C368 Secret conversation in the palace

It was already the third fragment of the night, and the palace banquet was about to end.

"Father, it's getting late. You should go rest for a while. There's still the Rites of Heavenly Worship tomorrow morning." Duan Yunfei said to Yuwen Di from the side as she reached out her hand to help Yuwen Di walk to His Highness.

Fathers and filial piety, brotherly and brotherly courtesy. Yuwen Di looked at Duan Yunfei, who was beside her, and nodded towards her with a smile. She was really old. Now, after sitting for just a short period of time, she would feel uncomfortable all over. It's time to go down and rest for a while. "

Hearing Yuwen Di's words, Duan Yunfei smiled and nodded at him. However, if royal father isn't old, how can he let us children grow up? "

Right after Duan Yunfei finished speaking, Yuwen Di couldn't help but be a little shocked, and then, couldn't help but laugh out loud. This Little Thirteen of yours is truly extraordinary. If it were anyone else, they would definitely praise royal father and say that his treasured blade is not old. You are quite good, just say that royal father is really old. "

As Yuwen Di spoke, he stretched out his hand and lightly tapped Duan Yunfei's forehead.

Duan Yunfei didn't mind in the slightest. She made a face at Yuwen Di, and said while grinning: "It's just as royal father said, I'm not a bystander, I'm your Little Thirteen, so naturally I'll be different from others."

Just as the two of them were about to leave while laughing, Yuwen Di finally noticed the Seventh Prince, who was still standing in the great hall.

"Your brothers have already left, why haven't you left?" Yuwen Di was a little surprised, he waved her hand at him and said: "You worked hard today, hurry up and rest well. You don't need to stay here with us, just let Little Thirteen send us off."

"Thank you royal father, this son will respectfully send you off here." Seeing that, the Seventh Prince immediately bent down and bowed to Yuwen Di, and then raised his head to glance at Duan Yunfei who was standing at the side.

Duan Yunfei immediately understood and nodded towards the Seventh Prince, then supported Yuwen Di down.

"Father, it's already the third fragment of the night. You should rest for a few hours in the rear palace. Tomorrow morning, you still have to prepare another sacrificial ceremony." Duan Yunfei helped Yuwen Di organize the bed and helped him lie down.

Yuwen Di nodded his head, his two eyelids were drowsy to the point that it was almost unable to open. He closed his eyes slightly, reached out his hand and patted Duan Yunfei's arm, and said to her in a low voice: "It's getting late, you've also worked hard for the whole day, go and rest early."

Duan Yunfei nodded, before she could reply, she was already fast asleep, and started snoring softly.

After settling Yuwen Di down to rest, Duan Yunfei left the room. The Seventh Prince had just signalled to her with his eyes. He definitely had something important to discuss with her.

Just as Duan Yunfei had expected, just as she walked out, she saw the Seventh Prince waiting for her outside the palace hall.

Duan Yunfei jumped in shock and unconsciously looked inside the house. After that, she lowered her voice and said to the Seventh Prince: "Brother, it's already so late, why don't you go back and rest earlier? Why are you standing here in the freezing cold?"

Seventh Prince, however, didn't mind in the slightest. He reached out his hand and placed it next to his mouth, signalling for Duan Yunfei to be quiet before bringing Duan Yunfei to the side hall.

Duan Yunfei had to stay in the palace for the night, so she ordered some people to clean up the side hall early in the morning, and even lit a brazier and incense burner early on. When Duan Yunfei walked in, the room was warm and clear, and a faint fragrance floated in from time to time.

After the two of them entered the house, Duan Yunfei casually picked up the teapot on the table. Inside the teapot was the West Lake Dragon Well, which she had brewed for Duan Yunfei in advance. The time to brew the tea was well grasped, and when Duan Yunfei walked in, the tea was still warm.

"It's cold outside. Brother, let's drink a cup of hot tea to dispel the cold." As Duan Yunfei spoke to the Seventh Prince, she poured him a cup of hot tea and passed it over to him with a smile.

After a busy night, the Seventh Prince could finally sit down and rest for a moment. As he received the tea in Duan Yunfei's hand, he smiled and nodded to her. "Father really likes you the most, these tea leaves are the top-class Longjing that was brought up from the West Lake a few days ago. Even those nobles would not have the chance to see them, I didn't think that you would already have drank them."

As the Seventh Prince spoke, he lightly sipped his tea and couldn't help but praise and nod his head. Smiling at Duan Yunfei, he said: "As expected, good tea of the highest quality. It seems that Seventh Brother will come visit your place often from now on, I wonder how many times I'll have to bask in your glory."

"Brother, you must be joking. If you are willing, you can come here every day." As Duan Yunfei talked with the Seventh Prince, she finished the cup of tea in one gulp.

She raised her head to look at Seventh Prince, and after hesitating for a while she asked him: "Brother, today's trip to The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting, is everything smooth?"

Seventh Prince nodded, the expression on his face slightly relaxed, and told Duan Yunfei everything that had happened in The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting today in detail.

"Although it was thrilling, it was fortunate that the situation at that time was difficult to resolve. The Duke of Zhang Ting had already received the pigeon eggs that I personally sent to him. Even if he felt that something was amiss after the incident, it was definitely related to him. The Duke of Zhang Ting is a smart person, I believe he wouldn't say too much in front of royal father. " The seventh prince placed the cup in his hand on the table, sighed, and then spoke to Duan Yunfei.

Hearing the Seventh Prince's words, Duan Yunfei also heaved a sigh of relief. She nodded her head and said to the Prince, "Since that's the case, brother, there's no need to worry."

"There's no need to worry about that. It's just that the dish has gone missing by accident this time. It seems more like something fishy has happened." Duan Yunfei pondered as she lifted her head to look at the Seventh Prince. This is a critical moment and we must not let this go. "

Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, the Seventh Prince raised his head and nodded towards her. Yun Fei, what you said today is exactly what I was thinking. The accidental disappearance of the dishes must have been caused by someone. It's just that there's too many people here tonight, so it's impossible to find out. "

It was already the fourth fragment of the night and perhaps because they drank too much tea tonight, Duan Yunfei and the seventh prince did not feel the slightest bit tired.

Duan Yunfei sat in the Side of table as she reached out her hand to touch her forehead, and the corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile. "Although there are many people here tonight, there are only a few people in the palace who are involved. Brother, don't worry, leave this to me, I will find out everything."
