C528 The Situation of Phoenix-Seep (1/2)

The Fifth Prince was surprised to see Mu Ru Yue remain so calm, but she quickly relaxed and said, ”About this, inviting guests naturally means we have to go to my manor. I think Seventh Sister-in-Law, you have always been a noble woman, so you won't care about this, right?”

The Fifth Prince's smile was a bit strange. As he looked at Mu Ru Yue, a trace of playfulness flashed past his eyes.

”As long as Your Highness doesn't care, I naturally won't.” Mu Ru Yue's attitude was calm. With the Fifth Prince here, she wanted to see if there were any worries. Thus, she gave up. She could only temporarily fool the Fifth Prince.

As she thought about this, Mu Ru Yue descended from the Mu Yun Tower with the Fifth Prince and Nangong Zi Yuan, who had come with him.

After exiting the Mu Yun Tower, the three of them got into the Fifth Prince's carriage.

The carriage of the royal family was similar in appearance, but the inside was completely in accordance with one's style. If Feng Qing liked to be concise, then the Fifth Marquis would pay attention to beauty.

Like him, it looked flashy.

”Seventh Sister-in-law rarely comes to the Mu Yun Tower, but she leaves without doing anything due to this king's invitation. Are you angry?” After getting on the carriage, the Fifth Prince looked at Mu Ru Yue and asked thoughtfully.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she raised her brows and looked at the Fifth Prince. With a slightly cold gaze, she asked, ”What if I say yes?”

”Then this king naturally should apologize to Seventh Sister-in-law for his sudden actions.” The Fifth Prince laughed.

”There's no need to apologize. I just hope that you won't waste my time in the future.” Mu Ru Yue asked coldly. She didn't want to deal with him at all. Out of all the people in the royal family, this Fifth Marquis was the one that no one could see through.

The Fifth Prince naturally knew that Mu Ru Yue was prepared for him, so he didn't continue to offend her and just stayed in the carriage without saying anything. The journey was rather harmonious.

However, Nangong Zi Yuan, who sat beside the Fifth Prince, kept his gaze on Mu Ru Yue. If he was a man, Mu Ru Yue would suspect that he had fallen in love with her.

Nangong Zi Yuan's gaze chilled her to the bone. Mu Ru Yue then asked, ”Miss Nangong, why are you staring at me like this?”

Mu Ru Yue's words made the Fifth Prince look at Nangong Zi Yuan.

When Nangong Zi Yuan heard that, she pursed her lips and looked at Mu Ru Yue wordlessly. This attitude was even more baffling. Mu Ru Yue frowned. When the Fifth Prince saw this, he smiled. ”I'm sorry, but the Violet Garden's mood hasn't been very good recently.”

”Not in a good mood?” The corner of Mu Ru Yue's mouth twitched. She just stared at her and didn't say anything. She was in a bad mood? Wasn't this a joke? Mu Ru Yue was completely speechless, but she couldn't do anything since Nangong Zi Yuan didn't say anything. He could only turn his head away.

When Murong Yue turned her head away, Nangong Zi Yuan withdrew her gaze. She still felt that it was laughable. At the moment she was bestowed the marriage to the Fifth Prince, she still felt like she was in a dream. From a young age... Everyone was telling her that she was going to be the crown prince's consort in the future.

In order to achieve this goal, she had to learn the skills of a woman and become even more outstanding than the royal princesses. If it weren't for the fact that Nalan Ruo of the Nalan family had overpowered her, her name would have already spread throughout the capital.

However, she believed that she wouldn't lose to Nalan Ruochen. What she lost was only her identity.

Not long ago, the empress had told her that she was the empress's most favoured candidate for the crown prince's consort, and that she would even help her plan. But the result?

Not only had she not been selected, she had fallen to the point that she had no choice but to marry the Fifth Prince. The main culprit behind all of this was the two sisters from the Mu Rong family. She had already inquired about it. His Highness the Crown Prince liked Seventh Princess, but she was already married, so he chose her sister.

If it wasn't for this matter, why would the crown prince choose that trash, Murong Xi?

When she thought of this, Nangong Zi Yuan felt a great deal of anger.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the carriage was very awkward. Mu Ru Yue's gaze landed on outside the window while Nangong Zi Yuan lowered her head in thought. The Fifth Prince closed his eyes to rest. His hand gripped his fan tightly, as though he was suppressing something.
