Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

"His Majesty spoke personally today, so please bear with it, Madam. You should be able to go home in about half a day."

Perhaps the Empress will see you, but don't worry, she will be seeing many noblewomen that day.

If asked about today's events, give me the answers I gave today. If there's anything you don't understand, just say you don't know.

Of course, if anyone causes you trouble, you are the matriarch of the Yuan family, my wife Yuan Shen. You have nothing to fear from anyone. If anyone speaks rudely, teach them a lesson.”

Tang Yu chuckled to herself at these protective remarks.

"I've heard that the Emperor's princesses are quite domineering. I hope they won't cause me any trouble. I've also heard that my husband used to be very popular."

These words instantly brought back memories for Yuan Shen.

“They don’t like me; your husband doesn’t even catch their eye.”

Chapter 22: Starry Sky 22

At that time, Tang Yu had not yet understood Yuan Shen's subtext.

Qingyang is too far from Kyoto, and Tang Yu doesn't really know much about what has happened in Kyoto in the past few years.

In addition, she didn't socialize much with wealthy women and gossip, so she didn't know much about the past between Cheng Shaoshang and Huo Buyi.

Tang Yu was not very clear about that epic love story, the princess who played a supporting role in it, or her husband's unrequited love.

After all, those years of mourning were extremely difficult; he couldn't eat or sleep well every day.

As for gossiping, what a joke! There aren't even any people visiting.

So when Tang Yu got up early this morning, he was still in a daze and let the maid dress and groom him.

She had no idea that she would see many of her husband's former lovers at today's banquet.

"Let me do your hair, madam."

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Shen had finished washing and dressing. He stepped forward, took the comb from the maid, and dismissed the others.

Tang Yu then opened her eyes groggily and spoke weakly.

"We're going to the palace today. If you dress me up ugly, you'll lose face. Make sure you look nice."

"Don't worry, I've been observing your maid for a long time and have already learned how to do it."

However, the lady looked utterly exhausted, so she closed her eyes and slept for a while longer.

Tang Yu wasn't embarrassed at all.

If Yuan Shen hadn't stayed up so late last night, she wouldn't be so tired today, so it's all his fault.

The hand on her head moved very gently. Tang Yu yawned, feeling almost drowsy.

When Tang Yu opened her eyes again, a brand new hairpin was already inserted on the top of her head.

It is very exquisite and beautiful, like a butterfly about to take flight.

"My husband, did you buy me another new hairpin?"

Yuan Shen bent down and leaned close to Tang Yu's cheek, his warm breath covering her fair neck.

"Like it?"

"Hmm...it's alright."

These words made Yuan Shen burst out laughing.

"Since Madam is satisfied, then you can sleep for a while. I'll carry you to the carriage, and you can sleep a little longer on the way."

The thought of going to the palace today made Tang Yu lose all interest, and she was also very sleepy, so she simply reached out and hugged the other person.

She let Yuan Shen carry her into the carriage.

Outside, the snow was still covering the ground, but inside the carriage it was quite warm, and Tang Yu was sleeping in her husband's arms.

"Madam, please don't go to sleep yet. There's something I'm afraid you might misunderstand, so I wanted to tell you in advance."

Tang Yu opened her eyes, feeling a little annoyed.

"Say it."

"General Huo and his wife will also be attending the palace banquet today. If you hear any nonsense or rubbish, please do not believe it, Madam."

Since getting married, all I've ever wanted is to grow old with my wife and have many children and grandchildren.

These words suddenly reminded Tang Yu of the gossip Wan Qiqi had once told him.

"General Huo's wife is Cheng Shaoshang? The woman who broke off the engagement and abandoned you?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shen's face darkened.

There's no need to summarize it like that.

"When young people are in love, they don't understand why they feel happy. They only know how to do things that make others angry and don't know what love or respect is."

"Shanjian was quite reckless in his youth. Fortunately, your wife didn't meet me then, otherwise she might have disliked me very much."

"As for Madam Huo, I have put the past behind me. Now I only want to look forward and live a loving life with my wife."

However, Shan Jian offended some people when he was young, and General Huo and his wife also offended some people.

I'm afraid that someone might say some nonsense to Madam, causing her to misunderstand. I ask that Madam not dwell on these past events.

Tang Yu couldn't help but laugh at the cautious tone.

Although she didn't know what the past was, who doesn't have a past?

In the 21st century, she had her first love and her unrequited love.

Later, when I was chasing after celebrities, I changed my crush every month, and I had countless crushes.

As for the apocalypse, those were memories Tang Yu didn't like, but she did have several relationships with men, though she didn't particularly like any of them.

"Don't worry, my husband. Unless you show affection for another woman in front of others and neglect me, I will not be affected."

"As for the person my husband liked when he was young, everyone has a past, right? Doesn't my husband know about my past too?"

These were meant as a joke, but Yuan Shen instantly hugged his wife tightly.

Tang Yu couldn't help but snort.

"What do you mean, my husband? I don't care about your past, but are you going to hold a grudge against me for it?"

Yuan Shen didn't speak, but lowered his head and kissed the other person very lightly and gently, and then gently bit him.

Tang Yu was about to bite back when the other person started rubbing against her neck and clinging to her.

"If Madam doesn't want to tell the truth, Shan Jian won't press her for details."

These words made Tang Yu feel a little guilty.

"What my husband said is truly incomprehensible."

Yuan Shen simply smiled and embraced his young wife, then chuckled softly near her blushing ears.

"My lady is a little liar, but I'll admit it. Go to sleep, it's still a long way to the palace."

Tang Yu didn't know what Yuan Shen had guessed, but she didn't dare to continue the topic, so she could only obediently close her eyes and go to sleep.

After Tang Yu closed her eyes, Yuan Shen silently summarized one more sentence in his heart.

He's not just a petty liar, he's also a coward.

Chapter 23: Starry Sky 23

The palace banquet was actually quite boring. After entering the palace, the two separated, and Tang Yu had to go with other noble ladies to pay their respects to the Empress.

This was Tang Yu's first time attending a major event since her marriage. Many people didn't recognize her, and only a few of Yuan's relatives were able to exchange a few words with her.

However, only a small number of people are able to attend this ceremony to pay homage to the Empress today, so most people still don't recognize her.

"Where is Yuan Tingwei's wife?"

For some reason, Empress Yue suddenly called her name.

Tang Yu could only hurry to the center of the hall to pay his respects to the Empress.

"This concubine greets the Empress, wishing her eternal happiness and joy."

Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn to Tang Yu.

When Tang Yu raised his face, the entire hall fell silent.

The pink dress made her look more beautiful than the flowers, and I don't know how she was born with such beautiful eyes and eyebrows; one glance is enough to make one's heart flutter.

After a long while, Empress Yue finally spoke with a smile.

"What a stunning beauty! Yuan Tingwei is so lucky!"

"Your Majesty flatters me."

Tang Yu was a little embarrassed and not very good at dealing with such palace banquet occasions.

Empress Yue noticed the other person's embarrassment and smiled as she waved.

"I feel an instant connection with you today. Come forward, I have something I'd like to give you."

Tang Yu stepped forward nervously and saw Empress Yue take off a white jade bracelet and put it directly on her wrist.

"This bracelet suits you perfectly, with your fair skin and delicate features."

Tang Yu naturally knelt down to thank the person in charge for the favor.

The Empress was, after all, the Empress, and she still had to entertain other noble ladies, so Tang Yu returned to her seat to rest.

After the group of noblewomen finished receiving the guests, everyone left the Empress's palace to proceed to the next part of the banquet.

Inside the Empress's palace, the Second Princess smiled and asked her mother a question.

"It seems that Mother Empress is quite fond of Lady Yuan?"

"What, you don't like such a beautiful woman? I feel good the moment I see her."
