Without waiting for Yuwen Di to speak, Duan Yunfei turned and walked out of the hall.
Yuwen Di's face became even more unsightly.
After the morning assembly, Yuwen Di kept himself locked in his study, unable to say a single word.
"Your majesty, the imperial kitchens have made a new bowl of pork chop lotus seed congee. You haven't eaten since early in the morning, hurry and drink some while it's still hot." Eunuch Ming could naturally see that Long Yan was displeased, and quickly brought out Yuwen Di's favorite porridge, purposely smiling as he spoke to Yuwen Di.
Yuwen Di was a little impatient, he waved his hand at Eunuch Ming, signalling him to remove the bowl.
"Your majesty, you're still worrying about the Thirteenth Princess." Eunuch Ming hesitated for a moment, stood at the side, and asked Yuwen Di probingly, "Your Majesty, you have watched this Thirteenth Princess grow up, so you know her temperament the best. She has always acted impulsively without thinking of the consequences. Furthermore, she has always been loyal to her friends. It is not unreasonable for her to do something like this. "
The Eunuch Ming spoke to Yuwen Di, and Yuwen Di also nodded slightly. He sighed and said to Eunuch Ming: "Say, do you think we did something wrong? We summoned the Little Thirteen to the main hall to confront the ministers in the main hall for her innocence. But Little Thirteen must definitely think that we don't trust her, and I don't know where he's hiding to be angry with us. "
Hearing Yuwen Di's words, Eunuch Ming could not help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Yuwen Di turned his head and stared at Eunuch Ming, he then said to him with a stern face: "We are almost finished here, you still have the mood to be smiling."
"Your Imperial Majesty, don't worry." Eunuch Ming bowed towards Yuwen Di, then nodded his head while laughing and said, "Your Majesty, you are not only the ruler of a nation, you are also the father of Thirteenth Princess. If the children of ordinary families make a mistake, they will be taught a lesson by their fathers, not to mention the children in our imperial palace. Therefore, the Emperor doesn't need to worry about it. After two more days, it'll naturally be better. "
Hearing Eunuch Ming's words, Yuwen Di hesitated for a while, thinking of a better way, then nodded his head.
Duan Yunfei was sitting in the Red Luan Courtyard, bored out of her mind. After the envoys from the Xiliang left, Duan Yunfei suddenly felt free and relaxed, as though she had nothing else to do for the moment.
Coming back from the outside, Xiao Yang heard many rumors about Duan Yunfei in the great hall that morning and couldn't help but frown.
The palace city was such a huge place. Regardless of what happened, in just half a day's time, everyone knew about it.
"Princess." Xiao Yang walked in and called out to Duan Yunfei, probably wanting to say something to him. In the end, she didn't speak either.
Duan Yunfei, however, did not mind at all. She turned her head to look at her, and smiled faintly: "It can't be that you want to ask me what happened in the hall today, right?"
After hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Xiao Yang hurriedly waved her hand, put down the things in her hands, and ran over to Duan Yunfei and said: "Princess, you've misunderstood me. No matter what happened in the hall today, and no matter what others said, this servant knows what kind of character you have, and I know that everything you've done was for the sake of the Jin Country."
Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Duan Yunfei couldn't help but want to laugh. She reached out her hand and gently poked Xiao Yang's forehead, nodding at her.
"Xiao Yang, actually, there are times when I don't know if this matter is right or wrong, but I always feel that following one's heart is the best." Duan Yunfei looked into the sky and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She didn't know where Xiu Yu had gone to, or whether he was about to reach Xiliang.
As Duan Yunfei was talking with Xiao Yang, a person suddenly walked in from outside.
Duan Yunfei looked over to the source of the voice and saw that it was actually Sir Xiu Huang.
"Xiu Huang greets Thirteenth Princess." Xiu Huang walked forward and bowed to Duan Yunfei, the corners of his mouth slightly raised upwards. If one ignored his frown, he could be considered to have a jade-like face and a smile like the spring breeze.
"What happened today, even Sir Xiu Huang came to my Red Luan Courtyard." Duan Yunfei teased while bowing towards Xiu Huang, then beckoned him to sit down.
Duan Yunfei ordered Xiao Yang to prepare some tea for his. As he poured some tea for her, she said to Xiu Huang with a smile, "Sir Xiu Huang, why are you free today?
He raised his head to look at Xiu Huang, and suddenly remembered the Xiu Huang she had met at the Pleasing Inn that day.
From Duan Yunfei's point of view, sshe had always felt that Xiu Huang was weak and incompetent, that he had no strife with the world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost to Xiu Heng and become the proton that was imprisoned in the Jin Country. But it was only then that Duan Yunfei realized Xiu Huang was not that kind of person. He was wise, loyal, and resourceful, and had the courage to give up everything he had for the people.
She had always felt guilty in her heart, feeling that she had misunderstood him for so long.
Xiu Huang sat opposite to Duan Yunfei, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After hesitating for a while, he said to Duan Yunfei: "Thirteenth Princess, I heard about what happened in the main hall today, so I specially came to look for you."
Hearing Xiu Huang's words, Duan Yunfei could not help but let out a bitter laugh. Even Sir Xiu Huang knew of this matter, so it seems like the matter that happened in the main hall this morning had already spread throughout the entire palace city. "
Xiu Huang didn't mind as he suddenly stood up and respectfully bowed to Duan Yunfei.
"Sir Xiu Huang, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Xiu Huang's actions gave Duan Yunfei a fright. Duan Yunfei hurriedly helped Xiu Huang up, and told him continuously.
Xiu Huang shook his hand, and insisted on bowing and greeting Duan Yunfei: "Many thanks Thirteenth Princess, you have saved my Western Liang Ambassador from danger multiple times, this is the only way to guarantee their safe exit from the Jin Country, Xiu Huang has no way to repay this debt, I can only thank you here."
Xiu Huang's words were sincere, Duan Yunfei finally understood what he meant, and immediately pulled him up, smiling as she waved at him, "Sir Xiu Huang is being too courteous. It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning at all. "
"Thirteenth Princess thinks that this is as simple as lifting a finger, but to my Western Liang Ambassador, it is the act of saving a life. This kindness, Xiu Huang will firmly remember it in his heart." Xiu Huang sat opposite to Duan Yunfei, and said while nodding her head.
Duan Yunfei hesitated, she seemed to have something to say. In the end, she still smiled and nodded towards Xiu Huang.
