Chapter 40 Birthday of the Crown Princess 3
"His Royal Highness King Wu is here." While everyone was still chatting, a sharp and loud announcement sounded at the door of the banquet hall. It was nothing, but the people who came made everyone present feel unexpected.
Everyone present knows that although His Royal Highness the King of Wu and His Royal Highness the Prince are brothers, they are really at peace in the court. His Royal Highness the King of Wu will be against His Royal Highness everywhere. In private, there is usually no His Royal Highness the King of Wu where there is His Royal Highness, and the other way is the same.
So it really shocked everyone that the King of Wu will appear in this place today. I don't know what the purpose of the King of Wu will come this time and what kind of things will happen. Everyone can't help but feel like watching the play.
Mu Yunlei, dressed in a dark blue gown with the same color belt and waist, walked steadily into the banquet hall.
"See His Royal Highness the King of Wu."
After Mu Yunlei did something in his position, he glanced at the people in the hall and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness King Wu."
"Everyone is casual. You don't have to feel constrained because I'm here." Mu Yunlei looks like a master.
Hearing this, the people in the hall were a little ashamed. They were thinking about whether it would affect themselves if they made trouble for a while, and they would have some regret. However, who dares to refuse the invitation of His Royal Highness?
After responding, although they will also talk about some irrelevant topics, they no longer dare to be as casual as before. Although it is right to let them be casual, who dares to be casual at this time? Everyone knows that King Wu's temper is famously bursting. If someone accidentally annoys him, the consequences will be very serious.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Wu has arrived at the banquet hall." On the way to the king's banquet, a guard approached Mu Yunting and said.
Hearing the words, Mu Yunting frowned in an instant, and his body unconsciously exuded a gloomy atmosphere, and his footsteps still did not stop.
He really didn't expect Mu Yunlei to come, which really surprised him, but Mu Yunting was more concerned about the purpose of Mu Yunlei's coming. He has been preparing for today's banquet for a while, so he can't let him ruin it.
"I know, where is the Crown Princess now? But did you go to the banquet hall?
"The Crown Princess is still waiting for His Royal Highness."
Hearing this, Mu Yunting nodded and unconsciously accelerated his pace.
Crimson stood in front of Qiyunyuan and said impatiently to the palace people behind him, "Go and knock on this broken door for me."
"Yes." After a maid answered, she came forward and was afraid of hitting the door of the courtyard.
Some time ago, this courtyard door suffered two difficulties, and now it is fortunate that this door can still be used. When the maid of honor patted the door so hard, the whole courtyard door rattled.
Xie Zhiruo and Yuexi in the medicine seedling planting room were shocked after hearing such a loud knock on the door, and their subconscious reaction was fear. It's not that they are afraid that some terrible people will come, but that the people outside the yard will break their finally decent door again, so they really don't have a courtyard door.
"In the past, let's go out quickly to see who it is. If that person knocks like this, we will really be busy a few days ago!" Xie Zhiruo quickly put down the medicine seedlings in her hand and stood up to pull Yuexi to the yard.
As soon as Xie Zhiruo came forward and opened the courtyard door, she saw the maid with a blush on her face full of impatience and knocking on the door.
When the maid saw Xie Zhiruo open the door, she said angrily and viciously, "Why is it so long? Are you deaf or something? There are really no rules!" After saying that, the maid of honor retreated back behind the crimson, completely no longer the fierce appearance just now.
Crimson looked at Xie Zhiruo, who was covered with a little dirt on her face and body, and then said disdainfully, "There is not even a doorman. I really don't know why you wanted to climb up the bed of His Royal Highness at all means to marry His Royal Highness! Fortunately, our princess is kind, otherwise you can still stand here intact? What a wolf-hearted woman. I don't know how to thank the Empress, but I still want to do everything I can to seduce the prince and destroy the relationship between the Empress and the prince! Do you know that you are not even Your Highness's warm bed? Wake up as soon as possible!"
Crimson may have said too fast. For a moment, she couldn't breathe. After taking a breath, she continued to say, "I think you have heard that today is the birthday of the Crown Princess. The Empress asked me to let you go to the bustle, but although the Empress said so, it's your own business whether to go or not. But looking at you like this, I still advise you not to be ashamed.
After saying that, Fei Hong stared at Xie Zhiruo and then turned around and left.
Xie Zhiruo kept silent when she heard what Fei Hong said to her. She didn't take anything else in her heart, but she heard clearly that she could go to the banquet. To be able to the banquet means that she could have a chance to see Mu Yunting. She really misses him and wants to see her. Look at him.
"Miss, don't pay attention to their words. Yuexi knows that Miss is not like that..." Yuexi was afraid that Xie Zhiruo was sad and relieved after listening to what Fei Hong said. Although she used to think that some of Xie Zhiruo's previous behaviors were not good, she felt that she was not a good person. But since she came to serve Xie Zhiruo, she found that Xie Zhiruo was not what people outside said at all.
Xie Zhiruo didn't feel anything about the words that irritated her. After all, she was already on the sedan chair when she woke up. She didn't know what others said before, so she was like a bystander about this matter, and it was not painful to say. Of. The only feeling is that 'she' is also a stupid woman.
Xie Zhiruo looked down at her rather embarrassed appearance and turned back to Yuexi and said, "Do we have more clothes and skirts in our room in Yuexi? I want to go to the party for a while.
"Miss..." Yuexi frowned in some embarrassment. Xie Zhiruo's dowry was not sure where it was put except for some cash. The clothes they were wearing were all in Zhaoyang Palace, and Xie Zhiruo didn't have a formal dress at all.
Seeing Yuexi's embarrassed appearance, Xie Zhiruo knew the answer to the question. The reason why she wanted to dress better was that she didn't want to lose face to Mu Yunting. From the outside, she was also the concubine of a prince of a country and could not be so shabby.
"To the way, I haven't prepared a gift for the princess in the past. What do you think I should give the princess? The princess has helped me so much. I should show it well. From the beginning, Shen Yuhuan helped her. She was not a person who didn't repay her kindness as she said. She kept in mind the people who helped her.
"Miss, the princess doesn't lack anything. What can you give her?"
Hearing Yuexi's words, Xie Zhiruo laughed at herself. Yes, she is the crown princess, the crown princess who holds in the palm of her hand... There is nothing missing..." No matter what she wants, Mu Yunting will do anything to find it for her... And she can only stand in a world that he despises and hates. No matter how hard she tries, she can't get out...
"If you want to go, you'd better clean up quickly. Miss doesn't want to appear at the banquet like this, does she?"
"Ah, yes, I don't know when it will start. I'll get ready soon." Even if she can't stand in front of him and look at him well, even if she can only stand in the dark and secretly look at him to relieve her miss for Ye Yan these days, then she will feel satisfied. If she hadn't deliberately spent a lot of her thoughts and energy on studying medical books and cultivating medicine seedlings during this period, she wouldn't I know what else she will do to see Ye Yan.
"Miss..." Looking at the back of Xie Zhiruo pretending to leave briskly, Yuexi murmured with heartache.
"Yuexi, how do you think I took a rare medicine seedling to give to the Crown Princess?" Xie Zhiruo, who returned to the room and wiped her face with a brocade handkerchief, asked Yuexi, who was looking for her dress in front of the wardrobe.
"Drug seedlings..." Yuexi wanted to say what the Crown Princess wanted those medicine seedlings for, but she was afraid that it would hurt Xie Zhiruo's heart, so she didn't say anything.
"Well, what do you think of the medicinal seedlings I planted for the princess? The day before yesterday, I saw a medicine seedling in our house that can help people eliminate fatigue and improve sleep. The book records that this kind of medicine seedling grows very fast. As long as it grows well in less than two months, it can play its role. Xie Zhiruo will unconsciously smile from her heart when she talks about the medicinal seedlings she planted. It can be seen that she is really happy.
"Yes, this kind of medicine is good. I believe that the Crown Princess will like it."
"Ye, that's the decision." Xie Zhiruo also nodded happily.
"Miss, how about wearing this lavender dress to the banquet of the princess?"
Xie Zhiruo looked back at the purple dress in Yue Xi's hand, tilted her head slightly and nodded after thinking about it. She has never been to a big party. In the past, she spent a lot of time with Ye Yan and her parents, and almost never went to many occasions. Because they are afraid that they will get sick, and they are afraid that if they get sick, the first aid will not be in time.
"Let Yuexi change the dress for the lady." Yuexi came forward and said.
"Ye-huh."
After these days of recuperation and recuperation, Xie Zhiruo looks much better, and her face is not as pale as before. Yuexi raised Xie Zhiruo's long hair hanging down to her waist, combed a knot behind her head, and the rest of her hair naturally fell on her shoulders.
Xie Zhiruo picked up the only hairpin with silver edges on the dresser and put it into her temples.
Light willow eyebrows, big watery eyes, exquisite nose, slightly chubby mouth, and delicate skin that can be broken. The lavender dress just wrapped the thin body just right, and the slender waist was tied up by a moon-white belt, which was even more clenched.
Xie Zhiruo's body is not short, and he is almost 1.63 meters tall. In addition, he is relatively thin and looks very slender.
Purple gives people a very elegant feeling, but it also makes people feel a little difficult to approach, but this lavender dress makes Xie Zhiruo look very elegant, as beautiful as the dusty fairy.
Yuexi looked at Xie Zhiruo standing in front of her and praised with great exclamation, "Miss is so beautiful! Yuexi is no worse than the Crown Princess..." Her young lady is very beautiful to dress up a little!
"The princess is the princess, and I am me. We are two different people, so we can't compare, can we? Although in the eyes of many people, my identity is not as noble as the crown princess, I also have my happiness in my life. Some of my happiness is that she can't feel, and her happiness is also what I can't feel..." Speaking of Xie Zhiruo's voice gradually became smaller. Yes, the kind of happiness in the palm of Mu Yunting's hand, she is now It's something she can't understand... Maybe it's something she will never realize.
"That's right, that's right. Yuexi was very attentive and happy when she looked at the young lady when you planted medicinal seedlings and studied medical books. Miss must be very happy at this time..." Although Yuexi didn't know anything about love, she could see that her young lady liked Prince Mu Yunting very much. She didn't know if she liked it. What does it feel like to have a person and love? But she knew that Xie Zhiruo frowned a lot whenever she thought of Mu Yunting, and there were few really happy smiles.
"Well, Yuexi, could you please help me bring me the pot of medicine seedlings with the red ribbon on the basin?"
"Good moon, I'll bring it for the young lady."
Xie Zhiruo put the medicine seedlings to be given to Shen Yuhuaon in a pot that was much smaller than before and wrapped them in silk cloth.
"Yue Xi, I'll go there and wait for me to come back in the yard." Xie Zhiruo stood in front of the courtyard and said to Yue Xi.
Yuexi frowned and looked at Xie Zhiruo with a smile on her face, and said worriedly, "Isn't Miss really going with Yuexi? But there are a lot of people in this place. Yuexi is afraid that those people will bump into the young lady... Miss, let Yuexi follow you and serve you. She is really worried that Xie Zhiruo doesn't follow anyone.
"Yuexi, I'm not a child anymore. I will take good care of myself. Don't worry, I will come back intact." Looking at Yuexi and Xie Zhiruo, she remembered her former best friend. She was also so worried about herself at that time, afraid that something would happen to her.
The reason why she doesn't want to take Yuexi with her is that she is afraid that she will accidentally cause something. If she is punished, she will be punished alone. Don't involve the people around her. That's what happened the night when she went to pour Yexiang. She could bear to suffer from punishment, because it was all for her Ye Yan.
But if the people around her are affected by her, she will have a bad conscience and she will feel a sense of guilt, so she would rather leave Yuexi safely in the yard than affect her because of herself.
"Ye, Yue Xi got it." However, Yuexi could only nod.
After leaving the yard, Xie Zhiruo took the gift to be given and walked to the place where the banquet was located.
At this time, Shen Yujuan looked at the hourglass on the other side and began to feel a little anxious, but her face was still as soft as usual and asked the palace man beside him, "Do you know where the prince is going?" Just now, someone in the palace said that Mu Yunting did not appear in the banquet hall, indicating that he did not entertain guests, but he was not here. This situation has not happened over the years. While Shen Yuyan was puzzled, she felt more uneasy in her heart.
"Back to the crown princess, I have sent someone to the palace to find His Royal Highness. I think His Royal Highness will be back soon."
"Are all the guests here?"
"Mother, the guests are basically here, and His Royal Highness the King of Wu is also here."
"What? Is His Royal Highness the King of Wu also here? After listening to the palace man's reply, Shen Yuhuaan asked in surprise. But as soon as I finished speaking, I felt that I was in a bad state. After slowing down, I asked, "When did you say Your Highness the King of Wu came here?" Why didn't anyone inform me? What if there was any neglect at that time?
"Mother, it hasn't been long before His Royal Highness the King of Wu has just arrived, and the people who have just come to tell me."
"Ye-huh, I know. It's almost time for me. I think His Royal Highness is also on the way to the banquet. We won't wait. Let's go to the banquet hall first."
The reason why Shen Yujuan lost her composure and wanted to go to the banquet hall was that she was afraid that Wu Wang Mu Yunlei would make something happen at the banquet. At that time, she not only fell on the face of Prince Mu Yunting, but also lost her face.
What's more, everyone knows that Prince Mu Yunting can't help but lose his temper as soon as he sees Wu Wang Mu Yunlei. If the two fight at the banquet, the consequences will be really unimaginable.
"Mother, Your Highness is back."
Just as Shen Yuyu just wanted to get up and leave, the palace man said that Mu Yunting came back.
Shen Yuyan got up to greet each other. Please give your highness a good morning.
Mu Yunting came forward to help Shen Yuyan up. I have said that you don't have to care about these false gifts, let alone today is your birthday.
"Your Highness, there are no rules, and these rules can't be abolished." Shen Yuhuan snuggled up in Mu Yunting's arms with a smile and said softly.
"Ye-huh, it's almost time, and the guests are here. Let's go."
"Yes, Your Highness. Hun'er heard about the King of Wu..." Shen Yuwen wanted to know what attitude Mu Yunting had towards the matter of the king of Wu coming to her birthday party, so that she could find a way to deal with any unexpected situation.
Shen Yuhuang also saw Mu Yunting's terrible appearance after seeing Mu Yunlei. She didn't want Mu Yunting to get out of control in front of the guests, which is very unfavorable for Mu Yunting's succession to the throne in the future.
