Chapter 88: Arrogant and unreasonable
"Is that Princess Mingzhu?" A delicately dressed girl who looked about five or six years old pointed at Xiao Tangbao proudly in the crowd.
"To reply Princess Yuyao, it was her." After hearing this, Mo Yuyao's delicate and beautiful eyebrows showed a hint of displeasure.
She had only been traveling with the Empress Dowager on a southern tour for a year, but why was the situation in the Imperial City so different when she came back this time?
Then there came a new Princess Mingzhu from the Yongyi Marquis's family. She was highly respected and loved by her father the Emperor and her mother the Empress Dowager, and she took away all the love and limelight that should have belonged to her.
"Grandmother, how can she be named a princess when she is not the biological daughter of our father and mother?" Mo Yuyao pouted and complained to the Empress Dowager in dissatisfaction.
The Queen Mother patted her hands with a smile, "Didn't you hear about her when we were on our southern tour? They all said she was a little goddess, so I brought you here today to see how divine she is."
"Look at those birds and the flowers that are blooming out of season." The Queen Mother smiled slightly on her well-maintained face. "It does look a bit like what the rumors say."
"What's so strange about this?" Mo Yuyao muttered softly. Aren't these little tricks just the same as the magic tricks performed in opera troupes? What's so new about them?
The Queen Mother didn't hear clearly, so she leaned in and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, Grandmother, let's go see the bird over there." Mo Yuyao smiled sweetly.
She would definitely find a way to expose this so-called little goddess and let the whole world know that all this was a trick played by the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion in order to regain the emperor's favor.
Qin Yunshuang and Shen Zongguang saw the Empress Dowager coming from afar, and immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.
The Queen Mother smiled and waved her hand, indicating that they did not need to be polite. "I came here uninvited today just to see something new."
"Plus, the Emperor and Empress have named your daughter the Princess Mingzhu, so she has some royal connection. According to etiquette and rules, I can also let her call me the Imperial Grandmother."
"So I came here specially to take a look. Here, these are the little things I brought back from my southern tour. They are gifts for Princess Mingzhu's first birthday."
Mo Yuyao listened, with a look of superiority in her eyes, "What the Royal Grandmother brought back are all rare and valuable things. You must take good care of them and don't let the babies at home get damaged by accident."
After hearing these words, Qin Yunshuang felt that something was strange, but she didn't know what to say, so she just smiled and nodded.
When the Queen Mother took Mo Yuyao to visit other places, Qin Yunshuang looked at their backs and came to her senses, "Husband, what Princess Yuyao meant was that she disliked our little Tangbao."
Shen Zongguang was used to speaking directly, so he didn't hear the twists and turns in the answer. "Is there? I don't think so."
After saying this, he smiled and went to look for Xiao Tangbao, holding the box that the Empress Dowager had just given him.
"Little Tangbao, this is a gift from the Empress Dowager. Do you like it?" Shen Zongguang opened the box.
There was a pony in the box. The horse was made entirely of jade, and its four legs could stand and move. It was exquisitely crafted and looked lifelike. Its four hooves and saddle were all inlaid with gold and silver gems.
Little Tangbao's attention was instantly attracted by this colorful little thing, "Wow, horse."
"It's brewed. Tangbao likes it." Little Tangbao was so happy that she danced with joy. She took the pony from the box, held it in her arms and played with it non-stop.
Mo Junye saw it and smiled tenderly. He rubbed Xiao Tangbao's head lovingly and said, "It turns out that Xiao Tangbao likes this kind of gadget."
Little Sugar Baby nodded, "I like it."
"I'll make one for you next time. It's not difficult." Mo Junye studied the pony's joints and patted his chest to make a promise.
Next time he wants not only to be a pony, but a walking pony.
Mo Yuyao, who was not far away, saw Xiao Tangbao playing with the jade horse and her face immediately changed. "Grandmother, didn't you say you would give me this little jade horse?"
"Oh, you already have a pair, and I saw that there was nothing else suitable for the little baby, so I gave it to her as a reward." The Queen Mother didn't care too much.
"No." Mo Yuyao frowned, looking very unhappy. "My two horses are made of agate and enamel, and this one is made of white jade. They are different. I thought the Empress Dowager would give me the jade horse as a reward as well."
The Queen Mother smiled and touched Mo Yuyao's face, "You little bastard, I will definitely remember to give it to you next time."
Now that things were said, Mo Yuyao couldn't make any more trouble and could only nod obediently.
Not far away, Shen Feiyu sat in a wheelchair, watching the lively scene quietly.
"Master, you have also prepared a gift for the young lady, why don't you give it to her?" Chuntao asked in a low voice while pushing the wheelchair.
Shen Feiyu smiled and shook his head. "I'm a useless person. It would be embarrassing if I were seen by others. Why would I bother to be disliked?"
"How could it be!" Chun Tao frowned, her pretty face full of resentment, "It's all because of the villain that the young master is now like this."
"And even if that's the case, our young master is still a handsome man, and he would be much better than those other young masters if he went out!"
"You don't have to make me happy." Shen Feiyu's eyes darkened.
If Xiaotangbao hadn't helped him restore his face, he would not only be a useless man with broken tendons in his hands and feet, but also an extremely ugly monster.
He is already content that he has recovered to the point where he can walk outside without scaring others.
There is no need to drag this crippled body around to embarrass the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion.
Seeing that Shen Feiyu insisted on leaving, Chuntao had no choice but to push him away.
But before he took two steps away, he came face to face with Mo Yuyao who was wandering around.
Mo Yuyao tilted her head and looked at Shen Feiyu, her face full of curiosity, "Who are you and why are you sitting on a moving chair?"
Shen Feiyu could tell that the little girl in front of him was of noble status, but he didn't know her identity, so he just answered politely, "I am Shen Feiyu, the eldest son of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. Little girl, who are you from?"
"How dare you! Who allowed you to speak to our Princess Yuyao like that?" The nanny following behind Mo Yuyao spoke in a tone full of arrogance.
"Sorry." Shen Feiyu cupped his hands, "I'm just shortsighted."
"Why are all the people in your Yongyi Marquis' Mansion so weird? There's a cripple who can't walk, and there's this so-called goddess. Are they all just kidding?"
Mo Yuyao stared at Shen Feiyu coldly.
Shen Feiyu's face was gloomy, his ink-black eyes were filled with pain, the man's jawline was taut, and his profile was sharp. He didn't want to cause any trouble on such a happy day, and he tried his best to endure it.
Chuntao's face turned red with anger.
Isn't this targeting their eldest son? !
How could this princess be so rude and unreasonable!
