Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 185 The East Palace
Zhu Xiuyuan hugged the sandalwood box and was happy all the way. He was in such a good mood that the little eunuch leading the way became cute too.

Under the leadership of the young eunuch, Zhu Xiuyuan walked out of the Meridian Gate, passed through the Duan Gate, and finally returned to Chengtian Gate.

As soon as he left the Chengtian Gate and said goodbye to the young eunuch, Yan Dashan, who had been waiting here, immediately came over and said, "My dear friend, are you okay? My dear friend, you are finally out..."

Zhu Xiuyuan patted the shoulder of Yan Dashan, who was looking him up and down to see if he had any missing arms or legs.

It is said that the Dashan ox is tall and horsey, with broad shoulders and a broad body. Zhu Xiuyuan patted his shoulder as if patting the ox's back, it was very strong.

"I'm fine. Are you anxious to wait outside?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked with a smile. He almost never returned to the palace this time. He went in in the morning and came out in the evening...

Yan Dashan had been waiting outside Chengtian Gate, but there was no news along the way. It would be strange not to be anxious.

"Husband?!"

While Zhu Xiuyuan was talking with Yan Dashan, he suddenly heard Dong Shuzhen's voice coming from under the wall of the imperial city.

Anxiety is full of surprises.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked around and saw two carriages parked under the city wall.

The curtain of one of the carriages was opened by a bright hand, and there was a pretty girl inside. Her face, her eyes, and her eyebrows were all smiling. It was a kind of joy.

That's not who Zhu Xiuyuan's wife is.

...It turned out that Dong Shuzhen and the others had also rushed over.

That's right, Zhu Xiuyuan's visit to the palace this time can be said to be "leaving early and returning late". Moreover, he was going to a place like the palace. It was normal for them to be worried about his safety and wait here together.

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately dropped Yan Dashan and walked over.

Looking at his wife's innocent and joyful smile, Zhu Xiuyuan felt inexplicably relaxed.

The people in the palace are all weirdos.

Chen Huang looks good on the surface, but he is like a tiger accompanying you.

Although Yu Lihua is very good-looking, she is so scheming that she even wants to arrange for a spy to be around him...

There are also the cold-faced little eunuch who leads the way, and the "deaf and mute" little palace maid...

Facing those weirdos, Zhu Xiuyuan felt inexplicably tired.

He was always worried that if he said the wrong word or took the wrong step, he would commit some kind of heinous taboo that he didn't know about...

It’s better to be a lady, simple and innocent, lively and sunny, it’s relaxing to be with her!

Zhu Xiuyuan unconsciously had a smile on his lips.

When he walked over, Dong Shuzhen had already jumped out of the car.

Then came the two little maids Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, who also filed out of the carriage.

Dong Shuyu, Chun Xue, and Dong Mei on the other carriage also got off.

Dong Shuzhen trotted over and looked Zhu Xiuyuan up and down, "Husband, are you okay? You have been gone for so long, I am worried."

"It's okay!" Zhu Xiuyuan smiled.

Dong Shuzhen's gaze as she looked at Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly froze and landed on the small sandalwood box held by Zhu Xiuyuan's hands.

The sandalwood box, in addition to being made of precious sandalwood, its workmanship and patterns are also very beautiful.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't know where Yu Lihua found the box, because the box looked a bit like... a woman's jewelry box.

The pattern on it is very beautiful!
Dong Shuzhen's eyes immediately opened wide and she stared at the box.

"Husband, what is this?" Dong Shuzhen asked blankly.

"This is a good thing..." Zhu Xiuyuan noticed Dong Shuzhen's look at the box, which was a look of longing and fondness.

"Husband!" Dong Shuzhen suddenly jumped to Zhu Xiuyuan's side, hugged his hand and began to shake: "Husband, I want this..."

"Since I like it, I'll give it to you!" Zhu Xiuyuan chuckled, holding the box in both hands and sending it to her.

"Thank you husband, you are the best..." Dong Shuzhen immediately held the box in her arms and ran to the side to "admire" this beautiful box with the two little maids Qiu Wen and Xia Wu.

"Xiuyuan, have you been here for so long?" Dong Shuyu walked over. She glanced at her excited sister and shook her head secretly. "It's a long story..." Zhu Xiuyuan looked around and said, "It's not convenient to go into details here. Besides, it's getting late. Let's go back to the inn first."

"Alright..."

Dong Shuyu, Chunxue and Dongmei got into a carriage.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuzhen, Qiu Wen, and Xia Wu got into another carriage.

Yan Dashan took the driver's seat and the group began to return to the inn.

Zhu Xiuyuan was in the carriage.

The three masters and servants, Dong Shuzhen, Qiu Wen, and Xia Wu, were still studying the box and chattering together.

Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head. They were no different from the women who gathered to talk about famous bags and brands in later generations...

"Ah! This is?!"

At some point, Dong Shuzhen opened the box.

She picked up the gold medal for immunity from death, and when she saw the writing on it clearly, it was as if she was holding a piece of red-hot iron. She let out an exclamation and threw the medal back.

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled lightly, knowing that this scene would happen.

"What's wrong? Did I scare you?"

"Husband, this... gold medal for immunity from death..."

Dong Shuzhen placed the sandalwood box on both knees, and retracted her upper body and hands, as if the gold medal had a mouth specially designed to bite women's hands.

……

Inn, in Zhu Xiuyuan's room.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the Dong sisters gathered together.

They had already had dinner. Because the Dong sisters were curious about Zhu Xiuyuan's entry into the palace, they no longer thought about going shopping. They stayed in Zhu Xiuyuan's room and listened to his story about his experience in entering the palace.

...Although Zhu Xiuyuan "disappeared" after entering the palace for so long, almost a day.

But overall, it was a near miss and safe and sound.

The Dong sisters all breathed a sigh of relief.

"My benefactor." After Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking, Yan Dashan knocked on the door outside.

"What's the matter?"

"My benefactor, a young father-in-law came to the inn from the East Palace. He wanted to see my benefactor by name. He is waiting in the lobby downstairs of the inn."

"East Palace?" Zhu Xiuyuan was confused, and the Dong sisters were even more surprised. The three of them looked at each other.

"It should be someone sent by the prince." Zhu Xiuyuan made a guess.

Today in the Renshou Palace, You Lihua was not able to give the dancer a gift, but instead gave her a gold medal for immunity from death, which was obviously an attempt to recruit him.

You Lihua naturally recruited him for the sake of the prince.

So if the prince "expressed something", it would be reasonable.

"Xiuyuan, since you are coming from the East Palace, you should go quickly and don't keep the people in the East Palace waiting." Dong Shuyu reminded.

"Okay, I'm going to see the envoy from the East Palace right now. You guys wait here and don't come out."

"Um……"

Zhu Xiuyuan opened the door and left with Yan Dashan.

Hotel lobby.

"Father! My subordinate is Jiangzhou Sima Zhu Xiuyuan. I wonder what my father-in-law has to say?" At a glance, Zhu Xiuyuan saw two young eunuchs standing in the lobby, heads held high.
