~ ENVY, JEALOUS, HATE ~
After promising the Emperor to take care of Jin Wang, Yue Wang openly stayed in the Imperial Palace.
Ever since he knew that the poisonous lady the Palace and lived in Yuhua Palace, he had been feeling anxious. Although she was a woman, Yunyao had been too intimate with her and tolerated her presence, which always made him panicky. Ultimately, he decided to enter the Palace because he needed to keep an eye on his family’s treasures.
Yue Wang had already begun to clean up Jin Wang’s contacts, and the First Prince had also started to gather the officials who had supported Jin Wang before. The once powerful Jin Wang has disintegrated in just a few days.
Mu Yunyao didn’t have any plans for Jin Wang, so she just stayed to the side to study medical skills with peace of mind.
There had been a lot of things happening in the past. As her current medical skills and poison techniques were more than enough, she decided to put these aside. Now that she had the time, she had brought many ancient medical books from the Imperial Hospital. After putting all her effort into it, she found that medical skills are infinitely more interesting.
Yue Wang enjoys his current state very much. Without the poisonous lady’s interference, he could sit by the side and watch Yunyao read her books for the entire day. Occasionally, he would help grind the ink, organize the books, and even do some chores, feeling very satisfied.
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh at him, “If I were a man and you were a woman, outsiders would have to praise and envy others. But now, if others were to see this, they would mock Fourth Master for not having ambition. They would only know to circle around a woman.”
Yue Wang did not care. He also asked someone to move a table in. At this time, the table was covered with drawing paper. He was carefully painting a portrait. The portrait was more than half complete, and it was the picture of Mu Yunyao holding onto a book. Although he had not yet completed it, the painting was already filled with a refined and elegant aura, which was very lifelike.
“They are envious of us, the divine couple.”
Mu Yunyao laughed. Her laughter was as light and agile as a jade dropping onto a silver plate, involuntarily causing people to smile along with her.
Yue Wang’s eyes were full of smiles. After looking at her carefully for a long time, he lowered his head again to portray the bead hairpin between her hair.
Jin Wang leaned against the headboard, listening to their conversation with a lost look in his eyes.
Yue Wang and Mu Yunyao had already taken care of him for nearly half a month, from his initial anger to his calm afterward, so he felt a little envious of them now.
On the surface, he looked gentle and refined. He treated every woman politely, but in reality, even towards the number one beauty Su Yuyi, who admired him initially, he could only deal with her and feel annoyed in his heart. But now that he saw the relationship between Yue Wang and Mu Yunyao, he started to envy Yue Wang, and he couldn’t help but even involuntarily want to replace Yue Wang with himself.
He listened to Mu Yunyao talk about the importance of embroidery, listened to her talk about the tea ceremony, and listened to her occasionally discuss medical skills with the Imperial Physicians. That cold voice of hers was like a ray of light, shining a golden splendor in his dark world, making his violent mood a little quiet.
The riverbank in Jiangnan River was completed, so Yu Wang and Qi Yun returned to the Capital together.
All along the way, all sorts of news and rumors had spread, leaving Yu Wang dumbfounded. After returning to the Palace to pay his respects to the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Qi, he hurriedly made his way to Chonghua Palace.
Yue Wang and Mu Yunyao were drinking tea, and when they saw Yu Wang enter, they hurriedly stood up to pay their respects.
“Second Imperial Brother, is the matter with Jiangnan completely over?” Seeing that Yu Wang was doing well, Yue Wang’s expression softened. Since he had decided not to fight for the throne, he naturally had to support someone who had a good relationship with him. Yu Wang was undoubtedly the best candidate.
Mu Yunyao placed the newly-brewed tea cup in front of Yu Wang. “Your Royal Highness Yu Wang, please have some tea.”
“Thank you very much.” Yu Wang turned to look at Jin Wang, sitting on the chair, frowning very tightly.
Jin Wang sensed something and gently rubbed the teacup in his hand. He raised his head and smiled, “Second Imperial Brother has returned safely from Jiangnan. I am pleased in my heart.”
Yu Wang raised his eyebrow, “It’s been a while since we last met. Third Imperial Brother’s change is truly great.” He has always seen people thoroughly. Although Jin Wang could hide it from others, he couldn’t hide it from his eyes. No matter how gently he smiled in the past, his eyes were full of impatience and irritability. Now, he has a bit of peace of mind, which makes people feel abnormal.
Jin Wang raised his head and smiled. He was already an extremely handsome man. Therefore, his smile was shallow and carried a noble and peerless air: “After experiencing so much, there will always be changes. Moreover, I do not want to die yet. If I do not let myself feel better, I’m afraid I’ll have to hit the pillar again.”
Yu Wang’s eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze was filled with scrutiny. “If losing something can help you gain such enlightenment, then as an elder brother, I should congratulate you. After all, some people may live a lifetime, but they may not be able to understand.”
“Thank you, Second Imperial Brother, for your advice.” Jin Wang held the teacup with both hands and turned his head towards Mu Yunyao, “Yunyao, the teacup in my hand has turned cold. Can you help me change it?”
“Your Royal Highness Jin Wang, wait a moment.” Mu Yunyao walked up and took the teacup from Jin Wang. After changing the teacup, she handed it back to him. “Your Royal Highness Jin Wang, be careful of the heat.”
Jin Wang extended his finger, and when he received the teacup, he accidentally touched Mu Yunyao’s fingertip. A warm feeling spread through his body, causing him to feel an inexplicable desire for her.
He didn’t know why he had become like this. Logically, he had repeatedly told himself to be wary of Mu Yunyao because his current appearance might have resulted from her underhanded scheme. But emotionally, he couldn’t help but unconsciously rely on Mu Yunyao.
Perhaps it was because the world had turned pitch black after he woke up, and the first voice he heard came from Mu Yunyao. The first touch he felt was also the touch of her fingertips on his pulse.……
Jin Wang could distinguish many people with his hearing, but those were all vague in his heart. Only Mu Yunyao, as long as she appeared, no matter how noisy the surrounding sounds were, Jin Wang could feel her arrival at once.
Mu Yunyao retreated to the side after passing the teacup to Jin Wang.
Yue Wang took Mu Yunyao’s hand and took a silk handkerchief to clean the water droplets. “I suddenly want to learn the art of tea ceremony as well. Since I have nothing else to do during this time, could you teach me how to brew the tea? When I have practiced my craft, I will make it for you to drink later.”
“Alright.”
Yu Wang drank the tea in one gulp. “As the Second Imperial Brother, I am happy for you two because Imperial Father has acquiesced to your relationship. When you marry, I will give you a generous gift.”
Mu Yunyao’s face turned slightly red, but Yue Wang nodded unceremoniously. “Sure, but why is Second Imperial Brother so generous today? Weren’t you always crying about being poor in the past?”
Yu Wang rubbed his hands together and smiled embarrassedly at Mu Yunyao. “I do have something that I need to trouble Yunyao with.”
“There’s no harm in saying what it is, Your Royal Highness Yu Wang.”
“My wedding date with Fanghua is approaching. This time I made a great contribution and specifically asked Imperial Father for a favor. The wedding specifications could be slightly overdone, so I saw the wedding clothes prepared by the Internal Affairs Department. The wedding specifications could be slightly overdone, so I went to see the wedding dress prepared by the Internal Affairs Division, which was not good. I thought Ni Yun Fang’s embroidery lady’s skills were the best, so I asked you to help me look after it and get someone to make a wedding dress for Fanghua. How about it?”
