After the maid finished speaking, it took a long time before Guo Luoluo, who was sitting in the chair, finally made up her mind.
call
“You’re right, the Prince’s job is more important than anything else.”
Lady Guoluo clenched the handkerchief in her hand, thinking to herself that Consort Liang was usually useless, but now that she had caused trouble, she should stand up and help the Prince.
Guo Luoluo frowned. As a woman, she usually stayed in the inner quarters and didn't know much about court affairs, but the task assigned to her by the emperor must be very important.
Their prince's abilities and skills are no less than those of the other princes, so how could they bow their heads and admit defeat?
"Green Ivy, pack my clothes, we're going to the palace now."
Having come up with a solution, Guo Luoluo didn't want to stay in the mansion for even a moment longer.
Over time, things can change rapidly.
With only a few days left before the Prince's mission, she needed to make arrangements for Consort Liang as soon as possible, ensuring that it wouldn't affect the Prince's travel plans.
The maid, called Green Ivy, held the princess's arm and hesitated, "Princess, we just came out of the palace not long ago, and now we have to go back in, so what excuse should we use?"
There are regulations governing the daily entry of princes' wives into the palace; it's not like a marketplace where you can just come and go as you please.
At the very least, one needed to report in advance before visiting high-ranking concubines in the palace.
Otherwise, many carriages entering the palace would be stopped at the palace gate and left disappointed.
Guo Luoluo gritted her teeth and said, "Take out a ginseng root from the storeroom. We'll do it under the pretext of visiting Aunt Yikun Palace."
Anyway, she went to Yikun Palace much more often than Chuxiu Palace.
Besides, if she went there now, given her aunt's temperament, it wouldn't be a problem for her to keep it a secret for herself.
Upon hearing this, Green Ivy nodded, thinking to herself that if Consort Yi was helping, then there would indeed be no problem.
Helping Guo Luoluo into the inner room, Luoluo's hands were busy, serving her as she washed, dressed, and made herself up. When Guo Luoluo came out again, she looked completely refreshed.
The carriages that were supposed to take them to the palace were already waiting at the entrance of the mansion before they even changed their clothes.
Guo Luoluo immediately stopped there.
Before leaving, he asked again about the Eighth Prince's latest situation.
Upon learning that the Eighth Prince had been staying in the front courtyard bookstore since his return, Lady Guoluo sighed, her words filled with heartache. "Luoluo, have someone send some of the soup prepared in the kitchen to the study. It's not good for the prince's health if he doesn't eat or drink."
Green Ivy was obedient, because she also had to accompany her master to the palace on business, so the task of delivering soup to the study in the front courtyard could only be left to the other people in the small courtyard.
"Madam, we should go now."
Time waits for no one; they were there to solve a problem, not to go on a trip.
The sooner you make arrangements, the sooner you can finalize things.
Green Ivy didn't understand those important military and national affairs, but she knew that only when her master was doing well could they have a good life.
"Okay, let's go."
Guo Luoluo got into the carriage and let the driver urge the horses on, and they hurriedly left the Prince's mansion.
...
The news of Guo Luoluo's return to the palace did not alarm anyone else.
This person's favorite thing to do is to go to the palace to pay his respects.
As a woman who wore her ambition on her sleeve, Guo Luoluo's presence was far greater than that of the other princes' wives, even surpassing that of the crown princess who married the crown prince.
This time, Lady Guoluo used the excuse of visiting Consort Yi to enter the palace.
The guards at the gate asked questions but did not stop them; instead, they easily allowed the carriages to pass.
Guo Luoluo arrived at Yikun Palace without incident, startling Consort Yi, who was resting there.
"Why are you coming at this hour, child?"
In a little while, it will be dark.
Consort Yi spoke with concern for her niece who was standing in front of her.
Although Consort Yi didn't particularly like Yin Si because of Yin Tang's affair, as a member of the Guo Luo Luo clan who married Yin Si, she still held a high position in Consort Yi's eyes.
The reason is simple: Guo Luoluo looked very similar to Consort Yi when she was young.
This resemblance is not merely a physical resemblance, but rather a similarity in temperament and manner of handling affairs. Consort Yi saw her younger self reflected in Lady Guoluo, which is why she would unconsciously treat Lady Guoluo better.
Because of this advantage, Guo Luoluo quickly seized the opportunity to gain entry into the inner circle.
The relationship between Guo Luoluo and Consort Yi can now be described as that of a mother and daughter, even closer than that of Ke Jing, who was originally raised by Consort Yi and was also Consort Yi's niece.
Guo Luoluo laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Aunt, I've come here today for two reasons: first, to bring you some things, and second, to ask you for a small favor."
As she spoke, Lady Guoluo handed the box of ginseng she had brought to Consort Yi.
Consort Yi reached out and took it, opened it, and then quickly closed it again.
"Such a generous gift, you really know how to give," the ginseng in the box was fully developed and clearly very valuable.
Guo Luoluo pursed her lips, thinking to herself that what she was about to do was no small matter, and she wouldn't feel at ease unless she used some genuine treasures to win over Consort Yi.
"Tell me, what favor deserves such a generous gift?" Consort Yi raised her eyebrows.
She knew her niece quite well; the fact that she was willing to send a ginseng root worth a thousand gold pieces meant that it must be related to the ailing Consort Liang in the Chuxiu Palace.
As expected, Lady Guoluo smiled and told Consort Yi that she was going to Chuxiu Palace to see Consort Liang.
“My niece came to the palace this time under the pretext of visiting her aunt,” so she must have to sneak over to the Chuxiu Palace next door.
Yi Fei:......
"Is there a problem at Chuxiu Palace?"
It wasn't that Lady Guoluo was forbidden from entering the palace on ordinary days, but since she had just come from Chuxiu Palace, it would be against the rules to go there again.
