On the morning of the second day, after using brunch, Zuo Yuanyuan rode on the carriage towards the palace under the gaze of the Lady Zuo. This time, Zuo Yuanyuan did not forget to bring the cinnamon cake that the Aunt Yun made for Duan Yunfei. Zuo Yuan hoped that Duan Yunfei's mood would be better after eating the cinnamon cake.
Since Zuo Yuanyuan was in a rush to tell Duan Yunfei what she heard outside the room with the Minister of the Left and the Lady Zuo last night, she ordered the coachman to send her to the palace as soon as possible. However, for the sake of her safety, the coachman sped up, but it was not too fast.
"You should return to the estate first. I don't know when I'll be able to leave the palace today. If I leave the palace late, I will stay in Red Luan Palace tonight. Remember to report this to the prime minister and his wife. " Zuo Yuan felt that this was a very important matter, and that she and Duan Yunfei had to think of a solution today.
"Miss must be careful."
"What danger can I encounter in the palace? You are just like my mother; even I am not at ease in the palace." After Zuo Yuan said that, she entered the palace and headed straight towards the Red Luan Palace.
Zuo Yuan could be considered to have grown up in the palace. All the palace maid in the palace knew her. Along the way, Zuo Yuan met a lot of people who greeted her, including the Imperial Consort Yun.
Although Zuo Yuan did not want to get involved with the Imperial Consort Yun, she was the daughter of the Minister of the Left, so she could not act rashly in the palace. No matter what, the Imperial Consort Yun was still an imperial concubine.
"Zuo Chong greets Imperial Consort Yun."
"Isn't this the Left Premier's daughter? After so many days, the Miss Zuo Yuan was getting more and more beautiful. He came to the palace today to look for the Thirteenth Princess? "Alright, hurry up and get up." "Zuo Yuanyuan is the daughter of the Minister of the Left, and Eighth Prince's Eighth Prince is fighting for the position of crown prince and requires the help of the Minister of the Left. Even if Imperial Consort Yun knows that Zuo Yuanyuan will not help him, she will not let go of any opportunity to curry favor with her." How are the Left Premier and Madam doing? "
Zuo Yuan was not an idiot, she knew what the Imperial Consort Yun was thinking, wasn't the Imperial Consort Yun trying to curry favor with her for the sake of the Eighth Prince? It was a pity, even in Zuo Yuan's eyes, Eighth Prince was just a prince with ambitions but no power. The Minister of the Left would never help the Eighth Prince snatch the position of crown prince, let alone the Minister of the Left, who had always disliked participating in ganging up groups in the imperial court.
"Father and Mother are well and healthy, is worried. Imperial Concubine, Zuo Yuan still has some matters to discuss with Thirteenth Princess, so she will not accompany Imperial Concubine in admiring the flowers. "
Imperial Consort Yun felt that Zuo Yuanyuan was simply refusing a toast and eating a forfeit. He was giving her face, but she was the one who did it, she couldn't wait to let him know that she wasn't willing to talk to him. But Imperial Consort Yun knew she could not act rashly, she could only force out a seemingly friendly but hidden smile, "Since that's the case, Miss Zuo Yuan should quickly go find Thirteenth Princess, so as to prevent Thirteenth Princess from waiting too long."
"Then Zuo Yuan will be leaving first. Imperial Concubine, please take care." Zuo Yuan wanted to leave quickly, but when she spoke to Imperial Consort Yun, she felt that she would die. Although they had their own thoughts, they would act hypocritically, and Zuo Yuan did not want to do such a thing. This was also the reason why only Zuo Yuan was able to befriend Duan Yunfei amongst the daughters of the ministers.
After leaving the imperial garden, not long after, Zuo Yuanyuan arrived at Red Luan Palace.
Because Zuo Yuanyuan did not inform him that she would be coming to Red Luan Palace today, Xiao Ya was still a little worried when she saw Zuo Yuanyuan. Before Zuo Yuan even entered the Red Luan Palace, Xiao Ya was already anxious to go inside to report to Duan Yunfei.
"Princess …" Xiao Ya ran a little frantically, and when she arrived in front of Duan Yunfei, she was still gasping for breath.
Duan Yunfei felt that it was strange, why is Xiao Ya in such a state of panic so early in the morning, could it be that Mu Chuyang is here? " What's the rush in the morning? Slow down. "
"Miss Zuo Yuan is here."
Once he heard that it was Zuo Chong, Duan Yunfei immediately relaxed.
Xiao Yang who was at the side burst out into laughter, "Miss Zuo Yuan is here, why are you so anxious? It's not like Miss Zuo Yuan is some monster that eats people."
Xiao Ya finally realized that she was being too extreme, and scratched her head in embarrassment, "This servant doesn't know, but when I saw Miss Zuo Yuan from afar, I suddenly became anxious."
"Zuo Yuan heard Xiao Yang mocking Xiao Ya as soon as she entered the room," Xiao Yang, I heard you say something bad about me. I treat you so well, yet you say that I'm a man-eating monster. " Zuo Yuanyuan naturally heard everything Xiao Yang said, and all that was said was just to tease her.
Hearing that, Xiao Yang panicked, afraid that Zuo Yuan would misunderstand him.
"I did not hear everything that Miss Zuo Yuan had said. I clearly said 'Miss Zuo Yuan is as beautiful as a fairy, and is so kind, not some man-eating monster'. Miss, please do not misunderstand Xiao Yang."
Seeing Xiao Yang's quick reaction, Zuo Yuan felt that it was meaningless and did not continue to tease her.
"Why are you here today?" Duan Yunfei thought that Zuo Yuanyuan entering the palace was most likely related to Mu Chuyang, and it just so happened that she wanted to discuss what she had said to Xiao Yang with Zuo Yuanyuan.
"I have something to say to you."
Duan Yunfei knew that Zuo Yuan wanted him to spend everyone else on this, so she let the palace maid s who were serving him go, leaving Xiao Yang behind.
After the palace maid left, Zuo Yuan went straight to the point and talked about what he heard last night.
"Last night, I accidentally overheard Father and Mother's conversation. They said that the empress had already chosen the person to be the betrothed, and was waiting for you to make a decision." Yun Fei, matters of marriage, I hope you can think about it for yourself. What did Chu Yang say to you that day, just what did you think of it? "
"I was also planning to look for you to discuss this matter, but I didn't expect you to come first. Yesterday, Xiao Ya heard the conversation between her father and the empress and came back to tell me about it. To be honest, I think Chu Yang's suggestion is feasible, but now is not the best time. After all, Chu Yang has just recovered from his severe illness. Royal Father still hasn't told me about this matter and I don't know who the empress has chosen. Since you want me to make a decision, I might as well go and take a look at each and every one of them. If I really can't accept it, then you'll have to beat around the bush in front of Chu Yang. But, I will still feel sorry towards Chu Yang … "
