C316 Peony Garden of West City (1/2)

”No need. Steward, you should go back to rest as soon as possible.” In the room, Mu Ru Yue was flipping through the bamboo scroll in her hand. Her brows were knitted tightly. He said this to the outside.

Seeing that Murong Yue was insistent, the butler didn't dare to ask any further. In the end, he could only say, ”This old servant will take his leave. If you are not feeling well, talk to Yun'er.”

After he finished speaking, he went to instruct Yun'er.

Inside the room, Mu Ru Yue looked at the bamboo slips in her hand and then looked at the pile of slips by the side. She couldn't help but sigh. This was practically teasing her! She didn't know how many peonies she picked from the western part of the city, but if she recorded them down one by one, she would be exhausted to death.

He knew that the empress wouldn't simply want to tire him out a bit. Perhaps he still wanted her to be a bad person? As she thought about it, Mu Ru Yue became even more disgusted with the empress.

It was hard to imagine that someone like the Empress was actually the foster mother of the Fourth Prince. Although he had only seen the Fourth Marquis once, he looked like a free and easy person.

Mu Ru Yue thought in her heart.

Time passed by faster and faster when people didn't want it to.

Early morning, the sun had just risen.

In front of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the carriage was already prepared. This was the first time he had shown such brazenness after Mu Ru Yue was grounded. His Majesty had ordered her to face the wall not long ago.

Currently, the departure of the wangfei's carriage was different from the usual use of ordinary carriages. Naturally, it attracted the attention of many people.

The butler stood at the door and spoke to them unkindly: ”What are you looking at? When my wangfei travels, even ten of your heads won't be enough to kill her if you disturb her! ”

When these people heard this, they took a step back. However, he was still very curious.

”What happened so early in the morning? Was it worth the steward to be so angry? ” Behind him, a woman's gentle voice sounded, causing the butler's expression to change.

He turned around and greeted respectfully, ”Princess Wan.”

”Just call me Lady Wan. The identity of this princess is nothing more than His Majesty's pity. I can't afford to wait on her.” Lady Wan's voice was faint. Hearing this, the butler smiled, ”Yes, Lady Wan.”

”What happened to the butler?” Lady Wan spoke as her gaze landed on the carriage in front of the door, her face filled with worry. ”If I remember correctly, Princess Consort is being grounded.

Could it be that Big Sis has already forgotten His Majesty's restraining order? ”

”This …” The steward was extremely embarrassed and was about to explain when a slightly hoarse voice came from behind. ”Princess Wan, you're overthinking.

However, the day is approaching, and the empress has ordered me to go to the peony garden to take a look. As an imperial concubine, I should act as an example and naturally go.

What? Does Princess Wan feel that something is amiss? ”

Mu Ru Yue's voice wasn't loud, but it was quite loud in the courtyard. Lady Wan's expression changed. She looked at Mu Ru Yue and smiled. ”How could that be?” ”I'm just worried about my sister.”

”Then, thank you for your worry.” Mu Ru Yue walked to the front as she spoke. At this moment, everyone could clearly see who it was. Lady Wan was surprised.

He saw Mu Ru Yue, dressed in red, with a haggard expression and dark circles around her eyes. He looked like he hadn't slept for who knows how many days.

”Princess, what are you doing?” The butler asked carefully. As he spoke, he pointed at Mu Ru Yue's face. At this moment, Mu Ru Yue's eyes were bloodshot.

He yawned and said, ”It's nothing. I just didn't rest well. Yun'er, let's go. ” With that, he walked out of the carriage.

The butler stared blankly at Mu Ru Yue's back, his entire being in a bad mood. After Mu Ru Yue left, he shouted at the people outside, ”All of you, scram! Otherwise, the King's Manor will have to send people out!

Upon hearing these words, those who were just enjoying the show at the door all left.

After everyone had left, Lady Wan smiled, ”So this is the person you think is better than this princess? How laughable, you don't even care about your appearance when you go out and are worthy to be an imperial concubine? ”

”Whether she is worthy or not depends not on you, nor on me, but on the prince. This old servant only recognizes you as a prince. ” The butler wore a solemn expression.

”Ha!” Lady Wan's face revealed a trace of ridicule. She looked at the butler and said disdainfully, ”You think what you're guarding is the right thing to do? The Four Kingdoms' envoys were already on their way.

After the Morning Flower Festival, he was afraid that he would arrive here one after another. At that time … Everything is not something that the Seventh Prince can decide alone. ”

”You, what do you mean?” The steward looked at Lady Wan warily.

”Who knows? I only know that I have never lost before in my life. From the moment he knew his identity, he would never allow himself to lose. ”No matter what!”
