Nangong Waner and the Hundred Aroma Pavilion knew about it, so there was naturally Qin Ruxue as well. As the eldest miss of the Prime Minister's Estate, as well as the empress dowager's favorite niece, the person who had always wanted to marry into the Prince Zhan's Mansion, even if there were any changes to the situation in the Prince Zhan's Mansion, it would naturally not be hidden from her.
"Miss, is this true? Could it be that the servants' gossip was spread out by mistake? " In Qin Ruxue's room, Peach Blossom was carefully comforting Qin Ruxue.
Peach Blossom had always been with Qin Ruxue for many years, always being his trusted aide. Qin Ruxue made her feel at ease the most.
The lady was a proud daughter of the heavens, and had a resplendent demeanor. She had never made any mistakes in her life, and she would never be as flustered or disinterested as she was today.
Early in the morning, Qin Ruxue did not know what had happened, but he sat at the table in a daze with a bad complexion. Peach Blossom asked her with concern, "Miss, what's wrong? Is it because I'm not feeling well? Do you want me to get you a doctor? "
"Nangong Waner actually stayed in the Duke Palace for two days, and still slept in Prince Zhang's room. The two of them slept on the same bed for two days!" Qin Ruxue muttered, a little distracted.
"The entire Duke Palaces are immersed in the joy of marrying an imperial concubine, saying that the imperial concubine is Nangong Waner … Nangong Waner... "
"Miss, is this true? Could it be that the servants' gossip was spread out by mistake? " Peach Red saw that Qin Ruxue's expression did not look good and immediately poured her a cup of water.
Qin Ruxue did not receive the water, his eyes still somewhat empty as he muttered, "I've stared at Prince Zhan's Mansion for many years and have not been able to find any flaws, and have finally bought a few chefs that my aunt gave to Prince Zhan. The letter that the chefs sent me definitely does not have any reason to fake it."
According to the legends of the imperial chefs, Prince Chen had gone to great lengths to prepare twenty to thirty dishes for Nangong Wan'er. On the first day at the palace, he had the kitchen prepare twenty to thirty dishes for each meal.
"You need to eat twenty to thirty dishes for a single meal?" "Isn't that more exquisite than the Empress Dowager?" Peach Blossom was a little shocked. She couldn't help but say those words with a somewhat high voice.
On the other hand, Qin Ruxue regained a lot of consciousness from the shout, suddenly realizing that she had lost control of herself, she quickly tidied up her clothes as though she was unaware, then forced herself to dress up calmly in front of the dressing table.
"Let's go, Peach Blossom. Today, we're going to the palace to visit aunt. It's been a while since we've seen each other, I really do miss aunt a bit." When Qin Ruxue spoke again, she had already returned to her usual posture, and left the room with a fiery temperament.
Tao Hong saw that her young miss was calm and happy, and quickly quickened her pace to keep up with Qin Ruxue.
Inside the horse carriage, Qin Ruxue had been seriously thinking about what had happened in the palace thirteen years ago. First, it was Consort De and the First Prince that had gotten into a series of mishaps, then it had caused Concubine Chen and the Prince Zhang to lose consciousness.
When Prince Zhan woke up, her temperament changed drastically and she was no longer protected by all means. He was no longer willing to be her Big Brother Han, and she was even less able to be his little sister Xue.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Ruxue still could not think of any good thoughts, "Could it be … With the death of her two concubines, she would be able to sit on the throne of the empress dowager forever, and the Emperor would also be able to stay in the stable position forever. Without Concubine Chen, the Prince Zhang would be able to support the Prince Zhang by her side, and the aunt would be able to feel at ease with the Prince Zhan, and the Prince Zhan would be loyal to her as well? "
"So Prince Zhang probably already knew what Aunt had done to me. From then on, she was no longer willing to be good to me, just because I'm Aunt's most beloved Xue'er?"
With regards to the empress dowager, Qin Ruxue still had some true feelings for her. Naturally, she wasn't willing to blame all of this on the empress dowager, but it seemed like … This was the only reason why he could explain it.
"Big Brother Han, I won't let other women take you away from me. Absolutely not, you can only belong to me … It can only belong to me … " Qin Ruxue secretly made a decision in the depths of his heart. He twisted the handkerchief in his hands fiercely, as if he used a lot of strength.
"Peach Blossom, come in." Qin Ruxue called out to the Peach Blossom outside the carriage.
Hearing Qin Ruxue's instructions, Peach Blossom immediately pulled up the curtain of the carriage and went in.
"You …" Qin Ruxue indicated for Peach Blossom to lean over, and Qin Ruxue very carefully whispered something into her ear.
At first, Peach Red was a little hesitant and shocked, thinking if she should try to persuade her young miss, but seeing her resolute look, Peach Red could only silently remember the things that Qin Ruxue had told her.
"Nangong Waner..." Qin Ruxue's face was grave, but his fists were tightly clenched inside his sleeves, with his veins popping out.
It was also during the evening of this day that someone from the palace came to the Assistant Minister’s Residence to pass a message, saying that the empress dowager had just happened to see La Mei open in the palace's imperial garden. She called a few happy young generations to enter the palace to accompany her and reward her La Mei, letting her follow the young ones and liven things up.
Lord Assistant Minister was dumbstruck when she heard this. Since when did their received so much love from the empress dowager, to the point of even calling for him to accompany her when she was giving him flowers? "Aru, how do you think the empress dowager fell in love with our Wan Er?"
However, Madam Yang was not as simple as Lord Assistant Minister thought. The empress dowager had never shown a fondness for Wan Er, which time Wan Er had not sought victory in the midst of danger?
Qin Ruxue was the empress dowager's most beloved niece and daughter, and Prince Zhan was Qin Ruxue's most beloved person. Wan Er also liked the empress dowager, and based on Madam Yang's observations, the Prince Zhan should be interested in Wan Er as well. It was rumored that the empress dowager would naturally side with Qin Ruxue. It was said that it was a pity that the empress dowager would not have a daughter, and treat Qin Ruxue like her own daughter, doting on him even more than her own son, the Emperor. Even if Prince Zhan was truly doted on by the empress dowager, as the rumors said, as the son of Concubine Chen, the empress dowager would still side more towards Qin Ruxue.
After thinking about it for a while, Madam Yang felt that the matter of the empress dowager calling Nangong Waner to enter the palace was definitely not as simple as it seemed to be.
It was unknown what he was thinking, but the Lord Assistant Minister puzzledly followed over to look at Madam Yang in a daze. He saw that Madam Yang's brows were locked in a deep thought, as if he was trying to think of something, and completely ignored him. The Lord Assistant Minister was just about to pat Madam Yang, "Love …"
But who would have thought that after Madam Yang saw that the empress dowager's intentions were bad, he anxiously went to find Nangong Waner. He never saw Lord Assistant Minister standing beside her with his hands raised, wanting to call for her.
Madam Yang anxiously turned and walked back to his courtyard.
"Huh?" Lord Assistant Minister stretched out her hand but it missed, "Why is there so much chatter all the time? I think Wan Er will just follow you."
