Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 294

~ GRAND PRINCESS YI DE RETURNING TO THE CAPITAL ~ 

Mu Yunyao had always paid attention to food and was unwilling to save on expenses. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to make the dishes every time she ordered them in the kitchen. She had already accumulated some complaints about the past few days, and today, she had asked for two stoves to be set free, which had caused a great deal of trouble for the people.

After all, there are only a few people in the kitchen. Other than the Old Madam’s, who has her own small kitchen, all the people in the whole residence are waiting to have dinner. If Mu Yunyao’s order is accommodated, she will naturally neglect other people. After a while, someone passed these words to the Eldest Madam.

Su Yuyi, who was sitting at the side, was sulking. Upon hearing his words, her brows immediately twitched, “All the food in the house is from the kitchen, and no one has a big face. She asked for one or two stoves to be left alone. The person is not big, but the mind is not small!”

“Yuyi!” The Eldest Madam looked over indifferently, and Su Yuyi angrily stopped talking, “It was also my negligence. Sister Su Qing and Yunyao stayed in Jingling City for quite a long time, so I assume that their taste is different from ours. I’m afraid they get used to the food in the kitchen. In this case, let’s set up a small kitchen in Jiyue Pavilion alone.”

Su Yuyi frowned, “Mother, Yunyao is already so arrogant. Why are you still going easy on her?”

Han Shan asked, “There are people who slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, underestimate me, despise me, hate me, and deceive me. What should I do?” Shide replied, “Just endure him, let him, give him, avoid him, tolerate him, respect him, ignore him, and stay for a few more years, then you can look at him!”

A cold light flashed in the Eldest Madam’s eyes flashed, sharp as a blade. “Mu Yunyao has just received a reward from the Emperor, so her attitude is naturally different from others. Besides, Jin Wang gave her a gift, which made her wild for a while. After a while … Mother will help you get rid of this obstruction!”

Su Yuyi’s eyes lit up, “Mother, you have a plan?”

“Aren’t all methods thought of by humans? If I thought about it carefully, how could I not found any idea? Right now, the most important thing for you is to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet. You don’t need to worry about anything else, understand?”

Su Yuyi’s brows revealed a hint of worry, and she gently held the Eldest Madam’s arm: “Mother, if it were in the past, I would always have had a control-self, but now, I don’t know why, as long as I see Mu Yunyao, I feel like I can’t control anything, as though she was born to be to overcome me.”

The Eldest Madam’s eyes suddenly flashed a cold light. “Yuyi, don’t worry. Mother will let you have your way.” With so much wind and waves coming, would she be able to turn the boat in a small ditch?

Su Yuyi still felt uncomfortable in her heart, “Mother, why do you think His Royal Highness Jin gave Mu Yunyao a present?”

“So that’s what you care, you only know that he gave her a present, but do you know what he gave her?”

“Aren’t they two precious pots of chrysanthemums?”

“A basin of Shameless Beauty and a pot of Baiou Zhubo.”

The Eldest Madam smiled, “You slowly think about it. When you figure it out, you won’t worry about it anymore. You need to think more about things in the future. Don’t be so impatient today. Remember, as a master, you must not show any emotions and don’t let others know what you really think.”

“Yes, Daughter will remember.”

On the evening of the fourteenth day of August, the sound of gongs and bells suddenly came from the quiet street. A group of over a hundred guards escorted an impressive and dignified imperial chariot as they slowly entered the Capital. At the door, the officials from the Ministry of Rites had already arrived to receive them. They raised their heads to look at the flying golden phoenix chariot. With a single glance, they respectfully lowered their heads.

Princess Yi De is the most legendary woman in Dali Dynasty. She has been the most favored princess, has experienced the bloodiest battle, has commanded the bravest army, and has been sitting on the vast and prosperous country. Once, she was only close to the throne and did not know how many courtiers have ever been secretly worried that the princess would seek power to usurp the throne. Because at that time, her skill was so great that she could kill all the princes and rule the world by herself. But no one thought that she wholeheartedly supported the current Emperor with all her heart. She handed over the military power in her hand, no longer participated in any battles, and retired to the Palace to eat and chant Buddhism. If it weren’t for the fact that she was looking for her lost daughter, she probably wouldn’t even have left the Palace.

Once the imperial chariot had entered the Capital, the imperial guards personally dispatched by the Emperor moved forward to protect it. They majestically headed towards the Imperial Palace. The chariot drove straight through the dignified and majestic gate of Supreme Harmony and came to the front of Supreme Harmony Hall before stopping steadily.

On the steps, the Emperor actually disregarded his majesty and directly walked down from the steps in front of Supreme Harmony Hall. Standing firmly in front of the imperial chariot, he bent down slightly and said with excitement in his eyes, “Royal Elder Sister, you’re finally back.”

The curtains of the imperial chariot opened, and a pure white hand stretched out to hold the Emperor’s arm as she slowly walked out.

Grand Princess Yi De wore a simple and elegant imperial dress with a phoenix pattern outlined by gold thread. On her head was a phoenix pearl hairpin, and her hair was supple and meticulous. Years leave a faint trace on her face, which not only does not damage her beauty but also adds a bit of dignity.

“My Royal Brother is already this old. Why is he still acting so carelessly?” Her voice was gentle as she helped the Emperor gently arrange the beads around his neck. There was a faint light in her eyes and a twinkling of love and yearning in her eyes.

The Emperor’s eyes flashed suddenly. Such a familiar action made him suddenly recall the time when he was only seven or eight years old. At that time, his royal sister was the previous Emperor’s favorite princess, and he was merely a prince born from a palace maid that had been pampered overnight. It was difficult for him to move about in the Palace. He was struggling in the Palace. He was teased by several elder brothers and pressed in the mud in the name of a martial arts competition. When his royal sister passed by, she did exactly the same as she did now. She helped him up and gently tidied his clothes. “Royal Elder Sister, you must come back and stay here for a few more days. Yuhua Palace has already been tidied up, and the furnishings inside have been changed according to Royal Elder Sister’s preferences. You will definitely feel at ease living here.” As the Emperor spoke, his eyes flashed with anticipation. The older a person was, the more they would reminisce about nostalgic times. Over the years, when his royal sister wasn’t around, he began to miss her more and more.

A smile was on Grand Princess Yi De’s face, but she didn’t either agree or refuse. Her gaze was calm as she looked at the Imperial Concubines, Princes, and Princesses standing behind the Emperor. “Enough. Go back to the Palace and speak. So as not to let the younger generation see the Emperor’s joke.”

The Imperial Concubines, Princes, and Princesses hurried forward to salute, their movements respectful and especially thorough. The Grand Princess Yi De nodded with a smile. “You don’t have to pay the courtesy. On this trip back, we were actually able to cause such a commotion. It really makes one feel uneasy.”

  2. Wait, how can it be August if they're going to celebrate the mid-autumn festival? August is the third month of summer.
