Chapter 62: Leaving the Palace
Nanmen Yu had been waiting outside the courtyard gate for an hour, and if he hadn’t already experienced how complicated and delicate Zheng Nianru’s waking routines were, Nanmen Yu would definitely think that Zheng Nianru simply looked down on him.
Nanmen Yu looked up to see a robe of elaborate floral silk brocade, with layered collars and gathered sleeves, a slender waist that flared down to the ankles, and a pair of thick-soled embroidered shoes. Nanmen Yu instantly felt that the half hour waiting had been worthwhile.
"What are you doing up so early?" Zheng Nianru was still somewhat reluctant. She had not slept all night and felt that a few days’ rest couldn’t make up for it; she had just overslept for two nights.
"I have taken care of the matters you assigned me and thought whether you might want to take a look," Nanmen Yu said, dressed in a light gray Forged Robe. Though it was made of ordinary brocade fabric, his slender figure merged seamlessly with the fabric, exuding an aura of clarity.
Zheng Nianru noticed and raised an eyebrow.
"Have you grown taller?" She hadn’t seen him for a while, and he seemed much taller than she remembered.
Nanmen Yu shifted his gaze away awkwardly, genuinely pleased inside. She had noticed him and even observed that he had grown taller.
"It’s just that time of life, naturally I grew like a weed," Nanmen Yu commented, "I bought two shops and settled those two families. If you are worried, I can take you to see them."
Zheng Nianru blinked, giving Nanmen Yu a look.
He likely didn’t know that she couldn’t leave this courtyard. The security at the Crown Prince’s Mansion was very strict nowadays, and she couldn’t go out.
Wait, Zheng Nianru suddenly thought, how did Nanmen Yu get in?
