‘Knock, knock, knock’, there was a noise of banging on the door, “Miss Lu, someone from the palace wants you to come in!”

"Girl, my young lady hasn't woken up yet! What are you doing here?" Lu Rong angrily pulled away the slave who was knocking on Lu Youruo's door. Yesterday, the young lady was bullied by Prince Ying and needed more time to rest.

The maid in Prince Ying's Mansion said disdainfully: "Your young lady? I can't afford to fall in love with you. Someone from the palace asked her to come into the palace, so she might as well not go, lest she pollute such a holy place like the palace~!"

"Will the emperor allow the young lady to enter the palace?" Lu Rong asked.

The slave said in an even more contemptuous tone, "How can a concubine be worthy of the emperor's favor?"

"You are so young, how come you are as arrogant as the old aunt?" Lu Rong looked at the girl in front of him, who was only eleven or two years old. How could you be as gossipy as the older aunties outside!

Just as the little girl was about to retort, Youruo's door suddenly opened.

Wearing an aqua blue lining and a purple fox fur, You Ruo, wearing a mask, asked the little girl at the door: "Who let me enter the palace?"

The little girl pursed her lips, "It's Concubine De, Miss Lu, you are really unlucky!"

"Okay, okay, we know, get out of here!" Lu Rong greeted the little girl to leave politely.

"Humph! Look how proud you are! Who wants to stay here for a long time?" the little girl said as she walked away.

Lu Rong rolled his eyes at the little maid's back, turned around and asked Youruo: "Miss, are you going?"

You Ruo smiled and said, "Can you not go? Xiao Rongrong, please help me prepare breakfast!"

Concubine De allowed Youruo to enter the palace this time, presumably to thank Youruo for what happened yesterday. Concubine De returned this favor quickly.

After getting ready to enter the palace, Youruo and Lu Rong got on the carriage sent by the palace. Due to the order of Concubine De, Youruo was not blocked when leaving Prince Ying's palace.

"Miss, you didn't bring Xiaobai with you this time, right?" Lu Rong looked at Youruo's sleeves.

Youruo shook his head, "Xiaobai was injured. I didn't see it this morning. I don't know where it went!"

Lu Youruo woke up when the little maid knocked on the door. Xiaobai could not be found on the bed, and she was worried for a while.

"Miss, are you feeling well today?" Lu Rong asked worriedly. Yesterday, the lady looked very tired, which was very pitiful.

Lu Youruo shrugged and returned: "Yesterday's exercise helped clear up the muscles and bones in my body."

Lu Rong stared at You Ruo's somewhat pale lips. Knowing that the young lady was dizzy from the carriage, he quietly stopped disturbing the young lady's rest.

When they arrived at the palace, the two got off the carriage, and a eunuch immediately greeted Youruo.

"Miss Lu, I am the little Shunzi who works with Concubine De, please come with me!" The little eunuch's attitude was quite respectful.

Youruo smiled back and led Lu Rong to follow Xiao Shunzi.

The last time he entered the palace, he only went to the imperial garden. This time, Youruo was led into the harem.

The Empress Dowager De lived in the Changle Palace in the harem. You Ruo followed Xiao Shunzi and came to the Changle Palace.

"Miss Lu, Concubine De has already prepared a banquet to entertain you." Xiao Shunzi led You Ruo and Lu Rong to the front hall of the palace.

"Thank you!" Youruo replied politely. In the palace, proper words and deeds are a must.

"Has You Ruo arrived?" Concubine De's voice came from the palace.

Xiao Shunzi shouted back: "Mother, Miss Lu is here!"

"Come in quickly!" Concubine De did not show up, but her tone was very enthusiastic.

Youruo crossed the threshold and entered the front hall. Concubine De was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was sitting on the coffee table drinking tea.

"Youruo, come on, this is the freshly soaked hair tip, it's so sweet!" Concubine De warmly greeted Youruo and sat down next to her.

You Ruo said: "Empress De Fei, you are so polite!"

"No, I have to thank Youruo very much, otherwise the lives of the little princess and Tingting will be in danger!" Concubine De handed Youruo a cup of hot Maojian tea.

Youruo took it and returned: "Thank you, empress!"
