Chapter 55: Second Prince Yuan Zhen

The weather is getting unreasonably hot.

The willow trees in the garden provide shade and the fragrance of flowers fills the air.

Even the lotus pond where someone died still blooms lotus flowers that never fade in summer.

The little lotus has just shown its pointed tip, and a dragonfly has already landed on it.

Some are white, some are pink, some have not yet bloomed, and some have already budded and are in full bloom.

"Little girls like these, break off two and give them to them," Yun Ju'an ordered.

Thinking of the beautiful girl in her past, I think she would like her too.

Ever since Lian Xue mentioned one last time, she has been unwilling to show any affection, but it doesn’t matter. Yun Zhuan can just wait and boil the frog in warm water.

There is nothing she can't get.

But she didn't expect that the way she admired the lotus flowers on the shore would also become a scenery in the eyes of others.

"Lu'e, let's go to the pavilion in the center of the lake from that path." Yun Zhuan whispered, "We should be able to pick lotus flowers in the center of the lake, right?"

Lu'e nodded, very nervous: "Miss, why don't you wait here for a moment, I will pick it for you."

Before Yun Zhuan could say anything, a bunch of lotus flowers appeared in front of him.

"Is this what the princess wants?" The voice was clear and it was not hard to imagine that the girl's appearance was not bad.

Yun Ju'an was a little surprised and subconsciously turned his head to look over. He saw a face that was 50% similar to Yuan Yao's, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and was very masculine.

"Is it the Second Prince?" Yun Ju'an looked a little flustered and stepped back slightly, putting some distance between the two of them.

Yuan Zhen had never expected that the little girl in front of him could guess his identity so quickly. He touched his face with amusement:

"Why? Does it look too much like Yaoyao's face?"

Ripples are rising on the lake, and a gentle breeze blows through the willows.

I don’t know whose heart is being disturbed, but it is definitely not peaceful.

The little girl lowered her head slightly, revealing her most harmless side: "I think there are still some differences between the princess and Your Highness. At first glance, you look alike... maybe you two are both good people, so your temperaments and faces are similar!"

The sound is sweet and clear, like the lotus seeds of a lotus flower.

Have integrity and temperament.

Yuan Zhen sneered: "Is that the reason?"

When he was young, few people could tell the difference between him and Yuan Yao, but after so many years, he didn't mind being ignored.

Yun Juan was the first person to point out the differences between him and Yuan Yao.

So this is what it feels like when someone speaks to you seriously and treats you seriously.

Too naive. No wonder he is no match for all the people in the harem.

It is not difficult to imagine how much suffering she endured in the palace. She is so lovely, and everyone wants to target her!

"Your Highness, are you here to look for the princess?" Yun Yu'an faced the light and smiled brilliantly. "Your Highness is also very smart. He actually knew that I am the princess?"

The sun was shining brightly, and her smile was even brighter, very bright and beautiful.

He even thought it would be better if this smile was just for him.

"There is no princess of the same age as you in the palace. It seems that there is no one else so young except you. I haven't heard that other ministers' daughters have entered the palace today." Yuan Zhen also slowed down his speech.

He was in the habit of observing the expressions on the faces of those he was talking to.

The little girl in front of me was listening very seriously, as if she was still thinking, just like a beautiful child pretending to be a little adult, which made people feel pity.

She also wore a piece of translucent jade around her waist, which was rare to see.

Yun Zhuan was thinking, who was Yuan Zhen's true love in his previous life.

Yuan Zhen of his previous generation took marriage lightly.

Moreover, Yuan Zhen and Yuan Yao had a very good relationship. In his previous life, he did not seem to be liked by Yuan Yao, and Yuan Zhen always had a dislike for him.

Sometimes, a pretty face doesn't seem to be able to influence other people's views.

His princess seemed to be a girl with the surname Wen. Like the Ye family, she was a noble family, but her official position was not very high. When she entered the inner cabinet, she was only a fourth-rank official. She played a very important role in the inner cabinet, and even the third-rank officials did not dare to disrespect the Wen family.

It's pretty good.

Wen Shuyue, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, was beautiful, and Yuanzhen had no intention of competing for the throne.

The two of them are a good couple.

The clouds are tied to the ground, and the brows are furrowed. I would rather demolish ten temples than destroy a single relative.

"Second Prince, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." Yun Ju'an gave Lu'e a look, and the two of them bowed and left.

Yuanzhen was holding a beautifully tied bunch of lotus flowers in his hand, some in bloom and some not.

Only when it is held up by a little girl can it be the real beauty of summer.

After a while, Yuan Zhen felt a little lonely and whispered, "Your flowers haven't been taken away yet..."

The servant beside him couldn't bear it: "Your Highness, the princess has gone far away."

"I don't know when I will see you next time." Yuan Zhen felt a little regretful. He stared at the lotus in his hand and refused to let go.

He watched from behind to see if Yun Zhu was okay for a while.

I didn't hear what the two of them said, but I saw that the little girl never smiled. Even when she looked at the lake, there was only a faint smile on her face.

Then he came a little closer.

Fang heard the two of them talking about whether they should go to the center of the lake to pick some lotus flowers.

Seeing that the lotus flowers he had just picked were still fresh, he generously presented them to the girl.

I didn't expect to offend the little princess.

The frightened expression immediately made this beautiful face more colorful.

Then he saw the bright smile on Furong's face.

It was enough to be engraved in the long river of his life. Just such a smile made his heart tremble for the first time in a long time.

For this smile, he would even give up his life.

Because Yuan Yao had not yet married, Empress Yuan took in another prince.

For Yuan Yao, he has always been unwilling to get involved in the vortex of imperial power.

The battle for the throne was full of invisible twists and turns and bloodshed. He only had this one sister, so he had to be considerate of her.

The servant He Cheng whispered, "Your Highness, Your Highness? We should go and pay our respects to the Empress."

Yes, he went to the palace this time just to inquire about Yaoyao's recent situation.

"Let's go." Yuan Zhen squatted down and put the bouquet of lotus in his hand into the river.

Today, he was reckless.

He Cheng was somewhat puzzled: "Your Highness, it is not easy for you to pick this bunch of lotus flowers. Why…"

"I was originally planning to give it to Yaoyao, but now, in my heart, this bouquet of lotus has already found a suitable person, and I can no longer give it to anyone else." Yuan Zhen laughed to himself and shook his head.

Giving it to Yaoyao would be somewhat disrespectful to one's own sister.

Well, falling into the lake also means I have a way home.

He Cheng seemed to understand, but Yuan Zhen kept his mouth shut.

Before he met Yu Ling, he had guessed how vulgar she was, or how rude and arrogant she was.

But I saw it today.

She should be the first lotus flower to bloom in summer.

Yuan Yao knew that her brother was about to enter the palace, and she had been waiting in the palace.

Queen Yuan also had a very pleased look on her face. Yuan Yao had been raised by her since birth, just like her own child. Therefore, Yuan Zhen could also see that she liked and loved Yuan Yao.

Therefore, whenever Yuanzhi and Yuanzhen worked together, Yuanzhen would most likely look at the important points of contradiction and have the heart of a subject.

This is what made the Empress Dowager happy.

To her, although Yuan Zhi was not her biological son, she had raised him for many years, and all the princes in the harem would call her mother.

Even if she is biased in public, she will not give others an advantage.

I discovered that Yun Zhuan's thoughts are only used on people who need strategies.

Lu Zhe’s voice was overheard the most!!!
