Ambiguous Love in Mysteries - C245 Prunus mume
“Esteemed wangfei, the empress dowager called out to you!”
The Princess Yunyang made a sound before turning around. He knelt on the ground and spoke to the empress dowager, “Esteemed empress dowager, our Fen’er has already betrothed her to someone else. It was the emperor himself who betrothed her!”
“Yes, mother. It’s that He Weijie, he is the son of the Board of Justice’s president. I believe that he is more than enough to be compatible with us, Fen’er.”
Su Mu kept feeling that there was something wrong with the few of them, but right now, Su Mu was busy, and did not have the mind to investigate other people’s affairs.
The empress dowager only grunted in acknowledgement but declined to comment. She dragged Lin Zifen and walked to the front of the group, and by the time they reached the kitchen, the monks inside the Jade Dragon Temple had already gathered.
Everyone sat at their lower seats, leaving a table at their lower seats. Without a doubt, this should be where the empress dowager, empress dowager, and imperial concubine sat.
Su Mu didn’t know where he should sit. After a while, he didn’t dare to take the first seat, and after hesitating for a while, he finally sat down…
When the Emperor saw Su Mu’s cramped state, he felt it was funny. He suddenly had a playful feeling in his heart, and said to Lin Zifen: “Fen’er, why don’t you sit with your royal brother, or maybe your royal sister-in-law won’t be feeling well today. She should also be going to sit at another table.”
Hu Zi was caught off guard by the emperor’s words, and he could not help but look at Lin Yi. Was he not feeling well? But she didn’t say it like that, she looked at the Emperor who had clearly said her, yet was actually looking at Su Mu, and understood what was going on. She guessed that she was only using a deceptive method, and Lin Yi’s so-called sister-in-law should be referring to Su Mu.
Hu Zi stood up and said to Lin Yi, “Your majesty, this is all your concubine’s fault, your concubine’s body is indeed not feeling well today. If I were to infect Imperial Mother with the cold caused by this, your son would feel bad, and your concubine would have to go sit at another table!”
Hu Zi had already noticed the table at the side. The table was filled with dishes that she liked, especially the West Lake beef broth, the West Lake beef broth was specially made by the master of the Yellow Crane Restaurant. Although it was only one bowl per table, when sitting with the empress dowager, how could they eat properly?
Hu Zi was naturally lively enough, and didn’t really care about etiquette. However, the empress dowager didn’t feel like it, because the situation before her was a little inappropriate. The empress dowager was a nation after all.
The empress dowager coughed twice and was about to speak, but the emperor beat her to it. “Since that’s the case, empress, go sit at the table beside us. Be careful of your body and add another set of clothes!”
After pausing for a moment, Lin Yi continued, “Just that, it’s really not appropriate to not sit in this position. Mother, when I look at Consort Hui, my body is getting bigger, and I think that if she sits next to me, I can also take care of her.”
Although these dishes were not considered very satisfying, but they were still indispensable to Su Mu, who was eating alone and looked like two people at the moment. For the entire day, she did not eat, and with the opportunity she had brought with her, to be pushed around and sent to that place, how could she be happy in her heart?
But, since Lin Yi had already opened her mouth, she took a few steps forward and knelt down, and said to Lin Yi: “Thank you, your majesty.”
Her Majesty had always regarded Su Mu as a thorn in her side. Su Mu felt that the way she used the chopsticks was not right, and then he felt that he was a bit greedy. He ate too many of one dish, and even after a long time, he still hadn’t managed to eat anything satisfying.
Lin Yi thought that Su Mu did not have much appetite, so he pushed the meat soup to the side and said to her, “Consort Hui, you are getting weaker now, so it is better for you to eat more.”
Su Mu did not like to eat West Lake beef soup. She just wanted to live her life comfortably and eat some delicious foods, but she did not dare to say those words.
Therefore, for this whole meal, Su Mu ate without knowing the taste, and without knowing what he ate, but he mechanically placed the dishes in the bowl into his mouth. Very clearly, Su Mu was bored.
Just at this time, something happened. A few people who looked like they were working in a theatre walked in front of Lin Yi.
Su Mu originally thought that after going through the assassination attempt by Lin Yi, the song would no longer continue. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi only turned his head around and said to Su Mu, “Consort Hui, how is it? This juggling group was specially prepared for you by us. We know that you have always loved liveliness, and it should be thought of as joy when you finally leave the palace! ”
As Su Mu looked at these people, he couldn’t help but recall the time he came to the Jade Dragon Temple. The way he used the Jade Dragon Temple to entertain his guests was this juggling?
Su Mu didn’t know if she should be happy or not, she only wanted to rest, and wasn’t interested in all this at all. Now, seeing Lin Yi’s face filled with happiness and the pleased expression of his carefully prepared gifts, she forced out a smile, and said to Lin Yi, “Many thanks your majesty, this is really very good.”
Su Mu groaned in his heart, since this juggling was so beautiful, why did the surrounding people only stare at him?
Su Mu felt that these imperial concubines were giving him malicious looks and wished that he could return as soon as possible. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have come here today.
After doing this, Su Mu’s heart was gradually displeased, the crew was performing a show, and then he said: “Alright, alright, what the hell is this? Are you sure it’s the best crew in the Shangjing City? ”
Although there was a hint of fear on his face, in the end, he still remained calm. Standing up, he said to Lin Yi, “Your majesty, today’s performance was all chosen by us, if you and the other mistresses are not satisfied, we can still perform a few other things?”
The empress dowager had not said a word since she entered this awkward situation. It was just that she sat there and ate without saying a word, occasionally making conversation with Lin Zifen who was beside her.
