Due to the repeated orders from the Emperor, Grand Princess Yi De ordered someone to escort Su Qing and Mu Yunyao to the Imperial Palace.
Mu Yunyao and Su Qing had just gotten off the carriage when they saw their father-in-law welcoming them, "Greetings, Lady Su. Greetings, Miss Mu."
"Eunuch need not be so polite, I have to trouble you to lead the way." Young Miss has reduced this servant, please follow this servant. " When he first came to lead the way for Mu Yunyao, she was only the Young Miss Biao who had just returned to the Su palace. The people in the palace all said that her luck was good and that she could be found by the Su Clan. Now, in just a short period of time, she had already become the 'Miss Mu' that everyone praised. There was no need for her to be 'Miss Mu' …
In one fell swoop, she became someone highly regarded by Grand Princess Yi De. In addition to her actions, it would not be an exaggeration to praise her as a proud daughter of heaven.
Mu Yunyao and Su Qing had just entered the palace when an extremely cold voice was heard, "Mu Yunyao?"
"Greetings, Princess Qingning." After seeing Mu Yunyao pay her respects, Su Qing hurriedly followed.
Princess Qingning brought Su Yuyi forward with her, and without concealing the disgust and scrutiny in her eyes, she swept Mu Yunyao with her gaze several times, "To be able to cause my daughter, grandchildren, and granddaughter to successively fall victim, your abilities are not small."
"Yunyao doesn't understand what the princess is saying."
"Heh." Princess Qingning sneered and turned to look at Su Yuyi. "Yuyi, the air here is foul. It's better not to linger any longer." Su Yuyi's hatred was extremely strong. Mu Yunyao had caused her mother to be abandoned, making it a joke in the capital, and had also caused her father to be demoted to a higher official. Now that her father was firmly pressed on his head by the second chamber, her elder brother had no choice but to curry favor with the domineering Sixth Princess.
When the opportunity presented itself, she would definitely strike at Mu Yunyao until she could resolve the hatred in her heart!
Mu Yunyao helped Su Qing stand up and watched Princess Qingning and Su Yuyi's backs as they left. A dark light flashed in her eyes. "Mother, let's go."
The young noble official wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, afraid that Mu Yunyao would vent her anger on him. After carefully observing for a while and seeing that her smile was gentle, without the slightest bit of haze, he gradually relaxed.
Just as he was about to reach the front hall, he let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a sharp voice berating him.
"Who's in front of you? Why are you so unruly? Why aren't you kneeling and bowing when you see the Consort?"
Mu Yunyao raised her head and saw a woman in a pinkish-red dress with a hundred butterflies in a peony shaped palace, slowly walking over under the escort of the palace maids. She was incredibly bright, with a slight smile on her face.
Mu Yunyao's brows twitched and she winked at Su Qing. She respectfully curtsied and said, "Greetings, Imperial Concubine."
Consort De waved away the palace maids by her side and slowly walked in front of Mu Yunyao. With a wave of her palace skirt, the peony on the hem of her skirt swayed as she spoke, "Who are you? "Why do you look so tense? It's as though you've never seen it before."
She had seen Mu Yunyao attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Meet before, so when she said she didn't know her, she clearly felt troubled.
"Reporting to the Consort of the Underworld, this humble girl Mu Yunyao is beside my mother, Su Qing."
"Mu Yunyao, Su Qing …" You call yourself a commoner just because you don't have any title on you. Why can't you kneel and kowtow when you see me? " Consort De looked at Mu Yunyao. Even though she was expressionless, her lips were slightly raised.
There were a lot of people who came to attend the palace banquet. Normally, they only needed to perform a simple salute. Consort De would naturally not let this point slip by if she intentionally picked a fight with them.
Mu Yunyao kneeled down happily, and after bowing, she said in a crisp voice, "Imperial Concubine De, please forgive me."
Su Qing bowed to Mu Yunyao, feeling extremely nervous in her heart. This Madame Concubine was most likely the eldest wife's older sister, so she was waiting here to intentionally make things difficult for them.
The corner of Consort De's lips lifted as she looked at Mu Yunyao kneeling at her feet. Her eyes flashed with an unrestrained smile, as if her feet weren't steady enough. She lightly took a step forward, and her dark purple embroidered shoes just so happened to step on Mu Yunyao's kneeling fingers.
"I heard that your embroidery skills are peerless in this world. When did you make me a palace dress to wear?"
His finger hurt, causing Mu Yunyao's face to turn white. Her forehead immediately broke out in a sweat, "Consort De, you accidentally stepped on my finger."
Consort De looked down, but did not have the intention to move her feet away, "Is that so? Perhaps it's because you've been holding the embroidery needle so long with your fingers so rough, when I step on it, there's no difference compared to standing on the ground. For a moment, I can't even react.
Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at Consort De, her black eyes cold and detached, "In any case, I'm still the one whom Grand Princess Yi has personally taken a fancy to. Is Imperial Concubine De not afraid of Grand Princess Yi getting angry from playing such a small trick?" There was no one else here, so there was no need to be so cautious when speaking. Consort De laughed. She slowly crouched down and focused her power on the foot on Mu Yunyao's finger. The peony embroidered dress was scattered on the ground, like a wildly flamboyant flower. She stretched out a finger covered in red rosewood and pinched Mu Yunyao's chin, forcing her to raise her head. "
Who do you think you are? Did you really think you could climb to the heavens by climbing on top of Princess Yide? "I would like to see if Grand Princess Jed would punish me, the favorite concubine of the Emperor, for the sake of your granddaughter, who was picked up halfway." Mu Yunyao blinked and smiled, "To be able to call herself a concubine, Concubine De is truly confident. However, someone once told me that flowers don't have a thousand days of good days, and people don't have a thousand days. To use it to advise you today, I think it's especially appropriate." Based on the Meng Clan's way of doing things, even if she didn't take the correct one …
He was about to be punished by the Emperor.
Consort De's fingers that pinched Mu Yunyao's chin grew harder and harder, her nails leaving crescent-shaped marks on her cheeks. "Look at this delicate face. If I don't use my full strength and accidentally cut it with my nails, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it again." Mu Yunyao's smile didn't change, as if she was certain that Consort De didn't dare to do anything to her. "If Consort De feels relieved, then let go of me. My skin is tender and it is very easy to leave behind traces.
"Is that so?"
Consort De fiercely released her hand and pushed Mu Yunyao to the side, "You're indeed arrogant just because you've achieved your goals, you actually dare to be disrespectful to me?" Consort De was furious in her heart, partly because Mu Yunyao was disrespectful to her, but also because Mu Yunyao's words were reasonable. She really did only dare to use these petty tricks against her, so who allowed this person to receive Grand Princess Yi's attention? No matter how angry he was, he had to take into consideration the beauty of the Grand Princess.
Faces.
Quite a number of people had already arrived at this gap, and upon seeing this scene, they quickly moved out of the way.
"Madame Concubine, it's about time. If we continue delaying, I'm afraid we'll miss the opening of the banquet. Can I get up now?" No, you must kneel here! Without my order, if you dare to stand up, I will break both your legs! "
