~ IT IS GOOD TO ENJOY THE COOL WEATHER WITH YOUR BACK AGAINST A BIG TREE ~
Seeing the tears on the Grand Princess Yi De’s face, Su Qing was at a loss of what to do. “Your Royal Highness … …”
Mu Yunyao’s feet moved slightly. She wanted to step forward and persuade Su Qing, but she resisted the urge to do so when she saw Su Qing’s expression. After exchanging glances with Yue Wang, the two of them quietly left the room.
In the backyard, a parasol tree was planted. The leaves had fallen off, leaving only the vigorous branches. With the help of a horizontal twig, a swing was suspended from the ground.
Mu Yunyao sat on the swing, her fingers holding onto the rope on both sides as she slowly tightened her grip. Her slender eyelashes drooped down, covering her black eyes, making it hard for people to see her emotions.
Yue Wang was panicking in his heart, “Yunyao....”
Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at Yue Wang, who was standing on one side with a sweet smile on her face. She tapped the ground with the tip of her shoe, and the swing shook slightly. “Looked at Grand Princess Yi De’s expression, it’s 80-90 percent pretty close. I’ll have to call you uncle now. Aren’t you happy?”
Yue Wang felt like his heart was about to be shaken by her. That smile turned into a knife and stabbed into his body, causing him to tremble from the pain.
She didn’t hear the answer from Yue Wang, but Mu Yunyao didn’t mind. She lowered her head again, exerted a little force under her feet, and swung higher. Her moon white skirt shook, and the butterfly embroidered on it seemed to flutter out.
As the wind blew past her ears, Mu Yunyao suddenly remembered a poem she had once heard from the poisonous lady: “Hatred: The path of a human is very different from the way of a god. It’s no use complaining about them in their prime. To fight against the waves of tears, to cover up the tears. The eulogy is a long way from death and a long way from a foreign land.”
Wasn’t she and Yue Wang’s situation the same as what was said in the poem? They were on different roads, had distinct identities, opposite each other, and hard to stay together...
Yue Wang suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the swing rope abruptly.
Mu Yunyao was caught off guard and fell from the swing. He reached out and pulled her into his embrace, “Yunyao, we can be together. Trust me!”
Mu Yunyao didn’t have time to cry out in alarm. As she raised her head to look into those eyes that were like cold nights, her breathing suddenly stopped.
Some people were like fine wine, with a strong taste and rich aroma, which intoxicated people. They could be tasted for a short time, but they could not be immersed for a long time, or else they would only be soaked and wasted.
Some people were just clear water without any color or fragrance, making people usually ignored them. However, people are inseparable and indispensable, allowing the dry desert to be embellished with greenery.
Yue Wang was the latter. It was undeniable that they had not spent much time together and that they had recently revealed their true feelings to each other. However, when they thought of leaving the person opposite them, they felt a pain that could cut off their hearts.
“Yunyao ….” Yue Wang embraced her waist and watched her tears fall. The love in his heart was about to spill out, “Don’t cry, it’s okay.”
Mu Yunyao retreated far away from Yue Wang. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, revealing a smile, “Don’t cry. There’s nothing to weep about. In the future, I’ll have more and more supporters. It is good to enjoy the cool weather with your back against a big tree, and there is no one anymore to dare to bully my mother and me at will.”
Yue Wang furrowed his brows and looked at her red eyes before sighing softly.
Mu Yunyao sniffled. She had worn thin clothes when she came out just now. At this moment, the cold wind made her feel intensely cold.
Yue Wang turned around and walked towards the door. Not long later, he walked over with a cloak and personally put it on Mu Yunyao.
Mu Yunyao held her cloak tightly, feeling a little sour at the tip of her nose. The more Yue Wang treated her sincerely, the more the bitterness in her heart grew heavier. It was so much that she felt that her heart was about to be overwhelmed.
After waiting for a long time, Qu Mama walked over quickly. She greeted Yue Wang and Mu Yunyao respectfully, “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang, Miss Mu, the Grand Princess is inviting the two of you in.”
“Yes.”
Within the hall, Grand Princess Yi De held Su Qing’s hand tightly. Her tears had not dried yet, and her eyes were bloodshot. Su Qing’s eyes were also very red, but the tense aura around her body had disappeared and replaced with joy and happiness.
Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang bowed at the same time. “Greetings, Grand Princess Yi De.”
“Yunyao,” Grand Princess Yi De stood up and bent over to help Mu Yunyao up, “Child, it’s been hard on you all these years.”
Mu Yunyao was startled for a moment before slowly breaking into a smile, “Your Royal Highness, you don’t need to worry. My mother and I have been doing very well these past few years.”
The Grand Princess Yi De’s eyes were red as she nodded, but her heart was filled with love. Her family was in a difficult situation, her grandmother was tricky, her father had died early, and she had left far away from her home ... Every single one of them was a heavy test for this young child, but she had endured it all. She even created Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. How can words describe all her hardships and suffering?
“Yunyao, I think you should already know that your mother is the daughter that I lost long ago, and you are my granddaughter.” The Grand Princess Yi De was apprehensive. Yunyao was smart. She could protect Su Qing in a dangerous place like the Su family, so her personality can be seen. Does she have a grudge and resentment against her irresponsible grandmother?
Looking at those eyes, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but smile, and her curved eyes shone brilliantly. “Will the Grand Princess treat mother and I well? Will she be like the Su family, who use us and want to kill us all?”
“I will do my best to be good to you and your mother. I won’t use you, nor will I let others hurt you.” The Grand Princess Yi De’s tone was firm, and her words reverberated in the air. Currently, glory, wealth, power, and prestige have become a thing of the past in her eyes. Su Qing and Mu Yunyao were her thirty years’ expectations and her life.
Mu Yunyao smiled more brilliantly, tentatively holding the hand of the Grand Princess Yi De and then holding Su Qing: “Mother?”
Su Qing nodded with encouragement in her eyes.
Mu Yunyao bit her lips and smiled as she shouted at Grand Princess Yi De, “Grandmother!”
“Sigh!” Grand Princess Yi De instantly began to shed tears. With one arm holding onto Su Qing and Mu Yunyao, she felt that her life had finally complete, “Good girl, you’ve suffered greatly.”
Qu Mama wiped away her tears. The Grand Princess’s wish had finally been fulfilled. Heaven has eyes!
After the three of them cried for a long time, Yue Wang stepped forward and advised, “Imperial Aunt, today is a happy day. Don’t cry anymore.”
The Grand Princess Yi De repeatedly nodded, “You are right. We should be happy today. Qing’er, Yao’er, you two follow me back to the Palace. I won’t let you suffer any longer.”
Previously, she had told Su Qing that her original name should have been Xu Yanhan. However, Su Qing was too used to using this name, so she didn’t force her to change it. Anyway, as long as people were around, it didn’t matter what her name was. Just talk about it slowly.
Su Qing paused for a moment before she shook her head.
The Grand Princess was very anxious, “Qing’er, are you still blaming your mother? I’ve been looking for you for so many years, but I couldn’t find any trace of you....”
“Mother has misunderstood. I am not blaming you, but we do not have any evidence to prove our identity. If we recklessly follow you back to the Palace, there will only be endless rumors and rumors.”
The Grand Princess Yi De frowned, her entire body exuding an imposing aura, “Who would dare!”
