As the first happy event after the end of the state funeral, Beijing was lively for two or three days because of the official engagement between the princess and the sixth prince, and then the popularity dropped and was distracted by other things.

In the middle of September, Yu Zhen's palace was quietly completed, he took one last look at the palace, and then moved from the prince's house to the new palace, and now the palace, with the death of the queen, seems to be no longer his home.

From now on, he can only take his own palace as his home like the second prince, unless he participates in the family banquet, or goes to greet the queen mother, and at other times, there is no reason to enter the harem again.

Originally, if the queen was still there, after the completion of the new palace, the big wedding would be put on the agenda, but now, his marriage has become by Emperor Xie Guifei to supervise the implementation of the follow-up procedures by the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, Emperor Yuan An can also come forward to urge the Ministry of Rites to set the date of the wedding, but unfortunately, Yu Zhen's status in Emperor Yuan An's mind is not prominent, and Emperor Yuan An can personally set the family affairs, In the eyes of their brothers, it is completely an honor that cannot be replicated.

Then before the wedding, there will be no mistress in the huge palace, not even concubines, only a few grandmothers and maidservants allocated by the palace, and necessary slaves and guards.

After experiencing the excitement of last night's housewarming banquet, only one owner of Yu Zhen was left in the mansion today, drinking alone in the palace garden, and only Zheng Companion, who had followed him since childhood, was accompanied by his chamberlain.

"Stop standing, have a drink with me!" Zhen Zhen commanded.

"Huh!" Zheng Nei's attendant obediently went around to the position of Yu Zhen's head and sat down emptyly, and couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, the status of the slave and maid is low, I'm afraid that I can't accompany Your Highness, in the palace, is it time to promote one or two concubines?" ”

Zhen Zhen watched him refill the empty cup with wine, picked it up, and took a sip.

Before the prince marries the main concubine, he can't marry the side concubine first, but there is no restriction on raising a few eye-catching maids as concubines, or carrying a woman from a good family who is not high outside into the palace as a concubine, his previous brothers are all doing this, and without a hostess, the head of the concubine can even temporarily serve as the master of the backyard.

After many years of companionship, Zheng Neishou didn't have to wait for Yu Zhen to speak, he knew that he had no intention of taking a concubine at all, and even resisted this matter, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He didn't know how to explain Yu Zhen, so he could only persuade dryly: "Your Highness, can you drink less?" ”

Yu Zhen turned a deaf ear, and was about to have another drink, when the door outside suddenly trotted over, and saw the two Yu Zhen in the pavilion from a distance, and hurriedly reported loudly: "Master! Her Royal Highness Princess Zhiling has visited! ”

Yu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and ordered to the doorman: "Welcome her in." ”

Menzi left in response, and Zheng Nei stood up and said happily: "The slave and maid will go to greet Her Royal Highness the princess for the master!" ”

Yu Zhen looked at the wine and food in front of him, frowned and ordered: "Hurry up and remove all these first, and change some refreshments." ”

Zheng Neishou promised to exit the pavilion, and hurriedly called the two little girls and ordered them to do what Yu Zhen asked, and he rushed to the front yard to meet Princess Zhiling.

After a while, Yu Zhen was still rinsing her mouth with tea, trying her best to get rid of the smell of wine, and Princess Zhiling came quickly, appeared in the pavilion, and called out with a little concern: "Fourth brother!" ”

"Sit down! What are you doing here? Yu Zhen pushed the dim sum that the maid had just brought to the opposite side.

Princess Zhiling sat down opposite him and pouted, "There was originally Sister Xuechen's music and rhythm class this afternoon, but she actually asked for leave, so boring!" I thought again, fourth brother, that you had moved into the new palace, so I also asked for leave and came over to have a look. ”

Zhen Zhen paused, but did not speak.

Princess Zhiling smelled the wine and couldn't help frowning: "Fourth brother, did you drink in the daytime?" ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Yu Zhen coughed lightly: "No, I just drank a cup at lunch to warm my stomach." ”

Princess Zhiling asked carefully: "Fourth brother, Sister Xuechen is engaged to the sixth brother, you are not borrowing wine to drown your sorrows, right?" ”

Zhen Zhen shook his head: "How come?" Your sixth brother is also engaged, which is obviously a happy event. ”

Princess Zhiling felt that he didn't look like he was insincere, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I really didn't expect that the sixth brother could still say that he would move his father to propose marriage for him, and Sister Xuechen can finally be my sister-in-law!" That's nice! ”

"It's just surprising, I didn't expect Sister Xuechen to marry the sixth brother, she originally told me that she would do things in Jinghuayuan for a few more years before considering marriage, it seems that my father is really invincible!"

Yu Zhen waited for her to finish sighing, and then asked in a loud voice: "You came to look for me, is there anything else?" ”

Princess Zhiling said eagerly: "Yes! I've recently finally learned the kind of sketching portrait that Xuechen's sister taught! Fourth brother, I don't want to paint others, I just want to draw you, can you be a model for me for a while? ”

Yu Zhen was puzzled: "Why don't you paint your mother?" ”

Princess Zhiling sneered: "My current painting skills are not good enough, but I don't dare to paint my mother directly." ”

So you're using me to practice first? Yu Zhen was speechless, but fortunately, he didn't care, and he wouldn't care about whether Zhiling might paint him ugly, or waste his time, so he agreed.

Princess Zhiling had already prepared all the tools for painting, and when she heard that Zhen Zhen agreed, she was very happy, and she refused to wait for a moment to set up a position, and immediately painted, and by the way, she could chat with Zhen Zhen.

Yu Zhen is usually very quiet, if he is stuck in thinking, or is reading a book or playing chess, he can stay motionless for a long time, which is one of the reasons why she chose Yu Zhen as a model.

"Miss Fu is teaching you the rhythm?" Yu Zhen chatted casually.

Princess Zhiling nodded: "That's right!" Fourth brother, you don't know, Sister Xuechen taught us a lot of beautiful tunes. ”

"Did you sing the same song on the edge of the West Lake during your southern tour?" Zhen Zhen asked again.

Princess Zhiling smiled: "Yes! It's not just this song, there are others, but some can't be sung outside. ”

"Can you sing a song for me?" Yu Zhen immediately promised: "I will never reveal it." ”

Princess Zhiling thought for a while and said, "Then I'll sing you "Daughter's Love"!" It is the tune that Sister Xuechen gave to the king of the daughter country in the book "Journey to the West", and when Sister Xuechen played it with the guzheng, it was beautiful! ”

"Mandarin ducks and amphibious butterflies fly together, and the spring color in the garden is intoxic......ating," Princess Zhiling cleared her throat and sang.

The beautiful melody came into his ears, Yu Zhen was stupid, knowing that he shouldn't, but he couldn't help but think, I don't know if that girl will play the guzheng affectionately in front of someone at a certain moment, and sing this song softly?

……

In the zoo, Fu Xuechen didn't sing any tunes, she was standing in the bear park at the moment, chased by two pandas, laughing very happily, and teasing them with bamboo shoots and apples from time to time.

In the previous life, this thing was a precious national treasure, in addition to the breeders and veterinarians who could get close to them, the others were all big people or big stars, and other people, even if they were very rich and powerful, could only watch them from a distance outside the fence, and they could contact the identity of the panda, Fu Xuechen did not occupy it, and was also a member of the audience.

She doesn't know what the panda's hair feels like to the touch, whether the panda's ears are a ball of hair, and she doesn't know how heavy the panda is when she holds it, whether she can hold it, and now, she has the most direct experience.

In fact, when this pair of pandas was just sent to the Treasure Zoo, Fu Xuechen came to see it, but at that time, the pandas were put into the Bear Park as a fierce beast like a "bear", carrying the reputation of the Iron Eating Beast of Chiyou's mount, and the attendants who were in charge of taking care of them did not dare to let these nobles get close to the beasts easily, so she did not have the opportunity to get close to them.

Today is different, Yu Zuo is a guarantor and personally brought her into the bear park.

It is also because Yu Zuo is favored by Emperor Yuan'an, although he does not have the identity of the prince, his status in the minds of the chamberlains is higher than that of other princes, plus after a long time of breeding, they also basically figured out the habits of pandas, and felt that they would not hurt people easily, so they dared to let Yu Zuo and Fu Xuechen enter the bear park.

The two pandas are not very old, they are still cubs, Fu Xuechen is not afraid of them at all, first let them gradually become familiar with their own smell, and then take their favorite food and feed it for a long time, before they are chased and followed.

Yu Zuo was guarding her tightly, and the attendants in charge of the bear park were even more nervously waiting nearby, but in fact, through the coarse linen protective clothing, the panda couldn't even scratch the corners of Fu Xuechen's skirt.

Yu Zuo reached out again and grabbed the back of the neck of the panda that was clinging to Fu Xuechen's leg, tore it off Fu Xuechen's leg, and threw it aside, but the other stepped forward and hugged Fu Xuechen's other leg.

Yu Zuo was speechless: "No wonder you call this black and white bear a panda, they look like a bear, but in fact they are very similar to the cat's temperament, refusing to give birth to people, barking, clingy, and vegetarian, it's really ...... If you like them so much, then in the future, we will also keep two good in captivity! ”

"Hmm!" Fu Xuechen looked at him with a smile, watching him catch a bear with one hand, one with one hand, lifting weights as easily as catching a cat, and finally had an intuitive feeling of his innate divine power. That's why the panda was tamed as a mount.

After enough of the addiction to the panda, Fu Xuechen finally stopped, took off his protective clothing, and left the bear park with Yu Zuo.

"Is your mother feeling better?" Walking on the boulevard, Fu Xuechen asked with concern.

After the engagement, she followed her mother Xie into the palace to meet Emperor Xie again, that meeting, Emperor Xie Guifei looked a little forced and laughing, and then I heard that she fell ill with a cold.

"It's still like that, although I don't have a fever, but I'm sad and listless." When Yu Zuo mentioned the sick mother, his expression was quite helpless, and his interest dissipated a lot.

"Could it be a heart disease?" Fu Xuechen hesitated a little: "She originally wanted me to marry your fourth brother, but you bypassed her, found your father and went directly to propose marriage to my parents." ”

Yu Zuo shook his head: "The imperial doctor didn't say that, don't think about it!" ”

Fu Xuechen remembered a series of abnormal operations of Concubine Xie Guifei's plan to comply with the last wish of the former empress to match herself and Yu Zhen, and reminded: "If you are not so strong and let your father propose marriage for you, maybe your mother will not be sick!" ”

Yu Zuo said seriously: "There is no if! I don't have you to marry! If my mother doesn't agree, I'll find a way to find my father, if my father doesn't want to help, I can also go to the emperor's grandmother, if my mother is sick for this, there is no way, she is destined to be sick, let's just take care of the illness, don't take responsibility for yourself. ”

"That's the ......" Fu Xuechen was very moved, but still told Yu Zuo about Yu Zhen's vague reminder.

After listening to her explanation, Yu Zuo couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, falling into deep thought.

Thank you for your support!
