"You, you two know each other, that's great." The Lady Boss already knew Mu Zhuo's true identity, so she was submissive. He would rather refuse Xue Ruyun than to offend the crown prince. Seeing that the two of them know each other, even Xue Luoyun did not dare to offend him. " "Miss Xue had been wanting this box of cosmetics. So you two already know each other. You can negotiate on your own." The Lady Boss quickly tried to smooth things over with the two of them.
The Crown Prince looked at the rouge and cosmetic powder in his hand, then looked at Xue Ruyun, his eyes seemingly asking, "You want this?"
After being asked that question, Xue Luoyun said somewhat embarrassedly, "No, no, no, I thought someone else bought it just now. I didn't expect it to be you. Since the crown prince likes it, how can I steal his beauty? "
Hearing her words, Mu Zhuoyun remembered that this was a rouge shop. A man came to this place and even met someone he knew. After all, he was still very young. Mu Zhuo could only blush and quickly put away the jade artifact.
Seeing the Crown Prince like this, the situation immediately became awkward. Everyone was silent. The voice of the peddler outside who sold the protective dolls was especially loud.
"Oh, that day, Dragon Boat Festival. Thank you for saving me." Xue Luoyun was still trying to ease this awkwardness when he suddenly thought of what happened that day. He quickly took this opportunity to sincerely express his gratitude to Mu Zhuozhi.
"What?" Mu Zhuo was at a loss for words. She did not know what she was talking about.
"It's the afternoon of the Dragon Boat Festival..." Seeing that he was somewhat perplexed, Xue Luoyun hurriedly reminded him.
He seriously thought about it for a moment. Oh, perhaps it was because he had said a few words on her behalf while she was in the palace. Could it be that she was referring to this matter? Mu Zhuo finally understood.
"Ah, you mean that? It's just a small matter, what's there to worry about?" Mu Zhuoyun modestly said. He hadn't thought that he would remember such a small matter. He truly was a person who knew how to repay kindness.
"She's really changed." Mu Zhuoyun sighed.
For such a huge matter, he actually said that it was as easy as lifting his hand to do something good. Not only had he quietly left that time, he had even nearly forgotten about this matter. Xue Ruyun sighed with emotion, and began to have a whole new level of respect for him.
"No matter what, I owe you a favor for this matter. In the future, if there's anything you need, you can go through fire and tread on water without hesitation." Xue Ruyun clasped his hands together, his feelings of righteousness thick in his heart.
When Mu Zhuo saw her expression, a special feeling suddenly arose in her heart and her body trembled for a moment.
Who would have thought that after so many years of fighting on the battlefield, Mu Ying had killed countless enemies. No matter how fierce an enemy was, regardless of whether they were facing a bloody battle, he had never been afraid. And now he had become so hesitant. Ever since that day when he discovered his thoughts about Xue Ruyun, he had actually become timid and afraid of meeting her. He didn't know how to face her.
Therefore, even though he had been missing her in his heart and couldn't wait to see her at all times, he had purposely hidden himself and didn't go to find her. Every time she walked outside the wall, she would hear a familiar sound coming from inside, but she didn't dare to jump up to the top of the wall to take a look at her.
This day, he had just returned from the military camp and was currently following the two guards who were riding on horseback as they walked on the street. He suddenly heard an old man who looked like an old man trying his best to shout, "A protective doll! Selling a protective doll!"
Mu Ying was stunned for a moment before coming to a stop.
"Your Highness, is there a situation?" The dark guard held his dagger tightly and checked around cautiously.
Mu Sheng didn't say anything. He suddenly jumped off his horse and walked over to a stall. He only saw that each and every one of the exquisite children on the stand was very cute as they were blown around by the wind.
"Girls must like these little things." Mu Ying held a little child and looked at the curved corner of his mouth. Suddenly, Xue Ruoyun's smile appeared on his face.
"Young master, you have such good eyes. These dolls were all exquisite in appearance and craftsmanship. They were all fine stitches. Furthermore, the rarest thing is that it contains the protective talisman that you obtained from the Buddhist Light Temple. It is very effective. If you carry it with you, your safety will be guaranteed. " The old man boasted.
Mu Ying shouldn't have been unconvinced by this, but he was a little tempted by Shi Mu's words.
"Safe, I'm afraid only that woman needs it." Mu Sheng sneered. Suddenly, he took one of them down and said, "I'll buy this." This sudden contrast caused the old man to be unable to react in time.
Mu Sheng took out a white and flowery silver ingot and handed it over. "This one. There's no need to look for it."
"Good, good, good. Thank you, Young Noble. Thank you, sir. You will be rewarded for your kindness." The old man took the money happily and kept kowtowing. No wonder, this amount of money was enough for him to sell it for ten years.
Mu Ying put the doll away and was about to mount the horse when, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a familiar voice coming from the rouge shop beside him.
Mu Sheng pressed the protective doll in his embrace. His heart really felt a little timid, and he couldn't help but want to walk over. Just as she was hesitating, the person beside her turned around. Wasn't this Crown Prince Mu Zhuo?! Why were they together?
He saw Xue Ruyun lowering his head and smiling, and the crown prince was also refined as he stared straight at him. The two of them seemed to be talking about something.
As Mu Ying saw this scene, his heart was thrown into chaos. Previously, Xue Ruoyun was deeply in love with Mu Zhuoyun's knowledge, so the Emperor knew about this matter. That was why he had married her to Mu Zhuo. It was just that Mu Zhuo did not know why, but he felt moved and fell in love with the Xue Residence's Third Miss, Xue Lian. Then came the clamor to break off the engagement and the strong support of the Empress Dowager. The emperor had no choice but to annul the engagement between the two.
When he heard about this, Xue Luoyun secretly shed tears for a long time, and even got sick because of it. At that time, she was said to be a laughingstock by the people of the capital. Xue Ruyun seemed to have completely let it go before, and didn't care about the crown prince at all. And now, she actually saw these two people together, in the rouge shop? Could it be that Xue Luoyun still had some lingering feelings for her, and the two's old friendship had risen again? Mu Sheng's mind was in a mess for a moment as it was filled with all sorts of suspicions. What were these two doing?!
Mu Rong Zhan clenched his fists and wanted to step forward, but he turned back after taking two steps, because he didn't know what kind of identity he was going to use to interrogate them. Mu Sheng was furious as he mounted his horse and galloped away. However, after walking a short distance, he suddenly pulled on the reins and turned the horse around, heading towards the rouge shop.
"Since you like this water powder, then I'll gift it to you …" As Mu Zhuoyun spoke, he moved to take out the jade artifact.
"What are you doing here?" Before Mu Zhuo could finish his sentence, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him. At the same time, a deep and solemn voice sounded out. This voice came out of nowhere. The Crown Prince felt that it was a bit familiar. He raised his head and was startled to see his royal uncle's face dark. He had always been most afraid of this solemn and stern Imperial Uncle, not to mention encountering him in this sort of place that a man should not appear in.
