Chapter 19: As if she owed him ten bags of dog food
Helian Yi ignored Mo Youyou and reminded her to follow behind with Bai Xue in his arms.
Although Mo Youyou wanted to go out and take a stroll, she only knew little about the Imperial Palace. Once she enters the Palace, no matter what she says or does, she would have to be cautious.Even though her current ident.i.ty was Mo Residence"s Young Miss, many people were already gazing at her as if wanting her to disappear. Hence, she still needed to listen to the man in front of her. At the very least, he seemed to be the most reliable and powerful one here.
Mo Youyou made a look at Yue Er, reminding her to keep up with her. Carrying Bai Xue in her arms, the servant hurriedly followed behind Mo Youyou into the empress"s chambers.
Mo Youyou stared at the quiet and secluded courtyard as a thick fragrance a.s.saulted her nostrils. Since she was allergic to pollen, Mo Youyou instinctively covered her nose, trying to prevent herself from inhaling too much of the powder.
However, thinking that she had already transmigrated, the original owner shouldn"t have the same physique as her, so she put his hand down.
After walking through a small path, they pa.s.sed a sea of flowers and came face to face with a rock mountains of different height and sizes. Next to the rockery was a pond of lotus flowers, and beside the lotus pond was a courtyard built from redwood. Within the pavilion, an octagonal table made of emerald jade stood in the center, surrounded by Eight white jade chairs. Outside, four women dressed in pink-colored palace uniforms stood in two rows, their hair done in a simple, respectful fashion. They seemed to be waiting for Helian Yi"s arrival.
In a short time, Helian Yi arrived outside the pavilion with Mo Youyou. He immediately gave Mo Youyou a meaningful side glance, before he bent over, and said respectfully:
"This son greets mother."
Mo Youyou quietly raised her eyes and looked at the lady behind the four servants. Although Helian Yi had called her mother, she seemed to be in her early thirties.
A benevolent smile appeared on her face. Perhaps the makeup on her face has been smeared too thickly that her smile looked somewhat stiff. Her hair was tied behind her head, adorned by a large golden accessory.The most eye-catching thing was her exquisite and beautiful finger guard. Decked with colorful gems, it looked remarkably alluring when worn on her little finger.
She suddenly opened her mouth and spoke in a gentle voice,"Both of you rise."
Mo Youyou then raised her chest and tiptoed to look at the Queen inside the pavilion.
The empress cast a sidelong glance at the maids, indicating that they should all withdraw. After all the servants had left, she said to Helian Yi:
"Yi"er, come sit with your mother for a while."
Helian Yi walked over and sat beside her.
"Try this Green Leaf Tea, whether it suits your appet.i.te."
Helian Yi took the tea and smelled it. Pausing for a moment, he drank the tea without any hesitation.
A proud look flashed across Empress Wei Changning"s eyes. She smiled at Helian Yi and said:
"I trust that you found Bai Xue for the Fusang Kingdom, did you bring him in today?"Helian Yi"s s.e.xy Adam"s apple rolled, and he replied with a low "hmm."
Upon seeing this, the Queen asked excitedly:
"Where"s Bai Xue? Quick, bring it over for me to take a look."
Helian Yi reminded Mo Youyou coldly.
"Youyou! Hold Bai Xue and let the Queen Empress see."
Mo Youyou could not help but shiver. The two of them spoke in a weird tone, and she did not want to be the victim in their conversation.
Thinking of this, Mo Youyou threw Bai Xue, who was in her embrace, towards Helian Yi. The cat struggled from left to right, unexpectedly jumping right into the Queen"s embrace.
Helian Yi was nearly struck dumb when he saw this. Wasn"t this cat too sn.o.bbish? Hating his hold as if he owed him ten bags of dog food!
Helian Yi stayed sitting opposite of the empress, he watched the empress stroke Bai Xue with a face full of smiles, as if deliberately delaying time.
Helian Yi endured and attempted to use his internal force to expel the medicine in his body. However, he was worried that the empress might sense something amiss. So he held himself back and waited for an opportunity.
