~ FAMOUS OVERNIGHT ~
Su You glanced at Mu Yunyao, then turned her head to look at the stage, a hint of a smile flashing across her eyes. She knew that she had a bad temper and wanted to get angry at every moment. Even the servants who served her often said in secret that she had a bad temperament. As a result, she rarely interacted with her sisters in residence.
In fact, it wasn’t that she hadn’t tried to get on good terms with them, but every time she came close, the crowd would avoid her as long as she came close, afraid that she would suddenly become sick and stick to them. Once or twice it would be fine, but every time she would look like this, isn’t she make herself boring?
At this time, in the Capital, after a night of fermentation, the reputation of the Moon Fairy from the Moon Palace suddenly swept in, and the threshold of Huan Cai Pavilion was almost broken. However, no matter how many people looked for it, they could not find the dancing girl on the high platform that day.
Just as everyone was looking in vain, a piece of news suddenly exploded.
The first to spread was a few lines of poems: “Falling back to the light of snow, Yanran sent the wandering dragons into a state of shock. Little hands droop after the willows are powerless, slanting the train when the clouds wish for life.”
These lines of poems were clearly taken out from the entire poem. With just a few lines, the dancer’s beautiful posture is vividly described, made people feel that the meaning is not yet complete.
The people who were fortunate enough to see a grand dance on the high platform in front of the Huan Cai Pavilion yesterday immediately felt their hearts light up. Wasn’t this the Moon Fairy from the Moon Palace?
Many of the scholars immediately recalled the scene from yesterday, and they began to draw a few lines of the poem. For a time, the reputation of the Moon Fairy spread more and more widely.
In the East District, the Eldest Madam heard the servant’s report and smiled in satisfaction, “Yuyi, after today, your name will be known to all the people.”
She was enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention yesterday. She even faintly felt that heaven gave her such a peerless appearance in order to make her stand in a position that was nobler than anyone else: “I still have to thank Mother for all the hard work she’s been planning. Otherwise Daughter’s reputation wouldn’t have been able to spread widely.”
“You are Mother’s only daughter. If I don’t think for you, who else can I think for?” The Eldest Madam helped Su Yuyi personally insert the osmanthus and tourmaline jade hairpin that the Grand Princess Yi De gave her yesterday. She nodded in satisfaction and said, “Let’s go. The stage should be ready by now. It’s a good day today.”
“Yes.”
Mu Yunyao didn’t really like to listen to plays, and Su You was even more so. The two of them sat a little distance away and chatted softly.
“I heard Mother say that Elder Sister received a pretty name for herself, that of Moon Worshiping Fairy, right?”
Mu Yunyao pinched a piece of white jade cake on her plate and slightly nodded when she heard this. “That’s right. Elder Sister danced a song of worshipping the moon. Her dancing style is really moving.”
Su You looked at Mu Yunyao: “Mother helped me pick out a few rearing mamas for me, but my body is too weak to learn those rules, putting them in front of my eyes makes me feel uncomfortable, how about you help me keep them for a few days?”
Mu Yunyao put down the pastries and looked at Su You, smiling as she shook her head. She knew Su You had good intentions. Someone who could be a rearing mama and be invited to the Su family was definitely not an ordinary person. She might teach her how to dance, but she had no intention of competing against Su Yuyi in this aspect.
Su You angrily glared at her. In the end, she didn’t force her. Moreover, no matter how beautiful her dancing posture was, if she didn’t have the appearance of Elder Sister Yuyi, she will only be mocked.
After listening to the play for half a day, Mu Yunyao felt that it was meaningless. She waited for the Old Madam to get tired, and after taking a nap, she found an excuse to return to Jiyue Pavilion with Su Qing.
Si Shu entered the door and came in to report. “Miss, the news has already spread, and many people are looking for the Moon Fairy from the Moon Palace.”
Mu Yunyao nodded her head, “Let go of those paintings you prepared earlier. Eldest Aunt wants to use my reputation to make Su Yuyi even stronger, so we might give her a push as well. Where’s Ming Yin? Did she leave?”
“Miss Ming Yin has left and returned to Jingling City. People are guarding her on the way, so there will be no mistakes.”
“Well, Ming Yin martial art’s skill is not weak. I’m not worried about that. I only want to thank her for coming all the way here.” The one who danced in front of Huan Cai Pavilion last night was Ming Yin. She had learned the art of assassination since a child and had a great martial art foundation, and even learned to worship the moon. When she was still in Jingling City, she arranged for her to practice merely to add to the obstacles for Su Yuyi today.
“Miss Ming Yin even asked this servant to pass the message. She said that she was happy to be of help and that it was inconvenient this time, and she was very sorry for not being able to meet the lady in person.”
Mu Yunyao’s smile deepened. “I’ve only been in the Capital for a short while, and I already miss Jingling City so much … In the future, there will definitely be a chance. Go back and busy yourself, and always be more vigilant. Don’t let the rumors in the Capital change in the slightest.”
“Yes.”
In the Capital, everyone was desperately searching for the Moon Fairy but to no avail. Suddenly, someone discovered twelve Moon Palace beauty paintings on the market. These twelve paintings were vivid and lifelike. It was as if the woman in the painting was able to walk out of the paper. The moment it appeared, it attracted countless people’s attention, and many people are rushing to copy it.
Just as everyone was about to be disappointed, a piece of news suddenly came over: The Moon Fairy is Su Yuyi!
Many people did not know Su Yuyi’s name. After all, the people on the outside usually called her the legitimate daughter of the Su family. Now that they reported her name, many people were confused. However, it was quickly known to everyone that Su Yuyi was the cousin of the famous Mu Yunyao and the legitimate daughter of the Su family.
Mu Yunyao was currently in the limelight. Coupled with the Cinnabar Osmanthus that had been sent ashore during the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone suddenly understood when they talked about her. Who knew how many people were envious of the Su Family’s good fortune. They initially thought it would already be quite rare for the Su family to have one Mu Yunyao. Although it was only Miss Bia, since his father had passed away, she could only rely on the Su family. This reputation could also bring glory to the Su family.
Who would have thought that the young miss of the Su family would be even more shocking! That beauty, that figure, and so on.
Thinking of this, many people felt that something was wrong. Su Yuyi was the young miss of the Su family residence. The high rank of her family frightens most people. How could such a young miss appear and openly dance on the stage in front of Huan Cai Pavilion?
Some people did not believe the rumors, but even more, people did not care whether it was reasonable or not. Moreover, the Moon Fairy implicating the official young miss made them even more excited.
The Eldest Madam and Su Yuyi had no idea that the Capital’s rumor had changed their flavor completely.
In the afternoon, the Old Madam had just gotten up when she saw Wen Mama walking in quickly with a slightly embarrassed expression. “Madam, something has happened.”
Seeing Wen Mama’s expression, the Old Madam’s heart tightened. “What happened?” Wen Mama had always been calm. Something that could make her act this way was definitely a big event.
“There was a message from outside saying that the young miss’ reputation had been ruined.”
Ha! 😈😈😈
