Jade color and fragrance

Chapter 18 Courtesy of Prince Gong's Mansion

Nanny Zhu who was in front of the old princess was already waiting at the gate of the mansion.

The servants put a low stool in front of the carriage, and the servants stepped forward to help the girls get off the carriage.

"Hello girls, this old slave's surname is Zhu, you two can call me Nanny Zhu. Miss Yan, who is this?"

"Hello, Mammy, this is my cousin Bai Zhen, and she is here with me to visit your mother today."

"It seems that this one belongs to Aunt Bai's natal family. Okay, please get on the sedan chair."

The two got into the soft sedan chair. It was the first time for Bai Zhen to make a soft sedan chair, and it was the first time he knew that after entering the palace, there was still such a long way to reach the main hall.

After all, Yan Yu is someone who has been to the palace many times, so her expression is much calmer in comparison.

All the way forward, the palace courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, with staggered pavilions, exquisite workmanship, and the scenery is deep and beautiful.

Bai Zhen was very interested in watching it, and couldn't help sighing: "Cousin, look quickly, that glazed tile is really beautiful, it's transparent, and the sun shines on it, and it still glows with color."

After a while: "Yu'er, look quickly, is that a glass window?"

It wasn't until I heard the little girl who was following me laugh out loud, that I restrained myself a little.

"It made the girl laugh. The palace is really magnificent and full of flowers. It's the first time I saw it, and I was dazzled."

At this time, Madam Zhu said: "The little girl is rude, please forgive me. I heard that you are Aunt Bai's niece, so you are naturally a distinguished guest of the palace, and I hope you will come to visit us often in the future. Our prince always goes out, ma'am , I am looking forward to having an interesting girl like you as my companion!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhen felt at ease.

However, in order to avoid the empress waiting too long, the servants still quickened their pace.

As the emperor's most beloved nephew, Prince Gong's mansion naturally occupies a vast area. After a quarter of an hour, all the people arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

The old concubine was sitting upright in the hall, with a white Persian cat lying on her lap. Its whole body was as soft and shiny as silk. The cat was lazily enjoying the grooming of the empress.Seeing a few people coming in, Zha Maodi jumped down with a "meow".Then as soon as he turned around, he paced towards them with his buttocks and lay down beside the ice axe.

"Is this being despised?" Bai really wanted to go up and pinch it.

Yan Yu pushed her lightly, and both of them saluted together: "The servant girl (citizen girl) pays her respects to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

"Good boy. Get up."

"I want to report to you, Madam, this is Bai Zhen, the courtier's cousin, who came to see you today."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down and saluted solemnly: "My daughter has received a lot of care from you over the years. I was ignorant before and only came to visit now. Please forgive me. My daughter heard that you usually visit the Buddha, so I brought you There is a white jade Guanyin, and I hope to accept it."

Nanny Zhu stepped forward to help Yan Yu up, took the gift box from Lanyue, and presented it to the old concubine.

"Yu'er doesn't need to be so polite, you have a heart. Mo Niang, invite this Guanyin Bodhisattva to worship in the small Buddhist hall."

Everyone sat down one by one, and the little girl served various cakes and sour plum soup.

"Yu'er, Zhener, you have worked hard all the way here. Have a bowl of sour plum soup, it's all chilled, but it has been taken out to cool for a while, it is refreshing, and it won't hurt your body."

"Thank you, Madam!" Seeing that Madam treats people kindly, and her eyes are kind, the two are not restrained anymore.A bowl of sour plum soup soon bottomed out, the taste was sweet and sour, and the ice was cold, and the heat disappeared immediately.

"Use some more pastries. The lotus leaf cake is newly produced in the kitchen. It tastes very fresh."

Each lotus leaf cake is delicately made, round and small, Yan Yu took a piece of cake and enjoyed it in her hand, she was reluctant to eat it.

The empress looked at Yan Yu, and felt that she was a little girl with a really cute heart.

But when Gu Xuanyue came in and saw the same scene, he felt that the girl looked stupid again.

"Mother concubine, aunt."

"You are back."

"Go back to aunt, my third brother and I saw the distinguished guests arrive on the platform at the top of the mountain, so we hurried back." Gu Chen replied.

Yan Yu whispered in Bai Zhen's ear, "Cousin, these two are Prince Gong and the Fourth Prince."

The two went forward to salute, Yan Yu made a special obeisance to King Gong: "My daughter came here today to thank the lord for saving my life, please accept my daughter's bow."

"Don't be too polite."

"Chen'er, this is Miss Yanyu from Duke Yan's Mansion, you should have met her before. This one is Miss Baizhen." The empress introduced to Gu Chen again.

Hearing the surname "Bai", Gu Xuanyue nodded slightly at Bai Zhen.

However, the moment he saw Bai Zhenying's energetic face, Gu Chen's ears were already warm.But to cover up his emotions, it was a piece of cake for a servant who had worked in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for several years, and no one in the room noticed his strangeness.

Half a month ago, Gu Chen was going to work in Jinmen, so he first waited for his colleagues by the roadside in Dongcheng.Sitting in the carriage, he inadvertently looked towards the street, and was immediately attracted.

I saw a girl coming out of the alley next to the restaurant, with sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes, heroic and gallant, with informal gestures.However, the movement of protecting the little milk cat in her arms was cautious.The milk cat may have been hungry for a long time, and was weakly whispering "meow".

I only heard the girl complaining to the woman next to her, feeling sorry for her new shirt, but when the woman suggested to put the kitten in the bamboo basket, she was afraid that the bamboo basket would be too hard, so she couldn't let the kitten feel uncomfortable.

Gu Chen was obsessed with watching, seeing the girl was about to disappear around the corner, originally wanted to catch up, but his colleagues had already arrived, and there was no delay in business, so he reluctantly left.

However, these days, in his spare time, Gu Chen only felt regret in his heart.In the vast sea of ​​people, where would he find a girl, the two may never see each other again.

At this time, the empress said: "Okay, you don't need to be restrained in front of this palace anymore. Yue'er and Chen'er, it's the first time for these two girls to come to the house, so you can take them with you everywhere."

The four of them then went out, originally walking from left to right, they were Gu Chen, Xuan Yue, Yan Yu, and Bai Zhen.

But just as Yan Yu thanked Gu Xuanyue, she had exhausted all her courage.

She still has conflicts with him in her heart, and the words that Yan Fu conveyed in her previous life still ring in her ears.She always felt that she could still see the disdain for her in Xuan Yue's eyes.Therefore, Yan Yu quietly changed positions with Bai Zhen and walked to the far right.

Xuan Yue saw all her little moves, and didn't understand why this little counselor was afraid of him.Therefore, with a "hum", he walked to the far left.Yan Yu was startled by his voice, and walked even slower.

Since the master didn't work, and he had secret thoughts in his heart, Gu Chen took up the job of the master and introduced the scenery everywhere.Seeing Yan Yu trembling, Bai Zhen couldn't help being embarrassed, and he also tried his best to heat up the scene.

As for Xuanyue, he walked ahead with anger all the way.In the middle are Gu Chen and Bai Zhen, with Yan Yu one step behind.

Along the way, Gu Chen talked about house structures, pavilion corners, flowers, small waterfalls, and lotus ponds.Although Yan Yu kept silent, she listened with great interest.She always felt that she had heard this way of speaking before, and she thought about it again, didn't she?That's what my cousin said.But my cousin's literary talent is not so good.

　Doesn't it look like two couples met and pressed the road!

　　How to find out who voted, your vote is very precious to me, thank you!
