The day after receiving the order, Yan Zhi dressed up and entered the palace.
The queen received her, said some words of praise, and gave her gifts.
"How long do you plan to stay in Beijing this time, Miss Yan?"
Yan Zhi smiled sweetly, "It depends on the situation."
The queen said politely, "If Miss Yan has nothing to do, you can come to the palace to talk to me, or you can play with the princesses."
"Thank you, Queen, for your love."
"The royal concubine has arrived!"
While they were chatting, the imperial concubine came in dressed with jewels to pay her respects to the queen.
The imperial concubine doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace when she has nothing to do, and rarely sets foot here.
The queen raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why is my sister free to come here today?"
The imperial concubine looked at Yan Zhi beside her. She was very satisfied with her appearance and demeanor. She smiled and said, "Is this Miss Yan?"
Yan Zhi immediately stood up to say hello, "I've met the imperial concubine."
The imperial concubine helped her up personally, "Girls don't need to be polite. The Yan family's family education is well-known, and the girl really has extraordinary temperament."
Faced with Concubine Lu's compliment, Yan Zhi just smiled indifferently and acted very magnanimously.
Concubine Lu looked at her more and more highly.
Concubine Lu couldn't wait to inquire about the Yan family's situation in front of the Queen.
The queen was upset when she heard this and coughed, "I am tired today. Since your concubine and Miss Yan are so close to each other, why not invite Miss Yan to your palace?"
These words played into the imperial concubine's wish, and the imperial concubine couldn't wait to say, "Then I will have more concubines."
Watching the two people leave, the female officer couldn't help but said, "The imperial concubine is a little too impatient, unlike her usual style."
The Queen took a bite of the snack and said in a good mood, "My favor is no longer there, and the Sixth Prince is obviously so bad in the court that His Majesty suppressed him. Seeing that he is getting further and further away from that position, it is strange that she is not in a hurry."
The nanny on the side said, "She has been so majestic for so long, and now she is."
The queen smiled and said nothing. In this mysterious post-official life, the queen was the most comfortable in her life.
After years of forbearance and hard work, he won the respect of the emperor and firmly took the throne of the harem.
I don’t love the emperor, so I don’t care who he favors.
He has no daughters or children, so he does not participate in the disputes over imperial power and does not worry about it.
Sure enough, to live comfortably in the harem, you must be sober enough.
Yan Zhi and Concubine Lu went to Chaoyang Palace, and Concubine Lu was very kind to her from beginning to end.
Yan Zhi also smiled and spoke neither condescendingly nor arrogantly.
Yan Zhi drank a cup of tea and looked at the sky outside, "It's time for me to say goodbye, it's getting late."
The imperial concubine laughed and said, "We were chatting so happily that I lost track of time."
"The Sixth Prince has arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sixth prince walked in grandly and greeted Concubine Lu gracefully, "I have met my mother's concubine."
Concubine Lu's smile became gentler, "Jia'er is here, sit down."
The mother and son chatted for a few words about daily life, while Yan Zhi sat aside and said nothing.
After a while, Concubine Lu said, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot that Miss Yan should leave the palace."
Then he said to the Sixth Prince, "It's time for you to leave the palace, so please take Miss Yan out on the way."
The Sixth Prince responded and said to Yan Zhi, "Miss Yan, please."
Yan Zhi bowed and left.
The sixth prince was basically the one taking the initiative to chat along the way, and Yan Zhi answered every question with a lukewarm attitude.
When they arrived outside the palace gate, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but said, "Miss Yan has just arrived in the capital. If you have any needs, just ask me."
Yan Zhi smiled politely and said, "Thank you, Sixth Prince."
As soon as they got into the car, the smile on Yan Zhi's face disappeared immediately.
Zilan looked at her face and said cautiously, "Both the imperial concubine and the sixth prince seem to be very kind to the young lady."
Yan Zhi sneered, "The fact that they are so eager to do so further proves that the Lu family is currently weak."
Moreover, the Sixth Prince already had his concubines and concubines, so it was impossible for her to wrong herself.
What she wants is to share the world, so it is natural for her to choose this person carefully.
Zi Lan clasped her fingers and said, "If the sixth prince can't do it, then the fourth prince who has been in the limelight recently is the fourth prince, but the fourth prince's family background is not good."
Yan Zhi chuckled lightly and said, "It's better if your family background is not good enough."
In this way, you will be more patient with her and give her a greater say.
And as far as she knew, the fourth prince was very clean around him.
Yanzhi's balance favored the fourth prince, and soon someone handed her a pillow.
The Prince's Mansion, which had always had no relationship with the emperor, held a banquet, and Yan Zhi was among the invited guests.
Lu Yu, who had just recovered from illness, also participated.
The prince's youngest daughter, the Princess of Anle County, took great care of Yan Zhi and said she would take her to see flowers.
As a result, as soon as I walked into the back garden, I saw a man in white standing in the pavilion facing the wind.
Yan Zhi looked at the male protagonist's cold side face and her heartbeat was a little fast.
The Lord of Anle County shouted happily, "Fourth brother."
Lu Yu turned around and smiled lightly, "Why are you here?"
There was a blush on Yan Zhi's face, and Lu Yu's cold and distant aura immediately attracted her.
The Lord of Anle County has always had a lively personality, so he pulled Yan Zhi and walked over, "The sister I met today is pretty, isn't she?"
Lu Yu glanced at Yan Zhi lightly and said nothing.
Yan Zhi first bowed and said hello, "I've met the fourth prince."
Lu Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.
The Lord of Anle County laughed and said a few words, then covered his mouth, "Ouch, one of my bracelets fell off."
"I'm going to look for you on my way here. Please, Sister Yan, please wait here for me for a while."
After saying that, he ran away without waiting for the two of them to speak. Don't be too deliberate.
There were only two people left here in an instant. Lu Yu had always been a man of few words and had no intention of taking the initiative to speak.
Yan Zhi followed his gaze and asked, "What are the Fourth Prince looking at?"
Lu Yu, "Just take a look."
Yanzhi:……
The conversation quickly became overwhelming. Yan Zhi didn't want to appear too hasty and didn't take the initiative to speak.
After standing for a while, Lu Yu said, "The banquet is about to start, I'll leave first."
He had absolutely no intention of inviting her to accompany him.
Yan Zhi said naturally, "Really? Then it's time for me to leave."
The two walked a few steps side by side, and Lu Yu pointed to the other side, "It's more appropriate to enter the banquet hall for ladies guests that way."
Yan Zhi endured the discomfort in her heart and said, "Thank you, Fourth Prince, for your guidance."
Turning around and walking to the other side, I didn't know who meant it, but judging from Princess Anle's actions today, it was obvious that she wanted to create opportunities for her and the fourth prince.
The fourth prince acted so calmly and indifferently that Yan Zhi didn't know whether he really didn't understand or if he understood and pretended not to understand.
In her opinion, Lu Yu was still more worthy of her bet than the Sixth Prince.
However, the fourth prince is as cold as the rumors outside, and he is not easy to get close to at first sight.
The banquet was very lively, but her relationship with Lu Yu did not get closer at all.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but after that day Lu Yu had already dreamed about his deceased mother and went out of the capital to pray in a temple.
Yan Zhi weighed it again and again and prepared to take the initiative.
