Chapter 26: Let's Go Picking Fruit
Mu Lingkong entered the fruit forest and separated from Meng Ruyue. Meng Ruyue was lazy and didn't want to move, so she spread a white blanket on the edge of the forest, eating the fruit freshly picked by the maid, while waiting for Mu Lingkong to come back.
The fruit in the orchard was full of branches hanging from the branches, she looked at it at random, there was nothing she wanted to pick, so she walked a distance into the depths of the forest, and then when she looked up, she saw a bunch of ruby-like fruits hanging on the branches, in the shade of green leaves, it was very attractive.
She smiled slightly, jumped with her skirt in her hand, landed lightly on the branch, picked up the largest bunches and put them in the basket, and then sat down, regardless of whether she washed it or not, she took one and fed it to her mouth first, squinting her eyes with satisfaction, so sweet!
Feng Mingzhen was far away, and when he saw her lifting her skirt, he was just surprised what she was doing, and saw her like a dexterous cat jumping on a branch, sitting on the branch and stealing the fruit.
He shook his head and smiled, leaned against the tree beside him, looked at her from afar, ate a few and got up to pick the fruit.
It's just that this time she just touched the red fruit, and hurriedly withdrew her hand as if she had been pricked by a needle, and her body shook unsteadily, and Feng Mingzhen's heart was also hanging, and she had already rushed to the bottom of the tree when she didn't pay attention.
When Mu Ling jumped off the branch, he was facing a pair of snow-white boots on the tree, and looking up along the boots, it was Feng Mingzhen's handsome face, "Miss Meng, pick the fruit!" ”
Mu Lingkong patted the hem of his skirt and stood up straight as if nothing had happened, just as if there was no scene of jumping down from the tree just now, "Yes, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?" ”
"I have another courtyard here, so I'm here to have a look. Speaking of which, my annex is still adjacent to the annex of the Prime Minister's Mansion! ”
"Really?" Mu Lingkong just didn't know.
"Hmm," Feng Mingzhen nodded, raised her gaze, and looked at the branch she was standing on just now, "What happened to you just now?" ”
Mu Lingkong looked at him and sighed, "Just now, what a big caterpillar!" Then she pushed the basket to Feng Mingzhen to see, "I caught it!" "In the basket was a caterpillar wrapped in a handkerchief, still wriggling around.
“……”
Feng Mingzhen's gaze fell on Mu Lingkong's hair again, hesitated for a moment, and still raised his hand to reach for her bun, "You have leaves on your hair!" ”
"Huh?" Mu Lingkong also reached out to touch it, but she didn't touch the leaves, but collided with Feng Mingzhen's hand, she was like being teased by fire, and hurriedly withdrew her hand. Feng Mingzhen's hand also paused in mid-air for a moment, before slowly plucking the leaves and showing them to Mu Lingkong.
The palm in front of him is slender and powerful, and the ten fingers are carved like jade, and it seems to be whiter and warmer than the jade wrench finger worn on the thumb. It turns out that every detail of a good-looking person is as if it has been carefully carved!
was in a trance, when he heard Feng Mingzhen chuckle on his head, "Do you see what?" ”
Mu Lingkong said solemnly, "Looking at His Highness's palmistry, his life is precious and his life is healthy and happy!" ”
Feng Mingzhen withdrew his hand and smiled, and walked in front with his hands behind his back.
When the two of them came out of the fruit forest, Meng Ruyue was still sitting there, but in a different position. When she saw the two of them, she was first surprised, and then stepped forward to salute in a proper manner, "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Feng Mingzhen signaled to excuse himself, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Sheng Yuxi sneakily probing his brain by the forest, and when he saw that he found it, he simply walked out generously, "Your Highness, the two young ladies of the Meng family, are here!" Coincidentally, someone held a poetry meeting here today, to join in the fun? ”
Meng Ruyue has never liked this kind of poetry meeting, so she shook her head, Mu Lingkong didn't want to join in the fun, but before they could walk away, there was a sudden sound of human voice from the other side of the woods, Sheng Yuxi touched his head, "They seem to have come!" ”
The men and women who came, all of them richly dressed and elegantly behaved. The first person wore a purple and gold crown, a black brocade robe embroidered with gold silk ruyi patterns, phoenix eyes, and a proud face, which should be the highest status among them.
He was also the first to see a few people here, and there was no ordinary person who saw the respect of His Royal Highness the Prince, he glanced at Feng Mingzhen lightly, and his eyes fell directly on Mu Lingkong, with a little surprise.
Feng Mingzhen took a step forward, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, just blocking the gaze of the man in black, "Why is the third brother also free to participate in the poetry meeting today?" ”
Feng Minghao retracted his gaze at this time, and arched his hand at Feng Mingzhen, "My Yinrong is bored in the palace, so I will take her out to play, and I happened to meet a poetry meeting here, so I came to take a look." ”
After the two finished greetings, the surrounding people saluted each other.
In the group of people behind Feng Minghao, Mu Lingkong only knew Song Lanzhi, in addition to the previous side of the princess's courtyard, but also because she was about to go to the sky. She peeked at Feng Mingzhen again, but saw that he didn't seem to be aware of it, so he didn't even glance in the direction of Song Lanzhi.
Thinking of the gossip and rumors I heard before, it seems that it is really groundless.
Song Lanzhi shook off for a while, but didn't get a response, so she accepted it cowardly. With a roll of his eyes, he smiled as if he saw Mu Lingkong, "Coincidentally, Miss Meng is also here today, are we blessed to hear Miss Meng's exquisite poems again!" ”
Mu Lingkong blinked, "Haven't you heard a rumor?" ”
Song Lanzhi was puzzled, "What? ”
"I'm amnesia, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to hear those beautiful verses again!"
A woman in white next to Song Lanzhi chuckled, "It's really fake, Miss Meng is famous for her poetry and talent in Chasing Cloud City, if she doesn't have this talent, then she may be out of the ordinary." ”
Meng Ruyue sneered, even if there is no poetic talent, "Meng Ruqing" still has a beautiful face, how can it be unnoticed. Unexpectedly, Mu Lingkong immediately said what was in her heart, and she smiled, "But I'm beautiful!" ”
Everyone was shocked, and looked at her one after another, only to see the sunshine of Allure shining on her face, she stood in the beautiful scenery and smiled slightly, it was more dazzling than the sun, she repeated again, "But I'm beautiful!" I'm sure I'm the number one in the pretty girl in Cloud Chasing City! ”
Although this is a fact, it still takes courage to be said so shamelessly, Meng Ruyue was stunned for a long time, and took the lead in laughing, "You! She pinched Mu Lingkong's cheek affectionately.
Feng Minghao once again set his eyes on Mu Lingkong, bringing a bit of heat. And the woman in white rubbed up to him and shouted coquettishly, "Lord Wang! "It turns out that she is Yinrong, Zhaoyi of Changwang Xinna.
He ignored Yinrong, but instead looked Mu Lingkong up and down a few times, and turned around and left with an inexplicable smile.
Since Mu Lingkong said that he couldn't compose poetry, the others naturally didn't have the reason to continue pestering, and they didn't have the courage to pull His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together, so they slowly walked away in groups.
Feng Mingzhen looked at Feng Minghao's back and frowned, and Mu Lingkong and Meng Ruyue also said goodbye.
On the carriage back to the city, Feng Minghao felt itchy when he thought about Mu Lingkong's smile just now. He had also seen Meng Ruqing a few times before, and he had always looked indifferent, with his eyes above the top, although he was beautiful, he really didn't like it, because he was too similar to his princess, pretending to be pretend. But when I saw "Meng Ruqing" again today, she was like a different person, youthful, lively and interesting. He remembered the advice of his previous staff, touched his chin and thought, Nameng Ruqing is a side concubine! This seems like a good suggestion.
