East Palace.

Eunuch Zhang Xian hurried back from the outside, he first went to his master Liu Yuzhu and told him what he saw at the pier today.

"Hasn't anyone noticed?" Liu Yuzhu asked.

Zhang Xian hurriedly said: "No, the servants came and changed their clothes three times, so no one will notice."

Liu Yuzhu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, Master knows you are clever, go and clean up, and come with me to see His Highness."

Zhang Xian couldn't believe it: "Master, this..."

Back then, he was appreciated by his master because he took the initiative to deliver the news. Later, when Mr. Nangong left the palace, he was transferred under his master. To promote him.

Liu Yuzhu: "Why, are you stupid? You are lucky, a little eunuch who served tea in the study the day before yesterday was kicked out with dirty hands and feet, and now he is waiting to fill the vacancy. I thought you would be smart and tell you to come before others." Show your face, if you can be spotted by Grandpa Liu, maybe this will happen."

"I don't know how many people are staring at this vacancy. The first thing Master thinks of is you. You must not embarrass Master later. Hurry up, be careful to delay the time and ask His Highness to ask."

Zhang Xian hurriedly went down to freshen up.

In the study room, the crown prince was reviewing the memorials brought back from the Zichen Palace. Since the end of the year, some unimportant notebooks have been handed over to him and King Rong. These trivial and complicated notebooks cannot be completely ignored.

Xie Yuanchong and Rong Zhu were on the sidelines to help sort and organize, and those who only sang praises in the whole article were directly stopped by them and thrown into the basket.

After a while, Liu Duan walked in with his waist bowed. Xie Yuanchong raised his eyelids and saw him walking to the prince and whispered something. Although His Highness's expression didn't change, it was obvious that he was in a much better mood knowing His Highness.

Then he put down his pen and got up to go out.

Xie Yuanchong couldn't help frowning.

He was not completely unaware of the relationship between His Highness and Nangong. After all, Fu Zhuo had never deliberately concealed what he had done these years. With the Jin brothers, even Gaozong Yingzong also had favorite ministers.

Nangong is now a close minister of the emperor, and it is a good thing for His Highness to befriend him...

But looking at it now, it seems that Nangong's influence on the crown prince is a little too deep. Looking at Nangong's behavior in the past few years, it is obviously not a kind person.

"Thank you brother?" Rong Zhuo called out.

Xie Yuanchong came back to his senses, and found an excuse to cover up the past.

After listening to Liu Yuzhu and Zhang Xian's reply, the prince next door took a look at Zhang Xian.

Liu Duan immediately understood: "You said you served Nangong Qianhu?"

Zhang Xian met His Highness the Crown Prince for the first time, bowed his waist and did not dare to move: "Yes, when Qianhu was staying in the East Palace, the servant girl and another eunuch named Qian Chuan were sent by Zhan Shifu."

The prince played with the beeswax beads on his wrist and said calmly: "Go down."

Liu Yuzhu pulled Zhang Xian back.

When the two went out, Liu Duan said, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

The crown prince raised his eyelids and glanced at him, Liu Duan was full of smiles: "Isn't this servant thinking that Mr. Nangong will stop talking for more than a month, and ask someone to come and relieve your boredom."

His Highness will miss Mr. Nangong very much when he leaves. He happened to remember that Mr. Nangong lived in the East Palace for a while, and the palace servants who served him should know him well. Also into.

The prince glared at him: "This is not an example."

"Hey." Liu Duan responded immediately, laughing, "The maidservant left him behind. Don't worry, Your Highness, the maidservant will teach/teach him well so that he knows what to say and what not to say."

The prince didn't get too entangled in this matter, and changed the subject: "How about the matter I asked you to investigate?"

The smile on Liu Duan's face disappeared instantly, bowed his waist and said softly: "The palace people in the dining room are always tight-lipped, and they will not be able to find out anything for a while, but the little eunuch in the Zichen Palace sent a letter saying that the Holy Majesty has added I got into the habit of taking a nap, and only Eunuch Gao would watch over the nap every time, and the slaves counted the time, and it was after the nap that the Holy Spirit recovered..."

The prince's eyes were heavy: "Continue to investigate, if it is as expected, there will be clues left."

Liu Duansu Rong should be.

"If it is found out..." The prince stroked the round beeswax beads, lowered his eyelids, "Don't say anything for now."

It was the second time on a long boat trip, Nan Ruo was much calmer, and this time he was the backbone, and all the servants took him as the head, and most of the servants who came to send off the wedding were traveling by boat for the first time. stable.

There is a large box of incense-making books waiting for him to "turn over the cards", and the life on the boat is not boring.

In addition, she had to give Si Niang psychological comfort before marriage.

After all, she was still scared, not because she was afraid of what Nan Ruo was going to do, but because she was afraid of getting married and causing trouble to Nan Ruo, so she kept holding back and didn't say anything. It was only when she ran to find Nan Ruo that she found out because she was worried about something happening.

Nan Ruo looked at Si Niang's immature face and felt distressed. In her previous life, Si Niang was still a middle school student wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, but in this life, she has already left home thousands of miles to get married. Only then can we see each other once.

He really wanted to touch Siniang's head, but in the end he held back, because it was not suitable, he just picked up a tissue and handed it to her: "If you don't want to, let's go back, and from now on, big brother will take care of you for the rest of your life."

Si Niang burst into tears again, quickly wiped them away, laughed through tears, and said: "What are you talking about, please don't let outsiders hear it, how can a young girl stay in her mother's house for the rest of her life..." She lowered her eyes, " If I don't marry, won't I implicate the other wives in the clan, as well as the sixth and seventh mothers..."

She is the eldest daughter of the head of the family, if she breaks the contract and refuses to marry, what will the outside world think? Six mothers and seven mothers cannot find a good marriage because of her.

Nan Ruo is silent, the world is like this, the family represents both prosperity and loss, and if Si Niang really regrets the marriage, he can save her, but the days to come may not be easy.

Seeing this, Siniang comforted him: "I'm just feeling a little bit emotional about leaving home for the first time. Don't worry, big brother. When I was studying in school, I always heard my master say that Jiangnan is rich and prosperous. I have learned so many Jiangnan poems. I can see it with my own eyes in the future. Once you see it, this marriage is not a disadvantage, it is better than staying in the capital for the rest of your life."

She smiled and rolled her eyes: "I can write letters in the future, and it's not that I have lost contact. Besides, Saburo will always go to Beijing for a scientific examination. I will ask him to take me with him. I may have to trouble my elder brother when the time comes."

Nan Ruo finally couldn't hold back and patted her on the top of the head twice.

The tears that Si Niang had just suppressed rolled down in an instant, and washed her down like a dam burst, grabbed Nan Ruo's clothes, choked up and said, "Brother, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Nan Ruo squatted down, "Just take it as a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, to see the scenery. If you are not happy, we will come back. Your big brother in the yard will always be reserved for you."

"If Song Yunfang dares to bully you, you should immediately send someone to deliver a letter to me. Don't hold back alone, you know?"

Si Niang couldn't stop crying, she just covered her eyes and nodded.

With this venting, her mood improved significantly. Nan Ruo didn't dare to relax, and took time to talk to her every day before stopping the boat. Si Niang's mood became better and better.

But the boat still had to dock after all. On the last day, after getting dressed again, Siniang looked at herself in the mirror and was silent for a long time.

"If you can marry someone you want, you can marry, and if you don't want to marry someone, just don't marry." She said depressedly, "It can be done a few years later, why can men mention marriage after the crown, but women can't?"

At this moment, Nan Ruo suddenly understood why those women recruited by Empress Zheng were willing to work for her wholeheartedly.

"There will be." He carried Siniang on his back, stepped firmly onto the deck, and said softly, "One day, you will have everything you want."
