Mrs. Wang took her directly to the bamboo pavilion where Prince An stayed in the palace.
Apart from two maids sweeping the yard, no one else was seen.
As if afraid she might misunderstand, Madam Wang quickly explained, "Ever since the prince moved into our house, he has instructed us not to have noise, so there are usually only two maids in the yard responsible for sweeping and cleaning, and no one else to serve."
After saying this, she slowly turned her head to look at Zhao Yunzhu and continued to explain, "I'll send some more maids over later. Concubine Yun can pick out a few that she likes and use them for her services."
"I appreciate Madam Wang's kindness," Zhao Yunzhu thanked her sincerely, then added, "But I won't bother you, Madam Wang. I've brought people with me to serve you, and that's more than enough."
"Alright, then I won't bother Concubine Yun anymore. You can take a good rest first. I'll have someone bring food over later."
"Thank you for your help,"
Mrs. Wang smiled and bowed before leaving with her people.
The guards who had followed along the way hid in the front yard.
Zhuxuan has one main room and six side rooms. Zhao Yunzhu didn't want to cause trouble for Qin Zongzhi, so he ordered someone to clean up a side room for him to live in.
Aunt Hua asked someone to bring hot water. Zhao Yunzhu had not been able to take a good bath due to the long journey.
Now that I have such an opportunity, I naturally have to enjoy it to the fullest.
Feel the hot water wrapping your whole body and the fatigue of the past few days will be eliminated.
After she finished her hot bath and put on her clothes, she saw that the food had already been set on the table in the outer room.
She was eating when Xia Yue came in from outside and replied, "Concubine Yun, Madam Wang sent someone to say that the prince has entered the city and will be back soon. She asked if you would like to go to the gate to greet the prince..."
Zhao Yunzhu put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "Let's go and welcome the prince."
Several people went out to welcome Prince An.
Walking through the corridor, she bumped into Madam Wang at the corner. Madam Wang turned back and greeted her face to face. "Concubine Yun, I imagine the prince must be very happy to see you."
"Thank you, Madam Wang."
There was still not much emotion on Zhao Yunzhu's face.
The two of them walked towards the door while chatting and laughing.
After a while, a carriage was seen slowly approaching.
Prince An rode his horse to protect the right side of the carriage.
For some reason, Zhao Yunzhu felt a sinking feeling in his heart and became a little depressed and negative.
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion first. Mrs. Wang walked forward with a smile, and saw the curtain of the carriage opened, and a girl in a light orange dress poked her head out.
"Mother."
"Ya'er is back. I'm afraid you're exhausted today. Mother has already asked someone to prepare your favorite meals."
Mrs. Wang stepped forward and helped her daughter Wang Ya get off the carriage.
Wang Ya smiled playfully, made a face at Madam Wang, and then looked behind her shyly, "Your Highness, how about you having dinner with me today as a token of your gratitude?"
She was so free and easy, as if she was an old friend of King Tong'an.
Wang Ya had no idea that there was a woman standing in front of the gate, and Mrs. Wang deliberately did not remind her.
Qin Zongzhi's sight was blocked by the carriage, so he naturally did not see Zhao Yunzhu who came from thousands of miles away.
He was thinking about what happened today and didn't realize that the person he was thinking about had arrived.
Hearing Wang Ya's voice and remembering her help these days, Qin Zongzhi didn't think much about it and readily agreed, "Then I will have dinner with Miss Wang today along with Lord Wang."
This was said with extreme caution, avoiding the embarrassment of the two having empty stomachs and also avoiding misunderstandings.
Wang Ya understood Qin Zongzhi's thoughts and said with a smile, "Then I have to thank the prince today. It has been a long time since my father and I had a meal together."
Wang Ya looked at her father and said, "Father, let's not talk about official business today. Can you have a good meal with your daughter?"
Lord Wang looked at his daughter lovingly, "Okay, I'll obey you today, little girl."
Mrs. Wang raised her hand and tapped her daughter's forehead, jokingly saying, "You're so old, and you're still so naughty!"
"Your Majesty, look, aren't my parents a little too strict?"
Wang Ya looked at Qin Zongzhi as if asking for help.
Qin Zongzhi dismounted, smiling without saying a word.
Zhao Yunzhu felt a dull pain in her heart when she saw this scene at the Wang family. When she saw the smile on Qin Zongzhi's lips, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Her eyes felt a little sore, she turned her back, took a deep breath, and tried her best to control her emotions.
Aunt Hua saw that Zhao Yunzhu was feeling wronged and felt sorry for her. She called out to Prince An, "Your Highness, Concubine Yun is here to see you."
Qin Zongzhi was stunned. The familiar voice of Aunt Hua made him think he was hallucinating.
"Your Highness, Concubine Yun just arrived today. It's my fault that I forgot such great news the moment I saw Ya'er."
Mrs. Wang looked annoyed.
Qin Zongzhi suppressed the smile on his face and revealed a layer of coldness.
With an indifference that is hard to look at,
He strode forward.
Seeing that he hadn't seen his beloved for many days, the ice in Qin Zongzhi's eyes melted little by little.
"Why are you here?"
He walked up to her, took her hand, and looked her up and down carefully, afraid that he might have seen something wrong.
"Come to see you."
Zhao Yunzhu tried her best to force a smile, but she was still feeling a little depressed.
Qin Zongzhi keenly noticed something was wrong, moved closer to her, and whispered in her ear, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, he turned to look at the three people from the Wang family, "Master Wang, I will not disturb you three any more. I will go back..."
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
Lord Wang sensed Prince An's hidden emotions and bowed respectfully to see him off.
Watching Prince An leave with Concubine Yun.
Lord Wang had just glared at his wife and scolded her, "Women, how can we possibly offend those two? I think you've been dreaming too much lately, and that's why you've become so greedy."
Mrs. Wang snorted lightly, not taking Lord Wang's words to heart at all.
"Master, how can our Ya'er be inferior to that person? Why can't I just go and try to reach her?"
"Mother."
Seeing that her father's face was not looking good, Wang Ya pulled her mother's arm and said coquettishly, "Okay, don't argue with father. If the servants see you, you will laugh at us."
Mrs. Wang refused to admit defeat, and for the sake of her daughter's face, she was too lazy to continue arguing with Lord Wang.
"Hmph, womanly kindness!" Lord Wang saw that his wife wouldn't listen at all, so he waved his sleeves and left.
…
Bamboo Pavilion.
Qin Zongzhi led Zhao Yunzhu into the main house, and the old woman and maid stopped outside the door with a sly smile.
Seeing that the room was still in its original state, Qin Zongzhi frowned, and his tone was filled with a hint of blame, "Where are your things?"
"I was worried that it would interfere with your work, so I asked someone to clear out a room for me in the side wing."
Zhao Yunzhu explained patiently.
"Moving back home, there's no reason for a husband and wife to sleep separately!"
There was a hint of anger on Qin Zongzhi's face.
Seeing how stubborn he was, Zhao Yunzhu just waited for his agreement.
He pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear how much he missed her after not seeing her for so many days.
