Heartstrings Resonance: The Beloved Princess of the Female Power

After hearing what Mu Yunxi said, Yongle's eyes flashed with a cold light. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, you can give it a try! Then I will endure it for now and deal with him. I don't believe that I can't defeat him in this life?" As he spoke, a chill appeared on Yongle's face, and he even used the word "self-proclaimed".

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. They looked towards the door in surprise, only to see that it was already completely dark. The maid standing outside the door asked softly, "Misses, may Bi'er come in and light the lamp?"

Only then did they realize that night had fallen. It was dark all around them, and they could only vaguely see each other's blurry faces. They couldn't help but sigh that time had passed so quickly. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they had forgotten the passage of time.

Yongle replied, "Come in." There was a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Mu Yunxi also stood up and said goodbye to Yongle: "I'm going to rest now. Let's continue our conversation tomorrow."

Yongle nodded, expressing his understanding. Mu Yunxi turned and walked out of the room, only to find that her maid had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Miss Mu!" The maid Liu'er bowed respectfully.

Mu Yunxi looked at her and asked with concern, "Has my mother rested yet?"

Liu Er shook her head and replied, "Madam Mu went to the eldest young master's wife's courtyard. She specifically instructed that if Miss Mu and Miss Luo Ran were done chatting, they didn't need to wait and could go and rest directly."

Mu Yunxi nodded, thinking that her mother must have something important to deal with. She said to Liu'er, "Okay, prepare some hot water. I want to wash up."

Liu'er responded, then helped Mu Yunxi back to the room.

Just then, Xing'er came in with a bowl of hot medicine and carefully placed it on the table. She asked softly, "Miss Mu, do you want to take this medicine now?"

Mu Yunxi suddenly remembered that she hadn't taken her evening medicine yet, so she said to Xing'er, "Give me the medicine, I'll drink it now."

Xing'er nodded, took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, handed it to Mu Yunxi, and said, "This is what Madam Wu asked me to give to you, Miss Mu. She said you know how to use it."

Mu Yunxi took the small porcelain bottle, opened the cap and took a sniff. A medicinal fragrance filled her nostrils, which lifted her spirits. She smiled and said to Xing'er, "Thank you."

Xing Er heard this and quickly waved her hands, saying, "No need to thank me, Miss. This is what I should do."

Mu Yunxi looked at her panic and couldn't help but sigh at the humility and caution of the people in this era. She sighed softly and said to Xing'er gently, "Okay, then you go down first."

Xing'er responded and retreated respectfully.

The next morning, Mu Yunxi got up early. After quickly washing up, she went straight to find Xiao Yao.

"Mom, did you go to see Aunt Qin last night?" Mu Yunxi asked softly as she walked into the inner room. When she got closer, she saw Mother Wu combing Xiao Yao's hair and couldn't help but exclaim, "Mother Wu is so skillful!"

When Mother Wu heard the praise, she responded with a smile, "Miss, you are too kind. It's just practice makes perfect." She continued to skillfully tie her hair without any pause in her hands.

Xiao Yao looked at Mu Yunxi through the bronze mirror and asked gently, "What's wrong? Did you come here so early in the morning just to ask about this?"

Mu Yunxi answered frankly: "Nothing, I just didn't see you last night, so I came to ask."

Xiao Yao asked with concern: "How is your injury? Do you feel better?"

Mu Yunxi nodded and said in a relaxed tone: "Well, it's getting better day by day, and the pain has eased a lot." She carefully felt the condition of her body and spoke truthfully.

Xiao Yao nodded with satisfaction and said with emotion: "Dr. Chen's medical skills are indeed superb. You must take good care of yourself and don't get hurt again." Her eyes revealed deep concern and worry.

"I understand, mother." Mu Yunxi replied obediently. In the time it took to say these few words, Mother Wu had quickly put Xiao Yao's hair into a bun and simply embellished it with a jade hairpin.

Xiao Yao stood up, pulled Mu Yunxi to sit down together, and then began to tell what happened last night: "I went to see your Aunt Qin last night. She asked me to come over and said she had something important to tell me." Having said that, Xiao Yao gestured to Mother Wu to close the door.

After Mother Wu closed the door and left to wait outside, Xiao Yao continued, "She had a painting in her hand, one she'd painted when she was a young girl. She said it was of a noblewoman she'd seen in the capital, and she remembered passersby saying she was the Prime Minister's granddaughter. She was struck by her beauty and elegance, and on a whim, she painted it. I've seen the painting, and while the technique is a bit immature, the facial features are still recognizable. She'd almost forgotten about it until Miss Qin took it to copy, and she suddenly realized something was amiss."

"What's wrong with the painting?" Mu Yunxi asked at the right time.

"She said that the person in the painting looks very similar to Miss Luo Ran. And they seemed unaware of the princess's disappearance. I think it was for the sake of the princess's reputation that the royal family did not make it public; that's why we didn't hear any rumors along the way." Xiao Yao said in a low voice.

Mu Yunxi had been listening carefully, but she was thinking to herself: "We have been traveling all the way from the north to the south, and we haven't encountered any soldiers or officers?" She was puzzled, so she asked Xiao Yao this question directly.

Xiao Yao replied: "Yes, I find it strange too. I'm afraid someone here is pretending to obey but actually disobeying." Her eyes gradually turned cold.

Mu Yunxi sighed, "It's not a good thing to be in a country with too many parasites."

Xiao Yao nodded in agreement: "Yes, although these termites may not cause much harm, they can make people feel disgusted and disgusted."

"Then Aunt Qin can't just ask you to go see the paintings, right?" Mu Yunxi asked.

"Well, she gave me the painting, saying it couldn't be kept. She also just remembered the current identity of the person in the painting. If Lan Jie'er hadn't taken it out to copy, she wouldn't have remembered it. She asked me to give it to Miss Luo Ran and let her take it back. She also asked me to say something good about it and hoped she wouldn't blame me." Xiao Yao repeated Liu's words and took out the painting.

"Well, give it to me. I'll give it to Ayin." Thinking of something, Mu Yunxi said again: "How did they confirm Ayin's identity? Based on this painting?" Mu Yunxi took the painting and spread it out on the table.

The woman in the painting is dressed in green, has long hair, a delicate face and a gentle expression, and is somewhat similar to Ayin.

Mu Yunxi frowned. "Could it be that you really determined Ayin's identity just because of a painting? That's too hasty!"

She said it was because of Miss Luo Ran's demeanor. "Besides, once I took the painting, she was sure of it," Xiao Yao said after taking a sip of tea.

Mu Yunxi nodded after hearing this, put the painting away, and then said, "Okay, I'll go tell Ayin and see what she thinks."

"Well, go ahead," Xiao Yao replied. Watching Mu Yunxi leave, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Princess Yongle liked her daughter's unpretentious nature. At the same time, she also felt that her daughter had grown a lot after going through this hardship. She sighed inwardly.

Mu Yunxi took the painting and went straight to Yongle's door. She asked the old woman guarding the door, "Is Miss Luo Ran still not up?"

"Miss Mu, there is no movement in the inner room." The old woman replied respectfully.

Mu Yunxi was just about to come back later when Yongle's pleasant voice came from inside the room: "Is that Yunxi?"

"It's me, Ayin." Mu Yunxi replied.

"Come in!" Yongle's voice came again.

Mu Yunxi felt someone come forward to open the door. It turned out to be Bi'er. Bi'er smiled and said to Mu Yunxi, "Miss Luo Ran asked Miss Mu to come in."

Seeing that she had just woken up, Mu Yunxi said apologetically, "Did I wake you up?"

Yongle shook his head, stretched, yawned, and replied lazily: "No, I've been awake for a while."

Seeing this, Mu Yunxi stopped being polite and walked directly to the bedside to sit down. She handed the scroll in her hand to Yongle and asked softly, "Who does this portrait look like?"

Yongle took the scroll, unfolded it, and a playful look flashed across her eyes. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she jokingly said, "Isn't this a painting of me you made? But your painting skills aren't very good!" Then, she examined the portrait more closely, and suddenly noticed something was wrong. Confused, she asked, "Huh? This paper... something's wrong. Why does this painting feel a little old?"

Mu Yunxi quickly explained: "It was not painted by me. This was painted by Liu, the eldest lady of the Qin family, when she was in her teens. Later, I asked my mother to pass it to you." As he spoke, he repeated to Yongle exactly what Xiao Yao had just said.

"My mother wasn't married at the time. Well, if she were a man, she would definitely pursue the matter. Not everyone can keep the portrait of the mother of a country privately. Give it to me." Seeing that Mu Yunxi had nothing but the painting in her hands, he said angrily, "Doesn't the Qin family even have a box to present the painting?"

Mu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "It seems there is, but I didn't take it."

Yongle glared at her unhappily.

Mu Yunxi touched her nose and whispered, "I will learn to respect the royal family as soon as possible." After that, she immediately called the servant who served Yongle and told him to go to Xiao Yao to get a box.

When Yongle heard this, he glared at Mu Yunxi again and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you have a royal family there?"

Mu Yunxi shook her head and replied, "No, but we do have a general leader who is elected every four years. Unlike you, we do not determine our leader through bloodline inheritance."

Just as Yongle was about to ask more questions, a maid came in carrying a box. Mu Yunxi took the box, put the scroll away, and then asked the maid to leave the room.

"At the beginning, I thought your place was so beautiful because your king governed well." Yongle sighed.
