People who can appear on this occasion are originally of high status, and to regain the Emperor’s favor, they need to take so shortcuts.
Now that the Eldest Princess, who is most valued by the Emperor, is here, many have the idea of cozying up to her.
Mo Shu and Yu Siqiao had just stepped out when a high-ranking concubine approached Mo Shu affectionately, warmly and gently saying, "I’ve always known that the Eldest Princess is the First Beauty of our Mo Yan Country, but I didn’t expect that dressed as a man, you would be so outstanding. If people didn’t know your identity, who knows how many tis they would’ve been srized by you."
Soone nearby seized the opportunity to chi in, "Indeed, from afar, I couldn’t even recognize you. What a handso young man you make, not only unparalleled in beauty but also spirited and dashing. Fortunately, the Eldest Princess is a woman; if she were a man, looking like this, with both literary and martial skills and imnse talent, how could other n compare? How are others supposed to live?"
"Princess Mo must be tired from her journey ho; look at her little face, it’s thinner. I’ve specially prepared so donkey-hide gelatin soup; co to my palace to drink it while it’s hot!"
"What donkey-hide gelatin soup? What the Eldest Princess needs most now is a good rest. Do you think she’s not exhausted from the journey?"
"Oh my, what is this talk? Princess Consort De also ans well, E’Pin, why are you in such a hurry?"
"What do you an, Sister Princess Consort Liang? I’m just feeling sorry for the Princess being so weary; why would I be in a hurry?"
...
Mo Shu felt a wave of annoyance inside and said, "Enough."
The voice was not loud, but it carried a hint of impatience.
The chattering throng around them fell silent.
Without even looking at them, Mo Shu coldly said, "Tired, be quiet."
Beside her, Yu Siqiao’s lips curved slightly. He pressed her head a bit and said, "Tired? Want to take a nap?"
"Too noisy, can’t sleep."
Although Mo Shu’s voice was not loud, the concubines around her heard it clearly.
Everyone exchanged glances, awkwardly falling silent.
The Emperor was accustod to the chatter around him, and seeing this, he chuckled, "Since that’s the case, rest first. You haven’t seen your two children for quite so ti; I guess you miss them a lot?"
Mo Shu glanced at the Emperor, a bit annoyed, "Since you know, why keep here? Don’t you care for your daughter and grandson?"
The Emperor laughed heartily, "You silly girl, as your father, it’s because I care for you that I’ve prepared a surprise for you."
Saying this, they had arrived at the Emperor’s residence.
The Emperor turned and said, "Now that the Eldest Princess has returned to the palace, you may all disperse."
The concubines were sowhat reluctant, none wanting to leave.
Lingering hesitantly, the Emperor cast a gaze over them, and instantly everyone behaved and reluctantly left.
Mo Shu yawned and followed the Emperor into the Qianqing Palace, when suddenly, she heard a soft, childlike voice.
The voice was faint and indistinct.
Mo Shu thought she had misheard it because she missed her children too much.
But in the next mont, she suddenly heard a louder shout, babbling incoherently.
Soon after, footsteps were heard, accompanied by a young girl’s anxious voice, "Little Young Master, wait for !"
The tender voice was full of excitent, and two small hands patted the ground, crawling over.
