Chapter 106: Tell Your Majesty, I Like It Very Much
It’s just past noon and the sun is much hotter than in the morning. Who would come here at this time?
Could it be Empress Xian who has been coming here from time to time since she sent some pastries?
But every time Concubine Xian came, Lan Fu was never in a good mood. Seeing her cheerful and lively look, Yun Ji guessed that it was not Concubine Xian who came this time.
But he had no friends in the deep palace. Who else could it be if it wasn't Concubine Xian who seemed unable to understand other people's expressions?
Unable to guess who the person was, Yun Ji raised his head and asked Lan Fu, "Who is it?"
"It's actually the Seventh Princess," Lan Fu spoke very quickly due to her excitement, "It's the Seventh Princess who is said to be as beautiful as a flower. Oh, no wonder people always say that seeing is believing. The Seventh Princess is really stunning!"
Yun Yan?
Why did she come to Zhuixia Palace?
His memory of her only stayed on that of a sister who was a few years younger than him. Yun Ji couldn't understand why she came over without even saying hello.
Recalling Nan Yingzhi's words "I will find someone to see you", Yun Ji suddenly understood the answer.
It turns out that the person Nan Yingzhi was talking about, "you know her", was Yun Yan.
It was hard for Nan Yingzhi. When she heard herself say "I want someone to accompany me", she asked Yun Yan to come over to dispel her loneliness.
Thinking about all that she had given to him silently, Yun Ji felt as if his heart, which was as dry as firewood, was ignited by a fire and was warmed.
The fire was not going away and burned along the throat all the way to the face.
His face felt hot, and he unconsciously fanned himself with his hands to try to cool it down.
Unlike before when she teased him when she saw him blushing, Lan Fu seemed not to notice his actions and was busy with her work.
She laughed, tidied up the messy table with her hands, and quickly took out a spare empty cup to pour tea for Yun Yan.
Seeing Lan Fu's envious and infatuated eyes, Yun Ji thought of some scenes and couldn't help but discover a pattern.
Whenever Lan Fu showed this kind of look, it was when she saw a beautiful girl.
Not to mention others, this was the look of relief on Lan Fu's face when she finished dressing him up, looked into the bronze mirror, and then looked back at his makeup.
Although he had always heard people in the palace and the public saying that Yun Yan's "appearance was beyond compare", Yun Ji was not interested in her, perhaps because he had many opportunities to interact with her, or because he himself was also beautiful.
Yun Ji looked carefully at Yun Yan who walked in slowly and smiled at him. His eyes rolled and his face was expressionless.
Can such appearance be called beautiful?
Why did he feel like he was not even one-tenth as good as Nan Yingzhi?
"Beautiful sister," thinking that this was the person that the emperor favored, Yun Yan's eyebrows curved and she spoke sweetly, "How are you doing in the palace?"
After all, Yun Ji had dealt with Yun Yan a lot, so he had a certain understanding of her.
In front of him, she didn't dare to act wildly at all and would only call him "Royal Brother" seriously.
Why did she completely change her attitude towards "Beauty Lian" and call her "Beauty Sister"?
Even though he tried his best to comfort himself that "beauty" was his status and there was nothing wrong with Yun Yan calling him that, Yun Ji still felt inexplicably tight in the chest and short of breath because of the word "sister" and did not want to talk for a while.
With outsiders present, Lan Fu was not comfortable calling Yun Ji "Miss" anymore, nor was it appropriate to address him as "you and me".
Thinking that he was the only one there, Yun Ji was not in a position to talk to Yun Yan. Lan Fu filled his teacup and then left tactfully: "My lady, you can chat with the princess. I will wait outside."
Lan Fu closed the door gently, leaving only the siblings Yun Ji and Yun Yan in the room.
Originally, Yun Ji thought that since neither he nor Yun Yan liked to talk, the atmosphere between them would become quiet after Lan Fu left.
Unexpectedly, facing "a girl of about the same age as herself" instead of a "conservative older brother", Yun Yan had one topic after another.
After being warned by Ling Feng, Yun Yan stopped gossiping about the relationship between Yun Ji and Nan Yingzhi. She first followed Ling Feng's instructions and presented a gift to Yun Ji in a proper manner.
Unlike the pure music score that Lingfeng gave her, Yun Yan thought that this was a gift for someone, so she wrapped it carefully in silk cloth and then covered it with a layer of exquisite outer cover before entering the palace.
"Sister," she handed the gift to Yun Ji and whispered, "This is a gift that the prince specifically ordered Yan'er to bring to you."
Seeing the beautifully wrapped gift, Yun Ji couldn't help but get excited, and even his hands were shaking as he took the gift.
Little Gardenia, what will you give yourself?
Slowly opening the package and seeing the piano score inside, Yun Ji's eyes suddenly lit up and his expression became lively like a dead tree coming back to life in spring.
A few days ago, he went to the library and searched everywhere, but he didn't find any new music scores, only old ones.
The harem was not connected to the outside world, and he was worried about how to get new music scores.
Coincidentally, what Nan Yingzhi sent him were the new songs composed by Qinfang that he had heard of, as well as several music scores that he had long heard of but had never seen in person.
Yun Ji gently stroked the music score and felt its texture, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Did she give these to me specially because she saw me playing the piano last time and thought I liked it?
Really meticulous and thoughtful observation.
Seeing his sincere smile, Yun Yan was also infected, and the corners of her mouth, which were already raised, curled up even more: "Sister, do you like this gift?"
"I like it." Yun Ji put the music sheet away, cherishing it and holding it in his arms, "Please tell the prince that I like it very much."
"The prince picked it himself," Yun Yan thought that Ling Feng had brought it over, and that it was bought by the emperor himself. She said a few more words to make Yun Ji happy, "As long as sister likes it."
Feeling happy, Yun Ji finally let go of the knot about calling her "sister" and thanked her: "Thank you for traveling all the way to bring it here."
"It's not hard, it's not hard," Yun Yan leaned closer to Yun Ji as if to whisper something, "Sister, I actually have something to ask you."
