~ LAN YAN IS ALSO A DISASTER ~

The Grand Princess Yi De looked at the stack of silver banknotes in her hand, smiling very happily. “It seems that my luck is quite good. After collecting all of these silver banknotes, I’ll have enough silver to give you for the New Years.”

Mu Yunyao secretly glared at Yue Wang and insisted on changing the position with Su Qing, “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang is too unlucky, I don’t want to be on his side.”

“Fine,” the Grand Princess Yi De smiled as she promised, “Then you and I will go together.”

After changing seats, Mu Yunyao’s luck did not change. On the other hand, it was Su Qing who seemed to have changed the situation. She won the following round with ease.

Mu Yunyao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the bare table next to her with a withered expression. “I’ve lost again.”

Seeing her fuming appearance, Yue Wang couldn’t help but feel that his fingers were itching. The current Mu Yunyao was like a soft mass of clouds, making him unable to control his desire to reach out and poke her.

The Grand Princess Yi De took out two silver notes and handed them over to Mu Yunyao. “Look at this poor girl. I’ll give you these two silver notes. Let’s see if you can get them back from now on.”

After playing two more rounds, Mu Yunyao also lost the silver notes given by Grand Princess Yi De. She joked that she had to hurry to wash her hands, saying that her luck was too bad.

Mu Yunyao gave her seat to Qu Mama and really did go to the side to wash her hands.

Before she could wipe her hands dry, Xu Qi took the handkerchief and handed it to her, “The relationship between Little Sister Yunyao and the Grand Princess is pretty good. It makes me envious just by looking at it.”

Mu Yunyao took the handkerchief and gently dried her hands. “Isn’t Elder Sister Qi’s relationship with the Grand Princess also very good?”

“Look at what I’m saying. It’s easy to misunderstand. I’m not jealous of Little Sister Yunyao, but I’m just a little overwhelmed. The Grand Princess Yi De had always been searching for her lost daughter for many years, and even she rarely returned to the Capital precisely because she was afraid to come to this sorrowful place and reminisce about the past. The Grand Princess might seem to treat others warmly, but she is actually a quite cold and aloof person. However, I just saw her smiling happily, a smile that I haven’t been seen in many years.”

Xu Qi’s tone was remarkably emotional, but the words she said were sincere.

Mu Yunyao’s expression hardened slightly, and some sharp thorns brought by Yue Wang gradually softened in her heart. Although she didn’t really like Xu Qi very much, she had taken care of Grand Princess Yi De all these years. She deserved to be acknowledged and thanked, “The Grand Princess Yi De also very happy to see Elder Sister Qi very much.”

Xu Qi held Mu Yunyao’s hand and said with a smile, “In the future, the two of us will take good care of Grand Princess Yi De, and she’ll be even happier.”

Mu Yunyao nodded her head. Hearing the sound of footsteps from behind her, she could not help but turn around. It was Yue Wang, who was walking over with his hands behind his back.

Yue Wang didn’t seem to see Xu Qi and directly said to Mu Yunyao, “Why you has it taken so long to wash your hands?”

“I chatted with Elder Sister Qi for a while. Why isn’t Yue Wang playing cards with Grand Princess Yi De?”

“I’ve also lost all my silver. Lend me some.”

Mu Yunyao almost laughed in anger when she heard Yue Wang’s righteous tone. She had carefully looked at him just now, and it was evident that this person was deliberately trying to undermine her position, which was why she kept losing so miserably. “I don’t have silver!” For him to be so unrestrained, it was time to discipline him properly.

Yue Wang sighed as if he was extremely unwilling, but the smile in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts. He blinked his eyes at Mu Yunyao and spat out three words, “Madam Guan!”

Heard this form of address, Mu Yunyao’s face flushed, and she almost gasped for breath. “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang!”

“It’s fine if you don’t want me to called you that. Just give me some banknotes.”

Noticing Xu Qi’s gaze, the redness on Mu Yunyao’s ears deepened. She took off the purse hanging on her waist and threw it into his hands, “There are some golden peanuts inside. If you lose all of them, you can go down the mountain and pawn yourself before playing cards again.”

“Then remember to go to the pawnshop to redeem me.” After saying that, Yue Wang turned around and walked back into the house. After taking two steps, he stopped and looked back, “You need to bring some silver taels with you when you go. In addition, hurry back to the house. It’s quite cold outside. Don’t be infected with the wind and cold.”

At this moment, Mu Yunyao’s heart was burning hot, but how could she still feel cold?

After Yue Wang left, Xu Qi’s face was full of smiles, “Little Sister Yunyao, your relationship with Yue Wang is really good. Although Yue Wang is an elder, he doesn’t put on any airs.”

Heard Xu Qi defines Yue Wang as her elder, Yunyao tightened her fingers on her handkerchief. “Let’s go back.”

“Little Sister, you should go back first. Since the snow is still falling, I’ll go gather some. I can make some tea with the snow water in the future, and the Grand Princess likes it the most.” With that, she took the oil-paper umbrella from the side and walked out.

Mu Yunyao looked at her back and frowned slightly. Then, she turned around and returned to the inner room.

After their previous interaction, she naturally understood where Xu Qi’s hostility towards her came from. It wasn’t because Grand Princess Yi De wanted to recognize her as her granddaughter, but because of Yue Wang!

This Miss Xu was actually one of Yue Wang’s admirers, and judging from her expression, she had quite a deep affection for him.

Mu Yunyao had just turned at the screen when she saw Yue Wang standing at the side. He was holding the purse she gave him as if it contained countless golden peanuts. His handsome face had a focused expression.

“Why hasn’t Yue Wang entered yet?”

“I’m afraid that if I lost all my silver, you would force me to go down the mountain and pawn myself.”

“You are the magnificent Yue Wang, and you are the Fourth Prince of the Dali Synasty. Thus, I am not that capable as that.”

“If it were anyone else, it would naturally be impossible. However, you, on the other hand, are able to do it.” Yue Wang carefully tied the purse around his waist and gently pulled the grip on it to confirm that it would not fall off.

Mu Yunyao originally wanted to ask for the purse. But seeing his actions, she knew that it was going to be gone forever. “Why do you say that?”

“Because I can’t bear to disobey you and have to listen to you.” Yue Wang extended a finger and lightly pressed it on Mu Yunyao’s forehead. The deliberately depressed voice slowly flows with a deep and pleasant magnetism, causing Mu Yunyao’s chest to tighten as a sweet and happy feeling uncontrollably dispersed out.

“You …” Mu Yunyao Mu Yunyao blushed and took two steps back.

Yue Wang straightened his body and walked to the inner room as if nothing had happened, accompanying Grand Princess Yi De in continuing to play the leaf cards.

In the end, there was only one golden peanut remaining in the purse, barely ensuring that Yue Wang did not have to go down the mountain to pawn himself.

Time flew, and the sky gradually darkened.

Mu Yunyao came back to her senses and realized that Xu Qi hadn’t come back for a long time.

Qu Mama noticed that she was looking towards the door, as she softly said, “Miss Xu brought some people with her to collect the snow water. They’re currently in a nearby room to organize and store up the snow water. They should be more or less finished by now.”

Mu Yunyao nodded. Seeing that Grand Princess Yi De was rubbing her shoulders, she couldn’t help but step forward to help her massage her shoulders. “Grand Princess has been sitting here for too long. I’ll walk around the room later.”

Mu Yunyao’s fingers were soft, and her kneading strength was moderate. Grand Princess Yi De sighed in a very comfortable manner and sighed with emotion, “I wonder who will have the fortune to marry a girl as good as our Yao’er in the future?”

“I’m still young. There’s no need to think about it....”

“Sssii!” The sound of paper shattering could be heard. Yue Wang held the card that had been broken into two in his hand. With a cold expression on his face, he said, “Imperial Aunt, this leaf card is too terrible. I will have someone make a good one and send it to you another day.”
