~ CRY OUT LOUD ~
Grand Princess Yi felt heartache for Mu Yunyao because she had to go back and forth between the Palace and Ni Yun Fang. Because nothing was happening in the Palace then, she informed the Emperor and brought her back to Qinfang Garden for a temporary stay.
Only after spending an entire month did Mu Yunyao finally complete the embroidery of the wedding dress. After the dress was finished, the embroidery ladies were speechless and looked at the wedding dress in front of them. This dress was really beautiful.
Mu Yunyao moved her sore wrist, and the corner of her mouth curled up in satisfaction.
Yu Wang accompanied Min Fanghua into the room. Just as he was about to greet Mu Yunyao, he saw the wedding dress hanging on the wall and immediately held his breath.
Min Fanghua covered her lips and exclaimed. When she came back to her senses, her normally dignified and calm face revealed traces of excitement. “Princess, I really don’t know how to thank you.”
Mu Yunyao slightly pursed her lips. “Elder Sister Min, you don’t have to be so polite. When I get married in the future, you and Yu Wang can just send me a few more congratulatory gifts.” If, as expected, Yu Wang ascends to the throne as Emperor in the future, Min Fanghua will be the future mother of the nation. If she spends more time today, the rewards will be endless later.
“Okay, definitely.” Min Fanghua took this intention into her heart. She couldn’t help but stroke the embroidery on her bridal dress to try it on.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly stopped her, saying, “Elder Sister Min, wedding clothes can only be worn once in a lifetime, so today you can only see the pattern and style if there is anything that needs to be changed. It’s impossible to try it on.”
“When I saw how beautiful her dress was, I felt an itch in my heart. I even forgot about this rule.” Min Fanghua’s eyes were full of bright yearning. For the first time, she felt that the wedding date had been set a little too late. If it had been earlier, she could have worn it earlier.
The wedding date was getting closer and closer, and the Min family was becoming more and more strict. Today, Min Fanghua was only given one hour. She finished looking at her wedding dress and talked for a while, but seeing that the time was up, she could only reluctantly leave.
After sending her away, the corner of Mu Yunyao’s lips curved up in a sincere smile.
Yue Wang walked over to her side and told Cai Yi and the rest to retreat. After holding Mu Yunyao’s hand, he lowered his head against her forehead. “Yao’er, it’s almost July now.”
Mu Yunyao’s eyes flashed, acting as if she didn’t understand, “That’s right, it’s already the middle of June, the weather is too hot.”
Yue Wang stretched out his hand and scratched her nose: “There’s less than three months left in the one-year agreement, you better not go back on your word. If you have the time, you should start preparing for the wedding dress as soon as possible. My Yao’er is unparalleled in beauty. When you’re wearing red, you would definitely be able to beat everyone else.”
Mu Yunyao forcefully hit him on the head, “Then let’s see if you’re going to work hard or not.” After which, she ran off.
Yue Wang rubbed his forehead as he grabbed Mu Yunyao’s sleeve with his long arm. The smooth silk cloth was like a naughty silverfish, breaking free from his grasp in the blink of an eye, causing one’s heart to itch even more.
After a while, their laughter gradually died down.
Yue Wang drew the person beside him and said, “Yao’er, the lotus flowers in our residence have bloomed. Eunuch Cheng has been asking you to go and admire the flowers. If you have time today, why don’t you go and take a look?”
“Sure.” Thinking of Eunuch Cheng, Mu Yunyao got Cai Yi to pack some new pastries. After changing her clothes, which had become slightly wrinkled from the movement caused by Yue Wang, she got on the carriage and headed towards Yue Wang’s residence.
Within Yue Wang’s residence, Eunuch Cheng directed the gardeners to plant the flowers with his hands behind his back. He was frowning as he walked around, and his eyes were full of criticism. “Aren’t you the best gardeners? How can you build a flower garden like this? Ugly?”
The few gardeners looked at each other and almost burst into tears. The gardeners frequently conversed with each other. They all shook their heads and sighed when talking about this barren residence.
This courtyard had originally been Qin Wang’s abandoned residence. Qin Wang had failed when competing for the throne with the Emperor, so his estate naturally wouldn’t be in good condition. With Yue Wang absent from the Capital for so long, this place would have become a wasteland if two or three servants had not been stationed there.
They once bet whoever could clean up Yue Wang’s residence would be invited to eat in Xiang Man Lou for a month. In the end, within two days, Eunuch Cheng had his men bring them here, and then a scene happened before them.
The gardeners squatted on the ground, looking at the gorgeous flowers blooming one after another. Although this garden was called a flower garden, it still had to emphasize colour matching, orderly height, variety matching, and auspicious meaning. What’s the matter with planting all kinds of flowers together?
The gardeners who repaired the fake mountain passed by and saw the gardeners who squatted on the ground planting flowers. Their eyes were filled with schadenfreude. After repairing this place, perhaps no mansion would dare to invite them to repair the garden again. After all, the flower garden is too dazzling.
Yu Yi ran over quickly, “Eunuch Cheng, Wang Ye is here with Princess Wenxian. Please go take a look quickly.”
Eunuch Cheng’s eyes lit up as he quickly approached the front door.
When he arrived, Yue Wang was helping Mu Yunyao out of the carriage.
Mu Yunyao wore a long blue dress without anything embroidered on it. With a watery glow, superior silk and satin fluttered ethereal in her gentle movements. Coupled with her simple accessories, it looked fresh and natural with a single glance, with an ethereal aura.
As for Yue Wang, who supported her, he was dressed in black. He had a tall and slender figure and a cold expression on his face, but his eyes were full of gentle warmth, and he was cautious in his movements for fear of collision.
The two of them stood together, one soft, one tough, one light and one steady. It was simply a match made in heaven.
Eunuch Cheng’s only remaining eye was almost invisible when he smiled. After appreciating it enough, he stepped forward to pay his respects. “Greetings, Your Royal Highness and Miss Mu.”
“There’s no need to be so courteous, Eunuch Cheng,” Mu Yunyao said. When she saw the smiling expression on Eunuch Cheng’s face, the smile on her lips became even more genuine, “I brought a few snacks. They’re not very sweet, so they ought to suit Eunuch’s taste. I’ll take it over and try it later.”
Eunuch Cheng was moved. “Thank you, Miss.”
Mu Yunyao walked into Yue Wang’s residence and saw the scenery inside. Her steps paused as she turned to look at Yue Wang. “Fourth Master, are you repairing the courtyard?”
“Yes.” Yue Wang looked at the front yard. There was an extra fake mountain, some flowers were planted, and two cobblestone paths were paved. It was much more lively than the previously empty courtyard. “Yao’er, do you like it?”
Mu Yunyao blinked, unable to say a single word in her heart. “The backyard has also been repaired?”
“Yes, Eunuch Cheng had people build flower gardens, and the gardeners are growing flowers right now.”
“Then why don’t we go take a look?”
“Alright.”
Looking at the so-called flower garden and then at Yue Wang’s expressionless face, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but ask, “Fourth Master, do you think this flower garden is beautiful?”
The expression on Yue Wang’s face was a bit cold and hard: “Looking at the flowers, it’s not bad to see the bright colors.”
Eunuch Cheng interjected, dissatisfied with his words: “Forgive me, Miss. These gardeners are not good at craftsmanship. I remember that a flower garden was built on the side of the Bu Xian Luo, which looks very eye-catching. Who knows, these craftsmen have completely changed their taste since they planted them.” The gardeners who heard this bowed their heads. That is what they built, so their value has risen, and various mansions have invited them to repair the garden. But after finishing the renovation of Yue Wang’s residence, they may have lost their jobs.
