Although she knew that such a good thing could not be determined by just one bracelet, just seeing her wearing it, she found it very pleasing to the eye.
Xu Mingyi nodded - speaking of it, she had received a lot of dowry items from the elders of Wu Chao's family. Previously it was a pair of hairpins from the Queen Mother, and today it was a bracelet from the Queen Mother.
"By the way, didn't you go back before?" She turned to Wu Chao and asked.
After the incident happened in the mausoleum, he arrived quickly, wearing the same robe he wore when delivering food to her.
Wu Chao did not deny it: "I stayed outside the temple for a while."
Although Xiao Wu and others were there, he was still a little worried about leaving her alone in the royal mausoleum without Ah Zhu by her side. He thought that it was not too cold in the summer night, and it was not even close to dawn.
After an hour, I planned to stay outside the temple until dawn before leaving.
Who knew something would happen so soon.
"It doesn't have to be like this next time." Xu Mingyi said with a smile: "If I need you to guard me, I will tell you directly."
Wu Chao nodded in agreement on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Just like raising a daughter, you must be cautious. There are many things that adults don't have to do just because children say they don't need them.
"No, you have to say more. The princess is still waiting for me." Xu Mingyi poked his head out and glanced at his friend who was waiting there, and said: "You should also go back and rest early, so that you can recuperate enough to deal with what may happen next.
matter."
"Okay, have a good sleep. You don't have to get up early tomorrow."
"That's what I meant." The girl said to him in a brisk tone: "I'm leaving."
Wu Chao nodded and watched her go to Princess Yufeng before he walked out from behind the banana bushes.
"How many times do we have to see each other in a day...I came out here just to cover you two?"
Princess Yufeng quietly twisted her friend's arm and spoke in a sour tone.
"Walking."
Xu Mingyi pushed her hand away and reminded in a low voice.
Princess Yufeng took her hand back, but she still kept talking: "If you two really get married in the future, then I will be the matchmaker, and I will have to ask Wu Haokan for a reward..."
Faced with this kind of topic, Xu Mingyi showed no shyness as a girl should. Instead, she said seriously: "There is no need for him. I will personally wrap you a ten thousand tael red envelope to express my gratitude."
"...Why do I suddenly feel so guilty? It seems like I'm helping you deceive a handsome young man."
Seeing someone coming outside the temple gate ahead, Xu Mingyi gently tugged on the corner of her clothes to signal her friend to quiet down.
At this time, everyone left the mausoleum temple and returned to the palace. However, these people wanted to enter the temple, and they were dressed as ordinary servants, which was undoubtedly a bit strange. Under this circumstance, Xu Mingyi paid more attention.
"Your Majesty has issued an order that no one is allowed to enter the mausoleum temple again."
The guards guarding outside the temple stopped the people.
"Brother, guard, we are here to find my lord." A servant at the front said politely: "Since we can't get in, we'll just wait here."
Listening to his pleasant tone, the guard asked one more question: "Who are you looking for?"
"Our master is the Secretary of the Ministry of War."
"Ji Shangshu?" the guard said without hesitation: "The man has left just now. Didn't you see it when you came?"
"My adults have left?"
"That's what happened just now. We left together with a young adult."
The servant quickly thanked him.
Perhaps it was the dark night and the fact that the master was wearing regular clothes, so they couldn't see clearly for a while.
Seeing the three servants turning to leave, Xu Mingyi recognized Ji Wanyou among them at a glance.
Ji Wanyou also saw her.
"..." Their eyes met for a moment, and the two people who had sneaked in disguised as servants looked at each other, but neither of them said anything.
Although Ji Wanyou was confused, she immediately followed the two servants and left quickly.
Just as the guard said, not long after Ji Xiu left, several people quickly caught up with him.
"master."
Hearing the servant's voice, Ji Xiu stopped and looked back, and immediately saw his daughter walking towards him holding a lantern.
"Miss Ji." Zhan Yunzhu had a slight smile on his lips, his voice was neither soft nor strong, and was as gentle as the sound of jade stones hitting each other.
Ji Wanyou's heart beat a few times, and uncontrollable joy quickly rose in her heart.
She had thought a lot these days and had a lot of questions, but at this moment, the other party's words of "Miss Ji" almost made all the defenses she had built up in her heart collapse.
Looking at the two people's eyes connecting, Ji Xiu wished he could take a pair of scissors, cut off this invisible thread, and then light a fire to burn it all!
"Who allowed you to bring the girl out?" Ji Xiu glanced at the servants on the side.
"It was my daughter who heard that her father was here and was a little worried about him, so she decided to come and have a look." Ji Wanyou explained in a low voice.
"What's there to worry about?" Ji Xiu sighed heavily: "Go back quickly and stop messing around."
Ji Wanyou nodded and said no more.
Zhan Yunzhu looked at her and said with a smile: "Miss Ji has always been very careful. She must be really worried about you."
He added: "Since Miss Ji is here, you can go for a walk in the garden to the north of the palace in your free time. The scenery there is quite beautiful. There is a lotus pond in the southwest corner, and a pond of water lilies is in full bloom."
Listening to this sentence and looking at the young man's gentle, sincere and calm eyebrows, Ji Wanyou couldn't explain how she felt.
He still remembers her Ailian...
She should have been happy about this.
But the more this happened, the more she couldn't help but think - if all of this was really just a deliberately crafted scam, wouldn't the person in front of her be too scary?
"Okay." Ji Xiu said impatiently to break up the uncomfortable atmosphere, and glanced at Zhan Yunzhu - he could come wherever there were water lilies in the palace. The eunuchs working in this palace
I’m afraid I don’t know as much as he does!
"If you have anything to say, we'll discuss it some other time. I'll take this naughty daughter back first."
After saying these words, Ji Xiu took Ji Wanyou and walked away.
Ji Wanyou lowered her head and followed behind her father. After walking a certain distance, she unconsciously slowed down and turned back quietly.
In her sight, the man wearing a blue official robe was still standing where he was, watching her silently.
Seeing her turn around, a smile appeared on the man's face.
Ji Wanyou tightened her fingers slightly, her heart filled with emotions.
After returning to his residence in the palace with his father, Ji Wanyou lay on the bed and was lost in thought.
In this courtyard, there were two rooms for servants to rest, so one room was set aside for her to live alone.
And there is always a servant guarding her door, who will follow her wherever she goes.
Not long after, the sky outside the window gradually became brighter.
Listening to the faint snoring of the servant standing outside the room, Ji Wanyou stood up gently.
