Chapter 1079: But the Fifth Prince Consort?

He saw a nobleman passing by him, and in his attempt to avoid him, he almost fell on Lu Xingwan.

The moment their eyes met, he instantly recognized Lu Xingwan.

He was about to kneel down to salute, but Lu Xingwan stepped forward and supported him, stopping him.

Lu Xingwan subconsciously took a step back, with a hint of apology in his eyes. It was really because of his standing here that he was blocking the little eunuch's way forward.

Fortunately, the young eunuch was smart and did not spill the food in his hand. If he had spilled the food in his hand, he would have been punished again.

Lu Xingwan stretched out a finger, placed it lightly against her lips, made a gesture to silence the little eunuch, and then looked around in panic.

The little eunuch's voice was not loud, and the people around them were not affected by their movements.

Lu Xingwan doesn't want to be exposed in front of others so soon, she wants to hide in this corner and watch the show!

The young eunuch looked up at Lu Xingwan, with confusion in his eyes.

He originally thought that Princess Yong'an should be standing together with the Imperial Concubine at this time, accepting everyone's kneeling worship.

But now she is hiding here, and I don’t know what she is looking at.

Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Lu Xingwan was unwilling to answer his question. She just shook her head slightly and signaled him to leave as soon as possible.

Although the young eunuch had some doubts in his heart, he knew that this was Princess Yong'an's own business.

Since the princess had warned him not to reveal her whereabouts, he just nodded.

He bowed slightly to Lu Xingwan, then steadied the tray in his hand and walked to the table beside him.

He would naturally put the food in his hand on the tables of the ladies.

He was also hesitant in his heart. After all, Princess Yong'an was a child, and he was still a little worried.

So even though he never stopped walking, he couldn't help but look back frequently.

As Lu Xingwan watched the little eunuch's leaving figure, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to him.

The young eunuch moved very quickly and quickly returned to this place, passing by Lu Xingwan.

This time, perhaps because he was afraid of exposing Lu Xingwan's whereabouts, he deliberately kept a distance from Lu Xingwan.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xingwan took a step forward and pulled him to his side.

The eunuch was indeed startled by the princess's sudden action, but he hurriedly bowed to her again, his voice trembling a little: "Your Highness."

The young eunuch was not very old, and Lu Xingwan was taller than him, so now Lu Xingwan was actually half a head taller than the young eunuch.

While she was talking to the young eunuch, she bent down slightly and asked in a voice almost whispering, "Do you know who is the son of the Minister of Justice?"

After hearing this, the young eunuch looked up at Lu Xingwan, then hurriedly lowered his head.

Naturally, he didn't dare to look at Lu Xingwan for even longer.

It was extremely disrespectful for a servant like him to look directly at the princess.

However, he quickly came to his senses, lowered his head, looked at the position of Lu Xingwan's hand, and asked tentatively: "Princess, are you talking about the Fifth Prince Consort?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingwan nodded lightly, and his voice became a little quieter.

The eunuch also hurriedly raised his head, looking for the figure of the Fifth Prince Consort in this scene.

He knew clearly that Princess Yong'an had not returned to Beijing for many years. In addition, Princess Yong'an was not there when the Fifth Princess got married, so it was understandable that she did not recognize the Fifth Prince Consort.

He quickly moved the tray in his hand to his other arm, then pointed his finger at a man in a white shirt.

"Princess, the man in white is the Fifth Prince Consort."

Lu Xingwan looked in the direction the young eunuch pointed, and saw Deng Yi chatting with the person next to him.

No wonder Concubine Yue praised the fifth sister's husband so much. Indeed, even if he was standing among the ministers, he could be seen at a glance.

He indeed exudes his own unique light among the crowd.

Even though he was wearing only a simple white shirt, it could not conceal his brilliance.

However, if it is as what others say, such as being like a banished immortal and having graceful and elegant manners, it is indeed a bit exaggerated.

If there is anyone who can be described as a banished immortal, in Lu Xingwan's eyes, it is probably only Senior Brother Lu who deserves this description.

But it seems that this fifth prince consort is a person who loves to laugh.

When he talked to the people around him, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, giving people a warm and friendly feeling.

Looking at his gentle appearance, Lu Xingwan felt a hint of doubt in her mind again.

Before she saw Deng Yi, no matter how well Concubine Yue described him, she still had some doubts.

In her eyes, the fifth sister must be so sad because she is unhappy in this marriage.

She even suspected that it was Deng Yi who treated her fifth sister harshly.

But looking at him now, he can be so kind to others, how could he...

Wanwan's gaze unconsciously shifted to the man who was talking to the Fifth Prince Consort.

After seeing that person, Lu Xingwan's face instantly turned ashen.

Now, the person standing opposite Deng Yi, chatting and laughing with him, was none other than Lin Yuanzhi, the son of the Minister of Rites, whom she had seen outside the palace gate earlier.

As soon as she saw Lin Yuanzhi, she thought of how he had colluded with Jiang Qingyin and wanted the An family's sister to take over. She was filled with anger.

The little eunuch followed the princess's gaze and looked in the direction of Deng Yi.

He had no doubts in his heart. In his eyes, it was normal for the princess, as the fifth princess's younger sister, to want to see what her brother-in-law looked like.

Seeing that the princess had not spoken for a long time, he turned his body and glanced in the direction of Lu Xingwan with his peripheral vision.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but after just one glance, all the blood in the little eunuch's body seemed to freeze at that instant.

For some reason, the princess's face now looked so gloomy that ink could drip out of it.

Immediately, the young eunuch froze in place. He didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of accidentally offending the princess.

He didn't dare to leave without permission.

I was just thinking that the princess talked to me so much today, maybe she likes me.

If I could win the favor of the princess, I would no longer have to do such hard work in the kitchen, and maybe I could rise to a high position in the future.

But he didn't expect that the princess would get angry after he had only said a few words to her.

As the little eunuch trembled, Lu Xingwan's voice came from above his head again: "What is the relationship between Deng Yi and my fifth sister?"
