Master, stay safe

Chapter 9 Frustrated
The palace servants came to ask me when I was leaving, I looked at the sky outside and said, "After noon."

The palace people left in response.

I sat on the soft couch, supported my chest with one hand, and wandered away.

After a while, Dongtao bowed to me, and said cautiously: "The servant girl is here to clean up the things." After I sent Qiutao away, Dongtao treated me more cautiously, for fear that I would send her away if I was not happy.

But to be honest, I can't trust Dongtao either.

After Zhou Yunyi's incident, I knew that no one around me was completely loyal to me. Maybe they were loyal to me, but they were even more loyal to Brother Huang.

I lazily said: "Clean it up."

"Yes, princess." Dongtao turned around, and just after taking a few steps, there was a flash of silver light, which directly sank into Dongtao's body.Dongtao was immediately frozen, her back motionless.

Immediately, a red shadow came through the window.

I took a closer look.It's Bai Wan.

As soon as I saw her, I remembered what she said last night, and I kept swearing that she was just jealous of me, but in the end it was I who was wrong and she was right.

I said angrily: "What? Are you making fun of me?"

Bai Wan said: "I don't need to laugh at you."

I glanced at her and said: "Then you are here to see how I am trapped by love? If so, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Although I am happy with Master, Master is not everything to me. Although I know the truth, I am a little sad, but I have always had a bad memory. In a few years, I will forget about this emotional injury. It's no big deal. But you, don't you think you are too persistent? Master only has Wan'er in his heart, you are a girl from a girl's family After silently following the master for so many years, the lindens are immortal for ten thousand years, do you want to continue to be persistent? Ten thousand years..." You can taste all the meat in the world.

The corners of Bai Wan's lips were tightly pressed together.

There's no reason, and I don't know if it's because we both like Jun Qingyan, and we were both rejected because of Wan'er.

I looked at her and said again: "Miss Bai, put it down as soon as possible."

Bai Wan pulled the corner of her lower lip and said, "What you said sounds nice, but I know you don't think so in your heart."

I suddenly felt that the old face was a bit unbearable.

Yes, Bai Wan is right.

These high-sounding words are easy to say, but difficult to do.I changed the subject and said, "What do you want to tell me today?"

Bai Wan said, "I don't hate you."

"...Thank you."

She said: "He is looking for Wan'er, and I am also looking for Wan'er."

I suddenly remembered what Zhou Yunyi said a long time ago, he said that Bai Wan was looking for a girl.When I saw Bai Wan before, I forgot about this incident, and I was all over thinking whether Bai Wan was Wan'er or not.

I asked, "What are you doing with her?"

She said: "I want to seize the opportunity before Jun Qingyan finds her. You have Wan'er's aura on you. You must have been in contact with Wan'er before, and you will definitely find Wan'er through you. If you cooperate with me, we will definitely We can find Wan'er before him. When Wan'er turns 25, we make a wish to let Jun Qingyan forget Wan'er from now on. At that time, we will rely on our own strengths, and if anyone loses, we will stop entanglement."

I was dumbfounded.

She asked again: "How?"

"...not good." I frowned and said, "As you said, Master and Wan'er have been together for countless 25 years, and the only person on Master's heart is Wan'er. It’s just an outsider. If you want to find it, you can find it yourself. In short, I will not do such a wicked thing.”

Bai Wan said, "Why do you only have one tendon in your mind?"

I looked at her: "The tendons in your brain are still knotted, and you can't cut them open with a knife."

She said again: "If he forgets Wan'er, your chances of winning are better than mine. Over the years, he only has Wan'er in his eyes, and he treats other girls honestly, and you are the first one to let him have another The girl who sees each other."

I said lightly, "You said it before, I have Wan'er's breath on me."

"No, you are not the only one who has Wan'er's breath in the past 20 years, but you are the only one who is different. As long as you cooperate with me, once he forgets about Wan'er, your chances of winning are better than mine."

Even Bai Wan's repeated lobbying could not change my mind.

I support and look at her.

She asked, "How?"

"Do not."

"You really are a muscle to the end!"

I smiled and said: "I know what you are thinking in your heart. Although I don't live as long as you, I know that my life is at most a hundred years, but you have tens of thousands of hundred years. When I am old Fading, it's easy for you to snatch Jun Qingyan from me. You don't need to say more, I won't promise you."

After Bai Wan left, the Gu worms on Dongtao's body also failed.Looking at the sky outside, she whispered: "Ah, it's almost noon." Then she hurriedly went to pack the clothes.

It seems that Dongtao didn't notice her abnormality.

I feel relieved.

When noon was approaching, Dongtao also packed up the soft stuff.The palace man asked me if I wanted to leave immediately, I was silent for a while, and then said: "Wait a little longer." After that, I walked to the courtyard where Jun Qingyan lived.

I still don't give up.

I still don't believe that in the past so many days, Master has treated me without any trace of sincerity. I don't believe that it is all because of Wan'er, so there is no trace of sincerity that belongs to me.

When I arrived, Jun Qingyan was packing up the things.

He looked a bit surprised when he saw me.

I bit my lip.

Just now, I had clearly planned to ask him straight to the point, but now that I saw Jun Qingyan like this, I was... a bit reluctant, fearing that Jun Qingyan and I would never be able to go back to the way we were before.

But I also know that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

I took a deep breath and asked, "Master, what if you can't find Wan'er for the rest of your life?"

He said, "What happened to you this morning?"

I said: "With Master's memory, you must remember what happened last night. Does Master want to pretend that it never happened?"

Jun Qingyan's complexion changed, and he said: "You were drunk last night, as a teacher, you can..."

I cut him off.

"Master, is he trying to deceive himself? How could you get drunk when you knew that I had only had a few sips of wine last night? Is Master trying to escape? I don't believe that Master doesn't have me in his heart, and I don't believe that everything Master has done to me is because of Wan Er. "Speaking of this, the tears couldn't help but began to roll in the eyes, "Master, you tell Ah Wu the truth, Ah Wu must listen to Master's heart. Master really never liked Ah Wu? It's not because of the master and apprentice, but also Not because of Wan'er, just because I am Ah Wu."

Jun Qingyan's lips moved.

"I need time," he said.

I asked, "What time will it take?"

He fell silent.

I said: "I hope Master will not lie to me and tell Ah Wu the truth."

He said: "Although it is very strange, but you..." He paused, stared at me, and said: "You have Wan'er's breath on you, maybe you are Wan'er."

It's like pouring a pot of cold water from the head. It's early summer, but I'm so cold that my heart is shaking.

It's really ridiculous.

I'm Wan'er?
I sneered and said: "Master may have misidentified the person. I am Rong Wu and not Wan'er. There is no way I am some kind of beautiful woman. I am just an ordinary person. But now I know Master's answer."

In the bottom of Jun Qingyan's heart, he doesn't have the slightest sincerity towards me.

And now you're still uttering such nonsense yourself!

He was taken aback and said, "You know?"

I said: "I know everything, Bai Wan told me everything. The master is so pestering to Wan'er, maybe it looks like a sea of ​​love in the eyes of others, but in Ah Wu's eyes, the master is just letting Wan'er Suffering so much, selfishness to the extreme!"

When I got angry, I couldn't control any angry words, and they all jumped out of my mouth.

Jun Qingyan's complexion turned pale again.

I said again: "I am Rong Wu, not Wan'er, Master, please remember this. Master has lived in the palace for more than a year, and looking for Wan'er has been fruitless. I think Wan'er is no longer in the imperial city. There is no need for Master to go back to Beijing with Awu. Awu will ask the palace servants to pack up the things that Master has in Zhuxiu Pavilion and send them to Fuhua Temple. Awu has a spoiled temper since she was a child, and she is wayward and lawless. Since Master doesn’t really like me , then Ah Wu will forget about Master, and it will be a few years, in order to forget Master, please ask Master not to appear in front of Ah Wu again in the future."

It really makes no sense.

Jun Qingyan can even say that I am Wan'er, let him tell the truth, unexpectedly the truth hurts so much.

The Gu masters in Southern Border, no matter Jun Qingyan or Bai Wan, I don't want to see them both again in this life.

After I return to Beijing, I will take good care of my wounds, and then I will find a sixth son-in-law. At that time, we will be in harmony, our husband and wife will be deeply in love, and I will be so angry... Jun Qingyan will die of anger!

Before I came to Cangcheng, I never thought that so many unexpected things would happen, and now before May comes, I have already returned home.On the way back to Beijing, I didn't bother to let Dongtao pretend to be me, so I boarded the car directly and hurried to the capital.

When I returned to the capital, it was already the first ten days of June, which was the hottest season of the year.

At this time in previous years, I was already wearing a light shirt, holding a round fan, and eating Bingyulu.But now I don’t feel hot in my spring shirt, probably because I’ve been emotionally hurt and my heart is cold.

I escorted Zhou Yunyi to Brother Huang, and told Brother Huang everything.

After the emperor knew that Zhou Yunyi was the real murderer, he jumped up from the dragon seat in shock, and looked at Zhou Yunyi with incredible eyes.

Zhou Yunyi admitted frankly.

"I am ashamed of your Majesty's cultivation. The princess's sons-in-law were all killed by my minister."

Brother Huang's gaze became complicated.

I was afraid that my brother would be soft-hearted towards Zhou Yunyi, so I hurriedly said: "Brother, Zhou Yunyi has committed many crimes in a row, not to mention that two of them are court officials. Comforting the spirits in heaven of the five son-in-laws, it is difficult to make my sister feel at ease!"

Brother Huang looked at Zhou Yunyi.

I have never seen Brother Huang look so hard to make a decision. I think Brother Huang has a lot of trust in Zhou Yunyi. Now that this happened, it is reasonable for Brother Huang to hesitate.

But I know that Brother Huang is a Mingjun, and he will not let me down.

After about a stick of incense, the emperor brother who had been silent for a long time finally said: "Let's deal with it according to the law of Da'an, remember Zhou Yunyi's past achievements, and leave the whole body."

On the day Zhou Yunyi was executed, I got up early.

I went to the prison alone.

Zhou Yunyi, who used to be one of the best in the capital, suffered half a month in the prison, and now he looked rather haggard, with blue eye circles, and his chin was as thin as an awl.

But his eyes were still as calm as water.

I asked him: "Zhou Yunyi, do you regret it?"

He said: "Yun Yi only regrets that he didn't achieve success earlier."

There is no intention of repentance!I said, "What you like is just my identity."

He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if it's the status of a princess or Rong Wu herself, aren't they all princesses?" After a pause, he said again: "Princess can come to see Yun Yi before he dies, Yun Yi is already satisfied .”

I said with a blank expression: "You should go to the Yan Luo Palace and talk to the five sons-in-law of this palace carefully."

Zhou Yunyi said: "Princess, Yun Yi has something to say to you. Can the princess move forward?"

I looked at the cage, and I forgive him for not being able to figure out any new tricks.I moved a few steps slightly, bent down, Zhou Yunyi raised his head, and brought his mouth close to my ear.

His voice is soft.

"Princess, don't hate me."

When Zhou Yunyi was executed, I didn't go to see it, but read idle books in Qingyu Palace.There are several plates of meat and a jug of fruit wine piled up on the table.

Everything seems to be back to before.

There is no son-in-law, no Zhou Yunyi, and no Jun Qingyan, only Princess Mingyu who misses meat every day.

It's a pity that time has passed and the situation has changed, but the state of mind can never go back.

I put down the books.

A palace official came to report: "Princess, Zhou Yunyi is dead. Your Majesty Long En, Xu Zhou's family will collect the body."

I said "hmm" and said, "You step back."

Once Zhou Yunyi dies, everything is over, and I don't need to wake up in the middle of the night always worrying about my Kefu's fate.

As soon as I relax, I get sick that night.

The imperial doctor came to check my pulse and said that I was exhausted physically and mentally, and I was infected with a cold, which is why I fell ill so suddenly.After the emperor's brother heard this, he was furious and scolded the imperial physician for being incompetent.

I coughed heavily a few times, and my face became slightly hot from the cough.

I said: "Brother Huang, it's nothing to do with the imperial physician, it's because too many things have happened recently."

Brother Huang scolded Dongtao again: "How do you take care of the princess? It's just nonsense, the princess's phoenix body is against harmony, how do you all serve the master!"

A palace servant kneeling on the ground in Qingyu Palace.

I didn't plead with the emperor this time, I stretched out my hand from under the brocade quilt and pulled the sleeve of the emperor: "Brother, it's all Awu's fault, Awu didn't take care of her servants, only the Qingyu Palace When things like Qiutao happen, after A Wu recovers from her illness, she will definitely discipline her servants."

What I meant was that after I recovered from my illness, I would clean up in the Qingyu Palace and screen out those who should be kept or not, but this must be approved by the emperor first.

I am currently ill, and the request I made when I was ill, Brother Huang has never refused.

Brother Huang patted my hand and said: "You are taking care of your illness. It will not be too late to discipline the palace servants after they recover from their illness. When things like Qiutao happen, they must be properly disciplined."

With Brother Huang's approval, I have already started to think about how to cultivate my people.Unexpectedly, this illness dragged on for a long time. I thought it would take three to five days to recover. Unexpectedly, it has been half a month. I have not recovered yet, and it is still getting worse.

I was dizzy from the fever, and I had only porridge and water in my stomach for several days, and now I was eating meat even in my dreams, and... thinking about him.

These days, I have been thinking about other things. I thought I could forget Jun Qingyan by doing this. Unexpectedly, the more I wanted to forget, the more I couldn’t forget.

My extremely poor memory is not working well at this time.

I breathed heavily, and murmured: "Master..."

The next moment, I smelled the faint scent of bamboo belonging to Jun Qingyan.I suddenly remembered a sentence I asked Jun Qingyan before.

Nowadays, high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Beijing like to burn incense. All kinds of spices are smoked on their clothes, and the fragrance can be smelled from far away.I am quite disgusted with the incense on the sons of various families, but I only like the fresh bamboo fragrance on Jun Qingyan.At that time, I said in the Zhuxiu Pavilion: "Master, the spices on your body are so special, as if you are carrying a bamboo..."

I asked curiously, "Where did you get the spices?"

Jun Qingyan said: "There are a lot of green bamboos around, and after a long time, the body will be stained with the fragrance of bamboo."

At that time, I always felt that the bamboo fragrance on Master's body was unique. Every time I smelled this fragrance, I knew that Master was coming without opening my eyes.

But now I have a fever, and I even have problems with my sense of smell.

A cold palm touched my forehead, causing me to open my eyes suddenly.

What caught my eyes was Jun Qingyan's face.

I stared at him steadily, always feeling like I was dreaming.

I am dreaming.

How could he appear in Qingyu Palace?

I stretched out my hand to caress his face and said, "Master, Ah Wu must be dreaming."

He said, "Well, you are dreaming."

I frowned and smiled: "That's great."

"Ok?"

I said: "I...dreamed about Master, and I saw you in my dream, so that I can do whatever I want..." After finishing speaking, I pulled his face down, opened my mouth and bit hard on his face. Leaving a sharp tooth mark.

I snorted: "If you make me sad, I will bite you!"

Jun Qingyan couldn't laugh or cry.

Immediately afterwards, I lightly touched his face with my hand, and said, "Master, you have made Ah Wu sad. I am Ah Wu, not Wan'er. You have identified the wrong person, so..."

I pinched it hard and hard, still feeling puzzled, I stretched out my other hand and pinched Jun Qingyan's other cheek, and with both hands, I stretched his face long.

I said: "If Master had looked like this back then, maybe Ah Wu wouldn't like you."

As I said that, my throat was suddenly choked, and I was so weak from coughing that I retracted my hands.Jun Qingyan patted my back and poured me warm tea.

I took a few sips and my throat felt a lot better.

I leaned on Jun Qingyan's shoulder, drooping my eyelids, and said weakly: "Why are you still here? You left with Wan'er when I dreamed of this place before."

Jun Qingyan sighed, "Ming Yu."

I said: "No, you have to call me Ah Wu."

"Ah Wu."

I said "hmm" in satisfaction.

Jun Qingyan said again: "You take good care of yourself, and I will come to see you as a teacher in a few days."

"Master! Ah Wu has a father, a mother, and an elder brother. How could she be a jade person? Ah Wu is afraid of pain. If Ah Wu were a jade person, she would have pain every 25 years. Life would be worse than death... Mouth Dry."

Jun Qingyan offered the tea, and I drank a few more sips.

"It doesn't hurt," he said.

I said: "You are not a beautiful woman, how do you know whether it hurts or not? Master, why do you hate it so much in your dream? I don't want to mention any topics related to Wan'er, can't you do what I want? For example, Awu is the prettiest, as a teacher, there is only Awu at the top of my heart, Waner and Baiwan are all clouds and ants, as a teacher, I never take it to heart, they can't even compare to Awu's hair!"

I couldn't lift my eyelids, couldn't see his expression, only heard his voice was unprecedentedly gentle.

"Ah Wu is the prettiest thing. As a teacher, there is only...Ah Wu at the top of my heart. Wan...Erbai Wan is all floating clouds and ants. As a teacher, I never take it to heart. They can't even match a single hair of Ah Wu. superior!"

I laughed.

Such is the dream.

For several days in a row, I could always dream of Jun Qingyan when I was feeling dizzy from a fever.The master in the dream let me do whatever I wanted, obedient as if he was my disciple.But I know it's just a dream.

If it weren't for a dream, how could I relax so arbitrarily?If you don't know dreams, how can Jun Qingyan follow me around?It's only because it's a dream, so I can be so unscrupulous.

It took another half a month before my illness was completely cured.

On the day of my illness, I never thought that my illness would be in August, and the mildly hot days would start to turn cold.

I certainly haven't forgotten to discipline my servants.

As soon as I recovered from my illness, I thoroughly reorganized the Qingyu Palace. At least half of the palace people in the Qingyu Palace were sent to other palaces for the reason of not being loyal to their duties.

It's not easy to do things with a small number of people, so I called Li Quan, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked him to send me a group of new palace servants.

I want to choose carefully, at least find a servant girl who is only loyal to me.

My resolute actions really frightened many palace officials, the head of the House of Internal Affairs did not dare to neglect, so he quickly found dozens of palace officials for me.They stood neatly and orderly in the courtyard, all of them lowered their eyes slightly, and they all looked downcast and pleasing to the eye.

Li Quan said: "Princess, these are carefully selected by the slaves. Among them, several of them have served the Empress Dowager, and even the Empress Dowager is full of praise."

I glanced casually and said, "No."

"what?"

I said: "Director Li is old, right? He didn't even hear my orders clearly. The palace servants who have served the queen mother are good, but I don't like them. I don't like palace servants who have been used by others. You want newcomers to the palace. Go, call all the newcomers to the palace.”

I figured it out before, but at this time, a group of old palace servants were released from the palace, followed by new palace servants entering the palace.

Palace people have stayed in the palace for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will always be one or two masters behind them.I also don't want to spend time trying to figure out who's behind the scenes. The newcomers to the palace can't be trusted.

After half an hour, Li Quan brought a group of palace people over.

I took a closer look, and although I was a little more nervous and apprehensive compared to the low-browed and pleasing-eyed palace maid just now, it was exactly what I wanted.I said, "You all raise your heads."

I told Li Quan again: "Read all their family backgrounds."

Li Quan responded.

I carefully looked at each palace person.

Suddenly, I noticed a girl standing on the far right, with a round face and round eyes, she looked quite pleasing, and I said, "What's your name?"

The girl said: "Slaves... slaves are called meat balls."

As soon as the words fell, the palace people around couldn't help laughing.The girl named Routuan had flushed cheeks.

I laughed and said, "Why did you name it Routuan?"

Routuan said: "My maidservant's aunt loves meat, and she loves meat, so she named this maidservant Routuan." The appearance and name of this maidservant are quite suitable for my eyes.I said, "Director Li."

Li Quan understood, and immediately presented me with the family background of Routuan.

Rou Tuan is only twenty-eight years old, and his family has been in decline a few years ago. All relatives in the family have long since passed away. In order to make a living, he even learned boxing and kicking kung fu for half a year.

There is no father, mother, brother or brother in the family. Even if someone wants to win over and threaten her in the future, it will be difficult to do so.

I clapped my hands and said: "She stays here." Then I selected a dozen or so palace maids and placed them in every part of the Qingyu Palace, except that I left Routuan as a personal maid, who was a first-class maid along with Dongtao.

I spent a few days training the meatballs myself, and the meatballs really lived up to my expectations. Although there were occasional mistakes, overall they were excellent and quite to my liking.Leaving aside her quick-wittedness, just the good meat she cooks can make me treat me differently. I am used to eating meat from the royal chef, but occasionally I am happy to eat home-cooked food from a small place.

But maybe it's because I miss Jun Qingyan in my heart, I always feel that I have tasted the taste of Jun Qingyan from the meat made by Routuan.

I smirked, because I thought too much.

After a while, I was bored with idleness, so I took a few books and went to the gazebo in the imperial garden. Dongtao set up a beauty couch and presented some delicate and delicious food, and then retreated outside the gazebo .

Yuemo Dongtao also saw how much I valued Routuan, and knew that I angered a lot of people in the Qingyu Palace because of Qiutao. After Routuan came, almost all the big and small things around me were taken care of by Routuan Even Dongtao didn't dare to say no.

I lay on the beauty couch and lazily flipped through a few pages of the book.

Suddenly, a number of palace people hurried past the imperial garden carrying various utensils, looking at the direction they were going, they seemed to be going to Yunlaixuan.I summoned Routuan and said, "Go and ask."

The meatball responded.

After a while, she came back and said, "Princess, Zhao Guo's envoy will arrive soon."

I was slightly startled.

I also have envoys from other countries visiting Da'an on weekdays, but every time I come back, I come to pay my respects a few months in advance.This Zhao Guo came in a hurry. I touched my chin and said, "It's probably not a good thing to come in such a hurry."

but……

I remembered the small porcelain bottle that Jun Qingyan gave me before, the word "Tai" on the bottom was the year name of Emperor Zhao Guojing Tai.Zhao Guo has never had any contact with me, Da'an, and I don't know what kind of plan they are planning when they come here this time.

I put down the book and said, "I don't want to read it, I'm going to the imperial study. Prepare your sedan chair."

I asked my brother about it.

Hearing this, the emperor laughed and said, "Zhao is just a small country, so what bad idea can I have? It is not a bad thing for the two countries to be friends, so let Zhao take a look at the peace and prosperity of our Da'an. In a few days, the envoy of Zhao will arrive. As you The princess of our country will also attend, so don’t cause trouble.”

I muttered: "Ah Wu is not young anymore, she is almost 23, why does the emperor always say that I cause trouble?"

Brother Huang laughed, his eyes darkened slightly.He said: "When I gave you the title back then, you had just reached my thigh. Now my Ah Wu is almost 23, and will be 25 in two years."

Thinking of the past, I couldn't help laughing and said: "The mother in the palace also told Awu that at the beginning Sima Taifu proposed several titles, but the emperor vetoed them one by one, and finally took Awu's title himself, what is peace and peace? Yes, it’s better to hear Mingyu from Brother Huang.”

Brother Huang patted the back of my hand and said: "Naturally, my Awu is a jade-like person, only the title of Mingyu can match you." After a pause, Brother Huang said again: "These few days Prepare well, Princess Chengyue of Zhao Kingdom will also come here, I heard that Princess Chengyue is about the same age as you, so treat her well when the time comes."

On the day when Zhao Guo's envoy came over, the sun was quite good, but unfortunately I got up a little late and delayed the time.Both Routuan and Dongtao were in a hurry, they changed my clothes and washed me in a hurry.

I comforted them: "Don't worry, even if the emperor's brother blames me, I will take care of it, and it will kill your lives. Take your time, alas, Routuan, don't be nervous, just look at you. The skirts are all reversed. Dongtao and you too, you have served Bengong for so long, you haven’t seen any big scenes, it’s a little late, don’t put that heavy golden hairpin on Bengong’s head, it’s heavy! "

They tossed for a while, and we finished our makeup.

Routuan helped me onto the sedan chair.

When the sedan chair was being carried to the meeting hall, I saw that Routuan was nervous, so I said, "Don't be afraid, Routuan, I'll meet people from a few small countries, there's no need for you to talk, why are you so nervous."

Routuan wiped off his sweat, laughed, and said, "Slave... I know."

When I arrived at the meeting hall, I calculated the time, and it was half an hour late.Fortunately, it didn't take long. According to the experience of receiving envoys from other countries in the past, it should have just passed the time when the two countries are exchanging greetings and singing and dancing.

The servant outside the door was about to announce loudly, I waved him.

I looked around, and although I couldn't see anything, I did hear silk and bamboo string music.I whispered to the servant: "There is no need to inform, I just go in quietly."

I tiptoed in from the apse with Routuan and Dongtao, and walked quietly to my seat.My seat is next to several concubines in the palace, and next to the emperor on the dragon seat is the concubine Qin who is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces.

As soon as I sat down, Brother Huang's dissatisfied gaze came over me. I coughed lightly and grinned at Brother Huang.

Concubine Qin whispered a few words in Brother Huang's ear, but I couldn't hear what they said, but I reckoned that Concubine Qin had said something nice for me, and Brother Huang looked at me with a different look.

I was relieved.

Routuan poured me a glass of fruit wine, and I drank a few sips to calm myself down.At this time, the dancer had finished dancing, and there was applause everywhere.I raised my eyes to look at Zhao Guo's envoy on the opposite side, just at that moment the emperor brother said: "This is my imperial sister, Princess Mingyu."

Hearing my name, I held up my wine, smiled slightly, and the words I had prepared last night flowed out of my mouth: "I have heard that Zhao Guo is outstanding, and now..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

At this time, I noticed a girl in red sitting next to the envoy of Zhao Guo. She was dressed in brocade clothes, her makeup was exquisite, and her red lips were like delicate summer flowers. Although her attire had changed, her face remained the same.

It's... Bai Wan.

Bai Wan looked calm, she looked at me calmly, as if she was seeing me for the first time, she stood up, raised her wine glass, and said: "Chengyue has long heard that Princess Mingyu of your country has a beautiful appearance. , is a rare beauty in Daan, seeing her now, she really lives up to her reputation, and the beauty of a princess is extremely rare in our country of Zhao. Chengyue respects the princess."

I took a look, there was no jug on Bai Wan's seat, she obviously drank tea.

But this also made me more sure that Princess Chengyue is Bai Wan.

I came back to my senses and said: "I just saw Princess Chengyue, and I always feel like I've known him before."

Bai Wan said, "Maybe we met in a dream."

Brother Huang said with a smile: "Mingyu and Chengyue are able to fall in love, it's a good thing."

I pursed the corners of my lips, and kept looking at Bai Wan, who was Princess Chengyue.What is she trying to do?Suddenly there was a meowing sound that brought me back to my thoughts. At this moment, I realized that there was a man in brocade clothes sitting next to Bai Wan. At first glance, his appearance was very ordinary, but his aura was exceptional.

He held a snow-white Persian cat in his arms.

Xu Shi noticed my gaze, and he smiled at me.

My heart tightened.

It's him.

Although Jun Qingyan's disguise has changed, I can still recognize him at a glance.

His eyes were exactly the same as Jun Qingyan's looking at me.

He... what are they trying to do?
After knowing that Bai Wan and Jun Qingyan appeared together, my mind was full of doubts, and I was absent-minded even watching the singing and dancing, and my eyes wandered to Jun Qingyan and Bai Wan from time to time.

To be honest, I thought I would never see Jun Qingyan again in the future, but I didn't expect to meet again on such...a delicate occasion.Especially when I saw him with Bai Wan, I couldn't help feeling a little complicated.

Jun Qingyan teased the Persian cat in his arms without saying a word.

I'm at a loss.

"Princess, Your Majesty is calling you." Dongtao reminded me in my ear.

I just came back to my senses, raised my eyes and said, "Huh?"

Brother Huang said: "Mingyu, you are about the same age as Princess Chengyue, and you hit it off quite well, so you will take everyone from Zhao Kingdom around the palace."

I answered.

After leaving the meeting hall, I couldn't say anything because of the palace people and Zhao Guo's envoys behind me, so I just looked at Bai Wan and Jun Qingyan expressionlessly, and said, "Princess Chengyue is very interested, Qianli I came all the way to Da'an. I don't know why?"

Bai Wan said: "Chengyue has long heard that Da'an is rich and prosperous, and the singing and dancing are peaceful, so she wanted to come and see it. She wanted to come to Da'an before, but unfortunately someone promised to bring Chengyue here, but she broke her promise. Chengyue had no choice but to follow our country. The envoys have come together."

The line between the lines is clearly saying that I broke my promise.

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Is that so? You might as well tell Princess Chengyue that we in Da'an always say what we say, and we will never take back what we have said." Since I said I would not join forces with you to find Wan'er, you I will not help you if you come here rashly.

As I said that, I glanced at Jun Qingyan, pretending to be indifferent.

"Is this also Zhao's envoy?"

Bai Wan replied to me: "It's Cheng Yue's friend."

Jun Qingyan nodded slightly, and said to me: "Cao Min pays homage to Princess Mingyu." He pretended to be, but Jun Qingyan didn't know that I recognized him?I muttered a few times, and suddenly I had a plan in my mind.

I have a big smile.

"Everyone who came from afar, you must have never tasted our Linglong crisps in Da'an. It just so happens that there is a cook in the palace who is especially good at making Linglong crisps. Lai Xuan. As for the other palace members, you should step down, Dong Tao, you should also step down."

"Meat...balls?"

Bai Wan glanced at Routuan.

I raised my eyebrows and said, "What? What does Princess Chengyue think of the names given by the maids of this palace?"

But Bai Wan glanced at Jun Qingyan, then looked away, and said: "I don't have a good opinion, but this name is really rare, it seems that someone..."

Jun Qingyan said, "Caomin's cat is also hungry, so I ask the princess to prepare some cat food."

Said, Jun Qingyan glanced at Bai Wan calmly.

The two seemed to be looking at each other affectionately, I snorted in my heart, turned my head, and couldn't see it.

After arriving at Yunlaixuan, I sat down with all the people from Zhao Guo, and I said to Zhao Guo's envoy: "This is our Da'an's Linglong Crispy. The surface is crispy and thin. It is deep-fried and has a strong fruity flavor. There are various fillings, and each Linglong Cake has a different taste. Come, Messenger Cui, have a taste."

The Zhao Guo envoy tasted one and said, "It tastes really good."

I smiled again and said to Bai Wan and Jun Qingyan: "Princess Chengyue and this young master come and try it too."

As a native of Da'an, I naturally know that most of Linglong crisps are stuffed with meat, and there are even Linglong crisps that have been soaked in wine. Wine and meat are two things that Bai Wan and Jun Qingyan can't touch yes.

Hmph, enter the palace in disguise, and see how I can treat you two, especially Jun Qingyan.

Do you really think that Rong Wu's piercing eyes can't recognize the real face under this skin?
I took one for Bai Wan first, and said: "My palace and Princess Chengyue are also considered to be hits, and Princess Chengyue must taste it carefully. Look at this exquisite puff pastry, thin body and round body. You can tell it's pear stuffing at a glance. .”

I made another meat filling for Jun Qingyan, and said, "My lord, try it too."

Jun Qingyan coughed lightly.

My voice was slightly cold, and I said: "Could it be that the young master dislikes our Da'an's food?" Eat, eat, I want to see how you pretend.

Unexpectedly, the cat in Jun Qingyan's arms opened its mouth and bit Linglongsu.

I told the palace servants: "Where's the cat food?"

The palace people in pink came and reported: "If you go back to the princess, the cat food is ready now." I said to Jun Qingyan: "There is a cat here, and it is inconvenient to eat. The young master gave the cat to us. Palace people. Our palace has also raised many cats, especially... white cats. Of course, we have also raised Persian cats."

"Alright." Jun Qingyan let go of his hand without hesitation.

The Persian cat in his arms was cute, and it didn't make a fuss when being held by a strange palace man, it only meowed softly.After the palace servants left, I asked Routuan to remove the bowl in front of Jun Qingyan and replace it with a new one.

I put another Linglong crisp for Jun Qingyan, and said with a smile on my face, "That one was eaten by the cat just now, son, try this again."

My eyes are burning.

Jun Qingyan looked up at me, and said, "Princess really wants me to eat?"

I said calmly: "This is just an ordinary food, and it is not poisonous. The young master's appearance seems to be aggressive."

Jun Qingyan said: "The grass people mentioned it casually, the princess doesn't have to take it to heart."

"Yes, you mention everything casually, but the irrelevant people take it to heart." I said coldly.

"Caomin never said the word irrelevant."

"This palace advises you, you have to keep your eyes open when you see people in the future, and it's not good to admit the wrong person."

Zhao Guo's envoy was stunned and said: "Princess Mingyu knows..." Before he finished speaking, a silver light flashed and entered his body.Bai Wan stood up abruptly, she looked at me, and said, "Smart people don't speak in secret, let's open the skylight to talk."

The meatball turned pale with shock.

I said, "Stand back, Routuan, and watch outside. No one is allowed to come in without my palace's order." After that, I stared at Bai Wan, and said, "Open the skylight, open the skylight, what the hell are you planning?" ? Pretending to be the Princess of Zhao State is a death penalty in Zhao State."

Bai Wan said: "I was originally the princess of the Zhao country."

I'm not surprised when she said that.He's just a small princess, and he can be a princess if he is recognized outside.With Bai Wan's ability, it is not difficult for Emperor Zhao to recognize her as the princess.

I said coldly: "And then? Assuming that you are really the princess of Zhao Guo, you and..." After a pause, I was a little confused. I didn't know whether to call Master or Jun Qingyan, but when I saw the two of them enter the palace together , There was a hint of displeasure in my heart, and I simply said: "You and him entered the palace to find Wan'er? I have said many times, I am not Wan'er, and I will not help you find Wan'er."

I glanced lightly at Jun Qingyan and said, "I'm still waiting to find the sixth son-in-law."

Hands up and down, the two-finger-thick Linglong Crisp entered Jun Qingyan's mouth in the blink of an eye, so fast that I couldn't react.

"you……"

"Jun Qingyan!" Bai Wan took a step ahead of me, she said nervously, "Aren't you stupid? This Linglong crisp is obviously filled with meat, you..."

Jun Qingyan waved his hand, Bai Wan was silent, he looked at me straight.

His face and lips turned pale in just a moment, I could see that he couldn't hold on any longer, but he still looked at me steadfastly.

I was suddenly a little upset.

I never expected that Jun Qingyan would really swallow it. I originally wanted to use this to expose his true face, but now things are not going to develop as I thought.His voice was as breathless as air, but his eyes were extremely determined.

"Ah Wu."

For the first time, he called out my name, not the princess, nor Mingyu.

He said: "It was not good for me to be a teacher that day, I take back what I said that day." He began to pant heavily, looking as if he would pass out on the table in the next moment.

Bai Wan obviously didn't eat Linglong Crisp, but her face turned slightly pale.

Her lips were tightly pressed together, and I saw her fingers clenched into fists under her sleeves.

I asked, "What do you want to take back?"

When I said this, I felt a little bit of anticipation in my heart.Jun Qingyan said so much to me that day, I probably guessed what he was going to take back, but I wanted to hear him say it with my own ears.

"I……"

As soon as he said a word, his lips trembled violently. Suddenly, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

Although I was mentally prepared, when I saw Jun Qingyan fainted with my own eyes, my heart still thumped. Before my brain could react, my hands and feet had already moved first, and I ran directly to Jun Qingyan's side to fetch the jade that he carried with him. The flute skillfully played a Jiangnan minor tune.

Then he called the palace servants to bring the Persian cat back.

I took the Persian cat, and Jun Qingyan's complexion had improved at this time, he slowly opened his eyes, and when I was about to put the Persian cat in his arms, he took the initiative to grab my hand.

Obviously so weak and weak, but at this moment, he is firmly holding my wrist.

He said: "At first, I didn't see my own mind clearly as a teacher. After you left, I figured it out. You... are just Ah Wu."

Suddenly there was a strange sound, I subconsciously looked up, and at some point Bai Wan had already left.

Jun Qingyan still held my wrist tightly.

I saw two words in his eyes - care.
