"Fourth Sister-in-law, it seems you've forgotten I know magic, and also about the Qiankun Bag," Huangfu Yue said with a smile.
"I can temporarily store your carriage inside the Qiankun Bag, there's no need to carry it up the mountain. I'll just take it out once I reach the summit."
She dared to store Yang Wanqian's carriage in the Qiankun Bag, which was a spatial dimension, and wasn't afraid of Yang Wanqian discovering the existence of the space because she suddenly remembered she possessed earth-element abilities, which allowed her to quickly create an earth house within the space.
She could place Yang Wanqian's carriage inside the earth house. If the earth house had no doors or windows, Yang Wanqian wouldn't be able to leave it even after disembarking from the carriage. Without being able to see the space, she wouldn't discover its existence.
"You're going to put me into the Qiankun Bag?!" Yang Wanqian was extremely surprised, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Her servants were equally surprised, all of them dumbfounded.
Huangfu Yue nodded, "Fourth Sister-in-law, you don't need to be afraid. There's no danger inside the Qiankun Bag. There's a house inside, with seating, food, and drink. It's very comfortable."
As she spoke, Huangfu Yue's spiritual power entered the space, found a good location, and used her earth-element abilities to quickly construct a house.
She was surprised to find how effective her earth-element abilities were; building a house was incredibly easy.
She intended to build a house of thirty square meters, but it was finished in just two seconds, astonishingly fast.
Seeing that the house, made of earth and without doors or windows, was pitch black inside, Huangfu Yue thought of painting it.
She immediately asked the space if her earth-element abilities could be used to whitewash the house.
The space's reply was yes, but it didn't explain why, nor did she ask.
Why it could do so didn't matter; as long as it could, that was enough.
Huangfu Yue immediately used her earth-element abilities to whitewash the interior of the house. It was completed in just one second, making the room snow white.
To make the house look good, Huangfu Yue decided to decorate it. She asked the space to select two decorative paintings with antique motifs from the supermarket and deliver them into the house. They were hung on the walls.
The supermarket had everything, including wall decorations.
Huangfu Yue looked at the paintings and then at the house, nodding in satisfaction in her mind. She then immediately placed a set of tables and chairs she had collected from the royal estate into the house.
She also picked out a few potted plants from the supermarket to place on the table. The supermarket not only had decorative paintings but also flowers, both real and artificial. She chose artificial flowers.
However, the craftsmanship of these artificial flowers was exquisite, making them look just like real flowers, incredibly beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Although the room was whitewashed, only she could see it. Others entering would still perceive it as dark. It needed to be brighter.
She suddenly remembered seeing all sorts of luminous pearls in the national treasury, each one incredibly bright.
She immediately retrieved one of the luminous pearls and placed it in the house, making the room instantly bright, as if it were daytime.
Bathed in the dazzling and beautiful light of the luminous pearl, the room looked even better, undoubtedly beautiful and possessing an elegant charm.
Huangfu Yue felt a little proud, thinking she was amazing to have built such a large house so quickly and decorated it so beautifully.
Now, she just needed to bring in some food and drink.
Huangfu Yue immediately went to the supermarket and brought back some food and drinks, all suitable for pregnant women, such as egg pudding, kumquats, milk, and coconut juice.
Pregnant women needed to eat more eggs and kumquats, and drink more milk and coconut juice.
Huangfu Yue looked around the room again and found that nothing was missing. It was ready.
She believed Yang Wanqian would like it, she thought.
The reason she decorated the room, arranged furniture, and prepared food and drinks was because she anticipated that once Yang Wanqian entered the "Qiankun Bag," she would definitely be curious about its interior and would disembark from the carriage to investigate.
The room had been dark and unfurnished before. If she saw it like that, she would be scared and want to leave, not wanting to stay inside.
Therefore, she deliberately decorated the room like this, making her want to stay inside, leisurely eating and drinking.
She was even moved by her own thoughtfulness and consideration.
"Really?" Yang Wanqian, upon hearing her sister-in-law's words, looked skeptical and disbelieving.
She thought to herself, how could there possibly be a house inside the Qiankun Bag, with seating, food, and drink? That sounded too good to be true.
"Why would I lie to you? I'll send you inside to see later, and then you'll know if what I'm saying is true," Huangfu Yue said with a smile.
"I'd also like to see inside the Qiankun Bag. Can you take me in too, Yue'er?" Zhong Liangshu, holding her daughter Huangfu Ling, walked up. The servants from her household followed behind the mother and daughter.
"Little Aunt." Huangfu Ling saw Huangfu Yue and immediately called out politely and sweetly.
"Ah!" Huangfu Yue smiled gently at her niece, reaching out to gently stroke her little niece's face, which was as soft as tofu pudding.
"Little Aunt, is it really that good inside the Qiankun Bag? Little Ling'er wants to see, can I go?" Huangfu Ling blinked her large eyes at Huangfu Yue, her face full of curiosity.
Like her mother, she had overheard the conversation between Huangfu Yue and Yang Wanqian.
"Of course, you can," Huangfu Yue nodded.
If she could let Yang Wanqian go in, there was no reason not to let Zhong Liangshu and her daughter see it.
"Yue'er, why did you suddenly decide to have everyone climb the mountain? Climbing is so tiring," a complaining voice suddenly came from behind. Xu Yuqing walked over with a displeased expression.
Behind Xu Yuqing were her attending wet nurse Song Momo and two maids. One of the maids held Huangfu Ying, and Jiang Shangyun walked at the very rear.
"Didn't Master Feng convey Yue'er's words earlier? Yue'er had Xiao Hei scout this mountain before, and said the scenery is beautiful, with wild fruits, and a stream with fish in it...
We can go up the mountain to pick wild fruits, catch fish, and have a picnic at the summit. We'll eat dinner on the mountain... It's like going out to play, which is much better than just sitting in the carriage waiting for darkness."
Huangfu Yue looked towards Xu Yuqing, about to speak, when Zhu Jiayi, accompanied by her children and the servants from her household, walked over and said to Xu Yuqing.
"Yuqing, don't be afraid of climbing the mountain and thinking it's difficult and tiring. While climbing has some difficulty and fatigue, it's quite fun... When I was in my maiden home, my father liked climbing mountains and would occasionally take us siblings to climb. The mountains were very fun."
Before Xu Yuqing could reply, Zhu Jiayi spoke again.
"I want to climb the mountain! I want to climb the mountain... I've never climbed a mountain before!" Huangfu Xuan, holding Zhu Jiayi's hand, exclaimed with anticipation.
Boys are generally more active and like to climb high, so Huangfu Xuan was very happy when he heard about climbing the mountain.
Zhu Jiayi turned to look at the large mountain beside them, looking up at it, and said, "This mountain looks quite tall and majestic. It should take quite some time to climb...
However, looking at the lush greenery and the vibrant colors of the mountain, it's evident there are many trees and flowers. The scenery must be extremely beautiful and definitely worth the climb to admire."
Seeing the expectant look on her elder sister-in-law's face, Huangfu Yue was a little surprised.
She hadn't expected her elder sister-in-law to actually enjoy mountain climbing.
"Can I not climb this mountain? My health has always been poor, and I've never climbed a mountain before. If you make me climb such a high mountain, I'll die of exhaustion."
Xu Yuqing looked resistant, casting a pleading look at Huangfu Yue, but inwardly cursing her and Zhu Jiayi.
Damn Huangfu Yue, has she gone mad? For no reason at all, she suddenly decided to have everyone climb a mountain, talking about good scenery, all nonsense.
Has she considered them? They were delicate and pampered princesses who had barely walked any distance, let alone climbed mountains.
Huangfu Yue's suggestion to climb the mountain was clearly intended to torment and torture them!
Could it be that Huangfu Yue's sudden decision to climb the mountain was deliberately meant to prank and torture her?
How detestable!
Zhu Jiayi even agreed with Huangfu Yue and spoke in her favor, saying how fun the mountain was, but it was utter nonsense.
How could mountains be fun? They were just trees and flowers, and there were plenty of them in gardens. She had been tired of them long ago and had no desire to admire them.
She desperately wanted to beat up Huangfu Yue and Zhu Jiayi, but unfortunately, she was under Huangfu Yue's control now and didn't even dare to scold them aloud.
The more Xu Yuqing thought about it, the angrier and more resentful she became, almost to the point of madness.
