After many days, Zhu Sijia finally met Zhu Ya.
To be honest, Zhu Sijia didn't have high hopes for this matter, but as soon as she mentioned it during the day, Yan Xiu sent him over in the evening.
Zhu Ya is very different from when we first met. She changed out of her weird outfit and no longer wore strange makeup. She also used some unknown method to make her hair the same black as ordinary people.
After washing away all the smudges on her body, Zhu Yasheng's delicate and beautiful body was white and clean, and she really looked a bit like a lady.
It was a great joy that she was not killed by Yan Wei.
Zhu Sijia took her to the apse garden of Changle Palace and enthusiastically poured a cup of tea for Zhu Ya: "We haven't seen her for many days. I can hardly recognize Miss Zhu's appearance."
Zhu Ya took the tea from Zhu Sijia without any courtesy: "I'd like to thank you, Jieyu. I still remember clearly the promise I made to Jieyu."
Yes, even the way he talks is different.
The identity given to her now is that of a commoner woman in Da Qin.
But judging from her demeanor and manners, which were neither humble nor arrogant, neither flattering nor servile, she did not put herself in a position where she was inferior to Zhu Sijia at all.
Zhu Sijia admires her character very much, this is how she should be as a person, and even more so as a woman.
Unfortunately, if you want to have a place in this world, it is not enough to have character.
"You also saw that day that King Xiang is not easy to fool. I tried my best to protect you because I wanted you to serve me."
Zhu Sijia handed the pill that she had obtained after many twists and turns to her: "But you must also understand that before you completely gain my trust, your life must be controlled by me."
Zhu Yasi took the medicine from Zhu Sijia without hesitation, and swallowed it dryly and with difficulty without drinking the tea: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Please rest assured, Jieyu."
This kind of society where imperial power is supreme is too oppressive for her.
After repeatedly confirming that she had no way to return to modern society, Zhu Ya also figured it out, and gave up her desire to seek death and survive. Her life was her own, and she had to live even if she swallowed her anger.
Instead of letting her sell her sex and rely on men to gain a foothold, it would be better to work for this beautiful woman and climb up the ladder step by step.
Zhu Sijia was overjoyed and handed the waistband Yan Xiu gave her to Zhu Ya:
"Miss Zhu is a cheerful person. From today on, you are the maid in charge of Changle Palace. All the chores in the palace have nothing to do with you. You only do what I ask you to do and what you can do for me. "
"Inside the palace is no better than outside. You have to abide by the rules that should be observed. If you don't understand anything, just ask and learn. Never make mistakes in small things and drag me down. I don't raise useless people. Within seven days, you have to give me the first place. A proof.”
Zhu Ya took the belt card, gritted her teeth, and finally knelt down: "Slave, please follow Jie Yu's teachings."
Tai Chi Palace.
Yan Xiu rested here for many days in a row. Those who didn't know might think that he was angry with Zhu Sijia again.
Only those who are used to serving him know that he has lived a life of pure and stoic life for so many years. He spends more time on expeditions than in the palace. It is a habit.
"Your Majesty, are you still going to Changle Palace to spend the night tonight?"
Hu Shunhai stepped forward to ask.
It's not that Yan Xiu doesn't miss Zhu Sijia.
She said she was having her menstrual period in the past few days, and no matter how stupid he was, he knew that a woman needs a good rest during her menstrual period, not to mention that the two of them are not unable to see each other every day, so why should they cling to the little girl every day?
"No need, I'll stay at Changle Palace in a few days."
Yan Xiu stared at the camp military report handed over from the northwest.
Hu Shunhai retreated. Not long after, his voice at the top of his lungs was heard outside the Tai Chi Palace: "Miss, your Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the Tai Chi Palace before midnight!"
Zhu Siyi pushed Hu Shunhai away: "I have something to ask my cousin for help. If it delays my affairs, believe it or not, I will ask my cousin to punish you?"
She argued loudly with Hu Shunhai on the spot.
Yan Xiu's thoughts were interrupted, and he suddenly became extremely irritable. He said sternly: "Let her in."
Zhu Siyi smiled proudly at Hu Shunhai, walked into the house with small steps, smiled sweetly, and bowed to Yan Xiu very obediently: "Siying has met my cousin. I thought my cousin was in Changle Palace. I just went there. But it’s deserted.”
Today she wore a gardenia-colored brocade floral skirt, and she also had rabbit fur jewelry in her hair. Such a delicate and sweet color, coupled with her quirky and beautiful face, could not be ignored.
But Yan Xiu still stared at the military report without blinking at her.
After the cousins exchanged a few awkward greetings, Yan Xiu raised his eyes and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Zhu Siyi lay directly on his table and looked at him with two beautiful almond eyes: "Cousin, do you know what day tomorrow is?"
Yan Xiu: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't remember."
Zhu Siyi snorted: "Tomorrow is my birthday. I came to Tai Chi Palace because I have a gift to ask for from my cousin." "
Yan Xiu shouted: "Hu Shunhai, take Miss Zhu to the warehouse."
Zhu Siyi shook her head fiercely: "What I want is not the things in the palace warehouse! I want to ask my cousin for a favor. For the sake of my eighteenth birthday, can you let Yuan Zhi go tomorrow? I will let him Come with me to visit the night market in West Market."
Yan Xiu: "No."
The rules must not be broken. Even if Mrs. Chen knelt down outside his palace to plead for mercy today, he would not be shaken at all.
Zhu Siyi immediately burst into tears: "Why not? Don't think I don't know. Prince Xiang was let out by you today, so you have to target me like this? I'm going to tell my aunt."
When he thought that she was going to make trouble in front of the Queen Mother, and that Yan Wei left the palace today with his approval, Yan Xiu finally had nothing to do with her: "I'm sure."
Zhu Siyi immediately ran out of Tai Chi Palace happily.
…
On the day of Zhu Siyi's birthday, she woke up early and started to choose clothes to wear at night. She put on one set of jewelry after another, and waited until the sun set in the west before she finally put together a satisfactory outfit.
She didn't drink even a drop of water the whole day. When she thought about seeing Yan Xing, she was so happy that she couldn't eat. As soon as the sun went down, she ran to Prince Yi's Mansion.
The armored guards outside Prince Yi's Mansion were still guarding the place, but when they saw Zhu Siyi, they tacitly put away their weapons.
Zhu Siyi walked directly into Prince Yi's Mansion as always. Before she could pass through the verandah, she was stopped by Eleven:
"Miss, please come back. The prince won't see you."
"You just said you won't see me?" Zhu Siyi gave Eleven a hard look, "His Majesty agreed that the prince was out, but no one in your house notified him?"
Eleventh question: "The prince certainly knows about this. He has personally told the young lady that during the confinement period, he will not go out for any reason, let alone see guests, so as not to break his promise to your majesty. Please don't be bad, eldest lady." Don’t make it difficult for the prince to keep his good reputation."
Zhu Siyi was like a thunderbolt: "Did he really say that?"
