Capítulo 1585: Chapter 1592: The Death of Nangong Yu (3)
…
In the Great Jin Nation, within the palace at the royal hunting grounds
Empress Dowager Mo and Nangong Yu were having dinner, and the table was laden with various ga that Nangong Yi had hunted, including wild rabbit, wild chicken, wild boar, and a variety of fresh, delicious wild vegetables and wild mushrooms. It was an abundant feast, yet the mother and daughter at the table showed little interest, eating very little.
Nangong Yu hadn’t planned on attending the autumn hunt, but Empress Dowager Mo feared she’d get too depressed staying cooped up in the palace, so she forcefully brought her along. However, even after arriving, Nangong Yu was still very reluctant to et people. Although there was a bonfire party that night, and all the young masters and misses who ca to the autumn hunt went to join, she refused to go, choosing instead to sit idly in her room.
Empress Dowager Mo understood what she was avoiding, and felt a deep pain in her heart, so she only made a brief appearance at the bonfire party before returning to accompany her.
“Yu’er, co, have a piece of rabbit at, it’s been roasted by the chef from Liaodan, and it’s delicious!”
A piece of rabbit at was placed in Nangong Yu’s bowl. Nangong Yu didn’t say a word, silently picking up the rabbit at her mother had given her and began eating it with her head lowered.
“Co, try the flower wine your elder brother gave to Imperial Mother, it’s very tasty!”
Empress Dowager Mo instructed Bai Zhi to pour Nangong Yu a cup of flower wine. This wine ca from a special place, and its sweet and pure taste was incomparable to other wine. Empress Dowager Mo was very fond of it, often drinking a cup, and besides her precious daughter, she was reluctant to let anyone else have any!
Nangong Yu took the cup, took a small sip, and imdiately found it delicious. She drank it all in one go and said, “Imperial Mother, I want more!”
It was rare for her to speak, and rarer still for her to ask for anything, so Empress Dowager Mo was naturally eager to oblige her, and instructed Bai Zhi to continue pouring wine…
An almost entire pot of flower wine, produced from that special place, ended up in her stomach. After drinking, her mood improved, and she said to Empress Dowager Mo: “Imperial Mother, you don’t need to accompany ; you should go back to the bonfire party. Since the Empress didn’t co to this year’s autumn hunt, it wouldn’t look good if you weren’t there either!”
Empress Dowager Mo also knew that it wouldn’t look good if neither she nor Empress Mu were present. However, she had been preoccupied with her daughter and couldn’t help herself before. Now seeing that Nangong Yu’s mood seed to have improved significantly, she kindly said: “Very well, you’ve had quite a bit to drink, rest early; I’ll co see you tomorrow…”
Saying this, she hurried off to the bonfire party. She needed to attend to her daughter here, while also supporting her son’s social scene. Whether it was the palm or the back of her hand, it was all flesh, a part of her own body, equally painful!
After Empress Dowager Mo left, Nangong Yu touched her flushed face from drinking and instructed: “Heat the water; this princess wants to take a bath!”
She planned to bathe and go to bed early. Although the flower wine was good, it was still wine, and drinking too much of it would inevitably make one tipsy. At this mont, she felt dizzy and longed for a fragrant, sweet sleep.
The two accompanying maids went to heat the water. At that mont, a young woman’s voice ca from outside the door: “Princess, I am a maidservant of Madam Mo’s. By the lady’s order, I am here to request that the princess co out to talk.”
Mu Caifei!
Nangong Yu’s heart trembled slightly, and she turned to the maid beside her and said, “Go, let her in; this princess has so questions for her.”
The maid exited, and a mont later returned with a maiden dressed as a maidservant from Duke Li Guo’s Mansion. Upon seeing Nangong Yu, the maiden hurriedly knelt to pay her respects, saying: “This servant pays her respects to the princess. This servant is a second-class maidservant beside the Great General’s wife, nad Ying Chun, sent by my lady to request the princess to join her for a talk by the creekside. My lady is already waiting there.”
Nangong Yu coldly smiled and said, “A talk, about what? She has already won, Brother Zi Qi has married her, and she is now the esteed wife of the Great General. What could she possibly need to say to a defeated person like ? She rely wants to flaunt, does she not?”
