Chapter Twenty: Not Enough

  Yun Qian Yue looked at Rong Jing with a mixture of shame and anger, as if she hadn't heard his words.

  "A beauty like a flower, waking up from a hangover, shy and cloudy, soft as a light gauze." Rong Jing stretched out his hand to hook up Yun Shang Yue's dark green silk, smiling lightly, with a gentle tone, like a gentle breeze or fine rain.

  Yun Qianyue felt that even her toes were red, and she stretched out her hand to open his, scolding: "You look like a humble gentleman, elegant and refined, but it turns out you're a cultured rascal who teases innocent women!"

  Rong Jing smiled slightly, his voice extremely pleasant to hear. Yun Shang Yue thought that men were born to be masters of flirting. Even Rong Jing, who looked aloof and cold as jade, had moments like this that left her wide-eyed. She really didn't know what to do to save her heart, which was being scorched by flames at the moment. Her face red, she glared at Rong Jing and suddenly stretched out her foot to kick him, shouting: "Hurry up and get out of the way, I'm going back to the manor!"

  "Return to the manor?" Yong Jing's smile faded.

  "It's time to return home!" Yun Shangyue thought that if she stayed here any longer, she would be cooked.

  "No need to return to the mansion, after lunch I'll send you out of the city." Yong Jing stood up.

  "No need for you to send me! I'll go myself." Yun Qiu Yue thought that according to her grandfather, she had always gone up Yunwu Mountain by herself every year, so this year would be no exception.

  "I'm not going to Cloudy Mountain with you, but I'm going out of the city to pick up the Seventh Prince and take you out of the city at the same time." Rong Jing stood in front of the bed, looking at Yun Shang Yue, mentioning the Seventh Prince's face was calm, without any unusual expression.

  "Huh?" Yun Qianyue was taken aback and asked in surprise: "Seventh Prince? Which Seventh Prince?"

  "The Seventh Prince of Beijiang." Rong Jing said in a warm voice.

  "Wasn't that the Seventh Prince who was implicated in his mother's crime and sent to the Northern Frontier, where he repeatedly achieved military merit? The old emperor even issued an edict for him to return to the capital, but he repeatedly declined?" Yun Shang Yue lowered her head in thought for a moment before suddenly recalling that she had read about the Seventh Prince's exploits in a volume of Tian Sheng's notes. She turned her head to ask.

  "Hmm!" Rong Jing nodded.

  "What does it have to do with you that I'm meeting the Seventh Prince? You go your way, and I'll go mine." Yun Shang Yue felt a familiar feeling in her heart when she mentioned the Seventh Prince. She thought to herself, could it be that the person who sent her the message was the Seventh Prince? Because the letter said "will return to the capital soon", and the Seventh Prince returned today, could it be him? Regardless of whether it was or not, she would find out sooner or later. She didn't care about what Cang Jing had to say, "Why should I go with you? No!"

  "Since the day you and I were ambushed, the four gates have been strictly checked, and everyone entering and leaving has to register. Very few people know that the Cloud King's wife was buried on Cloud Mist Mountain, most people think she was buried in the Cloud King's mausoleum in the palace. Your annual visits to Cloud Mist Mountain are also extremely secretive. Now if you leave the city openly, you will definitely be followed and disturbed. Although the ancestral teachings have been abolished, the attention on you won't decrease one bit. Are you sure you don't want to leave with me?"

  Yun Qian's eyebrows furrowed, but she immediately shook her head and said: "What's there to be afraid of? My martial arts skills have recovered! And they're even stronger than before. Jumping over the city walls is no problem!"

  "Has your martial arts skills recovered?" Rong Jing raised an eyebrow, a hint of something flashing in his eyes.

  "Nature!" Yun Shallow Moon nodded with satisfaction and said, "You don't know, do you? Yesterday I flew over your purple bamboo forest to get here!"

  "The city walls are heavily guarded, do you think you can fly out undetected? Or are you not in a hurry and plan to leave at night? If your lightness skill is exceptional, it's indeed difficult to be discovered." said Rong Jing.

  Yun Shang's face was triumphant as he dispersed into thin air, but then he glared at Rong Jing with annoyance, "You must be deliberately opposing me, aren't you?"

  "You're sitting in my car, leaving the city on your own. The Yunwu Mountain is so high, and I don't have any martial arts skills now, plus my arm is injured, even if I wanted to follow you, I couldn't. What should we do?" Rong Jing's voice suddenly softened, looking at Yun Shangyue with a consultative tone.

  Yun Shallow Moon thought, did she still have a choice? Reluctantly nodding her head, "Uh-huh!"

  "Sometimes I really think you're just like a kid!" Rong Jing let out a soft sigh and turned to walk out the door.

  Why not say he's like a child, taking pleasure in bullying her and making her eat bitterness? Yun Shangyue grumbled, got out of bed, bent down to put on his shoes. Only then did Rong Jing stand at the door and instruct, "Yao Lao, prepare lunch and bring it over!"

  Yun Shallow Moon's hand paused for a moment, and indeed, the sun was already in the middle of the sky, it was really not early anymore.

  "Yes, Crown Prince!" The voice of Yao Lao came from afar.

  "Qingyuan, prepare the carriage! In a little while, you will follow me out of the city to welcome the Seventh Prince!" Rong Jing instructed Qingyuan again.

  "Yes, Crown Prince!" Qingquan's voice sounded extremely delighted as he happily went off.

  "Qing Shan, go to Yun Wang Fu and bring back the things that Shallow Moon Miss wants to burn for the Queen. She will be leaving directly from Rong Wang Fu later, so there's no need to return to Yun Wang Fu." Added Gong Jing.

  "Yes!" Qing Shang responded.

  Yun Qian Yue didn't object, thinking that having someone take care of everything and not having to worry about it herself seemed pretty good.

  "Also, bring over the things Miss Shallow Moon used to wear. She will be staying at the Rong Wang Fu for a while." Gong Jing instructed.

  "Yes!" Qing Shang responded again.

  Yun Qian Yue was just thinking about the benefits of Rong Jing, when she suddenly heard this sentence. She abruptly lifted her head and shouted out loud, "Wait a minute!", then turned around to look at Rong Jing, "When did I say I wanted to stay in the Rong Wang Fu? I have a home, why would I live here?"

  Rong Jing waved his hand at Qing Shuang, and Qing Shuang immediately understood and walked away. He turned around to look at Yun Shang Yue, his eyes lingering on her face for a moment before focusing on her neck, saying softly, "Go take a look in the mirror and you'll understand."

  Yun Shallow Moon was looked at by Rong Jing, and her heart felt hairy. She walked to the mirror and stood still, looking at herself, and her face suddenly turned black. But even if she was as dark as coal, the reflection in the mirror was still rosy and beautiful, with bright red lips like a peach blossom in February. Her neck, as white as snow, was covered with fine, dense marks of rouge, which couldn't be hidden even by the high collar of her clothes.

  "Do you think you can still return to Yun Wang Fu looking like that?" Gong Jing arrived behind Yun Qian Yue.

  "Rong Jing, what do you want to do? Don't you want me to see people anymore?" Yun Qiu Yue turned around and glared at Rong Jing. Seeing that he was dressed neatly and had a warm and refined appearance, except for the subtle hint of spring in his eyebrows and eyes which was different from usual, she couldn't tell anything else was amiss. She said angrily: "Why don't you put these marks on your own body?"

  "I couldn't help myself!" Rong Jing lowered his head, looking at Yun Qian Yue's angry face, and said innocently: "I actually wanted to leave some marks on myself, but you slept too soundly, not moving at all. You didn't do anything to me, so I couldn't either. Unless you want to make up for it now, why don't you do something to me?"

  "Go ahead and have your own grand spring and autumn dream!" Yun Qianyue pushed him away, turned back to continue looking at the mirror, secretly angry. This appearance she really couldn't go out with. Once outside any fool could see what had been done to her.

  "So I said let you live in Rong Wang Fu. It just so happens that my arm is injured, and you should also help me take care of it. Your current arm injury has healed more than half, how can you not care about mine? My arm still can't exert force until now!" Rong Jing said in a low voice.

  "You can't even lift your arm? Don't be ridiculous! I see you're moving around just fine, and yet you still dare to hug me!" Yun Shangyue snorted coldly.

  "That was when I used one arm to hold you, and the injured arm didn't dare move." Rong Jing showed an innocent expression again.

  "Even if I lived with you, then show me how I went out today?" Yun Shang Yue pointed to her neck, she didn't understand why men all loved leaving marks on women's bodies. Moreover, when she was unconscious, what exactly...what exactly did he kiss? The uncontrolled emotions that made her whole body full of these marks couldn't be told to him. Those on her body could be covered up, but how could the ones on her neck be covered up?

  "Put on a veil!" Rong Jing suggested, speaking in a low voice: "Besides, you'll be leaving the mansion with me and sitting in the carriage, so you won't see anyone. Once we're outside the city, you can go to Yunwu Mountain. Yunwu Mountain is shrouded in mist, making it hard for people to see each other's faces. Ordinary people rarely visit Yunwu Mountain, and even if you do encounter someone, they won't be able to see your face clearly. How about that?"

  Yun Pian Yue thought that it could only be so! She nodded, somewhat depressed, and said: "The veil should be longer!"

  "That's natural!" Rong Jing smiled and nodded.

  "Don't ever dare treat me like this again!" Yun Qiu Yue emphasized once more. She felt that she had to put an end to this man's bad habits.

  "What can't I do to you? Are you saying I can't kiss you, hug you or leave a mark?" Rong Jing's voice suddenly dropped an octave as he wrapped his arms around Yun Shuoyue's waist, not waiting for her response, and continued, "I'm afraid that's impossible."

  "If you can't do it then get out of my way! I'm starving!" Yun Qiu Yue stretched out her hand to push him.

  Rong Jing saw Yao Lao had already brought things in and let go of his hand.

  Yao Lao saw Yun Shang Yue as soon as he entered the door, and his originally worried old face suddenly smiled into a slit. He greeted her, "Miss Shang Yue, you're awake! I didn't agree to it at first, but the young master insisted on giving you the Ling Dan to wake you up sooner..."

  Yun Qian Yue's face, which had returned to its normal color, flushed red again. She forced a smile at the laughing old man and said, "Thank you for the Revival Dan, Medicine Old!"

  "No need to thank me, no need to thank me. As long as Miss Shallow Moon and the Young Master are doing well, this old man is content!" Medicine Old put down the dishes and spoke more than usual: "This old man has followed the Young Master for over a decade, and every night he couldn't sleep well due to the cold toxin. This old man tried every means to create the Sleep Powder, which was effective at first, but later lost its effect as the cold energy on the Young Master's body grew stronger. Later, this old man created the Midnight Powder, which would make ordinary people sleep for seven or eight days, but when used on the Young Master, even with the warming jade bed, he could only sleep for half a night..."

  Yun Shallow Moon looked at Rong Jing, thinking of the time when she had exhausted her skills to detoxify him in the underground Buddhist hall of Lingtai Temple. The cold air accumulated in his heart pulse was like a mountain, how could it be endured by an ordinary person? Ten years of bitter cold, day and night without good sleep, this is what kind of unbearable weight, she originally had some annoyance suddenly dispersed.

  Rong Jing smiled at her and said in a low voice, "It's all over!"

  The clouds are shallow and the moon is silent.

  "If Qingquan hadn't been so mischievous and added half of the Ziye powder to the sleeping draught, Shallow Moon wouldn't have needed to use the Lingdan." Medicine Old said with a hint of seriousness, then turned around and walked out.

  "It turns out that this medicine was used by you yourself, and you deceived me into saying it was used by Old Medicine. Yun Qian glared at Rong Jing with a hint of reproach, suppressing the ache in her heart for him, and asked: "Are you still using it now?"

  "Got used to it, can't change it for the time being. If I said it was you using it, wouldn't you be heartbroken? How could I bear to let you be heartbroken for me!" Rong Jing shook his head, lying without drafting, anyway no one had exposed the fact that he had drugged her yesterday. He wasn't stingy with sweet words either. Smiling, he hugged Yun Shang Yue again, his voice extremely low and light as he whispered in her ear: "If you slept here every night, I wouldn't need this thing, having you here, I would sleep very soundly."

  "Is your mind at ease?" Yun Shangyue elbowed him lightly, but this time not too hard. Frowning, she asked: "Taking this stuff for a long time won't harm the body?"

  "Nature itself can be harmful; medicine is three parts poison." Yung Jing shook his head.

  "After that, don't use it again!" Yun Qianyue said.

  "Then you can live with me!" Rong Jing took advantage of the opportunity to make his request, and this was exactly what he had in mind.

  Yun Shallow Moon frowned, "A man and a woman who are not married, living together, what kind of talk is that? Do you want to spread rumors outside?"

  "This is handed over to me, there must be a reason, and no one will spread rumors. How?" Rong Jing asked. Seeing Yun Qian Yue not responding, he said in a low voice: "Actually, I really want to go to the Cloud King's mansion to offer betrothal gifts, but the Emperor will definitely not allow it..."

  "Who wants to marry you! Stop dreaming!" Yun Shangyue thought that this body was only fifteen, not yet past the birthday, and had not yet reached adulthood. It's too early to get married. She used to think about getting married because she was afraid that the old emperor would suddenly arrange a marriage for her, but now it's different from before. Of course, she can't get married so early.

  "Don't you want to marry Rong Feng?" Rong Jing's voice sank, his arms tightened around Yun Shangyue's body. "You asked the Emperor for a decree again yesterday! Are you really trying to humiliate me?"

  "Who told you to go and save Qin Yuxin? Can't I even say anything!" Yun Shangyue lowered her head.

  "It turned out to be vinegar!" Rong Jing suddenly realized and laughed lightly.

  Yun Qian hummed in agreement, taking it as a given. Given her and Rong Jing's current relationship, if she saw him going to great lengths to pick up Qin Yu without being jealous, wouldn't that be abnormal? The fact that she was jealous only proved that this person had truly caught her fancy. Perhaps now it was more than just liking, perhaps not yet to the point of deep love, but already made her feel quite heavy. To the extent that even seeing the numerous kiss marks on her body left by him didn't make her feel too annoyed.

  "Why don't you just live here? How about it?" asked Rong Jing again.

  "You can stay here, but you must promise not to do this to me again! At least, don't leave any marks that would prevent me from going out and seeing people." Yun Qianyue thought about his current injuries and the habit of relying on sleeping pills to fall asleep every day, which needed to be corrected. He reluctantly agreed: "If you can keep your promise, I'll let you stay for a while."

  "Good!" Rong Jing immediately responded, unable to conceal the joy in his eyes, and lightly pecked at Yun Shang Yue's lips.

  "Let's eat! Hurry up and wash, we can set off after eating!" Yun Shangyue saw Rong Jing's delighted expression and couldn't help but smile too. She stretched out her hand to push him away and went to wash her face.

  Rong Jing watched as Yun Qian Yue walked to the clear water basin, watching her slender wrist scoop up a handful of water, watching her apply the water to her face, with droplets falling from the tip of her fingers, sliding down the white gap between her fingers like dew, sparkling and translucent. Watching her finish washing her face, she naturally picked up his handkerchief to wipe her face, then sat in front of the mirror and called out to him, "Come over and comb my hair." His heart, which had been in turmoil because of that person's return to the capital, suddenly felt at peace.

  In this life, if there is still one thing he must guard with all his might, it's not the hundred-year foundation of Rong Wang Fu, but the person in front of him in this room. A person who has been hiding from her since they first met more than a decade ago, and even after losing his memory, he was still hiding from her, until she finally caught him.

  And she never hid from the night sky...

  Ye Tianyi was luckier than him by who knows how much...

  Isn't it time for him to be lucky once?

  "What's wrong with you? Come and braid my hair quickly!" Yun Shangyue urged Rong Jing, who was standing still.

  "Hmm!" Rong Jing took a step forward and walked to Yun Qianyue's back, scooped up her black hair, the soft black hair in his hands was like silk flowers, entwining and curling, gently combing, and soon became a cloud-like bun.

  Yun Shallow Moon sat quietly in front of the mirror, finally understanding why old friends would praise the act of dressing up and doing one's hair as a wonderful story. At this moment, sitting quietly, looking at the person behind her through the mirror, making movements that those hands shouldn't be making, anyone would become gentle like water. And this person was someone she liked.

  "Rong Jing, have I ever told you that I like you now?" Yun Qianyue suddenly said.

  Rong Jing's hand trembled, and the jade hairpin that was supposed to be inserted into her hair fell off, causing her beautiful coiffure to become disheveled.

  "Oh no, why didn't you hold onto the hairpin? Now we have to redo it!" Yun Qianyue complained.

  "You... just said what?" Rong Jing asked softly, his voice husky and seemingly still trembling slightly.

  "I'm calling you an idiot! Did you hear me?" Yun Shangyue glared at him from the mirror, urging: "Hurry up! Look at what time it is already! If we keep dragging our feet like this, when can we leave the city!"

  Rong Jing stopped asking questions and bent down to pick up the jade hairpin, then re-combed Yun Shang Yue's hair.

  Yun Shangyue looked at Rong Jing in the mirror, and after a while, she saw that he didn't have much of a reaction except for that one moment earlier. Suddenly dissatisfied, she asked, "I said I like you. Is this all the expression you can muster?"

  Rong Jing's hand paused, and this time the jade hairpin was inserted steadily into her hair. Seeing that her cloud-like hair was fixed in place, he then put on the jade step shake, and added two pearl flowers to her hair. After doing everything, he looked deeply at the person in the mirror and said softly, "Still not enough!"

  After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to wash himself.

  "Is it still not enough? What else should I do?" Yun Shangyue turned around and looked at Rong Jing. Was he saying that her liking was not enough?

  Rong Jing did not respond.

  Yun Shallow Moon no longer asks, looking at him thinking. Some people spend their whole lives searching, but it's hard to meet someone they like. Some people may have met the one they like, but maybe there won't be a result. Some people talk about love every day, yet they don't even know what love is. Some people...

  She doesn't think that there isn't something deeper than liking, called love, in this world. But she doesn't think she'll have it. Her soul has been very apathetic since childhood, without parents, and she never sought to find one, now with a grandfather, father, and brother, although she feels happy but also not without worries.

  She once liked a person and silently liked him for twenty years. Later that person left, and her days went on as usual.

  Nowadays, liking Rong Jing already feels heavy to her, almost unbearable. Perhaps it's a bit deeper than just liking, but only a bit deeper.

  "What if it's a bit deeper than like? Is it enough?" Yun Shallow Moon asked again.

  "Not enough!" Rong Jing's hand paused in wiping his face, shaking his head.

  Yun Shallow Moon smiled faintly and looked at Rong Jing, saying seriously: "What I can give you is just this. If you say you don't want it, then I can take it back. You can also...".

  Rong Jing's face changed slightly, and he suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring straight at Yun Shangyue.

  Yun Shallow Moon suddenly fell silent. She knew that such words would hurt people, but she really thought so in her heart. There were too many variables in the future, and she didn't dare to make promises to him. If he couldn't be satisfied with something more than liking, if he wanted to swallow her soul wholeheartedly and surrender to him, then she couldn't do it.

  It's not just that she can't do it now, but also in the future! She has a stubborn and persistent obsession!

  She knows better than anyone else what kind of person she is!

  "It's more than just liking, it's already the most. " Yun Qianyu lowered her head, her voice suddenly as light as a cloud, completely tearing off the disguise of her outer garment, and said in a low and clear voice: "In the past, my faith was paramount, and any emotions had to be suppressed under my faith. Now I'm already changing. Just like yesterday when you saved Qin Yuyin, I knew it was right for you to save her, but I couldn't help feeling jealous. This has already exceeded the limits I set for myself."

  She didn't say that the mission was her sole responsibility, knowing full well the danger, and according to that person's and her own feelings, there was no need for him to go. But she still let him go. If only she had said one word, she thought he would definitely listen and not go. But she didn't say anything. As a result, that person went and never came back...

  Later she drank tea for two people by herself...

  Days go by in the same way...

  Rong Jing looked at Yun Qian Yue, but didn't say a word. At this moment, Yun Qian Yue was extremely quiet, her whole body exuding an icy demeanor that seemed to emanate from within. He seemed to see restraint, strictness, coldness, rationality, and even ruthlessness in her. He could sense that she was sorrowful at the moment, but he couldn't see that sorrow with his eyes. If it weren't for him standing in front of her, anyone else would probably not have recognized her as Yun Qian Yue, the illiterate, uncouth, simple-minded, and unrefined daughter of the Yun Wang Fu, even if she wore the same clothes and had the same face.

  "What if I still want more?" Rong Jing stared at Yun Shang Yue's face, not missing the emotions on her face.

  Yun Shallow Moon was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Rong Jing.

  "Hmm? What if I want you to like me a bit more?" Yong Jing asked again.

  "There are two kinds, first, cut off; second, it depends on your skill." Yun Qian Yue said word by word.

  Rong Jing suddenly smiled and put down the handkerchief, walking over to gently rub Yún Shuǎng Yuè's head with her jade-like hands, softly saying: "Then I'll choose second, braid my hair for me!"

  Yun Qian sat still and said coldly: "You're really greedy!"

  Is he trying to dig out her heart and make her worship him with all her soul? What is it but greed?

  "Even if I'm being greedy! If you make that face again, people outside will think that the Young Lady Shallow Moon of the Yun Wang Fu has been switched with someone else! Jiang Jing stuffed the comb into Yun Shallow Moon's hand and said: "Good girl, come and comb my hair, aren't you in a hurry? The food is getting cold!"

  Yun Shallow Moon suddenly let out a cold breath, looking at the comb in her hand, stiffly saying: "I don't know how to braid hair!"

  "We will meet sooner or later, let's just consider it a lesson for today!" Rong Jing said.

  "Who combs your hair for you every day?" Yun Qianyue twirled a comb in her hand.

  "Every day is myself. Now that I'm injured, I can comb your hair for you, but I can't even lift the comb to do my own." said Rong Jingdao.

  Yun Shallow Moon could only pick up the comb and said with a smile, "Don't blame me if it's not combed well."

  "Hmm, no wonder!" Yong Jing nodded.

  Yun Qian Yue stood up, thinking of Rong Jing's daily hairstyle with a man's bun, and carefully combed it for him. Thinking that he was going out of the city to meet the Seventh Prince today, he naturally couldn't comb his hair too badly, so he was very serious and meticulous. Every detail of the hairband and jade pin was extremely careful, truly impeccable.

  Rong Jing sat in front of the mirror, looking at Yun Shangyue's serious face, with a slight smile on his lips. He was already surprised that she could say she liked him, and something deeper than liking was enough to satisfy him for now. He thought that if it weren't for the Seventh Prince returning to the capital, he would be delighted in his heart at this moment. But since the Seventh Prince had returned, with him around, something deeper than liking was not enough...

  After a long time, Yun Shangyue finished combing Rong Jing's hair and looked up to ask him, "How is it? I can only do this well! If you're not satisfied, I saw Qing Shuang come back, let her do it for you!"

  "It's already great!" Rong Jing smiled and stood up, gently kissing Yun Shangyue's lips and softly said: "From now on, practice every day, you'll get even better."

  "You're so beautiful!" Yun Shangyu broke into a smile, but being able to braid an ancient hairstyle perfectly on her first try and receiving praise for it still made her feel quite pleased.

  "The young master, shallow moon miss, the slave has taken all of Shallow Moon's clothes and daily necessities. The auspicious tokens embroidered by the empress and the auspicious tokens embroidered by Shallow Moon's maid have also been taken." Qing Shan stood outside the door, looking through the bead curtain to see Gong Jing kissing Yun Shallow Moon, she quickly lowered her head, blushing as she reported.

  "Bring it in!" Rong Jing laughed and ordered. He pulled Yun Qian Yue to sit at the table, softly saying: "Let's eat quickly, after we finish eating, we'll set off!"

  "Hmm!" Yun Shangyue nodded, feeling that her face had been trained by Rong Jing to become thicker and thicker.

  Qing Shang brought the things in and placed them on Rong Jing's bed, putting the two embroidered pouches on top. Just as he was about to retreat, he heard Rong Jing instruct, "Go fetch a piece of gauze."

  Yun Qianyue's face turned red, and Qing Shang first froze, then saw the hickey on Yun Qianyue's neck and suddenly understood, hastily responding with a sound, and walked down.

  "Drink this bowl of chicken soup!" Rong Jing handed a bowl of chicken soup in front of Yun Shangyue.

  "I don't need to add anything now! The water has been spilled!" Yun Shangyue glared at Rong Jing.

  "Hmm, I naturally know that your Qi is gone." Rong Jing smiled lightly and glanced at Yun Shang Yue's body, "Although your Qi is gone, but your body should also be replenished, it's almost nothing when hugged."

  Yun Qian's face turned black as she thought of the hickeys all over her body, and even her period was late, so what had he seen? Her face flushed with shame and anger, she scolded, "My body doesn't have much flesh, does your body have a lot of flesh?"

  "So I'll have a bowl too, let's drink together." Rong Jing brought another bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of himself.

  The clouds are shallow and the moon is speechless.

  The smile on Rong Jing's lips spread.

  The two of them didn't say much after that.

  After finishing dinner, Qing Shuang also brought over the veil, Rong Jing handed it to her and covered Yun Qian Yue's head with it. The veil was just the right size, covering Yun Qian Yue's face down to her neck. Through the veil, only a faint outline of her face could be seen, and naturally, the mark on her neck couldn't be seen at all. However, Yun Qian Yue could see things clearly through the veil, she took a glance in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad!"

  Rong Jing smiled lightly, "If it were possible to exchange this veil for a red hood at any time, that would be even better!"

  Yun Qian Yue said with a bad temper: "Wouldn't it be even better if you changed your white moon- patterned brocade robe to a big red wedding dress?"

  "Hmm!" Rong Jing smiled and nodded.

  Yun Shallow Moon glared at him and turned to take the prayer flags embroidered by the Empress and Cai Lian, walking towards the door.

  Rong Jing followed closely behind Yun Shangyue.

  Two people had just left the door, Qingquan hugged the pigeon and ran to Rongjing's face, "Young master, it's Xiang Gege's flying pigeon message!"

  "Open and see!" Rong Jing stopped in his tracks.

  Yun Shallow Moon also stopped in her tracks, seeing that the pigeon in Qingquan's hand was smaller than ordinary pigeons, with a pure white body. When she looked at it, the pigeon stared back at her very vigilantly. She thought to herself that ancient people used carrier pigeons to send messages, which wasn't much slower than modern communication methods. Otherwise, why would trivial matters in the capital spread like wildfire within half a day? It was probably thanks to these carrier pigeons.

  Qingyuan responded with a sound, immediately taking down the letter tied to the pigeon's leg and opening it. Yun Shangyue only saw a blank piece of paper, but heard Qingyuan say: "Xian Ge said he has already welcomed the Seventh Prince at a hundred miles away, but the Seventh Prince said that today he will not return to the capital, he wants to visit an old friend, and asks the Crown Prince not to welcome him."

  Yun Qian Yue thought that Rong Jing probably used a special notation to convey the message, so if someone shot down the pigeon and saw it was blank, they wouldn't reveal any secrets. She tilted her head at Rong Jing, "So you don't have to leave the city? Then I'll go myself!"

  "Can the imperial edict be disobeyed? Then I'll go 100 miles to meet the Seventh Prince!" Rong Jing smiled at Yun Shangyue and said softly, "It's just as well that I'll send you out of the hundred-mile radius, so you won't have to rush around yourself!"

  "Aren't you afraid of the Emperor's decree? It was the Seventh Prince who didn't need your escort, and if the Emperor knew about it, he wouldn't blame you. When did you become so enthusiastic?" Yun Shangyue looked at Rong Jing with suspicion.

  "The Seventh Prince returns to the capital, and His Majesty has specially ordered me to go and meet him, which is already a grand affair. How can I be slow? Moreover, the roads from the capital to the Cloudy Mountain are all mountain paths for hundreds of miles, extremely difficult to travel. With me here, you will be spared the suffering of riding horses on bumpy roads, why not take pleasure in it?"

  "So I'm still basking in the glory of the Seventh Prince?" Yun Shangyue looked at Rong Jing, seeing him nod with a smile. The light under her veil flashed with a hint of unusual color, and she smiled: "Then let's go!"

  She raised her steps and walked out of the courtyard.

  Rong Jing took a step forward at the same time, her footsteps still as light and elegant as ever.

  The two of them left the Purple Bamboo Garden.
