Haitang: "But..."
Yu Rou feigned anger and said, "If you keep talking, don't come out with me next time."
Haitang immediately covered her mouth and shook her head.
Yu Rou lowered the curtain and waited for the prince to get on the carriage and leave. Then she asked Haitang to borrow paper and pen from the servant.
She quickly wrote a few paragraphs, and when the ink dried, she folded the paper and asked Haitang to give it to the servant.
Haitang asked, "Miss, what are you writing?"
Yu Rou said, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Haitang exclaimed, "Ah!" Why didn't she understand even after I told her? Am I that stupid?
She pursed her lips, got off the car and gave the paper and pen to the little servant.
"My daughter asked you to pass it on to Mr. Guhe. We will visit again another day."
When Haitang returned to the carriage, Yu Rou said, "Okay, let's go."
Haitang: "Are we leaving now?"
Yu Rou said with a smile: "What else? Haven't you been urging me to go back?"
On the way back, Haitang couldn't help but ask, "Miss, why didn't you call the Crown Prince when you saw him just now?"
Yu Rou said nonchalantly, "What do you want him to do?"
Haitang was stunned. What else could she do? He was her fiancé.
"Miss, don't you miss His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? During the days you were sick, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent you a lot of things."
"I want to dress up beautifully and see him again in a few days." Yu Rou said casually.
Haitang immediately believed it and complimented her, "But the young lady is beautiful every day. I am mesmerized every morning when I see her. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must also be eager to see her."
Yu Rou laughed, "You silly girl, do you really think the Crown Prince misses me?"
"Of course, he sends supplements and silks to the girl every day." Haitang nodded as a matter of course.
Yu Rou's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "That's nothing. It's just a perfunctory order to the servants."
"Ah?" Haitang widened her eyes in surprise, "But..."
"But what?" Yu Rou boredly lifted the window curtain and looked at the bustling street outside.
"But the prince obviously likes the girl very much. Didn't the girl say so herself a few days ago?" Haitang frowned, a little confused.
"But he didn't even come to see me when I was sick. Didn't you read what's written in those notebooks? Men are fickle. He might have fallen in love with someone else." Yu Rou patted Haitang's head. "Next time you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't be so excited. He might change his mind one day and the engagement will be cancelled."
Haitang opened her mouth wide when she heard this, and said in surprise, "Girl, don't scare me."
"Okay, just remember what I said." Seeing that she was scared to death, Yu Rou's mood somehow improved.
…
After a few days, it was time to enter the palace.
Sanniang fell ill last night, and to avoid infecting the nobles in the palace, Old Lady Yu ordered her not to go, so only Yu Rou, Yu Ting and Yu Si entered the palace to attend the banquet.
Entering the palace is not a trivial matter. The etiquette in the palace is complicated, but you have to follow the rules of the palace. Even the clothes you wear and the jewelry you wear have to be paid attention to, and you must not violate any taboos.
Yu Rou was helped by the maids to change her clothes early in the morning. It took her half an hour. She only came out of the room when Yu Ting and Yu Si could not wait any longer and came to find her.
She was wearing a scarlet satin jacket with a pattern of flowers and butterflies, and had her hair styled in double buns, which made her look delicate and pretty. She pinned a lavender Daphne flower to her ear, which looked stunning at first glance, but comfortable and not too flashy when you looked closely. She put some sweet honey behind her ear, which, combined with her natural peach blossom fragrance, was lingering and very beautiful.
When Yu Ting and Yu Si saw her, their eyes widened.
Especially Yu Ting, blushing and saying, "Sister Rou is so beautiful."
Yu Si also followed suit and praised.
Yu Rou smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go."
This palace banquet invited young unmarried men and women from prominent families in the court, so none of the elders in the family were accompanying them. The carriages were waiting at the Chuihua Gate. The three sisters each sat in two carriages, accompanied by their personal maids, and drove all the way to the palace gate.
The aunt in the palace had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw the carriage with the Yu family's brand, she immediately came to greet it.
After some pleasantries, Yu Rou asked Haitang to give her aunt a few gold leaves, and then her aunt led them into the palace. Yu Rou and the others followed her closely, and she led them to the imperial garden in the palace.
The palace is so huge that no matter where you go, you have to take a long detour. The original owner had only been here twice. If he hadn't followed someone, he would have gotten lost.
It was Yu Ting's first time here, and her face flushed with excitement. She whispered to Yu Rou, "Sister Rou, the palace is so beautiful."
"Shh, don't talk yet." Yu Rou shook her head at her and spoke in a low voice.
Yu Ting pursed her lips, made a gesture of closing her mouth, and nodded obediently.
Yu Rou quickly glanced at Yu Si, only to see that she was calm and composed, with her brows lowered, quite different from Yu Ting. Yu Rou smiled to herself and quickly looked away.
The Imperial Garden, the rear garden of the Da'an Dynasty's imperial palace, is awash in breathtaking scenery, featuring jagged rocks, beautiful flowers and trees, and fragrant grasses. It boasts numerous terraces, pavilions, and pavilions, each with an elegant name.
There is a Mirror Lake in the Imperial Garden, which is very beautiful. It is connected by four bridges and has three water pavilions in the middle. It looks very spacious when connected together and can accommodate fifty or sixty people.
Perhaps it was because she had received benefits from Yu Rou, or because Yu Rou was now engaged to the prince and might very well be the future princess or queen, that aunt was particularly enthusiastic towards them and kept talking all the way.
