Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Chapter 110 In the Courtyard

Shuang'er walked out of the room. There were two little girls from the Zuo family, Mingluo and Mingyu, standing at the door. The two little girls were a little curious when they saw Sister Shuang'er coming out of the house.

"Sister Shuang'er, what are you doing...?"

"I'll go check out the surroundings so that our young lady can get familiar with Prince Yun's Mansion as soon as possible. You two wait at the door. If the young lady needs help, you two should be smart!"

"Don't worry, Sister Shuang'er, we will definitely protect the young lady!"

Mingluo is more outgoing and can join in the conversation. Mingyu is quiet and stands obediently at the side.

Shuang'er walked out of the courtyard, looking around all the time. Just now, when she sent the young lady back to the house, she was busy helping her to pay attention to her feet, and did not look around carefully. Now, she couldn't help but sigh that the Yunwang Mansion was indeed incomparable to the Zuo Mansion. The landscaping in the courtyard alone was worth a lot of money. From the brick and tile carved windows of the house, the bluestone and fine sand on the path, to the rockery in the corner of the courtyard and the stone carvings beside the gate, just one courtyard was so exquisite.

"It seems that the prince is very concerned about the young lady~"

As a maid, the glory of the master is my own glory. If the prince cares about his young lady, my status in the palace will be much higher.

When Shuang'er left the yard, she saw two people dressed as guards guarding the gate, which scared her.

"Two big brothers, have you been guarding here all the time?"

The two guards saw Shuang'er helping the concubine on the left side in just now, and they recognized her.

"Miss Shuang'er, right? There are guards at the entrances of each courtyard in the palace, some fixed and some mobile, to protect the palace."

The guard said this with a smile on his face. He was tall and strong, standing there straight. He looked very imposing. In addition, he was smiling at Shuang'er, which made her a little dazed for a moment.

"Shuang'er girl?"

Another guard reminded her, and Shuang'er then realized that she had become infatuated with him. She quickly pretended to be calm to cover up her panic.

"We just entered the mansion today, so we don't know much about the situation inside."

"What do you want to know, Miss Shuang'er? We are just a small guard in the palace and we don't know much."

When Shuang'er heard this, she became even more nervous.

"No, no, no, don't misunderstand me, brothers. I just want to know how far our courtyard is from the prince's study. After all, my daughter is marrying Prince Yun, and she will always have to send some food and other things to the prince in the future. So I came to inquire in advance to avoid other troubles due to unfamiliarity with the route."

The two guards looked at each other, and then one of them spoke.

"The courtyard where the concubine lives on the left is located in the southeast of the palace, the courtyard where the prince lives is to the north, and to the west are the wing rooms for guests."

The guard just said a few simple words, and Shuang'er nodded. She wanted to ask something else, but when she saw the two guards were staring at her, she didn't ask any more.

"Thank you, brothers~"

After saying thank you, Shuang'er turned around and went back to the courtyard. After turning back, she was still thinking in her heart that the guards in Prince Yun's Mansion were really strict. Then she told her young lady all the news she had received.

But what Shuang'er didn't know was that there were no guards in the Yun Palace before. There were only twelve guards in the palace. The extra guards in the palace now were selected from the army that Mr. Ying mentioned before. The purpose was to prevent bad people from sneaking into the palace after marriage and causing trouble, so even a single guard looked very imposing.

Zuo Xin didn't get the news she wanted, and was obviously dissatisfied. The glass tassels around her veil were jingling. Shuang'er could feel her mistress' dissatisfaction through the veil.

"Is that all you have found out? Where does Wei Changmei live? Isn't her courtyard closer to the prince's?"

"this..."

Shuang'er couldn't answer.

"So what did you do?"

Zuo Xin was so anxious that she almost wanted to pull the veil off her head again. Shuang'er looked at her and quickly held it down.

"Miss, calm down! Because there are guards at the gate, I can't go out to check. I can only ask the guards some simple questions. But after tonight, you will be able to leave this yard tomorrow. It won't be too late to inquire then. So there is no need to rush!"

After hearing what Shuang'er said, Zuo Xin gave up the attempt to lift the veil.

"Yes, I have already married into Prince Yun's Mansion. There is still a long way to go, so there is no need to rush now!"

And on the other side——

After Wei Changmei sat down, he also took off the veil on his head.

"Miss! You can't take off this veil~"

Her maid was about to stop her, but Wei Changmei held her hand.

"It doesn't matter. His Royal Highness Prince Yun will not come to my place tonight."

Before coming, her grandfather had already told her why Prince Yun said he loved her in the hall. Although this also meant that she would never meet her beloved in the future, His Highness Prince Yun had saved her from another cage.

"Miss, you don't have to belittle yourself. In my opinion, the young lady of the Zuo family is just so-so, not as gentle and virtuous as our young lady. His Royal Highness Prince Yun is a man who has seen big occasions after all, although he knows that the mistress of the house should choose a virtuous person."

"You~ all you know is to say these things all day long. Since you know that a wife should be gentle and virtuous, you don't even try to control your temper. Be careful that you may end up not being able to marry the person you love~"

After hearing what the young lady said, the maid's face instantly turned red with shame.

"Miss, don't talk nonsense. Yan Xin will serve you for the rest of your life!"

The two chatted and laughed in the house. After a while, Wei Changmei asked the two maids standing outside to come in. These three girls grew up with him and were chosen by his grandfather. In addition to Yan Xin, the other two were named Er Xin and Bi Xin. Wei Changmei thought that since His Royal Highness Prince Yun would not come back, he asked the three of them to start sorting out the things they brought from the Wei Mansion.

Unexpectedly, while the three of them were playing and tidying up in front of the young lady, they suddenly heard the sound of a door being pushed open. Before the four of them could react, they saw a handsome man in a red robe, who looked as handsome as Pan An, standing at the door. Wei Changmei's heart skipped a beat at that moment. She admitted that His Royal Highness Prince Yun was too handsome, especially in this groom's outfit, which made him look even more beautiful than last time. The maids on the side were also stunned when they saw His Royal Highness Prince Yun, and then they hurriedly knelt down.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Cloud King!"

"..."

When Xiao Zuochen stepped into the yard, he heard laughter and chatter in the house. Why did everyone fall silent as soon as he came in?

"cloud..."

Wei Changmei originally wanted to call him His Royal Highness Prince Yun, but she felt that was a bit stiff. Calling him husband was too frivolous, so after thinking for a second, she decided to call him Prince.

"Your Majesty...I thought you wouldn't come, so I asked them to pack up..."

The more Wei Changmei spoke, the lower her voice became, because she didn't expect that His Royal Highness Prince Yun would really come. She was now unsure what His Royal Highness Prince Yun's attitude towards her was.

Xiao Zuochen also realized that his appearance made the four masters and servants nervous. He coughed lightly and spoke slowly.

"Don't be nervous. I came here just to tell you that I won't be staying over tonight, so you should go to bed early. Master Wei told me that you are not feeling well. I will send you some more help tomorrow. Just tell the servants to do anything you need."

Wei Changmei was slightly surprised, but quickly thanked Xiao Zuochen.

Xiao Zuochen waved his hand.

"Don't thank me. After all, I was the one who dragged you into this situation first. I should be the one to apologize."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Xiao Zuochen walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and added to the three maids on the ground.

"Every day, your young lady will go to the palace to see the emperor. Before going to bed, prepare the clothes you will wear tomorrow. Concubine Yun likes plain clothes. Remember?"

"Yes, I will remember this!"
