Green Mountain

Wu Yun lay on the woman’s warm lap, its bright black eyes scanning around, looking for an opportunity to escape.

But Yuan Jin Aunt never left her side for a moment, so it could only rest its head on the woman’s palm dejectedly, waiting for Yuan Jin Aunt to go to the toilet or change clothes.

Yuan Jin Aunt said by the side, "Madam, let’s go back to the bedroom and rest, it’s getting cold outside."

The woman smiled, "It’s rare for the moonlight to be so beautiful tonight. If I can’t see the great mountains and rivers outside, then looking at the moon will suffice. Yuan Jin Aunt, don’t rush me... I heard from Yuan Yang that today, Princess Yongchun caused a ruckus in Jingyang Palace and nearly offended the Crown Prince?"

Yuan Jin Aunt replied, "The little eunuch who delivered the decree was ignorant. He shouted ’Yulin Army’ at the entrance of Jingyang Palace. Fortunately, Daoist Xuanzhen restrained her, preventing a major disaster."

The woman stroked Wu Yun’s head, gazing at the moon in a trance, and said, "When Princess Yongchun eloped with Zhou Zhuoyuan, I was still very young. When I heard about it, I thought she was incredibly bold. But as I grew older, I realized the late Emperor was so unfeeling. Knowing that Princess Yongchun favored Zhou Zhuoyuan, why did he still arrange another marriage for her? At that time, I thought it was remarkable that she could step onto that southbound ship; at least she had a taste of freedom."

Yuan Jin Aunt said softly, "But she was still brought back by the Cao Guild."

The woman smiled wryly, "Indeed, this cage is far from simple; it cannot be broken."

Yuan Jin Aunt said no more.

The woman asked nonchalantly, "I also heard that Prince Jing’s two daughters are also confined in Jingyang Palace?"

Wu Yun’s ears immediately perked up!
