Chapter 455
Today, Mu Yunyao was wearing a fur coat with torreya flowers and golden silk threads. White hair was rolling down the collar and cuffs, and a laying rabbit hairpin was stuck into her head. Right now, her curved eyes were smiling, giving the spacious and empty mansion a fresh and beautiful appearance.
Duke Yue sat across from Mu Yunyao, his eyes focused on her, and felt that her smile was sweet to the point that it touched one's heart.
"Yao`er, thank you very much.
"
He was born in the cold palace, his father never mentioned his birthday, everyone else had already forgotten about this matter. Even his imperial aunt, who was afraid of touching his sore spot, had never mentioned it, so Yun Yao could be said to be the first person to officially celebrate his birthday.
Mu Yunyao laughed as she puffed out her breath, using all her strength to struggle against the seal on the wine jar. In the end, after being tossed and turned for a long time, her face was completely red, and she was still unable to remove the seal.
"Heh.
" Yue Wang laughed lightly, and seeing Mu Yunyao's finger that was slightly red from using too much strength, he extended his hand to receive the small jar of osmanthus wine.
"Let me do it.
" Mu Yunyao placed her hands on the edge of her mouth and rubbed it vigorously. Feeling that it had warmed up a little, she withdrew it and said,
"Today's weather is perfect for drinking osmanthus wine. This jar of wine was brewed before the fall of the Mid-Autumn Festival osmanthus flower.
"Alright.
"
With a plop, the Titan King removed the seal and placed it to the side. Immediately, a faint aroma of wine wafted out.
Mu Yunyao was afraid that the wine hadn't been brewed well, so she anxiously went up to the edge of the wine jar to have a look. After discovering that the taste wasn't bad, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief,
"Seems like it wasn't bad.
"
Yue Wang held the wine jar in his hand as Mu Yunyao leaned over. Her hair just happened to brush past his hands, causing her to feel itchy. The fragrance of the osmanthus wine couldn't be considered to be strong. If one were to carefully taste it, they would be able to distinguish the fragrance of the osmanthus flower. However, Wang Lin found this smell particularly intoxicating.
Mu Yunyao prepared a green jade cup, and when she saw King Yue fill his cup, she hurriedly brought it over to take a sniff.
"So fragrant.
"
Looking at her greedy appearance, King Yue could not help but give a pampering smile.
"Then I'll give this first cup to you. Thank you for remembering my birthdate.
"
"Since you are the Duke of Longevity today, I will naturally toast you with the first cup of wine. I cannot take advantage of you like this.
" Mu Yunyao raised her wine cup and touched it to King Yue's blanket. With a bright smile that was like the morning glow, she said,
"To Fourth Master, I wish you good luck and good health and a long life.
"
"Alright.
" Yue Yang did not continue trying to differentiate them. He was afraid that he would lose his composure the moment he opened his mouth.
It was a cloudy day and the weather was especially cold. Coupled with the desolate scene in the courtyard, it was easier for people to feel depressed. But when he looked at Mu Yunyao's smiling appearance, he felt an infinite amount of warmth in his heart, even to the point that his chest ached.
The osmanthus wine was not strong, and its taste was extremely soft.
After Mu Yunyao drank a mouthful, she seriously nodded her head.
"The taste is really not bad. It seems like my skills haven't deteriorated.
"
"Did Yao'er also brew osmanthus wine before this?
" Mu Yunyao paused for a moment, then nodded her head,
"En, I did brew some before burying it under a flower tree. Afterwards when the tree was cut down, I couldn't find the wine anymore.
" The wicked woman was extremely fond of the wine she brewed and would steal it better every time. She also said that the wine she brewed was exceptionally intoxicating, making people not think about those who were drunk …
No. She had tried quite a number herself, but she had never been drunk before. She also didn't know how drunk she was from the way the mistress spoke …
"It's such a pity.
" Yue Wang helped Mu Yunyao fill her cup, and starlight flashed in her clear and cold eyes. The second goblet of wine, I wish Fourth Master Cheng a thousand miles and think that things have finally come to fruition.
" Mu Yunyao held her wine cup and clinked it against the Titan King's once again. She raised her head and drank the wine, sighing,
"It's not much of a pity. Those wines with no taste, if you can't find them, you won't be able to.
What about the poison juice?
"
"Yunyao, what's wrong?
"
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at King Yue's worried expression. She put down her wine cup and laughed,
"It's nothing. I've thought of some unhappy things, how's Fourth Master's lotus pond doing?
"
"The construction work that was not convenient in winter is still not even half done.
"
"No rush.
"
"Why would I get drunk?
" I still have to make longevity noodles for Master Si today, I definitely won't let myself get drunk.
"
"Sure, you cooked noodles for me on my birthday last year. I can't forget it even today.
" During the last Lantern Festival, Yun Yao's bowl of noodles was just a coincidence, but it made his heart feel warm during the fierce winter.
Mu Yunyao pursed her lips and smiled,
"Then every year today, I'll cook noodles for you.
"
King Yue's eyes suddenly brightened. He couldn't help but stand up and walk to Mu Yunyao's side. He half knelt down and raised his head to look at her.
"Yunyao, are you serious?
"
King Yue watched Mu Yunyao's movements and carefully sized up her eyes. He couldn't help but laugh.
"Yunyao, you're drunk.
"
"How is this possible? I'm not drunk.
" Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head and denied it. Her slightly hazy eyes and the scarlet tinge in the corners of her eyes actually betrayed her.
"Alright, you're not drunk. Then get up and help me make a bowl of longevity noodles.
"
Mu Yunyao stood up, and her figure couldn't help but sway back and forth. She shook her head, and slightly calmed her expression, then walked out, but before she could even take two steps, she felt the world spinning around her, and she fell into Yue Yang's embrace.
Yue Yang carried her in his arms, the person in his arms was soft and slender, as light as a feather, he weighed her in his hands and felt that she was not that heavy compared to the hunting grounds,
"Yunyao, you should eat more.
"
Mu Yunyao frowned as she propped herself up and looked up at Mu Yunyao.
"Why?
"
"It's softer to eat more …
"
"Then other than me, who else have you hugged?
" Mu Yunyao's mind flashed with images and she couldn't help but snort,
"Did you hug Xu Qi?
"
Yue Yang hurriedly shook his head:
"No.
"
"I don't believe it.
" Mu Yunyao felt a little wronged, as if someone had snatched something very precious from her,
"You're not allowed to care about that Xu Qi, you can only like me.
"
"Alright.
" King Yue embraced Mu Yunyao and felt her body's warmth. He felt like his heart was about to be filled with honey, so how could he have the mood to think about others?
"Even if... Even if I can't marry you in the future, you can't like others either.
" Mu Yunyao lowered her eyelids. Her eyes were very dim, like a cat whose fur had been wet by water, and pitifully curled up into a ball.
King Yue trembled as he lowered his head to look at Mu Yunyao.
"Yao`er …
"
"Do you think I'm overbearing? I don't care, who told you to mess with me, since you've moved my heart, there's no reason for me to leave alone. Even if my identity is announced to the world in the future and I can't marry you, your wife's seat must still be empty, leave me alone! Otherwise, I will …
If I kill you now, I won't have to make you a heartless person.
" King Yue suddenly broke out into a smile that was as strong as it ever was.
"Alright, I promise you.
" If Yun Yao had not been drunk today, she would not have said these words out loud. She never would have thought that he was not the only one thinking about everything and that Yun Yao's feelings towards him were the same.
