"Qifeng Hall is where the prince and the princess live after they get married." The female official Xianglan stood aside and replied respectfully, "But the prince and you have not yet gotten married. To avoid suspicion, the prince may rest in the study tonight."
Yun Zishu frowned: "Study?"
"Yes." Xianglan replied in a low voice, "The prince wants to summon General Fu and Young Master Huangfu to discuss matters. He has not said anything about going to bed at night."
Yun Zishu was silent: "Master Huangfu is the son of General Wang Huangfu Liyuan?"
Xianglan nodded: "Yes."
"how old is he?"
"This year I just reached the weak championship."
"How are you as a person?"
"It is said outside the palace that Young Master Huangfu is a famous little overlord in the imperial city. He is unruly and arrogant." Xianglan replied, turning to Yue Ying to pour a glass of water for His Highness, and then continued, "But Young Master Huangfu is dressed in all the clothes."
His kung fu is mastered by the great general Wang Zhen, and there are few young men in the entire imperial city who are his rivals. He will beat anyone who makes him unhappy, so few people dare to provoke him."
Yun Zishu understood clearly, secretly that he was indeed a little overlord. To put it nicely, he looked like a young man with a bright clothes and an angry horse, but in the eyes of his opponents, he was just relying on his father's power to act unscrupulously and domineeringly, not taking anyone seriously.
inside.
If there are too many people offended, disaster may be brewed.
The inner hall was scented with incense, and a faint fragrance lingered on the bed and quilts. Yun Zishu's voice became lazier: "He doesn't have any friends?"
"The young masters of the aristocratic families usually interact with each other, but I don't know exactly who they are good friends with." Xianglan smiled, "Temperatures and temperaments are widely spread outside, and people in the palace often discuss them.
The more you listen, the more you will naturally understand something, but the deeper information will not be known.”
Yun Zishu hummed.
"Young Master Huangfu is good-looking, and even if he has a bad temper, there are several noble ladies from the imperial family who admire him, so there will be more rumors about him." Xianglan explained, "But as the son of a great general, his status
After all, no one dares to talk too much about his private affairs."
Yun Zishu understood that rumors were rumors, and whether it was unruly or arrogant, it was just a matter of temper and was harmless.
But who do you interact with on a daily basis, what kind of friends do you make, what things do you often go to... There are definitely a lot of people who investigate privately, and generally no one is stupid enough to discuss these in public.
Especially the palace people who work in the palace dare not discuss it openly. If they are not careful, they will be beaten, or they will lose their lives.
Yueying came over with water and presented it to Yun Zishu respectfully.
Yun Zishu took it, took a sip, and asked lightly: "Apart from the emperor, which princes of the Dongyou royal family have more power?"
"The King of Qin, the King of Wei, the King of Su, and the King of Jin." Xianglan replied, "These four princes have great power and prominent palaces, and each has an influence that cannot be ignored in the court."
Yun Zishu turned to look at her, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Can you tell me all these questions I asked?"
"I don't dare to talk nonsense outside, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has told me that no matter what you want to know, princess, I must tell you everything." Xianglan curtsied and her tone became more respectful, "You can tell me anything else you want to know.
You can also ask about matters in the palace."
Yun Zishu's eyebrows moved slightly: "Speaking of the palace...I heard that Dongyou has a very favored Concubine Gua?"
"yes."
"Is she still favored now?"
Xianglan thought for a while and said seriously: "Concubine Gua is not an ordinary beloved concubine, but the emperor and the empress both trust her."
"She has no children?"
"No."
"How is this Gua Fei like a person?"
"Concubine Gua usually lives in seclusion and rarely sees people." Xianglan said, "Her Baoxiang Palace is only served by a few caring people, so it is very quiet."
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment thoughtfully, then said calmly: "What kind of woman is Situ Wan, the direct daughter of the Situ family?"
"Princess Wuyang, the daughter of Princess Situ and Princess Hepingle, is known as the two concubines of the imperial city. Miss Situ is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Princess Wuyang knows everything about swords, guns and maces."
Are swords, guns, and maces omnipotent?
Surprise appeared on Yun Zishu's face, "It seems that this little princess is still a hero among women."
"Princess Wuyang is indeed different from other ladies."
Yun Zishu had finished asking questions for the time being, and leaned against the bedside in silence for a while. Xianglan and Yueying stood aside with lowered eyebrows and eyes. After a moment, Leng Yue spoke: "Our Highness has just arrived in Dongyou, and he doesn't understand many things.
, if there are any customs and taboos in the Dongyou royal family that require special attention, please remind them, and don't let your highness make mistakes."
Xianglan dared not say: "Your Highness, don't worry, my servant and Yueying will serve the princess well."
"Your Highness, please rest early." Yue Ying smiled, "Maybe I can invite the prince to come over -"
"No need." Yun Zishu stopped, "No need to disturb him for the time being."
"yes."
Si Cang has just come back and should be very busy at the moment. Yun Zishu doesn't want to disturb him, but traveling long distances consumes his energy. Even those who practice martial arts need to take a good rest and recharge their batteries.
Yun Zishu was thinking about whether she should let Sicang rest early tonight, when she looked up and saw him stepping in from outside the palace door. His figure was tall and straight, like an unsheathed sword, carrying a strong sense of helplessness at all times.
The pressure of neglect.
Sicang held two trays in his hands. There were lids on the trays to cover the soup cups. Xianglan and Yueying quickly walked over to take the trays and put the food on the trays one by one on the table.
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows, stood up and walked over.
"Your Highness, you must be hungry." Sicang turned to look at her, "Eat something to fill your stomach."
"Didn't you go to work?"
Sicang raised his hand to dismiss the maid, holding Yun Zishu's hand and sitting down at the table: "Other matters will be dealt with later. It's more important to take care of His Highness first."
Yun Zishu raised her eyes and looked at him: "Are you going to discuss matters with others tonight?"
Sicang nodded: "You go to bed first and I'll be back before midnight."
"Where will you sleep tonight?"
"Let's go to the side hall." Sicang said, "Don't get up too early tomorrow. I told them not to disturb His Highness's sleep."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "Sleeping in on the first day after arriving in Dongyou?"
"Except for the servants of Qifeng Palace, no one else will know." Si Cang said, adding, "Even if they know, it has nothing to do with them. Anyone who dares to laugh at you will be beaten back by His Highness."
Yun Zishu chuckled: "Okay, the confidence given by His Highness the Crown Prince will be in vain if I don't use it."
Seeing her smiling happily, Si Cang also smiled: "Just eat less at night. If you eat too much, you will accumulate food."
"What are your plans for tomorrow?"
Sicang shook his head slowly: "Your Highness will sleep until he wakes up naturally tomorrow morning. After breakfast, I will accompany His Highness to walk around the mansion to familiarize myself with the layout of the Prince's Mansion. I will have a good rest these two days and prepare for the wedding ceremony on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year."
