Chapter 156 But that old taste

It's you again.

Miss Jun also wants to say this.

"Prince Zhu, what a coincidence." She looked at Zhu Zan and said.

Zhu Zan glared at her and reached out to light her.

"That's enough," he said, "I'm not interested in a married woman."

Miss Jun laughed.

I don’t know how he came up with the opening remarks every time.

"I'm not a married woman." She said with a smile, "You can find out what happened in Yangcheng."

Zhu Zan scoffed and stood away.

"Whether you are okay or not, I am not interested in your affairs." He said, glaring at Miss Jun, "Don't follow me anymore."

After that, he turned around and left.

Miss Jun smiled, but what was he doing here?

She looked at Zhu Zan walking away, then looked at the alley behind the Guan Temple not far away on the other side, and followed him.

"Zhu Zan." she shouted.

Zhu Zan still didn't seem to hear and quickened his pace.

"Zhu Zan." Miss Jun smiled, shouted again, and quickened her pace.

Zhu Zan simply started running, and so did Miss Jun.

"Zhu Zan, I'll yell if you run away again," she shouted.

call?

What to shout?

Shouting indecent assault? He did it in Runan, but what was the result?

"We are in the capital now, don't think it's Runan." Zhu Zan stopped and turned back, stopping in front of Miss Jun and said.

Miss Jun looked at him and smiled.

"Yes, I know." She said.

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Zan said with a frown.

"What a coincidence, I bump into you wherever I go." Miss Jun asked with a smile, "Is this fate?"

Zhu Zan drank and laughed.

"There is no fate in this world, only intentionality." He said, smiling dryly, "What on earth do you want to do by following me?"

deliberately?

She really didn't mean to follow him, who knows why she kept meeting him.

It was done on purpose, are they doing it for the same thing?

This is even more impossible.

Miss Jun smiled.

"I'm fine, I just want to ask you." She said, "Do you know which red bean cake is the best in Beijing?"

Zhu Zan stared at her, turned around and sighed.

"I don't know," he said, turning around again and walking quickly.

"You know, you are so familiar with the capital." Miss Jun said with a smile.

Zhu Zan never looked back and disappeared into an alley.

Miss Jun smiled. Not only was her mood not ruined, her depression also dissipated because of this interruption, and she walked slowly along the street.

Red bean cake is not delicious at all, but my sister likes it. It has a really weird taste.

…………………………………………..

Watching a girl place a small plate in front of her, Princess Jiuli looked at the red bean cake cut into square pieces and smiled.

"Princess, please try it." A servant girl said with a flattering smile.

Princess Jiuli picked up a small piece with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

"Well, they are from Dingyuanhou's family." She raised her eyes and looked to the side.

Lu Yunqi stood aside and hummed after hearing this.

"Princess is so smart. Your Excellency specially hired a cook from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion to do this." The servant girl smiled.

Princess Jiuli didn't say anything. She ate two pieces in a row before putting down her chopsticks.

"The taste has not changed at all from before." She said, "You should try it too."

Lu Yunqi didn't move.

"I won't eat this." He said, "As long as the princess is happy."

Princess Jiuli picked up the chopsticks again.

"You don't want to eat this either. You don't like something so delicious. It's such a weird taste." She said, smiled, and looked at Lu Yunqi, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Remember what she said."

Who this she is, although it is not stated clearly, everyone present knows it in their hearts.

The girls and servants lowered their heads.

The atmosphere in the room was very peaceful. The couple sat and stood together, respecting each other as guests.

They are truly respectful to each other.

The marriage has not been consummated so far.

The maids and servants all knew it, and they did not hide it deliberately. It seemed that everything was taken for granted.

"As long as the princess is happy," Lu Yunqi said.

Princess Jiuli smiled and nodded.

"Okay." she said.

Lu Yunqi saluted.

"I'm going out first." He said.

Princess Jiuli nodded with a smile and watched Lu Yunqi walk out.

The girls and servants in the room held their breath and kept silent. Princess Jiuli was eating red bean cake with a peaceful expression.

"It's good to be married." She said, smiling at the maid beside her, "You can eat the red bean cake as you like from now on."

Is this a joke?

The servant girl laughed with him.

"The princess likes to ask you to keep the cook from Dingyuanhou's family." She said with a smile.

"A gentleman does not take what others like." Princess Jiuli said, finishing the last piece of red bean cake. "Besides, it would be boring to always eat the best things."

In any case, Princess Jiuli has a very good temper. She has the nobility of a princess, but not the condescending arrogance. She never scolds a servant for being upset.

The girls and servants gradually became less reserved in front of her.

Hearing what she said, the girls and servants all laughed.

"The princess is right," they all said.

Princess Jiuli put down her chopsticks, took the needle and thread aside, and continued to sit in front of the embroidery frame.

Princess Jiuli does not like reading and writing like other princesses. She only likes to do needlework and spends most of the day doing needlework.

The girls and servants in the house consciously packed up the dishes and went out.

A girl came to greet her in the yard.

"My lord has gone out again." She whispered.

The servant girl shook her head.

"Did you go there again?" she asked in a low voice.

The girl nodded.

The maid sighed again and turned to look at where Princess Jiuli was.

"But no matter what, my lord never spends the night outside." She said in a low voice, "I have just gotten married, and I am my aunt, so it's no wonder that I don't get used to it. I have a long life, and it would be nice to get more familiar with her."

The girl said oh, but her eyes were still worried.

"But those women outside..." she couldn't help but whisper, "there are more and more of them."

The maid glared at her.

"So what if there are too many? They are from outside. They don't have any status. They are just a toy." She said, "How can they compare with our princess? She is a princess and the emperor granted her a marriage."

The girl responded yes.

"Stop thinking nonsense, you're talking nonsense." The servant woman shouted in a low voice.

The girl hurriedly turned around and left.

The maid looked back and saw that Princess Jiuli's room was quiet and lonely.

At this time, the streets were as noisy and lively as ever.

Miss Jun stood in the crowd waiting for the vendor in front of her. The hot red bean cake had just come out of the pot. She was placed on the chopping board and quickly cut into small pieces with a big knife and put into a paper bag.

The crowd around them handed over their money one by one and received a paper packet.

Miss Jun finally got the last piece of the pot.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves on the street, and the crowded crowd dispersed like a tide. Miss Jun was swayed as she stood in the crowd, and the red bean cake in her hand fell to the ground.

"Hey, don't step on it," she shouted, trying her best to block the crowd around her.

"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, it's Lu Qianhu here." The crowd shouted noisily.

This sound made the crowded crowd even more confused. Miss Jun, who was bent over, was pushed back and watched as the red bean cake in the paper bag was trampled to pieces.

She raised her head and looked at Lu Yunqi, who was surrounded by royal guards and was speeding past on the street.

As Lu Yunqi passed by, the crowd poured into the street again, pointing and talking at the retreating imperial guards.

The stall here is much cleaner.

Miss Jun stood there and looked at the crushed red bean cake under her feet.

Once, she had a fight with her sister, so she deliberately dropped her sister's red bean cake and ran away. Her mother and her foster mother chased her around the garden to beat her.

Miss Jun lowered her head and squatted on the ground carefully trying to pick up the crushed red bean cake.

A pair of feet stopped on the edge of the crushed red bean cake.

One foot came up and touched her knee.

"Hey, hey."

Zhu Zan's voice fell from above his head.

Miss Jun raised her head and looked at Zhu Zan, who was standing beside her, blocking the sunlight. Her face could not be seen clearly in the mixture of light and dark.

"Don't be so embarrassed." His voice was full of disgust, "A noble young lady, a master who plays with money and throws it away, why are you pretending to be frugal?"
