Chapter 2401: Unt.i.tled
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Tongque had occasionally heard people tease the sacred lady with the crown prince together over the years. Zuo Qingluan would chide those people, but afterward, she would always smile.
“Now!” Zuo Qingluan prompted.
“Yes!” Tongque happily went to run the errand for her.
She was thrilled to know that their sacred lady had a relations.h.i.+p with the famous crown prince.
Because she knew that when a n.o.ble lady married, their maid usually became the new husband’s concubine. Tongque was from a good family herself, so the prospect of becoming a concubine didn’t excite her much. However, becoming Jun Linyuan’s concubine was a completely different story!
The crown prince had two residences, which was unprecedented.
He said he needed the freedom, or he would stop being the crown prince. What could Emperor Wu do? In the end, he had to build another house for Jun Linyuan outside the palace.
Jun Linyuan never stayed at his residence in the palace.
Instead, he usually lived in the other one.
Tongque was confident that she would be warmly welcomed by the crown prince’s residence.
After all, she was from Firmament Palace!
THE Firmament Palace!
However…
She was received by the doorman first.
The old man didn’t react to the name of Firmament Palace, but he almost jumped when he heard Zuo Qingluan’s name.
Zuo Qingluan?!
Didn’t she and Feng Wu used to be called the two genius girls of the imperial capital? That was big news!
He immediately sent a young servant to deliver the message to Feng.
Feng was hard to locate, so he found Granny Gong in the end.
Granny Gong frowned when she saw the letter. “Zuo Qingluan? As in that young lady of the Zuo family?”
The young servant said, “Yes, her. The maid is so arrogant. Granny Gong, what should we do?”
It seemed that someone had upset the crown prince recently, and he was very grumpy. The entire residence was on edge.
The servant said, “Doesn’t everyone say that His Royal Highness is fond of Miss Zuo? Will he be less angry if we invite the lady here?”
Granny Gong found the suggestion idiotic. Who said that His Royal Highness was fond of Zuo Qingluan? She had to get rid of that rumor!
She opened the letter to see that it had been written on top-quality paper, and the handwriting was beautiful as well.
Before Granny Gong could make up her mind, Tongque came in with someone else.
That person was Zhen Xia, one of the head maids in the crown prince’s residence.
She showed Tongque in.
Zhen Xia smiled. “I saw that Tongque came to see His Royal Highness when I returned, so I showed her in. She represents Firmament Palace, so we have to be polite. Don’t you agree, Granny Gong?”
Granny Gong narrowed her eyes.
Zhen Xia only smiled innocently.
Granny Gong said indifferently, “His Royal Highness isn’t in. If Miss Zuo wants to visit, please find another day.”
Tongque’s face darkened.
She had never thought that a maid would stop her.
