"Your highness." Mu Ru Yue stood up as well.

"You don't have to stand on ceremony with me, I am fated to meet you, in the future … Young lady, can you call me by my name? " Feng Qing looked at Mu Ru Yue and asked softly.

Ah? Name? Mu Ru Yue was stunned.

"Feng Qing." Feng Qing said softly. He then asked Mu Ru Yue, "What is your name?"

"My name is A'Yue." Mu Ru Yue smiled faintly. When Feng Qing heard this, his gaze darkened. You don't even want to say your surname?

"Your Highness, please don't ask too many questions." Mu Ru Yue was afraid that Feng Qing might continue asking but he didn't even have the heart to say anything. He quickly turned his gaze toward him. However, he knew in his heart that he wouldn't be able to keep this sort of thing a secret for long.

Once Feng Qing knows who she is, there will definitely be enmity between her and Feng Qing! So what did she do? It was fine, why did she want to provoke him when he was courting his own death!

No matter how he thought about it, it was all caused by the empress! In her heart, Mu Ru Yue blamed the empress for all of this. She didn't even try to reason with the empress and took everything out for herself. Feng Qing, on the other hand, looked thoughtfully at Mu Ru Yue.

After a long while, she smiled and said, "It was my fault. It was only fate that separated us. It's not good to ask too many questions."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." Mu Ru Yue heaved a sigh of relief, but his heart felt heavy. There was an additional trace of awkwardness between the two of them. Feng Qing could naturally see it. At the same time, he felt a faint sense of foreboding …

He didn't dare to think too deeply about it. He only said, "Miss, have you ever used Ramadan?"

"No need, I'm not hungry yet." Mu Ru Yue quickly refused. What a joke! She was just thinking about how to leave! Eat what! However, thinking this way, he heard his stomach growling in disappointment as soon as he finished his words.

In that instant, Mu Ru Yue's face flushed red. She then felt the atmosphere become even more awkward.

Feng Qing widened his eyes slightly. As he looked at her embarrassed appearance, he chuckled. Feng Qing was peerless when he smiled. Even the phoenix seep was inferior by three points.

However, Mu Ru Yue didn't have the mood to admire a beauty now.

It was a good thing that Feng Qing didn't continue to embarrass Mu Ru Yue. He instead asked, "I'm familiar with the host here, so there are a lot of people outside. How about you follow me to get some food?"

If outsiders were to hear this, Feng Qing would actually speak to a girl in such a friendly manner. This would definitely shock a group of people to the point that their jaws would drop to the ground.

After all, Feng Qing was famous for his coldness. Most of the times when this woman approached him, he would be frozen and run away. If those women were to see this, they would definitely shout out that this person was not Feng Qing!

However, Mu Ru Yue didn't know that. Feng Qing had already said this much. Furthermore, she was indeed hungry. Thus, he could only nod and agree, "Then, many thanks to Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

"Call me by my name." The man's voice was very soft.

Mu Ru Yue pondered for a moment before replying helplessly, "Young Master Feng Qing."

Feng Qing paused for a moment. In her heart, he was slightly disappointed. If possible, she hoped that this person could address her in a more intimate manner. However … Just by thinking about it, he felt that his demands were excessive.

After all, he was not yet familiar with the girl. She wasn't even willing to tell him her surname, and even now, she still felt a sense of distance from him. Under these circumstances, listening to his request was already quite good.

However, no matter what, when the day of the consort selection came, the daughters of the ministers would always arrive. On that day, she had been able to come to the Imperial Palace, which meant that her status was not low. On that day, he already knew who she was. As she thought of this, Feng Qing's expression became much gentler.
