C71 Lack of Women

The news of the Lee house is out. Lee Yuening's reputation had been tarnished. No one knew where she had spread the rumors that she had seduced Yu Longchen, which was why she had framed Yu Longchen. Now, she didn't even dare to step out of the Li Residence. She had been courting death several times...

Yu Longzi's henchmen had taken part in one of Yu Longchen's books. They said that as a prince, he had done such a thing in an outsider's residence. It was an insult to the face of the royal family, and that he was going to file a memorial to punish his official position.

In the Imperial Reading Room, the Emperor kept a straight face and did not speak. His fingers were white and his fingertips were on the teacup.

"Royal Father." Yu Longchen knelt in front of the table and called out confidently. Although he lowered his head, he did not admit his mistake.

"What do you want to do now? Why don't you investigate?" The Emperor was furious. He pointed at Yu Longchen and asked.

"Royal Father will grant you a marriage." Yu Longchen slightly raised his head, and there was a bit of determination in his eyes.

"You!" The Emperor was disappointed, "Cough cough." After saying a word, he started coughing. The father-in-law beside him quickly served him. Yu Longchen was a little worried, but he did not show it. He continued to look straight at him.

"Forget it!" The Emperor had a headache again. He held his temple and placed the other one on the chair. "Pass on my order. King Chu's actions are improper and insulting his status. He was punished to think for three months in the residence. The second young lady of the Li Residence was dignified and elegant. She was extremely smart and devoted to King Chu. She specially bestowed King Chu with the title of a concubine."

"Yes." The eunuch lowered his head to receive the decree, and Yu Longchen kowtowed to express his gratitude. The Emperor sighed and said helplessly, "Enough, withdraw."

"Your son will retire." Yu Longchen replied and left the Imperial Palace with a cold expression.

Yu Longzi appeared at the corner and looked at Yu Longchen's back. There was a hint of pride on his face.

The Prime Minister's Estate. Mu Ruqing had not seen Yu Longchen for a few days. No one knew what she was thinking. She did not even know when the book fell.

"Miss." Lingyue picked up the book and poured tea for her. "King Chu was grounded for three months and Second Miss Li was also conscripted as a concubine."

"Oh, very good." Mu Ruqing returned to her senses and did not feel sad at all.

"Miss. I know you are sad. Why don't you say it clearly?" Lingyue naturally hoped that the two of them would be together. Her tone was somewhat anxious.

"Am I sad? Where did you see that?" Mu Ruqing picked up the book and flipped through a few pages. She said indifferently.

"Miss, Daoist Priest Yuan is back. There is a woman beside him." Xiangyi ran in from the door. Her smiling face collapsed when she mentioned that there was a woman.

"Let's go and take a look." This was Mu Ruqing's first smile in the past few days.

Yuan Zhen and Miao Yingyu waited at the door of the Prime Minister's residence. Mu Ruqing came out and held Miao Yingyu's hand, "Miss Miao, how are you?"

"Yes." Miao Yingyu nodded happily and her hand also tightened a little. This was her first true friend after she left the house.

"Look, we are back, aren't we?" Yuan Zhen laughed on the side.

"Yes, yes, yes, Master Yuan is the best." Miao Yingyu made fun of him.

Seeing the laughing people, Xiangyi could not help but get angry. She tugged at her skirt and said to Lingyue in a rush, "I will go back first. Miss is asking. Just say that I am not feeling well!"

"Huh?" Lingyue naturally did not know what she was angry about and called out to her back. She ignored it and Lingyue also did not care about her and followed them to the restaurant.

Yuan Zhen rode on his horse beside the carriage and did not come to the capital for a long time. It was still as bustling as before. In front of him on the right was a line of many women. They were beautiful and ugly, tall and short, fat and thin... There were no less than a hundred people.

Yuan Zhen rubbed his chin. Interesting... He got off his horse and walked over.

One. His old mother greeted him from the side and instructed him in the order. There was an artist who was painting for everyone. Yuan Zhen walked up and stuffed a bag of silver into the old mother's hands. "Aunt, what are you doing?"

The old mother was naturally happy. She smiled like a dough and her facial features were kneaded together. "You're from another country, right? King Chu's Mansion recruited servant girl. Anyone who wanted to go could come here. Let the painter draw a painting and send it to the prince's residence. As long as the prince takes a fancy to it. Yes."

"What?" Yuan Zhen's eyes widened. This Yu Longchen. He rolled his eyes. "Then do you know why he wanted to recruit servant girl?"

"What else could it be? His Royal Highness is going to marry a concubine. He can recruit a few servant girl to serve the concubine. He can also fill in a room..." The old mother covered her big red lips, as if she understood what he meant.

"Thank you, aunty." Yuan Zhen thanked her and clenched his fists. What a good Yu Longchen. I have only been away for a short period of time, and I have already done such a thing!

Along the way, he kept quiet and did not vent his anger. The two people in the carriage were wondering why there was so much talk going on. Why was it so quiet?

The group of people arrived at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. This was the best restaurant in the capital, where riches and honor gathered.

At the dining table, Yuan Zhen didn't say anything. He was just angry. He drank a few glasses of wine in a muffled voice.

"What happened to Head Dao Yuan? But he was bullied by a child again?" Miao Yingyu teased him and snatched his wine glass.

"He is going to marry a concubine! Is it you? "Yuan Zhen clenched his fists and spoke anxiously. A few drops of wine sprayed out.

Mu Ruqing shook her head and scolded with a smile, "Why is he so old and not formal yet? How do you want us to eat? "

"Then why did he..." As he was about to stand up, Miao Yingyu held him down.

"Master King Chu should have gotten married already. Furthermore, Second Miss Li has been in love with him for many years. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, I will definitely serve him well." The person Mu Ruqing spoke of seemed to have nothing to do with him. It was just that his smile was gone.

"How can I?! You..." The more Yuan Zhen spoke, the angrier he became. His eyebrows were even standing on end.

" Alright, why are you still angry? Could it be that you are also in love with the prince?" Mu Ruqing looked at his appearance and pursed her lips into a smile.

"I did not expect you to be like this?" Miao Yingyu also added from the side and laughed heartily a few times.

"Dog bites Lü Dongbin!" Yuan Zhen was extremely angry. He sat heavily on the stool and put his hands on his legs. He turned his head and did not look at the two of them.

"Okay, Lü Dongbin, eat your food. You're the only one with a lot of things to do." Miao Yingyu pushed the food in front of him.

"What happened when I was not around?" Yuan Zhen stared at Mu Ruqing.

"Nothing. It's just that the prince is getting married." Mu Ruqing pinched her chopsticks and wanted to eat. Then she remembered the wine Yuan Zhen spat out just now and put it down again.

"Why don't you care?" Yuan Zhen looked at her every movement and expression. His heart felt like he could not say what he wanted to say. He got up angrily and slammed the door.

Miao Yingyu wanted to stop him but was stopped by Mu Ruqing, "Let him go."

"But, what should we do if we cause a ruckus? Offending the Royal Highness is a great crime of disrespect." Miao Yingyu was worried about him and wanted to chase after him.

" Don't worry. Master King Chu has been imprisoned for three months. He can't enter. "

"What?"

"I thought this news had spread outside. "

"What exactly happened? When I first saw you, you were so... how did you become like this?"

"Sometimes, what I see may not be true. I am different from you." Mu Ruqing drank a cup of wine and whispered a few words with her brows lowered.

Miao Yingyu immediately thought of her sadness and quietened down. Without realizing it, her eyes turned red and she drank with her head lowered.

"Reuniting was originally a happy thing, why are you still crying?" Mu Ruqing patted her back and comforted her.

"It's fine. It's just that I suddenly thought of something and felt it." Miao Yingyu wanted to laugh but the corner of her mouth could not be lifted.

"Since you are here, I naturally have to be the host. Before you go out, why don't you come to the Prime Minister's Estate? It's also good to have a place to stay. My sisters have already gotten married, and now there isn't even a single person who can talk to me. You're not allowed to refuse me."

"Then I'll gladly accept your offer." Miao Yingyu did not decline and accepted it calmly.

"Okay, cheers." Mu Ruqing poured her a glass and smiled happily.
