Fragrant crabs, fine wine, fragrant flowers, the bright moon in the sky, and the sound of bamboo in the distance. They ate to their heart's content and chatted quite happily.
Actually, Murong Yu wasn't really that talkative. He was basically talking to Lin Yihai and the two madams, but they were all talking about flowers and plants as well as delicious food. Murong Yu's consideration towards Yun Shengyue also surprised Lin Yihai and the others, but it didn't seem like it was out of the ordinary.
Nothing happened that night, and the guests were all happy. The moon was a little late, so they went back to their respective rooms to rest.
The next day, after breakfast, Yun Sheng and Murong Yu went out for a walk. They met a few ladies in the garden. The women were chatting about clothes and spices.
After chatting for a while, it was true that Yunsheng Yue did not like having too many people around her. Although everyone's faces were filled with envy as they talked about how much the prince doted on his wife, it was boring to listen to them. Thankfully, the first wife had very good eyes.
When Yunsheng saw that Murong Yu and Hei Yi were still talking, he walked to a nearby stone table and wanted to sit down. However, he found a folded piece of paper on the table, and with a glance, he saw the words' Princess, please open it '.
He looked around and saw that there was no one left. No one knew who had seized the opportunity to leave the paper there, but Yun Shengyue opened it out of curiosity. There were only two sentences written on it, "If wangfei is happy, isn't she worried about your mother's whereabouts at all?"
When she had just woken up, Murong Yu had simply said that she was his wife. Back then, he hadn't even revealed his identity as a prince, which was why she had called him 'hubby'.
She told her that she was the daughter of Prime Minister Yun. She married into the palace last winter, and when the two of them went out to play this time, they met with robbers and were startled by the horses. Only then did she fall and injure herself. She didn't doubt Murong Yu's words at all, because he was really too good to her. From marrying a husband to getting such a husband, she shouldn't have thought too much about it.
But mother? Shouldn't her mother be at the Residence of Yun? What did this note mean? It was obvious that it was for her to see. Did something happen to her mother? Yun Shengyue walked towards Murong Yu with a puzzled expression. She immediately realized that the moment she came over, Murong Yu and company would stop talking and Black One would quickly leave as well. Could it be that her husband was hiding something from her?
"What's wrong? Are you having an unhappy chat with Madam Lin? " Yun Shengyue had everything written on her face, so Murong Yu could tell at a glance that she had something on her mind.
"No." Yun Sheng hesitated for a moment before he said hesitantly, "I, I feel a little homesick."
Murong Yu's body stiffened as he went forward to hug her and asked: "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly want to go home? "
"It's been two months since we came out, right? How long has it been since I last saw my mother? She doesn't know if she missed me. " Although she felt very happy in the past few days, she was also very vexed at times. Everything in the past was empty, but she could not recall a single thing about her parents.
Murong Yu felt a twinge of pain in his heart when he saw the gloomy expression on Yun Sheng's face. He also felt uncomfortable. Was he being too selfish? However, he was truly afraid of her grief. He was afraid that she would hate him and ignore him. However, even until now, Madam Yun was still in the same boat, so he was still very angry.
Actually, he was more worried than anyone else about what would happen to Madam Yun. He hoped that she could live on and heard that Yun Chengling had treated her well, so as long as he could find her, he could bring her to the palace.
Something had really happened to Lady Ruoyun, what would happen to Yue'er after she recovered her memories? No! He could not let her go, he could not let that agreement go to hell! He could no longer bear to see Yue Er leave her side. Just the thought of that scene was enough to make his heart clench.
"Husband, my hand …" Yun Sheng Yue's shout woke Murong Yu up. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his hand was hurting from using too much strength.
"I'm sorry …" Murong Yu quickly let go of his hand and gently pulled it close to his face to look at it carefully. Luckily, it was just a little bit red.
Yun Sheng said with concern, "Husband, you..."
He shouldn't keep Madam Yun a secret from her, but if he told her, it would only make her worry. He had already sent out large numbers of his elites to search the manor, and it would be difficult to find her if she was placed under house arrest. After all, they couldn't search the manor as they wished.
"Yue Er, there's something …"
"Your Highness, Princess, so the two of you are here." Murong Yu wanted to explain the situation of the Yun family, but Lin Yi Hai brought Seventh Madame over with a smile on his face. "This Seventh Madame is skilled in cutting clothes, and it just so happens that a few new pieces of fabric have been dyed in the Lin family. She wanted to see if Imperial Concubine would be interested in making some new clothes, so she was too embarrassed to ask, so I brought them over."
As expected, Seventh Madame was delicate and pretty, much more bashful than the other wives he had met this morning. However, her eyes were filled with sincerity. When she saw that Yun Shengyue and Murong Yu were both stunned, she softly said, "Princess, if it's more convenient for you to wear men's clothes while you're outside, I'll make some for you. I can make two more for you."
Murong Yu did not reply. He only looked at Yun Shengyue, who was still dressed in male attire, and asked for her opinion. When Yun Shengyue saw how gracious Seventh Madam was, she immediately suppressed her puzzled smile and said, "I can tell that the manor lord and the few other madams have extraordinary clothes. I even heard that the manor lord's embroidery skills are superb, but it turns out to be the work of Seventh Madam.
"Go and take a look with Seventh Madame and make some clothes. Don't get tired." Murong Yu was already very happy when he heard Yun Shengyue's words. He didn't want her to tire herself out.
Seeing the look of anticipation in Seventh Madam's eyes, Yun Sheng could only nod and leave with her. He heard Lin Yihai behind him say with a clear laugh, "I have a request. Does Your Highness have time to move to the study for a chat?"
He was clearly the one who had something to do with the prince, yet he dragged Seventh Madame to lure her away. For some unknown reason, Yun Shengyue felt somewhat depressed in her heart. In recent days, both she and Murong Yu had become like a couple, inseparable and even though she had some interest in Seventh Madam's delicate hands, it was still better for her to stay by his side.
"Princess, what do you think of these two brocades?" Unknowingly, Yunsheng had already followed Seventh Wife into a bamboo building. Two pieces of fine brocade of different colors were draped over a bamboo stand. They swayed with the wind as they emitted brilliance in all directions, immediately attracting Yunsheng's attention.
Among these two pieces of satin, one of them had a silver glow to it, and the other was a sapphire blue. As he reached out to touch it, the soft and silky smooth skin was like that of a woman's. The rich and powerful Lin Clan armor was not without reason. Just looking at the flowers, trees and silks were enough for him.
"How beautiful, the Lin Residence truly lives up to its reputation." Yun Sheng did not say much. Although she did not know much about cloth and was somewhat astounding when she saw the two pieces of cloth, she was still a princess and could not act like a woman in the countryside.
Seventh Madame laughed. "If wangfei likes men's clothing, this blue one can be made into it. With wangfei's good skin, she'll definitely be dazzling in a dress made of pink and satin."
"Look at what you're saying, it makes my heart itch. How about this, I want to use this blue set to make a set for the prince and me, a separate style for men and women. But the collar, sleeves and belt are embroidered with the same kind of color, what does Seventh Madame think?"
Seventh Madame thought for a moment before clapping her hands. "Princess is still as intelligent as she is. If the two of them wear these clothes at the same time, they'll look more like an immortal couple. As for this pink concubine wanting to personally cut a piece of clothing for her, I wonder if she can trust me."
"If I can't even trust Seventh Madam's cooking skills, then I'm really blind." The clothes that Lin Yihai and the other wives wore yesterday and today were extremely exquisite. They complemented each other and even highlighted each person's style. Presumably, it was all because of this Seventh Madam.
Seventh Wife said, "Princess is too serious. Besides these two pieces of new satin that haven't even been seen yet, there are some that are not bad. Princess can also take a look. There are also some blueprints that I have drawn. If Princess likes them, I can make more."
"Let me take a look. There's no need to do so much. Prince and I won't disturb you for too long. We can't trouble Seventh Madam too much." Although she did like it, she had a feeling that she would not be able to achieve anything without merit.
Seventh Madame handed over a bound book and said, "Princess, you don't have to worry. Take a look first, if there are any who like it, just say so. We have a special embroidery lady at home.
Yun Sheng suddenly felt that his understanding of Seventh Madame was somewhat wrong. He had initially thought that she was a shy little girl, but when it came to fabrics, clothes and embroidery, she seemed like a shrewd merchant. Perhaps this was something special about her.
She felt that even if she did not lose her memories, she had probably never seen such a beautiful design before. Even the color had improved, and after looking through it, there were indeed quite a few who liked it. In the end, she chose another two autumn-style dresses because looking at these beautiful clothes, she secretly thought that when she wore them, the prince's expression would be so delighted that he could not shift his gaze away.
The more they chatted, the more their temperaments matched, and she also discovered a small secret. Other than displaying her culinary skills, Seventh Madam was extremely restrained of her own personality, and most people would see her in the same way she had when they first saw her. However, after spending more than an hour with her, Yun Shengyue felt that not only was she intelligent, but her true personality was also very lively. However, why did someone conceal their personality have nothing to do with her, so she did not question.
"Seventh Madam, Miss Qin has a small problem. I'd like to ask you to go over and see if you can fix it." After choosing their clothes, Yun Shengyue and Seventh Madam prepared to return. Halfway there, a girl dressed in green came over and reported to them.
Seventh Madame hesitated before saying, "How could Xiao Qin make a mistake?" Let her think of a way herself. I have an esteemed guest here, so how can I leave? "
"Seventh Madame, Miss Qin is already crying from anxiety. That is the main thing in the manor. If the manor lord blames her, I'm afraid Miss Qin won't be able to stay in the manor. Then she …" It seemed that she had a good relationship with Miss Qin.
Seeing Seventh Madam looking at him and knowing that she wanted to help but could not abandon her, he said, "It looks like this little girl is about to cry. Seventh Madam, you should go over and take a look. This place is not far from my room. I'll walk back by myself."
"Alright, please forgive me for being inexperienced." Seventh Madame said apologetically as she turned around to instruct the little girl, "Ping'er, accompany the wangfei back. Treat her well."
"Yes, thank you Seventh Madame, thank you esteemed wangfei." The little girl's crying face immediately turned pale and turned around rather quickly.
Murong Yu still hadn't returned. Yunsheng sat for a while, then took out the slip of paper from his waist and looked at it again, before starting to let his imagination run wild. After a while, when there was still no one around, he walked out of the room, and when he saw the emerald green eyes on the side of the house, he walked over. Before he entered the bamboo forest, he heard a conversation behind a cluster of dense bamboo.
"I think this Lin Yi Hai must have a request for his wife to be so courteous." It sounded like Black Thirteen's voice.
"The Lin Clan has produced quite a few talented individuals in the past. Their evaluation of the Lin Clan is pretty good, just trying to curry favor with our Prince can be considered as having good taste." The other didn't recognize him.
Black Thirteen laughed and said: "That's true. The current people only know how to curry favor with the crown prince and that new nobleman, Duke Ming. Actually, smart people don't get involved in that mess. If we don't do it well, we'll be met with great misfortune in the future."
"Our lord is too low-key. He only knows how to accompany an imperial concubine every day. He's left behind a lot of important matters as well."
"What do you know!?" Your Highness, you've worked so hard for so many years, so it's not easy to relax for a few days. "
"But there are some things that you can't not do. Jincheng has to be returned, and there's still the matter with Madam Yun. I'm afraid the odds aren't looking good. If the wangfei finds out, she might be very sad."
Don't talk so much. There's no news from Madam Yun and second brother are in such a bad shape. Since the day we haven't seen them, there's still hope.
He had not gone far when he felt something flash in front of him and he naturally dodged it. He saw a ball shaped ball of words fall to the ground after colliding with the fake mountain. She looked around but still did not see anyone.
When she saw that Yun Shengyue could no longer bear to stay any longer, she turned around. Just as she was about to find Black Thirteen to bring her to Murong Yu, she saw Murong Yu walking back quickly towards her.
"Master, I want to return to Jincheng." Yun Shengyue shouted straight at Murong Yu.
Murong Yu was shocked and hurriedly went forward and asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you suddenly returning to Jincheng, you might be thinking of going to the south. "
Yun Cangyue handed over the note in her hand. "Madam Yun is my mother, right? What happened to my mother? "
"Yue Er, don't be in such a hurry. Listen to me." "Yue Er, promise me. I was afraid that you'd worry and so I didn't tell you. Your mother was taken away while she was recuperating in Jiang-Nan Wind City, so I sent people to search for her. This time, you weren't going out to play.
"So it turns out that something has really happened to my mother. Why didn't you tell me?" I … "I actually only want to play …" Yun Shengyue cried out in distress as her eyes turned red.
Murong Yu embraced her and said with a trembling voice, "Don't blame me, I didn't hide this from you on purpose. Because of your mother's disappearance, you've already gotten sick, and you're so worried that you can't even eat. After this incident, you've forgotten about the past and your troubles. I really don't want to see you feel bad, so I didn't tell you.
"Then, is what on this paper true?" Yun Shengyue took out the first piece of paper from her waist and continued, "This is someone that placed it on the stone table beside me this morning. The second piece of paper was thrown in front of me using inner force. I did not even see who it was. I wonder if that's true. "
"It's good that there's news, we didn't have any clues at all earlier. Now that there's news, I'll let the dark guards know and go investigate immediately." Sigh, their hopes were real, but this way they would have no choice but to return to Jincheng.
Although that person was a little conceited, he was still quite open and upright, and should not do such a mystifying thing. If it was someone from the Jin City, then their journey would always be under the attention of those with experience.
"Husband …" Can we go back and see it? " Although she could not recall anything about the Residence of Yun at the moment, she was still extremely nervous when she thought of her mother. If she were to calculate that her mother had already been gone for two to three months, how could she not be anxious?
At this point, he had no choice but to turn back. Although the news had not been confirmed, he could only turn back for the sake of An Yue'er's heart. Even though his heart was in turmoil, he could not remain calm.
"Alright, I just promised Villa Owner Lin that I will take care of a few matters today. We will leave tomorrow afternoon and I will let Black Five go first. If the news is true, you can rest assured as well."
