Chapter 71: Meet the Crown Princess

After finishing the headdress, she applied Zhang Xueyan's makeup again, raising the ends of her eyes and adding crabapple red lipstick to her lips.

Everything is ready, Nianhua is very satisfied.

With a peach-shaped face, charming eyebrows, and a purple dress, she looks like the Crown Princess of the East Palace.

Zhang Xueyan stood up, tidied up for the last time, and said, "Let's go."

As soon as the two people left the main hall, they saw Li Xuan and his party arriving in the courtyard. He was dressed in black and his face was gloomy.

Zhang Xueyan stood in the corridor and looked up at him.

Their eyes met, and he was the first to look away.

Neither of them spoke.

It's just a stalemate.

The maids and eunuchs in the courtyard did not dare to say a word and lowered their heads.

Finally, Zhang Xueyan moved.

She slowly walked down the steps and asked Li Xuan, "Why are you here?"

"Come to pick you up." His voice was dry.

Zhang Xueyan stopped beside him, raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Then let's go."

After saying that, he walked towards the door first.

All the way to Changle Hall, the courtyard was already full of people.

When they saw the Crown Princess coming in, they all knelt down and saluted.

At this time, two beauties came out of the palace. The moment they saw Zhang Xueyan, their eyes were filled with surprise.

Zhang Xueyan also looked at the two of them, and she naturally knew Ji Rushuang.

The other one is the young lady from Anguo Gong's family. Her appearance is quite pleasant, but her temperament seems a bit stingy compared with Ji Rushuang's.

"Concubine, I have met the Crown Princess." They both said in unison.

"Get up." Zhang Xueyan said.

After the two stood up, Li Xuan and his party arrived.

He glanced at Zhang Xueyan secretly, and then said dullly, "Go in."

After the two of them took their seats, the young lady from Duke Anguo's family came over to pay her respects, "Concubine—Ms. An, please pay homage to the Crown Princess."

Zhang Xueyan's expression was as usual and she said lightly "Hmm".

Anshi listened and was a little unsure of what she meant. She didn't know whether she was happy or unhappy.

Therefore, I felt a little uneasy and quickly looked to the side of Prince Li Xuan as if asking for help.

She had long heard that the Crown Princess had an unpredictable temperament and was difficult to get along with. Before going out, her mother also specifically warned her not to conflict with the Crown Princess. Now she saw that this was exactly the case.

She was dressed brightly and attractively, and her movements were quite dignified, but upon closer inspection, she felt that she was different from the harem women she had come into contact with before.

She couldn't tell exactly what was different.

It always feels weird.

"That's the way the Crown Princess is. You don't have to be nervous." Li Xuan said.

"yes."

Mrs. An bowed again, then went back to sit down.

Then, Li Xuan told the people below him, "From now on, Shuang'er will manage the fourth and sixth bureaus of the East Palace. If you have anything, please report it to Lanyue Zhai."

What?

Anshi was shocked in her seat.

How could such a large Eastern Palace be managed by a concubine?

She was just married, why?

She quickly looked towards the Crown Princess, expecting her to get angry on the spot.

But after watching for a long time, she still sat there as if nothing had happened, not even moving her eyebrows.

What's happening here?

An was puzzled and looked at Ji Rushuang aside.

She didn't seem to have any expression, and she didn't show any surprise at all. She just stood up, saluted, and said "yes" as if going through the process.

An's was even more strange.

She turned her eyes and looked at the prince again, only to see that he had a frown on his face, which was not a happy expression at all.

Her eyes moved back and forth between the three of them several times. Why were each one weirder than the other?

The servants in this palace also lowered their heads and were eerily quiet.

At this time, a gust of wind blew through the hall, making it cool and refreshing.

Anshi silently folded his clothes and watched the three of them motionless, like dummies, very perceptive.

She decided to keep her mouth shut, stand firm first, and find out the situation before speaking.
