Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 273

Chapter 273

~ PRELUDE TO ENTERING THE PALACE TO COMPLAIN ~

Early morning in the next day, Mu Yunyao had already gotten up early and began to freshen up .

She had chosen the clothes yesterday . Although there filial piety, she could not enter the Palace wearing them too lightly to avoid attracting the taboo, so she chooses a pale peach pink dress with a silver border . The hairpin she picked was a hollow orchid hairpin with some small flower pearls on the top . The earrings are also small orchid shaped, which are expressly fresh and pleasant to match the clothes .

After changing her clothes and matching her jewelry, Mu Yunyao sat down in front of the mirror and used the makeup to smear on her cheeks .

Su Qing stood behind Mu Yunyao . Through the mirror, she could see that her uninjured cheek was as white as a petal and as tender as fine white jade, but on the other side, the five fingerprints were clearly visible, which made people’s eyes tremble .

“Yao’er, is this a bit inappropriate?”

Mu Yunyao held her cheek and carefully looked it up for a while . She nodded with satisfaction: “I don’t feel like there’s anything wrong with it? It feels right . ”

Su Qing could only suppress the worry in her heart . After accompanying her to eating for a while, she saw that it was almost the time . Then, she got up to send Mu Yunyao out .

As soon as she came out, she saw Mama Qi standing at the door . She didn’t know how long she waited, but there was actually some dew on the tip of her shoes . “Greetings, Miss Mu . The Eldest Madam has ordered me to arrange a carriage for you and let this servant wait outside the Palace gate . When you finished entering the Palace, I will pick you up and take you back . ”

Mu Yunyao was supported by Jin Lan and Jin Qiao from both sides . She looked energetic, but her eyes filled with a strong sense of exhaustion . “Thank you, Mama Qi . ”

“Young Miss is too polite . ”

The carriage was placed with soft cus.h.i.+ons that were exceptionally meticulously placed on top, and it felt comfortable after sitting on it . Mu Yunyao heard the sound of the carriage rolling past the bluestone street and closed her eyes to rest her mind .

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao, who were sitting at the side, did not dare to make a sound . They just waited quietly at the side . After about an hour, the carriage slowly stopped . “Miss, we have arrived . ”

Mu Yunyao slowly opened her eyes . Her eyes were as clear as the blue sky, pure and untainted by a speck of dust .

When Jin Lan and Jin Qiao saw her current appearance, they couldn’t help but be slightly stunned . At this moment, Miss’s aura seemed to be exceptionally different . In the past, when she was facing her mother, she also had a pure worry-free appearance, but compared to now, she still lacked a bit of clarity . The Young Miss seemed to have faded all the distracting thoughts from her mind . It was like the sky had suddenly become sunny after the heavy rain had pa.s.sed . It was clear and clean to the extreme .

Being helped from the carriage, Mu Yunyao slightly straightened her body before tidying her dress and slowly walking towards the Palace gate .

A young eunuch was already waiting at the entrance of the Palace . When he saw Mu Yunyao, he hurriedly bent his knee and bowed, “May I ask if you are Miss Mu?”

Mu Yunyao nodded in return . “This humble one is Mu Yunyao . Greetings, Eunuch . ”

“Miss Mu is too polite . This servant, Xiao Gui, has sent the order of Eunuch Li to wait for Miss Mu at the entrance of the Palace . After the Imperial Court is over, the Emperor still has to meet the minister in the imperial study . After that, there was a half-hour break . The girl had to wait for a while . ”

“Yes, thank you for your advice, Sir . ”

Mu Yunyao had a gentle att.i.tude, and her line was well-mannered, but the injury on her cheek was so apparent, attracts Xiaogui, Eunuch who led the way, took a sneak peek several times .

Mu Yunyao noticed his gaze, but she didn’t care . Instead, she observed the scenery of the Imperial Palace from the corner of her eyes .

In her previous life, she did not have the fortune to come to the Palace and had only seen it outside the Palace walls a few times from afar . The only thing she can see was the Royal Palace gate, which was more than ten meters high outside the palace wall . The pavilion with double eaves and sharp roof protruded like five phoenixes fluttering their wings . At that time, she was still looking forward to it, and it would be nice to have a closer look . Now she walked in and looked at it carefully, but there was no longer that longing he had from before .

This Palace has gone through several dynasties and had been expanded over and over again until it finally had today’s grand scale . The vermilion walls and glazed roof tiles gave off a majestic aura everywhere .

Along the way, Mu Yunyao did her best to endure the discomfort as she followed the young eunuch and deliberately avoided along the way, but there weren’t many people .

Walking to a Palace, the young eunuch stopped in his tracks, “Greetings, Eunuch Li . ”

Mu Yunyao raised her head and saw the smiling face of Eunuch Li . She greeted him as well, “I greet Eunuch Li . ”

“ Miss Mu is is too polite . Your Majesty is currently receiving a court official . As there are too many matters, there will inevitably be delayed a bit . Miss Mu should wait first in the side hall for a while . When the time comes, I’ll call you again . ” Eunuch Li’s att.i.tude towards Mu Yunyao was exceptionally intimate . First, it was because of her relations.h.i.+p with Xu Li . Second, it was because the purse that Mu Yunyao had given him yesterday had banknotes worth over a thousand taels of silver . It was really too extravagant . Today, it was inevitable that he would subconsciously treat her well .

After entering the side hall, Eunuch Li gestured for Mu Yunyao to sit down before instructing the eunuch who was leading them to serve the refreshments, “Miss Mu, please take a seat . ”

“Thank you, Eunuch Li . ” Along the way, she followed the little eunuch and walked quickly over . A layer of sweat had already formed on Mu Yunyao’s forehead . If she were to wait outside, she might really be unable to hold on .

“Miss Mu, you are too polite . I still have some matters that I must attend to and cannot wait here with Miss . Please forgive me . ”

“I don’t dare to disturb my Lord . ” Mu Yunyao quietly waited inside the side hall . After waiting for nearly an hour, she finally saw Eunuch Li walk in again, but this time, his complexion was clearly worse . After bowing to Mu Yunyao, he reminded her in a low voice, “Miss Mu, the Emperor wishes for you to go . The Emperor is in a rather not good mood . ”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved, “Thank you, Eunuch Li . ”

Arriving at the entrance of Yi Xin Palace, Mu Yunyao lowered her head and waited for the announcement, and after a long while, she heard a call: “Young Miss Mu Yunyao, enter the hall . ”

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her head and entered the hall very respectfully . Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the Emperor wearing a bright yellow robe with dragon patterns embroidered on it . She promptly knelt and respectfully said, “This humble daughter, Mu Yunyao, greets Your Majesty . ”

Mu Yunyao’s voice was clear and soft, and it was notably pleasant to hear in the great quiet hall .

The Emperor, who was frowning, slightly relaxed his expression, “Stand up . Are you Mu Yunyao?”

The Emperor’s voice filled with the dignity of a person in power . Even without looking at his appearance, her heart oppressed to the point where she could hardly breathe .

“In reply to the Emperor, yes . ”

The Emperor looked at Mu Yunyao . The young girl in front of him had a pet.i.te stature, and her head was lowered, making it difficult to see her appearance . She stood there quietly, dressed in a delicate and charming manner, making her look very comfortable . Moreover, after entering the door, she was very polite . At first sight, she was specially trained, but she was also a child who kept the etiquette .

As the Emperor was thinking, he suddenly met a pair of eyes full of curiosity, causing him to be stunned for a moment . Mu Yunyao, who he praised just now, had unexpectedly raised her head to looked at him . She was quite courageous . “Mu Yunyao, could it be that no one told you before you came that you can’t look at Son of Heaven’s Face directly?”
