Chapter 104: Butterfly Invite
The three of them walked all the way to the palace gate. As soon as they helped General Nalan get on the carriage, an eunuch stepped out of the palace gate and chased him. It turned out to be Eunuch Wen who was serving the same place next to Emperor Yongding.
"Your Highness, the Emperor, you will go to the imperial study." Eunuch Wen greeted the people and said to Ye Shurui with a smile.
"Now?" Ye Shurui raised his eyebrows. The emperor was really impatient.
Eunuch Wen nodded with a smile.
"Okay, I understand." Ye Shurui nodded and changed the subject, "Eunuch Wen, go and tell the emperor, and I will say that I will send Grandpa Nalan and the Miss General's Mansion back to see him."
"This..." Eunuch Wen was embarrassed.
Nalan Wan pulled Ye Shurui for a moment and said in disagreement: "The emperor summons you, go quickly, I'll go back in my grandfather's carriage." She didn't want the emperor to feel that Ye Shurui didn't listen to his summons.
Ye Shurui hesitated for a moment, and saw that Nalan Wan was very determined, and then nodded and responded.
"Then I'll come to the General's Mansion to find you later." After a pause, Ye Shurui lowered his voice again, "Something progressed."
Nalan Wan understood and thought that Ye Shurui had returned to the general's mansion last night, and it turned out that there was a clue! Unfortunately, she made him unhappy and he was so angry that the two kissed each other and no one remembered the serious matter. Thinking of this, Nalan Wan's face turned slightly red and nodded and let him go.
It was not until Ye Shurui followed Eunuch Wen into the palace gate again that she sighed softly, turned around and jumped into the carriage.
"Miss Nalan." Someone called her.
Nalan Wan turned his head and saw Qin Die'er calling her through the curtain in another carriage, and she was just as beautiful as a flower and across the clouds.
"It turned out to be Miss Qin." Nalan returned the gift late, and remembered what Concubine Hui said to her in the palace today, and she was still a little surprised.
As he thought about it, Qin Die'er had already taken off the carriage with the maid helping her and came to the carriage that the old general Nalan was riding. Nalan Wan had no choice but to jump off the carriage again.
"Miss Qin has something to say?" Nalan Wan thought of her help in the palace, and her tone was very polite.
Qin Dieer nodded, "I wonder if Miss Nalan is convenient?"
Nalan Wan frowned slightly. It was not that she was inconvenient, but that this place was not convenient at all. Two ladies stood in front of the gate of the palace, muttering, and saying something to people when they saw it.
As if seeing Nalan Wan’s hesitation, Qin Dieer said understandingly: “If Miss Nalan is not in a hurry to go back to the general’s mansion, why not find a place to sit?”
Nalan Wan was wary, "Where is Miss Qin going?"
Don’t blame her for being suspicious. It’s really not a pleasant meeting before. Qin Die'er asked Concubine Hui to help her in the palace, which surprised her. Now she has invited another strong invitation, which is too abnormal. As the saying goes, she is both a traitor or a thief.
"I can do it, Miss Nalan, just set the location." Qin Die'er smiled, and she also knew that such a rash invitation was a bit abrupt.
Nalan Wan also smiled softly, "Since that's the case, why not go to Helelou."
She wanted to see whether Qin Die'er was sincere or false. This woman was the more terrifying person than Princess Mingyue. If she had been sincerely intimate with her, this person would be so generous that she was so proud of her, especially when her engagement with Ye Shurui was just broken. If she had ulterior motives, then this person's cunning would be too deep, at least she could not see it at all.
"Okay." Qin Die'er was extremely happy when she agreed. "Miss Nalan doesn't seem to have her own carriage, would she want to ride the same car with me?"
Nalan Wan nodded slightly, thinking that she was just unwilling to do so. Who told her to come from Ye Shurui's carriage?
Nalanwan and the veteran General Nalan briefly talked about the situation, and followed Qin Die'er on her carriage and slowly came to Hele Tower.
When the two entered the Hele Tower, Qin Die'er familiarly led Nalan Wan to the pavilion and water pavilion on the right path. He knew in his heart that he could not go to the left and did not want to go in the middle, so he could only choose the elegant room on the right.
Nalan Wan's eyes looked at the vaguely visible path on the far left from time to time, remembering that he had parted with Ye Shurui in front of the secret courtyard that day, and then he left angrily. He thought that the two people who had nothing to do with each other were now together after going around and around, and he felt a little emotional in his heart.
"What are Miss Nalan thinking?" Qin Die'er saw that she looked dazed and couldn't help but ask.
Nalan Wan smiled and didn't say anything.
Qin Die'er didn't ask, but changed the topic, "I wonder if Miss Nalan has a fixed elegant room in Hele Building?"
Hele Tower has been famous in the capital for a long time, and many nobles from high ranks like to come here to invite banquets and discuss matters. Over time, many people have developed the habit of being fixed in an elegant room, so Qin Dieer asked this question. Last time Xiao Gu invited me, it was the elegant room he had used for a long time.
Nalan Wan shook her head, "I rarely leave the house in daily life and have no specific elegant rooms. Miss Qin just needs to do whatever she wants."
Qin Die'er smiled, and Nalan Wan's answer was within her expectation, and she took her to a elegant room called "Lan". Because just after the banquet, Qin Die'er did not order any more food, just two plates of snacks and a pot of tea.
Nalan looked around for a moment and confirmed that there was no ambush in the dark. The room was also bright and clean. The snacks and tea cups ordered by Qin Dieer were even more problematic. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he was really judging a gentleman's ambition by the heart of a villain?
"Xiaowan wrote down Miss Qin's help in the palace. But Xiaowan said that she would not receive any reward without merit. Can Xiaowan ask why Miss Qin helped?" Nalan Wan was straight to the point and was too tired to play Tai Chi with a smart person like Qin Die'er.
Qin Die'er smiled softly, with a bit of grace in her character, "To be honest, Miss Nalan, I actually regret helping you."
"Oh?" Nalan Wan was surprised. Qin Die'er was indeed difficult to get along with. She changed her face faster than reading.
"At that time, Die'er didn't know that Miss Nalan and His Highness King Jin had an engagement." Qin Die'er was also unexpectedly calm and straightforward, "You saw it in the Yishu Teahouse last time. I and Princess Mingyue were also incompatible. If she hadn't bullied people too much that day, how could I have demoted myself and fought with her like a shrew, which made His Highness King Jin feel a joke, and her image was ruined."
Nalan nodded late, Princess Mingyue was just a lunatic.
"Since then, I have always been paying attention to Princess Mingyue's actions, just waiting to find an opportunity to take revenge. Unexpectedly, before I could find the opportunity, I accidentally learned her tricks against you. Logically, I should watch the fire from the other side of the river and let you fight for both sides. But seeing your stupid appearance in the hall and seeing Mingyue's proud face, I decided to help you." Qin Die'er's emotions fluctuated slightly.
Nalan Wan was still watching her quietly. Since she had made her appointment here, there was nothing to say. She also wanted to hear that if Concubine Hui didn't help her in the palace, Mingyue would have any tricks to wait for her.
