Hearing the noise, a row of maids came over, one holding clean water, one holding toiletries, and some holding light clothes.

She looked at them in confusion.

The leading female official bowed to Yan Yunshu.

"My lady, be well and safe. The Empress sent me here early this morning to tell you that after the maids have helped you bathe and change your clothes and have packed up, you can leave for the Marquis' Mansion."

After saying this, he got a response from Yan Yunshu, said a few words to the maids, and then left.

Before leaving, he saluted, and while saluting, he looked at Yan Yunshu deeply.

See the female official leave.

Yan Yunshu hesitated for a moment, carefully put away the ghostly spirit bead, and got up from the bed.

The maid came forward to serve.

After rinsing her mouth and brushing her teeth, Yan Yunshu followed the maid to the side hall.

Along the way, Yan Yunshu was still confused. For five days and five nights, except for washing up at night, she had never left the main hall of the bedroom. For a moment, she was a little dazed. She looked at the slanting autumn sun and felt the breeze blowing on her face, and then she became a little more sober.

She took out the glowing spirit bead from her sleeve pocket, feeling the tingling sensation it brought, and her heart felt much more at ease.

She asked the maid beside her, "Is the Second Prince okay? Where is he now?"

The maid leaned towards her slightly, being very polite.

"My dear, the Second Prince is fine now. He is currently in the Qinzheng Palace, discussing government affairs with the Emperor."

Yan Yunshu responded and did not ask any further questions.

Yes, so many major events have happened in Tianze Kingdom in such a short period of time. Now that Xu Jinghuai has finally woken up, he should share the worries of the emperor.

However, she was about to leave the palace and return home, and she didn't know if she could see Xu Jinghuai again and say goodbye to him?

In the side hall, mist was lingering and the air was filled with incense.

Yan Yunshu took off her clothes, squinted her eyes in the bathtub, and felt the comfort all over her body.

Her long hair was soaked, and under the water vapor, her beautiful and elegant face was like a breathtaking hibiscus flower.

It’s so beautiful that it’s hard to open your eyes.

The maids standing by were stunned.

The movement of scattering petals was a little slow.

Yan Yunshu smiled at them with her watery eyes.

"Your Highness, have you had breakfast today?"

When the maids heard Yan Yunshu's question, they just woke up from a dream and quickly replied, "We don't know. We are not from Jingyang Palace."

Yan Yunshu was surprised. "Then why are you serving here?"

"Young lady, you may not know that there have never been maids or ladies-in-waiting in Jingyang Palace. There are only guards and eunuchs. The servants are all from Weiyang Palace."

As the maids spoke, they tested the water temperature for Yan Yunshu and poured in some hot milk.

"How does the water temperature feel to you, young lady?"

Yan Yunshu was still in shock. There were no maids or female officials in Jingyang Palace. Doesn't that mean there were no women in Jingyang Palace?!

No wonder everyone is talking about the Second Prince’s sexual orientation problem, so that’s how it is!

Seeing Yan Yunshu's shocked expression, the maid explained again.

"Don't be surprised, young lady. The Second Prince has always been like this."

Another maid also echoed, "We servants have just realized that our Second Prince still likes women."

Having said that, the other maids also looked at Yan Yunshu.

Some are envious, some are indifferent, some are a little jealous, and some are confused.

Although they were slaves in the palace, they were palace maids after all. They were carefully selected from the daughters of low-ranking officials to serve the royal family. In the past, they were also pampered and served by others. After entering the palace, they would also dream. At the age of dreaming, when they met such handsome princes, they would naturally think that one day they would be favored by the princes or be treated differently by the princes.

Then you can fly onto the tree branch and turn into a phoenix.

But as the days passed, if the Second Prince had not suddenly become seriously ill, they would not even be able to step into the gate of Jingyang Palace.

How dare I think of anything else?

But I didn't expect that this girl who had just started to grow up actually slept in the second prince's bed last night.

When the Second Prince got up in the morning to wash up, he even gave her many instructions, asking her to serve him well and not to disturb her sleep.

When I looked at her, the tenderness in her eyes was unprecedented.

It’s true, comparing yourself with others is really frustrating.

The maid Lianxiang, who was not far away, sighed and continued to fumigate Yan Yunshu's clothes.

Yan Yunshu naturally knew what they were thinking.

He stopped asking questions.

The air in the side hall was quiet, with only the sounds of busy maids.

After about an incense stick of time, there was a noise outside the palace gate.

I could only hear the footsteps getting closer.

Xu Jinghuai's voice came.

"Yunshu."

Yan Yunshu was so excited that she was about to jump out of the tub. She supported herself on the rim with both hands and shouted towards the figure outside the door, "Second Prince!"

The figure outside the door lowered his eyebrows and chuckled, "Are you hungry?"

Yan Yunshu touched her flat belly and said, "Your Highness, I am not hungry."

The suddenly tense atmosphere in the side hall immediately eased, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The maids looked at Yan Yunshu with a hint of surprise.

The maid who was wiping Yan Yunshu's body stopped what she was doing.

After a while, a piece of cake was brought to Yan Yunshu.

"Please forgive me, young lady. The Second Prince gave instructions before he left, but we are so unfamiliar with this Jingyang Palace that we forgot."

Yan Yunshu was not annoyed, but just smiled lightly.

I wonder what the unfamiliarity with Jingyang Palace has to do with forgetting these two things?

She was not stupid and knew their hostility towards her. She was showing them some mercy for now because there was still a lot of time to go. If she married Xu Jinghuai in the future, the Queen Mother would definitely assign them to serve her, and more confrontations would be inevitable.

However, knocking is still necessary.

"Sisters, don't you even bother to find a good excuse?"

The maid's hand that was wiping her body stopped violently.

Little did they know that Yan Yunshu, who was still so young, would expose them so ruthlessly.

He hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Yan Yunshu ignored him and continued to squint, leaning against the bucket. Outside the palace gate, the Second Prince's figure could still be vaguely seen wandering around.

The Second Prince, who was so cold and noble, was actually waiting for Yan Yunshu outside the palace gate.

But Yan Yunshu had no intention of speeding up at all!

Is this the legendary fearlessness?

The maids who wiped Yan Yunshu's body gained some new insights.

The autumn wind was blowing and the sun was warm, and Xu Jinghuai's voice was heard outside the palace door.

"Yun Shu, I've sent someone to buy your favorite green glutinous rice cake. It's freshly baked! Would you like to try it now?"

The maids were shocked.

Yan Yunshu responded, "Yes, thank you, Your Highness."

The maid hurried out of the palace and took the green glutinous rice cake handed to her by the Second Prince himself. She looked at the Second Prince's tender face in disbelief and carefully took the cake into the palace.

A moment later, the Second Prince's voice was heard from outside the palace door again.

"Are the maids serving well?"

Yan Yunshu replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Xu Jinghuai continued to pace back and forth, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

After a while, he continued, "Yun Shu, at the court this morning, my father has appointed the Crown Prince."
