Chapter 1067: Angry Chapter 1067: Angry Editor: Atlas Studios “Didn’t you say that you’re not a fan of wearing watches?

You said you’d just ask the servants if you wanted to know the time.” Qi Haoran puffed up his cheeks.

“I said that I don’t like carrying watches, so you just decided not to give me one?

Then when I was sick, I also said that I didn’t like to take medicine.

Didn’t you force me to drink it anyway?” Mu Yangling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that.

She patted his shoulder and said, “Alright, I understand.

Isn’t it just a pocket watch?

I’ll give one to you.” Was a pocket watch what he wanted?

What he wanted was her affection.

Qi Haoran puffed up his cheeks and looked at her grumpily.

If he wanted a pocket watch, he could always buy it himself.

However, seeing that Ah Ling had already stood up and left, he could only sit down and be angry with himself.

Mu Yangling waved her hand and called Xiao Ting over.

“Go back to the residence immediately and get Rain to retrieve the second box on the left of the ancient shelf in the inner room.

Bring it to me.

I want to use it tonight.” Although West Mountain was not far from the capital, it would take eight hours to travel on a fast horse.

Now that it was past noon, they would have to travel overnight.

Xiao Ting did not dare to delay and immediately called two guards to return to the capital.

When Mu Yangling went to the Empress’s tent to look for her, the imperial concubines and princes in the palace were all here.

The boy-girl twins, Little Fu, Mingzhu, and the Second Prince were sitting together, clumsily eating with their spoons.

When they saw their mother enter, they looked up before lowering their heads to continue eating.

With a smile, Little Madam Xia said to Noble Consort Duan-Xian, “Children are very childish.

They know that their mother refused to bring them out to play.” Hearing this, the Imperial Concubines couldn’t help but purse their lips and smile.

They looked up at the interaction between the three of them.

Mu Yangling bowed to the Empress first.

Just as she was about to go and see the boy-girl twins, the Second Prince waved his hand happily.

“Fourth Aunt, Fourth Cousin and Sister have all finished a bowl of meat soup.” As soon as the Second Prince finished speaking, Little Leopard stuffed another spoonful into his mouth and dropped some fine pieces of food.

The Second Prince hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe them for him.

Mu Yangling stroked his head with a smile.

“Wensu has grown up and knows how to take care of his younger siblings.

Where are Little An and the rest?” The Second Prince said a little dejectedly, “Brother Little An and the others went riding horses.

Brother Crown Prince and Eldest Cousin went into the mountains to hunt.” “Then why didn’t you go with them?” Qi Wensu had learned how to ride with Tiger Head and the others.

According to his age, he should also be playing with Tiger Head and the others.

The Second Prince looked at his Mother Consort and lowered his head without saying a word.

Concubine Zhao said with a faint smile, “Your Highness, the Second Prince is weak and young.

I’m worried that he’ll catch a cold, so I didn’t let him go.

Besides, his brothers are all here.

He should attend to Her Majesty instead.” The tent fell silent and everyone looked at Princess Consort Rong and Concubine Zhao.

The Empress put down her teacup and said, “Concubine Zhao, thank you for being so considerate.

However, it’s better for a child to be more lively.

You should let him play with his cousins.

It’s enough for me to have you guys accompany me.” She turned around and interrupted Mu Yangling.

“Since you just came out of the forest, you must not have eaten.

I heard His Majesty order for food to be served just now.

Don’t go back to the tent to eat and just eat here.” She got someone to serve food to Mu Yangling and even glanced at her warningly.

Little Madam Xia also tugged at her sleeve.

However, Mu Yangling’s expression was still serious, and there was no trace of the smile from before.

She had taken care of Qi Wensu for three years.

Back then, he was only five years old when he went to Guangzhou.

One would develop feelings for cats and dogs after three years, let alone a child raised as a son.

Seeing Concubine Zhao use Qi Wensu like a tool, she couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart.

Wen Cui personally set the table for Mu Yangling.

Meanwhile, Concubine Shi and the others lowered their eyes and felt that Concubine Zhao was courting death.

The other newly promoted concubines were shocked.

Wen Cui was the Empress’s trusted aide.

When they saw her, they had to call her ‘Aunt’.

Other than the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince, they had never seen her serve tea and rice to anyone else.

Seeing that there was still no smile on Mu Yangling’s face, Wen Cui smiled and said, “Your Highness, this is clear soup made by our Empress’s small kitchen.

I know you like it, so I’ve been simmering it with firewood since this morning.

Do try it.

If it doesn’t suit your palate, I’ll get someone to revise the recipe later.” Mu Yangling relaxed and asked, “Doesn’t your Empress like to drink thick soup?

Why are you studying how to make clear soup instead?” “Isn’t it because you like clear soups, Your Highness?” Wen Cui said with a smile, “The Empress knows that you’re kept busy on the hunting grounds.

A few days ago, you even specially left the capital to hunt.

She’s certain you’d hunt to your heart’s content here at the Autumn Hunt, so she instructed the kitchen staff to prepare more dishes that Your Highness, the Duke, and the Young Masters enjoy.

In the next few days, the two masters will probably be eating here, too.” Little Madam Xia stood up and bowed.

“Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Your Majesty.

Our master indeed instructed us to come directly to Your Majesty’s place to have dinner and supper tonight.” The Empress smiled and said, “As long as they don’t mind my simple meals.” Mu Yangling drank a bowl of soup and said nonchalantly, “If you call this a simple meal, then our food will be even more inedible.” When Concubine Shi and Concubine Xu heard this, they felt a little regretful.

Since Prince Rong and the Duke were going to eat here, the Emperor would definitely come to the Empress’s place.

They had originally wanted to take the opportunity to invite the Emperor to their tent.

Concubine Zhao had obviously thought of this as well, seeing the way she gnashed her teeth slightly.

After the Second Prince returned to the capital, the Emperor would visit him from time to time.

She had originally wanted to use the Second Prince to lure the Emperor over, but who knew that the Empress would come up with such a measure.

Mu Yangling ignored the silent infighting and chatted with the children for a while after eating.

When it was time for an afternoon nap, the imperial concubines bade farewell one after another.

Those who had brought their child held their child’s hand, preparing to leave.

Just then, Mu Yangling turned to Concubine Zhao and said, “Concubine Zhao, I obtained a treasure when I went to the forest today and I’d like to give it to the Second Prince.

Why don’t you leave him with me?” Stunned, Concubine Zhao subconsciously grabbed the Second Prince’s hand, causing to grit his teeth in pain.

Mu Yangling continued, “You don’t have to worry about his afternoon nap.

The tent where Tiger Head and the others are staying is spacious.

Just let the Second Prince rest in the tent and I’ll send him back at night.

How about that?” Concubine Zhao really wanted to object, but with Mu Yangling gazing at her with bright eyes, she felt pressured and couldn’t say anything to object.

The Empress smiled and said, “In that case, the Second Prince can stay.

You grew up under the care of Princess Consort Rong and she treats you like her own son.

It’s only natural that she dotes on you.” Then, she said to the other Imperial Concubines who had princes, “I hope the rest of you aren’t jealous.” The Imperial Concubines shook their heads.

They were definitely not jealous.

Everyone could tell that Concubine Zhao was making use of her son to fight for the Emperor’s favor, and Princess Consort Rong was acting like this because she couldn’t bear to see that.

Whether it was for the Empress or the Second Prince, it was not a good thing for Concubine Zhao.

It was better for them not to get involved.

Concubine Zhao gritted her teeth in hatred, but she could only bow and leave.

Mu Yangling picked up the boy-girl twins and said to the Empress, “Then I’ll go back first.” “You.” The Empress wanted to reprimand her, but seeing that there were many other people in the tent, she swallowed her words and waved her hand.

“Go, go.” Mu Yangling said to Qi Wensu, who had his head lowered, “Come with me.”
