Chapter 359: Surprised to be able to enter the palace
When Peng Lu came to Prince Yu's mansion, he had never thought that he could successfully complete the task assigned to him by the Marquis!
He hadn't even thought about how to find ways to complete this mission or how to phrase his request.
His only thought was:
He can come in peace and return in peace;
By tomorrow, he will be able to leave the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion and the capital safely.
As for the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion, he didn't want to stay there any longer!
Now that he has come to Prince Yu's mansion, Peng Lu has only one hope, which is -
Don't anger His Royal Highness Prince Yu!
Don't anger the people in Prince Yu's Mansion!
According to Peng Lu’s idea: he would tell His Royal Highness Prince Yu that it was the Marquis who asked me to borrow the money!
His Royal Highness Prince Yu... uh... no, with my status I should not be able to see His Royal Highness Prince Yu!
The people in Prince Yu’s Mansion said: No loan!
Then, I said to myself: Sorry for disturbing you, goodbye!
Then he turned and left.
Then, he went back to report to the Marquis: The prince will not lend it to me!
It's that simple!
As for... mentioning the imperial decree of marriage, mentioning the eldest lady, and mentioning the father-in-law and son-in-law relationship between the Marquis and His Royal Highness Prince Yu...
Or repeatedly pleading with tears in your eyes...
Nonsence!
I can't afford to lose face like that!
That’s what Peng Lu thought.
He still thought so until he knocked on the west corner gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, entered the west corner gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, and was brought into the palace by the gate guards.
However, Peng Lu felt somewhat surprised and surprised——
He was not turned away, he actually entered Prince Yu's Mansion!
When he said that he was the accountant of the Marquis Qinxing's mansion and that he was here on the orders of the Marquis to meet His Royal Highness Prince Yu, the guard said nothing and just gestured for him to go in.
But he saw the expression on the guard's face...
That expression clearly showed... that he had already expected someone to come to Marquis Qinxing's mansion!
Peng Lu just felt his face getting hot!
I am so ashamed! I am so embarrassed!
But then he thought, even the great Marquis Qinxing could be so shameless, and he was just an accountant sent to deliver messages, why should he feel ashamed for his master?
How redundant!
The guard who led him here was like a mute!
Except for asking: Who are you?
What brings you to Prince Yu’s Mansion?
After that he didn't utter a single word!
It seems like saying one more word to myself would be a waste!
However, thinking about the current situation of Qinxing Marquis's Mansion, thinking about my identity and the purpose of coming here...
How dare I argue?
The guard took Peng Lu to the side hall and then turned and left.
Peng Lu was left alone.
Peng Lu sat in the side hall waiting anxiously.
Here, housekeeper Lu Ming instructed An Ping: "Go to the side hall and tell them to wait for a moment."
Anping agreed and ran away first.
Lu Ming, Ta Yun and Ling Bo then walked towards the side hall while chatting and laughing.
Anping ran to the side hall and bowed to Peng Lu who was sitting inside: "Mr. Peng, please sit here for a while. I will go and pour you some tea!"
"Oh, no, no! Thank you so much!" Peng Lu quickly stood up and thanked him.
Peng Lu wanted to ask Anping who he was going to meet later.
But after thinking about it, I still didn't dare to ask.
This is Prince Yu’s palace!
Now that I'm here, why should I say more or ask more questions?
Who to meet and when to meet is not something you can decide.
As an accountant in a declining marquis's mansion, could I really expect that His Royal Highness Prince Yu would receive me in Yin'an Palace?
Peng Lu shook his head in self-mockery.
Prince Yu’s Mansion is Prince Yu’s Mansion, it is indeed extraordinary!
The Qinxing Marquis Mansion where he lives is not comparable to any other mansion.
But now that I am in Prince Yu's Mansion, I can still clearly feel the noble aura and invisible majesty that cannot be compared with the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion!
Peng Lu didn't even dare to breathe and just sat on the edge of the chair closest to the outside.
What a joke! Even though it's in the side hall, I don't dare to sit upright!
There were a few candles burning in the side hall, illuminating the spacious hall.
Peng Lu took a peek and saw a large and heavy screen, a table and chair made of golden nanmu wood, a large vase as tall as a person, and priceless ornaments...
Such a grand hall is just a side hall!
Peng Lu sat here, not daring to move.
He even felt that there must be several pairs of eyes staring at him where he couldn't see.
Until I heard the footsteps of several people outside the hall.
Although he didn't know who the visitor was, Peng Lu quickly stood up and stood still with his hands lowered respectfully.
Butler Lu Ming walked in front, followed by Ta Yun and Ling Bo, and they walked into the side hall together.
The three of them looked at Peng Lu who was standing in the side hall.
He is said to be an accountant, but he looks more like a scholar.
He had regular facial features, a slender figure, and a grey robe that looked very decent on him.
This person gives a good impression from appearance, but it's a pity that he is from the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion.
Steward Lu Ming politely bowed and said, "May I ask if this gentleman is from the Marquis of Qinxing's Mansion?"
"Yes!" Peng Lu hurriedly bowed in return, "I am the accountant of Marquis Qinxing's mansion, my name is Peng Lu.
May I ask who your family is...?"
"Oh, I am Lu Ming, the steward of Prince Yu's Mansion.
These two are the personal guards of His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
I didn't know Mr. Peng was coming. We are sorry for not welcoming you. I hope Mr. Peng will forgive me!" Lu Ming bowed, smiled and said gently.
Ta Yun and Ling Bo had serious expressions on their faces, with their hands behind their backs, standing tall and straight side by side, which made Peng Lu feel as if a cold air was coming towards them!
"How dare you!
I am sorry for being so rude, please forgive me, butler and the two guards!"
Peng Lu bowed respectfully to greet him.
