Yijuan cloud

Chapter 83 Hu Meizi

Perhaps in order to welcome the prince back to the palace, there are ram-horn wind lanterns starting from the gate and going in. The light and shadow are shining like a winding dragon, and it is very warm and festive against the night.

Everyone cheered and crowded around to welcome Prince Yi to the door.

I followed him, and after passing through the hanging flower door, Wen Jin walked a few steps, gently supported me, and said with a smile: "It's been a tiring journey, Miss Lin, I will take you back to the house to change clothes first."

Prince Yi stopped and said in a natural tone: "Cirrus, after you change your clothes, we can have a meal together. There is no need to rush. Let's get familiar with your yard first."

I didn't expect him to say such things in front of everyone, and also call my name very intimately, I felt my breath tighten, it was extremely embarrassing.

From the corner of his eye, he saw a crowd of slaves, boys, and maids lowering their eyes as usual. For a moment, it was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard. Even Wen Jin beside him said nothing, holding his breath and concentrating.

My cheeks were burning, and I glared at Prince Yi. He put his hands behind his back and said as if nothing had happened: "It's cold, please go back to the house quickly. Miss Lin is a distinguished guest in the house, so don't wait any longer."

Wen Jin hurriedly responded "Yes".

The two maids held lanterns, and I followed Wen Jin to my yard, and soon reached a secluded place.

I held Wen Jin's hand and said softly: "Can you please come with me this time?"

Wen Jin smiled and said: "Miss Juanyun must never say such words again. You are a distinguished guest in the house, and these are the duties of the servants."

I hurriedly said: "Just call me Juan Yun. We were like sisters in the past, but we should not be separated from each other in the future."

She slowed down a little, then turned to hold my arm, but whispered: "Juanyun, we are so happy to see you and the prince come back safely, but after all, your identity has changed now, You are the prince's savior, and the prince has redeemed your life for you. With the prince watching over you, we slaves should naturally respect you. We will never break the rules in front of others, but we have played well before, in private If you dare not hold back, I will be bold enough to call you by your name."

I was a little embarrassed at first, but after hearing what she said, I felt much more relaxed and smiled at her.

Wen Jin smiled again and said: "Duo'er... no, Juan Yun, you see, I was used to calling you Juan Yun, and I can't change it for a while. However, I think the name Juan Yun is more suitable for you. When the prince sent someone back to tell you, , I found it pleasing to my ears as soon as I heard it.”

She looked at me with a smile: "Do you know where you live? It's Lanyun Palace. It's a coincidence. Your name is in it. It seems like it's suitable for you to live there. The previous owner used it as a residence. This is the residence of the female family members, but the prince went to his post alone. Although the yard has been tidied up long ago, it is still empty. This time the prince asked to find a place for you, which happened to be useful. But this was the message from the day before yesterday. We are rushing day and night. After all, it was too hasty to arrange the arrangements, so we have to add more slowly."

I glanced at Wen Jin out of the corner of my eye. In the dim light, she had a calm smile, and her beautiful face was very friendly. I couldn't help but admire her intelligence in my heart.

I suspected that the prince was going to go for a stroll in the market that day. He got up earlier than usual, and she caught the cold. So I had to go to the front to serve by myself. Later, when I came back, I didn't see that she was feeling unwell. She must have felt something bad. What, that’s why I took a leave of absence intentionally.

At that time, she didn’t know that Prince Yi and I were old acquaintances. I only thought that Prince Yi thought that I had saved his life, not him. But in the eyes of others, it was different, so Prince Yi treated me If it was slightly different, she would definitely know it.

I just don’t know what she thinks now that she knows that Prince Yi and I had a life-saving grace.
Now it seems that she has guessed a thing or two, otherwise she would not have specifically mentioned "the residence of the female family members".

She was asking for directions and getting closer, so I didn't make any excuses. I just said warmly: "I've never noticed it before, but no matter what's inside, I just like the name. Not to mention your care, I believe it will be good."

A cluster of green bamboos revealed a corner of the house. The two servants who had been waiting outside the door for a long time saw us passing by and hurriedly came over to greet us. They called out repeatedly: "I have been looking forward to Miss Lin's arrival for a long time, and finally she is here."

Wen Jin said in a deep voice: "Miss Lin is coming back soon, so don't make any noise."

I smiled at the two maids, nodded lightly, and walked straight in.

In front of us are three houses, one bright and two dark, and two wing rooms. Under the eaves are two large cloisonné jars containing pomegranate trees, which are already full of fruit. There is actually a pool of clear water brought in from outside, reflecting the ripples of the lanterns under the eaves. Ripples of light.

Wen Jin said: "It's getting dark, otherwise I would take the girl to the backyard to have a look. There is also a swing frame inside."

I said "yes" softly and continued to walk into the main room. There was a charcoal pot in the room, which was already warm.

Then I saw at a glance that there was a pen and inkstone on the pear blossom table under the window, and next to it was a bookshelf filled with books from top to bottom, so I couldn't help but walk over.

"I knew you loved reading, so I brought these from somewhere else. It's true."

As Wen Jin spoke, he came over to take off my wind cloak and sash belt with familiarity. I hurriedly said, "I'll take it off myself."

Wen Jin smiled gently: "Let me help the girl."

I glanced at the two little maids who were busy preparing toiletries in the room, and had no choice but to follow Wen Jin.

"I've prepared hot water, girl, do you want to take a bath now?" I haven't had a bath since I was kidnapped by the Mongolian soldiers. After hearing this, I was happy and hurriedly smiled and said: "That's fine."

After bathing and changing clothes, Wen Jin and the two little maids each carried a piece of leather clothing.

"The prince ordered some large woolen clothes to be prepared for the girl, but he couldn't cut them out for the time being, so he had to go to the shop in the city to buy ready-made clothes. Although they are from the shop, they look very good to me. Look, girl, wait a minute What should I wear when I go out to dinner?"

I looked over and saw a silver fox-style cloak with scarlet satin, a honey-colored satin and bird-gold cloak, and an azure and flowered lynx leather crane cloak. The fur was bright, shining in the candlelight of the room.

It's just October in the north and it's already extremely cold. I've lived in the south since I was a child, and I find it even more unbearable. How could I not like these things now, so I took the crane cloak and said briskly: "Just entered In winter, this lynx fur one is fine, and the other two should be worn for colder weather."

Dinner was served in Prince Yi's dining room. I sat beside Prince Yi and bowed my head.

Wen Jin prepared the dishes for him, and a little maid from his room served me.

The meal was very sumptuous. Prince Yi held up a cup of light wine and said, "It's been a tough day outside, so even though it's just a light meal, we don't have to be polite. Just keep eating."

I also held up the wine glass and said, "Thank you very much for your hospitality, Your Majesty. I'll take my invitation now."

After clearing the dining table, the maids served tea, and Prince Yi said, "It's been a long day of traveling and traveling, and I'm tired. You all can go down."

Wen Jin responded and waved his hand to order the people serving tea in the Nuan Pavilion to leave.

I was ready to leave with the crowd, but I heard Prince Yi say, "Wait a minute." I was not allowed to sit back by the case again.

Prince Yi said: "Do you like that yard?"

I looked outside the curtain not far away and said softly: "There are bookshelves inside the house, green bamboo outside. You can take a bath as soon as you come back. There is also such good leather to keep out the cold. There is nothing better than this."

He smiled: "You are quite satisfied."

I picked up the tea, put it to my mouth, lowered my eyes and said, "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just a comparison of my past and today."

He first stared at me with his eyes. After listening to my emotional words, he took a sip of tea and said with a thoughtful expression, "Yes, putting it this way, it makes people feel that the future is promising."

I put down the teacup, stood up and said, "It's getting late. You should rest early. I'm very tired too."

He also stood up, took a few steps towards me, and whispered: "You look so beautiful today. I have never seen anyone look so pretty in cool colors."

I immediately blushed with embarrassment, wrapped myself in a crane cloak, turned around and walked out.

It was only during the day that I discovered that there were several mallard ducks in the clear water in the courtyard. They looked stupid and stupid, and they were very cute.

I had nothing to do and followed them to watch. I didn't expect them to get out of the gap where the water was diverted from the wall in the backyard.

I couldn't help but wonder where the water outside the yard led to, so I walked out.

I was walking along the clear stream, and when I passed a rockery, I heard someone talking. After listening carefully, I recognized that it was Yingjiao who used to live with me.

Her voice just got louder again, so I could hear clearly. She didn't know who she was talking to, and she snorted coldly: "She looks so seductive. No wonder she can charm the prince so much that he can't find Bei. I didn't hear it before." When she was a savior, I just saw that the prince was kind to her, otherwise why would I be kidnapped together with the prince? Huh! What kind of distinguished guests do you think everyone else is a fool..."

Another voice said: "Please keep your voice down. The prince sent people to Yangzhou to check. Duo'er saved the prince's life. This cannot be false."

This is the voice of Linghua.

"You still can't see her true face. She is just relying on her good birth. After all, she is not a coquettish girl. The princess was on guard against her at first, but she didn't expect to let her succeed! Just wait and see, let's The princess will not follow her wishes easily, she will definitely send someone to investigate..."

I stood quietly for a while, then turned around to go back. When I turned around, I saw someone standing behind me.

"Your Majesty." I was shocked and lost my voice.

Prince Yi was wearing a crow-green cloak and his face was gloomy. The maid who had been following me was kneeling on the ground tremblingly.
