[R18] (Quickly wear it) Baby, you are with the wrong person – Chapter 664 of “(Quickly Wear) Baby You Are with the Wrong Person” [English]
by☆. The princess married until she was 17
“When I was still in the palace… look at me,” the woman scratched the back of her head in embarrassment, “when I was still in the dormitory, I never thought that the prince’s birthday would be so lively one day.”
Because in Prince Jin’s Mansion, no one would celebrate Shu Zhan’s birthday.He always heard that his father took his third brother out to race horses today, and took his eldest sister out to swim in the lake tomorrow. His father, his concubine Li, and the younger brothers and sisters born by Li, it seems that they are a real family.
Only his mother and wet nurse still remember his birthday.
“The empress will make a basket of steamed buns for the prince. They are white and round, with long ears sticking out from them.” The woman gestured with her hands, “like a nest of rabbits.”
One after another, cute rabbit buns are placed in a small steamer made of bamboo. Under the candlelight, the soft skin seems to be coated with a layer of honey color.It was like a midnight dream, and time rolled back to Prince Jin’s Mansion. In the small side compartment in the small courtyard, the woman opened the cage, the heat rose, and the room was filled with soft and fragrant sweetness.
“Wow, little rabbit!” The boy stood on tiptoes, holding the edge of the table with his two little hands, trying hard to reach the round little rabbit in the cage, “Mom, mom, give me one!”
“Be careful, brother Zhan,” the warm hand came down and touched the heart of he’s forehead, “if you burn your mouth, I don’t care about it.”
“Your Highness,” the girl put the lid of the steamer on the table, “please have a taste of tonight’s supper.”
“What is this?” Shu Zhan frowned, “It’s so ugly.”
Yao Ji was a little embarrassed: “I did it.”
It was the first time she made this kind of rabbit buns, and it took her a lot of effort not to get any weird shapes. She was really not good at pastry, so she spent half an hour in the small kitchen of the East Palace before she was done.
“Although the dishes at the banquet are good, we can’t use them more.” She pushed the steamer in front of Shu Zhan again, “Just try it.”
It was already the beginning of the ugly moment, and the Imperial City, which had been noisy all day, fell silent, with only the faint sound of wind outside the window and the sound of candle wicks burning.
Opening his mouth, Shu Zhan wanted to say something.
Why, why rabbit steamed buns, why do you want to make rabbit steamed buns for me.Old memories have settled down in the long barren river. On the river bank, there are only stones one after another and a lone figure walking on the stones.he stretched out his hand and grabbed a steamed bun,
Bang, the lanterns exploded.
The candle flame suddenly rose, and the drifting heat seemed to distort and blur the vision. In the melting halo, the girl’s lips curled up, and there seemed to be stars in her eyes.
“Is it delicious?”
He handed the steamed bun to his lips and took a big bite. The soft and sweet fragrance filled his mouth——
“Is it delicious, Brother Zhan?”
“…Hmm,” the young man lowered his eyes, “It’s delicious.”

After that night, although Shu Zhan’s attitude towards Yao Ji remained the same, Yao Ji always felt that something had changed.
It was an indescribable feeling, like a layer of ice on the lake, thick, but after all, you could see some ripples underneath.
She is still not sure whether Shu Zhan is really stupid or fake. It’s not that she hasn’t tried it again, but she really can’t see anything strange in Shu Zhan’s performance.In the end, she simply gave up. Whether she was really stupid or fake, Shu Zhan was Shu Zhan.
“Zhan Zhan Lusi, I’m here at Qi Ji. A gentleman who shows his promise will always be virtuous. Your Highness, I heard that when the late emperor was still alive, he gave His Highness a small character called “Xian Yun”. Do you still remember it?”
If Shu Zhan’s mind only stayed at the age of four, then he obviously didn’t remember it. He thought blankly and shook his head slightly: “Grandpa, my grandfather used to ask me to go to the palace to play.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember.” The girl opened the Book of Songs to the page “Zhanlu” and spread it out in front of him. “Let’s just learn this song today.”
“Why do I need to learn this?” The young man frowned, “Aunt Dong also said I don’t need to learn these things.”
For a fool, he certainly does not need to be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, or even to be literate.But Yao Ji felt that this shouldn’t be the case. Even if Shu Zhan was stupid, he was a human being, and Na Bo was a genuine four-year-old child who should be enlightened by now.
How much of the palace’s infinite connivance toward him is pity, and how much is malice?
“I don’t want to learn,” Shu Zhan pushed the book away, “I want to go out to play, don’t come with me.” He stood up and called the two little eunuchs standing aside to go out, “If you always force me to do this or that, grandma will be unhappy, huh!”
The next day, Yao Ji went to Cihe Palace to pay her respects, and she was beaten as expected.
The Queen Mother always had a kind look on her face, and when she hit her, she just said lightly: “The prince is a child after all, why do you have to restrain him? I heard that you also let him read the Book of Songs?” She laughed as she said it, as if she was joking, “If he has a temper, you will suffer.”
Yao Ji felt a chill on her back, she lowered her eyebrows and admitted it was wrong. Thinking of Shu Zhan’s words, was he intentional or unintentional?
Of course, she didn’t expect that the Queen Mother would know what happened in the East Palace, and she was just using the Book of Songs to test the bottom line of the two palaces. Now it seems that no matter what abnormality she detects in Shu Zhan, she must not show any signs.Otherwise, what awaits the East Palace is a disaster.
On the way back to the palace, she was worried all the way.
The East Palace is located on the left side of Qian’an Palace, not far from the former dynasty because it is adjacent to Zhanshi Mansion.Yao Ji sat on the chariot and walked south. She saw Qian’an Gate in the distance, and saw a group of imperial guards gathered there, and the one sitting in the middle was Shu Zhan.
“Lin Xiangan,” she gestured to the eunuch waiting beside the chariot, “go and ask what the prince is doing?”
Lin Xiang’an trotted all the way after receiving the order. Before he got close, someone suddenly exclaimed. It turned out that Shu Zhan was waving his whip and running.He obviously didn’t know how to ride a horse, and the horse roared with its hooves. He was so frightened that he quickly hugged the horse’s neck with his hands and even threw away his whip.
Suddenly, there was chaos in front of Qian’an Gate.
Yao Ji quickly asked someone to carry the chariot over. When she arrived, the frightened horse had been stopped by an imperial forest. The imperial forest grabbed Shu Zhan’s hand and helped him down. Hearing two sharp whistles, a eunuch said from the side: “Everyone, hurry up, the crown princess is here.”
He hurriedly knelt down and saluted with his colleagues, when he heard a gentle voice coming from above: “Prince, it’s okay.”
The boy was in shock: “No, it’s okay.” He’s hand was still holding Yu Lin’s shoulder. Thinking that it was Yu Lin who saved him, the child’s thinking was always the most out-of-the-box, “My cousin saved me. Look, this is Kong Zhao, the cousin of the Kong family.”
“Kong Zhao, who is the leader of this spring’s martial arts competition?”
The gentle voice seemed to smile, and Kong Zhao felt his heart skip a beat, but he couldn’t raise his head due to etiquette, so he just responded respectfully.
She said a few more words, and after seeing that Shu Zhan was indeed fine, she ordered someone to promote him.The royal guards stood up, and just as the chariot turned around, Kong Zhao saw the graceful figure sitting on the chariot.
Just a glimpse, but his palms were sweating, and the bright moon rippled like a swing in the girl’s ears, as if a stone dropped on the lake in his heart stirred up a pool of spring water.
“Cousin?” A voice awakened Kong Zhao’s thoughts.
Kong Zhao turned around in a hurry and stammered, not knowing whether he was overwhelmed or embarrassed: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty.”
“What are you looking at?” Shu Zhan smiled.
Kong Zhao was speechless for a moment. Somehow, he actually felt that the prince seemed to have seen through his gaffe just now, but how could this be possible?
“Is that the tree there?” The boy’s voice suddenly rose, and he laughed, with the carefree innocence of a child, “What a tall tree…”
