The morning sunlight shone into a corner of the room and landed on Little Black's nest. It raised its head, licked its nose, and turned to Chong Yan's bed, barking twice.
An arm hung by the side of the bed. Blackie jumped onto the bed and began to lick its owner.
" Don't mess around…" Muttering sounds could be heard, followed by the sound of someone flipping over. Zhong Yan pulled the blanket back and continued sleeping.
The door was pushed open and Ying Hua walked in. She pulled open the bed curtain and said gently,"Princess, it's time for breakfast."
Zhong Yan looked at Ying Hua unhappily and did not speak for a long time. Ying Hua pursed her lips.”
Helplessly, she could only get up and let Ying Hua help her put on her clothes and wash up.
Blackie walked around a few times and slipped out of the door.
Being pressed down on a chair, having her eyebrows and eyes drawn, she was extremely annoyed."Are you done yet?"
"It'll be done soon," Ying Hua said with a smile.”
Finally, under Zhong Yan's impatient clamor, he stopped fiddling with Zhong Yan's face."Alright, alright. Should I get someone to send the food to the side hall or here?”
He looked around and said," Let's go to the side hall. It's better not to eat in the bedroom. It'll attract insects."”
"The bedroom?" Ying Hua raised her eyebrows.
"The bedroom!" Zhong Yan nodded.
Ying Hua was already used to Princess Dong Yan, who often said strange words after she came back to life seven years ago. She automatically ignored the words she did not understand and went outside to order food.
Zhong Yan walked out of the house. There were different paintings hanging in the corridor. They were all painted by Zhong Yan and Wakawu Zhehao. The one in the middle was Zhehao's latest painting of his mother, the beautiful woman.
He stopped in his tracks and looked at the painting. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it looked familiar, but he did not know if he had seen it somewhere before.
In the end, he left helplessly.
The dishes were already laid out in the side hall. A small bowl of porridge was placed in front of him, with a little coriander leaf on it. It seemed to have a great appetite.
The side hall was not very big, much smaller than the main hall. However, the decoration was still the same luxurious style. Two mahogany chairs were the seats of honor, and four small stools were placed beside them. In the middle was a dining table for eating. Two windows connected the air, and outside was the small garden of Chongyan.
She sat at the table and held her chopsticks. Her mind was still not very clear, and she kept thinking about taking a nap. Yingshu came in with a small plate of nuts."I knew you wouldn't be able to eat. Even so, you have to eat a little. Otherwise, you'll complain that you're hungry before noon and make the people in the kitchen busy again.”
She said that, but she just couldn't eat it. She desperately wanted to eat modern steamed buns with fermented bean curd, but why would the palace prepare those things?
Suddenly, he thought of something. Didn't he get to eat whatever he wanted outside the palace?
Thinking of this, Zhong Yan felt much better. She put down her chopsticks and drank directly from the bowl without caring about her image. Yingshu and Yinghua were already used to her acting like this and pretended not to see her.
"Princess, I will go and see if everything is ready.”Ying Hua said and left.
After Zhong Yan finished his meal, he had nothing to do." Yingshu, tell Dong Yulang that I'll be there in a while. Tell him to get ready and not to drop by suddenly."”
Yingshu also left immediately.
Zhong Yan read for a while and saw Yingshu return. He stood up and walked out.
Looking at the direction of her mother's bedroom, she reckoned that the royal physician was giving her a massage at this time. Although the matter of the perfume powder had passed a long time ago, the symptoms that had followed were only alleviated and not completely eliminated. She still needed someone to massage her before she felt comfortable.
The empress's male companion's house was very far from Chong Yan's palace, and they all lived in a palace in groups of two or three. Zhong Yan had never understood how it was possible for a few people to coexist peacefully together.
In fact, every palace was managed by a male pet with a relatively high official rank. It was almost impossible to go back on his word. The Empress also tacitly agreed to this matter. After all, one person could not manage the entire harem.
When she arrived at Dong Yulang's palace, Zhong Yan found that it was quiet inside. There was no jealousy or quarreling as she had imagined. Perhaps it was because he had asked Yingshu to inform him in advance.
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, a man in green clothes walked out.
This person was very tall and had a well-proportioned figure. He didn't wear any makeup, but one could tell that his skin was delicate. His hair was neatly tied up. His facial features were very beautiful and his nose bridge was high. However, for some reason, she felt that there was a hint of haze in his eyes. There was a small silver nail stuck in his left ear.
In this era, it was rare to see men pierce their ears.
When he saw Zhong Yan, he pursed his thin lips and bent his knees slightly."Dong Yulang greets Princess Dong Yan."
Zhong Yan nodded. This person did not look sideways and was well-behaved. He was indeed not like other male pets who liked to be flirtatious or seductive. Instead, he had a somewhat firm aura.
She walked into the main hall and sat on the seat of honor. She gave a slight signal with her eyes and Yingshu immediately left.
"You guys go down first," said Dong Yulang.”
The palace maids at the side left one after another.
Zhong Yan saw that Yue Ying was also among them and frowned slightly.
"Princess, this time Yu Lang has been presumptuous.”He bowed deeply,"Please forgive me, Princess."”
Zhong Yan nodded.”
It was not like what was said in history, where the emperor's children had to be respectful to the emperor's concubines. Here, even the biological father had to bow down to the princess. The concept of a female venerable was deeply rooted.
Dong Yulang walked to the side and sat on a carved chair.
"Where are the others?" Zhong Yan looked around. There were two doors on both sides of the main hall, and one path led inside.
The main hall was much worse than the princess's house, but it was still much better than ordinary houses. On the pillar of the room, there was a carving of three dragons entangled together. Near the door on the right, there was a set of Go pieces.
Dong Yulang lowered his head slightly and did not look at Zhong Yan directly. He replied,"When I heard that princess was coming, Yu Lang told them to stay in the room and not come out so as not to annoy princess.”
Although Zhong Yan knew that this matter was not done according to the rules, it was what she wanted. She didn't want to have too much contact with her mother's male toy. That way, she wouldn't have to see them.
"What about the matter you mentioned in your letter?" Chong Yan covered the teacup beside her with one hand and poured herself a cup of tea.
Dong Yulang was not nervous because of Zhong Yan's actions.""Yulang is ready." As he spoke, he took out a white envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Zhong Yan.”
Zhong Yan looked at his expression carefully. He could smell something similar to muskiness when he was close. He was shocked but did not say anything. He reached out and took the envelope that he handed over.
When he opened it, he saw a thin piece of paper inside. He reached out two fingers and took it out.
The content of the letter was very simple. It only described his daily life and his greetings and wishes for the other party's life.
After reading it, Zhong Yan put it away and placed it on the table."Do you know that if this matter is exposed, we will be beheaded? Whether it's you or me, we won't be able to bear the consequences.”
Dong Yulang smiled slightly." I don't expect the princess to really help me. It's just my wishful thinking. However, my intuition tells me that the princess will help me."”
"Your intuition?" Zhong Yan narrowed his eyes and sized him up. "If I tell Mother about this, or if anyone else tells Mother, you will die without a burial place.”
