The group of people continued to walk in the strictly guarded inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace. After walking for about fifteen minutes, more and more gorgeously dressed people appeared. Each and every one of them wished they could bring the best things with them.
Yuejun, who was following behind Nalan Youyou, could not help but look around. Nalan Jingjing and Nalan Yanwan were the same. Only Nalan Youyou looked ordinary. She had already walked around the palace in her previous life. She knew every corner of the palace. There was nothing new to see in this palace.
"Miss, look, everything here is so beautiful.”Yuejun carefully tugged at Nalan Youyou's clothes and whispered.
Nalan Youyou glanced at Yuejun and reminded her in a low voice," The palace is different from other places. You can take a look, but you can't make a sound when you see anything."”
Yuejun didn't understand why Miss would say that, but she believed that as long as Miss said it, there must be a reason for it. Yuejun nodded and looked around without saying a word.
Nalan Yanwan looked at everything curiously and couldn't help but praise," Wow, this palace is really different from the rest. The red walls and golden tiles are really the home of an emperor."”
"Third Younger Sister should be careful with what you say. Just now Eldest Older Sister said that the Imperial Palace's Inner Courtyard is not like anywhere else, so you must watch your mouth.”Nalan Jingjing kindly reminded her, but the words she said made Nalan Yanwan extremely unhappy.
"Second Older Sister, don't stir up trouble here. If you have a grudge with Eldest Older Sister, just go and take revenge yourself. How can you drag an innocent person like me into this?”Although Nalan Yanwan was willful and often spoke without thinking, she still knew that Nalan Jingjing and Nalan Youyou were not on good terms. Moreover, Nalan Jingjing had wanted to use her hand to deal with Nalan Youyou many times. This was not enough to satisfy her.
Although Nalan Youyou did not pay much attention to him, she had never done anything to him, unlike Nalan Jingjing who would make fun of him whenever she had the chance.
"Third Younger Sister, don't speak nonsense. My relationship with Eldest Older Sister has always been extremely good. Third Younger Sister, don't sow discord.”Nalan Jingjing covered her mouth and chuckled. Nalan Yanwan's mouth really couldn't win against Nalan Jingjing. Moreover, Nalan Jingjing had always been good at pretending. How could Nalan Yanwan's straightforward personality be Nalan Jingjing's match? Nalan Youyou sneered in her heart as she listened to the two people bickering behind her.
Zhuang Huaijin and the old madam were walking in front of them. Their voices were not loud and they did not hear them. They just led the group of people forward.
Nalan Youyou looked around. This was the plum garden in the east corner of the imperial garden. It was said that the plum blossoms here were personally planted by the current empress, and it was also the most precious place in the imperial garden.
It was said that the Empress loved plum blossoms as much as her life. Moreover, these plum blossoms were the best of the best. Even if the current Emperor accidentally broke a branch and did not tell the Empress, the Empress would go straight to the door. This time, the banquet was held in this place. It could be seen that the Imperial Family attached great importance to this banquet.
"Oh, it's Old Madam Nalan. It's really rare.”A middle-aged woman walked up to them elegantly as they entered the garden. The old madam took a closer look and chuckled as she walked over to chat with the woman.
Zhuang Huaijin turned around and gathered the girls together. After giving them a few simple instructions, she went to talk to the people she knew.
Zhuang Huaijin had only instructed her to build a good relationship with the young ladies and not cause trouble for her.
After Zhuang Huaijin left, Nalan Jingjing often went out and naturally had many good friends. Nalan Jingjing originally wanted to pull Nalan Youyou along, but she did not go when she saw Nalan Youyou's expression that kept strangers away. He rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea. After thinking it through, he led Ro Yin to find his best friend.
Nalan Yanwan led the servant girl to the side. She didn't have many friends among these young ladies so she went to look at the flowers.
Yuejun's eyes sparkled as she looked at the blossoming plum blossoms. These plum blossoms were blooming very well. Each branch was more beautiful than the other, and each flower was more beautiful than the other. Moreover, each of them was as big as a baby's fist. They were as white as pearls and as red as blood. They were extremely beautiful.
Nalan Youyou looked at the plum blossoms in the garden and smiled. He did not forget to remind Yuejun," Yuejun, these plum blossoms were planted by the Empress herself. You must not break them. If it is broken, even my Nalan Residence will not be able to compensate.”
"Ah, so expensive." Yuejun covered her mouth in surprise and looked a little glad. She was about to fold it just now, but she quickly retracted her hand when she heard Nalan Youyou's words.
"Eldest Lady Nalan seems to be quite familiar with the Imperial Palace.”The voice of a man behind Nalan Youyou came from afar. Nalan Youyou retracted her eyebrows and a resentful look spread from her eyes.
It was him!
"Young Master must be joking. I've only heard my father mention the Plum Garden before.”Nalan Youyou suppressed all the emotions in her heart and tried her best to appear calm.
"How dare you! This is the second prince of our dynasty, please don't call him Miss Nalan wrongly.”Behind Beiming Ye, a young man dressed in eunuch clothes pointed at Nalan Youyou angrily and scolded her arrogantly.
"Little Third, don't be rude! This is the Eldest Young Miss of the Nalan Residence. He doesn't know my identity. It's not inappropriate for him to call me that.”Beiming Ye lowered his head and scolded Xiao Sanzi. Seeing that the Second Prince was speaking up for Nalan Youyou, Xiao Sanzi quickly apologized to Nalan Youyou.
"Miss Nalan, may I call you Youyou?”Beiming Ye kept trying to get close. However, she did not know that Nalan Youyou did not want to pay attention to this person at all. She looked at Beiming Ye and smiled indifferently. She was not blind to his interaction with Nalan Jingjing just now.
"Second Prince, this official's daughter does not dare to climb high.”Nalan Youyou took a step back to increase the distance between her and Beiming Ye. During this period of time, the distance between them was obvious.
Beiming Ye looked at Nalan Youyou, who was retreating, and frowned. Why was Nalan Youyou so resistant to him? Could it be that he had accidentally offended her?
Beiming Ye looked at Nalan Youyou in deep thought, but he couldn't remember how he had offended Nalan Youyou. Beiming Ye was about to take a step forward when he heard Beiming Yu's voice behind him. Beiming Ye stopped in his tracks.
"Youyou!"
Nalan Youyou's lips curled up slightly. Beiming Yu really didn't expect to meet her so coincidentally. It also saved her the trouble of being entangled with Beiming Ye.
"Ah Yu, you're here." Nalan Youyou turned her head and asked Beiming Yu with a smile. When the third brother heard Nalan Youyou call Beiming Yu Ah Yu, he was stunned. He looked at the two of them in surprise and obediently lowered his head as if he had not heard anything.
This Eldest Miss Nalan actually knew the Sixth Princess. Moreover, it seemed that their relationship was quite good.
"Yes, I definitely had to come to the Empress Dowager's birthday today. I originally wanted to wait until the banquet started, but I heard that you were also here, so I rushed over first.”Beiming Yu ran up to Nalan Youyou and held her hand affectionately. She pulled her hand with a smile and kept talking.
"Yu 'er, you're here too." As soon as Beiming Yu arrived, Beiming Ye was left alone. Beiming Ye could only greet her first. At this moment, Beiming Yu saw a man standing beside Nalan Youyou. This man was her second brother, Beiming Ye.
"Oh, so Second Brother is here too. I didn't see him just now. How was it? Do you think our Youyou is especially beautiful?”Beiming Yu looked at Beiming Ye and asked teasingly.
Beiming Ye lowered his head and looked at Nalan Youyou with a hint of emotion in his eyes." Everyone knows that Youyou is peerless in beauty.”
"I am indebted to the Second Prince for his favor.”Nalan Youyou moved closer to Beiming Yu. Beiming Yu saw Nalan Youyou's small actions and immediately understood that this Nalan lady probably didn't like her second brother.
"Big sister didn't see you just now, but I didn't expect you to be here.”
"Nalan Jingjing greets the Second Prince.”Nalan Jingjing only knew Beiming Ye, but Beiming Yu, who was standing at the side in a pale yellow dress, did not know him. Therefore, she had only seen Beiming Ye.
Originally, she didn't plan to come over so that Beiming Ye and Nalan Youyou could get along more. However, when she saw a eunuch following behind Beiming Yu, she thought that this person was probably not an ordinary person, so she quickly walked over and wanted to get closer to Beiming Yu.
"May I know who this young lady is?" Nalan Jingjing looked at Beiming Yu with a gentle face.
The little girl behind Beiming Yu stood up and shouted," How dare you! How dare you be rude to the sixth princess?" Nalan Jingjing was stunned, but she understood. So it was the current sixth princess, Beiming Yu. But when did Nalan Youyou get involved with Beiming Yu?
"Nalan Jingjing greets the sixth princess. Jingjing had never seen the Sixth Princess's face before and could not recognize her for a moment. Please forgive her, Sixth Princess.”Nalan Jingjing's words were reasonable, but it made people feel that she had a sense of propriety. But Beiming Yu frowned.
Beiming Yu was a carefree woman. Although she rarely used schemes, how could a person born in the royal family be less scheming than a woman in a deep house? Listening to Nalan Jingjing's words, she said that she didn't know him, so even if he was unhappy, he couldn't do anything to her. After all, he who didn't know was not to be blamed.
What she said was right, but the sixth princess was still a member of the royal family. Needless to say, she was proud and arrogant. Now, the feeling of being controlled by others made her quite unhappy!
"Don't blame those who don't know. Get up." Beiming Yu was full of vigor. She didn't have the easygoing and forthright attitude she had when she spoke to Nalan Youyou. She looked at Nalan Jingjing with an imposing manner without any warmth in her eyes.
Nalan Jingjing's body suddenly froze. She was somewhat surprised in her heart. Did she say something wrong? Why was Beiming Yu so cold to him? She was not as straightforward as she was to Nalan Youyou.
Nalan Youyou must have said something bad about him to the sixth princess. Otherwise, he had never seen Beiming Yu treat him so coldly. When Nalan Jingjing thought of this, her expression turned cold and her hatred for Nalan Youyou rose again.#
