In the Red Luan Courtyard.

Duan Yunfei was at the side studying the Military Strategy. She was wearing her usual long robe and her hair was tied up in a high bun. She really was a man who would never give in to a man's mannerism.

Xiao Yang walked in from the outside and jumped in front of Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei pretended to be angry, she extended her hand and knocked on Xiao Yang's forehead, and reprimanded her: "Girl, you are really getting worse, you actually dared to scare me, see if I will beat you up or not."

Hearing Duan Yunfei's threatening words, Xiao Yang hurriedly covered her own forehead and begged Duan Yunfei for mercy: "Princess, I was wrong, I won't dare anymore, I beg you to forgive me this time."

Seeing that Xiao Yang was sincere in his repentance, Duan Yunfei put down his hands, sat down at the side and poured himself a cup of tea.

Xiao Yang let out a long sigh of relief and then continued to speak to Duan Yunfei: "Princess, General Wu Shan's reply has arrived.

Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Duan Yunfei immediately forgot about what happened just now and anxiously said to Xiao Yang: "Where's the letter, quickly take it out and let me see."

Seeing Duan Yunfei's childish temperament, Xiao Yang couldn't help but chuckle, and then took out Wu Shan's reply from her sleeve, respectfully handing it over to Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei couldn't wait to open the letter, and read it carefully.

Wu Shan said in the letter that the Southwest Bureau was basically stable, the soldiers were guarding the territory of the motherland, and the threat had been removed. The official salt in Jiangnan had already been transported to the southwest. The commoners all received the salt distributed by the officials, which made them live happily and peacefully.

Seeing the contents of Wu Shan's letter, the corners of Duan Yunfei's lips couldn't help but rise as he revealed a gratified smile.

This servant heard that General Wu Shan had personally done everything in the Southwest, even taking the lead in battles. When he had the time, he even organized some soldiers to help the local officials distribute official salt. Duan Yunfei tightly held onto the letter written by Wu Shan herself, while she unceasingly recounted the things she had heard to Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei hesitated for a while, then raised her head and looked at Xiao Yang, excitedly asking: "Xiao Yang, when will Wu Shan return to the capital?"

Xiao Yang froze for a moment, then remembered what Mu Chuyang had said a few days ago when he came to Red Luan Courtyard to chat. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then continued to speak with Duan Yunfei: "Princess, that day when Young Prince Mu came to the residence as a guest, didn't he say that the emperor had already given his permission, and after the negotiation was over, he would personally order General Wu Shan to return to the capital? So, the princess need not be anxious, he thought that it would not be long before General Wu Shan would take the lead and return to the imperial court. "

"Alright!" Duan Yunfei smiled and nodded.

She seemed to have something she wanted to say to Xiao Yang, but before Duan Yunfei could speak, a voice came from outside the door:

Imperial Consort Yu arrived!

Hearing the voice of the palace maid, Duan Yunfei hurriedly walked out of the room and greeted the Imperial Consort Yu who was about to enter.

The moment Duan Yunfei saw the Imperial Consort Yu, she immediately grabbed onto her arm like a child playing around. She no longer had the look as if she was planning to act just now. She raised her head and glanced at Imperial Consort Yu, then blinked her eyes and asked: "Why did Imperial Concubine suddenly remember to be my guest?"

As he spoke, he quickly ordered Xiao Yang to prepare some good tea and snacks at the same time, as if he wanted to sit down.

Although the Imperial Consort Yu was close to Duan Yunfei, ever since Duan Yunfei had become an adult, she set up a new house for her, allowing her to stay there by herself. Furthermore, with Duan Yunfei's skipping personality, Imperial Consort Yu always felt that she could not restrict a child's nature too much and did not continue to discipline him, always allowing him to do as he pleased.

Thus, although they lived together in the palace, the chances of them meeting each other was extremely rare. When Duan Yunfei saw Imperial Consort Yu today, she was truly shocked.

As the Imperial Consort Yu followed Duan Yunfei inside the house, she smiled and patted Duan Yunfei's arm and said: "Thirteenth Princess, I don't come here for nothing. I have come to your Red Luan Courtyard as a guest today indeed because I have something to discuss with you."

Imperial Consort Yu was usually very cautious, but in front of Duan Yunfei, she was a lot more easygoing. After all, she was someone who had watched Duan Yunfei grow up, so she naturally understood Duan Yunfei's temperament the most. Thirteenth Princess had always had a free and easy personality, and liked to be straightforward. Thus, Imperial Consort Yu did not beat around the bush with her, and spoke directly to her.

Hearing Imperial Consort Yu's words, Duan Yunfei had a rough idea of what was going on. She slightly pulled back the expression on her face and continued to nod towards Imperial Consort Yu. "It doesn't matter why the Empress has come today, but when I see you, I'm very happy. In any case, I'd like to invite you to taste the tea and snacks that I've prepared."

"Alright." Imperial Consort Yu looked down at the snacks on the table and could not help but smile at Duan Yunfei. Then she continued to speak to Duan Yunfei, "Since Thirteenth Princess has already been prepared, I will respectfully accept your offer. Furthermore, this matter was originally not of utmost importance. It just so happens that we can chat while we eat. "

Duan Yunfei and the Imperial Consort Yu were in the hall talking, the sunlight shining in through the window was shining right between Duan Yunfei's eyebrows.

Imperial Consort Yu looked at Duan Yunfei and sighed softly, but didn't know how she should start talking.

On the contrary, Duan Yunfei was more open to it. She raised the teacup and took a sip. After that, she laughed lightly and continued to look at Imperial Consort Yu, smiling as she said to her, "Imperial Concubine must have come to my Red Luan Courtyard today for the wedding of Sixth Princess."

Duan Yunfei's guess of Imperial Consort Yu's intentions surprised him. She raised her head and looked at Duan Yunfei's unconcerned expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Duan Yunfei looked at Imperial Consort Yu and chuckled softly before continuing to speak to Imperial Consort Yu: "Imperial Concubine, don't misunderstand. It's not that I have nothing better to do, but it's just that I am not that small in this palace, so no matter what happens, I will naturally come here. So even if I did, there's nothing strange about it. "

Hearing Duan Yunfei's explanation, Imperial Consort Yu slightly nodded her head, she casually picked up a cup of tea and blew on it, but she was constantly thinking about how to start the conversation.
