Chapter 1044: Collision

There was a hint of expectation in that voice, but for some reason, Jin Xin heard a sense of resistance.

She originally thought that the princess would want to meet the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Princess, but she didn't expect that she would...

Jinxin just looked up at the princess's back and didn't say anything more.

Concubine Wen was already immersed in the joy of seeing Wanwan, so she didn't notice the strangeness in Wanwan's tone.

She still looked at Wanwan lovingly, then shook her head slightly: "Now your fourth brother has to stay with your brother the Crown Prince every day, so he has little time to be with me."

Although she said this, Concubine Wen was extremely satisfied with the Fourth Prince's performance.

She knew that a man should have the world in his heart and fight for it, and should not be confined to the harem like a woman.

Therefore, Lu Xingwan saw a hint of pride in Concubine Wen's eyes. It seemed that Fourth Brother had really grown into Concubine Wen's support.

"As for your seventh sister!" Concubine Wen's eyes flashed with a hint of fondness, but also with a bit of helplessness, "She has always been restless. I don't know where she wanders around all day."

"Let's not talk about her." After saying this, Concubine Wen gently patted Wanwan's hand and took her to the Hanguang Palace.

Concubine Wen kept expressing her concern for Wanwan and how much the Royal Concubine missed her over the years. Wanwan would occasionally tell Concubine Wen about what she had heard.

Concubine Wen had not left the palace for many years, so she listened to Wanwan's words with great interest.

Although Xingyan often left the palace to go out for fun, she rarely sat in front of her so quietly and talked to her about what was happening outside.

To be honest, Concubine Wen still felt a little lost.

Over the years, she has already treated Lu Xingyan as her own child.

In this way, the laughter of the two people continued to echo in the Hanguang Palace, making the maids serving in the palace very happy.

After all, the Hanguang Palace in the past was always very dull.

And in their eyes, perhaps it is precisely because of this boredom that His Majesty does not often visit Hanguang Palace.

Wanwan knew that she couldn't stay in Hanguang Palace for too long, as Concubine Wen still had her own things to do.

So after sitting for a while, she prepared to leave.

However, unfortunately, not long after she left Hanguang Palace, she met Lu Xingyan outside Hanguang Palace.

Wanwan was talking to Jinxin next to her, but when she turned to look at the Seventh Princess not far away, she was stunned.

The Seventh Princess felt the same way. She had never expected to meet Lu Xingwan outside Hanguang Palace.

Could it be that she complained to her mother?

People outside have been saying how great this little girl is, but now she is just like this. She actually ran to her mother to complain because of some disputes?

It's really a bit disgusting.

These days, because of Yongan's return to the palace, the palace has been more lively than ever before.

She was naturally unhappy.

They are all princesses, why does the emperor value her so much?

She wanted to mock Lu Xingwan, but then she remembered that they were outside the Hanguang Palace, and behind Lu Xingwan was Jinxin, the Imperial Concubine's concubine.

She naturally didn't dare to act rashly like she did outside the palace.

The two of them just looked at each other awkwardly.

The seventh princess was the first to react, but when she raised her legs to move forward again, her previously brisk steps became slow.

Although she was somewhat arrogant and domineering outside, in front of Concubine Wen, she always acted like a sensible and understanding daughter.

She always paid attention to maintaining this image in front of Concubine Wen.

The two continued to walk forward, and were about to reach a place. Seeing that the Seventh Princess had no intention of speaking, Wanwan finally took a deep breath, summoned up all her courage, took a step forward, and bowed slightly to the Seventh Princess.

"Seventh sister is back." Her voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear in this quiet palace corridor.

This actually doesn't make sense.

After all, Wanwan was the only princess with a title, and as usual, it was the Seventh Princess who paid her respects to Princess Yongan.

But Lu Xingwan never cared about these things.

Plus, she thought Lu Xingyan was her sister, so she didn't care even more.

The Seventh Princess' response was not enthusiastic. She just nodded slightly, and her tone was also slightly indifferent: "I heard that the Ninth Sister had returned a long time ago. I didn't expect to see her here today."

The two of them chatted for a few more sentences.

To be honest, when Wanwan left the palace, they were both very young children, so they probably didn't know each other.

If it weren't for what happened outside the palace a few days ago, the two of them might have been able to live in peace.

But now, they were just exchanging stiff greetings as if they were acting.

Wanwan was naturally angry. She was angry that the Seventh Princess was lawless and was damaging the reputation of the royal family.

The Seventh Princess was even more furious. She found everything about Lu Xingwan unpleasant to her.

But she didn't want to be criticized in front of others, so she could only pretend that she liked Wanwan very much.

But how can I pretend to like this?

Especially the Seventh Princess was extremely annoyed with Wanwan.

Wanwan didn't want to stay any longer, so she nodded to her again: "Seventh sister, I'm going back first."

The seventh princess also nodded but said nothing.

On the way back to Qingyun Palace, Wanwan felt much more relaxed.

She no longer had the nervousness she had just felt before entering Hanguang Palace.

Perhaps it was because the Seventh Princess did not quarrel with her in person that made her feel more at ease.

It seems that she still has some brains.

It's not that she didn't want to conflict with the Seventh Princess, she just didn't want to make things too awkward.

Concubine Wen has always treated me very well. If I had a quarrel with Lu Xingyan, I'm afraid Concubine Wen would be very uncomfortable in the middle.

As long as Lu Xing doesn't say anything excessive, he is willing to maintain this superficial peace.

However, Wanwan still hopes that Lu Xingyan can change his domineering personality.

If I see her bullying civilians again, I will not let her go.

For so many years, Jinxin Jinyu has been serving Song Qingyan and returned to the palace from Yong'an County.

After so many years of training, Jinxin has become more careful than before.

Today, when Princess Yong'an was interacting with the Seventh Princess, she stood beside her but did not speak.

But she noticed that the atmosphere between Princess Yong'an and the Seventh Princess was somewhat subtle.

The feeling between them just now was by no means the unfamiliar and polite feeling of a first meeting.

So Jinxin suspected that the two of them had met before.

In short, the relationship between them was definitely not the kind of relationship that would exist between two sisters who had met again after a long separation and had no connection with each other.

It was precisely because of this reason that the princess was unwilling to go to Hanguang Palace.

Maybe something unpleasant happened between the princess and the seventh princess?
