~ I ALSO LIKE HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS YUE WANG ~
Mu Yunyao leaned on the quilt to stabilize her body, raised her head, and looked at Yue Wang with some annoyance, “Did you do it on purpose?”
Her clear eyes were tainted with water, and her questioning voice had a hint of softness to it. Yue Wang looked at her. When he heard her, he felt as if he had been lightly stepped on by a cat’s paw, “Mm, that was intentional.”
Mu Yunyao became more and more annoyed, her eyes widened, and she glared at him.
When Yue Wang saw those beautiful eyes, he felt as if he was bewitched. His heart thumped hard, feeling that the quilt in the middle was getting in his way.
He leaned forward slightly and smelled the fragrant scent of her purple incense, which was used to smoking. The taste was fresh and elegant, with an indescribable sweetness warmth, just like her lips that were slightly parted at this moment. If you touch it, can it also be sweet and warm to people’s hearts?
Behind them, a salutation suddenly rang out, “Greetings, Miss Xu. It’s dark, and the road is slippery, so slow down your steps.”
Mu Yunyao seemed to be frightened and directly threw away the brocade quilt in her arms. She didn’t care if Yue Wang could catch it or not, then she turned around and walked into the room.
A deep pity flashed through Yue Wang’s heart. Following that, the aura around his body turned cold as he looked at Mu Yunyao’s back. He then carried the quilt in his arms and walked towards his own room.
Seeing that Yue Wang was about to leave, Xu Qi quickly took two steps forward: “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang, have you prepare the bedding? I have new ones that I haven’t used yet, if Your Royal Highness needs them....”
“No need.” Yue Wang coldly threw down the two words and quickly left.
Xu Qi stood in the same spot for a long time before she walked into Mu Yunyao’s yard with a smile on her face.
Just now, Mu Yunyao had also heard the maid’s voice greeting Xu Qi. After returning to her room, she hadn’t seen her return for a long time, so she had a few guesses in her heart. Could it be that she was talking to Yue Wang....?
After a long while, Xu Qi finally walked into the room with a smile on her face. She asked the maid to serve her to change her clothes and freshen up as she rubbed her fingers to keep warm, “The weather is really too cold. It has been several years since such a heavy snowfall. I just saw that Little Sister Yunyao gave the quilt to His Royal Highness Yue Wang. Thus, I asked someone to got a new bedding, just for Little Sister to use. Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to bear it at night.”
Mu Yunyao looked at the smile on her face, so she couldn’t directly refuse. “I originally wanted to let Jin Lan and Jin Qiao prepare it, but since Elder Sister Qi has already given the orders, I won’t have to do anything about it.”
Xu Qi changed his clothes and sat down beside the charcoal pot to keep herself warm. “Now, even with a heater, a furry coat, and a maid who served us hot soup and hot water, we still feel very uncomfortable. His Royal Highness Yue Wang stayed in a bitter and cold place like Western Guangdong. I don’t know how he managed to survive so many years. Look at me... I couldn’t hide the matter in my heart, so unknowingly, I revealed the thoughts in my heart. Little Sister Yunyao wouldn’t mind, right?”
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at the impeccable smile on Xu Qi’s face. The trace of a smile on her lips deepened as she said, “Listening to Sister Qi’s words, she mentioned His Royal Highness Yue Wang several times. Could it be that you have a good impression of His Royal Highness Yue Wang?”
Xu Qi’s face immediately turned red. She lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand vigorously, “To be honest with Little Sister Yunyao. I really like His Royal Highness Yue Wang. I know that the moment I say these words, I don’t know how many people will think that I have no sense of shame, but I don’t want to be distort my mind for the sake of the outside world. Little Sister Yunyao, you’re not laughing at me, are you?”
Mu Yunyao took a short breath, and an extremely complicated emotion flashed in her eyes. She didn’t know if Xu Qi had said those words to her on purpose. However, she felt panic in her heart after hearing what she had said, which made her suddenly recall the Lady Poison Lady from Jin Palace: She betrayed her master for her beloved person, poisoned the master, ruined their appearance, and would never have children again in the future.……
However, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked the Poison Lady if she regretted it. She went mad with drunkenness, and her laughter seemed to have added the world’s most potent poison, but the words that came out of her mouth were only two: “I don’t regret it....”
Mu Yunyao’s voice was slightly absent-minded, “It’s rare to see Elder Sister Xu Qi’s intentions. How could I laugh at you?”
Xu Qi smiled brilliantly and said, “As long as Little Sister doesn’t laugh at me, it’s good that she doesn’t tease me. It’s just that Yue Wang’s personality is cold, and the expression on his face is always unapproachable. I want to step forward and say a few words of flattery, but I can’t find a chance. However, I think His Royal Highness treats Little Sister very well. If you have the opportunity, can Little Sister help me?”
Mu Yunyao slowly closed her finger, her breathing stagnated slightly, and after a while, she shook her head slightly. “I’m really sorry, Elder Sister Qi. I also like His Royal Highness Yue Wang, so there’s nothing I can do to help you.” When this “like” word finally came out, it was not as difficult as I had imagined, but rather a great relief.
Xu Qi raised her head in surprise and looked at Mo Yunyao with incredulity, “Little Sister Yunyao is joking, right?”
“I didn’t understand my mind before, but now after Sister Qi mentioned something, I have figured it out a little bit. If you like it, why bother to the gossip of the outside world?” God made her secretly feel affection before she learned of her existing relationship with Yue Wang. She couldn’t change it, and she couldn’t bear to deny it.
“You....” Xu Qi’s smile stiffened, but in the blink of an eye, she had changed back to her hearty and generous look before, “His Royal Highness Yue Wang is just like a pearl. I won’t be the only one who sees the light he radiates. The first time I saw Little Sister Yunyao, I felt that we were exceptionally similar. I didn’t expect that we even looked at the same people. Although I am a year older than Yunyao, logically speaking, sisters should be modest towards each other. But towards Yue Wang, I will never given up on him, and I hope that Little Sister Yunyao does not become distant with me because of this.”
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at Xu Qi. At this moment, she couldn’t figure out what this person was thinking. What did she think before she could say what she had just said? However, she was not in a hurry to find out. There was always a chance in the future.
“It’s getting late. The two of us should rest early.”
“Sure.”
Mu Yunyao finally figured out her thoughts and slept exceptionally peacefully the entire night. The following morning, she woke up early and looked outside the window as soon as she got dressed.
The heavy snow had stopped. Overnight, the ground was covered in a thick layer of white, and the snow at the entrance was almost a foot deep. The morning sun rose, and the snow shimmered like crystal. The clear light is reflected in the eyes, so beautiful that one cannot help but relax their breathing.
Such beautiful scenery, yet Mu Yunyao didn’t have the mood to admire it. She secretly snorted in her heart: Didn’t Yue Wang say that he would make a snowman for her to see? There were no footprints on the ground, so where was the snowman?
After Mu Yunyao and Xu Qi got up, some monks came over. They asked if they could clean up the snow in the courtyard.
The monks moved quickly. In a short time, they had cleaned up the yard of snow. Seeing the snow being shoveled away bit by bit, Mu Yunyao’s expression became even gloomier. After greeting at Grand Princess Yi De’s yard, she was pulled to the side and couldn’t calm down as she talked.
“What’s the matter? Didn’t you get a good rest last night?” Looking at her listless appearance, Grand Princess Yi De was very worried.
“It’s all right, Grand Princess. There’s no need to worry about. Where’s His Royal Highness Yue Wang? Why haven’t I seen him pay respects?”
“He has already been here, and the sky was still dark at that time. He only asked the maid to remember to inform me that he had matters to attend to in the Capital and went down the mountain very early.” The Grand Princess Yi De looked at Mu Yunyao’s expression and sighed slightly in her heart. It seemed that her obedient granddaughter was about to be taken away.
