Chapter 572: Telling lies is not a good thing. The Imperial Master is so young...
Shen Chuwei paused when he heard this, then lowered his eyes to look at the mung bean ice cream in front of him. With her own willpower, she would definitely not be satisfied with just one.
It's only afternoon now, you should at least eat two or three, right?
Wait, why would she listen to someone she didn't know?
Xiao Jinyan usually said that she should eat in moderation, because she was worried that she would have a toothache or that she would have food accumulation...
"Of course I believe it." So don't meddle in other people's business!
Jun Moqing said: "It is not a good thing to lie."
Shen Chu raised his chin slightly, "That's none of your business."
Jun Moqing: "..."
Shen Chuwei added: "You may not know that people who worry a lot will age easily and get wrinkles. You are still young now, but you still need to learn from me and not worry about anything. You will be much younger than your peers."
The love of beauty is universal among men and women. A handsome man like the one in front of me would definitely care about his appearance and be afraid of getting wrinkles. After hearing this, I guess I won't dare to meddle in other people's business.
Jun Moqing's voice was as cold as frost: "Are you done?"
Shen Chuwei looked at the handsome man with a puzzled look on his face: "Are you done?"
"I'm going to take a bath."
Jun Moqing was covered in dust and sweat, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't take a shower.
Shen Chuwei was hoping that he would leave quickly so as not to disturb her from eating mung bean ice cream.
"OK."
When Jun Moqing stood up, Shen Chuwei also stood up and walked him out the door, smiling and waving: "Handsome brother, take care. I won't see you off."
Jun Moqing stared at Xiaojiu for a while, then retracted his gaze and walked out.
Seeing the man leave, Shen Chuwei ran in without looking back. Seeing the mung bean ice cream she had been longing for, she sat down on the couch and reached out to take it. However, she found nothing. She looked to the side and felt sick.
The twelve mung bean ice creams that were originally neatly arranged were now gone even from the plate.
She looked around and found that the mung bean ice cream was really gone.
There was a big question mark on Shen Chuwei's forehead. He clearly saw it on the table just now, how come it suddenly disappeared?
She suddenly thought of the handsome man. There was no need to guess, it must be him who did it.
Shen Chuwei chased after him without thinking, and glanced around wherever she could see, but she did not see the man's immortal figure.
It’s impossible to leave Wuyou Palace in such a short time.
She turned around and asked the little palace maid beside her, "Where did that man go just now?"
The young palace maid replied, "Princess, I saw the young master go to the main hall."
The main hall? What is he doing in the main hall?
Shen Chu went to the main hall with doubts.
The little palace maid followed behind him in small steps.
The main hall is just opposite, about twenty meters away.
When they reached the door of the main hall, Shen Chu raised his head slightly and looked around for a few seconds, then asked the little palace maid behind him with some uncertainty.
"Are you sure that man entered the main hall?"
"I saw with my own eyes that young master entered the main hall." The young palace maid answered with certainty.
Shen Chuwei felt heartbroken when she thought about the twelve mung bean ice creams being gone, and she wanted an explanation no matter what.
"Knock."
The little palace maid took the order and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened. A handsome man in a white long gown with wide sleeves appeared. He looked clean and refreshed.
It’s just that expressionless face, lacking any friendliness.
Xue Huai asked: "Is there anything wrong, Princess Jiuyou?"
Shen Chuwei took a look inside, but of course she couldn't see anything. She then looked at the man in front of her. He also looked unfamiliar, but she could guess that he was the follower of the handsome man just now.
"I'm here to see your master."
Xue Huai said: "My master is taking a bath."
Shen Chuwei said: "I can go in and wait."
"Okay." Xue Huai did not stop her. He opened the door and stepped aside to let her in.
Shen Chuwei lifted her skirt and walked over the threshold. It was her first time entering the main hall after such a long time in Wuyou Palace. The design and decoration inside were no different from those of the side halls. The only difference was that it was a little bigger.
Shen Chuwei followed Xue Huai to the side hall of the main hall and waited.
There were not many people in the main hall. It was even more empty than her place.
Xue Huai brought a cup of fresh tea and placed it in front of her, then left.
How could Shen Chuwei have the time to drink tea? She was thinking about the mung bean ice cream. Twelve of them were equivalent to a huge sum of money.
After waiting for a long time, Shen Chuwei finally looked around and saw the man coming. He was still wearing his blue and white gown, and there seemed to be no change before and after bathing.
Jun Moqing was not surprised to see her, it was more like he expected it.
Shen Chuwei stood up, watched the man pass by, and then sat on the couch. She asked, "Did you hide my mung bean ice cream?"
Jun Moqing said in a light voice: "Yeah."
Shen Chuwei looked at his righteous and calm appearance and couldn't help feeling a little angry.
"Why did you hide my mung bean ice cream?"
Xue Huai brought a cup of fresh tea and placed it in front of his master, then stepped back.
Jun Moqing picked up the teacup and glanced at the angry Xiaojiu, "This is the only way to deal with a lying child."
Shen Chuwei was angry and aggrieved, "That mung bean ice cream is mine, not yours. What right do you have to hide my things?"
The young maid took her master's hand and whispered in her ear, "Master, don't be angry. We don't know his background yet. What if he is an important person? It will be bad if we offend him."
In fact, without the little palace maid's reminder, Shen Chuwei knew that the man in front of her was not a simple person and was a very powerful person.
She just couldn't understand how a grown man could live in the same palace with a princess?
It's so weird.
If it weren't for the twelve green bean ice creams, she wouldn't have been so unwilling to ask for an explanation.
But it is not worth it to offend the wrong person just for twelve mung bean ice creams.
At worst, I can spend some time doing it again tomorrow.
Shen Chuwei gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I'll give you the twelve green beans. I have something else to do so I'll go back first."
After Shen Chuwei finished speaking, she slipped away without looking back, mainly because she felt guilty.
As soon as they left the main hall, Shen Chuwei ordered, "Go and find out who has come to the palace. Also, find out who lived in the main hall before."
The young maid replied, "I understand."
Shen Chuwei returned to her bedroom, still feeling a little depressed. It was not until she saw braised pork elbows on the table during dinner that she felt relieved.
The little maid ran back to report, "Master, I have been asking around for a long time, but I haven't heard of any powerful people coming to the palace."
Shen Chuwei took a bite of the braised pork elbow, her eyes full of confusion. That man didn't look like a prince, and a prince couldn't live with a princess.
"As for who lived in the main hall before, I asked many people and they all said they didn't know. Then I asked an elderly woman and she said that it seemed to be the Imperial Master who lived there before."
Shen Chuwei had just taken a sip of meat soup when she heard the words of the Imperial Master. She almost spit out the soup, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.
"You mean the Imperial Master?"
"I don't know either. Most of the people in the palace are new and don't know what's going on in the Worry-Free Palace. I finally found an old lady to ask. Maybe it's true." said the little palace maid.
"No way! Is that man the Imperial Master?"
However, it was quickly denied by Shen Chuwei.
The Imperial Preceptor is a big shot, and the Emperor respects him so much that he will definitely come in person to welcome him and hold a grand banquet. This is the conclusion drawn based on the information provided by Xiao Jinyan.
However, there has been no news from the palace in the past two days, and the emperor has not mentioned the return of the Imperial Master.
Moreover, someone who can be an imperial teacher must be at least in his 50s or 60s, right?
The man today looked very young, probably less than 30 years old.
How could he be the national teacher?
Is it possible that he is someone close to the Imperial Master?
Thinking of this possibility, Shen Chuwei's eyes lit up. Does that mean that the Imperial Master will be back soon?
She secretly thanked her luck that she didn't continue to make that person angry because of the twelve mung bean ice creams today.
Because she was happy, Shen Chuwei had an extra bowl of rice tonight.
Before going to bed, Shen Chuwei asked the palace maid to bring her a stick of incense.
The little palace maid quickly fetched a stick of incense and lit it.
Shen Chuwei held incense and prayed devoutly to the passing gods, hoping that the Imperial Master would be able to return to the palace tomorrow.
After the master finished praying, the little maid holding the incense couldn't help but ask: "Master, are you praying for a marriage this time?"
Shen Chu smiled and said, "Why would I ask for that thing? I'm going to sleep, you should take a rest too."
The young maid couldn't understand what her mistress was thinking, so she stopped thinking and left with the incense in her hand.
The next day, the streets were bustling with people coming and going.
"Brother, you are injured, why are you trying so hard to please her? You are the crown prince now, if she is not blind, she will choose brother."
Early in the morning, Ye Anyu followed the prince out to buy things for Feng Wuyou, feeling a little unhappy.
Ye Yuxi said, "Xiaojiu loves eating the most. If I don't cater to her, someone else will. Besides, Xiaojiu used to have a very good relationship with Third Brother. If Xiaojiu remembers the past, will I still have a chance?"
Ye Anyu felt that what the prince said made sense, but she was unhappy that Feng Wuyou was spoiled by everyone. She was the real princess, and her father was not slandering her because he had no title and still spoiled Feng Wuyou everywhere.
If it weren't for the Imperial Preceptor, Feng Wuyou would be nothing.
Ye Anyu was feeling indignant when a figure in the crowd caught her attention. She took a closer look and found that it was the man she met last time. She had been looking for him for a long time but couldn't find him, but today she actually found him.
She chased after him without even thinking about it, forgetting to even care about the princess's manners.
"Sir, please stay here."
Xiao Jinyan has been out these days, with the purpose of collecting information and asking whether the national teacher has returned to the capital city. Suddenly he was stopped by someone. He looked at the person in front of him in confusion. It was a woman, a woman he didn't know.
"What's up?"
Ye Anyu was so happy that she ignored the other party's cold and distant tone. She smiled and said, "You look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"
The man in front of me does look a little familiar, but that’s not important. What’s important is to keep him, otherwise it will be difficult to see him again next time.
Xiao Jinyan didn't want to waste his time on someone he didn't know, so he said coldly, "Sorry, I don't know you. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Ye Anyu reached out to stop him again, "Wait a moment."
Xiao Jinyan asked coldly, "Anything else?"
Ye Anyu smiled and said, "Your accent doesn't sound like a local. Are you here to do business? You must be unfamiliar with many things since you are new here. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."
It is said that those who are diligent when there is nothing to do are either treacherous or thieves.
The woman in front of him had a face full of courtesy and a familiar look in her eyes that he had seen before.
Xiao Jinyan frowned and said, "Thank you very much. I'll take my leave now."
Ye Anyu said: "You don't even know who I am? If you want to find someone to help you, you don't even know where to find me."
There was already some impatience in Xiao Jinyan's eyes.
Ye Yuxi came over and asked his sister, "What are you doing?"
Ye Anyu raised her head and looked at her brother, the prince, and said happily: "Brother, I hit it off with this young man right away, and I want to make friends with him."
Ye Yuxi raised his eyes and looked at the man opposite him. He found him familiar at first glance. "What's your name?"
Xiao Jinyan was quick to detect a hint of hostility in the eyes of the man in front of her. In this unfamiliar metropolis, it would be better to avoid him when she didn't know his identity.
"We don't know each other. It's rude of you to ask me this. I have something else to do, so I'll leave now."
Xiao Jinyan said this and left without looking back.
When Ye Anyu wanted to catch up, she was stopped by Ye Yuxi. She said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother, why are you stopping me?"
Ye Yuxi said: "Don't you think he looks like a person?"
Ye Anyu looked at the prince doubtfully, "He looks familiar, what's wrong?"
Ye Yuxi looked at the man who had disappeared into the crowd, "I think he looks a lot like Xiao Jinyan."
"Xiao Jinyan?" Ye Anyu suddenly remembered, "Is he the prince of Da Xia? No wonder he looks so familiar. But how could a prince of Da Xia be in the capital? I think they just look similar."
Ye Yuxi said: "I hope so. It's getting late. We should go back."
Ye Anyu was a little unwilling. She had finally met him today and he even left her contact information.
*
After Shen Chuwei finished her breakfast, she stood at the door and glanced at the main hall opposite. She didn't know whether the Imperial Master had returned or not. Why not go and find out some news?
Thinking of this, she walked down the stairs holding up her skirt.
The person who opened the door was still the handsome guy from yesterday.
Shen Chu smiled and asked, "Is your master here?"
Xue Huai took two steps back and said, "Yes, Princess Jiuyou, please come in."
This was Shen Chuwei's second time entering the main hall. She came to the side hall with familiarity and saw the man from yesterday sitting on the couch drinking tea with such a handsome posture.
Especially that face. No matter how many times I see it, I can't help but take a second look at it.
The Imperial Master's subordinates are indeed extraordinary, and the Imperial Master himself must be an old man with a sage-like appearance and a goatee.
Just as Shen Chuwei was imagining, a clear voice came into his ears, "Come in."
Ugh! I was discovered...
Shen Chuwei stood up and walked in. The feeling was completely different from when he came in yesterday.
"This young master, you see, we live in the same Wuyou Palace, and we are neighbors. I wonder how to address you? It will be easier to greet you when we meet in the future, don't you think?"
Jun Moqing paused while drinking tea, raised his cold eyes and said, "You are so disrespectful."
