C94 White peony
"Your Highness, the auspicious time is here." An anxious voice sounded from outside the pavilion. The silence was broken. When the Princess Wushuang heard this, his expression also eased up, and said to the people who came to the princess' residence: "The time is right, we can go and see the peony. I have also prepared dishes for the ladies, and after seeing the peony, I can go to the hall for a meal. "
"Thank you, Princess Wushuang." Everyone shouted in unison. Then, he followed the footsteps of the Princess Wushuang one after another. Murong Yue and Princess Wuyou were walking at the back, but they were suspicious in their hearts: "Why does it take time to appreciate a flower?"
Hearing that, Princess Wuyou laughed: "What's this? In a little while, my aunt will have to burn incense. It is said that peonies are not easy to cultivate in a thousand years, and are only found with the blessing of the heavens. Thus, every time I go to see a flower, I would pay my respects to the heavens. "
This is truly ? That's superstitious. The corner of Murong Yue's mouth twitched as he thought about it speechlessly.
"Does Princess Wuyou know of any ways to get Peony?" Murong Yue thought of his own goal and asked. Then, he was stared at by Princess Wuyou as if he was looking at a fool.
"Why is the princess looking at me like that?"
"Are you trying to steal my aunt's peony flower? Let me tell you, royal sister-in-law, do not seek death. Some time before his aunt's cousin died, the peony seemed to be dying of an illness. It made her aunt uneasy until something happened to her cousin in the house. Finally, the peony returned to normal.
Her aunt was silent for a while. When she discovered that the peony flower had bloomed again, she decided that this was her cousin's incarnation. Anyone who dared to touch it would be beheaded. Aunt can't cut your head, but can complain to royal father. "
Princess Wuyou felt a burst of fear just thinking about it. What if royal sister-in-law really went crazy and touched the peony?
"I was just thinking about it." Murong Yue said indifferently, but in his heart he was still concerned about the white peony. The pearl from before might have already been drugged, but a peony that could live for thousands of years definitely had a strong life force. If he got it, there would only be benefits.
It didn't fit her style to not take advantage of her. Murong Yue had already made up his mind. No matter what, he would take that white peony, even if it was just one flower. Princess Wuyou heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Murong Yue's words. However, he wasn't sure the next second. He just felt that Murong Yue was a little too easy to talk to. Thinking about this, she looked at Murong Yue and said worriedly, "royal sister-in-law, are you really not going to move?"
"Why don't you believe me?" Murong Yue asked.
"I just feel that royal sister-in-law is not the kind of person who would listen obediently, so ? If royal sister-in-law really wants that peony, I can help you. At least the two of us are more convenient than the royal sister-in-law himself. " The woman looked at Murong Yue and said sincerely. Hearing this, Murong Yue was truly surprised.
Princess Wuyou should be very afraid of this aunt of hers.
"You helped me a lot before, and it was only after we returned to the Imperial Palace that Mother imperial concubine told me that he saved my life. I simply do not know how to repay you, royal sister-in-law. " Princess Wuyou whispered.
Saved her? Murong Yue was startled.
Then, he heard the woman whisper, "Because the Parent Emperor dotes on me, I can't help but block the path of others. Without me, perhaps others would have a better life. Naturally, there are people who want me to go back. "
Princess Wuyou was a little sad when she said this.
The so called person, without question, should be the Grand Princess, right? Murong Yue thought in his heart. Looking at the Little Princess in front of him, he felt a little emotional. Everyone said that the Overlord Family was a very good place. However, the truth was that between the sisters of the Overlord Family, they were even more cruel than between ordinary people.
"Aiya, Mother imperial concubine doesn't allow me to talk about this with you, so just pretend that I didn't say anything. I just feel a little uncomfortable inside. She was so nice to me back then, why would she want to take my life? " Princess Wuyou said dejectedly.
After Murong Yue heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. I'm afraid that it's not that Princess Wuyou doesn't want her to tell me, but she doesn't want me to tell anyone? Grand Princess was the emperor's first daughter, so she was different in his heart. And Princess Wuyou was also the emperor's most beloved daughter.
If this matter were to be exposed, the one who would be in trouble would be the emperor. It was even possible that the Emperor would only cover up this matter. At that time, it wouldn't be beautiful. I might as well not talk about it at the beginning.
How could the events that had occurred in the Imperial Palace be hidden from the Emperor?
The Mother imperial concubine of the Princess Wuyou had thought long and hard about this and decided to retreat in order to advance. In the future, the Emperor would only feel even more guilty and treat them twice as well. Thinking about it this way, Murong Yue couldn't help but admire her. If it was her? It was absolutely unbearable.
As he thought about it, Murong Yue also said, "Since the princess' Mother imperial concubine doesn't allow her to say it, then we shall keep it in our hearts. Everyone will encounter undesirable things, but the way to deal with it all depends on the person. "
"If the royal sister-in-law were to be betrayed by someone close to him, what would happen?" Princess Wuyou looked at Murong Yue. His big eyes were filled with curiosity, and also held a trace of anticipation. as if he could find the answer he wanted from Murong Yue.
After Murong Yue heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. This girl was too piercing!
Someone close to her betrayed her? He didn't even give her a chance to make a choice and directly sent her to hell. The little princess was still too naive.
"Currently, no one has betrayed me. If there really is a ? I'll probably keep my distance. " Murong Yue said, but in truth, if he had truly betrayed her. She would only return it a hundredfold.
However, it was better for Princess Wuyou to maintain her innocence.
Murong Yue and Princess Wuyou chatted idly, and soon enough, the people in front of them started to gather. Turning to look at them, he realized that they had already reached a big gate.
On the vermillion wooden door, there was a set of words carved on it.
"This is where cousin lived before. It is said that he wrote down the words on the wall." After her cousin died, her aunt transplanted the peony flower here. Whenever I think of my cousin, I always come here to take a look. " Beside him, the Princess Wuyou whispered to Murong Yue.
Hearing that, Murong Yue understood.
Soon, the door opened to reveal a simple and unadorned courtyard. The courtyard was spacious and empty, except for a peony about the size of three people. On top of it, there were about sixty white peonies. The flowers were all in clusters, and it was a sight to behold.
The white peony grew extremely well, no wonder the princess was such a treasure.
If it could be used to brew wine, it would be pretty good.
Murong Yue pondered. Because of the Peach Blossom, Murong Yue had more thoughts in his heart. That recipe, he only needed to change it a little to brew other wine. Although he didn't know if it was good or not, but ? Even if the wine produced from the thousand-year-old peony was not tasty, it would at least be good for the body. Thinking about this, Murong Yue wished that he could pull out the entire peony.
"Aunt, this peony is really getting better and better. I think that my cousin is in heaven." The one who spoke was Princess Yun Rou, and her tone carried a tinge of sadness. However, his gaze landed on Murong Yue who was behind him.
As expected, when he mentioned his dead son, Princess Wushuang's face revealed sadness. At the same time, he inevitably thought of that heartless and inhumane bastard! Her son was half of the royal family's bloodline. No matter what, he shouldn't have been executed that way.
However, that bastard did not care at all!
The hand under Princess Wushuang's sleeve was hurting. A trace of calculation appeared in the depths of his eyes. Then he turned to White Aunt and said, "White Aunt, go and see how many peonies have been opened this year. Then take one. "
