Chapter 253 Lazy Cat Reincarnation
"Mo Yu is quite pitiful. His mother passed away not long ago. According to the rules, one cannot get married within three years of being in mourning. But Emperor Dongli favors Mo Yu and wants to give him the best! For him, all rules are no rules!"
"Sister, am I the best?"
"Of course! By marrying into this country, you'll have the backing of an entire nation. Xipan's goal is to form an alliance with Dongli, and you are your father's favorite daughter. To show their sincerity, they proposed this marriage! If Nanyue breaks the peace in the future, the chances of victory for both countries are greater than fighting alone."
Nalan Lianyi knew Mo Yu before; he had already married a princess…
"Sister, why does Emperor Dongli favor the Seventh Prince? He already has a princess consort. Although the official document states that I will also be a princess consort if I marry into the emperor, I am the one who comes later. Dongli still has unmarried princes..."
An unmarried prince? Yang Jianwu first thought of Mo Ye. This girl's personality was actually quite good match for Brother Ye, but state affairs were not her decision.
"Mo Yu is Consort Qi's son. Consort Qi is a thorn in Emperor Dongli's side; removing her is too painful, but leaving her is also unsettling. Consort Qi has lived in the Cold Palace for many years and is Emperor Dongli's most beloved woman. Because of this love, he naturally shows some favoritism towards Mo Yu."
Nalan Lianyi suddenly tilted her head to look at Yang Jianwu, her eyes filled with gossip.
"Sister, you seem to be calling the Seventh Prince by his first name! And you don't even address Consort Qi as 'Your Majesty'!"
"Yes, I always call Mo Yu by his name. Qi Fei is my good friend, so not calling her by her name is already a sign of respect. Is there a problem?"
"what!"
Nalan Lianyi's eyes darted around, and she hesitated before saying, "Hmm... Dongli has a very clear hierarchy. Aren't you afraid of attracting trouble?"
"As long as the Seventh Prince and Consort Qi don't mind!"
"Wait a minute, even if you and Consort Qi are friends, the Seventh Prince is still a prince, and it's only proper to address him as Your Highness! So, is there some secret relationship between you and the Seventh Prince?"
Yang Jianwu lightly tapped Nalan Lianyi's forehead. "You're quite clever, but don't let your mind go astray."
"Children shouldn't always pry into other people's business; they'll become gossipy!"
Nalan Lianyi pouted and stopped asking questions, deciding to make the most of her limited time to do more things she enjoyed!
Fingers plucked the strings of the zither, and melodious music flowed from their fingertips, changing from joyful to melancholic, as if bidding farewell to this brief reunion.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's nearing dusk...
The painted boat stopped at the dock opposite. The group disembarked, and Yang Jianwu sent someone to take Nalan and his sister back to the inn. She then took Mujin home to pack their belongings.
The space has all the necessary storage, but appearances still matter.
"Miss, would it be alright if I brought these few sets of cotton-padded clothes?"
"Okay, you handle it."
Yang Jianwu huddled under the covers, only her head peeking out, watching Mu Jin and the maids bustling around.
The weather was getting cold. It was alright during the day, but the wind was too biting at night, and Yang Jianwu didn't even want to leave her room.
I really want to stay in that space...
The room was warmed by an underfloor heating system, and I was holding a hot water bottle in my arms. But nothing could compare to the eternal spring-like atmosphere inside...
Strangely enough, Anshun and Yunzhi are only two days apart. In Yunzhi, it feels like autumn, and you can just wear a thick coat when it gets cold. But in Anshun, you have to wear a cotton coat.
The thought of going with Prince Qi gave Yang Jianwu a headache. The further north they went, the colder it got. She really shouldn't have agreed to Prince Qi's request; wasn't this just asking for trouble?
Tomorrow, King Qi will leave Anshun, and Huashuiyuefang will have a considerable income again. I'm quite happy about that!
The next day, Yang Jianwu was pulled out of her warm bed by Mu Jin.
"King Qi won't arrive until dawn, why did you wake me up so early..."
Mu Jin's hands moved nimbly across Yang Jianwu's head, quickly tying her hair into a bun.
"Miss, have you noticed that as long as you don't abuse others, you're like a lazy cat reincarnated!"
A lazy cat reincarnated?!
Does that mean she's lazy?!
Yang Jianwu narrowed her eyes, looking at Mu Jin with a dangerous gaze.
Mu Jin wasn't buying it. She took a silk handkerchief and covered Yang Jianwu's face with it. Before Yang Jianwu could remove the handkerchief, she said, "I'm going to apply osmanthus oil to your face. You don't like the pungent smell, so covering your face will help block some of it."
Yang Jianwu paused, letting Mu Jin continue tidying up. The characteristic of someone who hasn't fully woken up is that their mind isn't quite there yet. Osmanthus oil is for combing hair; her hair was already styled, so why would she need it...
Mu Jin chuckled to herself behind Yang Jianwu's back. Her mistress had once said that women in love are all fools! She was starting to understand what that meant!
As agreed, the King of Qi's entourage arrived at the General's Mansion on time. Yang Jianwu bid farewell to her grandfather and parents, boarded the carriage, and left with the King of Qi's entourage.
King Qi was in a bad mood after having his flesh cut off early in the morning, and he could only manage a forced smile when he saw Yang Boshan's family.
Once out of the Yang family's sight, his expression returned to its somber state.
I stayed at the Flower Water Moon Brothel for two nights and it cost me a whopping 100,000 taels of silver!
