"I came to Yongmen Palace to bring some pastries to the emperor, but I didn't expect to meet the Seventh Princess. If the Seventh Princess doesn't mind my clumsiness, why not try it?"
Wen Bin's deliberate attempt to please made Ji Ruyan frown. She has a very picky mouth, okay?
It doesn’t mean that everyone’s food can satisfy her.
Ji Ruyan declined, "Your Majesty, you're welcome, I'm not hungry."
Seeing that she refused, Concubine Wen was not upset, so she took her and sat aside, waiting for Emperor Xuan's return.
Two women were sitting on the couch in the room, silent and could only hear each other's breathing.
Ji Ruyan was originally wary of Wen Bin, but Wen Bin looked calm on the surface, but in fact she was very unstable.
You know, her appearance in Yongmen Palace today was completely forced.
Since Zong Zhouhou knew that the food contributed by Xu Ziming, the veteran general of the country, to Emperor Xuan that day was a thousand-year-old orange, he wanted her to bring out the pattern of the thousand-year-old orange.
But she had no way of knowing that she was just an ordinary concubine, although she was said to have given birth to an eldest princess and a royal highness.
But after all, his status is not high, and he is not even the most favored one in the harem. How can he attract people's attention?
Ji Ruyan could see Wen Bin's troubled look from the corner of her eye, but she was too lazy to meddle in her own business. As long as Wen Bin's request was not excessive, she wouldn't mind helping.
As the saying goes, it’s easy to talk to each other without any grudges or hatred!
Ji Ruyan waited for a long time, then picked up the tea in front of her and took a gentle sip.
Wen Bin looked at the time and guessed that Emperor Xuan would be back soon. If she delayed it any longer, she might not have a chance, so she asked Ji Ruyan, "I heard that the Seventh Princess used to travel around a lot. I wonder if you can
Ever heard of the Thousand Years Orange?"
Ji Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that Zong Zhouhou was using this concubine to get information out of him. However, this was not a big deal, so he nodded, "I've seen it before.
.I also tasted one. It was thanks to my grandfather’s good fortune that I tasted the taste of this fine fruit in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.”
"Then the Seventh Princess, can you draw me a picture of a thousand-year-old orange, so that I can see what this fine fruit looks like?"
Wen Bin asked eagerly.
Ji Ruyan looked at her deeply and didn't answer.
Concubine Wen was embarrassed, and after a long while she explained softly, "I am an inconspicuous concubine in the palace, and I don't participate in the fights in the palace. The emperor doesn't like to see me, but my father really wants to know what Chitose Orange looks like, so he wanted to
Ask the Seventh Princess through me. If I disturb you, please forgive me for being presumptuous. You continue to wait here for the Emperor, and I will leave first."
Wen Bin stood up quickly and left without looking at Ji Ruyan after finishing her words.
Ji Ruyan raised her eyebrows, why did this concubine leave so quickly?
Does she look like a man-eating witch? It really makes her depressed that she can run so fast.
Moreover, I didn’t say I wouldn’t promise.
Hey!
It seems that after I finish painting it myself, I need to ask Gao and Manager Gao for help.
Just as he was thinking about it, the little chamberlain at the palace gate ran in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, return to the palace!"
Ji Ruyan quickly stood up, then stood aside, waiting for the bright yellow figure to come in.
Seeing that figure, Ji Ruyan quickly bowed his head and said, "Daughter-in-law, please send greetings to your father. May your father be blessed with good luck!"
Emperor Xuan rubbed his somewhat swollen forehead and glanced at her lazily, "Why are you here? Have you finished everything I asked you to do?"
