Chapter 396 Unexpected News

Cha Qing asked in surprise: "Are you sure you saw the Prince of Ankang and Sister Cha Lan walking together?"

Jinse hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.

"You know, although the prince of Ankang County doesn't hold a high position and doesn't often come to the palace, I did see him from afar at the palace banquet. I didn't remember him at first, but now I can be sure..."

After not seeing him for some time, the Prince of Ankang hasn't changed much in appearance.

It would be fine if she didn’t remember it. But if she remembered it, Jinse would not make a mistake.

Cha Qing asked curiously: "Why is Sister Cha Lan walking with the Prince of Ankang? Didn't Sister Cha Lan leave the palace and get married?"

Jinse knew nothing about Chalan's situation and what happened to her after she left the palace.

But she remembered that when she met Cha Lan and the Prince of Ankang outside the palace that day, she saw that the relationship between the two seemed very close.

If Cha Lan got married after leaving the palace, then...

"It can't be that Sister Chalan married the prince of Ankang County? It can't be possible, right?"

Jinse was thinking in her mind, but before she could say anything, Chaqing started yelling first.

Obviously, Cha Qing was a little frightened by his own guess, so he looked at Jinse with disbelief.

Seeing her like this, Jinse didn't know what to say for a moment... She couldn't say that she was the same as Chaqing guessed!

But the less Jinse spoke, the more Chaqing thought about it, and wondered about the relationship between Chalan and the Prince of Ankang.

She remembered that the last time she went out of the palace to see Cha Lan, she didn't realize that Cha Lan had any connection with that place, and Cha Lan herself didn't say anything...

Or maybe, Cha Lan just kept it a secret from her at that time?

Thinking about the situation at that time, Cha Qing's face gradually became a little ugly, as if he remembered something that was a little unbelievable.

Seeing that Cha Qing’s face was becoming increasingly ugly, Jinse couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Cha Qing, what’s wrong with you?”

Jinse thought that even if Cha Lan really entered the Prince of Ankang's Mansion, it shouldn't be a big deal. Everyone has their own way of living. There was really no need for Cha Qing to care so much.

"It's possible that I saw it wrong, or maybe there's something we don't know about it?"

Jinse thought for a while and then said, "Besides, I saw that Sister Cha Lan was very happy that day, and that man was also very caring towards Sister Cha Lan. Even if that man is really the Prince of Ankang, it should be a good thing, right?"

Even though she is someone's concubine, as long as Cha Lan is happy, what does it matter?

Cha Qing looked up at Jinse, then quickly looked away subconsciously.

After a while, she said in a muffled voice: "You are right, Sister Cha Lan is willing, so what can we outsiders say?"

This is indeed the truth, but Cha Qing's tone sounded a bit angry.

Jinse thought for a while and asked, "We can all take a rest after a while, or else let's go out of the palace together to find Sister Cha Lan?"

When Cha Qing heard this, he subconsciously said, "No need!" Jin Se was stunned and looked at Cha Qing as if she didn't quite understand.

Since Cha Qing is worried about Cha Lan, why not take advantage of his vacation to leave the palace and find Cha Lan, so that he can at least see if she is really doing well?
Cha Qing denied it too quickly just now.

Cha Qing seemed to realize this as well. He paused and said, "Didn't you just say that Sister Cha Lan seemed to be doing well? Besides, if she really entered the Prince of Ankang's Mansion, it wouldn't be that easy for us to see her, right? With our current identities, there's no need to bother!"

That's true.

Jinse thought about it and nodded, not taking it too seriously.

Her relationship with Cha Lan is not as good as that between Cha Qing and Cha Lan. If Cha Qing has no intention of meeting Cha Lan, she naturally would not insist.

Perhaps because he had something on his mind, Cha Qing spoke much less for the next half day.

Although Jinse was curious, she didn't ask any more questions since Chaqing just said it was nothing after she asked him twice.

After the two of them finished their shift, Jinse thought about the emperor's instructions and went to the residence of the twelfth prince in Anning Palace.

After seeing Jinse leave, Cha Qing thought for a while and ran to the kitchen. She asked a familiar kitchen assistant for some delicious pastries and snacks, and then went to find her sisters.

Because the snacks given by Cha Qing were delicious, and because of the desire to thank the person who gave them, within two days a young lady from the sundries department found out everything Cha Qing wanted to know.

During the lunch break, Cha Qing brought some delicious food to the sundry section to look for someone.

After eating most of the meal together, Cha Qing asked, "Lan Yu, tell me quickly, what have you found out?"

The little palace maid named Lan Yu touched her stomach which was about 70% full, picked up a chicken leg leisurely and chewed it slowly, while slowly saying: "I heard from Manager Cai who went out of the palace to make purchases that Sister Cha Lan, who used to work in the Imperial Tea Room, is said to have entered the Ankang County Prince's Mansion and became a member of the Ankang County Prince's backyard."

Cha Qing frowned: "Really?"

Lan Yu nodded and said, "It's true. Steward Cai is in charge of the palace's purchasing affairs and often goes out of the palace. He has connections with many people in the mansions outside the palace. Steward Cai heard this from the servants in Prince Ankang's mansion himself, so he must be right."

She finished eating the chicken leg in her hand, licked her greasy fingers, and said with emotion: "I heard from Manager Cai that Sister Cha Lan is very much liked by the Prince of Ankang County. Moreover, because Sister Cha Lan is a palace maid from the Imperial Tea House, even the Princess of Ankang County thinks highly of her."

"For us palace maids, it would be a real blessing if we could find such a good home after leaving the palace."

Lan Yu sighed with longing, and even seemed a little envious of Cha Lan.

However, Lan Yu also knew that the reason why Cha Lan had such a good ending was because she was a head maid in the Imperial Tea Room before leaving the palace.

And what about herself?
She was just a little maid in the miscellaneous department, inconspicuous and with no sense of existence. Even if she left the palace, how could she find a good home like Sister Cha Lan?
Thinking of this, Lan Yu sighed, picked up another piece of chicken with chopsticks, put it into his mouth, and started to chew it hard.

Cha Qing ate with him absentmindedly for a while. When Lan Yu had finished several plates of delicious food with not even a drop of soup left, he greeted him perfunctorily and then the two separated.

Jinse was not on duty that day. Chaqing thought about it for the whole afternoon and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he went to Sui'anyuan as soon as his duty was over.

In Sui'an Courtyard, Jinse had just returned from Ning'an Palace. Because she returned a little late, she brought back dinner from Ning'an Palace today.

The Twelfth Prince looked like he was worried that Jinse would have nothing to eat, so he asked Lin Yi to prepare some delicious meals for her.

Before Jinse could put the food on the table, Chaqing walked in with a strange look on his face.
