Zhang Xiuye knew the stakes here too well. In less than a moment of burning incense, Qin Feng's remarks would spread throughout the harem.
But... who dares to do anything to Qin Feng?
In the end, don't the masters of various palaces and courtyards want to take out their anger on the servants around them?
Now, Zhang Xiuye can only be obedient to Qin Feng and strive to serve this "ancestor" well as soon as possible and let him leave the palace as soon as possible.
"Master Qin, Mingyue Palace is ahead. I will inform you."
As soon as Zhang Xiuye took a step forward, he was grabbed by Qin Feng.
The corners of Qin Feng's mouth raised, and he gave a wicked smile: "No need, I'll give Third Sister a surprise."
surprise? Zhang Xiuye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was clearly frightened and more like that!
As a foreign minister, Qin Feng broke the rules when wandering around the harem, and entered the palace of nobles without reporting.
Even if this nobleman has a close relationship with Qin Feng, it is undoubtedly a huge provocation to the royal authority.
But……
What can Zhang Xiuye do? I can only bite the bullet and keep smiling.
Qin Feng walked into the gate of Mingyue Palace with his hands behind his back.
I thought that as the only princess of Daliang, Li Xiaolan's palace must be extremely luxurious, but what I saw was that it was all simple and elegant, even a little deserted.
The flowers in the yard have withered and are still covered with many fallen leaves. It has obviously not been cleaned for a long time.
Seeing this situation, Qin Feng couldn't help but frown.
Zhang Xiuye is the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Qin Feng's face was not good-looking, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his back, so he quickly explained.
"Master Qin, please don't misunderstand me."
"The palace given to Princess Mingyue by the Saint is one of the most magnificent palaces."
"But Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't like to be too public, so she has no choice but to let Her Royal Highness move to this palace."
"But don't worry, although the palace is average, the food and clothing are among the best in this harem."
Hearing this, Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and pointed at the withered flowers and fallen leaves.
"How to explain this?"
Zhang Xiuye wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt that facing Qin Feng was more stressful than facing Emperor Liang directly.
Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly replied: "Growing flowers requires the most patience. It takes a lot of energy and careful care every day."
"Her Royal Highness, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not allowed to send maids here. If you want to grow flowers, your Royal Highness must take care of it yourself."
"Your Highness will naturally not waste your precious energy on these flowers and plants."
"As for the fallen leaves on the ground, His Highness specifically asked not to clean them."
"When His Highness lived in Beixi County, every late autumn, the yard at home would be covered with leaves. He said... it would make him feel like home."
Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
When Li Xiaolan was living in Beixi County, although her life was poor, at least she was very fulfilling by following her mother.
Since Qin Feng started to develop Beixi County, Li Xiaolan has even served as the chief of the Jinyi Guards, making the best use of his talents.
But now, she has returned to the Forbidden Palace in Kyoto and has become Princess Daliang, who is admired by all people in the world.
But on the contrary, he was like a prisoner, living in the palace all day without leaving the house.
For safety reasons, he didn't even have servants or maids around him, leaving only Xiao Xiangxiang and Shufeng with him.
Even if those two girls try their best, they will still be unable to serve Li Xiaolan well.
In other words, Li Xiaolan's status in the harem is second only to the queen and the eldest princess.
But the life I lived was the most miserable.
"Third sister...is suffering."
Qin Feng sighed lightly and waved to Zhang Xiuye, indicating that he could go down.
Zhang Xiuye didn't dare to go far, so he closed the palace door with his backhand and waited outside.
Qin Feng glanced at the quiet palace. It was more like a courtyard than a palace.
In addition to the courtyard gate, there are rows of houses on three sides. According to the rules of seniority and inferiority, the house facing the courtyard gate is Li Xiaolan's bedroom.
Qin Feng walked to the door softly and was about to open the door when he heard a slight conversation coming from inside.
"Miss Third, I heard someone talking outside just now. Do you need me to go out and check?" Shufeng asked softly.
After a while, Li Xiaolan's voice rang out.
"No need."
"I'm afraid it's the eunuchs and maids who are spreading gossip again."
"Although the palace is well-dressed and well-fed, it is extremely boring and boring. Normal people would be driven crazy. Everyone can only try their best to pass this boring but long life."
"The concubines fight openly and secretly all day long, vying for power. The maids and eunuchs are the boss of the host family."
"The palace is so strict, to put it harshly, this harem is no different from Beixi County."
Speaking of this, Li Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh: "Look, am I also chatting?"
"Environment can change people, and no one is immune to it."
Xiao Xiangxiang quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, Third Miss. Just hold on for a little longer. When you and the young master get married, you can leave this prison with red walls and blue tiles."
It's okay not to say this. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh.
Once upon a time, the strong and cold third lady of the Qin family had lived in this deep palace for a long time, and she actually felt a little sad.
"Anything related to the royal family will always involve some stakes."
"Even if my engagement with Feng'er is known to the whole world, I'm afraid it's still far away if we want to achieve success."
Xiao Xiangxiang and Shufeng don't understand so many deep-seated conflicts.
All they wanted to do was comfort Li Xiaolan so that she wouldn't get sick in this deep palace.
Xiao Xiangxiang pretended to be relaxed: "Miss Third, as long as you want to go out, you can go out at any time."
"If you miss the young master and the second young lady, then go out and have a look. No one in this harem dares to stop you."
Li Xiaolan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That being said, I represent Qin Feng's face after all."
"Even if you know you can be confident, you can't ignore Feng'er's situation and act recklessly."
Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't hold on any longer and opened the door directly and rushed in.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, the three women were startled at the same time.
After seeing the appearance of the intruder clearly, the entire palace was immediately drowned in cheers.
Xiao Xiangxiang and Shufeng rushed forward at the same time.
"Master, why are you here?"
"Wow, young master, when you came, you didn't let the eunuchs inform you. It scared me to death."
During this period, these two girls also suffered.
After all, they could have lived a carefree life, but in order to take care of Li Xiaolan, they had to go into the palace with them and experience this long loneliness.
Qin Feng was heartbroken and directly took the two girls into his arms, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Xiao Xiangxiang, Shufeng, do you miss me?"
If it had been in the past, the two girls would have been so embarrassed that they remained silent.
But this time, it was different.
