C79 Happy Birthday

Yunshu felt more and more that the old madam was looking at her as if she was her granddaughter-in-law. She felt that the cause was probably the encounter with the human traffickers a few days ago. Later, Jiang Xunyang brought her back to Jingan Hall.

At that time, when the old madam saw her and Jiang Xunyang return together, she smiled so happily that her wrinkles turned into a flower. However, when she saw her grandson's wound, the flower immediately wilted and quickly called for Doctor Lin.

The old madam's heart ached for her grandson, so Jiang Xunyang naturally wanted Yun Zhu to go over for a few days. He said that he would return Yunshu after his injuries were healed, and the madame recalled Yunshu's attitude towards her grandson. She didn't make up her mind at the moment, so she called Yunshu outside to ask for her opinion.

Yunshu felt that regardless of whether it was an act or not, Jiang Xunyang had indeed done it to save her. Asking her to take care of him while he was injured wasn't an excessive request, so she agreed.

The madame was even more certain that Yunshu's view of her grandson was gradually changing. She could not help but feel delighted. In the next few days, she met Yunshu even more brazenly and sized her up with the gaze of looking at her granddaughter-in-law.

As a result, once Yun Zhu met the madame, she somewhat regretted agreeing to such a thing back then. Fortunately, Jiang Xunyang's body was strong to begin with, and his wounds healed quickly. These few days, although she had been asked to serve him in the courtyard, she had actually only been doing the job of serving tea, delivering water, grinding, and changing medicine. He also did not let her do other more private things and heavy work.

Other than receiving gifts from Jiang Xunyang as usual, his life was no different from Jingan Hall. Every morning when she woke up, she would even feel that this place was more comfortable than Jingan Hall - thanks to the Spring Welcoming Package, which helped Jiang Xunyang get up in the morning to wash up and eat, she could sleep without worry until she woke up naturally.

After You Jinshu found out that she had been borrowed by the Shian Courtyard, he still came to visit her every day. He said that he was afraid that Jiang Xunyang would take the opportunity to do something to her, but Yunshu did not take this matter to heart. She felt that if Jiang Xunyang really wanted to do something to her, he would have done it long ago. However, You Jinshu felt that he knew Jiang Xunyang's temperament well, so he reminded her to be on guard. She could only nod her head.

Two days later was the old madam's birthday, and the prime minister, who had temporarily lost his power, invited many colleagues to dinner on this day. Yun Zhu did not know whether or not she would secretly plot something else. She only felt that she was so busy that she did not even have time to drink a mouthful of water today, even though she only stood behind Jiang Xunyang, who was following her father to welcome the guests. She helped to bring those adults to the main hall of the residence to take a seat.

Just as Yunshu felt that her feet were about to break, she returned to the main door and saw an unexpected person. However, this time, her face was actually covered with heavy makeup. If it wasn't for the fact that they were familiar with each other, it would be hard to imagine her true appearance covered by heavy makeup.

Xiao Ya untied the moon-white golden silk cloak on her body and handed it to the eunuch at the side. "Bengong came uninvited. The Prime Minister will not be unhappy, right?"

Jiang Tong maintained his smile and answered respectfully, "Princess Yongle being able to come, this official's humble residence is honored by your presence, and it's not too late for this official to be happy. Why don't you let my son bring the princess to stroll around the estate first? "

Xiao Ya decisively refused and instead turned to look at Yunshu. "Just let her bring me around."

Thus, Yunshu relied on Xiao Ya's identity as a princess to temporarily have some free time.

Walking to the backyard, Xiao Ya pulled her sleeve. "I have something for you."

Xiao Ya did not directly give the thing to her. She only said this sentence to her. It was very clear that that kind of thing could not be seen by others, so she brought her to her residence in the outer court.

Xiao Ya let the eunuch who had been following behind her go out and guard, not letting anyone get close. She took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to her. "The Imperial Uncle told me to give it to you. If Sister Yin wants to reply, you can give it to me to bring back. "

"Why is the princess here?" She asked as she opened the envelope.

"Of course I'm here to look for you. It wasn't easy for me to sneak out of the palace. But you weren't in King Heng's Imperial Residence. The Imperial Uncle told me that I could find you here. So I came, but he asked me to put on this kind of makeup. Why did Sister Yin come here? What is the Imperial Uncle asking you to do for him?"

Yun Zhu couldn't help but smile when she saw the contents of the letter." I'm sorry. If His Highness King Heng didn't tell the Princess, then I can't tell her either. "

This time, besides urging her to quickly get the item, Xiao Heng also wrote a few more lines of words to remind her not to be too fond of her. One on the left, Jiang Xunyang, right, Kong Shengda. He had forgotten that Yang Siyuan was still locked up in the dungeon.

Yun Zhu felt that she had been wronged. The reason why she had not made a move during this period of time was clearly because she wanted to wait for You Jinshu to finish his Imperial Examinations and leave the Prime Minister Estate to ensure his safety. Why did she "hug" him when she arrived at Xiao Heng's place?

In order to make Xiao Heng temporarily loosen his grip, she replied a letter and wrote her own thoughts inside. Then, she asked him if You Jinshu could get him to work in a place slightly further away from the Prime Minister Estate.

Although Xiao Ya, who was sitting by the side drinking tea, was very curious about the contents of her letter, the many years of etiquette taught by the royal family made it impossible for her to secretly peek at other people's letters. Thus, in the end, Yun Zhu folded the letter and placed it in the envelope, but she didn't even take a glance at it.

"Then when will you be able to return to King Heng's Estate?" Xiao Ya put the letter into her sleeve as she asked with a frown.

Yun Zhu was stunned for a moment. Ever since she had escaped with Yang Siyuan, she had never thought of returning to King Heng's Estate. However, when she saw Xiao Ya's look of anticipation, she could no longer speak. She only said, "I don't know."

Upon hearing her reply, Xiao Ya's head immediately drooped. "Can't the royal uncle send someone else to work for him? He insisted on calling you. Looks like I won't be able to find you to play with for the next few months. "

Yunshu smiled and said, "Isn't it fun in the Palace? Why does the Princess always think of sneaking out? "

Xiao Ya turned her head and said to her with a straight face, "Look at my current expression. Would you find it interesting?"

Her deadpan expression was somewhat dull and very cute. Yunshu could not help but smile and shake her head at the same time.

"Other than those concubines and... my father, those people in the Palace all have this kind of expression. They are like wooden puppets. If not, they will become bitter from being punished. Hahaha. I will suffocate to death from boredom."

"In the past, when I heard those storytellers talk about the palace's secrets, I always felt that it was a place where I had no time to be bored at all."

"Why?" Just as she finished asking, Xiao Ya realized it herself and continued: “ Jealousy is very common among my Imperial Father's concubines, but they don't dare to target me. I have plenty of methods to make them suffer. "

Yunshu was stunned for a moment because of her words, and then said frankly, "But the Princess doesn't seem to be the kind of person who knows how to scheme."

Xiao Ya smiled lightly. "How can the people who live in the Palace be simple? Sister Yin probably doesn't know. My mother passed away when I was six years old and was poisoned by a concubine."

When she talked about this matter, her expression was so calm that it was as if she was telling someone else's story.

How would a six year old child survive in a treacherous palace? And it was a girl. Although there had been two or three queens in Great Liang before, it was said that the current Emperor of Great Liang valued men more than women. However, the heavens seemed to be joking with him. After so many years, there had only been this one Princess Yongle. One could imagine the treatment Xiao Ya received in the Palace when she was young.

The way she looked at the girl in front of her couldn't help but soften a little. She wanted to reach out and touch her head, so she did the same.

Xiao Ya, who was drinking tea, was stunned by her touch. "Sister Yin, I'm fine now. Now that she thought about it, she felt that since she had to face reality one day, it didn't make any difference whether she was a day earlier or a day later."

Yunshu didn't know what to say. She always seemed especially clumsy when it came to comforting people. It was probably because no one had taught her such things before. After all, it wasn't slow for her to learn things. It was just like when Pei Hongqing taught her how to shoot arrows when she was young.

Thinking of this, her thoughts couldn't help but drift into the distance. When she had escaped earlier... Yang Siyuan had contacted Pei Hongqing to meet up with them, but she had not taken the arranged route. She did not know if Pei Hongqing would be very angry with her and be disappointed in her at that time.

He thought that she would not see him again. She clearly did not need to face the awkwardness of seeing him again. She should feel relaxed, but now when she thought about it, she felt as if her heart was empty. She felt very uncomfortable.
