She got off the car and walked, Mu Ge didnt bring a group of people like she used to with Mu Qing Ge, swaggering down the street. This time, she didnt even bring a single servant or follower.
Seeing him like this, Qin Jinhuang also brought only one guard to follow.
Bai Taixue, who was also invited to join them, followed behind the two with a light gauze veil covering her face and wearing a flowing white dress that seemed to shimmer in the light. Her personal maid, Lüzhī, closely guarded her on either side, helping to block out some of the prying eyes that were openly or secretly staring at her from all directions.
Mu Ges gaze swept over Bai Tuyets appearance, which was like a startled little deer, and she felt somewhat disdainful.
Bring her out, Mu Xiong was somewhat disagreeable, and even the two little maids eyes were filled with disapproval.
But she didnt change her words.
She actually wanted to see what would happen between Bai Tuyet Nguyet and Qin Jin Huan under her instigation. Moreover, last night Bai Tuyet Nguyet still showed concern and worry in front of her, but today when she saw Qin Jin Huan, her eyes seemed to be nailed to him.
This young orphan who had been taken in by the Mu family was harboring some kind of ulterior motive in her heart, and it was this that Mu Ge found intriguing.
Not just Bai Suoyue, Qin Jinghaos behavior was also somewhat strange.
His cold and icy demeanor made him seem like a man who didnt care about women. But, he had clearly shown pity towards Bai Suoyue, yet pretended to be indifferent.
"Tsk tsk, what hypocritical people! Neither Bai Suoyue nor Qin Jinhao can make Muge Tian Sheng like them."
Perhaps her personality is more suitable for those who are straightforward and sincere.
Luoyang has nine main streets, which are considered the main roads. From these, numerous streets extend out in all directions, like a spider web surrounding the imperial palace at the very center.
Zheng Street is the most prosperous section of Luo Du. Many famous businesses are located here, so Zheng Street can be said to be a commercial district on earth, and its also a high-end one.
The annual income of an ordinary family is probably not enough for a meal at a restaurant on Main Street.
Following Qin Jinghao out, it wasnt that Mu Ge was after his gifts. She just wanted to figure out why this high-and-mighty man spoke to her in such a gentle tone.
Wouldnt his unusual attitude towards her stir up ripples in Zeng Qinghongs heart?
Mu Ge slightly turned her head, looking at the transparent shadow following her. Indeed, her eyes had been fixed on Qin Jinghao since they left the Mu residence.
She shook her head silently, and Muge didnt dare to agree with Mugelights way of looking at people.
Indeed, Qin Jingyu has a noble air about him, and his appearance is handsome and elegant, with a strong and resolute face. He is a rare beauty among men. Moreover, as the son of an emperor, even if he doesnt become the emperor himself, he will still be a king.
Such a man is in line with the fantasy of a perfect husband in a girls heart.
But how could such a person be someone with deep feelings? At least, from the few times Mu Ge and Qin Jue had interacted, even when he showed concern for her, she still couldnt see any warmth or sincerity in his eyes.
Everything is just a show for the sake of achieving a goal.
Falling in love with someone like this is destined for misfortune. Mu Qing Ge is the same, and even Bai Qi Yue with her ambiguous attitude is no exception.
Qin Jinhaos heart will never stay with one woman.
How can these foolish women fail to see such a shallow truth? Mu Ge sneered in her heart. But she forgot that not everyone was as detached as she was.
"What does Muge want, its not good for us to wander around the street like this." Suddenly, Qin Jinhao stopped in his tracks and asked Muge softly.
Mu Ges footsteps followed him, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
That bewildered gaze, clear and transparent yet with a hint of coolness in his eyes, inexplicably made Qin Jinhaos heart skip a beat, and his normally orderly heartbeat suddenly became chaotic. It seemed that the face before him, which always showed infatuation towards him, wasnt so annoying after all.
"Whats wrong?" Mu Ge asked, puzzled. Just strolling around the street, was she affecting the cityscape or was it a law of the Qin state that prohibited the young master of the Mu estate from walking in broad daylight?
Mo Ges rhetorical question brought Qin Jing back to his senses. He didnt immediately respond to her words, but instead slightly furrowed his brow, seemingly puzzled and displeased with his earlier loss of control.
Jian Rui Wang fell silent, and Bai Xi Yues eyes turned as she stepped forward a few steps closer to the two of them. She said to Mu Ge: "Brother Mu, have you forgotten your reputation in this Luodu?"
Reputation?!
Her gaze flowed to Bai Taixues body, her eyebrows carrying a sarcastic tone: "My reputation? Is it being arrogant and domineering, or bullying the good and fearing the evil? Or is it having a twisted personality, easily getting angry and violent? Or is it... I like men?" As she spoke, Mu Ges line of sight fell on Qin Jianhaos body, seemingly unintentionally.
"How could Brother Mu say such things about himself?" Bai Suoyue was shocked, covering her mouth with her hand as a thin layer of mist quickly gathered in her eyes. It seemed as if the person described by Mu Ges words was herself.
Qin Jinhaos body stiffened for a moment at the last glance of Mu Ge, and a hint of anger flashed across his cold, hard facial features. However, he concealed it too well, and people who hadnt received strict training couldnt detect even half of it.
"Qing Ge is talking nonsense again. The brotherly love between you and me, how can outsiders understand? Dont let some rumors ruin the mood." Qin Jinhao said with a strong sense of disgust.
His words seemed normal, but if you savor them carefully, they can make your heart ache. Fortunately, she wasnt a naive person and wouldnt secretly feel sad because of his seemingly relieving words.
Its just pitied that there is a lingering soul around me.
"Yes! Brother Mu, what Xueyue said just now wasnt those indecent rumors. Could it be that Brother Mu has forgotten? You have the reputation of being the number one beauty in Luodu. Look, as soon as you come out, everyone is looking over here at us, and Rui Wang is worried about making you unhappy, so..."
"Are you sure theyre not looking at you? Im a young master, the most handsome in Luojing! Hmph, what a joke." Mu Ge interrupted Bai Tuyues words impatiently. Suddenly, it provoked Little Green Tea to have tears in her eyes and pout with grievance.
Suoyue hid her feet under the hem of her skirt, lightly tapping them, and said with a pouting lip: "Muge laughs at me, Suoyues willow-like figure, how can it compare to yours? Besides, besides, Suoyue covers her face with a veil, who knows my appearance?" The natural charm that flowed from her awkwardness was like a flower bud that had been kissed by the dew, and Qin Yus heart skipped a beat as he watched.
"You dont understand, sometimes the mysterious feeling of holding a pipa half covering ones face can spark even more interest." Mu Ge smiled ambiguously and slightly raised an eyebrow at her.
Bai Shaoyues face turned red after being spoken to by her, and when she looked around at the eyes of others, it seemed as if they were really looking at themselves, not Mu Qingge.
"That teahouse up ahead isnt bad, why dont we go there to take a break. After Qingge thinks about what she wants, well go." Qin Jinhao suddenly made the decision. Having said that, he didnt let anyone refuse and led the way to the teahouse at the intersection.
Bai Shaoyue looked at Mu Ge and then at Qin Jinhao, finally biting her lip and following them.
Watching the two people leave, Mu Ge asked in a barely audible voice: "Whats with the number one beauty of Luo Du?"
This sentence is obviously asking about Mu Qingge.
A transparent figure, a faint smile: "That was just four or five years ago. At that time, I was still naive and hadnt become so arrogant and domineering, my temperament hadnt changed yet. Because once during the Empress Dowagers birthday banquet, I was strolling around the palace and happened to pass by a flowerbed, but didnt expect the originally budding flowers to suddenly bloom, and even attracted countless butterflies. This strange phenomenon naturally caught the attention of the various big shots in the palace. At that time, the Empress Dowager saw the strange phenomenon from afar and sighed to the people around her: This imperial palace is full of rare flowers and treasures. Originally not yet at the peak of blooming, but because of the young master of the Mu family, they are competing with each other to bloom. It can be seen that our young master of the Mu family is indeed a rare beauty in the world, worthy of being called the number one beauty of Luodu. Even the flowers cant help but compete with him! Afterwards, this phrase spread out, and every time I went out, it would attract many curious glances."
Mo Ge was stunned, and the origin of Luodus number one beauty was too mysterious. Why did it remind her of Empress Wu Zetian of the Great Zhou Dynasty strolling in the garden on a cold winter day, ordering all the flowers to bloom?
Others, like Wu Hou, at least issued an imperial edict to threaten her. What about Mu Xiao Jue? Nothing needs to be done, just standing there is enough.
"Cough cough, and then, will such a strange phenomenon happen again?" Mu Ge asked curiously.
Mu Qingge gave her a glance: "I dont have that kind of leisure time." As she said this, she smiled self-deprecatingly: "Later on, my reputation as a young master gradually rose to prominence, and its actually made people forget about my appearance, only remembering that Im the number one bully in Luodu."
The song has no words.
"Today, if it werent for King Rui accompanying you out, you would have definitely seen another strange sight," Mu Qingge said with a smile.
"What?" Mu Ge asked subconsciously.
"Mu Qingge raised his chin and said: Ten thousand people avoid you like a snakes skin, and the main street of Luo Du becomes an empty alley."
Mogao Yu died.
……
In the teahouse, Qin Jingyuan was in a elegant room, and had already prepared delicate tea snacks for Mu Ge, who came last. Such thoughtfulness, how many sentimental young girls could resist?
Especially such things, its better for a cold-faced prince to do them.
No sooner had Mu Ge entered than she received Bai Suoyues jealous and resentful, yet subtle and veiled gaze.
Bai Shaoyue did not take a seat, but instead took over the tea scoop from the teahouses tea master and took charge of brewing the tea.
As for drinking tea, Mu Ge didnt have much interest in it.
She sat lazily across from Qin Jin Huan, fiddling with the teacup in her hand, waiting for his next words. Having accompanied him for so long, she didnt believe this man still had the patience to continue enduring without speaking.
As expected, when the first pot of tea was ready, after pouring it for both of them, Qin Jiu slowly opened his mouth: "Qing Ge, this time you were quite frightened. Its all He Chengs fault, but he also didnt mean to do it. He was locked up in the Mu manor by Old Master Gong, and his father asked me several times to intercede on his behalf, but I didnt bother to pay attention. However, since youve returned safely this time, why not just let him go? It would also make things easier for Old Master Gong at court."
Have you finally said your true intention?
Mu Ge sneered inwardly. Who came to visit her and buy gifts to calm her down? It was all just to get her to let go of He Cheng.
"Even if Grandfather doesnt allow us to kill He Cheng, we cant let him off so easily!" Suddenly, a voice full of hatred came from beside Mu Ge.
Muge felt a little surprised, she had originally thought that Qin Jinhao would speak up personally and Mu Qingge would soften her heart.
"Whats going on..."
"Big Brother Mo, Big Brother! Are you inside? I heard youre inside, Ive come in!"
Before Mu Ge could respond to Qin Jinghao, a male voice in the midst of puberty change interrupted. As the sound faded away, the door to Ya Jians room was pushed open, and the guard from Rui Wang Fu immediately drew his sword, pointing it at the newcomer.
Qin Jinhao, who was interrupted while talking to Mu Ge, also frowned and the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees.
Only Mokka, unfamiliar with the owner of the voice, looked towards Mokkas light song, but only saw her strange expression...
