Chapter 46: Exquisite Splendid Pavilion
For Banxia's words, Rong Ruo seemed very unimpressed, letting her be watched like a vase waiting to be sold, and she was respectful and insensitive.
Somehow, I remembered a sentence that came to my mind when I saw the panda, I can obviously rely on my strength to eat, but I make a living by selling cuteness.
Thinking about the clumsy clump into a round huge object, Rong Ruo's first reaction was not cute, she licked her lips, pampered animals should generally have very tender meat, maybe there is a bamboo fragrance when roasted on the fire, that taste, tsk!
Banxia looked at the expression on Rong Ruo's face suspiciously, and Miss's smile was good...... Wretched.
Rong Ruo touched his nose, cleared his throat and instantly returned to his serious face: "A draft champion, how powerful can it be?" β
Banxia blinked, and she said, how could Miss show such a strange smile, she must have seen it wrong.
"Then the entire young lady in the capital has been defeated by you, who else dares to make irresponsible remarks when you see it."
Rong Ruo bit the front teeth on the apple and relaxed, and raised his eyebrows: "What, now someone is talking about me behind my back?" β
Banxia pouted: "A little." β
Rong Ruo shrugged: "Whatever they want." β
"Miss!" Banxia stomped his feet, and there was a kind of indisputable indignation.
Rong Ruoga took a bite of the apple, chewed and chewed, and said vaguely: "You think it's so easy to take the leader." β
Banxia clenched his fists: "I believe that Miss will definitely be able to!" β
Rong Ruo shook his head, this kid is naΓ―ve. You know, this kind of competition is held once a year, and those famous daughters have not to riveted enough to prepare at home.
Besides, listening to the meaning of Liu Siyi's words today, it seems that he especially hopes that Rong Ruo will participate. Rong Ruo figured out with a slight turn in his mind that as long as he won the top spot, it would be a wordless humiliation to all the other losers.
Rong Ruo didn't offend Liu Siyi, but she knew that her fiancΓ© was really too ostentatious, and she had offended all the ladies in the boudoir to be married almost overnight.
Of course, not only Liu Siyi, Rong Ruo believes that there are many other people who have the same purpose.
The most important thing is that Rong Ruo really has no interest in this kind of competition.
"Miss, I'm talking to you, do you listen?"
Rong Ruo chewed the last bite of flesh in his mouth and swallowed it, stood up and walked out, hiding from Banxia's nagging.
"Miss, where are you going?"
Rong Ruo threw the apple core back: "Take a walk!" β
got rid of the magic sound of Banxia in his ears, and let him walk casually.
However, not long after leaving the small courtyard, a few hundred meters away, I saw a personable figure.
The boy in blue walks leisurely, with an outstanding demeanor, walking among the flowers, which is better than a cluster of hibiscus by the lake.
However, when Rong Ruo saw this person at first glance, he covered his mouth and burst out laughing.
When I heard laughter over there, I also looked at it with a smile: "Yo, second sister-in-law." β
Rong Ruo couldn't help but think of what Hu Xiaoqi said, and he couldn't help but fantasize about the scene of Chu Feng and Mu Beichen hugging in his mind, and he was trembling all over, and goosebumps were about to rise.
Chu Feng looked at Rong Ruo with a strange expression on his face, and blinked: "Second sister-in-law, you are not happy to see me, you don't have to show it on your face, right?" β
Rong Ruo hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no." β
Chu Feng shook his fan: "Second sister-in-law, have you received the invitation?" β
"yes, got it."
"Second sister-in-law, you have to thank me, when I drew up the list above, I specially added your name."
When Rong Ruo heard this, it turned out that this was still Chu Feng's ghost, and he pulled his face: "I really thank you." β
Chu Feng looked at her obviously not happy, she was still suave, and said with a light smile: "Second sister-in-law, you don't know my good intentions." β
"Then tell me, what are you doing with your heart?"
"Let the second sister-in-law be a blockbuster, and she will be stunning in Beijing."
Rong Ruo Wangtian: "I'm not a chicken, how can I crow?" β
If Chu Feng hadn't been taught aristocratic etiquette since he was a child, and he had cultivated well on weekdays, he would have laughed a long time ago.
"Believe me, with the talent and appearance of the second sister-in-law, she will definitely overwhelm the group, and when the time comes, I will not grasp the second brother's heart tightly." Saying that, Chu Feng raised his eyebrows at Rong Ruo: "I can also get this cup of wine as soon as possible." β
Rong Ruo sighed: "It's hard for you to be so thoughtful." β
"You're welcome."
"What's the point of this saffron painting?"
Chu Feng closed the fan, tapped his palm one by one, raised his eyebrows and said: "Second sister-in-law doesn't know, this saffron painting is for those unmarried daughters, after all, there are not many popular sons like me in the capital, and these celebrity daughters are embarrassed to directly squeeze through the threshold of my family, so I thought of a way to hold this kind of competition to attract people's attention." β
"I think you're interested."
"Appreciating beauty is a kind of taste, beauty is picturesque, and it doesn't hurt to take a few more looks."
"I don't participate, don't they all say that they are unmarried, and it is not suitable for me." The actual reason is that Rong Ruo heard that it was better than singing and dancing, and it was okay to ask her to play the piano, even if she danced, her left and right hands were not coordinated.
Chu Feng's beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed, and he smiled evilly: "Second sister-in-law, you haven't married my second brother yet, you still have a chance to empathize with each other." β
Rong Ruo trembled, stood on tiptoe, and beckoned behind Chu Feng: "Hi, Mu Beichen~"
Chu Feng's face immediately changed in fright, and he quickly turned his head, and the back was empty, where did he come from.
"Hahahaha......" Rong Ruo burst into laughter.
Chu Feng opened the fan, shook the fan and shook his head: "Second sister-in-law, you are too unrighteous enough." β
"Anyway, I won't participate, you can find someone else." Rong Ruo put his hands behind his back and walked all the way forward.
Chu Feng's eyes were on Rong Ruo's slender back, his black eyes lost concentration for a moment, and then quickly returned to his original expression, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, I'm afraid it's too late if you don't agree, the list of the competition has already been handed in." β
Rong Ruo took a deep breath, turned his head, strained his delicate little face, compared his fists to Chu Feng, and then left angrily.
Chu Feng stood in place and shook his head and smiled, this second sister-in-law who was found halfway was getting more and more interesting.

Duanwangfu
Mu Liangcheng sat at the desk, his face gloomy, and his eyes gloomy.
The black-clothed subordinate in front of him was replying: "Lord Wang, Chang Zhen is gone." β
Mu Liangcheng flicked his sleeves angrily, and everything on the desktop was swept to the ground, but this was obviously not enough.
So, he walked over again and kicked his men to the ground: "Rubbish! β
The black-clothed subordinate got up from the ground, and immediately half-knelt and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, as long as Chang Zhen is still alive, even if the subordinates dig three feet into the ground, they will come out sooner or later!" β
Mu Liangcheng bit it and smiled coldly: "After this king is killed by the crown prince or Mu Beichen, will you burn Chang Zhen to me again?" β
The black-clothed subordinate hung his head in shame.
Mu Liangcheng put one hand behind his back, his eyes sank, his expression changed a few times, and asked, "How is my mother now?" β
"Concubine Hui is suffering a little at the moment, and she is waiting for the prince to find a way."
Mu Liangcheng furrowed his brows and clenched his fists tightly: "Let this king know who is planning behind this king, this king will make him worse than death." β
"Lord Wang, do your subordinates think that it will be the prince's own bitter trick?"
Mu Liangcheng raised his hand and touched the windowsill, his eyes falling into contemplation.
"Lord Wang, you have always fought against the prince, and in recent years, there have been more and more ministers who have supported you, and my subordinates have heard that the prince has been taking the opportunity to deal with you before, and this time ......"
Mu Liangcheng raised his right hand and waved: "This king knows." Then, he sneered: "Mu Jingyu thought that he could knock me down in this way, it's ridiculous." β
"That'...... Lord, ...... our previous plan? β
Mu Liangcheng's slender fingers curled and tapped the windowsill lightly: "Black dove, this king has one more thing to worry about." β
The black dove is Mu Liangcheng's henchman, the most loyal person in the world.
"Does the prince mean King Jing?" The black dove stiffened his face and reacted in an instant.
Mu Liangcheng nodded slowly: "Mu Beichen suddenly returned to the palace and brought back a fiancΓ©e of unknown origin, and it was this fiancΓ©e who cured Mu Jingyu's illness, you say, should this king have any doubts." β
The black dove's eyes widened: "Lord Wang, you mean, maybe King Jing and the crown prince have united?" β
Mu Liangcheng pulled a sneer on his lips: "It's not impossible." β
"I'll send someone to keep an eye on King Jing's side right away."
Mu Liang turned sideways, the sunlight shone in from the windowsill, fell on his back, casting a dark shadow on the ground, and his tall body gave people an invisible pressure.
"Well, keep a low profile these days, don't let my father find out. Also, for that matter, the king wants to change his plan. β
The black dove was puzzled: "What does the prince want to do?" β
A sneer full of calculation appeared in Mu Liangcheng's eyes: "Since Mu Beichen is back, this king plans to give him a gift." β

Linglong Splendid Pavilion, a place where all the daughters of famous families in the capital gather and chat on weekdays.
A purple figure hurried through the pavilion corridor, stepped up the staircase on the third floor, and finally stopped in front of an elegant door.
"Open!" Zheng Jiaren turned her head, looked at the maid beside her, and shouted angrily.
The maid raised her hand to push open the door, and the people inside looked up at the same time.
It was a spacious inner room, different from the usual rooms, and it was too large, and the entire third floor was just one room.
There are no walls in it, but screens are used to divide it into various small spaces, some with pianos, some tables with chessboards, other soft cushions, and a small coffee table with various fruits and pastries.
Zheng Jiaren walked in, and someone greeted her: "Beauty, you are late." β
"Hmph, I thought you didn't want me to come." Zheng Jiaren's red lips hooked up a bewitching smile, and her eyes swept towards Sun Jingyu and Liu Siyi with deep meaning.
Liu Siyi drank tea with a cup, and smiled lightly when she heard the words: "Beauty, you came just in time, we are discussing the matter of safflower painting this time." β
Zheng Jiaren randomly picked a place to sit down, raised her hand to support her side face, and snorted: "Liu Siyi, let me ask you first, what happened between you and Sun Jingyu last time in the palace." β
"We're just telling the truth." Liu Siyi elegantly lifted the teapot and personally poured a cup for Zheng Jiaren and handed it over.
Sun Jingyu had a soft temperament, leaned on Liu Siyi and nodded: "That girl really didn't mean it, beauty, why should you get along with others." β
"Yo, it's not you who dares to beat you, so you can talk big, right?"
Sun Jingyu pursed her lips and stopped talking.
The other ladies listened in a fog: "What's the matter?" β
"Yes, Siyi, beauty, you have a conflict?"
