People outside the palace, whether they are married women or members of the clan, are not allowed to bring servants into the inner palace.
However, Princess Yufeng in the pavilion is an exception.
Firstly, her behavior has always been this way, and secondly, the princess has a bad temper and is picky, and the people in the palace find it hard to please her... The current empress is generous and dotes on Princess Yufeng.
It was partly to protect other palace residents from harm, so I agreed to it.
Seeing Xu Mingyi holding up the hem of her skirt and almost jogging towards her, Princess Yufeng who was originally sitting stood up inexplicably nervously.
And the other party's weirdness did not disappoint her. After walking quickly into the pavilion, he actually hugged her.
Xu Mingyi hugged her friend contentedly.
After such a trip back, I finally hugged everyone I wanted to hug today.
Princess Yufeng was very surprised. After a while, she came to her senses, pushed the person away, and hurriedly tried the other person's forehead with the back of her hand.
"It doesn't look like your brain is burned out..." Princess Yufeng frowned at her and whispered with worry: "I also heard that you have been quite close to your stepmother and brother recently...Xu Zhaozhao, you
Is there something wrong in the brain? Or is it that poison is specifically harmful to people's brains?"
"I'm fine."
Xu Mingyi took her hand and sat down, smiling and saying: "I just figured out some things."
Princess Yufeng followed her and sat down dubiously.
Two maids stood behind Xu Mingyi without leaving any trace, deliberately not to be seen by outsiders.
Xu Mingyi noticed their familiar movements and couldn't help but smile.
In the past, when she and Jiao Jiao met, she would always avoid other people, and they would never sign their names when giving gifts to each other. As a result, although the two of them were the best friends of each other, they were never known to outsiders.
"You just saved the prince..." Princess Yufeng asked: "How come I didn't know you could do this before?"
"I've been busy at home these days, so I just read some medical books with A Kui." Xu Mingyi explained casually.
Princess Yufeng glanced at her and didn't ask any further questions.
After all, that's not what she's most concerned about -
"You are so open to talking to me now, but you don't want your reputation anymore?" She looked at Xu Mingyi seriously, her tone as if an elder was admonishing a junior.
Yes, she cares about her reputation, and she doesn't care about outsiders' opinions and comments, but she can't ignore her friend's reputation.
After all, she can't impose her own ideas and way of living on others.
This is also the reason why the two of them have pretended not to be familiar with each other over the years.
She didn't want Xu Mingyi to be criticized by those stupid and meddlesome people because of his friendship with her.
"How come you don't want to be famous?" Xu Mingyi asked her: "Are those young ladies who are trying their best to be friends with you determined not to want to be famous?"
"That's what I say...but isn't there another saying that says people are divided into groups?"
"If they really want to discuss it, let them discuss it." Xu Mingyi smiled and said, "I don't care about this anyway."
After Princess Yufeng was startled, she asked again: "Aren't you afraid of affecting your marriage?"
From the first day she planned to raise her face, she sat down with Xu Zhaozhao and had a serious discussion. Xu Zhaozhao also didn't care much about what others said. At that time, she also admired the other person's open-mindedness and open-mindedness.
Courageous, but then this stinky girl suddenly said nervously - Jiaojiao, it can't be done, I almost forgot one thing, I will get married in the future!
Xu Zhaozhao was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, but he was already thought deeply and lived a very practical life.
And after saying that, he did not forget to comfort her and said - even if he gets married and has children in the future, he will not alienate her. He asked her to just take care of her face and not to suppress herself because of cherishing the friendship between the two.
The pursuit of...
This girl has felt that she is very important since she was a child, and no one around her can do without her.
"It's a matter of marriage..." Xu Mingyi seemed to think seriously for a while and said unhurriedly: "In the past, I thought that as the only daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, I should go the way I should, so that I can call my family home.
Peace of mind. But this time after being poisoned and seriously ill, I can see clearly that I am safe and happy, and my family can truly feel at ease. As for getting married, it may not be something that must be done."
Isn't it good to be reunited with your own family? Why do you have to marry into a completely unfamiliar environment just to get married?
She was lucky enough to be born in the Zhenguo Palace, with an enlightened grandfather, a mother who truly doted on her, and...a father who had little say.
As for the second uncle, he had no position to urge her to get married.
"..." Princess Yufeng was surprised for a long time after hearing these words, and said: "Xu Zhaozhao... you finally figured it out! So, from now on we can walk together openly?!"
Xu Mingyi nodded, but inexplicably felt that these words sounded a little strange - it seemed like the young lady and the young man had secretly had a secret meeting, and finally made up their mind to reveal their relationship to the world...
Princess Yufeng looked excited and happy.
Of course she won't force her friends to follow the same path as her, but if her friends suddenly become enlightened and are willing to live happily with her, that would be great!
The girl immediately stood up and took Xu Mingyi's hand, saying: "Let's go, I'll take you to visit the tavern! You saved the prince today, think of it as a reward for yourself!"
The invitation came so suddenly that Xu Mingyi was shocked and said quickly: "It's not necessary..."
She just said that she didn’t have to get married, and she didn’t say that she had to go to a small shop!
"What?" Princess Yufeng raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "Don't you have the courage?"
Xu Mingyi coughed lightly: "No, it's because I'm not blessed..."
She had also followed Jiao Jiao to secretly meet her friends. One of them, a rather handsome young man, gave her a gentle and shy look when he handed her tea.
She got goosebumps - the last time she felt that way was when she accidentally scratched the back of a rusty knife with her fingernail and made a sharp and harsh sound...
Therefore, she is really not someone who can imitate others' appearance.
"Why don't I believe it?"
Princess Yufeng glanced not far away, blinked, and said: "But that's right... If there is such a handsome young man waiting for me, I'm afraid I won't be in the mood to visit the tavern.
"
The Prince of Dingnan, Shisun, is a bit more handsome than the number one in the most famous tavern in Beijing.
Xu Mingyi was confused after hearing this, but still subconsciously raised his eyes and looked over.
Not far ahead, under a lush laurel tree, a tall young man stood with his hands behind his back.
Although his back was turned to them, the young man had a noble and distinguished temperament. Even with this hazy glance, no one could mistake him.
"With such a blessing, you still say you are not blessed."
Princess Yufeng sighed: "It's hard to keep people waiting for such a rare beauty."
After saying that, he left a meaningful look and left with the maid.
Xu Mingyi ignored his friend's frivolous jokes and did not deliberately avoid it. He immediately put down the tea cup, left the pavilion, and walked towards the figure.
