Under the palace, the slightly pale sunlight shone on the white jade steps, warmly shaking others' eyes. The bright red carpet spread out like a blooming hibiscus. Sixth Princess Duan Yingluo was dressed in the Hundred Birds of the Sun and Phoenix Rainbow Five Color Cloud Patterned Dress, her black hair was completely tied up. Lingyun, who was sitting on top of a bun, was wearing a pair of golden phoenix butterflies and two golden phoenixes. She walked down the steps step by step, the long train of her dress unfurling behind her, her forehead bright, the cardamom and red lips of her slender fingers magnificent.
The people on the two sides of the stairs all revealed a happy look, and started discussing softly: Sixth Princess was born so beautiful, and now that he has made a good marriage with The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting, who knows how many blessings he will have in the future.
Only Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang stood on top of the palace city and were unwilling to say a single word.
After a long while, Mu Chuyang finally let out a sigh, turned around and looked at Duan Yunfei. After pondering for a while, he continued to speak, "Everyone in the palace envies Sixth Princess, and they say that her fate is good. Now that you have grown up and have married into the The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting, you will have a glorious life ahead of you. "
"That was said by someone else, how would they know if the Sixth Princess was doing well or not?" Duan Yunfei raised her head, looked at the sky outside the city walls and let out a light breath.
Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Mu Chuyang could not help but become suspicious. She turned her head to look at Duan Yunfei with interest, and asked with a smile: "Why do you say that, Thirteenth Princess?"
"Sixth Princess is a competitive type of person, they always like the best things, and never allow themselves to be wronged. But the heir to the The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting family was just a mediocre person. If this was in the past, she would not even be able to enter the eyes of the Sixth Princess. After experiencing so many things over these years, Ying Luo's mood is no longer the same as before, but I think there's still some unwillingness in her heart. " Duan Yunfei slowly said as she turned her head to the side.
Beneath the city walls, the Crown Prince of The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting was riding on a large horse, walking at the front of the procession to escort the bride. His face lit up as she turned around to look at the big red sedan behind him. He probably never would have thought that one day, she would become the son-in-law of the Son of Heaven. It was just that she did not know how Sixth Princess, who was sitting in the sedan, felt at this moment.
After sending off the guests, Yuwen Di was clearly a little tired. He sat on the roof of the hall, his hand on his forehead, dozing off after a quarter of an hour.
Seeing that, the Eunuch Ming hurriedly donned on Yuwen Di's clothes, afraid that he would catch a cold.
"Eunuch Ming." He draped some clothes over Yuwen Di and just as he was about to leave, he heard the emperor's somewhat heavy voice.
"Your servant is here." Eunuch Ming hurriedly turned his head and bowed towards Yuwen Di as he replied with a smile on his face.
Yuwen Di muttered to himself for a while before sitting up. Although today was a happy day for the palace, as the master of this palace, he did not express too much joy. The emperor raised his head, looked outside the palace city for a long time, then sighed lightly and asked the Eunuch Ming: "Presumably at this time, Ying Luo should have already arrived at the The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting."
"Eunuch Ming extended his hand out and calculated it, before nodding to Yuwen Di. "According to the Emperor, it should be time already."
"That's good." Yuwen Di lightly nodded, stood up and walked behind him.
Today was the day when the Sixth Princess was overjoyed. Starting from early in the morning, she respectfully toasted the emperor and empress, bidding farewell to the concubines of the various palaces. She kept a faint smile on his face from beginning to end. No one could tell if she was truly happy or not.
Before marriage, Yuwen Di touched Sixth Princess's forehead and couldn't help but feel choked up. But Sixth Princess only smiled faintly, and said to him: "Royal father, take care!"
At this time, Duan Yunfei was still standing on top of the city walls. The wind was strong, causing her clothes to flutter and her hair to become a lot more messy.
"If it wasn't for me, the Sixth Princess wouldn't have married the successor of the The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting today. According to her beauty and intelligence, he would have found a better origin." Duan Yunfei smiled faintly, extended his hand and pushed the hair that was blown up to the side.
"Little Thirteen, this has nothing to do with you …" Without waiting for Duan Yunfei to finish speaking, Mu Chuyang hurriedly said to her.
Duan Yunfei did not answer, but only gave a bland smile and sighed before continuing: "Back then, Sixth Princess was jealous and always wanted the best thing to happen. What happened after that changed my life, and didn't I also change hers?"
Duan Yunfei said as she walked towards the city walls.
The past blew away like smoke in the wind.
"Little Thirteen, news has arrived from Jiangnan. It seems that the salt transportation in Jiangnan will end in half a month. The Emperor is extremely satisfied with the Fifth Prince's work, so when he returns, he will definitely be bestowed with unending rewards. Furthermore, with the help of the The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting, if nothing unexpected happens, the position of crown prince will probably belong to him. " Mu Chuyang followed behind Duan Yunfei, and after seeing that there was no one around, he finally spoke to Duan Yunfei in a low voice.
"That Fifth Prince was originally one of the most outstanding princes in the world, if there wasn't the Empress present. I will also definitely strongly support my royal father in making him Crown Prince. " While Duan Yunfei was speaking, she suddenly paused, and couldn't help but sigh. Unfortunately, we were all born in this monarch's family, and most of us are just victims of power. "
The Sixth Princess was like this, the Fifth Prince was like this, and everyone in the palace was the same.
Returning to the Red Luan Courtyard, Xiao Yang had long made tea, and seeing Duan Yunfei and Young Prince Mu walking in, he knew that they must have something important to discuss, so he quickly left.
Mu Chuyang sat down opposite of Duan Yunfei, and subconsciously glanced at Duan Yunfei before continuing to speak to him in a low voice: "Although the matter of the Jiangnan salt transportation is about to end, I have already made arrangements for this matter, and I definitely won't let the Fifth Prince smoothly return to the capital to receive his rewards. You don't have to worry either."
Duan Yunfei muttered to herself for a while, then lightly nodded her head at Mu Chuyang, "I will trouble Young Prince Mu with this matter, but I have told you from the beginning, this matter cannot involve people who are not related, nor can it harm ordinary people."
Duan Yunfei said as she raised her head and looked at Mu Chuyang expressionlessly.
Mu Chuyang pondered for a moment, then nodded at Duan Yunfei, "Don't worry, I will take care of it properly."
