Two Princesses - Guan Yun

  Prince's Mansion

  With a flick of her sleeve, she strode into the mansion, passing through the front hall and calling out to a pretty maid, "Zi Chun, have you seen where the princess is at this moment?"

  "Your Highness, the princess is brewing tea in the kitchen. The princess doesn't allow us to do it ourselves, so..."

  "Alright, you go ahead!" After saying that, Yu Zi Chen turned around and headed towards the kitchen.

  Just then, before Yu Zi Chen had even reached the kitchen, he could already hear the sound of laughter coming from inside. It was a woman's voice, extremely clear and loud, "Hey, princess, why are you chopping scallions? You'll make yourself cry!"

  Still that cute voice, still that carefree personality, even as the second queen, she hasn't changed one bit.

  Yu Zi Chen stood at the kitchen door, feeling very pleased in his heart for having met such a queen.

  At this time, Yu Xinrui ran out of the kitchen, "Choked to death by Ben Gong, choked to death by Ben Gong!"

  Her appearance made Yu Zi Chen roll his eyes and weakly say, "Cough cough, I'm telling you, Yu Xin Rui, when did you sneak out of the palace?"

  Yu Xin raised her head and looked forward. Yu Zi Jun's elegant face appeared in front of her, and she immediately brightened up, "Second Imperial Brother, you're back!"

  Yu Zi Xuan walked up, took the handkerchief from Yu Xin Rui's sleeve and helped her wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes. From a distance, he could smell a strong onion flavor and scolded with some blame: "You're already twenty years old, yet you're still so mischievous. Don't think that just because your older brother dotes on you, no one can discipline you. I'll go find the Empress Dowager tomorrow and have her choose a husband for you!"

  "Stop it!" Yu Xinrui's face turned pale at Yu Zichen's words, "Second Brother, the Princess doesn't even want a husband yet, what's good about getting married?"

  "It's getting more and more troublesome, wipe it yourself!" Yu Zi Chen bluntly stuffed the handkerchief into Yu Xin Rui's hand and walked sideways into the kitchen.

  A faintly visible pale white back, facing away from the door, facing away from the dust, in front of the stove in the kitchen, fiddling with something, busy to no end.

  The young master walked over with light steps, without making a sound, until he stood behind the master's back, then stretched out his hand and wrapped it around the master's slender waist, holding him tightly.

  Guanyun, who was putting tea leaves into the teacup, suddenly felt someone's arm around her waist and stiffened. But when she sensed the person's breath, she relaxed and said with a hint of frustration on her delicate face, "Your Highness, I'm brewing tea right now. Please make some space for me, or I'll accidentally spill it on you and that would be a crime!"

  "Alright, Princess, stop messing around. Come on, I have something to say to you." As he spoke, Yu Zi Chen let go of Guan Yun's waist and took her hand, leading her out of the kitchen.

  Seeing the two of them come out hand in hand, Yu Xin Rui couldn't help but cover her mouth and say, "Can't bear to see you two like this!"

  "Speak properly and show some respect!"

  Get out of my sight!

  Yuzi dust no longer paid attention to her, pulling Guan Yunyun to sit down on the stone bench outside the kitchen, only then did he open his mouth and say what was in his heart. "Yun'er, this month, I may not have time to return to the mansion to see you, because I need to take care of your good sister Feng Yiwu's and the Emperor's affairs, and must live outside. But I want to see you every day, are you willing to follow me?"

  "Like this, won't it destroy them?"

  "It won't do," said Yuzi Chen, "I've already arranged for them to be together. Die Wu found a job at a wine shop and guess what? The Emperor saw her working there and now he wants to work there too! Of course, you and I both know what's on his mind - if he didn't have feelings for Die Wu, why would he stoop to working in a wine shop? So, I've come back to find you and take you to that wine shop to apply for a job as a cook!"

  As soon as he heard it was a cook's job, Guan Yun sprang up excitedly and asked: "Really?"

  "I want to work too! I want to work too!"
