Mù Qīng Gē let out a soft "tsk" and withdrew her gaze from the plump figure, sighing: "A thunderclap on a clear day - this scene is exactly what that phrase describes."
With Shao's arrival, the creek occasionally echoed with women's screams and pleas for mercy.
Mo Qingge adjusted her posture, turning her back to the creek, too lazy to look at that lively and vibrant scene.
Suddenly, in a flash of insight, she saw the branches swaying slightly somewhere in the woods, and among the pink peach blossoms, a corner of yellow gauze appeared.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, Mu Qingge slowly sat up with her legs crossed.
She had a large wine jug pinched between the fingers of her right hand, her left elbow propped on her leg, five fingers clenched into a fist, supporting the side of her face. A lazy and complacent smile spread across her lips as she said to the figure sneaking a peek at her from within the woods: "Come out."
The figure hiding in the shadows seemed to have been startled, causing the flower branches to tremble even more violently.
But after hesitating for a while, she still came out.
As she emerged from behind the peach tree, Mu Qingge only then realized that it was the little princess she had met by chance in the palace that day. However, today there was an additional girl of similar age but with a more cautious demeanor standing beside her.
It must be that this unfamiliar girl is the Qing'er whom Little Princess mentioned more than once.
"Little brother is you!"
When Mu Qing recognized herself, Qin Yilian also recognized her.
After recognizing the red-clothed young man in the painting as the person she had met at the palace that day, Qin Yiluan's pure and large eyes lit up instantly. Her long eyelashes fluttered like a fan several times, and her adorable and invincible bun face burst into a bright smile, as she rushed towards Mu Qingge with her skirt lifted.
"Oh no! Princess!" Qing'er stretched out her hand to stop Qin Yiliang's action, but then quickly covered her mouth after opening it in shock, nervously looking around.
It wasn't until he realized no one was paying attention to him that he secretly let out a sigh of relief and quickly caught up.
"Little brother, it's really you!" A petite figure appeared in front of Mu Qingge, directly kneeling down beside her, tilting her head and staring at her unwaveringly. Her big eyes were clear and clean.
Mo Qing Ge slowly sat up straight, the wine jug in his hand slightly swaying, and asked Xiao Gong Zhu: "What are you doing here?"
"I came with Brother Chen. But he's so boring and doesn't care about me, so I brought Qing'er to stroll around in the woods. When I heard someone's voice coming from here, I came over. Who would have thought that brother would find out." After finishing speaking, her small face fell, revealing a dejected expression.
"Sir... Miss." The young servant who had been chasing after them was probably unable to imagine that his master would have made everything clear in this instant.
Big Brother Chen
Mochou thought back to Xia Gongzhu's words and suddenly had an idea.
The Chen Gege in her mouth must be Xian Wang Qin Jincheng.
Never thought that such an unfeeling person would get close to this innocent little princess.
Qing Er looked at Mu Qing Ge with a vigilant gaze, and suddenly, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. It seemed that she had not expected this young man in red to possess such an extraordinary appearance. Even though she was used to seeing the most beautiful people in the palace, she felt that compared to the young master in front of her, those beauties gathered from all over the world had become ordinary and dull.
In a daze, Qing Er was startled awake by a burst of clear and crisp laughter, only then did she look towards the lively crowd by the stream.
They seemed to have not noticed that there were two more people here and continued to indulge in their playful antics.
The interaction between the fatty and the beauty made Qing Er's face flush. Hurriedly pulling the little princess, urging: "Miss, let's go back. Otherwise, the young master will be anxious."
However, Qin Yilian refused. She pouted and said, "But I've finally met Little Brother. Eldest Brother Chen doesn't know how long he'll play the zither, so he won't be in a hurry."
"Oh dear, miss!" The little princess's frankness almost made Qing Er cry.
She almost blurted out, 'This group of people are no good! Haven't you seen that they're all huddled together over there?'
If something unexpected happens to Princess Yonghuan, she would probably die ten times over and still not be satisfied.
"Miss, let's go. Don't disturb this young master anymore." Qing'er pleaded.
Qin Yilian shook her head again, and even leaned in closer to Mu Qingge: "I won't. Good Qing'er, just let me play with little brother for a while longer, okay? Oh right, I forgot to tell you, last time when I sprained my foot, it was little brother who accompanied me when you went to find the imperial physician."
Qing Er was taken aback.
As a little princess, she naturally wouldn't hide it from her close palace maids when she met Mu Qing again.
So Qing'er knew about this matter. At this time, Little Princess's words, however, raised many speculations for her.
Since this unparalleled young master can appear in the imperial palace, doesn't it mean that his identity is not simple? And he already knows the princess's identity?
Thinking of this, Qing Er secretly let out a breath in her heart.
In her opinion, since the other party is also a person of status and knows the identity of the little princess, they will certainly not have any ulterior motives.
"Little brother, Lianlian invites you to have some candy!" The little princess took out a silk handkerchief wrapped package from her bosom, carefully opened it and handed the sugar cubes inside to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, and when she saw the sugar cube handed over in front of her eyes, she pushed it away before saying to Qin Yili: "You brought a maid with you, indeed shouldn't be wandering around randomly in the forest."
To know that this peach blossom forest is open, anyone can come. Moreover, the scope is extremely wide. If you get lost in it, or encounter some bad people, isn't it like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
That wise king, his heart is also big enough.
The candy that was handed out was pushed back, the little princess's eyes were filled with disappointment, but she didn't give up and instead carefully put the candy back.
"Ling Ling understood." Facing Mu Qing's tone of blame, the little princess still obeyed.
Digression
Today, I'd like to talk about something that's been exhausting for me. I've been cheated! It seems that there's a problem with the comment votes cast from mobile clients. Yesterday, I received a one-star review from an old reader who thought it was unfair. Since this reader is actually very supportive of me, I initially thought it was a misvote. Thinking that I should pay attention to the ratings for new articles, I decided to vote a few more times to bring the rating back up. However, unexpectedly, all the five-star votes I cast from the client became one-star votes! I ended up voting over 20 one-star votes for myself (I want to die!). In the end, I spent several hundred yuan casting votes from the webpage to bring the rating back up a bit. Waaaahhh... I'm so exhausted that I don't even love it anymore. To all my dear readers, please be careful when voting on reviews, and don't get cheated like me! PS: I've already reported this issue to the editor for handling, but I don't know when it will be resolved.
