Chapter 744: Shopping with the Prince
Yun Mujiu sneezed for no reason, but luckily she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in time. Otherwise, she and Ye Xiaohan would be staying in the almost enclosed space of the carriage, which would affect her husband who has a mysophobia!
Ye Xiaohan looked at Yun Mujiu with concern, raised his hand and handed him a cup of tea.
Yun Mujiu put down the candied haws in his hand, took the teacup and started drinking.
With a sly smile, he said, "Your Majesty, I guess someone is talking about me..."
"It's normal for Gao Yang to miss you since you sent the invitation over here." Ye Xiaohan replied calmly.
Looking at Mu Mu's smirk, he could already imagine how angry Gao Yang would be.
Just as Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan expected, when Princess Gaoyang read the contents of the visiting card, she was so angry that she wanted to tear it up.
I was just about to scold the servant for passing the message. This was obviously not a visiting card, but a notice from Yun Mujiu!
Turning her head, she saw the Prince Consort looking at the post with a serious expression, which temporarily stopped her from cursing. The Prince Consort was present, so she must not let him think she was vicious.
This post was neither an invitation nor a visiting card, but a warning from Yun Mujiu to Princess Gao Yang to hold a wedding for Wu Mingwei as soon as possible.
In the post, Yun Mujiu meant that the emperor had previously granted marriage to Wu Mingwei and Wang Gou from Princess Gaoyang's mansion, but Wu Mingwei was imprisoned for poisoning the crown prince, so the marriage had to be postponed. However, now that Wu Mingwei has returned to the princess's mansion, Princess Gaoyang should personally hold a wedding for Wu Mingwei and Wang Gou from her mansion and obey the emperor's order.
Princess Gaoyang was angry for many reasons, including her dislike for Wu Mingwei and Wang Gou, and her resentment for being defeated by Yun Mujiu. Today, she was even more angry that it was Yun Mujiu who came to remind her to do something. Where could she put her face?
Moreover, she originally wanted to gloss over the matter. If Wu Mingwei and Wang Gou were to get married in a high-profile manner, everyone would once again pay attention to the difficult situation in her mansion, and the fact that she was severely punished by her brother because of Yun Mujiu would be put in front of everyone, which would be tantamount to making her endure physical and psychological torture once again!
"Put the letter away." Prince Consort Cao ordered the servant who delivered the message.
He knew how Princess Gaoyang felt, but after all, what Princess Ye said was right, and they naturally had to obey the emperor's orders.
The Night Palace remembered that someone in the Princess Palace was granted marriage, and so would others. Even if they intended to make people forget about it, as long as the Night Princess or others mentioned the imperial decree of marriage in the future, they would be guilty of disobeying the imperial decree.
"Princess, the emperor's decree was issued quite some time ago. This matter cannot be delayed any longer, and the outside world knows the content of the emperor's decree that day. We cannot ignore the marriage."
Simply put, we can’t pretend we know nothing about the current situation. We can only accept the reality quickly and then solve it.
Prince Consort Cao reminded again: "The second young lady of the Yun family has been punished a new time."
Yun Shirou didn't know whether she ignored or forgot the emperor's order to "confine her in Yun Mansion" and insisted on going out to Yewang Mansion. Yun Shirou was not punished for several days after returning to the mansion. But later, someone reminded the emperor, and the emperor thought of this and quickly added a punishment.
"Okay, Prince Consort, what you said makes sense. I will listen to you." Princess Gaoyang bit her tongue and forced herself to calm down. She smiled faintly at Prince Consort Cao and put on a well-behaved look.
The relationship between her and her husband has become cold recently, so she has to hold on to his heart.
Firstly, the prince consort is her preferred type.
Secondly, and more importantly, she needed a good reputation. She also needed her husband to be her shield - if she had a husband, others would not be too suspicious of her private life, and she could have fun with her lovers better.
Yun Mujiu finished a whole cup of tea, and her nose no longer felt itchy. It should be because Princess Gaoyang was "missing" her just now that her nose felt a little uncomfortable.
He picked up the candied haws on the table and continued to eat it.
Half an hour ago, Yun Mujiu brought medical books to the herbal hall and chatted with Ye Xiaohan, Du Ziheng, Doctor Fu and others for a long time.
Then she went to see Jiang Chi for a follow-up visit. Ye Xiaohan wore a veil and stood outside the window, quietly glancing at Jiang Chi's appearance.
Afterwards, he and Yun Mujiu disguised themselves and went out for a walk on the street.
When Yun Mujiu saw food, he immediately started buying.
Ye Xiaohan waved his hand and wanted to buy the entire stall for Yun Mujiu, letting Yun Mujiu eat whatever he wanted.
Yun Mujiu quickly grabbed Ye Xiaohan's hand and said, "Oh, no need, Xiaoxiao, it would be a waste of money to continue like this. I'll just try it for a bit."
Someone was puzzled, because he had no experience of visiting small stalls, and usually did business in large amounts. Since Mu Mu liked it, he should just buy them all.
Yun Mujiu leaned close to Ye Xiaohan's ear and explained that she was just interested for the time being and there was no need to spend so much money to book an entire stall.
Yun Mujiu felt helpless. Her husband was so generous. Whenever she stopped in front of a stall, Ye Xiaohan would casually take out a silver note and hand it to her.
Ye Xiaohan is well aware of the husband's way: when his wife buys things, the husband just needs to pay.
Yun Mujiu smiled and refused. She had a lot of change with her. It was a joke to ask Ye Xiaohan to pay.
She noticed when she was shopping that Ye Xiaohan rarely carried banknotes with him, and if he did, they were all huge amounts, thousands or tens of thousands of taels. If the vendors saw this, they would probably be shocked, because where could they find such large banknotes?
The streets were crowded with people, and the weather was hot. Many people were wearing hats, veils, or holding umbrellas. Some people even picked up objects in their hands and held them above their heads to block the sun. Those objects included farm tools, vegetable baskets, and outer coats.
Therefore, the actions of Yun Mujiu, Ye Xiaohan and others did not attract anyone's attention.
Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan strolled for a while, while Liu Suixi and Fusang followed not far away.
As for Wei Song, he successfully took over Sui Xi's job of carrying bags, holding many items bought by Yun Mujiu in his arms.
Inside the carriage, Ye Xiaohan looked at the string of candied haws that Yun Mujiu stuffed into his hand and asked.
"Mumu, did you go to the street to buy these foods a few days ago?"
"Yeah." Yun Mujiu swallowed a hawthorn, "I went shopping with Fusang Suixi for a while and bought some snacks. I think this candied haws tastes good, but I don't know if the prince likes it."
Ye Xiaohan stared at the red thing wrapped in butter paper in his hand, not knowing whether to eat it or not.
He was in a bad situation when he was a teenager, and there was a time when he had to eat all kinds of unpalatable food. Later, when he went to the battlefield, due to the limitations of the environment, he also ate wild food that could barely fill his stomach but was difficult to swallow.
Facing the bright red candied haws, the bright yellow candy men, and other snacks in front of him, the Night King said he didn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty, do you want to try it?" Yun Mujiu directly handed over her string of candied haws. Ye Xiaohan's candied haws were not opened yet. If Ye Xiaohan didn't want to eat the whole string, he could try one of her hawthorn fruits first.
Ye Xiaohan glanced at Yun Mujiu's rosy lips, which still had some solidified sugar threads at the corners of her mouth.
As if by some strange coincidence, a man with a self-control that was not as strong as that of a normal human being kissed the smiling woman in front of him...
