Chapter 420 Reunion
"Yunlou" is a well-known restaurant in the capital. Not only is it famous for its wine and food. Many of them are beautiful singers, dancers, and are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are also keen on knowledge and knowledge. Although they are all doing such business, they are much more elegant than ordinary prostitutes. In addition, everyone knows that Yunlou is the property of the second prince, so many powerful people like to gather in Yunlou.
Chu Junlan didn't know what the second prince was trying to invite him, but she knew that because she was treating the emperor in the palace last time, Xiao Xu beat the second prince again, and the second prince was probably already hated her and Xiao Xu to the bone.
"There is no good wine, and there is no good banquet." Chu Junlan sighed faintly after putting down the post.
Zi Yan said worriedly: "Girl, if there is danger, can you not go?"
"If you really refuse like this, you will completely commit the second prince. I don't know what excuse he can find to do something extraordinary," Chu Junlan thought for a while, "I'll ask the prince's meaning first."
Zi Yan nodded and said, "With the prince here, it can make people feel more at ease."
Chu Junlan stood up and asked Zi Yan to prepare a big sweater to wear when she went out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he was dressed neatly, a maid went back and forth outside: "Prince Gong has arrived and is talking to Young Master Zhan in the front hall."
"knew."
Chu Junlan agreed and took Zi Yan out of Zhiyuanzhai and walked along the corridor to the front hall.
The air was cold and there was a trace of fragrance. The snow in the Chu family was cleaned very clean, and the gray and white color was everywhere in sight. Chu Junlan's fiery red brocade big-collared cloak spread out into a fan shape when walking, and his figure looked particularly bright against the dim background.
Xiao Xu stood in the front hall corridor and saw Chu Junlan from afar. Although his face was still cold, the gentleness in his eyes could not be concealed.
Chu Zhan accompanied Xiao Xu for this moment. Although Xiao Xu always showed gentleness and politeness when the two occasionally communicated, he always gave people a sense of unattainable nobleness, and rarely gave people a smile, which made people feel very distant.
But now, such a cold person was just watching Chu Junlan come and laughed before he could speak. Chu Zhan shook his head and thought to himself that he would not be able to disturb the two of them, so he quietly stepped back.
Chu Junlan walked closer, looked at Chu Zhan's departure and asked Xiao Xu: "Why is Brother Zhan leaving?"
"Maybe something is wrong." Xiao Xu smiled and held Chu Junlan's hand. He felt that the soft little hand in his palm was a little cold, so he warmed her with his palm, "It's cold, why don't Zi Yan get you a hand warmer?"
"Just just a few steps away, where can I get cold?" Chu Junlan didn't care.
Xiao Xu smiled and glanced at Zi Yan with a cold look, which scared Zi Yan to death and shivered: "Criminal, I will remember it next time."
Xiao Xu didn't answer, and took Chu Junlan to the front hall. The maid served tea. Xiao Xu said, "The Second Prince asked us to go to Yunlou in the evening. Do you want to go? If you don't want to go, we will refuse."
Chu Junlan thought for a while and shook his head and said, "This is not right. You beat him up last time. He took the initiative to post. No matter what intentions he had, it would be better if you directly refuse. He is also the emperor's legitimate son. Since he can post a post openly and invite us to go there, it's nothing to think of it."
Xiao Xu naturally knew what Chu Junlan said, and nodded and said, "It's not a big deal. We'll sit for a while and then come back. If you don't like it, just ignore him then."
Chu Junlan agreed with a smile, and then asked, "How is the emperor?"
Xiao Xu's expression changed a little solemnly: "Uncle the emperor is in a bad condition. Now he is in a coma and has not been in a grain of rice for two days. The people from the Imperial Hospital are now closely guarding around. I have also thought about asking you to help with the diagnosis and treatment, but you have also treated him. The emperor may not be sick. After thinking about it, I still didn't move, afraid that he would ruin his affairs and tired your reputation."
Chu Junlan said: "The emperor is in good health. It is nonsense to say that he can live ten thousand years, but if you take good care of it, it will be no problem to have a lifespan of thirty or fifty years."
Xiao Xu's eyes became deeper and deeper: "So, this time it was a plan by the emperor and uncle, who deliberately wanted to use this to observe the court officials and the prince."
"That's right, if the second prince is smarter, he shouldn't have caused trouble at this time."
Xiao Xu shook his head: "I don't think he can't take this level into consideration, but he's already on the string and has no time to take care of it."
Chu Junlan went back to Xu, so he took Zi Yan with him and took Xiao Xu out the car.
The nights are long in winter and it is dark in the evening. Two rows of lanterns are tall outside the Yun Tower, illuminating the road like daytime.
A friend in front of the door welcomed the guests politely. When he saw the carriage from Prince Gong's mansion, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Go to come, please, please, please, please, please."
Chu Junlan followed Zi Yan behind Xiao Xu, walked straight to Yunlou, walked into the door and asked through the brightly lit, and walked up to the second floor on the wooden stairs. The hall upstairs was smaller than the first floor, but the decoration was more refined and luxurious.
The blooming felt on the ground echoes the bright octagonal palace lanterns, which is full of brilliance. The tables around are full of people at this time, but looking at the clothes, they are not like nobles, but they are all like people in the world. Young women walk among the crowd, pouring wine and dishes for them, and sometimes they are touched, which attracts the girls' laughter. They are full of charming houses.
The woman in bright dance clothes danced gracefully on the ground. The sound of silk and bamboo orchestrals came from behind the light green gauze curtain. The second prince sat in the first place. Seeing Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu coming together, his eyes became deeper, and then he stood up with a gentle smile.
As the second prince's movements were moved, the lively atmosphere cooled slightly, and the dancers quietly retreated.
Xiao Xu and Chu Junlan approached and saluted, "I have met the Second Prince."
The second prince laughed, patted Xiao Xu on the shoulder, and said loudly: "No need to be polite. Today's guests are brothers on the Tao. Everyone is used to being careless and not being polite as usual. Let's go to the table."
A maid led Xiao Xu and Chu Junlan to the seat.
The second prince's eyes were always on Chu Junlan. When she saw her sitting down, she raised her eyes and smiled openly.
"Yuan'er, go and pour wine for Prince Xiao and Miss Chu."
"yes."
A soft sound came from behind the light green gauze, and then a curtain cage was lifted. A woman in purple with a petite figure, phoenix eyes and peach cheeks, and a very charming appearance came over with a white porcelain wine pot. She raised her eyes and was facing Chu Junlan and Zi Yan.
Looking at her familiar eyebrows and the small mole under the corner of her right eye, Chu Junlan clenched her fists and almost called her name.
It’s Ziyuan! It was sold by Aunt Wang, but later became a turmoil and brought back to the capital by a wealthy businessman! Unexpectedly, they would meet again on such an occasion!
Zi Yan, who was standing behind Chu Junlan, covered her mouth, her eyes were wet. She was about to speak, but saw Zi Yuan shook her head at them invisible, just like she was not recognizing her. She smiled and came to pour wine for Xiao Xu and Chu Junlan.
