Chapter 199: In prosperous times, beauties are needed to embellish, and in troubled times, beauties
The moment Chen Zui turned around, Yun Musheng suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
Chen felt the pulling force the most and paused.
He didn't expect that a well-behaved lady like Yun Musheng would grab a man's clothes, and he was a little surprised.
Chen Zui turned around and saw Yun Musheng lowering her head. She was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at him.
"Miss Yun..."
Yun Musheng knew that her behavior was inappropriate, but she couldn't help it. She didn't want Chen Zui to go to Nalan Country at all.
Once you arrive in Nalan Country, how can you come back in a short while?
Perhaps this farewell is an eternal farewell.
Yun Mu Sheng couldn't help but clenched her teeth, feeling anxious and uneasy in her heart. After a moment, she said:
"Is it really necessary to go?"
"Ah."
"Then...can...can you...take me with you?"
Yun Musheng raised his head anxiously and looked into Chen's deepest eyes.
Chen Zui's goal was achieved, but even he couldn't believe it was so easy.
He looked at Yun Musheng steadily, even though the woman in front of him suppressed his emotions, those eyes full of water still spoke of friendship.
Chen Zui: "..."
He had never liked someone before, and he didn't understand what it felt like to love someone. He didn't understand why Yun Musheng fell in love with him so quickly and was even willing to follow him to Nalan when he didn't know him well.
Even if Yun Musheng is a little more difficult to conquer, Chen Zui's mood will not be as indescribable as it is at this moment.
Yun Musheng became more and more nervous due to his probing eyes.
"Is that okay?" she asked expectantly.
Chen Zui said slowly: "No."
Yun Musheng's little face wrinkled as her expectations were shattered.
"why?"
"Shang Shu Yun will not agree."
"If I convince my father, can Lord Chen take me there?"
"cannot?"
"why?"
"..." Chen Zu didn't say why and stubbornly moved forward.
As he moved, the corner of Yun Musheng's clothes was pulled away from her hand.
She stood in the alley holding an oil-paper umbrella, and her eyes became increasingly blurry. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was the heavy rain or the tears filling her eyes.
Chen Zui's figure gradually faded away, as if he and Yun Musheng had said goodbye today and would never see each other again.
Yun Musheng wanted to stop him, but his throat seemed to be blocked by cotton and he couldn't make a sound.
Just as he was about to step onto the carriage, Chen turned around slowly.
"The rain is getting heavier. Miss Yun, please go back home quickly. I'll... say goodbye to you."
After saying that, he entered the carriage without any hesitation.
The curtains of the carriage were lowered, isolating Chen Zui's figure. The carriage moved forward slowly, the sound of wheels echoing in the silent street.
Calm returned to the alley area, and the entire Taiping Street was quiet, as if Yun Musheng was the only one.
Qing Dai leaned against the window and looked out, and saw Yun Musheng walking out of the alley alone, looking lonely with those sad eyes, pitiful and helpless.
Qingdai got off the car immediately and stepped forward to help Yun Musheng board the car.
In the carriage, Yun Musheng looked sad and sat leaning against the window, thoughtfully.
The carriage headed towards Yun Mansion.
Back at the house, Yun Musheng leaned listlessly by the window, lingering in sadness, and stared blankly at the rain that was falling harder and harder.
Qingdai was very worried. Although she didn't know what happened between her young lady and Mr. Chen Hou, she had a hunch that the young lady's depression was related to Mr. Chen Hou.
As a maid, she could not help much, so she could only place the young lady's favorite cakes in front of her, full of fragrance and colorful, in order to divert her attention.
Yun Musheng glanced at it casually and had no appetite at all.
"Qingdai, I want to be alone for a while, please go down." Yun Musheng said softly, with a hint of exhaustion in his tone.
Qingdai responded helplessly and left lightly.
Yun Musheng stretched one hand out of the window, and the rain hit her green fingers, quickly moistening them and making them cool, just like her mood at the moment.
The rain slid down her fingertips, and she looked into the distance, wondering what she was thinking.
It rained all night and stopped at dawn the next day.
The rain has taken away part of the heat, the air is filled with a moist and fresh atmosphere, and the sky is as blue as water.
The weather was nice, but Yun Musheng was not in a good mood because of Chen Zui's incident.
However, what made her mood even worse was that someone suddenly came to the palace to summon her, and Queen Yan invited her to the palace.
The Queen's intention was so obvious that Yun Musheng couldn't even pretend that he didn't know what she wanted.
Yun Musheng didn't want to go, so he ordered Qingdai to tell the people in the palace that she was still ill and might transmit the illness to the Queen Mother, so she couldn't enter the palace.
Qingdai responded to the nanny who came from the palace according to her words.
That grandma is in her 40s, and has long since become a human being after more than 20 years of training in the harem.
She frowned slightly, rather unkindly: "Seriously?"
Qing Dai could count on one hand the number of times she had interacted with people in the palace. She was a little timid when surrounded by the other party's strong aura.
But after all, she is a maid trained in the residence of a first-class official, and her concentration is still very good.
Qingdai suppressed her timidity and said slowly:
"Yesterday, my young lady went to the General's Mansion to look at her watch. She didn't expect to get caught in the rain. Maybe she caught a cold. When she woke up this morning, she started to have a headache and felt uncomfortable all over. She also had some fever."
Qingdai kept observing her grandma's expression while she was speaking. Seeing that her expression softened, she knew that the other party believed her.
What she said was true. Even if she didn't believe it and went to investigate, she could only come up with this result.
"My young lady is afraid that she will spread her illness to the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother has to summon my young lady for something very urgent, I will go and dress her up."
Mammy raised her hand to interrupt: "No need, since Miss Yun is not feeling well, she should take good care of her health."
It did rain heavily yesterday. A beauty like Miss Yun looks extremely fragile at first glance. It is normal for her to get sick in the rain. What if she is forcibly brought to the palace and the illness is transmitted to the Queen Mother? Oh no.
Qingdai watched her grandma leave in the car, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and went back to report to Yun Musheng.
Yun Musheng thought that this matter was just a matter of prevarication, and never thought that the palace would send someone to invite her again seven days later.
During these seven days, Yun Musheng had been thinking about how to persuade Chen Zu not to go to Nalan Country, and how to let him take her with him if he had to go.
After much thought, I couldn't think of a way.
Yun Musheng couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. He lost a lot of weight in just seven days, and his complexion didn't look good.
This time someone came to the palace, she could no longer excuse it by claiming she was sick, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the palace.
When Yun Musheng stepped into Fengyi Palace, she realized that she was not the only one coming.
Looking around, there were more than a dozen ladies from each family. Yun Musheng knew all of them. They were all the daughters of important officials in the court, chatting and laughing.
Yun Musheng's arrival suddenly silenced everyone present, and their eyes looked over with hostility and full of displeasure.
Who doesn't know that Yun Musheng, the daughter of Yun Shangshu, is famous for her beauty.
She has a kind of beauty that does not care about the life and death of others. In the entire Kyoto, except for her own cousin Gu Wangshu, no girl from an aristocratic family is willing to stand with her.
The reason is simple. Anyone who stands with Yun Musheng will be reduced to a background.
Her beauty glows, she is in color and everyone else standing next to her is in gray.
As long as Yun Musheng appears, the eyes of the young men from the aristocratic family will stay on her, which naturally makes other ladies feel uncomfortable.
Yun Musheng ignored their unkind glances and looked at the person at the top of the hall.
The well-maintained Queen Mother, who was in her 40s, was sitting there. To her left was a young girl. Yun Musheng could see the hostility in the girl's eyes.
