Indeed, when it was time for dinner, Prince Zhan had punctually appeared in Nangong Waner's courtyard. At that time, Nangong Waner was standing under the tree in a daze, bored and staring at the hibiscus flowers, and Prince Zhan had coincidentally walked over at this time.

The Prince Zhan's Mansion had planted many hibiscus trees, and every one of them were opened verdant and lush. Other than the Prince Zhan's Mansion's hibiscus tree, which had grown so well, Nangong Waner had never seen such a beautiful hibiscus tree before.

For some reason, when Nangong Waner looked at these Hibiscus trees, he always felt a sense of déjà vu. He had some vague memories about them.

"Where did you see it?" Nangong Waner unknowingly thought of thousands of things, and every single scene was extremely blurry, to the point where he was simply unable to grasp a single clue.

Nangong Waner stood under the tree for a good while. Then, the Prince Zhan watched Nangong Waner silently standing under the tree for a good while. Gradually, a few petals floated down from the tree and landed on Nangong Waner's body.

Prince Zhan helped Nangong Waner pluck a flower petal on his head and laughed, "What are you looking at?"

Nangong Waner naturally knew that the Prince Zhan had come, but when he saw Hua Hua Meng, his eyes started to hurt, and he quickly blinked his eyes to alleviate the pain. After a while, he turned to look at the Prince Zhan and said, "I just think that the flowers in the Duke Palaces are really pretty.

When Prince Zhan saw that it was getting late, he raised his hand to signal for the food to be passed on, while Nangong Waner quietly waited at the side as if his appetite was very good.

After a while, the food was placed on a plate on the table. Nangong Waner was drooling while holding the chopsticks, and said to Prince Zhan clearly, "I don't know why, but I seem to be very used to living in the Prince's Mansion. I didn't even sleep well after returning to Assistant Minister’s Residence for a few days, eh? How about you rent this yard to me? "I'm not that big of a person, so I'll just stay in this side of the yard. Otherwise, you'll have to clean when you're free. I'll help you clean when I live here, and save up some manpower from your house. What do you think?"

Prince Zhan laughed, he did not say a word, and only raised his arms to cook for Nangong Waner.

However, Nangong Waner continued to speak with poise, "Your indifferent reaction seems to be telling me that your Duke Palace is not lacking in money!"

The Prince Zhan indifferently replied, "The Duke Palaces are indeed lacking that silver."

Nangong Waner also acted very casually, "Oh, when my father came, he gave me a bag of silver, saying that he wanted to pay for the food and food in the King's Manor as well as the Elder Xiu's Bian You. I do not lack money in the King's Manor, so I will stay." After he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Xiuhan with bright eyes. After he finished reading, he immediately lowered his head and started to eat.

Chu Xiuhan chuckled, "So you came to my house to eat and drink for free, and even paid me as my teacher."

Nangong Wan'er immediately put down her bowl of rice and said seriously, "Hey, you can't speak carelessly. We have prepared a great gift. Look, my father said that this is a very good tea, even in the entire Tiansheng Dynasty, it is still very precious." As she said that, Nangong Wan'er brought out a packet of tea and gently passed it to Chu Xiuhan, continuing, "This is a small token from our assistant minister's house, please accept it.

Chu Xiuhan lowered his gaze slightly as he looked at the tea leaves that Nangong Waner had passed to him. He tried his best to hold back his laughter, but his face was full of shock.

Chu Xiuhan's performance was far beyond Nangong Waner's expectations, Nangong Waner thought that Chu Xiuhan was someone who had seen the world, but he never expected that he would not be able to differentiate between tea leaves either. Nangong Waner was extremely happy, and quickly ate two bowls of rice.

After Nangong Waner finished eating, the Prince Zhan wanted to pull her out to eat, and the Prince Zhan said, "Eat too much, so don't accumulate food. I'll bring you around the manor. "In addition, Elder Xiu will enter the Duke's Mansion tomorrow and I'll lead you to the bamboo forest's study room to take a look. Tomorrow, you will have to follow Elder Xiu to study in the bamboo forest's study room."

When Nangong Waner initially heard about Elder Xiu's arrival tomorrow, his mood became heavy, he sat there unhappily, as if his legs were filled with lead, unable to move. Then, she heard the bamboo forest study room again, Nangong Waner immediately raised his head, looking at the Prince Zhan with eyes full of light as he quickly stood up. Prince Zhan who was too shocked by the quick change of events, frowned and looked at Nangong Waner, probing his expression.

Nangong Waner, on the other hand, was beaming with joy as he walked over, "Let's go, aren't we going to the bamboo forest study?"

The Prince Zhan was a little confused, but followed him. Just as they were about to reach the bamboo forest's direction, Nangong Waner stopped Chu Xiuhan, "Don't go any further. You stand here for a while, I'll scout ahead."

Prince Zhan did not understand what Nangong Waner meant, but he still stopped after hearing what he said.

Nangong Waner walked away like a gust of wind, then turned back and returned with a smile on his face as he asked Prince Zhan, "If there's two sculpture-like people killing their way out and slashing their sabers at me later, remember to come and save me as soon as possible."

The Prince Zhan was confused, "The Duke's Mansion is heavily guarded, why would someone come out to kill you?"

Nangong Waner laughed, "You mean the hidden guards that are secretly protecting your bamboo forest study! "It's quite funny, it's the first time I've come out to scare me. The second time, I didn't show up, but I cherished my life and didn't dare to barge in. I plan to try again this time."

Prince Zhan finally understood that Nangong Waner's strange expression and train of thought just now were just curiosity and playfulness for the bamboo forest study room. The first time Nangong Waner stayed in the Duke Palace, when he went back to the bamboo forest study room to report some matters to a guard, the guard mentioned, "The Miss Nangong made an attempt to break in during the day, but he was stopped by the guard on duty at the entrance."

Prince Zhan replied indifferently, "If Wan Er wants to come in the future, just come. There's no need to stop her."

The guards were shocked. It was forbidden to enter the bamboo forest's study room, and this was only the first time it was a girl's home.

As a result, today, when Nangong Waner secretly threw Prince Zhan aside and ran to the entrance of the bamboo forest to take her examination, even when she was stepping on the doorstep back and forth, even when she extended her leg into the courtyard and entered into the courtyard, she did not see a single person who came out to stop her.

She looked confused as she stood in the yard. "Am I wrong?"

The Prince Zhan helplessly pulled Nangong Waner in and entered the courtyard. Only then did Nangong Waner realise that the bamboo house that looked simple from the outside was just for decoration and that the courtyard was very spacious.

"Why is there a small hot spring here …" Nangong Waner could not help but exclaim, this was just too corrupt. Previously, from the outside, he thought it was just a few simple bamboo houses, and he himself even mocked Chu Xiuhan for his elegance.

"I will rest here sometimes. If I get tired, I will soak here for a while before sleeping." The Prince Zhan explained.

Nangong Waner looked at Chu Xiuhan in admiration, "You're really great!"

"Wan Er, Elder Xiu has always been a person with high eyesight and has always paid attention to etiquette. When he comes to the Duke Palace tomorrow, you should quickly wait in his study. When she comes, you have to serve him tea. Chu Xiuhan worriedly warned.

However, Nangong Waner was not worried, it was said that a scholar was elegant, with the high literary status of the Elder Xiu, he would definitely not be too pedantic, and would take the opportunity to act accordingly. After thinking about it, Nangong Waner then continued to feel the table and chairs carved with chicken wings wood. This set of table and chairs had a set of "Four Gentlemen" patterns carved onto it along with the wood carvings. It looked really good, Nangong Waner liked it very much and touched it again and again.
