Chapter 840 Purple 1 proposes marriage!
"Can you see clearly?"
"Your Highness, I saw it for sure. That person returned to the Ming Prince's residence and became a nanny serving Princess Nali. Everyone in the Ming Prince's residence calls her Granny Feng."
"Hmm, go and investigate this Granny Feng right away. Although she is someone close to Princess Nali, she may not be her confidante. The waters in the Ming Prince's mansion seem to run very deep."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will take care of it immediately."
Zi Yi watched the guard retreat, then pondered for a moment, "Your Highness, do you think Princess Nali wouldn't harm Young Master Mu like this?"
“Nali is now a concubine of the Prince of Ming. What reason would she have to make things difficult for Mu Qingxuan? Moreover, she might not even know such a person. Therefore, it is obvious that the mastermind is hiding in the Prince of Ming’s mansion. However, it must be an old man in the Prince of Ming’s mansion, and it is definitely not Princess Nali.”
"Your Highness, Princess Nali is currently raising Consort Luo's son. Could it be..."
"These are all just our speculations. Consort Luo hasn't made any moves at all, has she?"
"Your Highness, that's right."
Duanmu Chuze narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that this Consort Luo had learned her lesson. Or perhaps, she truly had nothing to do with this matter?
However, given the current situation, her chances are probably the highest.
"Alright, keep a close eye on this matter. As for Chu Yan, if we find that she dares to leak anything, deal with her directly."
"Yes, Your Highness. In my opinion, that Chu Yan is nothing more than a woman who is greedy for power. She has been missing for a whole day, and the Xie family has not sent anyone to look for her. Presumably, they do not take her seriously."
"Of course I wouldn't take her seriously. If it weren't for her, how could Xie Si's reputation be ruined? You can go now. By the way, I heard that you used to have feelings for Rong Yue. Is that true or not?"
Zi Yi blushed, lowered her head, and then lightly traced the ground with her toes, stammering, "Well, if the Crown Princess can't bear to part with Rong Yue, then this subordinate will wait."
"What are you saying? Are you trying to portray the Crown Princess as domineering and unreasonable?"
"My subordinates dare not."
"Hmph! If you have feelings for her, you should say it. How can she know if you don't tell her? You've been with me for so long, how come you're still so stupid? Can't you even open your brain?"
"Yes, Your Highness." Having understood his master's meaning, there was hope!
Zi smiled so wide her mouth almost reached behind her ears, "Then, Your Highness, what do you think of my marriage?"
"What marriage?" Duanmu Chuze glared at him. "Did the Crown Princess agree? She's the Crown Princess's woman; I can't make that decision. If you want to win her heart, you'd better find a way to persuade the Crown Princess!"
Zi Yi's face immediately fell.
They are now in the Eastern Palace.
Zi Yi could not easily enter the backyard, let alone set foot in Yichun Palace again; wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
"Master, please have pity on your subordinate, hehe, your subordinate kowtows to you."
Seeing Zi Yi's grinning face, Duanmu Chuze laughed and scolded, "Get lost! I'll watch over your future, but do you expect me to help you pursue your wife?"
Zi Yi looked at him pitifully, "Master, I'm bad with words, I don't know how to say it."
"If you don't know, go learn! You've been with me for so long, and you can't even ask for a marriage proposal?"
"My lord, please help your subordinate."
Seeing his flushed face, I knew he was really anxious.
Duanmu Chuze shook his head, looking helpless, and said, "Fine, fine, I'm afraid of you. Alright, come with me to Yichun Palace later, and you can ask for my hand in marriage yourself."
"Thank you, Master."
Inside Yichun Palace, Mu Xinnuan was lounging listlessly on the chaise longue.
"Your Highness, would you like to try this? It's a new dessert made by the kitchen, with a sweet and sour flavor. Would you like to try it?"
Aunt Fang was getting a little anxious. This constant lack of appetite and eating so little wasn't a good thing. What if the future young master didn't grow up well? Wouldn't everyone be worried?
Besides, this Crown Princess is no ordinary person; the child in her belly will either be a prince or a princess.
If their poor service were to affect the young master's health, they would likely face beatings and even death.
"Aunt Fang, you don't need to work anymore, take a break. I really don't have an appetite right now, I don't want to eat."
This time, even Rongyue, who was standing to the side, became anxious. "Your Majesty, you are almost five months pregnant. This is the time when the baby is growing. If you don't eat enough, won't the little master in your belly not get enough nutrition? Even if you are thinking about the baby in your belly, you should try to eat more, shouldn't you?"
Mu Xin Nuan really had no appetite at all, but she couldn't resist their persuasion.
Well, I guess I'll give it a try.
I managed to eat a small piece of pastry, but I really couldn't eat anymore.
Aunt Fang and the others dared not persuade her any further. If she ate any more and then vomited it up, it would all have been for nothing.
"Your Highness, I noticed that the wintersweet outside seems to have sprouted buds. Although they haven't bloomed yet, these buds still look quite poetic. Shall I help you over to take a look?"
Mu Xin Nuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Staying cooped up in the house all the time really put her in a bad mood.
When Duanmu Chuze arrived at Yichun Palace, he was told that the Empress had gone to the back to admire the winter plum blossoms.
"Your Highness, I've noticed that Her Majesty hasn't had much of an appetite lately. Perhaps she's been feeling too stifled. How about you take Her Majesty to stay at the villa outside for a few days?"
"To stay at the villa for a while?"
Seeing that the Crown Prince seemed somewhat troubled, Aunt Fang added, "If it's inconvenient to go to the villa, it would be good to stay at the Chang Le Prince's residence outside the palace for a few days. As long as you can change your place, perhaps Your Highness's appetite will increase."
Duanmu Chuze nodded thoughtfully. That's true. If she temporarily moved to the Chang Le Prince's Mansion, it would be much more convenient for Madam Mu and the Li family to come and visit her.
That way, she won't be all alone; it's too boring.
"Okay, take some people to tidy up. We'll move to the Chang Le Prince's Mansion tomorrow for a short stay. Also, have Steward De come with us to the Chang Le Prince's Mansion. Hmm, have him go there first and tidy up properly."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zi Yi followed behind Duanmu Chuze, and then, under Aunt Fang's somewhat surprised gaze, they went to the back garden together.
When did the master allow Zi Yi to come to Yichun Palace as well?
Without thinking twice, Aunt Fang went to pack her things.
Zi Yi, on the other hand, was quite direct. Upon seeing Mu Xin Nuan, he immediately knelt down and said, "This subordinate is in love with Miss Rong Yue. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."
