Chapter 053

Zhan Yue's "hmm" was hummed with ups and downs, and the tone was very clear.

Jiashan couldn't help but look up at him. He had a kind face, his pupils were clear and round, and there was a gentle arc on his deeply wrinkled eyelids.

Jiashan's lips moved slightly, and he paused for a few seconds, but in the end he did not mention Zhao Youze's "merits and fame".

The two of them had just managed to get a little closer. If I told him that the prescription was not obtained by him, but by Zhao Youze after much trouble, Zhan Yue might start to overthink it.

Of course, Jiashan would never admit that she was actually moved by his impeccable face.

Jiashan asked, "Hmm what?"

"It's like he's asking me for candy." Jiashan tried to change the subject in a not-so-clever way.

Zhan Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jiashan looked at him and whispered, "Are you going to socialize tonight? If not, change into casual clothes."

Today, Zhan Yue and Jia Shan dressed up a bit solemnly because they were going to recognize their relatives. Jia Shan never wanted to compromise himself in such matters, so he changed into a simple jacket as soon as he returned to his room.

Zhan Yue had not changed his clothes yet because he had been chatting with her all the time.

When Jiashan entered the house yesterday, he noticed that there were not many maids serving in Zhan Yue's room. Even the maid named Jianlan who helped him dress this morning, when she got along with Zhan Yue, it was not difficult to see the unfamiliarity between the two and Jianlan's cautiousness.

The maids in his room must have been assigned to this room not long ago, and both the master and the servants are still in the adjustment period.

Thinking of this, Jiashan ordered Jianlan to get a piece of clothes that Zhan Yue usually wore, and sent all the maids away, as if he was going to help him change his clothes himself.

Zhao Youze couldn't see that when he was a child, Jiashan was somewhat worried about him living alone in Changle Palace and often went to visit him. Therefore, Jiashan was not as clueless as other princesses in taking care of people's diet and daily life.

Zhan Yue's eyes paused, and he saw her intention from her actions. He stared at her for a moment: "Will you help me?"

Jiashan said, “Yes.”

Then he instructed him, "Turn around."

Zhan Yue raised his eyes to look at her, then turned around obediently.

His figure was slim and strong. When Jiashan half-bent his waist, it was almost as high as his chest. After helping him take off his coat, Jiashan asked him to turn around and helped Zhan Yue button up his clothes. However, the belt of this coat was a bit difficult to tie. It could be solved with a simple knot, but Jiashan tied it back and forth four or five times, and the belt was still loose.

At this time, Zhan Yue still lowered his head and looked at her intently.

His breath was as fragrant as orchid, and the cool aura lingered around him. Occasionally, Jiashan's hair would even touch Zhan Yue's proud and smooth chin.

It feels a little itchy, a little numb... and a little crispy.

"Let me do it." When Jiashan tried to tie his belt for the fourth time, Zhan Yue finally spoke calmly.

His slender fingers pulled the belt out of Jiashan's hand. His voice was clear and pleasant: "You are not good at it, but you are still showing off."

"You made me think that our princess really knows everything." Zhan Yue's delicate eyebrows curved slightly.

His hands were white and dexterous, and he tied the belt into a beautiful knot in no time.

Seeing Jiashan's red lips moving as if she wanted to say something, Zhan Yue took the lead and placed his index finger on her small mouth.

Zhan Yue's red lips curled slightly, he blinked and said, "I was wrong. I knew last night that the princess is not born knowing everything."

"Some things need to be taught by others." Zhan Yue said with a smile, and he looked at Jiashan without blinking.

His long eyelashes half-hang under his eyelids, and his face is as beautiful as jade.

But behind this clean appearance, there were scenes of eroticism and touching scenes from last night. Jiashan was embarrassed and soon understood what Zhan Yue was talking about.

This time, even a flawless face could not hide Jiashan's shame and anger.

Her eyes were bright and she was about to open her mouth, but Zhan Yue suddenly tiptoed and brought Jiashan into his arms.

He held her waist with one hand and gently stroked her hair with the other: "But you don't have to know everything."

"There are people who are willing to treat you as a treasure." Zhan Yue said, "Do you know?"

Jiashan was half-hugged by Zhan Yue, with his head resting gently on his shoulder in a delicate posture. The two of them were close to each other, so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

Jiashan discovered that Zhan Yue's heartbeat was very strong and powerful, as if it was always fresh and passionate.

What kind of person did she marry?

Jiashan raised his eyes, following his handsome jawline, and looking at his clear and handsome features.

Zhan Yue seemed to have noticed something, and when she looked over, he lazily kissed the dimple on the side of her cheek. With this action, he silently swallowed the second half of the sentence that he had not yet said -

"If anyone bullies you, I will help you beat that person into a rotten dog head without any reason.

"Do you know?"

"You don't have to know." Zhan Yue thought.

The next day, Jiashan and Zhan Yue went to visit her "mother-in-law" whom she had never met but whose name was well-known to her.

Since Fu Shiyu married into the Anguo Mansion, she would be buried in the Zhan family after her death.

When Jiashan paid tribute to her, he could not help but feel happy for her but also sorry for her.

Fu Shiyu was just a concubine, and according to the rules, she could not enjoy the "honor" of living in the same tomb with the Duke of Anguo. But because of this place, she was given a hundred years of peace, so that she would not be entangled in trivial matters in the underworld.

After offering incense to Fu Shiyu, Zhan Yue was in a bad mood, and his usually clear eyes could not hide the depth. Jia Shan knew that he was remembering the past, and was afraid that he would think too much, so before getting on the carriage, Jia Shan deliberately hooked his finger and said with a smile: "It's a rare opportunity for you to come out, take me around the capital. I was always in the palace before, so I didn't have the opportunity to see it."

"Lord Yanqing holds the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, so he must be very familiar with the layout of the capital. How about letting the carriage go around a circle before returning to the palace?" Jiashan asked with a smile.

She smiled sweetly and spoke in a gentle voice. Zhan Yue's expression softened a little. He said in a low voice, "Okay."

Although Zhan Yue didn't go out often, he grew up in a circle of noblemen. He also had friends who had researched which streets in Beijing were the busiest and had the most delicious food.

Even though Zhan Yue couldn't know all of these, he knew them by heart. But he changed his mind and didn't take Jiashan to the more prosperous streets in Beijing, but told the driver to take a quieter road.

Zhan Yue lifted the curtain and pointed to a mansion in the distance and said, "This is the Five Armies Commander's Mansion. When my rest is over, if you have something important to talk to me about, you can send someone to the palace to look for me and come here to say hello."

The Five Military Commandery had the power to mobilize troops throughout the country. It was a place of high authority and was built in a very solemn and imposing manner, which was consistent with its authority.

Jiashan had never been to the Five Armies Commandery in her life. She also didn't expect that the first place Zhan Yue would bring her to would be here. She immediately said, "Okay."

Zhan Yue then told the driver to start the journey, and took her to several official positions, all of which were prestigious. For example, the Dali Temple, the Governor of the Nine Gates, the Jingzhao Prefecture, the Ministry of Justice, etc.

I don’t know what Zhan Yue was thinking that led her into such a mess.

Jiashan felt that Zhan Yue was full of thoughts, but at the same time, she felt that he might understand her very well. As a girl, Jiashan did not dare to get involved in the government.

However, because of Zhao Youze's fate and the worry about the ending of the previous life, Jiashan had to devote some of his attention to testing the edge of danger.

Last time, she spoke directly to her father about the succession to the throne, which was an act of usurpation. Did Zhan Yue see through her and want to comfort her?

Jiashan pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

The carriage stopped again.

Zhan Yue lifted the curtain this time with some hesitation.

His pupils were dark, and he pointed a finger, saying, "This is your princess's mansion."

"Do you want to get off the car and take a look?" Zhan Yue paused for a moment before continuing.

Jiashan was startled, and a little head popped out from behind the curtain.

Her princess's mansion was decorated very simply, and from a distance, it looked less imposing than the century-old Anguo Mansion. Jiashan smiled calmly, without any resentment in her heart, because she understood that this was a sign of her father's love for her.

If the emperor mobilized a large number of troops to build a princess's mansion, I'm afraid those scholars would have something to do.

She was about to say "Let's go and take a look together", but she saw Zhan Yue's hand that was lifting the curtain still standing there motionless, his transparent nails shining like a crow in the sunlight.

Jiashan was stunned and silent for a moment.

The Princess's Mansion was a place for her to make a living. After she got married in her previous life, she only felt safe and secure when she was actually in the Princess's Mansion. But if she lived in the Princess's Mansion, Zhan Yue would have to register through official channels if he wanted to visit her, and even the number of times he stayed in her mansion each month had to be reported to others.

Sounds like a male pet...

Zhan Shaoying had been reluctant to come here often before because of this. He always felt that after going through all these procedures, he would be like a concubine favored by the emperor.

I wonder if Zhan Yue thinks the same way?

Jiashan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and her lips half opened: "No need."

"Come back in a few days," Jiashan said, "There's no rush."

Zhan Yue raised his eyes and turned his head to look at her. He felt a lump in his chest and was very uncomfortable.

He was about to open his mouth when he heard someone knock on the carriage a few times: "Is that the eldest princess and her husband inside?"

"I am Xiang Hua, a servant, and I have something urgent to discuss with you two."

The voice had an indelible high-pitched sound, and one could tell it was from the eunuch in the palace.

Why would the eunuch come to see them at this time?

Zhan Yue and Jia Shan looked at each other, then Zhan Yue opened the car curtain with one hand, looked at Xiang Hua and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiang Hua smiled and said, "Greetings to the Prince Consort. Is the eldest princess here? This is a great joyous event. Banban has instructed me to report this to the princess in person."

Jiashan actually had an impression of Xiang Hua. She vaguely remembered that he was a little eunuch beside Chen Gong. When she heard him call "Banban", she also half-leaved her body out of the carriage.

"I'm here, go ahead." Jiashan said.

Xiang Hua smiled and kowtowed twice to Jiashan and Zhan Yue: "The eldest princess really made it easy for me to find her."

"There's news from the palace that the Fourth Prince's eyesight has improved. Congratulations, Princess." Xiang Hua was a smart man. Now, his eyes were full of joy and smiles. He said in a brisk tone, "Your Majesty, please come to the palace."
