Chapter 442 Yun Ran, you actually scolded me
The carriage stopped at the small side gate of the palace. The eunuch who came to pick them up was very respectful when he saw that it was Prince Jing'an who personally brought the two of them here.
The messenger helped them park the carriage, and then he personally led the people into the palace through a small door.
Yun Ran discovered that there seemed to be quite a few carriages parked next to their carriage, which was a bit strange.
Are there so many people entering the palace at this hour?
Ye Jingzhen accompanied the two of them through the long corridor in the palace and said goodbye to them in front of a palace gate.
"I'm going to see my royal brother. You guys go ahead. When you're about to leave, send someone to the East Palace to call me." Ye Jingzhen said.
Yun Ran and Yun Yue agreed and followed the young eunuch.
No outside men are allowed to enter the harem, so the queen invites concubines and noble ladies from the three palaces and six courtyards.
Three women make a drama. Now there is a large group of women, and the back garden of Fengkun Palace is very lively.
At this time, the venue had been set up in the back garden, and the main seat naturally belonged to Queen Chu.
At this time, she was sitting upright on the chaise longue, wearing a thick fox fur cloak. There were two maids on her left and right, one holding a phoenix canopy in her hand, and the other burning a small stove at her feet.
She herself wore a gorgeous phoenix crown made of pearls and jade on her head, held a hand warmer in her hand, and nestled on a chaise longue covered with a thick blanket like a lazy cat.
On her left, according to their rank from nearest to farthest, sat more than a dozen imperial concubines, imperial concubines, noble ladies, and beauties.
Yun Ran looked at their clothes and headdresses and roughly determined their identities. Those below the rank of beauty were probably not invited.
On the right are Yun Ran and the others, that is, the female relatives invited by Yun Hua.
Yun Ran originally thought that it was just her and Yun Yue, but she didn't expect that the seats on the right were already occupied by seven or eight pretty girls. Judging from their words and actions, they must be the daughters of noble families of officials in the court.
When did the third sister get to know so many people from famous circles?
Yun Ran was just wondering when Yun Yue quietly came over and said, "How are things? These are my classmates from Huixiang Academy. I invited them all. There should be six or seven who haven't come yet. Don't worry!"
It turns out that they all graduated from Huixiang Academy. No wonder they all look so well-mannered and well-educated, like ladies from noble families.
However, these women are definitely not all commoners, there are also some with extraordinary identities.
Yun Ran pursed his lips and smiled, giving Yun Yue a thumbs up.
Huixiang Academy is the only girls' school in Dakang State. Those who can get in are the most outstanding women in Dakang State with both moral integrity and talent. No matter their social status, as long as they pass the girls' school examination, they can go in to study.
Yunyue also tried her best to take the exam twice before she passed, but she was still the youngest among them.
While the two were talking, a few girls in gorgeous clothes came over. When they saw Yunyue, they greeted them politely.
Only one of the girls, who was wearing a light yellow dress, frowned when she saw Yun Ran, rolled her eyes and turned away.
Yun Ran was a little surprised. She didn’t do anything, right?
Yun Yue, who was standing by, put her arm around Yun Ran's shoulders and rolled her eyes at the girl in yellow without any hesitation.
The two turned around together, and Yunyue said, "Ranran, ignore her, she's just jealous of you!"
"Jealous of me?" Yun Ran was a little confused. "Is she jealous of my delicious cooking? Or is she unhappy because she didn't draw the VIP ticket for Shanhailou?"
Yun Yue sighed and shook her head repeatedly: "People say that those who are born in a blessed situation don't know how to appreciate it. I think that's true."
"Don't you know what your current status is? Princess Jing'an, there are so many people in our Great Kang Kingdom who are jealous of you!"
"Really?" Yun Ran still didn't feel anything.
Yun Yue looked at her with a look of disappointment: "I think your little brain has been fooled by cooking. The girl in the yellow dress just now is Huang Minyan. She is the daughter of the Minister of Rites and has long been in love with Prince Jing'an."
"Back when you two weren't married, she sent someone to give a handkerchief to Little Prince Jing'an, but he didn't accept it. She's been thinking about it ever since."
"Really?" Yun Ran frowned, feeling a little unhappy for some reason. "Then why did Fourth Sister tell me this only now?"
Even her fourth sister knew about Huang Minyan's affairs, except her.
Is it true that I was only focused on cooking and researching new recipes, so I missed out on a lot of things?
Yun Yue was shrewd and naturally noticed her emotions. She patted the back of her hand and said, "Oh, I only found out after I entered Huixiang Academy and met her. At that time, you and the young prince Jing'an were already engaged. Besides, the young prince confiscated her handkerchief and was devoted to you!"
After hearing her say this, Yun Ran's depressed feeling disappeared.
"See, this country mutt is not up to par."
Perhaps Yunyue spoke a little loudly just now and was heard by Huang Minyan. At this moment, she was holding a handkerchief and covering her lips, and her words sounded sarcastic.
"We're in the Queen's back garden, and you're yelling so loudly. How uncultured!"
Not only were these words harsh to the ear, but Huang Minyan also spoke in a low voice.
Not only the dozen or so concubines, noble ladies and beauties sitting in the seats opposite, but also the queen sitting in the main seat must have heard it.
But no one said anything, everyone was just watching the fun.
Yunyue suddenly got angry, rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush forward to start a fight.
Yun Ran was completely overwhelmed.
She knew Yun Yue's temperament. She had always been so impetuous when she was in the Yun family in Feishui Village. Now that she was in the capital and entered Huixiang Academy, she thought she would be more restrained.
Now it seems that the opposite is probably true.
Yun Ran took a deep breath, quickly grabbed Yun Yue's wrist, and then forced her shoulders to sit down.
In this situation, they absolutely cannot take action. Otherwise, even if Huang Minyan is wrong, they will definitely suffer, not to mention that this is happening in front of the Queen and these concubines.
"Ran Ran! Why are you stopping me? Didn't you hear what she just said about us?!"
Yun Ran patted Yun Yue on the back to help her calm down, and looked at Huang Minyan who was sitting not far away with her arms folded, looking at him arrogantly.
"Fourth sister, why are you angry? She didn't say anything about us."
"Huh?" Yunyue was confused.
"Miss Huang knows that this is in the Queen's back garden, so you need to be careful with your words," Yun Ran said slowly. "So, what you just said was really inappropriate. You should think carefully and speak with caution."
"What's wrong with that! I'm talking about you guys who are not presentable!" Huang Minyan raised her eyebrows, looking very arrogant.
Yun Ran glanced at the seats opposite him and saw that the faces of several concubines had turned dark, and he sighed inwardly.
Then he said, "I know Miss Huang is also a student of Huixiang Academy, but using a dog to compare a person is really not very nice. Besides, Miss Huang has her own meaning, so why lower her status and bring herself into it?"
Huang Minyan:……!
Her face froze, and she immediately understood: "Yun Ran! You...you actually scolded me!"
