~ YUE WANG HAS SPECIAL FLOWER DELIVERY SKILLS ~
On the second day, Mu Yunyao got up early and accompanied Su Qing to finish their vegetarian meal. After she finished eating, she headed to the prayer hall to continue kneeling and praying. However, just as she left the side room, he saw Su Yuyi, who was slightly pale.
“Greetings, Cousin.”
When Su Yuyi saw Mu Yunyao, a look of disgust flashed past her eyes: “Cousin, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Mu Yunyao’s eyes held a smile. She had already guessed that the news of Princess Yi De’s coming to Baohua temple could not be concealed, but she hadn’t thought that it would leak out so quickly. It had only been a short night, but Su Yuyi had already caught up.
Su Yuyi’s expression was slightly stiff as she followed Yunyao and the rest to the prayer hall, placing the copied Buddhist scriptures on the table. She had come in with hasty manner, and before coming, she even had to teach the woman whom her eldest brother had found to dance. The Buddhist scriptures were extremely rushed, so she was not copied much of The Buddhist scriptures. Compared with Mu Yunyao’s twenty scrolls, it made her feel exceptionally awkward.
Su Yuyi kneels on the prayer mats and slightly closes her eyes. As long as Mu Yunyao was there, she would feel uncomfortable all over. However, this place was Baohua Temple, and people were coming and going, along with Grand Princess Yi De. She couldn’t fall out with Mu Yunyao, and it would be bad for her reputation.
However, due to the restlessness in her heart, she found it particularly hard to endure while kneeling on the ground and chanting. Her knees also began to feel waves of pain, which caused her to frown.
Mu Yunyao was kneeling at the side. Seeing Su Yuyi, who would occasionally move her knees from time to time, a trace of coldness flashed through her slightly lowered eyes.
In order to deal with her, the Eldest Madam prepared very well. The porridge that Qi Mama had sent over was mixed with koji grass powder, but she had used a prayer mat with soft cushions yesterday. Today, she had sprinkled the prayer mat with anemarrhena powder. Both of these things were cold, especially koji grass. It is also known as June Frost, which shows its coldness.
Now the weather is getting colder. If people were to kneel here and pray for blessings, they would be vulnerable to be attacked by cold. First, she took koji grass orally, and then she would kneel on the prayer mat stained with anemarrhena powder. After three days, the legs will be wasted!
Furthermore, even if she had suffered a loss, she wouldn’t dare to make a big fuss about it. After all, she came to Baohua Temple to pray for her grandfather. In just three days, she said that her leg was broken. Isn’t it because she has no filial piety and fussy? After all, this was the usual practice in the past years. If other people are okay, she seemed to be a spoiled child?
Mu Yunyao closed her eyes and knelt down once again, a slight smile appearing on her lips. The Eldest Madam had painstakingly planned for such a long time, so she couldn’t let these things go to waste. Thus, after seeing the Grand Princess Yi De, she had ordered Liu Liang to secretly prepare those arrangements ready for them last night. Today, Su Yuyi came in handy as soon as she arrived.
If the Eldest Madam wanted to harm her, she would return it to her daughter, Su Yuyi, which was very fair.
At first, Su Yuyi could endure it a little, but gradually, her knees became numb from the pain. It was as if the prayer mat she was kneeling down was not a soft cushion, but it was a wooden board filled with needles.
A cold sweat gradually came out on her forehead, and her face became paler. Su Yuyi did not pretend to be sick these past few days, as she really did feel uncomfortable. After all, she wanted to spread her reputation, yet on the way, she even actually got involved with the lowly dancer of Huan Cai Pavillion in the middle of the journey. This depression alone was enough to make her flustered and short of breath.
What was even more shocking was that when she danced in the palace, the reputation she got was worshiping the Moon Fairy. While the lowly dancer had spread the reputation of being the Moon Fairy of the Moon Palace, and just from her reputation, she was able to suppress her. It made her wish to find the other party directly and tear her alive!
The anger was intertwined in her heart. Su Yuyi endured and forbore, but she still couldn’t bear it and fell to the side.
Mu Yunyao extended a hand to support him, “Elder Sister Yuyi, are you alright?
Su Yuyi waved her hand to block Mu Yunyao, and her tone became even stiffer: “I don’t dare bother Cousin Yunyao.”
Mu Yunyao blinked in surprise as she turned her head to look at the person at the door, “Why is His Royal Highness Jin Wang here?”
Hearing the two words Jin Wang, Su Yuyi’s body couldn’t help but stiffen. She remembered Mu Yunyao viciously in her heart and slowly supported herself up as she turned around. Her voice carried a hint of weakness, “Greetings, His Royal Highness Jin Wang.”
The Third Prince, dressed in a light blue embroidered auspicious cloud pattern, had a jeweled belt on his waist, had a bright face, and a warm breath. Right now, he was faintly smiling, looking like a gentleman unparalleled in the world: “There is no need to be so courteous. Miss Su seems to be unwell. Although it’s filial piety to recite Buddhist scriptures and praying for blessing, you can’t exhaust your body just because of it.
Su Yuyi shook her head slightly. There was a trace of worry on her beautiful face, and it made the people’s hearts melt, “Thank you for your concern, His Royal Highness Jin Wang. I should have come with Eldest Brother last night to pray for my grandfather in place of my parents, but yesterday was really.....I came here as soon as I got a little better this morning.”
Su Yuyi paused for a moment and didn’t say exactly why she didn’t come yesterday. Instead, she made people guess that she must have been too sick yesterday and couldn’t get out of bed at all.
Mu Yunyao on one side heard this, and her mind moved slightly: Sure enough. Both Su Yuyi and Jin Wang are extremely compatible. Both of them are extremely hypocritical characters, and looking at the current situation, Su Yuyi probably had some intentions towards Jin Wang. Since this was the case, she would definitely push the two of them together to achieve this good marriage.
Su Yuyi didn’t say much. After all, this wasn’t the right time and place to do so. She knelt down gracefully on the ground and started to recite the Buddhist scriptures attentively.
Su Qingwu stepped forward to converse with Jin Wang, and after a few sentences, Jin Wang said his goodbyes. but before he left, his words were directed towards Mu Yunyao, “Miss Mu must also pay more attention, please do not hurt your body because of this.”
“Thank you for His Royal Highness Jin Wang’s concern.” Mu Yunyao slightly bent over and bowed. She could clearly feel that Su Yuyi’s breath was in chaos for a moment, so she smiled and didn’t take it to heart.
When she returned to her room to rest at noon, Su Yuyi was practically helped out by her maid. Her entire face was deathly pale, and cold sweat covered her head. However, her beautiful appearance did not decrease in the slightest, causing people to feel heartache.
After accompanying Su Qing and eating some food, Mu Yunyao returned to the side room to rest for a while. Just as she walked into the room, she saw a plain butterfly flower placed on a table. There were plain white pebbles on the plate and clustered with Daffodils. The Daffodils were raised to perfection. The dark green leaves were so thick, so thick that one could see an air of innocence in their eyes.
“Why didn’t I see this Daffodils before? Did it come from Baohua Temple?”
Si Shu’s expression was somewhat unnatural. “In reply to Miss, this servant picked it up at the door. It looked so beautiful, so I placed it on the table for you to admire.”
Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved as she extended her hand to poke at the Daffodils’ chubby leaves. At this time, the Daffodils haven’t bloomed, so there’s nothing to see.
Si Shu became even more careful. “What kind of flowers does Miss like? This servant will go to the back mountain to look for them. There are many flowers planted in the back mountain of Baohua temple, and are very beautiful.”
“I like the Hibiscus Mutabilis and always feel that it has a character of the wind. It is so gorgeous and definitely rare.”
“Then, wait until Miss goes to the prayer hall in the afternoon. This servant will go to the back mountain to take a look.”
Mu Yunyao laughed. “You don’t need to go to the back of the mountain to look around. Just wait at the door and see if you can pick up a few more flowers.”
I love smart characters, she already knows yue wang's eagerness ;) i hope she reciprocates soon
