Mu Yunyao changed her clothes. As soon as she entered the front courtyard, she was pulled to Su Qing's side by Jin Lan and Jin Qiao."Miss, everything is ready. We've been waiting for you to take your seat."
Su Qing was placed at the seat of honor. Although she looked a bit nervous, she was still able to stay in place. During this period of time, due to the influence of Lady Ding and Lady Jin, her personality had changed a lot.
"Yao'er, come sit with mother."
Mu Yunyao stepped forward and held her mother's shoulder, pressing her down."Only mother can sit on this seat. You can take your seat in peace, we still need to toast you!"
Steward Qin quickly agreed, "That's right. Madam has been working extremely hard these days. This first goblet of wine should be mine to toast Madam!"
"How can there be no hard work? I didn't help in any way." Su Qing's face turned red as she embarrassedly refused.
After recuperating for half a year, Su Qing had undergone a huge change. Her face was white and her eyes were brimming with energy. When paired with the clothes and accessories that Mu Yunyao had personally made, she looked dignified and elegant, giving off an indescribably gentle aura.
Steward Qin looked at Su Qing. He felt that she looked familiar, as if she had seen this person before. When he looked carefully, he couldn't recall who it was.
Mu Yunyao raised her wine cup."Who said that mother didn't help? "If it wasn't for your support, we wouldn't have been able to open the Nebula Pavilion. Your contributions are great!"
Jin Lan, Jin Qiuyi, and the others echoed her words, "Miss is right. When I was learning the pressing needle, I couldn't learn it, but Madam taught me tirelessly again and again."
"That's right. At that time, I always pricked my own hand, and it was Madam who helped me apply the medicine."
"And me ..."
After being together for a long time, everyone had developed feelings for Su Qing, and their words were filled with sincerity. For a moment, she was deeply moved.
From Su Qing's point of view, she had only helped him with some trivial matters. Some of them had even been forgotten by her, but Jin Lan and the others had clearly remembered them.
"The first goblet of wine for Madame, may you be satisfied and have your way."
"I wish Madam Mu good health and success in all matters!"
"I wish Madam Mu eternal and eternal happiness!"
A string of blessings filled with joy came out, causing Su Qing to be extremely moved, "Then let's drink together. I hope that we can achieve what we want in the following days."
"Yes, Madam Xie."
Mu Yunyao watched on from the side and was extremely happy in her heart. For the sake of meeting the scene, they drank osmanthus wine. The alcohol wasn't strong, but when it entered their stomachs, they felt warmth.
Steward Qin stood up, "This second goblet of wine must be given to Lady Mu. If there were no ladies, then it would not be the same as today's day for all of us." The moment the words left his mouth, the crowd immediately echoed him.
Mu Yunyao didn't hold back and drank the wine with a smile.
After a round of toasts, the courtyard was filled with endless laughter and chatter.
Mu Yunyao was happy and couldn't help but drink two more cups. The expression in her eyes was a little misty, and for some reason, when she thought of the osmanthus she threw into Su Qingwu's arms, she felt a little uncomfortable. She picked up a bottle of wine and headed towards the direction of the brocade garden.
Su Qing noticed her and quickly reached out to stop her, "Yao'er, what are you going to do?"
"Mother, I'm going to help you break the osmanthus flowers."
"Break what osmanthus flowers? Mom told people to buy them a long time ago, did you forget?" Su Qing pulled her down as she spoke, "Mother, seeing your face turn red, it can't be that you drank too much, right?"
Mu Yunyao felt inexplicably wronged in her heart."The osmanthus flower that I broke for mother was taken by an annoying person. I want to help you break another branch." "No need." In another two months, Yao'er would be fourteen years old. In this period, her body was gradually growing and her immaturity had also decreased by more than half. Her entire person was like a bud that was about to bloom, revealing a beautiful aura, especially on her face.
The egg was even whiter and more tender. Because of the wine, it was now covered with a layer of red, making it seem like it could be broken apart by the wind.
"Mother doesn't love me anymore."
Seeing that Mu Yunyao's expression had become increasingly absent-minded, Su Qing hurriedly called over Jin Lan."Yao'er drank too much, help her return to her room to rest."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mu Yunyao was supported back to her room, still thinking about the osmanthus flower. Her gaze moved slightly as she said to Jin Lan, "I need to rest, continue eating in front. It's rare to see that I'm free these past two days, so you should also get together with your two younger sisters."
"Miss, are you all right?"
"An Xin, what's wrong with me sleeping?"
"Alright, then this servant will go to the front yard." Jin Lan helped pour the water, and only after seeing Mu Yunyao lying on the bed with her eyes closed did she slowly withdraw.
"Master!" Her heart filled with shock, she hurriedly went forward to support Mu Yunyao.
The distance between the window and the ground couldn't be considered high, but Mu Yunyao was already intoxicated from the alcohol. When she jumped down, the shockwave caused her heels to hurt, causing her to subconsciously take a deep breath.
"Mistress, how are you?" If he had arrived a moment earlier, he would have definitely been able to stop her from jumping down from the window.
Mu Yunyao shook her head, stretched out a finger, and shushed him gently, "Don't let mother find out!"
Lowering her head and seeing Mu Yunyao's smiling expression, she asked with slight hesitation, "Master, are you drunk?"
"No, I still need to go to the embroidery garden to help my mother break the osmanthus flowers!"
"It's getting late, it's too dangerous for you to go there." However, Mu Yunyao didn't listen. She was completely focused on the osmanthus flower. The more she wasn't allowed to do it, the more stubborn she became."If you're scared, then you can wait here. I'll break the osmanthus flower and then come back." She pursed her lips slightly. Because there was a blush on her lips when she drank, she was even more beautiful than a rose under the moonlight ...
Two points.
He was certain that Mu Yunyao was drunk, but didn't want to go against her wishes. Seeing that everyone was in the front courtyard, he accompanied her through the wall and into the Garden of Embroidery.
The bright moon was like a plate as its bright splendor sprinkled down. It could clearly see the scenery of the garden, making it seem even more hazy than the daytime.
Mu Yunyao's footsteps were a little shaky. Afraid that she would fall, she carefully supported her arms all the way to the Gui Yuan Garden. Her palms were already wet with sweat.
When she finally saw the osmanthus flower, Mu Yunyao was overjoyed. She grabbed onto the branch and was about to climb up as if it was daytime.
Shocked, he quickly went up to support her, "Mistress, which osmanthus flower do you want? Can I help you?"
Mu Yunyao tried her best, but felt her arm go numb and couldn't help but knit her brows."Six liang, if I wanted to go up, wouldn't you be able to fly? How about you pick me up? " Mu Yunyao slightly raised her head, her jade-like white face seemed to glow under the moonlight. Her heart skipped a beat and she felt that as long as she gave an order, he was willing to unconditionally comply with it."... "Alright."
