Teaser:

Whether it was Mu Liuyue or Chu Qingge, choosing to discuss Han Yunxi’s “dowry” in a place like this was simply sticking up their noses to humiliate her. Everyone assumed that Han Yunxi would get into a fight with the other two members of the harem, but she remained unmoved.

‘He is strong, let him be strong, I am the cool breeze that brushes away the small hill; He is rowdy, let him be rowdy, I am the bright moon that shines on the great river.’1 As light and airy as a breezy cloud, Han Yunxi sat there with a slight smile. She liked it when things got wild, but she refused to be the target of such ruckus.

Chu Qingge found herself in an awkward situation when Han Yunxi didn’t rise to the bait. She was preparing to answer her own question when Mu Liuyue immediately gave her a chance to step down gracefully.

With a smile, Mu Liuyue said, “Is there a need to ask that? When the bride caravan was going through the city streets, everyone in the capital saw that she had no dowry!”

Mu Liuyue had been waiting a long time for this day. She was going to give it her all this time. Her days in the Eastern Palace were already unbearable. The title of crown prince’s sort seemed strong and magnificent, but only she knew the trials and troubles she faced. Even if the crown prince ascended the throne one day and she preserved her title with the strength of her clan behind her to be empress, so what? Her days would be as miserable as ever!

Right now, her only goal was to ruin Han Yunxi in turn for ruining her! Joining hands with Chu Qingge was the best choice. As long as she helped Chu Qingge today and left a good impression, it’ll be much easier cooperating with her in the future. Han Yunxi, so you won’t talk? I’ll force you until you have to.

Mu Liuyue purposely turned her head towards Han Yunxi and said loudly, “Imperial Qin Aunt, are you too afraid to admit it?”

Chu Qingge had just married into the palace, after all, so she would act reserved. Mu Liuyue, on the other hand, took advantage of her position to come straight to the point!

How terrifying!

The room descended into absolute silence. Everyone looked towards Han Yunxi as they grew inexplicably nervous. Han Yunxi slowly finished her tea and elegantly set down the teacup. Only then did she speak.

“What’s there to fear? It’s true, I had no dowry. It was already an honor for His Highness to marry me, so why would I need such a thing?”

The silence grew longer in the room, enough to hear a needle drop on the ground. Mu Liuyue was rendered tongue-tied, while Chu Qingge only gaped. Nobody else knew what to say.

TLer’s note: Haha, so funny story, I was listening to a Yuki Kajiura playlist while translating this part and the excerpt below came up right as Han Yunxi spoke. Thought it fit, so you can have a listen too!
