C544 Murong Xis Jealousy (1/2)

The Third Marquis' expression turned even more unsightly. He originally wanted to use this matter to make everyone think that he would be able to obtain the treasures of the Gate of Heaven. At that time, Feng Qing would naturally be in a lot of trouble. Who would have thought that Feng Qing would actually mock him!

If you don't know the ancient texts, you aren't fit to be the crown prince?

He thought Feng Qing was a dog that didn't know how to bite people, but now it seemed that he was wrong. The Third Marquis coldly snorted in his heart and stood up. The chess pieces on the chessboard returned to their original state.

With Feng Qing's departure, the competition between the princes ended unhappily. Although the chessboard had returned to its original form, the matter of Feng Qing defeating the Third Marquis effortlessly had truly fallen into the hearts of the crowd.

These people couldn't help but sigh. Although the Crown Prince was a man who didn't care for the common people, he was indeed a man of great talent. Although the Third Marquis was not as talented as the Crown Prince, he paid more attention to commoners like them.

At the moment, they felt like they had been together for an entire month.

If there were no mishaps, perhaps these two people would be opponents that would fight for the throne? Mu Ru Yue also stepped back from the crowd. He thought in his heart. In the end, both of them would be Phoenix Seep's opponents.

He is the one who will block the dream of the phoenix seep.

”Did you just see it?” Just when Mu Ru Yue was thinking about how she should deal with such a person in the future, she heard a pleasant voice. Mu Ru Yue felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard it.

Turning around, he saw Feng Qing's gaze falling on him. The pair of phoenix eyes that made one unable to discern his emotions reflected his appearance.

Mu Ru Yue took a step back, causing the distance between them to become a safe distance. She then said, ”Your highness' chess skills are really outstanding. Even the Third Marquis couldn't defeat you.”

”Is this a compliment?” Feng Qing asked.

Mu Ru Yue replied with a smile, ”What Your Highness thinks it is, it is.”

”To this day, I haven't truly won against you.” Feng Qing said. Mu Ru Yue's mind flashed. When he saw Feng Qing playing against the Third Marquis, his heart was racing as he looked at the mess. It was because he wanted to be on the same level as Feng Qing. No one wants to be a draw. Especially her.

Just as Feng Qing thought, she was the same. But now was not the time, Murong Yue thought. She smiled at the man and said, ”If there really is such a chance, I hope that one day, I will be able to stand on the same level as Your Highness.”

There will always be that day.” Feng Qing said. Then he said to Mu Ru Yue, ”Do you want to go over and take a seat?” Mu Ru Yue looked at the direction Feng Qing pointed at and saw a pavilion. Previously, there hadn't been a pavilion in the Peach Blossom Forest. Could it be that Princess Wushuang came here to start a banquet?

Mu Ru Yue didn't reject him and entered the pavilion with Feng Qing.

There weren't many people in the pavilion, and they could clearly see what was happening ahead. This was a good place.

After sitting down, he heard Feng Qing say: ”Do you need me to deal with all the rumors and slanders in the capital?” Feng Qing's words caused Mu Ru Yue to be stunned. She initially thought that Feng Qing didn't care about that. Who would have thought that he would already know about it?

”If we do that, we'll probably be taken as guilty.” Mu Ru Yue said helplessly.

Feng Qing nodded. ”That makes sense.”

”Also... After having had such a scandal with me, the one who would be the most angry would probably be His Highness, right? ” Mu Ru Yue asked. Feng Qing shook her head: ”I don't care about that. As long as you and I are righteous, it's fine.”

If others were to hear what Feng Qing said, they would definitely shout out that he was lying. After all, who would dare to have anything to do with him?

”Your Highness appearing here is somewhat unexpected.” Mu Ru Yue said a little embarrassedly. She had to admit that because of the rumors, she was now facing Feng Qing with even more awkwardness than before!
