Ye Haoting instructed the maid beside him, "Prepare some exquisite cakes."
The little palace maid responded and turned around to prepare. After a while, she brought up three plates of exquisite pastries and placed them in front of Shen Chuwei.
Shen Chuwei was still confused. She secretly glanced at the Emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom and her hands involuntarily pinched the soles of Xuetuan's feet. Didn't the emperor always have a serious face?
Why is the Emperor of Nanzhao different? Instead, he is a little amiable~ Ye Haoting sat opposite Shen Chuwei, looking at her eyes full of spirit, which had not changed much since she was a child. Seeing her sitting still, he said softly, "Xiaojiu, eat some cakes first."
"...Okay." Shen Chu lowered her eyes and looked at the imperial pastries in front of her. They were naturally more exquisite than those outside. She licked her lips. The emperor asked her to eat, so she naturally had to cooperate. She picked up a piece of yellow pastry and put it into her mouth and took a bite. The texture was delicate and slightly sweet. This was the taste that Xiao Jinyan liked.
Ye Haoting's wise eyes were always staring at her. Seeing her eating pastries, Xiaojiu had loved eating them since she was a child, and this had never changed.
"Xiaojiu, where have you been for so long? Even I don't recognize you?"
Shen Chuwei looked at Ye Haoting doubtfully and blinked his big beautiful eyes twice, "I guessed right, you are the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom, right?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Ye Haoting's eyes. He always felt that Feng Wuyou in front of him was a little strange. He continued to ask: "Did something happen during the years you disappeared?"
Shen Chuwei was eating pastries and felt that the emperor in front of her was a little weird. He didn't have the airs of an emperor when they first met and even asked some strange questions.
"I don't understand what you are talking about."
Ye Haoting asked again: "Aren't you Xiaojiu?"
Shen Chuwei replied subconsciously: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Ye Haoting looked at her for a while and came to a conclusion that she had lost her memory.
"Someone, please ask the imperial physician to come over."
Shen Chuwei: "..." What do you want to ask the imperial physician for? The eunuch guarding the door immediately trotted to the Imperial Hospital.
After a while, an old imperial physician who was over fifty years old came in with a medicine box and walked in respectfully, "Your Majesty."
Ye Haoting ordered: "Imperial Physician, take a look at Xiaojiu."
"Yes." The imperial physician took a few steps forward, put the medicine box on the table, opened it, took out the examination pad and placed it in front of Shen Chuwei, motioning her to stretch out her wrist.
Shen Chuwei didn't know what they wanted to do, so she naturally wouldn't let them check her pulse. She hugged Xuetuan tightly and said, "I'm not sick."
Seeing this, Ye Haoting thought she was afraid and had become timid as she grew older... He soothed her gently, "Xiaojiu, don't be afraid. The imperial physician is just checking your pulse."
Shen Chuwei still shook his head, "I don't take pulses."
"......This", the imperial physician looked at the emperor in embarrassment.
Seeing that Xiaojiu insisted, Ye Haoting did not embarrass her. He waved at the imperial physician, signaling him to leave.
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician lowered his head, packed up his medicine box, and left.
Shen Chuwei looked at the unfamiliar palace and felt that it would be better for her to leave the palace first.
"I've sent Caiyu back." She looked sideways at the silly bird on her shoulder. If she didn't get off, what would happen if she pooped? She had seen birds poop on other people's heads before, and she heard that it would bring bad luck if it pooped on someone's head.
Ye Haoting thought that she had been missing for so many years and suddenly appeared. She had become much more timid. She was probably scared by the bad guys. He was afraid of scaring Xiaojiu, so he softened his tone.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. You will remember it later."
Shen Chuwei finally understood that the emperor thought she didn't remember. Wait, she suddenly opened her eyes wide. Could the Xiaojiu he mentioned be Feng Wuyou? She had seen the portrait of Feng Wuyou when he was a child, and he looked a bit like her, and Feng Wuyou's nickname was Xiaojiu.
So, the emperor mistook her for Feng Wuyou?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was more likely.
Ye Haoting soothed him gently, "Just settle down and treat this place as your own home."
Shen Chuwei stood up suddenly and said, "I can't live here. You got the wrong person."
“Don’t be afraid.” Ye Haoting stood up and comforted her, letting her sit down again. “You don’t even remember, so how do you know that I recognized the wrong person? You can stay here without worry. I will write a letter to the Imperial Master and ask him to come and take a look at you.”
When Shen Chuwei wanted to explain that she was not Feng Wuyou, she shut up immediately when she heard the word "National Master". They were worried about where to find the National Master. If they could meet the National Master by staying here, it would be fine.
It's a bit unethical to pretend to be Feng Wuyou just to stay here~
Shen Chuwei was actually very conflicted inside, but she thought that Xiao Jinyan could recover his memory.
After Xiao Jinyan's memory is restored, she can explain that she is not Feng Wuyou, or sneak away... It's not impossible~
Then she was wicked for once? Ye Haoting was the emperor, busy with many things and government affairs, so he ordered: "Come, take the princess back to Wuyou Palace to rest."
When Shen Chuwei heard the word "princess", she wondered if Feng Wuyou was the emperor's daughter?
But the emperor’s surname is Ye. Does that mean he takes his mother’s surname?
Was it so avant-garde in ancient times?
She secretly glanced at Ye Haoting, wanting to see if they looked alike.
Two young palace maids walked in from outside the hall and led Shen Chuwei out.
Shen Chuwei followed behind with a guilty conscience.
Ye Haoting looked at Xiaojiu's leaving back. After so many years of disappearance, he thought he would never see her again, but he didn't expect to see her again. With a smile in his eyes, he went to the imperial study to handle government affairs.
Shen Chuwei followed the palace maid slowly, holding Xuetuan in her arms, looking around the Nanzhao Palace. After walking for a long time, her already sore legs became even weaker.
The maid lowered her brows and nodded, "Princess, we have arrived at Wuyou Palace."
Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at the plaque above her head. It read "Wuyou Palace". Even the name of the palace was Wuyou. So Feng Wuyou was the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom? She followed the maid into the yard and saw two peach trees planted in the front yard. There was a swing under the trees, which looked quite old.
Various flowers are planted around the peach tree. At a glance, you can see clusters of flowers and spring has arrived.
Going forward, there is an arch bridge. Under the arch bridge is the clearly visible lake with several goldfish chasing each other in the lake.
On the right side of the arch bridge is a lotus pond, into which the lake water flows. Next to the lotus pond is a rockery, and next to the rockery is a hexagonal pavilion.
There is a bamboo forest next to the hexagonal pavilion, and it will be very cool in the pavilion in summer.
The front yard alone occupies such a large area, which is enough to show how big the Wuyou Palace is.
Shen Chuwei followed the maid to the bedroom, and heard the maid say: "There will be someone cleaning here every day, Princess, rest assured, if you need anything, just tell me."
Shen Chuwei nodded guiltily, "...Okay."
The two palace maids slowly retreated.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
After the palace maid left, Shen Chuwei put Xuetuan down, and when she saw the soft couch, she couldn't wait to lie down on it. She was exhausted after walking so much.
She glanced at Xuetuan and saw him standing next to her, then she closed her eyes with peace of mind and planned to take a nap.
Xuetuan raised his head and looked at Shen Chuwei. Seeing that she was asleep, he turned his head to look at the window. There was a birdcage hanging on the window. Caiyu was drinking water in the cage.
Xuetuan stared at Caiyu for a long time, then suddenly ran, jumped onto the window, and then pounced on the birdcage from the window. However, the birdcage was too high, and it fell rapidly as soon as its front paws touched its body.
The bird cage was shaking violently because of Xuetuan's claw.
Cai Yu flapped its wings, flew out of the birdcage, and suddenly swooped towards Xuetuan. When Xuetuan was about to jump up, it suddenly increased its altitude.
Xuetuan jumped up, but missed. He looked up at the colorful feathers circling above his head, as if unwilling to give up.
After fluttering back and forth for a while, Xuetuan felt a little tired, so he stopped taking care of Caiyu and walked gracefully to Shen Chuwei's feet and lay down.
Cai Yu flapped his wings for a long time and felt that he had had enough of the teasing, so he returned to the cage to rest.
* Xiao Jinyan came back from outside and bought Shen Chuwei's favorite cakes and stinky tofu. He pushed the door open and walked in, went straight to the bed, and found that she was not in bed.
"Xiaojiu?"
He glanced at the guest rooms. The rooms in the inn were not big and could be scanned at a glance. There was no trace of Shen Chuwei in the room, nor was there any sign of Xuetuan, which made him feel nervous.
He hurried out of the guest room and knocked on Wu Tan's door first.
The knock on the door was somewhat urgent. Wu Tan opened the door and saw Xiao Jinyan, and asked, "Mr. Xiao, is there anything I can do for you?"
Xiao Jinyan looked inside and didn't see Shen Chuwei. He asked, "Shen Chuwei is gone. Have you seen her?"
Wu Tan's eyes flashed with anxiety, "I have been meditating in the room and have not seen her. Could she have gone out to play?"
Xiao Jinyan knew that Shen Chuwei was no longer a child, so it was normal for her to go out. However, he thought that it would be unsafe for her, a weak girl who was unfamiliar with the place, to go out alone.
He didn't respond and just turned and left.
Xiao Jinyan walked all the way to the counter and said, "Shopkeeper, have you seen my wife go out?"
Xiao Jinyan's voice was very urgent. The shopkeeper saw too many people every day and experienced a lot. When he saw that he was so anxious, he guessed that his wife was missing.
Because he is more conspicuous among his peers, it is easy for the shopkeeper to remember him.
"That afternoon, I saw her go out with the cat, and she never came back."
Xiao Jinyan asked, "Does the shopkeeper know where she went?"
Shen Chuwei carried the cat out, and the shopkeeper paid special attention to it.
The shopkeeper pointed to the right and said, "Go that way."
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Xiao Jinyan thanked him and chased after him.
Looking at the busy streets, Shen Chuwei, who is greedy, would go to the food stalls.
He strode towards the snack stand.
Wu Tan ran out of the inn immediately after him, and seeing Xiao Jinyan running far away, he quickly chased after him.
Shen Chuwei was awakened by a start. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was dark. "How long have I slept?"
She hurriedly got up from the couch and walked quickly out of the bedroom.
As soon as she came out, two palace maids came up to her and bowed, "What do you want, Princess?"
Shen Chuwei said without thinking: "I want to leave the palace."
It was already dark now, and Xiao Jinyan would definitely be anxious if he found out that she was not in the inn.
Good afternoon, babies!
