The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

"Ayu?" Yan Zhu went to find Wen Yu, but there was no one in the room.

When I went downstairs and asked, she said she was in a hurry to go out.

"Out?! Then... let me go!"

She adjusted her hair and clothes in the mirror and went out.

The car was being loaded at the door. The young master just now asked for thirty boxes of snacks, all in the best packaging, and asked Yan Zhu to send them to Prince Wu's Mansion.

Yan Zhu personally took over such a large business and was very happy.

As soon as he arrived at the car, Li Jiang ran over. Seeing Yan Zhu looking like she was about to go out, he asked: "Miss Yan, what are you doing to deliver goods to customers?"

Yan Zhu said: "This guest is from Prince Wu's Mansion! He said he wanted me to deliver it in person, and he also wanted me to introduce him to the princess!"

Li Jiang didn't believe it: "I asked you to introduce dim sum to the Queen Concubine?! Miss Yan, that's the Queen Concubine! What are they busy with every day? How come I met you for a few boxes of dim sum? I didn't recognize you before!"

"Not a few boxes, but thirty boxes!" Yan Zhu retorted.

"Three hundred boxes, the queen will not summon her!" Li Jiang was anxious.

"You say he is a liar? No, he even asked people to settle all the accounts!"

"That's not what I meant, but..."

"Okay, okay! I'll be right back!"

"No! The girl is not here now, so you can't go out by yourself!"

"I'm not going by myself, Master Sun?! Come on! Look, Master Sun is going, and Jinhuan Yinhuan is also following, isn't that enough?!"

"This……"

"We're going to Prince Wu's Mansion, not to the corner of the corner! Okay! I'll obey the customers!" Yan Zhu happily got into the car, and Jin Huan and Yin Huan followed suit.

Sun Ying scratched his head, "Those who eat in the private room are not ordinary people. They have made requests... Don't worry, Prince Wu's Mansion is not an ordinary place. Since we let the girl go, we shouldn't embarrass her."

Li Jiang turned around anxiously: "When will the girl come back!"

……

Wen Yu had indeed gone out, and she came to Princess Huiduan's house.

Princess Huiduan invited a few friends to play at home today, and also invited the three sisters from the Wen family.

He also sent someone to the store to bring some food. He also asked someone to tell Wen Yu that if she was here and had the skills, she would also be invited to go.

Wen Yu wanted to see what Princess Huiduan had in mind, so she also delivered the goods to her door.

This was her first time visiting the princess, and she couldn't help but be amazed when she entered the door.

I heard from Mrs. Zhang that her late husband had a similar background to Magistrate Zhang. It seems that the princess’s natal family has a lot of money!

In fact, Wen Yu really likes this temperament.

A group of women were sitting on the porch, wearing gorgeous spring clothes and a leisurely atmosphere, listening to music and watching dance!

Really enjoy it!

When the princess saw her coming, she said to the person next to her: "Look, this is what I mean by gentle words."

Wen Yu smiled and saluted: "Princess, ladies and gentlemen!"

"Oh, this little one! It's so pretty!"

"She's very capable! Recently, I've been throwing a lot of money at her!" the princess said worriedly.

"Tell us this? If you put a little bit between your fingers, Cui Fengying will be so beautiful!"

"Hey, why is she involved?!"

"This is her future daughter-in-law!"

"Oh, this is Qi Yang's fiancée!"

There was an uproar, and Wen Yu couldn't hear clearly what everyone was saying. Anyway, judging from their faces, some were happy and some were unhappy...

Wen Su and Wen Wan came over: "Big sister!"

Wen Yu smiled: "Is it fun?!"

"Ok!"

Wen Yu turned to look for Wen Jiao. At first glance, I saw that she was sitting very close to the princess. She was dressed very beautifully and sat in a very presentable manner. She shook her hand with Wen Yu...

This is...proud again.

……

When Yan Zhu arrived at the palace, Sun Ying saw the imposing gate and the guards in front of it from a distance, and felt worried.

"Girl, our status means we can't walk through the door!"

"Yeah, what should I do?"

As the car approached and stopped on the side of the road, a man came up and asked, "Are you here to bring snacks to the palace?"

"Yes! We are enjoying it!"

"Please come with me!" The man didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the alley next to him.

Sun Ying thought to herself: It's better to take the side door.

After walking for a while, we arrived at the side door.

There was a female officer who was quite old and was waiting with a few servants. Seeing the car coming, he stepped forward and asked, "Who is in charge?"

Sun Ying and Yan Zhu looked at each other. "Me..." Yan Zhu was really nervous.

"Please follow me!" He turned around and ordered his men to move the goods and take inventory.

"Oh... Then Jin Huan, you can follow." Yan Zhu got out of the car and called Jin Huan.

It was also the first time for Jin Huan to enter such a place. His calves were shaking and he carefully supported Yan Zhu.

After entering the door and looking around, Yan Zhu felt a little regretful... She should have listened to Li Jiang.

I saw the female officer in front of me walking at an even pace, as if measured with a ruler. The upper body did not move, and the tiny footsteps below made no sound at all.

She became even more uneasy.

Following the female officer through the courtyards, they finally arrived at a main hall.

Two women stood motionless at the door.

The female officer turned around, said softly: "Wait a moment!" and went in. After a while, he came out: "Miss Yan, please come in!"

Your Majesty really wants to see me!

There were no gentle words around her, and Yan Zhu's face turned pale. "It's okay, please come in!" The female officer motioned to Jin Huan to stand where he was and not move.

Yan Zhu had no choice but to go in.

There were several people in the room, all doing their own things.

Behind the large desk sat a noble lady.

Yan Zhu knelt down and kowtowed: "People's daughter Yan Zhu, I have seen the empress!" Her voice was a little hollow.

The lady lowered her eyes and said slowly: "No courtesy, stay flat!"

Yan Zhu stood up.

Only then did Princess Wu take a closer look. No wonder her son was attracted to her...she was really a beauty!

Speaking from her own point of view, with Yang Ru in the first place, she didn't like any kind of beauty. When I first fell in love with Wen Yu, it was because that girl had a clean and well-behaved temperament, and she didn't seem to be entangled with a man!

This one in front of me...

"What's your name?" Princess Wu said in a very soft tone.

"A folk girl...named Yan Zhu!"

"Who else is at home?"

Yan Zhu shook her head: "To tell you the truth, Yan Zhu is an orphan."

Princess Wu was even more unhappy.

But looking at this girl, she is not too young, but her expression is innocent, and she is dressed more elegantly than ordinary official ladies. He shouldn't have suffered much.

"Then who are you from Wen Yu?"

"Does your Majesty know Ayu?"

Princess Wu smiled.

"I am Uncle Ayu's goddaughter! Therefore, I am godsister to Ayu. Zhuzhu is my sister!" Yanzhu relaxed.

What is this mess?

"You can make snacks!?"

Two girls came in. One was holding two boxes, and the other was holding a plate with a few pieces stacked on it. They placed them in front of Princess Wu. They looked fresh and asked Yan Zhu.

"I know a little bit, and the snacks I sent to you are basically Yan Zhu's idea..."

Princess Wu tasted a little and said, "Well, it's really good! Okay, you can go down!"

Yan Zhu felt relieved, quickly saluted, and was led out by the palace maid.

In the palace, two guards who were patrolling suddenly heard a strange soft sound. I looked for it, but found nothing.

I just smelled a strange smell.

The two people twitched their noses to smell and search, but found nothing.

"What's so stinky!"

On the high roof sat the beggar. He held his head in his hands, and his eyes, which were originally confused and dazed, turned out to be much clearer. But with some pain.

Just now, he saw the lady in palace clothes.

At first glance, I was shocked and almost fell down.

He should have recognized this woman, but the pain in her... memory flooded him like a tide!

I almost couldn't breathe.

A woman appeared in my mind, extremely beautiful. But just like the person in the painting, she was neither happy nor sad, as if nothing in the world could move her.

……

Prince Yongqing returned to his residence after finishing his work. As soon as he entered the house, he knew that Yan Zhu had come with snacks and his mother-in-law also met her.

So he happily came in and asked.

Princess Wu's expression was not as good as he thought.

"Concubine, how are you?"

"If you like it, just keep it by your side!" Princess Wu was writing something. When he asked, she said nothing but obediently.

"But, didn't you say you wanted to choose a concubine last time?"

"She comes from the common people and doesn't understand any rules. She looks too naive. Besides, she has a bad reputation as an orphan among the people. When she reaches the rank of concubine, she has to deal with the people in the house. It is possible to enter the palace for various things.

She can't be like this! He is too young to be trained. Moreover, given her status as a concubine, her position is not low. "

"But...based on her relationship with Wen Yu, Wen Yu may not be willing!"

"She doesn't want to?! What's the matter, it's her turn to speak? She married Qi Wu in a high position! Do you think she has the ability to make my decision?"

"...then it will be done. If you can do it, it will be done! Concubine... My son asked, Yan Zhu, she knows how to cook and make snacks! In the future, I can take good care of my concubine!"

Princess Wu thought of the snacks she had just eaten! "It's not bad! But, in order to please her, you brought so much home at once, and you couldn't eat it all!? You made me give it here and there!"

He cursed in his heart, he is just like his father, a big lover!

"Hehe..." Prince Yongqing smiled. "Mother, if I take her there tomorrow, wouldn't it be difficult!?"

He thought that it would be a blessing in the world to be able to bathe with this beauty in a hot spring.

"If it were someone else, it would be easier to handle. Is she involved with the Qi family and the Cui family? Just wait a little longer!"

"Oh..." Prince Yongqing lost his energy.

The beggar was shocked by the past. When Yan Zhu left, he was not in a hurry to follow.

As a result, I heard the conversation between mother and son.

Now he was planning to leave. When he climbed over the wall and crossed the ridge, he finally alerted the palace guards: "Who is this person? Stop!" and they came to pursue him.

He took his time and kept running. His movement skills weren't that special, so a secret guard caught up to him and slashed him with a knife.

He dodged to the side, running towards the secret guard's neck with his two fingers like swords.

The secret guard didn't take him seriously at all. He ducked aside for a moment, but the knife continued to fall.

But he never expected that a soft sword would accompany the fingers. It was so powerful that the secret guard felt a chill on his neck and fell to the ground.

The only person who saw what he looked like died.

The other guards could only smell the strong stench he left behind...
