C229 (1/2)
Yang Zizhi carried the Marquis of Loyalty, and still relied on his status as the future National Uncle to bring people to buy and snatch, and bought a lot of old food and even new food from the common folk. Of course, the price was the extremely low price of old food, causing the citizens of the capital to complain, causing the world to become chaotic?
The wheel streaked across the snow, leaving behind a few disorderly and orderly traces as it headed in the direction it went …
Mu Rousang woke up before dawn and slept soundly with the warm pyrethrum in the carriage again.
”Young Mistress, we've arrived at the palace gates.”
Aunt Liu shook her awake and said in a low voice: ”From now on, Young Mistress will have to walk to the Crown Princess's Deqing Palace.”
Mu Rousang laughed and replied: ”Aunt, don't worry, although I am not as diligent as those little girls, I still have the ability to move around.”
Mu Rousang was only at the sixth stage of Ang, so she had to walk to Deqing Palace with Su Waner, a seventh stage genius, hand in hand for more than two hours.
After getting off the carriage, Guo Gonggong donned a thick cloak made from grey rat skin and waited at the entrance of the palace. When he saw the three people get off the carriage, he immediately went up and smiled: ”Madam Rong Lu, Yangan, Yang You, the Crown Princess had already arranged for you to meet them yesterday night, and had asked me to welcome you with respect.”
Guo Gonggong was naturally not as strong as his, but he called himself a servant in front of her.
The Aunt Liu supported Mu Rousang as they walked behind the Madam Hou, and right in front of Su Waner, was the center position.
She walked into the palace step by step, her heart filled with curiosity, agitation, and apprehension.
White jade bricks, red walls, bright yellow glazed tiles, and palace maids and eunuchs, all of whom walked quickly along the base of the wall, their heads lowered and their feet light.
”Young Mistress, don't be afraid. The masters of the various palaces are extremely friendly, and they are also a kind person.” Aunt Liu supported her as she walked. Her voice was not loud, but it just happened to reach the ears of the three people around her.
The Madam Hou sneered in his heart. Su Waner looked at the green figure in front of him with an unreadable gaze, but continued to smile without saying a word.
After the Guo Gonggong heard this, he laughed: ”Liu Wanshi is right. Although the princess consort looks a little more dignified, she treats the servants extremely well.
Mu Rousang's gaze moved, what does that mean? Yang Juan Er might not be the young child of the past anymore in this palace, but she was secretly mustering her strength. No matter how hard she tried to hide or conceal herself, a calamity would always befall her.
The Deqing Palace was different from the manors outside. The palace maids shuttled back and forth, but all of them were holding their breath, quietly working with their heads lowered, not daring to overstep.
The Aunt Liu held her hands tight. Mu Rousang slightly moved her brows, then shook her head at her, signalling her not to be too nervous.
It looks like Yang Juan Er had really changed a lot!
The incoming Aunt Liu was different from the time she was in the palace. She was more strict and calm, with a face as hard as Aunt Liu's.
”Madam, you're finally here! ”We, the princess consort, have been shouting so much this morning. We have already sent our eunuch out to look for a few times.”
Aunt Liu did not seem to recognize Aunt Liu. Upon seeing her expression, she became agitated and looked around, but did not say anything.
”Aunt Liu, is my daughter, oh, is the princess consort alright?”
Madam Hou tightly grabbed onto Aunt Liu's arm and asked anxiously.
Mu Rousang looked at Aunt Liu, feeling that there were hidden meanings behind her words. However, it was clear that Aunt Liu did not plan to continue.
Aunt Liu replied, ”The princess consort is fine.”
Then, he went over to Mu Rousang and Su Waner to greet them, and smiled: ”Yangan and Yang Qi are both good people, the princess consort is already waiting inside, please follow this servant to the hall.”
Mu Rousang noticed that the Aunt Liu's clothes were not as similar to the Aunt Liu's as the other palace maids'.
Aunt Liu seemed to have noticed her doubt, and when no one was looking, she quietly said: ”Aunt Liu and servant are the same servants.”
The Aunt Liu led the group to the hall, and said softly as they walked: ”The Crown Prince stayed in Deqing Palace last night, and upon learning that Madam would be coming, he ordered the royal kitchen to prepare some delicious pastries. He also ordered the three of you to accompany the Crown Princess to eat lunch today.”
He entered the hall, passed through a large screen of peonies and riches, and then followed the Aunt Liu to the right into the Eastern Warm Pavilion.
The white jade floor was warm and exquisite, the Golden Crane's mouth was filled with curls of fragrant mist, and a mane of silk was gently dragging on the white jade floor. On it were silver threads outlining a rich peony, and Yang Juan Er was currently dressed in a golden phoenix silk robe with five colored gems embedded into her tail.
”Mother!” Yang Juan Er's eyes flashed with joy, just as she was about to stand up and pounce towards Madam Hou, an aunt by her side coughed lightly, then gently held her down, signalling her to pay attention to her side.
”Madam Jung Lu, hurry and greet the crown prince's consort.” Aunt Liu reminded him.
