When she entered the Imperial Garden, she immediately noticed that everyone there was a young lady from a noble family, except for herself, who was pretending to be a noble lady.
It's estimated that those officials' wives have been relocated to other places.
It seems that the Empress summoned her to the palace for a reward, while the real purpose of summoning these noble ladies was to find suitable partners for the Sixth Prince and select his consorts.
However, she wasn't worried. After all, so many noble ladies had screamed for him just now, and he hadn't been moved at all. He probably wouldn't be easily swayed.
Seeing Yun Zhizhi leave the Imperial Garden, Lin Qianyu felt that her opportunity had arrived.
She pretended to go to the outhouse and was about to walk towards Zhao Yunjin when she suddenly saw him stand up and walk towards her.
Lin Qianyu's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
Just now, it must have been Yun Zhizhi who was pestering the Sixth Prince, otherwise he would have taken the initiative to come and chat with me.
Thinking of this, Lin Qianyu couldn't help but feel a little smug, while at the same time feeling dissatisfied and jealous of Yun Zhizhi.
However, just as she was about to speak, her mouth slightly open, Zhao Yunjin quickly brushed past her without even glancing at her.
This action infuriated Lin Qianyu to the point of near explosion.
Zhao Yunjin would not listen to anyone and stay.
No sooner had Yun Zhizhi left than he followed her away.
A group of noble ladies were left alone in the Imperial Garden.
Their expressions varied; some were filled with anger, while others looked embarrassed.
Half an hour later.
Yun Zhizhi finally walked slowly out of Yongle Palace.
It turns out that the Empress, who is so dignified and noble, and the Empress Dowager, who is so graceful and elegant, are both such easy-going people.
It seems she was overthinking it.
It's probably because they watched too many palace dramas before that they unconsciously developed a sense of fear towards their identities.
Just then, a familiar and magnetic voice rang in her ear.
"How was it! What did your mother, the Empress Dowager, and your grandmother talk about with you? They were able to chat for so long!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi turned around in surprise to look at the source of the voice: "What are you doing here? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Zhao Yunjin looked at her and replied softly, "I came here specifically to wait for you to leave the palace together. I didn't have to wait too long."
In fact, he had been waiting here for almost half an hour.
He came here to wait immediately after she entered Yongle Palace.
Seeing the smile on her face, Zhao Yunjin felt much more at ease. He wasn't worried that his mother and grandmother would make things difficult for her; he was just afraid that she would feel uncomfortable on her first visit to Yongle Palace.
Zhao Yunjin noticed that her hands were empty and asked in confusion, "Where is your reward?"
Logically speaking, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Grandmother are stingy people. Since they promised to reward her, they certainly wouldn't just say it.
Yun Zhizhi excitedly pulled a jade hairpin and a luminous pearl from her sleeve and waved them in front of him: "Ta-da! Aren't they pretty?"
"The Empress and the Empress Dowager bestowed upon me a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but I didn't accept it. One shouldn't be too greedy."
"I promised to heal the scars on your face, so I shouldn't accept these rewards. But since the Empress summoned me to the palace to receive the reward, I couldn't disobey her decree, so I had no choice but to accept these two items."
Zhao Yunjin smiled slightly upon hearing this: "It seems that the Empress Dowager and the others have hit the jackpot. They must be overjoyed to receive the lipstick and essential oil you sent!"
Yun Zhizhi recalled their surprised expressions when they received the return gifts, and their beaming smiles when they learned that she had given them lipstick and essential oil: "They must have liked them quite a bit!"
The two walked and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
As they approached the palace gates, Yun Zhizhi and Zhao Yunjin bumped into Qi Yize, who was about to enter the palace.
Qi Yize's eyes widened like copper bells as he strode quickly up to them. "Yun Zhizhi, weren't you setting up a stall at the entrance of Lishan Academy? What are you doing here?"
Yun Zhizhi patiently explained, "I'm going to the palace to receive my reward. From today onwards, I will no longer set up a stall in front of Lishan Academy. The Sixth Prince also knew about this in advance."
"Oh no! Oh no!"
Qi Yize's expression changed instantly.
He frowned, pursed his lips, looked at Zhao Yunjin, and muttered, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't even ask me!"
Qi Yize quickly turned to his personal servant and said, "Go to the entrance of Lishan Academy and tell Grandfather and the others this bad news."
At the end of the day, my grandfather and a group of his friends set off to queue up at the entrance of Lishan Academy to buy spicy hot pot.
I bet they're still waiting there like an idiot.
Yesterday, he patted his chest and assured his grandfather that Yun Zhizhi would definitely set up a stall at the entrance of Lishan Academy again tomorrow.
He said this because he wanted his grandfather to bring him a portion of the spicy hot pot after he finished eating it.
result……
Qi Yize looked at Yun Zhizhi expectantly and asked, "Miss Yun, will you still sell mala tang in the future?"
"Not for sale!"
"ah?"
Oh dear, what a pity, he's never even tasted a proper bowl of spicy hot pot.
Last time at the Imperial Palace, he happened to eat a bowl of not-so-authentic spicy hot pot, and he's been craving it ever since.
At this moment, Yun Zhizhi said something that was hard to understand: "However, if you want to eat mala tang in the future, it's not entirely impossible."
Watching Yun Zhizhi walk forward, Qi Yize scratched his head and glanced at Zhao Yunjin: "What did she mean by that?"
He was a little confused and didn't quite understand.
Zhao Yunjin smiled slightly, "It means exactly what it says."
He understood.
If Yun Zhizhi agrees to the marriage and becomes his princess, then Qi Yize, his friend and subordinate, will still have a great chance to enjoy spicy hot pot in the future.
Qi Yize was completely stumped by the two of them.
Suddenly remembering something, he leaned close to Zhao Yunjin's ear and whispered, "I heard that the Empress is holding a palace banquet this time. On the surface, it's to celebrate for you, but actually, she wants to find a partner for you and help you choose a concubine."
Then, he joked, "Well? Have you chosen a concubine you like yet?"
Seeing his sly grin, Zhao Yunjin looked at Yun Zhizhi's retreating figure with a gentle expression and said, "I've chosen her, but she hasn't agreed yet."
Upon hearing this shocking news, Qi Yize froze on the spot and exclaimed, "Tell me quickly, which silly girl is it that actually hesitates when faced with a beauty like you?"
"If I were a woman, I might not only agree immediately, but I might even pounce on you right away."
His voice wasn't too loud or too soft, and Yun Zhizhi, the "silly girl" walking in front, naturally heard it too.
She was so startled that she twisted her ankle and almost fell flat on her face in front of them.
Be careful.
After saying that, Zhao Yunjin looked at her back and smiled again.
