Chapter 625: Two people supported each other down the mountain.

One sedan chair after another was carried up the steps on the mountain. Looking up from below, one sedan chair after another was carried up. There were maids and old women supporting the sedan chairs on both sides. It was quite spectacular.

However, it still looked a bit steep. Although the sedan bearers' steps seemed steady, it still made people feel uneasy. The Thirteenth Prince and Jiao Zhongjue quickly asked the guards to follow closely. The two of them also took a few quick steps and caught up with the sedan in front. There were also quite a few people following behind.

Jiao Zhongjue and the Thirteenth Prince seemed to be chatting casually. At first, they were talking about things before and after the New Year, but the Thirteenth Prince suddenly asked casually: "Was that the eldest daughter of Duke Shun?"

Just now in the pavilion, Thirteenth Prince heard Juanjuan calling Chuchu "sister", and not just once. She also carefully cared for the younger brother, so he thought it was naturally the older one. He asked this question just to further confirm it.

Jiao Zhongjue's answer was also very pertinent. He felt there was no need to hide it, and he did not look at the Thirteenth Prince: "Yes, it is Yan Juanjuan, the eldest daughter of Duke Shun."

Seeing that Jiao Zhongjue didn't say anything more, the other thirteen beile didn't dare to ask any more questions, but turned the topic to things that the other two were interested in.

There are even more people inside the temple. The three-story hall, which usually looks very large, becomes small and crowded once people squeeze in.

Fortunately, the abbot of the front hall saw that they were all well-dressed, so he asked them to go through the side door, passing by the crowd of people burning incense and entering the main hall from the side.

There were too many people in the temple and it was not advisable to stay for long. Everyone burned incense one by one in order and each family added money. It only took an hour, but the snow at the foot of the mountain could not be stopped.

Not daring to stay any longer, Jiao Zhongjue sought opinions from the other two families. Li Yan and Madam Li naturally advocated going down the mountain as soon as possible. Both families had families and relatively young children, so it would be better for them to go back as soon as possible and not cause trouble. When they were leaving, Duke Shun also told them that good meals were waiting for them at home, and asked them to go back as soon as possible after offering incense.

Before they knew it, they had already separated from the Thirteenth Prince and his entourage. It seemed that Taichang must have come prepared, and he would burn incense and scriptures to pray for the Emperor, and he might also chat with him a few words, so no one was waiting for anyone else.

Going down the mountain was too steep and it might not be safe to sit in the sedan chair, so everyone followed the advice and walked. Zimo also carried the small bag on his shoulder, and Zishu stood by to protect her.

Juanjuan and the wet nurse held Yaya on both sides to prevent her from falling, and took good care of her.

Chuchu finally had the chance to walk with Brother Jue. Last night in the palace, the two of them didn't even meet.

When staying up all night to welcome the New Year, Chuchu didn't pay much attention to Brother Jue because she was feeling a little depressed. She even talked about her two brothers in a random manner, which naturally left Brother Jue out of the spotlight. Later, she didn't even know when she fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, I heard Qiuli and Bayue say that they were the ones who carried her back to her original room.

Since the first year Chuchu spent New Year's Eve with Jiao Zhongjue, that room has become Chuchu's resting room, and it has been specially renovated according to her preferences. It is located in the west garden of the main house, separated from the courtyard where Jiao Zhongjue lives by only a flower corridor.

"The steps are covered with moss, so watch your step. Qiuli and Bayue, the two of you should stand in front and behind, protecting each other. Don't be too far apart." Although he was walking next to Chuchu, Jiao Zhongjue still arranged her two maids considerately, fearing that Chuchu would accidentally fall.

The conversation between the two was not lively, and they did not talk about their own affairs, but they talked about the Thirteenth Prince intentionally or unintentionally.

Jiao Zhongjue, on the other hand, had a high opinion of the Thirteenth Prince: "The Thirteenth Prince has not been favored since he was young, but he is very filial and respectful to his brothers. When he first entered the palace, he was also very friendly to Jue, very protective, and never did anything to take advantage of others' misfortunes. He is low-key, not competitive, but a little quiet."

Later, seeing that Chu Chu did not take the initiative to speak, he sighed softly and said, "The late emperor gave very little reward to them and their son, and he has no support from his mother's family. If it were not for the protection of the current emperor, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to maintain the livelihood of the Beile Mansion."

Would the emperor's son have such a hard time? Chu Chu was a little bit unbelievable, and only after hearing this could she help but slightly raise her head and look at brother Jue who was also paying attention to her.

When Chuchu saw that his expression finally showed some of its former warmth, Jiao Jiao Zhongjue finally breathed a sigh of relief. Chuchu ignored him, but it was really uncomfortable. Why should she be angry? At least she could punch and kick him a few times, which would be better than looking at a stranger like this.

Jiao Zhongjue continued the previous topic and said, "But Thirteenth Prince is very self-disciplined. Although his power is not great, he still holds a small official position. The important thing is that there are only two of them in the mansion, so it will be easy for anyone to marry into the mansion in the future."

This sentence was said in a slightly higher voice, and Madam Li and Li Yan who were following behind heard it, but no one commented on it or said anything. It was not good for the royal family to comment too much, if it got out, it would be considered that they were talking nonsense about the royal descendants, and no one wanted to be labeled like that.

The emperors of every dynasty would always have many offspring. It was lucky if they could grow up safely. It was already good if three or four out of ten could set up their own houses. It was also because the Thirteenth Beile's mother had a low status that none of the masters in the palace wanted to take action against him.

Li Wenchang followed his mother and listened to these words. Now that he entered the Hanlin Academy, he heard and saw more and had a better understanding of things. He said, "It's very rare to be able to live with your biological mother after being released. Judging from the Taichang's temperament, she shouldn't be a difficult person to get along with. She doesn't have the arrogant and domineering temper of the concubines. She won't cause trouble after being released. The two of them can be said to have finally gotten through all the hardships."

Thinking of these, Chu Chu thought of the fate of the old crown prince and the eighth prince, and then thought of their fallen maternal clans, and then thought of the still imprisoned Prince Yao, Jue's biological father, and could not help but stretch out her hand and hold Jue's hand tightly.

Jiao Zhongjue was delighted, thinking that Chuchu was no longer angry with him, and he held Chuchu's hand tightly in her sleeve.

The snow was still falling and the road was still very slippery. It was normal for us to take care of each other and move forward together, giving each other support and pulling each other.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone's shoes were soaked. Fortunately, the maids had prepared extra clothes and shoes for them in such weather. They got on the carriage and changed their shoes and socks. Someone in the carriage also lit a fire. Only then did they feel revived from the cold and the numbness in their feet disappeared.
