I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

"What are your instructions, Prince Nanjing?" A well-behaved palace maid listened respectfully to the instructions of the person in front of her.

"Xiaofeng, go back to Runxuetang to buy some food." He sat in the shady corridor, looking at the sapling growing vigorously in the yard, and said without turning his head.

"Runxuetang? Is it the new teahouse that opened outside the palace? I heard that the food sold there is unique and sweet, which made it very popular in Youling City!" Xiaofeng's eyes lit up and his voice became louder.

An Yuyan turned her head and smiled slightly, but it made Xiaofeng feel like a spring breeze.

"Yeah." He said, "I'm going to take a nap later, so come back to me later."

After saying that, he turned around again, leaving only the full back of his head.

"Yes." Xiaofeng suppressed his excitement and quickly retreated.

Of course, it's not easy to get out of the palace for a trip, and I'm not in a hurry. Plus, this folk delicacy has been circulated in the palace for a long time. If I can go and taste it and take a look at it myself, I can talk about it with my sisters when I come back.

In the afternoon, she was satisfied and got on the carriage back to the gate of the imperial city, carrying a food box full of ice cubes.

Just as he was about to enter the palace gate, a magnificent carriage drove out, and the people inside were either rich or noble.

The carriage came at a rapid speed, raising dust taller than a person.

Xiaofeng could only quickly move aside to make way.

“So impressive!”

She was holding the lunch box and was about to continue on her way.

"Hey, hey, hey, that guy! Be careful!"

Xiaofeng heard that it was someone calling him, so he turned around and took a look.

Standing under the shade of the tree opposite was a person who looked like a palace maid, but her entire body was covered in luxurious items.

When she looked closely, she found that it was Aunt Ruyi who was beside the Queen.

It turned out that the carriage just now belonged to the Queen's family.

Because there was no ceremony for the emperor and empress to return home after their wedding, His Majesty specially allowed their families to enter the palace to meet them.

Not daring to think too much, she hurried over to pay her respects.

"Long live Aunt Ruyi!"

She was holding the food box and almost fell down while bowing. Fortunately, Ruyi helped her up. However, the lid of the food box was tilted by her elbow, revealing the crystal clear ice inside.

Before Xiaofeng had the chance to thank her, Ruyi asked, "What is this?" and she took off the lid, revealing a layer of ice.

Xiaofeng opened the middle layer as if to offer his services and brought out a porcelain cup.

"Aunt Ruyi, this is Runxuetang's bubble milk tea."

"Is this pearl milk tea?" Ruyi suddenly remembered the popular item and was about to open it.

"Aunt!" Xiao Feng called her with an embarrassed look on his face, "This is what the prince wants..."

"Your Highness?" Ruyi's hand froze in the air.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the only prince left in the imperial city was the emperor's younger brother, Prince Nanjing.

"Prince Nanjing!" Ruyi put her hand down and gently brushed away her fallen hair. "Did Prince Nanjing specially ask you to go to Runxue Hall to buy this food?"

"Yes." Xiao Feng nodded obediently. "Sister Ruyi, when you have time, go and try it! There is also music by the proprietress, the courtesan Wei Chuchu, in the store! It's very lively!"

"Who? Who are you talking about?" Ruyi suddenly grabbed Xiaofeng's arm.

"Aunt, it's Miss Wei Chuchu..." Xiaofeng was a little at a loss.

"The Wei Chuchu from Zui Qing Feng?" Ruyi's face changed. "Didn't Zui Qing Feng go bankrupt? How did she suddenly become the boss lady of Run Xue Tang?"

"Slave... I don't know..."

When Ruyi saw Xiaofeng’s frightened face, she quickly came to her senses, let go of her hand, and let her go.

He also hurried back to the Queen's residence, Kunning Palace.

"Empress! Empress!" Ruyi shouted before she even entered the room.

"Why are you so impatient? You are the boss in Weiyang Palace!" The Queen Mother, Wan Qianni, gently wiped the tears from her face and scolded.

"Yes." Ruyi immediately calmed down, asked the other palace people in the room to leave, and then told them everything that had just happened.

"Is it really her?" Wan Qianni thought thoughtfully.

"It's absolutely true! I heard it with my own ears. It was definitely her!" Ruyi said confidently.

Wan Qianni's eyes suddenly became fierce.

"It's because of her! Wei Chuchu! A vixen from a place of prostitution! She bewitched my brother and made him marry her. Not only did my brother get beaten and punished so many times because of this, but his career has also not made any progress!"

Her bright red nails dug into her palms fiercely, and hatred filled her eyes.

"After His Majesty ascended the throne, he only appointed my elder brother as a seventh-rank supervisory censor, but appointed my half-brother next door as a sixth-rank director of the Imperial College! How can I swallow this anger!"

"That's right!" Ruyi took over the conversation, "Aunt Zhao's face is almost broken with laughter! Just now, Madam told you to try your best, otherwise the little bitch in Aunt Zhao's room will become even more rampant!"

Wan Qianni was breathing heavily, and her hatred grew stronger.

"Send someone to do something for me," she said.

"No, you have to do this yourself, otherwise I won't be at ease."

Ruyi's eyes were firm: "Just give your orders, Madam."

The two of them whispered to each other again, crying and cursing, and it took a long time for them to calm down.

"I will make sure this is done perfectly! Madam, please get dressed first. His Majesty may come over for dinner later!"

Ruyi advised.

Wan Qianni was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "He has never been here since I moved into Kunning Palace."

Ruyi quickly comforted her, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so it is normal for him to be busy with state affairs. Besides, Your Majesty has never slept in other palaces, so Your Majesty does not need to worry too much."

Seeing that she was still a little worried, Ruyi said, "In two days it will be the fifteenth day. On the night of the full moon, His Majesty will definitely come and reunite with the Empress!"

Unexpectedly, Wan Qian Ni frowned even more deeply, "The first day... the fifteenth day... the last time on the first day of the month, His Majesty came, but he just sat for a while and then left!"

"Then I heard that when he passed by Weiyang Palace, he went into the Pepper Room to take a look. He even spent more time there than when he was with me!"

"My lady, the Pepper Palace is not..."

Ruyi suddenly remembered that the Pepper Palace had always been the queen's residence...but Wanqianni was not granted the right to live in the Pepper Palace.

Wan Qianni angrily threw a teacup, "It's empty again, and you won't let me live here, which little bitch are you going to leave it to?!"

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"

Ruyi quickly picked up the broken porcelain pieces and comforted her.

"Don't be angry, Madam. Kunning Palace is the closest to Qianqing Palace. His Majesty is thinking about you! Be careful not to get angry. Madam and the eldest son will still rely on you in the future!"

Wan Qianni was speechless and choked for a long time before she wiped her tears and called two palace maids in to do her makeup.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her delicate face with tears in her eyes, forced out a standard smile that she had practiced for a long time, and touched her newly combed hair, looking very graceful.

But that night, the emperor did not come. She stared at the moon, her eyes becoming colder.

The next morning, Ruyi helped her wash her face and whispered in her ear:

"My lady, it's all done."

She finally smiled with satisfaction.
