Chapter 94: Volume 1, Chapter 94: This is trying to give her special privileges?
Early the next morning.
A scream of "Ah—" broke the tranquility of Mingyue Building's morning.
Bizhu and Cai'er, who were sweeping outside, ran up and looked at the tightly closed door with worry, asking, "What's wrong with Xixue sister? What happened?"
There was a moment of silence inside, and then came Xixue's voice, which had already regained calm. "Nothing."
Bizhu and Cai'er looked at each other, then continued their work.
A cup of tea's time later, Yun Qiyue, in a light purple dress and a light purple veil covering her face, appeared in the courtyard.
Cai'er looked at Yun Qiyue and exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "Miss is so beautiful..."
At this time, Yun Qiyue, in a light purple dress, a light purple veil covering her face, with a graceful figure and an upright posture, had an outstanding temperament that made people unable to move their eyes away at a glance.
Hearing this, Yun Qiyue curled her lips slightly, but her gaze glanced toward Bizhu's side as if inadvertently.
Afterward, Yun Qiyue's gaze fell on Qingyan who came in from the door.
Qingyan: "Eldest Miss, everything is prepared."
Hearing this, Yun Qiyue took Xixue and walked toward the door.
At this time, the Marquis Mansion side.
The people of the Marquis Mansion swept away the previous gloom, each dressed very grandly, each with a red face, as if the Hundred Flowers Festival today, the daughter of their Marquis Mansion would definitely stand out.
Old Madam Chen's gaze swept toward the legitimate granddaughter Yun Yarou and Yun Yaxiang, and a satisfied look appeared in her eyes.
Now fully recovered, one was dignified and gentle, the other was lively and cute, such two granddaughters with different but outstanding appearances, how could the Old Madam not be satisfied?
But when the gaze swept toward the concubine daughter Yun Xinlian of the first branch and the concubine daughter Yun Xinzh of the third branch on the side, the satisfaction in her eyes became serious.
"You two, you must remember when entering the palace today, everything must be for the legitimate sister first, do not show off and grab the limelight of the legitimate sister, do you know?"
In the eyes of the Marquis Mansion, the protagonists today were the two legitimate daughters, Yun Yarou and Yun Yaxiang.
As for why they brought the concubine daughters?
That was also because the opportunity today was rare, if the concubine daughters could also find a satisfactory husband at the Hundred Flowers Festival, it would also be a big help to the Marquis Mansion.
In short, regardless of legitimate or concubine, in the eyes of the Old Madam or the first and third branches, everything that could be utilized must be utilized.
Hearing this, Yun Xinlian and Yun Xinzh both knelt down, both responding obediently. "Yes, Grandmother."
It's just that there was unwillingness and ambition flashing in Yun Xinlian's eyes, while Yun Xinzh's face looked calm and without contention.
After explaining to the two concubine granddaughters, the Old Madam was satisfied, and supported by the two legitimate granddaughters, walked toward the door.
When the people of the Marquis Mansion arrived at the door, the General's Mansion's carriage had already slowly driven out.
Looking at Yun Qiyue's carriage driving away by itself, Yun Laofuren's good mood of the morning instantly dissipated, and she couldn't help but spit to the side. "Uneducated thing, don't even know how to wait for elders."
Hearing this, Yun Yarou curled her lips, but said gently to comfort Yun Laofuren. "Grandmother, don't argue with her, it's not worth it to ruin your body."
With the precious granddaughter comforting her, Yun Laofuren felt better.
After Yun Yarou helped
The eyes of the mother and daughter met in the air, and then they silently boarded their respective carriages.
On the other side, when Yun Qiyue's carriage arrived at the palace gate, a long queue had already formed.
At the very front of the line, once a carriage passed the guards' inspection, it would be cleared to proceed, then driven to the outer plaza of the imperial palace, after which one would walk to the Imperial Garden.
Everything was orderly; no one in this long line dared to cut in.
Yet, in front of the other palace gate nearby, there were only two or three carriages, not crowded in the slightest.
Clearly, those who could use that passage were either wealthy or noble.
But Yun Qiyue was not among those wealthy or noble, so her carriage could only wait at the back of the long line.
As it happened, the people from the Marquis Mansion did not fall far behind Yun Qiyue, following closely behind her carriage.
Just then, a mama came to the outside of Yun Qiyue's carriage and asked respectfully, "Is this the carriage of the Yun Sanyuan?"
The mama's voice caused many of the noblewomen and young ladies waiting in their carriages to lift their curtains, and when they saw who the mama was, their eyes were filled with shock.
Because that mama was actually Chu Mama, who was by Xuanyuan Rao's side.
It is often said that even a servant at the Prime Minister's gate is a third-rank official; as a powerful princess, the capable mama by Xuanyuan Rao's side was naturally very influential.
Why was Chu Mama looking for Yun Qiyue at this time?
While everyone was puzzled, Yun Qiyue lifted the carriage curtain.
When Yun Qiyue appeared, her veiled appearance caused great alarm in the hearts of the onlookers.
Yun Qiyue ignored those gazes, looked at Chu Mama with a calm expression, and said in a neither humble nor pushy tone, "Does the mama have business with me?"
Regarding Yun Qiyue's attitude, Chu Mama was not annoyed, only saying respectfully, "The Princess says the line here is too long, and invites the Yun Sanyuan to enter the palace through that gate."
As she spoke, Chu Mama pointed to the palace gate where only one carriage was parked.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue's eyes brightened.
Was this special treatment being offered to her?
She couldn't have asked for more.
After all, at this rate, it would take her at least an hour to enter the palace.
She had no time to waste.
"Many thanks to Chu Mama, and please, Chu Mama, convey our gratitude from the Yun family to the Princess."
Before Yun Qiyue could speak, a gentle voice rang out from the side.
Yun Qiyue looked over and saw that it was Yun Yarou.
Yun Qiyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the slightly frowning Chu Mama, and very simply acted as a background prop.
Since Yun Yarou wanted to add a scene for herself, she would let her perform it well.
Because of the incident at the Princess Mansion, Chu Mama could not feel fond of Yun Yarou, so upon seeing her, Chu Mama's attitude was very cold: "This old servant invited the Yun Sanyuan; the Second Miss Yun need not be so polite to this old servant."
Chu Mama's merciless words caused Yun Yarou's expression to stiffen.
She could even feel the mocking gazes cast at her from the surrounding carriages.
Yet, looking at the long line ahead that seemed to have no end, and thinking that many noble ladies had already entered the palace, Yun Yarou endured the embarrassment.
No matter what, she had to enter the palace early; otherwise, now that the Crown Prince had just broken off his engagement with Yun Qiyue, who knew which seductive vixen might go to seduce the Crown Prince?
Thinking this, Yun Yarou ignored the embarrassment and said, "Mama, we are with the Third Sister; since the mama has invited her, I should naturally thank the mama as well."
The meaning was clear: they were with the Yun family and Yun Qiyue, so if Yun Qiyue could use that gate, they, being together, could naturally use it too.
If it were an ordinary person, after Yun Yarou said this, even if the original arrangement wasn't like that, they would default to such an arrangement.
However, Chu Mama was not an ordinary person; she was the capable mama by the side of a powerful Princess.
Chu Mama only looked at Yun Yarou impatiently; she had seen many like Yun Yarou, and she truly did not need to give her any face.
However, she still needed to know Yun Qiyue's attitude, so she looked at her: "What does the Yun Sanyuan say?"
Yun Yarou also looked at Yun Qiyue, somewhat nervously: "Third Sister, we..."
"I am from the General's Mansion." Before Yun Yarou could finish, Yun Qiyue spoke coldly.
The meaning was clear: it had nothing to do with the Yun family or the Marquis Mansion.
"You..." Yun Yarou did not expect Yun Qiyue to undermine her in public, and could not help but feel somewhat annoyed.
Chu Mama did not want to waste time with Yun Yarou and directly drove her away: "The Second Miss Yun heard, right? Please return to your carriage and wait in line properly; don't think about these irrelevant things."
These words were quite stern and unsympathetic.
No matter how thick-skinned Yun Yarou was, after Chu Mama said this and she could hear the surrounding laughter, she could no longer stay, and returned to her carriage, ashamed and furious.
The others from the Yun family, seeing Yun Yarou fail, all felt disappointed, and fearing ridicule, they all lowered their curtains.
Thus, Yun Qiyue's carriage drove slowly toward the palace gate that symbolized status and power, under the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the crowd.
But just as Yun Qiyue's carriage came to a steady stop, she heard the Princess's voice from the carriage next door: "Yun Sanyuan, this Princess finds it quite boring to be alone; why don't you come into this Princess's carriage to keep me company?"
Yun Qiyue was stunned upon hearing this.
She and the Princess didn't seem to be close, right? So why ask her to come and keep her company?
Subconsciously, Yun Qiyue thought of the man in that courtyard who was terminally ill.
However, Yun Qiyue quickly dismissed this thought.
No one saw her when she was saving the person; it was impossible for the Princess to know she had been to that courtyard.
But if it wasn't because of that man, then why was the Princess looking for her?
Carrying this doubt, Yun Qiyue got off the carriage and walked toward the Princess's carriage...
