Jin Chan entered the palace just as it was time for dinner. The maids in the palace were carrying various delicacies to the dining room one by one. Jin Chan's eyes fell lightly on those exquisite dishes, just for a moment and very quickly.
Look away.
She stretched out her slender but not sexy fingers, gently brushed the hair in front of her ears, and then stroked the subtle wrinkles on her sleeves. It had to be said that there were many dishes she had never seen before.
The maids were all smiling, as if they were holding some rare treasures in their hands. Jin Chan stood on the side of the corridor and carefully observed the expressions on their faces.qo
Jin Chan stood quietly, as if she was waiting for something, but she looked as if nothing had happened.
Until a maid greeted her: "Miss Jin Chan, it's time to eat."
Jin Chan's heart felt as if it had been lightly swept by a feather. She nodded, smiled, and said, "I know, come right over."
The maid saw that she was still carrying something in her hand and said, "I'd better send you to your residence to put down your things first. The room has been arranged."
Jin Chan slowly followed behind under the guidance of the maid. She had never been in this palace before. The maid took her to the atrium garden, then stopped and pointed to the room on the east side of the garden, saying: "Girl, here we are.
.”
Jin Chan asked in surprise: "Why... is this here?"
The maid looked at Jin Chan strangely and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything wrong? Miss Jin Chan, this is the wing of our palace that is exclusively for guests."
Jin Chan looked towards the backyard again and said, "I understand, let's put the things in first."
Both Jin Chan and the maid entered the house. The maid placed the things Jin Chan bought and said, "Girl, pack up and go eat quickly."
Jin Chan saw that this maid was relatively young, around thirteen or fourteen years old, and looked much more innocent, so he grabbed her and couldn't help but raise his doubts, saying: "I see Miss Guan is also in the house.
Living, why is the girl arranged to live in the backyard?"
Seeing Jin Chan asking about Guan Jiyu as soon as she opened her mouth, the maidservant immediately became embarrassed. She hesitated and said: "This... must have been arranged by the prince, and I don't know either."
Jin Chan took the maid's hand and said kindly: "Sister, don't be so nervous. I know this is the palace, and those of you who work in the palace need to be careful in your words and deeds. But I am not someone else. Now I also live in the palace.
When you come to the palace, I am also entrusted to help the prince." She smiled gently and said: "Miss Guan should also be working for the prince here, not to mention that Miss Guan and I are old acquaintances, but we have not seen each other for a long time and we will inevitably become unfamiliar.
Some, but I always remember her in my heart! Now that I see that she is sick and not as cheerful as before, I want to know what happened to her..."
The maid kept looking anxiously at the door, lest someone saw her missing and called her. Jin Chan kept holding her hand. The maid said anxiously: "Miss Jin Chan, I have a lot of work to do. You
Let’s go eat quickly.”
The maid ran out of the room as if she was running away. Someone happened to ask her to do something outside. Jin Chan stood at the door and watched the little maid trot away. Only then did Jin Chan's eyes reveal a hint of unwillingness.
She quickly hid her emotions and slowly followed the team of serving maids to the dining room alone.
Prince Ying was already sitting at the dinner table. He was sitting at the main seat, and Guan Jiyu was sitting on his left.
As soon as Jin Chan came in, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Guan Jiyu.
Guan Jiyu only wore a simple set of plain clothes, and her hair was not neatly combed. She didn't even wait for King Ying to move his chopsticks, and started eating with the bowl in hand.
Jin Chan's eyebrows moved, he walked up and saluted, "I've met the prince."
Prince Ying raised his hand casually and said, "Sit down quickly."
There was no one else here, so Jin Chan walked to the right side of King Ying and sat down slowly. During this period, Guan Jiyu just glanced at her lightly and continued eating.
Guan Jiyu looked sweaty again, her broken hair on her forehead was wet with sweat, and her collar was also wet. However, she rolled up her sleeves nonchalantly and ate her food one bite after another, as if nothing had anything to do with her.
It has nothing to do with it. No error updates@
King Ying saw that Guan Jiyu was eating well, and he was in a good mood just by looking at it. He reached out and added more vegetables to Guan Jiyu's bowl and said: "Eat more, Ayu, you are already losing weight. If this keeps up,

But that’s not possible.”
Guan Jiyu looked down at the vegetables in the bowl that King Ying brought over, pulled them with chopsticks, picked out the fat inside, and said lightly: "I don't like to eat this. Update @"
"Okay, okay." Prince Ying smiled and said, "I know you don't like to eat, but your body and bones can't survive without eating these now."
Guan Jiyu wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said casually: "I really can't eat it. My lord, please don't embarrass me."
"Okay, I won't embarrass you." Prince Ying smiled again, with a doting look on his face. He selected a few sweet dishes on the dining table, moved them to Guan Jiyu, and said, "Then
You can eat these, they are all what you like to eat. Is it okay to eat these?"
King Ying was not very old, and he lived under the eaves all year round to avoid the wind and sun, and his face looked much younger. Jin Chan came to the palace many times to deliver medicine, but only a few times could he see Ying from a distance.
On the Wang side, he always seems to be lazy on weekdays, looking listless and uninterested in anything. His slender eyes are slightly raised, full of arrogance and nobility.
The man in front of him at this moment seemed to be more alive and energetic with every word and smile. His eyes were full of smiles when he looked at Guan Jiyu.
The nobility in those eyes is still there, but not so distant anymore.
Xia Mingzhong walked in from the outside at this time, leaned over and whispered something into King Ying's ear. King Ying nodded and said, "You guys eat first." Xia Mingzhong pushed him out.
When Jin Chan saw that King Ying had left, she couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed. She reached out and picked up a piece of green vegetables with her chopsticks and bit it slowly. At this moment, she and Guan Jiyu were the only ones left in the dining room.
Guan Jiyu's expression did not change, and he still ate the food as before. Occasionally, if there were dishes that were out of reach, he would stand up to pick them up without feeling any trouble at all.
No one spoke in the dining room, except for the faint and almost inaudible sound of eating.
"Since you have come to the capital, why don't you go home?" Jin Chan was the first to break the silence. She sat opposite Guan Jiyu. She put down her chopsticks and looked straight at Guan Jiyu.
Guan Jiyu knew that the "home" she was referring to was Xiang Lincheng's family.
This home was just Xiang Lincheng's home. At this moment, Jin Chan asked very naturally: "Why don't you go home?" This made Guan Jiyu feel very awkward.
Guan Jiyu stirred the hot soup in the bowl with a spoon and said: "I have my own important things to do when I come to the capital. I will live wherever is convenient. Who stipulates that I must live in his home when I come to the capital?"
Jin Chan was startled for a moment. He didn't expect her smell of gunpowder to be so strong. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Why are you angry? I didn't say anything to make you angry, right?"
Guan Jiyu continued to eat and asked, "Am I angry?"
Jin Chan did not continue to dwell on this issue. She changed the topic and asked: "Did you tell Lincheng that you came here? Does he know you are here?"
Guan Jiyu put down his chopsticks, sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "Let's eat. You haven't had a few bites of food since you came in. Aren't you hungry?"
Jin Chan's eyes were clear, and he saw that Guan Jiyu didn't want to talk more, so he wisely stopped asking any more questions.
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to care about you. Don't get me wrong, I just think you are a friend of Lincheng, and you are also my friend. There is nothing wrong with caring about you, right?" Jin Chan said to Guan Jiyu in front of him.
The sweet and sour meatballs he was eating pushed forward and said, "I ask myself, I haven't done anything to offend you, right? Why do you always have a hostile attitude toward me?"
"You misunderstood." Guan Jiyu put the remaining sweet and sour meatballs on the plate into his bowl and said, "I have never had any hostile attitude towards you. To be honest, I am not even familiar with you. You
I just said that friends in Lincheng are your friends, I don't agree with this, because based on our acquaintance, I don't think I can still regard you as my friend."
Jin Chan's face turned slightly red due to embarrassment.
Guan Jiyu saw her embarrassment and explained naturally: "I'm sorry, martial arts practitioners are not so particular about their words. I am just a rough person. If there is anything I say that makes you unhappy, I hope you will bear with me."
Jin Chan waved his hand and said: "Why are you unhappy? Miss Guan, you think of me too stingy."
Guan Jiyu said nothing. She picked up the soup bowl and poured out the contents. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 140 Inquire
He drank the hot soup in one gulp, put down the bowl and walked out silently.
Jin Chan looked at Guan Jiyu's exhausted back, and then looked at her slow and weak pace, Jin Chan couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
After Guan Jiyu finished her meal, she went back and took a long nap with her head covered. Master Zeng Qi was preparing a new prescription and temporarily gave her a short rest. Guan Jiyu had nowhere to go, and he really didn't have the energy to go out for a walk.
, I can only hide in the room and sleep.
Autumn is slightly chilly, and the evening breeze is getting cooler.
Guan Jiyu slept until dusk when he was woken up by the cold wind blowing in through the window. He was about to get up and close the window when he heard a loud noise outside.
She no longer felt sleepy, so she opened the door and stuck her head out to see who was talking.
A few maids gathered in the garden outside, chatting and laughing. Prince Ying and Xia Mingzhong probably haven't come back yet after they left the house, so they dared to talk and laugh so wantonly.
Each of them held a bulging purse-like thing in their hands, and they would put it in front of their noses and sniff it from time to time.
Guan Jiyu was bored, so he walked out of the room and asked them: "What are you bringing? Is it a sachet? It's autumn now, and the Dragon Boat Festival has already passed, so why are there still sachets?"
After Guan Jiyu came to the palace, she rarely spoke to the people in the palace. The servants who served her had seen her being taciturn. She suddenly asked the question, which made the maids freeze in place for a while.
The maid who usually served Guan Jiyu was also inside. She quickly reacted and replied respectfully: "Girl, this is a purse filled with medicinal materials. Miss Jin Chan gave it to everyone in the house. Autumn is coming.
Han, Miss Jin Chan said that taking some out every day and using it to soak your feet is good for your health."
Guan Jiyu nodded and said, "Oh."
Just as he was talking, Jin Chan came over and saw Guan Jiyu standing at the door of the room. Jin Chan smiled and said, "Everyone has one. I just wanted to bring it to you. I heard they said they didn't disturb you after you fell asleep."
Jin Chan took out an exquisite purse and handed it to Guan Jiyu. As expected, the scent of medicine came from the purse.
Guan Jiyu didn't reach out to pick it up. She looked at her purse and shook her head, saying, "I don't want it."
