Resisting the Wind and Splendor

“But…” Lu Yunfei had said that he would never care about this witch.

But the mother is inside smashing things right now. If the demoness goes in and accidentally hits her with something, she could get hurt.

He wasn't concerned about the demoness; he was just afraid of how to explain it to his fourth brother.

"Wait a moment."

After stopping her, Lu Yunfei turned and went inside.

Consort Yu was still throwing a tantrum, and somehow, the object seemed to have actually hit someone.

It's unclear how much time passed before Lu Yunfei finally emerged from inside.

Chu Yueli could clearly see that his brocade robe was soaked with tea.

"You...you can go in now, Mother has calmed down," Lu Yunfei said.

Chu Yueli suddenly felt like laughing; this big boy... was quite amusing.

However, Consort Yu was inside, waiting to vent her anger on her. If she entered with a smile, Consort Yu would surely be so angry she'd vomit blood.

Chu Yueli composed herself before stepping inside and bowing gracefully to Consort Yu, who was seated in a chair: "Greetings, Mother Consort. May you be well."

Today was supposed to be the day to return to the palace to pay respects to the Emperor and Empress Dowager, but no one expected such a dramatic change to occur. The day after the Mo King's wedding, he led his troops on a campaign, and the matter of returning to the palace to pay respects was put on hold.

In short, all the rules have been thrown into chaos.

Even Consort Yu ran away from the palace.

Consort Yu looked at her, her anger still lingering, a hint of fury still visible in her eyes.

Chu Yueli remained silent, simply standing quietly to the side, bowing and maintaining the posture of a curtsy.

Consort Yu did not tell her to get up, and she dared not move for the time being.

After an unknown amount of time, Consort Yu finally let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "Get up and sit down. He's done everything for you. If I make things difficult for you, he'll probably be angry with his old mother when he comes back!"

"Thank you, Mother." Chu Yueli stood up, walked to the chair next to her, and was about to clear the things off the chair.

Yu Fei suddenly stood up, turned around and walked towards the door: "This place is no longer suitable for anyone. Let's go to the side hall."

Upon arriving at the side hall, Zisu had already brought tea and snacks.

Thunder and Clouds waited outside, cautious and trembling, not daring to stray even a step away.

Yu Fei was furious at the sight of these two. Were they afraid that she would harm their princess?

Zisu put down the tea and snacks and said softly, "Your Highness, these were specially prepared by my young lady. There are sweet cakes, jade face cakes, egg custard, and loquat syrup with toon leaves. Your Highness, would you like to try them?"

"Toona sinensis and loquat syrup?" Yu Fei, who was still angry, couldn't help but change her expression slightly upon hearing this: "What the hell is this?"

Who would cook toon leaves and loquat together? The taste is simply unimaginable!

"Your Majesty has been coughing these past few days. Loquat is very effective in treating coughs. As for toon, it can balance the sourness of the loquat and enhance its medicinal effects. Combined with Lady Qing's special medicinal ingredients, the resulting nectar is fragrant, sweet, and mellow, with both excellent taste and therapeutic effects."

Zisu poured a small cup and respectfully presented it to Consort Yu: "Your Highness, would you like to try it first? If you don't like it, this servant will take it away immediately."

Yufei originally disliked the taste of toon, but for some reason, this toon and loquat syrup, which clearly also tasted like toon, was not unpleasant at all.

That does pique some people's curiosity.

Consort Yu took it, tasted it, and her furrowed brows slowly relaxed a little.

After taking another sip, she simply drank the whole glass.
