Chapter 436: Promise (the cat in Schrodinger’s box will be rewarded with more rewards)
Chapter 436 Promise
The girl cleansed her face and combed her hair very lightly. Apart from the white blouse, she still put on the servant’s commoner robe, and pulled up her black hair like they did, and covered it with a dark blue cloth towel—this is not at home, this Dressing up is the most convenient thing to do. If you meet someone, there is also a saying.
After finishing everything, Ji Wanyou came to the window and gently pushed the two windows open.
Stepping shoes on the lacquered wooden stool, the girl crawled out of the window cautiously and unfamiliarly.
Outside the window was a narrow narrow road. After exiting the narrow road, while there was no one in the yard, Ji Wanyou ran out of the yard quickly.
The sky at this time is just dazzling.
Because of the sudden and sensation that happened in the mausoleum last night, most people in the palace were alarmed. After so much tossing to the end, they still had to talk about it in secret, so many people who stayed up almost all night were there—so At this hour, fewer people got up and walked around.
Ji Wanyou came all the way to a garden on the north side of the palace.
As soon as I entered the garden, I saw a maid who looked like a steward leading the third and fifth housemaid to order the cleaning.
"What did you do?"
The grandmother raised her eyebrows and asked when she saw Ji Wanyou in a servant robe.
Ji Wanyou reacted quickly, lowered her head, suppressed her voice as rough as possible, and asked, "Dare to ask this aunt, is there a lotus pond in this garden?"
"Yes, but yes, but what do you ask about this?" The mother looked at the people: "I think you should be in which adult's mansion, right? Our garden is not something that anyone can stroll around. It's not a trivial matter to disturb the nobles to admire the scenery."
"Don't worry, small ones will never walk around and look around."
Ji Wanyou hurriedly took a few steps forward, took out an ingot of silver from her sleeve, and stuffed it over, saying: "My grown-up loves lotus, so he told the young one to pick a few back in the early morning... Please aunty for your convenience."
The mother looked at the delicate neck exposed by the person in front of her, her eyes flashed, and she sighed secretly in her heart, "Which adult is this so unpredictable, and I have to bring a maid to the imperial mausoleum for a few days." .
But this kind of thing, it is not her turn to ask more.
So he only took the silver, and said in a lukewarm tone: "While there is no one in the garden, go quickly."
"Thank you aunty."
Ji Wanyou raised her hand and bowed, and quickly walked into the garden. Until she left the sight of the palace people, she gently stroked her heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
She went all the way to the southwest, and she saw a lotus pond deep in the garden.
Early morning light, the lotus leaves in the pond are green and round, and the blossoming green lotuses lie quietly among the green water and green leaves, like a fairy who wakes up, pavilions and exquisite. From time to time, a cool morning breeze blows, causing the round dewdrops on the lotus leaves to sway, and Ding Dong rolls into the water.
Ji Wanyou did not have much thoughts to appreciate the beauty at this time.
She looked left and right under the pavilion by the pond.
There is no one around, and it is as quiet as an unmanned wonderland.
Could it be that she would be wrong?
He mentioned this lotus pond, didn't he mean to see her?
Still, she came too early?
When Ji Wanyou was thinking about whether to leave, she suddenly heard a voice behind her——
"Girl Ji."
This voice is extremely gentle, with a cheerful smile, as the morning breeze is sent to the ear, as if there is endless tenderness and affection.
Ji Wanyou looked back with joy and turned her head.
A young man wearing a tooth-white embroidered bamboo pattern and a jade crown and hair is walking towards her.
"Master Zhan." Ji Wanyou blessed him and whispered softly: "I thought you wouldn't come over..."
"I think Ms. Ji will not come." Zhan Yunzhu said with a smile: "Fortunately, there is a tacit understanding between me and Ms. Ji."
Ji Wanyou's heart jumped a few times—so, he really wanted to see her, not because she thought too much.
"Speaking of which, why does Miss Ji pretend to be like this and come here with adults?"
When he asked about this, Ji Wanyou only thought of her dress, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while: "I want to go out with my father, but my father refused, so I secretly followed... I am like this... Does it look like this? Strange?"
"No." Zhan Yunzhu shook his head slightly, staring at her earnestly: "It's still pretty."
Hearing this compliment, Ji Wanyou’s cheeks instantly became red, and a smile appeared on her lips: “Don’t lie to me, I looked in the mirror.”
Zhan Yunzhu smiled and said, "I am as honest as a mirror and do not tell lies."
Ji Wanyou’s mouth smiled deeper, but she couldn’t help but feel a little confused. He always felt that he seemed to be very different today... In the past, his expressions were always subtle and implicit, so she was always uncertain of what his thoughts were.
What happened today?
"...In fact, I have been thinking a lot recently, and I have always...I have something I want to give to Miss Ji." When Zhan Yunzhu spoke again, there was a rare sense of hesitation in his tone. And this indecision is like the prudence and anxiety of young people when facing emotional matters.
Ji Wanyou had never seen him look like this, and she was a little startled for a while.
Until he saw him take out a pearl hairpin from his sleeve.
The hairpin has a red gold body and a sapphire leaf on the hairpin. The white jade is carved with petals of lotus flowers. The red gold branches and stems are extended, and the tops are each embedded with a few small white pearls.
"This pearl hairpin was bought by accident. It is not worth a few dollars. I may feel that it is not worthy of you, so I have been unable to give it away for a long time."
Listening to this voice, Ji Wanyou almost held her breath, looked at the pearl hairpin between his slender fingers, and asked in a low voice: "This is... for me?"
"Is it just that Miss Igaki would like to accept it?"
The girl seemed to have brilliant fireworks in her heart, with a smile on her cheeks, and nodded gently: "I like it very much."
What he gave her, and it sounds like something full of heart, she would not like it without reason.
But this intention...is it true?
Ji Wanyou had no time to think, she had already taken the hairpin, and the hairpin's body temperature was cool, as if there was a hint of the temperature of his palm.
She slowly squeezed the pearl hairpin tightly, only hearing his gentle and firm voice above her head.
"Now my official position is low, and I can offer very few things, but in the future, I will definitely give you the best."
At this moment, Ji Wanyou was even a little lost.
Is this... after promised to her in the future?
Today’s abnormality is because you want to show her your heart?
If the relationship between the two people in the past was like hazy in the fog, and she couldn't be sure but could not help but fantasize, then now, it seems to be completely clear.
His mind was clearly placed in front of her in this way...
In the next instant, she seemed to smell the faint fragrance of black agarwood from him. As he gently embraced her in his arms, the faint fragrance lingered in her nose and entangled in her breath.
