Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 39 The Emperor's Dragon-Patterned Jade Pendant

"Baby, you should wear this outfit today."

After returning from the morning court session, Du Huai'an dug Yu Liu out of bed and handed her a small, royal blue dress.

"Today is the sixtieth birthday of the Prime Minister's wife, and I should attend for both reason and duty. However, we don't need to make it too grand. We can just go in as ordinary guests, which will also be a way of showing respect to the Prime Minister." After telling Yu Liu about today's schedule, Du Huai'an rubbed Yu Liu's long hair with two fingers. "Baby, come with me today too."

Half-asleep, Yu Liu said, "Oh."

As noon approached, Du Huai'an changed into the same royal blue robe as Yu Liu. The color made him look even younger and more handsome. He lifted the robe at his chest to show Yu Liu the subtle design on the garment.

"This was specially made for me, and the baby will sit here."

The clothes he was wearing were also specially made. Several extra pleats were specially designed on the chest area, and inside the pleats was a pocket. Yu Liu could stand, lie down, or sit inside. Moreover, the outer pleats were cleverly designed to conceal Yu Liu while ensuring that Yu Liu could stick her head out without being discovered.

Carefully placing his baby in the pocket on his chest, Du Huai'an boarded the ordinary carriage he had been riding in before and slowly headed towards the Prime Minister's residence.

Du Huai'an simply changed his clothes. Most of the guests who came to the Prime Minister's residence had just attended the morning court session and had not yet forgotten what the emperor looked like. However, upon seeing Du Huai'an's clothes, they knew that he did not intend to reveal his identity. Therefore, everyone exchanged tactful glances and, under the emperor's gaze, pretended to be familiar with him while speaking to him with respect.

After confirming that her plan was foolproof, Chen Qingyan secretly went to the garden specially decorated by the Prime Minister's residence, where the old lady's birthday banquet was being held.

Chen Qingyan secretly peeked inside from a distance. Her plan required leveraging the power of others, and she had long ago set her sights on her target—Mu Yuanzhan.

She now needs to confirm whether Mu Yuanzhan has actually come or not.

Du Huai'an's royal blue outfit was quite flamboyant, and Chen Qingyan noticed him immediately. Her eyes lit up, and she added Du Huai'an to her list of targets.

Du Huai'an, acting as an ordinary official, chatted happily with his ministers, while Chen Qingyan was already ready.

Yang Zifeng, the son of the Minister of War who also came to congratulate the old lady, received an invitation from Chen Qingyan.

“Interesting. I thought the Prime Minister’s daughter was a lady from a respectable family, but I didn’t expect she would like places like this…” Yang Zifeng had a lewd smile on his face as he walked deeper and deeper, until he met Chen Qingyan, who had been waiting for him for a long time, in a secluded place.

"Yan'er, what did you call me here for?"

He rubbed his hands together, looking anxious.

"Whatever it is, it's naturally about discussing our engagement. How could someone as ugly as you, physically unfaithful, mentally impure, always hanging out with prostitutes, carrying a folding fan and acting like a charming young master when you're actually worse looking than a sow, possibly be worthy of me?"

Chen Qingyan's face was cold, and a series of insults came out of her mouth, making Yang Zifeng unable to believe his ears.

Yang Zifeng, consumed by anger, failed to notice that the personal maid who had just been standing next to Chen Qingyan had vanished.

These past few days, Mu Yuanzhan has developed a new perspective on Chen Qingyan. He is delighted by her changes and cannot take his eyes off her. She is all he can think about. However, he doesn't know what the person he admires thinks of him, so he can only bury his feelings deep in his heart.

After arriving at the Chen family's residence, he sat silently to one side. Due to his appearance, some officials who wanted to exchange pleasantries with him gave up the idea of ​​coming forward.

Just then, a somewhat panicked maidservant came into his view. He wouldn't be mistaken; the maidservant's name was Liu Xu, and she was Chen Qingyan's personal maidservant.

"Why aren't you by your young mistress's side? What are you doing here?" The old lady's birthday banquet is separate, with men and women sitting at different tables. This place is all men. What is this little maid doing barging in like this?

Upon seeing Mu Yuanzhan, the terrified little girl seemed to have found her pillar of support: "General, please save Miss! That Yang Zifeng, Yang Zifeng... he's going to molest Miss!!!"

"What?! Take me to save your young lady!!" Mu Yuanzhan didn't have time to think about why Yang Zifeng was so stupid to choose this time to molest Chen Qingyan. He hurriedly ran towards where Chen Qingyan was, led by the maid.

At the same time, Du Huai'an, who was sitting in his seat drinking, was bumped by a maidservant serving him. The maidservant picked up the wine pot that had been knocked to the ground, and without a word of apology, turned around and left in a hurry.

The maid had her head down, so her face couldn't be seen clearly. It seemed that someone didn't want him to lash out at her.

Du Huai'an opened his palm, revealing a slip of paper that had fallen from the maid's body.

【I'm in Shengtao Garden, save me.】 Signed Chen Qingyan.

It's that woman again? This note definitely wasn't written by her. Who on earth wants to lure me to see Chen Qingyan?

Du Huai'an narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling his baby's special attention to Chen Qingyan. His baby thought she had concealed it well, but even if Du Huai'an himself couldn't see some of her little actions, the guards who were always around him would report all of these things to him.

Ever since he saved Chen Qingyan, Du Huai'an had noticed that Bao Bao seemed to pay special attention to Chen Qingyan.

"Since someone has invited us, we might as well go and take a look."

Putting the note away, Du Huai'an tapped his chest: "Perfect, baby, come with me to take a look."

Yu Liu, who had just figured out what was going on, said: "...Shall I go with you to Chen Qingyan's bed?"

However, after the incident of saving the damsel in distress, Yu Liu was no longer in such a hurry. Nothing is set in stone. Since the beginning of Chen Qingyan and Du Huai'an's relationship had already changed, the future might also change. Let's wait and see.

However, we can't do nothing either.

"Um, is it just the two of us going?" Yu Liu hesitated before speaking, even after they were far away from the crowd. "You are the emperor, many people here know that. What if this is someone else's conspiracy...?"

Du Huai'an knew he wasn't alone, but Yu Liu was unaware of the existence of the secret guards. Her concern warmed Du Huai'an's heart, and he didn't mind following her advice.

So Du Huai'an made a decision that surprised the person behind the scenes who was passing on the message to him. He took the note and openly conveyed the news that Chen Qingyan, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, had encountered danger in the Shengtao Garden in the mansion. He also expressed his concern appropriately. The emperor was so worried, how could a subject lag behind?

Moreover, there is a prime minister here who is genuinely worried.
