C66 (1/2)
A full bowl of soup sprinkled all over Leaves' body.
On such a cold day, he was still emitting a dense amount of hot air.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Mu Huanyun's eyes narrowed.
Cui Yun rushed over and slapped the maid. and scolded him harshly, ”You bastard! ”You can't even do such a small thing!”
The senior sister beside her quickly said, ”It has nothing to do with her. I stepped on her skirt.”
”What happened?” Mu Yanran hurried over.
Seeing Leaves sorry state, she quickly stopped Cui Yun, ”What are you still standing here for, hurry up and take Junior Sister Ye in to change.”
”No need. I'll just go back and change it, it's just a small matter. ”Farewell.” As Leaves spoke, she turned around and left.
Mu Yanran glared at Cui Yun.
Cui Yun quickly followed and said, ”Miss Ye, please let me serve you.”
Leaves didn't answer, she turned her head and glanced at Cui Yun, there was a clear warning in her eyes.
Mu Wanyun guessed that this might be a scheme of Mu Yanran's.
She thought about it and decided to go back and take a look first. She was just about to get up and leave. At this time, Xuanyuan Shou'er walked in front of Mu Wenyun.
A cup of water was passed to Mu Wan. ”Senior Sister Mu.”
Mu Yunji received the wine cup, ”Your Highness is too courteous.”
”There are a lot of people here. If senior apprentice sister Mu has nothing else, why don't you accompany me for a walk?”
Mu Wanyun knew that Xuanyuan Shishi wouldn't come looking for her for no reason. She thought that Ye Wen's cultivation level was high so there shouldn't be any problems. Furthermore, the people Mu Yanran hated were always her and Amu and Situ were also protected by their guards.
She said, ”I am honored to be invited by Your Highness.”
Ye Wen returned to his room and changed his clothes. However, the smell of soup was still lingering on her body. She found her clothes and headed straight to the bathroom.
The bathroom was empty except for the sound of running water.
Leaves lit the candle, took off her clothes to bathe in the water, warm water submerged her. Since there was no one else here, she did not go to the private bathroom but instead sat outside in the large pool.
At this time, footsteps came from outside. She opened her eyes and saw that it was Cui Yun.
”What are you doing here?”
”Miss Ye, the wangfei specially asked me to send you a change of clothes. Your dirty clothes can be given to your maidservant to change. ”
”No need. It's just a small matter, you don't have to worry about it. ”
Leaves said as she got out of the water, taking a bathrobe and putting it on.
Cui Yun slowly backed up, but before she went out, she stealthily glanced towards Ye Wen's direction.
Finally, her gaze stopped on Leaves' right arm.
Returning to her room, Mu Yanran was drinking tea and sobering up the wine.
”You're back. How's the matter?”
Cui Yun bowed and replied: ”I see it. On my right arm, it's the same as the plum blossoms you drew before, Consort Wang. The color is blue, like a tattoo. ”
”Understood, you may leave.”
Mu Wanyun and Xuanyuan Shou'er were walking outside. As the wind blew, Xuanyuan Xu'er wrapped her cloak around her and said, ”I know that Senior Sister Mu came from the Duke of Jin's estate. To be able to obtain the respect of the Jin Kingdom and become their representative in Karakorum, they must be the Jin Nation's Duke's trusted aides. ”
”Your Highness, you flatter me. I am just a chef at the Duke of Jin's estate.” To be able to take the place of the Duke of Jin's estate and enter Karakorum is truly a stroke of luck. ”
Xuanyuan Shou'er smiled, a playful look in her eyes. ”It's snowing heavily outside. Senior Sister Mu, come take a seat in my courtyard.”
Xuanyuan Shou'er's courtyard had been renovated by her, and the floor was covered with land dragons. It was exceptionally warm. But land dragons cost a lot.
I can tell that the youngest princess of Da Xia Empire is very favored.
”It really is as warm as spring.”
”Senior Sister Mu, don't joke with me. The Da Xia Empire is located in the south. Snow isn't common in winter. It's extremely cold for me to be here.”
When they entered the room, Xuanyuan Shishi had changed into thin clothes. She sat in front of the tea table and personally washed her hands to make tea.
Mu Yunji drank a cup and a sweet fragrance assaulted his nostrils. He did not expect that Princess Xuanyuan, who lived like a prince, would also know how to drink tea. However, she didn't bring him here just to have a sip of tea, did she?
”Is there something Your Highness needs?”
”Senior Sister Mu, look at what you're saying.” To be honest, I specially invited you here today because I have something on my mind. ”
”Your Highness, please speak your mind.”
Xuanyuan Shou'er took out a brocade box from the side of the tea table. Inside the box was a letter. She took out the letter and passed it to Mu Wanyun.
The letter was sealed with fire paint, and on the envelope was the picture of the dragon. It was the totem of the Great Qin Nation. And only the aristocrats of the Great Qin Nation could use that kind of paper.
”This is?”
”Senior Sister Mu has always been smart. You'll know the origin of this thing better than I do.” ”This is only a small part of my heart, and I sincerely hope that the Duke of Jin can understand this.”
Mu Wan smiled, ”Of course, I don't have to worry about that.”
After bidding farewell to Xuanyuan Shou'er, Mu Yun returned to her courtyard. Seeing that the light in Leaves' room was still on, she knocked on the door to check on her. After confirming that she was alright, she returned to her room.
Situ Qian was still sleeping, while Amu was still waiting for Mu Wan to come back.
