~ THE NEW YEAR’S BANQUET ~

After Xu Qi had left, Jin Qiao saw Mu Yunyao’s gaze fall on the herb materials placed on the table. She then quickly stepped forward to the box and brought it to Mu Yunyao, “Miss, are there any problems with these herb materials?”

“There’s no problem with the medicinal ingredients. They seem to be of high quality.”

“Then why does this servant feel like Miss’s expression isn’t right?”

“What do you think of the Imperial Physician called by the Grand Princess?”

“The Imperial Physician who helped treat Miss yesterday was personally called over by the Grand Princess, so the skills or the character, it should be expressly good.”

“Then, as a physician, should she reveal the medicinal prescription I use so casually?” Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to pick it up and picked up ginseng from a box. She held the ginseng in her hand and shook the ginseng beard.

Jin Lan carefully recalled what Xu Qi had said and suddenly realized, “Miss, Miss Xu came over just now and said that she had let the Imperial Physician take a look at all of these herb materials. She said that it didn’t conflict with the prescription that the Imperial Physician had given to Miss. Are you worried that the Imperial Physician has leaked your prescription?”

The herb materials sent over did not conflict with the prescriptions taken by Miss. If so, was it possible that some of the medicine sent over conflicted with Miss’s prescripts?

Mu Yunyao shook her head. “Maybe I was just thinking over much. It’s okay. Just take all of these medicinal ingredients.” When she found out that Xu Qi was also interested in Yue Wang, she couldn’t help but feel a bit prejudiced in her heart. Thus, it was possible for her to overthink things.

“Yes, Miss.”

It wasn’t clear if it was because the treatment was timely or else. But a few days later, Mu Yunyao felt much better. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the residence gradually became lively.

The snow melted, and the residence was swept up until it looked brand-new. Mu Yunyao put on her cloak and stood in front of the door to watch Jin Lan and Jin Qiao hang lanterns on the door.

When Su Qing walked over and saw how she was acting, she hurriedly glared at her and said, “It took a lot of effort for you to get better. Still, tomorrow you have to go to the Palace to attend the public banquet. If you become more greedy and the cold is more serious at this moment, then for the next few days, Mother will lock you up at home. I won’t let you go anywhere.”

“Mother, I just stood there for a moment. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao can testify.”

Jin Lan and Jinq] Qiao hung up the lanterns and said with a smile, “Madam still has a way to control Miss. We’ve tried to persuade you a few times, but Miss just wouldn’t listen.”

Mu Yunyao snorted at the two of them. “I originally wanted to give you two a big red envelope for the new year, but it seems like you two don’t want it anymore.”

“Miss, these servant know they were wrong. We’ve been looking forward to this day for a whole year, and we’ve been waiting for tomorrow to receive your red envelope!” Jin Lan and Jin Qiao pleaded for mercy, but Mu Yunyao refused to let go. After being begged by the two for a long time, they couldn’t help but reluctantly compromise.

The Grand Princess Yi De walked in with her people. But before she could even enter the courtyard, she heard laughter, and she immediately smiled, “I can hear that you are so happy from afar. Is there anything fun to say that makes me happy too?”

Mu Yunyao stepped forward and wanted to call her grandmother. But seeing Xu Qi was following behind her, she could only change her words at the last minute, “Greeting, Grand Princess Yi De. Seeing that you’ve come at the right time, Your Royal Highness, please help me support my back. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao both wanted me to give her a big red envelope for the New Year!”

The Grand Princess Yi De couldn’t help but point her finger at her and say, “I think Yao’er is just a little silver fan. She only knows how to make silver all day long. Isn’t that just the red envelope? If Jin Lan and Jin Qiao come to me tomorrow to ask for it, I definitely wouldn’t be as stingy as you.” These two girls were very loyal to Yunyao and served her well. She will naturally not treat them poorly when she sees them in her eyes.

Upon receiving the confirmation of Grand Princess Yi De, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were overjoyed instantly. “Thank you, Grand Princess.”

Mu Yunyao held onto the Grand Princess’s arm and shook it. “Then the Grand Princess must also give me a big red envelope.”

“Didn’t I ask Qu Mama to open the warehouse for you earlier and let you go in to choose?”

“Then I might as well stay in the warehouse tomorrow.”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s smile grew even brighter. “You are obviously already old, and yet you still act like a child.” She did not know how she got along with the ice-cold Yue Wang.

Mu Yunyao accompanied Grand Princess Yi De to chat and laugh before hurriedly following her inside the house.

The Grand Princess Yide commanded the maidservants behind her to place the trays in their hands on the table and then opened the silk cloths on the trays one by one. “These are a few new clothes. Come and wear them quickly. See if they fit.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes were filled with a pleasant surprise. She stepped forward and carefully examined the clothes. “They’re astonishingly beautiful. Such beautiful clothes are something even Ni Yun Fang can’t produce.”

Seeing her happy, the Grand Princess Yi De became even more satisfied. “Quickly put it on and try it on, see which one is the best. Tomorrow, you will wear it to the banquet.”

Mu Yunyao looked all over before finally choosing a simple and beautiful dress. She chose a plain velvet spring brocade and silver brocade shirt with high-quality dark flower cloud brocade Yuexia skirt. This outfit was outstandingly elegant, making Mu Yunyao look like she was transcending the mundane world. Grand Princess Yi De carefully looked at her for a while, but she still felt a little dissatisfied. “She is indeed beautiful, but I think Yao’er is suitable for a brighter color.”

“This one is not bad. Those red colours can be worn next winter, so keep it.” After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she instructed Jin Lan and Jin Qiao, who were at the side, to put away the clothes.

Grand Princess Yi De sighed in her heart. She knew that Mu Yunyao wanted to keep filial piety for Mu Cheng, so she didn’t say anything more. “It just so happens that I got someone to make me a golden pearl and a peach blossom headdress, which is just perfect for your dress.”

“Thank you, Grand Princess. Yunyao also has a gift for you. Jin Lan, quickly bring me the dress I made.”

“Yes, Miss.”

When Jin Lan and Jin Qiao took out the clothes, the Grand Princess Yi De couldn’t help but get up and step forward to take a closer look at them. The more she looked, the more touched she became, “Yunyao ….” This set of clothes has probably taken up a lot of your time, right?”

This was the Palace attire. The dark purple dress was embroidered with a nine-tailed golden phoenix flapping its wings and about to fly away. The beautiful phoenix feathers were spread out on the dresses behind her, shining with a golden light with just a slight movement. It is a noble and beautiful indispensable thing.

“As long as the Grand Prince like it, it’s fine.” In order to embroider this dress, she didn’t sleep well for a long time, but it’s worth the hard work to make her grandmother like it.

Princess Yide couldn’t put it down. “I will wear this to the Palace public banquet tomorrow.”

At the request of Grand Princess Yi De, Su Qing was also among the guests at the palace banquet this time.

In the carriage, Mu Yunyao saw that her mother was nervous and couldn’t help but comfort her in a soft voice, “Mother, don’t worry too much. Every single movement in the Palace’s banquet has its own rules. We just need to eat quietly and listen to the people talking.”

“Yao’er, I still feel uneasy in my heart. If it weren’t for the Grand Princess’s repeated requests, I would never have entered the Palace. I’ve been scared off in the Su family for the past few days, and I am afraid they will cause trouble at the banquet.

“Most of the Su family’s banquets are intentionally meant for the two of us, but the banquets in the Palace are different. Moreover, today is the New Year’s banquets, so if anyone dares to mess with today’s banquets, I’m afraid they will think that their lives are too long.”
