Early in the morning, Yun Chan got up and let Wan Tang help her dress up.
On weekdays, it’s okay to just look up to the sky, but for such a grand occasion today, I still have to draw a few strokes.
No matter what, it has to be set off with this palace attire.
But, it's not too much.
Just a little decoration made her already stunningly beautiful instantly become even more stunning.
"Miss, you can leave now, the prince is still waiting outside."
"Sang Zhan is outside?"
Hearing this, Yun Chan was a little surprised.
She thought this man had left long ago, but she didn't expect that he was still waiting for her.
"yes."
Wan Tang nodded, and then corrected him with disapproval: "Miss, I have told you several times that you cannot call the prince by his name. If others hear it, there may be some gossip."
"Just pass it on."
Yunchan said nonchalantly.
As long as Sang Zhan doesn't mind, she can call him whatever he wants.
Do you care what others say?
"Miss, this is bad for your reputation."
Wan Tang was helpless, feeling that her heart was about to be broken, and the young lady would not listen to her.
"Okay, little Luosuo."
Yun Chan reached out and rubbed Wan Tang's little face, and said softly: "Let's go out quickly, don't keep the prince waiting."
After hearing this, Wan Tang gave up.
As soon as the two of them went out, they saw Sang Zhan's tall and tall figure, standing upright under the eaves of the corridor.
Yun Chan took a look at the clothes he was wearing and was surprised to find that they were the same style?
The same magenta palace dress, the same workmanship and style, except for the different details on the waists of the men's and women's models, everything else is almost the same.
They are all of the kind that are simple yet elegant.
"Wow."
When Wan Tang saw this scene, she couldn't help but exclaimed quietly.
The prince and the lady are actually wearing the same clothes. Does this mean that the prince really likes his lady now?
"you……"
Yun Chan was also surprised, this was clearly...a couple costume.
Sang Zhan's eyes fell on Yunchan, his eyes a little darker than usual, and he stared at her for a short while without moving away.
“Very nice.”
Finally, he opened his mouth to praise me.
"…Thanks."
Yunchan was not as nervous as Sang Zhan when she was praised like that by Wan Tang.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly to hide the strangeness in her eyes, and then she walked towards him.
There was a faint arc on Sang Zhan's lips. Although his expression could not be seen, his whole person looked a bit soft today, not as cold and hard as usual...
"It's time to go."
The two looked at each other, and Yun Chan pretended to be calm and looked away, then walked past Sang Zhan and walked out first.
Get on the carriage.
Yunchan thought she would go directly to the palace, but Sang Zhan took her to another place.
It is a very ordinary noodle stall.
He didn't let Yun Chan get off the carriage, but asked the coachman to buy two steaming bowls of beef noodles and put them into the carriage.
"Taste it."
There is a small desk inside the carriage, and two bowls of beef noodles are just right on it.
Sang Zhan pushed one of the bowls in front of Yunchan and said in a low voice: "I used to eat the noodles here often. Although the taste is average, the quantity is very large and the price is very cheap."
Very cheap?
A trace of doubt flashed in Yun Chan's eyes, and her expression was uncertain: "So, was the prince very poor before?"
"Yes, very poor."
Sang Zhan didn't shy away from it, staring at the steaming noodle bowl, as if he was caught in a long memory.
"But at that time, I will feel very satisfied after eating a bowl of noodles here."
"..."
The first time she heard him talk about this, Yun Chan felt a little shocked.
Sang Zhan, a powerful prince with a different surname.
What has he experienced before?
"But haven't you been back to Beijing for less than half a year?"
Before, how long ago?
Sang Zhan looked at Yun Chan with his dark eyes, and after a long time he replied: "I lived here for a while when I was a child."
"oh."
Yun Chan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
But she could roughly guess that Sang Zhan's childhood seemed to be unsatisfactory, even miserable.
Now that he has come back strong, he always feels that it is not just for power and wealth.
I'm afraid, there is another purpose.
"Eat quickly, it will cool down in a while."
Sang Zhan said no more and urged softly.
"good."
Yunchan obediently started eating noodles.
After taking a bite, I realized that the taste of this noodle is a bit exaggerated. The clear soup is watery, and it is clearly called beef noodles, but there is not even a single beef dregs in the bowl.
"Don't look for it, they have beef at home, and you have to pay extra."
"..."
You were poor when you were young, are you still poor now?
You're not so stingy, are you?
"I brought you here because I want you to try the noodles I had when I was a child."
But he never ate beef when he was a child.
Yunchan's apricot eyes widened.
Why didn't he say that he brought her here because he wanted her to taste the hardships he suffered when he was a child?
However, she felt relieved when she thought that there would be a lot of meat at the birthday banquet when she entered the palace.
Just clear soup noodles.
Eat less, take a bite first.
Yunchan lowered her head and took a few bites, feeling that it wasn't that bad after all.
I remember when I was a child, I would go hungry and satiated with my master. Sometimes after eating meat for three days, I might be hungry for half a month. It was not as good as others.
Yun Chan ate less than half of the bowl and put down her chopsticks.
Seeing this, Sang Zhan chuckled and rubbed her head. The action was a bit intimate, but he did it very naturally and skillfully.
In a daze, Yun Chan saw a hint of endearment in his eyes, but when she looked at them again, they became extremely dark and she couldn't see any emotion.
"Let's go."
This time, the carriage started to drive towards the Queen.
The birthday banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
When Sang Zhan and Yun Chan arrived, the palace was already bustling with activity. Many of the royal family members had already arrived, and the concubines of the harem were making grand appearances one after another.
It is said that the Queen Mother's birthday will be celebrated all day today, so there are many programs prepared.
The first step is naturally to accept everyone's congratulations.
Every time a guest arrives, the etiquette officer will sing loudly.
"King Zhan, Princess Zhan is here."
The birthday gift she prepared yesterday, when she went out in the morning, Yun Chan personally handed it into Wan Tang's hands. It was a very luxurious and exquisite box.
Something that doesn't exist in this era.
Inside is a set of crystal and diamond necklaces, as well as earrings and bracelets of the same style. The most eye-catching one is a ten-carat diamond ring.
Yunchan even checked it out.
There were no rings in this era, but no matter what era, most women could not refuse such shiny things, not to mention, they had never seen them before.
The value is even more substantial.
"I wish the Queen Mother that she may be as long as the moon, as long as the sun, as long as the Nanshan Mountain, as long as she is, and as lush as the pines and cypresses, may you be able to carry on everything!"
Yun Chan's gentle voice slowly sounded in the hall, a little cold, but not arrogant, not arrogant, and stable.
The people who came first heard the sound and looked around, and the woman in their sight immediately shocked the whole audience.
What are the congratulations from others, good luck, wealth and health.
Or, blessings are like the East China Sea and Shoubinan Mountain.
Otherwise, he will live a long life equal to that of heaven.
But Yunchan's sentence is particularly special.
Afterwards, Wan Tang stepped forward and presented the birthday gift from Prince Zhan's Mansion.
The Queen Mother's birthday gifts have been collected one after another, including many precious items. The Queen Mother only glanced at them briefly and asked the eunuchs around her to collect them.
But when the birthday gift from Prince Zhan's palace was presented and the gift box was opened, the dazzling light emitted by the crystal blinded everyone's eyes.
The hall was suddenly in an uproar.
"What is this?"
"It's jewelry!" Someone recognized it and immediately asked: "But it doesn't look like ordinary gold and silver jewelry. Can't you tell what material it is made of?"
"Do you still need to look at it? It's so shining, it's definitely not ordinary. Prince Zhan's palace is really generous."
"Yes, it's so beautiful!"
During the discussion, all the rich ladies showed envy on their faces.
At this time, Yun Chan slowly stepped forward, took out the ring from the gift box, and handed it to the Queen Mother, whose eyes fell on the jewelry and her eyes brightened a bit.
