C105 Back to the Door

Yuan Zhen waited outside Miao Yingyu's door for the whole night. Luckily, he was wearing thicker clothes and the fire had risen again. Otherwise, he would have frozen to death the next day.

Miao Yingyu's servant opened the door and saw Yuan Zhen curling up beside the extinguished fire at the door. His lips were purple, and it was unknown whether he was asleep or cold to death. The servant tried calling out a few times, "Elder Taoist? Elder Taoist?"

"What?" Yuan Zhen's eyes were blurred. He opened his eyes and curled his tongue.

"Go in quickly! There is charcoal fire in the room. Go and roast it." The servant knew that he was a good friend of his mistress, so he naturally did not dare to be neglectful.

"Good... good..." Yuan Zhen's hair was covered with a few drops of frost. He did not know where to look. Miao Yingyu added charcoal to the fire and looked at Yuan Zhen who was shaking with excitement. She could not help feeling sorry for him and pushed the brazier in his direction.

"We are getting married!" Yuan Zhen slowed down and looked at Miao Yingyu seriously speaking. He took out a dozen banknotes and a few bags of silver taels. "I came last night and did not have time to prepare the betrothal gifts."

Miao Yingyu looked at him in shock. Then, she put away the joy in her eyes and turned calm. She used iron pliers to dig at the charcoal fire. "Is it warm enough?"

"Why did you not answer me?" Yuan Zhen probed.

"I'm not marrying." Miao Yingyu replied resolutely, "Take this money back. I don't need it!"

"Why?" Yuan Zhen still refused to give up. "I have to take responsibility."

"Take responsibility for what? Nothing happened last night, you think too much." Miao Yingyu became more and more disgusted and used her strength to poke the ashes beside the charcoal fire.

"What happened to you?" Yuan Zhen did not understand. Could it be that you are not happy that I am marrying you?

"Are you done roasting? Go back when you are warm." Miao Yingyu stood up and walked out the door.

Yuan Zhen pulled on her sleeve with a dark expression. "I like you."

A smile slowly appeared on Miao Yingyu's lips. She turned her head to look at him and asked excitedly, "Really?"

"Uh... Yes, that's right." Yuan Zhen was stunned for half a night. He scratched the back of his head and his eyes flashed a few times. "I... like you."

"You don't even know how to lie?" The fire in Miao Yingyu's heart extinguished. There was no need for charity love. "You can leave. I didn't sleep well yesterday. I need to make up for my sleep now."

Yuan Zhen saw that she did not understand and got tired again. He took a step back. "Go to sleep. I will guard you here." He took a stool and sat beside the charcoal fire. "It's cold. I look at the fire."

Miao Yingyu felt warm in her heart, but no matter how she looked at it, it was not the emotion she wanted. "Why are you so stubborn? Like a stupid donkey!"

"Even if you are stubborn, you are still not as good as you." Yuan Zhen reclined on his chair.

The atmosphere finally eased up a little. The conversation between the two returned to its original state. Miao Yingyu finally had a sincere smile. "Stupid donkey."

Yuan Zhen looked like he did not care who he was. "Anyway, I will guard you here."

"Do as you wish." Miao Yingyu did not care about him. She laid on the bed and slept after covering herself with the blanket.

Yuan Zhen looked at her bedroom and saw that it was big and big. It had good taste... He shook his head. No, what does this have to do with me?

He did not know what he was thinking about, but he saw that the mattress on the bed seemed to have changed. The expression in his eyes changed again. Miao Yingyu turned around and kicked the blanket away.

Yuan Zhen felt a little helpless. Why was he sleeping so badly? He went up to cover her with the blanket again and looked at her peaceful sleeping face. Her beautiful face, her white skin, and her slightly red face... His hands involuntarily covered her face and he stopped again. He sat right next to the bed. She poked her own head. You! What was he thinking all day?

He returned to his chair and started the fire. The warmer his body was, the more he wanted to sleep. Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well last night...

Today was the day Mu Ruqing went back to her room. Yu Longchen did not ask about Shuang's matter last night. Mu Ruqing looked at the scenery outside the window and passed by Miao Yingyu's house. When she saw the black carbon that did not match the snow at the door, she could not help but be curious. What happened here last night? Smiling, he slowly climbed up.

Yu Longchen originally had his eyes closed. When he opened one of his eyes, he secretly glanced at Mu Ruqing. When he saw her turn around, he immediately closed his eyes.

The carriage leisurely arrived at the Prime Minister's Estate and entered through the main entrance.

Mu Ruqing had been impatient for a long time. Although she had left for three days straight, she felt that a few years had passed.

Mu Po and the old lady were already waiting in the main hall. When they saw Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing, they greeted them first. After all, the rank of the prince and the princess was above theirs.

"Grandmother, father." Mu Ruqing happily helped the two of them up. She looked at Yu Longchen and bowed at the same time. "Greetings Grandmother, Father (Father-in-law)."

"Good, good, good." The old lady stretched out her hand and waved, "Quickly sit, quickly sit!"

Mu Ruqing looked around and did not see Mrs Miao. Just as she was wondering, Mu Po answered her question, "Your mother has been busy in the kitchen, afraid that she will not be able to cook the dishes that you like."

"Oh, I will go and take a look. I miss my mother. Father, grandmother, you guys chat with His Royal Highness first. I will be back soon. " Mu Ruqing blessed herself and left.

"This child is just too good." The old lady looked at Yu Longchen and laughed heartily. She did not forget to praise Mu Ruqing.

Yu Longchen also smiled affirmatively.

Mu Ruqing brought the three of them and walked around the Prime Minister's residence. Xiangyi had been in the Prime Minister's residence for the longest time and naturally felt the most emotional. "Princess, it has been a long time since we came to the Prime Minister's residence! I really miss you."

"It has only been three days." Lingyue teased her, "Why is it like you marrying out? If you really marry in the future, won't you miss the Imperial Residence even more?"

"Gengci." Mei also laughed, "Sister Xiangyi might not be able to wait any longer."

"Only the two of you have a bad mouth!" Xiangyi was so angry that she stomped her feet and chased after them. The three of them chased and argued back and forth on the road.

Mu Ruqing looked at the lively three of them and felt a little gratified. Fortunately, there were the three of you. Otherwise, it would be so boring. Looking at the three of them who were gradually running away, she called out, "Be careful. Wait for me in the kitchen later."

"Yes." The three of them stopped and answered. Some of them chased and made a fuss as they went out. Since there was no one in the Prime Minister's residence to oppose her, Mu Ruqing was naturally safe. That was why the three of them dared to play around like this.

It was time to go to the kitchen. Mu Ruqing also did not go around in a circle. She turned left from the bamboo forest in the Prime Minister's residence to the kitchen. However, there were a lot of weeds on the road, so Mu Ruqing did not mind. She lifted her skirt and stepped over step by step. Every step she took, she would see how far it was. She really should not have played those days. If she went to the kitchen, it would be bad if her mother wasn't there anymore.

In a trance, he actually heard a sound from the side of the wall. He became interested and carefully placed his ear against the cold wall.

"Mistress, this is the third order from Sect Leader." His voice was a little sharp and had some dissatisfaction.

"I know, let's delay it for now." Hearing this voice, Mu Ruqing was frightened and was half a foot away from the wall. This was Mrs Miao's voice, how could it be...

"Mistress, there is someone behind the wall." Hearing this sentence, Mu Ruqing gathered her strength for a while and used Qing Gong to escape. Confusion was left in her heart: Why is mother related to that Sect Leader? Or was it another Sect Leader? What did my mother hide from me? Maybe it was just someone pretending to be my mother...

Mu Ruqing could not believe what she heard just now and did not go to the kitchen. When she returned to the main hall, Mrs Miao was already there. Calming her emotions, she smiled and walked in. There was not a trace of abnormality.
