~ THE GRAND PRINCESS YI DE HAS INVITED YOU ~
“Yunyao, what are you thinking?” Seeing Mu Yunyao’s silence, Yue Wang’s heart tensed up. “It’s getting late. Go back first and rest early. How about I teach you how to ride horse and hunt tomorrow?”
“Fourth Master, seeing that there are many people and many eyes, it is not appropriate ….”
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. I’m not afraid of crowds of people.” Today, he dared to step out because he’d already expressed his determination. He didn’t care about his identity and only cared about Mu Yunyao.
Mu Yunyao’s emotions became increasingly complicated as she absent-mindedly took two steps to the side. It was too dark to see her feet clearly, so she fell over to the side.
Yue Wang reached out and put the girl in his arms. There was a strong smile in his eyes. The person in his embrace was slender and soft as if a single exertion of force could injure her. Even her breathing was light, making her appear exceptionally elegant. She extended his arms, hugged her, and weighed her in his hands, as light as a feather, as if she weighed nothing.
“Fourth Master!” Mu Yunyao exclaimed in a low voice. It was one thing for him not to be able to catch her just now, but this person had actually lifted her up and weighed her in his arms. This was truly… Seriously…
Yue Wang hurriedly and carefully placed her to the side. Just now, he had really moved subconsciously, and by the time he had regained his senses, he had already picked up the person in his arms. “Cough cough … My internal injuries have yet to heal....”
A trace of anger flashed through Mu Yunyao’s eyes, “How many more times do you want to use an excuse like this?”
“Cough cough, it’s true this time....”
“Then let Fourth Master take a good rest.”
When she returned to the tent, Mu Yunyao still felt it both infuriating and laughable, but she put down her previous wild thoughts.
After a simple wash, Mu Yunyao went to bed to rest. She had a good night’s sleep and got up early the next day.
Jin Lan held the clothes one by one. She seemed to be hesitating. “Miss, which riding outfit are you wearing today?”
“Just pick any one of them.” Mu Yunyao didn’t really care much.
“That won’t do. After changing tents yesterday afternoon, you have been resting inside and did not notice that there was a good performance outside.” Jin Lan sighed with emotion. “Normally, when the ladies dress up for fear of encountering each other, they are always extra meticulous and meticulous. However, I don’t know why, but yesterday, somehow those ladies wear all red, water red, rose red, peach red … Looking from afar, it really is a blaze of warmth. and brilliance.”
Mu Yunyao chuckled and chose a tortoiseshell earring to wear. “Perhaps it’s because they think red is eye-catching and be able to stand out amongst so many people. But they never expected that so many people would think of the same thing.”
“That’s right. With just a single glance, I can see red everywhere. It is extremely shocking, and I can’t even tell who is who.” Jin Lan took out a riding suit with a pale yellow bottom embroidered with a jade-green cloud pattern. “Miss, what do you think of this outfit?”
Mu Yunyao originally wanted to nod her head. But suddenly thought of the words Yue Wang, he had said last night that he would take her to ride a horse. “Yesterday, I wore an apricot color, so it’s not appropriate to wear light yellow today. Let’s just wear that violet one.”
“Yes, Miss.”
The riding outfit Mu Yunyao had chosen didn’t look too impressive. Moreover, many people felt that the violet color was too deep and wasn’t suitable for young girls. However, when Mu Yunyao wore it, the deep violet light made her face as white as jade. Her eyes seemed as if they were made of water, so they looked more and more transparent.
Jin Lan couldn’t help but exclaim, “Miss, you looks so beautiful when you wore it. This servant has discovered that no matter how provocative the colors are, as long as they reach Miss’s body, they are all exceptionally stunning.”
“No matter how much of a flattered you say it, it’s useless. I don’t have any reward for you right now.”
“What I said was the truth. I’m not asking for a reward.”
When she had finished packing her things up, Mu Yunyao walked out of the tent. Just as she took two steps forward, she saw Qu Mama walk over. “Greetings, Miss Mu.”
“Greetings, Qu Mama.” Mu Yunyao’s heart sank, and the smile on her face faded slightly.
“The Grand Princess Yi De heard that Miss Mu was skilled in embroidery and happened to have a dress, which she liked very much, accidentally torn by a tree branch. Thus, she sent this servant to ask Miss Mu to help repair it.”
“Alright.”
The Grand Princess Yi De’s tent was located in the center, and the surroundings were heavily guarded. Mu Yunyao had come outside of the tent and quietly waited for the pass.
Qu Mama walked in for a while before coming out and opening the tent door. “Miss Mu, please enter.”
“Thank you, Qu Mama.”
The Grand Princess Yi De sat atop it, a golden phoenix embroidered in a noble dark red palace dress. The phoenix spread its wings as it flew away, carrying with it a majestic and noble aura.
“This humble daughter, Mu Yunyao, greets Grand Princess Yi De.” Mu Yunyao respectfully saluted as the image of the phoenix from before flashed through her mind. When the Grand Princess Yi De called her over, it naturally wasn’t to repair the clothes mentioned by Qu Mama. After all, as the Grand Princess, her status was incomparably honorable. Even if she liked a set of clothes and then it’s damaged, it would be a piece of cake for her to get a person to make it again and look exactly the same. Why does she have to go through so much trouble to repair it?
“Stand up, Miss Mu. Take a seat.”
Feeling that the Grand Princess Yi De wasn’t put her in much of a difficult situation, Mu Yunyao secretly let out a breath of relief. “Many thanks to Your Highness, the Grand Princess Yi De.”
After arranging the seats, Qu Mama motioned for the servants to follow her out.
“I heard from Junyue that you’re profoundly intelligent. Did you guess the purpose I called you for today?” Grand Princess Yi De had a smile on her face, and her tone was gentle as if she had just called Mu Yunyao over just for chatting about her family.
Mu Yunyao quickly thought for a moment before slightly lifting her head, “Did the Grand Princess call me over because of His Royal Highness Yue Wang?”
Seeing that Mu Yunyao wasn’t feigning ignorance, Grand Princess Yi De was slightly satisfied. “Not bad. Yesterday when Yue Wang openly helped you out, he injured Grand Preceptor Meng’s granddaughter. Not only did he lose his demeanor as a prince, he even made enemies with Grand Preceptor Meng in the Imperial court. In my opinion, this is not a wise decision move.”
Mu Yunyao fell silent.
“Mu Yunyao, although your current identity is the granddaughter of the Su family’s Old Madam, you still do not match up to Yue Wang. Junyue can stand up for you openly and not afraid of making enemies publicly. You can see how sincere he is towards you, and then what about you towards him? Have you truly and sincerely considered for him?”
Mu Yunyao’s fingertip trembled slightly as the scene from the first time she saw Yue Wang flashed through her mind. Her emotions fluctuated for a moment, and she couldn’t suppress them even if she wanted to. “Has the Grand Princess warned me to stay away from Yue Wang with these words?”
Grand Princess Yi De sized up Mu Yunyao as her expression suddenly turned cold. “If I really had that intention, would you be willing to obediently leave?”
Mu Yunyao lowered her head, the emotions in her eyes complex. After a long while, she raised her head to look at Grand Princess Yi De, “If the Grand Princess had requested this a few days ago, I would have definitely left obediently. But today, I don’t want to do that.”
The expression on Grand Princess Yi De’s face became even colder. “You think that just because you don’t want to leave, I have no other choice?”
Mu Yunyao stood up and bowed respectfully towards the Grand Princess Yi De, then raised her head and looked over, “I know that the Grand Princess has many methods to make me leave, but I want to try. If Yue Wang has betrayed me, I will never see him again without you say anything. But if Yue Wang has not failed me, I won’t take the initiative to leave.”
The Grand Princess Yi De wrinkled her brow, a noble aura emanating from her body, causing Yunyao’s hearts to palpitate. “Have you thought about this?”
“Yes!” Mu Yunyao’s tone was firm. It was clear that last night, she was still indulging in her wild thoughts. She also thought about whether or not there would be a future for her and Yue Wang. But now, faced with the Grand Princess Yi De’s questioning, she inexplicably didn’t want to retreat. It was just like how her mother had chosen her father, even though she knew that the road ahead would be difficult. Even if she were to face a difficult situation, she was still willing to give it a try her best.
Ohhhh… she fought for husbando! 👍
