Mu Qianqian couldn't help but shudder.
no.
She must find a way to prevent these things from happening.
Since she knew there would be danger, how could she possibly let her mother be in the same perilous situation as Consort Hui?
Consort Shu suddenly stopped in her tracks.
What audacity!
These people actually dared to lay a hand on the Empress Dowager.
The Emperor has already given instructions regarding the birthday banquet.
If you're not going to do it, you have to give him a reason that he can accept.
She couldn't very well tell the Emperor that he had heard Mu Qianqian's innermost thoughts and foreseen the future, which was why he canceled the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to win people's hearts.
However, that would mean...
Did Emperor Yuanwu already know that she could hear Mu Qianqian's thoughts?
no!
Absolutely not.
Even if she is demoted, she will still protect Mu Qianqian.
Then we'll have to think of another way.
No sooner had Consort Shu returned to Qiluan Garden with Mu Qianqian than she had brought Mu Qianqian back to the garden.
Consort Liang followed shortly after, carrying a box of pastries.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, may the Imperial Concubine be blessed." Consort Liang curtsied and then looked at Mu Qianqian: "I heard that the Seventh Princess likes to eat pastries. I just made some in my palace this morning, and I just happened to bring them here for the Seventh Princess to try."
After Consort Liang finished speaking, she took out four exquisite plates from the food box.
Each plate contained pastries of different colors.
"My sister is so thoughtful," Consort Shu said gently. "Qianqian will definitely like it."
Consort Liang took a pink pastry from the plate and placed it in Mu Qianqian's hand.
Mu Qianqian had just opened her mouth when she couldn't help but sneeze.
"Ah... Achoo."
She sneezed so hard her nose bubbled, and the pastry in her hand fell to the ground with a "plop" because of the big sneeze.
"What's wrong? Did she catch a cold? These days, it's cool in the morning and hot at noon, so it's easy to catch a cold if you're not careful." Consort Liang said sullenly, "Sister, quickly send the imperial physician to see the Seventh Princess. If she gets sick, the Emperor will be heartbroken."
"Bin'er, go and summon Physician Xie."
No sooner had Consort Shu finished speaking than...
Mu Qianqian sneezed several more times in a row.
Consort Shu, who had just been thinking that nothing was wrong, suddenly became nervous and hurriedly grabbed a blanket and wrapped it tightly around herself.
[Mother, I... Achoo.]
I'm fine, I didn't catch a cold.
Hearing Mu Qianqian's words, Consort Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She loosened the blanket wrapped around Mu Qianqian a little.
They just didn't catch a cold.
This constant sneezing really warrants a check-up by the imperial physician; we hope it doesn't turn out to be some other ailment.
I'm just allergic to green tea.
Achoo!
[This Consort Liang really doesn't come to the palace unless she has a reason; she's got a whole lot of ulterior motives.]
Wasn't she always fawning over the Empress?
Why did you suddenly think of our Qiluan Garden today?
Allergic to green tea!?
Consort Shu recalled that when she was just born, she seemed to have the same allergy to that concubine.
When I heard her inner thoughts, I thought, "What a green tea bitch."
She thought Mu Qianqian wanted her to serve tea to Consort Zhuang.
She actually brewed a pot of the finest green tea for Zhuang Pin.
She seems to understand the meaning of "green tea" a little now.
She seems to act one way in front of men and another way behind their backs; she's quite the actress.
Playing the victim, acting all cutesy and coquettish, like the former concubine Zhuang Pin, now...
Consort Shu couldn't help but glance at Consort Liang upon thinking of this.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine..."
