Chapter 5.1

Wen Chi was sure that he didn’t know the woman.

In fact, in this huge East palace, apart from Ruo Fang, Ruo Tao and Ping An from bamboo flute residence, he only knew the crown prince who he had met once.

Hopefully it won’t be exposed…

In an instant, Wen Chi’s heartbeat skipped a beat and he almost couldn’t breathe.

Before Wen Chi could speak, the woman had already walked up to him, staring at him with her deer-like eyes and said with a familiar smile, “I came to the East Palace the day before yesterday and paid a visit to Young Master Wen.”

Cold sweat seeped out from the corner of Wen Chi’s forehead.

He quickly calmed down, looked at the woman carefully for a while and found that the woman was beautiful but unfortunately she was not familiar at all. He searched through his memory and couldn’t find anyone the right person.

Before he could speak, the woman smiled again: “Unfortunately, I happened to see Young Master Wen leave, so I could only look at Young Master Wen from a distance. Just now I saw Young Master Wen’s back a little familiar, that’s how I recognized you.”

Hearing this, Wen Chi breathed a sigh of relief, but the suspended heart never settled down.

Fortunately…

He thought that the woman recognized that he was not Wen Liang.

When the woman saw that Wen Chi looked tense, she couldn’t help but laugh: “My name is Yue Shan, it seems like Young Master Wen is somewhat shy around strangers.”

“Yes.” Wen Chi lowered his eyes and said smoothly, “I still have some things to do, so I won’t accompany you guys to play.”

After saying that, he wanted to slip away.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t even taken a few steps when Yue Shan called at him again.

“Young Master Wen, wait.” Yue Shan said, “It just so happened that I brought some good things with me and I want to give it to Young Master Wen. Since Young Master Wen did not bring out the palace maid and eunuch, why don’t you come with me to sit down by the way and have a chat.”

Wen Chi turned his neck stiffly: “What is it?”

Who knew that Yue Shan winked mysteriously and said: “Young Master Wen will know when he goes there.”

Wen Chi: “…”

So under the different eyes of everyone, Wen Chi had to follow Yue Shan out of the pavilion.

It can be seen that Yue Shan’s status among this group of people is not low. Not only was others like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon1众星捧月 [zhòng xīng pěng yuè] A myriad of stars surround the moon;   all the famous stars drawing a circle of admirers around him or her;   All the stars bend towards the moon;   Many people cluster around the one whom they respect, but some people were even reluctant to part with her. There was even a young man who gave Wen Chi a vicious look.

Wen Chi didn’t know how to react, so he simply smiled at him.

As a result, the boy was so angry that he looked like a puffer fish about to burst into flames but Yue Shan glanced at him and said, “Yue Gui.” Yue Shan’s sweet voice suddenly cooled down, “Don’t be rude.”

The boy named Yue Gui froze and his head drooped like an eggplant hit by frost and the whole person’s aura was weakened.

After walking for some time, Wen Chi pondered the names of Yue Shan and Yue Gui.

Yue Shan seemed to see his doubts and waved his hand to make the two palace maids behind him move further away and then said, “Yue Gui is my younger brother.  I entered the palace with him two days ago.”

Wen Chi understood.

No wonder their names are so similar.

But having said that, that crown prince is too beastly. It’s just a matter of asking for a sister and even his younger brother is not spared.

The two walked for nearly a stick of incense2half an hour before arriving at Yue Shan’s Yu Sheng Residence.

The environmental conditions of Yu Sheng Residence are similar to those of Bamboo Flute Residence, both are quite simple. But Yue Shan and the two maids are good at planting flowers in the courtyard and even the house has a faint fragrance of flowers.

Wen Chi sat and waited for a while and then saw Yue Shan bring a small wooden box from the bedroom.

“This is the tea my father’s old friend brought back from Xizhou. I heard that it tastes very good but unfortunately I don’t understand these things. Even the best tea leaves are wasted here.” Yue Shan handed the wooden box to Wen Chi , “If Young Master Wen likes tea, I can offer it as a pretext to exchange flowers to offer to Buddha.”

However, Wen Chi also doesn’t like drinking tea.

But Yue Shan brought the tea to him so enthusiastically that it would look unreasonable if Wen Chi didn’t take it.

Wen Chi hesitated for a moment and then took the wooden box: “Thank you.”

Yue Shan smiled shyly: “Young Master Wen is too polite.”

Wen Chi took the box and was about to leave when Yue Shan said that he wanted to send him out but instead she accompanied him for most of the journey.

Seeing that they were about to reach Bamboo Flute Residence, Wen Chi insisted on not letting Yue Shan continue to accompany him. He always felt that Yue Shan was overly enthusiastic about him, which was really a bit weird.

After all, in the deep palace, it is better to be careful.

Yue Shan saw that his attitude was firm and she was no longer reluctant.

Just when Wen Chi thought that this matter had finally come to an end, he suddenly noticed that Yue Shan’s eyes suddenly turned red and in an instant a layer of water mist climbed up her eyes.

Before he could realize what was going on, he saw large teardrops welling up in Yue Shan’s eyes.

“Yue…Yue Shan?”
