Lu Xiaoyun propped her forehead with one hand and rubbed her temples: "You and Li Feng go together and buy several sets, such as inner garments, outer garments, bibs, shoes and socks, hairpins and the like. In short, buy as much as a young lady needs. If you don't have enough money, have them settle the bill at the Prince An's residence."
"The colors shouldn't be too bright; keep them simple and elegant. Buy a few more bolts of fabric and have the embroiderers in the manor take measurements and make a few more outfits for the Princess. Also, make a few outfits for Li Feng as well."
Jiang Chuan was stunned.
Holding the silver notes, he walked towards Feixue Garden. It was strange. Wasn't the prince always fighting on the Northwest battlefield? How could he know so much?
Matching certain colors with certain jewelry is not a set thing.
Blue and purple cannot be placed side by side, yellow and white cannot be placed shoulder to shoulder.
Purple is the bone, green is the sinew, and when paired with red and yellow, they become even more vibrant. Red is indistinct without green, and purple is indistinct without yellow.
He was completely confused by what he heard.
However, what Jiang Chuan didn't know was that Li Feng was in a state of extreme fear at this moment, even though the young lady told her not to be afraid.
But that's His Highness Prince An! When he gets angry, who isn't afraid? He even killed Miss Yong'an's maid without hesitation.
When Jiang Chuan entered Feixue Garden, he saw Li Feng sitting in front of the house with a look of horror on his face, as if he were a wooden statue. His face was as pale as paper, and he was muttering something to himself with his head down.
Jiang Chuan stepped forward and patted her shoulder: "Hey, why aren't you serving the Princess in your room? What are you doing here? I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Feng saw that Jiang Chuan had just left, so why was he here again so soon after arriving at the Prince's side? He was so frightened that he trembled violently and knelt down with a thud: "Jiang, Jiang, Lord Jiang, is it, did the Prince send you to kill me?"
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on Miss and the Prince's conversation, I really didn't mean to! Please, Your Highness, don't kill me! Waaah, I don't want to die! If I die, my Miss is finished too! Waaah..."
Jiang Chuan: "..."
It is indeed strange that the prince did not kill Li Feng, who was so bold this time.
Jiang Chuan helplessly pulled her up: "Get up first. The prince really didn't send me to kill you. The prince is actually a good person. He wouldn't punish his servants for no reason."
Li Feng looked at Jiang Chuan with teary eyes, wanting to ask: Lord Jiang, do you even believe what you're saying? Who is the "Number One Demon King" in Shengjing City?
Whose handiwork were those dozens of coffins transported back from the Northwest battlefield two months ago?
And who is that guy who kills a whole bunch of people at once?
Who ordered the killing of the maid who died an hour ago?
She was just a lowly maid; for the prince to kill her would be easier than crushing an ant.
"The prince asked you to come with me to buy some clothes for the princess, not to kill you."
Li Feng looked at him in disbelief: "Really, really, you didn't trick me into going outside and then kill me?"
Jiang Chuan: "..." If the prince wanted to kill you, was it necessary to go through all this trouble? He could have just taken a knife and chopped you off. Why bother with all that fuss?
Hearing their conversation from inside the house, Zhu Yu thought to himself that Lu Xiaoyun still had some conscience. He opened the door and said to Li Feng, "You go with her, but don't let him handle your undergarments."
Jiang Chuan touched his nose, thinking about what he had said.
When Li Feng realized that Jiang Chuan hadn't come to kill her on the prince's orders, she immediately felt relieved, wiped away her tears, and happily followed Jiang Chuan out the door.
The whole afternoon passed without incident. During this time, Physician Jiang came over to examine Zhu Yu's injuries and instructed someone to prepare some medicine. After drinking the medicine, Zhu Yu fell asleep.
Lu Xiaoyun, on the other hand, ordered someone to bring over several books from the library about the intricate relationships between the major families in Shengjing City, and spent the entire afternoon reading in her study.
After hearing what Zhang Mama had reported, Consort Duan in Yunmei Garden was so angry that she smashed things all over the room and cursed loudly for the entire afternoon.
The patrolling guards outside Yunmei Garden pretended not to hear.
When it was time for dinner, Lu Xiaoyun went to Feixue Garden to eat with Zhu Yu as usual.
When she got inside and saw the enormous bed, which was more than two meters wide, Lu Xiaoyun's lips twitched violently.
Jiang Chuan knows how to have sex.
Nothing happened that night, and even Feng Yan didn't send any new news.
The next day, Feng Yan did not return until Chen Shi (7-9 AM).
In Yunmei Garden, while tidying up Consort Duan's hair, Zhang Mama carefully asked, "Your Highness, should I go and tell the Prince that he should also go to the palace with you to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor? The Prince's injuries have almost healed, and it is time for him to go to the palace to express his gratitude to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."
Consort Duan snorted coldly and waved her hand, saying, "No need. Yu'er is so badly injured, and apart from ordering Imperial Physician Jiang to come to his residence to treat him and send some medicine, the Emperor hasn't even come out of the palace to see him in person. Ha, Yu'er is also his son, but what about him? In his eyes and heart, only the Crown Prince is his son!"
"If that's the case, why bother with a harem? Wouldn't it be better to just keep the Empress as his only woman? If she dies, he can be a widow for her! Yu'er was injured and his life was hanging by a thread this time, wasn't it all for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, for his secure throne? How could he be so heartless as to disregard Yu'er's life or death? Why should Yu'er..."
Consort Duan's voice grew louder and louder. The guards in a corner outside the room frowned upon hearing this; they had heard these words countless times in the past few days.
I wish I were deaf.
"Your Highness!" Zhang Mama's face turned deathly pale. She was so frightened that she hurriedly interrupted Consort Duan. She dared not listen to Consort Duan's words again.
Consort Duan glanced at her: "You've become too timid these days. What are you afraid of? This is the Prince An's residence. Do you think it's some territory where any dog or cat can spread any kind of news?"
She pointed outside and said, "Didn't you see that there are many more guards around Yunmei Garden? With them here, are you afraid that what's going on in this courtyard will reach the ears of the Emperor and that old hag, the Empress Dowager?"
Zhang Mama trembled slightly, not daring to respond to Consort Duan's words. These people are ostensibly protecting you, but in reality, they're spying on you. Your Highness, how can you be so ignorant of your own son?
Consort Duan glared at her unhappily: "Alright, alright, order someone to prepare the carriage."
Half an hour later, everything was ready, and Consort Duan led a large entourage to the palace.
Watching the carriage drive away, Yuan Xiu asked the gatekeeper, "Where is Consort Duan going?"
The gatekeeper replied, "Reporting to the head steward, I just heard from Granny Zhang that we are going to the palace to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager."
"Entering the palace? Was it the Emperor or the Empress Dowager who issued the decree for the Consort to enter the palace?" How come he hadn't received any news? If someone from the palace had come to Prince An's residence, he, as the steward, couldn't possibly not have known.
The gatekeeper shook his head: "This servant doesn't know either. Perhaps it was decided on the day Her Highness left the palace."
What day of the month is it today?
"The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month".
"Does Your Highness know that the Empress has entered the palace?"
The gatekeeper shook his head: "He probably doesn't know. This servant didn't see the Prince come out to see the Empress off."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiu hurriedly went to the main courtyard to see "Prince An".
