Zhou Ruiyuan nodded and reached out to brush her hair away from her temples, "Well, if you don't want to go, I'll help you refuse."
Du Wanchun smiled and said: "Go, of course I want to go. I haven't been to the palace yet."
Zhou Ruiyuan's eyes darkened slightly as he listened, "In the future, the palace will be our home."
Du Wanchun leaned into his arms, smiled and nodded.
Early the next morning, Du Wanchun changed into goose-yellow palace clothes, put on the headdress given to her by Aunt Zhou and followed Miss Han to the palace.
Miss Han held her hand and whispered: "Sister-in-law, today's flower viewing party is all for the ladies in the palace. Don't worry, as long as we don't provoke them, nothing will happen." ?.?????. ???
A few days ago, Princess Duan heard that Miss Han was getting married, so she specially held a flower-viewing banquet in the palace. Firstly, she wanted to win over Miss Han, and secondly, she wanted to give the Han family a boost.
Du Wanchun followed Miss Han into the carriage and entered the palace. When he arrived at the palace, he got off the carriage and followed a group of palace maids and eunuchs inside.
Soon, they arrived at Princess Duan's palace under the guidance of the palace maids.
Miss Han and Du Wanchun saluted Concubine Duan together, "Mother Concubine Duan."
When Princess Duan saw Miss Han coming in with a strange woman, she began to look at Du Wanchun and asked her, "Who is this?"
Han Yaner stood up and replied: "This is the sister-in-law of the Zhou family. I will bring her to the palace today."
Concubine Duan lowered her eyes and looked at Du Wanchun from top to bottom again.
At this time, one of the concubines on the side smiled and said, "Isn't this sister-in-law of the Zhou family a farmer's wife? I heard that the Zhou family makes a living by making incense and farming."
"Yes, but looking at her, she is no worse than the women in the capital."
"It's not like Miss Han, Miss Han has become even more rude and even brought a peasant woman into the palace."
Du Wanchun was not angry even after hearing their discussion, and sat aside with Miss Han.
Concubine Duan, on the other hand, said with a smile: "Now that the emperor has adopted the son of the Zhou family as his adopted son, the Zhou family is naturally not an ordinary farm family. You should be careful what you say."
The concubines immediately shut their mouths and lowered their heads with unwillingness on their faces.
Contrary to what Du Wanchun thought, Princess Duan looked kind-hearted and spoke in a soft voice.
But often the more such a person is, the more terrifying it is.
With Concubine Duan speaking, no one gave Du Wanchun any trouble during the entire flower viewing party.
When the banquet was almost over, the emperor came.
This was the first time Du Wanchun saw Zhou Ruiyuan's biological father. Seeing the somewhat similar faces of the two men, he felt once again how vicious the emperor was.
When the old emperor saw Du Wanchun, his eyes darkened slightly and he looked at her carefully.
Concubine Duan said quickly: "This is Zhou Yan's sister-in-law."
When the old emperor heard this, he immediately withdrew his gaze.
Du Wanchun quickly saluted him and said, "A commoner's wife is here to see the emperor."
The old emperor said slowly: "Yes, flat body."
Du Wanchun lowered his head and stood up.
The old emperor did not stay long. He sat here for a while and then left.
After the banquet was over, Du Wanchun hurriedly left the palace with Miss Han.
Here they drove away, and Princess Duan asked the little palace maid on the side: "Did you see it just now?"
The little palace maid asked: "I wonder what your Majesty is talking about?"
Concubine Duan took out a box of incense and slowly lit it, "The emperor looked at the Zhou family's sister-in-law."
The little palace maid paused and comforted her: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has always been like this."
Concubine Duan picked up the burning incense and smelled it and said, "Yes, he has always been like this, but the fragrance on Sister Zhou's body is indeed quite unique this time."
The little palace maid asked in confusion: "Unique? This slave didn't notice it."
Concubine Duan stood up and walked towards the window, "Smelling her fragrance always reminds me of the queen."
The little palace maid was startled when she heard this, "Mother, you must have made a mistake. This slave also smelled the fragrance of the peasant woman, but it is no different from the fragrance of ordinary spices."
Concubine Duan coughed lightly, turned around and said, "I must be overthinking it."
Seeing that she was coughing, the little palace maid hurriedly asked: "My queen, you have been coughing badly recently. Do you want to see the imperial doctor?"
Concubine Duan waved her hands and said, "No need, it's just a cold infection."
After hearing what she said, the little palace maid did not continue to ask any more questions.
After Du Wanchun left the palace, he told Zhou Ruiyuan everything that happened in the palace.
Zhou Ruiyuan took her hand and said, "In the future, as long as I'm here, no one can say that to you again."
Du Wanchun smiled and said: "That's all, the dispute of words is nothing."
Zhou Ruiyuan held her hand, his face full of love.
At this time, Zhou Feng came over and said, "Sister-in-law, it's time to eat."
Du Wanchun didn't eat anything when he left the palace today. When he came back, he happened to catch up with Zhou Mansion for dinner.
She stood up and said, "Thank you, second brother."
After waiting for the group to finish their meal, a voice suddenly came from outside the door of the mansion, "Sir, the emperor is here."
Zhou Feng was shocked, "What did you say? The emperor is here?"
