  Yunzhuguan is a very large garden, but it's not for living in, it's for admiring the bamboo. So there's only one octagonal pavilion in the garden, situated on a high platform, with floor-to-ceiling movable windows on all sides. In summer, when these windows are removed, it becomes an elevated and cool pavilion.

  At this time all the windows were closed, and a fire had been lit inside, with a large copper cauldron on the wall, which was hastily ignited, but the room was still a bit cold.

  The crown prince stood in front of the house on the high platform, saw Zhu Yuchen jump onto the artificial hill in the garden, rummage through the back of the artificial hill, and found half a roe deer in the snow pile. There was even a whole yellow sheep. He couldn't help but laugh loudly: "These people are really good at thinking!"

  Zhu Yichan picked out a handful and casually tossed it to the two servants beside the crown prince, laughing as he jumped down saying: "We often come here to barbecue in the summer and hunt in the winter. This is our first time this year, I didn't expect it to be so cold here. It's actually a good place to store these things."

  "Do you often go hunting there?" The young master and he turned around and entered the house laughing.

  The people below have started to get busy, those two servants rushed to take the yellow sheep and the roe deer to the kitchen to skin and clean them, and asked someone to bring over the barbecue equipment immediately. The maids came in one after another, putting down the dishes they were carrying.

  "Not far from here, a bit further away, Huan couldn't go, so there were fewer people who went."

  The two sat down. In the center of the room was a purple sandalwood round table. The young master sat at the top, and since there were only the two of them, Zhu Yuxian naturally sat on the right side.

  The maid placed the dishes on the round table. The young master smiled and said, "Although I didn't become a king, I have gained more freedom. It's also a case of losing something to gain something else."

  Zhu Yuheng smiled and said, "Yes, if I were to be enfeoffed as a king, I would have to stay in the fief, unless summoned by the Emperor. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to take half a step out of the fief. By then, you and Yuhuan will never see each other again for the rest of your lives."

  He seemed to be speaking casually, but the crown prince was taken aback. He now has a deep feeling, and when he hears this sentence in his ear, it has a somewhat desolate meaning.

  Zhu Yuheng suddenly became alert and hastily lowered his head, saying "It was me who said that."

  The crown prince sighed faintly after a long while, not saying anything. Since ancient times, the imperial family has been like this, with only a glorious surface, but in reality, it's a prisoner's life...

  Zhu Yichan didn't change his expression, nor did he pretend to be surprised or pleased. He also didn't echo the words, as it was a difficult conversation to continue.

  The crown prince looked at him with a different gaze, this younger brother had always been underestimated and rarely paid attention to. The branch of the Duke of Te was sparse in population. The current Duchess of Te, from a noble family in Jiangnan, her father was once a second-grade official in the imperial court, but lost power in recent years, and the family's fortunes declined. After the death of the Duke of Te, no one paid attention to this branch anymore.

  But it seems that this younger cousin is a clever one.

  The prince had a mind to test his younger brother, so he became more enthusiastic and saw the dishes and wine on the table, picked up his cup and smiled, saying "Today is a coincidence, just the two of us are left, let's have a good drink"

  Zhu Yicheng smiled and picked it up well

  The two men drank from their cups, and the young master slightly furrowed his brow, turning to say "This wine is not good, give us a tribute wine instead."

  The maid hastily answered in a low voice and backed out.

  They changed to a different wine, and the cups were also changed to two copper-inlaid silver ear cups. The wine was slightly warmed in the copper wine warmer, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out. Half a raccoon dog and a whole yellow sheep had been prepared, and the young master ordered them to open a window and roast them by the window.

  Drinking wine and roasting mutton, although opening a window, it's no longer cold.

  The Crown Prince smiled and asked if Zhu Yuchen and Lao Wu's age difference was about the same? "Not a few words"

  I am one year younger than Fifth Brother.

  "How is your relationship with him? As his brother, I really haven't noticed when you two play together?"

  Zhu Yichan smiled and said, "This also fulfilled that saying, 'no fight no acquaintance'... When I was five or six years old, I came to the mansion to play, and while running around everywhere, I saw Fifth Brother sitting on the ground crying. I went up to scold him, saying 'a man has tears but doesn't easily shed them', as a result Fifth Brother didn't take it lying down, he came up and fought with me..."

  The crown prince burst out laughing and said in surprise: "This is indeed amusing... but why did he cry?"

  Zhu Yichan paused for a moment and smiled, saying "It seems like he died back then..."

  The crown prince was taken aback for a moment, and immediately felt that something was wrong. He thought to himself, "No, I remember when Aunt Qin died, he wasn't that young...".

  "Is that what Zhu Yichen said? Maybe I remembered it wrong, anyway we had a fight for something and later the two of us made up."

  The young master nodded and happened to see the roasted lamb leg sprinkled with pepper, so he asked him if it was spicy or not. "It's light," he said. "They use very little seasoning."

  "My taste is also light." Zhu Yichen said with a smile.

  The crown prince nodded, picked up his wine cup and raised it to him, took a sip of wine.

  Zhu Yichen also smiled and picked up the cup to take a sip, his eyes gazing out of the window. He would remember, back then when he fought with Zhu Yichen, it was very clear that someone by Zhu Yichen's side had died... But in fact, it wasn't him, it was his wet nurse who had died. And Zhu Yichen cried, not because his wet nurse had died...

  Beyond the barbecue, the servant looked at the distant scenery. Here is high, and the window is also floor-to-ceiling. As long as it is opened, the scenery in the front garden can be seen at a glance.

  In the courtyard, there are all kinds of bamboo, and this window looks out at a clump of Xiangfei bamboo, which shelters a small path under its shadow. The faint bamboo shadows sway, hiding the figures of people walking on the road, only seeing colorful sleeves and fluttering skirt shadows. There is no sound of jade pendants ringing in my ears, only the quiet wind blowing against the silk ribbons.

  Zhu Yi Chen thought it was Chu Ke coming, although he had expected it in his heart for a long time, but his eyes involuntarily showed anticipation, and excitement rose in his heart. He wanted to gaze steadily, but feared arousing the suspicion of the Crown Prince, so he could only lower his eyelids and suppress the joy in his heart.

  Lowering her eyelids, she immediately thought of the figure just now, and felt a little uneasy. Xīn had always been cautious, would he wear such bright clothes? Subconsciously, he wanted to raise his eyes to take another look, just as Shìzǐ said... Huīhuàn followed closely behind the Duchess of Junwang.

  "What was just said, Zhu Yichen didn't quite catch it, he hastily gathered his thoughts and smiled saying: Today's ceremony is over, the coronation is complete, another one has grown up, and the King's consort can also breathe a sigh of relief."

  "Yes, but however..." The crown prince happened to look out the window and suddenly stopped speaking, without finishing his sentence. It was clear how shocked he was. Zhu Yutong understood in his heart and also found it strange, so he followed the prince's gaze and looked out as well.

  He was also surprised to see that the person who had come out was not Chu Kei, but a strange girl, wearing a large red cloud brocade green feathered cloak with a pair of mandarin ducks playing with flowers on her skirt, swaying gently as she walked along the small path.

  Zhu Yichan paused for a moment, then looked at the Crown Prince and saw that he had already understood Chu Ke's meaning. He also thought of the girl walking in the bamboo forest, who might be the "other girl" Chu Ke mentioned when they were admiring the snow together. The Crown Prince immediately said, "This girl is quite amusing, she walked all the way here but still hasn't found anyone."

  That small path wound its way through the bamboo forest. It seemed that girl also had her own worries, so she continued walking on the small path without looking this way.

  The crown prince suddenly saw Li Gongzhu, and his heart was overjoyed, but then he became suspicious. However, Zhu Yucheng's words were extremely rude, which made him dispel his suspicions again, saying "You didn't see it, did you?"

  Zhu Yichan stood up and shouted out of the window at that girl, "One!"

  The crown prince was shocked and couldn't stop it, Zhu Yichen had already shouted out loud. Li Lankun suddenly heard someone shouting, and was greatly startled. Scared, he turned his head to look around, and at a glance saw that there was a high platform on this side, with a house on the platform, inside which two people were sitting and standing. The one standing didn't recognize him, but the one sitting down was the crown prince.

  She was both shy and surprised, her face flushed with embarrassment, at a loss for what to do, and just stood there frozen.

  The young master couldn't help but hurry up and scold her, saying "You are Li Mingze's precious daughter, my second cousin, how can you be so rude?"

  Zhu Yichan is really not, at this time, he made a dazed expression, unexpectedly it was Mr. Li's thousand gold... I just saw her eyes with no one, and felt a little annoyed."

  The crown prince did not have time to argue with him in detail, now that the person had been called back, he couldn't let her stand there stupidly, and could only walk out and stand under the eaves.

  Li Lanjun finally came back to her senses and hastily curtsied to pay respects to the young master.

  The prince stretched out his hand and gave a distant, empty gesture of support to Li's daughter. "No need for excessive courtesy," he said with a smile. "Are you here to have fun? But it seems I've ruined your elegant mood."

  "I dare not be so presumptuous as to offend the young master."

  Zhu Yichan listened to them exchanging pleasantries in the house, and his heart was slightly moved. The young master had just heard him call this Li girl, and he became anxious like that. He already understood.

  "There are many people today, and it's inevitable that you'll bump into someone or other." This was a reminder to her that walking around like this might lead to encounters with other men.

  Li Lianjun's face turned red, and she hastily explained that she had drunk some wine at the county princess's place, came out a bit late, and got lost on the way. This was an explanation, not because she was a frivolous person, but just because she was unfamiliar with the local customs and had no one to lead the way, so she got lost.

  The young master suddenly came to his senses, turned his head to look around, and only then remembered that he had wanted to be with them today. However, none of the personal maidservants or concubines were by his side, only a few small attendants followed him. He couldn't help it, so he ordered one of the maidservants who was waiting on food outside to go and escort Miss Li and serve her.

  The maid hastily handed the duster to another maid beside her, bowed her head and replied with a "yes". She walked down the steps to Li Lanjun's side and said, "Miss Li, please come this way."

  Li Lanjun thanked the prince with a curtsy and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

  The crown prince smiled and nodded slightly, Li Lanjun followed the maid out of the garden.

  It is by.
