Chapter 41 Grandma Yun's Birthday Banquet
In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, and Tang Luo woke up rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Remembering her decision from last night, she immediately jumped out of bed and began packing her small bag.
She planned to help her father bring her mother, whom she had never met, home as soon as possible.
She had already inquired with the butler and the guards, and was full of confidence for the trip.
Although her father has been very busy lately, she believes she can manage on her own.
As for her personal aunt, Wenxiang, Tangluo had already made arrangements.
She left a small note, believing that her clever aunt would understand her intention.
However, Tang Luo did not choose to leave through the main gate.
Because she remembered her father's warning that bad people were now watching the front gate and that she shouldn't go out casually.
Therefore, she decided to look for another way.
I remember the last time I played with Er Gou, we found a dog hole in a secluded corner!
Although how could a princess like her crawl through a dog hole, she was willing to risk her reputation and trick her mother into doing it for her father's sake!
Meanwhile, Yun Quan had no idea that a little guy had his eye on her!
The Yun residence was unusually lively today. Before dawn, the steward led people to decorate everywhere!
"Qinghe! Qinghe!" Yun Juan lay motionless on the couch, awakened by the noise outside!
"Oh dear! My good lady! Why are you awake so early? It's not even dawn yet!" Qinghe looked at her young mistress with heartache.
For some reason, she felt that her young mistress was very tired lately, and there were even bruises under her eyes!
She figured he must be overwhelmed by things at the shop lately! Thinking is much more tiring than doing things!
"Look at your young lady, how can I possibly sleep? What's going on outside? It's so noisy!" Yun Juan scratched her hair, her face slightly darkened, her mood not very good!
She has a bad temper when she wakes up; if she's not fully awake, she gets irritable, as if the whole world has turned gray.
"Miss, don't you remember? Today is the old lady's birthday! So the manor started preparing early!" Qinghe poured Yun Juan a cup of hot tea and handed it to her.
Yun Juan thought for a while, and seemed to remember someone saying that!
However, Yun Ting was so busy with his mistress yesterday that he forgot about it!
"You can't go empty-handed for a birthday celebration, can you?" Yun Juan asked tentatively.
Qinghe scratched her head: "It seems like it's not possible! But this is easy! Usually, for birthdays, people give embroidered longevity patterns or precious jewels! What can you do, Miss?"
Sending precious jewels? Yun Juan immediately rejected this option, as that would mean giving away a lot of hard-earned money.
“Treasures are too common! It has to be heartfelt! How can I give treasures? You can buy them anywhere! How much more sincere can a handmade gift show my sincerity?” Yun Juan blinked at Qing He.
Qinghe looked at her young mistress suspiciously. "Hmm! I believe you! Are you sure you're not just afraid of spending money?"
She knew her young mistress well after spending time with her; in her mistress's words, "If we can get something for free, we'll do it for free!"
We won't do things that cost money!
If you ask why, the answer is simple: I'm too poor! My only goal for the rest of my life is to achieve financial freedom!
Qinghe was also trying to find a solution for her young mistress, because there would be many guests on her birthday, and it was better to avoid trouble!
If our own mistress doesn't send gifts, she'll probably be criticized! It's also bad for her reputation!
After all, reputation is of utmost importance in this ancient society! So naturally, she had to consider everything for her mistress!
"Hey! I've got it!" Qinghe's eyes suddenly lit up as she came up with a great idea!
Yun Quan, who was still half asleep and wanted to continue her rendezvous with the Duke of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with dreams), was jolted awake by Qing He's words.
"Tell me! I want to hear it too! The key is that I don't want to give it to her!" Actually, if Yun Juan wanted to give it, she could just pull out any item from her space that would be better than anything else.
She simply felt that giving it to that old hag was a complete waste!
"Miss, if you don't see him off, people will gossip! Because Master is now the Prime Minister! Many ladies and young misses will be coming to the mansion!" Qinghe's meaning was very clear!
"Fine! Ancient morality is binding me again! Oh well, better to avoid trouble!" Yun Juan lay on the bed, wanting nothing more than to curse her father!
"Miss, you know how to write calligraphy, right? How about you write a couple of pieces to give to the old lady?" This was the most economical solution Qinghe could come up with!
Yun Juan thought it was feasible! However, she really couldn't write it herself! But she could put it on the space printer and print a copy!
If we add a few more chibi-style characters later, it will be a testament to her dedication!
Yun Juan was still incredibly sleepy and wanted to drift off to sleep, but Qing He pulled her up!
“Miss, you can’t sleep anymore! It’s already dawn! If you don’t get up and get ready, how will you outshine everyone?” Qinghe said, and started rummaging through my clothes.
One minute they say this is too plain and not glamorous enough; the next minute they say that is too bright and flashy.
She kept gesturing, as if she had something to complain about with every single piece of clothing.
After trying on clothes for most of the day, she still couldn't find one that satisfied her.
"Little Qinghe! Can you please let your young lady go?" Yun Juan said to Qinghe, her eyes half-closed as she lay on the table.
"Miss! Why aren't you worried at all! Maybe the Regent will come too!" Qinghe thought of her young mistress's engagement!
Yun Juan was still not in the mood; this kind of occasion was not suitable for her.
She prefers making money and then enjoying a comfortable life, and just wants to lie down quietly.
She always felt somewhat exhausted by those complicated interpersonal relationships and social activities.
In her view, life is short, so why make yourself so tired?
Instead, focus on what you are truly interested in and pursue inner peace and contentment.
So, despite the bustling activity around her, she remained calm and indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about it all.
However, that little girl Qinghe probably doesn't know that she has already met with the so-called regent!
Moreover, the legendary regent, who was supposed to be ruthless, decisive, and cold-blooded, and who could stop children from crying at night, would be so obedient, or even a little spoiled!
With his face that could be described as outrageous, Yun Quan actually thought it was normal for him to be a little delicate!
"Well... let's go with that red one!" Yun Juan loves bright red; it's flamboyant and passionate!
It was scorching everything around it!
She took out the mirror from her dressing table and looked at her upturned eyes. The beauty mark under her eye added a touch of allure!
She gently stroked her cheek, feeling the smoothness and delicacy of her skin.
The face seemed to be getting more and more familiar, as if it were gradually overlapping with the face she had before she traveled through time.
She fell into deep thought, recalling the world that once belonged to her.
She scrutinized her reflection in the mirror, trying to find traces of her past on her face. Eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth... every detail felt both strange and familiar to her.
