Because of his distrust towards others, he had calculated the best thing that would happen when he faced Mu Ru Yue. But the result? It turned out that everything was just a one-man show of her own.
Ling Xi muddle-headedly returned to the courtyard.
"They sent him away?" Old Uncle Zhang looked at Ling Xi as he inquired.
Ling Xi nodded her head before kneeling in front of Uncle Zhang and said, "Grandfather, Ling Xi knows her mistake."
"What did you do wrong?" Uncle Zhang's eyes were filled with love.
Ling Xi cried like a child, "If it wasn't for Ling Xi, Grandfather wouldn't have given our last resort to Murong Yue. If it wasn't for Ling Xi's fault … We won't be in such a sorry state. This match, is Ling Xi's loss. "
"If you still view everything as a game, then your loss is not unjustified. "What I've given out in this land deed is unfair." Uncle Zhang sighed. "From the very beginning, we were only there to survive. I wholeheartedly wanted to lead a better life while you, lass, wanted us to retreat safely. What you didn't know was that under the cover of the nest, how could there be a perfect egg?
You are not responsible for scheming against others, but you are also too confident in yourself. To the Seventh Princess, you are betraying your word, not winning or losing. Ling Xi, you must remember. One cannot only know success or failure. One must know what emotions are. If it were just like you, only calculating, then, who would be able to make friends with you? In the future, when Grandpa is old, what will happen to you? " Uncle Zhang said sincerely.
Ling Xi felt as though she was shouting at the top of her lungs.
"Do you know why my grandfather didn't tell her about our relationship?" Uncle Zhang's eyes were filled with love.
Ling Xi shook her head.
"Grandpa only hopes that you can take the initiative." But who would have thought that from the beginning, you, little girl, didn't want to form feelings for others. It was also my fault that I only taught you how to survive and forgot how to be a person. "
Uncle Zhang lamented.
It could be said that Mu Ru Yue had earned a lot from this trip. Satisfied, I went home. When he returned home, the butler was still waiting at the door. However, he did not say anything and respectfully bowed.
When he returned to his room, he found that the room was already prepared with food. Apparently, it was prepared by the steward.
Mu Ru Yue looked at it and couldn't help but smile. She loved smart people like him the most. They always did the right thing when they did the right thing.
The night passed in silence.
In the capital, the news that spread the most was from the Southern District. In just a day's time, the people of Nalan Clan showed up in the south of the city. Everyone knew that the young lady of Nalan Clan even provoked the Seventh Princess.
Even the peddlers on the streets could tell him the whole story. Mu Ru Yue could be said to be the most popular person in the capital.
However, Mu Ru Yue, who should have been incredibly proud of herself, was now in a state of collapse. In this world, the cruelest thing was to let a active modern man copy the scriptures one by one!
It was almost June, and the weather was getting warmer. A hundred flowers bloomed in the garden, no longer able to conceal the fragrance that filled the garden. It was the best season of the year. Don't worry about the cold of winter, don't worry about the heat of summer.
Yet, even though the weather was so beautiful, Mu Ru Yue's entire being didn't look good.
In the main courtyard of the wangfei's mansion, Mu Ru Yue was squatting on a chair. There was a table in front of her that had just been moved out. There were many sheets of white paper on it.
At the side, Xing'er expressionlessly looked at her young miss and said: "Miss, it's already noon. You haven't even copied out a Buddhist scripture yet."
"I don't want to either. I'm in despair too!" But... Can you not copy it? " Mu Ru Yue was on the verge of crying. The last time he collapsed was when he was forced to kill someone. But this time, she felt that it was even more terrifying than killing someone.
Only the heavens knew, yesterday she was the empress. What nonsense was it when they said they wanted her to go through the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times a day! Today, they sent someone to check on him! Mu Ru Yue thought about how she was forced to take the Buddhist scripture this morning, only to end up with nothing.
He was simply recalling the terror of having his homework checked!
Then, the result was that she wanted to copy every word of it, all the way until she added what happened yesterday. However, such a life would still take a long time! Mu Ru Yue wished she could strangle the empress.
Seeing Mu Ru Yue's broken body, Xing'er sighed. "Little miss, when will you finish writing like this?" If we offend the empress again? "
"You shut up." Mu Ru Yue became even more furious when she mentioned the empress. Helpless, he could only resign himself to his fate and start writing one word at a time. At this moment, an arrogant voice came from outside. "Is Seventh Princess here?"
Mu Ru Yue was initially angry, but when she heard that someone was looking for her, and saw that her incomplete scripture was about to explode, she instantly became enraged. Putting down the pen in his hand, he said to Xing'er, "Xing'er, go out and see who doesn't have eyes, bring me in!"
The corner of Xing'er's mouth twitched when she heard this. Just as he was about to take a look, the butler came in with some people. He saw that it was a woman wearing an azure long skirt. On the hem of the skirt, there were many white plums embroidered, giving her an elegant look.
This girl was around forty years old and looked clean and tidy. His back was straight and his head was held high. Looking down at Mu Ru Yue, he said arrogantly, "This servant is the head steward of Princess Wushuang's residence. This year was extremely hot, and the peonies of the Grand Princess's Mansion were already in full bloom. In order to prevent the flower from falling, the Grand Princess has specially moved the banquet forward to today.
Princess Wushuang? Mu Ru Yue was stunned.
Then he heard Xing'er whisper, "Miss, it's that princess who invited us earlier." This princess was His Majesty's eldest sister. Everyone was used to calling her eldest princess, but right now, His Majesty already had an eldest daughter, Princess Yun Rou. So, the Grand Princess started to call herself Princess Wushuang. "
Hearing Xing'er's words, Mu Ru Yue finally reacted. Her mouth twitched.
Are you really asking me to honor you and not you guys? Mu Ru Yue complained in her heart as she looked at the butler of the princess' residence, wishing she could become a giraffe. On the surface, however, there was a troubled look on his face. "The empress told me to copy the Buddhist scriptures, but I just can't leave."
"Princess, is the wangfei refusing to show you face?" When this person saw that Mu Ru Yue wasn't going to go, his expression darkened.
"How could that be? Naturally, I will be going to Princess Wushuang's invitation. " As Mu Ru Yue spoke, she stood up and said, "Xing'er, pack up all these things and prepare my clothes. We cannot be negligent in heading to the Princess's Mansion. "
Seeing that Mu Ru Yue agreed, the girl then said satisfactorily, "Our princess pays special attention to the wangfei and sends servants to welcome her. I hope that wangfei will be able to attend to her as soon as possible." The girl's attitude was still as if she was superior to him.
When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she instantly became angry.
However, Xing'er pulled her back, "Miss, Buddhist Scripture, Buddhist Scripture!"
Upon mentioning the Buddhist scriptures, Mu Ru Yue instantly calmed down. That's right, she couldn't get too excited. If she wasn't careful, it would probably be another hundred scriptures of the Buddhist scriptures! Suppressing her anger, Mu Ru Yue changed her clothes.
She changed into a bright red dress embroidered with white peonies. He helped Mu Ru Yue change into it. In just a few moments, Mu Ru Yue left the room.
The woman stood outside with her back straight as if she didn't want to tire herself out at all. However, when Mu Ru Yue came out and saw her attire, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed past her eyes. However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he said, "Since Princess Consort has changed her clothes, please follow me to the carriage."
