Chapter 234 Return to Anguogong Mansion
"Cousin, I want to go back to the Anguo Mansion." He Yuyao was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.
Pei Chuyan did not say anything, just waiting for He Yuyao's next words.
But Pei Chuyan's silence made He Yuyao think that Pei Chuyan was in a difficult situation.
After all, since his aunt passed away along with his uncle, Pei Chuyan was taken into the palace by the Empress Dowager. The huge Anguo Mansion became empty in just a few days.
However, the old housekeeper still lives there with some servants and is in charge of all affairs in the mansion.
When Pei Chuyan grows up, he will have to move back.
After Pei Chuyan's look, He Yuyao calmed down.
Seeing her like this, Pei Chuyan realized something, his expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Cousin, just keep talking, I'm listening."
He Yuyao was about to speak, but she saw the third princess leading her maid towards them, so she immediately stopped talking.
Pei Chuyan followed He Yuyao's gaze and looked over. The two siblings saluted the Third Princess in unison: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Third Princess."
The third princess felt a little guilty when she met the people from the He Mansion.
But suddenly I realized that the two sisters of the He family did not seem to get along well with each other. I thought that I was involved in He Yunyao's incident, but He Yuyao was unaware of it.
Besides, even if they knew, what would it matter? As a princess in the palace, I would always be superior to these people.
When he looked at the brother and sister again, his eyes were a little more arrogant: "It's not appropriate for Prince Pei to secretly meet a young lady from an aristocratic family in this palace."
"Is this what the Imperial Concubine taught you?"
When Pei Chuyan heard the Third Princess say something bad about the Royal Consort, his face immediately darkened and his tone became a little colder: "Third Princess, be careful with your words, this is my cousin."
The third princess suddenly realized that He Yuyao's biological mother was the only daughter of the old Duke of An.
Aren’t they cousins?
For a moment, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She wanted to get angry, but then she thought of the persona she had established outside and sobered up instantly: "It was my negligence."
"Sister He," the third princess seemed to have suddenly changed her expression and took He Yuyao's arm affectionately, "I wonder how your sister is doing? A few days ago, she said she would come to the palace to find me, but now she has disappeared."
He Yuyao was speechless.
Could it be that the Third Princess really didn't know about He Yunyao's plot against Rong's younger sister?
But looking at her innocent face, I became a little confused again.
She didn't dare to show it on her face, but just pretended to be sad and responded: "My cousin is in trouble. I'm sure the third princess knows about it. Now my sister is sad!"
"What a pity." The third princess naturally knew about this a long time ago, but she pretended not to know.
I guess He Yunyao doesn't dare to give himself away.
The two chatted for a while before the third princess left with her maid in a swagger.
He Yuyao turned to look at Pei Chuyan, but saw that he was just looking in the direction where the third princess left, as if thinking about something.
"I can't say more," He Yuyao swallowed and said, "Why don't you take me back to the Anguo Mansion first, my cousin?"
Seeing him like this, Pei Chuyan stopped asking questions and just nodded: "Cousin, please wait for me outside the palace. I will go and tell the Royal Concubine."
Although the Queen gave him complete freedom, since he lived in Qingyun Palace, he always had to inform the Queen before leaving the palace.
Song Qingyan didn't expect Pei Chuyan to come back so quickly. Seeing him rushing in again, she asked again, "Why so fast?"
"Your Majesty," Pei Chuyan still bowed respectfully, "My cousin said she wanted me to accompany her back to the Anguo Mansion."
Pei Chuyan completely trusted Song Qingyan, so he didn't hide it from her: "It's just that my cousin said it's not convenient to tell you what it is now, and she wants to talk about it after she returns."
Lu Xingwan couldn't help but raise her little hands, and she walked unsteadily to Song Qingyan and hugged her thighs.
[Mother, this must be a big event! ]
[But I haven't seen this in the novels, can you please ask me, mother?]
【Wanwan really wants to know. 】
Song Qingyan complained in her heart: You don't gossip about your mother now, but you could have kept telling me about it in the past!
Of course, she would not ask such idle questions. She just smiled and looked at Pei Chuyan in front of her: "Just go. If it's late, you can stay at the Anguo Mansion for one night."
Then he added: "Can you go by yourself? Do you want Jinxin to go with you?"
Jinxin's heart was already cheering with joy, as she seemed to have never been to the Anguo Mansion. She heard that the Anguo Mansion was quite different from other mansions, with no flowers or willows, only large tracts of pine, cypress and bamboo forests.
She wanted to go and take a look.
But the next moment, Pei Chuyan shattered her hope: "No need, I can go there myself."
Pei Chuyan didn't make any arrangements. After saying goodbye to Song Qingyan, he left Qingyun Palace and headed towards the palace gate.
At this time, He Yuyao, who was outside the palace, met Rong Wenmiao who was coming out of the palace.
"Sister He!" Rong Wenmiao looked at the person in front of her with surprise. She didn't expect to meet He Yuyao here.
He Yuyao naturally didn't expect this either. She turned around with a look of surprise on her face, and then stepped forward and held Rong Wenmiao's hand: "Sister Rong, why are you in the palace?"
Then he suddenly paused, looked at Rong Wenmiao's hand in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Rong, you have lost weight."
Rong Wenmiao smiled, still with the same cheerful smile as before: "Don't worry, sister, I have already let it go. The Queen Mother will summon me to the palace to talk every two days. Today is a coincidence."
"Why is Sister He here?"
He Yuyao paused, but did not reveal everything to Rong Wenmiao: "I am waiting for my cousin here, and I want to go back to the Anguo Mansion with him."
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Rong Wenmiao, she just wants to involve as few people as possible.
Rong Wenmiao was such a smart person, how could she not notice He Yuyao's little thoughts, but she didn't say much.
He just asked about her recent situation and gave her a few instructions with a smile.
"It's not convenient to talk too much at the palace gate," Rong Wenmiao pulled He Yuyao's hand, "I'll go back first."
After pausing for a moment, he looked at He Yuyao again, his eyes full of determination: "Sister He, if you need my help, just ask me."
He Yuyao looked at Rong Wenmiao with emotion, but did not say anything. She just held back her tears, looked at Rong Wenmiao with a smile, and nodded.
The two said goodbye to each other.
Not long after, Pei Chuyan came out of the palace gate, leading his horse, and looked at He Yuyao in front of him: "Cousin, let's go!"
Pei Chuyan rode a horse and He Yuyao took a carriage, and the two had no chance to talk along the way.
