C124 Anomaly

After sending off her Zuo Yuan, Duan Yunfei thought that it was better to choose a day than to run into a day. He might as well ask Yuwen Di if he could still leave the palace for this year's female festival.

Coincidentally, on the way to the imperial study, Duan Yunfei met her arch-enemy in the palace — Duan Liusu.

Duan Liusu had been avoiding him for the past few days, not because she didn't dare to face Duan Yunfei, nor was it because of her orders.

It was just because when the Queen and Yuwen Di mentioned that Duan Yingluo and Duan Liusu had not left the pavilion yet, Yuwen Di and the Imperial Consort Yun mentioned about this matter. The Imperial Consort Yun had also been worried about Duan Liusu's future marriage. Although Duan Liusu was her biological daughter, no matter how talented she was or how she looked, Duan Liusu could not be compared to her.

Yuwen Di had also mentioned that after the marriage between Duan Yunfei and Imperial Consort Yun was decided, the Empress and Imperial Consort Yun could begin to arrange the marriage between Duan Yingluo and Duan Liusu. Duan Liusu had already passed the age of fifty two years ago, so logically speaking, this year should be the year where they begin to discuss marriage.

Duan Liusu was different from Duan Yunfei, the Yun Family could not even defeat Wei Yuan Residence. Duan Liusu was not as spoiled as Duan Yunfei, she could only rely on Imperial Consort Yun. But this time, Duan Liusu had caught up to the empress to arrange the marriage for Duan Yingluo, so it could be said that Duan Liusu had no chance of winning at all in this discussion.

If Duan Yunfei's betrothal this time round did not work, then Duan Liusu's betrothal would continue to drag on, and this would be even more disadvantageous to Duan Liusu. Imperial Consort Yun would definitely not sit by and watch such a thing happen, so she specially instructed Duan Liusu not to start a fight with him during this period.

Duan Liusu still did not know the Empress and Duan Yingluo's plans, and the Imperial Consort Yun did not inform Duan Liusu of this matter. However, even if Duan Liusu did not know the stakes involved, she knew that the Imperial Consort Yun would not harm her.

In these past few days, Duan Yunfei practically spent every single day in the imperial flower garden, meeting with the children of the nobles.

It wasn't easy for him to make it in time for Duan Yunfei's day at Red Luan Palace, and only then did Duan Liusu find a chance to take a breath of relief outside.

When Duan Liusu saw Duan Yunfei, she could not hold back anymore. Fortunately, Xiao Xi had held him back in time, otherwise, there would be a war of words today. Although the result was obvious, Duan Yunfei would definitely win by a notch.

Duan Liusu, who was pulled back by Xiao Xi, once again remembered what the Imperial Consort Yun had told him so she could only go around Duan Yunfei.

Just as Duan Yunfei was about to accept Duan Liusu's "challenge", she saw Duan Liusu looking at him from afar, and then walking around him, pretending as if she did not see him, which was extremely strange.

Let alone Duan Yunfei, even Xiao Yang was shocked. After all these years, as long as Duan Yunfei and Duan Yunfei get together, Duan Liusu would definitely provoke trouble no matter what, but why did she avoid it today?

"Princess, this Princess Eleven seems to be a little strange today." Xiao Yang muttered to Duan Yunfei in a low voice. In the palace, other than the Red Luan Palace s, no matter where she was, Xiao Yang would guard against any noise coming from the walls.

Although Xiao Yang was the most pampered palace maid in front of Duan Yunfei, it was extremely disrespectful to criticize the princess with her status. If Duan Liusu or the Imperial Consort Yun were to pursue the matter, even Duan Yunfei might not be able to protect Xiao Yang. Therefore, Xiao Yang always remembered the words "be careful" at all times.

Duan Yunfei also felt that Duan Liusu's reaction today was extremely interesting, I think that the sun is rising from the west today, and Duan Liusu actually has a day where she is not going to go against me?

But thinking back, even though Duan Yunfei and Duan Liusu had been "enemies" for so many years, Duan Yunfei had never understood why short-circuited Su Ming only treated him as an enemy. It seemed that Duan Liusu had never loved being together with Duan Yunfei ever since she could remember.

Duan Yunfei remembered that when the Imperial Consort Duanshuo was still alive, the Imperial Consort Yun had often come to accompany him. At that time, the still young Duan Yunfei still could not understand how these two people, who should have been rivals in love, could be treated with such sisterhood.

The people of Imperial Consort Duanshuo were always gentle towards the palace, even the concubines of the harem were no exception. They had never fought for a concubine's favor, and no one was jealous of the concubine who had been favored by Yuwen Di recently.

Whether it was on the surface or in the shadows, the Imperial Consort Yun had always been a hindrance to the Empress or some of her favorite concubines, but she had always been respectful and respectful to the Imperial Consort Duanshuo.

After that, he once heard the old wet nurse who served the Imperial Consort Duanshuo speak of it. It turned out that before Yuwen Di had ascended to the throne, there were only Imperial Consort Duanshuo, Empress and Imperial Consort Yun in the Duke Palace at that time.

Back then, when the Imperial Consort Yun was pregnant, the Empress was jealous and worried that the Imperial Consort Yun would give birth to a son who was in danger of becoming the Fifth Prince. It was only because Imperial Consort Duanshuo knew about this and had secretly told him, that Imperial Consort Yun was able to protect the child in his womb.

Even though Imperial Consort Yun wanted to fight for the favor, she was still a person who knew how to repay favors. Because of what happened back then, Imperial Consort Yun had always remembered the Imperial Consort Duanshuo's kindness.

But if it wasn't because of Imperial Consort Yun's instructions, why would the young Duan Liusu have such a deep hatred towards Duan Yunfei?

Duan Yunfei naturally couldn't figure out the source of Duan Liusu's obsession, but if Duan Liusu insisted on going against sher, Duan Yunfei disdained to start a war, but he was also fearless. Since Duan Liusu wanted to fight, then let's fight.

"Who knows what she's playing at today?" Duan Yunfei looked at Duan Liusu's departing figure. She looked as if she was muttering to herself, but she was actually replying to what Xiao Yang had just said.

Duan Liusu walked for a while and reached behind the fake mountain in the imperial garden. She looked around and realized that Duan Yunfei had already left.

Duan Liusu fiercely stomped her feet twice, as though she was treating the ground as Duan Yunfei, and said, "This is so infuriating." Duan Liusu said unwillingly, but this did not let her calm down. She saw a loose cobblestone on the road and kicked it hard, as if this would make her feel more at ease.

"Duan Yunfei, you can consider yourself lucky today. Next time, I will definitely teach you a lesson."

"Princess, please lower your voice."

The current Duan Liusu could only boast, who didn't know that every time Duan Liusu fought with Duan Yunfei, she would end up losing miserably.

But because of Duan Liusu's identity as a princess, she did not dare gossip.
