Chapter 138 Stepping In
After Yinzhen had a quarrel with Yinsi, he ordered Su Peisheng, who was following him, to leave.
"Master, let me follow you." Su Peisheng looked at his dejected master in embarrassment.
Yinzhen glared at Su Peisheng, "Why, don't you understand what I said?"
"Master, but..."
Before Su Peisheng could finish, Yinzhen interrupted him, "That's enough, I don't want to hear it."
"If you turn a deaf ear to my request to leave, you don't have to follow me anymore."
Su Peisheng retreated again and again, "Slave...slave will leave now."
Yinzhen kept staring at Su Peisheng as he walked away, and then he walked aimlessly by himself.
He didn't know where to go either.
In his distraction, he did not notice that Su Peisheng, who had just walked away, was far behind him, following him closely.
If Su Peisheng really let his master go alone, he would be risking his life.
Yinzhen originally planned to go to the Imperial Garden, but as he was strolling around, he arrived at the gate of Chengqian Palace without knowing when.
The Chengqian Palace, which was bustling in the past, is now closed even during the day, no longer as glorious as it was when Queen Tong Jia was in power.
In just one year, Chengqian Palace seemed to have disappeared from the Forbidden City.
Yinzhen stopped and looked at the palace gate in front of him. He knew that if he knocked on the palace gate at this moment, someone would open it for him.
But he also understood that if he knocked on the door of Chengqian Palace, Khan Ama would be unhappy and his aunt would also be in a difficult situation.
His aunt was very kind to him and he didn't want to make things difficult for her.
Emotion and reason were pulling at each other, and Yinzhen finally put down his raised hand.
He continued walking forward.
Not seeing Su Peisheng behind him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the master did not knock on the palace gate, otherwise he might not be able to stop it with his small body. He had already foreseen himself crying while hugging his master.
Not bad, not bad.
Su Peisheng put his heart back in his stomach for the time being.
He continued to follow stealthily. Fortunately, he had many opportunities to show up beside Yinzhen, otherwise he would have been arrested.
Before he knew it, Yinzhen had arrived at the gate of Yonghe Palace.
At this moment, Jinzhu was going to the Imperial Household Department on the orders of Concubine De to get new clothes for the Thirteenth Prince.
"Fourth Prince?" Jinzhu had never thought that she would actually meet the Fourth Prince in Yonghe Palace one day. She shouted out in surprise.
He hurriedly ran out of Yonghe Palace, and when he ran in front of Yinzhen, he found that Yinzhen's face was not looking good, so he restrained his joy.
"I am Jinzhu, who works for Consort De." Jinzhu introduced herself. "Where are you going, Fourth Prince? Why don't you go to Yonghe Palace and have a cup of tea and rest your feet?"
Yinzhen frowned. He didn't understand why this maid was so enthusiastic towards him. Didn't she need to tell Concubine De before inviting him in so openly?
Jinzhu seemed to feel that her words were a bit far-fetched, and hurriedly said, "The Thirteenth Prince was just talking about you and said he missed you. Fourth Prince, do you want to go and see him?"
This is false. Unless Concubine De brought it up on her own initiative, Yinxiang didn't like to mention anyone in Yonghe Palace.
But after hearing this, Yinzhen's brows relaxed and he also thought of his thirteenth brother who was alone that day.
Forget it, he has nowhere to go anyway, so he might as well go and see his Thirteenth Brother.
"In that case, you lead the way."
"Yes, yes, yes, Fourth Prince, please follow me." Jinzhu tried her best to suppress the joy that was welling up in her heart and replied calmly.
That’s great. Now the queen should be happy.
Jinzhu brought Yinzhen into Yonghe Palace as she wished. After the two of them entered, Jinzhu secretly made a gesture behind Yinzhen's back, indicating to the eunuch guarding the gate to close the door and not allow anyone to come in or out, so as not to disturb the reunion of the Empress and the Fourth Prince.
Stepping into the Yonghe Palace, Yinzhen subconsciously observed the surrounding environment. Unlike the grandeur of the Chengqian Palace and the liveliness of the Yongshou Palace, the Yonghe Palace gave people a feeling of elegance.
To be honest, the display of furnishings in Yonghe Palace was most in line with Yinzhen's aesthetic taste. At least as soon as he walked in, he felt that the palace was pleasing to the eye, and he also had a better impression of the owner of the palace.
Yinzhen was not familiar with Defei. After all, when his mother was still alive, she had particularly disliked Defei and had repeatedly told him to stay as far away from her as possible.
I wish the two of them and Concubine De could not breathe under the same sky.
Thinking of his mother, Yinzhen's cold expression softened a little. Jinzhu had been secretly observing Yinzhen's expression, fearing that he would show some dissatisfaction. After all, this was carefully arranged by the Empress after she had learned about the Fourth Prince's preferences.
Yinzhen naturally noticed that Jinzhu had been looking at him, but since she was just a servant, he let her look as she pleased.
Therefore, Yinzhen accepted Jinzhu's sudden words well.
"Fourth Prince, what do you think of our Yonghe Palace?"
"Empress Defei's aesthetic taste is naturally good." Yinzhen didn't say much, and he didn't follow Jinzhu's thoughts to open the conversation.
After all, he is an outsider, so what's the big deal about him commenting on the Yonghe Palace?
Jinzhu led Yinzhen to the rear hall of Yonghe Palace.
"Where is Thirteenth Brother?" Yinzhen couldn't help but ask. After all, it didn't look like this was a place for Thirteenth Brother to live.
"Please be patient, Fourth Prince. We will be here soon."
At this moment, Su Peisheng, who was stopped outside the gate of Yonghe Palace, felt like the sky was falling.
What did that servant say to the Fourth Prince just now? Why did the Fourth Prince follow her in?
This...this...what should he do?
"How dare you! Do you recognize who I am? Did you see the Fourth Prince who just came in? The Fourth Prince and I are together! Why don't you let me in?"
The two eunuchs guarding the gate looked at each other, and one of them said, "Eunuch Su, I'm so sorry, how about you wait here?"
They had just entered the palace not long ago, so they were sent to guard the gate. Naturally, they didn't know about the grudge between the deceased Queen Tongjia and Concubine De. They just obeyed orders obediently.
Su Peisheng looked at the two stubborn eunuchs in front of him and pointed at them. "Okay, I, your Grandpa Su, will remember you. Don't let me catch you!"
After Su Peisheng made these harsh remarks, he turned and left.
"Eunuch Su, take care."
Su Peisheng puffed out his chest and raised his head, striding out of the Yonghe Palace.
It was not until he turned a corner that he could not help but clench his fists and turn around in circles.
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Oh, if I had known this would happen, I would have let the Fourth Prince enter Chengqian Palace.
There was a reason why Su Peisheng was so anxious at this moment. As a young eunuch who had served Yinzhen since childhood, if nothing unexpected happened, he would follow the Fourth Prince for the rest of his life.
