Bing Lanyue originally thought that she was following a young lady in a sedan, but now she saw a face that was exactly the same as her former boyfriend. He was dressed in a brown robe with exquisite patterns embroidered on it and her eyes had that kind of gentle smile.
"Mu Yi Xuan, why are you here?" Bing Lanyue had already forgotten about the pain in her arm, even if she was grabbed tightly by someone, she wouldn't have any other reactions. She stared at the man in front of him in a daze, her face extremely familiar.
The man with a gentle smile slightly frowned, then asked with a puzzled look, "You know me?"
"How dare you call me by my full name!" The maidservant who grabbed Bing Lanyue fiercely increased her strength, causing Bing Lanyue's face to reveal a painful expression.
"Let go, let her come over!" Seeing Bing Lanyue's expression, Mu Yi Xuan immediately said to the servant. The servant first hesitated, but then she listened to the man.
Bing Lanyue didn't care about the pain anymore. She thought that when she saw her ex-boyfriend again, she would smile and joke around, "How old is your child?" This kind of speech, however, did not expect this kind of situation.
His heart felt like it was being pressed down by a stone. The pain was especially obvious. His chest felt like it couldn't breathe. His eyes seemed to be burning as tears rolled down his face.
Gradually approaching the man who thought he had already forgotten, he gently caressed her cheek and said to himself, "If I can repeat it, are you willing to forgive me?"
In her previous life, she was busy with her work and studying, busy with the paths her parents had made for her, and had never cared about what her boyfriend needed.
Ever since she received the message to break up with her, Bing Lanyue regretted it. She had never worried about the feelings of her boyfriend.
"Miss, do we know each other?" Mu Yi Xuan looked at Bing Lanyue's pair of eyes that were filled with deep love, and used her fair hands to grab the hand that Bing Lanyue was stroking her face with.
Everyone was shocked, the Prince Yi had never let anyone this close to her before. This was the first time this girl had let someone this intimate.
"Do we know each other …?" Bing Lanyue's eyes flashed with panic as she retracted her hand. She had just realised what she did, she had already transmigrated, and this person was also not the ex-boyfriend she knew, Mu Yi Xuan.
"You clearly called me 'I'. This is something that very few people know about." Mu Yi Xuan's eyes were probing, but he still maintained a warm jade-like appearance.
Bing Lanyue's gaze drooped downwards, and her face revealed a trace of awkwardness. She then said, "I'm sorry, I mistook you for an old friend. Sorry …"
She turned around and was about to leave when Mu Yi Xuan grabbed her arm. The strength was not heavy, but it made it difficult for Bing Lanyue to take a step forward.
"I think we know each other because you have two words written on your face." Mu Yi Xuan looked dazedly at the side of Bing Lanyue's face, the corners of her mouth curving up in a beautiful halo under the illumination of the sunlight.
Raising her confused eyes, Bing Lanyue turned around to look at this man. She still remembered their first meeting at school when they fell down and a white hand appeared in front of them in the sunlight. It grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.
At that time, he also had the same smile, but also the same kind of beauty. It was like the sunlight that shone in during the winter, causing one's heart to uncontrollably tremble. Bing Lanyue was stunned, she looked at the man and asked, "What word is it?"
"Love …" The man's beautiful red lips opened and closed, causing Bing Lanyue's heart to tremble slightly. Indeed, she had loved him, and even now, she still remembered that feeling.
The silent atmosphere was interrupted by a noble woman's voice. Bing Lanyue looked towards the direction of the voice and saw that it was a woman wearing an emerald golden crown. She looked to be around forty to fifty years old.
"Who is this?" The woman looked up and down at the woman in the low-grade silk clothes. She seemed to be a maid, and her eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Replying to mufei, this girl seems to have taken the wrong path. She followed my attendants here." Without waiting for Bing Lanyue to speak, Mu Yi Xuan had already opened his mouth to explain.
Mufei? This person was the prince! Bing Lanyue bit her lower lip, feeling a little apprehensive. Was the current Mu Yi Xuan a prince?
"Since she's lost, she should be attending today's empress dowager's banquet with the ladies. This Dowager should find someone to send her back." The woman sized Bing Lanyue up from head to toe, with a look of rejection in her eyes.
Bing Lanyue did not understand why she would be hated by the Empress, but upon hearing her address herself as This Dowager, she immediately understood in her heart that this was actually an imperial concubine, and guessed that the lonely ones in the palace would also be perverted.
"Good …" It's windy outside for mufei, let's go in! " Mu Yi Xuan glanced at Bing Lanyue, then supported the noblewoman in walking in. Bing Lanyue looked at that person unwillingly, and finally followed a palace maid to the empress dowager's place.
At the banquet, Bing Lanyue and the other servants were not allowed to enter, they could only sit down and wait in a house at the side of the garden.
Bing Lanyue rested her head against the wall in a corner, still in a daze. She heard from the palace maid that the Miss had been sent back by the Great Concubine's palace maid. She was thinking if she had been reprimanded.
Just as everyone was waiting patiently, a palace maid walked in, scanned the room and said, "Do you have the General's Estate's servant, Chun Er?"
Qing Qiu pulled on Bing Lanyue's sleeves. She, who was still in a daze, came back to her senses, stood up and leisurely said, "This servant is!"
"Follow me, your young mistress is looking for you!" With that, the palace maid walked out. Bing Lanyue quickly followed behind, passing through the cave on the way, clearly moving further and further away from the location of the banquet.
"Sister, did we go to the wrong place?" Bing Lanyue felt that something was amiss and immediately stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with caution.
"I'm more familiar with the palace than you are. Your young miss's drunk, so Esteemed Empress Dowager told us to help her into the room in front of us to rest. Quickly go in!" The palace maid glanced at Bing Lanyue, and then looked a little angry.
Bing Lanyue hurriedly lowered her head, and looked in the direction the palace maid had pointed. In the center of the lake, there was a stone bridge connected to a single building, and a lotus pond in her surroundings was especially pleasing to the eyes.
When she walked to the entrance, Bing Lanyue took a look at the signboard at the entrance that had the words "Lotus Xuan" written on it.
This ancient building used many feng shui techniques. Due to the wind, the lotus fragrance from the lotus pond stayed in this room for a long time, causing the room's temperature to become especially cool during the summer. Bing Lanyue took a deep breath, feeling as if her entire being had become a lot more relaxed.
The bead curtain in the room blocked his view, causing Bing Lanyue to see a white figure faintly swaying inside the light muslin bead curtain, and softly call out: "Young miss?"
No one replied, Bing Lanyue frowned, opened the curtain and walked in, only to see Monarch Moli with a mischievous smile on her face, "You little girl, you seem to care so much about your young miss!"
"Being loyal to Master is a basic requirement of a maid, so I naturally have to be careful of my young miss. Why did you trick me into coming here?" When Bing Lanyue saw Monarch Moli, he immediately revealed a displeased expression, this slut wanted to grab her face that was still looking at his.
Monarch Moli looked at Bing Lanyue's furious situation, the smile in her eyes slowly faded, and she said seriously: "Do you hate me that much?"
"Of course! "Then you're a bitch!" Bing Lanyue looked at him coldly, not caring what kind of National Duke’s Mansion young master she was, and even more so not caring if he was someone who could spy on status.
Hearing Bing Lanyue's words, Monarch Moli laughed, it seems like Bing Lanyue and him had become enemies, she did not want to be her friend anymore.
"I apologize for what happened last time. What do you think?" Monarch Moli took out a box from his sleeves and handed it over to Bing Lanyue.
It was a small blue and white porcelain box. When placed on Monarch Moli's fair and long hands, it gave off a unique sense of beauty. In addition to a gentle breeze, it gently raised Monarch Moli's wide white sleeves.
Bing Lanyue saw Monarch Moli's sincere eyes, adding on the pink muslin in the room, the white robed Monarch Moli was extremely captivating. Taking the things in his hands, he opened it to see a pair of beautiful pearl earrings.
"Using common tricks to fool me, you think I'm too cheap!" Bing Lanyue threw the thing in her hand to Monarch Moli, and upon seeing him catch it in a panic, her eyes narrowed.
As expected of a money grubber, wasn't that just an ordinary pearl earring? He looked as if he was afraid of breaking into pieces. He really was a money grubber and a slut!
The more Bing Lanyue looked at Monarch Moli, the more she did not like him, so she decided to just directly leave, it was obvious that Monarch Moli had bribed the palace maids to trick him into coming over, if she did not leave now, it would be hard to explain herself.
These days, even if two maids were to be involved in the matter of a noble's offspring, they would drown in saliva. Bing Lanyue did not want to be unable to eat the mutton and become smelly all over.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Do you think that this is an ordinary pearl?" Monarch Moli had a deep sense of defeat in his heart. He clearly knew that Chun Er was an ignorant girl, yet he gave her some strange things, wasting her time and effort.
"Do you think I don't even know pearls? I'll tell you! Today, the clothes that our Young Miss is wearing are adorned with pearls like yours! " Bing Lanyue looked at Monarch Moli with disdain. Why was this man so hard to deal with?
