"Hmm? He entered the palace?" Nalan Youyou looked at the butler in surprise. This was really strange. Why did he suddenly call him into the palace so late at night? Did something happen?
Nalan Youyou couldn't figure out what was going on.
In fact, these things were only done by Beiming Gu. When he heard that Beiming Ye had gone to the Nalan residence, Beiming Gu did not know what he was thinking. He entered the palace and deliberately found trouble to bring Beiming Ye along. Now, Beiming Ye was invited to the palace for tea by the emperor. He drank until midnight before returning to the manor.
However, Beiming Gu was very particular about how he spoke, so Beiming Ye knew that Beiming Gu was deliberately finding fault with him today, but he couldn't find any excuse or reason. It really made him speechless. He could only suppress his anger and return to his mansion to throw a tantrum.
He had completely forgotten about Nalan Youyou. Nalan Youyou, on the other hand, had a rare quiet night.
This was only because Beiming Ye did not come. At midnight, a vigorous black figure kept jumping on the roof of the Nalan residence. The figure did not stay in the other parts of the Nalan residence and ran directly to Nalan Youyou's courtyard.
The black shadow landed in Nalan Youyou's courtyard. It was already late at night, and the courtyard was silent. The black shadow paused between the treetops for a moment before directly rushing towards Nalan Youyou's room.
The figure nimbly landed in Nalan Youyou's room. The figure slowly walked to Nalan Youyou's bedside and looked at the person sleeping soundly on the bed with a gentle gaze.
The person who was sleeping on the bed frowned slightly, as if there was a strange gaze that she could not ignore in her dream.
However, his gaze was not aggressive at all, so Nalan Youyou just turned over and continued to sleep. When Beiming Gu saw Nalan Youyou move, he thought that she would wake up soon. He did not expect her to turn over and fall asleep again. Beiming Gu smiled helplessly and tucked Nalan Youyou in. After sitting by the bed for a while, Nalan Youyou turned around and left.
"Ah, you slept really well." Nalan Youyou stretched. Although her actions were a little indecent, it was extremely pleasing to the eye when Nalan Youyou did it. Yueyi heard a voice in the room and quickly came in with a glass of water. She happened to see Nalan Youyou's disgraceful moment.
Yue Yi laughed." Miss, you're really something. If Master finds out that you don't care about your image, he'll probably scold you again."”
"It's fine. Didn't you say that if I didn't say anything, who would know?”Nalan Youyou chuckled and elegantly sat up from the bed. She looked at Yueyi and said,"How is Yuejun now?"
"Last night, after Young Lady returned safely, she was willing to apply the medicine. She is still sleeping. If she recuperates well, she will be as good as new in less than half a month. Now, I have already asked Yueyan to stay by Yuejun's side.”Yueyi looked at Nalan Youyou happily. She had seen Nalan Youyou treat them so well yesterday, so she was a little concerned.
In fact, Yuejun and Yueyi were both Nalan Youyou's more intimate girls. However, in her previous life, Yueyi had sought refuge with Nalan Jingjing because she saw that she was weak. However, she had pretended to be friendly and often reminded Nalan Youyou to be careful of Nalan Jingjing when she was with Nalan Jingjing.
At that time, Nalan Youyou felt that this servant girl was trying to sow discord and accidentally told Nalan Jingjing about this matter. Not long after that, Yueyi disappeared. At that time, Nalan Youyou did not care much about it, so she did not think about it. Now, it seemed that the disappearance of Yueyi in her previous life must have had a lot to do with Nalan Jingjing.
"Yueyi, get ready. We'll go pay our respects to the old madam.”According to the rules of the Celestial Empire, their children had to pay their respects to the old madam every morning. If the old madam was not around, they would pay their respects to the mistress of the household.
Yueyi nodded and quickly cleaned up Nalan Youyou to prepare the food. After Nalan Youyou finished eating, she led Yueyi to the old madam's Jin garden.
Before Nalan Youyou reached the courtyard, she heard bursts of laughter coming from the courtyard. The corners of Nalan Youyou's mouth curled up slightly. She liked this Nalan residence very much. However, in her previous life, she was harmed by Nalan Jingjing, this ingrate. Thinking of this, Nalan Youyou stopped in her tracks, and her gaze disappeared in an instant.
Yueyi, who was standing beside Nalan Youyou, only felt Nalan Youyou pause for a moment. She thought that Nalan Youyou was afraid of the old madam. Yueyi did not say anything and only held Nalan Youyou's hand slightly to make Nalan Youyou feel more at ease.
Nalan Youyou felt Yueyi's kindness. She looked at Yueyi, smiled, patted Yueyi's hand, and led the group in. "Nalan Youyou greets Old Madam. Old Madam is in good health.”
"Humph! Antai! It's already good enough that my old bones haven't been angered to death by you. How can I be safe?!" Seeing Nalan Youyou kneeling in the middle, Nalan Youyou did not get up. Her dead fish eyes glared at Nalan Youyou fiercely, and her chest heaved up and down in anger.
Yueyi, who was standing behind Nalan Youyou, broke out in a cold sweat for Nalan Youyou. She didn't believe it when Yuejun told her how badly the old madam treated the young miss. Now, it seemed that she had some opinions, and it seemed that her opinions were not light.
Yueyi looked at Nalan Youyou worriedly, afraid that Nalan Youyou would be hurt again today.
"Old Madam, you must be joking. Youyou is Old Madam's granddaughter. Naturally, she hopes that Old Madam will be safe and sound.”Nalan Youyou knelt on the ground and did not move. She only smiled calmly when she heard the old lady's words.
"Eldest Sister is wrong. Second Prince came to propose marriage and Eldest Sister directly rejected it without thinking. Where is Second Prince's face? If you reject the old madam's request, what would you do to the old madam's reputation?”Nalan Yanwan was not willing to fall behind Nalan Youyou, especially after the Second Prince had personally come to propose marriage. Nalan Yanwan saw this and remembered it in her heart. Her hatred for Nalan Youyou gradually rose. She hated the fact that the Second Prince's marriage proposal wasn't with her. If it was with her, she would have immediately agreed. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
However, Nalan Youyou didn't even mention her name. If she did, she didn't believe that the Second Prince wouldn't even think about it.
Nalan Youyou glanced at Nalan Jingjing and smiled indifferently without much expression."Third Older Sister's words are wrong. Our Heavenly Empire has a rule that all the officials in our court have the right to decide their own marriage. Even family members are not allowed to interfere. If you listen to Old Furen's words, wouldn't that be telling outsiders that our Nalan Residence is openly opposing the imperial power? Wouldn't that put our Nalan family in an extremely disadvantageous position? If the Emperor finds out, wouldn't it bring disaster to our Nalan Residence?”
Nalan You You's words were spoken in a polite manner, causing everyone present to inhale a breath of cold air. It would be fine if this matter was only a family matter. However, if this matter was raised to the imperial power, no one in the Nalan Residence would dare to say anything.
Nalan Youyou was the empress of a generation in her previous life, so she was naturally quite clear about the law. No one in the current Nalan residence could compare to her.
Yueyi looked at the old madam in shock as if she had eaten a fly. Her mouth opened slightly. When did this young miss become so powerful? Why didn't she know about it?
"Big sister, your mouth is really amazing. You can actually drag such a small matter onto the emperor.”Nalan Yanwan had a look of disdain on her face. Wasn't this just a small matter, yet she was still talking about the imperial power.
Hearing Nalan Yanwan's words, the old madam's face immediately darkened and she shouted angrily: "Shut up! Youyou, hurry up and get up. Don't kneel.”The old lady quickly changed her expression and looked at Nalan Youyou kindly. The old madam's appearance made Yueyi involuntarily click her tongue. She had just called out to him in disgust, but now she was fine. Moreover, the young miss had been kneeling on the ground for so long. Why didn't she see it? Did she only see it now?
However, Yueyi only dared to think about these words in her heart. How could she dare to say them out loud? He reached out and helped Nalan Youyou up. Nalan Youyou stood up and sat opposite the Second Mistress. The Second Mistress was a little annoyed when she saw Nalan Youyou's calm expression. She had spent more than 100,000 taels of silver to get the old lady to speak up for her. Now, she was suddenly giving Nalan Youyou a good look.
Then wouldn't her hundred thousand taels of silver go down the drain? Nalan Youyou looked at Zhuang Huaijin, whose expression was a little ugly, and smiled provocatively. However, her expression disappeared so quickly that Zhuang Huaijin thought that she was seeing things. "Old Madam, look at this Youyou girl. She's getting prettier and prettier. Besides, Youyou is already fourteen or fifteen years old. It's time for her to find a husband. Youyou, do you have someone you like?"
Hearing this, Nalan Youyou gave Zhuang Huaijin a meaningful look. This was not an easy answer. Yueyi stood behind Nalan Youyou and broke out in a cold sweat for Nalan Youyou. If Nalan Youyou admitted that she had someone she liked, wouldn't that mean that Nalan Youyou was indecent?!
The Second Mistress was really ruthless. If she were to be labeled as such, Nalan Youyou's reputation would be tarnished, let alone her marriage. Not only would she not be able to marry into a good family, she would probably not even be able to be the first wife. Her current title as a female official would also be taken back.
"That's right big sister. If big sister has someone she likes, you must tell your younger sisters. Then, younger sister will definitely plead with Old Furen for big sister to agree to big sister's marriage. If not, then big sister can also consider the second prince.”Nalan Jingjing sat at the side and covered her mouth as she laughed lightly. If Nalan Youyou did not admit it, then she would link her with the Second Prince. If she admitted it, then it would be even more beautiful.#
