Mu Liuyue was currently tormenting the shopkeeper until he howled in pain. When she heard the guard's cries, she immediately rushed out. She was about to ask what had happened when she saw a face that she would never forget.
"Han Yunxi!" Mu Liuyue was very surprised.
Han Yunxi crossed her arms and calmly stood there. "Aiya, so it's the Mu family's young miss. Long time no see!"
It really had been a long time.
After losing the bet, Mu Liuyue hadn't left the house at all. Even when she did go out, she did it in secret. In the past, she had offended too many people by relying on Princess Changping. After her reputation was ruined, everyone who saw her would laugh at her.
Today was the first time she'd gone out in the open, but of all things, she'd run into Han Yunxi!
After hiding in the house for so long, Mu Liuyue had learned quite a bit. She glanced at the guards kneeling on the ground and then saw that there were quite a few people watching. She had an idea in her heart.
She didn't want to have a conflict with Han Yunxi in the street. In a few days, she would be married off to the crown prince.
She wanted General Mu's family to help the crown prince ascend the throne. She wanted the Duke of Qin to know that marrying her was equivalent to having an army of foot soldiers. She wanted the Duke of Qin to regret marrying a woman like Han Yunxi who had no power or influence!
"Esteemed wangfei, did my guard offend you?" Mu Liuyue asked.
Han Yunxi didn't say anything. Coldly, Zhao mama replied, "Great disrespect. The offense wasn't light."
"Is that so."
Mu Liuyue was very serious. She walked to the guard's side and suddenly gave him a fierce slap. "Pa!"
"You deserve to be hit! If esteemed wangfei hasn't punished you enough, then Liuyue will do it for you! "
As Mu Liuyue spoke, she raised her hand again. The guard didn't dare make a sound.
Zhao mama's heart skipped a beat as she watched from the side. Although her slap was heavy, it wasn't as heavy as Mu Liuyue's! With just two slaps, the guard's face became red and swollen on the spot.
"Esteemed wangfei, have you vented your anger? If he wasn't angry enough, he would hit him again! I'll beat you until you're happy. "Mu Liuyue said sincerely.
Han Yunxi's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect this girl to change so much in just a few months. She wasn't smart, but at least she wasn't stupid!
If she let Mu Liuyue continue beating her in front of so many commoners, she would probably be criticized by the public very quickly. Those who didn't know would think that she, Qin Wang Fei, liked to abuse servants.
Han Yunxi examined the guard's face and clicked her tongue with emotion. "Liuyue, ah, you're a girl, but you've trained your hands so well. It's better if you don't hit the servants so often in the future. Today's matter has already been taught a lesson by Granny Zhao. "
Practice?
These words were clearly implying that she often beat people up.
Mu Liuyue wanted to refute, but the two hits just now were really fierce, and she couldn't defend herself.
She changed the topic and reprimanded the Imperial Bodyguard, "Why aren't you thanking her? Esteemed wangfei is in a good mood today, otherwise how could she not care about a servant like you? "
The meaning behind these words was that the Princess Consort was petty and even cared about how she treated servants.
In this battle of words, Mu Liuyue was not willing to be outdone.
Han Yunxi began to laugh, "That's right! This princess is in a good mood today. Otherwise, not to mention a servant, this princess would have heavily punished you as the master! "
As soon as her voice fell, Granny Zhao was the first to laugh. There were also several laughs coming from the crowd.
Mu Liuyue was too smart for her own good. She had dug a hole for herself in the end.
Mu Liuyue's face turned half black. Other than "thanking the Princess Consort for not punishing me", what else could she say?
It was fine as long as the Imperial Bodyguard thanked her, but now she had to bow and thank her as well.
"You may rise," Han Yunxi calmly waved a hand.
Even the empress dowager was no match for Han Yunxi's glib tongue. Mu Liuyue might have improved, but she was still inexperienced!
If not for the fact that they were in front of so many people, Mu Liuyue would have lost her temper long ago!
She told herself to endure it! She couldn't fall for Han Yunxi's tricks.
After receiving Emperor Tianhui's imperial edict, the first thing she did was find a new group of guards and bought a new sedan chair. Her status was different now. She was the future crown prince consort, so her every word and action would affect the Eastern Palace. She couldn't lose face or status, nor could she become the laughingstock of public opinion.
Mu Liuyue rose to her feet. "Esteemed wangfei, Liuyue still has matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you any longer."
Leaving was the best choice!
Han Yunxi smiled and nodded, as if she wasn't planning on doing anything else.
Mu Liuyue really did leave, but Han Yunxi suddenly said faintly, "That's right, Miss Liuyue. You haven't fulfilled your end of the bet we made last time, have you?"
Hearing this, Mu Liuyue's entire body felt unwell.
That was all in the past! It was all in the past! Why was Han Yunxi bringing it up again?
She was going to marry the crown prince in a few days. Right now, the entire capital was talking about the crown prince's wedding. Han Yunxi was obviously doing this on purpose!
Mu Liuyue grew angrier the more she thought about it. In the end, she couldn't help but turn around and shout, "Didn't my big brother run around the streets in my place? What else do you want? "
"You disappeared after you lost the bet. I haven't seen you until now, so I thought you didn't keep your word!" Han Yunxi gave a harmless smile.
That matter had caused a stir in the city. Especially when Mu Qingwu ran around the streets naked, the commoners all knew about it.
"So the one marrying the crown prince is really this Miss Mu!" It was unknown who shouted from the crowd, but the surrounding people began to talk.
Mu Liuyue's face burned up. She quickly got into the sedan and fiercely threw down the curtain, "Let's go!"
Seeing his fleeing figure, Han Yunxi's gloomy mood for the past few days suddenly brightened up considerably.
Actually, she didn't come here just to find trouble with Mu Liuyue. She just happened to bump into Mu Liuyue.
Seeing Han Yunxi smile, Mama Zhao said, "Esteemed wangfei, are you feeling better now? If the young general insists on doing this, then let's just let him do as he pleases. People talk about fate, so we don't need a friend like the young general. "
Although Mama Zhao kept nagging at the residence a few days ago, she knew that esteemed wangfei was feeling very uncomfortable.
Esteemed wangfei didn't have many friends in the capital, and Mu Qingwu could be considered one of them.
"I'm not going to bicker with Mu Qingwu. Mu Liuyue owes me an explanation for the bet!" Han Yunxi had a carefree look on her face, as if she really didn't care.
Han Yunxi didn't stroll around anymore. She brought Mama Zhao and Su Xiaoyu to the Han Family in the north of the city.
Who would have thought that they would meet Mu Liuyue's sedan in an alley on the way.
Didn't this girl leave? Why was she here? Moreover, she was going in the opposite direction from her. It seemed like she had specially come to find her.
The alley was very narrow, so the carriage and sedan had to be very careful when passing through it. Otherwise, they would easily get stuck.
The carriage and sedan stopped. Unlike their previous behavior on the street, there was no one around. Mu Liuyue didn't have any scruples and was extremely arrogant.
She didn't get off the carriage. Instead, she lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "Han Yunxi, come out!"
Han Yunxi was too lazy to put on an act with her. She lifted the curtain and asked Coldly, "What's the matter?"
"I forgot to tell you earlier. The crown prince will give me a grand wedding. He will personally come to the general's residence to marry me! Also, the betrothal gifts that the imperial family gave to my family can fill an entire street! "
Mu Liuyue proudly said. She was about to go back, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. She couldn't help but turn around and chase after Han Yunxi.
"What does it have to do with me?" Han Yunxi Coldly asked.
"You have to attend!" Mu Liuyue smiled, "You're also marrying into the imperial family, but it's a pity you don't have a wedding or a betrothal gift. I heard that the Duke of Qin's Manor only sent a wedding nanny and the wedding procession was hired by your Han Family. Ze, ze, you really are pitiful. You haven't seen the imperial family's wedding procession yet, right? Take a good look at it when the time comes! If you want to know how many betrothal gifts the imperial family gave me, you can come to my house to take a look. "
When these words were said, Han Yunxi suddenly became silent. She softly asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Just this matter! I specially came to remind you! "Mu Liuyue's smile became even brighter.
Han Yunxi was very calm, "If there's nothing else, then move aside. Don't block the way."
Mu Liuyue showed off a bit and was in a very good mood. She slowly let down the curtain and the sedan slowly passed by the right side of the carriage.
At this time, Han Yunxi softly said, "Even if you're the crown prince's wife, you still have to call this princess' imperial aunt. If you call my name again, don't blame me for not showing mercy."
Separated by the curtain, Mu Liuyue snorted, "Imperial aunt? He, he, I'll never call you that! "
The sedan passed by the carriage and left.
Han Yunxi's carriage stayed in place for a long time. Han Yunxi's entire body was terrifyingly silent. Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu were scared as they looked at each other in dismay, not daring to make a sound.
Mu Liuyue wasn't wrong. When the Princess Consort married into the imperial family, she didn't have anything. Compared to Mu Liuyue's wedding, it was like heaven and earth.
No matter how open-minded a woman was, how could she not mind something as important as a wedding?
Zhao mama thought that esteemed wangfei would be angry and horrified, but Han Yunxi didn't.
She leaned against the pillow and thought quietly for a long time before asking, "Zhao mama, is Grand Concubine Yi's birthday in a few days?"
Zhao mama grew suspicious. What's wrong with esteemed wangfei? Why did she suddenly ask about it?
In the past, Grand Concubine Yi's birthday celebrations were all arranged by Murong Wanru. Ever since Murong Wanru fell into a deep sleep and Grand Concubine Yi went into seclusion in the ancestral hall, no one mentioned the birthday celebration.
Zhao mama did some calculations before replying, "It'll be in three days. Esteemed wangfei, are you planning to … "
A shrewd look flitted past Han Yunxi's eyes before she broke into a Cold smile. "When we return to the estate, I'm planning to discuss something with His Highness."
Zhao mama grew nervous. Just what was wrong with her mistress? Could it be that Mu Liuyue had provoked her and she was planning to ask His Highness Duke of Qin for betrothal gifts again?
With her personality, she wouldn't do that! Just what did she want to do?
Currently, Long Fei Ye was discussing matters with Tang Li and Chu Xifeng at his estate.
He hadn't left the capital city since returning from Medicine Ghost Valley. The crown prince's marriage truly did pose a threat to him. Of course, he'd made his moves against the imperial uncle's estate long before the betrothal took place.
"Master, we've already investigated clearly. A total of 400,000 dan of grain was sent to the disaster areas. The national treasury gave out 200,000 dan, while the officials and rich merchants of the country gathered another 200,000 dan. Only 100,000 dan were actually distributed to the disaster victims! We're still investigating how much the imperial uncle's estate ate, "Chu Xifeng reported.
Long Fei Ye clenched his fists and pounded them on the table. He was about to speak when Han Yunxi arrived …
