Chapter 15 The Prince Doesn't Want to See Me?

Shen Muyue led four maids to the entrance of Fenghua Palace in a hurry, but was stopped by Feng Yue outside.

"Consort Shen, His Highness is currently preoccupied with official duties and has no time to see you. Please return first."

"What? You won't see me?" Shen Muyue's face instantly darkened. She thought to herself, Su Mowan just left, how come she's not available now?

Feng Yue bowed and said, "That's true. The Prince is about to enter the palace for an audience, and he specifically instructed Consort Shen to return to her residence to prepare for his departure."

Upon hearing this, Shen Muyue's expression softened slightly, but she still felt resentful.

"Where is the prince now? Go and inform him; I'll pay my respects and then leave."

Feng Yue frowned slightly, his face showing difficulty: "This... I'm afraid I can't comply."

"you--"

Shen Muyue's anger surged, and Caiwei quickly grabbed her sleeve, whispering, "Miss, don't be impulsive! Commander Feng Yue is the Prince's confidant; offending him is no good. Anyway, we'll see the Prince soon, why don't we go back and get ready?"

Shen Muyue stared at the tightly closed palace doors, then glanced at Feng Yue, who had a businesslike expression, and a look of resentment flashed in her eyes.

But she didn't dare to persist and turned away dejectedly.

"This is outrageous! Could it be that that bitch Su Mowan bribed Feng Yue to deliberately block my way?"

The more Shen Muyue thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.

Four maids followed cautiously behind, their faces beaming with smiles.

Standing to the left rear, Caiwei said, "Miss, you're overthinking it. That Feng Yue doesn't seem like someone to talk to; how could he be easily bribed by Su Mowan?"

Caihong, standing to the right rear, chimed in, "That's right, Miss. If he were so easily bribed, he wouldn't have become the Prince's trusted confidant!"

Shen Muyue pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Something's not right. How could the Prince have anticipated my arrival? And why did he specifically arrange for Feng Yue to stop me? Could it be... that the Prince doesn't want to see me?"

Caiwei and Caihong exchanged a quick glance. Caiwei hesitated and said, "Miss, think about it, the Prince just slept with Su Mowan last night. It's a bit inappropriate for you to come so early in the morning. It might not be suitable for him to see you now—"

"Hmph! It's more than just inappropriate! It's a blatant slap in the face! What's so great about that bitch Su Mowan? Why does the Prince favor her so much? What do I lack compared to her?!"

Shen Muyue grew increasingly angry, and casually plucked a blooming rose, squeezing it tightly in her hand.

Caihong shrank back in fright, while Caiwei forced a smile and explained, "How can Su Mowan be compared to Miss! It's just... although she's born out of wedlock, she still has the General's Mansion backing her up. General Su commands 300,000 troops, and the Prince probably has to consider this relationship..."

"Oh right, how come I didn't think of that!" Shen Muyue exclaimed in sudden realization, casually tossing the crumpled rose on the ground. "Let's go to the west courtyard and meet that Su Mowan!"

At this moment, Su Mowan was at a loss as Qinghe dressed her up.

"Qinghe, don't you think it's a bit too much to wear so many hairpins?" Su Mowan said helplessly.

Qinghe replied with a grin, "Consort Su, of course the more the better! The more jewelry you wear, the more it shows that the Prince dotes on you, doesn't it? Consort Shen in the East Courtyard probably doesn't even get this treatment!"

Just as Su Mowan was about to point out her superficiality, three people stormed angrily into the room.

The person in the lead was none other than Shen Muyue.

She glared at Qinghe, gritting her teeth, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

"You lowly maid, how dare you speak ill of me, the imperial concubine?!"
