Chapter 504 Such is her nature
Chu Yueli was slightly taken aback and looked at Huo Qing.
Huo Qing smiled and said, "Senior Sister mentioned it, saying that she had made an appointment with Mo'er."
Chu Yueli's face stung slightly, but she didn't say anything.
There's nothing wrong with talking about this; they actually mentioned it when they came to see the old Duke this morning.
I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
However, since I've decided to be with him, there's no need to delay any longer.
Dragging things out is not her style.
Therefore, Chu Yueli was not as shy and hesitant as other young girls. She looked directly at Jing Lei and asked, "Where is your prince? Has he gone to the palace?"
"I am supposed to enter the palace tonight, but I have been outside the whole time and have not been with Your Highness today, so I do not know if Your Highness has arrived at the palace yet."
Jing Lei thought for a moment and then continued, "But please rest assured, Miss Li, the Prince will not delay what he has decided to do. Moreover, this is the Prince's wish, and the Prince is more anxious than anyone else."
Therefore, the prince will definitely go to the palace to ask for a marriage decree; there is no need for Miss Li to urge him on this matter.
Chu Yueli nodded without saying anything.
Zisu brought Jinglei a steaming bowl of pork chop noodles and said with a smile, "Try it quickly, it's delicious. If it's not enough, I'll order you another bowl."
……
The palace was as calm and peaceful as ever tonight.
While Ji Mama was doing Consort Yu's makeup, she glanced at the sky outside and said, "The Prince should be arriving soon, Your Highness. Should we send some ginseng soup to the Emperor? I've already prepared it."
"No need," Consort Yu shook her head. "His Majesty has encountered plenty of hypocrisy in his daily life, and he knows better than anyone whether something is sincere or not."
She and the emperor had long lost any feelings for each other; the initial favor had faded with the years.
The old man is surrounded by beauties. In this harem, one only ever sees the new beauties laughing, never hears the old ones crying.
If the emperor's heart is with you, he will find you extremely adorable even if you scold him a couple of times. If his heart is not with you, he will still find your heart, lungs, spleen, and kidneys dirty and he will complain that they are dirtying his fine clothes.
If that's the case, why bother pretending to offer him any so-called warmth?
"Your Highness, are you still angry about the Emperor's attitude towards Consort Qing today?" Granny Ji was watching their every move during their meal today.
"It's not like it's the first time, what's there to be angry about?" Consort Yu closed the rouge box in front of her. Apart from the necessary etiquette of applying some cosmetics, she really didn't want to touch any unnecessary decorations.
Too lazy to bother.
"I'm worried that Qing'er might be too frightened to sit still right now."
"In my opinion, Madam Qing doesn't seem like someone who has been frightened."
Yu Fei sighed: "In the past, when she was alone, she was truly fearless."
She glanced back at Granny Ji and smiled, "Qing'er's personality isn't an act. Unlike that 'Desert Flower,' she's always been like this—straightforward and forthright. She despises the Emperor, a deep and abhorrent dislike."
"My lady..."
“But she is now a member of the Duke’s mansion. Once she calms down back home, she will realize that her every move will affect everyone in the Duke’s mansion. She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that the people she cares about will be hurt. I understand her.”
Consort Yu put down the hairpin in her hand and stood up: "Mo'er should be arriving soon. Let's go out and wait for him. If we're late, that old man will need to rest."
