Ji Xingzhi walked all the way to Fengling Palace. The two palaces were close to each other, so it didn't take long for them to arrive.
The guard at the gate of Fengling Palace saw Ji Xingzhi from afar and lowered his head slightly and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Ji Xingzhi gradually approached and nodded slightly, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
Then he walked into Fengling Palace.
After searching around Fengling Palace, he couldn't find Ji Ruhua and Luo Bai, so he had no choice but to ask a palace maid.
"Your Majesty, the princess has gone to the imperial garden." The maid replied respectfully.
Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly and continued, "Where's the princess? Is she with the princess?"
The maid lowered her head slightly and thought for a moment before saying, "I just saw the princess heading towards the West Palace. She must be going to look for Miss He."
Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this: "Yes. Back off."
The palace maid bowed and saluted, then took a few steps back before turning and leaving.
There are five large palaces in the Lizhou Imperial Palace, namely East, South, West, North and Main, and there are many other palaces inside the large palaces.
For example, the main palace is Shaohua Palace where Ji Xingzhi lives, Fengling Palace where Ji Ruhua lives, and Longxiang Palace where Ji Jiangxin lives. These three palaces have always been inhabited by the emperor, empress and prince, and they represent the heart of power.
The East Palace is where the Zhaosheng Hall is located. In addition to the Zhaosheng Hall, there are some other palaces, which are mainly used to hold celebrations, state banquets, discuss national affairs, meet envoys from other countries, etc.
Nangong is used to receive distinguished guests and is equivalent to a guest room.
The West Palace was the residence of the emperor's concubines, sons, and daughters.
Beigong is where the palace people gather, and they mainly do miscellaneous tasks there, such as washing clothes and cooking.
In addition, there are two special places in Beigong. One is the Mozhu Palace where no one has lived for a long time, and the other is the Shaosi Mansion, which is responsible for palace punishments. Anyone who makes a mistake in the palace, whether it is a palace maid, eunuch, or royal relative, will be dealt with by the Shaosi Mansion.
Thinking that He Wan actually lived in the West Palace, he couldn't help but frown and asked the eunuch, "Did you arrange He Wan's residence?"
Upon hearing this, the eunuch shook his head and said, "No. When Miss He was sent to the palace that day, she met the princess. It must have been the princess who arranged this for Miss He."
Ji Ruhua? Ji Xingzhi touched his chin. Why did Ji Ruhua send her to the West Palace? Thinking of this, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but whispered, "Doesn't she know that it's where concubines and concubines to be selected live?"
The eunuch heard Ji Xingzhi's words, which seemed to be talking to herself, and suddenly smiled faintly: "Perhaps the princess arranged for him to go to the West Palace because she knew this."
Ji Xingzhi thought about it and realized that Ji Ruhua had lived in the palace for many years. As the future queen, it was impossible for her not to know this common sense.
So, there is only one possibility for Ji Ruhua to arrange He Wan to go to the West Palace. She thought she really fell in love with He Wan at first sight and wanted to marry He Wan.
After thinking about it, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but hold her forehead. She had to find a way to find a home for He Wan. It was impossible for her to really marry him. Although she could use her young age as an excuse to not mention marriage, that would still delay him. After all, He Wan was her savior.
"Eunuch, are there any unmarried men with good temperament and good looks in the palace?" Ji Xingzhi suddenly asked.
The eunuch was puzzled at first, but then he smiled and said, "There are many men like this in the palace, but I don't know if they can catch Miss He's eye."
Ji Xingzhi's lips curled slightly: "Since He Wan insisted on staying in the Regent Palace and didn't want to return to the southwest, she must not be stupid. She should know how to choose."
It's either second best or nothing.
