The Prince Consort's Beloved

Li Yuanrou took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Get out!"

She was about to leave when Arya called her back, "Princess, that man is here with an imperial decree. We can't chase him away."

Li Yuanrou scolded: "What's wrong with the imperial edict? I said to drive him away, and if he doesn't leave, I will ask the servants in the palace to kick him out!"

Erya was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks. She had always been timid and law-abiding. Seeing the princess despising the imperial power, she was at a loss as to what to do.

Daya advised, "Princess, if you act rashly like this, you will be slapping His Majesty in the face. The Princess's Mansion is in chaos now, so it is not appropriate to cause any more trouble."

Li Yuanrou turned and walked towards the Green Plum Garden, and as she walked, she instructed: "The two of you can handle this matter. Place the person in any courtyard first, and keep a close eye on him and don't let him move around freely."

Da Ya and Er Ya took the order and left. Li Yuanrou quickly returned to Qingmei Garden, changed into a neat set of casual clothes, took the golden dagger and walked out.

Although she was very skilled at climbing over the wall, the Prince Yun's Mansion was like an iron barrel. If she climbed over the wall, she would probably be hacked to death before she even landed on the ground. She could only go in openly.

Li Yuanrou had already made up her mind. She walked out while thinking. As she wished, she embraced Zhaocai and left the princess's mansion.

She got off the car not far from the gate of Prince Yun's Mansion and told the driver to go back to the Princess' Mansion first. The driver was thoughtful and did not leave in time. He kept watching the situation at the gate of Prince Yun's Mansion.

Li Yuanrou was stopped just as she reached the gate of Prince Yun's Mansion: "Who is it?"

Li Yuanrou stroked the lucky dog's head and said, "This princess is here to look for the prince. His dog has been fostered with me for some time. This princess is here to return the dog."

The two people at the door had already recognized that the dog was Li Yanchen's Doudou. They looked at each other and one of them said, "The prince is not in the mansion. Princess, please give Doudou to me."

The man was about to go get the dog, but Li Yuanrou dodged while holding Zhaocai in her arms. "No, I have to deliver it to the prince in person, lest he criticize me for being mean to Doudou. It doesn't matter if he's not here. I'll go in and wait for him."

The two men looked at each other again without saying anything, as if they were hesitant.

Li Yuanrou glared with her almond-shaped eyes, and displayed her dignity as a princess: "Why is the threshold of Prince Yun's Mansion so high that I can't even go in personally? Where is the emperor's uncle? Call him over. I want to ask him. He usually indulges the servants in the mansion. How dare the two gatekeepers be so blatant and rude to me!"

The two were startled, then their expressions immediately softened. They bowed respectfully, and one of them said, "Princess, please forgive me. I will go in and inform them right away."

Just as the man was about to turn around, he saw an old man hurried over. He stretched out his hand and slapped the two men on the head, cursing, "You two blind bastards, do you need to inform them that the princess is coming?"

One of them covered his head and shouted, "Butler Zhao."

After beating the two men, Butler Zhao smiled and looked at Li Yuanrou, "Princess, please don't blame us. The two servants are blind. I will punish them severely later. Princess, please come in. The prince happens to be on a day off today."

Butler Zhao turned sideways, bent down and made a gesture of invitation. Li Yuanrou glanced at him casually, then held his head high and strode towards Prince Yun's Mansion with Zhaocai in his arms.

The butler ran to the front and led the way, saying with a wry smile: "Princess, please go to the study and wait for a moment. The prince will be here soon."

Li Yuanrou nodded and handed the dog to Butler Zhao.

Based on her memory, King Yun's attitude towards her was quite friendly.

Her original intention was to return the dog to see King Yun, but now that Li Yanchen had been skipped, it was exactly what she wanted.

Butler Zhao led her all the way to the palace. Li Yuanrou had never been to Prince Yun's Mansion before. As she walked and looked around, she felt that the Prince Yun's Mansion was not as magnificent as she had imagined.

The entrance to the palace looks majestic and magnificent, but the interior of the palace is in the garden style of the Jiangnan water village, with flowing water under small bridges, winding paths, green willows, and a long, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The breeze brings a cool fragrance to your face, which is refreshing and pleasant.

Li Yuanrou couldn't help but complain in her heart that Prince Yun looked rough and had only the courage of a common man, but she didn't expect that his aesthetic taste was similar to that of her bookish father.

Although Prince Yun can only be considered half a royal family member, he was raised by his grandmother. He and his father grew up together and are real brothers. Their personalities have been influenced by each other to some extent. No wonder even the women they like are the same.

Prince Yun was also a pitiful man. It was said that his biological father was unwilling to marry into the palace of the princess who was still a princess at the time. The princess committed suicide after giving birth to Prince Yun. The royal grandfather killed the unfaithful man in anger. Prince Yun became an orphan at birth and was raised by the royal grandmother...

Li Yuanrou was thinking as she walked, and before she knew it she had arrived outside Prince Yun's study.

Butler Zhao respectfully opened the study door and invited Li Yuanrou in: "Princess, please wait a moment. The prince will be here soon."

Li Yuanrou nodded slightly to show that she understood, and when she walked in, Butler Zhao closed the door casually.

Li Yuanrou looked back at the closed door, as if thinking about something.

Having been a princess for such a long time, she has been spending her days eating, drinking and having fun. Thanks to Xiao Luobai, she has basically been able to get by. However, no matter how stupid she is, she knows that the study, where important matters are handled, is not a place where everyone can enter.

Prince Yun actually let her stay alone in such an important place as the study without any worries.

She walked forward two more steps because the painting on the wall in front of her was too eye-catching.

The walls of this study are empty except for a painting hanging on the middle wall. The painting is exquisite and eye-catching.

The girl in the painting is making graceful movements with her limbs and a light body, as if she is dancing.

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains with dark shadows, her eyes are like rippling autumn water, her face is like peach blossoms with rosy cheeks, and her bright smile is intoxicating in the spring breeze.

Li Yuanrou was a little dazed. What kind of glance that could capture a person's heart could make the girl in the painting look so lifelike and charming?

Upon closer inspection, the person in the painting actually resembles my eldest sister when she was a 15-year-old.

Li Yuanrou's eyes turned from the portrait to the signature on the scroll, and she couldn't help but recite aloud: "As graceful as a startled swan, as gentle as a swimming dragon, she glances back and smiles, her eyes are full of charm, and she is full of allure."

The door was pushed open and a tall and mighty man walked in. Seeing her standing in front of the painting in a trance, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered his composure in an instant.

Li Yuanrou asked casually, "Did you draw this?"

The man uttered a light "hmm".

Li Yuanrou couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought my mother looked like this when she was young. I have never seen her look so pure and lively in my life. She looked like a fairy, not a mortal."

The man asked, "Can you tell this is your mother?"

Li Yuanrou chuckled and said, "She is as graceful as a startled swan and as gentle as a swimming dragon. Even if I am not close to my mother, I know that her maiden name is Ruowan. How obvious could this be, uncle?"
