Wicked Prince’s Abandoned Wife - C248
Yun Ruo was not in a good mood today, so she stayed in the Pill Pavilion drinking and checking. The main reason was because she liked the plum blossoms planted here. In the past, Yuchi Xuan had planted many plum blossoms here.
She was very fond of plum blossoms, and although they had not blossomed yet, she still enjoyed sitting under the plum trees and drinking tea. This place was originally the site of the Jade Cloud Palace. In the past, Yuchi Xuan had planted the plum blossom here to please her, but Yun Ruo Lu had witnessed it for herself. However, when Yun Ruo had just transcended over, she didn’t really like plum blossoms. She didn’t like any kind of flower. There was always a saying, “If a person loves an object, it must be because of one person.” Yun Ruo Lu loved the plum blossoms because of Yuchi Chen. She often sat under the plum blossom tree and reminisced about her days at the palace.
One of the children stumbled over to Yun Ruo Lu’s side. Yun Ruo Lu looked down, and the other person was also looking at her. This was a boy around the same age as Xiang Qing. He was made of jade, had snow-white skin, red teeth, and white lips. When Yun Ruo saw this child, she felt that if this child were to grow a few more years, he would definitely become a “disaster”!
Although the child was astonished to see Yun Ruo, he had never seen such a beautiful woman. Right now, Yun Ruo was sitting under this tree, wearing only a white dress. The dress was very long, it had already reached the grass. She only had on a jade hairpin. This was something that no woman in the harem could match.
Even if Yuchi Xuan’s concubines were dressed in the same clothes as Yunruo Lu and were seated beneath the unbloomed Plum Blossom Tree, they wouldn’t have the same temperament as Yunruo Lu. Her eyes were always a little cold, yet at the same time, they were also very sad, making people feel pity for her. However, if you looked more carefully, you would realize that there was a trace of determination in her eyes. How could such a woman not cause others to glance at her.
“You are the most beloved woman of Emperor Yuchi?” Her tone of voice at such a young age wasn’t small. As soon as she got started, she directly asked Yun Ruo Lu.
Cloudjade was certain that Yuchi Xuan’s favorite definitely wasn’t her. Yun Ruo was about to speak, when she heard the voice of a sweet little girl.
“Master, master, how are we going to differentiate these medicinal plants? Brother Lan Yun has taught me many times, but I feel it’s so difficult …” Xiang Qing walked out with a pile of herbs. Right now, she looked just like a small medicine boy. She was originally wearing a set of fine silk, but Lan Yun didn’t know what was on her mind. She was determined to teach her alchemy. However, Xiangqing felt that she couldn’t have another master now that she had one.
However, Lan Yun persisted. Xiang Qing initially didn’t want to concoct pills, but after arriving at Lan Yun’s Pill Pavilion, she seemed to be enchanted by something inside. She stayed behind and let Lan Yun teach her how to concoct pills.
Yun Ruo Lu brought her here to drink some tea when she had nothing else to do. Actually, Xiangqing was now a pitiful princess. When the late emperor was still alive, she was the one he doted on the most.
The people in the imperial palace didn’t dare to do anything to her. Moreover, she relied on the previous emperor’s favor to walk unhindered in the imperial palace.
But now that Yuchi Xuan was the emperor, she began to feel a bit repulsed by Yuchi Xuan. Especially after she had personally witnessed Yuchi Jian force her father to death. How could she possibly calm down?
Yuchi Xuan didn’t seem to like his little sister as much as he did when he was free. Yun Ruo and Luoshen could imagine that Yuchi Xuan had treated the old emperor well in the past, all for the sake of showing off to the old emperor.
Because the Emperor liked Xiangqing, everyone liked her. If she had been an unfavoured princess in the past, everyone probably wouldn’t have treated her so well.
Thinking about it now, only the old emperor was the person who treated her the best. Right now, the princess was in the imperial palace. She wasn’t well-liked in the past, and was even somewhat unwelcomed by Yuchi Xuan. Therefore, as long as he was Yuchi Xuan’s concubine, he would bully her. Even if he didn’t bully her, he definitely wouldn’t do anything to her. Even some of the palace maids who held high positions treated her badly.
At that time, she didn’t know that Xiang Qing’s daily mood was unstable. In order to stop her from making a ruckus, the palace maids had even sent her some soup herbs, and after drinking these soup medicines, they had the ability to make people sleep peacefully.
Xiangqing was still a child, how could she drink these things? This was most likely Yuchi Xuan’s tacit approval, so right now, Yun Ruo Lu was Xiangqing’s only protection within the palace. No matter what, as long as she was around, the people in the palace could not bully her.
One of the palace maids originally wanted to bully Xiangqing, but she was rewarded with 20 pieces of wood by Yun Ruo Lu. She had almost lost half her life. Now, no one in the harem dared to bully Xiangqing anymore.
Yun Ruo Lu had told Xiang Qing that as long as someone treated her badly, she would definitely stand up for her.
Ever since Yun Ruo came, her sweet days had become better, and she had become happier.
Lan Yun had always treated Xiang Qing very well. Sometimes, Yun Ruo would think, could Lan Yun really only be Xiang Qing’s brother? Why did she feel that the way Lan Yun looked at Xiang Qing was a little different?
“Who are you?” The boy looked at Xiangqing and seemed to despise her for her dirty look. Originally, Xiang Qing had been wearing fine silk clothes, and what she was wearing was either other silk clothes or clothes made of only three strands of silk a year under the heavens.
Yun Ruo Lu felt that this cloth was useless here, so she got someone to make Xiangqing a set of clothes.
The material was pink in color, but it was extremely beautiful. Originally, this sort of material was able to weave golden threads. The tailors and the embroidery ladies in the palace were invited from all over the Yuchi Kingdom. Naturally, the craftsmanship was first class. The design of the clothes was personally designed by Yun Ruo Lu. Some looked like Yuchi’s palace uniform, while others didn’t. She blended in with many modern elements, and more like a cute dress. With the normal silk cloth, as well as the top of the embroidered lotus flower bud, it looked very cute.
There was even a pair of shoes made from cloth, but today, when Xiang Qing wore this set of clothes, she was coaxed by Lan Yun to look at the alchemy furnace, and the entire side of the furnace was filled with smoke. If such a precious silk clothing was stained or burned through, then it would be ruined.
Naturally, he was taken as an apprentice alchemist by the boy in front of him.
“Who am I to you? What are you doing here? Why are you bullying my master? ” When Xiangqing saw this boy who had suddenly appeared, she was certain that this child did not exist in the imperial palace. She was certain that this child was Yuchi Xuan’s child, possibly a child from outside.
If Yun Ruo Lu were to know that Xiang Qing was thinking this way, she would probably be stuffing tea out of her mouth. This Xiang Qing’s imagination was simply too plentiful.
“Who is this crown prince for you to care?” “You dirty little beggar …” The boy did not show any weakness when he saw Xiangqing’s forcefulness, and directly said to her.
In the past, Xiangqing had been doted on by the old emperor. She was already a devil in the palace, but seeing someone treat her like this, it was possible that she was Yuchi Xuan’s child. Furthermore, she became even angrier when she heard that person address her as’ Crown Prince ‘.
He then said, “Hmph …” He then placed the herb in his hand on the grass and slapped the boy in front of him. The boy had a bright red palm mark on his face. It could be seen that Xiang Qing’s attacks were quite ruthless.
Yun Ruo Lu was also shocked. She didn’t expect that Xiang Qing would be so angry.
“Damned woman! “You actually dared to hit this crown prince …” However, there were tears in the boy’s eyes. Ever since he was born, he had always been afraid of falling down while being held in someone’s hand, afraid of dying. Now that he was in Yuchi’s palace, someone had slapped him, and what was even more unexpected was that this person was a dirty little beggar.
“Just you wait …” The boy stormed out.
Yun Ruo Lu sighed in her heart and said, “Xiangqing, you’ve caused a great disaster today. You should know that the person just now was the crown prince from Gaoli.”
Upon hearing Yun Ruo’s words, Xiangqing’s head jerked upwards and she nearly crashed into the ground. She had always thought that she was Yuchi Xuan’s child, which was why she was so angry. From the looks of it, he was the crown prince from Gao Li? That is to say, she slapped the Crown Prince? And that heavy? It was as if he had just called her a beggar and he hadn’t hit her? Right now, she felt that she was truly sorry for this little crown prince who had come with such a high beauty.
This time, Yun Ruo Lu knew that Yuchi Xuan had invited Gao Li’s men to Yuchi Kingdom because he wanted to buy a war chariot from Gao Li. According to the rumors, Gao Li’s carpentry skills were extremely good, and her chariots, carriages, etc. were all made much faster than normal. That’s why he’s entertaining the Golly this time. Although Gao Li was quite remote, the royal family had brought a large number of wood craftsmen with them this time.
Prince Gao Li was the only son of Emperor Gao Li, and was rumored to be the eldest son of Emperor Gao Li. However, among these people, the crown prince was the oldest. Even if he was unhappy and disliked his sister, her fate was to be married off to another country and never return to Gaoli.
The Crown Prince might actually say that he wouldn’t let his craftsmen make the wood, which might mean that the deal with Yuchi Xuan would be a failure. If they followed up on this matter, Xiangqing might be married into another country, but this was also a good thing. The worst thing was that Yuchi Xuan would secretly execute Xiangqing, because she might marry into another country and reveal this secret.
“Master, I understand. I’ve caused a huge disaster.” Xiang Qing said.
“Alright, go wash your face with water and change your clothes.” Yun Ruo Lu sighed. At worst, she would just stand in her way.
