Chapter 598 - A Deal Caused by a Set of Head Accessory (1/2)

You Yue’e was very anxious because she could not find a chance to talk to Princess Caifeng.

Feng Yulei’s memorial had been approved by the Emperor early in the morning and she was allowed to bring gifts to the Mo Manor to apologize. It was the madam of the Mo Manor who had treated her. The two did not have much to say and after a few words, You Yue’e left. She just went there to express their att.i.tude. The apology to Mo Xueqiong was equivalent to King Yan’s Manor admitting their fault.

Mo Huawen knew this as well. Fortunately, he did not feel any pity for that daughter. King Yan’s Manor had made the Mo Manor look good and he did not pursue the matter any further. He told Xu Yan to treat Consort Yan and sent her out because Consort Yan was pregnant.

You Yue’e returned to the Mingguo Manor and chatted with You Yuecheng in the study for a while. Then, You Yue’e went to the palace to greet the Empress and followed by her side. She had been looking at Princess Caifeng earlier and could not tell what she felt. There were all sorts of emotions in her heart. Which woman was willing to choose another woman for her husband? But what could she do even if she was unwilling?

Could she just watch as Feng Yulei lose and die in the end?

As she noticed that Princess Caifeng had left to change clothes, You Yue’e could not sit there. She chatted with the Sixth Princess for a while before telling the Empress that she had to go to the bathroom. Then, the Empress nodded with a smile.

Coming out of the main hall, she asked the palace maids at the door and got the place where Princess Caifeng changed her clothes. Then, she went there. Feng Yulei was not here today, which was the biggest loss. You Yue’e had seen it clearly that the other princes were all dressed gorgeously, waiting for Princess Caifeng to pick them.

She had to persuade Princess Caifeng to marry into King Yan’s Manor before she went back to the hall. Even if she failed, she had to make her have a good impression on King Yan. Even if she could not make Princess Caifeng agree to marry into King Yan’s Manor, at least she had to get Princess Caifeng to mention King Yan in front of the Emperor. Given the Emperor’s character of caring about face, perhaps he would release King Yan.

“What kind of clothes are these? They look so ugly. I don’t want to wear them. I want to wear the clothes I brought here. The one that Mother made for me with peac.o.c.k feathers.” Before You Yue’e came to the door, she heard Princess Caifeng’s angry voice from the room. There seemed to be a sound of pus.h.i.+ng and hitting something.

“Princess, don’t be angry. The Empress said that when you decide to marry someone, you should give the clothes to him and ask him to embroider golden phoenix patterns on it for you to wear as a wedding dress.” A palace maid’s voice sounded anxious as she tried to persuade the unruly princess.

“A wedding dress, a wedding dress. I’m not married yet! I’m the prettiest in that set of clothes. I must stun him and let him know that I’m the most beautiful.” Princess Caifeng crinkled her nose. She was as proud as a peac.o.c.k. She wanted Feng Yuran to like her and take a fancy to her the moment he saw her.

“Princess, the wedding dress can only be worn on your wedding day. If you wear it now, what will you wear when you get married in the future!” The palace maid persuaded her patiently while unfolding the clothes in her hands. The dress was made of brocade, and was beautiful. The pink color was in accordance with the princess’s skin. In fact, it was very suitable for her. However, the princess had a bad temper, and would not listen to her.

“Then that set of floating clothes. That set is also beautiful.”

“Your Highness, you can’t wear it. Her Majesty said that it can only be worn at certain times.”

“I can’t wear that or this. Will it be the same to wear it now as on the wedding day? And I will only wear it once. When I give the wedding dress to him in the future, he will ask someone to embroider the pattern of gold phoenix. In fact, it will be different from what it is now. So even if I wear it now, others won’t think it’s the same set.” Princess Caifeng didn’t agree, so she shook off the clothes in the palace maid’s hands and asked for the set she wanted.

The palace maid was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. It could not convince the princess. The hall was already prepared and was waiting for Princess Caifeng to take her seat. It would be impolite if Princess Caifeng refused to wear right now. The Southern Barbarian Lands would be shamed then. The Crown Prince would not spare her in that case.

“Let me do it!” The doors of the palace were pushed open suddenly. A gentle and elegant woman entered. The palace maid from the Southern Barbarian Lands was stunned. She did not know who the woman was. She reached out to pull Princess Caifeng’s sleeves, signaling that someone was coming. Furthermore, the person was from the Qin Kingdom. The madams and ladies who were present at the banquet today were all n.o.bility. The palace maid did not dare to offend her and bowed to her.

Princess Caifeng was making a fuss and was in a bad mood when she saw someone coming to destroy her plan. She harrumphed and sized her up from above. “Who are you? What are you doing here?” She asked with an unfriendly expression.

“Mother asked me to come over as you have waited here for a long time. If you need anything, you can tell me, Your Highness.” You Yue’e looked at Princess Caifeng’s face and relaxed slightly. Princess Caifeng was indeed very beautiful, with a jade-like face and red lips. She was very attractive, but she was still a little inferior to Ling Fengyan.

In the past, King Yan could give up Ling Fengyan without hesitation. As such, she would not be able to win his heart. Even if she were to marry into the manor, she would not be able to steal his affections for her.

“You… are a princess?” Princess Caifeng hid the pride in her eyes and looked up and down at You Yue’e again. Her eldest brother was going to marry a princess this time. The woman in front of her was about the same age as her, so she put on a much more friendly look on her face. Her eldest brother’s wife was the crown princess, and might be the Empress in the future. Her mother was still in the royal palace of the Southern Barbarian Lands, so she naturally did not dare to offend the princess who was going to marry into the Southern Barbarian Lands.

“I am not the Princess. I am Consort Yan.” You Yue’e smiled lightly. She picked up the clothes that Caifeng Princess had thrown on the ground and shook off the dust on them. She looked at it carefully and said, “Your Highness, the clothes are beautiful. It just needs some matching accessories. If they are matched with suitable accessories, Your Highness will stun everyone.”

She flattered her in a very natural way, remaining calm.
