Chapter 36 - Aunt Qingshui

Ye Yi returned to oriental palace in a good mood.

At the banquet at Prince Mansion, Ye Han was busy sending people to search for high quality silk that could be used to make graft s. The silk shop in the capital did not have this kind of high quality silk thread.

"Your Highness, Gongzi Gu is here." Attendant hurriedly ran in to report.

Gu Qingmeng walked in with his hands behind his back. With a smile on his face, he walked in front of Ye Han and knocked the table, "I'm guessing that you are currently annoyed by the happy occasion."

Ye Han cast a glance at him, only to see him smiling proudly: "Beg me! I have good Jade Silk, red candles, and a phoenix coronet and gown."

"Scram. If you are sincere, send it over. If you are deliberately scolding …" Ye Han raised his hand and struck towards him. Gu Qingmeng easily received his attack and shrugged his shoulders: "Uninteresting."

Patting his hands, Attendant carried a few boxes in. Gu Qingmeng indicated for the subordinate to open the chest, he opened his fan and said gently: Look, if there are any gaps, send someone to get them.

Ye Han nodded and asked the butler to bring the silver.

Gu Qingmeng stopped the butler, and said with a smile on his face: "Consider this all my gift, I wish you all the best in life, a hundred sons and five thousand grandchildren."

The butler looked at the boxes on the ground and thought that this Gongzi Gu was really generous, he was truly worthy of being a wealthy merchant.

Gu Qingmeng finished his gift and left.

When Yun Qin heard that Gu Qingmeng had come over and even brought over a few boxes of items for marriage, she looked at the phoenix coronet that was brought in by the servant girl.

"Why didn't you leave anyone for dinner?" Yun Qin reprimanded her. Although she was a little apprehensive thinking about how Gu Qingmeng was able to grasp the hearts of others, Gu Qingmeng was extremely nice to Ye Han.

"He said that he had something to attend to so he dropped by." Ye Han explained. As smart as he was, how could he not know that Gu Qingmeng had specially come to give them these things? However, since he had no intention to stay, he did not want to force him either. After all, his Princess had been so close to him before.

Yun Qin nodded, she remembered something, and got up to take it out from under her pillow: "An invitation from Queen, tell me what day the next day is, and specially invite us to participate."

Ye Han had never been in the mood to attend banquets like these.

Soon, it was the day of the banquet.

Yun Qin wore a robe that was as thin as a goose, a crescent phoenix tail skirt that covered her lower body, half tied her hair, and a tassel on her forehead. She wore a hairpin with two bun, and when she walked forward, the tassels would collide with each other to produce a clear and melodious sound.

Seeing that, Yu Er could not help but praise: "Princess is even better looking today than before."

"Only your mouth is sweet." Yun Qin laughed, she raised her hand and supported the hairpin on her head.

Once they arrived at the Imperial Palace, Ye Han brought her off the carriage.

Yun Qin hadn't been to the Imperial Palace for a while. It was the rising sun at this time, and the sunlight was shining brightly on the tiles.

When Ye Han and Yun Qin walked to the Phoenix Perching Gallery, a young eunuch hurriedly ran over, "Third Marquis, the Emperor requests your presence."

Ye Han stood at his original position and shot a worried glance at Yun Qin. He was normally in a daze, could he let her go to Phoenix Luan Palace alone?

Yun Qin could see that he was worried, so she patted his chest and said confidently: "Go. I know my way back to when I was staying at the palace for a long time."

What a joke, even if she were to wander around the Imperial Palace alone, she would still be able to find the Queen's palace.

Seeing her expression full of certainty, Ye Han nodded his head doubtfully: "Then you go first, I'll come over shortly."

Yun Qin answered as she searched in the direction in her memories. If she remembered correctly, the Phoenix Luan Palace was heading west. She had first crossed the small wooden bridge, turned left, and passed by a flower porch.

Yun Qin walked along the long corridor and saw a small wooden bridge, walking leisurely up it.

After walking across the wooden bridge, Yun Qin was startled. After that, where should they go? This place seemed to be different from what she remembered.

Yun Qin thought for a while to find someone to ask. She had walked quite a distance, but she had not seen a single servant.

Walking and walking, they finally arrived in front of a palace. On top of the palace were the words' Liuhe Palace '.

The palace was filled with lush vegetation, and the Begonia flower was in bloom. However, there was a faint hint of loneliness in the air, as if there was no one living inside.

"Is anyone there?" Yun Qin shouted, and walked towards the main hall.

She pushed the door open and entered, only to see that the hall was even colder and even a little eerie. However, the things here were completely spotless.

Yun Qin looked left and right and heard some activity coming from the room. She curiously walked over, only to see a person dressed as an aunt wiping something.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Yun Qin immediately blocked her in front of her: "Aunt, I got lost in the palace, may I ask where is Phoenix Luan Palace?"

The man shook his head and was about to leave when Yun Qin let out a cry. A palace maid's identity plate fell off her body, she picked it up to take a look, and unwittingly recited: "Qingshui, Aunt Qingshui?"

Yun Qin was startled, she did not think that she would have such an intense reaction, so she obediently gave it to her.

She pointed outside with her head still lowered, making it difficult to see her appearance clearly. "Go directly to the south, and walk two hundred steps."

Seeing her lower her head as if she did not hear anything, Yun Qin did not ask anymore, and turned to walk out.

She moved two steps towards the table, picked up the vase on the table, aimed at Yun Qin's head, and was about to knock.

"We should wait a bit longer for Ye Han." The woman's words fell into her ears. She knew the Third Marquis, but his tone seemed to be very important. Could it be that … She is the Rosa's blood relative?

Hearing this, the hand that was raised up in the air immediately stopped. She stared, panting. She almost made a big mistake!

Qing Shui turned around, his eyes revealing an intense struggle.

She was the Third Marquis' beloved woman … It was a pity that you, Empress, could not see the Third Marquis get married and have children!
