Episode 39: It's really heartbreaking
Zhao Yan's carriage stopped on the side of the road, which was one street away from the Jinyang Palace.
Zhao Yan told Xi Yu to go.
After a while, Xiyu came back and replied: "Girl, the little prince has not come back to the court." β
"Wait here for a moment." Zhao Yan leaned against the window, took a book and flipped through it.
Here, it is the only way for Zhou Yu to return to Jinyang Palace.
Zhao Yan flipped through it casually, and she only recognized part of the words in the book.
The words she recognizes are still taught to her by her younger brother who found an opportunity to teach her in the past, and it is enough to calculate the accounts on weekdays, but she can't understand these books given by Zhou Yu at all.
The children of the Huai'an Hou Mansion, whether they are concubines or concubines, only she has not studied.
She leaned against the window, thinking about what Jiang Qingrou had done to her in the past, and didn't understand why Jiang Qingrou hated her so deeply.
Perhaps, there is something behind this?
"Girl, the little prince's carriage is back."
Leaf Wind's voice interrupted Zhao Yan's thoughts.
Zhao Yan looked at the window and saw the familiar carriage stop opposite her, and the window curtain was lifted, revealing Zhou Yu's noble and innocent face.
Zhao Yan bent her eyes and smiled.
Zhou Yu's eyes fell on her beautiful little face, inch by inch, deep and intense.
Between the two, across the carriage, they just looked at each other, but they still gave birth to an indescribable entanglement.
"Little prince, the girl ordered it to you."
Xi Yu stepped forward and handed over the golden ticket.
Zhou Yu lowered his eyes, glanced at her, and said indifferently: "Qu Xiao." β
Qu Xiao stretched out his hand and took the golden ticket.
Zhao Yan raised her hand to put the gauze curtain.
"You're going to Zhuangzi?" Zhou Yu suddenly spoke.
Zhao Yan paused and replied with a smile: "Yes, what's wrong?" β
"Shall I go with you?" Zhou Yu clenched his fingertips, rarely nervous.
Zhao Yan smiled lightly: "Didn't the little prince forget the agreement between us?" β
She said, closed the curtain, and neatly ordered, "Go." β
At the beginning, she and Zhou Yu agreed when they were together, the two would only meet in private, not interfere with each other's lives, and both parties could propose to separate at any time.
Zhao Yan has only one purpose - not to owe each other.
Zhou Yu's eyes were deep, and she watched her carriage gradually move away.
"Tsk, what a heartlessness!"
Inside the carriage, Li Luduan's laughing voice sounded.
Zhou Yu lowered the curtain and ignored him.
"What is your agreement?" Li Luduan smiled and bumped him on the shoulder.
Zhou Yu pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Let's hear it." Li Luduan lifted one foot and supported his cheek with his elbow on his knee: "I can also give you an analysis." β
"Not necessarily." Zhou Yu lowered his eyes and refused indifferently.
Li Luduan leaned against the wall of the carriage, shook his legs, and gave him an idea: "Otherwise, you will tell her the truth."
You have been looking for her for so many years, and you have tried your best to take care of her in the past three years, and I don't know how much you have done for her, as long as her heart is not iron, she will be moved, right? β
Zhou Yu lowered his eyes, and his long straight eyelashes covered him, covering the emotions under his eyes, and he was silent for a long time.
"Huh? Yuan Sheng. Li Luduan suddenly thought of something, and stepped forward, with a teasing smile in her peach blossom eyes: "Aren't you afraid that after you say it, you won't even have a chance to guard her like this?" β
"If you're too idle, go and go through the test questions sent from all over the place again." Zhou Yu glanced at him coldly.
"Tsk, I can't think of it!" Li Luduan ignored him, and instead laughed.
He found something big and amazing: "You said that let the people outside know that our little prince, who is dignified and does not eat fireworks in the world, also has such a cautious side, will it shock all of them?" β
"It's time to check and summarize the performance of DPRK and Chinese officials this year." Zhou Yu said lightly: "This matter will be left to you." β
"Can I do this job?" Li Luduan stood up excitedly when he heard this, accidentally hit his head, covered the top of his head and complained: "You are right by me, you are annoyed and angry!"
Yuan Sheng, the communiquΓ© has a personal vendetta! β
Summing up the political achievements, it can be said that it is closely related to the promotion and promotion of the official positions of those civil officials, and the increase or decrease of their salaries.
With his shallow qualifications, to do that, I'm afraid he will be manipulated by those old foxes.
Zhou Yu ignored him, just sat upright, and did not move.

"Girl."
Zhuang Tou Shengfa and his wife Zhang greeted the outside of the fence courtyard early, and saw Zhao Yan with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Fa, auntie."
Zhao Yan stepped on the small pestle and got out of the carriage and greeted them with a smile.
"Girl, slow down." Zhang stepped forward.
"It smells so good."
Zhao Yan sniffed her nose.
Zhang laughed: "The young master heard that the girl was coming today, so he urged us early in the morning, saying that it was a dumpling and that he wanted to eat it with the girl." β
As he spoke, several people had already entered the courtyard.
"Sister."
Zhao Peiyuan sat on the chair and called.
Although the young man looked a little thin, his complexion was good, especially in the pair of apricot eyes similar to Zhao Yan, there was light.
"Fu Xuan has a heart." Zhao Yan entered the door with a smile and sat down on the chair beside him: "Go, take those books down." β
"Sister brought me books again?" Zhao Peiyuan looked at her.
"Hmm." Zhao Yan bowed her head: "Take a look, what other books do you need, wait for the next list to give me, and I'll bring it to you next time." β
"It's time to tell my sister to break the bank." Zhao Peiyuan looked at the maidservants and brought in the books one by one.
Zhao Yan laughed: "What are you talking about?" The things left by my mother belong to the two of us. β
"My mother's dowry should have been my sister's." Zhao Peiyuan took a book, and the green tendons on the back of his hand loomed: "The things in the Huai'an Hou Mansion are mine." β
"Don't worry, you take care of your legs first, and my sister will accompany you back then." Zhao Yan glanced at him lightly: "It's yours, there won't be less." β
"Hmm." Zhao Peiyuan nodded and opened the book.
Zhang came in with a bamboo plaque and said with a smile: "This is the beginning of making dumplings, the young master girl will wait for a while, and you will be able to eat it." β
"Let's bring it over and wrap it together." Zhao Yan greeted.
Zhang responded.
Zhao Yan and Zhang's wrapped dumplings, and Zhao Peiyuan was reading a book on the side.
When I was young, I lived in fear, and my sister and brother were not lively and talked little.
But even if they don't speak, they sit together silently, and there is a kind of warmth between the two of them, as well as the unguarded closeness that only relatives have.
"I heard that the girl is coming, and the young master has laughed several times today." Zhang smiled and spoke.
"Why don't you move back into the city?" Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Peiyuan.
"I'll go back when my leg is healed." Zhao Peiyuan raised his eyes from the book: "The book that my sister brought, was it borrowed?" β
"Hmm." Zhao Yan nodded: "If you don't like it, buy a new one next time." β
"I like it." Zhao Peiyuan said: "There are a lot of annotations on it, and the subject matter is very detailed, which can solve doubts."
Whose book is this? β
He thought, this man must be very good at reading.
"A friend." Zhao Yan didn't elaborate.
Zhao Peiyuan watched her skillfully wrap one dumpling after another, and called softly for a while: "Sister." β
"Huh?" Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
"You and leave." Zhao Peiyuan said softly.
He had wanted to say this for a long time.
He didn't want his sister to be wronged in the Fuguo Mansion for revenge.
Zhao Yan shook her hand: "You don't have to worry about me, I'm sure." β
"I can take revenge myself later." Zhao Peiyuan clenched the book in his hand.
"My mother is not your mother's mother." Zhao Yan stared at the movements in her hands, and her tone was steady: "I have to find back the sins I have suffered." β
Zhao Peiyuan lowered his head and was silent.
"The Imperial Doctor's side is ready to take care of it." Zhao Yan said: "Which day is convenient for you?" I'll ask someone to come over. β
"Sister, I can do it any day." Zhao Peiyuan never looked up.
"Okay." Zhao Yan put down the dumplings in her hand: "It's almost over, let the kitchen boil water." β
At noon, the two sisters and brothers ate a meal of dumplings together.
"Sister, eat more." Zhao Peiyuan's eyes were slightly red, and he gave Zhao Yan dumplings.
Zhao Yan pursed her lips and smiled.
Many years ago, the little Zhao Peiyuan hid the dumplings in his arms and secretly went to eat them for her, but they were all crushed, and the dumpling filling was stained on his underwear, and he kept crying.
Zhao Yan thought that his clothes were dirty, and she was afraid of being punished by Jiang Qingrou, so she asked him to take it off, and she helped him clean it.
But he shook his head, crying and disgusted that he was useless, and he couldn't even bring a whole dumpling to his sister to eat.
Zhao Yan took a bite of the white and fat dumplings, chewed them slowly, and said with a smile: "Fu Xuan doesn't have to be sad, we have all grown up, and the current situation is better than before, I don't know how many times."
You take care of your injuries, and when it is solved over there, I will take you back to Huai'an Hou's Mansion. β
The Fuguo Mansion is dead, and it is the turn of the Huai'an Hou Mansion.
"Hmm." Zhao Peiyuan nodded.
When Zhao Yan was leaving, Zhao Peiyuan pulled her sleeve, looked up and asked her, "Sister, do you still have such annotated books from your friend?" β
