"Oh?" Zhao Yunzhu was a little confused.

The eunuch quickly spoke up to explain, "Concubine Yun, Lord Wang has made great contributions this time, and Miss Wang has been of great help in the riverbank incident. The people have asked for mercy on Miss Wang's behalf. When the Queen Mother learned of this, she summoned Miss Wang to meet her and asked her what reward she would like. But Miss Wang admitted that she had never been to Chang'an and wanted to take a good stroll around Chang'an so that she could gain some experience when she returned."

How could a eunuch working in the palace have any different plans from Miss Wang's? But these were not things that a eunuch like him could interfere with?

It's really a fight between the greats, but the ones who suffer are the little guys like them.

Concubine Yun is now the favorite of Prince An. How could she dare to offend her? She could only be extremely careful. "Concubine Yun, this is what the Queen Mother wants."

"I understand, thank you for your help, sir."

Zhao Yunzhu had no intention of making things difficult for the eunuch, so the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief.

He ordered someone to send the eunuch away.

"I never thought I would have the chance to see Concubine Yun again."

Wang Minxu bowed, with a hint of contempt in the smile at the corner of his lips.

Zhao Yunzhu glanced at them indifferently. She had seen the Wang family's faces before, but she didn't expect that Wang Min would come again.

"Yes, I didn't expect that Miss Wang would be so stubborn and sticky that I can't get rid of her no matter what."

Zhao Yunzhu sneered, "Miss Wang, there's no one else here, so why don't we just stop pretending and talk openly?"

Wang Min smiled faintly. This time when she came to Chang'an, she had changed a lot and was no longer the Wang Min of the past.

She has loving parents behind her and the Wang family who are planning for her. She will definitely get what she wants.

But what about Zhao Yunzhu? What can she rely on?

Apart from Prince An's favor, what else can she rely on?

As long as she can keep her composure, won't the position of Princess An be hers?

"Concubine Yun, I was young and ignorant before, and I have offended many people. I hope Concubine Yun can forgive the past."

Wang Min lowered her eyes, full of apology. "This time, the Queen Mother summoned me to Chang'an, wanting to give me a reward. I have no other request, I just want to have a good stroll around Chang'an. I'm afraid I won't have such an opportunity again in the future."

"I only know Concubine Yun in Chang'an, so I have the audacity to come and bother you. I hope Concubine Yun won't dislike me."

Wang Min spoke very nicely.

Since she was unwilling to tell the truth, Zhao Yunzhu was too lazy to continue dealing with her. "Steward, take Miss Wang down to her place. This concubine will not accompany her."

Zhao Yunzhu found an excuse and retreated first.

Wang Min did not stop her, but bowed and respectfully saw her off.

Only half a day later, Linglong came forward with a look of resentment on her face, "Miss!"

"What's wrong? Look how angry you are."

Zhao Yunzhu raised her hand and pinched Linglong's cheek.

Linglong sighed, thinking of what she had just seen, and her eyes became more angry. "Miss, the palace sent quite a few rewards to that person."

Linglong gestured with her hand, "Miss, you didn't see it? It's such a big box of pearls, and there are also many jewelry and silks and satins."

"Oh, and there's lots of gold and silver!"

Linglong was filled with resentment. Miss Wang lived in Prince An's Mansion, and there were already some gossips outside.

Now that the Queen Mother has sent so many rewards, what will outsiders think? I'm afraid they will mistake Miss Wang for Princess An!

Miss Wang from the Wang family is so shameless!

Linglong cursed secretly in her heart. After all, she didn't want her young lady to hear these bad things.

"Look how angry you are, is it really that serious?"

Zhao Yunzhu was helpless. Linglong pursed her lips and complained, "Miss, I don't know how this will spread outside. I'm worried that this will cause misunderstandings between you and the prince."

Zhao Yunzhu raised her hand and tapped Linglong on the forehead twice. "Don't worry about it. Just let it go."

…

A young girl moved into Prince An's mansion, and Empress Dowager Liu also sent a lot of rewards.

Everyone outside is discussing the background of this girl. I'm afraid the imperial decree granting her marriage will be delivered soon.

In the past, everyone thought that Zhao Yunzhu would be able to take the position of Princess An in the future, but now it seems that this girl will snatch it away.

Qin Zongzhi was ordered to go outside the city for inspection today. When he returned home, it was already dark.

Regarding Miss Wang coming to Chang'an and moving into the palace.

Prince An still doesn't know.

"Your Majesty—"

The servant stepped forward quickly and took the reins from the prince.

Prince An keenly sensed the strange atmosphere in the palace and asked, "What happened in the palace today?"

"Empress Dowager Liu allowed Miss Wang to live in the palace and also gave her many rewards."

Qin Zongzhi frowned, and the servant told him the rumors outside one by one.

Prince An then realized that it was Wang Min who came to Chang'an.

He hurried to Zhao Yunzhu's yard.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw her with one hand supporting her chin on the table and the other hand holding a dagger to pick up the candle wick.

"I heard Miss Wang is here?"

Qin Zongzhi entered the house, took off his coat, and warmed himself in front of the charcoal fire. He waited until the coldness on his body had almost dissipated before he came forward.

There was a hint of caution in her tone. "I don't know anything about this. Don't worry. I'll go to the palace tomorrow and have the Queen Mother take her away. No matter where she's taken, it has nothing to do with us!"

"It's just a few days' stay, that's all, don't bother."

Zhao Yunzhu put down the short knife in his hand, looked at him solemnly and said,

She spoke generously, but they were well aware of the variables involved.

Even if Prince An had a dispute with the Queen Mother over this, what would it matter? Wouldn't the Queen Mother embarrass her in other ways?

She already knew Wang Min's thoughts and character.

Keeping it by your side and under your nose, nothing will go wrong.

If it is really sent out, it will be difficult to guard against anything that happens.

Even though the matter was over, the two of them tacitly agreed that Wang Min would temporarily live in Prince An's Mansion.

Qin Zongzhi also transferred some strong and powerful maids to Zhao Yunzhu's courtyard, and warned everyone in the mansion to keep a close eye on Miss Wang and protect Concubine Yun.

Wang Min lived in Prince An's mansion for two days and knew that Prince An did not want her to get close to Zhao Yunzhu.

She never came close to Zhao Yunzhu, but only sent her maid to pay her respects on her behalf every day.

The rest of the time, Wang Min stayed in his own yard.

Three days passed in peace, with Prince An leaving early and returning late.

He has never seen Wang Min since she moved into Prince An's Mansion.

On this day, lights were hung in the corridors.

The night was dark, and Qin Zongzhi returned home exhausted on his horse.

He dismounted and walked quickly into the palace.

But when he was walking towards the corridor in the inner courtyard, he saw Wang Min wandering under the corridor in a green dress.

Because this was the only way leading to the inner house, Qin Zongzhi had no choice but to avoid it.

You can only move forward bravely.

Wang Min heard hurried footsteps behind her, turned around and saw the young man she had been waiting for.

With a deep smile on her face, she arched her brows, bowed respectfully, and said softly, "The prince is back."
