Yang Zizhi carried the Marquis of Loyalty, and still relied on his status as the future National Uncle to bring people to buy and snatch, and bought a lot of old food and even new food from the common folk. Of course, the price was the extremely low price of old food, causing the citizens of the capital to complain, causing the world to become chaotic?
The wheel streaked across the snow, leaving behind a few disorderly and orderly traces as it headed in the direction it went …
Mu Rousang woke up before dawn and slept soundly with the warm pyrethrum in the carriage again.
"Young Mistress, we've arrived at the palace gates."
Aunt Liu shook her awake and said in a low voice: "From now on, Young Mistress will have to walk to the Crown Princess's Deqing Palace."
Mu Rousang laughed and replied: "Aunt, don't worry, although I am not as diligent as those little girls, I still have the ability to move around."
Mu Rousang was only at the sixth stage of Ang, so she had to walk to Deqing Palace with Su Waner, a seventh stage genius, hand in hand for more than two hours.
After getting off the carriage, Guo Gonggong donned a thick cloak made from grey rat skin and waited at the entrance of the palace. When he saw the three people get off the carriage, he immediately went up and smiled: "Madam Rong Lu, Yangan, Yang You, the Crown Princess had already arranged for you to meet them yesterday night, and had asked me to welcome you with respect."
Guo Gonggong was naturally not as strong as his, but he called himself a servant in front of her.
The Aunt Liu supported Mu Rousang as they walked behind the Madam Hou, and right in front of Su Waner, was the center position.
She walked into the palace step by step, her heart filled with curiosity, agitation, and apprehension.
White jade bricks, red walls, bright yellow glazed tiles, and palace maids and eunuchs, all of whom walked quickly along the base of the wall, their heads lowered and their feet light.
"Young Mistress, don't be afraid. The masters of the various palaces are extremely friendly, and they are also a kind person." Aunt Liu supported her as she walked. Her voice was not loud, but it just happened to reach the ears of the three people around her.
The Madam Hou sneered in his heart. Su Waner looked at the green figure in front of him with an unreadable gaze, but continued to smile without saying a word.
After the Guo Gonggong heard this, he laughed: "Liu Wanshi is right. Although the princess consort looks a little more dignified, she treats the servants extremely well.
Mu Rousang's gaze moved, what does that mean? Yang Juan Er might not be the young child of the past anymore in this palace, but she was secretly mustering her strength. No matter how hard she tried to hide or conceal herself, a calamity would always befall her.
The Deqing Palace was different from the manors outside. The palace maids shuttled back and forth, but all of them were holding their breath, quietly working with their heads lowered, not daring to overstep.
The Aunt Liu held her hands tight. Mu Rousang slightly moved her brows, then shook her head at her, signalling her not to be too nervous.
It looks like Yang Juan Er had really changed a lot!
The incoming Aunt Liu was different from the time she was in the palace. She was more strict and calm, with a face as hard as Aunt Liu's.
"Madam, you're finally here! "We, the princess consort, have been shouting so much this morning. We have already sent our eunuch out to look for a few times."
Aunt Liu did not seem to recognize Aunt Liu. Upon seeing her expression, she became agitated and looked around, but did not say anything.
"Aunt Liu, is my daughter, oh, is the princess consort alright?"
Madam Hou tightly grabbed onto Aunt Liu's arm and asked anxiously.
Mu Rousang looked at Aunt Liu, feeling that there were hidden meanings behind her words. However, it was clear that Aunt Liu did not plan to continue.
Aunt Liu replied, "The princess consort is fine."
Then, he went over to Mu Rousang and Su Waner to greet them, and smiled: "Yangan and Yang Qi are both good people, the princess consort is already waiting inside, please follow this servant to the hall."
Mu Rousang noticed that the Aunt Liu's clothes were not as similar to the Aunt Liu's as the other palace maids'.
Aunt Liu seemed to have noticed her doubt, and when no one was looking, she quietly said: "Aunt Liu and servant are the same servants."
The Aunt Liu led the group to the hall, and said softly as they walked: "The Crown Prince stayed in Deqing Palace last night, and upon learning that Madam would be coming, he ordered the royal kitchen to prepare some delicious pastries. He also ordered the three of you to accompany the Crown Princess to eat lunch today."
He entered the hall, passed through a large screen of peonies and riches, and then followed the Aunt Liu to the right into the Eastern Warm Pavilion.
The white jade floor was warm and exquisite, the Golden Crane's mouth was filled with curls of fragrant mist, and a mane of silk was gently dragging on the white jade floor. On it were silver threads outlining a rich peony, and Yang Juan Er was currently dressed in a golden phoenix silk robe with five colored gems embedded into her tail.
"Mother!" Yang Juan Er's eyes flashed with joy, just as she was about to stand up and pounce towards Madam Hou, an aunt by her side coughed lightly, then gently held her down, signalling her to pay attention to her side.
"Madam Jung Lu, hurry and greet the crown prince's consort." Aunt Liu reminded him.
Mu Rousang followed along from the main stream and paid respects to the current Crown Prince's successor, the former Yang Juan Er.
"Hurry up and show my mother."
Yang Juan Er instructed with a smile, he did not look simple in the slightest, but his eyes were full of calculations.
Su Waner was unhappy, seeing that Mu Rousang had already walked quickly to stand behind Madam Hou, she could only throw off her handkerchief and stand together with him.
Yang Juan Er wanted to talk to his family, so he naturally did not allow his palace maids to listen to him, and indicated for everyone to withdraw. He then picked up his handkerchief and wiped away his tears, and said resentfully: "Mother, daughter was thinking about you early on, but how could you be so heartless? Your daughter has been in this damned place for half a year already, why have you only come to see me now?"
Su Waner was afraid that the Madam Hou would say something unpleasant, and laughed: "Crown Princess, it's not that we don't want to hand over the badges, but since the capital is currently under strict regulations, without the identity token from the Department of Public Affairs, we wouldn't dare to walk around randomly."
Madam Hou did not know about this matter. Originally, Su Waner was furious after snatching the words, but after hearing this she asked: "How did it become like this outside?"
Yang Juan Er was even more confused by his mother's question, "Mother, how long has it been since you last went out? You are the mother-in-law of the crown prince, aren't you going to come running after me? Others can't even curry favor with you! "
Madam Hou thought, she really wanted to show off, but Marquis of Loyalty had surrounded her in the courtyard and was not willing to go anywhere.
"Humph!" You still resent me, but you didn't know that I … "
"Crown Princess, you are the flesh that has fallen from your mother's body. Since you are in the palace, it is extremely difficult for me to see you again. My mother was unable to eat and sleep at home, so she had to set up a small buddhist hall at home and recited prayers and blessings to my wife day and night to help her give birth to some rare children. Mother, don't you think so?"
Su Waner timely interrupted Madam Hou's words that he wanted to spit out, and then smiled to show his loyalty.
If it was in the past, Yang Juan Er's words would definitely fool her, but now, he saw her eyes open wide, the cold light in her eyes piercing straight towards Su Waner.
He said coldly, "I have forgotten that my sister-in-law is helping my mother with her household affairs!"
It was just a few casual words, but Su Waner trembled from head to toe.
"Princess Consort, I am only helping mother with some trivial matters. Furthermore, this matter was ordered by my father, if I were to reject it as his first wife, it would be against the rules of filial piety, and I will not be as at home as Third Sister-in-Law."
In order to save himself, Su Waner had used this as an excuse to cause trouble. She knew that the person Yang Juan Er hated the most was Mu Rousang.
Sure enough, Yang Juan Er's eyes flashed with a trace of pain, which was wiped away by the hatred that filled the sky.
"Hmph, sister-in-law, how have you been?"
Mu Rousang sighed in her heart. If she did not have Su Waner's guidance today, she would not have been able to avoid this disaster.
"That's good. It's not as good as enjoying wealth and prosperity in the palace like the princess consort."
Her eyes were calm and gentle, as if she had only seen a familiar stranger when she saw Yang Juan Er, without a single ripple.
The more calm she was, the more unhappy Yang Juan Er felt in her heart, and the more she missed Mu Jinzhi, the more the flames of resentment burned until her eyes turned red. There were clearly four people sitting and chatting in the room, but other than a question and a answer, the entire hall was quiet.
Even if Mu Rousang used her toes to think, she knew that Yang Juan Er would probably want to swallow her alive.
"Hmph, Sister-in-law is someone who knows how to enjoy himself. Sister-in-law, you can't be envious."
Su Waner laughed awkwardly: "Sigh, who asked me to be the first wife. Mother is already old, father's meaning is that I am afraid that she will be exhausted."
Yang Juan Er swept a glance at her, a look of disdain flashed past his eyes, and his gaze landed on her again.
"Eldest Sister-in-Law, no matter how urgent our family matters are, it's time to add little young master Jin to our Yang Family."
At the moment, Su Waner was the one who could not bear to hear these words, and resentment rose in her heart. Seeing that she was unhappy, Yang Juan Er turned his head to look at Mu Rousang and said: "Sister-in-law has also gotten married for more than a year already, why don't you see that stomach of yours? Although Third Brother is not born of my mother, he could still be considered my blood brother.
Mu Rousang's teeth itched and she smiled slightly. "The princess consort's teachings are right. I am even more envious that the princess consort doesn't need to worry about the little prince."
Yang Juan Er's complexion immediately lost all color. She had already been in the palace for half a year, yet her stomach had not moved the slightest bit, and the crown prince did not urge her either.
Although the emperor's eldest grandson's family was defeated, that was only in the Madam Hou, and the Liu family wasn't affected much.
Who knows? Did the Crown Prince intend to play the art of wielding power so that the Emperor's eldest grandson could show it to him in the future?
