Just thinking about such disgusting things made Hui Meiren shudder uncontrollably. Without raising her head, she said, "Then I will trouble you, sister, tonight."
Upon hearing this, not only did Wen Changle's face turn pale, but even Granny Cai was successfully stunned.
What does that mean? Does it mean you not only want to stay for dinner, but also want to stay tonight to sleep?
Just as the three were lost in their own thoughts, a young palace maid ran in from outside the hall, glanced at Consort Hui who was still sobbing,
The palace maid hesitated, then finally murmured, "Your Highness, Granny, outside...outside..."
Wen Changle was already in a bad mood, and hearing her palace maids stammering like this, she frowned and slammed her teacup on the table with a "deng".
The sound startled the palace maid and successfully silenced the still-weeping Consort Hui.
Perhaps because she had never seen Wen Changle like this before, Hui Meiren stared blankly at Wen Changle with red eyes.
Granny Cai understood her mistress's thoughts and scolded the maid, "What exactly happened? Explain clearly! What kind of behavior is this, stammering like that!"
Startled, the palace maid dared not hide anything any longer and blurted out, "The little princess has arrived, saying she wants to see Consort Hui. This servant..."
Hui Meiren's face turned deathly pale instantly. Forgetting all her crying, she looked at Wen Changle pleadingly.
“Your Highness, this…” Granny Cai looked at Wen Changle, whose face was pale, and spoke cautiously.
Wen Changle's expression was terrible; her beautiful face was framed by a pair of gloomy eyes. Ignoring the gaze directed at her by the beautiful Hui, she spoke in a cold voice.
"Let her in."
She had only piqued Helian Nie's interest; she wanted to see what this little bastard would dare to do in her palace.
The palace maid looked at Granny Cai, and seeing Granny Cai nod, she quickly retreated.
"Sister, sister, you have to help my sister..." Hui Meiren was really scared now, afraid that Wen Changle would abandon her and just push her to Helian Si.
Wen Changle concealed her impatience, replacing it with a charming gentleness and composure. She took Hui Meiren's hand and patted it reassuringly.
"Don't be afraid, little sister, it's alright, I'm here for you."
These words, this tone, and this manner miraculously calmed the terrified and uneasy Hui Meiren.
She looked at Wen Changle with gratitude, feeling that she had not followed the wrong person; Wen Changle was her protector.
Overwhelmed with emotion, she nodded with tears in her eyes, "Sister, sister, thank you for helping me out of this predicament. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Wen Changle simply patted Hui Meiren's hand without replying.
A short while later, a palace maid led Helian Si and Yue'er into Ronghua Palace. When Consort Hui saw Helian Si in his new clothes, she couldn't help but tense up.
Helian Si, his eyes sparkling like grapes, curiously surveyed the extravagance of Ronghua Palace, his gaze filled with envy.
That's too much, too much! Turns out I'm the only poor person in this entire harem... Sigh...
Compared to Helian Si's composure, Yue'er became uneasy from the moment she stepped into Ronghua Palace. The reason was simple: the bad memories Ronghua Palace had given her were too deep.
The people in Ronghua Palace secretly observed Helian Si. Although they didn't recognize the little princess, they were ultimately afraid of the Emperor. They decided it was best to avoid her in the future.
