Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 167

[Chapter 167 Ice Lantern]

Su Qing couldn’t help sighing: “It’s not easy to celebrate the new year.”

“Yeah, mother, I’m going to starve to death, get me something to eat.”

Su Qing hurriedly clapped her hand: “Bah bah bah, Tong Yanwuji is blown away by the wind, and those who are celebrating the new year are not allowed to talk nonsense.”

Mu Yunyao smiled and leaned on Su Qing’s shoulder and said, “Mother, I’m too hungry to walk.”

“Come back to the room and sit down and rest, my mother will bring you something delicious.”

The night was still lively, but King Yue and Steward Qin were not suitable to stay in the Su mansion. At this time, the Jingxiu Garden was quiet. King Yue stood at the door listening to the noise coming from the next door, and watching the fireworks blooming in the sky. A faint loneliness rose for no reason.

Steward Qin took the cloak and came over: “My lord, the weather is cold, you have to be extra careful.”

“Compared to western Guangdong, it’s really mild here.” Although he said that, King Yue took the cloak and put it on, so that Steward Qin would not worry.

Manager Qin had a smile in his eyes: “Yesterday, it was very lively to celebrate the New Year in Su’s house. This is the first time this old slave is so comfortable.”

King Yue’s eyes softened for a moment. He has practiced martial arts for many years, and his ears are much better than ordinary people. The study is not far from the next door. At this time, he can clearly hear the movement of Mu Yunyao, it seems that he is making ice lanterns noisily.

Manager Qin also vaguely heard such a voice, and couldn’t help but suggest with a smile: “I saw Yu Heng and Yu Yi carving ice lanterns when I was in western Guangdong before, why don’t I let them carve two of them later, and give them to Yu Heng and Yu Yi. Miss Mu sent it over?”

King Yue’s eyes moved slightly: “What’s so good about ice lanterns?”

“Girls’ family always likes those exquisite things, and Miss Mu is no exception. In the past six months, Miss Mu has helped us a lot. It’s right to make some small things and make her happy.”

“No need.”

Steward Qin said with a pity: “Then listen to the prince, don’t bother those, and I don’t know if there is any talented girl on Mu’s side who can make ice lanterns that suit her heart.”

“Uncle Qin, it’s getting late, you should go back and rest.”

“Okay, the weather is cold, the lord also goes in early.”

King Yue nodded, and after Steward Qin left, his eyes involuntarily fell to the yard next door. At this time, fireworks were blooming next door, and he didn’t know if the ice lantern was ready.

Mu Yunyao was also on a whim. She remembered the ice lantern she had seen at the Kyoto Lantern Festival in her previous life. Skilled craftsmen carved the ice into various shapes. The largest ice lantern she had ever seen was in the shape of a lotus flower. , Each layer of petals is as thin as a butterfly wing, and it is really amazing to be able to clearly see the candle lit in the center.

I just thought it was simple, but it was extremely difficult to make. The ice cubes themselves were very brittle. When carving, they shattered into pieces with a little force. In the end, I could only simply make a few ice bowls. nice.

After being lively for a long time, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help being a little sleepy. Everyone knew that she went to many places to pay New Year’s greetings during the day, and they persuaded her to go back to rest.

Back in the room, Mu Yunyao was lying on the bed, listening to the sound of firecrackers from time to time outside, but she couldn’t fall asleep again, and finally felt confused for a while, when she heard movement in the window, she quickly opened her eyes and looked at the window.

A black figure was reflected on the window paper, and he didn’t know what he was doing.

Mu Yunyao’s heart tightened, she took out the dagger that King Yue gave her from under the pillow, got out of bed quietly, slammed open the window, and stabbed at the figure outside the window.

The wrist was grabbed violently, and the cold and powerful touch made Mu Yunyao’s scalp numb. In the middle of her panic, a familiar voice sounded:

“Are you going to assassinate me?”

King Yue’s voice?

The window was completely pushed open, and Mu Yunyao finally saw the person outside the window. He was wearing a silver-white cloak. His face was cold and handsome.

Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief, and at that moment, she thought she had encountered the scene where the Su family sent someone to assassinate her in her previous life, and she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: “Fourth Master, you suddenly came to me this evening, why did you just come here? Don’t you think there’s anything wrong?”

King Yue saw her appearance clearly and frowned in disapproval.

She had her hair loose and no makeup applied, and she was wearing a snow-white mid-coat. I don’t know if it was cold. Her lips were slightly pale, and she looked very pitiful.

“Go get dressed first.”

The nervousness in her heart subsided, Mu Yunyao felt her back soaked with cold sweat, and she was suddenly chilled, she quickly closed the window and went to the room to put on her clothes, and then opened the door: “Fourth Master, come in and talk about something. “The last time King Yue broke into her boudoir once at night, so this time there is no need to pay attention.

King Yue moved, still standing at the window without entering the door. After a while, he bent down and picked up an ice lantern from the ground. The ice lantern was very delicately carved, about a foot square, with the shape of a candle in the center, and the candle was lying around it. With a naive cat, her eyes are slightly bent, her small mouth is upturned, with a hint of cunning arc, she looks extraordinarily smart and cute.

Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn’t help but smile: “What a delicate ice lantern, it’s so late, is there still anyone selling ice lanterns on the street?”

King Yue raised his eyebrows: “I did it.”

“What did you do?” Mu Yunyao was surprised. After careful observation, she realized that the cat on the ice lantern was very similar to the cat that King Yue had kneaded with dough before. At first glance, it was the work of the same person. He couldn’t help but sink, “I really didn’t expect that the fourth master could make ice lanterns.”

“When I was young, there was nothing to play with. Grandpa Cheng taught me to carve all kinds of gadgets. A piece of wood can be played for several days.” King Yue said, as if recalling the original time, and a haze flashed in his eyes from time to time. , Sometimes flashes of nostalgia, indescribably complicated and indistinguishable.

Mu Yunyao tightened her fingers slightly, and felt a tingling pain in her palm, but the smile on her face was impeccable: “Thank you for the ice lantern sent by the fourth master. If there is nothing wrong, I should rest.”

King Yue looked at her, his eyes were clear and focused, as if he could hold a person’s soul: “Don’t you like ice lanterns?”

Mu Yunyao’s heart trembled, and the smile on her face faded slightly: “I was joking with Jin Lan and the others when I was bored, but this ice lantern looks crystal clear and beautiful, but it’s actually very fragile, a little outside. Changes in temperature can make it lose its original appearance, and it’s okay to appreciate it for a while, if you really like it, it’s easy to be sad.”

King Yue looked at the smile on Mu Yunyao’s face, and felt extremely uncomfortable for a while: “If you don’t like it, then throw it away.” He threw the ice lantern on the windowsill directly under the steps.

The smile on Mu Yunyao’s face did not change, and she saluted at King Yue: “It’s getting late, Fourth Master, let’s go back and rest early.”
