C68 Infatuation
After that day, Yu Longchen came to find her three nights in a row. Mu Ruqing always shut her door and did not see him.
Mu Ruqing thought about all kinds of things and was not in a good mood. She drank in the room. As the saying goes, "Borrowing wine to calm your worries is even more worrying." It must be so. Some things, the more you want to forget, the deeper you engrave them. Even though he had experienced those things, he still didn't know whether that person was him or not, even if he pretended not to care. Didn't his name already be engraved in his heart? That face was forever imprinted in his mind? Since that's the case, why do you want me to experience these things? Isn't a simple relationship good?
"Qing?" Yu Longchen had not seen her for many days and was naturally worried. Now that he saw her like this, he gently asked, "What's wrong?"
"Using my feelings, I became loyal to His Royal Highness?" Mu Ruqing heard his voice and did not open her eyes. The wine pot in her hand fell to the ground, making a clear sound.
Yu Longchen was stunned. How did Mu Ruqing know this? She was just putting on a show for the Empress and Empress Dowager to see. Looks like Yu Longzi played a trick on her!
"Qing, that was a show." Yu Longchen sat down and looked at Mu Ruqing's slightly red face as he explained.
"I know. This is also quite good. His Royal Highness is using me. I am using him." Mu Ruqing opened her eyes and held her head. She looked at Yu Longchen with an ugly smile.
"You are drunk." Yu Longchen frowned and pulled her up. Mu Ruqing pulled on his clothes. She went up to smell him and a charming voice entered his ears, "Your Royal Highness, there are some things that I did not say... Just because I did not do it, does not mean that I have forgotten."
Yu Longchen knew that he had removed her wound again and allowed her to mess around. He reached out and protected her by the side.
Mu Ruqing played with her temper. "Your Royal Highness, I like you, but why did you put on that kind of show for me to see? Why do you have to have this face?"
She pulled Yu Longchen's clothes down. The clothes on Yu Longchen's right shoulder were ripped off a few inches. Mu Ruqing touched his scar and shook her head. She looked at him and saw that the two-edged arrow wound had turned into a triangular one.
Shunyi said to pay attention to the person with the three-edged mark on his right shoulder. Whether it was the birthmark or the scar left by the injury. Mu Ruqing let go of his hand and stared at him fiercely. Her eyes were dyed red with blood. Words She squeezed it out from between her teeth, "Why is there a triangular wound on your shoulder? ! Why?! "
Mu Ruqing suddenly went crazy. Without waiting for Yu Longchen to speak, she pushed him out of the door. She covered her ears and sat on the ground blankly. No matter what Yu Longchen said outside, she did not hear a single word.
After sitting like this for a night, the sky was slightly bright. Mu Ruqing got up from the ground. She rubbed her head. She had drunk too much yesterday, but there was one thing that she remembered. There was a triangular mark on Yu Longchen's right shoulder. The hatred in her heart was concentrated. Now it's my turn to use you...
Mu Ruqing's feelings towards Yu Longchen returned to the freezing point. When Yu Longchen looked for her, she either did not see him or did not speak. Every time he said a word, she would answer. She was like a robot, without any thoughts or emotions.
Yu Longzi's wedding, the entire Emperor City was filled with joy and celebration. Mu Ruxuan happily married out. Mu Ruqing added some blessings to her as she looked at the long wedding procession. She felt a little melancholy and sentimental. Her feelings towards Mu Ruxuan were real. The person who was chatting and laughing with her yesterday had now married out...
Yu Longzi was dressed in a wedding dress and was riding on the horse elegantly. It made him look tall and mighty. There was no happy expression on his face. There was a fake expression on his face.
The song of the suona had never stopped. The exterior of the palanquin was vermillion in color. On the top of the palanquin, there was a large embroidered ball flower that fell from the four corners of the red tent. It was covered with a red veil. This should be the palanquin in every girl's dreams, right? Two people in a row, roughly counting, there were actually more than thirty rows...
Once Mu Ruxuan left, the Prime Minister Manor became even more deserted. Now, the only people who could accompany Mu Ruqing were actually only Lingyue and Xiangyi. Mu Ruqing went to accompany the old lady every day to chat and joke.
Yuan Zhen did not come back and the person who poisoned the amulet could not be caught either. If it was not Mistress Ling, she definitely would not be stupid enough to drag all the suspicion onto her. Mrs Miao was even more impossible. Who else could it be?
Mu Ruqing did not tell anyone about the poison on the amulet and could not stop Mrs Miao from burning the amulet. She went to the temple to ask for another one and sent someone to send it over.
It seemed like she had to take action against those two servant girl - Liu'er and Nian-er... Mu Ruqing was in the midst of planning when she received an invitation. The next day, she wrote a letter and ordered the first daughter of the family, Li Yueman, to hold a banquet in the manor. It had been a long time since she went out for a walk, so she might as well go and take a look. To make friends.
The next day, after asking Mu Po and Mrs Miao for instructions, Mu Ruqing brought a small gift and went out.
Zhong Shuling's mansion was always smaller than the Prime Minister's mansion. The standard, decoration, and style were naturally not as good as the Prime Minister's mansion, but the style was rather new. The colors in the mansion were also elegant and fresh, and there were more bamboo in the yard.
Most of the people who came were the daughters of various officials. Mu Ruqing's identity was there, and there were many people who befriended her. However, why was Li Yueman's second sister looking at her like that... Hate?
"Miss, Miss Li's second sister. Rumor has it that she met His Highness once at the age of twelve. She swore that besides His Highness, no one else would marry, and now she's already eighteen. The marriage has yet to be decided. I heard that Lord Li wants to find a marriage for her. She cried, caused a ruckus, and hung herself up. She refused to comply. " Xiangyi had the most gossip. She did not know where she heard these things from.
So he was a infatuated person? Mu Ruqing paid more attention to her. She was not bad looking, but her temper was a little bad. Thinking about it, she did not look at her anymore. She was busy dealing with the surrounding girls.
Lee Yuening stared at Mu Ruqing from afar and her bright eyes revealed a mean look. She lightly snorted and whispered to servant girl beside her, "That is the Prime Minister Estate's Fourth Miss?"
"En, I think she is not even as good as the young miss." servant girl who was by her side narrowed her eyes and looked down on people as she supported Lee Yuening, "The young miss is talented and her appearance is also top class. But her identity is a little better..."
"Haha, you are speaking the truth. I have a pair of jade bracelets in my room. I will reward you later." Lee Yuening nodded her head and smiled proudly. She used her nose to look at the people at the banquet. Her expression was as arrogant as a rooster.
A proud look flashed across servant girl's small eyes. Although this second miss was born by her aunt, her aunt was doted on. The one who was favoured the most in the residence was her. As long as one tried to please her, no one knew how many good things they would get.
Lee Yuening sat on the upper seat. A servant outside suddenly came to report that Master King Chu was here. Everyone was surprised, and then their faces turned red. They had long heard that Master King Chu was extraordinarily handsome, but now they could actually see him! They were all young girls who had just had their first love affair, so they couldn't help but feel their hearts beating wildly.
Li Yueman was stunned for a long time. servant girl, who was beside her, touched her. She spilled a few drops of wine in her wine cup. She did not treat him, so why...
Lee Yuening was overjoyed when she heard that. She looked at the group of people who were infatuated. She got angry and looked at the crowd from the corner of her eye. As she walked, she mocked, "Some people should also stop thinking about themselves. They dare to think of anyone!" Her gaze lingered on Mu Ruqing for a long time. Then she ran over and wanted to pull Yu Longchen, who was passing by the door.
Yu Longchen was wearing a white, black, and flowing cloud shirt. His facial features were uncomfortable and he took a step back without leaving a trace. He was a little annoyed. "Miss, you are..."
"Brother Chen, how can you not remember me? I am Ning Er, your Ning Er!" Lee Yuening coyly said and acted like a spoiled child. She raised her hands and wanted to put her chest on Yu Longchen's arm.
Yu Longchen pulled his face down, his eyes filled with disgust as he turned around. He walked into the main hall. When the young ladies saw him, their faces were red and their hearts were beating fast. Even if they covered their faces, they could not stop the lust in their eyes. There were actually a few bottles of wine that spilled out, and they forgot to pay their respects. Only Mu Ruqing led the way and blessed her body. She said in a soft voice, "This subject greets the Royal Highness."
Only then did everyone return to their senses and hurriedly pay their respects. Yu Longchen looked at Mu Ruqing dotingly and gently said, "Rise. It was originally this king who disturbed your banquet. This king only came to find Lord Li for some matters, so I won't disturb you guys."
As the host, Li Yueman naturally had to return the greeting. "Your Highness is willing to step into this subject's banquet. It is this subject's honor. Your Highness, take care. " Yu Longchen nodded his head and gestured. Finally, he winked at Mu Ruqing. He flicked his robe and walked out elegantly. He did not know how many girls' hearts had been shattered.
"Brother Chen. Father is in the study. I'll take you there." Lee Yuening was waiting for him at the door. Once Yu Longchen came out, he stuck to her.
Yu Longchen waved his hand and smiled embarrassedly. "Miss, walk in front. I will follow you."
"Okay." Lee Yuening's voice became softer and softer. Her coaxing made people have goosebumps all over their bodies.
