In the end, the conversation about Chu Ying ended unhappily, and Ruan Xiaonuan felt like she was being unreasonable. However, every time she wanted to speak, the words that she had prepared beforehand would suddenly disappear, and not a single word could be said.

And because of the exam, Gu Junxiu was not in Zhaoyang Palace almost every day, so they were in a stalemate.

And that day when Zi Jin woke up, she didn't misunderstand Ruan Xiaonuan. Instead, she chased Yun'er out of the Joyous Union Restaurant. There was a lot more peace and quiet beside her and she was also with Ruan Xiaonuan everyday as they chatted, and many days passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Junxiu had returned to the Zhaoyang Palace even less often, and as a personal servant, he was naturally rather idle since she wasn't in the palace. She rolled his eyes and pulled Zi Juan closer to his, "Zi Juan, let me teach you how to play poker. What if I win?

Because of the previous incident, there was only one thing that happened to Zi Juan in the Zhaoyang Palace, and that was to defend Ruan Xiaonuan to the death. No matter where she went, she had to follow him without leaving even an inch away.

If she had to stay in the main hall for a few times, and Zi Juan craned her neck to watch her play, she would definitely not be able to enjoy it. However, in just two days, she was already feeling uncomfortable all over.

Zi Juan knew what kind of personality she had and rejected her suggestion without a second thought. She advised sincerely, "Miss, did you forget that Your Highness is still angry right now? If he found out that you went out to cause trouble, everyone in Zhaoyang Palace would have to be very careful."

Although Gu Junxiu rarely returned to Zhaoyang Palace in the past few days, the palace maids and eunuchs were clearly aware of the gloom on his face, and did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of him. He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, he wouldn't be able to keep his little life.

When Ruan Xiaonuan heard her mention this name, the corners of her mouth immediately curled up. She complained in a low voice, "It's his own problem, it has nothing to do with me." If you listened carefully, there was still a lot of anger in her words.

However, because her voice was soft, Zi Juan did not hear what she said clearly. But no matter what methods Ruan Xiaonuan used, she would only reject him expressionlessly.

"Zi Juan, I really won't go out and cause trouble."

Ruan Xiaonuan reassured her again and again, but Zi Juan still shook her head as she looked at her helplessly.

After a while, she added, "If Miss feels too stuffy and really wants to go out, I must follow."

She was probably frightened by the sudden disappearance of her a few times before, so she became a lot more cautious.

Ruan Xiaonuan saw that he really couldn't understand her, and could only pretend to be a shadow behind her. When Zi Jin saw the two of them, she had even ruthlessly made fun of them.

"If you didn't serve anyone, why don't you go down to the palace and send someone over?" Ruan Xiaonuan sat in the pavilion and casually chatted.

Zi Jin immediately shook her head, the Yun'er before was a palace maid appointed by the palace and was easily bribed. She didn't want to do this again. She said indifferently, "There are quite a few palace maids in the Joyous Union Palace. I plan to nurture one myself."

When she first walked into Zhaoyang Palace, she also wanted to be doted on. However, after so long, she finally let it go. Knowing that she would never be able to leave the palace in her lifetime, she would most likely die of old age at the palace.

She had long since given up on that idea of trying to please him, but she didn't expect that even so, it would still bring about disaster. After what happened last time, she suddenly understood that only those who had been nurtured by her could be trusted.

Ruan Xiaonuan also roughly knew why she would do this, and did not continue to persuade her. She felt sorry for the women in the palace, and said while looking at her with a bit of pity, "Zi Jin, you're still young, do you want to leave the palace?" child

When the Scholar heard this, his face revealed a strange light. However, he then said dejectedly, "With my current identity, it is impossible for me to leave the palace."

At that time, Ruan Xiaonuan did not think of anything else, she only thought of one thing. "If you want to leave the palace, I can help you at any time."

Zi Jin laughed lightly, then suddenly walked to her side and whispered, "You are a girl, why are you pretending to be a eunuch to your highness? And he seems a little unusual to you. "

Ruan Xiaonuan opted out a little and looked at her warily. She pretended to be calm and said, "Zi Jin, although we have known each other for a long time, we cannot easily let this kind of joke go."

After she finished speaking, the pavilion sank into a terrifying silence. Because of her guilt, Ruan Xiaonuan did not dare to look at the expression on her face.

"Your Highness should be back by now. I'll be going back first." Ruan Xiaonuan wanted to quickly leave this place.

She helplessly stopped and said with an extremely calm tone of voice, "Miss Zi Jin, why do you think I'm a woman?"

She was not yet in her prime, and her body was not yet developed. She did not look like a woman at all. So she had been in the palace for a year, but no one doubted her identity. But how did she know?

Despite her confusion, her face was calm.

Zi Jin had made up her mind to explain this matter clearly. She pointed at Ruan Xiaonuan's neck and said, "You should be flat here, if you want me to believe you, then take off this square handkerchief."

It was the first time Ruan Xiaonuan had been forced to such a state, so she simply took off the square towel that was wrapped around her neck. "I am indeed a woman. Could it be that you want to go before His Majesty and sue me for the crime of deceiving the monarch?"

Although Zi Jin had guessed it long ago, when she had genuinely admitted it, she was still shocked to the point that her mouth was wide open. After waiting for a long time, she finally said a complete sentence, "So you really are a woman!"

Maybe because her identity had already been exposed, Ruan Xiaonuan was not as nervous as she was before. She calmly wrapped her arms around her neck and asked in a neutral voice, "What is your purpose?"

Zi Jin did not reply to her. Instead, like a playboy, she used her hand to pick up her chin and said in disbelief, "How come I didn't notice such a delicate and pretty face before? If it wasn't for the fact that you acted a little subconsciously and looked too much like a woman, I wouldn't have suspected anything. I didn't expect you to be right."

She looked at Ruan Xiaonuan's face for a long time, as if she was admiring a peerless treasure, until she was at a loss as to what to do and pushed Zi Jin's hand away. she asked coldly. "If you have something to say, just say it quickly. Don't dawdle here."
