Chapter 532: Chapter 533: Deep Obsession
Feng Wushuang raised her eyes to the sky and took a deep breath.
She prayed that the heavens would bless him to see his wishes fulfilled and his desires achieved.
"Master, the mooncakes are ready, shall we send them to the Liao Residence now?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Wushuang came back to her senses and nodded slightly, "Send more over!"
"Yes!"
Feng Wushuang watched the servant’s retreating figure, her tightly clutched hands feeling somewhat uneasy.
Today, she would see him at the royal banquet, even though it might just be a fleeting glimpse, and they might not even exchange a single word, but she was so excited that her palms were sweaty.
Liao Residence
Yun Zihan had also risen early to supervise the mooncake making, and upon learning that Feng Wushuang had sent over several large boxes of food, she immediately had some sent to the front courtyard and then ordered the kitchen to prepare a lavish dinner for her and Liao Shijie’s friends.
Though it was called a banquet, it was nothing more than sitting down for a few bites of food and saying a few words before she had to get up and leave, after all, there was a difference between men and women.
"Madam, there’s still quite a bit left!"
The family was small, and they couldn’t finish it all.
Distributing it to the servants didn’t seem proper.
Yun Zihan thought for a moment, "Then pack it up nicely, I will personally take some back to the Yun Residence later!"
Not for anyone else, but the Yun Residence still had her aunt and four younger sisters as well as her second aunt.
Today at the palace banquet, her mother and second aunt would be going to the palace; she could at least talk to her aunt.
With this in mind, Yun Zihan was also filled with joy.
She quickly found Liao Shijie to explain her intentions, and Liao Shijie naturally agreed, "I’ll take you back!"
"Great!"
Today, with no masters at the Yun Family, Yun Zihan was more than willing to return there.
And with Liao Shijie accompanying her back, she was even more delighted.
The two happily packed up, and Liao Shijie went to the front courtyard to speak with his friends for a moment, promising he would definitely return in the evening. Then he left with Yun Zihan.
Princess Residence
The Princess looked at Hemei, initially not understanding what it meant that Yun Jinnian was unwell.
"Is it serious? Is she too exhausted?"
Hemei’s face turned red, being a young girl after all, she shook her head and then nodded.
Seeing the nanny so anxious, it must be serious.
Nanny Song instantly understood something and whispered a few words in the Princess’s ear. The Princess had an epiphany, dismissed the maids and old women before asking Hemei, "Did your young lady get her first menstruation?"
Hemei’s face grew even redder, and she nodded shyly.
The Princess laughed, "I see, well, tell your young mistress to rest well. I will come and see her in a few days. The first time for a young girl needs to be treated carefully. Song, go to the storeroom and take some blood-tonifying herbs for this little girl to take back!"
"Yes!"
Nanny Song immediately left joyfully.
A young girl’s first menstruation signifies her coming of age, and once she turns fifteen, she can start discussing marriage.
Of course, there are those who get engaged before reaching the age of fifteen, and if the Fourth Miss and Prince Yanjun could make good things happen...
With this in mind, Nanny Song deliberately chose the finest items while selecting, filling a large chest for Hemei to take back.
When she mentioned this to the Princess, the latter laughed, "These herbs are nothing!"
Seeing Prince Yanjun approach elegantly in a white robe, the Princess was very satisfied, her heart brimming with joy, "Little Wu!"
"Mother!" Prince Yanjun spoke, his gaze sweeping slightly, not seeing Yun Jinnian, "Did Jinnian not come?"
The Princess laughed, "She isn’t feeling well and couldn’t come; let’s not wait for her later!"
Not feeling well?
Prince Yanjun frowned slightly, "Is it an illness caused by exhaustion?"
"No, don’t overthink it. Don’t ask her about it next time you see her to avoid making her uncomfortable," the Princess whispered, wondering if he would understand.
As she spoke, the Princess observed Prince Yanjun.
Seeing his puzzled expression turn to one of realization after a moment, she knew that he understood.
