glow in the room.

Shen Miaoyan's eyes widened, and her face was even more joyful, "What a powerful secret weapon!" ”

"The hairpin was destroyed by Qin Xi, and this handle was designed by me and carefully forged by craftsmen. Now that the pickaxe capital is becoming more and more peaceful, you can also have an extra layer of protection if you wear it. ”

Jun Tianlan said, inserting the hairpin for her.

Shen Miaoyan jumped off his thigh and ran into the compartment happily, "I'll look in the mirror!" ”

After a while, she rushed out again, holding a cardboard box in her hand, a little shy, "Fourth brother, this is my gift to you!" ”

Jun Tianlan opened it, and there was a set of neatly folded plain white silk shirts in the carton.

When he picked it up, the clothes were a little rough, but he knew that every stitch and thread on it was sewn for him by his little girl.

"Fourth brother, this is my first time making clothes, and I'm not very proficient...... Wait for me, I'll make you a better ......" The girl blushed with her hands behind her back.

Jun Tianlan scooped her to his side and kissed her lips heavily, "I like it very much." ”

It's really like.

The affairs of the New Year are complicated, but fortunately, Jun Tianlan, as the crown prince, does not need to take the initiative to give gifts to others, just return the gifts.

And Gu Ming's housekeeper is really capable, he has already prepared the return gifts, and sent people to each house one by one, without any mistakes.

In this way, it also made some nobles who still despised Jun Tianlan see that even if the crown prince returned from the Chu State, which they looked down on, he was still impeccable in terms of etiquette, and even better than those nobles who were born and raised in the Great Zhou.

During this period, Xue Baozhang wanted to go back to Xue's house to visit relatives, but Jun Tianlan did not stop her and directly let her go back.

It is the sixth day of the first lunar month, because the Lantern Festival and the Wanshou Festival are approaching, the capital of Ho is even more lively than on Chinese New Year's Eve, almost all the merchants of the four countries have arrived, the city inns are full of people from different countries, and the street market is all night long, and the noise is extraordinary.

The Dongliu Courtyard was calm, Jun Tianlan sat behind the bookcase to deal with the official documents, Shen Miaoyan sat on the soft couch with this medical book, turned a few pages, and couldn't help but ask: "Fourth brother, why haven't I seen you wear the middle coat I made?" Don't you like it? Or does the size not fit? ”

Jun Tianlan closed one official document, opened the other, and said lightly: "It fits very well, and I like it too." ”

He's just, reluctant to wear it.

I'm afraid I'll wear it out.

Shen Miaoyan pursed her mouth, she couldn't see through this man, so she simply lay on the soft couch and covered her face with a medical book.

She went to the imperial mausoleum yesterday and put incense on the eldest princess.

The fourth brother said that the eldest princess died at the hands of the virtuous king, but the virtuous king came and went without a trace, leaving no trace, and there was no way to take revenge.

But......

She opened her eyes suddenly.
