Mu Yunyao and Xu Yanhan had gotten up early. Xu Yanhan went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, while Mu Yunyao went to wait upon Grand Princess Yi De.
Grand Princess Yi De had just woken up when he saw Mu Yunyao carrying a basin of water. He couldn"t help but smile. "Little girl, quickly put the basin down. How heavy is this basin? Are you not afraid of hurting yourself?"
"Grandmother, I can handle a basin of water like Yao"er. Since we agreed that we would have our birthdays like ordinary people, we have to do what we say. Grandmother, you can"t go back on your word." And now Yao is here to help her grandmother dress and wash. "
Seeing Mu Yunyao"s smiling appearance, Grand Princess Yi"s heart grew warm. "Alright, I"ll do as you say."
Mu Yunyao helped Grand Princess Yi De to change into the clothes she had personally made, then went up to help her wash up. After that, she sat her down in front of the dressing table, picked up the rhinoceros comb, and began to comb her hair.
"Yao"er, I remember that you couldn"t even comb your own hair properly, right?"
"Grand Princess, you don"t know, Miss has been practicing combing her hair whenever she has time these few days. The few maids waiting by her side have all been groomed, and they would rush to do whatever it was that they saw, afraid that Miss would grab them to comb their hair."
Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but slightly blush. "Senior Qu, my skills in combing my hair are clearly not bad, there"s no need to be so scary. Moreover, I"ve already practiced it, I"ll definitely comb Grandmother"s beautiful, square hair bun."
"Well, Yao, do your best, my grandmother is not afraid."
Mu Yunyao"s movements were gentle. She knew that she wasn"t good at combing her hair, so she chose the simple and elegant Cloudstream Bun. In addition, she had practiced this technique many times.
Grand Princess Yi De gently stroked the hairpin on her head, nodding in satisfaction as she praised, "Not bad, not bad. Yao`er"s skills have improved."
Mu Yunyao was praised and a trace of embarra.s.sment flashed on her face. "Grandmother is too kind. Actually, I only have this bun that looks good."
"After that, Grandmother combed her hair into a bun."
Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but laugh as she leaned on Grand Princess Yi"s shoulder. "Many thanks, Grandmother."
Senior Servant Qu stood to the side, smiling incessantly. Only with Madam and Young Mistress by her side could the Grand Princess be alive. Life like this could be said to be quite interesting.
Xu Yanhan served breakfast, "Mother, Yao`er, you can have breakfast now."
First Princess Yi De pulled Xu Yanhan down and sat down. "Let the maids carry him. Quickly sit down and rest for a while."
Senior Servant Qu helped set up the dishes. "These dishes were cooked by Madam. Just by smelling the dishes, it"s very tempting."
Xu Yanhan smiled, "Senior Qu, there"s no need to be envious. I"ve made too much today and left quite a few food in the kitchen. I"ll be out with us in a while, so I don"t need to wait here for you. Let"s go eat something first."
"Yes, then this servant will have some blessings in her mouth today. Thank you Madam."
Knowing that Xu Yanhan"s actions were all for her sake, the warmth in Grand Princess Yi De"s heart grew even stronger. "Hurry and go."
When the emperor entered and saw the happy family, his heart was filled with envy. "Sister royal, I left the palace in a hurry and I didn"t eat anything."
Mu Yunyao hurriedly stood up and saluted before taking the chopsticks and bowls. After she finished carrying the food, she placed it in front of the Emperor, "Uncle, there"s no servant serving you today. You have to do it yourself." Since she wanted to be an ordinary person, Mu Yunyao"s way of addressing her changed.
The emperor couldn"t help but smile, "Little Yun Yao, don"t tell me you think this emperor doesn"t even take his chopsticks when we eat?"
"Aren"t there palace maids that would feed my uncles and grandpas?"
"Haha, I"m accompanying you and my royal sister. When did you get fed by the palace maids?"
"I thought it was just my uncle feeling embarra.s.sed. It seems like I was wrong." In the countryside, when people talked about your uncle, they all said that you used to carry water with a gold carrying pole. "
The emperor couldn"t help but laugh, "Big sis, another day I"ll also let Yunyao stay in the palace for two days. With her here, I"ll be happier this way."
"In that case, I can only make a few more trips to the palace. If there"s nothing to do, I"ll come to the imperial elder sister"s for a meal."
"Alright."
After the meal, the few of them rested for a moment before riding on a horse carriage to the street.
Within the manor, Eunuch Cheng stood by the side and said, "Your Royal Highness, Yu Heng sent a message that the Emperor, Grand Princess Yi, and the rest are already out on the streets."
"Mm, let"s have someone protect him. Nothing bad must happen to him."
"Yes, please rest a.s.sured Your Highness, the arrangements have been made."
The emperor and Grand Princess Yi De were walking on the street, occasionally strolling around the shops. It seemed that they were enjoying themselves quite a bit.
"If it weren"t for the prescription Yun Yao gave to treat the plague, the entire capital would have been filled with panic …" The Emperor couldn"t help but sigh.
"Uncle, grandpa, before we came out, we all agreed that we would only treat him as an ordinary person today." "Alright, I won"t say anymore." He had been in a high position for many years, so even if he were to visit in private, it would only be on the surface. There were already officials cleaning up the streets secretly, so the amount of things he could see was very limited.
This junior was truly interesting.
After walking past Twin Forest Street, suddenly, a beggar walked up and said, "Master, please do me a favor and give me something to eat."
Mu Yunyao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled on the emperor"s sleeve, "Uncle, grandpa, let"s go."
"These people are really pitiful, why don"t we just give them some silver coins." When the emperor saw the old man begging for money who was wearing sallow clothes, he couldn"t help but make a movement between his eyebrows. He signaled Xu Li, who was following behind him, to give them some silver coins.
Mu Yunyao wanted to stop him, but Xu Li had already sent the silver out. Soon after, many beggars came out of nowhere and surrounded them. They kneeled down and begged the emperor and the others, making it so that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
The emperor was stunned. "This …" "Why are there so many people …"
"Old master, alright..."
"A good man …"
Mu Yunyao hastily supported Grand Princess Yi De, "Grandmother …"
Suddenly, someone shouted from outside, "The patrol officer is here!"
The people who were begging scattered.
Some of the commoners couldn"t help but step forward, "Master, those are the refugees from the south. They are purposely trying to harm you rich people. Just ignore them."
The emperor couldn"t help but furrow his brows. "If they are like this, does it mean that no one cares about them?" At first, they just cared about them. Who would have known that after they finished their porridge, these people would go to the streets and beg for money. When they found out that begging in the capital could earn them quite a bit of money, they decided to treat it as a way to make money.
"They intentionally surrounded us. Many of them didn"t want to waste any time, so they dispersed the money." The emperor"s frown deepened as he walked forward. After a few steps, he turned to Xu Li and instructed, "Xu Li, send someone to investigate this."
