Chapter Forty-Four

  Yun Shangyue's hand had just opened a gap in the curtain, and she hadn't even seen the outside scene clearly when Rong Jing's outstretched hand suddenly stopped her. She turned her head back to him in confusion.

  "Aren't you very sleepy? In that case, just sleep in the car!" Rong Jing said.

  "I'm not sleepy now. Besides, sleeping in a car is not as comfortable as sleeping in a room." Yun Qianyue waved off Rong Jing's hand and was about to get out of the car.

  Rong Jing looked at Yun Qian Yue, who seemed to be hesitating and didn't withdraw her hand that was blocking the way.

  "Hey, why are you blocking me?" Yun Shangyue pushed against his hand, raising an eyebrow as she looked at him.

  "Your hair is messy, let me fix it for you!" Rong Jing said.

  "Really? Not that serious, right? I've been very careful not to mess it up." Yun Shangyue reached out to touch her hair, frowning.

  Rong Jing took a step forward with her hand, and with a light flick of her finger, the perfectly coiffed peacock-shaped bun on her head was undone. The jade hairpins and pearl decorations fell out, and her smooth black hair cascaded down.

  "Ah!" Yun Qiu Yue exclaimed, but it was already too late. She stared at Rong Jing, "You clearly didn't go crazy!"

  "It's all messed up!" Rong Jing said without looking at her.

  "You..." Yun Qian Yue glared at him and said angrily: "Now this is what you call chaos!"

  "I'll redo it for you!" Rong Jing suddenly produced a comb from somewhere and began to tidy Yun Qianyue's hair.

  "Don't need you!" Yun Qian Yue opened his hand and shouted towards the outside, "Cai..."

  "It's crowded outside, if you shout, everyone will look over. Do you want others to see your current state?" Rong Jing raised an eyebrow, fiddling with the comb in his hand, "With disheveled hair and clothes in disarray. If you'd like, I won't stop you!"

  The cloud was shallow and the moon was bright, but that "lotus" character suddenly swallowed back into her mouth. Her face looked extremely ugly as she stared at Rong Jing, her hair disheveled was real, but when did she become unkempt? Irritated with herself for not being quick enough just now, she said in a bad tone: "Can you braid hair?"

  "It will come naturally!" Rong Jing said.

  "Then... you comb it!" Yun Shangyue ordered, closing her eyes. Who made her not know how to comb this ancient hairstyle? She could only let him do it. Anyway, she didn't like that hair bun, and now that it's scattered, it's better. But still, she couldn't help but remind him: "Be gentle, don't pull my scalp."

  "Good!" Rong Jing re-grabbed her hair and the comb indeed glided smoothly through Yun Qianyue's black locks.

  Yun Shang Yue didn't have much hope for men who would comb their hair. Bored, she picked up the jade pendants and pearl flowers that had fallen on the carriage floor and played with them. It seemed that the craftsmanship of this era was still particularly backward. Such high-quality jade was poorly polished and had a simple design. The fine details were not thoroughly cleaned either. In recent days, she had also looked at her own jewelry, which only included gold, silver, and jade, but no precious stones. If she were to mine some precious stones and make them into jewelry to sell, she would probably become rich overnight.

  Thinking of this, Yun Shang Yue suddenly gained spirit and asked Rong Jing with a tilted head, "How much money does your family have?"

  "What? You really want to count my family's money?" Rong Jing raised an eyebrow, casting a sideways glance at her, his hands moving without stopping.

  "Ask him," said Yun Qianyue.

  "About five hundred thousand taels of gold." Rong Jing said.

  500,000 taels of gold! One tael of gold is equivalent to 4,000 yuan in modern times, so 500,000 taels of gold would be equivalent to 2 billion yuan. In a world where one copper coin can buy a meat bun, the prices are high, but in that world, one yuan can buy a meat bun, which is equivalent to 200 million yuan in this world. 200 million yuan is indeed a lot of money, but it's not too much for a royal family! If we estimate their wealth based on their powerful influence, they should be able to mine gold freely. She asked: "Does your family mine gold?"

  "Do you think anyone can mine gold? And it's that easy to mine?" Rong Jing said calmly: "There are only two gold mines in the Tian Sheng Dynasty. The imperial family has stationed a large number of troops to guard them, and it's not something that anyone who wants to mine can just do."

  "Oh, then where did your family get so much money from?" Yun Shangyue asked again.

  "The family fortune accumulated over generations has been expanded by me." said Rong Jingdao.

  Yun Qian Yue scolded, "So that's your family ancestor's money, not even yours. Yet you spend it with a clear conscience, and look at how extravagant you are, sitting in a car made of fragrant wood."

  "The Rong Wang Fu ancestors were all military generals, they only knew how to fight and not how to manage the household or accumulate wealth. Since I took over the keys to managing the Rong Wang Fu, I have been able to store up these savings, and now all of the Rong Wang Fu's assets are in my hands, except for the position of Wang Ye which I have yet to inherit. The money is all under my control, aren't those my funds?" asked Rong Jing.

  "Hmm... that's true." Yun Qian Yue muttered, asking with interest: "Then what do you do? You actually earned so much money?"

  "What you're asking seems to be my private matter." Rong Jing reminded Yun Shangyue.

  Yun Shallow Moon pouted, this is what rich people are like, they really have all the ways to make money hidden and tucked away, no wonder Rong Jing is so black-hearted! I reckon it's all about accumulating wealth. She closed her mouth, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Who wants to know your private affairs? I just want to know who has the most money in this entire Tian Sheng, or rather, on this entire continent!"

  "Me!" Rong Jing said without hesitation.

  "Five million taels of gold is also considered the richest? The first richest?" Yun Shallow Moon opened her eyes wide, looking at Rong Jing, seeing his natural look, this is also called rich? The world's richest ranking list first is over 600 billion US dollars, and casually taking out one on the ranking list is also hundreds of billions, she suddenly sneered, "This continent is really poor!"

  "The Yun Wangfu is worth more than a million taels of gold." Rong Jing reminded her again.

  It turns out her family is far worse off than his. Yun Shangyue felt a bit disgruntled, "I will definitely be richer than you in the future."

  "Hmm, I hope so!" Rong Jing said.

  Yun Shallow Moon rolled her eyes, what's the point of hope? She'll definitely have money, as long as she casually explores a gemstone mine and utilizes it. But who knows if this world even has gemstones. Thinking about this made her frown, but then she thought about how hard she worked in her past life, and now she wants to find trouble for herself again - it's simply being idle with a full stomach. If she were to go mining, she'd have to work tirelessly, where's the comfort in that? With this thought, her interest immediately disappeared, and she urged: "Are you done yet?"

  "Hurry up!" Rong Jing pressed down the last strand of green silk and tied it well, taking the jade hairpin from Yun Shangyue's hand and inserting it into her hair.

  "Master, the Crown Prince has already gotten off his carriage and is walking over!" Xuan Ge reminded from outside. Listening to the conversation inside the carriage, his cold face twitched occasionally, he just couldn't understand why this Shallow Moon Miss was worth the Crown Prince personally taking the initiative to style her hair? In all these years, except for him, the Crown Prince never allowed anyone to get within three steps of him, not even Old Master Wang, let alone a woman. Especially one who didn't have any feminine qualities in her words and actions at all. It was really baffling.

  "Hmm!" Rong Jing responded with a sound, still calm and unhurried.

  Yun Shallow Moon frowned, this dead man really made her disgusted, and he always appeared in front of her.

  "Why doesn't Jing Shizi get out of the carriage? Moon Sister is awake?" Ye Tianqing walked over and reached out to lift the curtain.

  The string song suddenly reached out to stop the night sky from tilting, with a cold and expressionless face. "Your Highness, please wait for a moment, Master has just fallen asleep, and I have just woken him up. He is now adjusting his clothes."

  "Oh?" Ye Tian raised an eyebrow, his phoenix eyes deep and profound, clearly disbelieving. He didn't withdraw his hand, saying: "The young master actually fell asleep? Impossible! The mountain road is so bumpy, how could the young master sleep through it?"

  "Does the Crown Prince know that my family's young master has always been in poor health? It's only natural that he can't withstand the bumpy mountain roads, and even a short nap is normal." Xuan Ge didn't back down an inch. Although Miss Shallow Moon didn't have any engagement with the Crown Prince, the Cloud King's Manor and the Imperial Family did have an agreement, and Miss Shallow Moon was the only legitimate daughter of the Cloud King's Manor, carrying the responsibility of entering the palace since birth. Before the Emperor made a statement, she was naturally the first choice. How could the Crown Prince see the young master giving Miss Shallow Moon a hairpin?

  "This crown prince is a man, and the heir is not a woman, what's wrong with being improperly dressed? Are you afraid I'll see it?" The night sky was still, the curtains didn't move, he secretly used his internal energy, but the curtains remained motionless. His face sank slightly, although he had long known that Rong Jing's guard had exceptional martial arts skills, he hadn't expected them to be this high.

  "My family's young master may not be afraid, but Miss Shallow Moon is a lady." Xuan Ge reminded Ye Tian Qing.

  "Yue's sister will be entering the East Palace in the future, how can she be afraid of being seen by His Highness? Can't she even dress properly in front of your family's young master? Get out of my way!" Ye Tian narrowed his eyes and stared at the closed curtain, wanting to see what Yun Shangyue and Rong Jing were doing. A lone man and woman, together in one carriage. Doesn't she care about her reputation? Even Qing Wan, who likes Yun Mochou so much, still sits separately from him, let alone her not caring, does Rong Jing even know this? Does Old Master Yun even know? What are they trying to do?! Have they forgotten that she will be entering the palace in the future?! He was furious in his heart.

  The zither song hums with pursed lips, but her hands still refuse to let the night sky lift the curtains.

  "Although you are Jing Shizi's personal guard, you have no right to block me!" Ye Tianjin glared at Xuan Ge.

  "Get down from the strings!" The person inside the carriage suddenly spoke up, his voice warm and gentle.

  Xuan Ge heard Rong Jing's instructions and slowly withdrew his hand, standing aside.

  The night sky was dark, and with a sudden movement, the car curtain was lifted. Before he could react, a hand emerged from inside and opened the curtain first. Yún Shǎo Yuè revealed a stunningly beautiful face, still with her hair styled in a high bun, but this time it was not as exquisite as the peacock-shaped bun that Cai Lian had done for her earlier. Although she was still breathtakingly beautiful, her overall appearance had lost some of its dazzling brilliance.

  Ye Tianqing seemed to be stunned by this sudden appearance of Yun Shangyue's face, and stared blankly at her.

  The woman's eyes sparkled, her face was clear and elegant, and her purple silk clothes made her look noble and dignified. However, she had a slender figure, a delicate neck, and wrists as white as snow, making her whole person exude an indescribable warmth like water. Like the waves of the ocean, she crashed into his heart, wave after wave, making him feel like he couldn't breathe for a moment.

  Yun Qian Yue looked at Ye Tian Qing with an expressionless face and said coldly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince seems to have misspoken. The women of Yun Wang Fu are entering the Imperial Palace, not your Crown Prince's residence. If I'm not mistaken, you're still not the Emperor yet?"

  Ye Tianqing was startled awake by the words, suddenly stopping his hand, looking at Yun Shangyue with a strange gaze, as if he had never known her before. But when he realized what she said, his face stiffened.

  "Besides, the Cloud King's Manor has more than one daughter, and I have sworn not to enter the palace, so naturally I won't. Cloud Shallow Moon looked at his stiff expression and continued: "Also, I'd like to remind Your Highness again that my brother is only Cloud Muhan. I don't recall when I became your sister, we're just passersby after all. And I'm not worthy of having a brother as noble as you. Your Highness should be careful with his words."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she opened her hands which had been leaning on the carriage door and jumped down from the horse-drawn vehicle with a light bound.

  Just then, the horse carriage noticed that not far in front of her were several familiar faces, Qingyuan Princess, Rong Linglan, Leng Shu, Yu Ning, and several ladies she had seen at Guanjing Garden that day, all standing together, dressed in bright clothes, silk and satin, pearls and jade shining brightly, especially the golden jewelry was dazzling. She hummed a sound, vulgar! Her gaze shifted elsewhere, just seeing Yun Mochan coming out of the carriage looking over here.

  Yun Qian glared at Yun Wu Han, he didn't even change his clothes, the grudge from being locked up for half a month was huge. She shifted her gaze to look for Cai Lian's figure, only to see that Cai Lian, Ting Yu and Ting Xue's carriage were squeezed to the very back, those three girls seemed to want to come over but were blocked by the princesses in front of them, they didn't dare to force their way through, they could only look at her with helpless expressions.

  Cai Lian's gaze was fixed on Yun Shang Yue's head, and she saw that he had changed his hairstyle. She pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction, looking a bit adorable.

  "Where am I staying?" Yun Shangyue asked Rong Jing, turning her head. She had no interest in listening to the Buddha's voice and bathing in the Buddha's light. Sleep was more important, if she slept well, she could visit this thousand-year-old ancient temple, as long as she didn't see that stick.

  She called out to Rong Jing in a natural manner, without feeling anything was amiss. Yet, unbeknownst to her, almost everyone present, including Ye Tianqing, changed color. Especially Yu Cong, the young lady from the Chancellor's Manor, whose hand involuntarily tightened around her handkerchief.

  "You and I will be staying at the Quiet Mind Abode behind the mountain, Master Ci Yun has already made arrangements. "Yong Jing slightly leaned forward, slowly got off the carriage, glanced at Yún Shuè Yuè, his expression as gentle and elegant as always, seemingly not finding anything improper about her calling out to him, he instructed Xuan Ge beside him: "You take her over there to settle in and then come find me. I'll go see Master Ling Yin first."

  "What? Me and you live together? No way!" Yun Qian Yue immediately opposed.

  "Jing Shizi, after all, your sister is an unmarried woman. Living together with you might not be proper, don't you think? One must consider their reputation." Ye Tianqing said with a gloomy face. Rong Jing? She actually called him that so naturally. How many years has it been since someone dared to call him Rong Jing? Even the Emperor himself calls him Jing Shizi.

  Although Yun Qianyue disliked this person and called her "Sister Moon", she didn't oppose what he said. The reason wasn't that she cared about any crappy reputation, but rather because she really didn't want to live with this black-hearted person.

  "Nowadays, Xiangquan Mountain is flooded with people from all walks of life, and it's likely that some suspicious individuals have also snuck in. Even though the Lingtai Temple has checked everyone's identity, it's still possible that one or two fish have slipped through the net. Since Cloud Grandfather entrusted Shallow Moon to me, I naturally take full responsibility for her safety. Jing is a man of propriety, and Shallow Moon is also the legitimate daughter of the Cloud King's Manor, so why would the Crown Prince suspect us of anything?" Rong Jing looked at Ye Tianqing with a hint of raised eyebrows.

  "Jing Shizi's character is naturally not suspicious, and Yueliang's sister is also virtuous and won't do anything that would tarnish her reputation. However, after all, it's just one courtyard, and there are still many inconveniences." Ye Tianqing said.

  "Your Highness can rest assured, Jingxin Courtyard is a two-section courtyard. The courtyards of Jing and Shallow Moon are adjacent to each other, but they won't disturb you." After Rongjing finished speaking, he no longer looked at Yuetian Qing and said to Yunshangyue: "Jingxin Courtyard is the quietest place in Lingtai Temple, it's just right for you to rest and sleep."

  "That's it! Let's go!" Yun Qian Yue immediately agreed. She thought that with Rong Jing in the same courtyard, those miscellaneous people probably wouldn't be able to get in easily, and it would be quiet. She didn't bother to drag things out anymore and said to Xuan Ge: "Lead the way!"

  "Yes!" Xiang Ge bowed to Yun Qian Yue and led the way. Compared to last night, he seemed even more respectful.

  Yun Qian Yue ignored others and lazily followed Xuan Ge, not forgetting to wave at her three maidservants, "Cai Lian, Ting Yu, Ting Xue, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow!"

  "Yes, miss!" The three of them immediately responded, squeezing out from between Rong Lanyan and Han Feng.

  The two of them were squeezed out, and suddenly glared at the three people with anger, just about to scold them, but then Rong Jing spoke up again, "This place is a bit high in terrain, although the back mountain is quiet, it's slightly colder. Remember to cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep."

  "Got it!" Yun Qian Yue waved her hand impatiently. How annoying!

  Others at this time can no longer be described as surprised, Rong Linglan is even more wide-eyed staring at Rong Jing, is this her brother? Is this the brother who has always been cold and indifferent to others, not even giving them a glance? Even his grandfather found it difficult to get close to him, so why is he being so affectionate towards Yun Shuoyue now?

  Leng Xue was also surprised, but she was more concerned about Ye Tianqing's attitude. At this moment, seeing Ye Tianqing's forehead with faintly visible blue veins bursting out, his thin lips tightly pursed, and a gloomy face, she became even more certain of her conjecture in her heart. The Crown Prince still had feelings for Yun Shangyue, and it seemed like he was even more concerned than she had imagined. What made Yun Shangyue so special?

  Yu Jing suddenly closed her eyes, her pink lips turned pale and tightly pursed into a line. If Jing Shizhi was indeed concerned about Rong Lao Wangye's entrustment, he wouldn't need to care about Yun Qianyue to this extent, would he even be afraid of her catching a cold?! Seeing Ye Tianqing remain silent, Yun Qianyue was about to leave when she suddenly summoned the courage to speak softly: "Jing Shizhi is indeed more concerned about Sister Yue than Yun Shizhi appears to be!"

  Everyone suddenly remembered that Yun Shuoyue's brother, Yun Wuhuan, was also there! They looked at Rong Jing and then at Yun Wuhuan.

  Yun Muhan seemed as if he hadn't heard him mention it, his eyelids didn't even flicker, and his face was expressionless.

  Although the cloud is shallow and the moon is far away, it can still be heard clearly. Upon hearing this, she turned her head to look at Yu Jing with a glance, her gaze falling from her tightly pursed small mouth to the handkerchief clenched due to tension, and finally landing on her unwavering line of sight fixed on Rong Jing's face. Suddenly understanding something, she smiled.

  Her laughter was light and soundless, unheard by others, but Rong Jing turned his head to glance at her, and Yun Mochan also looked over.

  Yun Qianyue looked at the two faces in front of her, thinking that she had previously thought they were similar to Rong Jing and Yun Wuhuan because they were both treacherous by nature and liked to threaten people. But now it seemed that they were different, not only in appearance but also in essence. It seemed that at this moment, she had successfully broken through their surface and analyzed their inner hearts.

  Yun Muhan is the kind of cold arrogance that emanates from his bones, from the inside out, rejecting people at a distance of a thousand miles. Not only does he not make people feel close to him, but even flowers, grass, and trees that get too close to him are afraid of freezing to death. On the other hand, Rong Jing is born with nobility, he is not coldly arrogant, his is self-confidence, and he has the capital for it, but he doesn't show it on the surface at all. He is elegant, warm, and looks friendly, but in reality, he stands above the clouds, admired by many, yet looking down at others with a detached air.

  At this thought, Yun Shang Yue rolled her eyes and turned back to continue walking forward. In her opinion, these two people were just like rotten peach blossoms, and it was no wonder that they had infatuated Jing Yu and Qing Wan princess to the point of being bewildered.

  "Since Grandfather Cloud has entrusted her to me, I naturally want to keep her safe and sound. If she catches a cold, it's also my responsibility. Crown Prince Cloud is responsible for ensuring Princess Qingwen's safety, so he can't spare the time to deal with her. That's why I'm entrusting this to you, as it's not outside of your duties." Rong Jing shifted his gaze from Yun Shallow Moon and looked at Yu Cong, his eyes and voice both calm, "Miss Qin, is this answer satisfactory?"

  Yu Jing's face turned pale, and she hastily made a slight bow, forcing a gentle smile, and said softly: "What Shengzi said is absolutely right, Yu Jing didn't mean anything else, but only admired Moon sister not only having a good brother, but also being able to get Shengzi's favor."

  Rong Jing no longer looked at her, his gaze fell on Yun Muhans face, "Yun Shizi's marriage to Gongzhu is a blessing, I'm just an extra burden imposed by Grandfather Yun. She's really too much trouble, this whole journey has been giving me a headache. With such a sister, Yun Shizi must have a daily headache."

  You're a dead weight! Look at me, I'll bother you every day from now on, it's best if you're bothered to death! Although Yun Shang Yue had walked far away, logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to hear the voices from that side anymore. But for some reason, the voices from that side still clearly entered her ears. She was a bit puzzled, and then suddenly realized - she had martial arts skills! Instantly, she became excited about this discovery. Thinking about how far she could hear.

  "Ah, I see!" Yu Cong suddenly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and burst out laughing. Her whole demeanor changed from being tense and heavy to being indescribably lively and beautiful.

  Ye Tian glanced at Yu Jing and followed her gaze to Rong Jing, only to see that Rong Jing hadn't even looked at Yu Jing, but was rubbing his forehead with a pained expression.

  "Why don't we swap? I'm not afraid of trouble!" Yun Mochan's voice was stiff, but when facing Rong Jing, there was no coldness.

  Princess Qingwen's small face suddenly turned pale.

  "Jing can't enjoy the good fortune of being Cloud's grandson, it's just a few days of trouble, and he can still bear it. Besides, 'keeping one's promise to others is a matter of loyalty.' How can I agree with Grandfather Cloud but not follow through?" Jing let go of his hand and smiled slightly.

  Yun Muhan no longer spoke.

  "Amitabha, the old monk has heard that Prince Taizi, Jing Shizi, Yun Shizi and Princess have arrived at the temple. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me!" A Buddhist monk in his fifties hurried over, wearing a simple robe, who was none other than Master Ci Yun of Lingtai Temple. His voice was loud and clear as he bowed to the group.

  "Master, you're too kind! The Emperor has sent me to pay respects and bask in the glory of Master Lingyin's presence. I'll return with blessings for our sacred people. Please forgive any disturbance we may have caused!" Night Sky recovered his regal demeanor as the Crown Prince, his hands clasped behind his back. Although his words were humble, his mannerisms betrayed the superior status of a future ruler.

  "The Crown Prince is seriously ill, I wish His Majesty's holy blessing and the temple's good fortune." Master Ci Yun bowed slightly and turned to Rong Jing: "It's truly a joyous occasion that Young Master Jing has just recovered from his serious illness! I congratulate you, Young Master!"

  "Thank you, Master. The heavens have taken pity on me and allowed me to live a few more years." Rong Jing's voice was warm and gentle, without the slightest hint of arrogance, making him seem approachable and down-to-earth. That faint smile made people feel instantly closer to him.

  "The great calamity of the Crown Prince has passed, and now the purple energy is coming from the east. From now on, he will surely live a long and peaceful life to the age of 100." Master Ciyun's face was filled with smiles, and he recited another Buddhist verse, saying to Rong Jing: "Master Shu is currently waiting quietly in the Dharma Hall for Crown Prince Jing. If Crown Prince Jing has passed away on his own, then it's fine. The Crown Prince is our own person, so I won't accompany him. First, I'll lead the princes and princesses, including the Taizi, Yun Shizi, Gongzhu, and various young ladies from the manors to settle them down, and then go look for the Crown Prince to chat with him."

  "Alright! Master, don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Rong Jing nodded. Without looking at anyone else again, he really walked slowly towards the Dharma Ancestor Hall where Lingyin Master was, without even a small novice monk to guide him.

  The night sky was dimly lit, and although it seemed like Rong Jing had been treated coldly, everyone here knew that Master Ling Yin was a high-ranking figure in the spiritual world. Except for the Emperor, ordinary people found it difficult to catch a glimpse of him, let alone exchange words with him. Now that Rong Jing had gone to his meditation room alone, one could imagine how much he looked up to Master Ling Yin - it was as if he were an honored guest. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Yun Shizi, Princess, and young ladies from various manors, please follow me!" Ci Yun Master bowed again to the group before leading them away.

  "Thank you for your trouble, Master!" Night Sky bowed his head.

  Master Ci Yun is currently leading the way towards the southern courtyard of the mountain temple.

  "Master, we live in the south, Jing Shi and Moon sister's residence is in the north, isn't this a bit out of reach?" Yu Cong glanced at the north, only to see Rong Jing's figure had already turned around a temple and gone behind, she slightly furrowed her brow, softly asking.

  "The Lingtai Temple was not large to begin with, and the back mountain only had two courtyards, with no other extra space. One place was occupied by Master Lingshui's uncle, and one place was occupied by Shijiezi. The young master liked quietness, and it just so happened that he could discuss Buddhist teachings with Master Lingshui's uncle. Therefore, I ask everyone to forgive me, although the south mountain is not very quiet, I will no longer arrange for other nobles to stay here. If everyone can keep from making a disturbance, it should also be quiet." Ciyun Dashi said with a smile, glancing at Yuxing.

  Yu Jing nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

  "Brother also doesn't know what he's thinking, how did he agree to Old Master Yun's entrustment to take care of Yun Shangyue. That woman can't even sit or stand properly, and it's said she can't recognize a single character, it took her half a month to memorize the list of names in the Yun Wangfu, she's really stupid." Rong Linglan said discontentedly.

  "Exactly!" Cold and distant nod of agreement.

  Ye Tian glanced at the two of them and pursed his lips, but didn't say a word.

  Qing Wan Gong Zhu looked at Yun Wu Han.

  Yun Mu's cold and detached gaze fell on Rong Linglan, "Is the second young lady saying that I'm not teaching well? Can't teach her sister for half a month in a row? It's not that she's stupid, but that I've become stupid?"

  Rong Linglan was startled, and only then remembered that Yun Wuheng was beside her. She immediately looked at him, and when she met his cold gaze, her heart skipped a beat. Hurriedly, she smiled and said: "How dare Rong say that the Young Master of the Clouds is... it's just that Yun Shallow Moon is foolish... everyone knows that she is a spoiled brat, wasting the Young Master's time like this, really..."

  Under the cold and indifferent gaze of Yun Muo, she could no longer speak.

  "She learned to manage the household with the emperor's permission, and I was given a two-month leave of absence to focus on teaching her. But if we follow Miss Er's words, wouldn't it be foolish of the emperor to give me leave? Shouldn't she remain a stubborn stone forever? Is Miss Er doubting the wisdom of the imperial decree?" Yun Wuhan raised an eyebrow.

  Rong Linglan's face turned pale, she didn't understand why Yun Qianyue was suddenly defending Cloud Shallow Moon today. She took a step back and hastily shook her head, "I didn't say that, I just said she learns a bit slowly..."

  "It's better not to say such things, if the Emperor were to hear them, I'm afraid Second Miss would be in trouble." Yun Wuhan stopped looking at her and coldly warned: "She is my sister, I don't want to hear anyone say anything that isn't true about her. If I hear it again, no matter who says it, don't blame me for being impolite!"

  Rong Linglan wanted to explain something, but suddenly fell silent.

  Even with a cold and distant heart, there is still a tremble; naturally, one's mouth closes and remains silent.

  Qing Wan Gongzhu glanced at the two of them and unconsciously took a few steps back, she only understood that day in the imperial palace that Yun Wu Han was actually protecting his sister. Just like he said, no matter how bad his sister was, she was still his sister, and her own flesh and blood, not allowing others to bully her. She quickly caught up with Yun Wu Han and softly said: "They're just envious of Yueliang being doted on by Jing Shizi, don't be angry. Yueliang is actually clever, it's just that her mind has never been focused on reading and reasoning. Playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and embroidery are not as enjoyable to her as practicing martial arts. So even if she's slow now, it's normal. As long as she puts in effort and with your guidance, she'll definitely become a talented woman in the future."

  Yun Muhan seemed not to have heard, and remained silent for his entire life.

  Qing Wan princess got used to it and didn't speak again, silently following him.

  The night sky swept away the clouds, and Mu Han glanced at Qing Wan Gongzhu with a cold expression. The man was indifferent, but the woman followed closely behind him, paying attention to his every move. His thoughts stirred, and he noticed that the two of them seemed a bit dazed. Before his eyes appeared the figure of a woman who had once followed closely behind him, her footsteps matching his. Had he been as cold and distant back then as Mu Han was now? No, even when Mu Han was being cold, he had never shown disgust. Back then, his eyes and heart had truly revealed frustration and loathing. But now, that person didn't even glance at him, and even when their eyes met, it was with the same coldness and disdain as before. He couldn't help but close his eyes, his face pale.

  "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?" The cold and distant figure suddenly spoke up at this moment.

  The night sky was calm and peaceful, she turned her head to glance back, only to see Rong Linglan and Leng Xue both staring at her with the same look in their eyes, filled with worry, deep affection, and tender feelings. In the past, this gaze would have made him proud, thinking that such a noble lady was worthy of him. But now, looking at these two people, why did he suddenly feel none of the previous emotions? Even thinking about how they used to love bullying Yun Shu Yue, his heart still held a hint of annoyance and displeasure.

  "Is the sun too poisonous?" Rong Linglan also spoke with concern. The fear that had just been warned by Yun Mochan dissipated, looking at Ye Tianqing. Thinking that as long as Yun Qianyue didn't compete with her for the crown prince, she wouldn't bother with that stupid woman again.

  "It's nothing!" The night sky turned its head back.

  Rong Linglan and Leng Xueyu exchanged a glance, then fell silent. The Crown Prince had always been unfathomable, and there were some things that they shouldn't know about, so they didn't dare ask more questions. This was also the reason why they liked Ye Tianyi - they felt that only such an unfathomable, noble, and majestic Crown Prince could satisfy their girlish hearts and make them surrender.

  Yu Jing walked at the very back, occasionally turning her head to look towards the rear mountain. Seeing the five people in front of her, she smiled wryly in her heart. She used to walk behind and mock Qing Wan Gongzhu and Rong Linglan, thinking that the men they were desperately pursuing would trample their self-esteem, which was not worth it. Now, however, she couldn't help but mock herself. She wasn't even as good as them; they could see and reach what they wanted, while she couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes. Before, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this. From the depths of her heart, she felt that such a person was only worthy of being admired from afar, high up in the clouds. But when one day he truly walked down from the clouds and smiled at someone, that smile wasn't directed at her. It's easy to imagine how great the impact on her would be.

  Yu Jing's face changed colors constantly, after a long while, she clenched her fists, no, absolutely cannot! She still had opportunities, didn't she?

  A group of people walked in silence, with only the soft sound of footsteps echoing through the air.

  Master Ci Yun silently said "Amitabha" in his heart. They were all a group of foolish men and resentful women. He let out a deep sigh.

  But as she walked further, she could still hear the conversation behind her clearly, and she was very happy. She listened carefully, but after a few steps, she couldn't hear it anymore, and she furrowed her brow. Turning back to look, she saw that they were only about ten or so zhang away, and she pouted, but this didn't affect her happy mood. In the modern era, she hadn't had any internal energy, after all! Now that she had internal energy, she was naturally still happy. She turned her head to look at Xuan Ge, who had a expressionless face, and immediately asked: "Hey, I can hear them talking! Can you?"

  Xuan Ge looked back at Yun Shang Yue's excited face and nodded, "I can!"

  "Can you still do that now? How far can you hear?" Yun Qianyue knew that Rong Jing, this guard, seemed to have profound martial arts skills, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stop Ye Tian from opening the carriage curtains.

  "It's also possible now. I can hear movements within about two miles from here," said Xuan Ge.

  "Two miles away?" Yun Shallow Moon widened her eyes. She turned back to take a look, and immediately fell face down, all she could hear was just a few steps, it seemed that having internal strength wasn't that profound after all. Comparing oneself to others is really infuriating!

  "This is just a small matter under you. If it were the young master, he could probably hear all the movements in the entire Lingtai Temple." Xuan Ge said.

  "What?" Yun Qian Yue took a step back. Rong Jing was so awesome! She opened her eyes wide, staring at Xuan Ge.

  It's time to let Miss Shallow Moon understand the abilities of the young master. Otherwise, she would always be too arrogant in front of him. It's just that the young master doesn't bother with her. Especially since she even scolded the young master a lot along the way, and even his servant couldn't bear it, yet the young master didn't get angry or annoyed, but rather let her be. He nodded affirmatively, "With the young master's abilities, perhaps it's not just that!"

  Wow! Yun Shallow Moon took a glance at Lingtai Temple, which was also about five miles in circumference. Could Yong Jing be so powerful? She wouldn't believe it even if she died. If she were that powerful, wouldn't she have become a half-immortal by now? She curled her lips, "You're just bragging!"

  Xuan Ge waited to see Yun Shang Yue's starry eyes of admiration for the young master, but unexpectedly, after waiting for half a moment, what came was this sentence. His face turned black, and he said solemnly: "I never brag! The young master indeed has this skill."

  "Hmm, you might as well say that your family's child has become an immortal and will soon ascend to the realm of ultimate bliss. Look, there's a cow in the sky, can't you see? It's all because of your boasting down here." Yun Qianyu pretended to raise her hand and point at the sky.

  Xuan Ge couldn't help but follow Yun Shangyue's gaze to the sky, where the blue sky was as clear as a wash. Where was the cow? He withdrew his line of sight and saw Yun Shangyue with a smile that seemed to be mocking him. He stopped in his tracks, his anger rising: "Miss Shangyue, you may not believe it, but you can't insult my family's young master."

  "Who dares to insult him? Who would dare! He is Rong Jing, if I say one bad thing about him, other people's saliva would probably drown me." Yun Shangyue looked at this cold and stern guard with a face full of anger, feeling great, waved her hand, "Then let's just assume your family's son is that awesome."

  What's the big deal? The family heir's abilities are naturally great! Otherwise, how could he have endured for ten years without decline, surpassing all the literary and martial champions of past years? He stared at Yun Shangyue, correcting her, "It's not 'what if', it was originally so!"

  "Alright, it was originally so!" Yun Qiu Yue nodded in recognition of the situation, looking at Xuan Ge's face. If she didn't follow his words, he would probably draw his sword and kill her. Seeing Xuan Ge's slightly improved expression, she immediately changed the subject, "Hey, since..."

  "Miss Qianyue, I'm not called 'feed', I'm called Xiang Ge!" Xiang Ge reminded Yun Qianyue.

  "Alright, Xuan Ge! I'm asking you, since your family's child is so amazing and can hear movements from miles around, doesn't that mean he doesn't need to do anything else day and night? He can just listen to other people's movements and conversations all the time." Yun Shang Yue changed her tone smoothly, but couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness for Rong Jing in her heart. Being talented is not necessarily a good thing! If she were to guess, she would go crazy from being driven mad by the sounds around her every day, and wouldn't be able to sleep well at night."

  "Miss Qianyue, a martial artist should know how to control their inner energy at will. At my family's heir's level, as long as they don't deliberately release their inner energy or try to sense the surroundings, they are no different from ordinary people. Moreover, trying to sense the surroundings is a very energy-consuming thing. You see, inner energy is the soul of a martial artist, and losing one-tenth of it would take a month to recover. So, my family's heir will definitely not do such a thing, and generally, no one would do such a thing either." Xuan Ge looked at Yun Qianyue, thinking that although it was said that Old Master Yun had personally taught Miss Qianyue martial arts, now it seemed that this Miss Qianyue was just a half-baked martial artist, not only illiterate but also ignorant of even the basics of martial arts, which was really worrying.

  "Oh, I see!" Yun Shangyue nodded, looking enlightened.

  "It's said that Miss Shallow Moon has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, so it shouldn't be the case that she can't control her inner energy. However, I observe that your body seems to have a chaotic flow of true qi." Xuan Ge looked at Yun Shallow Moon with a puzzled gaze.

  "I have no idea." Yun Qian Yue shrugged. If she were the real Yun Qian Yue, she would probably know what was going on, but unfortunately, she wasn't. Moreover, she didn't even have any memories of this body. She only felt that there was something in her lower abdomen that surged like the sea at times, and disappeared without a trace at other times, sometimes warm and sometimes cold. Fortunately, it didn't affect her daily life, and she couldn't understand it either, so she just let it be. Probably this was what Xuan Ge meant by "true energy".

  "It's probably beyond me, but I'm sure my family's successor would know. Miss Shallow Moon can ask him for guidance." Xuan Ge withdrew her gaze and continued to lead the way forward.

  "Hmm!" Yun Shangyue responded perfunctorily. As if she would be lectured by Rong Jing! Anyway, time was on her side, and this thing was active within her body, as long as it didn't bother her, that was enough. In the past, without martial arts, she could still climb high and jump low, now she just couldn't be bothered to waste her energy. Just going with the flow was fine.

  Xian Ge didn't speak again, thinking that this Shallow Moon Miss seemed to be a scatterbrain and impossible to get close to. However, the more he interacted with her, the more he found her incomprehensible. Things that others yearned for, followed rules and conventions, and were revered and worshiped, in her eyes were worthless. He didn't know what she thought was most important to her. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yun Shallow Moon leisurely looking left and right, and his original disdain and annoyance had faded away, replaced by a hint of curiosity and respect for her.

  "A thousand-year-old temple, there's nothing much to see, it's just old." Yun Qianyue commented on Lingtai Temple.

  "This is the temple known as the Number One Temple in the World, which was personally named by the founding emperor when he first established his dynasty. The temple has 81 courtyards and thousands of monks. At the beginning, when the founding emperor was in a precarious situation during the Battle of Luohuan Mountain due to a lack of troops, it is said that the monks of Lingtai Temple took up arms and fought against the enemy, helping the founding emperor to get out of trouble." Xiang Ge explained this to Shallow Moon Miss, guessing that she also didn't know about the origins of Lingtai Temple.

  "Alas, I didn't know there was such a backstory. It's really pitiful for these monks, they've renounced worldly life yet still break their vows and kill people. Amitabha, what a sin!" Yun Shangyue made a sorrowful expression.

  The strings suddenly fell silent.

  At that time, the Lingtai Temple's move was spread throughout the country. After all, that battle was a decisive battle. From then on, the founding emperor stationed troops and prepared thoroughly before launching a thorough counterattack, defeating one by one the scattered vassal kings of the previous dynasty. The monks of Lingtai Temple achieved great merit and were highly rewarded by the founding emperor. This is a chapter that has been passed down for thousands of years, but it's actually become pitiful when it comes to this Shallow Moon Miss...

  "One meritorious deed can lead to the withering of ten thousand bones! The monk's achievement is probably also for the sake of this temple's prosperity and fame. However, it's all just seeking fame and fortune, nothing more. I don't think there's anything worth admiring." Yun Qianyue gave her evaluation once again, letting out a soft snort in disdain.

  The strings sang a pause, and he saw the shallow cloud and moon's mocking smile at the corner of her mouth. He couldn't help but think of the prince's previous discussion about the situation when the monks went to battle back then. At that time, although the prince didn't say anything, it seemed like this same mocking and satirical expression. In this moment, he suddenly felt that the woman beside him was standing at the same height as the prince.

  But that expression was only for a moment, Yun Shangyue suddenly smiled and asked Xuan Ge: "Do you know there are nuns in this temple? Do monks and nuns get married?"

  The string song suddenly shattered his previous thoughts, feeling that he was really infatuated. This woman's mind is full of dirty and messy thoughts, how can she stand at the same height as the young master? He turned his head, with a stern face said: "Miss Shallow Moon be careful with your words, this temple is all monks, high-ranking monks who have renounced worldly life to follow Buddhism, how can they live with nuns? Not to mention marrying a nun, it's simply ridiculous and absurd!"

  Yun Shallow Moon rolled her eyes, modern monks and nuns can get married, what a backward ancient times! Even people are wooden-headed. She immediately said: "Hmph, there isn't now, but it will definitely be allowed in the future!"

  Xian Ge stopped in his tracks again and solemnly warned, "Miss Shallow Moon, I advise you not to say another word. This is Lingtai Temple, if someone hears you, it will provoke the wrath of Master Linyin, Abbot Fangzhong, and all the monks. Even as a young master of my household, I won't be able to protect you. You might even be driven out of the temple."

  "Good riddance! Who would want to stay in this broken place anyway!" Yun Shallow Moon disagreed.

  Xuan Ge's face turned cold and he said: "I was thinking of telling you to leave, it's a small matter, but it will drag down my family's heir."

  "I don't have a half-cent relationship with your family's young master, what a joke!" Yun Shangyue rolled her eyes.

  Xuan Ge was speechless, staring at Yun Qian Yue as if she were a monster. Could this be the words of a well-bred lady? Especially in front of men, it's too rude, I don't know how Wang Ye agreed to let her serve him. He's really pitiful for the prince. His cold face kept changing colors.

  "Wow, your face is as changeable as a chameleon's." Yun Qianyue seemed to have suddenly discovered something amusing and looked at Xuan Ge's face with interest, her expression seeming to want to reach out and rub it.

  Xuan Ge suddenly turned around and walked forward with big strides. He really suspected that this woman was not the daughter of Yun Wang Fu! If he hadn't known all along that Miss Shallow Moon of Yun Wang Fu was a spoiled and unconventional lady who often did shocking things, he would have taken her to see the official and said that this woman was an imposter.

  Xiang Ge's footsteps were swift, and in the blink of an eye, he had already descended a great distance from Yun Qian Yue.

  Yun Shallow Moon didn't mind either, thinking that Rong Jing, this little guard, was too old-fashioned and had no entertainment cells at all.

  Cai Lian, Ting Xue, and Ting Yu followed behind the two of them, all feeling ashamed for their young mistress. At Ling Tai Temple, they said that the temple was home to nuns, and she was probably the first person in history to think of such a thing. And yet, she even suggested that monks and nuns could get married - it was unbelievable that she had come up with such an idea. The three of them exchanged a glance, and all let out a sigh. In the past, their young mistress may not have been close to people, but at least she knew what etiquette was, what should be said and what shouldn't be said, and in front of outsiders, she still had the demeanor of a refined lady. But looking at her now, eating like a wolf, walking with an unsteady gait, speaking coarsely and using foul language - it was as if she didn't have even half the image of a woman! They couldn't help but worry about her future. Would she be able to get married in the future?

  The lyrics also thought that such a woman would probably not be married, no one wants her, no wonder the prince doesn't like her! It's really hard to accept.

  Clouds are shallow, and the moon is still a little self-conscious, but still takes a leisurely stroll. Thinking that even if it's on the turf of antiques, it's okay to experience it well. Who knows, one day, under certain circumstances, I'll return to modern times and make some contributions to the study of cultural relics for the National Cultural Heritage Bureau.

  No one spoke again, passing by temple after temple, heading straight for the back mountain Chan Temple.

  Xiaosha hurriedly came and went, seeing several people respectfully bowing to Buddha, and then hastily leaving. The direction was towards the Dharma Ancestor Hall. From that side, the sound of Buddhist chanting had already faintly transmitted over. Although it couldn't be seen with one's own eyes, it could still be felt that it must be a scene of bustling crowds, extremely lively.

  Yun Qian Yue thought of Rong Jing accompanying a bald monk, and couldn't help but say with glee: "It's best if your family's young master becomes a Buddhist today. I will definitely burn incense to celebrate for him."

  Xuan Ge stopped in his tracks again, expressionless as he looked at Yun Shang Yue's delighted face and said: "Ten years ago, Master Ling Yin had already said that although the young master of my household has a Buddhist heart, he has no Buddhist fate. This lifetime will not be one where he will take refuge in Buddhism. Miss Shallow Moon needn't worry about the young master of my household."

  The words fell, and the strings continued to move forward.

  Yun Shallow Moon blinked her eyes, with a patch of gray and black in them. Damn it! That old scoundrel Ling Yin also deliberately made things difficult for her. Rong Jing looked like he could ascend to immortality at any moment, but no insight!

  Cai Lian naturally knew Yun Shang Yue's thoughts through these days of contact, and couldn't help but sigh, saying to Yun Shang Yue in a low voice: "Miss, Jing Shi Zi is so good to you! Is this hairstyle done by him? A man's hands are so noble, especially Jing Shi Zi's pair, I reckon he has never braided anyone else's hair before. Now that he treats you differently, you should be content and not wish for someone who has already left the secular world."

  "Hmph, my hair was messed up by him, and he didn't even help me comb it! Who's going to comb it for me?" Yun Shangyue got angry just thinking about it. Clearly, her hair wasn't even messy. But she had been stiffening her neck all day, enduring the torture."

  "Miss, how could Jingshi Zi mess up your hair! You must have messed it up yourself while sleeping. Jingshi Zi kindly helped you comb your hair and yet you treated him coldly!" Cailian glared at Yunshangyue and continued: "Besides, the king and queen of Rongwang Fu passed away a long time ago, now there's only Jingshi Zi left in the direct line. If he were to become a monk, who would inherit Rongwang Fu? Don't ever mention this again."

  Yun Shallow Moon was taken aback, "You said Rong Jing's parents have passed away? Or a long time ago?"

  "Yes, I heard that ten years ago, due to the rebellion in Beijiang, the king went to quell it, but was trapped there. Later, the siege of Beijiang was lifted, but the king allegedly contracted a strange poison and fell seriously ill. He died on his way back, and his body had frozen solid by the time he returned. The queen was deeply in love with the king and took her own life upon hearing the news. The king only married one queen in his lifetime and had only one son, Jing Shizi. After that, Jing Shizi also fell seriously ill and hasn't left the mansion for ten years." Cailian's voice was extremely soft as she reproached: "You should have known about this, miss, but you've never cared about others."

  The cloud is shallow and the moon is thinking deeply, but unexpectedly, Rong Jing is so pitiful. However, compared to being an orphan since childhood, she is also happy. There are many pitiful people in the world, at least Rong Jing is now admired by everyone and lives more comfortably than others. Thinking of this, her melancholy thoughts eased a bit, and she lowered her voice: "Isn't Rong Linglan Rong Jing's younger sister? How did he become the only one left in his family?"

  "Miss, how are you getting more and more confused?" Cai Lian explained helplessly: "The Rong Wang Fu family is very large, and the branch of Jing Shi Zi started from the Holy Emperor. However, this main branch only produces infatuated people, so there are few children. The queen gave birth to the crown prince and never got pregnant again, so there's only one son left. On the other hand, the side branches have many children. Rong Er Miss is just the legitimate daughter of the second master of Rong Wang Fu. There are also third and fourth masters, so Jing Shi Zi is naturally Rong Er Miss's older brother. He has many brothers, sisters, and younger siblings, not just Rong Er Miss alone!"

  Wow! Yun Shang Yue's mouth twitched uncontrollably. The ancient aristocratic families are truly terrifying!

  "It's not just the Rong Wang Fu, our Yun Wang Fu is also like this. It's just that our Yun Wang Fu has a flourishing and prosperous main branch, so it seems slightly simpler than the Rong Wang Fu. But even if it's simple, there are still constant struggles, Miss. The Rong Wang Fu values men, with Jing Shizi being the most valuable, while in our fu, women are valued, like now that the main branch has only you, Miss, as the king's daughter-in-law passed away early and the king didn't remarry or establish a new queen. Your current identity and future representative identity make many people's eyes turn red with envy! So, it's easy to imagine how many people are envious of Jing Shizi's position and status. You and Jing Shizi are similar in this regard! Both are quite difficult." Cai Lian sighed as she spoke.

  Yun Shallow Moon is somewhat speechless. Looking at her, what kind of dog luck, it's hard to be reborn, still a radiant body, as if wanting to hide can't hide. Pitiful!

  The two of them finished speaking, and Xian Ge had already led them to the back mountain Zen temple. He stopped in his tracks, pointing to a courtyard in front of him: "Miss Shallow Moon, it's here. The young master lives in the west wing, you live in the east wing."

  "Hmm!" Yun Shangyue stopped in her tracks, taking in the surroundings. Indeed, with the green hills behind and the quiet serenity, she could hear a few birds chirping, their clear and pleasant songs filling the air. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the sweet fragrance of flowers, and she took a deep breath, finding it extremely pleasant. She couldn't help but ask: "What kind of flower is this scent from?"

  "Miss, this is the taste of Half-branch Lotus. The reason why Xiangquan Mountain is named after its two characters 'Xiang' and 'Quan' is because there are two precious flowers here. One is Half-branch Lotus and the other is Guang Yu Lan. These two flowers make all the spring water on this mountain fragrant. Wait until I use the water from Xiangquan Mountain to brew a pot of tea for you, then you'll know how good it tastes." Cai Lian said immediately.

  "Hmm, that's just right." Yun Shangyue nodded and yawned lazily, waving her hand at Xuan Ge, "You go find your family's young master! I don't need you here, tell your family's young master that I want to sleep, don't bother me if there's nothing important."

  "Yes!" Xiang Ge nodded and said to Yun Shang Yue, "This courtyard has hidden guards secretly guarding it, so Miss Shang Yue can rest assured and sleep peacefully. I'll go find my family's young master."

  "Good!" Yun Qian Yue didn't look at him again and walked towards the inner courtyard.

  Xiang Ge then exercised his lightness skill to head towards the hall of Damo Zushi. As he rode the wind, he thought about how many young ladies hoped to get the attention of the young master, but Miss Shallow Moon avoided the young master like a fierce beast. And yet, the young master was willing to get close to Miss Shallow Moon, he really didn't understand. However, this wasn't something he should understand either.

  Arriving at the East Wing courtyard, Yun Shang Yue strode quickly towards the main house under the bright moonlight.

  Cai Lian and others hastily followed behind her.

  The room was spotless and dust-free, someone had already tidied up in advance. Yun Shangyue saw the wide bed and soft quilt and directly pounced onto it, closing her eyes comfortably and said: "The bumpy carriage ride was unbearable, a bed is still more comfortable!"

  Cai Lian looked at Yun Shang Yue in silence, thinking to herself why Miss was so fond of sleeping. It even affected them and they couldn't have fun. She couldn't help but frown and say: "Miss, it's already daytime now, you went to bed very early yesterday, how can you still be sleepy?"

  "You were noisy till midnight yesterday, how could I have a good sleep? What's the big deal during the day, when you're sleepy, just sleep!" Yun Shallow Moon closed her eyes and didn't open them.

  "But you haven't had breakfast yet! I just came in and saw that there was a meal laid out in the small kitchen! You should at least eat before sleeping!" Cai Lian thought it would be best to finish eating and not sleep, and take them out to play.

  "I'm not hungry, I won't eat anymore, you all go ahead and eat! After you're done, go play on your own, don't worry about me." Yun Qian Yue naturally understood the thoughts of these three girls, at this moment they were eager to rush to the Dharma Hall to listen to the Buddha's teachings.

  "How can that be? How can we leave Miss alone here? No way!" Cai Lian shook her head.

  "What's wrong? Haven't you heard that this yard is full of hidden guards? I'm just sleeping here, what could happen? Can't lose anything, if hungry, go find food yourself. Don't bother me, hurry up and go play!" Yun Shangyue waved her hand to shoo them away.

  "Let Lingshu and Lingyu go play! I'll stay here and guard Miss!" Cailian still shook her head.

  "Let you go then go. All three of you go!" Yun Qianyue pulled over the quilt to cover herself, and added a sentence, "This is an order! Go quickly, I want to sleep. Come back and tell me after listening to some enlightening Buddhist teachings."

  Cai Lian hesitated, but couldn't resist the curiosity and playful thoughts that had been brewing for a long time. Seeing Yun Shang Yue was indeed going to sleep and not going to watch, she could only nod her head, "Then the three servants will go. Miss, rest well!"

  "Hmm!" Yun Qianyue responded with a murmur.

  Cai Lian and the other two exchanged a glance, turned around and walked out, not forgetting to close the door behind them. After discussing it for a moment, they didn't even eat dinner, but excitedly ran out of the east wing courtyard, heading straight for the Dharma Ancestor Hall.

  Yun Qian Yue listened as the footsteps faded away, and then she really fell asleep. In her opinion, nothing was more pleasant than sleep.

  She had just fallen asleep for a short while when she heard footsteps entering the yard, the footsteps were extremely light, but she was naturally sensitive and had internal skills, so she could hear them very clearly.

  The clouds are shallow and the moon is hazy above her head. In her heart, she thinks about who dares to disturb her good sleep, and she must have stir-fried a big pot for whoever it is.

  "Master Wang, please wait a moment, my young mistress is sleeping!" Mo Li's voice came from outside.

  It was actually Ye Qingran! Yun Shang's drowsy mind cleared up a bit. However, she still couldn't resist the sleepiness. Although Ye Qingran and she had a good relationship, it wasn't enough to keep her awake. Thinking that Mo Li had also followed her, great! With this person blocking the way for her, she could finally sleep at ease.

  "Is she asleep?" Ye Qianyu stopped in her tracks.

  "Yes!" Mo Li nodded.

  "What is she doing sleeping in the daytime? How can she sleep so much? Is she uncomfortable? Move aside, I'll go take a look at her." Ye Qianyu walked forward, passing by Mo Li.

  "Little King stop right there. After all, it's a young lady's boudoir. It would be quite inconvenient for you to enter!" Mo Li once again blocked Ye Qingran.

  "Is she sleeping naked in broad daylight?" Ye Qingran glared at Mo Li, seemingly also sensing that something was off. She waved her hand at him, "You go wake her up and tell her I'm taking her out to play. The Half-branch Lotus and Guang Yu Lan on the back mountain are blooming exceptionally well, we can go take a look. We can also go fishing in the river and eat some fish. The water from the Fragrant Spring is particularly good for raising fish that tastes amazing. I'll roast some fish for her to eat. Ben Xiao Wang's roasted fish skills are unmatched. It's something ordinary people can't even get to taste."
