The wet nurse stood next to Murong Qing. Seeing the worry between Murong Qing's eyebrows, she also had mixed feelings and couldn't help but say those words in her heart. She comforted him softly, "Princess, this old servant has always been by your side serving you, it can be considered as me watching you grow up. Ever since you were born, you have never left this place. You were born in the Murong Dynasty, so besides this place, you have never been to. Although you have never complained about anything on the surface, this old servant knows that you have always been depressed in your heart. "
Youth was flourishing, and it was the prime of one's life. Did that beautiful woman not want to go out and see this boundless world?
Was there a girl who was willing to devote her youth, or even her entire life, to this place that was surrounded by mountains and had a steep road, where the sun would never shine?
No matter how beautiful or vast the scenery of Murong Dynasty was, there would still be a day when one would be tired of seeing living here day after day.
Besides, the princess had lived here for dozens of years.
Not to mention the surrounding mountains, forests, rivers, and even the bricks in the palace, the princess could already count them by several pieces.
She had watched the princess grow up and had long been like a mother and daughter. Naturally, she also hoped that the princess could live a simple and happy life without having to carry out her hundred years of royal duties.
"Nanny, don't talk about it anymore. No matter how gorgeous the outside world is, it's just a reflection of the water in a mirror. Since I am a princess of the Murong Royal Family, I have already shouldered such a heavy mission. This is my responsibility, and also the fate of my life. My duty is to protect those treasures. Furthermore … He wanted to personally hand over those treasures to the capable men. "But …"
As Murong Qing spoke, she stood up from the round stool and slowly walked towards the window, looking at the bright and clear moon outside. A layer of faint silver moonlight covered her white face, making her face look even paler than before.
However, although Murong Qing's face was still beautiful under the moonlight, it was still shrouded in a layer of shallow gloom. Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, he raised his hand and caressed the cold window, continuing: "I really do not wish, that the person who obtained the treasure is my cousin. During the meal just now, I saw that my cousin was frank and straightforward. Although she was smart and intelligent, she wasn't the kind of emperor who could stabilize the three kingdoms. I already bear a heavy burden, so I do not wish for my cousin to bear such a heavy responsibility. "
"Then tomorrow …" "This old servant will go with the elders …" The wet nurse also walked up and stood beside Murong Qing as she asked hesitantly.
However, before he could finish his words, Murong Qing lightly interrupted him. "Nanny, no need. Though I don't want my cousin to win. But I don't want her to lose either. "
"..." "Then, Princess, what do you mean?" The wet nurse raised her head in confusion and looked at Murong Qing's handsome face.
"My meaning is very simple, I just do not wish for cousin to win. However, during dinner time, if you look at the handsome prince by your cousin's side, you will know that the two of them are almost done for. Prince Feng Yi had also said that they would be family in the future. That being the case, I am not too worried. "
As Murong Qing spoke, he had already turned his head and shifted his gaze from the window to the wet nurse. "I can see that the person called Feng Yi is really talented, intelligent and has great courage. If he takes the top spot, I would be much more at ease with him by my cousin's side. As a result, the treasure was still left behind for us, the Murong Family. However, the responsibility on our shoulders isn't all on our younger cousin. "
"In that case, Princess need not be so worried. This old servant also sees that Young Noble Feng Yi is extremely talented, and is indeed worthy of the Imperial Protector Princess's snow and ice intelligence. " As soon as he reminded her, the wet nurse reacted and nodded in agreement.
"When the treasures are handed over to the capable men, our mission in Murong Dynasty will come to an end. I can also allow my citizens to live a normal life, and leave this cage-like place. At that time, they can go anywhere to live. " Murong Qing spoke softly. His eyes turned down, and a rare light smile appeared on his face. "When the time comes, I might be able to live a happy life in the middle of the mountains and rivers."
At the same time, in the welcoming hall at the other side.
Inside the bedroom of the cabinet in the main hall, the silver moonlight shone through the empty window frame and through the thin curtain of the window, gently shining on the golden floor of the room.
The so-called golden bricks were not made from real gold. Instead, it was the floor tiles that were meticulously crafted, and the selection of the soil was very particular. A single brick was made to be as precious as gold, so they were called 'Golden Bricks'.
All of the great halls in the Feng Lai Kingdom Imperial Palace were paved with gold bricks as well.
Other than Feng Lai Kingdom, the other two nations did not have such exquisite brick making skills. Unexpectedly, the Murong Dynasty that had been hidden from the world for so many years still had this rare set of skills.
Most of the candles in the hall had already been extinguished, and only the leaves of the tree had been blown off. In front of the bed, two red candles still burned.
On the other side of the bed, Chu Yunge was sitting with her legs crossed and was eating a melon seed.
The night was already late, so Feng Yi, who was sleeping in the bed, had already taken off his outer robe, removed his jade crown and untied his belt. He was only wearing a moon-white undergarment as he laid on the bed, supporting his head with one hand.
Unfortunately …
Chu Yunge pretended not to be able to see, as if I was very busy, I sat on the side of the bed and ate with gusto, not looking at Feng Yi behind me at all.
Feng Yi laid on the bed in a teasing manner, and laid there for a good fifteen minutes.
Finally, when Chu Yunge had almost finished half a cup of melon seeds, Feng Yi could no longer hold back and gave up his seductive posture. He turned around and sat cross-legged on the bed, and stared at Chu Yunge's back with a pair of resentful eyes.
Chu Yunge who was in the middle of eating the melon seeds suddenly stopped in her tracks. Before the melon seed in her hand could be put down, she felt a chill from her back.
It was as if a sharp sword had stabbed into his back, causing him to feel uncomfortable.
She stopped, craned her neck with difficulty, swallowed, and thought, I'm good, this guy doesn't seem to be able to hold his weight. Could it be that he was going to go berserk?
One must know that an hour ago, she, who had finished eating and drinking to her heart's content, came to the hall to sleep. However, she discovered that Murong Qing had actually arranged for her to live with Feng Yi.
Which is to say, she wanted to live in the same bed as Feng Yi tonight!
Are you kidding?
Ever since the last time she escaped from the Feng Lai Kingdom, she had never once shared a bed with him!
Even when the two of them were together last time, it was still … It was also because she was unconscious that the bitch Feng would succeed!
Although her feelings for him were deep now, she knew that she was deeply in love with Feng Yi.
However, she still felt that it was a little too quick to go over to Feng Yi's place. She wasn't ready yet.
Furthermore — This was the resting chamber of the Murong Dynasty!
It wasn't like they were going to get married in the future!
They still had to participate in the competition given by Murong Dynasty tomorrow, so they couldn't compete tonight either … A good time to do that!
However, when she discovered that she was going to sleep in the same hall as Feng Yi, before she could even request for a room change, the servant who brought her here had already turned around and left.
By the time she wanted to go back on her word, it was already too late.
No one had arranged a sleeping chamber for her. Since the person who came was a guest, she couldn't just blindly go to another sleeping chamber to sleep, right?
Because... The martial arts of the guards here were shockingly high. She was not confident that she could win.
Furthermore, tomorrow he still had to participate in the trial given by those elders. Of course, he had to leave a good impression in front of those elders in order to have more chances to obtain the treasure map.
Therefore, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and choose to sleep in the same room as Feng Yi.
Feng Yi, on the other hand, was extremely happy. He straightforwardly went to bathe and change his clothes, then, wearing undergarments, with his hair draped over his shoulders, and the fragrance of purple sandalwood permeated his entire body, he softly walked over and slept on the large bed.
Looking at his eyes that could only shine in the night, Chu Yunge knew that this fellow's thoughts were indeed not simple, and did not have any good intentions!
Therefore, she didn't take a bath or change her clothes. She didn't even take off her clothes that she had soaked in the crocodile's pond that day. She just sat by the bed in her clean clothes, holding a cup of melon seeds.
Originally he wanted to wait for Feng Yi to fall asleep.
He didn't expect that this fellow would be so determined to have fun with him … He hadn't rested all this time. As expected, he was "ambitious and unwilling to give up so easily."
"Xiao Ge, it's already late. What's wrong, do you still want to hug the melon seeds and eat them?"
Just as Chu Yunge was sitting there with her heart in a mess, Feng Yi's charming voice came from behind him.
"That... I suddenly feel that the melon seeds are very tasty, so I just want to eat more. " Feng Yi had no choice but to hug the melon seeds, as his body stiffened and he turned his head around, slowly looking at Feng Yi who was seated behind him.
Feng Yi blinked his eyes, looked straight into Chu Yunge's dark eyes, smiled, and said gently: "But, you've already eaten enough. Aren't you going to sleep at this late hour? "Hurry up and take a bath, I'll wait for you here."
"…" Chu Yunge's body trembled. Seeing the smile on his lips, she felt her scalp tingling. "You, what do you mean …"
What did this fellow mean!
If he had to do that, then don't blame her for using her trump card!
"You've been worn out by the journey today, aren't you going to shower and change into a new set of clothes?" As Feng Yi spoke, he extended his hand and gently placed his fingers on Chu Yunge's delicate and small shoulders, continuing, "Or do you mean that you're waiting for your husband to help you bathe and change?"
"You …" Chu Yunge retreated in shock, almost throwing the melon seeds in her hands away. She even started to stutter as she spoke, "You, you … I'm warning you, don't act recklessly tonight! "
