Chapter 165 A Person's Courtyard
Nan Yan staggered for a while and finally stood firm. When she turned around, she saw a young man standing behind her.
"Who are you--"
Nan Yan looked him up and down. The man was very young, only about twenty years old. He was dressed in very gorgeous clothes. The jade hairpin on his head and the jade pendant around his waist were also extraordinary. It was obvious at first glance that he was a nobleman.
However, the nobleman still held her hand.
Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, but his palms were very warm, and coupled with his tight grip, his scorching body temperature instantly passed through the thin clothes and reached Nan Yan's skin, making her feel a little hot.
Nan Yan quickly pulled her hand back.
The man immediately let go and said with a smile, "I was in a hurry. Please forgive me for the offense."
Seeing the other party so frank, Nan Yan also breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "I dare not. I should thank you very much, young master."
After saying that, he turned and left.
But when she turned around, she was dumbfounded again. She had been following Zhu Feng yesterday and knew nothing about the situation in Prince Jing's Mansion. She didn't know where she should go to rest.
Just when she was hesitant, the man slowly walked up to her, smiled and said, "Miss, if you have any difficulties, tell me and I can help you."
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at him.
From an ordinary person's perspective, this young man is not ugly, and his facial features can be called handsome, but he is too thin, which makes his cheekbones protrude high, and his hard, hooked nose makes his face look even more sinister.
Nan Yan instinctively didn't want to get close to this person, but when she looked around, there was no one around, so she had no choice but to ask him for help.
So she said, "I am a lady-in-waiting to the Emperor, and I want to find a place for us to rest."
"Oh, it's the lady-in-waiting. Excuse me."
The man saluted her again, and Nan Yan hurriedly returned the salute.
The young man stood up and said with a smile, "Then, I will take the lady-in-waiting there."
"Thank you for your help."
Nan Yan followed him forward, looking at the scenery around Prince Jing's Mansion along the way. When she came here yesterday, it was dark and she didn't pay attention. Only now did she see that the scenery inside the mansion was picturesque and the various pavilions and towers were very exquisite. It was obvious that Prince Jing's life was luxurious.
Thinking of Zhu Feng in the imperial city, who didn't even let go of the soup after dinner, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
At this time, they walked through the flower hall and came to a courtyard.
Nan Yan looked up and saw that the yard was very quiet and clean. There was a maple tree in the garden and some flowers and plants planted in a row of flower beds against the wall, which looked very elegant.
The three houses inside are also tall and spacious.
But Nan Yan frowned as soon as she saw it: "Is this where we rest in Prince Jing's Mansion?"
The man smiled and said, "Exactly."
"But, what about the others? Why aren't they here?"
"You, my lady-in-waiting, are naturally different from other palace maids. Why would Prince Jing allow you to live with so many people and suffer injustice?"
“…”
"This place is specially arranged for the lady-in-waiting."
“…”
Nan Yan's brows furrowed even tighter.
How could it be possible for Zhu Xuan to arrange a courtyard just for himself?
It was clearly me who offended him in the Imperial Garden before. It was good enough that he didn't cut me into pieces. How could he be so nice to me?
