Chapter 172 Yun Yuxi, the rude one
The Prime Minister's Mansion was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. Bright red silks were hung everywhere, as if the entire mansion had been transformed into a festive ocean.
It turned out that in three days Yun Ruyan and the second prince would be getting married. At this moment Liu's face was filled with joy that was difficult to conceal.
"Yan'er, you must never go against that girl Yu again in the future. You need to find ways to win her over, and then win over the Regent's Palace. Only in this way can you increase the chances of victory for the Second Prince!" The Prime Minister warned earnestly.
However, Yun Ruyan showed resentment on her face and responded indignantly: "Dad, why is this happening? You clearly know that she and I have always been at odds, but you insist on asking your daughter to flatter her. Your daughter really can't do it! Shouldn't she be the one to curry favor with me?"
As she spoke, the handkerchief that Yun Ruyan was holding tightly in her hand had become twisted and deformed due to excessive force.
"Why? Just because she is the regent princess! Just because the regent Yan Wuque is in a high position and has great power, and is feared by the court and the people! Moreover, because he possesses superb medical skills that are so amazing and ever-changing, he has successfully contained the plague that was raging in Lingcheng!
I want to ask you, what is there about a woman like this that is not worthy of your pursuit? Don't you understand your father's painstaking efforts? Hmm? But what did Liu teach you that you are so stubborn..." The prime minister was so angry that he trembled all over.
Just as Liu was about to step into the room, she suddenly caught sight of the Prime Minister standing not far away, trembling slightly. Startled, Liu hurried forward in two steps, stretched out her hands to hold the Prime Minister's slightly thin body steadily, with a look of anxiety on her face.
"Master, please don't be angry! Yan'er is an ignorant child. Why don't you admit your mistake and make amends to your father? Your father has been carefully planning for you. Whatever he asks you to do must have been carefully considered and meaningful. Yan'er, kneel down quickly!" Liu scolded loudly and sternly.
Yun Ruyan's face, which was originally as white as porcelain, had now turned completely pale. She knelt on the ground tremblingly, lowered her head, and said softly, "Father, it's all my fault. I followed your instructions. I just spoke too quickly and accidentally offended you. I beg you to punish me severely."
Hearing this, the prime minister snorted coldly and said in a stiff tone: "Forget it, you should reflect on yourself! When you have figured it out, come to the study to see me." After that, he shook off Liu's arm that was supporting him, then waved his sleeves violently, turned around and left without looking back, leaving only a back figure that was getting farther and farther away.
After the Prime Minister left, Liu carefully helped Yun Ruyan, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet, and asked with concern and worry on her face:
"Yan'er, what happened to make your father so angry? He has always doted on you and rarely gets angry in front of you.
Your life will be long and tortuous, and you will need your father's careful planning and layout. So don't act on impulse, lest you destroy the relationship between father and daughter. "
"Mother, how could I not understand the reason? You also know that my daughter has always been thinking about the Regent Yan Wuque. It's a pity that I failed to enter his eyes as I wished, and was snatched away by the extremely hateful Yun Yuxi. How can my daughter swallow this bitter pill?" Yun Ruyan's face was full of resentment, and her tone was full of unwillingness and anger.
Liu patted Yun Ruyan's hand gently and said earnestly, "Yan'er, you must remember that from now on, you will be the most noble prince's consort. As for Yan Wuque, you must not harbor any more delusions. You must know that the high position in the future is definitely not something Yan Wuque can give you. You might as well think about it carefully. If time could go back and you were faced with the choice again, would you still be in love with Yan Wuque?"
Yun Ruyan was shocked when she heard what Liu said, and a little embarrassed appeared on her face. Her eyes flickered, as if she was experiencing a fierce struggle in her heart. After a moment, she slowly said, "Mother, you are right. In fact, I don't have much love for Yan Wuque, but he is too outstanding and dazzling, making countless women fall in love with him. And I also want to be the focus of everyone's attention."
At this point, Yun Ruyan sighed softly and continued, "Forget it, mother, let me be alone for a while. Please go and take care of the affairs of the mansion first, and ask the maids to prepare a bowl of sweet and delicious lotus seed soup. After a short rest, I will go to the study to apologize to my father."
Seeing that Yun Ruyan had figured it out, Liu felt relieved. She smiled and nodded, then turned and left, continuing to take care of all the affairs in the prime minister's mansion.
"Princess, we will arrive in Kyoto in two days. I have received a message from the prince that he will go outside the city in person to welcome your return," Ling Yi said with a beaming face.
"Really? Did the prince really say that?" Yun Yuxi asked with some surprise and joy.
"Well, the prince asked me to tell you that he misses the princess, and he told us to protect her and not let her suffer any harm. The prince really loves her, and I, a subordinate, envy him."
Yun Yuxi felt sweet in her heart and teased Lingyi.
"I'm so envious. I envy him for finding a wife quickly. I see Fu Zhenwu is always hanging around Yuelan. Maybe good things are about to happen. Fu Zhenwu is a handsome man, and he is a good match for Yuelan..." Before Yun Yuxi finished her words, Ling Yi was looking for Yuelan anxiously.
"Your Highness, I am leaving now." Lingyi said and left quickly to look for Fu Zhenwu and Yuelan.
"Sister-in-law, you did this on purpose to provoke Lingyi, but I just saw the top scholar holding a bunch of wild flowers and walking towards Yuelan with a smile on his face. I'm afraid something big is going to happen," Feng San said with a nonchalant look on his face.
"Oh my God! Hurry up, we have to stop Lingyi as soon as possible!" Before he finished speaking, Yun Yuxi's figure flashed and rushed towards the direction where Lingyi left like a gust of wind.
At this time, Feng San stood there with a puzzled look on his face, muttering to himself: "What on earth did sister-in-law mean by 'fuck'? I feel like it's not a nice word..." While he was pondering secretly, his eyes were fixed on Yun Yuxi's figure that was getting farther and farther away.
Fu Zhenwu was standing by the river with a bunch of colorful wild flowers in his hand, as if he was telling the river something. Yuelan was sitting quietly by the river, rubbing clothes in her hands. Everything seemed so peaceful and calm, as if nothing unusual had happened.
