Chapter 41 Leaving the Palace and Setting Up a Mansion



Jun Anqing knocked on the door for a long time but it didn't open. Finally, he had no choice but to follow the palace maids and leave Hanfang Pavilion.

Looking in the direction of Lin Zan's room, Si Xueyi's eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment. She clearly dressed according to the prince's preferences every time, but why did the prince never look at her?

Lin Zhan naturally didn't know Si Xueyi's reluctance. At this moment, she stared at Jun Beiqi blankly, tilting her head in confusion. "The prince is leaving the palace to set up a residence."

"That's right. In three days it will be my fifteenth birthday. By then I will have the coming-of-age ceremony. According to the ancestral system, the prince must leave the palace at the age of fifteen." Jun Beiqi narrowed his eyes and said with a somewhat cold expression.

Lin Zhan pondered, thinking that this plot did exist, and it was also one of the events that led to the decline of the prince's fortune.

Because a major incident happened when the Crown Prince left the palace to set up his new residence, Lin Zhan spoke up to remind him. "When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaves the palace to go to his new residence, have someone sprinkle realgar powder around the residence to ensure safety."

Hearing her words, Jun Beiqi's brows couldn't help but frown again, and then he came to Lin Zhan, scratched her nose and said, "Do you know something new?"

"Your Highness, you are joking. What can I know? It's just some common sense. As far as I know, the Prince's Mansion was built a month ago. Although someone cleaned it, it was not cleaned thoroughly. What if a baby snake crawled in and disturbed the Prince?"

Lin Zan said this with a smile, but Jun Beiqi had already heard her thoughts and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Jun Beiqi naturally knew what would happen after he came of age and left the palace to set up his own residence, and he had made all the necessary preparations for this matter.

Three days later, it was the prince's birthday and the palace instantly became lively. The emperor was also very concerned and pleased about the fact that his first child had come of age.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites was asked to prepare for the Crown Prince's birthday, and they must do their best and not make any mistakes.

Early this morning, Lin Zan was pulled up by Bixia and changed into clothes one by one in a complicated way, wearing nearly twenty layers of clothes inside and out.

Lin Zhan was so wrapped up that he could hardly breathe, so he frowned and said to Bixia, "Sister Bixia, why do you have to wear so many layers? I can't breathe."

"Miss, please be patient. Today is a big day for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so you have to dress formally and can't be careless." Bixia said as she went to the closet to find the last coat.

But after searching for a long time, Bixia found that all the coats were a bit old and were not suitable for such an occasion, so she became a little worried.

At this time, Dongxiang, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Xian, came directly to Hanfang Pavilion with some prepared outer clothes.

"Her Majesty knows that Miss Lin might be short of a few presentable outer garments, so she ordered me to deliver them to her specially." Dong Xiang said with a smile.

This was like timely help. Bixia immediately bowed to thank him, then picked out a lotus pink coat and gave it to Lin Zan.

In an instant, Lin Zhan turned into a cute pink ball, and her porcelain-white face was made even more bright and charming by the pink color.

At such a young age, she already had such a stunning beauty that even Bixia, who was standing next to her, was stunned.

Wrapped in more than twenty layers of clothes, he was no longer cold, but his walking was very restricted. Lin Zan panted as Bixia held his hand and they finally reached Taichen Palace where the prince's birthday banquet was held.

When they reached the door, Lin Zan's body suddenly became lighter and he was picked up by someone. Bixia, who was standing next to him, saw this and quickly took a step back.

Lin Zan turned his head in surprise and saw that it was Jun Beiqi.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to have gained some weight." Jun Beiqi said bluntly.

Lin Zan thought that today was Jun Beiqi's birthday, so she wanted to show her brightest smile in recent times, but after hearing his words, the smile froze on her face.

Although Lin Zan's body has now become that of a child of a few years old, he is still very concerned about his weight no matter how young he is.

I'll endure it because today is your birthday.

Lin Zhan kept repeating these words in his mind to suppress the anger that was about to burst out.

Looking at the conflicted expression of the little person in his arms, who wanted to be angry but didn't dare to be, Jun Beiqi's gloomy mood instantly brightened up, and he carried her into Taichen Palace.

Many ministers and ladies who were attending the banquet had already come to Taichen Palace. They were all surprised to see the prince appear with a child in his arms.

But when they saw that the child was Lin Zhan, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Jun Beiqi ignored their gazes, took Lin Zhan to sit down in his seat, placed Lin Zhan next to him, and took out the pastries he had prepared in advance for Lin Zhan to eat.

Such a meticulous scene stunned the ministers below. Is this still the legendary prince who was decisive and ruthless?

And where everyone's attention was focused, only Lin Zan was cutely puffing up his cheeks, eating pastries like a little squirrel, his eyes not looking anywhere else, only glued to the pastries.

"I never thought that my younger brother would see such attentiveness from my elder brother." Jun Beiyu walked slowly towards them, wearing a light blue brocade robe with a four-clawed golden python embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs.

Jun Beiqi didn't even raise his head and didn't answer him. However, when Lin Zan heard Jun Beiyu's voice, he paused chewing, raised his eyebrows and took a look, but soon lowered his head and continued eating the cake.

Because Lin Zhan knew that Jun Beiyu did not cause trouble for the prince on his birthday, and nothing important happened, so naturally her attention was all on eating at this moment.

Soon the Emperor, accompanied by Concubine Xian and Concubine Qin, arrived at Taichen Palace, and everyone stood up and saluted.

Lin Zhan held the remaining half piece of cake in his hand and bowed in a baby voice. "Greetings to the Emperor's brother-in-law, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Qin."

Everyone was talking about the emperor, but Lin Zhan was the only one who talked about the emperor's brother-in-law. Naturally, this was very eye-catching, and the emperor noticed her at first sight.

"Xiaozhan is here too. You seem to have gained a lot of weight in recent days. Come and let me see you." The emperor waved at Linzhan with a smile.

Although Lin Zhan was complaining in her heart, she couldn't afford to offend the emperor, so she immediately ran over on her little feet.

"Yes, you've gained some weight." Liu Qiuchan also smiled and looked at Lin Zan with a hint of concern in her eyes.

Lin Zhan put on an innocent smile and coaxed the emperor. "Because the palace is a place to raise people, with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and with the emperor's brother-in-law's imperial aura as a guard, of course I will gain weight."
