On the way out of the palace, the prince met a hurried-looking eunuch. He had the impression that he was a servant of his East Palace.
Judging from this panicked state, he obviously saw something he was afraid of.
Maybe his body was found?
What puzzled him was that instead of going to report to his father, the eunuch went out for what?
The prince was in a hurry to find the fish roll, so he did not follow him, otherwise he would have discovered that the young eunuch had been chatting for a long time with an old man who came to court.
.
Yu Quezhi, who had just returned from training in the military camp, looked at the large boxes of solid wood boxes brought in at the door and almost thought they were here to give betrothal gifts.
He walked in and saw his mother drinking tea leisurely and his bored sister. He asked with surprise in his tone: "Mom, what is going on?"
Mrs. Lin took a sip of tea gracefully and said in a calm tone, "They're all for Juan Juan. I came early in the morning and it took me half an hour to get the order right."
Yu Quezhi: "..." What silly son of a landlord fell in love with his precious sister?
"What are they?"
"There's everything. Maybe the bottom of the sea has been emptied."
The calmer her tone was, the louder the roar in Yu Chuezhi's mind.
Mrs. Lin put down the tea cup and stood up, and said softly, "You look at Juan Juan here, while I go to the kitchen to see if the two drawers of cakes have been steamed."
"Okay, mother, go ahead."
When she was about to turn around, the concierge suddenly walked in with a red invitation in his hand.
"Madam, this is an invitation sent by a servant."
The porter handed the invitation to her and went down.
Mrs. Lin opened the invitation, her watery eyes glazed over for a moment.
"Mother, who is it?"
"Princess Jingyi, I invite you and A Xu to attend the spring banquet tomorrow."
Yu Quezhi took the invitation and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help complaining, "It's almost May, so why are we having a spring banquet?"
As we all know, the Spring Banquet also has another purpose, which is to give young gentlemen of the right age in the capital a chance to chat openly, or to put it bluntly, to go on a blind date.
Yu Quezhi shook his head and handed the invitation back, "Let me go, I won't go anyway."
He is getting married in March next year, why would he go to a place like this?
Mrs. Lin did not force him, and said in a quiet tone: "Okay, our Shangshu Mansion has very little contact with Princess Jingyi. It's okay if you don't go, but Shuying is on good terms with the Princess, so she will definitely not offend the Princess. It’s the Lord’s face, so Shuyan will definitely go.”
Juanjuan could smell the gossip, and her black grape-like eyes almost lit up at the smell.
[Then when Sister Shuyan met the boy she liked more at that banquet, should Juan Juan choose blessing or blessing~]
【Blessings anyway! I can’t let my second brother affect the bond between Seoyan and I! 】
Yu Chuezhi took back the invitation as if facing a formidable enemy.
"I go!"
His eyes were firm as if he was about to go into battle to kill the enemy, "Mother, I'll go!"
Mrs. Lin looked at him with a smile and patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Go ahead, by the way, let the servants tell Wanrou that the clothes I had people make for her two days ago should be ready. My son asked her to go out with me to get it back, and take her to have a look tomorrow, this child doesn't like to move around too much."
Yu Quezhi took the invitation and left, his back looking like he was running away.
Juanjuan was still thinking with his little head raised:
[Sister Shuyan will be Juan Juan’s sister no matter who she marries, but she will only be Juan Juan’s family member when she marries the second brother. 】
[Furthermore, Juanjuan doesn’t like to see lovers become siblings, so even if the second brother doesn’t go to Juanjuan, he will help him! 】
After thinking about it, the little guy turned his head and saw that there was no sign of his second brother here.
【Eh? ! Where has the second brother gone? 】
Mrs. Lin bent down and touched her soft cheek, and couldn't help but kiss her, her eyes were very kind.
Silly boy, of course your second brother was scared away by you.
If Juan Juan's habit of talking and gasping from time to time didn't irritate her, she would quite like it.
"Okay, mommy, go bring you the pastries~"
Juanjuan rubbed her mother happily, and said with a milky voice, "Thank you, mother~"
After a while, Yu Chuezhi, who finally regained his composure, came back and sat next to Juan Juan and watched her eat.
[Why does the second brother look at me like I stole his wife? 】
It was difficult for her to ignore this smell of resentment.
When Yu Quezhi was about to speak, he suddenly heard the wind blowing in his ears, and he glanced outside.
The sun is clearly out, but why is it so cool?
【ah! Long time no see~His Royal Highness~]
Prince?
Yu Que subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the next moment he was stunned.
Prince? !
He looked at Juan Juan, and saw that Juan Juan seemed to be stunned, looking up into the void with his soft white face.
When you see the prince curled up like this, you know what's going on.
[It seems that the prince was sent back by his ancestors~]
His Royal Highness, whose soul was translucent, was as tall as jade. Seeing that Juanjuan kept looking up at him, she felt a little uncomfortable, so he half-knelt in front of her, his tone pious and pleading.
"Sister Juanjuan, my grandpa said you have a way to save me. Can you help me return to my own body? I don't want to leave the world like this."
Juan Juan nodded, glanced at his second brother who seemed not to have noticed, and said in a low voice, "Yes, yes~"
The prince's eyes were moved, and a gentle smile appeared on his jade-like face, "Thank you, sister Juanjuan."
Juanjuan groped for the black token from her body. She put it inside her clothes after getting it this morning, and now she is actually using it!
While she was taking out the token, the prince walked up to Yu Quezhi again. Even though he knew that Yu Quezhi couldn't hear what he said, he still thanked her.
"Xiao Zhi, thank you for going into the water and saving me that day. Without you and Juan Juan, I might have been trapped at the bottom of the lake with no chance of my soul coming back."
[Okay~ You can go now! 】
【Huh? The prince is thanking his second brother, please wait a little longer for Juan Juan~]
Yu Quezhi's body stiffened. No wonder he said it was so cold right now.
Although the prince was a ghost, he was familiar with him, so Yu Quezhi was not that scared except for feeling a little uncomfortable.
Looking at the morning light falling in the east, the prince's eyes became serious.
"The matter of my death has probably been reported to the court. I'm afraid something will happen."
Upon hearing this, Juanjuan quickly put a few pieces of the newly made snacks on the table, took his second brother and left.
The prince's guess was good. The emperor could suppress it a few days ago, but now that the second prince's party has brought him to the court, the emperor is also powerless.
For so many years, they could not fault the prince. Even the Zhao family, the second prince's mother clan, seemed to have accepted his fate. Who knew that this morning they suddenly learned that the prince had died in the East Palace? How could they not be excited.
