When I went downstairs to ask, she said she was in a hurry to go out.

"Out?! Then... I'll go!"

She adjusted her hair and clothes in front of the mirror and went out.

A truck was being loaded at the door. The young man who had just come in asked for thirty boxes of snacks, all in the best packaging, and asked Yan Zhu to deliver them to Prince Wu's mansion.

Yan Zhu was very happy to personally take on such a large business.

As soon as he got to the car, Li Jiang ran over. Seeing Yan Zhu was about to go out, he asked, "Miss Yan, you are delivering goods to customers. What are you doing?"

Yan Zhu said, "This guest is from the Prince Wu's Palace! He asked me to personally see him off and introduce him to the Princess!"

Li Jiang didn't believe it: "You are asked to introduce dim sum to the princess? Miss Yan, that's the princess! What is she busy with every day? Why would she meet you just for a few boxes of dim sum? I didn't even recognize her before!"

"It's not just a few boxes, it's thirty boxes!" Yan Zhu retorted.

"Even if there are only three hundred boxes, Her Majesty won't summon me!" Li Jiang was anxious.

"You said he was a liar? No way, he made someone pay the bill!"

"That's not what I meant, but..."

"Alright, alright! I'll be back soon!"

"No! The girl is not here now, you can't go out by yourself!"

"I'm not going alone, Master Sun?! Come on! Look, Master Sun is going, and Jinhuan and Yinhuan are following him, isn't that enough?!"

"this……"

"We are going to Prince Wu's palace, not to any remote corner! Okay! I have agreed to the customer's request!" Yan Zhu got into the car happily, and Jinhuan and Yinhuan followed.

Sun Ying scratched his head. "Those who eat in the private room are not ordinary people. They made a request... Don't worry, the Prince of Wu's Mansion is not an ordinary place. Since the girl is allowed to go, she shouldn't be embarrassed."

Li Jiang was so anxious that he kept turning around and asking, "When will the girl come back?"

…

Wen Yu did go out, and she came to Princess Huiduan's home.

Princess Huiduan invited a few friends to her home today, and also invited the three sisters from the Wen family.

He sent someone to the store to bring some food over, and also told Wen Yu that if she was there and had time, she could go too.

Wen Yu was just wanting to see what Princess Huiduan was planning, so she delivered the goods to her door.

This was her first time to visit the princess, and when she entered the door, she couldn't help but marvel at it.

I heard from Madam Zhang that her late husband had a similar background to Prefect Zhang. It seems that the princess's family has a lot of money! In fact, Wen Yu really likes this character.

A group of women were sitting under the corridor, wearing bright spring clothes, in a leisurely atmosphere, listening to music and watching dance!

What a way to enjoy life! When the princess saw her coming, she said to the people next to her, "Look, this is the Wen Yu I mentioned."

Wen Yu smiled and saluted: "Princess, ladies!"

"Oh, this little one is so cute!"

"She's quite capable! I've been spending a lot of money on her recently!" said the princess in annoyance.

"Tell us this? If you put some pressure on me, Cui Fengying will be so happy!"

"Hey, why is she involved?!"

"This is her future daughter-in-law!"

"Oh, this is Qi Yang's fiancée!"

There was an uproar, and Wen Yu couldn't hear what everyone was saying, but judging from their faces, some were happy and some were unhappy...

Wen Su and Wen Wan came over: "Big sister!"

Wen Yu smiled: "It's fun, right?!"

"Um!"

Wen Yu turned to look for Wen Jiao. She was sitting quite close to the princess, dressed very beautifully, and sat very decently, waving her hand at Wen Yu...

This is... being proud again.

…

When Yan Zhu arrived at the palace, Sun Ying saw the imposing gate and the guards in front of it from afar, and he also felt worried.

"Girl, we can't leave the house with our identities!"

"Yeah, what should we do?"

The car approached and stopped on the side of the road, and a man came forward and asked, "Are you here to deliver snacks to the palace?"

"Yes! We are enjoying it!"

"Please follow me!" The man didn't say much and turned to walk towards the alley next to him.

Sun Ying thought: Going through the side door is fine.

After walking for a while, I reached the side door.

There was an older female official waiting with a few of her servants. When she saw the car coming, she stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, who is the manager?"

Sun Ying and Yan Zhu looked at each other. "Me..." Yan Zhu was really nervous.

"Please follow me!" He turned around and ordered his men to move the goods and count them.

"Oh... then Jinhuan, you follow me." Yan Zhu got out of the car and called Jinhuan.

It was also Jinhuan’s first time to enter such a place. Her calves were shaking and she carefully supported Yan Zhu.

After entering the room and looking around, Yan Zhu felt a little regretful...she should have listened to Li Jiang.

I saw the female official in front of me walking with a pace as even as if measured with a ruler. Her upper body was motionless, and her footsteps were so quiet that there was no sound at all.

She became even more anxious.

Following the female official through layers of courtyards, we finally arrived at a hall.

Two women stood at the door, motionless.

The female official turned around and said softly, "Wait a moment!" and went in. After a long while, she came out and said, "Miss Yan, please come in!"

The queen really wants to see me! Without Wen Yu by her side, Yan Zhu's face turned pale.

Yan Zhu had no choice but to go in.

There were several people in the room, all doing their own things.

Behind the large desk sat a noble lady.

Yan Zhu knelt down and kowtowed: "I am Yan Zhu, a commoner, greeting Your Majesty!" Her voice was a little weak.

The lady looked down and said slowly, "No need to be polite. Stand up!"

Yan Zhu stood up.

Princess Wu then took a closer look. No wonder her son was so interested in her... She was really a beauty! From her own perspective, since Yang Ru was there first, she had no good feelings for any beauty. She had taken a fancy to Wen Yu because she had a pure and well-behaved temperament, and didn't seem like someone who would get involved with a man!

This one in front of me...

"What's your name?" Princess Wu asked in a very gentle tone.

"My name is Yan Zhu!"

"Who else is home?"

Yan Zhu shook her head: "To answer your Majesty, Yan Zhu is an orphan."

Princess Wu was even more unhappy.

But looking at this girl, she is not young, but her expression is innocent, and her clothes are more exquisite than those of other young ladies from official families. She should not have suffered any hardship.

"Then who are you to Wen Yu?"

"My lady, do you know Arabic?"

Princess Wu smiled.

"I am Uncle Ayu's goddaughter! So, Ayu and I are sworn sisters. Zhuzhu is my older sister!" Yan Zhu relaxed.

What a mess!

"You can make snacks!?"

Two maids came in, one holding two boxes and the other holding a plate with a few pieces on it. They placed them in front of Princess Wu, who saw that they looked fresh, so she asked Yan Zhu.

"I know a little bit. The snacks I sent to the queen were basically Yan Zhu's ideas..."

Princess Wu tasted a little and said, "Hmm, it's really good! Okay, you can go down now!"

Yan Zhu felt relieved and quickly bowed, then was led out by the palace maid.

Two guards were patrolling the palace when they heard a strange sound. They looked for it but found nothing.

I just smelled a strange smell.

The two people sniffed and searched, but found nothing.

"What stinks!"

The beggar sat on the high roof. He held his head with both hands, and his confused and dazed eyes suddenly became much clearer, but with some pain.

Just now, he saw the noble lady in palace dress.

At first glance, I was so shocked that I almost fell down.

He should recognize this woman, but... the pain in her memory overwhelmed him like a tide! He almost couldn't breathe.

A woman appeared in my mind, very beautiful, but like the people in the painting, she had no joy or sadness, as if nothing in the world could move her.

…

When Prince Yongqing returned home after finishing his business, as soon as he entered the house, he knew that Yan Zhu had come with snacks, and his mother had also seen her.

So I came in happily and asked.

Princess Wu's expression was not as good as he thought.

"Mother, how is it?"

"If you like it, just keep it with you!" Princess Wu was writing something. When she heard his question, she said it nonchalantly.

"But, didn't you say last time that you wanted to choose a concubine?"

"She comes from the common people and doesn't know any rules. She looks too naive. Besides, an orphan girl from the common people has a bad reputation. If she becomes a concubine, she will have to deal with all kinds of things in the mansion and it is possible for her to enter the palace.

She can't be like this! She's not young anymore, and it's hard to discipline her. And given her status, being a concubine is not a low position."

"But... considering her relationship with Wen Yu, Wen Yu may not agree!"

"She doesn't want to?! What? Is it her turn to speak? She is marrying up! Does she think she has the power to make decisions for me?"

"...Okay then. As long as you can do it! Mother...I asked around, Yan Zhu, she's really good at cooking and making snacks! She'll be able to take good care of you in the future!"

Princess Wu thought of the snacks she had just eaten! "Yes, they are not bad! But, in order to please her, you brought so much home at once, won't it be bad if you can't finish it?! You made me send them here and there!"

He cursed in his heart, just like his father, a big lover! "Hehe..." Prince Yongqing laughed. "Mother, if I take her there tomorrow, will it be difficult to deal with it!?"

He thought that it would be a great blessing in the world if he could bathe with this beauty in the hot spring resort.

"If it was someone else, it would be easy to deal with. As for her, she is connected to the Qi and Cui families, so let's wait a little longer!"

"Oh..." Prince Yongqing lost his spirit.

The beggar was shocked by the past, and when Yan Zhu left, he was not in a hurry to follow.

As a result, I heard the conversation between mother and son.

Now he was planning to leave. When he was climbing over the wall, he finally alarmed the guards of the palace: "Who are you! Stop!" They came to chase him.

He was not in a hurry and continued to run. His body movements were not particularly special, so when a secret guard caught up with him, he attacked him with a knife.

He flashed to the side, and his two fingers, like swords, rushed towards the secret guard's neck.

The secret guard didn't take him seriously at all and just dodged to the side, but the knife continued to fall.

But he never expected that along with the finger came a soft sword. Its sharpness was so great that the secret guard felt a chill on his neck and fell to the ground.

The only person who saw what he looked like died.

The other guards only smelled the strong stench he left behind...
