Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 302

~ DIRECT KILLING INTENT ~ 

Mu Yunyao never expected that the Emperor would suddenly mention her. At this time, there was a snack in her mouth, neither swallowing nor vomiting. She looked at the throne with her eyes wide open.

The Emperor casually swept his gaze over the crowd, and when he saw her current appearance, he instantly laughed out loud. “Mu Yunyao, didn’t you hear me call you? Why aren’t you rushing forward to pay your respects? “

Mu Yunyao secretly complained. As soon as the Emperor opened his mouth, everyone’s eyes immediately focused on her. Since everyone was watching, she naturally couldn’t spit out the snack in her mouth, so she had to swallow it. She didn’t know if it was too stressful or nervous, but the small snack directly choked in her throat.

Even the Emperor didn’t expect that a few random words would actually make Mu Yunyao choke. At this moment, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were full of water because of choking. She stared at them with wide eyes as if tears would flow out in the next moment, causing people to feel inexplicably happy.

The Emperor immediately laughed out loud. “Looks like the snacks in my palace are really delicious. I must get someone to reward the chef properly in the imperial kitchen.”

Upon seeing Mu Yunyao, Grand Princess Yi De’s gaze focused for a moment. The young girl in front of her had clear and beautiful eyes. Her fair face had a tinge of red to it, and her entire body exuded a sense of allure. However, she was not as kitsch as ordinary people. On the contrary, she was clear and transparent, like a piece of superior jade, which made people happy and pleasing to see.

“Emperor, don’t make fun of her. You frightened this child. Qu Mama quickly brings a cup of tea over.”

The Emperor reacted as well. His smile was slightly restrained, but he could not stop himself from saying, “That’s right. Don’t let something good come out of your mouth.”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly received the teacup from Qu Mama and knew that she had already lost face. Her attitude instead became natural as she raised the teacup and slowly swallowed the snack in her mouth. After she slightly heaved a sigh of relief, she returned the teacup to Qu Mama and bowed o say thanks, “Mu Yunyao, this humble daughter has seen the Emperor and has seen Grand Princess Yi De, thank you for saving my life. “

A favor for saving her life? This girl knew how to climb up the pole.

“I’ve heard that you’ve obtained some new Cinnabar Osmanthus. It’s rare to see them in the Capital, so why don’t you think of delivering one or two trees to me?”

If ordinary people heard this, they would be definitely frightened. However, Mu Yunyao was sensitive enough to notice that there was no anger on the Emperor’s body, and there was even a faint smile on his face, so she was not nervous at all. “Reporting to Your Majesty, the Cinnabar Osmanthus has been delivered. It’s just that it’s considerably fragile and delicate. If you can’t handle it properly, the flower will wither, so I have no intention of giving it to the Emperor.”

“Everyone who enters the Palace has prepared a gift for me, but why haven’t you done so yet?”

“In reply to the Emperor, you haven’t heard me finish it yet. You already know about the Cinnabar Osmanthus, and you also know the gifts sent by the people in Jingling City. This humble daughter did not take down the three ships’ gifts that the commoners had sent over, only thinking of giving the things on the three ships to the Emperor.”

“Isn’t it point to a name for you?” The Emperor’s expression didn’t show any signs of happiness or anger, and it only caused people to feel that his might was even more majestic.

“To reply the Emperor, under the whole world, all are kings, and within the four seas, all are kings and ministers. The Emperor is the ruler of the Dali Dynasty. This humble daughter was bestowed by the Emperor, so this is the reason she wanted to return the favor to the commoners. In the end, it is also because of you, Your Majesty. Therefore, this humble daughter is ashamed to receive those gifts. Please, the Emperor should accept them.”

“What’s on the ships?”

“In reply to the Emperor, this humble daughter does not know.”

The Emperor was stunned. Looking at Mu Yunyao’s blank and innocent eyes, he couldn’t help but feel that it was a little funny. “Enough, get up. Since you have the intention to give it to me, I will accept it. The ship was filled with food, fruits, and vegetables. It’s just so happened to allow people to distribute them to the impoverished families in the Capital. Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. All families should reunite during the festive season, so we should let them have a hearty meal.”

“Your Majesty, if that’s the case, then this humble daughter will donate another ten thousand silver taels. It’s Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo’s profits this month. Although it’s not much, it can still help some poor citizens.”

“Forget it. You can keep it for yourself. Didn’t you say that you only had a few thousand taels of silver on you before? The expenses in every corner of the Capital are huge, so it’s not wrong to keep a few more taels of silver.”

“Yes, then this humble daughter will keep it for now. When the amount of silver accumulated in the future is too much for the Emperor to spend, I will take it out and present it to you.”

“Presumptuous!” Su Wenyuan quickly stood up and knelt down to salute the Emperor, “Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Yunyao is young, and she spoke without restraint. She was disrespectful before the Emperor and then spoke rudely. Please punish her, Your Majesty…”

Mu Yunyao also kneeled down with a look of fear on her face, but her heart filled with ice-cold killing intent. First, he said that she was disrespectful to the Emperor, then he said that she was rude to the Emperor. He could clearly feel the killing intent emitted by Su Wenyuan. He really wants me to die…

But why was all this happening? Even if she was born of low family background, in the end, Su Qing was still the daughter of the Old Madam and had the blood of the Su family flowing in her body. If she looked down upon, it would be intolerable, and she will not be brought back with her mother or for fear of causing criticism. She would be sent away with some silver, so why did he choose to take them back first and then did everything he could to kill them?

“I haven’t even said anything yet. Minister Su is making a big fuss out of nothing.” The Emperor’s gentle words made Su Wenyuan break out in cold sweat, “Everyone, get up. It’s rare for Mu Yunyao to have the mind to share my worries. If everyone could think like this, I don’t know how much effort to save.”

Mu Yunyao was still kneeling on the ground, her voice filled with stubbornness. “Your Majesty, I originally wanted to help you share your worries and repay for the many rewards you have given me. However, I didn’t think that doing this would be disrespectful in front of the Emperor, and my words would be rude. Please order me to be punished.”

The Emperor was unhappy. He had merely said a few words, yet he was disturbed and lost his interest. “You …”

“Your name is Muyun Yao, isn’t it?” You are an intelligent, astute child with a pleasant disposition. You have a rare sense of life and know how to be grateful and pure. Get up.”

The Emperor paused for a moment, then felt relieved. As the Emperor, how could he argue with a teenage child? It was also Su Wen Yuan’s fault for making such a fuss out of nothing. “My Royal Elder Sister is right. This child’s personality is straightforward. Even in front of me, she is not concealing anything and has a pure heart. It’s rare.”

“Since that’s the case, I’ll give her a reward as well.”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly kowtowed to express her gratitude. The pressure in her heart eased slightly, and she cautiously tried to make a straight impression in front of the Emperor. In this way, if anything happens in the future, she can confidently and boldly say: “As the Emperor, he may not like rigid and outspoken officials, but for a child who dares to speak and dare to do, even if he doesn’t like it, he wouldn’t make a fuss. In this way, she can do a lot of things with no trouble.

~ SU YUYI, THE MOON WORSHIPING FAIRY ~ 

When Su Yuyi stepped out, the entire hall was filled with gasps. It had to be said that for women, appearances were the most invincible weapon. In just a split second, the entire hall fell into absolute silence. Everyone’s eyes focused on Su Yuyi.

“This humble daughter, Su Yuyi, greets the Emperor and the Grand Princess Yi De.”

The Emperor’s gaze fell on Su Wenyuan. “I never thought that the daughter of Minister Su would be so beautiful.”

“This subject is terrifying. On behalf of my daughter, I thank Your Majesty for your praise.” Su Wenyuan immediately stood up.

“Take a seat. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival’s banquet. I said there’s no need to pay attention to so many rules.” The Emperor looked at Su Yuyi with astonishment in his eyes. “What kind of talent do you want to show?”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble daughter is untalented, but her dancing style is quite eye-catching. Thus, I wish to offer a dance of worship to the moon to Your Majesty and the Grand Princess.” Su Yuyi bowed with her slender brows and eyes lowered slightly. Her curling eyelashes were like butterfly wings as they flapped up and down. It was as if a radiance had flashed past. It was unknown just how many people were stunned by her actions…

The Second Madam softly praised her. “Yuyi’s looks are indeed peerless in the world. Yao’er, you have not been back in the Su family for long, so you may not know this, but Yuyi’s dancing skills are unrivaled. I once had the honor of seeing her dancing under the moon. Her posture was graceful, her skirt was fluttering, and she was so elegant that she would fly away into the sky in the blink of an eye. At that time, I already thought that even the fairy in the Moon Palace would not be able to accomplish such a feat.”

Mu Yunyao has a gentle smile in her eyes, and her black and bright eyes are exceptionally pure. The light inside was shallow, like a spring in the mountains, and one could see the sparkling stones and fine sand at the bottom of the spring. “Just hearing Second Aunt say it makes me feel astonished. It is blessed to be able to see it with my own eyes today.”

The Second Madam looked at Mu Yunyao’s clear eyes and couldn’t help but be slightly startled. Could it be that she didn’t hold a shred of jealousy or envy towards Su Yuyi in her heart?

Su Yuyi went down to change her clothes, and a high platform was placed under the steps of the main hall. Looking out from the hallway, and she could see the situation on the stage at glance.

Not long after, Su Yuyi, who had changed clothes, slowly walked over. Just a moment ago, she was already breathtaking enough, but now, she was rendered speechless.

She wore a crescent moon white broad-sleeved fairy dress with long satin ribbons tied around her arms. The wind blew, causing her ribbon and skirt to rise high into the air. Even before the dance began, the people below were already slightly intoxicated.

The sound of the chime suddenly slightly rang out. Su Yuyi, who was initially standing silently, suddenly moved. Her arm lightly raised the long ribbon, and it suddenly unfurled, flowing down from the sky like moonlight. She leaped high into the air, her body light and agile like a swallow, and as her sleeves fluttered, an incomparably beautiful face revealed.

When she went down to change her clothes, she redrew her eyebrows. At this moment, her eyebrows were more and more slender. Her pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be pleasing to the eye, and the tails of her eyes were slightly raised. The crystal tourmaline flowers attached to the corners of the eyes echoed the sweet-scented Osmanthus between her temples. It really corresponded to what the Second Madam had just said: If there was a Chang’e fairy in the Moon Palace, then it should be nothing more than that.

The sound of the chime gradually faded away, and what followed was a slightly hurried pipa. The sound was like the sound of jade pearls dropping down.

On the stage, Su Yuyi suddenly spun around. Her waist was so soft that it could not be gripped tightly, and her eyes filled with affection and eagerness to talk. Many people could no longer find the words to describe Su Yuyi at this time because she was just too beautiful. No matters how gorgeous the terms accumulate on her body, it made her seem frail and pale.

Mu Yunyao slowly blinked her eyes. Her heart also filled with shock: Even if she and Su Yuyi had a sea of hatred between them in her previous life, she still couldn’t belittle her without conscience at this time.

Suddenly, as the sound of the pipa faded, and the sound of chime rang out once more. As Su Yuyi moved, the ribbon tied around her arm slowly scattered. She stood there solemnly as she raised her arms to descend bit by bit. Her palms clasped in front of her chest as she slowly kowtowed towards the bright moon at the horizon…

Only when Su Yuyi walked down the stage and returned to the main hall did everyone regain their senses as praises sounded out.

“Beautiful. Truly beautiful beyond compare.”

“It’s worshiping to the moon. It is as if I have truly seen a fairy just now.”

“I’m afraid that when I mention Miss Su in the future, I’ll praise her as the moon worshiping fairy.”

“She does deserve such a reputation.”

The Second Madam looked at the complacent Eldest Madam, then withdrew her gaze. She can’t help but turn her head to observe Mu Yunyao. She didn’t know why, but she felt that Mu Yunyao was more interesting than Su Yuyi.

Mu Yunyao looked like a delicate and beautiful little girl, but she couldn’t see through her at all. However, if you were to say that her heart was deep, her body was brimming with blazing sun energy, then her smile was expressly sweet that would make anyone who looked at her feel happy at a glance. However, if one were to say that she was innocent and did not have any thoughts, she would not have made it difficult for the Eldest Madam. Not only that, but she had also beaten up Meng Yanran, who had caused her trouble. At that time, the loud slap turned the Eldest Madam’s face black. After being a sister-in-law for so many years, it was the first time that she had seen the Eldest Madam lose her composure like this. Just thinking about it made her feel better.

Mu Yunyao noticed the Second Madam’s gaze and couldn’t help but raise her head to look over. “Second Aunt, what’s the matter?”

“It’s fine. What kind of talent does Yao’er have? Why don’t you go on stage and display your skills?”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh, “All day long, besides embroidery, I made tea. I wasn’t proficient in poetry, nor was I good at zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting. It is okay for me to make tea on the side and show my talents on stage. That’s really rash.”

“The reputation of Bu Xian Luo’s Si Cha is widespread in the Capital. I feel that if you were to make tea, you might be able to amaze the crowds.”

“Second Aunt, please don’t laugh at me.” Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head.

The Second Madam chuckled softly. Seeing that her attitude was firm, she felt pity and did not speak to persuade her anymore.

The Emperor was so satisfied with worshipping the moon dance that Su Yuyi had offered. “Royal Elder Sister, what do you think?”

Grand Princess Yi De looked at Su Yuyi with a smile: “Truly beautiful. Are you the Minister Su’s legitimate daughter?”

“In reply to the Grand Princess, I am indeed Minister Su’s daughter.”

“It’s surprisingly rare to have a beautiful appearance and outstanding dancing skills. I don’t know where your dancing skills are learned from?”

“Reporting to the Grand Princess, this humble daughter once learned how to dance from Madam Luo Ji.”

“Madam Luo Ji... Then it’s no wonder. She was a famous dancer in the Dali Dynasty. It’s a pity that her legs were injured later, so she stopped dancing.” Madam Luo Ji, who was a woman hurt by love, was really a pity…

“Yes. Although Madam Luo Ji has taught this humble daughter, she is unwilling to accept this humble daughter as her disciple. Therefore, this humble daughter has come up own with the idea of worshipping the moon dance. She is making a fool of herself in front of the Emperor and the Grand Princess.”

“To be able to come up with such a brilliant dance, you must be someone with an exquisite mind. Qu Mama, I have a set of gems that mimic the head of an Osmanthus flower in my Palace, which will be rewarded to Su Yuyi later.”

“Yes.”

Mu Yunyao retracted her gaze. Her mood was pretty good, and she couldn’t help but become interested in the exquisite snacks in front of her and have an appetite. Just as she picked up a small snack and placed it in her mouth, she heard the Emperor suddenly speak.

“Speaking of the Su family, it made me think of a person, where is Mu Yunyao?”

Nb. Sorry for the late update ...

Incurable Chapter 23 Part 2

In the City’s West, there are many old buildings in Xiacheng. All of these are big houses with green tiles and white walls. Xiacheng has developed rapidly, but the focus of development has never been in the West. This area has never been destroyed, and many original residents of Xiacheng live there.

The Mu family’s house had a large courtyard, with the main entrance to the main hall and a small garden at the back. Two smaller courtyards were on both sides of the small backyard.

When Mother Wu returned, she met Mu Qing, who wanted to go out. She was wearing a navy blue cheongsam and brought an oil paper umbrella. Shen Cheng, who was next to her, was wearing a long Tsing Yi gown. They were going to participate in a party with the theme of the Republic of China.

Seeing them, Mother Wu lowered her head and called out, “Young Miss. Mr. Shen.”

She was short, so Shen Cheng didn’t see her at first. After hearing her greeting, he nodded politely. But Mu Qing, looking at what she held in her hand, laughed and asked, “Go find Mu Wan, isn’t it?”

After returning from studying abroad, Mu Qing was much more kind. When Mother Wu heard her question, she didn’t dare to say it initially. After all, the Mu family had always kept secrets about Mu Wan. Every time she went to find Mu Wan, she only went when she was idle. Although the Mu family has always known about this, they probably think she can’t make a living with a servant. She has been accustomed to doing things in the Mu family for many years. Thus, they didn’t dismiss her because of this incident.

Mother Wu’s lips moved, but she dared not say anything, so Mu Qing asked, “Did you say what I asked you to tell her?”

“I said it.” Mother Wu didn’t hesitate any more and replied.

“What did she say?” Mu Qing’s eyes were shining. She was tall and long-legged. Although dressed modestly, she looked slightly like she was being forced to ask.

Mother Wu said: “She said she is performing now.”

“Really?” Mu Qing seemed to have a sneer in her throat.

Mother Wu looked up at her, but the latter had already left.

Mu Wan did have a performance, such as today. She got up at five in the morning to shoot the film. Then, Mu Wan had lunch in the studio at noon with the crew. She didn’t finish filming until seven in the evening.

Today, the photography base is covered with a big urn, which is hot and humid. After the shooting, Mu Wan changed her costume and walked out. After going out, she discovered that the entire Xiacheng was covered with a big urn.

The clouds that were overcast yesterday still don’t come down today, and they are gathering more and more. They are all black and pressed against the sky one by one. The thick clouds rolled over and over, unable to penetrate the wind.

On such a day, just standing outside makes the mood irritable. The passing pedestrians have no good expressions and rush to their destination quickly.

Mu Wan was also damp and hot. She raised her hand to get a taxi and called Liu Qianxiu. At 5:30 in the evening, Mu Wan sent a text message to Liu Qianxiu saying that she would be late today, and Liu Qianxiu said that he happened to be working overtime today.

The call soon connected, Liu Qianxiu’s voice was like a bamboo wind, and the cold smell of bamboo split the heat away from her body, so Mu Wan’s eyes bent naturally.

“Are you still in the hospital?”

“No, on the way home.” Liu Qianxiu replied.

“Then I will take a taxi directly to your house.” Mu Wan didn’t bother to stop talking, raised her eyes and saw a taxi, quickly raised her hand, and ran to the vehicle, “I got the taxi. Let’s talk about it later. ~”

Mu Wan hung up the phone and ran to the taxi. She felt like she was swimming in hot water just now. When the car door opened, the cool air penetrated the pores, so Mu Wan’s skin tightened, and she shivered.

“Master, go to Nanfeng Apartment.”

Pressing the meter, the driver looked at the dark clouds and said: “There will be a typhoon tonight, and it will be pouring rain heavily.”

Leaning against the window, Mu Wan’s body gradually cooled down, and she looked up at the sky. When she looked at it now, there were quite a few dark clouds over the city, and the wave clouds looked weird.

“Then I have to trouble you to hurry up. Otherwise, when it rains on the road, I will get soaked. I don’t have an umbrella.”

The Nanfeng Apartment does not allow foreign vehicles to enter the community. The community’s entrance is still some distance from Liu Qianxiu’s house. She’ll have to run over and be drenched if it really rains.

“Alright.” The driver stepped on the accelerator and went away.

After seven o’clock, the rush hour of traffic jams in Xiacheng had passed, so it was considerably smooth. But when the car drove, the wind blew fast, and it started to rain when it was almost at the Nanfeng apartment. The raindrops that preceded the torrential rain were all so big, one by one, they smashed on the soil like coins, and when they arrived at the Nanfeng Apartment, the ground was already half-wet.

Listening to the raindrops hitting the car’s roof, the driver glanced at Mu Wan behind him and said: “You can ask your family to come and pick you up. The raindrops are not small, and it hurts a lot when they hit.”

Mu Wan is beautiful and slim, so the driver can’t help feeling sorry for her.

She’s not going home and can’t trouble anyone to pick her up. Mu Wan didn’t explain this to the driver. After handing him the money for the car, she smiled and said, “I was beaten a lot when I was a child, so I was not afraid of pain.”

After speaking, Mu Wan thanked the driver and closed the door.

The raindrops hit her shoulder as soon as she exited the car. Her face, head, and her strength were indeed extraordinary. Mu Wan raised her hand to cover her from the rain and was about to run into the apartment building where Liu Qianxiu’s house was.

She was thinking about the route. When ready to rush in, she raised her eyes and saw a figure. Her heart beat faster.

Liu Qianxiu holds a black umbrella and stands tall and long at the community’s gate. His skin is cold and white, especially under the black umbrella. On his white face, his brows were light, and his eyes were dark and translucent, like a pool of clear water with no bottom.

He stood there, pure, indifferent, and unearthly.

The author has something to say:
Mu Wan: Lin Wei asked me how old you are.
Liu Qianxiu: you have to see for yourself how old it is.

Incurable Chapter 23 Part 1

“You two are going to have lunch together?” Lin Wei’s face was impeccably shiny and rosy. After speaking, she concluded: “You’re living together now!”

As soon as Mu Wan left Liu Qianxiu’s house, Lin Wei called her to come to her home. She invited a beautician from the beauty salon and did facial treatments for Mu Wan.

Mu Wan was lying on another recliner with a mask on her face. She’s been filming at four in the morning and hasn’t had a rest until now. She is sleepy, but Lin Wei scattered the drowsiness she just gathered together. She glanced at Lin Wei and said, “Let’s wait until I live in his house.”

And even if she sleeps in his house, there may be little progress. While in Wencheng, she stayed in Liu Qianxiu’s room for two nights. Liu Qianxiu was a little interested, but nothing happened. However, Mu Wan didn’t say this sentence because she felt embarrassed.

“You already eat lunch and dinner together, so you’ll sleep at his house sooner or later.” Lin Wei’s face patted. Her tone of voice was bound to win, “Boil the frog in warm water, and just like this, Liu Shangxian will be brought out of the world little by little.”

The sound of the beautician slapping her face was particularly hypnotic. Mu Wan was confused again as she muttered, “They’re all immortal, and they’re not so easy to go down to earth.”

“I think it is because your attack is not aggressive enough.” Lin Wei turned around, looked at Mu Wan sideways, and gave her advice: “Next time you ask to live in his house, you should live together first.”

“I slept under his nose last time. “Mu Wan glanced at Lin Wei, “Moreover, he is a person who pays much attention to personal space. I don’t want to disturb him too much.”

Liu Qianxiu’s home furnishings are too simple. Everything is singular, only enough for his own use. The second bedroom is exquisitely decorated, but there is no trace of anyone living in it, which shows that he never lets anyone stay overnight.

“Why do you think so much about him?” Lin Wei rolled her eyes. She had bathed last time when Mu Wan came to shoot the door and drove her fitness coach away.

“Of course.” Mu Wan grinned, “My man, I want to spoil myself.”

Lin Wei: “...”

After the facial treatments, the beautician left, and the two put their faces in front of the mirror. They looked at their freshly made skin like they were looking in a magic mirror. Mu Wan took a photo for a while and poked her finger at her face. It was smooth and tender.

Lin Wei took her face from the mirror and asked, “Do you want to eat hot pot tonight?”

She just treated her face and can’t eat too heavy flavours.

“I have to go home.” While packing her things, Mu Wan said, “Are you going with me? Mother Wu called and said she made a platoon for me.”

The two’s relationship is very close. Mu Wan would sometimes follow Lin Wei back to her home in Jingcheng, and when Mother Wu made home-cooked dishes in Xiacheng, Mu Wan would call her to eat.

Lin Wei licked her lips and sighed, “Forget it. I’m afraid I won’t be able to return when I go there. I have an appointment with the bartender brother at night.”

Mu Wan: “Were you still with a fitness coach last time?”

Lin Wei: “I liked to eat little wolfdogs recently. You will know that by then, the young will be the capital, and their physical strength will be amazing. How old is Liu Daochang?”

Mu Wan: “...”

I took a taxi from Lin Wei’s home. On the way home, it was getting overcast. Heavy clouds seemed to be falling, depressing and dull, and the air was full of hot dampness.

Mother Wu had already been waiting at home. She had the key to her house, but Mother Wu was still used to knocking on the door first. After confirming that Mu Wan was not home, she would take the key to open the door.

The food was ready, and a table had been set up. The living room had no air conditioning, so Mu Wan moved a floor fan and ate her dinner. Mother Wu came over to cook for her, but only cooked and never ate with her. Mu Wan held the bowl and listened to the fan blowing and Mother Wu’s clichés. She was obviously full of life but always felt something was missing.

Mother Wu once again talked about looking for a boyfriend, which reminded Mu Wan of the last time she had jokingly said that Mu Qing had found someone from the Shen family so she would see someone from the Liu family beat her.

She likes someone from the Liu family now, but they only have the same surname, which has nothing to do with the Liu family. Moreover, she has yet to catch up with others.

Thinking of this, the foods in the bowl are tasteless.

Liu Qianxiu said that he would have dinner with his family. How many people are there in his family? Who are there? What are they doing?

The steak is full of gravy, and Mu Wan knows nothing about Liu Qianxiu.

Mother Wu, who sat beside her, finished nagging her about a boyfriend. Saw Mu Wan seemed to lack interest, so she changed the subject and asked: “Your mother’s tenth death anniversary. Do you want to be with the Mu family?”

Mother Wu, who sat beside her, finished nagging her about a boyfriend. Saw Mu Wan seemed to lack interest, so she changed the subject and asked: “Your mother’s tenth death anniversary. Do you want to be with the Mu family?”

When talking about her mother’s tenth death anniversary, Mu Wan’s thoughts were withdrawn, her expression remained unchanged, and she bit her bones and said: “Not together. They worshipped themselves, and I will worship myself.”

The worship was divided after she moved out of the Mu family’s house. Even before moving out, they have done it separately. After her mother’s fifth death anniversary, the Mu family rarely went to worship themselves again. This time, it was the tenth anniversary of her death, so the Mu family wanted to do it, only thinking of doing something about their faces.

“Last time Mu Qing said that you two made a movie together.” Mother Wu hesitated for a while and began to speak.

Mu Wan looked up at Mother Wu, took a piece of lotus root, and asked, “Well, what’s the matter?”

“She said that you are from a science class and can’t always perform this kind of drama all the time. If there is no performance, you can go to her. “Mother Wu said this and glanced at Mu Wan’s expression.

“She wants me to beg her.” Mu Wan lowered her eyes, chewed the lotus root piece, and smiled softly.

Mu Qing has always been inferior to her. Since she was a child, she has had an inferiority complex in front of her, pretending to be calm and gentle. In fact, she is showing her boyfriend, resource, and villa. Seeing that she ignores her, she takes the initiative. The purpose is to make her bow her head and satisfy her vanity.

She has cultivated the temperament of a lady of a wealthy family. But the inside is still the careful thinking of the commoner. Her mother, Yanmei, had worked hard to cultivate her daughter’s temperament.

Mother Wu is a servant of the Mu family and has always lived with them. After Mu Wan had dinner, she took Mother Wu to the community gate and called a taxi for her. The car sprinted away and soon reached the west of the city.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 300

~ IF YOU DON’T MAKE A NOISE, YOU’LL BE ALL RIGHT NOW. ONE BLAST IS AMAZING! ~ 

The Grand Princess Yi De laughed. “Those martial arts I trained in the past were just fancy martial arts. Firstly, I wanted to look good, and secondly, I wanted to strengthen my body. However, there is no way to compare it with you.”

“Who said that? Royal Father often praises Royal Aunt, so you must help me give a few pointers today.” As he said this, he directed his men to move down the gifts placed in the hall. “Eldest Brother, move aside quickly. This punch and kick have no eyes. If you are injured, it would not be good.”

Anger flashed in the First Prince’s heart as he coldly snorted and retreated to the side.

The Second Prince displayed a set of fist techniques, and his lower body was very stable. He was very energetic, and every punch brought about a thunderous wind sound. His speed was as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning, which made others people be able to tell that he was extraordinary.

After this set of fist techniques was executed, the Second Prince’s face was covered in a sheen of sweat, but his eyes still brightly shone as he looked at Grand Princess Yi De. “Royal Aunt, how about my set of fist techniques?”

“It seems pretty good, but there are some places where the movement of one’s fists is not coherent. I wonder why?”

“Royal Aunt has good eyesight. Speaking of this set of fist techniques, I only saw Fourth Brother fight with this set of fist techniques once. He stayed in the Capital for a short time last time. I wanted to learn it from him, but he quickly returned to Western Guangdong. I could only recall the movements I saw last time, which why there some places are incoherent. “

Hearing the Second Prince mention the Fourth Prince, Ning Junyue, the hall atmosphere suddenly seemed to freeze.

Grand Princess Yi Deturned her head to look at the Emperor with a very stiff complexion. She couldn’t help but sigh to herself. “This Mid-Autumn Festival, did Junyue not return?”

“Why does Royal Elder Sister mention that unfilial son? He is willing to stay in western Guangdong, so let him stay in western Guangdong!” The Emperor angrily said this. For a while, the whole hall fell silent.

“I haven’t seen Junyue for several years because I don’t have time to return to the Capital. That child only comes to the Capital once a year, so I haven’t had the chance to see him for a long time. Coincidentally, this time I will be staying in the Capital for a while, so we might as well call him back. Although there are still a few months until the New Year, time often flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, people who are in a hurry get old.”

The Emperor thought for a moment before nodding. He seemed unwilling to accept this and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to what Royal Elder Sister says.”

The Second Prince’s eyes lit up. “That would be great. When Fourth Brother returns to the Capital, I must properly consult this set of fist techniques style.” After which, he left.

Mu Yunyao sized him up, feeling that his expression was a bit happier than before. Could it be that this Second Prince had a good relationship with Yue Wang?

The Third Prince presented two of his paintings, one for the Emperor and the other for the Grand Princess.

“Not bad. I quite like this gift.”

The Third Prince’s expression was extremely docile and respectful. “As long as Royal Father and Royal Aunt like it.”

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her eyes, and a trace of ridicule flashed extremely quickly in her eyes. This Third Prince had always been like this. No matter what he did, he would always treat everyone with extreme gentleness. But after living with him for a few years, Mu Yunyao was extremely clear that Prince Jin’s gentle and refined temperament and actions were only a form of appearance, a means to help him achieve his goal. In actuality, he was a narrow-minded person who held a deep grudge. If he is a minister, he can make good use of it and do some practical things. But if he was to be the monarch, it might bring about a disaster.

In summary, there was only one word that could describe him — hypocritical!

When the princes had all paid their respects and finished offering gifts, the Emperor waved his hand, no longer allowing the Imperial Concubines and officials to go forward. “Every year, you all deliver similar gifts. Back and forth, there are so many of them. It looks a little boring.”

The officials standing below all understood what the Emperor was planning. “Your Majesty, many women have come to the Palace banquet, especially the young ladies of the various families. If they are allowed to display their talents, then Grand Princess Yi De will be able to give them a few pointers.”

The Emperor nodded. “That’s a good idea. What do you think, Royal Elder Sister?”

The Grand Princess Yi De looked around the hall, seeing those carefully dressed young ladies. Her eyes were very calm, as if there was not a single ripple in them, “The things I learned when I was young are almost forgotten now, so I can't give pointers, but I have heard the names of many talented women in the Capital for a long time. It is quite a rare opportunity to see the names of quite a few talented girls today.”

“Alright.” The Emperor was so happy. “Is there anyone willing to be the first one to come forward?”

Su Yuyi sat beside the Eldest Madam. Her eyes flashed with excitement, “Mother?”

The Eldest Madam slightly shook her head. “Don’t be impatient.”

The Eldest Madam was able to hold her composure, but the others might not. Very soon, someone stood out.

Mu Yunyao and Zhang Wan sat side by side at the back. They watched as the first person on stage was the legitimate daughter of the head of the Imperial Academy, Zhou Yuyin. She sat with Zhang Wan before at the Su family’s banquet, so she is an acquaintance.

Zhang Wan was also surprised: “I didn’t expect that Miss Zhou would be the first one to stand up. Usually, she is pretty quiet.”

Mu Yunyao looked at Zhou Yuyin’s slightly flustered expression and couldn’t help but smile slightly. She was afraid that Miss Zhou hadn’t stood out on her own accord, but she had instead been pushed out by the two women by her side. It was nerve-wracking to do such a small act in the main hall, so her courage was really not small.

“This subject, Zhou Yuyin, whose father is the head of the Imperial Academy, is willing to play a song for the Emperor and the Grand Princess.”

“Yes.”

With the zither brought up, Zhou Yuyin calmed herself and began to play. At first, she was very nervous and even pressed the wrong string. But later, the zither’s sound gradually became smoother, and it was possible to hear that her skill was extraordinary.

After the song ended, Zhou Yuhan’s face became even paler.

Grand Princess Yi De nodded, seemingly extremely satisfied. “Not bad, I recently acquired a few palace flowers, but their color is a bit bright, just perfect for a little girl like you. Qu Mama, don’t forget to reward them to her later.”

The mama behind the Grand Princess Yi De hurriedly nodded. “Yes.”

Zhou Yuyin let out a heavy sigh of relief, kowtowing and returning to her seat.

Mu Yunyao looked at the scene in front of her and admired Grand Princess Yi De even more from the bottom of her heart. No wonder she was able to support the Emperor all the way to ascend the throne.

Just as she was thinking, she saw Su Yuyi stand up.

Mu Yunyao slightly raised the corner of her lips, her eyes filled with anticipation. She had initially thought that this young miss would wait a little longer, but she hadn’t expected that she would be so impatient. Right now, the outside of the Palace was very lively, and she had arranged for a great show to take place.

Su Yuyi, since you want to make a name for yourself, I’ll help you spread your reputation more widely. When the time comes, I hope you won’t cry!

~ PRINCE’S GIFT ~ 

The Emperor was seated in the center of the throne, but he seemed to find it inconvenient to speak to Grand Princess Yi De in this way, so he leaned on the left side: “Royal Elder Sister, look, there are a lot of girls here today, is there someone suit in your eyes?”

Grand Princess Yi De couldn’t help but chuckle. “If I had known earlier that you were tormenting yourself in such a manner, I would have definitely disagreed. Furthermore, whether they fit in or not is not something that can be seen with a single glance. It’s not easy to choose someone with great difficulty, so naturally, I want to be able to see through everything.”

“That’s only natural. In any case, Royal Elder Sister said she would stay in the Palace for a little longer, so there’s no need to rush. We can slowly choose.”

Princess Yide nodded. “All the way up here, all kinds of news can’t stop coming to me. I heard that the child who started Ni Yun Fang to spread embroidery techniques has come to the Capital?”

“Yes, I saw her a few days ago, and her personality was quite interesting. Moreover, the first time I saw her, I discovered that she bore a resemblance to the Royal Elder Sister when she was young.” The Emperor slightly nodded and then directly scanned the hall. “I’ll call people out and let Royal Elder Sister have a look.”

“There’s no need, just because of a single sentence from us, we could put her in a difficult position in the Capital. Let’s start the banquet.” If he called her out at this time, it would really be pushing her to the heart of the struggle, and it might cause some trouble.

“Alright, Xu Li, let the banquet begin.” Calling Mu Yunyao out right now wasn’t really appropriate, but those young misses would inevitably have to show their talents later. When that time came, he will call her out to see Royal Elder Sister, and it’s not conspicuous anymore.

Xu Li quickly bowed, then took two steps forward and shouted, “Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet, open!”

As the voice rang out, the sound of silk bamboo suddenly rang out. Soon after, rows of palace maids came in with a variety of dishes in their hands. They arranged them one by one on the table before quickly retreating.

Mu Yunyao planned to stay outside the Palace, so she didn’t plan on making a name for herself at today’s banquet. Besides, no matter how honorable Grand Princess Yi De was, it’s still hard for her to compare with Su Qing. Thus, she was most likely to be the calmest during today’s banquet.

The dancers in front of her were moving around elegantly, and the music is pleasant to the ear. Besides, the delicacy snacks of vegetables and snacks on the table made her feel exceptionally happy. It was a pity that her mother was not by her side, causing Mu Yunyao to feel seriously regretful.

After the song and dance, the princes paid tribute to the Emperor for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mu Yunyao swept her gaze across the princes and princesses’ seats.

The current Emperor’s heirs considered complete, which there were six sons and six daughters. The First Prince, Ning Junling, was granted the title of Ling Wang, and his mother was Imperial Consort Li, the daughter of the current Prime Minister, Li Qingzhou. The Li family had a distinguished reputation, and by taking advantage of the First Prince, they had gained a lot of support in the Imperial Court. However, this time, the Jiangnan salt tax case had been exposed, causing the Li family and the First Prince to restrain themselves before the Emperor, so their expressions were no longer the arrogant expressions they had before.

The Second Prince, Ning Junyu, was granted the title of Yu Wang. His mother was Imperial Consort Qi, the daughter of Qi Runian, the Marquis of Kingdom Wei. Princess Qi was a military general and had a straightforward character. Influenced by his mother and other people, Yu Wang was bold and unrestrained. He loved military duty on the battlefield and received military merits several times with his maternal ancestors because he went to the border. It made him a rather prestigious figure in the military.

However, he himself didn’t like the restriction in the Palace. Others all wished to stay in the Palace for a few more days, but he had requested the Emperor to open his residence outside. He has no intention to fight for the throne, yet the Emperor unexpectedly liked him and usually indulged him very much.

The Third Prince, Ning Junjin, was granted the title of Jin Wang, and his mother was the maids of the previous Empress. Now, she has been appointed as an Imperial Concubine and has been a favorite for many years. Although he did not have a powerful maternal family supporting him outside, he was the most popular amongst the Imperial Court. His reputation among the people is also hard for other princes to compete with him. Moreover, he has a gentle temperament. In the early years, he followed Princess Yi De for several days, so the Emperor takes a different look at him. Now that the First Prince had been ignored by the Emperor because of the Jiangnan salt tax case, so it was an excellent opportunity for him to go further.

The Fourth Prince, Ning Junyue ...

Mu Yunyao’s gaze slightly trembled. Sitting below the Third Prince were the Fifth and Sixth Princes, who had yet to reach adulthood. There was no trace of Yue Wang at all.

She already knew that Yue Wang was not favored by the Emperor and lived in Western Guangdong all year round, rarely returning to the Capital. However, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, a reunion day for thousands of families. Even if he could not return, a seat should be reserved for him in the main hall.

The First Prince had already stepped forward to offer a congratulatory gift to the Emperor. What he gave was a piece of jade ornaments. The complete jade was more than half a person’s height. It was carved into the shape of osmanthus trees and put on the red sandalwood carving shelf. The light was shining brightly.

The Emperor nodded. “Thank you.”

The First Prince seemed to be very excited and went forward to salute the Emperor respectfully. “It’s good as long as a Royal Father likes it.”

“Royal Father, look at Eldest Brother. He gave such a precious gift to you, which makes my gifts worthless.” The Second Prince, Yu Wang, stepped forward and had his men bring up a screen. “Your son saw that Royal Father has been very fond of screen embroidery these days, so he had his subordinates make one. Could you take a look if it is all right?”

The First Prince stood up and could not help but smile. “Second Brother, the screen embroidery that Royal Father likes is made by Ni Yun Fang, and the embroidery is matchless in this world. Who are you looking for to embroider this screen for?”

“Elder Brother’s words are not right. No matter how good the screen is, it doesn’t contain my filial piety towards Royal Father. Of course, Royal Father will like the screen that I sent up.” As he said that, he took off the cloth covering the screen. On the screen, there was a picture of a galloping horse. Each horse had a vigorous figure. “How about it? Isn’t it very prestigious?”

“Second Brother said that this screen contains your filial piety towards Royal Father. Could it be that the horse on this screen was embroidered by you?”

“Eldest Brother, the jade ornament that you gave Royal Father, could it be that you carved it yourself?” The Second Prince’s words were always straightforward and impolite, “Royal Father, look at Eldest Brother. I gave Royal Father a gift, and he was there to pick and choose. Besides, there are words on this screen that I personally inscribed, so why can’t it contain my filial piety to Royal Father?”

The Emperor’s brows slightly twitched as if he was unhappy about the competition between the brothers in front of him.

By his side, Grand Princess Yi De laughed softly. “I remember Junyu’s calligraphy was quite thorough. But no matter how hard he trained, he merely couldn’t find a way to do it. Is there any improvement in his calligraphy now?”

The Emperor’s expression suddenly relaxed, and a smile could not help but appear on his face. “Don’t say anymore, Royal Elder Sister. He is becoming more and more inferior with his training. Right now, I no longer hold any hope for him. It’s good if the written words can be understood by people.”

“Royal Aunt, you don’t know. I feel a headache just by looking at those words. It would be better to let me train in martial arts. I have long since heard Royal Father say that Royal Aunt also loved martial arts when she was young. Today, I will play some tricks and let Royal Aunt give me a few pointers. What do you say?”

~ FIRST MEETING WITH GRAND PRINCESS YI DE ~ 

Mu Yunyao nodded in return, “Eunuch Giu is too courteous. Are you in charge of receiving the guests here today?”

“Yes, Eunuch Li had already instructed me to pay more attention to Miss Mu. Today, there are so many people that it’s hard to avoid a collision. This servant will lead you to enter the Palace first.”

The Second Madam turned around to talk with other ladies. When she looked back, only to see a young eunuch standing next to Mu Yunyao. She was so surprised in her heart. “Yunyao, this is …”

“This is Eunuch who in charge of receiving guests.”

The Second Madam nodded: “Thank you, I’ll be troubling this Eunuch.”

“Greetings, Madam. Please come with me.” Xiao Gui lowered his head and led the way into the Palace.

The Second Madam looked at Mu Yunyao, feeling somewhat curious about her knowing the Palace’s attendant. Although she had talked with other ladies, she had split her attention to a point or two to observe the situation. After all, the surroundings filled with distinguished officials and nobles. She brought people out, so she can’t watch people accidentally happen, and she heard the words of the young eunuch just now.

Mu Yunyao slightly smiled but didn’t plan on explaining. They followed the young eunuch into the Palace.

Because of the return of the Grand Princess of Yide, the Mid Autumn Palace Banquet was set up in the main hall of Supreme Harmony Hall. There are open spaces in and in front of the hall, which can accommodate officials and family members who come to attend the Palace Banquet. There are two gardens at the back, which can be used for play and enjoy the scenery.

At this moment, there were already quite some people in the hall. Officials were arranged to be on one side, while the female relatives were settled on the other side according to their status.

After the Second Madam had taken her seat, the lady in the next her immediately turned her head and asked, “Lady Qi, why didn’t I see You’er?”

“Madame Zhao is very polite. You’er health is not good, and she fell ill a few days ago. That’s why I didn’t bring her here.”

Mu Yunyao sized up Madame Zhao. If she remembered correctly, the person in front of her was Zhang Wan’s stepmother, the Grand Scholar Zhang Zhong’s successor.

Madam Zhao looked at Su Yaxian and the others with a gentle smile on her face, “It’s surprisingly rare that Yaxian is so outstanding these days. “

Su Yaxian lowered her head in embarrassment: “Thank you for your praise, Madam.”

Madam Zhao praised Su Yajian and Su Yaling once again before shifting her gaze to Mu Yunyao. “I presume this is Miss Mu, whose name is renowned throughout the Capital.”

“Greetings, Madam Zhao.” Mu Yunyao slightly smiled as she greeted her.

“Miss Mu need not be so courteous. She is really stunning and difficult for an ordinary person to reach her.”

Mu Yunyao looked at Zhang Wan, who stood behind Madam Zhao, the corners of her lips curving into a smile. “Miss Zhang’s entire body of poetry and spirituality is the most desirable part. If I could even compare to Sister Zhang, then that would be great.”

Zhang Wan didn’t expect Mu Yunyao to talk to her, and after a moment, she finally reacted. “Little Sister Mu, what are you talked? According to father’s words, I’ve gone silly from reading.”

“Elder Sister Zhang is full of poetic and scholarly spirit. I’ve heard of your talent. If you were a man, you might be able to become a top scholar. In the future, I might have to ask for more advice from you.” Mu Yunyao’s gaze was pure, and her smile was sincere, unknowingly causing others to get closer to her.

Madam Zhao laughed. “I never thought that Wan’er would have such a good relationship with Miss Mu.”

“Elder Sister Zhang Wan has a gentle and quiet personality. When I saw her, I couldn’t help but get closer to her unconsciously, which makes Madam Zhao laugh.” Mu Yunyao sized up Madam Zhao, her thoughts turning slightly. After the death of Zhang Zhong’s wife, only Zhang Wan was left as the legitimate daughter. In order to prevent Zhang Wan from being mistreated by her stepmother, he married his wife’s cousin.

According to the rumors outside, this Madam Zhao treated Zhang Wan like her own daughter, just that the rules were quite strict. Later, Zhang Wan was forced to go back with Su Qingwu and commit suicide. Those strict rules of etiquette and rules often played a role in it.

The last time she saw this Zhang Wan, she had a pretty good impression of her. If she could raise a few points and save a life, it could be considered a good deed. Zhang Wan’s temperament was gentle. Hearing Mu Yunyao’s words, she was a little happy in her heart. “Miss Mu has just come to the Capital. We’ll have to keep in touch often from now on.” As the sound of her voice faded, she suddenly thought of Su Qingwu. A shyness flashed past her eyes, and her cheeks unconsciously flushed red. When she married into the Su family, they will see each other from time to time.

Mu Yunyao’s eyes couldn’t help but darken when she saw her expression. ‘Su Qingwu is a scholar known throughout the Capital. It was no wonder that she could be moved. It was just because of this feeling that she ended up losing her life. It’s not worth it.

Without saying a word, people have arrived gradually. There were a lot of people who came to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet this time. Logically speaking, the main hall should have been a bit noisy, but in reality, it was the exact opposite. With so many people present, the place seemed especially quiet, and there were only occasional whispers rang out, especially near Su Yuyi. The quietness was a little over the top.

Mu Yunyao’s figure sat upright on the spot, her eyes unconsciously looking at Su Yuyi’s body. The Eldest Madam and Su Yuyi were arranged to be at the very front of the group. Su Yuyi was wearing a long dress with flowing flowers and dark clouds. Her dress was flowing with light and was as elegant as the moonlight. She was sitting at the back of the table with a candle flame shining on the side, which was made her face as beautiful as a fairy more and more crystal clear.

*There is a young lady in the north, beautiful and intelligent, unparalleled in the world. A glance at the entire city will be overwhelming, and another glance at the country will overturn it...

Mu Yunyao indifferently withdrew her gaze, the smile on her lips unconsciously deepening.

A voice rang out from outside. “The Emperor has arrived. Grand Princess Yi De has arrived!”

“Greetings, Your Majesty … Greetings, Grand Princess Yi De.”

Mu Yunyao followed everyone’s salutations. From the corner of her eyes, she only saw a corner of a palace dress slowly gliding past in front of them. The phoenix pattern embroidered on the corner of the dress was very lifelike. Just a single glance couldn’t help being amazing.

“All of you, rise.” Due to Grand Princess Yi De’s presence, the Emperor was clearly in an astonishingly good mood. As he spoke, he revealed a rare smile and said, “This day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Grand Princess is returning to the Capital. I am so happy, so I hold a banquet with you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the day and night. You don’t have to be too polite. All of you merely take it as an ordinary feast.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

When the ceremony was over, Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked at Grand Princess Yi De, who sat next to the Emperor. She had heard of the legend of the Grand Princess countless times. In the entire Dali dynasty, no woman didn’t take the Grand Princess as a role model.

The Grand Princess Yi De has a dignified and elegant appearance with faint traces of old age. She was clad in the clothing of the Phoenix Pattern Palace. She also did not have many extravagant adornments on her body. She only used a few golden hairpins to tie up her hair meticulously. A pair of Phoenix eyes are soft and indifferent. It seems that she is absolutely calm after being washed away, but she can thoroughly understand people’s hearts.

Grand Princess Yi De looked down indifferently. Mu Yunyao seemed to be able to hear the gasps of the young ladies within the hall. They were doing their best to appear dignified and gentle. Even their smiles seemed to be calculated, not one bit less.

~ 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.”

~ 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.
