C273 Gu
News came from Yunmeng Country that Crown Prince Yun Sheng had been crippled, and Yun Yu had been appointed as the Crown Prince.
Yun Xi was extremely happy when she heard the news. Everyone knew about the brother-sister relationship between her and Yun Yu. If she suffered any grievances in Dayong, no matter how hard Yun Yu tried to find a reason, he would interfere.
Now, she had another person to rely on. However, no one came to congratulate her.
"Huatine, come and help me comb my makeup. I'm going to see the Princess later." Yun Xi happily sat in front of the mirror. Now that she had confidence, why would she be afraid of her?
After tidying up, she went to Mu Ruqing's room. Before she entered the room, she saw the doctor walk out.
Yun Xi thought for a moment before walking in, "Is Big Sister doing well recently?"
"Of course. I am here to congratulate Sister." Mu Ruqing did not even bother to lift her eyelids. She laid on the recliner lazily.
"Thank you, sister." Yun Xi slightly moved her body but her mouth could not close. "Elder brother was promoted to Crown Prince. Yun Xi is far away in Dayong and cannot give her blessings. I can only share the joy with big sister and the prince. I hope big sister can let little sister hold a banquet."
"What should we do? Invite those guests?" Only then did Mu Ruqing turn her head to look at her, "If you want to invite the ministers and ministers, anger me for not being able to respond to you. After all, this was the Dayong, the matter of changing the crown prince of Yunmeng Country. It is not up to the people of the Dayong to celebrate."
"Why would little sister make such an unreasonable request?" Yun Xi originally thought about it but later felt that it was inappropriate. It would be better to have a family feast. "Younger sister wants to hold a family feast as a concubine of the Royal Highness. Have a good drink with elder sister and Royal Highness. Speaking of which, I've been married to the Imperial Residence for a long time, and I haven't had a good meal with the Royal Highness and my sister."
" Alright. " Mu Ruqing sat up, "If you want to do it, do it."
Yun Xi did not expect Mu Ruqing to let go so quickly and thought that she would have to go through a lot of trouble, "It is better to choose a day than a day. Can you choose tonight?"
"Yes. It is fine as long as you come and make a decision. I and His Royal Highness can just wait and eat. " Actually as long as Yun Xi did not provoke Mu Ruqing, Mu Ruqing would give her a good face. She was afraid that she would only act up.
Yun Xi happily brought Huatine and left. Now, she was busier than she was. She had to properly arrange the banquet hall in a day's time and also choose the dishes...
"Princess, why are you so busy? The banquet can be set in a few days' time." Huatine saw that she was working hard and could not bear to do so.
"This is the best opportunity." Yun Xi looked at the menu, "Only in this way would Mu Ruqing and the Royal Highness lower their guard. That Gu will be easier to use."
Huatine also started to work with her but was scolded by Yun Xi, "What are you doing here? Didn't you see the Imperial Physician who went down just now? Quickly go and check what illness Mu Ruqing had."
Huatine could only withdraw and return in the evening. She only said that the physician's mouth was tight and that he was just going to treat her pulse. She could not get anything out of it.
Yun Xi added a few big dishes on the menu again.
Mu Ruqing told Yu Longchen about this matter and Yu Longchen's face became bitter. He did not want to see Yun Xi but he was worried about Mu Ruqing going alone. The two of them went to Yun Xi's room together.
Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing made the dinner table and Yun Xi could only sit at the bottom.
When had she ever suffered this kind of anger? As a princess, she could only sit at the bottom seats, but it did not matter. After tonight, Yu Longchen would be hers.
"I would like to propose a toast to elder sister and the prince." She smiled happily, "To thank elder sister and His Royal Highness for taking care of me."
Mu Ruqing was not stingy either. Before she could raise her hand to touch her lips, Yu Longchen snatched her over and drained her in one gulp.
Yun Xi looked at their expressions and actions and did not say anything. After a pause, she pointed to the dishes on the table, "This is the dairy fish. The taste is sour and sweet. The fish meat melts as soon as it enters the mouth. It was made by my small kitchen. It was a dish unique to Yun Meng. Sister, do you like it when you try it? "
Mu Ruqing picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece. Before she could feed it to her mouth, she felt a little nauseous. She frowned and held back her retching.
Yu Longchen saw this and knew that she was unhappy. He picked up her hand and fed the fish meat to himself.
"Is Big Sister not feeling well? Do you want to invite a doctor to take a look?" Yun Xi saw Mu Ruqing's reaction and her own guess. It seemed like it was right. Mu Ruqing was most likely pregnant. The hand that pinched the chopsticks exerted force and pinched the flesh of the palm into a red color.
"It's fine." Mu Ruqing felt a little awkward. This Yu Longchen really did not care if there were outsiders around.
Yu Longchen did not say a word the whole time, nor did he give Yun Xi a look.
Yun Xi looked at the dishes on his table that did not move and became somewhat anxious. That Gu worm naturally could not be placed in the dishes prepared by the big kitchen of the Imperial Residence. So it could only be placed in the dishes cooked by her own small kitchen.
"But these dishes are not to the Royal Highness' liking?" Yun Xi asked with a fawning tone, asking carefully, "A single serving of golden suet and sheepskin silk were specially instructed by me to be cooked by the kitchen. Why don't Your Royal Highness try it?"
Yu Longchen looked at the dishes on the table. The pastries were the color of Mu Ruqing's clothes tonight, so he only took one.
Yun Xi's hand grabbed the clothes under the table, and her heart was in her throat. She was afraid that Yu Longchen would not be able to get the piece of Gu.
Sure enough, she was disappointed. Yu Longchen took the one at the very edge, and the one with the Gu was at the top.
"What is it? Princess Yun really wants to eat it?" Yu Longchen saw that her eyes were about to fall and asked.
Yun Xi suddenly felt that she had lost her composure and retracted her gaze," Your Royal Highness is joking. "
Mu Ruqing, on the other hand, felt bored. The wine could not be drunk. These big meat dishes, seeing them made her want to vomit. Not to mention eating, her stomach was empty until now. She looked at Yu Longchen and pouted.
Yu Longchen immediately felt his heart ache. "Come, try this. Don't be hungry."
Mu Ruqing cooperated very well and started to eat bit by bit. This display of affection made Yun Xi drink a few cups by herself.
She casually glanced at the two of them and turned her head away. It was not annoying to see but not to see.
"Younger sister seems to be very unhappy. But who made you unhappy?" Mu Ruqing looked at Yun Xi's appearance and wanted to laugh. You are the one who organized the family banquet, why is your face still unhappy?
"No, I just suddenly missed home." Yun Xi randomly found an excuse, but in the blink of an eye, she saw Yu Longchen pick up the pastry with the Gu worm.
Mu Ruqing walked to her side and whispered in her ear, "Younger sister should get used to it earlier. I don't know what exactly you want to do, but don't think about provoking me anymore."
Yun Xi's expression changed and she replied, "Older sister, don't be complacent. In the future, it is not certain who will be doted on by the Royal Highness."
"Haha." Mu Ruqing suddenly laughed and said, "I will wait for that day."
Yu Longchen also went down the hall and hugged Mu Ruqing's waist as he walked away.
"Princess." Huatine came up from behind, "His Royal Highness has already eaten."
"Alright." Yun Xi looked at the backs of the two people and narrowed her eyes, "Are you both ready?" After eating, it was time for Yu Longchen to wake up and see himself first. This was much harder than letting the Gu be planted.
"I'm ready. I'm just waiting for the princess. "
"We still have to wait, we can't move now. We can only plot against Mu Ruqing's influence in the Imperial Residence."
