Chapter 332 Finding Joy
"Brother Yu, you are finally back." Dugu Xiaomeng was restless all day and finally waited until the prince came back.
"Oh, my sister is here, why haven't you returned to the mansion?" Shen Yiyu stayed in Sikong's mansion for an afternoon and drank a little too much. He forced himself to refuse Sikong's kindness to ask him to stay overnight.
"Brother, did you promised to take me in for a few days?" Dugu Xiaomeng realized that the prince was drunk. She was very unhappy and was waiting for his news, but he didn't know where to go to have fun.
"Mr. Dugu has returned to the mansion, so you can go back quickly." Shen Yiyu never wanted to leave a woman to spend the night in the mansion. No matter what time the troupe sang, he would chase him back to Qibin Tower or other courtyard even in the middle of the night.
"Thank you, Brother Yu, for saving my father from the underworld. Xiaomeng, I have to say anything, and I will definitely keep my promise." Dugu Xiaomeng smiled and knew that she had asked for the right person because she always remembered that Shen Yien said that the emperor loved the prince the most.
"What promise?" Shen Yiyu was drunk and his reaction was even slower, and forgot what Dugu Xiaomeng said when he begged him.
"Your Highness rescued my father. No matter what request you make, Xiaomeng will do her best." Dugu Xiaomeng reiterated that she was stubborn and never gave up until she achieved her goal, except for feelings.
"It's just a matter of time, sister doesn't need to care too much. Now it's okay. Go back to the house to see Lord Dugu." Shen Yiyu gently patted Dugu Xiaomeng on the shoulder, "Your father is back, and I will not dare to bully you anymore."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll deal with it all night in the mansion." Dugu Xiaomeng missed Shen Yien very much at this moment. If he were there, he would definitely take her in delicious food and drink. No matter how long she stayed in Prince Edward's Mansion, she would not be driven away by her master.
"Well, my sister will do it myself." Shen Yiyu would not say that he would chase Dugu Xiaomeng away. After all, he was his princess's concubine. He had to move into the prince's mansion after getting married. He was unwilling to move back to the East Palace. His father had asked before whether to renovate the East Palace, but he refused resolutely and lived in his own mansion so freely.
"Which room should I live in?" Dugu Xiaomeng took the initiative to ask. She couldn't live with the maid.
"Sister, please let Butler Zhao take you to rest. I'm so uncomfortable. Go back to the house first. If you are negligent, I hope you will forgive me." Shen Yiyu left after saying that, leaving Dugu Xiaomeng for a moment. She didn't expect that the prince was so indifferent to him. Why did she say that she was also a distinguished guest of the prince's mansion?
"Master, I'm good to take you to the west wing?" Butler Zhao waited from afar. He was terrified to disturb the purity of the prince and the princess. He was about to hold a marriage ceremony in half a month. The person in front of him was already his master.
"Butler, where did the prince just come back?" Dugu Xiaomeng asked curiously.
"Reply to my master's words, I don't know where Your Highness has gone. I never dare to ask about Your Highness's whereabouts. Your Highness also dislikes others asking too much." Butler Zhao kindly reminded Dugu Xiaomeng.
"I understand." Dugu Xiaomeng curled her lips and thought to herself, as if she was willing to take care of the prince's whereabouts. "Butler, who is the girl you just sent away?"
"That's one of the members of Your Highness's troupe, Miss Lando, the master doesn't need to care." Butler Zhao was covering the prince. He didn't expect that the princess began to want to control the prince's life before he even left the door. He felt that Dugu Xiaomeng was not a good man, and he was very worried about his master.
"Then I understand. I said why it looks familiar? It turns out that I've heard her drama before, but the girl's rouge was too thick at that time. I didn't recognize her as plain. I didn't expect her to be so beautiful and elegant." Dugu Xiaomeng finally understood why Miss Lando glared at her fiercely when she left. It turned out that she was envious and jealous of her.
"Miss Lando is even more talented, otherwise Your Highness would not value her so much. In terms of appearance, you must be your master. When I saw you the first time, I thought I was a fairy who came down to earth." Butler Zhao was first-class in flattery, but he was careful and low-key in his work, so he was deeply trusted by Shen Yiyu.
"Butler Zhao is so good at speaking, he must be highly valued by the prince." Dugu Xiaomeng doesn't like such a boastful person on weekdays.
"Thank you, my master, for your praise. I am pleased with your master to have the support of such a smart wife as you in the future." Butler Zhao finally took Dugu Xiaomeng to the west wing room. "Master, if you have any trouble, please tell me. I will send two maids to serve you later. I will wait."
"No need, it's a big trouble, let's have a good rest." Dugu Xiaomeng didn't even have a close maid. She didn't like someone to follow her. No matter who serves her, she was like a detailed work sent by Aunt Jing, so she became used to being alone since she was a child.
The wing room of the Prince's Mansion has never been inhabited, saying that it was prepared for guests, but the Prince's Mansion never stayed overnight, so that the west wing room where Dugu Xiaomeng temporarily lives was also a layer of dust. She didn't expect that the magnificent Prince's Mansion had such a dirty room. Fortunately, she could not pick on anything even if she had only been dealing with it for a night.
Dugu Xiaomeng understood that the goal of going to stay in the inn was too obvious. Recently, the inns in the imperial capital were all the targets of inspection due to the disappearance of Concubine Jing. She did not want to fall into the trap. It would be impossible for her to go to the Nenyi Mansion to stay temporarily. But if others knew about it, it would be easy to spread rumors. If Shen Yien was labeled as a robber of the prince's woman, her sin would be great.
Dugu Xiaomeng was full of worries when she thought of Shen Yien. She always regarded him as a friend who could share happiness and hardships. After she heard that Shen Yien was taken hostage by Jin Ge, she cried all day long and even her eyes were swollen. She never thought that when she needed Shen Yien's company the most, he would leave her.
Dugu Xiaomeng never thought that Shen Yien would be in danger and had no news. She also tried to write a letter to Shen Yien to greet him, but after all the letters were written, she didn't know who should ask where to take the letter.
Nowadays, not only can't even see Shen Yien, but even the Shen Yishuo she was thinking about was gone. She counted the time when Shen Yishuo left, hoping that he would return to the imperial capital as soon as possible. She missed the lively banquet she attended with the princes. Everyone talked and laughed and was having fun. At that time, even Shen Yiyu was very friendly to her. She would not be so cold and hot, and being close and separated made her confused.
Thinking of this, Dugu Xiaomeng laughed bitterly and said, "Ha~"
She didn't expect to have an indissoluble bond with these three brothers. She was like a puppet, and she performed different scenes with the three princes. Why was the ending of the play? No one could predict in advance.
