Chapter 167
Su Qing couldn't help but sigh, "It wouldn't be easy even if we had a new year."
"Yeah, mother, I'm starving. Hurry up and get me something to eat."
Mu Yunyao giggled as she leaned against Su Qing's shoulder and said, "Mother, I'm so hungry that I can't walk anymore."
"Quickly go back to your room and sit down. Mother will bring you something nice to eat right now."
The night was as lively as ever, but it was not suitable for King Fu and Supervisor Qin to stay in the Su residence. At this moment, the embroidery garden was completely silent. King Fu stood at the door listening to the noise coming from next door and looked at the fireworks in the sky.
Steward Qin took the cape and said, "Prince, the weather is cold, so you should pay extra attention to it."
"Compared to western Guangdong, this place is really warm." Even though he said that, King Fu still put on his cape to prevent Steward Qin from worrying.
Manager Qin's eyes were full of smiles: "Yesterday, during the new year celebration in the Su residence, it was really lively and bustling. This is the first time this old servant has felt so comfortable."
Yue Wang's eyes softened for a moment. He had trained in martial arts for many years and his hearing was much better than an average person's and his study was not far from the neighboring area. At this moment, he could clearly hear Mu Yunyao's movements.
Chief Steward Qin vaguely heard this and couldn't help but suggest with a smile, "In the past, when we were in Western Guangdong, we saw Taiheng and Yu Yi carving ice lamps. How about we get them to carve two for Lady Mu later?"
Yue Yang's eyes moved slightly: "What is there to look at with that ice lamp?"
"Girls always like those exquisite things. Miss Mu is no exception. Miss Mu has helped us quite a bit in this half year. It's only right for her to do some small things to cheer her up."
"No need."
Supervisor Qin felt a little pity as he said: "Then we will listen to Prince and not trouble ourselves with that matter. I don't know if Miss Mu has any capable people who can make an ice lamp that suits her."
"Uncle Qin, it's getting late. You should go back and rest."
"Alright, the weather is cold. Your Highness should go in as soon as possible."
Yue Yang nodded his head and waited for Steward Qin to leave before his gaze involuntarily landed on the courtyard next door. At this moment, there were fireworks going off next door, and it was unknown if the Ice Lamp was ready. Mu Yunyao also became excited on the spur of the moment. She recalled the ice lamps she had seen at the lanterns in her previous life, the ones that could be used to carve ice into various shapes. She had seen the largest lotus shaped ice lamp, and the layers of petals were as thick as a butterfly's wing.
The candle flame that was lit in the middle was really amazing.
The ice itself was very fragile, and it was difficult to carve it. It was broken into pieces, but one could only make a few simple ice bowls. After lighting a few candles, it looked very nice.
The liveliness lasted for a long time, before Mu Yunyao couldn't help but get tired. Everyone knew that she had went to many places to visit, so they all advised her to go back and rest.
Returning to her room, Mu Yunyao laid on her bed. Listening to the sounds of firecrackers coming from outside, she actually couldn't fall asleep again. After finally feeling muddled for a while, she heard a sound from her window.
A black shadow was reflected on the window paper, whining and groaning. No one knew what he was doing.
Mu Yunyao's heart tightened. She took out the dagger that the King had given her from under the pillow and quietly got off the bed. She fiercely opened the window and stabbed at the figure outside.
His wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone, and the cold yet powerful touch made Mu Yunyao's scalp tingle. As she was feeling flustered in her heart, a familiar voice rang out:
"Are you trying to kill me?"
King Yue's voice?
The window was completely pushed open, and Mu Yunyao finally clearly saw the person outside. He wore a silver white cape, and his face was cool and handsome without a doubt. The white snow behind him made him seem like an unreal person.
Mu Yunyao let out a heavy sigh of relief. Just then, she had thought that she had encountered the assassination attempt by her previous life's Su Family. She immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "Fourth Master, did you not feel anything amiss when you suddenly came to my place at night?"
When King Fu saw her appearance, he frowned in disapproval.
She was wearing a snow-white robe without any makeup on her hair. It was unknown if it was because it was cold or not, but her lips were slightly pale, making her look extremely pitiful.
"Put your clothes on first." As the nervousness in her heart faded, Mu Yunyao felt cold sweat dripping down her back. She quickly closed the window and put on her clothes before opening the door: "Master Four, if there's anything you need to talk about, come in and talk." Last time, King Yue had barged into her room at night.
There was no need to pay attention to the second time. Yue Yang moved his feet, still standing before the window. After a moment, he bent down and picked up an ice lamp from the ground, the ice lamp was carved in an exquisite manner, about a foot wide, with the shape of a candle in the center.
Her small mouth was tilted upwards with a hint of craftiness in it, making her look exceptionally agile and adorable.
Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment before she couldn't help but smile, "What an exquisite ice lamp. It's already so late, are there still people selling ice lamps on the streets?"
Yue Yang frowned: "I did it."
"You did it?" Mu Yunyao was astonished. Only when she observed carefully did she realize that the cat on the ice lamp looked extremely similar to the cat that Yue Wang had pinched with the dough. With a single glance, she could tell that it was from the same person's work.
"When I was young, there was nothing to play with, so I was taught by Eunuch Cheng to carve all kinds of small toys. I could play with a piece of wood for a few days." As the Titan spoke, it was as if he was reminiscing about the past. Occasionally, a haze flashed across his eyes, and occasionally, a flash of nostalgia. There was an indescribable complexity in his eyes.
Mu Yunyao's fingers slightly tightened as she felt a sharp pain on her palm, but the smile on her face was impeccable. "Many thanks to Fourth Master for sending me the ice lamp. If there's nothing else, I should rest."
Yue Yang looked at her, his eyes cold and focused, as if he could control a person's soul. "You don't like ice lamps?" Mu Yunyao's heart trembled, but the smile on her face faded slightly. "Previously, when I was bored, I was joking and joking with Jinlan and the others. This ice lamp looks crystal clear and beautiful, but in reality it's exceptionally weak.
Forget it, if you really like it, then it would be easy for you to be sad. "
King Yue looked at the smile on Mu Yunyao's face and actually felt exceptionally uncomfortable. "Since you don't like it, then just throw it away." As he spoke, he threw the lamp on the windowsill at the bottom of the stairs. The smile on Mu Yunyao's face did not change as she bowed to King Yue and said, "It's getting late, Fourth Master should go back and rest."
