Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 147

~ MISS MU, WHO GAVE GINGER TEA FROM THOUSANDS OF MILES ~ 

 
After entering Western Guangdong, bandits removed their masks and scarves. The one leading them was Yu Heng, who had always been beside Yue Wang. 

The other guards, dressed as bandits, stared curiously at the linen-covered burlap sack on the carriage. Some couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch it. Some even smelled it. But unfortunately, there was no smell at all, making people indistinguishable. What is inside it?

Yu Heng looked back and saw their actions and could not help but reprimand softly, “Don’t move; this is the ginger tea that Miss Mu had sent in. Eunuch Cheng had instructed me a thousand times to not damage it.”

The others looked at each other, their eyes filled with curiosity. Yu Heng should respectfully address her as Miss Mu, as she has a distinguished identity. However, they had never seen any young lady who was close to Wang Ye?

Those who could send to do this were the trusted aides of Yue Wang. Thus, they only had a few reservations when they spoke.

“Which family does this Miss Mu belong to?”

Yu Heng swept a glance at him, and the smile on his face became even more mysterious.

Without getting an answer, everyone is scratching their hearts more and more. Even though they didn’t know what kind of tea it was, they still knew how precious it was. Even if they were ordinary tea leaves, buying them all would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Which young lady actually made such a magnanimous move?

After sending the ginger tea back to Yue Wang’s residence, the curiosity in everyone’s heart did not dissipate.

After returning to the residence, Yu Heng reported to Yue Wang, “Master, all the ginger tea sent by Miss Mu has been escorted back.”

Yue Wang stood up and walked to the courtyard, where he saw the guards taking down one sack after another.

Yu Heng picked up a gunny sack and stood it up, carefully opening it for Yue Wang to check.

Curious for a long time, the guards stretched their necks to look around. After the sack opened, the inside was wrapped in a waterproof, moisture-proof felt. When the cloth lifted, a fragrant scent wafted out. Everyone could not help but take a deep breath, and their eyes filled with joy. In Western Guangdong, there was not much food to eat, and just like that, they would have to deal with the harassment and looting of Northern Xinjiang and Yunnan from time to time. In the winter, the days are even more too tight. They also didn’t have much oil and water in their stomachs as they guarded Yue Wang’s residence.

At this time, after rushing for a whole day, they suddenly smelled the scent of ginger tea, only to feel that the fragrant seemed to have grown claws, causing them to roar in their belly.

Yue Wang reached out and grabbed some ginger tea, and while the light in his eyes was still cold, there seemed to be some kind of emotion flickering in them.

Eunuch Cheng had already prepared bowls. He had quite a few bowls to help Mu Yunyao earn a reputation. Basically, he went to the guards who were responsible for escorting ginger tea.

“Wang Ye, we finally managed to get this ginger tea in here. How about we have a taste of it?” He asked for advice, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and placed it in the bowl without hesitation.

Yue Wang nodded his head lightly, causing everyone immediately burst into laughter.

Some were anxious to see Eunuch Cheng scoop a handful of ginger tea and put it directly into his mouth. Eunuch Cheng could not help but stare in pleasant surprise, “Delicious. This ginger tea is so delicious!”

He thought it would be tea, but it turned out to be yellowish rice noodles with a little dried green and diced meat. He had not expected it to be this delicious and salty.

“This was brought over by Miss Mu from afar. If I knew you would be acting like this, I wouldn’t have let you taste it!”

When Eunuch Cheng finished speaking, it immediately attracted mourning: “Don’t, Eunuch Cheng. Do you see how loyal we are to you? Let us have a taste first. Isn’t there a lot?”

“Eunuch Cheng, who is the Miss Mu you spoke of?” They had heard it from Yu Heng, and now that Eunuch Cheng had mentioned it again, it really made them extremely curious.

“Don’t ask blindly. When it’s time for you to know, you will naturally know. Alright, The ginger tea is not to be eaten dry. I have already ordered someone to bring boiled water. Everyone should go and fill the bowls to the brim.”

“Alright. Thank you very much, Eunuch Cheng.”

Speaking of delicious food, everyone temporarily suppressed their curiosity and went to boil a bowl of water.

After the hot water boiled, the fragrance was even stronger at one time. The dried ginger and green vegetables spread out and released a strong scent. The meat was exceptionally delicious and chewy. After a sip, the whole body is warm, and the aftertaste is endless!

Eunuch Cheng gave Yue Wang a bowl: “Wang Ye, do you want to have a taste too?”

Yue Wang shook his head and walked towards the carriage. After scanning the carriage, he took out the gunny sack and brought an exquisite wooden box. On the wooden box, there was a piece of paper. Above it was written: His Royal Highness Yue Wang.

Eunuch Cheng sucked on his ginger tea as he moved closer. A smile flashed across his eyes when he saw the handwriting on the paper. “Wang Ye, I presume that the contents of this box were specially prepared for you by Miss Mu. Why don’t you open it?”

Yue Wang glanced at the bowl in Eunuch Cheng’s hands: “Uncle Cheng, they have already begun drinking the second bowl.”

Eunuch Cheng turned his head and slapped the spoon in his hand over, “You brats, put down the bowl for me. Yu Heng, you’re the one I mean. You’re not allowed to carry so much. Your bowl is so big, and you put so much ginger tea in it. Wouldn’t it be a complete mess if you washed it with water?”

Taking advantage of the commotion, Yue Wang took the wooden box back to the study room and opened the box. On top of the letter were details of ginger tea’s eating method, dosage, and preservation method. It was extremely detailed, but after reading it, Yue Wang could not help but frown. He opened the oil paper and saw ginger tea inside, which was obviously different from the outside. His expression became slightly more relaxed.

Eunuch Cheng thoughtfully brought the hot water and chopsticks and left with a smile without saying anything.

Yue Wang opened a bowl of ginger tea, and just by smelling the fragrance, he felt that it was much more fragrant than what Yu Heng and the rest were drinking outside. Yue Wang glanced at the wooden box again and finally relaxed his mind. He then slowly added vegetables to his bowl. After drinking the meaty ginger tea, he sat behind the desk and began to reply.

In Jiangnan, Jin Xiu Garden, Steward Qin stared at Yu Yi with his mouth agape: “What did you say? Say what you just said again?”

Yu Yi had a bad premonition in his heart. He took two steps back: “Steward Qin, don’t be so agitated yet. Didn’t you personally say that I would deliver the letter to Wang Ye personally? Didn’t I already say it to you?”

“I wanted you to deliver the letter to Wang Ye personally, but I didn’t say that you would hand over both letters!” Steward Qin really wanted to grab Yu Yi and stamp his feet twice. There was a letter inside that was addressed to Old Cheng. He had hinted in a lot of words that Miss Mu liked Wang Ye. The purpose was to urge Old Cheng to matchmake and promote Wang Ye and Miss Mu. What if Wang Ye were to see it, and it backfired? Yu Yi felt that Steward Qin looked at him as if he was looking at his sworn enemy, so he hurriedly took two steps back, “You can’t blame me for this. You didn’t mention who you wanted to hand over to on the envelope. When I returned, Eunuch Cheng was still by my side, asking questions. I saw that the envelope was blank, so I passed all the letters to Wang Ye.”

“I… I didn’t specify who I want to give?”

“Yes, the envelope is blank. You didn’t write a word.” Yu Yi firmly nodded his head.

Steward Qin was stunned for a moment before swallowing his saliva. “No wonder Wang Ye only said three words in his reply. So this is where the roots are!” Does Wang Ye know that Miss Mu secretly likes him? But in reality, it was all made up by him. What should he do?
