Chapter 156 But That Old Taste



It's you again.

Miss Jun also wanted to say this.

"Prince Zhu, what a coincidence." She said to Zhu Zan.

Zhu Zan glared at her and pointed at her.

"You should stop now," he said. "I'm not interested in married women."

Miss Jun laughed.

I have no idea how he comes up with his opening remarks every time.

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

Zhu Zan sneered and stood away.

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

After saying that, he turned and left.

Miss Jun smiled, but what was he doing here?

She watched Zhu Zan walk away, then glanced at the alley behind the Guan Temple not far away, and followed him.

"Zhu Zan." she shouted.

Zhu Zan still seemed not to hear and quickened his pace.

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

Zhu Zan simply ran, and Miss Jun also ran.

"Zhu Zan, if you run again I will scream," she shouted.

call?

What are you shouting?

Shouting "molest"? He did shout that in Runan before, what was the result?

"We are in the capital now, don't think it is Runan." Zhu Zan stopped, turned around, and stopped 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. How come I keep bumping into you wherever I go?" Miss Jun asked with a smile, "Is this fate?"

Zhu Zan drank and laughed dryly.

"There is no such thing as fate in this world. There is only deliberate action." He said, and then stopped laughing. "What on earth do you want to do by following me?"

deliberately?

She really didn't mean to follow him, but who knows why she always runs into him.

Doing it on purpose, are they doing the same thing?

This is even more impossible.

Miss Jun smiled.

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

Zhu Zan stared at her, then turned around and said "Pooh".

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

"You know that. 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, but the interruption also helped to relieve her depression. She walked slowly along the street.

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

Watching a maid put a small plate in front of her, Princess Jiuli smiled as she looked at the red bean cakes cut into small square pieces.

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

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

"Yes, it's from the Dingyuan Marquis family." She raised her eyes and looked to the side.

Lu Yunqi, who was standing aside, nodded when he heard this.

"The princess is so smart. His Excellency specially invited a cook from the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion to make this." The maid said with a smile.

Princess Jiuli said nothing and ate two pieces in succession before putting down her chopsticks.

"It tastes exactly the same as before," she said. "Try it, too."

Lu Yunqi did not 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 eat this either. You don't like such delicious food. What a weird taste." She said. She smiled and looked at Lu Yunqi, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Remember what she said."

Although no one pointed out who she was, everyone present knew it in their hearts.

The maids lowered their heads.

The atmosphere in the room was peaceful. The couple, one sitting and the other standing, treated each other with respect.

They truly treat each other with respect.

The marriage has not been consummated yet.

The maids and servants all knew about it, and they did not try to hide it, as if it was all natural.

"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 maids and servants in the room held their breath and kept silent, while Princess Jiuli ate the red bean cake with a peaceful expression.

"It's good to be married," she said, smiling at the maid beside her, "You can eat red bean cakes as much as you want from now on."

Is this a joke?

The maid smiled along.

"The princess would like you to keep the cook from Marquis Dingyuan's family." She said with a smile.

"A gentleman does not take away what others like." Princess Jiuli said, finishing the last piece of red bean cake. "Besides, no matter how good something is, it will be boring if you keep eating it."

No matter what, Princess Jiuli had a particularly good temper. She had the nobility of a princess, but not the arrogance of looking down on others. She never scolded or made things difficult for her servants.

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

Hearing her say this, the maids and servants all laughed.

"The princess has a point," they all said.

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

Princess Jiuli was not like other princesses who loved reading and writing. She only liked needlework and spent most of her time doing it.

The maids and servants in the room quietly cleaned up the dishes and walked out.

A maid came to greet them in the yard.

"The master has gone out again," she whispered.

The maid shook her head.

"Are you going 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, adults never stay overnight outside." She whispered, "It's no wonder that she's not used to it since she just got married and she's my aunt. She still has a long life to live, so it'll be nice to get to know her better."

The girl said "oh" but there was still worry in her eyes.

"But there are more and more women out there..." She couldn't help but whisper.

The maid glared at her.

"So what if there are more? They are from outside, without any status, just a toy." She said, "How can they be compared with our princess? She is a princess, and the emperor gave her a marriage."

The girl replied yes.

"Stop having these wild thoughts and talking nonsense," the maid whispered.

The girl turned around and left.

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

At this time, the streets were as bustling and bustling as usual.

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

The crowd around handed over money one by one and received a paper bag.

Miss Jun finally got the last piece of the pot.

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds on the street, and the crowded crowd dispersed like a tide. Miss Jun was standing in the crowd and was squeezed to and fro, and the red bean cake in her hand fell to the ground.

"Hey, don't step on it." She shouted and tried her best to block the crowd around her.

"Stop making noise, stop making noise, Lu Qianhu is here." The crowd shouted noisily.

The sound made the crowded crowd even more chaotic. Miss Jun was pushed back as she bent over, watching the red bean cake in the paper package being trampled to pieces.

She raised her head and watched Lu Yunqi, surrounded by the Jinyi Guards, rushing past on the street.

As Lu Yunqi drove past, the crowds poured into the streets again, pointing and talking about the departing Royal Guards.

The area in front of the stall here is much cleaner.

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

Once, when she was quarreling with her elder sister, she deliberately dropped her sister's red bean cake and then ran away. Her mother and foster mother chased her around the garden and wanted 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 beside the red bean cake that had been crushed into paste.

One foot rose 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 and blocking the sunlight. Her face could not be seen clearly in the mixture of light and darkness.

"Don't be so embarrassed." His voice was full of disgust. "You are a lady from Deshengchang, and you are just playing with money. Why are you pretending to be frugal?"
