The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 175 52 Appearance Fee
Jun Xiaochen lowered his eyes and looked at her:
"You have no choice."
Xu Junjun wanted to bite him to death:
"You have to pay me another 5,000 taels as an appearance fee before I can enter the palace with you."
Jun Xiaochen looked Xu Junjun up and down, his eyes full of "Are you worth five thousand taels?"
Xu Junjun glared back fiercely, and her fierce look of not giving in even a step made Jun Xiaochen notice the dark circles under her eyes.
Thinking of what Wei Dong and the housekeeper said today, Jun Xiaochen didn't refuse in the end, and finally hummed:
“Okay, I’ll give you five thousand taels.
But after entering the palace, you must obey my orders."
Before leaving, Jun Xiaochen said to Xu Junjun:
"If you want to leave the house, you can ask Weidong to send two people to follow you."
Jun Xiaochen hadn't specifically detained Xu Junjun in the past month or two because she was busy refining medicine every day and rarely left the house.
Now, if she wants to go out for a walk, Jun Xiaochen will not stop her.
Xu Junjun waved his fist towards Jun Xiaochen's back, but he didn't appreciate it at all.
snort!
She said, why would Jun Xiaochen send someone to make a dress for her for no reason? It seemed like he was trying to use her as a monkey.
Palace banquet.
To put it bluntly, it is the Apocalypse Royal Family’s pre-Spring Festival Gala!
In the apocalypse, all kinds of monsters and demons were crowded together, toasting each other hypocritically. Why should she, a great saint, join in the fun?
I don’t know what Jun Xiaochen is planning, but he insists on her going.
Even if Xu Junjun was unwilling, time passed day by day, and soon it was five days later.
Early that morning, the maids brought the clothes and jewelry that Xu Junjun would wear when she entered the palace into the house.
Xu Junjun stayed up late again last night to make medicine. When she got up from the bed, she was still yawning.
After putting on her dress and letting the maid tie her hair and put on makeup for her, Xu Junjun sat on the chair like a tool, nodding her head as she continued to meet Zhou Gong.
Xu Junjun has delicate facial features and her skin is as smooth as a baby's.
The maids looked at her for a long time, put a thin layer of powder on her, drew her eyebrows, applied lipstick, and then painted a blooming red plum blossom on her forehead according to the plum blossom makeup popular in the imperial capital.
After the whole process, Xu Junjun looked refreshed and so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
"Miss Xu, it's done."
The maid gently nudged Xu Junjun, who was still dozing off, to wake her up.
Xu Junjun opened her eyes hazily and saw her maid inserting a plum blossom jade hairpin with a very watery head into her black hair, which echoed with the red plum blossom on her forehead.
“Are you ready?
Can we go now?"
Xu Junjun's butt was sore from sitting that it seemed like it was about to hurt. Seeing that the work was finally finished, she couldn't wait to stand up and jump a few times to stretch her muscles.
The maid who was putting makeup on her was startled. Looking at the tassels dancing and swaying back and forth above her head, she was so nervous that she almost couldn't breathe, fearing that the jade hairpin would fall and break on the spot.
Before the maid could finish her words of persuasion, Xu Junjun twisted her shoulders twice, lifted her skirt and ran out of the house.
The maid chased to the door, looked at Xu Junjun's unladylike back, and shouted worriedly:
"Miss Xu, please slow down and be careful with your steps..."
Jun Xiaochen's yard was just next door. After leaving the yard, Xu Junjun turned right and went directly to Jun Xiaochen's yard.
Jun Xiaochen's yard is heavily guarded and no one can break in.
But under Wei Dong's instructions, the guards tacitly agreed that Xu Junjun had a special relationship with their own prince, so naturally no one stopped them.
So, Xu Junjun, holding up her skirt, swaggered into Jun Xiaochen's courtyard, looked at the bright courtyard and shouted loudly:
"Jun Xiaochen, are you okay?
You called me to the palace, why are you so lazy?
The door of Jun Xiaochen's room was wide open, and the servants coming and going blocked Xu Junjun's view of people.
Hearing Xu Junjun calling the prince's name in a loud voice, the servants passing by all lowered their heads and walked like quails, for fear of being noticed by their master.
Not hearing a response, Xu Junjun curled her lips impatiently, stepped into the house, and before she saw anyone, she opened her mouth to urge:
"Can you please hurry up, old man?"
As soon as she said that, she looked up and saw a man in gorgeous clothes staring at her, his amber eyes shining. Xu Junjun shut up obediently and felt a little guilty.
Coughing twice, Xu Junjun tried to make amends for himself:
"Now that you're done, let's go."
Xu Junjun took the initiative and turned around to walk in front. She saw the man following her out of the corner of her eye, so she raised her head and strode forward.
The carriage leading to the palace was parked at the gate of the mansion. After the two men came out, they got on the carriage one after the other.
Weidong led his personal guards to guard both sides of the carriage. After the two men sat firmly, he whipped the horse and set off.
In the carriage, as soon as Xu Junjun got on the bus, she opened the secret compartment as if she was familiar with the place and took out a plate of dried fruits.
Seeing that the plate was full of his favorite walnut kernels and dried red dates, Xu Junjun's eyes lit up, and in a few breaths he stuffed himself like a squirrel.
Jun Xiaochen's eyes moved from Xu Junjun's hair to the red plum blossoms between her eyebrows, and finally fell on her gorgeous lips and face in the purple fox fur collar.
Looking at the dazzling woman, Jun Xiaochen raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't expect that Xu Junjun, who usually dressed simply, would look so beautiful after a little dressing up.
Seeing Xu Junjun eating so happily, Jun Xiaochen suddenly raised his arm, took a walnut kernel from the dried fruit plate and put it into his mouth.
After chewing it twice, Jun Xiaochen found that it was no different from what he ate before. He calmed down, took out the teapot from the carriage, and drank the tea quietly.
After taking two sips, the half-eaten dried fruit plate suddenly came into view. Jun Xiaochen raised his eyes and saw Xu Junjun's pretty face full of curiosity:
"Do you want more?"
Jun Xiaochen was silent for a moment, and for some unknown reason he took out another walnut kernel.
Seeing that he only took a small piece at a time, Xu Junjun grabbed half of it from the plate and stuffed it into his hand. Finally, she lowered her head and stuffed a walnut kernel into her mouth, saying incoherently:
"It tastes better if you eat more. If you eat just a little bit like this, it won't taste good."
Jun Xiaochen stared at the plump walnut kernel in his palm, paused for two breaths, and then looked at Xu Junjun:
"I don't like to eat these things."
Xu Junjun paused, then rolled her eyes at him as if she was ungrateful, and then pushed all the walnut kernels from his big palm back into the plate.
"Forget it, I'll eat it."
On the way to the palace, Xu Junjun ate all the dried fruits and snacks in the carriage, and finally finished half a pot of Tieguanyin.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Jun Xiaochen glanced at her belly several times, as if he couldn't understand how Xu Junjun, who was so petite, could eat so much.
At the Tianqi Palace Banquet, any minister of the imperial capital above the third rank could attend with their families.
At the palace gate, as soon as Jun Xiaochen and Xu Junjun got off the carriage, several ministers immediately surrounded them and bowed to Jun Xiaochen enthusiastically.
Xu Junjun observed and found that Jun Xiaochen, this bastard, always had a cold and dead face towards outsiders.
When others complimented him, his face was full of smiles, but he ignored them and just said "hmm" lightly from beginning to end.
Xu Junjun felt so disgusted that she simply turned her head away and ignored the bastard who was showing off.
At the Tianqi Palace banquet, men and women sat equally.
Jun Xiaochen was of noble status, and his seat was arranged at the first table below the emperor, with an extremely respected status.
Xu Junjun followed Jun Xiaochen all the way and received countless surprised or envious glances.
When he sat down, Xu Junjun felt like a monkey on Mount Emei, with everything except his butt exposed.
Fortunately, it was a royal palace banquet, and the snacks and fruits on the table were all delicacies.
As soon as she sat down, Xu Junjun buried her head in eating, ignoring the heated gazes around her.
Maybe it was because he ate too fast, but a grape got stuck in his trachea, causing Xu Junjun's face to turn red. He kept patting his chest with a look of pain on his face.
Noticing that something was wrong with her, Jun Xiaochen put down his wine glass and raised his arm to stroke her back. He didn't know where he touched on Xu Junjun's back, but Xu Junjun finally spat out the round grapes.
"Slow down."
Jun Xiaochen frowned and looked at the blushing Xu Junjun, handing her a cup of warm tea.
Xu Junjun was still coughing, and when she took the teacup, she moved too violently, and half of the tea spilled onto the corners of their overlapping clothes, leaving a dark mark.
Xu Junjun didn't notice. She drank the tea in two gulps, suppressed the itchy throat, blinked her eyes with tears in her eyes and looked at Jun Xiaochen:
"Ahem, Jun Xiaochen, can you make your Apocalypse grapes a little smaller?"
