Chapter 120 Prince Yun's Secret Meeting with a Fake Heiress?
The two had no choice but to kneel down and half-raise their heads.
"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Yun."
"Your Highness, I am Pei Nanjia, the twelfth daughter of the Pei family."
"Your Highness, I am Li Qingluo, the second daughter of the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane."
Upon hearing Li Qingluo's name, Prince Yun uttered an "Oh?"
"So you are Li Qingluo?"
He stared at Li Qingluo for a long while, making Li Qingluo's hair stand on end, before leaving.
Pei Nanjia helped Li Qingluo up, "Are you alright?"
She assumed that Li Qingluo's unusual expression was because it was the first time she had met someone of such high status.
Li Qingluo: "I'm fine. Nan Jia, I want to wash my hands. You can go back first."
After saying this, Li Qingluo left quickly with Que'er without waiting for Pei Nanjia's reaction.
Upon arriving at the washroom, Li Qingluo met Deng Mama, who had been waiting for her.
Granny Deng grinned when she saw her and came closer: "Miss."
Li Qingluo: "How is it?"
Granny Deng: "I have naturally taken care of everything you have instructed me to do."
Although there was no one in the washroom, Li Qing washed her hands and went out.
Granny Deng and Que'er followed on either side. Granny Deng continued in a low voice, "This old servant spread the word and secretly arranged for Liu Jinzhi to be placed in the vegetable delivery team. After she came in, she would be all alone."
"And Prince Yun's new concubine, she went back to her parents' home to visit relatives today. On her way back to the palace, she was tied up by the old servant and is being left on the waiting platform."
Li Qingluo: "When the time is right, we'll lure Prince Yun over there."
Granny Deng: "Don't worry, we took several maids with us today, and they're all very clever."
Li Qinglu breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Qingluo already knew the day before yesterday that Li Qingzhu would definitely come to this winter banquet.
Although I won't take her with me, given Li Qingzhu's personality, she will definitely not let this matter rest. She has plenty of ways to deal with it.
As expected, Li Qingluo received the news as soon as the Pan family's letter was delivered to the general's mansion.
That's good, so Li Qingluo can better plan how to deal with her further.
Since she didn't bring the person with her, naturally no one suspected her afterwards.
Currently, there is a maid named Zijin in Li Qingzhu's courtyard, who used to be from Lancang Courtyard.
Before leaving, Liu Sui'er revealed to Li Qingluo that Zi Jin harbored ulterior motives.
Li Qingluo naturally wanted to make good use of this opportunity.
At her behest, Zi Jin has now gone to Ziwei Hall.
However, Li Qingzhu felt that her name clashed with Ziwei Hall, so she gave her a new name, Lüying.
Li Qingluo: "Lü Ying came along today. Have her keep an eye on Li Qingzhu and, if necessary, lure Li Qingzhu to the waiting platform as well."
Li Qingluo lowered her fingers, stroking the small token hanging from her waist.
She didn't know how to use this brand at first, but now that she's using it, she realizes that her grandmother's network of informants is practically everywhere in Nanjing.
Calling it the Intelligence Division would be no exaggeration.
Even here in the princess's residence today, she could still do something if she wanted to.
The dishes served at the Princess's residence were mostly Northwestern cuisine.
Hand-pulled mutton, mutton hot pot, baked buns, and willow branch skewers about the size of eggs.
Everyone stared in disbelief, and most were unwilling to eat it because of the muttony smell.
However, at the banquet, Princess Xiyue appeared in person and invited everyone to start eating, so they had no choice but to eat.
However, they still taste great.
Li Qingluo could even be described as stunning.
Suddenly, that strange smell seemed to disappear as well.
Li Qingluo had never tasted anything like this in either of her lives, so she was reluctant to put down her chopsticks while eating these novel dishes.
Especially the mutton in the pot, although it looked bland, once dipped in the sauce, a variety of rich and delicate flavors instantly filled her mouth and awakened her taste buds.
Eating those meat skewers and other similar items afterwards was incredibly delicious.
Moreover, after finishing the meal, she felt warm all over.
Today's winter banquet is exclusively for the women of Jinling City.
The eldest princess first politely thanked everyone for their understanding of the trouble Princess Nanping had caused during this period, and then said that everyone could come to the princess's residence to play often in the future.
But she's royalty, who would dare take her words seriously?
However, they all accepted the offer without hesitation and raised their glasses to drink.
Li Qingzhu was feeling troubled, so she drank a few more cups than the others.
Green Firefly tried to persuade her, and she laughed and pinched Green Firefly's inner thigh hard.
Then, turning her head and lowering her voice, she said in a tone only the two of them could hear, "If you say another word, I'll slap you when we get back. You wretched hussy, who do you think you are to tell me what to do?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Green Firefly said, "Miss, I just didn't want you to lose your composure today. I heard that His Highness Prince Yun is also at the Princess's residence today. If he sees any noble lady losing her composure, people will gossip about you."
Li Qingzhu's eyes lit up instantly: "Who are you talking about? How do you know about this?"
She clearly didn't hear a thing!
Li Qingzhu went to great lengths to come to the princess's residence because she wanted to try her luck and see if she could have a chance to see His Highness!
Since returning to the General's Mansion, she has not dared to contact Prince Yun at all, so she can only find opportunities on her own.
To my surprise, His Highness actually came here today!
Her mind immediately started working.
He wondered why he hadn't worn that string of coral beads today.
Green Firefly: "This servant is referring to His Highness Prince Yun. Isn't he also the Princess's younger brother? It's not surprising that he's here today."
"Also, I just heard it from them."
Green Firefly pointed casually, and Li Qingzhu actually believed it.
Just then, a maid came over to pour wine and secretly slipped a note into Li Qingzhu's hand.
Li Qingzhu was so nervous that she almost knocked over the table before she could even see who the other person was.
With trembling hands, she unfolded the note in her hand. When she saw the words "Prince Yun is waiting on the platform for the young lady," her face flushed red instantly.
Fortunately, because she had been drinking, no one noticed anything unusual about her at that moment.
Li Qingzhu's heart was pounding like thunder. She looked up at everyone and felt that they might have discovered something about her.
