Chapter 299 The miserable mandarin duck

Zhou Chang did not believe in these rules, but he respected tradition.

He nodded slightly towards Li Caifeng and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Boss Li."

Manager Li was slightly surprised, and lowered his head again: "Your Highness, please excuse me. I am not a manager at all. I need to learn more about the rules of the palace in the future."

Since Zhou Chang was once the head of Li, he naturally felt closer to her and knew her well: "Head of Li, you don't have to be so reserved. Just do what needs to be done. Just discuss everything with Aunt Jing. I'll try my best to make your young lady live comfortably."

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." Manager Li bowed.

"But there are so many things in the past two days. How should we put them? We have to prevent someone from taking advantage of the chaos to have evil intentions..." While Zhou Chang was speaking, he saw a maid carrying things to the east.

Manager Li reported meticulously: "Your Highness, all the things are recorded in the book. The things are matched to the numbers, and the numbers are matched to the people. There is a clear number of how many things a person is responsible for."

"Well, this is good, but it's a bit too much." Zhou Chang nodded.

Manager Li added, "Your Highness, the dowry has been placed in the east house, and the extra servants have also been placed there. There will be someone to take care of it in the future."

"Oh..." Zhou Chang suddenly realized.

Just now, He Xi mentioned that the two streets surrounding Prince Yi's palace, plus the two courtyards on the left and right, were all bought by the Yuan family as a dowry.

It's scary. With so much property, you have to sell the yard to decorate it and hire someone to take care of it. This is probably the worry of rich people.

"You guys continue with your work." Zhou Chang waved his hand, turned around and strolled towards the main courtyard.

Arriving at the main courtyard gate and seeing the locked door, Zhou Chang hesitated.

The thin monkey said, "Your Majesty, would you like me to get you some food? I think Your Majesty will have to go out for some socializing soon, so let's eat something to fill our stomachs first."

"Yes, go ahead." Zhou Chang thought that Skinny Monkey was a typical foodie.

It would be a big loss to follow her on a day like today.

The skinny monkey left happily.

Zhou Chang took out the key from his pocket and was about to unlock the door, but hesitated. She just wanted to find a quiet place to stay for a while, not necessarily here, there is also the back garden.

Now in Prince Yi's Mansion, the farmland at the back of the palace has been turned into a garden, but she hasn't taken a close look at it yet.

While the sun was still shining, Zhou Chang turned around and strolled alone into the garden.

This back garden, carefully built by Yuan Yu, is quite large with pavilions, towers, streams, rockery and flower beds.

Unfortunately, the weather in Jindu was not yet warm at the end of February, and the back garden was rushed through within a month. Although a large number of trees were transplanted, no flowers or plants were seen.

Zhou Chang walked around for a long time, and as it got darker, he walked into a corridor again, which felt familiar.

It seems like I have just passed by.

She had been wandering around for a while, the sky was getting darker, and she couldn't find the way.

Not only could she not find the way, but no one came to look for her either.

Zhou Chang tried to look back based on his memory, but he became more and more confused.

I don’t know what time it was, the sun had already set, leaving only the clouds still shining.

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, in the silence, there was a sound of knuckles tapping on the window.

Zhou Chang subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

"Can you open the window and let me see you?" a man pleaded in a low voice.

It also sounds familiar.

Unfortunately, no one could be seen as the view was blocked by layers of pavilions, rocks and trees.

After going around the corridor, you will see a pavilion in front of you, and next to it is a rockery.

Just as Zhou Chang was about to go down from the pavilion, a canal appeared under the rockery.

Green pines and cypresses are planted on both sides of the canal.

But I heard a "squeak".

The sound of the window opening was getting closer.

Following the sound, Zhou Chang went down from the pavilion, walked around the rockery, and looked across the ditch at the pine and cypress trees on the opposite side, following the sound.

Through the pines and cypresses, a man in a silver-green brocade robe was standing with his back to a window.

The window was opened a crack, and a woman's voice came from inside: "Our lady said that from now on, we don't need to see each other again, and we have nothing to say to each other."

The man looked up and stood on tiptoe, looking inside, but he obviously couldn't see anything. He didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only lower his voice: "Qihua, Qihua, can you hear me? If you don't want to see me, then listen to me."

"Oh, Master Wen, you should leave quickly. What day is today? Is it appropriate for you to come here?" said the woman's voice.

As soon as the word "Qihua" came out, Zhou Chang completely confirmed who these people were.

The place where Wen Qingyan was standing should be the back window of the bedroom, and there were two plum trees beside it.

That’s why Zhou Chang didn’t see it clearly just now.

The woman who was speaking was Lu Ju, Yuan Qi's maid.

Good fellow, Wen Qingyan is indeed the ‘blind young master’, and a love-struck man…

Zhou Chang wanted to give him a thumbs up in his heart. On a day like today, at someone else's wedding, knocking on the back window of the bride and meeting her took courage.

The nature of the spectators was instantly awakened, and they quietly took two steps forward, wanting to continue listening to what Wen Qingyan was saying.

Wen Qingyan said sadly, "Qihua, if you hadn't refused to see me and reply to my letters in the past few days, I wouldn't have..."

Before he could finish his words, a letter was handed out from the rear window.

Lu Ju said in a cold voice: "Mr. Wen, you'd better go back quickly. My lady hasn't opened this letter yet, so please take it back and don't send me any more letters in the future."

Wen Qingyan took it in a daze.

"Young Master Wen should understand the principle of keeping peace between melon fields and plum trees. Young Master Wen should leave quickly. If someone sees you, it will damage my young lady's reputation and will not be good for you either." Although Lu Ju's voice was low, every word was sonorous, like a string of cannonballs.

"It's fine if you don't read the letter, and it's fine if you don't see me, but I want you to know..." Wen Qingyan tightly grasped the letter in his hand, and suddenly shouted out the window, "My heart will never change, in this life and in this world."

Lu Ju only heard the voice but didn't see the person, so she was startled: "Ah, Master Wen, what are you doing? Don't hurt my young lady. This is the back window, and the young lady can't hear what you say. You'd better leave quickly."

"No, no, I want her to know..."

"Dong dong dong..."

In a hurry, Wen Qingyan knocked on the window next to him.

Zhou Chang was so frightened that he hid under a tree.

"Master Wen, it's useless. The young lady can't hear you through the window over there." Luju's voice became colder and colder.

Wen Qingyan was grief-stricken, his voice was filled with drunkenness: "No, tell her that I, Wen Fei, will remain faithful to her until death, I..."

"Master Wen, even if it's because you and the young lady have known each other since childhood, please don't say such things again." Lu Ju said straightforwardly, "Even if we meet again in the future, you have to call me Princess Yi."

After saying this, Luju closed the window with a bang.
