C44 You Can be at Ease If You're Here
Mu Ruqing was about to go back to her room to sleep when Yu Longchen came over with a box of osmanthus cakes with his back facing her. Although she did not see it, she could still smell the taste of osmanthus cakes.
"Qing, you will like my disguise." Yu Longchen's tone was like a child's. As he spoke, he turned around.
Mu Ruqing borrowed the moonlight to see that he was wearing a pig mask. She could not help but laugh out loud. A dignified prince, such a handsome person, was actually willing to wear such an ugly mask.
Mu Ruqing's heart ached. Shunyi's words had finally opened her heart towards Yu Longchen. Although they looked similar, they felt completely different...
"Qing?" Yu Longchen had just seen her smile. That was the first time she had truly smiled at him after he woke up. Why did she reveal a sad expression again?
Mu Ruqing took the osmanthus cake and looked up at him. People and things played in her mind like a slide. She felt bitter in her heart. She lowered her head and her tears fell. But she could not let Yu Longchen find out. She picked up the osmanthus cake and slowly ate it. The sweet fragrance of the osmanthus cake made her cry even harder. How long had it been since she cried? She didn't know, but she felt all the discomfort surge up. The more she ate, the more bitter it became. She couldn't swallow it no matter what.
It was already late at night, and Yu Longchen didn't notice anything unusual about Mu Ruqing. He just watched her eat quietly by the side.
"I will bring it to you every day from now on, alright?" Yu Longchen squatted down and wanted to see how cute she looked when she ate. However, he saw the reflection of the moonlight on her chin, and the crystal clear color of her tears.
Yu Longchen panicked. "Qing, why are you crying?" His extended hand stopped in front of her. She seemed to be even more unwilling to accept it now.
Mu Ruqing did not say a word. Her tears fell on Yu Longchen's robe. Yu Longchen wanted to hug her and comfort her, but he could not. His hand stopped in midair. He thought she was sad because of him and lost her mind. He said comfortingly, "Qing, it's late at night. Go back quickly." Just as he finished speaking, Mu Ruqing pulled his hand.
Yu Longchen's heart shook. He was very happy but also worried. He hurriedly turned around to look at Mu Ruqing. She cried so hard that it rained. He could not care about that anymore. He hugged her tightly and smelled a familiar scent. Yu Longchen hated himself when he felt her body temperature. He didn't manage to protect her.
Mu Ruqing gently pushed him away and slowly took off his mask. He was so handsome, but because of me...
Mu Ruqing's hand slowly touched Yu Longchen's face as the mask fell. Yu Longchen looked at Mu Ruqing in a daze. It had been a long time since she had such deep feelings for him. He could not remember. He only wished that this moment would stop forever.
Mu Ruqing's tears were still falling. Yu Longchen carefully raised his hand to wipe her face. His eyes were filled with love. Mu Ruqing looked at his thin lips and took a step forward to kiss him. Yu Longchen was shocked and wanted to keep this moment forever. His hand slowly hugged her...
After a while, Mu Ruqing broke free from him and said with a choking voice, "Wait for me here."
"Okay." Yu Longchen was naturally happy in his heart. Everything that happened tonight indicated that Mu Ruqing had already started to accept him.
A moment later, Mu Ruqing brought a few bottles of wine and passed them to him. She said straightforwardly, "You can't leave until you finish drinking these tonight."
"Qing, you..." Yu Longchen wanted to say something, but Mu Ruqing reached out and blocked his thin lips. She said lightly, "It is sweet here." Then she pointed at her own chest, "But this place is bitter."
Yu Longchen felt that tonight, his mood was faster than flipping a book. He was happy for a while, sad for a while, and did not know what to do. He did not stop her.
"In the future, when you come, don't wear a mask." Mu Ruqing drank a mouthful and wiped the corners of her mouth. She grinned and said, In the future, when you come, don't wear a mask.
The corner of Yu Longchen's mouth curled up.
After two hours, Mu Ruqing drank until she was muddle-headed. Words that were unclear came out of her mouth, and there were tears at the corners of her eyes.
Yu Longchen's heart ached so much that he could not catch his breath. The more he cared, the more pain he felt. Regardless of Mu Ruqing's struggle, he carried her and walked into the room with light steps. He took off her shoes and covered her with a blanket. Suddenly, he remembered the night when Faang Zijun returned to the manor for his wedding. He tidied her hair that was covering her face and pampered her with his eyes. I will give you all the love of this life.
Yu Longchen saw Mu Ruqing's infatuation and did not realize that the corner of his shirt was tightly pulled. He said softly apologetically, "These few days I have been busy with the matters of Long Zhao Yi and the Rites Department. Would you blame me for not coming to see you for so long? Compared to thinking about you, I am more afraid that you will feel sad when you see me... As long as you are safe and sound, for me, it is the happiest thing in the world."
Yu Longchen looked at her dotingly for a while. He got up and wanted to leave, but he found Mu Ruqing pulling him. He only heard Mu Ruqing's soft voice, "Your Royal Highness, don't leave. I will feel at ease if you are here. Sleep with me."
Yu Longchen's heart was as soft as clouds. The corner of his mouth curled up. It turned out that once you were drunk, you would let me sleep with you. This was a good opportunity to sleep with you!
When Yu Longchen got on the bed, Mu Ruqing stuck close to him like a kitten, breathing softly. Yu Longchen looked at her and could not help but fall on her forehead. A kiss!
Mu Ruqing woke up at noon the next day. Her head hurt and she rubbed her head. She could not remember how much alcohol she drank last night and what happened. She only vaguely remembered that Yu Longchen came...

"Miss, do you want to bring something?" servant girl, who was clearly calling Mingdie, looked cute and had a pair of big watery eyes.
"No need. Did Fourth Sister bring anything good?" Lau Fenglan sneered. This Mingdie was picked out by the old lady from servant girl who was brought over by Mother Liu. Mrs Miao and Mistress Ling naturally could not interfere. She was also smart and was trustworthy.
"Where is servant girl who followed Third Elder Sister yesterday?" Lau Fenglan looked at herself in the bronze mirror and felt satisfied.
"She was transferred to her by First Lady." Mingdie carefully put a hairpin on her head.
"Let's go." Lau Fenglan finally pressed her red lips and pursed her lips.
"Yes." Mingdie followed her out the door.
The master and servant arrived at Mu Ruqing's courtyard. When they saw that there were so many things sent over, they hurriedly walked in.
Mu Ruqing sat in the hall drinking tea and Lau Fenglan smiled as she greeted, "Older sister, what good things did you get again?"
"Younger sister, quickly come and sit." Mu Ruqing's eyes seemed to have worry and uneasiness as she pointed to the few boxes on the ground, "For some reason, Eldest Prince actually sent people to deliver these things."
Lau Fenglan's smile froze. She had known Eldest Prince for more than half a year and their relationship was even more intimate. Eldest Prince also did not give her a few things, but today... the jealousy and hatred in her heart deepened a bit.
"Sister, why don't you accept it and then send back a few gifts. That would be the best."
"Younger sister is right." Mu Ruqing smiled faintly and turned to Lingyue and said. " I will leave it to you. When you tip money, you must not miss it. After all, we're Eldest Prince's men. Otherwise, you should say we're petty. "
"Yes." Lingyue answered.
Lau Fenglan smiled sweetly and was secretly angry. Mu Ruqing was saying that she was petty? Putting down the teacup, she said in embarrassment, "Big sister should be busy first. Fenglan remembered that her grandmother still has matters to attend to and will take her leave first."
"Take care, little sister." Mu Ruqing naturally did not want to stay. Actually, Yu Longzi only brought a pair of double embroidered beauty fans. The rest were all the designs that were first made in the store. They were sent in to let Mu Ruqing take a look. He only said this to anger Lau Fenglan. Her heart was high. Naturally, she wanted to discourage her.
