zChapter 1029 - He Cannot Be Alone His Whole Life Because Of You (1/2)

Imperial Concubine Yun’s pondering of these embroidery pieces caused Xiangrong’s tense nerves to relax instantly. What are these things? Why did it feel like she was possessed by Xuan Tianyi? When that guy first saw these novel embroidery samples, he also said this.

Therefore, Xiangrong took the initiative to explain, she told Imperial Concubine Yun: “What is embroidered are European countryside buildings. These buildings are different from ours, they are not built from wood but from stone. And the picture below, a person is sewn on it, her name is Mona Lisa, a foreigner.”

“Foreigner?” Imperial Concubine Yun thought for a while: “Qian Zhou? Gu Shu? Those foreigners?”

Xiangrong shook her head: “Not so close, they are foreigners very very far away from us, on the other side of the ocean.” After saying this, she looked at Feng Yuheng and said: “All these patterns were provided by Second Sister, she probably saw them from that Persian Master, right?”

“That’s right! I saw them there.” This was the explanation Feng Yuheng gave everyone: “On the other side of the ocean, the people there look different from us, their architecture is also different from ours and speak a different language. I have never been there before, this is what my Master told me. Even these pictures were what he had left for me at that time. I said that I wanted to bring Xiangrong over to see Imperial Concubine Mother and thought that Xiangrong would think that she would be unable to take out anything as a gift, so Daughter-in-law decided to have her bring these embroidery pieces over to relieve Imperial Concubine Mother’s boredom and see something new.”

“Hm.” Imperial Concubine Yun nodded, “It is rather novel.” After saying this, she looked up and stared at Xiangrong for a long time, and suddenly threw out a sentence: “You’re a good child, but good children do not only hide behind others. If you like our Hua-er, then pursue him! Sometimes, there is nothing wrong with the girl taking some initiative, don’t learn from those wishy-washy embroidered pillows, they won’t amount to anything. Look at your second sister, when she got along with our Ming-er, wasn’t she rather proactive?”

(T/N: Embroidered pillows refer to people who only look attractive but are useless in everything else.)

Is that so? Fu Yuheng facepalmed, it was that guy who was proactive, alright? At most, she was considered not too reserved, but it did not really seem to match the definition of proactive! However, she was really curious, “How did Imperial Concubine Mother know that Xiangrong likes Seventh Brother?”

“Only idiots would be unable to tell.” Imperial Concubine Yun started to display the carefree attitude of “Brother Tian”, and even crossed her legs in a manly way. She pointed at Xiangrong and told Feng Yuheng: “Look at her, look at her, she has been showing a love-struck face ever since she walked in. Her cheeks are red, her face is bright, her eyes are shining, she totally looks like a girl in love who is going to shyly meet the man she fancies. That love can’t be directed at me, right? And to you, even less so! Then the only possibility left is that she has set her sights on Hua-er.”

“Oh.” Feng Yuheng nodded, “Imperial Concubine Mother’s observations are really detailed.”

Xiangrong listened to these two people discuss this kind of embarrassing topic as if she did not exist and really wanted to find a hole to hide into! At the same time, she rewrote her understanding of the existence known as Imperial Concubine Yun. Was she really an Imperial Concubine from the Imperial Palace? Why did she feel like she was with Xuan Tiange and the others instead? Could it be that the people who were related to her Second Sister have that kind of personality?

“Sigh!” As she was thinking, she heard Imperial Concubine Yun sigh and speak softly: “Many things have occurred in the capital recently, Hua-er hasn’t been able to eat well. Third young girl, since you’re here, don’t make a wasted trip, giving me a gift is not important. Mostly importantly, you need to attend to the person you like. Can you make desserts?”

Xiangrong nodded in a daze and heard Imperial Concubine Yun talk again: “Then why are you still sitting here? I might be his mother, but for these matters, I would not be able to interfere even if I am his mother, he needs to be willing to do it. Therefore, it’s useless even if you spend time with me here, if you have the skill, go to the kitchen and study. Make some delicious desserts to give them to Hua-er. Settle his stomach, then you can capture his heart! Understand?”

The corners of Xiangrong’s mouth twitched when she heard this, why does it feel like this mother was selling off her child? Imperial Concubine Yun sold the Seventh Prince just like that? Xiangrong sighed, filled with emotion, the dessert strategy was really a little too crude, but at least…… at least his mother did not reject her! She felt a little agitated, stood up quickly and bowed, saying: “Many thanks to Your Highness Imperial Concubine Yun.” Then she turned around and headed outside.

Feng Yuheng was awestruck, wondering if Imperial Concubine Yun’s personality made it easy to influence others. Under Imperial Concubine Yun’s strong instigation, Xiangrong reverted to her behaviour when she was with Xuan Tianyi. At this moment, Imperial Concubine Yun added on: “Don’t make them too sweet! Hua-er does not like to eat sweet things, I also do not like eating sweet things!”

Feng Yuheng facepalmed once again, “Imperial Concubine Mother, are you the one who wants to eat, or is it Seventh Brother who wants to eat?”
