"Fifth brother has grown up, and can talk more and more." Zhang Yan smiled, her face bright, with the elegance of a southern woman, but also dignity and decentness. Maybe this is the style of maternal ritual! Maybe in order to give Zhu Youjian a sense of family, she didn't wear a phoenix robe and phoenix crown, but a normal palace costume. The water-red silk blouse faintly reflects the dazzling brilliance. The waist is tied with a light blue ribbon, and the hem of the ribbon sways in the air with her movement. Underneath is a white silk dress and the bottom of the skirt. Just hit the ground, half covering the soft-soled embroidered shoes. "I've been here to speak, the fifth disciple is Chuan, please sit down!" She didn't call her own palace, making Zhu Youjian feel very kind.

"Xie Huangsao." Zhu Youjian sat down on a mahogany chair with the guidance of the maid, and another maid brought him fragrant tea.

Zhang Yan found that Zhu Youzhen was a little embarrassed, so she wanted to adjust the atmosphere. She thought that Zhu Youzhen was recovering from the beginning and lacked energy. How did she think that Zhu Youzhen was just entering the palace for the first time

"Wan'er usually takes care of her fifth brother? Is there anything wrong with Wan'er's usual care of her fifth brother?" Zhang Yan was called a bald donkey to the monk. Of course, Zhang Yan would not be so tasteless. She knew that Wan'er had taken care of Zhu Youjian very well. The average maid can take care of it, and the happiness of her life lies in the master. Although Zhang Yan swept across Zhu Youjian and Wan'er's faces with a smile, she didn't mean to punish Wan'er at all, but Wan'er was still very scared. She hung her head down and did not dare to say anything.

Zhu Youzhen was also taken aback. Although he didn't spend much time with Wan'er, he could feel that Wan'er took good care of him. If someone assassinates Zhu Youzhen, I believe Wan'er would not hesitate to call herself weak. The body leaped towards the murderer. "Xie Huang's wife is concerned. Wan'er took good care of her younger brother, and even things that the younger brother did not expect, Wan'er thought of it." After speaking, Wan'er glanced at Wan'er casually, and Wan'er blushed, thanking her for gratitude. Smile.

Zhang Yan also glanced at Wan'er, with a faint smile on her face, as if she had realized something.

After some daily routines, the sun will soon reach the top of the head without knowing it.

"Your emperor brother said, come over to eat today, the fifth brother will stay and eat together! Your emperor brother is very concerned about your injury! Since the fifth brother is healed, your emperor brother will be happy." Zhang Yan is still A faint smile, beautiful eyes seemed to speak better than a small mouth.

Zhu Youjian was about to talk to Zhu Youxiao about going to the barracks. He is a prince and a minor. Without the permission of the emperor, he could not enter the barracks. He just had a chance to eat with Zhu Youxiao, so he naturally wanted to stay. , "So, thank you Huangsao."

"The royal person is thin, and the emperor doesn't even have an heir... The royal family has only two brothers, so you should get closer and closer." The peace on Zhang Yan's face gradually disappeared, and annoyance and sorrow appeared instead.

"Emperor's wife..." Zhu Youjian knows something about the royal family based on his two lives' experience. Zhu Youxiao is his eldest brother, and his second, third, fourth and sixth brothers all died as minors. Zhang Yan had been pregnant several times, and all had an "accidental" miscarriage under the secret calculation of the castration party. In terms of family relationship, Zhu Youjian is indeed the closest person to Zhu Youxiao. Remembering that his adoptive mother was also depressed under the blow of the eunuch, Zhu Youzhen didn't notice the fierce light in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash...

Zhang Yan waved her hand and didn't let Zhu Youzhen go on, her face returned to a flat smile, as if she had come out of pain. Years of secret battles in the palace made her develop the habit of restraining her emotions. Even thinking of the child who had died, the pain on her face was only a short moment.

There were only three people for lunch, Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youjian, and Zhang Yan. Numerous court ladies, including Wan'er, stood behind, ready to share their worries for the master.
