Did the Prime Minister Attend Court Today? - Chapter 82

Even every time she went to his room, she had to fortify herself with a drink beforehand. Perhaps she appeared strong on the outside, but in front of this person, she was always filled with self-doubt.

Mo Yu was exasperated. “What else could it be? Am I waiting for a ghost? I’ve waited for so many years, and never once did you come. I always thought you disliked me, so I dared not incur your displeasure. I could only wait. Now that I can’t wait anymore, I’ve come to ask myself. So, Madam, will you finally come to have dinner in my courtyard? If you refuse this time, then don’t come again in the future. I can’t bear to see your cold face anymore.” Mo Yu shook off her hand and turned to leave.

Just as Mo Yu turned around, she was tightly embraced from behind. “Wait… I’ll come… I’ll come… I didn’t know…” I didn’t know you were waiting for me all this time... If she had known, she would have been so happy that she would fly.

Tears fell from Mo Yu’s eyes, and finally, he reached up and took off the white jade pendant hanging around his neck, a very beautiful item.

She knew it was his treasure and never allowed herself to touch it. She was jealous because it was a gift from the person he loved.

Mo Yu took it off and looked at the woman whose face suddenly darkened, and instantly understood.

She must had always thought this was a gift from the person he loved!

“Open it and see. After you’ve seen it, decide whether you’ll come to dinner, or if you’ll ever come to my courtyard again.” Mo Yu said as he strode towards his yard. He turned his head and smiled at her for the first time.

At that moment, Zhang Yunhe was stunned.

It was as if she had returned to the first time she met him. By the time she regained her senses, he was already far away, his figure quickly disappearing.

Nervously, she opened the jade pendant, inside which lay a neatly rolled-up piece of paper.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly unfolded it, and a familiar handwriting came into view.

What is love in this world? It teaches us to risk life and death for each other!

This was a phrase she had practiced casually once, which had inexplicably disappeared from her book later. She had thought she had lost it.

Something cold fell from her eyes.

“I’m the fool after all…” Zhang Yunhe said, looking into the distance and immediately started running after him.

When she reached the gate of Mo Yu’s courtyard, she saw the father and daughter having a meal inside.

Looking at them with teary eyes, she suddenly said, “Mo Yu, I’m sorry. Can I still come in now?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Mo Yu smiled slightly and pointed to the side next to her, “It’s you who never came. There was always a place for you here!”

“Mum, come eat quickly! Dad’s cooking is so delicious.”

“Okay…”

Zhang Yunhe smiled foolishly for the first time. The happiness she wanted was always within reach, but she didn’t realize it. She only hoped that there would be no more misunderstandings between them in the future…

She had never known that the one she loved secretly loved her back… She was too stupid.

…

When Gu Tingshu saw Mo Yu again, it was half a month later… During this time, nothing significant had happened in the capital city, and life remained mundane.

The only thing of note was that the young Empress had recently favored a new beauty, often spending nights with him.

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Xian couldn’t help but feel exasperated.

So young and already thinking about finding a man! What is the world coming to?

Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet——

On this day, civil and military officials were allowed to bring their families into the palace.

At the banquet, Gu Tingshu sat dignified next to Zhao Xian. “Lady Wife, look, it’s Lord Zhang and his consort. They seem different now.” It’s hard to pinpoint how exactly, but it’s quite apparent that they give off a different impression now.
