C297 Unrelenting Yun Rou (2/2)

As she thought, Mu Ru Yue rose and said respectfully to the empress dowager, ”Esteemed empress dowager understands that I'm already a member of the imperial household after marrying the prince. If I really get something valuable, then I'll naturally have to offer it.

But that day, I did indeed only have one serving of wine. ”Because I like brewing wine, I didn't send this recipe out.” Mu Ru Yue's attitude was extremely obedient.

”Brewing wine?” The empress dowager pondered for a moment before smiling. ”In another month, it'll be my birthday. The empress asked who I'd like to choose for my wine. Since Seventh Imperial Concubine knows how to brew wine, then let Seventh Imperial Concubine come.”

The empress dowager's words stunned everyone present. And then he began to gloat.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she became even more depressed. She knew that something bad was going to happen! This kind of thing, it was hard to get along with!

But no matter how unwilling she felt, Mu Ru Yue still said, ”Yes, as long as Esteemed Empress Dowager doesn't mind.”

”You brewing wine is a part of your heart, how could I dislike you? In comparison, since you've comprehended an ancient scripture, your chess skills must be outstanding, right? ” Her Majesty continued.

What was this old woman trying to do now?

Mu Ru Yue was suspicious, but she still replied, ”I just understand a little.”

”Why are you being so courteous, Seventh Princess?” I haven't seen many who can decipher an ancient scripture. ” Princess Yun Rou said.

There was a hint of ill intent in his words. She seemed to have lost her patience over this matter.

However, Mu Ru Yue could guess the reason. Princess Yun Rou had already paid a large price in order to obtain the treasure map from her.

When he saw that she didn't admit it, he even used magnolia flowers to play chess with her. Unexpectedly, the mechanisms in that place could only be used once.

If he used it again, the result would just be a waste.

Plus, Jin Chai's incident not too long ago. That golden hairpin was even sent to the auction by that bastard Chen Qing. When it entered the ears of the princess, naturally, it was unable to remain calm.

As she thought about it, Mu Ru Yue felt slightly more relaxed. She looked at the princess and replied calmly, ”I was just lucky.”

”Your royal father sent a girl who is well versed in chess to This Dowager. Since the Imperial Advisor hasn't arrived yet, why don't you compete with me, the Seventh Princess? If you win, I will spare you that girl Wuyou's confession.

If you lose, then give me your recipe. ” Her Majesty spoke up.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, her heart was moved. She looked at Princess Wuyou, who was standing beside her, not saying a word. However, when she heard those words, her eyes lit up.

Although she had come to this dynasty and entered this body, she did not understand the thoughts of the people of this era.

To her, repentance was only disgust. After all, it wasn't wrong. But in Wuyou's eyes, it was probably an insult, right?

After all, she was a member of the Jadeite Sect.

With that in mind, Mu Ru Yue replied, ”Many thanks to Esteemed Empress Dowager for her benevolence.”

”You haven't won yet.” The Empress said, glancing at Aunt Yu. Aunt Yu then went to the inner room.

Soon, a lady dressed in white slowly walked out. She gave off a desolate feeling.

Standing here, it was as if a goddess had descended into the mortal world.

However, these were not the important points. The important point was that she had seen this woman at Nalan Yanran's house not long ago!

It was the person who had used the name of the Gate of Heaven to go to the Nalan clan and deliver the medicine for Nalan Ruo Ming. He was also the one who wanted to win over Nalan Ruan.

They were obviously from the gates of heaven, so why did they suddenly turn into the empress dowager's maidservants? A dark shadow was cast over Mu Ru Yue's heart. In her eyes, this was not a good thing. There were two possibilities for this woman to appear here.

One was that she would get something through the Empress Dowager. Secondly, she was already certain that the treasure map was in her hands.

If that happened, he would be in danger.

Judging from the current situation, the second method was more likely.

”This servant Han Lian greets the wangfei. Wangfei's … This really makes one feel good. ” The woman bowed slightly, but the latter part of her words made Mu Ru Yue sigh with emotion. This woman seemed to have recognized her.
