"County Lady, the capital city is indeed prosperous. If Yu Lan Xuan opens a branch in the capital city, I think the business will be very good."
The maid Qiao'er looked at the shops on both sides of the street with her eyes wide open, and whispered excitedly in Xu Yulan's ear, "The people in the capital all wear fine materials and are all wealthy. When our Yulanxuan comes to the capital, it will definitely be packed."
Xu Yulan frowned and flicked her forehead. "If business was this good, Luyuan Qionglou would have come to the capital long ago. Haven't you seen that there are specialty restaurants everywhere? The competition is quite fierce. Moreover, this is a place full of powerful people. How many of these companies are owned by powerful people? What advantages do you think our Xu family has? We have to be careful in what we say and do in the capital. If we are not careful, we will offend the powerful."
Qiao'er quickly shut her mouth when she heard this. Fortunately, she spoke softly. If the imperial guards had heard it, they would have laughed at her for being ignorant.
Now that her young lady is the Princess of Yunlan County, her words and actions represent her master, and she must not embarrass the young lady.
"Miss, I understand. I was just thinking too simply."
Xu Yulan added, "When we get to the palace, we must be more careful. The palace rules..."
Xu Yulan turned to Su Yun outside the window and whispered, "Go to the front and stop the carriage, and let Nie Ying get off."
"yes."
Xu Yulan realized that she was now entering the palace with a large amount of belongings and an accompanying group of people, which seemed to be against the rules.
Why do I feel like I'm going to my sister's house to ask for money?
And not everyone can go to the palace.
Baili Xuanlang saw the convoy stop and rode forward. He heard what Xu Yulan said to Nie Ying and hurriedly said, "County Lady Yunlan, I will take care of these belongings and the accompanying people. You can go to the palace to see the Emperor and Empress without worry."
Xu Yulan was very confident in handing the matter over to Baili Xuanlang and was about to agree when she heard Nie Ying say, "County Lady Yunlan, there's no need to trouble Master Baili. The Emperor has already made arrangements. Once we arrive in the Imperial City, someone will be there to properly take care of these matters. You can just follow me into the palace without any worries."
The emperor has repeatedly instructed that the things brought by the county lady should be taken to Prince Fu's palace as dowry.
How can we let Master Baili take him away now?
"Guard Nie is not a problem. This is a piece of cake for this young master." Baili Xuanlang tilted his head to look at Xu Yulan in the carriage. "County Lady Yunlan, let me take care of these, okay?"
"County Lady." Nie Ying hurriedly spoke up to stop her. "This is the Emperor's order. He told me to make proper arrangements for my duties. The Empress also wants to keep the County Lady in the palace for a while. You may need these belongings."
Living in the palace?
Baili Xuanlang's mind moved slightly. Does that mean he will come to the palace to pick someone up on the day of the wedding?
If that’s the case, that would be great!
"Master Lang, it's Guard Nie's duty, so I won't bother you..."
"Uncle." At this time, Su Ning'an's voice came from the front.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Fu."
"No need to be polite." Su Ning'an walked quickly to the car window and smiled sweetly at Xu Yulan, "Sister Yulan, oh no, Aunt Yulan, it's been a long time since we last met. You are getting prettier and prettier."
"Brother An, long time no see. You've grown taller and become more and more sweet." Xu Yulan reached out and pinched Su Ning'an's cheek lovingly. "Look, your little face has also gained weight. Are you having a good time in Beijing these days?"
"Hehe..." Su Ning'an pinched her cheek and smiled, "Of course I'm happy that you've come to the capital. It's getting late, so I'll take my uncle out first. You should hurry into the palace, my mother is waiting anxiously."
After Su Ning'an finished speaking, he pulled Baili Xuanlang and hurriedly headed towards Jintai Building, which was three hundred meters ahead.
Xu Yulan followed the lead, and as the carriage approached Jintai Building, Xu Yulan quickly saw two women standing by the window on the third floor facing the street.
One of them was Baili Qingluan, who was smiling and greeting her.
Xu Yulan nodded in response. The carriage passed for a long time and Baili Qingluan was no longer in sight, so Xu Yulan lowered the curtain.
"Qingluan, is that the Yunlan County Master Xu Yulan?" Gu Yunshu asked.
"It's her. I haven't seen her for a long time. Looking at her face today, I can't see any trace of fatigue from traveling. Her complexion is more rosy than when she was at the Huayang County Princess's Mansion. She looks a little more delicate and her makeup is also very delicate."
Gu Yunshu smiled and asked, "Who did Ange go downstairs to look for just now?"
"My brother Xuan Lang."
"That's right. Your Xuanlang is the one who escorted County Lady Yunlan all the way to the capital. County Lady Yunlan's makeup must be more exquisite. For her..."
Before he could finish his words, the door was pushed open and Su Ning'an pulled Baili Xuanlang in. "Mother, I have captured my uncle."
"Eldest sister." Baili Qingluan called out obediently when she saw a stranger. "I'm back."
Baili Qingluan looked Baili Xuanlang up and down. "Have you been having a good time in Xishui County these days?"
"Not bad." Baili Xuanlang scratched his head and glanced at Gu Yunshu. He saw that he was about the same age as Xu Yulan, but he looked somewhat familiar. "Elder sister, why don't you introduce me to this girl? Who is she?"
"This is Gu Yunshu, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, the richest family in Beijing and the owner of Jintai Tower. She is also An Ge'er's mistress and the Princess of Dehe."
"Meet Princess Dehe."
How come she is Ang'er's mistress?
Although Baili Xuanlang was confused, he had to be polite when meeting someone first.
"Quickly, no need to be so polite. I'm not the Princess of Dehe yet, so I don't need so many formalities."
Gu Yunshu then said to Baili Qingluan, "I'm going to check the accounts. You two can chat here. We'll have lunch together in half an hour."
After Gu Yunshu left, Baili Xuanlang threw out all the questions in his mind.
"Angel, come and talk to him."
Su Ning'an concealed the fact that Gu Yunshu was Shangguan Ruian, and told Baili Xuanlang roughly what happened in Beijing.
Baili Xuanlang took a long time to recover from his shock. "It turns out that the creator of the seal, Dongfang Yinzhang, is actually the eldest son of Emperor Beiyi Jingchen. He actually planned so much for An Ge'er's adoptive father, giving up the throne to support An Ge'er's adoptive father. It seems that he is very fond of Empress Fu'an. A man as loyal as him should not and cannot marry Gu Yunshu."
Baili Qingluan said, "We can't let Prince Dehe die alone. Queen Fu'an probably wants someone who understands him and keeps him company. Miss Gu is a good choice. We all like her."
An Ge'er didn't mention Gu Yunshu's true identity, so she naturally couldn't tell it either.
After all, the idea of resurrection is too unbelievable, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Baili Xuanlang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. If he and Xu Yulan couldn't be together for some reason, he hoped that there would be someone by her side to accompany her and protect him. "Eldest sister, what you said makes sense."
