Chapter 47

  Chapter 47

  Yun Shallow Moon arrived at the kitchen, and the small kitchen was empty. Not only was there no one, but the pot on the stove was also gone. Only the aroma of fish and porridge filled the room, clearly indicating that the porridge and fish she had just eaten came from here. She walked to the front of the stove and saw that the large pot had been recently removed, leaving a mark. She gritted her teeth, thinking that Xuan Ge was indeed a person beside Rong Jing, with such foresight. Now, the small kitchen didn't even have a fish shadow, let alone a human shadow. Her annoyance grew stronger, and she turned around and left the small kitchen.

  Standing in the courtyard, Yun Shallow Moon pursed her lips and slowly released the inner force from her dantian to explore, finding that except for Rong Jing eating fish in the main house of the west wing, there was no one else in the courtyard. It can be inferred that Xuan Ge took the person who made the fish away with the fish early on. She withdrew her inner force, and in this short moment, fine sweat beads had already rolled out on her forehead, thinking that Xuan Ge's words were right, this kind of external release of inner force to explore the surroundings was indeed damaging to her power, she would not use it again in the future.

  She raised her eyes to see Rong Jing sitting in the house, elegantly savoring fish. The shadow reflected in front of the window was also so simple and elegant. She suddenly felt that it would be a loss if she went back with a belly full of anger today. How could she let this culprit get away with it? Thinking like this, she lifted her feet and re-entered Rong Jing's house again.

  "How did you get back? Did you really eat too much and couldn't sleep?" Rong Jing raised his eyes to look at Yun Shangyue.

  Yun Qianyu pushed aside the beaded curtain and walked a few steps to stand in front of Rong Jing, bowing her head to gaze at him. "Tell me, where did Xuan Ge and that person who made the steamed fish with hibiscus go? If you tell me their whereabouts, I'll spare your life today. If not, don't think about having a good time."

  Rong Jing put down his chopsticks and suddenly let out a helpless sigh, saying to Yun Shang Yue in a gentle voice: "Why are you still acting like a child? I kept the fish-cooking maid for later so I could invite you to eat the leftover fish, how did you manage to find her? Xuan Ge is afraid that you'll go look for him to practice martial arts, now he's hiding far away, and it's likely that you won't be able to see him for these few days."

  "It's indeed premeditated!" Yun Shangyue spat out a sentence, leaned in close to Rong Jing and reached out to grab his clothes.

  Rong Jing sat still, quietly watching him.

  Yun Shallow Moon's hand had just reached out to Rong Jing's chest and then pulled back, she was thinking that it would be fine if she could just get his Tian Shan Snow Lotus like this, but then she thought about how it was hidden in his embrace, and how she couldn't bring herself to touch a man's body, so she could only pretend to be calm and examine him, her gaze fixed on the jade pendant tied around his waist. This translucent, white, warm and moist jade pendant was obviously worth a fortune, let alone this person who definitely didn't have any inferior goods on him. She didn't hesitate anymore, reached out and grabbed the jade pendant, "This one is mine!"

  "Do you want this?" Kong Jing raised an eyebrow.

  "Hmm! Give it to me!" Yun Qiu Yue looked at him with a lot of momentum.

  His gentle and calm eyes suddenly shattered, revealing a hint of profundity. He looked deeply at Yun Shang Yue's small face, which was frozen in place, and reached out to push her hand away. Yun Shang Yue grasped his hand tightly, refusing to let go. He chuckled softly, "If you hold on like this, how can I help you take it off?"

  Did you give it to her? Yun Shangyue was slightly stunned. Is she really that easy to talk to?

  Rong Jing's pale hand like jade gently lifted, the jade pendant at his waist fell into his hand, he stuffed it into Yun Shangyue's hand and smiled casually: "Since you want it, I'll give it to you!" "It can't be fake, right?" Yun Shangyue held the jade pendant in her hand, studying it against the lamplight.

  "It won't come naturally. How can fake things stick to me?" Rong Jing no longer looked at her, picked up his tea and took a sip.

  Yun Shallow Moon thought that something with such a good texture couldn't be fake, otherwise her solid academic background in antique jewelry would have been wasted. Without hesitation, she tucked the jade pendant into her bosom and turned to leave.

  "Is it just going to end like this?" Rong Jing spoke up again.

  Nonsense! Are you waiting for him to take back the jade pendant if you don't leave? Yun Qianyue turned around and gave him a cold glance.

  "You'd better go back and rest early then! Tomorrow we'll go to Nanshan to see the Guangyulan." said Rong Jing.

  "Don't go!" Yun Piao Yue lifted the curtain and stepped out of the doorway.

  "This Xiangquan Mountain is most famous not for its Osmanthus fragrans, but for the osmanthus wine brewed with it. Ten years ago, I and Master Lingyin had a good affinity, after playing a game of chess together, we jointly brewed a jar of osmanthus wine. We agreed to meet again when there was another opportunity to taste it together, but unexpectedly this jar of osmanthus wine was buried for ten years. It may not be surprising that the osmanthus wine was buried for ten years, but what is surprising is that our brewing method is unique, using the combined strength of the two of us to steam out the alcohol content, and adding more than a dozen precious medicinal materials. Such osmanthus wine has only been made once in history, it's priceless, even the emperor may not be able to get a taste. Are you sure you won't go tomorrow?" Only Rong Jing's voice slowly followed Cloud Shallow Moon's footsteps.

  "Go! Who said I wasn't going? Wait for me tomorrow." Yun Qian Yue immediately shamelessly backtracked.

  "Good!" Rong Jing responded with relish.

  Yun Shallow Moon no longer looked back and didn't bother speaking again, she lifted her feet and walked out of the western wing.

  Not long after she left, Xuan Ge floated into the room, looking at Rong Jing and disapprovingly said: "Young Master, why did you give your jade pendant that you never leave your side to Miss Shallow Moon? That is the only token representing your identity. Moreover, it's..."

  "Enough!" Rong Jing interrupted Xuan Ge's words calmly.

  Xiang Ge immediately shut up.

  Rong Jing looked towards the window, Yun Shang Yue had already gone without a trace. A wisp of moonlight shot in through the window and fell straight onto his body, forming a circle of light. He quietly gazed at that streak of moonlight for a while, then softly said: "It's been ten years since Father King and Mother Queen left!"

  "...is!" Xiang Ge lowered his head.

  Rong Jing continued to remain silent, and Xuan Ge also stopped speaking. The room was quiet, filled with a faintly gloomy atmosphere.

  After a long time, Rong Jingzhong pointed to his forehead and gently rubbed it. After a moment, he put down his hand and seemed to be laughing as he shook his head: "It's been many years since no one dared to touch my things! Hehe..."

  Xuan Ge looked at Rong Jing, her heart racing. The crown prince was so noble, and many young ladies in the capital could only secretly admire him from afar. No one dared to approach him within three steps, let alone touch his belongings? He was like a god in heaven, who would dare to profane him? Only this Shallow Moon Miss was bold enough to dig at the crown prince's head in his own home.

  "It's just a jade pendant, after all it's something external to the body. If she wants it, then give it to her!" Rong Jing lowered his head and took a glance at his empty waist. The jade pendant was the only thing he wore on his body, he dared to guarantee that if today he had worn anything else on his waist, it would have also fallen into her hands. He smiled helplessly, not wanting to say more, and changed the subject by asking: "Can Ye Qingran leave now?"

  "Upon receiving the emperor's decree, Young Master Wang immediately left. The emperor was pressing for urgency, and he didn't dare to delay, as any incident in the Imperial Guards would be a big deal. He couldn't even bid farewell to Miss Shallow Moon properly, only sending a book boy to inform her, who at that time was in your room. So, the book boy passed on the message to Miss Shallow Moon's personal maid, Cai Lian. By the time Miss Shallow Moon returned, she probably already knew.

  Xuan Ge continued, "Young Master, did you have to take action against Young Master Wang in the Imperial Guards for the sake of Miss Shallow Moon?"

  "What? You also think I'm the one who drove away Ye Qingran?" Gong Jing raised an eyebrow.

  "Isn't it?" Xuan Ge was taken aback.

  "No!" Rong Jing shook his head, "I only sent a letter to Grandfather Yun. Even if he wasn't transferred away, Ye Qingran wouldn't dare come looking for her again. The Imperial Guards' matter just happened to coincide with my letter."

  "What a coincidence. I'm afraid Miss Shallow Moon also thought it was your doing." Xuan Ge thought that the prince had already let him take Cloud Old Wangye's letter to Dye Little Wangye, and when Dye Little Wangye saw the letter, he jumped with rage and scolded the prince for being treacherous. But he could only scold, after all, there was the threat of Cloud Old Wangye, if he still wanted to see Miss Shallow Moon in the future, he would never dare to find her again in Xiangquan Mountain. Why did the prince have to take action in the military camp?

  "Do you think there's really such a coincidence in this world?" Rong Jing looked at Xuan Ge.

  Xian Ge was shocked and immediately said: "Could it be that someone else's hand is involved, in order to recall the stain on Young Master Wang?"

  "Hmm, there are people who don't want Ye Lian to cause trouble more than I do." Rong Jing smiled faintly and stood up, his hands clasped behind his back as he gazed out the window at the starry sky, with a bright moon hanging low. His voice had a hint of coolness to it, "Someone who was always seen as dust suddenly becomes the bright moon one day, that kind of change is hard to guard against, how can Ye Tian not be moved?"

  "It turns out that it was the Crown Prince's actions in the military camp!" Xuan Ge suddenly realized, and he also felt that the Crown Prince had changed his opinion of Shallow Moon Miss over the past few days. When he looked at her, his gaze was no longer filled with disgust and dislike, but instead chased after her shadow. However, Shallow Moon Miss was the opposite, and she would avoid the Crown Prince with a look of disgust whenever she saw him. But Xuan Ge couldn't understand, was Shallow Moon Miss still as rough and unrefined as before, or had she become more refined like a bright moon? He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Young Master, in my opinion, Shallow Moon Miss hasn't changed at all, and has even become more rough and unrefined. Where is there even a hint of refinement?"

  "Yes, she's becoming more and more unreasonable. But why did Ye Tian suddenly change his attitude towards her, have you thought about it?" Rong Jing asked with a smile without turning his head.

  "That's not all, Your Highness and Prince Ran jointly intervened in the imperial palace to protect Miss Shallow Moon, which is why the Crown Prince treated her differently. If you and Prince Ran hadn't intervened that day, Miss Shallow Moon would have been locked up in the Ministry of Justice by the Crown Prince. He wouldn't have changed his attitude like this!" Xuan Ge said immediately.

  "Have you ever thought about asking how many women in the world can remain unflappable when faced with a hundred hidden guards and swords pointing at them? How many women can see Night Light's poisonous snake wound someone and still not change color? And how many people have the courage to go to the Ministry of Punishment voluntarily when Night Light and Night Sky are about to clash? And in such a short and tense atmosphere, who can think it through that if Night Sky and Night Light really fight, she will not only bring disaster to the Fire-Watching Pavilion, but also bring the disaster of 'red beauty' that makes the imperial brothers turn against each other?" Rong Jing asked a series of rhetorical questions.

  The strings suddenly fell silent. On that day, he was hiding in the shadows, so he really saw Miss Shallow Moon's calm and composure. In the face of the bloody storm at the time, she didn't even blink an eye. However, admiring her aside, what he thought of was that Miss Shallow Moon naturally relied on the favor of King Cloud of the Cloud King's Mansion and thought nothing would happen to her, so she wasn't afraid. Now that the Crown Prince had said this, he felt that Miss Shallow Moon was too calm at the time.

  "She's... haha, a complete enigma." Rong Jing concluded.

  The strings sang of the time when the monks of Lingtai Temple donned armor and went to battle, saving the emperor. Xian Yue's mocking expression suddenly made her feel that the young master was right. This Miss Shallow Moon seemed real yet fake, truly making it hard for people to see through her. However, she was indeed coarse and lacking in refinement, without any self-awareness as a lady from a good family. She curled up her lips and continued, "The young master probably overestimates this Miss Shallow Moon. In my opinion, all she knows is eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating."

  "Eating and sleeping are also skills. " Rong Jing turned back to look at Xuan Ge, his voice slightly sinking, "Xuan Ge, having followed me for so long, are you still so superficial? I've told you more than once, when looking at people, one must look at their essence, but you're still too narrow-minded."

  Xian Ge felt wronged, his voice extremely low. "I carefully observed Shallow Moon Miss. But what she revealed from the bottom of her heart was all coarseness and pampering, and she even spoke nonsense, asking if there were nuns living in Lingtai Temple, saying that monks and nuns would have a grand wedding? And said that one day monks and nuns could also have a grand wedding. Look at this, does it sound like something a young lady from a good family would say?"

  Rong Jing suddenly smiled, "Is that what she said?"

  "Yes!" Xuan Ge nodded affirmatively.

  "Maybe she's right! Who knows what will happen in the world? It's like this now, but who knows what will happen after a while and everything will be turned upside down. Ye Tianqing never thought that one day he would look at the tail behind him, and Yun Shangyue never thought that one day she would even feel disgusted to look at Ye Tianqing. I also never thought that the first thing I would do when I came out of the house after ten years was to save her from prison from Ye Tianqing's hands." Rong Jing smiled.

  "I have always been puzzled about what happened that day in the Imperial Palace's Guanjing Garden, when the Crown Prince tried to take down Shallow Moon Miss. I didn't report it to you in time, Your Highness. How did you find out and rescue Shallow Moon Miss?" This had always been a mystery in Xuan Ge's heart, and now she finally asked it out loud.

  "That day...” Rong Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of thought, and he smiled: "When I entered the palace, I passed by the Mandarin Duck Pond and happened to see a scene. I found it very interesting, so I took another look. Later, the Fourth Prince appeared, pulling her to go to the Viewing Garden, and I knew that she must have been used by Ye Tianyu to test Ye Tianqing that day, and was likely in trouble. So, when playing chess with the Emperor, I suddenly remembered and saved her."

  "So you had already met Miss Shallow Moon on the day you entered the palace?" Xuan Ge looked at Rong Jing in surprise.

  "Uh-huh!" Rong Jing smiled and nodded.

  "The fourth prince and Miss Asa didn't see the crown prince?" Xuan Ge asked again. Immediately thinking that if the crown prince didn't want to be discovered, others wouldn't be able to find him either, he changed his words: "What did you see? You even saved Miss Asa? I think the emperor's attitude was strange that day too. You're not suitable for saving Miss Asa and getting involved with her. In fact, I think it's not just the court officials who are keeping an eye on the Cloud King's residence and Miss Asa, but also the emperor himself has been keeping an eye on the Cloud King's residence all along. Your actions that day were actually unfavorable to you. The emperor will be suspicious and will focus his attention on you too. After all, you haven't taken over the throne yet, it's not suitable for you to have any involvement or movements."

  "I saw her being confused, and also saw a little girl constantly kowtowing. Rong Jing smiled slightly and said calmly: 'Even if I didn't take action and didn't get involved in anything, the Emperor has been keeping an eye on the Rong Wang Fu and me all these years. In that case, taking action or not makes no difference. However, since I saved her that day, I have never regretted it.'"

  Xuan Ge shut her mouth. Thinking that Shallow Moon was really lucky, she was actually saved by the prince just because she got lost and was seen by him.

  Rong Jing shifted his gaze back to the window and pointed outside at the sky, saying to Xuan Ge: "Come over here, look up at the sky, what do you see?"

  Xuan Ge heard the words and immediately approached Rong Jing, walked to the window and looked out, saying: "A bright moon, stars filling the sky."

  "That bright moon, maybe it's not her now, but how do you know it won't be her in the future? Was the moon round from the very beginning? It was hidden in darkness, then a crescent, then half-moon, then full moon, and now it's round again. Its light shines everywhere, covering the night sky of this land. Can you say that the moon hidden in darkness is not the moon? Can you say that a crescent moon is not the moon? Is only this round moon considered the bright moon?" Rong Jingdao said.

  Xian Ge heard the words and his body shook slightly, he immediately bowed his head respectfully and said: "Your subordinate is foolish, thank you for pointing it out, Young Master!"

  "Uh-huh, as long as you understand." Rong Jing nodded, his voice extremely low, "I look forward to the day when..."

  What about one day? He didn't continue, but Xuan Ge understood. He suddenly looked forward to it too. He believed in the young master's vision and believed that the young master had never made a wrong judgment, so he was even more looking forward to the day when the person who had been buried in dust by the world would suddenly emerge from the dust and become a bright moon, shining brightly like the young master said, illuminating the earth. What a shocking scene it would be! Although now thinking of that unrefined, coarse, and mediocre woman made him feel a bit puzzled, but deep down he still felt that maybe one day she would really make him see her in a new light.

  "Go to sleep! Tomorrow we'll go to Nan Shan." Rong Jing left the window and said to Xuan Ge.

  "Yes!" Xiang Ge retreated downwards.

  Rong Jing walked past the soft couch and saw that the book on it was placed upside down. He thought for a moment about how Yun Qian had been reading with relish, occasionally exclaiming in admiration, and couldn't help but smile. He walked over to the bed, lay down, and waved his hand to extinguish the lamp.

  The western wing is quiet and peaceful.

  The east wing of the courtyard became more lively.

  Yun Piao Yue returned to the East Wing with the jade pendant, and Cai Lian and others immediately came out to greet her. They all stared at her with sparkling eyes, and Cai Lian asked eagerly: "Miss, was the hibiscus fish delicious?"

  "Delicious!" Yun Qian Yue stepped into the house without stopping.

  "I knew it, Jing Shizi's Fu Rong roasted fish must be delicious. If it wasn't, the young lady would have returned long ago, why would she linger for half a day? You must have eaten a lot, right?" Cai Lian followed Yun Qiu Yue into the house.

  "Hmm!" Yun Qianyue hummed, remembering that she had only eaten half a fish and was already full.

  Just now, the book boy who serves Young Master Wang came to pass on a message to Miss, saying that something has happened at the Imperial Camp and Young Master Wang needs to go back to deal with it. There is an imperial edict from the Emperor, so Young Master Wang dare not disobey and left immediately. I'm letting Miss know, tomorrow he won't be able to accompany Miss to South Mountain to see the Magnolia grandiflora.

  "Hmm, I see." Yun Qianyue thought that even if Ye Qingyu didn't leave, he wouldn't dare to come find her to go see Guang Yulan.

  "Miss, are you going to Nanshan to see the Guangyulan tomorrow?" Cai Lian asked.

  "Go!" Yun Qianyue said.

  "That's great, the wishing tree and praying tree of Lingtai Temple are both in Nanshan! Tomorrow Miss will go to make a wish and pray for blessings. I was thinking that if Miss didn't go, only I could go to pray for blessings on behalf of Miss, but after all, it's not you yourself who prays, there's still something missing. You going yourself will definitely be effective." Cailian said happily.

  "Hmph, tomorrow there will be Yong Jing in attendance. With his half-immortal physique standing in a certain place, nothing can go wrong." Yun Qian Yue Leng coldly snorted.

  "Is Jing Shizi also gone?" Cai Lian opened her eyes wide, "Didn't Jing Shizi discuss Buddhist scriptures with Master Lingyin for the past three days of the Qingfu Festival? How could he have time to accompany Miss?"

  "Tomorrow he won't go to discuss the law, but will go to Nanshan to dig and drink wine." Yun Shangyue yawned. Originally having slept for half a day, now she was surprisingly sleepy again. Indeed being with Rong Jing was exhausting for both her mind and brain! That black-hearted dead man!

  "It turns out that Jing Shizi knew that Yan Xiao Wangye had ruined the appointment with Miss, and estimated that he was afraid you would be bored going alone, so he accompanied you. Jing Shizi actually didn't accompany Ling Yin Dashi in order to accompany you, Jing Shizi is really too good to Miss." Cai Lian immediately said happily.

  "If you knew he was afraid that I would cause more trouble and couldn't explain it to Grandfather, so he would prepare to keep an eye on me tomorrow. Do you still think he's too good to me?" Yun Shangyue glanced at Cai Lian.

  "Miss, you're just biased against Jing Shizi. What you did today with Dye Xiao Wangye going to the back mountain to roast fish and almost burning down Xiangquan Mountain was really too reckless. If something had happened today, you would have been locked up in prison by the Emperor long ago. He's accompanying you for your own good, others would be eager to have Jing Shizi accompany them!" Cai Lian scolded Yun Shangyue with a glance.

  Yun Qian Yue thought about Rong Jing, wondering what benefits she had given to this little girl by her side. She actually spoke for him everywhere. She was too lazy to speak again, waving her hand, "Alright, is he alright? I'm the one who doesn't know how to behave. Get out, I want to sleep."

  "Young lady should rest early! Tomorrow I will wake you up early." Cai Lian said immediately.

  "No need to call me, I'll get up naturally when it's time." Yun Qian Yue walked towards the front of the bed.

  Cai Lian also knew the young lady's temper, as long as the young lady herself didn't wake up, tomorrow she might not even wake up if Cai Lian called out to her. She could only put out the lamp for Yun Shang Yue, close the door and retreat.

  Yun Shallow Moon lay in bed, originally very sleepy, but suddenly thought of the scene where Qinglian lightly stained the lotus leaves and danced with a fish in the Xiangquan water today. The green mountains and waterfalls, the clear spring water, the ancient temple and pavilion, the half-branch lotus blooming beautifully, the beautiful people and scenery, the floating posture, the fat fish in hand, the flying spirit... Such a painting is really too good to be true. She couldn't help but hum twice, suddenly pushed open the quilt and sat up. Why not paint it now? In case I forget after a few days. Such a rare beauty, I'm afraid it's hard to see once in a thousand years, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't leave any ink marks?

  She thought of this, put on her clothes and went to the table to light the lamp again.

  "Miss? What's wrong?" Cai Lian hadn't left yet and saw Yun Shangyue lighting up the lamp in her room again, so she immediately asked.

  "It's alright, go to sleep!" Yun Qianyue glanced at the brush, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and said to the outside.

  "Yes, Miss should go to bed early." Cai Lian yawned, she was too excited to come to Lingtai Temple yesterday and almost didn't sleep all night. Today, after playing for a day, she naturally couldn't hold on anymore. Seeing that Yun Shang Yue didn't need her company, she turned around and went to bed.

  Yun Qian Yue dipped her brush in the ink, her movements deft and swift. In an instant, the ink on the inkstone was evenly mixed, even better than Cai Lian's grinding. She spread out the rice paper, picked up her pen, thought for a moment, and began to write.

  The brush moves like a dragon and snake, light as the wind. With hooks, outlines, and paintings, dense ink and light colors, in just a moment, a beautiful woman's beauty scene is completed. Green mountains, springs, waterfalls, ancient temples, pavilions, half-branch lotus, brocade-clad men with jade belts, elegant and unrestrained postures, stepping on lotus leaves, lightly dancing on the river, without any visible pause or ink marks in between. Whoever sees it is a flawless masterpiece that cannot be criticized.

  Yun Qian's eyes sparkled with satisfaction as she nodded, put down her pen, and a smile played on her lips. The stifling anger that Rong Jing and Xuan Ge had pent up in her finally dissipated. She thought to herself that Ye Qingchen was indeed the one who could lift her mood. Too bad he had gone down the mountain.

  Just about to turn off the lights and walk back to the window, I suddenly remembered that he was also very beautiful when killing fish later. Suddenly enthusiastic, I picked up my pen again, and a beautiful picture of a woman killing fish was drawn in one stroke.

  Yun Shallow Moon looked at the two paintings, each with its own unique charm, vivid and lifelike. This time she was satisfied. She turned off the light and walked quickly back to her bed, falling asleep in no time.

  This sleep was extremely sweet and when I woke up on the second day, the sun was already high.

  Yun Shallow Moon stretched comfortably and listened to the sound of Cai Lian's restless movements at the door, thinking that Little Ya Tou was probably getting impatient, but didn't dare call out to her. Instead, she called out to the outside: "Cai Lian, what time is it?"

  "Miss, you've finally woken up, it's already 4 o'clock." Cailian immediately pushed open the door and came in.

  "It's still early!" Yun Shangyue felt refreshed all over, sat up, got out of bed and started washing.

  "Miss, it's still early! Miss Yuqing from the Prime Minister's residence has already arrived and has been waiting for you in the front hall for an hour. I wanted to come call you, but Miss Yuqing said there was no hurry, that she would wait until you woke up. I thought if I came to wake you, miss, you would certainly be unhappy, so I didn't dare." Cailian said with a pout.

  "Huh? She came to wait for me for what?" Yun Shangyue was taken aback.

  "Miss Yu Jing said that she knew that Little King Wang had something urgent to attend to today and rushed down the mountain, so she was afraid that no one would accompany Miss, so she came over to accompany Miss to stroll around Xiangquan Mountain. It's also good to have someone to take care of her. Being alone is quite boring." Cai Lian said.

  "Really!" Yun Qian Yue slightly furrowed her brow. Isn't Yu Jing Hui fun to be with? Didn't she hang out with Rong Ling Lan and Leng Su Li yesterday?

  "Miss, I think Miss Yu Jing is quite good. In the past, Rong Er and the young lady from the Xiao family would often bully you behind your back, but Miss Yu Jing has always been friendly to you and sometimes even helps you out. Most of the ladies in the capital are like Rong Er and the cold young lady, bullying and mocking you, while a few may not bully or mock you but keep their distance from you. Only Miss Yu Jing always greets you with a smile and speaks kindly." Cai Lian said as she helped Yun Shang get dressed.

  "Hmm!" Yun Shangyue nodded. Did Yu Jing know? She recalled the scene when she got out of Rong Jing's carriage yesterday and couldn't help but smile, what an interesting person! That man was black-hearted and ruthless, it wasn't surprising that such a woman liked him, because she didn't know his true nature! She thought for a moment then asked: "Did you tell her that Rong Jing is going to accompany me?"

  "Oh, I forgot. Should I go tell Miss Yuqing about it? Tell her that you're with the young master of Jing and she doesn't need to accompany the miss anymore." Cailian was startled and hastily put down what she was holding, preparing to leave.

  "It doesn't matter. Anyway, we're all going out to have fun, so let's just go together!" Yun Shallow Moon stopped Cai Lian.

  "Miss, I'm afraid it's not suitable for Young Master Jing to go together? How can this be good?" Cai Lian said somewhat reluctantly. She silently scolded herself for being too muddled, how could she have forgotten that Young Master Jing wanted to go to South Mountain with Miss?! She immediately said: "Miss, with Miss Yu Cong present, it might be inconvenient for Young Master Jing and you..."

  "What's inconvenient? We don't have anything to hide!" Yun Shallow Moon gave Cai Lian a white eye, tidied up her clothes, and wrapped a light gauze around her arm. In this era, all women wore such a thing on their arms, it was really troublesome, she had thrown it away several times, but couldn't stand Cai Lian's nagging in her ear that without it, she didn't look like a woman, reluctantly, she had gotten used to it now. She looked at herself in the mirror and ordered: "Serve the meal! We'll have energy to play after eating!"

  Cai Lian beckoned with one hand, and Ting Yu and Ting Xue immediately brought up the dishes.

  After dinner, Yun Qian Yue stepped out and said, "Let's go, call her from the front hall and we'll head to Nan Shan together."

  Cai Lian could only pout and follow behind, thinking that Miss Yu Jing was better than her in every way, and that she would be surpassed by Miss Yu Jing in the end. What if Jing Shizong...

  "You little girl, you're mine, don't even think about going to him, got it?" Yun Shangyue turned around and knocked Cai Lian once, warning: "Especially Rong Jing, remember this. If you ever lean towards him again, I'll sell you off or send you to him."

  Cai Lian was startled, and hastily nodded, "I know. I don't have the good fortune to serve Young Master Jing. From now on, I won't say anything. Anyway, who treats Miss well is clear to everyone, so there's no need for me to say it."

  This is clearly saying that only Yun Shangyue can't see it!

  "Dead girl! That's just because you didn't know he was black-hearted, nobody else knew either." Yun Qianyue cursed and suddenly sighed: "Alas, only Ye Qingran is my fellow traveler!"

  Cai Lian nodded, "Dye Xiao Wang Ye is also very good to Miss."

  "Hmm!" Yun Qianyue nodded in agreement this time.

  The master and servant walked out of the main house towards the front hall while talking.

  Arriving at the front hall, I saw that Yu Jing was indeed sitting in the room. Through the beaded curtain, Yun Shang Yue saw that the woman sat elegantly, with her back straight even when no one was around. Her light white dress was simple yet elegant, and the red hairpin and accessories were matched perfectly, neither too luxurious nor too showy. Her beauty was warm and gentle like water, just right. From a distance, she looked like a delicate sketch.

  Yun Shallow Moon nodded in admiration, such a beauty, just looking at her is pleasing to the eyes.

  "Big sister has finally slept enough, but little sister had to wait." Yujing saw Yun Qian Yue arrive and stood up with a smile. Although her voice was reproachful, there wasn't the slightest hint of impatience or displeasure.

  "I didn't know my sister was coming to find me to play, and I overslept." Yun Qianyue didn't enter the house, beckoning to her, "Let's go! We're going to find that weak beauty."

  " Weak beauty?" Yu Jing walked out of the room, looking at Yun Shangyue with doubt.

  "It's Rong Jing! He said he'd listen to my grandfather today and keep an eye on me so I don't cause any trouble. That annoying guy, luckily you came looking for me, otherwise I'd have to face him all day? Just thinking about it makes me lose my appetite!" Yun Shangyue said with frustration.

  "Haha, so it was true what Moon Sister said about Jing Shizi!" Yu Cong was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed. Looking at Yun Qian's annoyed face, which didn't seem fake, she laughed even more innocently. "Yesterday, you and Dye Xiao Wangye were indeed too reckless, how could you burn fish to eat on Xiangquan Mountain? Especially on a day like today when people all over the world are praying for blessings at Lingtai Temple! If you really did set fire to the mountain, I'm afraid it would provoke the wrath of the gods and the common people. The Emperor would definitely blame you. Grandfather Yun is also doing this for your own good. Jing Shizi is also helplessly watching over you. Sister thinks she's suffocating, who knows if Jing Shizi is even more suffocated than you!"

  Is this saying Rong Jing saw her more annoying than she saw him? Geez! This woman has really hurt her! Yun Shang Yue didn't speak.

  "Jing Shizi and Master Lingyin discussing the Dharma is a rare occurrence in a thousand years, this is a prosperous age. Since Shizi is willing to take care of his sister, it's a good thing that he can bring her to bathe in the Buddha's light. Yesterday, my younger sister went to listen and felt greatly benefited. Originally, I knew that yesterday Xiaowangye had gone down the mountain, so today she definitely couldn't accompany her sister, fearing that her sister would be lonely, I didn't go to listen to the Buddhist sounds again and came to accompany her instead. Since Jing Shizi wants to bring his sister to the Dharma Hall, then it's just right. To be honest, my younger sister still wants to listen to the Buddhist sounds." Yu Cong smiled and said.

  Yun Qian Yue looked at Yu Ning's smiling face, which was as lovely as a flower, and really didn't want to disappoint her. But not disappointing people wasn't her style, so she pouted and said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to listen in today. Because Rong Jing isn't going to Dahma Hall to discuss the Dharma with Master Ling Yin."

  "Isn't Jing Shizi going to Dahmotang and Lingyin Dashi to discuss the law today? Where is he going?" Yu Cong was startled.

  "Yesterday, I had an appointment with Ye Qianran to go to Nan Shan to see the Guang Yu Lan. But that guy had something come up and stood me up, so Rong Jing said he'd accompany me instead. Originally, I didn't want to go, but he said he'd give me some Orchid Flower Wine, so out of respect for the wine, I reluctantly agreed. So, little sister, if you still want to listen to the Buddha's teachings, you'll have to go to Da Mo Tang and listen to Master Ling Yin speak the dharma yourself." Yun Shuoyue sighed.

  "So it was like this!" Yu Cong suddenly lowered her head.

  Yun Shallow Moon looked at her, seemingly smiling but not quite.

  Yu Jing lowered her head for just a moment, then raised it again and smiled at Yun Shang Yue: "Although sister likes to listen to Buddhist teachings, without Jing Shi Zi and Ling Yin Da Shi discussing the Dharma together, I'm afraid it would be much less interesting. Anyway, today sister has decided to spend the whole day with me, and since Jing Shi Zi is here, sister can also take the opportunity to ask him about some Buddhist teachings that she didn't quite understand yesterday. Sister doesn't mind having one more person, does she?"

  "Nature doesn't care, why should I? Let's go!" Yun Qian Yue smiled at Yu Ning, her smile even brighter than his. With this beauty around, would Rong Jing have time to monitor her and annoy her if he was busy enjoying the beauty's favor? Wouldn't that be what she wished for?

  "Then let's hurry up and find Jing Shizi! I'm afraid Jing Shizi has been waiting for my sister for a while." Yu Cong saw that Yun Qian Yue didn't mind at all, thinking about how she had a pleasant conversation with Ye Qing Ran the day before, and was extremely compatible with her, but towards Rong Jing, she had an expression of disgust and annoyance. Her heart suddenly felt relieved, and her footsteps and tone also became lighter.

  "Go!" Yun Qian Yue didn't say another word and strode towards the west wing of the house.

  Yu Jing looked at Yun Qianyue, who was walking in big strides with a completely unrefined and worldly air, and smiled faintly. She thought to herself that Jing Shizi was a man of great stature, and would surely look down on this coarse and worldly woman who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, and didn't understand anything else. It seemed she had worried too much. With this thought, her heart felt even more at ease, and she also drew closer to Yun Qianyue. She lifted the hem of her skirt and took a few quick steps to catch up with Yun Qianyue, saying in a soft voice: "Sister Moon, you're walking too fast!"

  "Is that so?" Yun Qianyue turned her head to glance at Yu Cong, shook her head and said seriously: "It's not that I'm walking too fast, it's just that you're walking too slow! Just like that weak beauty, always with a nonchalant attitude, neither warm nor cold, it's really unbearable to watch."

  "Look at what Moon Sister said, that's your prejudice against Jing Shizong. Jing Shizong is very good." Yu Cong shook her head and suddenly realized: "It's because of the comparison with Xiao Wangye, Xiao Wangye has always been open-minded and straightforward, so sister thinks Jing Shizong is not warm or cold. But in my opinion, Xiao Wangye can't compare to Jing Shizong's stability. They are just different, maybe sister likes men like Xiao Wangye, that's why she doesn't appreciate Jing Shizong."

  "So you like men like Rong Jing?" Yun Shangyue asked with a smile, tilting her head to look at Yu Cong.

  "Oh, what's sister saying! I just think Jing Shizi is good, that's all. In the capital city, who among men and women, young and old, doesn't speak well of Jing Shizi? Sister shouldn't joke around. Yu Cong will be so embarrassed." Yu Cong immediately blushed and lowered her head, though she said this, happiness still outweighed embarrassment.

  After all, no matter how mature or precocious, she's still a little girl! Yuxin is even younger than her in terms of body. Yunshen Yue waved her hand nonchalantly, "What's there to be shy about? If you like someone, you like them; if you don't, you don't! I just like Ye Qingran and don't like Rong Jing. What's wrong with that?"

  "Sister, you can't say such things casually. Where is there a girl who dares to loudly express her liking for a man? She would be laughed at." Yu Cong raised her head, still with a flushed face and spring in her eyes, and looked at Yun Shangyue's innocent face with a hint of reproach, then changed the subject: "However, it's understandable that sister doesn't like Jing Shizi liking Yan Xiao Wangye. After all, Yan Xiao Wangye and sister have similar interests and get along well. The young king has never been hypocritical to the women in the capital, but only treats sister with special care. It's not excessive for sister to like him."

  "Yeah, anyway, Ye Lian is quite good!" Yun Qiu Yue nodded. She never hesitated to praise someone.

  Yu Jing smiled lightly and said no more.

  As they spoke, they arrived at the west wing of the courtyard. Yun Qianyu stopped in her tracks and stood at the door, shouting loudly, "Rong Jing, leave!"

  "Sister, it's impolite to call out to Jing Shizi like that. Let's have someone announce our presence instead!" Yu Cong said immediately.

  "Didn't you see that there's not even an ant in his yard, let alone a person? Who informed us?" Yun Shangyue was somewhat fed up with this woman. If she knew that yesterday she had entered the room and waited for him in Rong Jingwu's house, who knows what would have happened? If it weren't for her being by his side, he would have long since charged in and dragged the person away. The orchid wine buried for ten years, I wonder how good it tastes."

  Yu Jing suddenly stopped talking.

  The two of them waited for half a day, but no one came out from the house. Yu Jing asked Yun Shangyue, "Sister Moon, could it be that Jing Shizi is not here at all?"

  "Rong Jing! Are you dead or what? Are you there? If so, make a sound!" Yun Shangyue yelled impatiently.

  "Sister Yueliang, how can you yell at Jing Shizi?" Yu Cong immediately covered Yun Qianyue's mouth and exclaimed.

  "Huh...” Yun Shangyue forgot that there was still a lady who had infinite admiration for Rong Jing by her side! Hehe, with a smile, he pushed away her hand, winked at her, and looked towards the main house in the middle: "Look, isn't he coming out?"

  Yu Jing put down her hand and followed the sound of Yun Shangyue's voice, and indeed saw Rong Jing walking out of the house with a gentle pace. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe that fit his body perfectly, his figure slender and upright, his steps light and leisurely, like a bamboo or orchid tree swaying in the breeze, exuding an air of elegance and refinement that was hard to put into words, like a poem or a painting. She couldn't help but hold her breath, her gaze fixed on him, unable to move away.

  Yun Qian's eyes rolled back and she muttered under her breath: "This rotten peach blossom!"

  The voice was too small, and Yu Jing, who was closest to her and staring at Rong Jing, naturally didn't hear it. But Rong Jing suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked towards Yun Shangyue, and suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, but returned to normal in an instant, walking slowly towards the door.

  Yun Shallow Moon thought that this person's ears were really sharp! However, she didn't say anything wrong, he was originally a rotten peach blossom.

  Yu Jing saw the scenery of the world! Until Rong Jing walked up close, Yu Jing suddenly woke up, her face turned red, and she lowered her head to give Rong Jing a standard noble lady's courtesy.

  "Let's go!" Rong Jing glanced at Yu Ning, took a step forward and walked on. As he passed by Yun Shangyue, he gazed deeply into her eyes and said softly: "Although it is now the end of May and peach blossoms have bloomed elsewhere, the peach trees in the south mountain of Lingtai Temple in Xiangquan Mountain still have blooming peach blossoms. Since you want to see them, we can take a look later."

  Yun Qian Yue hadn't spoken yet, but Yu Jing had already straightened up and smiled softly: "So sister wants to see not Guang Yulan, but peach blossoms! Jing Shizi said that the temperature of this Xiangquan Mountain is lower due to its high terrain, so elsewhere peach blossoms have fallen, but here they are indeed in full bloom! Sister still has time to take a look."

  Yun Shallow Moon's mouth twitched slightly, and she looked up at the sky silently for a moment before nodding, "Alright!"

  "Let's hurry then!" Yu Jing intimately held onto Yun Shang Yue's hand and quickly followed behind Rong Jing.

  Yun Shallow Moon glanced at Yu Jing's delicate and tender face, which was as red as rouge, and looked down on Rong Jing, who was walking slowly in front of her. This woman is just pretending! With this appearance, she can deceive the world, but only she can see through her true nature without being charmed. How wise and powerful she is, how difficult it is to be like that! Only Ye Qingran understands her.

  "Jing Shizi, yesterday you and Master Lingyin said 'Buddha is enlightenment!' I, Yu Cong, heard it but didn't quite understand. Could you please enlighten me?" The three of them walked a few steps before Yu Cong spoke up in a soft voice.

  Yun Shallow Moon thought about this little girl's topic of getting close!

  "Miss Qin doesn't understand, then it's better not to understand, no need to delve deeper. Buddhist teachings require a Buddha-like nature to suddenly enlighten, if you truly can see through and understand, then you won't be yourself anymore." Rong Jing's footsteps didn't stop, his warm and calm voice came over, one sentence that made Qin Yuxin speechless.

  The clouds were shallow and the moon was hanging low, I felt a sudden tremble all over my body. This black-hearted man! He's gone too far!

  Yu Jing was taken aback, but instead of being annoyed, she felt deeply grateful and hastily let go of Yun Shangyue's hand. She bowed to Rong Jing's back and sincerely thanked him: "The young master is right, fortunately the young master reminded me, it was Yu Jing who was too stubborn and wanted to investigate further."

  The cloud is shallow and the moon has no words. What's this? Obviously, Rong Jing didn't want to tell her!

  "Miss Qin doesn't need to thank me! Since you can understand what I'm saying, it means your comprehension is very high." Rong Jing didn't even turn his head, seemingly unaware of Qin Yuxin's movements, his voice still warm and gentle.

  "Still, thank you, Young Master. If you hadn't pointed it out, Yu Cong would have continued to be stubborn." Yu Cong stood up straight, her gentle voice like warm spring water, soft and smooth, making one's bones feel weak just listening to it.

  Yun Qianyu couldn't help but shudder and took a step back from Li Yu.

  Rong Jing didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard.

  Yu Jing didn't mind either, as if she thought Rong Jing should be like this.

  For a moment, there was nothing more to say. Yu Jing seemed to be at a loss for words as well, only staring at Rong Jing's back, still unable to move her gaze away.

  Clouds shallow moon looked at Rong Jing, a figure like a painting, and then looked at Yu Cong, the beautiful and elegant lady's heart was also very moving, she thought these two were really interesting, walking while kicking stones with her feet. The stones rolled on the ground, she played happily.

  "Be careful not to sprain your ankle, or you'll be lying in bed in the future!" Rong Jing said suddenly.

  "Stop cursing me!" Yun Shangyue glared at him. This man never had anything good to say.

  "Yue sister, you really can't stay idle for a moment. It's hard on you to follow Jing Shizi. If Xian Xiao Wangye were here, he would definitely take you with him and show off your lightness skills again." Yu Cong smiled and covered her mouth as she gazed at Yun Shangyue's back.

  "That's right! If only Ye Qianyu had been stained with it earlier. This dumb guy is really annoying!" Yun Qiande agreed.

  "Don't even think about it, now that the night is lightly dyed in the military camp, I'm afraid you can't even get a sip of water. " Hong Jing turned his head and glanced at Yun Shangyue: "If you feel bored, we can go to the Dahmo Hall, there are many people there, you will definitely not be bored. How about it?"

  "No way." Yun Shang Yue immediately objected.

  "Don't you feel stifled?" Yong Jing asked.

  "I just felt stuffy, but now I don't feel stuffy anymore." Yun Qian Yue said without a hint of embarrassment for her contradictory words.

  "Hmm! You don't feel stifled, that's good." Rong Jing responded with a sound, and then fell silent.

  Yun Qian Yue glared fiercely at his back and continued to kick the stones, making them clatter loudly.

  Yu Jing looked at Yun Qian Yue with a smile and said softly, "So Sister Moon is afraid of Buddhist chants! No wonder you don't even show up at the Dharma Hall. It's not surprising, after all, Sister Moon has never liked learning characters, playing the zither, chess, painting, embroidery, or other feminine pursuits. You only like martial arts and sword fighting. Now that we're here at Xiangquan Mountain, it must be quite boring for you."

  "Yes! I didn't want to come, but that old man at home forced me to." Yun Qian Yue reluctantly said with a gloomy face.

  "Grandfather Cloud is being kind to you, this is a rare good fortune. Bathing in the Buddha's light can pray for the Buddha's blessing, and have a peaceful life. Sister Moon, you should understand Old Master Wang's sincere heart." Yu Cong had an air of being knowledgeable and reasonable.

  "I've grown up just fine without the Buddha's blessing." Yun Shallow Moon disagreed. She was afraid that after being baptized by the Buddha's sound, the Buddha would think she was a monster. Waving her hand, "I don't believe in this!"

  Yu Jing originally wanted to persuade her again, but upon hearing this, she just smiled and said: "Sister Yue doesn't have a Buddhist nature, this is something that comes naturally, there's no way to change it." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Rong Jing and asked: "Rong Shizi, isn't that right?"

  "Hmm!" Rong Jing responded vaguely, her tone unreadable.

  Yu Jing saw Rong Yu's words and responded accordingly, suddenly becoming delighted.

  Yun Shallow Moon pouted, she didn't have a Buddhist nature to begin with, so what's the big deal? She had been ill since childhood and could count on one hand. Who says that without a Buddhist nature, one can't live a peaceful life? However, the only major hardship was when she was blown here by that timed bomb, was it because she didn't believe in Buddha? Did Buddha intentionally let her come here to suffer? No way!

  "I'm afraid you won't be able to stay hidden today even if you want to. Nanshan looks very lively today." Rong Jing said again.

  "Huh?" Yun Qianyue was originally deep in thought, trying to figure out if her presence here had anything to do with the Buddha. But upon hearing this, she immediately broke off her train of thought and looked up, only to see a few people walking out from the intersection ahead. It was Ye Tianqing and Ye Tianyu, but this time, she didn't see Rong Linglan or Leng Suoli. She looked at Ye Tianqing with a scowl, feeling a sense of disgust - why did she keep running into him everywhere? Her face immediately fell, and she turned around to head back the way she came.

  "Sister Moon? Why are you walking back and forth?" Yu Cong naturally also saw Ye Tian Qing and Ye Tian Yun, seeing Yun Qian Yue walking back and forth, immediately reached out to grab her.

  "I forgot to bring something. Go back and get it, you guys go ahead." Yun Qian Yue waved her hand.

  "Isn't the three people following behind us your maidservants? You've forgotten something, just let them go get it, we've already walked so far, why bother going back personally?" Yu Cong looked back at Cai Lian, Ting Yu and Ting Xue who were following at a distance.

  "They can't be found!" Yun Qian Yue shook her head.

  "Where is your personal maid? Can't find her either?" Yu Cong pulled Yun Shangyue's hand tightly.

  "Can't find it." Yun Qian Yue shook her off.

  "Miss, you forgot something? I'll go get it for you right away." Cailian and Tingyu, Tingshuo three people have been paying attention to the movement in front, vaguely heard Yun Shangyue forgot something, hurriedly ran up to come.

  "I forgot... Ah, anyway, you won't be able to find it, I'll just go back myself!" Yun Shangyue was originally making an excuse, and for a moment, she couldn't think of what she had forgotten. She waved her hand impatiently at Cai Lian and strode away. Thinking to herself, what's the point of this little girl having such sharp ears.

  "In that case, I'll accompany you back to get it together!" Rong Jing also turned around and headed back. "Then I'll go with my sister to find it too!" Yu Cong said immediately.

  Yun Qian Yue was too lazy to say more, willing to follow her back anyway! As long as she doesn't see that person Ye Tian Qing, it's all good.

  "Jing Shizi, Yue Meimei, Qin Xiaojie, why do you turn around and leave as soon as you see me and the Crown Prince?" The Fourth Prince's voice came from behind the three people, and he quickly caught up with them after taking a few steps.

  Rong Jing stopped in his tracks, a faint smile on his face. "It's Shallow Moon who forgot something and needs to go back for it. I'm entrusted by Cloud Grandfather to take care of her and prevent her from causing more trouble, so naturally I'll accompany her back to retrieve it."

  "Yu Jing greets the Crown Prince and wishes him well, and also greets the Fourth Prince! Yu Jing turns around and gives a standard polite curtsy to both of them. She smiles at the Fourth Prince and says: "Yes! Judging from Moon's anxious expression, I suppose the thing she forgot is very important. So, Jing Shengzi and I will accompany her to retrieve it."

  "Oh? What could be so important that Little Sister Moon has to say? Tell me, I'm listening." The Fourth Prince stretched out his hand to stop Cloud Shallow Moon, who was about to hurry away without saying a word, and smiled at her.

  "A girl's private belongings, do you also want to know?" Yun Shallow Moon raised an eyebrow.

  The fourth prince suddenly smiled and looked at her small face with a serious expression, saying: "I didn't expect that Sister Yue has also become a woman! I really didn't notice. Alright, since it's your private matter, I won't ask. Then I'll accompany you to get it too."

  "No need! I'll go get it myself, you all don't have to accompany me." Yun Qianyue stretched out her hand and pushed away the Fourth Prince.

  "Looks like Moon Sister is in a hurry, she must have forgotten something important. In that case, let's all go together! Anyway, I and Fourth Brother are free today, we were originally going to North Mountain to find Jing Shi Zi and you, now it just so happens that we ran into each other." Ye Tian Qing slowly spoke up. Just a moment ago, he had heard someone report that Rong Jing, Yun Qian Yue, and Yu Ning were going to South Mountain, he had originally planned to go to the Dahma Hall but changed his mind at the last minute, unexpectedly running into Ye Tian Huan as soon as he left the courtyard, both of them tacitly understanding each other's intentions in intercepting this chance encounter. Unexpectedly, Yun Qian Yue actually turned her head as soon as she saw him, wasn't this clearly showing that she didn't want to see him? His eyes slightly sank, but his expression did not reveal anything.

  "In that case, Your Highness, please!" Gong Jing slightly swept his sleeve.

  The night sky nods its head, without yielding, and walks ahead first.

  "Never mind, it was just last night that I suddenly felt like painting two paintings and forgot to pick them up, no big deal. Don't bother coming back." Yun Qianyue said indifferently, seeing that she couldn't shake off the dog skin plaster anyway, and didn't feel like going back and forth.

  "Huh? A painting by Moon Sister?" Ye Tianyu suddenly became interested.

  "Since it's Moon Sister's painting, we should go take a look together." Ye Tianqing also said.

  "Yu Jing didn't know that Yue Jie also knew how to paint! Just in time, I wanted to take a look too. The sky is still early, and it just so happens that Yue Jie wants to put the painting away too. Why don't we go back together then!" Yu Jing was taken aback, but also smiled.

  Yun Qian Yue suddenly remembered that the owner of this body probably couldn't paint, and she felt a dark cloud passing over her head. She glanced at Rong Jing, seeing that he was expressionless, and then looked away to Night Sky Qing, Night Sky Huo, and Yu Cong, saying: "What painting can I do? It's just random scribbles! Don't waste your eyes on me." After speaking, she urged Rong Jing, "Let's go, let's go, I want to drink the orchid wine you buried ten years ago."

  "Whatever, you can't draw anything good anyway. I won't look then!" Yong Jing nodded and turned around.

  Yun Qianyue thought this man was still tolerable with just these words.

  The night sky was leaning, and the footsteps stopped. The hand in his sleeve clenched for a moment, and he smiled: "It seems that Father's decree to let Mu Han teach Yueliang to recognize characters is correct. In the past, Yueliang never touched those things, but now she knows how to learn by herself. Mu Han is well-versed in both literature and martial arts, so he must be teaching her well. It's not surprising that Yueliang can paint too. Since you've just started learning, let's wait until you've learned it properly before we all go together to appreciate it."

  Yun Shallow Moon seemed to have not heard. She felt nothing for this person anymore. I don't know how the previous owner of this body could like such a person. Was it just because of his identity? Because she was destined to marry him? Bullshit!

  "Haha, fine, if you don't want to look then don't. Jing Shizi was right, it's better that way, or else the things you draw would be unbearable to see." Ye Tian Yu swept a glance at Ye Tian Qing's face, which still had a hint of a smile despite her attempts to suppress it, and burst out laughing. It seemed this little girl had made up her mind to break off relations with Ye Tian Qing. At first, he thought she was just pretending to retreat in order to advance, but now it seemed that wasn't the case after all. However, his good brother, the crown prince, seemed to have taken a liking to the little girl... haha, this is going to be interesting!

  "Yue's sister is extremely intelligent, and with time, she will definitely achieve great things." Yu Cong smiled slightly, but in her heart, she was not pleased with Rong Jing's obedient attitude towards Yun Shangyue. Was it really because of Old Master Yun's entrustment that he had to go to such extremes? Even when Yun Shangyue repeatedly showed disrespect towards him, he didn't seem to mind at all?

  "That's natural, who am I? I'm just uneducated, you wait and see, one day I'll make you all take a big tumble and regret underestimating me. Hmph!" Yun Shangyue turned her head to glance at the three of them with a snort through her nose.

  "Haha, Moon sister has spirit, good, we'll wait and see!" Ye Tianyu burst out laughing.

  The night sky was leaning against the shallow moon, and she didn't notice her nose was pointing upwards. She was kicking stones with one foot while walking unsteadily, her jade pendant swaying back and forth on her head, her arm wrapped in a light gauze fluttering to and fro, forming a strong contrast with Yu Jing beside her. Without half a thread of feminine elegance, she had a kind of ethereal beauty. Yu Jing was a rigid sculpture, while she was the lively spirit. His slightly sunken eyes were tinged with complexity - what did it matter if she knew how to play chess, paint, or do needlework? All women in the capital could do these things; seeing and hearing them too many times made them uninteresting. But now, someone like her, wasn't she more captivating? Why hadn't he discovered that this side of her was actually beautiful and lovely before?

  Yun Jianyue felt a gaze fixed on her back, making her feel increasingly annoyed. The sound of pebbles being kicked grew louder.

  "You won't listen, and when the time comes, don't complain about your aching feet." Rong Jing warned with a glance at Yun Shangyue, saying in a warm tone, "If you don't walk properly again, I'll hit your acupoints. You're probably afraid of that, so behave yourself."

  Are there really acupuncture points in this world?

  Yun Shallow Moon immediately stopped in her tracks, looking at Rong Jing's expression that didn't seem fake. She immediately regained her energy, took a step forward and grabbed his arm, shining brightly as she looked at him, "Hey, you know how to do acupressure? Then teach me, okay?"

  Yu Jing was shocked, her eyes fixed on Yun Qiu Yue's arm holding onto Rong Jing. It was said that the Young Master of the Jing family never allowed anyone to approach within three steps, and no one dared to get close to him either. But Yun Qiu Yue was so rude? Moreover, men and women should not have physical contact, did she want to die? And what's more, she even asked the Young Master to teach her acupoints...

  Ye Tian stopped in his tracks and looked at Yun Qianyue, who was holding onto Rong Jing's arm. His heart suddenly skipped a beat as his phoenix eyes sank deep into the sea of emotions.

  Ye Tian Yu was also stunned for a moment, looking at Rong Jing, seeing that Rong Jing's expression didn't change, while Yun Qian Yue's small face was radiating light, extremely bright and beautiful. In this moment, he glanced at Ye Tian Qing and Yu Cong with his peripheral vision, his eyes flashing slightly, and smiled at Yun Qian Yue: "Sister Moon, don't you know that the honor of acupuncture points is held by the Rong Wang Fu, the Rong Wang Fu's acupuncture technique is unique, the hundred-step acupuncture point transmission is passed down from generation to generation, only transmitted to males not females, only transmitted to the direct line not the collateral line, only transmitted to the main wife not the concubine, and only transmitted within the family not outside?"

  Yun Shallow Moon turned her head to look at the Fourth Prince, with a puzzled expression.

  "Hey, you're letting Jing Shizi teach you some martial arts skills. Aren't you thinking of marrying into the Rong Wang Fu or to him?" The Fourth Prince dropped a bombshell and winked at him.

  The cloud is shallow and the moon is angry, but it's just a point of acupuncture. Is it that complicated? She looked at Ye Tianyun and Yu Jing with a deep expression, it seems that Ye Tianyun said eight or nine out of ten, turned her head to look at Rong Jing, raised an eyebrow, "Do I have to marry you to learn the acupoint technique?"

  Rong Jing looked at her and nodded gently, "Mm!"
