Chapter 155 I Can’t Sleep
After being disturbed by Princess Xinyue's actions, no one could stay any longer.
After Yu Wei was dragged away by Yu Hua, the group said goodbye to each other one after another. Since they all had more or less interactions with Beitang Yi, Zhan Jingsheng even apologized on behalf of Princess Xinyue.
He clasped his fists and lowered his eyes, and he caught a glimpse of the familiar green on Mu Lianzhi's wrist.
Watching the intimate backs of the two people walking further and further away, Zhan Jingsheng clenched his drooping fists for a long time without moving, until someone tugged at his sleeves:
"Brother Wang, have I caused you trouble again?"
Coming back to his senses, Zhan Jingsheng realized that the people around him had dispersed without him noticing, but he still couldn't take his eyes off her. He rubbed Princess Xinyue's head and smiled:
"It doesn't matter."
Thinking of something, he asked again:
"Xinyue, do you hate that Xin'er girl just now?"
Pursing her lips, as if thinking for a moment, Princess Xinyue shook her head:
"Not really, I just feel a little unhappy! Brother Wang, you know I never like this kind of weak and whiny girl. I really don't know why you men like this kind of girl. It's so annoying."
"Brother Wang, don't worry, I haven't forgotten my identity and I won't make things difficult for you just for a man."
"Although I don't hate Chi Yan, I don't really want to be too far away from home."
"Although this woman is a secretive person, she doesn't seem that weak. Anyway, she is better than the one who is trying to sow discord."
"The bad thing about Chiyan's people is that they have a lot of hidden agendas when they speak and do things. No wonder father sent my brother here. I don't think most people can handle this..."
Princess Xinyue muttered to herself, but the smile on Zhan Jingsheng's lips deepened:
"What about the second lady from last time? How do you feel about that?"
"Uh?"
After a while of obvious reaction, Princess Xinyue's eyes lit up, then she tilted her head and walked towards Zhan Jingsheng with a smile:
"Brother Wang, you're exposed, right? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. There's still someone who can make an exception for you, right?"
"new moon--"
"Okay, okay, I got it. Don't judge my brother by my own standards. Aside from the fact that she's a little weak and a widow who doesn't seem worthy of my brother, I don't dislike her. She's pretty, talented, and smart. She should be a popular type in Chiyan. She would definitely not be considered popular in Silla."
The voice suddenly turned lower, and Princess Xinyue looked at Zhan Jingsheng seriously again:
"My dear brother, you have always been the one that the people trust the most. In fact, I never thought that you would appreciate this type of person. Personally, I hope that you are happy. Publicly, I don't quite agree with it. If my father knew, he would be disappointed in you."
Silla is not as good as Chiyan. Its territory, population and resources are smaller, and everyone from top to bottom admires the strong.
Such a weak woman cannot win respect from them, and she probably cannot live well relying solely on a man's favor. It is hard to say whether she can survive. And if he marries such a woman, his prestige will be greatly reduced.
I always feel that Zhan Jingsheng seems to have some thoughts that he shouldn't have. Xinyue wants to persuade him not to be foolish and hurt each other, but before she opens her mouth, a big hand rubs the back of her head:
"Every word you said is spot on. Xinyue has really grown up."
Thinking that she was overthinking, Princess Xinyue smiled and said nothing more. At this moment, a vendor carrying candied haws happened to pass by. She turned around and ran after him.
……
On the other side, Mu Lianzhi squeezed out of the crowd for a distance and took off the silk flower on her head. She stroked it several times and finally secretly hid it in her sleeve.
Yingfeng Yingbei went to get the horse and found a corner away from people to stand. Seeing that Beitang Yi didn't say a word all the way, Mu Lianzhi rubbed his arm tentatively.
"what happened?"
"Is it troublesome to make such a big fuss?"
I guess after tonight, all the cats and dogs in the capital will know that he risked his life for the woman he loves.
Although the two had considered this possibility when they came out, they did not expect to run into so many acquaintances at once, all of whom were heavyweights. If she had known this, she would not have been so curious about that "making you laugh".
"Fool~"
Reaching out and pulling her into his arms, Beitang Yi leaned sideways to block the surrounding sight for her:
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided."
So he doesn't blame her?
Once again, she felt the strength and emotional stability of a man, as if she had taken a reassurance pill. Mu Lianzhi smiled:
"Well, we share weal and woe, and we never leave each other. I'm afraid our actions tonight will disrupt many people's plans. I guess many people will not be able to sleep. Will we be unable to return to the previous courtyard?"
If someone chased him to his house in the Linyuan of the Marquis' Mansion, there was no guarantee that their relationship would be discovered in the end, and then both of them would be in trouble.
"It's okay, let's go to the Colorful Building."
Beitang Yi hugged her comfortingly and said:
"You are you, so Xin'er will stay in the Colorful Building forever."
There is no secret that lasts forever. It seems that I have to find a way to marry her as soon as possible.
Hearing that he had thought of a solution so quickly, Mu Lianzhi suddenly felt relieved. She leaned over and glanced behind him:
"They should be back by now, right? Hey, there are fried cakes over there..."
She was just thinking about whether she should buy two, when suddenly, two figures flirting with each other in front of the stall, carrying similar mandarin duck lanterns and oil-paper bags, flashed by, and Mu Lianzhi's step was paused on the spot.
Isn’t that the prince?
Who is the woman next to him?
Although she had only met the prince a few times, Mu Lianzhi was deeply impressed by his appearance. To be fair, the adult princes of the royal family looked different but all were outstanding. The prince was gentle, calm and noble, with the broad-minded demeanor of a king, completely different from Beitang Yi, who was wantonly evil, fierce and intimidating.
In comparison, the prince gives people a more approachable feeling.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are a perfect match, with tender affection and love for each other, which is also a beautiful story.
Today is the Lantern Festival, one of the few important festivals in the year. I heard that on the first and fifteenth day of every month, the emperor would accompany the empress. How could the prince be with another woman?
Moreover, judging from their attire, it was obvious that they were deliberately keeping a low profile, and they didn't even bring any servants with them. The way the prince looked at the woman seemed to be full of love, and his smile was revealing, giving a sense of "she is making a fuss, he is laughing", as if he was doting and indulging her.
How could this happen if you don't love me?
But wasn't it the Crown Princess he had always dreamed of and snatched from Beitang Yi?
The relationship between the two has carried a lot of weight.
How is this going?
Just now she was wondering why the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion came out with the Crown Princess on the Lantern Festival. Could it be that the two of them were actually bound together by interests and were not in harmony with each other at all, and their affection was just for show to outsiders?
The Crown Princess's attitude towards Beitang Yi, and her sister who was almost crying because of Beitang Yi...
Mu Lianzhi’s brain is a little insufficient.
The hair on his body stood up when she looked at him suddenly. He turned around and followed her line of sight, but he saw nothing:
"What's wrong? Do you want to eat fried cakes?"
