The guards saw that she was young, sweet-looking, and like a fairy, but she was dressed in ordinary clothes.
He also had a very friendly attitude and said: "Give it to me. You can't go inside. The Queen Mother's disease will be contagious to others."
At this time, an old voice was heard from behind the door, asking: "Who is outside? Is Ruier here?"
The guard said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, it is the palace maid who delivers the food."
Although Queen Mother Shen was imprisoned in Wan'an Palace, she was still the emperor's biological mother, so the soldiers, maids and eunuchs did not dare to neglect her.
Before she could reply, the maids inside had already taken the Queen Mother away.
No one thought that in less than a year, the Queen Mother, who was sitting on the dragon throne behind the beaded curtain and wielding power, would become what she is today.
Jun Mengfei was shocked when she saw her appearance through the crack in the door, because the Queen Mother Shen she saw already looked like an old man with gray hair.
The ladies-in-waiting all wore veils for fear of being infected by Queen Mother Shen.
At this time, Queen Mother Shen also turned towards the door and kept shouting: "Rui'er, the Ai family wants to see Rui'er, so don't drag the Ai family."
Her spirit also seemed a little abnormal, as if she didn't know she was sick.
At this time, another woman dressed as a palace maid appeared...
Jun Mengfei took a closer look and exclaimed: "Queen..."
The soldier quickly said: "Stop looking, what queen? That is the Queen Mother."
She didn't answer the soldier's words, and thought to herself: "Why is Shen Yan in Wan'an Palace? Who locked her here? Is it the emperor's brother? How did she become a palace maid? I heard that Leng Palace also lost a man. There was a fire, and neither the Queen nor Shangguan Han escaped the fire..."
Jun Mengfei finally understood why the soldiers guarding the door didn't recognize her. It turned out that they didn't recognize Shen Yan either.
Shen Yan is a deposed queen, how could the people in the palace not know her.
The emperor ordered that no one be allowed to approach Wan'an Palace. Since the death of Aunt Gui, all the maids and eunuchs here have been replaced.
Jun Mengfei just wanted to see what Queen Mother Shen looked like now. Only after she recovered her memory did she know how tragically her mother had been killed.
Since Queen Mother Shen has an incurable disease, let her not die so quickly.
What she cared about most was her appearance. She didn't expect that the current Empress Dowager Shen looked like she was in her twilight years.
She didn't really go in and walked straight back.
At this time Narcissus came over and said: "Princess, why did you come to Wan'an Palace?"
Jun Mengfei made a silent gesture towards her and whispered: "Please keep your voice down, there was a guard who didn't recognize me just now."
Narcissus was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Tianqi Kingdom has arrived in Dayuan City."
"Who did you listen to? I was with my eldest brother just now, and he didn't say anything," she said.
"The prince should know the news from Chu Feng soon." Narcissus said.
Jun Mengfei's heart skipped a beat, her good mood just now seemed to have been poured with cold water in an instant, and her face no longer looked as relaxed and comfortable as she had in front of Jun Mohan.
So, am I really going to get married?
But I haven’t had my haircut yet. Didn’t I say I have to wait until I turn fifteen?
When Narcissus saw her face turned ashen, her eyes were full of heartache: "Princess."
Jun Mengfei adjusted her mood and said with a smile: "Let's go back to the palace first. In fact, I have been prepared for it for a long time. I just feel a little reluctant to leave Long Yuan Kingdom and go to such a far place."
Narcissus knew that she was forcing a smile and said, "I can't bear to let you go." She also couldn't bear to let the princess be unhappy.
Jun Mengfei comforted her in turn and said, "Don't be sad. I made a lot of snacks. You ask Bai Zhi to take them out of the palace to exchange for silver."
"Okay, a few days ago Bai Zhi received a message from the boss, asking Cui Xiaoniang why she didn't cook. Many customers have come to ask," Shuixian said.
"Is my princess's craftsmanship becoming more and more sophisticated? Does it look like what my mother does?"
"Well, it's very similar. The princess has the true inheritance of the queen."
"And Aunt Cui." She smiled and said, "She is my princess's master."
"The princess also calls her master..."
The two of them also instantly forgot about the crown prince of Tianqi Kingdom.
-
On the other side, Jun Mohan also received news from the secret guard just after leaving the palace.
He asked: "Where is the person?"
The secret guard said: "I entered Qifeng Restaurant and never came out."
He knew that Pei Lie had found their prince a long time ago, but for some unknown reason he never showed up.
Moreover, Pei Lie had already left Long Yuan Kingdom and returned to Tianqi.
Jun Mohan had already sent people to monitor every move of Pei Lie and others, and Pei Lie also knew that he had people following him.
In addition to hiding the news about the crown prince of Tianqi Kingdom, he also hid other things.
Their prince suddenly arrived quietly in Dayuan City, did Pei Lie know?
So, Jun Mohan and Guo Yan also arrived at Qifeng Restaurant.
When I first entered the restaurant, I felt it was overcrowded.
Jun Mohan frowned and said, "With so many people, is this restaurant famous in Dayuan City?"
Guo Yan glanced at the door plaque and said: "The princess once asked her subordinates to check this restaurant because Narcissus and the others took Cui Xiaoniang out of the house and worked as a cook here. Their business was not that good at that time."
"However, since Cui Xiaoniang's pastries were sold, their business has suddenly improved." Guo Yan added, "I'll ask what's going on."
After a while, he came back and said: "It turns out that these people are all waiting for Cui Xiaoniang's cakes. There is news that cakes will be delivered today."
Jun Mohan was also stunned for a moment and murmured: "Fei'er's cooking skills are so good?"
Guo Yan also praised: "It's very good. Cui Xiaoniang cooks delicious food for the prince every day. Didn't you even say a word about how delicious it is when you eat it?"
"I thought it was Aunt Cui." He said, and since he was so busy, he would only go home to eat when Mu Lingwei was at home.
During this period, he had not had a meal in the palace for a long time.
Guo Yan added: "Fortunately she didn't hear it, otherwise she would be so sad!"
"Young master, go find a secluded table. Just now I watched her making snacks, but I didn't even try a piece." Jun Mohan also suddenly became interested.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wu Jing, dressed in red like fire, appeared again and said: "What a coincidence, Your Majesty."
Guo Yan complained: What coincidence? He is following my prince like a fly.
Jun Mohan also nodded politely and glanced at the people in the restaurant. With so many people, if he and Wu Jing were seen entering and leaving such a place together, the "fire" would probably spread more and more intensely.
It was really a headache. He had to think of a way to stop Wu Jing from following him. If she followed him to Yunyue Kingdom, Wei'er would really misunderstand her if she saw it.
So, he turned around and left the restaurant, got on his carriage, and said in a deep voice: "I still have official business to deal with, so I'll take my leave."
"Whether the prince is going back to the military camp or to the Yamen, please give me a ride." Wu Jing was very shameless.
At this time, a joking voice came from Qifeng Ju, "Tsk, tsk, men are really afraid of being entangled, and women are afraid of grinding. Prince Anyang is so romantic!"
