Upon hearing this, Concubine De excitedly put down the melon seeds in her hand.
"Let someone in quickly."
The second prince first took Du Shuyan to Concubine De's bedroom, but he didn't meet anyone. He knew without thinking that his mother must have come to see Concubine Xian, so he came here.
"Second Prince, Miss Du, please come in."
Du Shuyan adjusted her dress nervously. The Second Prince noticed her nervousness and raised his hand to pinch her palm to comfort her.
"Don't be nervous, my mother is very easy to get along with."
The two walked side by side into Empress Xian's bedroom, where they saw several ladies sitting at a round wooden table with delicate fruits, snacks, and a few stuffed dolls on it.
Seeing the two people come in, their eyes fell on them.
"Meet the mother and the ladies."
"This humble servant has greeted several ladies."
Concubine De ignored the second prince and walked forward to look at Du Shuyan.
She was wearing a plain dress, had a slim figure, and her jet-black hair was combed into a single bun with a simple hairpin inserted in the bun.
At this moment, she bowed her head slightly, revealing her fair neck.
Du Shuyan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but still maintained the posture of greeting.
"Miss Du, there's no need to be so polite," Concubine De raised her hand to help Du Shuyan up, and patted her hand gently, "Come and sit with me."
After pulling Du Shuyan to sit down, Concubine De began to look at her appearance seriously.
Her eyes were charming and seductive, as if they could speak, attracting everyone's attention. She had a straight nose, full red lips, and skin as white as jade, but with a faint blush on it.
Realizing that she had stared for too long and made the other person shy, Concubine De withdrew her gaze, feeling extremely happy.
I didn't expect that this brat had such good taste. As a woman, he liked Miss Du's looks, but she was dressed too plainly, which didn't match her bright and charming appearance.
She raised her hand, took off the golden hairpin on her head and put it on Du Shuyan's head.
"Miss Du, at such a young age, is too plainly dressed. I will take you to my palace to choose carefully."
"Mother, please don't scare Yan'er."
Seeing that Concubine De had completely forgotten about him, the Second Prince quickly spoke.
"I thank Her Majesty, Consort De, but this item is too valuable and I cannot accept it."
Du Shuyan didn't expect Concubine De to be so enthusiastic, and was a little at a loss for the moment.
Before coming, she specifically inquired about Concubine De, and everyone said that Concubine De was dignified, generous, kind and gentle.
So she subconsciously thought that Concubine De would ask about her family background first, but she didn't expect that she would act in such an unconventional way.
"Hua Rui, serve tea to Miss Du."
[Aunt Defei's eyes are almost falling on Shuyan. Please restrain yourself. Your dignified and generous personality is falling apart.]
Huarui brought the tea over and handed it to Du Shuyan, then stepped aside.
"Thank you, Empress Xian."
Du Shuyan thanked him gently and took a sip of the tea.
"Miss Du, there's no need to be so reserved."
"Yes," Concubine Shu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and placed them in front of Du Shuyan, "Eat melon seeds."
Seeing this, Concubine De glanced at the Second Prince and said, "What are you still standing there for? Peel it off."
No tact at all.
[Hahaha, Auntie Defei looks at me with such disdain. No matter how thick-skinned Second Prince is, he can't stand you guys like this.]
"Hua Rui, why don't you give the Second Prince an extra chair next to Miss Du?"
[My mother has also learned bad habits. Why is she still joining in the fun?]
Hua Rui smiled and turned around to move a chair over. The second prince hesitated for a while and finally sat down next to Du Shuyan, peeling melon seeds for her seriously.
"What's Miss Du's name?" Defei asked softly.
"Du Shuyan."
"That's a good name. If this brat hadn't told me before, I would have summoned you, Shuyan, to the palace long ago."
As Concubine De spoke, she glanced at the Second Prince, but when she looked at Shuyan, she became especially gentle.
"This brat is probably afraid that I'll pick on you, thinking I'm some pedantic person."
Du Shuyan quickly shook her head, "Your Majesty, you are kind and gentle, how could you find fault with me?"
Defei was so warm to her, and she could feel the kindness in it.
I'm not saying this to flatter you, but from the heart.
"Sister Defei, the Emperor will probably come to pick up Luo'er later. Why don't you take Miss Du and the Second Prince back to the palace first?"
The second prince did not hear the hidden meaning of Concubine Xian's words and explained with a smile.
"Father has already known about this. Not only that, but even my fourth brother and the others..."
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, the second prince quickly shut up, feeling so annoyed that he wanted to slap himself twice.
"Second brother, you're such a sly leaker! The tyrant didn't even tell the harem about your affair, but you, on the other hand, betrayed them all directly."
"I see. You must have done this on purpose. You wanted to see your mother embarrass the Third Prince. You're such a scheming person! You'd do anything to get married before the Third Prince."
The Second Prince, who was originally a little annoyed, suddenly brightened up his eyes when he heard Yu Yiluo's voice.
Yes, Fourth Brother has already inquired about it and is not in a hurry to get married.
There was only his third brother and cousin, and they were very affectionate. He wanted to ask clearly when they would get married, but his third brother played Tai Chi with him like a cunning man.
The third brother must have done this to get married before him and catch him off guard.
If the Third Prince knew what the Second Prince was thinking at the moment, he would definitely roll his eyes at him.
[Second brother is really good at imagining things. Third and fourth brothers are not in a hurry to get married.]
"The Emperor also knows about this? Then why doesn't he grant you marriage?"
Concubine De looked at the second prince suspiciously.
"Sister Defei, please ask about this later."
Concubine Shu looked at the Second Prince and said, "Second Prince, please finish what you were saying just now. Is there something wrong with the Fourth Prince as well?"
