Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 750 Is he still the same man she used to know?

Lu Yunfei really felt that these two women had suddenly become childish and immature.

The scariest thing is, they seem to get along really well?

Lu Yunfei felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he were old and frail at such a young age.

"Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law, it's getting late. I'll take you back to your residence to rest," he said.

"I don't want to go back. I have to come back early tomorrow morning to pay my respects to my grandmother and father, which means I'll have to make another trip."

Chu Yueli was truly exhausted; she was particularly prone to fatigue after becoming pregnant.

But I don't want to tell Consort Yu about this yet, for fear that she will worry.

The situation in southern Mongolia remains unclear, and we don't know what changes might occur after the new year. We'll wait until things stabilize before making any decisions.

She tugged at Consort Yu's sleeve and blinked, "Mother, I want to sleep here tonight."

"Then let's stay here. It'll keep my mother company." If the concubine hadn't had to stay in the palace tonight, she would have liked to go to the Prince Mo's residence and stay with them.

Her eldest son is still on the frontier, which is heartbreaking. At least she can see her younger son and daughter-in-law when she wakes up, which is some kind of comfort.

"Then I'll go take a bath, change my clothes, and go to bed." Chu Yueli stood up and stretched after eating and drinking her fill. "Mother, I don't have any clean clothes to change into."

"Alright, I'll have Granny Ji prepare it for you right away. You can go and rest." Consort Yu called out to the outside, "Granny."

"Coming, coming, coming right away." Granny Ji went to find a maid to serve her.

Lu Yunfei was somewhat idle.

At this point, there were only two hours left until dawn.

But in reality, they couldn't rest until dawn. They had to get up before daybreak and go to the Empress Dowager's Longevity Palace to wait for her to wake up and pay their respects.

After that, he had to rush to the Hall of Diligent Governance to pay his respects to his father.

After that, we were to have breakfast together in the Imperial Garden. As arranged by the Empress Dowager, we ate vegetarian food prepared by the master of Chang Le Palace.

After a series of events, I'm quite exhausted.

He looked at Chu Yueli and said, "Go and rest. What do you want to eat tomorrow morning? I'll have the cook prepare something special for you. You need to fast for at least an hour to pay your respects to your grandmother and father. You can't survive that long, you starving ghost."

"How dare you speak to your sister-in-law like that?" Consort Yu rolled her eyes at him.

Lu Yunfei ignored her and only looked at Chu Yueli: "What do you want to eat? Tell me quickly!"

"Jade-colored cake, shrimp cake, and a bowl of pumpkin soup will do." Chu Yueli cooperated and left after saying that.

Although Lu Yunfei wasn't good at saying nice things, and even called her a vixen at every turn, Chu Yueli realized more and more over time that this guy had a really good and pure heart.

Lu Yunfei followed behind her, still nagging, "It's so late, don't get your hair wet, you'll catch a cold."

"I understand," Chu Yueli replied from afar, then turned and went inside.

Lu Yunfei ignored her and was still pondering what she had just said: "What is Jade Face Cake?"

"Why don't you just ask the cook?" Yu Fei said casually from not far behind, standing by the door.

“That’s true.” Lu Yunfei didn’t waste any time and immediately went to find the cook.

Granny Ji walked to Consort Yu's side, watched Lu Yunfei's departing figure, and couldn't help but sigh.

"When did the Ninth Prince become so caring?" He even knew to tell his Fourth Princess not to get her hair wet. Is this still the Ninth Prince she used to know?

"An elder sister-in-law is like a mother." Consort Yu sighed, feeling utterly helpless. "But I, as her mother, have never enjoyed such treatment. It's truly unfair!"
