Come to the door

Author: pear wine

Zhan Chen gently touched the four paintings, carefully rolled them up, packed them into wooden boxes, and then called Xiao Man into the house.

"Your Majesty, your gifts are finally going to be sent out! Are you going to see Miss Song?"

Zhan Chen glared at him. He really didn't want to pick up the pot.

"Let's go."

Xiaoman followed his son out of Qin Fang's mansion with the wooden box in his arms, snickering at his wrinkled face.

Zhan Chen was worried whether Sister Xi'er would blame him for taking so long to come to him, but he didn't know that Lan Xi was no longer at the Song family at this time.

As soon as the master and servant arrived in front of the Song family's gate, they were stopped by the Song family's concierge boy.

"Young Master, who are you, and who are you here for?"

Xiao Man took a step forward and answered for his eldest son.

"My young master is the eldest son of Prince Qin's palace. He came to see your Miss Song Si. Could you please let me know for our eldest son?"

""Prince Qin, are you looking for the Fourth Miss? But unfortunately, the Fourth Miss has gone to offer incense with his wife and the Second Miss!"

Shangxiang? Did he go to Hanshan Temple again?

"This is such a coincidence, Crown Prince, do you think we should go back or not?" Xiao Man held the wooden box and turned to ask the Crown Prince.

Zhan Chen frowned, unable to make a decision for the moment.

"How about this? You two can leave a message for Miss Fourth, and I can pass it on to you."

The doorman saw the wooden box in Xiaoman's hand again and guessed that they might be here to deliver something.

"If you are worried, Your Majesty, it just so happens that the Third Young Master is meeting guests in the mansion today. I can also go and inform you. What do you think?"

Zhan Chen heard Lan Xi talk about his third brother Song Lanjiu, but he had never met him before and was quite curious, so he agreed to the young man's proposal.

The boy got the promise, turned around and spoke to the other concierge, and led them to the door. He took Zhan Chen and Xiao Man to the side hall to rest, and went to report to the third young master himself.

Song Lanjiu was having a headache as to how to deal with the two dragons and dragon girls in front of her, but she was told that the young prince from Prince Qin's palace had come to visit.

"Did he say why he came?"

Song Lanjiu asked the boy, Zhan Yu and Zhan Jin also looked at the visitor.

The eldest son of Prince Qin's palace, isn't that Zhan Chen? They rarely see him in the palace, so why would he come here?

"Brother Jiu, do you know Zhan Chen?"

Zhan Yu was so curious that he put down the snack, patted the crumbs in his palm and asked Song Lanjiu.

"I don't know him. I've only heard of him. Xi'er met him a few months ago. Ask Xi'er for details." Song Lanjiu waved her hand.

Zhan Yu curled his lips. If he could see Lan Xi, how could he still be disliked by him here?

The servant did not dare to interrupt the masters' conversation, especially since two of them were princes and princesses. He waited until the two of them finished speaking before continuing to report.

"The Prince of Qin said he was here to see the Fourth Miss. The waiter beside him was holding a wooden box in his hand, and it seemed that he was also going to give it to the Fourth Miss."

The boy didn't dare to hide anything and told everything he heard and saw along with his guesses.

"Wooden box?"

Song Lanjiu raised his eyebrows, and he chuckled, interest flashing in his eyes.

"Isn't this a belated birthday gift?"

"Birthday gift? Sister Xi'er's birthday gift?" Zhan Jin noticed this.

If this is the case, she also has to think carefully about what birthday gift to prepare for sister Xi'er.

Zhan Yu was reminded by her and asked Song Lanjiu: "Brother Jiu, is Lan Xi's birthday these days?"

Song Lanjiu shook his head: "That's not true. Xi'er's birthday is in July. There are other reasons. It's a long story. I'll explain it to you next time. Now, I have to go and see what the Prince of Qin is like.

"

With that said, Song Lanjiu stood up from his seat, and Zhan Jin and Zhan Yu also stood up with him.

"What else could it look like? Apart from being prettier, he's almost the same as us!" The fifth prince answered Song Lanjiu's words casually.

Zhan Jin laughed, and her gentle eyebrows also softened with a smile: "They are similar to us, but they are far behind compared to you. It should be said that those who are similar to you are rare."

Song Lanjiu was amused, and they all laughed all the way to the side hall where Zhan Chen was.

Hearing the chatter and laughter outside, Zhan Chen put down the teacup in his hand and stood up to greet them.

Song Lanjiu and others stepped into the side hall, and before he could speak, Zhan Yu started shouting.

"Zhan Chen, why are you out here? Come to the palace to play with me when you have time!"

Zhan Chen looked at the visitor in surprise. He did not expect that the fourth princess and the fifth prince were here.

The leader among them is a boy of about ten years old, with eyes as bright as stars. This should be Song Lanjiu, sister Xi'er's third brother.

"Fourth Princess, Fifth Prince, why are you here?"

He was a little surprised. If the relationship was not very close, ordinary people would not dare to break the rules, but Song Lanjiu actually walked in front of the two princes and princesses. It seemed that their friendship was not ordinary.

"We came to see Sister Xi'er, but she happened to go to offer incense with Mrs. Song and Lan Shu." Zhan Jin answered him.

"Yes, what a coincidence. By the way, Zhanchen, you haven't answered my question yet!" The fifth prince found a seat and sat down without any hesitation.

Zhan Chen looked at Zhan Yu, who was not restrained at all, and explained to Song Lanjiu with his bright eyes: "This is the third son of the Song family? My dear, Zhan Chen, I broke an appointment with my sister a few days ago, and I came here today to apologize."

"I heard from Xi'er about you. We all heard the reason for breaking the promise, but why did you come now?"

In fact, after such a long time, Song Lanjiu almost forgot about it. She thought that her so-called partner was already a thing of the past, but she didn't expect to see her today a few months later.

Zhan Chen blushed in shame and didn't know how to explain it.

At the beginning, he had to recover for more than half a month due to a foot injury. Not only did he miss Lan Xi's birthday, but he was also absent from the emperor's birthday, and he was unable to find a chance to explain to Lan Xi.

After his feet were healed, his mother-in-law fell ill again. Zhan Chen was worried and had no intention of having fun. He always stayed by her side after school every day.

As for the gift, due to some kind of psychology, he was not only unwilling to leave the process of making it to others, but also unwilling to let others deliver it on his behalf, so he kept putting it off without sending it out.

But the longer he delayed, the harder it became for him to find a chance to send it out. Until today, with the encouragement of his mother and concubine, he took the initiative to look for Lan Xi, but unfortunately he came to nothing.

It seems that this gift cannot escape the fate of being handed over.

Zhan Chen had no choice but to briefly explain to Song Lanjiu. The other party did not expect that this young prince of Qin was quite upset.

In his opinion, if you want to play with someone, you can just come to their door. If you want to give something to someone, it's even easier. The gifts are already prepared and you can just throw them into someone's arms.
