~ THE CINNABAR OSMANTHUS ~ 

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but be stunned when she saw the people who had brought back the Mid-Autumn Festival gift. The Cinnabar Osmanthus trees were blooming in full bloom as if they hadn’t lost a single bit by coming to the north.

The original scenery of Jiyue Pavilion was quite beautiful. Although the courtyard was quite spacious, these eight plants of Cinnabar Osmanthus were extremely crowded when they were placed down.

Mu Yunyao stood under the flower tree and lifted her head. She lightly pulls down a section of the flower branch, with a warm smile flashed in her eyes.

Jin Qiao’s voice on one side was exclamatory, “It was transported from Jingling City to the Capital. From such a long-distance, yet these Cinnabar Osmanthus still so beautiful. I guess they must have put in quite a bit of effort on this journey.”

Mu Yunyao looked around at the empty ground, “Let’s go and ask Eldest Aunt if it’s possible to temporarily remove some of the flowers and plants from the courtyard.”

The Eldest Madam had long since heard of the commotion. She didn’t wait for Mu Yunyao’s arrival and immediately sent someone to pass on the message that Jiyue Pavilion could be set up as she wished. There was no need for Mu Yunyao to go over there personally, and Mu Yunyao was also happy to have free time. She ordered someone to scoop up the flowers and plants that had initially been planted in Jiyue Pavilion and replace them with Cinnabar Osmanthus.

“Miss, there are three ships outside that have been delivered by the people of Jingling City. They are all food and vegetables. Do you want to bring them all in?”

Mu Yunyao’s expression was somewhat surprised, “It’s all the gift from the people of Jingling City?”

“That’s right. According to Xing Shun Boat Company’s people, the people in Jingling City miss Miss and Madam very much. They often talk about you now.”

“‘Vote me to papaya, and repay it to Qiongju.’* I really didn’t expect that the good intentions I left behind in the past would be rewarded so quickly.” Mu Yunyao’s eyes gradually became darker, as if she was somewhat emotional, but also seemed there was nothing. “Jin Lan, go down and tell them that the three ships sent by the people should not be unloaded for the time being. We’ll leave them on the boats until today’s palace banquet and then dispose of them.”

“Yes, this servant will go tell them right away.”

Mu Yunyao folded a few osmanthus flowers and placed them in a spring bottle before sending them to Su Qing. “Mother, come and take a look. It’s the osmanthus tree from Jingling City.”

Su Qing was helping Mu Yunyao to get dressed before entering the Palace. Thus, she did not go out when she heard the commotion earlier, so when Su Qing saw the bright orange osmanthus flowers, she could not help but reveal an astonished expression. “This color... Could it be Cinnabar Osmanthus?”

“That’s right. Even in Jiangnan, this color of osmanthus flowers is surprisingly rare. Steward Qin is really considerate.”

“You need to thank him again in the future when you get the chance. He has brought it here from far away. This kind of affection is surprisingly rare. Young Master Ning, really considerate.” There was a smile in Su Qing’s eyes as she sized up Mu Yunyao.

Being stared at like that by her own mother, Mu Yunyao felt a little uncomfortable. “These were sent over by Steward Qin. What does it have to do with Young Master Ning?”

Su Qing knew that Mu Yunyao wasn’t willing to talk about these things, so she said, “Alright. If you say it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. Speaking of it, Mid-Autumn Festival is also here. Seeing that you and Young Master Ning are cooperating with each other to earn silver taels, should we prepare some gifts for him? I’ve been too busy all this time, and I don’t have time to ask where Young Master Ning lives? Does Yao’er know?”

“When the time is right, you will know. There is no need to ask about it. Mother, are my clothes ready?”

“I’m already prepared for it. Hurry up and change. It’s getting late. I’m sure it won’t be long before your Second Aunt comes to find you.”

“I’ve already instructed the kitchen to send food over to Mother once they’ve finished cooking. If you find it boring, please let Si Qin and the others accompany…” Mu Yunyao didn’t think much of it at first. But now, seeing that she was about to enter the Palace and leave her mother alone in the Su Family, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy. It was as if something would happen to her mother if she couldn’t see her. He couldn’t help but call over Si Qin and the others, “After I leave, all of you stay with my mother. Do you understand?”

Si Qin and the others quickly replied, “Please be at ease, Miss. We will definitely stay close to Madam and accompany her.”

“Right.” Mu Yunyao was still frowning as she nervously held Su Qing’s hand. Her palms were sweating, “Mother, if there’s anything that you can’t handle, you’ll stay at Jiyue Pavilion and wait for me to come back to deal with it. With Si Qin and the others’ protection, and Liu Liang in the dark, which will make you safe.”

Su Qing couldn’t hold back her laughter, “This place isn’t filled with wolves and tigers, so how could something so easily happen? Don’t worry. Mother will be waiting for you at Jiyue Pavilion.”

Mu Yunyao nodded her head and then took out a few medicine bottles and passed them to Si Qin and the rest, “You have to be extremely careful in everything you do.”

“Yes, Miss.”

A report came from the door that Second Madam had arrived. Mu Yunyao got up to tidy up her dress before she took a deep breath and walked towards the door.

The Second Madam was not very interested in today’s Palace Banquet. After all, her most beloved daughter, Su You, could not go, but at least she had the intention of watching the show. With Mu Yunyao accompanying her, she was in a good mood.

Seeing Mu Yunyao walk out slowly, Second Madam Mu opened her eyes slightly as a sense of awe flashed through her heart. “Yao’er’s dress is strikingly gorgeous today.”

Mu Yunyao was wearing a long dress of haze silver gauze, with a slightly darker butterfly Narcissus dress. The sleeves and neckline are outlined with exquisite orchid patterns with silver thread. Just looking at it made her feel unbearably beautiful. When she started walking, the golden butterflies embroidered on it seem to be dancing along with the dress’s swaying, which makes people amazed.

“Thank you, Second Aunt, for your praise. I run Ni Yun Fang myself, so naturally, I have more ideas than others. In two days, Ni Yun Fang will open, and if Second Aunt likes it, you can take a look around. Maybe you can choose something that will fit your eyes.”

“Then I won’t be polite. I’ve heard that the clothes in Ni Yun Fang are all quite expensive. If I can’t afford the silver, you must sell them to me at a lower price.”

“Second Aunt, you can take whatever clothes you like. I’m sure no one will dare to say no.” Mu Yunyao smiled as she replied.

“Hehe, that’s great. At that time, I will definitely not be polite.”

When they arrived at the entrance, the Eldest Madam and Su Yuyi’s carriage had just lifted and pulled down the curtain when they heard the faint sound of horse hooves on the stone floor as they slowly walked forward.

Su Ya Xian, Su Ya Jing, and Su Ya Ling were standing at the door. When they saw the Second Madam, they hurriedly went forward to greet her. “Greetings, Second Aunt.”

“There’s no need to be so courteous. It’s getting late. Let’s get on the carriage and quickly enter the Palace.”

“Yes.”

Mu Yunyao slightly bent her knees. “Greetings, three female cousins.”

Su Yaxin stepped forward to support Mu Yunyao’s arm, “Sister is too courteous. Hurry up and get on the carriage.”

Su Yaxian and the others knew that the Second Madam did not have many feelings for them. The reason they were able to bring them into the Palace today was all because of what the Old Madam had said, so they seemed extraordinarily well-behaved and quiet along the way.

On the other hand, Mu Yunyao was a bit more at ease. From time to time, she would converse with the Second Madam, causing the atmosphere not to appear awkward in the carriage.

The entrance of the Imperial Palace was bustling with noise and excitement. The imperial guards guarded the Palace’s entrance while attendants escorted the officials and their families off the carriage. Although there were many of them, they appeared to be in an orderly manner.

Mu Yunyao had just gotten out of the carriage when she saw a young eunuch walking over with quick steps, “Xiao Gui greets Miss Mu.”

*Poetry Weifeng Papaya: “Vote me to papaya, and repay it to Qiongju.”

~ MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL IN THE CAPITAL ~ 

During the Mid Autumn Festival, just after the harvest, the streets are crowded with people who come out to buy things for the Mid Autumn Festival. Many young masters and students of aristocratic families also got leave, and they came out one after another to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Capital. Today was a rare day where there was no curfew, allowing them to linger outside and admire the Capital’s night view.

At this moment, several large ships docked at the pier. The boatmen wore Xing Shun Boat Company’s logo clothes carefully moved the boats’ things to the shore.

Initially, people who saw these ships were just a little curious, but after seeing the goods being transported off the boat, they couldn’t help but stare with wide eyes.

“Then... What kind of tree is that? It looks like an osmanthus tree from so far away, but the color of the osmanthus flowers is actually orange-red?”

“It’s Cinnabar Osmanthus. The color is so beautiful. Whose family is it that has such a large sum of money to use ships to transport the Cinnabar Osmanthus to the Capital?”

The Cinnabar Osmanthus trees were carefully being carried down from the boat and placed on both sides of the dock. The orange-red flowers were incomparably beautiful, and clusters of them attracted people’s attention under the setting of green leaves.

The news spread like wildfire, causing more and more people to come to watch the show.

When Qi Mama brought her servants to the pier, they were shocked by the surrounding crowd of onlookers. There were three floors inside and three outside. It could be said that there was no way out. Just what rare thing had they brought here that could attract so many people?

Jin Lan stood at the side with an anxious expression. “Qi Mama, quickly send someone to retrieve this item. After all, it was brought all the way here for Miss. It can’t be damaged in the slightest.”

“It’s just that there are too many people here...”

At this moment, someone shouted, “Those in front, move out of the way. Someone from the main house has come to move things.”

Everyone had long been curious as to who was the one who had made such a big move. Upon hearing the host’s arrival, all of them immediately looked over.

“Is that the Su family?”

“Isn’t it? It’s the Su family of Shangshu Mansion!”

“No wonder they could make such a big move, Cinnabar Osmanthus. Furthermore, it is so tall, and its flowers are so lush and colorful. There is no damage to it when it is transported all the way from Jiangnan. I’m afraid the cost is not small.”

“Who can say no? In the past, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Su family has never made such a big move. Speaking of it, they really do have a deep foundation. It is probably the first time that they have sent Cinnabar Osmanthus from Jiangnan to the Capital, right?”

“Anyway, I’ve never heard of it before … For ordinary officials, it would be good if they could get a potted plant or two. It is a large tree that has already grown into a forest. It will take them at least ten years to grow up.”

Seeing that the crowd opened up a path, Jin Lan quickly said to Qi Mama, “That’s great. The path is open. Mama, please get someone to help us move back the trees and flowers. Speaking of which, Shopkeeper Qin was indeed considerate. Last year, Miss mentioned that it would be great if she could appreciate that Cinnabar Osmanthus. Shopkeeper Qin then sent someone to plant a few stalks in Jin Xiu Garden. Initially, she thought that she would come to the Capital this year and she would have no chance of meeting it again, but who would have thought that Shopkeeper Qin would actually send someone to transport the osmanthus tree over from Jingling City. Miss must be surprisingly happy to see it.”

Quite a few people were surrounding them. When they heard someone call the main house over, everyone’s gazes focused on Jin Lan, Qi Mama, and the rest. When they heard these words, they felt that something was wrong: Shopkeeper Qin, Jin Xiu Garden, Jingling City. Why did it sound like these osmanthus trees were not bought by the Su family?! On the contrary, it looked like someone had specially sent it to Miss Biao, who has just returned from the Su family?

Someone could not contain their curiosity and asked the boatman from Xing Shun Boat Company, who was guarding the osmanthus trees, “Are these osmanthus trees for the Su family’s Young Miss?”

The boatman could not react in time and honestly shook his head. “It is for Miss Mu.”

“Miss Mu? Isn’t that the Su family’s Young Miss Biao? The owner of the Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo, right? “

“Ah, it is for Young Miss Mu.”

Upon hearing this, many people inwardly exclaimed in admiration. It was such an enormous investment, really a big one! However, four ships were used to transport the Cinnabar Osmanthus, and there were three more followings!

“The other three ships behind also have Cinnabar Osmanthus?”

The boatman shook his head. “That’s not the case. Those two boats are carrying gifts given to Miss Mu by the people of Jingling City.”

“The people gave it to Lady Mu?”

“Hmm, isn’t this the end of the Autumn Harvest? With Miss mu in mind, the people sent some food, fruits, and vegetables. However, many things were inconvenient to transport, and the boat could not hold them, so they only brought half of them. Our masters were scolded because of this, saying that the ship we built on Xing Shun Boat Company was too small. “

Looking at the boatman’s honest face, the young master, who was speaking at the side, sized up the big ships and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. If this boat was a little bigger, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be able to get out on the Bianhe river. He really didn’t know what to say.…

With the previous experience of transporting Mu Yunyao’s luggage, when Qi Mama went out this time, she specially brought extra people with her, just that she was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough people. But now, it seemed like she still led fewer people with her. Qi Mama instructed people to move things. She also ordered people to return to the residence to report the matter to the Eldest Madam.

The three boats at the back were deep in water, and the things on them must be heavy. This time, they were going to pull all the servants in residence over.

When the Eldest Madam heard the news, she could not maintain her smile. “I’ve brought all the people in from the East courtyard over, and it’s still not enough. Did she move all of Jingling City over?”

The servant in charge of the reply said fearfully, “Reporting to Madam. There are some osmanthus trees on the boat. I heard that there are also gifts from the people of Jingling City. There are a total of three large ships, and even the pier is crowded. It’s not early anymore. If we hurry up and move to the mansion, we can still take it into the residence before dark. If we continue to delay, there will be more people on the streets in the evening. It’s not easy to transport goods in a crowded place. “

The Eldest Madam closed her palms as a cold glint flashed across her eyes. “Then send someone to deliver the gift quickly. We can’t allow others to send a gift to our doorstep, yet we don’t have the people to move back to the house. Isn’t this a joke?”

“Yes, then this servant will go to the West Courtyard to borrow some people.”

The Eldest Madam waved her hands irritably. “Go on.”

Last time, there were not enough people to transport the luggage. After running a few times, they finally managed to move everything back to the mansion, which was already a joke for the Capital’s people. But now, it’s happening again. Furthermore, the situation seemed to be even worse than last time. Now I don’t know what will come out of the rumors of the Capital dispute after today?

At the thought of this, the Eldest Madam felt that her breath was not smooth and her chest was very stuffy: Su Qing and Mu Yunyao seemed to be naturally antagonistic to the Su family. It was only half a month since they returned to the Su family, which made her feel more congested than in the past year! It seems that we really need to think of some ways. We can’t let those stones stand there all the time!

~ MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL PALACE BANQUET ~ 

“What did Royal Elder Sister say? The Palace is your home. You can come back whenever you want. If anyone feels that it’s too troublesome, I’ll drive them out.” As the Emperor spoke, he glanced at the people behind him with a stern look in his eyes.

The Imperial Concubines, Princes, and Princesses behind him all inwardly complained as they hurriedly lowered their heads and bowed respectfully.

The Emperor was usually wise and thoughtful and was decisive in his actions. However, when it involved the matter of Grand Princess Yi De, he was particularly paranoid. He didn’t allow anyone to say anything not good about Grand Princess Yi De. Over the years, they are used to it.

The Grand Princess Yi De laughed softly. “Royal Little Brother, do you want this Imperial Sister to stand like this forever?”

“Royal Elder Sister, come with me. A banquet has already been set up in the Yuhua Palace. I want to receive you with a welcoming reception.”

“No need to go through so much trouble. Serve some food and wine, and the two of us will have a nice chat. We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and I’m not sure if Royal Little Brother is doing well?”

“Alright, I’ll listen to my Royal Elder Sister. I really have a lot of things I want to say to my Royal Elder Sister.”

Many of the concubines secretly heaved sighs of relief as they saw the Emperor and the Grand Princess off. Every time Grand Princess Yi De returned to the Imperial Palace, the Palace would be at the most peaceful and tranquil time. If anyone dared to cause anything to happen under the eyes of the Grand Princess Yi De, it makes her unhappy, and the Emperor alone will beat people straight to the Cold Palace.

The wine and food were served, and the Palace people bowed before retreating. Only the Emperor and Grand Princess Yi De were left in the Yuhua Palace.

The Emperor personally helped Princess Yi De fill up her wine cup, and his eyes were filled with happiness. This sort of expression was completely different from the regularly imposing Emperor, “Royal Elder Sister, you haven’t come back in a while. A lot of things happened inside and outside the Palace.”

The Grand Princess Yi De had a smile on her face, and her eyes lighted softly: “No matter what happens, isn’t it possible for Royal Little Brother to solve this problem?”

“Although it can be resolved, when I feel that my Royal Elder Sister isn’t by my side, it feels like my heart isn’t at ease at all.” He was no longer a prince who had no one to rely on in the past, but the habit he had developed back then had always been with him. Even now, after sitting firmly on the throne for dozens of years, his imperial power was majestic, and no one dared to provoke him. He still reminisced about the time when he was accompanied by his sister.

Grand Princess Yi De smiled slightly, her entire body rippling with peerless elegance. “This time, I plan to stay a bit longer. First of all, I also miss my Royal Little Brother. As I get older, I always miss my family. Secondly, I wanted to solve the problem that had been weighing on my mind all year round, and I could find a daughter to put in my name for my lost child. “

“Royal Elder Sister.” The Emperor couldn’t help but feel guilty, “Back then …”

Grand Princess Yi De picked up the wine glass and smiled unchanged on her face: “I say that this matter isn’t about making you feel guilty. No matter if it was before or now, I have never regretted my decision to send a message. Even if time had flowed and it had allowed me to return to the past, I would still have chosen to send a message to you, my Royal Little Brother.”

“Royal Elder Sister …”

“Don’t bring up the past. Let’s not talk about the matter anymore. Today, after so much trouble, you and I will meet again, so let’s have a drink first?”

“I offer my respects to Royal Elder Sister.”

The return of Grand Princess Yi De caused an uproar in the entire Capital. In particular, in the backyards of the officials’ families. Countless people watched the young ladies of the families practice etiquette and prepare for the banquet.

Mu Yunyao lazily leaned on the soft couch as she teased the Snow Fox beside her with a peacock feather, making it jump up and down like a cat chasing the peacock feather.

When Su Qing walked in and saw her like this, she couldn’t help but chuckle, “A good Snow Fox, it really changed your disposition.”

“It’s called doing as the Romans do. In the Capital, if it’s a Snow Fox, then maybe it will be caught and stripped of its fur as a collar. If it were a cat, then it would have been different. It can’t be raised up carefully and meticulously.” Mu Yunyao’s eyes revealed a smile. It seemed like she had enough, so she threw the piece of the peacock feather to the Snow Fox, and in a few moments, it had destroyed it.

Su Qing, who was at the side, felt her heart pain. “What a good item. Normally, you can’t even buy it if you want to buy it. Why you used it to grind its claws?”

“It’s too gorgeous, and it always makes people feel annoyed. It’s also good to be able to grind the claws of a Snow Fox.” Mu Yunyao sat up and supported her jaw with one hand, “Mother, you said that during the Palace Banquet tomorrow, what sort of talent will my beloved Elder Sister Yuyi perform?”

“How am I supposed to know that? But it’s her specialty after all.” As Su Qing said this, she suddenly remembered, “Yao’er, are you preparing to perform something as well?”

“Those who were preparing for the show all wanted to gain the attention of Grand Princess Yi De. As for me, I have no other requests, so naturally, I don’t need any.”

“That’s true, we’ll treat it as meeting tomorrow, so there’s no need to worry too much.”

Mu Yunyao slightly narrowed her eyes. It was unknown what she thought of, but her smile was too strong. “Mother, I’ll borrow Si Shu by your side.”

“But what has she got to do with it?”

“Yeah, there’s something I’ve been preparing for a long time. I can finally use it today.”

“Then go.”

“Alright, thank you, Mother.”

The next day, August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

In order to make up for not being able to spend the day with her mother during the Mid-Autumn Festival, on the evening of the day before, Mu Yunyao and Su Qing sat in the courtyard admiring the moon. Although the moon in the sky wasn’t yet complete, the two of them didn’t mind at all. It was also good scenery.

Thus, Mu Yunyao woke up a little late in the morning. Fortunately, there was still a lot of time to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet.

Just as she ate something, Jin Lan walked in and reported, “Miss, the Su family’s steward sent a message saying that a few boats had come up from the dock to send Miss a congratulatory gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

“A congratulatory gift?” Mu Yunyao was slightly surprised, “Did you say where it was sent from?”

“It’s from Jingling City. Your servant thinks it could be from Shopkeeper Qin and Lady Ding?”

“It’s highly possible. You and Mo Yu went to report to Eldest Aunt and asked her to send someone to help you with the things on the boat.”

“Yes, Miss.”

The Eldest Madam was looking at the people helping Su Yuyi to dress up. When she heard Jin Lan and Mo Yu’s words, her face had a smile on it, “Qi Mama, bring Jin Lan and Mo Yu down to pick out a few men, make them lighten their limbs a little, don’t ruin the congratulatory gift that others gave to Yunyao.”

“Yes, Madam.”When Qi Mama led the people to withdraw, Su Yuyi put down her jade hairpin in her hand: “Just in time to give a congratulatory gift on this day, did she ever receive a gift?” Although she had figured out the meaning of the two pots of flowers that Jin Wang gave to Mu Yunyao, she still felt that grudge in her heart.

“Why would it affect your mood for her? It’s just a little gift. Do you want something?” The Eldest Madam looked at Su Yuyi with disapproval.

“Mother, Daughter knows she was wrong. She was saying it casually just now. Please don’t be angry.” Su Yuyi quickly turned around and apologized.

“Alright. How can Mother be angry with you?” The Eldest Madam took the jade hairpin from the dressing table and carefully inserted it into Su Yuyi’s hair. She looked at her daughter, who was incomparably beautiful in the bronze mirror as her lips filled with a smile. “If you don’t sing, then it’ll be an astonishing noise; if you don’t fly, then you can soar into the sky! After today, my daughter will definitely become the number one beauty of the entire Dali Dynasty!”

~ GRAND PRINCESS YI DE RETURNING TO THE CAPITAL ~ 

Mu Yunyao had always paid attention to food and was unwilling to save on expenses. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to make the dishes every time she ordered them in the kitchen. She had already accumulated some complaints about the past few days, and today, she had asked for two stoves to be set free, which had caused a great deal of trouble for the people.

After all, there are only a few people in the kitchen. Other than the Old Madam’s, who has her own small kitchen, all the people in the whole residence are waiting to have dinner. If Mu Yunyao’s order is accommodated, she will naturally neglect other people. After a while, someone passed these words to the Eldest Madam.

Su Yuyi, who was sitting at the side, was sulking. Upon hearing his words, her brows immediately twitched, “All the food in the house is from the kitchen, and no one has a big face. She asked for one or two stoves to be left alone. The person is not big, but the mind is not small!”

“Yuyi!” The Eldest Madam looked over indifferently, and Su Yuyi angrily stopped talking, “It was also my negligence. Sister Su Qing and Yunyao stayed in Jingling City for quite a long time, so I assume that their taste is different from ours. I’m afraid they get used to the food in the kitchen. In this case, let’s set up a small kitchen in Jiyue Pavilion alone.”

Su Yuyi frowned, “Mother, Yunyao is already so arrogant. Why are you still going easy on her?”

Han Shan asked, “There are people who slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, underestimate me, despise me, hate me, and deceive me. What should I do?” Shide replied, “Just endure him, let him, give him, avoid him, tolerate him, respect him, ignore him, and stay for a few more years, then you can look at him!”

A cold light flashed in the Eldest Madam’s eyes flashed, sharp as a blade. “Mu Yunyao has just received a reward from the Emperor, so her attitude is naturally different from others. Besides, Jin Wang gave her a gift, which made her wild for a while. After a while … Mother will help you get rid of this obstruction!”

Su Yuyi’s eyes lit up, “Mother, you have a plan?”

“Aren’t all methods thought of by humans? If I thought about it carefully, how could I not found any idea? Right now, the most important thing for you is to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet. You don’t need to worry about anything else, understand?”

Su Yuyi’s brows revealed a hint of worry, and she gently held the Eldest Madam’s arm: “Mother, if it were in the past, I would always have had a control-self, but now, I don’t know why, as long as I see Mu Yunyao, I feel like I can’t control anything, as though she was born to be to overcome me.”

The Eldest Madam’s eyes suddenly flashed a cold light. “Yuyi, don’t worry. Mother will let you have your way.” With so much wind and waves coming, would she be able to turn the boat in a small ditch?

Su Yuyi still felt uncomfortable in her heart, “Mother, why do you think His Royal Highness Jin gave Mu Yunyao a present?”

“So that’s what you care, you only know that he gave her a present, but do you know what he gave her?”

“Aren’t they two precious pots of chrysanthemums?”

“A basin of Shameless Beauty and a pot of Baiou Zhubo.”

The Eldest Madam smiled, “You slowly think about it. When you figure it out, you won’t worry about it anymore. You need to think more about things in the future. Don’t be so impatient today. Remember, as a master, you must not show any emotions and don’t let others know what you really think.”

“Yes, Daughter will remember.”

On the evening of the fourteenth day of August, the sound of gongs and bells suddenly came from the quiet street. A group of over a hundred guards escorted an impressive and dignified imperial chariot as they slowly entered the Capital. At the door, the officials from the Ministry of Rites had already arrived to receive them. They raised their heads to look at the flying golden phoenix chariot. With a single glance, they respectfully lowered their heads.

Princess Yi De is the most legendary woman in Dali Dynasty. She has been the most favored princess, has experienced the bloodiest battle, has commanded the bravest army, and has been sitting on the vast and prosperous country. Once, she was only close to the throne and did not know how many courtiers have ever been secretly worried that the princess would seek power to usurp the throne. Because at that time, her skill was so great that she could kill all the princes and rule the world by herself. But no one thought that she wholeheartedly supported the current Emperor with all her heart. She handed over the military power in her hand, no longer participated in any battles, and retired to the Palace to eat and chant Buddhism. If it weren’t for the fact that she was looking for her lost daughter, she probably wouldn’t even have left the Palace.

Once the imperial chariot had entered the Capital, the imperial guards personally dispatched by the Emperor moved forward to protect it. They majestically headed towards the Imperial Palace. The chariot drove straight through the dignified and majestic gate of Supreme Harmony and came to the front of Supreme Harmony Hall before stopping steadily.

On the steps, the Emperor actually disregarded his majesty and directly walked down from the steps in front of Supreme Harmony Hall. Standing firmly in front of the imperial chariot, he bent down slightly and said with excitement in his eyes, “Royal Elder Sister, you’re finally back.”

The curtains of the imperial chariot opened, and a pure white hand stretched out to hold the Emperor’s arm as she slowly walked out.

Grand Princess Yi De wore a simple and elegant imperial dress with a phoenix pattern outlined by gold thread. On her head was a phoenix pearl hairpin, and her hair was supple and meticulous. Years leave a faint trace on her face, which not only does not damage her beauty but also adds a bit of dignity.

“My Royal Brother is already this old. Why is he still acting so carelessly?” Her voice was gentle as she helped the Emperor gently arrange the beads around his neck. There was a faint light in her eyes and a twinkling of love and yearning in her eyes.

The Emperor’s eyes flashed suddenly. Such a familiar action made him suddenly recall the time when he was only seven or eight years old. At that time, his royal sister was the previous Emperor’s favorite princess, and he was merely a prince born from a palace maid that had been pampered overnight. It was difficult for him to move about in the Palace. He was struggling in the Palace. He was teased by several elder brothers and pressed in the mud in the name of a martial arts competition. When his royal sister passed by, she did exactly the same as she did now. She helped him up and gently tidied his clothes. “Royal Elder Sister, you must come back and stay here for a few more days. Yuhua Palace has already been tidied up, and the furnishings inside have been changed according to Royal Elder Sister’s preferences. You will definitely feel at ease living here.” As the Emperor spoke, his eyes flashed with anticipation. The older a person was, the more they would reminisce about nostalgic times. Over the years, when his royal sister wasn’t around, he began to miss her more and more.

A smile was on Grand Princess Yi De’s face, but she didn’t either agree or refuse. Her gaze was calm as she looked at the Imperial Concubines, Princes, and Princesses standing behind the Emperor. “Enough. Go back to the Palace and speak. So as not to let the younger generation see the Emperor’s joke.”

The Imperial Concubines, Princes, and Princesses hurried forward to salute, their movements respectful and especially thorough. The Grand Princess Yi De nodded with a smile. “You don’t have to pay the courtesy. On this trip back, we were actually able to cause such a commotion. It really makes one feel uneasy.”

~ JIN WANG’S INVITATION ~ 

“Yao’er, you want to befriend with the Second Madam?”

“Not really. I have more or less given Su You some face. That fifth sister…How to say, I always feel like I’m in the same boat with her.”

“Sympathize with each other?” Su Qing thought for a moment and suddenly reacted. “Yao’er, I can see that Su You’s body is really fragile. I’ve heard you mention the Su family before, but you’ve never mentioned her. Could it be?”

Mu Yunyao slightly nodded her head, “If we were to calculate according to the time, it should be around the age of 15. ThatElder Sister Su You probably won’t be able to hold on.”

Su Qing’s heart skipped a beat. Although she hadn’t spoken to Su You, she had a look at her from afar. The child was even thinner and weaker than Yao’er. “Can you still save her?” Although she felt that it was a pity, she was selfish enough not to involve her daughter.

Mu Yunyao’s eyes flashed with a dark light. “Mother, I secretly took a look at her pulse. I have sixty to seventy percent confidence in myself, and I’ve also discovered a surprisingly interesting matter.”

“Hmm?”

“She has accumulated quite a lot of poison in her body. Although it is said that there will be three portions of poison in her body and there will be some residual poison within her body after taking medicine all year round, it shouldn’t have accumulated to such an extent? Who do you think is behind this?”

Su Qing felt chills behind her back. She thought that the entire Su family was like a vicious beast with its mouth wide open, and it was unknown when it would bite down, causing people not even have a corpse. “Although Su You was the Second Madam’s daughter, as a daughter’s family, she didn’t hinder people much. Why should someone do so much harm to her?”

“There must be some other reason, but we don’t know about it yet.”

Mu Yunyao had a faint guess in her heart, but she didn’t have any evidence at the moment and couldn’t rashly tell Su Qing about it. Thought about it, this matter gave off a goosebumps feeling.

Although Su You was a girl, the girls in the officials’ families had always been precious. She was the direct descendant and held an important position amongst the descendants of the Su family. Besides, her Second Uncle and Second Aunt were very fond of her. All the imperial physicians in the Palace were invited, but a lot of poison accumulated in her body. Could it be that none of the imperial physicians invited could detect the poison? Since she could see through it, why didn’t they remind them? If she thought about it more deeply, if someone could move his hand all the way to the head of the Second house without the Second house noticing, what kind of identity did this person have?

Mu Yunyao slightly blinked her eyes, her heart filled with curiosity. In her previous life, although she also had doubts in her heart. But because of her identity, she couldn’t verify them one by one. She had plenty of time and energy in this life to dig out the hidden things of the Su family. She is also sure that these things will push the Su family to the bottomless abyss!

Mu Yunyao didn’t take the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet to heart, but she didn’t expect that Third Prince, Jin Wang, would deliver a post to her door the next day. Along with the gifts that Jin Wang prepared, they weren’t considered expensive, only two pots of blooming chrysanthemums.

Mu Yunyao took the invitation. It was personally written by Jin Wang to invited her to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet.

Jin Lan courteously sent the person who sent the post and gift away. When she returned, she saw Mu Yunyao’s smiling expression as she examined the chrysanthemum. “Miss, why His Royal Highness Jin send a gift to you?”

Mu Yunyao extended her pure white fingertips and lightly touched the petals in front of her. “Jin Lan, do you know the names of these two chrysanthemums?”

“This servant doesn’t recognize him. But, I think it looks pretty good.”

“This pot of white, with the slender and curled petal and light purple tips, were called Baiou Zhubo, while the petals the other has two different colors. The petals on the front are red and black, while the back is a flawless white. When the petals closed, people would think that the flower was white, but after it was fully bloomed, they found something mysterious inside. So, they have named it Shameless Beauty.” Mu Yunyao said while carefully measuring that pot of Shameless Beauty. It seemed that she was extremely fond of it.

Jin Lan frowned and thought for a moment before asking hesitantly, “Miss, aren’t the names of these two pots of flowers a little strange?” It always gave people the feeling that Jin Wang had an ulterior motive.

Mu Yunyao lightly laughed as a light flashed in her eyes, “You said that it has some other profound meaning, but in reality, it’s just two pots of flowers. If you say that it’s ordinary and unremarkable, then this name only makes people think.” It was the outstanding aspect of Jin Wang. He had only done fifty to sixty percent of what he said. But, in the eyes of the onlookers, he always felt that he had done his best. Therefore, even the Emperor was looking up to him with all his might. He had even said the words ‘Jin Wang Xiao Zhen’ before, and it was only because of these four words that Jin Wang had been able to travel smoothly in the Imperial Court these past few years.

“Miss, what is the meaning of these two pots of flowers?”

Mu Yunyao lightly withdrew her finger and took two steps back. She carefully appreciated the pot of Shameless Beauty and said, “Put these two pots of flowers on the windowsill of my room. I can see that they’re extremely my style and let Jin Qiao carefully take care of them.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Su Qing arrived at Mu Yunyao’s room and immediately saw the flower pot on the windowsill. “Yao’er, why did you place the flowers here?”

Mu Yunyao extended a hand and pulled Su Qing to the window sill to admire them. “Mother, take a careful look. Are these two pots of flowers pretty?”

Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand and pulled Su Qing to the windowsill to admire. “Mother, take a closer look. Are these two pots of flowers beautiful?”

“It looks astonishingly beautiful, especially this flower pot with two colors petal. It is certainly amazing to look at.” The white side was pure and flawless, while the other side was a deep red, even the color was a bit black.

“I like this Shameless Beauty very much too.” Mu Yunyao’s eyes held a smile. “Mother, I didn’t want to enter the Palace at first, but Third Prince ordered someone to send a post. Coincidentally, I also want to enter the Palace to take a look at Elder Sister Yuyi’s demeanor, so I’m afraid that I won’t be able to accompany you during the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

“That’s nothing. We are together every day and reunited every day. It doesn’t matter if it’s Mid-Autumn Festival or not.”

“Then Mother will make some mooncakes for me to eat tonight.”

“There’s no problem for my mother to do it, but the kitchen...”

“It’s okay, let Jin Lan give them orders and free up one or two stoves.”

Su Qing felt that this wasn’t appropriate. After all, there were many things to be done in the kitchen. If they can spare two for them, the others might have to wait a little longer before they could eat.

Mu Yunyao, however, didn’t mind at all, “Mother, there’s no need to think much about it. I only want to find an excuse to create a small kitchen. To eat the food in the kitchen, a meal or two, and it isn’t a big deal, but I won’t be able to bear it for a long time.” They’re all things that need to be imported. They’re in the hands of others, and they don’t have the peace of mind to hold them.

“Well then, let Jin Lan give an order later.” Su Qing nodded and stopped insisting. Besides, she also wanted to make something for Yao’er.

~ THE SECOND MADAM’S EXPRESSION OF GOODWILL ~ 

After exiting the Old Madam’s courtyard, Mu Yunyao wanted to accompany Su Qing back to Jiyue Pavilion when she saw the Second Madam greet them. “Yunyao, I originally wanted to bring you with me to the Palace, but who would’ve thought …”

Mu Yunyao could feel the kindness from the Second Madam’s body. After a moment of thought, she understood that it couldn’t be Su You’s credit, and the smile on her face couldn’t help but become more genuine, “No matter what, thank you, Second Aunt.”

Noticing the change in Mu Yunyao’s expression, the Second Madam stepped forward and held Su Qing’s hand, “Little Sister Su Qing, I haven’t been to Jiyue Pavilion since you came back. Would you welcome me today?”

Su Qing hurriedly replied with a smile, “I’ve long wanted to invite Second Sister-in-Law over. It’s just that you have to take care of You’er and are usually busy. I don’t dare to speak out rashly, but it so happens that we have the opportunity to meet today .”

Returning to Jiyue Pavilion, the Second Madam examined the decorations within and could not help but sigh in amazement. “I didn’t expect that I would be unable to recognize them in such a short period of time. Every single one of these items is true of the highest quality. I can’t stop seeing it.”

Su Qing asked Si Qin to serve tea and walked around the hall with the Second Madam. “These things are arranged by Yao’er. I only think they are good-looking, but I can’t say what’s good exactly. I only make Second Sister laugh.”

“Look at what little sister is saying.” The Second Madam couldn’t help but smile. “I hate those literary people the most. They will stop when they see wild grass on the side of the road and have to recite a poem. Let me say that the sourness all over my body is about to come out. I can’t bear that one the most, but I think my sister’s temperament is so understanding and friendly. Speaking of which, I have come here today not only to take a seat but also to thank Yao’er.”

“Yao’er?”

“That’s right. I’ve spoiled my daughter so much. She doesn’t know how to talk and do things all the time, but, fortunately, Yao’er has a calm personality. She actually managed to get along with her.”

Mu Yunyao took the teacup from Si Qin and placed it next to Second Aunt and Su Qing. “What are Second Aunt’s words about to say? We’re all sisters. How can something be going on?”

The Second Madam reached out her hand to pull Mu Yunyao away. Her attitude was very close, “My family knows their own affairs. If other people see my daughter’s character, they would have to say the word ‘abnormal’ to her, but I only have one daughter. Moreover, her health is not good. She can’t live without medicine all year-round. Watching her suffer every day, it seems that I have a knife in my heart, so I can’t bear to control her temperament. Yao’er, since the two of you can get along, I hope that you can accompany her a little more in the future. You’er has been very lonely since she was a child. “

Hearing the uncontrollable grief in Second Madam’s voice, Su Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit more upset. However, she still cared about her daughter a little more and didn’t dare to agree on Yunyao’s behalf so quickly.

When Mu Yunyao saw the expression in Su Qing’s eyes, she couldn’t help but smile. “Second Aunt, don’t worry. Jiyue Pavilion isn’t far from the West Courtyard. I might come over later to disturb you.”

The Second Madam was pleased to hear that. “Where there is any disturbance? You can come whenever you want. This time, it was really a pity. The Emperor had ordered the officials and their families to head the Palace with the intention of getting Grand Princess Yi De to choose one of these official young ladies and place her in the name of the Grand Princess’s lost daughter. If You’er can attend the banquet, even if the Grand Princess doesn’t fancy her, it would be great if she could receive a few words of advice.”

Su Qing was not disappointed at all. “The fortune is decided by heaven. Without fortune, even if the fortune falls down, we can’t catch it. Yao’er and I would already be satisfied if we could live a peaceful life. We don’t dare to hope for those that don’t exist. No matter, we have to thank second sister-in-law’s goodwill.”

The Second Madam originally came over to take a seat for Su You’s sake, but after hearing Su Qing’s words, she couldn’t help but look at her more highly, “As mothers, we only hope that our daughter will be safe and sound and that she will be content and happy.”

Su Qing could not help but smile, “We feel contented ourselves, but in the eyes of others, we can’t help feeling that we’re hopeless.”

“Hehe, I never would have thought that my sister and I would get along so well. If we have no future, then we would have no future. Being able to walk to the end safely is even better than stepping on mud in the wind and rain.”

The Eldest Madam originally wanted to keep Su Yuyi in her boudoir in order to one day shock all living beings. But now, she hurriedly pushed her over and used the previous banquet to gain fame so that people know who she is.

However, she felt that this was an opportunity to soar to the heavens in a single step, and the others naturally would not let it go. In order to make Grand Princess Yi De look up to her, who knew how many people would put in so much effort. If she wanted to stand at the end, she had to be ready to be bloody. It was better not to be mixed with it.

Su Qing nodded her head repeatedly, “That’s the truth.”

The Second Madam sat and drank a cup of tea. After chatting for a while longer, she stood up and said goodbye. Mu Yunyao and Su Qing sent them out and then returned to their rooms to sit and talk.

Although the Second Madam and she had a big talk about it earlier, she knew that Mu Yunyao wanted to take revenge on the Su Family and Jin Wang. But with their current statuses, it was no different than an ant trying to shake a tree. If she could enter the eyes of Grand Princess Yi De, then that would be different, “Yao’er, do you feel sorry that you can’t go to the Palace this time?”

When Mu Yunyao raised her head and saw the expression in Su Qing’s eyes, she immediately understood what she was thinking. She quickly got up and sat down, acting spoiled as she leaned against her mother’s shoulder, “The thing that I am most proud of in my life is being Mother’s daughter, so I don’t want to remember anyone’s name. I can’t bear to part with Mother! Could it be Mother dislike me?”

Su Qing couldn’t help but smile as she turned around and stroked her long silky hair. “Mother only has you as her precious daughter. It wouldn’t even be enough to keep her warm in her heart. How could I dislike her? I’m just worried that your heart might be unwilling.”

“Mother, don’t let your thoughts run wild. From the beginning, we were the only ones who relied on each other. In the future, we won’t have the luxury of backer falling from the sky. No matter what, we are the only ones who can rely on.”

“Fine, no matter what you want to do, Mother will always support you.”

“Mother is so nice.” Mu Yunyao smiled as she rubbed Su Qing’s shoulder in satisfaction. “That’s right, what does Mother think of Second Aunt?”

“She looks pretty good, and her personality is also straightforward. It’s not like the Eldest Madam, who can’t see the end of it with a single glance, which makes people feel that their thoughts are unpredictable. The most important thing is that she dotes on Su You very much. To be able to love her daughter with everything she has, a person shouldn’t be too bad …”

Mu Yunyao blinked, “Mother thinks it’s good. Then I’ll take a closer look. Although we don’t rely on anyone else, we can’t fight alone when it’s time to join forces.”

~ GREAT AMBITION ~ 

“Mother once said that it was from an ancient poem, Feng Guiyun. ‘Seeing Yuyi at the edge of the golden fence. Hanging cold branches on the sycamore tree.’ It is what Mother wishes for me.”

“That’s right. Mother wished for you to be as noble and beautiful as a phoenix. You already have beauty, and it’s beyond anyone can match. The only thing that is lacking is nobility.” The Eldest Madam’s eyes held a deeper meaning. “In the eyes of others, the legitimate daughter of the scholar’s family is noble enough. But in the eyes of those true nobles, she was only a servant of some status. Mother wishes for you to be a master, an incomparably noble master!”

“Mother?” Su Yuyi’s body trembled. It was the first time she had heard such words. There were an unease and an indescribable excitement in her heart, causing her back to feel hot. “Mother, you want me to transform into a real phoenix?”

“That’s right, a real Phoenix, the mother of a nation!” When the Eldest Madam said the last words, her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, “Yuyi, with a face like yours, you were born with a higher status than others. No matter what, you will be able to obtain it easily. Therefore, you can walk far away. You don’t need to care about Mu Yunyao. When you stand at the top, you will realize that she’s just an ant that can be casually crushed. You even only need to frown slightly to find someone to help you remove this eyesore!”

“Mother …” Su Yuyi took a deep breath and suppressed her heart that was about to jump out. “I... I don’t know if I can do it.”

The Eldest Madam snickered her lips and smiled, “You can do it! Your father and I have been planning so hard for so long merely to push you up. You saw the Third Prince today. What do you think of him?”

Thinking of the handsome Jin Wang, Su Yuyi couldn’t help but blush and lower her head slightly, “His Royal Highness Third Prince is naturally excellent.”

The Eldest Madam smiled knowingly, “That’s good. Now you’ve come to the front of the people. Mother has to tell you a lot of things. Your father and I have chosen the third prince, Jin Wang as your marriage candidate.”

“But the Third Prince’s background isn’t good, could it be ….”

“Although the Third Prince’s mother was born into a lowly background, she has now become an Imperial Concubine. Heroes aren’t asked where they come from, and since ancient times, battles have only depended on the outcome, and it’s wishful thinking if she didn’t get in that position. But, once she got into that position, she will be filled with courage and determination. What does her current birth count as?” The Eldest Madam said she did not care at all, “Yuyi, your path is different. You are destined to have a different vision than others. When the ancestors were establishing Dali Dynasty, Ancestor Gao had hoped that each generation of emperors would be taken over by their first son. You can see that now Dali Dynasty has experienced nine generations of emperors, But, none of them was their first son, so birth is nothing at all.”

Su Yuyi nodded his head: “That’s true. Look at the current Fourth Prince, His Royal Highness Yue Wang. She is the legitimate son of the previous Empress, and she comes from a noble family. So what if she is of noble birth? He hasn’t been sent to the bitter and cold border areas like Western Guangdong. It’s good if he can come back once a year. The Emperor didn’t put him in his eyes at all. He had already denied the possibility of inheriting the throne even before he started fighting.”

The Eldest Madam nodded with satisfaction: “That’s what I’m talking about before. You can understand it, so Mother feels very relieved.”

When she thought of the Third Prince, Jin Wang, Su Yuyi couldn’t help but think of the scene when Mu Yunyao faced Jin Wang today. “Mother, His Highness Jin Wang is highly regarded by the Emperor and has repeatedly performed miraculous achievements. Even amongst commoners, he is still praised for his good name. If you and Father think he is good, there must be others who also think he is good. In this case, will His Royal Highness choose me?”

“Yuyi, your beauty is the sharpest weapon in your hands. It can help you cut through everything along the way. Just which guy in the world was bad? And who in this world can be more beautiful than you?”

Su Yuyi’s face turned red. She then lowered her head and said, “Mother, I understand. You can rest assured. I will not let you and Father down.”

“Good, my daughter will definitely fulfill this great ambition. Your father, I, and the entire Su family will spare no effort to support you!”

The next day, Mu Yunyao went to pay her respects to the Old Madam. Mu Yunyao initially thought that Su Yuyi, who had her limelight stolen yesterday, would not be able to calm down. Unexpectedly, the other party was more well behaved and even looked at her with a kind of arrogance and disdain.

The Mid-Autumn Festival would be held in three days. The Old Madam had specially called everyone to come over to give them an early warning.

“Yuyi, in another two days, the Mid Autumn Palace’s banquet will be held. Have you finished preparing everything?”

Su Yuyi quickly stepped forward and replied, “ rest assured, Grandmother. Mother is already prepared.”

The Old Madam nodded her head, her expression a little flat, “The Grand Princess’s status is different from the others, and her visions are not comparable to that of ordinary women. The most important thing is that the Emperor has always been respected and very fond of her, so you would rather not be brilliant than displease the Grand Princess.”

Su Yuyi was taken aback for a moment. She disagrees with the Old Madam’s words, but she didn’t dare to retort, “Yes, Granddaughter understands.”

The Old Madame looked at the Second Madam beside her. “You’er health is not good. She should forgo the palace banquet this time around.”

“In reply to Mother, This daughter-in-law also thought the same. You’er’s body was already weak, to begin with, and the weather has also turned cold in the past two days. I was afraid that she provoked the taboo after entering the Palace, so she was not allowed to attend this Palace Banquet.”

The Second Madam’s face was full of smiles. “But I only have one daughter, You’er. If I don’t bring her with me, then I will go to the banquet by myself. So I thought about whether or not I should bring Yunyao along. Yao’er’s personality is pretty clear, her manners are quite thorough, and she also just received a reward from the Emperor. So I think she can also go to the Palace Banquet.”

Mu Yunyao, who was initially standing quietly next to Su Qing, couldn’t help but raise her head in surprise when she heard the Second Madam’s words and facing her smiling eyes.

The Old Madam muttered to herself for a moment, then slightly shook her head: “It’s a Palace Banquet after all. Yunyao just returned to the family, and I want her to accompany me at home. Yao’er, what do you think?”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved as she walked out and greeted the Old Madam with a smile, “Yao’er is naturally willing to accompany Grandmother. In the past, it was Eldest Cousin and the rest who offered you their filial piety, but now you have given me this opportunity.”

“Alright.” the Old Madam nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the Second Madam, “If you feel lonely when you enter the Palace alone, you can bring Yaxian, Yajing, or Yaling with you.”

The Eldest Madam’s face immediately changed: “Mother, Yaxian, and the others are illegitimate daughter after all. Although our Su family has raised them quite well, in terms of status...”

“Everyone has their own destiny. The Grand Princess Yi De is different from the others. In her eyes, she has never cared about the difference between the direct line of descent. It’s hard to say who can match her eyes. One more person will have more opportunities.”

The Eldest Madam could not do anything but nod her head, but her heart was like swallowing a fly. “Yes.”

On the other hand, Su Yaxian, Su Yajian, and the others who stood behind the Eldest Madam were overjoyed. They did not expect themselves to have the chance to enter the Palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet and immediately kowtowed to the Old Madam to express their gratitude.

“Alright, I’ve already given you my instructions. You all can go and get ready.”

“Yes.”

Incurable Chapter 22 Part 2

Liu Qianxiu brought her clothes and various bathing items, and Mu Wan walked into the room with a full embrace. Liu Qianxiu’s house was huge, and the second bedroom was spacious. Unlike Mu Wan’s imagination, this bedroom was well decorated and had a light grey tone like the living room. But unlike the living room, this bedroom looked much more modern.

There is a large bed chandelier and paintings of cloakroom decorations. There is also a sofa projector. The sliding doors and French windows are tightly closed, while the light-coloured curtains are opened. The wooden balcony structure is empty and looks very deserted.

Such a large room was for the guests, but this was the first time anyone lived in it. Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be any spare bath supplies.

Mu Wan went into the bathroom barefoot with her things in her arms.

Mu Wan only briefly rinsed to wash away the dust on her body and tiredness. After she took a bath, she felt that her vision was clear. Wiping the wet hair with a towel, Mu Wan looked around, only to find no hairdryer.

The hair’s tips were still dripping, so Mu Wan took the towel and wiped it again. Her wet hair spread over her shoulders. Mu Wan went to get clothes to get dressed. When her eyes met with the clothes, Mu Wan breathed out the heat from her chest, and her face became hot again.

This dress was indeed worn by Liu Qianxiu because she had seen him wear it before. He wore this long white shirt and a trouser made of cotton and linen. He was very well-tailored, with a thin and tall figure.

She took his clothes in her hand and felt the delicate feeling of cotton thread in her hands. When she picked them up, she carried a little air stream, and Mu Wan smelled a light sandalwood incense.

His clothes are also like his, with the smell of cold and abstinence.

Mu Wan took the long shirt and slipped it in from below like a T-shirt. This long shirt fits Liu Qianxiu well, but Mu Wan wears it generously, hanging it down her thigh. The thin cloth rubbed against the skin. She felt cold and rough. Mu Wan was wrapped in sandalwood, and as if touching something, she became uncontrollably hot.

Mu Wan rolled up her sleeves, feeling that she was too rascal. After patting her face, she hurriedly went out.

The bathroom was much hotter than outside. When Mu Wan went out, the air blew, so her skin tightened. Her ears were clean, and she heard water flowing in the kitchen.

“Liu Qianxiu.” Mu Wan called out, standing in front of the kitchen door.

She took a bath very quickly. Liu Qianxiu had just come from the cat’s room, and the kitchen had not been cleaned yet. He stood in front of the refrigerator, holding two handfuls of vegetables wrapped in white paper. The vegetables showed wet green leaves. After hearing Mu Wan’s call, Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes and looked over.

Mu Wan was wearing an oversized shirt, and she rolled up her sleeves, revealing two white arms. The shirt was very long and covered a little bit above her knee. Her lower legs were straight and slender under the knee. Her eyes were very bright, like distant mists, with a little bit of ink and sand in them. Mu Wan looked at him and said, “I’ll help you.”

While speaking, she came over and picked up the vegetables from Liu Qianxiu’s hand, leaving behind a faint scent of orchid.

The vegetables had just been removed from the refrigerator, so she felt cold. Mu Wan opened the white paper, and the neatly tied little vegetables rolled out. Mu Wan turned on the faucet and put the dishes into the sink.

She is not short in height, but her figure is slim. She looked like a petite person hiding under this oversized shirt. There was plenty of sunshine outside the window, but she couldn’t dry her black hair. Only the sound of the clear water running down in the quiet kitchen.

She moved her shoulders a little, and her hair fell down. After a while, she lifted her wet hand and hair to one side with her dry wrist.

But it was futile, and soon the hair fell again.

She seemed a little anxious, pulling her hand away from the kitchen sink, and then she was about to rub it on her shirt. She seemed to remember something when she wanted to rub it up, and the action stopped abruptly. Mu Wan turned her head, looked at Liu Qianxiu, and asked, “Is there any paper towel? I want to tie my hair up because it keeps falling down. I feel uncomfortable.”

Next to the refrigerator, Liu Qianxiu looked at her calmly, moved a little, closed the refrigerator door, and walked to her side.

“Give me the rubber band.” Liu Qianxiu said.

With a glance up, Mu Wan saw Liu Qianxiu’s face, which was invariable. Her frowning eyebrows gradually unfolded, and she removed the black rubber band on her wrist and placed it in his hand. After putting it down, she was a little uncertain, but she also felt a little excited. She looked at him and asked: “Can you do it?”

She has a lot of hair. It is still thick and black even if it is not completely dry. Liu Qianxiu looked at the tip of her hair and said, “I’ll try.”

Her heartbeat gradually became disordered. Mu Wan’s lips parted, turned her head, and left the entire back to him.

His move was surprisingly neat. Mu Wan put her hands on the side of the sink and felt the cool marble spread into her palm. Liu Qianxiu lifted her hair. During the movement, his fingertips touched her neck, warm and numb, and Mu Wan’s fingers curled slightly.

She was wearing his clothes, which fit the skin. Mu Wan was a little confused, lowered her head, diverted her attention, and asked, “Who did you meet for dinner at night?”

“Family,” he said in a deep voice. Under dark hair, Mu Wan’s neck is delicate and white, with a touch of pink.

“Hmm.” She let out an inexplicable voice.

Her black hair was put into the rubber band as if hooped in some circle, and then it trembled. Mu Wan felt the hair being tied up little by little. She looked at the sun outside the window, and her eyes dimmed gradually. It was the first time the two had met at such an early time.

“Liu Qianxiu.” The sun warmed the air, and Mu Wan’s voice was soft.

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu replied in a low voice.

“Can I have lunch with you in the future?” Mu Wan asked.

The movement of his hand paused slightly. He pulled Mu Wan’s hair out of the last circle of the black rubber band. The action was gentle and clean, without any feeling of pulling.

Mu Wan turned her head, and the two stood face to face, one tall and one short. She looked up at him with bright eyes, waiting for an answer.

He looked back and said it in his low voice.

“Depend on the time.”

“Oh.” It was still Liu Qianxiu’s indifferent expression. The tone that Mu Wan had raised deeply suddenly disappeared.

Her hair was tied up, and her small face was fully exposed when she looked up. All her thoughts were written on her face, and she could not hide them.

Liu Qianxiu’s gaze stayed on the rubber bands behind her hair and added faintly.

“Depend on your time.”

Mu Wan suddenly raised her head. When she raised her head, her breath flowed. She looked at the light-faced man before her, with sandalwood lingering on the tip of her nose. It seemed quiet and far away.

In addition to sandalwood, Mu Wan also smelled another smell. It was the scent of faint smoke that she had never smelled on him.

The author has something to say: 

Mu Wan: Then I’ll be staying tomorrow!

Incurable Chapter 22 Part 1

Mu Wan finished the last shot. She was blown off by artillery fire, rolled down the trench, and fell to the ground. Liu Qianxiu sat in the car and watched her. She tried her best to make herself look better. However, her eyelashes were covered with thick ash when she got up after the fall. She knew that she must be as dirty as a refugee now.

After filming, Mu Wan went to the dressing room to change her clothes. Before seeing Liu Qianxiu, she washed her face in the bathroom. Looking up again, the face in the mirror looked like a freshly peeled egg, delicate and tender. Under her long black eyebrows, she had a pair of crystal-clear eyes, a small nose, and little red lips.

Although she was not wearing makeup, Mu Wan was still beautiful. She expertly wiped the water from her face, turned around, and walked out of the bathroom.

Liu Qianxiu’s car was parked outside the photography base. Today, the weather picked up. It was already 30 degrees at ten o’clock in the morning. Mu Wan seemed to have walked past Huoyan Mountain, sweating and quickly evaporating. When she got to the car, Mu Wan opened the car door and saw Liu Qianxiu in the driver’s seat.

The air conditioning in the car rushed towards her. Her eyes reflected Liu Qianxiu’s figure. Her body was cold, and her heart was also chilly.

Mu Wan’s eyes moved. She got into the car with a smile on her lip and pulled on her seat belt.

She didn’t wipe her face before leaving, and the humid air didn’t feel dry. The air blew when she entered the car, and her skin felt tight. Mu Wan took out the moisturizer and tapped it a few times on her face. The hair around her ears was wet and quietly stuck to her cheek. Mu Wan asked, “Why are you here?”

She previously went to the hospital to wait for him to get off work. It was the first time Liu Qianxiu came to the photography base to look for her. She was so happy because it differed from the past, and something must have changed between them. As for where the changes have occurred, she hasn’t figured it out yet because she is overwhelmed with joy. But she only feels sweet and cold, like eating a strawberry-flavoured popsicle.

“It’s on my way.” Liu Qianxiu replied calmly.

“Oh.” Mu Wan said with a light and long tone. She stretched out her long, slender fingers and spread the white lotion evenly from the tip of her nose to her warm cheeks.

She came to the shooting location at four in the morning and took six hours to shoot. After getting in the car, her tight nerves and body relaxed. After applying the moisturizer, she looks like a stray wild cat who finds shelter to protect herself from the wind and rain. She stretched out her slender body, leaned against the car window, and looked at the still-hot photography base.

“Do you usually shoot like this?” The car started and shook slightly. Liu Qianxiu’s voice seemed to come through the forest with the coolness of dew.

“Yes, many of the supporting roles are like this. In the end, they will die.” Mu Wan retracted her gaze, raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and said to Liu Qianxiu, “I’ve died a million times during the shooting. I have experienced all kinds of death, more than you, a doctor, have ever seen.”

Her tone was cheerful and proud.

When the car stopped at a T-shaped intersection, Liu Qianxiu turned on the left light. He looked at the delight and pride in Mu Wan’s eyes and asked in a deep voice, “Do you like being an actress?”

“That’s not true.” Though momentarily, Mu Wan shook her head and said, “I only have beauty. It’s better to be an actor and make money faster.”

Liu Qianxiu took a deep look at her, and Mu Wan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and he muttered with a guilty conscience: “Today is covered by dust.”

When the red light turned green, Liu Qianxiu started the car. He had an exquisite profile on his side face. The corners of his lips curled, and his expression was noncommittal. He turned the vehicle left onto the main road, looked at the broad, flat road ahead, and said lightly, “Famous is more profitable.”

The roadside trees rapidly retrogressed. The sky was high, and the clouds were white. Mu Wan looked at Liu Qianxiu and slightly licked her lower lip. She retracted her gaze, looked at the main road ahead, and said: “But then, I can’t go to you every day. I want to make money quickly and have a safe and stable life.”

Liu Qianxiu muffled his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. The voice of the woman in the car didn’t seem to fade. He drove the car and didn’t speak anymore.

Mu Wan changed her slippers when she arrived at Liu Qianxiu’s house. She looked at Liu Qianxiu, who was walking towards the bedroom. After hesitating for a while, she opened her mouth.

“Can I take a shower in your house?”

Liu Qianxiu paused, turned his head, and looked at her.

Mu Wan looked back with her quiet eyes. Her heartbeat gradually accelerated, and she explained: “I’ve been filming all morning. I’m covered in dirt, which makes me uncomfortable.”

After speaking, she scratched her hair, which was beautiful black and tied into a ponytail, exposing her white and soft face to the outside. Her face looked cleaner than all over her body.

Liu Qianxiu didn’t speak. He turned from the bedroom direction, walked to a room Mu Wan had never been in before, and opened the door.

“There is a separate bathroom here.” Liu Qianxiu said.

“Thank you.” Seeing that he agreed, Mu Wan hurriedly went inside. Walking inside, she asked, “Do you have anything I could use to take a bath?”

“No,” Liu Qianxiu replied.

Mu Wan: “...”

“I’ll get it.” Two big bedrooms are in the room, with separate toilets and bathrooms. But there is no shared one.

Hearing Liu Qianxiu’s going to take it, Mu Wan’s heart seemed to have been slapped by the wind on the grassland. What he takes should be what he uses. Does this mean that the two are in indirect physical contact?

Mu Wan’s face became hot again.

Liu Qianxiu looked at her reddened cheeks, and his gaze fell on her slender shoulders. She wore a short black T-shirt, revealing half of her white belly, and some dust fell on the short T-shirt.

“Do you need clothes too?” Liu Qianxiu asked.

Mu Wan looked up, her eyes trembling slightly.

Mu Wan’s face seemed to be redder, from the profile of her face to the earlobe. She didn’t know what she was thinking, and her throat tightened slightly.

“Huh?” Mu Wan’s voice rose like a cat’s, and her teeth bit her lower lip. She said, “Do you have women’s clothes here?”

“No.” Liu Qianxiu said, “The clothes I usually wear.”

He usually wears.

“Yes, I do.” Mu Wan said.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 290

~ THE ELDEST MADAM TELLS THE OLD STORY ~ 

These ladies all had their own embroiderer ladies in their residence. Ni Yun Fang’s reputation is too prominent, and it also has the golden signboard awarded by the Emperor. Ni Yun Fang was also never used to doing business with commoners. All those who can buy it from Ni Yun Fang are well-known, and only such clothes are suitable for their status and dignity.

Moreover, the present Mu Yunyao gave at New Years’ was truly breathtaking. Just thinking of wearing such beautiful embroidery on their body caused them to feel comfortable from the inside out.

“If Ni Yun Fang is about to open up in the Capital, then what about Bu Xian Luo? The Emperor was praising the Lotus Fragrance Dew from Bu Xian Luo. When did we have the good fortune to have a taste of this?”

“It is said that very few people can really make it to the sixth floor of Bu Xian Luo. There are quite a several tea masters in the Capital. When Bu Xian Luo opens, perhaps those people will be the first to rush in and experience the unique method of brewing tea.”

For a moment, the people at the banquet surrounded Mu Yunyao and began to talk, leaving the brilliant Su Yuyi behind.

While Mu Yunyao was speaking with the other ladies, she has also used the corner of her eyes to observe the Eldest Madam and Su Yuyi’s expressions. Seeing that their smiling faces were especially gloomy, she couldn’t help but secretly raise her lips.

As the conversation ended and the banquet came to an end, the ladies were secretly praising them in their hearts. They had thought that Su Qing and Mu Yunyao were like the rumors, born in the countryside and wouldn’t be able to show off their skills in public. However, after today’s conversation, their impression of the two of them changed drastically.

Although Su Qing did not say much, she still wore a smile on her face. Her manners and actions were elegant and proper. Occasionally, she would bring out a sentence or two, and she dealt with them with extreme propriety.

Mu Yunyao was even more astonishing. Later on, everyone gathered around her to talk. If she were any an ordinary person, she would have already appeared to be in a fluster, but she was neither dull nor slow. Her words and laughter could take care of everyone’s feelings, and she didn’t let anyone feel like they were being ignored and feel unhappy. Even those, who had not made a sound and quietly waited for the end of the banquet, had attracted by Mu Yunyao’s clear and beautiful voice. The time unknowingly passed while listening to her talking about the clothes in Ni Yun Fang, as well as some small tips on dressing and matching.

The guests left one after another, and Mu Yunyao’s reputation spread along with them.

Su Yuyi followed the Eldest Madam back to her own courtyard after seeing off all the guests. She threw the glass cup on the table onto the ground.

Looking at the fragments on the ground, the Eldest Madam could not help but frown. “What are you doing?”

Su Yuyi’s face filled with a wronged expression, hearing the Eldest Madam’s question, her eyes had already started glistening with tears: “Mother, today you said that you would make a good reputation for myself, but in the end, Mu Yunyao had robbed my limelight!”

The Eldest Madam frowned, feeling extremely unhappy in her heart. “Even mother did not expect that Mu Yunyao would actually be so capable! As expected of someone born in a business, her words and actions are exquisite, making it impossible for others to find any mistakes in her words.”

Su Yuyi cursed in her heart, “It’s Meng Yanran’s fault. She was fine at first, but now she wants to provoke her. Mother, I am unwilling. If I can’t spread my reputation, how can the Grand Princess take a liking to me during the Mid-Autumn Festival’s banquet?”

“Don’t worry. The more time you come, the more stable you will be. Even though Mu Yunyao had stolen the limelight at the end of the banquet, with a little manipulation, you must be the one who is famous in Capital! Don’t worry. Mother has her own arrangements.”

“Mother, I always feel that Mu Yunyao is very evil. You said that she is clearly from the countryside, so why is she knows both embroidery and tea ceremony? Moreover, seeing her attitude towards the ladies and young ladies today, I felt that her move was very detailed and meticulous. Did such a person really grow up in the countryside?”

The Eldest Madam frowned, and there was a flash of contemplation in her eyes. “What you said makes sense, but Mother had secretly sent people to investigate the identities of this mother and daughter. The evidence and experiences matched each other. Also, your grandmother was not an easy person to interact with. If the identity of these two people is not confirmed, she will definitely not bring them back to the Su family.”

“Speaking of which, our Su family isn’t small. How can a perfect lady as Grandmother could lose her daughter?”

“She said that she went out to enjoy the incense. On the way back, she met a robber, and her child was taken away in a hurry. I only heard your father say a few words, but I’m not sure about the situation.” The Eldest Madam sighed to herself, “Speaking of which, our Su family is also basked in Su Qing’s glory.”

“Basked in her glory?”

“Yes. At that time, Grand Princess Yi De protected the Emperor from seizing power. Grand Princess Yi De Mansion was the first to be affected by the chaos in the Imperial Court. The Grand Princess’s husband had died in order to protect the Emperor. Grand Princess Yi De had been able to flee the Capital with her children, but in order to send a message to the Emperor, she had no other choice but to send her daughter out. By the time the Emperor led the army to calm the chaos, the Grand Princess’s child could no longer be found, and the Grand Princess was also injured while sending messages to the Emperor. The Grand Princess’s injury made her impossible to have children in the future. The Emperor felt guilty and searched for this child everywhere after he ascended the throne. It’s a pity that it’s not easy to find someone in such a big world, to the point where there still hasn’t been any news about her.”

“I also heard from your grandmother later on that the Su family didn’t really receive much attention from the Emperor at first. But, they suddenly lost a daughter and tried to find her, which made the Grand Princess feel sympathy for this family. It was also because of this that the Emperor gradually began to view the Su family. Even later, when your grandfather passed away, the Su family already had a solid foundation and has steadily developed to this day. Tell me, isn’t it related to Su Qing in some way?”

“Then it really can be considered as a blessing in disguise. If it wasn’t for Aunt being lost, then who knows when the Su family would be able to rise to the top.” Su Yuyi blinked and said proudly, “Although we borrowed this reason, in the end, it’s still because of father has an ability. How could he possibly sit in such an important position as Minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs and have been stable for so many years?”

“Of course,” The Eldest Madam smiled. But very soon, a hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes. “However, now that the Emperor is old and the princes have all grown up. The situation in the Imperial Court is also unpredictable. It’s really uncertain whether our Su family can still be as prosperous as it is now. So, you and your elder brother need to plan carefully. “

“Mother, Elder Brother is now highly regarded by the Emperor. He can be said to be the only one in the Capital, so you don’t need to worry. As for me, how can I help?”

The Eldest Madam pulled Su Yuyi’s hand and looked at her face lovingly, “Of course, you can be great of help. Yuyi, do you know why Mother gave you such a name?”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 289

~ STIRRED UP THE TORRENT ~ 

Just as Mu Yunyao entered the hall, she heard Su Yuyi reciting a poem, “A set of rich and special makeup, lingering from spring to autumn. The solution turns the heavenly beauty for thousands of years and turns it into a nine-day yellow on earth...”

“Yuyi is not only beautiful, but her knowledge is also unrivaled. Madam Meng, your blessing is really great!”

All the ladies in the hall surrounded Su Yuyi with endless praise. Mu Yunyao slowly walked in without attracting much attention. When Su Qing noticed her, she pulled her hand and said, “Yao’er …”

“Mother, are you hungry?” This banquet seemed to be very sumptuous, but there weren’t many things that could really be eaten. Moreover, if people eat one more mouthful in front of everyone’s eyes, they will be told that they are greedy secretly. My mother’s temperament was always being cautious, so even if she is suffering at this time, she has to bear it.

Su Qing shook her head. With a trace of apprehension in her eyes, she replied, “It’s nothing. I just heard that there seemed to be an important guest just now.” She had already repeated Yao’er’s past life many times in her heart. Naturally, she knew that Jin Wang, who came here today, was Yao’er’s husband from her previous life. Although Yao’er only mentioned a few words vaguely, she clearly remembered the hatred in Yao’er’s eyes when she talked about that person.

Mu Yunyao smiled as she shook her head, “There is indeed such an esteemed guest, but he just left after seeing the ceremony. Mother, you don’t need to worry.”

“That’s good.” Su Qing was relieved to see that she could hide for a day. As a distinguished guest, he could not simply enter Su’s backyard. As long as she deliberately avoided him, she would never repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

However, Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her gaze and didn’t say anything. After experiencing so much in her previous life, she clearly knew in her heart that there were some things that she couldn’t avoid, no matter how much she tried. If escaping was helpful, then she would have buried herself in the dirt in her previous life to live safely to the end. It is hard to get away from the trick, and she had no choice but to be caught up in the torrential currents.

In this life, she would no longer choose to avoid it. Instead, she wanted to become the hand that stirred up the torrent. Although this might be difficult to escape, it was still better than being smashed into pieces by it.

“Little Sister Yunyao, I see that you’ve been sitting on the side the entire time, but don’t you think that the poem that Elder Sister Yuyi is reading is good?” Suddenly, Meng Yanran’s voice rang out, and the entire hall went quiet.

Muyunyao raised her head, and her eyes fell on her. Some people looked indifferent, while some sneered as they waited for the show. The smile on her face did not change. It was still as bright and beautiful as usual, and said, “Didn’t Miss Meng say before that I was born in the countryside, and I couldn’t even recognize a variety of chrysanthemums? And now you asked me about how was Elder Sister Yuyi’s poem? Wasn’t it all on purpose to humiliate me?”

The Eldest Madam’s eyebrows moved, and she felt a little resentful towards Meng Yanran. The reason she held this banquet today was to make Su Yuyi famous. However, she didn’t expect Meng Yanran to appear and directly use Yuyi as a raft to make things difficult for Mu Yunyao. Even if she wanted to revenge her for the slap, she shouldn’t be so disrespectful!

Meng Yanran bit her lower lip, raised her lips, and sneered. Anyway, she had already lost all her face at this time, so she didn’t care about losing it more. She merely couldn’t stand Mu Yunyao, who was clearly a countryside girl, so why was she sitting here with a light in her eyes? “Little Sister Yunyao, what are you thinking? You have such a small heart. The banquet today was set up to welcome you. Elder Sister Yuyi read the poem, and isn’t it normal to ask you about it?”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes flashed with a cold ray of light as she slowly stood up and walked the pot of chrysanthemum and golden hydrangea flower, which was placed in the hall. Her voice was neither slow nor slow, and she filled up Su Yuyi’s unrecited poem, “A set of rich and special makeup, lingering from spring to autumn. The solution turns the heavenly beauty for thousands of years and turns it into a nine-day yellow on earth. Condensed mist, proud and frosty, Dongli is just like Wuling Village. Sometimes drunken eyes secretly look at each other and mistake Tao Qian for Ruan Lang.”

Her voice was clear and beautiful, making her seem even more gentle and beautiful when reciting the poem. In the blink of an eye, everyone’s attention was drawn over to her.

Su Yuyi lowered her eyes and smiled as she stepped forward to hold Mu Yunyao’s hand, “I never thought that Little Sister Yunyao would also know this poem.”

Mu Yunyao smiled slightly: “I studied with my father for a few days and coincidentally read this poem. I quite liked the first few lines of the poem. I always thought that the sentence made people feel that they have a very different mood when reading it. AI also found that the last two lines seemed flat and reduced the momentum of the whole poem. When I told this to my father, he kept laughing, saying that I was still too young to understand and that when I can understand it in the future, e will be distressed.”

That last sentence could be understood as a woman trapped by her feelings, and her drunken eyes mistook others for her own sweetheart. Mu Yunyao was still young, so it was reasonable for her to be unable to understand the feelings. Once she could understand it in the future, she would grow up to be married off. As a father, Mu Cheng naturally couldn’t bear to part with his own daughter and felt deeply distressed.

As the smile on Mu Yunyao’s face faded, she turned to a touch of forbearance and sadness. “I still don’t understand what’s so good about these last two lines. Father must be blessed by the heavens, and he maybe will laugh at me again. Look at me. When I mentioned Father, I can’t stop myself from crying. I am sorry to let the ladies and gentlemen laugh at me.”

Some of the ladies could not help but open their mouths, “Sometimes drunken eyes secretly look at each other and mistake Tao Qian for Ruan Lang, isn’t this the same as thinking about the one whom they love? It was understandable that Miss Mu was still young and could not understand the situation. This Miss Yuyi... Now that I think about it, you should have reached the age of marriage negotiations, right?”

As soon as the words came out, a few chuckles could be heard from the surroundings. Sometimes drunken eyes secretly look at each other and mistake Tao Qian for Ruan Lang. Speaking of which, the Eldest Miss of the Su family had been coming of age. She had been raised in her boudoir for more than a year, yet they haven’t negotiated her marriage. I’m afraid she hates to marry now, right?

Su Yuyi’s face suddenly turned red, and the smile on her face could hardly be maintained.

The Eldest Madam quickly interrupted, “This golden hydrangea flower is so tender and can’t stand the smell of alcohol and tobacco the most. It’s better to move it out. This banquet’s purpose is to welcome Sister Su Qing and Niece Yunyao back to the Su family. In the future, they will often stay in the Capital, so I hope the ladies and young ladies will take good care of them.”

Seeing that the Eldest Madam was unwilling to say too much, the people who came to watch the commotion felt somewhat regretful. However, since the Su family was flourishing right now, no one dared to disrespect them.

“Miss Mu, I’ve heard that the clothes made in Ni Yun Fang make people look like immortals. I wonder when we’ll have the chance to experience it too?”

“In the past two days, I’ve been sending people to look for shops. When the shops have been decorated, we can send embroiderer ladies over from Jingling City. When that time comes, I’ll invite the ladies and young ladies to enjoy the opening ceremony.”

Many people’s eyes could not help but light up when they heard it. “Good, this is really great news. We don’t need to worry about not having clothes to wear in the future?” “However, I have heard that it is difficult to buy clothes from Ni Yun Fang. Sometimes, one might not even be able to buy them within a month or two. Miss Mu must take care of today’s affection and sell us two more pieces.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 288

~ SU QINGWU’S THOUGHTS ~ 

Mu Yunyao and Su You sat on a small stool at the edge of the corridor. Beside them were rows of chrysanthemums with golden stamens and pink petals. The long and narrow petals curled upwards. The layers of petals were beautifully arranged. Against the background, it looks like a pink lotus blooming on the green water, which is extraordinarily delicate and pleasant.

Seeing Mu Yunyao’s gaze fall on it, Su You frowned, “Let’s not talk about those troublesome matters. Some people like to live a peaceful life, but some people like to cause trouble for no reason.”

She couldn’t understand Meng Yanran’s thoughts. If she had a healthy body, she would definitely be able to accompany her parents, appreciate the beautiful scenery, and have a taste of delicious food … What’s wrong with it? Why do you have to look for trouble?

Mu Yunyao chuckled and stretched out a finger to tug at the chrysanthemum leaves. Seeing the pink flowers swaying slightly, she couldn’t help but deepen her smile.

Seeing her expression, Su You pursed her lips and retracted her gaze, “Don’t tell me you don’t know this kind of chrysanthemum? It is called pink peach because the petals bloom like pink peach, and they are famous. If I say, chrysanthemum is a chrysanthemum. What peach flowers, and is if it blooms yellow color not good? It’s boring for no reason. So annoying!”

Looking at her fuming appearance, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but chuckle. “Every people is different, so the flowers are naturally the same. I heard my father say that he once saw a rare chrysanthemum. The flower wheel ring’s size as big as a jade plate, and it was completely red and gold in color. The petals are as red as blood, but the top of the petal suddenly turned golden. The flower blossomed like a phoenix bathed in fire. It was so beautiful that it could not be described in words, and as a result, someone named it — Phoenix Zhenyu.”

Su You blinked, her eyes filled with a surprise: “There really is such a beautiful chrysanthemum. How come I’ve never heard of it before?”

“Perhaps it is because the flower is too beautiful. It doesn’t want people to see it. Haven’t you heard? The famous flower is also intelligent, and some rare treasures can’t be seen to those who are not fated.” Mu Yunyao stretched out her arms to support her cheeks, leaning on the master of the corridor as she watched Su You with a smile.

Su You was regretful that he could not see Phoenix Zhenyu, who Mu Yunyao had mentioned before. However, when she lifted her head to look, she looked at her smiling eyes, and she could not help but be stunned. Her eyes were clear and transparent like a calm lake. At first glance, it seems that she can see the bottom, but it seems to be unfathomable when she explores carefully. The surrounding scenery is reflected in those eyes, but it makes people feel that no matter how beautiful things are, it wouldn’t enter her eyes …

Mu Yunyao blinked her eyes as she came back to her senses. She leaned slightly towards Su You, “Why are you staring at me like that?”

Su You suddenly regained her senses, stood up abruptly, and seemingly frightened. Because her movements were too fast, there was a dull ache in her chest. She suppressed the coughing: “Cough...”

Mu Yunyao stepped forward and held her wrist. Her other hand, pressing down on the acupuncture point on her chest. “You’re too weak to resist the wind. You should obediently stay in your room and don’t run around …”

Su You regained her composure and slapped Mu Yunyao’s hand away, “What weak? Aren’t I going to die soon? Are you from the countryside also looking down on me like they are, or are you afraid that I’ll stick up for you?”

Mu Yunyao’s skin was delicate and tender. Even though Su You’s hand strength wasn’t great, the back of her hand was still red.

Su You fiercely bit her lip, and a glint seemed to flash in her eyes. But in the end, it turned into stubborn and rebellious. She didn’t know why she was suddenly angry, but when Su You looked at Mu Yunyao’s eyes, she felt a great injustice surge up from within her heart for no reason, making her unable to control it at all.

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at her. She was initially a bit angry in her heart. But when she saw her appearance, she couldn’t help but pause for a moment. “What’s the matter with you? Family members know their own affairs. You know very clearly how your body is, even if I don’t tell you, will you be able to live for a hundred years?”

“You … I don’t need you to remind me, I know that I’m going to die, I already knew that. I wasted my good intentions in vain. I hate you!” As Su You spoke, she turned around and left. The maidservants that were sent to a distance quickly surrounded her and asked her what was wrong.

Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to hold her and pulled her down, pressing her down on the stone bench. “What are you crazy about now? Don’t think that just because you’re sick that I dare not deal with you.”

“Miss Biao, our Fifth Miss is weak. Aren’t you going too far with her?” The old maid who had followed Su You over was already dissatisfied with Mu Yunyao, so she spoke directly with a cold tone, her eyes full of caution. Mu Yunyao glanced at her indifferently, then lowered her eyes to look at Su You. “Stop messing around. The wind is blowing now. You should go back and rest. What’s wrong with feeling wronged. Aren’t you just going to die? Many times, death is more comfortable than being alive. Moreover, you have Second Uncle and Second Aunt’s love, and …”

“What’s going on?” A clear voice sounded.

The surrounding female servants hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Eldest Young Master.”

Su Qingwu’s gaze landed on Mu Yunyao and Su You. “Fifth Sister, your health is not good. You should go back and rest, in case Second Aunt worries.”

Su You stood up. Her face was so cold that it was hard to see her expression. It was as if her weakness and stubbornness just now were just an illusion. “Thanks for the reminder, Brother. I’m leaving.” With that, she led her people away without even bowing.

“Fifth Sister is sick all year round. Her personality is a little different than other sisters. You have to endure a little more.”

Mu Yunyao’s lips carried a light smile, and when she heard him, she nodded and bowed, “Thank you for your reminder, Cousin. I’m going to accompany Mother, so I’ll be leaving first.”

“Wait a minute.” Su Qingwu subconsciously stopped her, and when Mu Yunyao turned her head around, he was momentarily at a loss for words, “You … It seems that you understand His Royal Highness Jin Wang very well?” Otherwise, why would she know what he had done all these years?

Mu Yunyao frowned, “Cousin, what do you want to say?”

Su Qingwu looked at the Pink Peach at the side. “The chrysanthemums are full of beautiful things, but not every kind …”

Mu Yunyao suddenly sneered, “Cousin, no need to say anymore, I understand what you mean. The chrysanthemums were all beautiful, but not all of them were famous. Some of the flowers were naturally sought after. They are cultivated in fertile soil, irrigated with dew, given the scorching sun, and cared for day by day. Some were only waiting for the flowers to blossom into gorgeous flowers. Some flowers are born ordinary and unremarkable. They are only suitable for growing in the countryside and eventually scattered into the mud. People are the same. Some are born rich, while others destined to be mediocre and ordinary.”

Su Qingwu frowned. “That’s not what I meant.” He only wanted to remind her that the Third Prince’s identity was something she couldn’t afford.

“Then what does Cousin mean? Seeing His Royal Highness Jin Wang and I spoke, were you worried that I would disrupt Eldest Sister’s future prospects?”

Su Qingwu’s expression suddenly changed, “What does this have to do with Yuyi?”

Mu Yunyao smirked. “Then, you can treat it as me babbling nonsense. It’s getting late. Mother should be worried about me, so I’m leaving first.” After which, she turned around and left.

Su Qingwu stood where she was, staring at Mu Yunyao’s departing back with his deep eyes. Her body was covered in a jade-green water layer. The wind blowing in the corridor, and her skirts fluttered up. There was an illusion that she would take advantage of the wind at any time.

At the Mid Autumn Festival last year, she sat on the branch of the osmanthus tree. She was covered in flowers that looked like the mystique of the laurel. He threw away the osmanthus tree branch and used the excuse of his family to discard the little bit of beauty in his heart. But who would have thought that she would appear again? The seed that was about to wither suddenly broke out, which made him confused and frustrated once more.

Su Qingwu sat beside the stone bench where Mu Yunyao was standing just now and stretched out his hand to pick off a Pink Peach. The petals were delicate and beautiful like a scorching peach blossom, just like Mu Yunyao’s flawless face. He closed his palm and slowly crushed the petals, “The chrysanthemums are full of beautiful flowers, but not every one of them is precious. And some people, despite leaving so many precious treasures behind, just paid attention to one that grows in the countryside …Heh …”
