The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 174 Palace Banquet, Hongmen Banquet?
The next day, Jun Xiaochen, who had just returned home, sat in his study, looking at the trembling steward of the palace. Thinking that he had misheard, he put down the red brush in his hand and asked in a serious tone:
"Xu Junjun said that she doesn't have enough money to spend, so she asked you to give her three thousand taels of silver every month for her expenses?"
The steward of the palace was sweating profusely. He couldn't understand why Miss Xu didn't go to the prince to discuss the matter in person, but instead asked the maid to tell him the message.
But now, the words were presented to the prince, and the palace steward, with his stomach tangled like a knot, could only nod and respond:
"That's what the maidservant serving Miss Xu said. Otherwise, Your Highness should ask Miss Xu personally to avoid neglecting this distinguished guest."
The steward of the Regent's Palace is an old servant who has served the Jun family for decades. He has watched Jun Xiaochen grow up since he was a child. Although he is in awe of the stern prince now, he still has genuine concern for him.
In the past, I always wanted my prince to find a virtuous and noble woman to marry and have children.
Later, he found a dignified woman to marry and continue the family line.
Now, I marry a woman.
The sad process cannot be described with just a few tears.
Everyone in the Regent's Palace had long hoped that the prince would marry a mistress to neutralize the cold aura that had always lingered around him.
Now, a sign has finally appeared. As the manager of the palace, he feels that he must seize the opportunity and let the prince, who is not interested in women, learn how to please women.
Thinking of this, the stewards of the palace shed tears for themselves.
Before he closed his eyes, if he didn't see the prince get married and have children, how would he have the face to go to the afterlife to see the old prince and his wife?
Glancing at the old housekeeper's expectant face, Jun Xiaochen suddenly felt a headache and pressed his eyebrows:
"I know, please go down."
Most of the people in the palace are loyal old servants, and Jun Xiaochen often feels helpless about their excessive care.
Thinking that Jun Xiaochen had listened to his advice, the old butler paid his respects and left happily.
Looking at the old butler's energetic appearance as he left the house, Jun Xiaochen lowered his gaze and it fell on the red pen in front of him again.
Xu Junjun has been emotionally unstable these two days?
Would it affect her judgment of the emperor's physical condition and lead to her prescribing the wrong medicine?
For the emperor's health, he could go and see her.
Counting the time, he hadn't seen her for more than ten days.
Every time he returned home late at night, Xu Junjun had already gone to bed.
Go see her today and ask her about the emperor's subsequent recovery pills.
After saying this to himself, Jun Xiaochen put down his red brush and walked out of the study.
Wei Dong had been guarding outside the yard. When he saw his master coming out of the study and walking towards Miss Xu's yard, his mouth almost grinned from ear to ear.
He felt that his master's attitude had finally softened, and he realized that after leaving Miss Xu alone for twelve days, it was time for him to take the initiative to meet her.
With curiosity and excitement, Wei Dong watched Jun Xiaochen go away, then went into the study to tidy up the desk himself.
The study is a forbidden area in the palace. Almost all the important state secrets in the study are waiting for Jun Xiaochen to handle. Usually, apart from Jun Xiaochen himself, only a few people can get close to it.
Apart from a few personal guards and Wei Dong, he never asked anyone else to take care of this area.
While Wei Dong was tidying up the table, the tall and long-legged Jun Xiaochen had already arrived outside Xu Junjun's yard.
Jun Xiaochen came back early today, but even so, Xu Junjun had already finished showering, was wearing underwear, drying her hair, and getting ready for bed.
The room was brightly lit with candles. Jun Xiaochen stood at the gate of the courtyard. In the light of the candles, the woman's graceful and beautiful figure was clearly visible.
Xu Junjun was obviously planning to go to sleep. Jun Xiaochen frowned and was about to turn around and leave when the maid's surprised voice saluted behind him:
“Your Majesty is well, Miss Xu is inside the house.
If Your Majesty needs to see Miss Xu, please go in directly."
The maid's voice startled Xu Junjun who was wiping her hair inside the room. Seeing a beautiful figure at the window putting on a coat and walking towards the door, Jun Xiaochen glanced at the talkative maid:
"Go down."
The maid had her head down and didn't notice the displeasure in Jun Xiaochen's eyes. She thought that her prince had something to say to Miss Xu, so she nodded quickly and ran out of the yard in two steps.
Xu Junjun opened the door with wet hair and found that Jun Xiaochen was the only one in the yard. She wondered:
“Why are you alone?
Where is the maid who just spoke?"
We have already met, so it would be strange to leave now. Jun Xiaochen stepped forward, walked into Xu Junjun's room, and said in a calm voice:
"Go down to work."
"Oh."
After not seeing each other for more than ten days, Jun Xiaochen seemed to have lost some weight.
Beneath the tight robe, one can still see his bulging muscles, which are oppressive and dangerous, but still cannot hide his handsomeness.
The ends of Xu Junjun's hair were wet. When the cold wind blew outside, the coldness stuck to her neck, making her shiver.
Without time to process the ten days of not seeing each other, Xu Junjun saw Jun Xiaochen's mood change again, and raised her hand to slam the door shut.
There was a cold medicinal aroma floating in the room, but it was not as bitter as other medicinal herbs. Instead, it had a hint of sweet plum fragrance.
Jun Xiaochen was not disgusted by the smell, but when he saw Xu Junjun close the door swiftly, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Xu Junjun stared at Jun Xiaochen's thin and strong back for a few seconds, then picked up the dry handkerchief and continued to wipe her hair.
She moved gracefully, as if she didn't care at all that a man and a woman were alone in a room in the middle of the night, which made Jun Xiaochen look back at her.
In the dark night, Jun Xiaochen's amber eyes looked like glowing gems. Xu Junjun took a closer look and spoke first:
"Why did you come to me suddenly?
The little emperor has finished taking his medicine?
Or is there something wrong with your body again?"
Jun Xiaochen answered the question irrelevantly:
"I heard that you don't have enough money?"
Xu Junjun paused, cursed the stingy man in her heart, and spoke in a natural manner:
"When you captured me from the Great Sage, I didn't have much money on me.
I've been in Tianqi for three or four months, stuck in the palace making medicine every day. I'm almost going crazy. So I want to go out for a few days, buy some small things, and change my mood.
Why, I need some money, and you won't give it to me?"
Jun Xiaochen stared at Xu Junjun, as if wondering whether her words were true or not.
Just when Xu Junjun was getting impatient with being looked at and wanted to say no, Jun Xiaochen spoke up:
"If you want silver, that's fine. Just exchange it with your poison. One bottle is worth one hundred taels."
Xu Junjun gritted her teeth and cursed: Damn capitalists, they won’t stop until they squeeze every last bit of value out of her!
“Two hundred taels a bottle!
Anything less is out of the question! "
Xu Junjun said in an unhappy tone, holding up two fingers to bargain firmly.
She didn't expect that after all she had done in the Regent's Palace, the man in front of her wouldn't let her take advantage of him at all!
If she had known this, she should have charged five hundred taels, no, one thousand taels of gold as the consultation fee for the healing pills she gave to the little emperor, to make this stingy bastard die of anger!
This time, Jun Xiaochen did not refuse and nodded in agreement:
"Can.
But five days later, you will accompany me to the palace to attend the banquet."
Palace banquet!
The Hongmen Banquet!
Xu Junjun jumped three feet high and decisively refused:
"Don't scare me, I'm definitely not going!"
