C112

An hour later, a luxurious carriage departed from the Prime Minister's manor, heading straight for the prince's mansion.

Inside the carriage, Lian Yueyue was wearing a blue chiffon tit for tit for tat. Her hair was tied up in a quilted bun near to the clouds, with silver phoenix hairpin stuck in the bun and pearl earrings in her ears. She looked quiet and dignified; being well-behaved was very pleasing to behold.

It was indeed very different from before.

Lian Rou looked at her attentively. In her mind, she thought about what Lian Yan Qing had said: Yue'er might be plotting in secret, which was why she stirred up the Prime Minister's mansion.

Is that possible?

Lian Rou's gaze towards Lian Lu Yue became deeper and deeper.

Lian Ruyue knew that ever since she got on the carriage, her grandmother was looking at her with an inquiring look. It was probably because that day after she left the lotus flower courtyard, Yan Qing said something to her that aroused her suspicions.

After all, Lian Yanqing was the prime minister of the imperial court, and Lian Xiyue had never thought that this father was easy to deal with.

As she thought of this, she raised her head and gave her mother a bright smile. Her eyes were like those of a newborn baby, clear and clear, without desire, without impurities, exuding a kind of beauty that returned to its original nature.

She called out softly, "Grandmother."

Even her mother was startled. Her eyes flickered for a moment before retracting her gaze. Facing this gaze, she unexpectedly felt a trace of panic. She then replied, "Yue Er."

Grandmother, when I was in Yao City, I saw with my own eyes that the Su Clan members had applied a kind of glue, and the thick scars on their faces would disappear in a few days. I think that although the princess has all kinds of rare and exotic objects, this kind of Scar Gum might not exist, because the journey to Yao City is very long, and it would take at least half a month to get there on a fast horse. I was afraid that it would be too late, so I made a box myself these days.

Of course the princess wouldn't have it. After all, Dong Ling had specially made it for her eight years later.

Madam Rong had always been kind and kind, so much so that she couldn't be considered a person with a lot of ideas. Unlike Ya'er, who had many ideas behind her, Yue Er, a child who hadn't even reached the age of fourteen, had no one to help her from behind. How could she have so many thoughts?

She took the box and revealed a kind smile. "I heard from the servants that you have been doing something these days without rest. So it's for this box of ointment. Yue Er, it's really hard on you."

"I think that if the injury on the princess' face is not good, and my grandmother and father are unable to sleep soundly, I am the direct descendant of the family, so I have to do something. Even if this box of Shu Hen Gum won't have much effect in the end, it's still good for the princess to know our repentance." Lian Ruyue's frank appearance made it impossible for others to see any of her unnecessary thoughts.

To be fair, the trouble was caused by Shi Ya. She cried and howled, and after being scolded a few times, everything was fine. Now that she had helped with the aftermath, it was as if the moon had fallen.

Very quickly, they arrived at the princess' mansion.

After her mother got off the palanquin and asked the guards to pass it on to her, she and Lian Ruyue knelt at the entrance, waiting for the princess to receive them.

He had originally thought that they would wait for a long time. However, he didn't expect that the guard would return so soon. Moreover, the princess' personal maid, Jia Xiang, would come to invite them in.

Passing through several circular carved arches, then passing through several long corridors, he saw a group of beautiful maids striding through. A solemn and luxurious scene. As they walked along the gold-bricked road, each step they took brought with it a sense of caution.

Lotus Fragrance led them to a side chamber, bowing as she spoke. "Old madam, Eldest Miss, the princess is currently talking to the ninth prince. Please wait here, the princess will pass on the message later."

Even Ru Yue's heart shuddered. So it turned out that Feng Yunzheng was also present today.

After Lotus Fragrance left, she left behind two female attendants to wait on the left and right of her. She poured tea and served snacks, as per the rules.

Even her mother was a bit nervous. Her hand that was holding the teacup was also trembling. She could sense that she was worried about the entire Prime Minister's Palace, which was why she was so worried.

So, she said softly,

"Grandmother, don't be too nervous. Since the princess let us in so quickly and even sent someone to serve her, it means that she is magnanimous and doesn't take this matter to heart."

Lian Meng Yue's words made his mother feel slightly more relaxed.

After about an hour, Lotus Incense returned to the side chamber and said, "Old madam, eldest miss, the princess will be inviting the two of you over."

"Yes, please lead the way, aunt." Lian Ruyue respectfully said as she bowed towards Lotus Incense.

He Xiang couldn't help but look at Lian Xiyue as she spoke, and the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile. She thought, as expected of the direct descendant, this young miss is really different from the third young miss that tried to please her with all her effort that day.

"Please come with me." Lotus Fragrance led the way, leading Lian Rou and Lian Ru Yue to a hall. Lian Ru Yue raised her head and saw that three words were written on it — "Snow Fragrance Pavilion".

While they were still at the door, Lian Meng Yue heard a man's voice from inside. She was stunned: "So Feng Yunzheng hadn't left yet."

"The princess is inviting the two of you in." From the inside, a mama greeted them, then led them into the Snow Fragrance Pavilion and knelt in front of the palace.

The princess of An Kingdom was clad in a magnificent dark-gold, red-sleeved, and wide-sleeved top. Her body exuded a luxurious aura of royalty, exuding an imposing manner even though she was not angry.

The grandfather and grandson duo said in unison:

"Greetings, princess. Your highness is thousands of years old."

"Get up." When they heard a lazy and dignified voice, the two of them raised their heads and their mother subconsciously quickly glanced at An Guo's face. Their hearts thumped, the scars on her face had not completely disappeared, and there were even visible traces of it.

Lian Ruyue was always standing with her head down, appearing even calmer than her mother. Princess An Guo's eyes couldn't help but stay on her body for a moment.

She had seen many young mistresses of a similar background and age, but she had never seen someone as calm and steady as Lian Ruyue. From that day's feast until today, there was not a single trace of impetuosity on her body.

"Sit down." An Guo retracted her gaze and said, then several servants brought two chairs over for Lian Rou and Lian Meng Yue to sit on.

Feng Yunzheng did not look at her, but rather looked at the book in her hands. She could faintly see that there was a person's name and even a portrait on the book. It seemed that before she came, Princess An Guo was discussing something with him.

The place he was sitting on was a screen carved with flowers. Coincidentally, sunlight was shining in, bathing his slightly cold figure in the light and immediately causing him to feel absent-minded.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his fingers lightly and rhythmically rapped against the paper roll.

He currently had no official business and was a person of leisure. He had heard that other than doing some music, calligraphy, and painting in the mansion, he did not seem to have any great ambitions.

If it was before, Liuyue would have believed others' words, but after the feast that day, she knew that he wasn't like what she saw. He was plotting something big, and that made her look forward to it a lot.

"Princess, this old one has truly committed a heinous crime. After the banquet that day, I felt deeply uneasy. The reason why I've come here today is to seek another apology from the Princess." As soon as his mother sat down, she kneeled down beside the chair with a regretful and uneasy expression on her face. Such a virtuous and respectable person repeatedly asking for forgiveness seemed to be sad.

Seeing this, even Ru Yue also followed suit and knelt down, saying:

"Please punish me, Princess."

At this time, as if disturbed, Feng Yunzheng shifted his gaze away from the paper and looked at the person kneeling in front of him.

The Princess of An Country laughed, "It seems that in the eyes of Old Madam Lian, I am indeed a man-eating demon."

Her mother's hands tightened as a layer of sweat emerged on her back. Princess An Guo's words, what did it mean? She lowered her head even more and said, "Princess, this old woman doesn't dare."

"Miss Lian, what do you think? Am I a man-eating demon? " The princess of An Kingdom asked Lian Ruyue as she cast her gaze.

She said, "Princess always rewards and punishments are clear, Third Sister committed a grave mistake at the chrysanthemum feast, but Princess gave Third Sister a wide berth. Princess's kindness is already a blessing from the Lian Family. Grandmother sleeps and eats restlessly because she feels guilty for the princess and is afraid that the princess will feel unhappy because of her third sister. "

Lian Ruyue's answer to Princess An Guo's question contained a trace of the innocence and sincerity of a child.

Feng Yunzheng put down his paper and smiled, "Aunt, don't make things difficult for the madame and this child anymore."

Princess An glanced at Feng Yunzheng and said, "You have always ignored the chores, but today you spoke up for this child. Forget it, I won't joke with them now that you're serious about looking at the candidate I've chosen for your consort. "Madame, please get up. The matter of the parrot is over."

When Lian Ruyue heard this, she was slightly startled. She raised her head to look at the paper by Feng Yunzheng's hand. So it turned out that the princess of An Guo was picking out the consort for him.

On the one hand, he had already been abandoned by the Emperor and was not allowed to enter the palace, thus his future prospects were hopeless. On the other hand, he was an old friend of the crippled crown prince, and the Emperor had not abolished his position.

So, there were people who wanted to guard against him and try to rope him in to prevent him from rising up again. Right now, Princess An Guang wanted to use marriage to control him, and this marriage was at the emperor's behest. He didn't want this son anymore, but he definitely wouldn't allow this son of his to betray him one day!

Furthermore, letting him marry a wife and give birth to a child was the best way to control him. In order to confuse the emperor and princess, it wasn't bad for Feng Yunzheng to agree to this marriage.

Sensing her attentive gaze, Feng Yunzheng's hand moved towards the paper, blocking the drawing and the name of the person. It was as if he didn't want her to see it.

"Since you're here, why don't you take a look and see what the wangfei I've chosen for Yun Zheng is like." Princess An Guo said to Lian Xiyue.

"..." "Yes." Lian Ruyue stood up and walked in front of Feng Yunzheng. Bowing slightly, she stretched out her hands and obediently said, "Ninth Prince, please borrow the princess consort for a look."

Her ten fingers were as delicate as cream, translucent and fair, and very beautiful.

Feng Yunzheng looked at her fingers as he tightened his grip on the paper. In the end, he grabbed the paper and delivered it to her palms.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lian Ru Yue slightly nodded her head as she opened up the paper. There were three words written on it —

Liu Yanyu.
