~ OBSESSION ~
“Wedding dress?” After Mu Yunyao heard this, she nodded with a smile. “It’s not a problem to get Ni Yun Fang to help prepare the wedding dress, but according to the customs of the Dali Dynasty, the wedding dress is usually embroidered by the bride. Your Royal Highness Yu Wang must communicate well with Miss Min.”
“Fang Hua liked poetry, books, tea ceremonies, music, horse riding, and archery. She is good everywhere, but she lacks a little in embroidery. Initially, her wedding dress was prepared by the embroidery lady in her residence, and she was only allowed to embroider a few stitches at the end, which was the same as handing them over to Ni Yun Fang to do. If I told her, she must be overjoyed.”
“That’s good. Your Royal Highness Yu Wang told Miss Min to choose a day to visit Ni Yun Fang to measure her clothes. After all, they were made for a wedding. If it were an ordinary dress, you would have given me the size, and I would have asked someone to do it. For the wedding dress, it’s better if I help her measure it myself. What does Your Royal Highness Yu Wang think?”
“No problem. Fang Hua told me that she wanted to see you many times but didn’t get the chance to, so she couldn’t see you. I’ll send a letter to the Min family the next day to invite Fang Hua out.” Yu Wang’s eyes were full of smiles. “You must measure it carefully. If you can’t measure it once, you can measure it a few more times. I’ll help you invite someone to your residence.”
Mu Yunyao pursed her lips and smiled. The relationship between Yu Wang and Miss Min was enviable.
Yue Wang could not help but tease: “I think Second Imperial Brother is taking this opportunity to meet Miss Min, right? Yunyao helped people tailor their clothes, and there was no time to be inaccurate.”
Seeing Yue Wang’s expression, Yu Wang stepped forward and patted his shoulder, saying, “Fourth Imperial Brother, Yunyao has been working hard this time. This matter is something the Second Imperial Brother always remembers in his heart. If Fang Hua and I are of any use to you, we will do our best in the future.”
When Yunyao went to Ni Yun Fang after being recognized as Grand Princess Yi De’s granddaughter, she only gave some pointers and rarely made clothes herself. This time, she was able to help Fang Hua prepare the wedding dress out of respect for Yu Wang. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for ordinary people to ask her to do it.
Yue Wang was not polite either. “Alright, when I have the chance to ask for Second Imperial Brother’s help, I will speak up. At that time, Second Imperial Brother should not refuse.”
“Of course. I will go to the Min family and tell Fang Hua about this news. I will get someone to tell you when the date is decided.”
“Yes, Second Imperial Brother. Take care.”
Jin Wang gripped the teacup tightly, and the hot tea in his hand made his palms ache. “Third Imperial Brother wants to congratulate Fourth Imperial Brother. No wonder you two didn’t hide anything from Imperial Father. It turns out that Imperial Father has already acknowledged your relationship.”
“Thank you, Third Imperial Brother.” Yue Wang’s eyes swept across Jin Wang’s fingers, which gripped the teacup tightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Jin Wang raised his teacup and took a sip. The tea was so hot that it hurt his throat. He did not pay any attention to it, and the teacup fell to the ground with a clatter, shattering into pieces.
Mu Yunyao frowned as she called the palace maids in, asking them to help Jin Wang change his wet clothes.
Waiting until Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang had retreated, Jin Wang suddenly flung away the palace maid who had helped him wipe his tea stains. His face flashed with anger. “Scram!”
The palace maid quickly kneeled: “Please calm your anger, Your Royal Highness.”
“Scram! All of you scram!” Jin Wang gasped for breath. He didn’t know why he was so angry. He only felt that he would collapse if he didn’t vent his anger now.
He pounded his legs, not wanting to lose his balance, and fell directly onto the ground. He landed on the broken tea cup and stabbed it into his palm, immediately dripping with blood.
The palace maid was so scared that her face turned pale: “Your Royal Highness, are you alright? Someone come, hurry and go to Princess Wenxian and the Imperial Physician. “
When Mu Yunyao heard the news, she hurriedly followed the panicking palace maid back to the hall. Jin Wang lowered his head as he leaned against the bed, his hand resting on the side. Blood flowed profusely, “Go get the medicine box. I’ll help His Royal Highness bandage his wound.”
When Jin Wang heard Mu Yunyao’s voice, he finally reacted: “Yunyao, why do you still care about me? Now that I have become a cripple, it would be better to die early and relish myself.”
Mu Yunyao’s expression did not waver. “I’m in charge of you now because of the Emperor’s decree. Otherwise, who cares if you live or die.”
Jin Wang smiled bitterly, “Yunyao, this is the first time I know your heart is this ruthless.”
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes. Even though she knew he couldn’t see her, she still looked into his eyes. “Your Royal Highness, shouldn’t you understand this the most? In this world, those who are not ruthless will be unable to live. If you want to live better, your heart will naturally be more brutal than others. “
This truth was slowly being conveyed to him by the previous life’s Jin Wang.
Mu Yunyao’s movements were quick as she bound Jin Wang’s bleeding hand in two or three strokes and said, “Alright, don’t touch water these few days. Don’t use too much strength. Everything will be fine after a while.”
Yue Wang took the medicine box from Mu Yunyao’s hands and looked coldly at Jin Wang. “Third Imperial Brother, your movements are inconvenient. If anything happens in the future, feel free to tell the palace maids to do it. Do not hurt yourselves like this again.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Fourth Imperial Brother.” Jin Wang tucked his bandaged hands into his sleeves and clenched his fists tightly. He felt an intense pain in his hands for a while before his lips curled up into a smile. He had nothing left now, so when he finally found something he cared about, he naturally had to find a way to keep it close to him.
The next day, news came from Yu Wang’s side, so Mu Yunyao set tomorrow as the date to measure Miss Min’s size. After she and Grand Princess Yi De had finished talking in the afternoon, she went to the front hall to ask for an audience with the Emperor.
The Emperor nodded in agreement. These days, Mu Yunyao had been working so hard at the Palace, so it was only suitable for allowing her to go out and walk around.
Mu Yunyao packed up her things and brought Jin Lan and Qiao Qiao out of the Palace.
Yue Wang sat in the carriage with her. Seeing her open the curtains and look at the scenery outside, he couldn’t help but propose: “Yao’er, do you want to go for a walk?”
“Sure.”
The two of them got off the carriage on the road not far from the Qinfang Garden and strolled towards the garden side by side. It was already dusk, and the weather was not as hot as it was. The sun shed a layer of afterglow on the horizon, and the sunset blazed like fire.
Mu Yunyao saw that there was no one around and couldn’t help but stretch her waist, “I didn’t think anything of it before, but now after living in the Imperial Palace for a while, I feel that the Palace is extremely narrow and oppressive. It is hard for the Emperor because he has been trapped inside for most of his life.”
Yue Wang took advantage of the cover of his sleeve as he grabbed Mu Yunyao’s fingers and said, “Yao’er, I want to support Second Imperial Brother in his fight for the throne.”
Mu Yunyao was not surprised at all. “Currently, Ling Wang and Jin Wang are no longer threats, and you’re not in the mood to fight for the throne, so His Royal Highness Yu Wang is naturally the most suitable candidate.”
“Well. When Second Imperial Brother ascends the throne, we’ll live in Jinxiu Garden in Jiangnan. At that time, can we live together with Imperial Aunt and Madam Su?”
“Alright.”
