Arriving at the Palace, there was already a little palace maid waiting for Mu Yunjin. When she saw Mu Yunjin"s figuere she bowed slightly and went to greet Mu Yunjin.
"Tai Fei niang niang is in the Plum garden. This servant will lead the way for Huang zi Fei."
The little palace maid said to Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin nodded her head and walked to the direction of Plum garden.
In a short while, the little palace maid took Mu Yunjin to the Plum garden.
In the Plum garden pavilion, Qin Tai Fei was sitting, drinking cold tea. The table in front of her was full of exquisite dessert, and two little palace maids were helping her fan.
At the sight of Mu Yunjin"s figure, Qin Tai Fei smiled with joy and waved at Mu Yunjin.
"Jin"er, come quick."
Mu Yunjin smiled and approached Qin Tai Fei filled with wors.h.i.+p.
"Greetings grandmother."
"Come, come here and sit by aijia"s side."
Qin Tai Fei pointed to the empty s.p.a.ce beside her, and her face is with an unconcealed smile.
Mu Yunjin nodded, and sat next to Qin Tai Fei"s seat.
When she was seated, Qu Momo came and poured a cup of tea for Mu Yunjin and laughed.
"This is Tai Fei"s most favorite plum tea. In this season, it is the most cool and refres.h.i.+ng that it can quench thirst."
"Thank you Momo."
Mu Yunjin raised her lips slightly, then she picked up the cup and drank the plum tea.
"En, it"s really tasty."
Mu Yunjin nodded in praise.
Qin Tai Fei, looked at Mu Yunjin with eyes that is unable to hide her affections and sighed.
"Recently the weather is hot and my heart is a little gloomy. A few days ago, I sent my trusted person to go to your residence to find you and the people there said you and Li"er were out on a trip. Today, I learned that you had come back, so this morning, I asked someone to invite you."
At the end of her words, Qin Tai Fei added.
"It seems that you are getting along well with Li Er."
Upon mentioning Chu Li, Mu Yunjin slightly pursed her lips, her eyes appeared a wisp of helplessness, after a blink, she pulled a smile.
"It"s just me being moody, I pestered him to take me with him."
"See, you had said it. Aijia have never seen anyone who can pester Li"er to action."
Qin Tai Fei gave a low laugh.
After laughing, Qin Tai Fei seemed to have thought of something and sighed slightly.
"Alas, not long ago, the Wen family suddenly suffered from misfortune. The whole family was implicated by the crime. I quite like Wen Ruhan that child, who would have imagined that she is quite vicious and would even dare to harm Zhuang Tai Fu"s granddaughter. One can really know a person for a long time without understanding their true nature."
Mu Yunjin lightly pursed her lips when she heard Qin Tai Fei"s words, she faintly lowered her eyes, not saying anything.
If she told Qin Tai Fei, that it was all Chu Qingqiang"s doing, she is afraid it will make Qin Tai Fei shock.
Either way, the woman is now old, she should stop worrying about these things.
"Oh, that"s right, the granddaughter of the Zhuang Tai Fu aijia had also seen her several times, she is called Yu Yan, right? Another day, you should invite her with you to come to the palace to keep me company and chat."
Qin Tai Fei said.
Mu Yunjin nodded and her eyes fell on the plum blossoms in the garden.
"Now it is in midsummer, and it is amazing that there are plum blossoms blooming everywhere, it is really magical."
"Of course."
Qin Tai Fei replied with pride in her eyes.
"This is what the retainers of Huang"er carefully cultivated with utmost care, its variety are plum blossoms that bloom all year round."
"Unlike Zheng Tai Hou, that old witch"s maple leaf tree, that are always filled with dry leaves that is not even good looking."
When she heard her calling out old witch, Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes and smiled
"It is as grandmother says."
Seeing Mu Yunjin agreed with her words, Qin Tai Fei"s love for Mu Yunjin deepened a little. Then she pointed to the cake on the table.
"Eat it quickly, I had it especially made by the imperial kitchen, it is rather fresh."
Mu Yunjin nodded and picked up a cake and took a bite.
In between their chatting, there was a voice from outside.
"Zheng Tai Hou has arrived!"
"Li Fei niang niang has arrived!"
"Wu gongzhu has arrived!"
(TL: Three witches has arrived!)
After hearing that these annoying people had gathered together in the same place, Mu Yunjin slightly raised her eyebrow and looked at Qin Tai Fei.
As expected, Qin Tai Fei cursed and clapped the table as she roared.
"Who came? Aijia is here, and they are not asking for permission to come? They dare to enter aijia"s plum garden without permission, do they not want to live?"
"Xiang Xian, it is early in the morning and you are this angry."
When her words fell, Zheng Tai Hou"s figure unhurriedly entered. Li Fei and Chu Qingqiang supported her left and right hand.
Qin Tai Fei rolled her eyes.
"Never mind. If you dare to rush into the Plum gardens next time, don"t blame aijia for sending you out."
When Li Fei and Chu Qingqiang heard the words, they looked stiff.
Zheng Tai Hou sneered, she sat leisurely, after sitting down, she beckoned Li fei and Chu Qingqiang.
"You both sit down."
"You actually don"t take yourself as an outsider."
Qin Tai Fei"s cold voice sounded.
"This is natural. You and I are like sisters, then Li Fei is Huang"er"s most doted concubine, and you cannot act excessively on a concubine. Qingqiang also calls you grandmother, so tell me, which of us is an outsider?"
Zheng Tai Hou mildly said, and her eyes were drawn towards Mu Yunjin"s body.
When Qin Tai Fei heard her, she said nothing more, and ordered Qu Momo to add several sets of tea cups.
……….
"Xiang Xian, your Plum tea is really good, sweet and sour, it can quench my thirst."
Zheng Tai Hou drank a mouthful of plum tea and pursed her lips.
"Yes, grandma"s tea and cakes are all carefully developed by the imperial kitchen. It is much more delicious than than Er chen"s palace."
Chu Qingqiang also had a drink of the tea and commented.
(Er chen - self apellation of royals when talking to older generation royals. This son/daughter.)
Li Fei also nodded and agreed.
Mu Yunjin has been ignoring these three people from the beginning. The appearance of these three people is giving her a feeling of a rat in a nest of snakes. It is not anything good.
Indeed, in the next second, Zheng Tai Hou turned her attention on Mu Yunjin.
"Yunjin is here too. Aijia has barely seen you these days and you had become more and more beautiful."
Zheng Tai Hou made a smile yet not a smile, as she looked at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin hooked up her lips and smiled.
"Thanks Tai Hou for your praise."
"If you have time, visit aijia"s place, aijia won"t eat you. Why are you so distant to aijia? "
Zheng Tai Hou said again.
Hearing it, Qin Tai Fei sneered.
"Isn"t your baby Qin about to come back soon? Let Jin"er go to your place to do what?!"
"That"s right, if you did not say that, aijia would have forgotten, Mu Yue is coming back soon, whenever aijia think of this aijia is happy. Having her accompany aijia to chat, aijia will no longer be gloomy."
"Huang Zu Mu, I am afraid that you will have to miss her more, Mu Yue in the past is most fond of Liu Di, before the expedition, everyday she will go in and out of Liu Di"s Gla.s.s Spring palace, how could she miss you?"
Chu Qingqiang"s teased, and her line of vision lightly fell on Mu Yunjin.
As soon as she listened to the words of Chu Qingqiang, Zheng Tai Hou seemed to have remembered something and nodded.
"Right, right, aijia is such a dotard to forget that Mu Yue and Li"er are childhood sweethearts, and got along together"
"Exactly, at that time, chen qie often saw Liu Huang zi and Qin xiaojie together, and the two really looked like a couple."
Li Fei also followed to interrupt, her line of sight swept towards Mu Yunjin, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh, I forgot Liu Huang zi Fei is here, and said some outrageous words, Liu Huang zi Fei please don"t take it to heart."
When Qin Tai Fei heard this she understood the intentions of these people, she disdainly hummphed.
"Li"er and Qin girl had long pa.s.sed their marrying age, if they have mutual affections they would have married each other at an early time, why wait until now?"
"You as elders must not carelessly chew misunderstandings caused by gossips. Li Er is now with Jin"er, they are so tight that no one can enter his eyes."
Qin Tai Fei"s words, inexplicably let Mu Yunjin have a layer of goose b.u.mps, she slightly lowered her eyes, and digests Zheng Tai Hou"s words.
She has to admit that she is more and more curious about this Qin Mu Yue.
"When Mu Yue reached her marriageable age, she was asked to go into battle. How many women can accomplish that? Aijia heard that Li"er had promised to wait for Mu Yue come back from battle and will help Mu Yue fulfill a wish."
"Tell me, if Mu Yue"s wish is to be Liu Huang zi Fei, what will Li Er do?"
"After all, Li"er is royalty, and his promise is invaluable. Since he had promised, he would not easily break his promise."
As Zheng Tai Hou leisurely spoke these words, her line of sight never left Mu Yunjin. She had been observing Mu Yunjin"s facial expressions, her intonation is filled with mockery.
Mu Yunjin could not listen to these people"s meaning in their words. They are just borrowing Qin Mu Yue"s name to ridicule her.
But thinking about it, Mu Yunjin can"t help but wonder. If there is really a promise, and Qin Mu Yue really wanted to be Liu Huang zi Fei. What will Chu Li choose?
Thinking of it, Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes that are filled with self mockery.
She almost forgot, Chu Li and her did not perform the ceremony of kneeling to heaven and earth. They are not a real husband and wife and at any time they can break up.
"Liu Huang zi Fei, we are not laughing over you, you won"t take it to heart right? You and Liu Huang zi are newly weds don"t be so suspicious of Liu Huang zi. Otherwise, ben gong will feel very apologetic."
Li Fei saw Mu Yunjin lower her eyes and spoke a few words.
When Mu Yunjin heard her words, she lifted her eyes, and slightly raised her chin, and evoked a confused smile.
"Li Fei niang niang likes to joke, this kind of matter, how could Yunjin take it to heart."
"Oh? Are you saying that you do not mind if Qin xiaojie would use that promise for your Liu Huang zi Fei position?"
Li Fei asked.
Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow, leaned against the chair, and changed to a much comfortable posture.
"Let us wait for her to come back and talk about this again."
"So confident? It looks like Liu Huang zi Fei is saying that, Liu Huang zi is now very fond of Liu Huang zi Fei. However, as a woman, it is necessary to remind Liu Huang zi Fei to be on guard. After all, no man doesn"t like a heroine such as Qin xiaojie."
Li Fei insipidly smiled.
Mu Yunjin originally felt a little admiration for this Qin Mu Yue. But, Zheng Tai hou and Li Fei spoke of her left and right, it was hard not to put her in the same category as them.
To this Qin Mu Yue, she no longer have any good impression.
"All right, shut your mouth! In a while, Li"er will come to aijia"s palace. Aijia will ask him if he will marry that Qin Mu Yue or not."
Qin Tai Fei irritably clapped the table, originally she and Mu Yunjin were having heart to heart talk, but these people insisted to mingle with them.
When Zheng Tai hou and her people heard that Chu Li is coming, they raised an eyebrow and their eyes were filled with joy with other people"s misfortune.
At this moment, who does not know that Qin xiaojie"s heart is tied to Chu Li, but after going to battle for months, now she will come back but Chu Li had married another.
When the moment comes, no need to wait for them to make a move. Just by this Qin Mu Yue, they can turn the Liu Huang zi Fu upside down!
