Chapter 246: Returning to the Owner

After Hua Luo asked, Yan Wujian didn't speak for a long time.

Hua Luo felt very strange, "What, is there anything inconvenient for Yu Shu-kun to say?" Look at the book

Yan Wujian opened his mouth and was about to say something.

At this time, a female official came over and saluted Hua Luo: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is invited."

Hua Luo stood up, "Jushu-kun, why don't you go back first, I'll come back to you when I'm free."

"Okay, Your Highness will go first, business matters." Yan Wujian agreed.

Hua Luo followed the female official and hurriedly left, Yan Wujian looked at the sunset in the west, the lake was sparkling, and walked slowly in the direction of the palace gate, but he didn't expect to meet Zhan Xing head-on.

Zhan Xing looked stunned for a moment, and then found that Yan Wuqian was alone, as if he was leaving, "Gongzi Wuji, what about Your Highness, wasn't Your Highness with you just now."

"Your Majesty has sent someone to call her away." Yan Wujian replied.

"I see."

Yan Wujian saw that there was nothing to say, so he said, "Miss Zhanxing, don't worry, maybe His Highness will come back soon, I still have to find Wuyi, go first."

Yan Wujian had just taken a step when Zhan Xing suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute."

Yan Wujian stopped and turned around: "Miss Zhanxing, is there anything else?"

Zhan Xing bit his lip, but still decided to reveal the secret that he had hidden in his heart for a long time, "Childe Wuji, I have a few questions for you."

"Questions?" Yan Wujian was very surprised, after all, Zhan Xing's impression on him was just Hua Luo's sidekick, and he actually wanted to ask him a question, was it about Hua Luo?

Therefore, Yan Wujian agreed, "Okay, this is not the place to talk, there is a pavilion over there, let's go to the pavilion and talk."

Zhan Xing nodded, and followed Yan Wujian to the pavilion.

The two sat down in the pavilion, and Zhan Xing raised his head and looked at Yan Wujian seriously, "Master Wuji, many years ago, did you enter the palace?"

"Yes." Yan Wujian admitted, "I came with my father, but I was still young at that time, and I forgot a lot of things."

Then, he looked at Zhanxing with some surprise, "Zhanxing girl, how did you know? Could it be that we met after I entered the palace."

Although his memory was very vague, Yan Wujian thought carefully and recalled seriously, it seemed that he had only entered the palace for a short period of time, and he followed his father after paying tribute.

Although Zhan Xing had already speculated in his heart, he completely concluded from Yan Wuqiao that he had really forgotten.

Also, he was so young at the time, and he was just a little girl he met in the water, how could he remember himself.

Zhan Xing smiled bitterly, seeing that Yan Wuqian was still waiting for her to solve her doubts, "Gongzi Wuji, you have entered that palace, right?"

"Yes." Yan Wuwu nodded, "I haven't been here except for that time, until this time when my father was not in good health, and I was able to enter the capital instead of him to pay tribute."

Zhan Xing continued to ask, "Childe Wuxi, did you lose anything after entering Beijing that time?"

Yan Wujian was even more surprised, "Yes, my mother lost the jade pendant that my mother made for me and Wuyi, Miss Zhanxing, you?"

Zhan Xing slowly spoke, his tone flat, "Childe Wuji, I don't know how much you know about me, I'll make a long story short."

"I believe you also know, in fact, I am also a princess, and the reason why I became a maid is just because I became a king and lost a king, and His Majesty couldn't tolerate me and my sister, and because he couldn't break his promise to spare our lives."

"We haven't been following Ah Luo, three years ago, my sister and I were the most humble weeds in this palace, anyone who was unhappy could step on two feet, life was thinner than paper, until Ah Luo lacked a personal maid, my sister and I were transferred to the East Palace, and life was better."

"Before this, we have been doing rough work in the dirtiest corners of the palace, such days are endless, the most difficult thing is that when we were young, in the eyes of His Majesty, we were not worthy of life, and the people below naturally would not be too polite, rubbing us hard, they would not pity us because I was young."

"When my sister and I were very young

Wait, living in a large square courtyard, wearing brocade clothes, wearing a collar made of mutton fat and white jade, a group of slaves, and a nurse to take care of her, but when we entered the palace, there was endless work every day, and we could only wear coarse cloth clothes, we were pampered, and my sister was weak, and they fell ill after a few strokes."

"But those black-hearted people don't treat my sister at all, I can only do my best to take care of her, hoping that she can get better, because she is the only relative by my side."

Speaking of the past, Zhanxing, who has never been emotional, couldn't help but sniff.

"However, in the case of deliberately excluding me and my sister in the palace, it was difficult for me to find some clean food for her, and I finally got a few cold steamed buns and was discovered, I was beaten and scolded by them, spitting, and fists fell on me like raindrops, I didn't say a word, only tightly guarded the steamed buns in my arms."

"Because if my sister didn't eat again, she would die, but even so, they broke my fingers one by one......

At this point, Zhanxing's voice was already choked.

Yan Wujian expressed deep sympathy, took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to Zhanxing.

"Thank you." Zhanxing realized his gaffe, took the handkerchief and printed the red circles under his eyes.

"How's it going, are you alright?" Yan Wuqian asked with concern.

"It's fine."

"Miss Zhanxing don't have to be sad, this is a thing of the past after all, fortunately, His Royal Highness treats you and Miss Zhaoyue quite well, and you can be regarded as keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon."

Yan Wujian could see that Hua Luo really didn't have anything to say to Zhanxing and Zhaoyue.

Although most of the suffering of Zhanxing and Zhaoyue was caused by the empress, it was none of Hualuo's business, Hualuo was two years younger than Zhanxing Zhaoyue, and when the two of them were suffering, Hualuo didn't know anything at all.

"Innocent Child, I'm not saying this to make you sympathize with me." Zhan Xing stabilized his mood, "That day, I was greatly insulted in order to protect those steamed buns, but they also crushed and stained all the food I worked so hard to find, and just when I was desperate, someone came forward to drive them away for me."

"It's just that he lost his things, and I've kept his things all these years, and I'm grateful to him."

After saying it in one breath, Zhan Xing looked up at Yan Wuji, who was stunned.

"So, Childe Wuji, do you really not remember me?"

Yan Wujian suddenly realized, "It turned out to be you, it turned out to be you! I remembered that you were the same little girl who was bullied and skinny like a cat, and I really didn't recognize you."

Once, Zhan Xing and Zhao Yue were brought into the palace and suffered all kinds of setbacks, and they lost weight in a short period of time, but now Zhan Xing and Zhao Yue eat and wear better than ordinary noble ladies, and they are naturally different from the past.

"You finally remember."

"Actually, I have a memory, and when I went back, I also remembered it by chance, and I just wanted it to ......."

"Hope for what?" Zhanxing asked.

"I hope that little girl who was bullied will be better off." Yan Wujian sighed, "It's good to see you safe and sound now."

Zhan Xing took out the box, and in the box was the jade pendant that Yan Wujian had lost when he was a child.

"I've been keeping this jade pendant for you, and I only later learned that you were the little boy who helped me, but I didn't know how to tell you about it, I just happened to meet today, and things must be returned to their original owners."

Yan Wujian opened it and saw that this jade pendant was still like new, he accepted the jade pendant and thanked Zhanxing.

"Thank you, Miss Zhanxing, this jade pendant looks no different from what I used to wear on my body, which shows that you have taken care of the jade pendant."

"How can I not keep my benefactor's things? Childe, what happened back then may have been just a gesture for you, but it has a very unusual meaning for me, and I tell you today, not only is it as simple as returning the jade pendant, but I also hope to repay your kindness."

Yan Wujian waved his hand, "Miss Zhanxing's words are serious, it is indeed just a gesture, you don't have to take it to heart, as long as you see that the girl is fine, how can it be as serious as you said."

"Okay, Miss Zhanxing don't have to be polite, I have to go find Wuyi, and I will say goodbye first."

Yan Wujian resolutely rejected Zhanxing's proposal to repay, said goodbye to Zhanxing and got up to leave.

Zhan Xing looked at Yan Wuji's back for a long time, until it completely disappeared.

Zhan Xing stood up, always feeling empty in his heart, as if something was missing.

She returned to the East Palace in a daze, Zhaoyue looked elated, and snickered from time to time.

Zhan Xing's face was blank, and Zhao Yue found that Zhan Xing's expression was wrong, "Sister, what's wrong with you, I asked just now, it seems that His Majesty has something to do with His Royal Highness, maybe Ah Luo will come back later."

"Sister, what are you doing in a daze?" Zhao Yue stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Zhanxing.

"Nothing." Zhan Xing came back to his senses, "Zhaoyue, you're back so soon?"

"yes." Seeing Zhaoyue's happy look, Zhan Xing didn't know what to say for a while.

"Sister, you said that I used to look away, I was not ladylike, but I liked that Wei Xianglin, I think no little brother is much better than him."

Zhan Xing shook his head, "That's not all the same, they are all good for nothing, and I don't think Yan Wuyi likes you much, if he really likes you, he won't let you take the initiative to ask for this marriage, you are so wishful thinking, are you really not afraid of hardship?"

"I believe that 100 steels can be turned into finger twisters, it doesn't matter if he doesn't like me now, as long as I treat him well, he will like me one day! Maybe he won't be used to leaving me when the time comes."

"You girl, you're really blindly optimistic." Zhan Xing shook his head helplessly.

Seeing Zhaoyue's excited appearance, he was reluctant to splash her cold water after all, but turned around and went back to the house silently.

"Sister! What room do you go back to in broad daylight, and where are you not feeling well and want to rest?" Zhaoyue shouted behind Zhanxing.
