~ SERIOUS NONSENSE ~
Inside the Su family residence, everything seemed normal, but the atmosphere was getting tenser and tenser. The atmosphere filled with a feeling like a storm was brewing, and the servants were all holding their breath as they walked more lightly.
A fire broke out in Baohua Temple, and the Emperor was worried about the safety of Grand Princess Yi De. He sent guards to the mountain to escort the Grand Princess Yi Devback to the Palace.
As a result, the news could no longer be concealed. Many young ladies of the official family came to Baohua Temple in the name of praying for blessings, hoping to meet the Grand Princess Yi De. Even if they didn’t, they could use the name of praying for the blessing to show their filial piety.
Qu Mama put down the teacup in her hands and softly reported to Grand Princess Yi De, “Mistress, Miss Mu has come. She said that she has already copied down the Buddhist scriptures.”
The Grand Princess Yi De picked up her teacup and took a sip. “Now that the news of me being on the mountain has spread. It’s best not to cause trouble for Mu Yunyao at this time. Go and receive the Buddhist scripture, and I won’t see her.”
“Yes.”
Mu Yunyao held the Buddhist scripture in both hands as she stood at the entrance of the courtyard. When she saw Qu Mama walked out, she slightly bent her knees and greeted, “Greetings, Qu Mama.”
“Miss Mu is too polite. The Grand Princess asked this servant to send a message saying that she would like to thank Miss for helping to copy the Buddhist scriptures.”
“The Grand Princess is too polite. Yunyao really doesn’t dare to accept it.”
Qu Mama took the Buddhist scriptures and bowed. “Take care and go slowly, Miss Mu.”
Mu Yunyao nodded in return before turning to leave. She was not thinking of entering the eyes of the Grand Princess Yi De, so she was not disappointed when she could not see anyone.
When Qu Mama saw her clean and crisp figure, she couldn’t help but be slightly surprised. She returned to Grand Princess Yi De and explained the matter to her.
Grand Princess Yi De picked up a scroll of Buddhist scriptures and started reading it carefully. “Everyone has sharpened their head and wants to come to me, but she is an exception. It is also surprisingly interesting. How is it going with Jun Yue?”
“His Royal Highness Yue Wang’s spirit is still good. Your servant asked the imperial physician and said that Miss Mu had given His Royal Highness an notably good medicine. I believe he’ll recover a few days earlier than expected.”
The Grand Princess Yi De paused as she flipped through the Buddhist scriptures. “That’s good.”
Inside the room, Yue Wang was pacing back and forth in his room, occasionally glancing towards the door from time to time.
Yu Heng stood at the side with his head lowered. Seeing his master like this, he couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness, Miss Mu has gone to deliver the Buddhist scriptures to Grand Princess Yi De, and she will be here soon. You have some wounds on your back, so sit down and rest for a while.” He can’t believe that the prince, who has always been quiet and indifferent, actually there were times when he was so concerned about others.
Yue Wang’s footsteps paused as he sat on a chair to the side and sized up Yu Heng with a cold gaze: “For the past year, Yu Yi has been running back and forth between Western Guangdong and Jingling City. I have always felt that I have treated him poorly, so I should allow him to rest in the Capital. I’ll leave it to you to pass the message back and forth. How about that?”
Yu Heng’s expression turned bitter as he silently cursed himself in his heart: “Master, Yu Yi isn’t as smart as your subordinate. You definitely won’t be used to using him.”
“He....” Just as Yue Wang was about to say something, he saw a servant come in from the entrance to report to him.
“His Royal Highness... Miss Mu is here.”
Yu Heng immediately ran outside, secretly grateful to Mu Yunyao. If she had been any later, he would have been reduced to Yu Yi’s pigeon, “Greetings, Miss Mu. His Royal Highness is waiting for you in his room.”
“Thank you.”
Mu Yunyao walked into the room. When she saw Yue Wang, she couldn’t help but blink and curtsy down with a smile. “Greetings, Fourth Master.”
Seeing her expression, it was unknown why Yue Wang’s face heated up: “There’s no need to be so courteous. I heard Yu Heng say that you went to deliver the Buddhist scriptures to Imperial Aunt. How did you come over so quickly?”
Hearing this, Mu Yunyao’s smile deepened. “The Fourth Master is particularly well-informed with the news. The Grand Princess Yi De didn’t see me, so I directly came over.”
Yue Wang raised his hand, clenched his fist, put it on his lips, and coughed twice. He did his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and silently noted it down for Yu Heng. If it wasn’t for him reminding him just now, he wouldn’t have exposed his intention to keep an eye on Mu Yunyao at all times, “Imperial Father sent someone to the Baohua Temple to take Imperial Aunt back to the Imperial Palace. Therefore, many young ladies of the Capital came here together with them. It’s good for you that Imperial Aunt doesn’t see you here.”
“I know. Today, I’ve been summoned by the Grand Princess Yi De, and I’ll become the target of public criticism tomorrow.” Mu Yunyao stood up and walked over to Yue Wang’s side. “Let me help Fourth Master take a look at the wounds in your back.”
As Mu Yunyao approached, a faint fragrance wafted in the air, causing the heat in Yue Wang’s heart to intensify.
Mu Yunyao did not notice the change in Yue Wang’s expression. She slightly pulled down his clothes and looked at the wound on his back. Compared to yesterday, the color of the wound had become darker, and some of the tiny blisters had disappeared, much better than they had been yesterday. “The wound is recovering well, and I’ll change the medicine for you.
If Fourth Master rests for a while, it should be fine.”
Yue Wang’s attention was completely focused on the fragrance at the tip of his nose, so he did not notice what she had said.
Seeing this, Mu Yunyao called out again, “What is Fourth Master thinking?”
Yue Wang’s face was expressionless, but the expression in his eyes wavered slightly, just like the river under the sun. The light on his face flickered, “I am thinking about what incense you have burned?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he couldn’t wait to cut off his own tongue. How could he unknowingly ask the question that was on his mind?
Mu Yunyao was also slightly stunned for a moment before hurriedly retreating half a step. She was a bit further away from him. Originally, she felt very uneasy, but when she saw a cold but full of red appearance on Yue Wang’s face, she didn’t know why, but she suddenly laughed.
Previously, Mu Yunyao had always thought Yue Wang had a cold personality and a cold aura surrounding him. In addition to the two unpleasant meetings in his previous life, Mu Yunyao always thought Yue Wang was difficult to get along with. When she saw his reddened face and thought about the various thoughts he had, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but felt that he is extremely adorable.
Hearing Mu Yunyao’s chuckle, Yue Wang’s expression became even tenser. Once again, he couldn’t help but shake his hand into a fist, which he placed under his lips as he coughed twice. “I didn’t feel it before, but today I realize that I seem to have suffered some internal injuries, and my spirit is often in a trance. That was why he was spouting nonsense.
Seeing him speak so earnestly, the uneasiness in Mu Yunyao’s heart actually dissipated. She slowly walked to the stool next to Yue Wang and sat down, lifting her sleeves to smell slightly, “In the past few days, I’ve been praying in the Baohua Temple. In order to show her piety, she bathes and changes clothes every day. Naturally, I haven’t burned incense. Did Fourth Master smell the fragrance on me?”
In Yue Wang’s heart, he wrote Yu Heng’s name once again. It was all because of his nonsense before that caused his emotions to be thrown into disarray, to the point that he was at a loss when facing Yunyao, “There are some....” The moment the two words left his mouth, Yue Wang’s expression became even more embarrassed.
“I know how to mix some spices. What flavor does Fourth Master like?”
“What I like? Could you make incense whatever I like?”
Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head and blinked. The smile in her eyes became even stronger. “If Fourth Master doesn’t want this offer, then so be it....”
