C126 (1/2)
The day before the ambush.
Mu Yanran sat on the warm brick bed and glanced at the warm bar beside her. Her delicate hands were extended to the top, and a pot of tea was being boiled. She poured out a cup and looked at the yellow tea soup before lowering her eyes.
She didn't say anything. She only took a sip. The tea soup was turbid and bitter. Since when had she tasted such coarse tea? Naturally, she would not swallow it.
It was not easy to have a hot bed in a felt room.
At this moment, Mu Yanran was not the only one in the room. There was someone else in the room.
Mu Yanran raised her eyes to look at this person.
He wore the accessories worn by the imperial servants of the Northern Kingdom. It was obvious that he held a high status within the imperial palace of the Northern Kingdom.
He turned his head to look at Mu Yanran. The Great Qin Empire's women were indeed more delicate and exquisite than the Northern countries' women that grew up in rain, rain, and snow. Their skin was white and smooth, and their charm was innate.
He raised his eyebrows and turned his eyes. They were all filled with elegance.
Even the frown was very pretty.
”Seventh Prince.” Mu Yanran's smile contained a hint of shyness as she looked at the person in front of her with a hint of charm.
He kept his gaze on her. Men!
Even Kunlun Academy's Elder Huo couldn't escape her grasp, much less someone who had lived in such a desolate place for a long time, like the Northern Kingdom. Even if he was as noble as a prince.
”Why, aren't you used to drinking this tea? This is my Northern Kingdom's best tea. I specially got someone to dig three feet out of the ground to take out the brewed, snow-white tea. ” This was what he thought was the best, but in Mu Yanran's eyes …
She looked at the pot carefully, then at the green tea that had been boiled to a ripe state.
In his heart, he felt that this was a complete waste of the treasure.
How could this be how the tea was brewed?
He even used the deep snow water to melt it and cook it. It was indeed an elegant but inappropriate dish.
She laughed. ”The tea is good, the water is good.” ”It's just that the method is wrong.” She then got off the brick bed and attached herself to the stove. She poured the tea from the pot into the pot and washed it clean. Then, she boiled the water and brewed some tea. After she passed by, the aroma of the tea immediately filled the room.
A strange light appeared in the seventh prince's eyes. ”This tea can actually be like this.” ”The way I drank it in the past is truly a waste.” This woman truly had a Seven Apertures Mystical Heart.
The scene of her washing her hands and making tea was more like watching a beautiful painting that came out of the bath. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
Mu Yanran poured out a rainbow from the pot and poured it straight into the cup. She held the cup with both hands in front of the seventh prince and said, ”Please.”
Seventh Prince reached out his hand and took the cup. His fingers seemingly unintentionally touched the skin on her hand, and there was a trace of a coquettish smile on his face.
At Mu Yanran's side, a coquettish smile appeared. He watched as Tang Wulin drank the tea.
How could he sense the true taste in his mouth when there was color in his eyes?
He could only feel the entire room filled with fragrance, but he did not know which of the two was more fragrant.
The Seventh Prince stared fixedly at Mu Yanran, and Mu Yanran also stared back with a smile.
She really did not expect that she was originally following Mu Wan in secret, and had even smoothly guided Ye Wen in the opposite direction.
And then she followed him.
She definitely didn't want to protect Mu Wan, but wanted to see if there was a good opportunity to remove Mu Wan and let her restore the Mu family's prestige.
However, she did not expect that Huyan would take Mu Yunji and take another dangerous route.
Along the way, they encountered a huge blizzard.
Mu Wan and his group were well-equipped, but it was still alright.
As for Mu Yanran, she was on her way alone. When she came across the snowstorm, she got lost. She was cold and hungry, so she fainted on the snowy road.
She was saved by the Seventh Prince who passed by here, and was then rescued back to her tent. At this moment, she had just woken up, and after hearing his identity, she already had a plan in her heart.
If an ordinary woman was accidentally saved, she would only be able to wake up and let him leave on his own.
However, because Mu Yanran had a pretty face, she was favored by the Seventh Prince.
Not only did he see her bring him to his own yurt, but he also saw her being waited upon.
Prince Xilongmeng asked her what her name was. ”How did she faint in this world of ice and snow?”
She could tell at a glance that she was a southern girl from the Great Qin Empire. What was a weak girl like her doing in the Northern Kingdom? Although the Seventh Prince favored her beauty, he was no mediocre person.
My father originally wanted to go with my family to the northern borders to do some business and earn a living. However, he did not expect to encounter a blizzard halfway through, because we are from the south. The blizzard in the north is truly severe, and my family members died because of it, leaving me behind.
She wouldn't tell others her true identity, so she faked a fake name and background. After all, there weren't many people who knew that Mu Yanran had come with him to the Northern Kingdom.
When she spoke of her sadness, she even squeezed out a few drops of sparkling tears.
”I don't know where to go, but I fainted on the way. It's a good thing that Seventh Prince saved me, otherwise …”
She looked so pitiful that it was as if raindrops were falling on her face. Seeing this, Yuerongmeng's heart moved, and he took the chance to hug Mu Wanyun and comforted her in a soft voice.
