Chapter 295

~ MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL PALACE BANQUET ~

“What did Royal Elder Sister say? The Palace is your home . You can come back whenever you want . If anyone feels that it’s too troublesome, I’ll drive them out . ” As the Emperor spoke, he glanced at the people behind him with a stern look in his eyes .

The Imperial Concubines, Princes, and Princesses behind him all inwardly complained as they hurriedly lowered their heads and bowed respectfully .

The Emperor was usually wise and thoughtful and was decisive in his actions . However, when it involved the matter of Grand Princess Yi De, he was particularly paranoid . He didn’t allow anyone to say anything not good about Grand Princess Yi De . Over the years, they are used to it .

The Grand Princess Yi De laughed softly . “Royal Little Brother, do you want this Imperial Sister to stand like this forever?”

“Royal Elder Sister, come with me . A banquet has already been set up in the Yuhua Palace . I want to receive you with a welcoming reception . ”

“No need to go through so much trouble . Serve some food and wine, and the two of us will have a nice chat . We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and I’m not sure if Royal Little Brother is doing well?”

“Alright, I’ll listen to my Royal Elder Sister . I really have a lot of things I want to say to my Royal Elder Sister . ”

Many of the concubines secretly heaved sighs of relief as they saw the Emperor and the Grand Princess off . Every time Grand Princess Yi De returned to the Imperial Palace, the Palace would be at the most peaceful and tranquil time . If anyone dared to cause anything to happen under the eyes of the Grand Princess Yi De, it makes her unhappy, and the Emperor alone will beat people straight to the Cold Palace .

The Emperor personally helped Princess Yi De fill up her wine cup, and his eyes were filled with happiness . This sort of expression was completely different from the regularly imposing Emperor, “Royal Elder Sister, you haven’t come back in a while . A lot of things happened inside and outside the Palace . ”

The Grand Princess Yi De had a smile on her face, and her eyes lighted softly: “No matter what happens, isn’t it possible for Royal Little Brother to solve this problem?”

“Although it can be resolved, when I feel that my Royal Elder Sister isn’t by my side, it feels like my heart isn’t at ease at all . ” He was no longer a prince who had no one to rely on in the past, but the habit he had developed back then had always been with him . Even now, after sitting firmly on the throne for dozens of years, his imperial power was majestic, and no one dared to provoke him . He still reminisced about the time when he was accompanied by his sister .

Grand Princess Yi De smiled slightly, her entire body rippling with peerless elegance . “This time, I plan to stay a bit longer . First of all, I also miss my Royal Little Brother . As I get older, I always miss my family . Secondly, I wanted to solve the problem that had been weighing on my mind all year round, and I could find a daughter to put in my name for my lost child . “

“Royal Elder Sister . ” The Emperor couldn’t help but feel guilty, “Back then …”

Grand Princess Yi De picked up the wine glass and smiled unchanged on her face: “I say that this matter isn’t about making you feel guilty . No matter if it was before or now, I have never regretted my decision to send a message . Even if time had flowed and it had allowed me to return to the past, I would still have chosen to send a message to you, my Royal Little Brother . ”

“Royal Elder Sister …”

“Don’t bring up the past . Let’s not talk about the matter anymore . Today, after so much trouble, you and I will meet again, so let’s have a drink first?”

“I offer my respects to Royal Elder Sister . ”

The return of Grand Princess Yi De caused an uproar in the entire Capital . In particular, in the backyards of the officials’ families . Countless people watched the young ladies of the families practice etiquette and prepare for the banquet .

Mu Yunyao lazily leaned on the soft couch as she teased the Snow Fox beside her with a peacock feather, making it jump up and down like a cat chasing the peacock feather .

When Su Qing walked in and saw her like this, she couldn’t help but chuckle, “A good Snow Fox, it really changed your disposition . ”

“It’s called doing as the Romans do . In the Capital, if it’s a Snow Fox, then maybe it will be caught and stripped of its fur as a collar . If it were a cat, then it would have been different . It can’t be raised up carefully and meticulously . ” Mu Yunyao’s eyes revealed a smile . It seemed like she had enough, so she threw the piece of the peacock feather to the Snow Fox, and in a few moments, it had destroyed it .

Su Qing, who was at the side, felt her heart pain . “What a good item . Normally, you can’t even buy it if you want to buy it . Why you used it to grind its claws?”

“It’s too gorgeous, and it always makes people feel annoyed . It’s also good to be able to grind the claws of a Snow Fox . ” Mu Yunyao sat up and supported her jaw with one hand, “Mother, you said that during the Palace Banquet tomorrow, what sort of talent will my beloved Elder Sister Yuyi perform?”

“How am I supposed to know that? But it’s her specialty after all . ” As Su Qing said this, she suddenly remembered, “Yao’er, are you preparing to perform something as well?”

“Those who were preparing for the show all wanted to gain the attention of Grand Princess Yi De . As for me, I have no other requests, so naturally, I don’t need any . ”

“That’s true, we’ll treat it as meeting tomorrow, so there’s no need to worry too much . ”

Mu Yunyao slightly narrowed her eyes . It was unknown what she thought of, but her smile was too strong . “Mother, I’ll borrow Si Shu by your side . ”

“But what has she got to do with it?”

“Yeah, there’s something I’ve been preparing for a long time . I can finally use it today . ”

“Then go . ”

“Alright, thank you, Mother . ”

The next day, August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival .

In order to make up for not being able to spend the day with her mother during the Mid-Autumn Festival, on the evening of the day before, Mu Yunyao and Su Qing sat in the courtyard admiring the moon . Although the moon in the sky wasn’t yet complete, the two of them didn’t mind at all . It was also good scenery .

Thus, Mu Yunyao woke up a little late in the morning . Fortunately, there was still a lot of time to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet .

Just as she ate something, Jin Lan walked in and reported, “Miss, the Su family’s steward sent a message saying that a few boats had come up from the dock to send Miss a congratulatory gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival . ”

“A congratulatory gift?” Mu Yunyao was slightly surprised, “Did you say where it was sent from?”

“It’s from Jingling City . Your servant thinks it could be from Shopkeeper Qin and Lady Ding?”

“It’s highly possible . You and Mo Yu went to report to Eldest Aunt and asked her to send someone to help you with the things on the boat . ”

“Yes, Miss . ”

The Eldest Madam was looking at the people helping Su Yuyi to dress up . When she heard Jin Lan and Mo Yu’s words, her face had a smile on it, “Mama Qi, bring Jin Lan and Mo Yu down to pick out a few men, make them lighten their limbs a little, don’t ruin the congratulatory gift that others gave to Yunyao . ”

“Yes, Madam . ”When Mama Qi led the people to withdraw, Su Yuyi put down her jade hairpin in her hand: “Just in time to give a congratulatory gift on this day, did she ever receive a gift?” Although she had figured out the meaning of the two pots of flowers that Jin Wang gave to Mu Yunyao, she still felt that grudge in her heart .

“Why would it affect your mood for her? It’s just a little gift . Do you want something?” The Eldest Madam looked at Su Yuyi with disapproval .

“Mother, Daughter knows she was wrong . She was saying it casually just now . Please don’t be angry . ” Su Yuyi quickly turned around and apologized .

“Alright . How can Mother be angry with you?” The Eldest Madam took the jade hairpin from the dressing table and carefully inserted it into Su Yuyi’s hair . She looked at her daughter, who was incomparably beautiful in the bronze mirror as her lips filled with a smile . “If you don’t sing, then it’ll be an astonishing noise; if you don’t fly, then you can soar into the sky! After today, my daughter will definitely become the number one beauty of the entire Dali Dynasty!”
