After seeing Duan Yunfei, Xiao Gui was even more surprised. The woman in front who was dressed in ordinary clothes and did not wear any accessories, and who even had no makeup on her face, was actually Yuwen Di's most beloved Thirteenth Princess?
Xiao Gui's heart was filled with curiosity, but he was just a eunuch so how could he dare to directly size Duan Yunfei up? Moreover, he had a mission at the moment, so it wouldn't be too late for his doubts about Duan Yunfei to slowly be resolved in the future.
Although Xiao Gui had more or less heard about Duan Yunfei in the past few days, most of the things she had said were that Duan Yunfei's matriarch was Yuwen Di's most beloved concubine while she was still alive. Duan Yunfei had been doted upon by Yuwen Di since birth, and she had even said that Duan Yunfei was a good-natured princess.
After all, no matter what one said in the palace, they had to consider the consequences. Since Duan Yunfei was the princess whom Yuwen Di loved the most, then if they were to criticize him, the outcome would definitely be ugly. Xiao Gui thought that maybe it was because of this reason that the palace s comments on Duan Yunfei were limited to this.
Duan Yunfei did not give Xiao Gui much time to think. After listening to Xiao Yang's report, Duan Yunfei picked up the slightly cold pastries that Xiao Ya had brought back and leisurely took a bite. She then asked Xiao Gui why she was at the entrance of the Red Luan Palace and did not come in.
"You said that you were sent by royal father?"
Xiao Gui was thinking about why Duan Yunfei was so special, when he suddenly heard Duan Yunfei asking about it. She was at a loss on what to do and did not know how to reply.
"If you return to the Thirteenth Princess, His Majesty indeed sent a servant to invite you over." Following Eunuch Li's instructions, Xiao Gui answered Duan Yunfei respectfully.
Xiao Yang was afraid that Duan Yunfei would choke on her words while she was eating, so he went to pour Duan Yunfei a cup of water. When Xiao Yang passed the water over to Duan Yunfei, he smiled at her knowingly.
Since the pastries were a little stiff after being cold, Duan Yunfei did indeed almost choke, but the pastries were also Duan Yunfei's favorite. Even if she had to take the risk of choking on them, Duan Yunfei was still unwilling to put them down, but luckily Xiao Yang understood her best and brought her a cup of water at this time.
After drinking a bit, Duan Yunfei decided to continue asking. But Xiao Yang felt that it was not good for Duan Yunfei to be asking questions while eating, so he went up and whispered into Duan Yunfei's ears, "Princess, the left and right pastries are already cold, why not let the royal kitchen make another serving?
Duan Yunfei had been waiting for this cake for a long time, how could she get one? A few days ago, because Mu Chuyang was not in a good mood, Duan Yunfei had delivered many pastries from the royal kitchen. Because she had no appetite, she did not eat even a single mouthful. Now that their mood had finally improved, and they thought of the pastries that had been wasted in the past few days, they felt that it was quite a pity. Thus, they had Xiao Ya go to the imperial kitchens and instruct them to cook.
Duan Yunfei shook her head and insisted on eating the pastry. Seeing Duan Yunfei being so persistent, Xiao Yang did not say anymore, it was rare that Duan Yunfei's appetite was good, she could only watch, to prevent Duan Yunfei from choking.
"But why did Xiao Ya say that you were hiding in front of the Red Luan Palace's entrance? If you were really ordered by royal father to come to Red Luan Palace, why didn't you come in while waiting at the entrance of Red Luan Palace? "
This was all Xiao Ya's imagination. If he really had other motives, why would he wait for someone to find him in front of the Red Luan Palace's gate?
Xiao Gui felt that he had come at the wrong time and coincidentally met Xiao Ya. This palace maid was his nemesis. Xiao Gui could only hope that he wouldn't be related to Xiao Ya in the future. Otherwise, he would only feel unlucky for eight lifetimes.
"Princess, your servant was wrongly accused. This servant just entered the palace and was suddenly sent by His Majesty to invite you. This servant thought all the way and couldn't figure out how to tell you about this matter. As a result, just as I arrived at Red Luan Palace and was thinking about how I should explain this matter to you, I met this Big Sister Xiao Ya. Big Sister Xiao Ya saw that she had never seen a servant before, and had to say that the servant was actually sneaking around at the door with evil intentions, feeling uneasy and kind. This servant is truly wronged. "
Duan Yunfei felt that there was nothing wrong with what Xiao Gui said. Worse comes to worse, she would just follow Xiao Gui, and if what she said was true, everyone would be happy. If Yuwen Di did not call Duan Yunfei in, then he would know that Xiao Gui Zi was lying, and at that time, Duan Yunfei could ask who the mastermind behind this was. In any case, within the palace, if someone wanted to harm Duan Yunfei, it would not be that easy.
"Since that's the case, I'll go with you. You'd better speak the truth, or else …" How could Xiao Gui not understand what Duan Yunfei meant?
However, Xiao Gui felt that Duan Yunfei was a bold princess, if Xiao Gui Zi truly had some ulterior motives, then wouldn't Duan Yunfei's actions be like walking into a trap? However, Xiao Gui was impressed when she saw that Duan Yunfei was not a timid person.
Duan Yunfei did not care about all these, but Xiao Ya was unhappy. Princess, are you really going with this young eunuch? "Why don't I go with you?"
When Xiao Ya said these words, it made the people of Red Luan Palace seem timid. Furthermore, she had been arguing with Xiao Gui Zi at the entrance of the Red Luan Palace, which was already rather impressive. Xiao Yang had not scolded her yet, but she had brought up this matter again.
Duan Yunfei knew that Xiao Ya was worried about him, but she was indeed not worried about him facing any danger. After all, they were inside the palace and even Duan Liusu did not dare to harm him openly.
"You are called Xiao Gui Zi, right? I will pack my things first and you wait for me at the entrance of Red Luan Palace." Duan Yunfei was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Xiao Yang to say something to Xiao Ya, so she sent Xiao Gui away. Although Xiao Ya did not consider this matter too much, she still had to save some face for Xiao Yang when it came to giving pointers to Xiao Ya.
Since Duan Yunfei had already said so, Xiao Gui could only leave this place as soon as possible to prevent Xiao Ya from saying that she wasn't suspicious of this matter.
"Well, don't worry. I haven't said anything about you cooling the pastries, but why are you still holding on to this matter? If Xiao Gui Zi's words are true, then it will be a crime of negligence. Who do you think will be responsible for this crime? I hope that what happened today will not happen again. I am not blaming you for it, I just hope that you can understand. "
