Shangjing City. Mu Garden.
The original Zhenguo Mansion had been taken back long ago, but Xie Wanyun was unwilling to move in. As soon as she walked into the deep courtyard, she thought of the people and events in her past and present lives that she could not bear to look back on.
So I still live in Muyuan.
The children had all grown up. Some had gone to help out in the shop, others had joined the army. Only Xiaoya and the other two children were left. Muyuan had become deserted.
Recently, Xie Wanyun often sits there for an hour while holding the robe worn by Jin Bai.
I wonder how much taller Jinbai has grown? Has he grown stronger? Has his cold symptoms healed? Has he been bullied in Mobei? Is he accustomed to the Mobei food?
The staple food of the people in Mobei is beef and mutton. Jinbai is weak. Can he get used to it?
The weather in Mobei is terrible, with wind, sand and snow everywhere. Can Jinbai bear it?
Often, I burst into tears when I think about it.
Yuzhu saw it with his own eyes and felt pain in his heart, but he could do nothing.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart, why is Madam so stubborn? Why doesn't she want to reconcile with Lord Yan?
Lord Yan has come many times, but the lady just refuses to see him.
Early that morning, Xie Wanyun received an order from the palace, asking her to enter the palace to meet the empress dowager.
Xie Wanyun received the decree, but she felt a little strange. Ever since Jin Bai left, she had inevitably harbored resentment towards the royal family, so she tried to avoid entering the palace.
The Queen Mother also noticed this and stopped forcing her. Therefore, apart from festivals and celebrations when she had to go to the palace to pay her respects, she basically had no further contact with the royal family.
She was even more afraid of meeting the Eighth Prince, Li Chengrui. The moment she saw him, she would think of Jin Bai, and her heart would ache like a needle.
Now the Queen Mother has suddenly summoned you, is there something wrong?
Xie Wanyun sent away the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict and began to prepare to enter the palace.
When she had finished packing, Yuzhui came to report that Yan Suizhi had arrived.
Xie Wanyun sighed helplessly. He was also very persistent. He was rejected again and again, but he became more and more courageous.
With his current status and position, he could marry any lady from a noble family, so why did he have to come to her and hit a snag?
Yan Suizhi was waiting in the front hall, dressed in a bright red official robe and with an outstanding temperament.
When Xie Wanyun saw him, she couldn't help but think of Jin Bai.
Jin Bai was as beautiful as a piece of jade when she was young. Now that she has grown up, does she look like herself, or more like Yan Suizhi?
Yan Suizhi's expression was gentle. "Meimei, what are you thinking about?"
"Yan Suizhi, what are you looking for me for again?"
She was wearing a bright red palace dress, embroidered with lifelike peony branches in gold thread, and the wide skirt flowed behind her, giving her an elegant and luxurious look.
Her black jade-like black hair was tied into a fairy bun, and the gold and jade-inlaid hairpins swayed gently beside her jade-like cheeks. A few plump and round pearls were dotted in her hair, making her black cloud-like hair even softer, shinier and more moisturized, and her phoenix eyes were full of brilliance as she looked around.
Yan Suizhi's eyes were glued to her. He was used to seeing Xie Wanyun in simple outfits with wide sleeves and loose robes, but seeing her in full makeup today was so stunning.
Yuzhui suddenly covered her mouth and smiled.
They both looked at her.
Yuzhui quickly apologized. "Master Yan, Madam, please forgive my rudeness. But seeing that you and Madam are both wearing bright red clothes, it seems like they had agreed on this."
Xie Wanyun held his forehead with his hand. He said coldly, "I'll go change it right away."
"Madam, it's too late." Yu Zhui said hurriedly.
It's true. Putting on a dress is already time-consuming and labor-intensive, not to mention accessorizing with jewelry, there really isn't enough time.
He could only put on a cold face and said, "Master Yan, I have to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, so I can't accompany you."
Only then did Yan Suizhi regain his composure and explain his purpose.
It turned out that he had come specially to accompany her into the palace after hearing the news.
"This is against etiquette." Xie Wanyun refused.
"Mingmiao, I have an urgent matter to discuss with Lord Chen Zhao, the head of the inner court guards. However, outsiders are not allowed to enter the harem without imperial decree. I will be waiting outside the palace walls. Could you please pass on a message for me?"
"Just wait until Lord Chen changes guard and then look for him. What's the rush?"
"It will be three days before his shift is relieved. He can't enter or leave the palace freely while on duty. I was worried about this, and it just so happens that you are about to enter the palace. Meimei, you must help me with this matter."
Yan Suizhi's words were very sincere and reasonable, and since it wasn't a big deal, he nodded in agreement.
