Chapter 1039: Duke Anguo is here

After the princess left, the guard carefully raised his head and looked at her back.

"I didn't expect the princess to have such an easygoing personality."

"Yes, he looks exactly like the Imperial Concubine. He is indeed the child of the Imperial Concubine."

In the eyes of these guards, Princess Yong'an, who was loved by everyone in the palace, must be an arrogant and domineering person.

They can see the seventh princess's current appearance.

They did not dare to delay. Now that Princess Yong'an has returned to the palace, they should inform His Majesty.

One of the guards whispered a few words to the eunuch on duty nearby. Upon hearing this, the eunuch hurried to His Majesty's Longsheng Palace.

He had heard from Eunuch Xiao Meng, who served beside His Majesty, that His Majesty would mention Princess Yong'an several times every day.

Now that Princess Yong'an is back, we must inform Your Majesty and make him happy.

As for Lu Xingwan, after easily entering the palace gate, he began to stroll around slowly.

Pei Chuyan was always half a step behind her, as if he was protecting her and caring about her.

He got used to it.

Wanwan does have an innate carefree quality, and every move she makes is very calm and unhurried.

Perhaps it was her unique temperament that allowed Pei Chuyan to recognize her in the vast crowd.

Lu Xingwan was very familiar with this palace.

Along the way, she took Pei Chuyan and walked slowly on the palace road.

It is now early winter, but there are always suitable flowers blooming in this royal garden.

Lu Xingwan suddenly felt quite emotional.

I wonder if my father has taken in a new concubine after I have been away from the palace for so many years?

But, I guess it’s gone!

She couldn't wait to meet everyone in the palace now, and wanted to see if they were as the rumors outside said.

While passing by Yu Garden, Lu Xingwan suddenly stopped.

She just stood there quietly, looking towards the direction of the garden, her eyes becoming dazed.

All the memories she had in the garden came to her mind bit by bit.

In the palace and in the garden, she indeed spent a very happy time.

I don't know why, but this time when I came back, I felt like everything had changed.

She didn't think she had an extraordinary memory. After all, as a cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years, it would be a burden for her if she remembered everything clearly in her mind during these long years.

But every experience she had in the palace was clearly imprinted in her mind.

Seeing the princess suddenly stop, Pei Chuyan looked at her sideways: "Do you want to go shopping?"

After being called by Pei Chuyan, Lu Xingwan suddenly came back to his senses, and then shook his head in the direction of Pei Chuyan: "Let's go to Qingyun Palace quickly!"

After Lu Xingwan said this, Pei Chuyan didn't say anything else.

He originally wanted to ask the princess whether she should go to see the Empress Dowager and His Majesty first, or to see the Imperial Concubine first.

But now I think that the princess has already made up her mind.

He knew that the princess' decision was actually irrational.

According to court etiquette, when the princess returns to the palace, she should first pay her respects to His Majesty and the Queen Mother.

But Lu Xingwan is a person who is not bound by the secular world.

However, the Queen Mother and His Majesty love the princess so much that they will not blame her for this.

The two of them quickened their pace and continued to move towards Qingyun Palace.

It was quite a coincidence that Lu Xingwan came back today, as today happened to be the day when the eldest princess and the second princess returned to the palace. They had already bid farewell to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of Great Chu, and were now bringing their respective children to talk with the Imperial Concubine in Qingyun Palace.

Perhaps it was because the Imperial Concubine had once saved her from a difficult situation, so the Second Princess now had great respect and closeness towards the Imperial Concubine.

Now in her eyes, the Imperial Concubine is like her biological mother.

Her kindness to the Imperial Concubine was more than just a favor.

This feeling has already taken root in her heart over the years.

While several people in Qingyun Palace were talking enthusiastically, Pei Chuyan brought Lu Xingwan to the gate of Qingyun Palace.

Looking at Qingyun Palace, there has been no change from before, as if everything was still yesterday.

The palace maid serving at the door was assigned to serve after Song Qingyan returned to the palace, so she naturally didn't know Wanwan.

Even if she used to serve in Qingyun Palace, they might not recognize Wanwan now that she has changed so much.

But Duke Anguo often went in and out of Qingyun Palace, so they recognized him.

Seeing Pei Chuyan coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Duke Anguo is here."

This palace maid is very familiar with Duke Anguo.

After all, Duke Anguo often visited Qingyun Palace, so the people here were not surprised to see Pei Chuyan coming. However, their eyes inadvertently swept over Lu Xingwan who was now standing next to Pei Chuyan.

When they saw Lu Xingwan, their eyes lit up.

Although this woman was dressed in ordinary clothes and did not have too many fancy decorations, her face was like that of a fairy from heaven.

Although they had seen countless beauties in the palace, the stunning appearance of the woman in front of them made them unable to help but look at her a second time.

A few people couldn't help but think of the rumors that the Duke of Anguo was discussing marriage during this period.

Could it be that this woman is the one chosen by Duke Anguo?

It seemed as if he had never seen this woman in the capital.

Duke Anguo doesn't look like a superficial person. Could it be that he only looks at the appearance when judging people?

But even though they were familiar with Duke Anguo, they did not dare to overstep the line in front of him.

They all knew the character of the Duke of Anguo.

After a brief pause, Pei Chuyan just nodded slightly and continued to walk into the hall with Lu Xingwan.

But just like before, he still followed Lu Xingwan half a step behind. Although the maid was dissatisfied, she did not dare to say anything.

This man is so powerful that Duke Anguo attaches so much importance to him.

When Lu Xingwan reached the palace gate, he had already heard the voice of the elder sister inside the palace.

As a rule, the eldest princess and the second princess are allowed to enter the palace once a month.

Although the Emperor of Great Chu has handed over most of the affairs to the Crown Prince, there are still many things that need to be handled by him personally.

So the eldest princess and the second princess just kowtowed to him and paid their respects.

As for the Queen Mother, she is old now and her energy is not as good as before, so they just talked to her for a while.

So most of the time, the two of them were with Song Qingyan.

At this time, they were talking to the Royal Concubine about what had happened outside recently. Lu Xingwan could hear constant laughter inside.

The eldest princess' daughter, Princess Jiajin, was also sitting below at this time. Her brocade satin dress made her look particularly well-behaved and lovely.
