Chapter 308: Did the Crown Prince Come To See You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndtessFantasy Translation
Huangfu He did not come here specifically to see Yu Wanqing off. He came here to send Yu Wanqing back because something happened to her at the flower viewing party!
She was probably the only one who knew why something had happened.
Firstly, Yu Wanqing was his cousin. Secondly, he was the host here. Therefore, the Crown Prince personally sent Princess Ping’an back to the Misty Pavilion. She sat in the courtyard and waited for Imperial Physician Shu Han to examine Yu Wanqing.
When Liu Yan’er heard the voice, she got someone to carry her out. She bowed as she landed, “1 beg…”
“You have an injury on your leg, so there’s no need to be polite.” Huangfu He did not wait for her to speak. He gestured to the palace maid beside him and said, “Second Young Miss Liu’s leg injury is not suitable for standing. Take her back to her room.”
Liu Yan’er’s expression stiffened, and her heart sank. What does the Crown Prince mean? Is he tired of me? Was it a mistake to come to the flower appreciation party with this leg injury today?
However, she did not dare to ask, and nobody paid attention to what she was thinking. The palace maids by the Crown Prince’s side came over to assist Xia He and the others, and they took Liu Yan’er back to Room Number Two.
With the Crown Prince around, there was naturally no lack of people paying attention to the gossip here.
In Room Number Three, Liu Shimei did not go out in order to avoid suspicion.
To her, the words ‘Crown Prince’ was equivalent to ‘trouble’!
While observing the commotion in the courtyard, Mo’er quietly reported the situation to Shi Shimei and expressed her doubts in a hushed tone, “Eldest Miss, why would the Crown Prince specifically come over? Could it be that he’s really here for Princess Ping’an? What happened to Princess Ping’an?”
Liu Shimei smiled lightly without answering the question. Instead, she smirked and said, “This Misty Pavilion houses four people. Last night, Liu Yanner got injured, today I fell into the lake, and now something happened to Yu Wanqing… I wonder if this place has bad Feng Shui!”
Mo’er was speechless.
Lian Qiao laughed, “Eldest Young Miss’s words are really interesting.”
Bad Feng Shui?
In other words, the identities of these people are indeed complicated. Even Shi Shimei had to admit that she herself was the source of trouble!
Mo’er asked again, “So, Eldest Miss, are you not going out?”
Liu Shimei shook her head and replied, “No, I won’t go. Everyone already knows that I’m ill, right?”
Seeing how confident she was, Mo’er and Lian Qiao could not help but laugh.
Mo’er jokingly commented, “Now Eldest Miss says she’s ill. Didn’t you insist that you were fine before?”
In plain terms, when she doesn’t want to see someone, she pretends to be seriously ill. That’s a perfect excuse!
Not long after, Mo’er’s live broadcast began again. “Miss Zhang has gone out.”
With the Crown Prince’s arrival, Zhang Miaozhen, who was not injured at all, would certainly come out to greet him. She observed from Room Number Four for a while, then changed into a different outfit and came out to pay respects to Huangfu He, saying, “Miaozhen pays respects to the Crown Prince.”
Gentle and elegant people were always pleasing; the best description for Zhang Miaozhen was ‘as gentle as chrysanthemum’.
Huangfu He nodded, “No need for formalities.”
Zhang Miaozhen did not insist on staying to get closer to the Crown Prince. Instead, she said, “I heard that Princess Ping’an injured her leg. I’m going to check on her.”
With another bow, she then retreated and headed towards Room Number One.
She handled it appropriately, striking the right balance.
Hearing the conversation outside the courtyard, Liu Shimei genuinely praised, “Miaozhen indeed has a discerning eye!”
Not annoying in the slightest, the most comfortable person to be around.
However, it was apparent that Zhang Miaozhen was not very enthusiastic about vying for the position of Crown Prince’s Consort.
Mo’er did noot watch the drama anymore and returned to the round table, whispering, “Eldest Miss, do you think the Crown Prince came to see you?”
