C45 Entering the Palace
Mu Ruqing got off the carriage. This was not the first time she came to the Imperial Palace. It was just that she had only been to the place where Long Zhaoyi used to be. Now, she was going to Yu Longyun's chambers.
Yu Longyun had a garden filled with all kinds of colorful flowers, but it also suited her character. Her chambers were very large. There were four to five ear rooms in one room.
Yu Longyun had been waiting outside the door for a long time and when she saw Mu Ruqing, she grinned.
"Big Sister Qing!" Yu Longyun went up to greet, "You are finally here. There are already pastries prepared in the room."
"Yes." Mu Ruqing was naturally happy.
Yu Longyun's room was decorated with a pink silk curtain and was hung with coral skewers. Many of the decorations were also very exquisite. There was a screen twenty feet away from the door. There was a beautiful landscape painting drawn on it. It was quite unique.
The two of them drank tea and ate pastries. Such a free time did not let down their good mood.
"Sister Qing, do you think..." Yu Longyun said as her face turned red. She did not open her mouth and did not say anything.
"Of course it is very good. I also very much hope that Princess Yun and my brother are together." Mu Ruqing knew her thoughts and said with a naughty smile.
"Really?" Only the two of them, Yu Longyun was also frank, "Although he looks like a big log, he is honest."
"Yes, he will definitely only treat you well in the future." Mu Ruqing had a look of certainty and her eyes were full of blessings. "It is just that big brother might want to join the army."
"Ah, men are ambitious." Yu Longyun was a little disappointed and then grinned and asked, "When will he go and when will he come back?"
"Maybe after I get there. When will he be back? I don't know either. What? Can't bear to part with it? "
"Then he's gone, and it won't take long for me to see him again. I still have a whole year before I can reach my destination..."
"He can't wait to get married?"
"Sister Qing!"
"Since Big Brother wants to be the Prince Consort, he naturally needs to have merits in order to be worthy of the Princess. And Big Brother likes martial arts more, and it's best to join the army and make a name for yourself. "
"Then, do you think he likes me?" Yu Longyun was a little anxious and worried.
"No..." Mu Ruqing deliberately paused for a while, "Of course not. The jade pendant you gave my brother, he used a cotton cloth to wrap it properly."
"Really!" Yu Longyun's eyes were pleasantly surprised as she stood up with a smile on her face.
Mu Ruqing looked at her cute appearance and liked her even more in her heart. She looked at her and nodded.
Yu Longyun sat down and after being happy, she smiled mischievously, "I think Fifth Brother really likes you! How is it?"
Mu Ruqing drank a mouthful of tea and then smiled, "Princess Yun should think about it and let Empress agree."
" You don't have to worry about this. Royal Father's mother loves me so much. She will promise. " Yu Longyun narrowed her eyes, "Don't change the topic. My fifth brother is so handsome and he is a good person. If I were not his sister... Maybe like him too. Well, there's also my brother. Although he's a bit cold, but he pampers me very much, and I'll like him too. And I, Second Big Brother, am also very good to me. I love my little sister very much. Aiya, why is it so difficult to choose!"
" Fortunately, you are their little sister. Otherwise, my brother would be sad." Mu Ruqing said with a face full of heartache, "If brother knew about the princess..."
"Sigh, how can you say these words to him." Yu Longyun played around and then said thoughtfully, "After saying this, I still like that big blockhead the most!"
"Yes, sister-in-law." Mu Ruqing pursed her lips and smiled.
"What a good girl!" Yu Longyun reached out and gently pinched Mu Ruqing's face, "See if I don't tear your mouth apart."
"Haha. Good Princess, I was wrong. Spare me. " Mu Ruqing smiled and begged for mercy.
At this moment in King Chu's Mansion.
"Mistress, Miss Mu has entered the Palace." Changxu was currently pouring tea for Yu Longchen who was painting.
"Longyun has summoned her." Yu Longchen had a smile on his face. "I won't disturb them today. Let them have a good chat with each other."
"Mistress, there is a saying..." Changxu hesitated.
"Speak." Yu Longchen was very focused on drawing. His eyes could not be separated from the drawing paper.
"After what happened in the Li Family Village, she became a different person. She treated me well, but to Mistress..." Changxu's eyes were probing, afraid that he would say something wrong.
Yu Longchen paused for a moment, his eyes floating for a moment, and then he continued to draw seriously.
Changxu saw that Yu Longchen did not have much of a reaction and heaved a sigh of relief. "Why don't we let her have some peace and quiet for a few days. Perhaps in a few days, she will come to terms with it and treat Mistress the same as before."
Yu Longchen's spirit froze. What happened was as simple as you thought. Helplessly, he said, "Changxu, let's not talk about anything else first. Qing is now the Prime Minister's daughter. With this identity, she will not be able to calm down. Since that's the case, why not let her life be filled with my shadow. And... By roping her in, it's the same as roping in the Prime Minister's Estate. Whether it's me or Second Big Brother, it's the best thing ever."
Changxu thought for a moment and didn't say anything. Yu Longchen said affirmatively, "And she is one of my people. How could I let her go so easily?" He stopped writing and carefully picked up the green pill. He asked with satisfaction, "Do you think it looks like it?"
Changxu looked up and saw the green painting depicting Mu Ruqing's original appearance in men's clothing at the beginning. Confused, he was about to speak when Yu Longchen said faintly, "I originally wanted to draw her true appearance, but Eldest Prince's people found out. Instead of causing more trouble, keep it well. "
"Yes." Changxu replied.
The dividing line...
"This servant greets the Princess, Miss Mu." One wet nurse came in front of the two and bowed, "Empress knew that the Princess summoned a guest today and sent this servant to deliver some desserts from the Imperial Kitchens."
"Put it down." Yu Longyun nodded her head and looked proudly at Mu Ruqing, "Eat, eat, look. These desserts are all new products."
Wet nurse was about to withdraw when a big palace girl came up and angrily said, "Reporting to the Princess, Yuan's heart was blinded by pig oil. She was sleepy on the big day and broke the princess's favorite flower repair."
"What!" Yu Longyun was angry and stood up, "I'll go and take a look!"
Mu Ruqing followed behind. In the middle of the garden, there was the most lush flower. The main stem was broken and there were a few colorful flowers in the middle. The flowers were beautiful and did not lose their atmosphere. In the middle, there was a smiling face that looked like a god.
Yu Longyun liked that one the most. It was found by Yu Longtang from deep in the mountains and forests. She was afraid that she would not be able to find another one.
"Princess, please spare me. This servant knows her mistake!" Yuan was also pretty and had already cried till she was in tears.
"You! You!" Yu Longyun pointed at her and was so angry that she could not speak. She kept chopping her feet.
Wet nurse stood up when she saw this and scolded sternly," If this aunt remembers correctly, you can leave the Palace in a few months. Why did you make such a mistake today? Offending the princess, you will be sent to the Punishment Bureau!" Then she looked at Yu Longyun and tried to please her, "Princess, what do you think of this punishment?"
"No! Aunt, I beg you, please don't send this servant to the Punishment Bureau! "Yuan cried even harder as she kowtowed heavily. "Princess, please consider this servant doing my best to serve the princess. Spare this servant this time! Princess, what kind of place is the Punishment Bureau? To servants like them, it is hell. They will be tortured to death!
Yu Longyun hesitated. Although she could not bear to, she was still very angry.
Mu Ruqing thought for a while and whispered in her ear, "Princess Yun, no matter how beautiful a flower is, it is still a dead thing. This is a human life. There are still parents outside the Palace who are looking forward to her return. I also have a lot of flowers. Why not hand her over to me and let her nurture a new breed. If she can't cultivate it, then it won't be too late to punish her. "
Yu Longyun turned her head and thought that Mu Ruqing was right. This was also good. She then asked wet nurse, "Can you punish her by leaving the Palace to cultivate a new breed for me? If she fails, it would not be too late to punish her."
This wet nurse now represents the meaning of the Empress and Yu Longyun naturally had to ask. wet nurse respectfully gave a polite smile and said, "The Princess will handle the people of the Princess. Then this servant will go back to Empress first."
Yu Longyun nodded her head in satisfaction. wet nurse then left.
"Thank you Princess, thank you Princess." Yuan's tone could not hide her joy as she kowtowed and thanked.
"Don't thank me. Thank this young lady. If she did not plead for you, of course, I will not forgive you. Also, you will follow her back to the Prime Minister's Estate today. If you can't cultivate a new breed, what will happen... You know?" Yu Longyun was only scaring her, in case she did not try her best.
" Thank you Miss Mu for saving my life. This servant will definitely not disappoint Princess. " Yuan said gratefully.
"Alright, if you kowtow again, it will be broken. Go and pack your things and follow me later." Mu Ruqing said faintly and then went into the room with Yu Longyun to continue joking.
