Yun Qingluo paused, then smiled slightly and said, "Miss Mo? Isn't her family in Yingyue City? She's followed me all the way to the capital."
Yun Tao chuckled, "I heard that during the war, the Mo family donated most of their wealth to help the Tianmo Kingdom's army, so the emperor bestowed the title of Princess Pingning upon Mo Yuyan, the eldest daughter of the Mo family."
Yun Qingluo frowned slightly; the news she heard in Yingyue City was not like that.
The Emperor has been dissatisfied with the Mo family for a long time, so why would he suddenly bestow the title of Princess?
"Is the information reliable?" Yun Qingluo asked, looking at Yun Tao.
Yun Tao nodded, "Of course, it was the imperial decree issued on our way back to the capital. Now everyone knows that there is a Princess Pingning in Yingyue City, personally bestowed by the Emperor."
Yun Qingluo recalled the story of the top scholar.
It's likely that the Emperor never intended to marry the Eighth Princess to the top scholar, so he created this so-called princess to keep the top scholar in check.
"Where is she?" Yun Qingluo asked in a low voice.
"I heard that when the imperial decree was issued, Princess Pingning was granted a mansion, which seems to be just two streets away from us. I suppose she should be there," Yun Tao replied.
Yun Qingluo nodded and stopped paying attention to the matter.
She took a sip of tea and suddenly remembered the situation in the harem. "Oh, by the way, how did things go in the harem that day?"
She was just bored at the moment, so she had the leisure to care about those idle people.
Yunxin clicked her tongue. "It was a terrible scene. In the Empress's palace, apart from the Empress whom you rescued, all the other concubines were killed in the explosion. What was that thing? It was incredibly powerful."
"They were all blown up?" Yun Qingluo asked in astonishment.
Yun Xin gave Yun Qingluo a reassuring look, "Yes, they were all blown up, even the palace servants inside died."
The empress was suspected of plotting to harm royal offspring and was deposed and banished to the cold palace.
The Emperor has already written an edict of self-reproach and gone to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to live out his remaining years. The other princes have been sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. The Eighth Princess has reportedly become a nun. She said that she wishes to spend the rest of her life with the ancient Buddha and the lamp, and to pray for the Tianmo Kingdom.
"By the way, as for the throne, I heard it was abdicated in favor of a prince, but the imperial edict hasn't been announced yet. We only know this from what An Jiu said."
Yun Qingluo picked up a lychee and looked at Yun Xin with a smile, "Wow, Yun Xin, you're quite well-informed now, you're pretty familiar with An Jiu."
Yunxin stomped her foot in annoyance, "Your Highness, you just woke up and you're already making fun of Yunxin. I'm angry. I'll never tell you gossip again."
"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. Go check if Zeyan and Qianyue are awake yet."
"If they wake up, carry them to the flower hall. Father and Mother should be here soon. When they arrive, take them to the flower hall." Yun Qingluo stood up, said, and walked towards the flower hall.
After walking for a while, I encountered Mo Feng walking towards me.
"Your subordinate greets Your Highness." Mo Feng stopped and bowed.
Yun Qingluo nodded slightly. "Mofeng, where is the Prince?"
Mo Feng's expression was somewhat indignant. "The prince was invited into the palace by those old ministers, presumably to discuss state affairs."
The prince specifically asked me to return and convey a message to the princess: he cannot accompany you to entertain the general and his wife today. If you need anything, please contact me or Butler Mo.
Yun Qinglu frowned slightly. "Ah Chen isn't coming back for dinner? Did he have breakfast before he left this morning?"
Mo Feng nodded. "I've had some breakfast, Your Highness, you don't need to worry."
“You’ve gotten used to being by the Prince’s side, and he’s gotten used to ordering you around. You should go find the Prince yourself, so he won’t be unable to find someone suitable when he needs someone,” Yun Qingluo said to Mo Feng.
Mo Feng was conflicted. He really wanted to go, but the prince had instructed him to return and protect the princess.
"Go quickly. Mo Yu should be at the manor. I'll contact him if I need anything. Besides, I'm not going out, so what's there to worry about? Go quickly."
Yun Qinglu waved to Mo Feng.
Mo Feng glanced at Yun Qingluo, then nodded and left.
The prince was indeed worried about facing those old fogies alone.
Although Han Shaoqing was there, the prince was still used to using him.
Supporting Yun Qingluo, Yun Tao watched Mo Feng's departing figure and said with a smile, "Your Highness really cares about the Princess."
Yun Qinglu smiled, said nothing, and continued walking towards the flower hall.
As soon as I arrived at the flower hall, I heard Butler Mo's voice.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Madam Yun has arrived." Butler Mo jogged over to report.
Before Yun Qingluo could even sit down, she heard Butler Mo's voice and headed towards the door.
"Butler, why are you running so fast? You can leave the errands to the servants." Yun Qingluo said, looking at Butler Mo, who was panting heavily from running.
Butler Mo didn't seem to care at all. "Hey, when you get old, you have to move around more. Your Highness, Madam Yun's carriage is coming this way. It's probably already at the door. If Your Highness wants to go to greet her, you'll have to wear a cloak. It's windy outside."
Yun Qinglu smiled gratefully, "Butler Mo is so thoughtful."
Butler Mo smiled kindly, "Haha, this was specially instructed by His Highness before he left. His Highness knew that if Madam Yun came, the Princess Consort would definitely go to greet her personally. That's why the cloak was placed directly in the flower hall, just waiting for the Princess Consort to put it on when she goes out."
Yun Qingluo looked in the direction Butler Mo was pointing.
Sure enough, on a table in the corner of the flower hall, there was a tray with a fiery red cloak on it.
“Red is festive and auspicious, and it makes people look more energetic. Yun Tao, quickly help the princess put on her cloak so that she can go to greet Madam Yun.” The steward instructed Yun Tao.
"Your Highness, please go and fetch Madam Yun first. I'll go see the young master and young lady. Madam Yun must miss her grandson very much, so I'll bring him over to see him." The steward turned to Yun Qingluo and said.
Yun Qingluo sighed again, wondering where Mo Beichen had found such a thoughtful butler.
They've considered things far too thoroughly.
"I've already sent someone to fetch the children. The two little ones should be awake by now. I'd like to trouble Butler Mo to check on them again, and be careful not to let them catch a cold," Yun Qingluo instructed worriedly.
She knew that Butler Mo was meticulous, but perhaps becoming a mother would make her more talkative.
Butler Mo nodded and walked towards the backyard.
Yun Qingluo turned to Yun Tao and asked, "Quickly, look at my complexion, is there anything unusual?"
Yun Tao carefully examined her. "The princess has used a lot of blush today, which makes her look quite healthy and energetic. I don't think Madam can tell."
Yun Qingluo was relieved and led Yun Tao toward the gate of the mansion.
Just as Yun Qingluo reached the door, Yunmu was getting off the carriage.
The two elder brothers had already dismounted, and the eldest brother, Yun Ziheng, was supporting Yun's mother in front of the carriage.
"Mother, eldest brother, second brother!" Yun Qingluo exclaimed in surprise.
When Yunmu saw Yun Qingluo, she quickly walked over, and Yun Qingluo hurriedly went to greet her.
Logically, Yunmu and the others should have paid their respects to Yun Qingluo.
However, when Yunmu saw Yun Qingluo, her eyes were already red, and she forgot all about etiquette for a moment.
