Chapter 174 How Can You Curse Her?
The younger generations from the Gu family were the eldest cousin Gu Yu and the third cousin Gu Qin. Both of them were handsome and elegant young men. As soon as they got off the horse, they attracted the favor of many girls from aristocratic families.
However, girls in the boudoir are always shy to take the initiative, for fear of being accused of behaving recklessly.
Therefore, they could only secretly express their feelings and look at each other excitedly in silence, but without taking any actual action.
When the Gu family moved to Chiling Pass, everyone in Kyoto thought that the final outcome of the Gu family would be to be buried in the sand. Unexpectedly, they would return triumphantly and enjoy great glory one day.
Although the Gu family has not yet been valued by His Majesty, their achievements are there and no one can erase them.
The fact that men in the Gu family are not allowed to take concubines or wives is already hard to resist.
Mu Qingyan whispered, "Did you two brothers take the medicine I gave you yesterday?"
Gu Yu nodded and lowered his voice as well, "Don't worry, Sister Yan, we won't take your instructions lightly, we've brought everything with us..."
"Okay, then, be careful."
The birthday banquet will be held with separate seats for men and women. Once you enter the villa, no one will care about each other, so of course you have to be cautious.
In front of the Fuyuan gate, the maid who served the Grand Princess was checking the posts one by one, and only letting them in after they matched.
Mu Qingyan walked slowly behind the crowd and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the alley next door.
That was Xulin, her brother.
He said that he would find a way to sneak in today, so he wore ordinary clothes. She had seen the people he followed before. They were the director of the Imperial Observatory and his wife!
Xulin's grandfather had mentioned the origins of his relationship with the supervisor. In order to repay the supervisor's kindness, he also accepted the supervisor's children as apprentices, teaching them medicine and martial arts.
She had even seen those children, and now they were in her Jimin Hall, learning to identify herbs and recognize acupuncture points on the human body.
She didn't want to see innocent people involved, but now that everyone was here, it was too late to regret.
As soon as Mu Qingyan stepped into Fu Garden, the Grand Princess got the news.
She was sitting with Princess Yunxi, drinking tea and chatting.
Princess Ning Sheng sat aside, cautious and out of place.
Princess Yunxi glanced at her and said, "Ning Sheng, you are a princess of a country after all, why are you so petty? You are bringing shame to our royal family!"
Princess Ning Sheng did not dare to refute the accusation of her aunt. She could only lower her head and whisper, "The aunt is right. Ning Sheng will pay attention to it..."
The eldest princess didn't take this little beauty's daughter seriously. She didn't even avoid her when she ridiculed Mu Qingyan. "Yunxi, at the palace banquet that day, this Miss Mu humiliated you severely and made you lose face in front of the Yi country envoys. Today, you can get it back from your aunt any way you want! I will definitely make the decision for you!"
Princess Yunxi must be so happy!
Otherwise, why would she rush over here so early in the morning?
She just wanted to avenge what happened at the palace banquet with her own hands!
This is her aunt's birthday party. If anything happens to Mu Qingyan, the host will be responsible for it. It has nothing to do with her!
Princess Yunxi became more and more excited the more she thought about it, with a sinister light flashing in her eyes.
Princess Ning Sheng lowered her head, and no one knew what she was thinking.
There were many guests invited to the birthday party. Even if everyone went out early in the morning, it would be noon by the time everyone had finished the inspection and entered Fuyuan.
Normally, the birthday banquet should be held at night.
But considering the long journey and the curfew in the city, the birthday banquet was scheduled to start at noon.
Inside Fu Garden, there is a very spacious main hall, which is used specifically for entertaining guests.
Everyone entered the front yard, and the male guests naturally looked for people they were close to, found a seat and sat down to chat.
The female guests strolled around the garden. It was rare to find such an elegant Jiangnan-style garden in Kyoto.
It's good to see something new and unusual.
All the people who were supposed to come came. The Grand Princess even invited two opera troupes, one for male guests and one for female guests. It was very thoughtful.
But the guests had arrived for a long time, but she, the host, had not shown up yet, which made everyone feel a little dissatisfied.
Mu Qingyan entered the garden and carefully memorized the direction. This was a survival instinct she had been trained to have in her previous life. As the heir of a family, keen vigilance and a sense of crisis in the environment were compulsory courses for her.
But not long after she entered the garden, a maid hurriedly came to her, looking very anxious, but she followed the rules without any deviation, "Miss Mu, the eldest princess suddenly feels unwell. I heard that your medical skills are superb. Please move to the backyard and treat the eldest princess..."
Mu Qingyan was very sure that she had never seen this nanny before.
How did she accurately determine that it was her among so many guests?
Moreover, this eldest princess was too impatient. She wanted to make trouble before the banquet even started? Wasn't she afraid of violating a taboo by seeing blood at her own birthday banquet?
"Mammy, the Grand Princess is of noble status. I am not well-trained and dare not easily treat you. If something goes wrong, I will not be able to take the responsibility..."
The nanny's expression suddenly changed, and her attitude became arrogant, "Miss, do you mean to say that you want to watch someone die without helping?"
Mu Qingyan hurriedly sighed and interrupted the nanny, "Mammy, be careful with your words. Today is the Grand Princess' birthday. How can you curse her? Aren't you afraid of breaking a taboo?"
The nanny knew she had said something wrong and couldn't help biting her tongue. She almost misled her. "Everyone in Kyoto knows your medical skills. You were able to save Prince Ling when he was poisoned. Why are you refusing to go when the Grand Princess just asked you to see a doctor? Could it be that you don't want to see the Grand Princess on purpose?"
"What are you talking about, Madam? I am here to be a guest, not a doctor! The Grand Princess is such a noble person, doesn't she even have an emergency doctor by her side? Why does she have to ask me, a guest, to see the doctor? Is there something fishy going on here?"
"How dare you! How dare you suspect that the Grand Princess wants to harm you! Don't you even look at your own status? Do you think you are worthy of the Grand Princess's concern?"
Mu Qingyan lowered her head and said, "Yes, yes, I know that I am of low status and unqualified to treat the princess. Madam, please ask for help from someone else..."
The nanny's face became even uglier. How could there be such a stubborn person?
The Grand Princess invited her, but she dared to refuse! Are you tired of living?
"Miss, are you relying on your engagement with Prince Ling to disregard the great Grand Princess? Don't forget that even if you become the Princess of Ling, the Grand Princess is still your elder! Even if His Majesty is here, when he sees the Grand Princess, he still has to follow the etiquette of a junior and call her aunt!"
