The closest person to Concubine De at this moment was the maid who had just served her tea. Upon hearing Concubine De's question, she immediately replied respectfully and truthfully: "Reporting to Concubine De, I don't know—"
Concubine De was already holding back her anger. When she heard this, she paused lightly with the hand holding the cup. The water in the cup swayed, but it did not splash out.
Turning to look at the maid, she squeezed the cup with her fingers so hard that her knuckles turned white. Her eyes did not hide her anger at all, as if she was about to be pulled out and rewarded in the next second.
Dozens of big boards to vent her anger.
The little maid felt someone's eyes staring at her. She looked up and met Concubine De's angry eyes, which scared her to the core.
At this moment, a warm voice came from outside the door. Everyone looked at the sound and saw Zhan Wenxuan and Eunuch Xu coming in one after the other.
"How come my mother and concubine are free today and come to my son's palace for a walk?" Zhan Wenxuan had a smile on his face, as if he was really talking to his mother.
He stood in front of Concubine De and bowed respectfully to her. Without waiting for Concubine De to say "no courtesy", he stood up straight and walked to another empty seat on the main seat to sit down.
Eunuch Xu is also a shrewd person, and he is very observant of words and emotions. Especially the little maid, who was very excited, was obviously frightened by Concubine De. When passing by her, he lowered his voice and said: "Why are you standing there, why don't you hurry out?!"
"
The little maid was already frightened by De Fei. Now that she heard that she could go out, she hurriedly left as quickly as possible.
There were only a few of them left in the front hall. Concubine De put the cup on the table and said calmly: "Nothing, I just realized that I haven't seen Xuan'er for many days. I thought that you have a lot of things and are busy recently. It's not like that."
Yu'er usually knows to go to Yongning Palace all day long, so he goes out of the palace to have a look."
Zhan Wenxuan smiled and nodded, but he did not fully believe what Concubine De said. Even though he did not know her purpose of coming, he had seen everything that happened in the front hall just now.
In the past, when Concubine De came to Prince Xian's palace, had she ever looked like that? Besides, she was just a little maid, so it was impossible to know what he was doing. Why did Concubine De look at that maid with such eyes?
Based on this, you don't need to think too much to know that Concubine De's trip today is definitely not a good thing!
Zhan Wenyu, who had been drinking tea and snacks nearby, now spoke and refreshed his sense of presence.
"My mother-in-law left the palace today, but she made a special trip to visit Seventh Brother. After all, Seventh Brother has been busy these days. He didn't even have time to pay his respects to his mother-in-law and go to Changning Palace to see Xiao Lin'er."
"My mother and concubine also told my father not to arrange too many things for Seventh Brother. But my father didn't listen and my mother and concubine had no choice but to make this trip in person."
Zhan Wenyu's words were so high-sounding that no one could fault him at all. But Zhan Wenxuan didn't know anything. After Su Wan made a big fuss in the imperial study room, the feeling given to him by Concubine De was...
It's like a completely different person.
Especially regarding Su Yun's matter, every word De Fei said seemed so deliberate, which made him extremely upset.
However, Concubine De did not mention this matter today, so Zhan Wenxuan patiently continued to accompany her in the front hall.
I saw the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a just right smile, and followed Zhan Wenyu's words and said: "My mother and concubine's thoughts are all understood. But what I am busy with now is that in two months' time, the envoys from various countries will
I came to the capital to congratulate my father on his birthday."
"The only adult princes under my father's lap are my eldest brother, me and my eighth brother. My eldest brother left the fiefdom early, so he is unable to help his sons."
"My mother-in-law was also a princess of a country before, so she must have known that these things are extremely complicated. I thought that it would be great if I had the help of my eighth brother -"
After hearing Zhan Wenxuan's words, Concubine De was no longer as cold and perfunctory as before. She turned to look at Zhan Wenyu, who looked childish, and her eyes changed.
After all, Zhan Wenyu has kept a low profile for so many years. On the surface, he gives the impression that he is a carefree and carefree prince. But since he wants to ascend to that position, he needs an opportunity to show his prominence in front of others.
This time Emperor Xiaoxian's birthday is the best opportunity.
As long as Zhan Wenyu is involved, no matter how much he does, he only needs to arrange for a few ministers to come out and say a few words of praise, and if they reach the ears of Emperor Xiaoxian, he will definitely treat her son differently.
