Chapter 694

After the envoys from the northern border left, the emperor left King Yue. He asked with concern and curiosity: "Fourth brother, what happened to you these past few days?" It had been five or six days. As he stood there, the entire hall felt cool. Many officials were trembling in fear and trepidation, especially those standing around him.
He didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Your Majesty, your servant brother is fine."
"You still dare to say that it's alright with that expression of yours?" Ning Junyu stretched her shoulders and allowed Xu Li to drink the tea, before sitting down on the stairs to look at King Yue, "Fourth brother, I, your second brother, am someone who has been through a long time. If you have anything to say, just say it out, and I'll give you an idea."
"I …" Yue Yang was a little hesitant, but after pondering for a moment, he followed Ning Junyu's example and sat down on the stairs, saying, "I have angered Yao'er."
Ning Junyu's eyes lit up and her lips curled up into a smile, "Quickly tell me, how did you provoke Fourth Sister-in-Law?" After he finished speaking, he felt that he was taking pleasure in another's misfortune. He immediately coughed and hid his smile, bringing along a trace of worry.
The corner of Ning Junyue's mouth twitched. His second brother seemed to have changed since he ascended to the throne, becoming even more out of tune with him than before. Was it because no one could control him now?
"I... "He said that he lied to her …"
Ning Junyu was surprised, "Fourth brother, you... Did you make some kind of mistake, did you go to drink flower wine? "I heard that a new Fanghua Pavilion has been opened recently, claiming that the young lady inside is extremely beautiful, with a single tree growing within it. It's said that …"
King Yue stood up, tidied up his court uniform and walked out. He must have gone crazy to think that his second brother could give him such a serious idea. Only the empress could manage this person!
"Hey, Fourth Brother... "Fourth brother, don't be in such a hurry. Second brother won't say anymore nonsense. Don't go …"
Yue Zhong eyed the Type 4 White-Scaled Tiger for a long time, and then said: "I'll leave now."
Ning Junyu shook her head in pity. Such a good opportunity to watch the commotion had been missed. "Xu Li, what is the empress doing?"
"Your majesty, two new parrots have been sent in from outside the palace. Esteemed Empress likes them very much, and should be teasing them to speak."
"I'll go take a look as well." Xu Li hesitated. "Your majesty, the empress just said that she wanted you to focus on the government …" After a few days of peace and quiet, the emperor suddenly changed his personality. Apart from the imperial court, he moved the rest of the memorial to the empress's palace, causing many officials in the imperial court to be dissatisfied.
Home was also played. The empress was infuriated as she rejected the emperor's offer to go to her palace once again. She didn't know how long the ban would last …
The emperor's footsteps did not stop. "Something has happened in Fourth Brother's family. Aren't I looking for the empress to discuss some countermeasures?"
Xu Li didn't dare say anything else. After giving the orders, he bowed and followed by the side. These days, the officials were all making a ruckus about the selection. The Empress was definitely in a bad mood, so it was better for the emperor to enlighten her.
"Fourth Master, just now, there was a message from Tombal Mountain City in Jiangnan. Old Qin had already handed over the things he did not envy, and he will be heading back to the capital in a few days' time."
Hearing this, King Yue's heart skipped a beat: "Okay, tell Yu Heng to pack up a yard and come out. Uncle Qin has been working hard recently, so when you return, you should take a good rest."
"Yes, Your Highness. Old Qin even had someone deliver a gift, specifying that it was for the wangfei. Do you want to personally make a trip to deliver it to the wangfei?"
King Yue's footsteps paused, "Royal Consort …. What did the wangfei do today? " Still angry?
"The wangfei went to the storehouse today and locked herself in her room after that. I heard she didn't even use her lunch."
"How can we not eat? Bring the gift over, I'll send it over to the wangfei."
"Yes."
King Yue walked into the courtyard. He frowned slightly and undisguised worry could be seen in his eyes.
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao, who were guarding the door, hurriedly bowed. "Your servant greets Your Highness."
"Where's the wangfei?"
"The princess consort is in her room …" Before the two of them could even speak, King Yue had already pushed open the door and walked in.
Mu Yunyao's fingers that were fiddling with the zither stopped. She raised her eyes to look at the Titan who had barged in, "Master Four, why are you in such a hurry? What urgent matter has happened?"
Seeing the situation in the room, King Yue was stunned at the door.
King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao, then at the zither in front of her. His heart was filled with complex emotions, as he felt his throat become extremely hoarse: "Yao`er …" Isn't she playing anymore? Or could it be that it was because he mentioned it that she took out the zither again?
Mu Yunyao raised her head and retracted the hand that she had placed on the zither. Her wide, cloudy sleeves swayed according to her movements, and slid off the zither like flowing water. "Fourth Master, do you want to hear me play the zither now?"
Yue Yang shook his head: "Yao'er, I am sorry. I shouldn't have tested you. "I'm just jealous. I don't want you to be nice to others. I …" The emotions in his heart were just too strong. Waves of feelings were like flowing water that rushed into his heart, as if it would flood out in the next moment and drown him out. Master Four, don't you want to hear it? " Looking at his nervous and helpless appearance, Mu Yunyao sighed in her heart. In the end, she was the one who hid the truth first, but those experiences were too intense, she did not want to recall them, nor did she want to admit them. Even if she knew that King Fu had already guessed the truth …
She didn't want to touch it again.
"I don't want to hear it anymore. Yao`er, my fingers were injured from playing the zither, so I don't want to play anymore." Yue Yang stepped forward and wanted to pull Mu Yunyao up into his embrace, but she smiled and shook her head, stopping him.
Her slender white fingers were like white jade sculptures. She gently raised her wrist and slightly moved her fingertips. As she waved her fingers, the zither sounds were like the light touch of a pearl, like the cry of a young phoenix.
King Yue foolishly looked at Mu Yunyao. She focused on playing the zither, her red lips curving upwards, but her eyes drooping slightly. Warmth circulated in her eyes, and along with the zither music in her hands, every sound transmitted a deep friendship.
For the first time, he felt that a person's playing the zither could be so pleasant to hear. The sound of the zither was like a soft murmur that flowed out from her fingertips and entered his ears, flowing into his heart and turning into a drizzle.
When the song came to its end, Mu Yunyao retracted her sleeves and slowly stood up, "Fourth Master, do you still feel regret in your heart?"
Yue Yang stepped forward and pulled Mu Yunyao into his embrace, "Yao`er, I won't think anymore. It's all my fault, I'm sorry …" Mu Yunyao smiled with the corner of her mouth, "I didn't understand it in the past, so why would someone say that I played the zither empty-handed and lacked spirituality? But now, I do understand a bit, in the next few days I'll concentrate on studying zither techniques. I'll trouble Fourth Master to rest in the front courtyard."
