"Your Highness, do you want to go for a walk?" the eunuch asked in a low voice as he walked over with Wen Tianyao's cloak in his hands.
There was a pile of scrolls on the writing desk which were given to Wen Tianyao by the Emperor. The scrolls had been reviewed and verified. The Emperor wanted Wen Tianyao to write his thoughts after reading the scrolls and send them back to him.
Wen Tianyao really lived up to his reputation as the Crown Prince.
"A walk..." Wen Tianyao looked at the pile of scrolls on the desk, then looked at the sky. After hesitating for a moment, he blurted, "I won't go today."
Usually, at this time, he would go for a walk to put his mind at ease, but he was exceptionally tired today.
It wasn't just about the issue of the scrolls. The most important thing was that he couldn't figure out what Yan Huaijing had up his sleeve. Father Emperor intended to let him deal with the four heirs-apparent.
Seeing Wei Qiufu turn to a rockery and look up, Wei Yuewu asked in surprise just as she lifted her skirt and was about to go up, "Fourth Elder Sister, a-are you sure you want to go up?"This rockery was not big. The curved path leading to the top was only wide enough to fit one person."I-I'm curious!" Wei Qiufu instantly smiled when she saw that Wei Yuewu noticed her and knew that she was acting a little too bizarrely. Could it be that Wei Fengyao's intelligence was wrong?Shouldn't the Crown Prince come to the Orchid Courtyard at this hour? Could it be that he was occupied today?Wei Qiufu was full of doubts, but she restrained herself from exposing her thoughts to Wei Yuewu. However, realizing that Wen Tianyao would not come today, she felt dejected."Sixth Younger Sister, I am tired today. Let's go back and rest.""Now?" Wei Yuewu looked around and seemed to be reluctant to leave. "Let's hang ou
It was dark outside the window. Previously, Wei Yuewu and Jin Ling didn't notice it as candles were lit inside both rooms. The two rooms did not directly face each other, but now that the candles in Wei Yuewu's room were blown out, they could clearly see the brightly lit candles in Wei Qiufu's room through the patio.To their surprise, Wei Qiufu was still awake at this hour."Miss, do you want me to secretly take a look?" Jin Ling sat up and asked."No! This is the imperial palace. There might be someone hiding in the dark." Wei Yuewu shook her head and closed her eyes. She was probably Wei Qiufu's least concerned person for the time being.Moreover, she had to find an opportunity to put the paper in her hand back into Wei Qiufu's writing brush washer. Since someone had been paying attention to the two rooms, they should know that the two of them had moved in.She must hurry and put the paper back to its place b
"Miss, are you alright?" Jin Ling's anxious voice came from outside the sedan.Wei Yuewu composed herself and quipped, "I'm fine. Go and see what happened."Such an accident happened too abruptly, but Wei Yuewu managed to hold still as she was at the end of the convoy. The sedans in front of her must have bumped into each other.The palace paths were crisscrossed. The convoy that Wei Yuewu was in advanced slowly on the widest path, but they could not avoid the convoy that was coming from another small path. The latter appeared too abruptly that the sedan at the front could not react in time and crashed into it.Although the eunuchs, who were carrying the sedan behind them, witnessed the crash and had stopped in a hurry, the young ladies rolled out of the sedan due to the inertia.The young ladies who sat at the two sedans behind the first sedan also fell out. All of a sudden, shrill screams echoed around, maids
Wen Yuewu had placed her handkerchief casually on the table because she was massaging her legs earlier, while Wei Qiufu was sitting on the other side of the table.Coincidentally, Wei Qiufu put her handkerchief on the table too, and the two handkerchiefs were strangely mixed together.Wei Yuewu had always paid close attention to Wei Qiufu's movements, so when she saw Wei Qiufu's hand on her handkerchief, a trace of coldness flashed across her dim eyes, but she turned her face away as if nothing had happened and continued to massage her legs.After that, the Third Princess stood up again. Wei Yuewu casually picked up the handkerchief on the table and followed everyone into the main hall. This time, Wei Qiufu waited until everyone moved forward before passing the handkerchief to Ming Yan and glancing outside. Nodding knowingly, Ming Yan hid the handkerchief in her sleeve and quietly left.Outside the side hall's door, Wei Feng
"I wonder which beauty Heir-apparent of Yan is interested in?" Qi Yunhao looked at the ladies below.Lu Yeli also stopped and looked thoughtfully at the people below the steps.Chu Fangnan looked even more nervous.If Yan Huaijing was interested in a certain young lady of an aristocratic family, did it mean that he had decided which princess he wanted to marry?"The woman I like is naturally the most outstanding one!" Yan Huaijing quipped leisurely as he walked down the stairs lazily, as if he did not know that his remark caused a huge uproar.At this time, Wei Yuewu and Wei Qiufu had already disappeared, and even the Third Princess had left far away.Only five or six young ladies were left at the scene.Lu Yeli's gaze swept over the few ladies below the steps and paused on their faces for a moment. Eventually, he frowned as he felt that none of these ladies fit the outstanding criteria
The palace was not big, but it was empty. As the palace maid pushed the heavy door open, the layers of curtains in the main hall fluttered.Then, she brought Wei Yuewu to the innermost area. "Young miss, please wait here for a moment. I will go get it right away!"With a nod, Wei Yuewu turned and looked at the palace she was in. Layers of palace curtains hung in the small place, and all she could see was the tiny space in front of her. There seemed to be only a chair behind the half-folded screen at the corner of the palace.Seeing Wei Yuewu agree, the palace maid secretly grinned, a trace of satisfaction flashing across her face. The Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan'an had said that her only job was to bring Sixth Miss Wei to the screen of this empty palace, and the rest was none of her business."Wait a minute!" Wei Yuewu suddenly called out to the palace maid."Y-Yes? W-What is it, Miss?" Due to her ulterior mo
"Which mansion are you from?" The eunuch screamed and stopped Jin Ling."Who are you?" Jin Ling asked with a frown."It's none of your business. Just tell me which mansion you're from. How can you run around in the imperial palace?! You're so unruly," the eunuch raised his neck and snorted coldly."I-I am from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang!" Jin Ling's gaze passed through the eunuch and landed on Wei Yuewu, who was peeking out of the rockery. Seeing Wei Yuewu nod at her and point at the lake beside the rockery, Jin Ling immediately understood her.Marquis Hua Yang? The eunuch was taken aback upon the mention of the name. Everyone in the imperial palace knew that the Emperor deeply trusted Marquis Hua Yang. If she was his maid, it would become a handful."Sir, is there anything I can help you with? Did you see my young lady?" Jin Ling looked around, her face a little agitated. She walked past the eunuch and wen
"What should we do?" Looking in the direction of the incident, Wei Yuewu subconsciously reached out to grab Yan Huaijing's robe and asked with a pale face.Wei Yuewu was always so feisty and lively, but at this moment, Yan Huaijing was cheesed off with her fragile look.Putting Wei Yuewu down, he fumed, "What are you doing there?" His face turned cold, and his expression was rather fierce."I..." Wei Yuewu blinked her eyes, unable to come back to her senses. For a moment, she did not understand what he meant by the question."How can you go to that place?" Yan Huaijing snorted coldly as he lightly flicked Wei Yuewu's forehead with his slender fingers."I... I didn't go there on my own. By the way, where is Jin Ling?" The pain on her forehead woke her up. She grabbed Yan Huaijing's hand and probed anxiously.There were countless bodyguards just now. Even if Jin Ling was adept at martial arts, she mig
