It has been two years since Du Qianrui lived in the wing room, and even the furnishings have not changed. She picked up the bronze mirror on the dressing table, whispered at the mirror, wiped it with a handkerchief, but it was still so blurry that the mirror had not been worn. She sat down on a round waist stool very familiarly, and looked up. The purple curtain in front of the carved window was still the same; the futon on the stool was woven from Shu brocade, she had looked at it carefully two years ago.

Du Qianrui only lived here for a few months, but suddenly she felt like she was returning to her parents' home. It is said that even if the woman from the wealthy family got married, she would stay in her boudoir for a long time.

She sat on a stool with her elbow on the table to support Jiaomei's chin, and she was stunned for a while. After many days of bumps, she felt very tired, but when she arrived at Gaoyang County Prince's Mansion, she felt relieved and relaxed. She liked to sit here and occasionally do nothing.

At this moment, Wang Guijian said in a sharp voice: "Miss Du, is Miss Du inside?"

"It's here!" Du Qianrui hurriedly replied, "The door is hidden, I will open the door to the prince."

After hearing this, Wang Gui pushed open the door and stood at the door and said, "The prince told me that Miss Du will not stay here in the future, go to the inner hall."

Wang Gui's voice is sharp, but his bones are thick. Just looking at him, he doesn't look like a eunuch, but he just doesn't have a beard.

"Ah?" Du Qianrui was a little surprised at first, then stood up and said, "But listen to the arrangements of Eunuch Wang."

Seeing that she didn't bring anything, Wang Gui turned around and left first. Du Qianrui hurriedly followed her.

"Before the prince went out, he specially told me to arrange a room with a larger window for Miss Du." Wang Gui said without looking back as he walked.

Du Qianrui suddenly remembered that she had told Zhu Gaoxu more than two years ago that when she was a child, she was a girl who was a girl, had a small window and felt uncomfortable... Hearing this, she found that Zhu Gaoxu still remembered that little thing. She blushed and said softly: "Don't make things difficult for you, just have an empty room, the houses in the royal palace are big and bright."

"Miss Du is sensible, but the prince personally told me that our family will do our best." Wang Gui's tone seemed not very kind. I don't know if Du Qianrui felt wrong.

The two walked to the Zhongmen Tower, and Wang Gui turned his head and said in a deep voice, "The prince trusts Miss Du very much. Miss Du should not let him down. If you see anything, don't inquire, don't inquire. If you shouldn't inquire, don't say more if you shouldn't say, do you understand?"

"I understand." Miss Du was confused, but immediately agreed. She thought to herself: Is there anything shameful about the inner hall?

She didn't say much, and followed Wang Gui silently, walked over the eaves corridor, and entered a room next to a osmanthus tree.

Wang Gui left quickly. Du Qianrui walked around the house and found that it was larger than the wing room in the outer hall, with partitioned warm pavilions and ear rooms next to it.

There was a collapsed next to the table outside the partition. Du Qianrui sat down on the couch and felt very soft and comfortable, so he simply lay down on his side. The inner hall was quieter, and Du Qianrui leaned there and didn't want to get up.

...When she woke up, she realized that she had fallen asleep somehow. She sat up and saw that the light was already hazy outside, and there was a wool blanket on her body.

A stack of clothes was placed on a round waist stool and a food box was placed on the table. Du Qianrui opened the food box and saw a white porcelain bowl inside, filled with fried lamb with green onions and white rice. When she reached out to carry it out, she felt a little warm.

There was a stove and a kettle in the room. After dinner, Du Qianrui was busy boiling water, bathing and changing clothes, and changing clothes... After working for a while, she realized that there was indeed no one in the inner hall! What Wang Gui said before seemed to be just a saying. But except for no one walking around, Du Qianrui didn't find anything strange.

Just as she was soaking comfortably in the warm water of the bathtub, she heard the door "tuk tuk" sound a few times, and soon Zhu Gaoxu's voice came: "Miss Du hasn't been to bed yet?"

"No." Du Qianrui blurted out, "I'm taking a shower and changing clothes, it's a bit inconvenient. The prince waits for a while and I'm wearing clothes..."

Before she finished speaking, the door opened with a "creaking"! Du Qianrui then remembered that she had just entered the room with her hands and forgot to bolt the door. Just because there was no one in the inner room, she was a little careless.

Du Qianrui stayed in Bai Qi's water without saying a word.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu had already bypassed the partition and walked to the edge of the bucket. Du Qianrui did not dare to look at him, and lowered her eyes and did not move, feeling very embarrassed.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything. He squatted down and actually reached into the water, scooped up hot water and poured it on her smooth shoulders. He watched with interest that the water quickly slipped away.

He gently lifted Du Qianrui's hand and looked at the jasper bracelet on her wrist. This was the only thing on her body. The bracelet picked by Zhu Gaoxu was just the right size, so it was a bit difficult to take it off.

Du Qianrui was very nervous. She had played the piano and sang songs for many people, but she had not experienced that kind of thing. In her early years, the people who bought her were at the price and did not want her to lower the price. Later, there were too many girls in the Jiaofangsi and Fuleyuan. She was just a musician.

At this time, she thought: Since she came out of her hometown with Zhu Gaoxu, she has long been determined to commit herself to him; since Zhu Gaoxu is interested tonight, why bother to disrupt his interest in this identity?

Otherwise, would he have to beat drums and gongs to marry him? That would be a dream.

After being silent for a while, Du Qianrui took the initiative to break the deadlock and pretended to be cute and said angrily: "I have known the prince for so long and have been with me day and night, and the prince has always treated me courteously. I thought the prince was a gentleman who was not close to women. I didn't want to be like this in the blink of an eye, you would treat others like this..."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "I originally wanted to be a gentleman, but Miss Du is too beautiful. Unfortunately, I can only see the leopards in the face several times."

After a moment, the water in the bucket swayed gently, and the water surface suddenly became much shallower.

...

The room was very quiet, and the curtains in front of the bed were still motionless, and it stopped after the wind blew in the yard, as quiet as the windless leaves.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said, "I didn't expect Miss Du in advance... I suddenly felt that this was wrong. Isn't it too hasty?"

Du Qianrui reached out and lifted away the messy black hair stuck to her face, and murmured weakly: "What's wrong? This is how a person like me should be. I'm not happy that the prince can fall in love with me."

"Oh..." Zhu Gaoxu sighed slightly, as if he was sad.

Du Qianrui herself was not sad because she had already felt sad enough. At this time, she felt vaguely happy when she heard Zhu Gaoxu sigh.

When she was happy, she simply said even more pitiful and said quietly: "If the prince doesn't bother me, I'll just be a maid by my side."

Although Du Qianrui is self-aware and will not do too many useless and inappropriate thoughts, it is certainly not her intention to be a maid in the room... I am afraid that any woman who comes to a prince and feels that the prince feels very sorry for her will not be so unreliable!

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu said lightly: "That won't be."

Du Qianrui was stunned, a little unexpected. She thought that Zhu Gaoxu was young and unmarried, so he would say a lot of promises when he blew the breeze by his pillow; he didn't need to fulfill all the promises, just remember one or two sentences, and she would be satisfied. But Zhu Gaoxu's words made her a little confused.

He got up and put on his underwear.

Du Qianrui curled up silently in the quilt, muttering in her heart whether she had said the wrong thing?

Zhu Gaoxu put on his shoes, picked up the tea that had already been cold on the table, and took a few big sips of "Gulu Gulu". He said, "I looked for Miss Du tonight. I did have something to say, but now I can finally say it."

Du Qianrui struggled a few times, "I'll get up and serve the prince's clothes."

"Forget it, I'll finish my words first, and I'll sleep here tonight." Zhu Gaoxu said, "I have reviewed my experience of going to the capital several times before, and suddenly I thought of something I didn't ask you."

Du Qianrui wanted to get up, but she really had no strength and felt that her bones were about to dissipate. She followed Zhu Gaoxu's words and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "When you were waiting for me outside Jiangdong Gate, Monk Qingyuan came to find you. What did you say?"

Du Qianrui reached out and rubbed her forehead, thought for a while, and said, "Qingyuan asked us, have you seen anyone in the past few days? I remembered that the prince was carrying the cat out, and he said that he might have seen someone..."

"Yes, when I was looking for a cat at the little Ni Yaoji of Jiming Temple, I saw her, but Miss Du was not in the attic at that time. I suddenly remembered this." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said.

Du Qianrui whispered: "Qingyuan asked who the person he had met was. I said I didn't see it, but the prince walked out with the cat in his arms. Later, he asked again, and I remembered Xiao Ni from Jiming Temple and said to her."

Zhu Gaoxu remained silent.

Du Qianrui murmured, "Qingyuan is indeed a bit strange. At that time, I was very scared, and everyone was also worried. What I was most worried about was whether the prince was caught... But Qingyuan seemed to be very sure who the prince was with."

"It turns out that Miss Du also thinks it's a bit strange." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Du Qianrui didn't say anything. Although she felt that Xiao Ni was pitiful, she didn't like that Xiao Ni anyway... Maybe because Xiao Ni saved the prince, this is something Du Qianrui didn't have!

She tangled in her heart for a while, and finally felt relieved: She didn't lie. Should she hide anything from the prince for the sake of someone she didn't know so that she could be worthy of that little nie?

Zhu Gaoxu also didn't speak in a tacit understanding, and the two were silent for a long time.

He sat in the hazy light and spoke strange words: "I can't ask anyone to be selfless sages, I feel that I am tolerant and often understand other people's difficulties. But I can't be fooled again and again!"

Du Qianrui blushed and said, "I'm sorry to the prince..."
