C222 Selection of Crown Princess (1/2)
”About this, the secret.” Mu Ru Yue said with a smile. What a joke, if she were to say that Jiang Zilan's appointment with Princess Wuyou was for the sake of confessing to her, Jiang Zilan would come to her house and cry, make a fuss, and hang himself!
”Sister-in-law, I have already made up my mind. No matter what, I must make it clear to the young master. He has arranged to meet me after tonight's banquet. At that time, I will let him make his decision.” Princess Wuyou solemnly said.
What?
Mu Ru Yue felt as though her ears were hallucinating. Words?
”Are you saying that the person who asked you out is Qin Shijing?” Mu Ru Yue asked again with disbelief.
”That's right. Although I don't know the reason why Young Master Mirror asked to meet me, but …” However, it suits my intentions. Sister-in-law, if he agrees, I'm afraid you will still have to do all the hard work for me even if I have to leave the palace. ” Princess Wuyou looked bashful.
He even thought of the future. Although doing so was indeed very against the rules, but between distant marriage and elopement, she could only do this. As for the debt he owed his eldest sister, he would repay it in the next life.
”Calm down first.” Mu Ru Yue calmed Princess Wu You down with much difficulty before saying to her, ”We still don't know what happened after. People always hope the more they hope, the more disappointed they are. So, don't think too much about it for now.”
”Imperial Sister-in-Law, I know.” The smile on Princess Wuyou's face did not change, which made Mu Ru Yue suspicious. Did she really know that?
Suppressing the shock and confusion in her heart, Mu Ru Yue followed Princess Wuyou back to the Chao Yang palace. At this point in time, there were already very few people within the palace. Most of these people were women who had come to attend the banquet.
Now that the empress wasn't around, they naturally wouldn't stay to express themselves.
Within the palace, there was a harmonious atmosphere. However, under this harmonious atmosphere, there was anxiety. The Crown Prince's choice to be the Crown Prince's consort was related to the direction of the powerful figures in the capital. Currently, the Mu Rong, Nalan, and Qin family. As for who the three clans would choose from, that was what everyone present cared about the most!
Mu Ru Yue returned to Phoenix Seep's side and saw that the man's face was slightly flushed, as though he was drunk. Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but laugh as she asked, ”What's wrong?”
”Hmm? ”You're back?” Feng Li looked at Mu Ru Yue and smiled dumbly. The starlight that shone from his eyes lit up Mu Ru Yue's heart. Mu Ru Yue was struck by Feng Chen's smile.
He forced himself to ask, ”Are you drunk?”
”No, it's just …” I'm a bit tired waiting for you. ” As Feng Chen said that, she pulled Mu Ru Yue into her embrace. This public event made Mu Ru Yue's face turn red. She hurriedly pushed him away and asked, ”What are you doing? So many people! ”
”You smell like peach blossoms.” The sound of the phoenix seep was very soft.
Mu Ru Yue's heart skipped a beat as she thought, ”Don't tell me this fellow has a dog's nose?” So agile?
”The peach tree planted in the Crown Prince's Peach Blossom Dock is called Aroma. The fragrance is different from ordinary peach trees, but it is very similar to what you have on your body. You... You went to Peach Dock, didn't you? ” Feng Zi stared at Mu Ru Yue with watery eyes. The sight was enough to move one's heart.
However, his sense of smell was much better than a dog's. It made Mu Ru Yue's head grow bigger.
”There is a deep grudge between the Crown Prince and I. Thus, today, I have come to a decision.”
