The prince made an appointment to meet with Xiao Meiniang, the owner of Xiaohuang Tower, and Xiao Meiniang suggested that they meet in the East Palace. The prince was confused and didn't know what Xiao Meiniang was up to, but because he wanted to ask her for help, he agreed to meet her.
Xiao Meiniang followed the person sent by the prince to invite her into the East Palace. They walked along the tiled avenue, passing a garden and a pond. There was a pavilion in the middle of the pond. A woman was sitting in the pavilion with two maids standing beside her. The woman was wearing a light blue dress with flowing skirt and graceful figure.
Xiao Meiniang couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "What a beautiful person!"
As if the woman felt someone was watching her, she turned around. She had curved eyebrows, skin as white as cream, a straight nose and a cherry mouth. Looking down, it turned out that she was a pregnant woman. From the back, you couldn't tell that she was pregnant. Such a beautiful woman should be the Crown Princess. Seeing her today was worth it for me to insist on coming to the East Palace.
Xiao Meiniang thought to herself, "This Crown Princess is so beautiful, no wonder she is favored by the Crown Prince.
Xiao Meiniang smiled gently and said to the maid beside her, "Let's go and pay our respects to the Crown Princess." As she spoke, she took an elegant step and prepared to walk towards the pavilion.
The guard blocked her path and said sternly, "Master Xiao, your status does not allow you to meet the Crown Princess. Please follow me."
Xiao Meiniang smiled helplessly, not intending to argue with the guards. After all, this was their territory, so she followed them on their way. After a while, they arrived at the door of the prince's study. The guard bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, Master Xiao has been brought here."
"Please ask her to come in," the prince said as he wrote without even raising his head, still busy with his official duties.
"Yes, Master Xiao, please come in." The guard made a gesture of invitation and then opened the door sideways.
Xiao Meiniang took light lotus steps and slowly stepped into the prince's study: "Meiniang pays respect to His Highness."
The prince put down the pen in his hand, stood up and said, "Master Xiao, please stand up quickly and sit here."
Xiao Meiniang sat down after the Crown Prince sat down. The Crown Prince personally poured Xiao Meiniang a cup of tea. Xiao Meiniang smiled and said, "I wonder what your Highness wants me to come here for today?"
"To be honest with you, Master Xiao, I asked you to come here today to ask for a favor. Is that possible?" The prince said gently but seriously.
Xiao Meiniang smiled slightly, a sly look flashing in her eyes: "Your Highness, you are too kind. Please feel free to tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
The prince nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face: "That's very good.
Xiao Meiniang continued, "The fact that Xiaohuang Tower has been able to stand firm in the capital over the years is entirely due to Your Highness's care. I wonder what Your Highness needs from Meiniang?"
The prince frowned slightly, his expression becoming serious. "I asked you to come here today to help me find someone. This person is very important to me. If I can't find him, I'm afraid it will bring me a lot of trouble."
After hearing this, Xiao Meiniang's eyes became sharp. She knew the seriousness of the matter very well. "Your Highness, rest assured. I will do my best to help you find this person. However, do you have any relevant information or clues about this person?"
The prince nodded, took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Meiniang: "This is some basic information and characteristics about this person. I hope it will be helpful to you."
Xiao Meiniang took the paper, read the words on it carefully, and then put it away: "Thank you, Your Highness. I will help you find this person as soon as possible."
The prince nodded again, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Then I'll leave it to you, Master Xiao. This matter is of great importance, so I hope you'll keep it a secret."
Xiao Meiniang smiled and responded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do."
After saying this, she turned and left, but there was a fleeting lingering look in her eyes, so fleeting that the prince didn't notice. After Xiao Meiniang left, the prince sat alone in his study, lost in thought...
Jiang Meiyu, with her big belly, slowly returned to the inner hall, ready to take a short rest. At this moment, a cheerful voice was heard, and then the little princess rushed in like a gust of wind. Without even waiting for the maids to announce it, she ran straight into Jiang Meiyu's bedroom and shouted loudly: "Sister Yu, I'm here!"
Jiang Meiyu showed a gentle smile on her face and said softly, "That's easy. Come and sit here. Sister has a gift for you."
Upon hearing this, the little princess' eyes lit up, and she immediately ran over excitedly to sit next to Jiang Meiyu, and asked curiously, "Sister, what's the gift?"
Jiang Meiyu picked up a small and exquisite sachet from the pillow and handed it to the little princess, saying lovingly, "This is a sachet that I made for you personally. It contains some herbs that can repel mosquitoes and refresh your mind. Try it on and see if it fits you well."
The little princess happily took the sachet and carefully tied it around her waist. Then she looked at Jiang Meiyu innocently and asked, "Sister, does this look good?"
Jiang Meiyu gently stroked her hair and replied with a smile, "Of course, it's very beautiful. We are already beautiful, and this sachet is the icing on the cake."
Hearing Jiang Meiyu's praise, the little princess was filled with joy and lay down on Jiang Meiyu's belly again, listening carefully to the baby's movements. After a while, she raised her head, smiled sweetly at Jiang Meiyu, and said obediently: "Thank you sister for the sachet!"
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto the bed. Jiang Meiyu slowly opened her eyes and stretched. She looked out the window, happily thinking about what interesting things would happen today. At this moment, Ziyan gently opened the door and walked in, reminding Jiang Meiyu, "Your Majesty, the Madam and the Second Miss are coming to visit you today. They may be here soon. Let me help you wash up first."
