When she found the secret pavilion the next day, she was told that the master of the pavilion was out of town for something, and it was not yet determined when he would return. She asked again how the matter she wanted to investigate was progressing, but the subordinates of the secret pavilion had no comment because she was not involved in the matter and could only wait for the master of the pavilion to come back and ask in person.

Chu Yunyan rushed to nothing and had to return to the palace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned to Qixia Garden, Qu Wenxin caught up with her: "Cousin-in-law, Princess Wenxin, I have something to see you."

Chu Yunyan didn't have a good impression of Qu Wenxin from the first moment she saw her, but now that she was considered the master of the house, the prince's cousin took the initiative to find her door, so she had no choice but to walk out.

Qu Wenxin saw that Chu Yunyan was dressed in casual clothes, which was not what a noble princess should be. She couldn't help but look down upon her. She pinched her throat and said sweetly: "Princess Cousin, you also know that Wen Xin is here. I’ve been in Kyoto for a few days, but——”

Chu Yunyan still stretched out her head, waiting for her to speak, but she stopped talking and looked at Chu Yunyan with some shyness.

Chu Yunyan asked patiently: "What then?"

Qu Wenxin said sadly: "Does my cousin not like Wenxin?"

When Chu Yunyan heard this, her body trembled and goosebumps appeared. She looked at Qu Wenxin calmly and said, "You are thinking too much."

Qu Wenxin picked up the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her eyes, then said sadly: "Then why does my cousin always ignore Wenxin? Wenxin is so bored in the house."

After hearing these words, Chu Yunyan rolled her eyes in her heart. She kept a calm expression on her face and explained: "Unfortunately, I have been a little busy in recent days."

After listening to Chu Yunyan's explanation, Qu Wenxin moved her eyes twice by pressing the corners of her eyes, looked up at Chu Yunyan, and said with concern: "My cousin is not in the house, thank you for your hard work, cousin. Does my cousin need help? Wen Xin is willing to help my cousin share some of the burden."

After hearing this, Chu Yunyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Qu Wenxin with a half-smile.

Qu Wenxin didn't understand the meaning of Chu Yunyan's smile, so she asked nonchalantly: "Cousin, is there something wrong?"

Chu Yunyan sighed softly and replied: "I accept my kindness, but you can't help me with my matter."

"Does my cousin look down on Yun Xin?" Qu Wenxin frowned, feeling aggrieved.

Chu Yunyan cursed MMP several times in her heart and said calmly: "If you want to wait for the prince to come back, just wait in the east wing and there is no need to come here to care about my affairs."

Qu Wenxin realized that she was nakedly disliked, and her face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and left Qixia Garden with her maid with shame on her face.

Qu Wenxin returned to the east courtyard, holding on to the veil with both hands, and said bitterly: "Look, she is not a favored princess, and she actually talks about me like this! When my cousin comes back, I will let him make the decision for me. !”

The maid Shiqing whispered from the side: "Miss, I have inquired and said that the prince will return to Beijing soon."

When Qu Wenxin heard the news, her expression changed instantly and she said happily: "It's great, I'm finally going to see my cousin!"

She walked around the house twice more excitedly, and said anxiously: "I don't know what my cousin looks like now. I must have changed a lot now. I wonder if my cousin can still recognize me as my cousin?" "

Shiqing hurriedly said: "Miss, you have forgotten what Madam said, the God of War is brave and handsome, the most beautiful man in Kyoto!"

"Yes, my cousin was extremely good-looking when he was a child. What about me?" Qu Wenxin asked anxiously.

"Miss, why are you still worried about yourself? Miss's talent and beauty are among the best in Chengzhou, so she's certainly not bad, and the relationship between miss and the prince is on display here!" Shiqing kept praising her miss. .

Huayi just stood there blankly and didn't interrupt.

Qu Wenxin's bad mood, which had just been retorted by Chu Yunyan, disappeared, and she said to Huayi: "Huayi, go to the kitchen to see if there are any pastries and fruits, and bring more. This prince's palace is really too frugal. How could I fall in love with such a naughty woman as my princess?"

I got the idea and told him to go to the kitchen and ask for cakes and fruits.

The people in the kitchen knew that this was the prince's cousin, so they didn't hesitate, but they just told the truth. They said that the food and clothing expenses in the mansion were divided into each yard every day according to the rules, and there was no extra that could be used. Assignment, and there are never any reception activities in the palace, every day is an ordinary day.

Huayi got an answer and went back to the courtyard to report the truth. After Qu Wenxin found out, she did not criticize Chu Yunyan as the princess for her behavior. Instead, she felt full of heartache for Gu Qingxuan. She felt sorry that the life in the palace was so miserable, completely. He is not worthy of his status as a prince.

"When my cousin comes back, I will try my best to help my cousin solve his problems and make his life easier." Qu Wenxin secretly decided.

Soon, Qu Wenxin waited for his cousin.

On this day, the weather was clear, and the air in Kyoto was still filled with a chilly spring chill. Pedestrians were walking around in twos and threes on the street.

Three horses galloped on the official road, ran elegantly into the city, and went straight to the palace.

Pedestrians stopped and commented: "The God of War is back! The God of War is back!"

Soon, the news reached Prince Zhan's Mansion. Qu Wenxin sat down and stood up excitedly, looking a little at a loss. However, she waited in the mansion for half a day, but she did not see her cousin.

"Shiqing, go and find out. Why hasn't my cousin returned home yet?" Qu Wenxin looked anxious and ordered Shiqing, who was smarter.

After being satisfied with the poem, he ordered to leave the east courtyard. He wanted to go to the west courtyard to ask Chunlan. After thinking about it, the princess didn't seem to like his young lady very much, so he changed his route to look for Rufeng and Yeying, but after looking around, he didn't see those two people. , and finally bit the bullet and went to Qixia Garden in the west.

"Sister Chunlan, I have something to ask you." Shiqing walked up to Chunlan and said with a smile on her face.

When Chunlan saw that she was the maid next to her cousin, she didn't have much favorable impressions. She asked calmly: "I've met you, but what is missing about my cousin?"

"No, no, sister Chunlan misunderstood. It was my young lady who heard that the prince had returned to Beijing early in the morning, but the sun was setting. How could he not return home yet?" Chunlan asked hurriedly.

"Well, I really don't know. Maybe the prince is busy with something outside! He will naturally return home after he is busy." Chunlan explained vaguely.

"So that's it! I just don't know what else to do since the prince has returned to Beijing?" Shiqing asked again.

"We, the maids, don't even know about this. We are serving in this mansion. How can we know about the things outside? Besides, the prince's affairs are all matters of the court." Chunlan replied angrily.

Shi Qing knew that her question was a bit over the line, so she hurriedly smiled apologetically and exited the west courtyard, and returned to the east courtyard in frustration.

"Listen, my cousin worked hard to return to Beijing from the border, but she didn't care at all. I sent someone to ask, and she was ridiculed. I don't think she is a good princess!" Qu Wen was anxious and his tone was unconscious. The ground improved a few points.

Huayi whispered from the side: "Miss, be careful, this is the palace."

"What are you afraid of! I am not an outsider!" Qu Wenxin had been completely overwhelmed by the sense of justice in her heart.

These words happened to be heard by Ye Ying, who had just passed by the west courtyard. His heart trembled and he sighed: "If the princess hears these words, I'm afraid she will be whipped!"
