Chapter 11 Hiding Loneliness
“This wine…”
"Princess, the prince must have you in his heart," Hong Zhuo and Fen Xing were very excited, looking at Fu Zhaoning and laughing secretly, "This is Yunnian's precious wine, a jar can't be bought even for ten thousand taels, and the prince even thought of sending you a small pot."
Fu Zhaoning took the wine, took a sip, and then drank it in one gulp.
The two maids were stunned to see her drinking so generously.
"This is medicinal wine." Fu Zhaoning savored the flavor of the wine.
"Yes, Yunnian's precious wine is not only mellow and rich, but also sweet and refreshing with an endless aftertaste. It is also because it contains nine kinds of medicinal herbs. Many people have been studying Yunnian's precious wine over the years and have found out seven of them, but no one has been able to identify the last two, so the wine brewed will never taste like this."
Hong Zhuo smelled the aroma of the wine and continued, "That's why this wine is so expensive. It's so expensive and hard to buy."
"Princess, this wine is very nourishing and has a mild aftereffect, and it won't give you a headache. You can drink a couple more glasses." said Fen Xing.
"Do you want to drink?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
"I dare not," Hong Zhuo and Fen Xing waved their hands quickly, "This is specially given to you by the prince, we cannot drink it."
"Princess, the servants cannot drink alcohol now."
Seeing how nervous they were, Fu Zhaoning did not force them. He thought that Prince Jun's Mansion must have its own rules.
Fu Zhaoning drank the second glass of wine in one gulp, and his eyes lit up.
She has already tasted it and knows what the nine medicinal herbs in the wine are!
She should be able to brew a rare wine!
In this way, she knew where to make her first pot of gold.
However, these nine kinds of medicinal herbs must be found first. It just so happens that she can go to Luoyue Mountain to look for them in the next three days. Now, even if she doesn't have the condition of the emperor, she will go to Luoyue Mountain herself.
The wedding banquet was filled with a warm atmosphere because of the Yunnian wine.
Especially after Prince Jun left. When he was here, everyone still felt a little restrained and stressed. Once he left, everyone temporarily forgot everything and tasted the wine first.
Prince Juan Xiao Lanyuan returned to the study, and Qing Yi followed him in. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, where are you going to rest tonight?"
Prince Jun's wedding was held too hastily, and when the news came back, there was no time to explain it clearly. The butler took it upon himself to decorate his yard into a bridal chamber, and now Fu Zhaoning, a bride with a somewhat awkward identity, has been staying there.
Should we kick her out again?
Prince Jun frowned and took off his mask.
Although the scar on his face has been there for a long time, it will become itchy and painful after wearing the mask for a while. If he can't help scratching it, the scar will become ulcerated and infected again.
He also thought about this problem.
"Get someone to clean up a yard for her." Xiao Lanyuan had no intention of really living in the same room with Fu Zhaoning, nor did he plan to spend his wedding night with her.
"Yes. But I'm afraid it's too late today." Qing glanced at the sky.
The mansion has been busy for most of the day and the wedding banquet is just coming to an end. The servants still have to take care of the banquet. After the guests are sent away, there is still some work to clean up. If they want to clean up a room for Fu Zhaoning, they have to wait until dark.
Xiao Lanyuan glanced at him.
"Did you ask someone to check the Fu family?"
This Fu Zhaoning was completely different from the Miss Fu they had heard of before.
“I’ve checked.”
Xiao Lanyuan was dealing with these things in the study, but Fu Zhaoning waited for a long time but didn't see him coming.
As it was getting dark, two more red candles were lit in the bridal chamber. Hong Zhuo and Fen Xing went out to check and found that the guests had already left one after another, but Prince Jun had not appeared yet.
Fu Zhaoning couldn't wait any longer.
"Is your prince still in the front hall?"
Fen Xing shook her head, "I just checked and the prince is no longer at the banquet."
"I think so too. How can he be a drinking companion in that state?" Fu Zhaoning stood up. "Then where is he?"
Could it be that the princess wants to urge the prince to come over and have a drink together?
"This, I don't know either."
They didn't dare to ask where the prince was.
Fu Zhaoning looked at the sky and felt that he could not wait any longer, so he simply opened the door and went out.
"princess!"
Fen Xing and Hong Zhuo hurriedly chased after him.
Before, Fu Zhaoning was covered with a veil and was helped into the yard, so he didn't see it clearly. Now that he came out, he found that the yard was very large, with interesting flower beds, bluestone roads, and clumps of green bamboo and banana trees everywhere.
A pavilion appeared in the corner, connected to a corridor leading to the wing rooms on the other side.
Now the yard is hung with red lanterns and tied with festive red silk cloths, but it really doesn't feel lively.
Fu Zhaoning originally thought that Prince Jun's mansion would just find a random yard to decorate the new house, but now it seems that this was Prince Jun's bedroom?
Only after leaving the yard did she see someone, but it was not her who saw him, but she discovered the guards hiding in the dark.
The two guards were responsible for guarding Prince Jun's bedroom. They had been hiding well, and no one had ever discovered them except the prince and Qing Yi and others. However, they saw Fu Zhaoning walking straight towards their hiding place.
Guard A: “…”
"Young guard," Fu Zhaoning asked, pushing aside a clump of banana trees that blocked his view, "Do you know where Prince Jun is?"
Guard A was so confused that he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Moreover, Fu Zhaoning was already extremely beautiful, and now dressed as a bride, her face looked even more rosy and brighter than before.
Such a bright face suddenly appearing in front of him was also an attack on him by appearance.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Fu Zhaoning thought that he didn't know where Prince Jun was, so he could only sigh and point to Guard B, "If you don't know, I'll go ask that guy."
Guard B, whose hiding place was accurately pointed out, said: "..."
Don't come over here!
Fu Zhaoning had already walked towards him. He looked up and saw Guard B half-crouching on a rockery. His clothes had already merged with the rockery, so he could remain motionless. Many servants who passed by the rockery had not noticed him, but Fu Zhaoning did not even need to look for him; he saw him immediately.
Guard B looked down at Fu Zhaoning who was looking up, and his face turned red for a moment.
They have been with Prince Jun in Youqing Peak all year round, and female mosquitoes are rarely seen there, so they are very innocent.
"Do you know where Prince Jun is? I really need to find him urgently."
The butler happened to see this scene when he came over. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly walked over.
"princess!"
"You are the butler, right?" Fu Zhaoning recognized his voice. "That's great. Where is Prince Jun?"
The housekeeper thought of what Prince Jun had said, "Your Highness has some official business to attend to tonight."
As soon as Fu Zhaoning heard him say this, he understood.
Prince Jun didn't want to see her.
"He is busy with his own things, but I want to go back to the Fu family. Could the butler arrange a carriage for me?" Fu Zhaoning did not insist on meeting Prince Jun.
