Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 320

Chapter 320

~ KING YUE WHO DOESN’T ASK FOR ANSWERS ~

Mu Yunyao got up to get her cloak, but the instant her fingers touched it, she abruptly pulled her fingers back . She walked to the bedside and sat down as if nothing had happened . It’s already so late, and this is Baohua Temple . Who knows if she would get hit or encounter any danger after going out? So . . . . . .

Before she finished thinking, she heard Si Qin knock on the door . “Miss, are you asleep?”

“Not yet . What’s wrong?”

“Just now, many lanterns had suddenly flowed down in Ling Xi River on the west side of Baohua Temple . Many pilgrims, who came to offer incense, had come to take a look, and Madam also wanted to take a look . Thus, so she let this servant come and see if you had slept . ”

“Lanterns?” Mu Yunyao suddenly thought of the two words written on the piece of paper sent over by Yue w.a.n.g . Her fingertips felt as if they were scalded as they tightened . Could it be that he was talking about this?

“I . . . . I’ll accompany Mother to take a look . ”

When Mu Yunyao followed Su Qing to Ling Xi River, she saw exquisite river lanterns flowing down the stream . The river lanterns were shaped like lotuses, and the heart of the flowers was lit with a candle flame, illuminating the entire river lanterns, making it shining exquisitely .

The river water jingled, and the river lanterns flickered . Borrowing the starlight that filled the sky, it was so beautiful that one could not bear to look away .

Many people in the surroundings were discussing in whispers, “Is this river lantern specially arranged by the Baohua Temple?”

“There isn’t any big conference right now, so it shouldn’t be . Also, if it’s the arrangement of the Baohua Temple, the pilgrims should be informed in advance . ”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes were focused on the stream . Everyone else was sighing over the origin of the river lantern, but she could see the pattern drawn on the lotus flower petal of the river lantern . It was precisely the same appearance with the ice lanterns that Yue w.a.n.g had given her back in Jingling City .

She did not know why, but her face was slightly hot . It was hard to tell if she was angry or not . Yue w.a.n.g was too bold . Isn’t it . . . . . Isn’t he afraid that people will see through it?

“It’s so beautiful . . . . . ” Su Qing sighed with emotion and turned to look at Mu Yunyao, only to find that she was pursing her lips and her face was slightly flushed . “Yao’er, what’s wrong with you?”

“Hmm? I’m fine . I merely couldn’t help but be captivated by the beautiful scenery in front of me . Does Mother still want to follow and watch?” While she was still in a daze, the river lantern had already drifted out for some distance .

“No need, there are so many people ahead . I merely have a look from here . ” Su Qing couldn’t help but sigh . “The Baohua Temple is truly a good place . After coming here, not only is the mind tranquil, the scenery also makes one feel relaxed and happy . Yao’er, you have to wake up early and kneel down tomorrow . Hurriedly go back to rest . ”

“Alright . ” Mu Yunyao stepped forward and held onto Su Qing’s arm as she accompanied her to the room at the back . After walking just two steps, she seemed to have sensed something, turning her head to look at the stream . She saw Yue w.a.n.g standing silently among the crowd .

He was dressed in profound colored clothes, and his figure was tall and straight . His eyes were clear and cold . It was like he was blending in with the cold night . However, the focused and bright light in his eyes was clearly reflected in Mu Yunyao’s eyes, causing her heart to tremble inexplicably, made her feel strange and open her mouth involuntarily: “Mother . . . . ”

Su Qing stopped and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I . . . I wanted to take a look at the stream . Let Si Qin and Si Qi accompany you back first . ”

“Very well, then let Si Qin accompany you to see it . You haven’t had a good rest in the past few days, so please go back to your room and rest after watching it . ”

“Yes . ” A gentle breeze blew by as Mu Yunyao watched Su Qing go back . Mu Yunyao suddenly realized what she had said . However, You w.a.n.g had already looked over with a smile . When she turned around to leave, it seemed that she was too eager to cover it up, so she could only slowly walk over .

There were a lot of people around . Yue w.a.n.g didn’t deliberately turn his head to look at Mu Yunyao but placed his gaze on the side of Lingxi River . However, the light in his eyes was even brighter than the river lanterns in the stream . “Do you like it?”

“Fourth Master is really in high spirits . ” Mu Yunyao did not answer, but inwardly, she thought about how much time he had spent making all these lanterns .

Yue w.a.n.g slightly raised his lips . He only wanted to make her happy, and he didn’t need to get the answer from her mouth . He only needed to remember her expression when she looked at the river lanterns . the warm light in her eyes is enough . “There is another thing . Look to the East . ”

Mu Yunyao’s forehead twitched as she looked to the east according to Yue w.a.n.g’s words . She saw Grand Princess Yi De walking over slowly .

The Grand Princess Yi De was wearing a simple and elegant long dress . She didn’t seem to want to show up or make a scene . She was only accompanied by Mama Qu . Her whole body was not as n.o.ble and alienated as she had seen in the Palace before, making her appear a bit more approachable .

Mu Yunyao wanted to retract her gaze and avoid her, but just as she was about to do so, she met Grand Princess Yi’s gaze . She could only hurriedly step forward and pay her respects . “ Greetings, Madam . . . ”

Mama Qu was a bit worried at first . However, after hearing Mu Yunyao’s address, her gaze loosened up a bit .

Grand Princess Yi De was a bit surprised . She hadn’t expected to run into Mu Yunyao here . “What a coincidence . You’re also here to watch the river lanterns?”

“Yes . Tomorrow is the day of my granfather’s death, so I came to Baohua Temple to kneel and pray for blessings . ”

Grand Princess Yi De smiled slightly . “What a filial child . ”

Yue w.a.n.g then walked over, his voice carrying a rare emotion: “Aunt, the sky is getting cold . Why don’t you put on your cloak?”

“It’s alright . Mama Qu wants to take it, but I want to walk around in the quiet and peaceful area . It’s not far away, so you don’t have to worry . ”

After Yue w.a.n.g heard this, he frowned slightly, “Mama Qu, I’ll stay here to accompany Aunt . Go back and get a cloak . ”

“Yes . ”

Grand Princess Yi De looked at Mu Yunyao, who was standing silently at the side . “The scenery here isn’t bad . You should slowly enjoy it . ” With that, she headed straight to the prayer hall with Yue w.a.n.g .

“Send Madam respectfully . ”

Waiting until Grand Princess Yi De and Yue w.a.n.g had left, Mu Yunyao didn’t stay any longer . She directly turned around and walked towards the side room . She could sense the intention of Yue w.a.n.g to let her communicate with the Grand Princess, but she did not plan to rely on the ident.i.ty and status of the Grand Princess . If too many human relationships are involved, the relationship becomes too complicated . Once attached, it was not easy for her to escape unscathed .

It was already very late in the night, but the abbot of Baohua Temple, Great Master Yuan Guang, was standing at the door of the prayer hall .

“Amitabha . The female benefactor is here . ”

The Grand Princess Yi De slightly bowed towards Great Master Yuan Guang with her hands folded . “Greetings, Great Master . I am here to offer you incense . ”

With a smile on his face, Great Master Yuan Guang bent down slightly, gesturing for the Grand Princess Yi De to enter the prayer hall . He then personally brought some incense sticks and offered them to her .

Holding the incense in her hand, the Grand Princess raised her head to look at the golden statue of Buddha with a merciful look on her face . “Great Master, I’ve made a wish for more than thirty years in a row, but I’ve never had the chance to make it . Now that I’m old, will I ever have the chance to make it in my life?”

Every year, when she comes to Baohua temple to offer incense, her wish was to find her lost daughter . However, after so many years had pa.s.sed, her child was still missing . She didn’t even know if she was still alive or dead .

“Amitabha, His Royal Highness Grand Princess has done many good deeds in her life . The Heavens will not treat the good people unjustly . ”

Grand Princess Yi De faintly smiled, but the light in her eyes constantly flickered . “Great Master, can Buddha be trusted?”

“Amitabha, Buddha is merciful . If you believe it, then you will have it . If you don’t believe me, then you will have nothing . It all depends on the Grand Princess herself . ”
