Chapter 71 Refugees 2
After eating the sweet and soft milk rolls, Chen Lu felt that it was the most exquisite and delicious food he had eaten in more than 20 years.
The carriage traveled for another quarter of an hour before arriving at the main gate of Shangjing City. At the main entrance, people from the Jinyiwei and the Five Cities Military Department were on high alert, strictly checking passers-by. Seeing Yin Zijin and his group coming towards them in a mighty manner, two soldiers hurriedly stopped them and heard that they were from Yin's residence.
The soldiers all became respectful and quickly said politely: "So you are from the Yin Mansion. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that Madam was coming, so he specially invited Madam to come and have a chat."
After hearing what the soldier said, Zhang quickly helped Madam Qi get off the carriage and said humbly, "I dare not trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come. I will take the Sixth Miss to pay my respects and say hello."
Then he instructed Madam Qi: "Go and ask the Sixth Miss to get off the carriage."
After Yin Zijin had eaten his fill, he became drowsy again due to his weak body and injuries, but his sleep was very light. When the carriage stopped, Yin Zijin was awakened and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? To Fu'an..."
Before she finished her words, she heard Nanny Qi's voice coming from outside: "Sixth Miss, please get off the carriage and go with Madam to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Madam Zhou quickly put a white veil on Yin Zijin and said, "Miss, please get off the carriage! When you meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later, you must follow the rules and be polite."
After saying that, Nanny Zhou helped Yin Zijin out of the carriage. After they got out of the carriage, Yin Zijin saw Chen Lu kneeling beside the carriage, acting as a stool. When he saw Yin Zijin get out of the carriage, he whispered, "Sixth Miss, please get out of the carriage."
Yin Zijin clenched the handkerchief in her hand, held on to Nanny Qi's hand, and got off the carriage. Soon after, Nanny Zhou and Aunt Wang also got off the carriage.
Before leaving, Yin Zijin whispered: "Thank you for your hard work. This shouldn't be the case..."
Yin Zijin quickly came to Zhang's side, bowed and said, "Mother."
"Let's go! Let's go meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Observe the rules and etiquette." After saying that, he walked forward.
Yin Zijin was weak and injured, so Nanny Zhou quickly helped Yin Zijin walk towards the temporary command post where Sheng Yixuan was. Yin Zijin's fair and tender little hands were wearing silver armor, and those fair and tender little hands alone were enough to attract people's attention. The delicate pink skirt barely covered her small feet. Yin Zijin was influenced by the rules she had learned from years of training and could only walk lightly so as not to let her small feet show through her skirt.
The slender and soft waist appears more upright when restrained by the tube top she wears. It makes people want to see what a young lady from a wealthy family looks like? It was just that the white veil just blocked everyone's view.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the temporary command post appeared in front of Yin Jin. Officials and soldiers were coming in and out of the temporary command post, looking very busy.
Seeing Zhang and her group coming, a soldier dressed as a guard came forward and said, "Madam, please."
Not long after, Zhang brought Yin to a temporary place that seemed to be for entertaining guests. The guard said quickly: "Madam, please sit down and have some hot tea."
Not long after, a tall, strong, and powerful young man with a good figure and noble air, wearing a black robe with a golden python pattern and his hair tied with a golden crown, walked in.
Zhang quickly pulled Yin Zijin to kneel down and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Madam Zhou took off the veil on Yin Zijin's head, and Zhang said hurriedly: "Zijin, quickly pay your respects to His Highness. Raise your head so that His Highness can see it."
When Zhang first learned that she would have to pay a visit to the Crown Prince, she already had a plan in mind. She wanted Yin Zijin to get to know the Crown Prince early and develop a relationship with him. Then everything would fall into place.
Yin Zijin was confused, but couldn't help being curious and wanted to see what the Crown Prince, who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else in the Great Sheng Dynasty, looked like. Yin Zijin had read many history books and knew that there were only a handful of crown princes who ascended the throne in Chinese history. I wonder if this Crown Prince will be able to ascend the throne in the end?
So he complied with Zhang's request, raised his head, and looked at the Crown Prince in front of him inquiringly. Their eyes met inadvertently. Suddenly a wonderful atmosphere spread out.
Yin Zijin couldn't help but think that Sheng Yixuan was worthy of being the Crown Prince. Having been in a high position for a long time, after years of immersion, he unconsciously had an aura of majesty without anger. That feeling of looking down on everything from a high position made Yin Zijin feel timid in an instant.
Sheng Yixuan looked at Yin Zijin's eyes, which were as gentle as water, and his heart trembled for some reason. He said with a smile: "Madam, please stand up! Although the girl is young, she is very brave! In the current Great Sheng Dynasty, the girl is the only one who dares to look me in the eye."
Zhang stood up quickly and apologized: "The Sixth Miss is still young, I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will take more care of her. The Sixth Miss is weak, I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will take more care of my Sixth Miss in the future."
If Sheng Yixuan still didn't understand Zhang's meaning at this moment, he would be a fool. Asking him to examine the Sixth Young Lady in such a high-profile manner clearly meant that she wanted to send the Sixth Young Lady to the Eastern Palace in the future. Seeing that Yin Zijin was only 6 years old, Sheng Yixuan felt that she was too young. However, he was also very interested in Yin Zijin. It would be good to marry Yin Zijin in the future and get the help of Yin's family.
So Sheng Yixuan said something ambiguous to Zhang: "Madam, you are too polite. Jingyi and Madam have asked me to take good care of the Sixth Miss. Although the Sixth Miss is weak and young, she is also a wonderful person."
Yin Zijin had lived in the Great Sheng Dynasty for nearly six years, and he knew that the Great Sheng Dynasty had strict etiquette and morals. Now Zhang was doing this, and it was obvious that she was trying to match him with the Crown Prince. As she was thinking, for some reason, Yin Zijin's chest suddenly felt hot, numb and itchy. Yin Zijin felt so uncomfortable that he moaned unconsciously.
Yin Zijin quickly shut up, her face flushed with shame, and she angrily said in her heart: "Yin Zijin, what are you doing? Look where you are? I can't even control my body now."
Yin Zijin quickly explained: "Zijin was rude, the wound hurt again, Zijin couldn't help it."
Sheng Yixuan said in a rare gentle voice: "It's okay. I heard from Jing Yi about the Sixth Miss's matter. I brought some excellent medicine from the palace. I will give it to the young lady later!
oh! By the way, madam. Jing Yi Tuo Gu will take care of you. Although the refugees outside the city have been controlled and resettled, there is no guarantee that nothing might go wrong. Madam and Sixth Miss should travel light.
It’s better not to bring the four carriages of gift bags, just take some personal items. So as to avoid being too conspicuous and being targeted by vagrants and bandits. ”
Zhang hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will send the four carriages back to the mansion and go to Fu'an Temple with Miss Six."
