Chapter 109 - The Legend of the Chaotic Monarch's Heart
Hong Zhong rolled her eyes at him. "You know about it again?"
"Of course." Murong Youqi waved his fan and moved to Hong Zhong's side. His pretty peach blossom eyes had a faint smile, as he looked at Huyan Ruolan's lot of lots waving on the tree: "This prince has seen all of the scheming in your eyes."
Hong Zhong shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "I want to be bad during Huyan Ruolan's wish process, and let her wish fail, but I don't have that ability!" Otherwise, based on the grudges she had repeatedly caused, she had to add fuel to the fire!
Towards Hong Zhong's honesty, Murong Youqi felt great, it was obvious that he was only going to tell Hong Zhong all of this because he was treated as a friend. Murong Youqi waved his fan, and seemingly opened his mouth carelessly: "Anyone who comes to pray, all have great expectations. If the red cloth falls down, or if something else happens, it would be a sign of bad luck." After he finished speaking, he looked at Hong Zhong meaningfully.
Hong Zhong turned her head, and looked at Murong Youqi, only to see that he was staring at Huyan Ruolan's lot on the tree, and understood what he meant.
After Princess Xi Ling finished begging, it was naturally time for the noble ladies of the Southern Qi.
With regards to status, other than Grand Princess who had been grounded and Baili Yaoji, who else could be more important than him? Naturally, the one who ranked first in Southern Qi was also her. Nangong Yimeng stepped forward with a face full of smiles, and walked to Hong Zhong's side. "Little Sister Zhong Er, since you're here to pray, why don't you join me?"
"I... "Or …" Forget it. Putting aside the fact that Hong Zhong did not believe it at all, just the relationship between the two of them alone was not good. There was really no need for them to be together, facing Bai Lianhua who wanted to kill him at any moment, Hong Zhong did not even want to give her a show. But before she could finish speaking, Nangong Yimeng seemed to know of Hong Zhong's thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Little sister, could it be that you dislike this big sister's position as the Prime Minister's Estate and aren't worthy to be with little sister?"
With Nangong Yimeng saying this, it caused Hong Zhong to cover her mouth with what was about to be rejected, it was just the order of the two young daughters' requests, and with Nangong Yimeng saying that, Hong Zhong did not have to reject, because if you openly reject, it means that you do not have Prime Minister's Estate in your eyes, everyone knows, Prime Minister's Estate's background, no matter how arrogant and cool they were, they would still sell it to the imperial family, so no matter how she thought, Hong Zhong did not beat around the bush, "So, young miss Nan Gong, please."
Nangong Yimeng nodded gently, and the two of them went over to the table that was prepared. The two of them raised their brushes, and started writing on the red silk.
Nangong Yimeng magnanimously received the piece of cloth, not avoiding Hong Zhong's presence at all. She even had the intention to show it to Hong Zhong, and with her sharp eyes, Hong Zhong saw that at the place of signature, other than Nangong Yimeng's own name, there was also Baili Yi Chen's name. Nangong Yimeng did not feel that it was strange, after all, Baili Yi Chen was an outstanding person.
Seeing that Hong Zhong had already seen the contents of her Signatures, Nangong Yimeng did not say anymore. Instead, she smiled and threw the Signatures in her hand towards the tree. The Signatures then successfully hung the branch from the branch, and looking at the branch swaying in the wind, Nangong Yimeng's face was filled with joy.
Hong Zhong also held a brush in one hand, and looked at the red Signatures in his hand. For some reason, Baili Mingyue's beautiful face that was as beautiful as a goddess appeared in his mind. Thinking about what he had said to himself, Hong Zhong felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.
To seek a marriage alliance? Then who should he write down? After some thought, he made up his mind …
Nangong Yimeng hung up her Signatures, and turned to look at Hong Zhong. From her observation, Hong Zhong's attitude towards Baili Yi Chen was definitely not something she admired, and the general election was nearing, so she urgently needed to find out who her greatest enemy was. Therefore, she specially invited Hong Zhong to see who exactly that person's name was!
However, when her gaze landed on Hong Zhong's Signatures, her expression froze. On the Signatures, there was not a single word, but there were two strange smiley faces. Other than a face that could be seen, it was impossible to discern anything else: "Little sister, this Signatures of yours …. That was interesting. "
's words were spoken very loudly, causing all the noble ladies ten metres away to hear them. In fact, they were also very curious, what exactly was written on Hong Zhong's Signatures that made Nangong Yimeng feel interesting! Thus, everyone looked at them with sparkling eyes and tried their best to eavesdrop on their every move.
Hong Zhong looked curiously at Nangong Yimeng and saw that she was staring at her Signatures. You should know about young miss Nan Gong right? Hong Zhong didn't know much about poems and books, so writing some words for me is really a problem, so … " She drew a smiling face on it because someone had told her that he didn't like to see her cry!
Of course, she wouldn't tell Nangong Yimeng about this thought! Her and Baili Mingyue's statuses were right in front of everyone. Even if the Southern Qi were to be enlightened, she still wouldn't be able to accept this incestuous relationship. Therefore, she only said half of her sentence, while the other half was stuck in her throat, allowing others to guess! Was this a joke? Did she look that easy to detect?
On the contrary, it was a little similar to Dong Heng, the Fourth Prince of Dong Heng who had a good relationship with him recently, because no matter when that fellow saw a beauty, he would always have a smile plastered on his face! Furthermore, thinking about it, he looked a little like Xi Ling's Prince Jin, because no matter what happened, this person would always have a smile that was as warm as jade.
Thinking back to how Hong Zhong and Huyan Ruijin seemed to be pulling each other's strings, Nangong Yimeng had a guess about the relationship between Hong Zhong and Huyan Ruijin. Nangong Yimeng laughed, "But if that's the case, how would Yue Lao know which one his sister is begging for?"
After Hong Zhong drew a smile, she tilted her head and glanced at Nangong Yimeng: "Naturally, it's the most beautiful one in the world." Ever since she had transmigrated, she had only seen a few beautiful men. The most beautiful one was none other than the Regent, so this smiling face was very suitable for him!
And after Nangong Yimeng heard these words, she actually started to believe some of Hong Zhong's words. According to the shadow that Jinzhou City sent her father, Hong Zhong had already been on good terms with the world's prettiest man, Hua Yurong, in the Jinzhou City, so could it be that the person in Hong Zhong's heart was not Murong Youqi, nor was it Huyan Ruijin, but Hua Yurong?!
Hearing that, Qing Ya, who was serving at the side, also felt joy rising up her brows. Wasn't the most beautiful person in the world the Flowery Young Master? The young miss really does have the Flowery Young Master in her heart!
Nangong Yimeng had yet to recover from the shock Hong Zhong gave her, and when she saw Hong Zhong pick up the brush, she drew another circle, and before long, another smiling face appeared on the red silk.
This time, Nangong Yimeng was a little dizzy.
If there were two smiling faces, one representing Hong Zhong, and one representing Hua Yurong, then she drew another. Could it be that there were two people in her heart at the same time?! " Little Sister Zhong Er, this is a smiling face representing a person, this is … Could it be that in order to obtain a marriage alliance, wasn't it only for one person? " Although Hong Zhong's performance had surprised her, she still did not forget the fact that she disliked Hong Zhong, so her voice was also extremely loud, enough for the noble ladies behind her to hear.
The meaning behind those words was quite large!
The simplest, most straightforward way of understanding it was that Hong Zhong had a water personality and had more than one man in her heart! Sure enough, Nangong Yimeng's words caused quite a commotion amongst the noble ladies behind him, as they all whispered and discussed about Hong Zhong's actions, their expressions were filled with disdain.
Of course, there were some exceptions as well. Chu Lingshan was one of them! Although she had heard rumors of Hong Zhong and Hua Yurong's good relationship, she knew that the young master of the Red House, Hong Li, was extremely fond of her little sister.
Qingya's face also turned pale for a moment. Miss, are you asking for a marriage contract? Not everyone can write about it, you can't possibly be thinking about others other than the Flowery Young Master right?
acted as if he did not see any of the discussions, and rolled his eyes at Nangong Yimeng: "Who said I only begged one? Hehe... But I like anything that looks good! " As he spoke, he picked up the brush again and drew some lines behind the two smiling faces.
One, two, three …. A bunch of smiling faces …
"You think that's good too?" Hong Zhong pointed to the first smiling face on the red silk with a face full of smiles: "Hehe, I also think that's good. This smiling face, what about it, represents the number one beauty in the world. And this, represented the number two most beautiful man in the world. This, is … " Hong Zhong's words weren't loud, but it was enough for the noble ladies behind him who were trying to eavesdrop on the gossip to hear them clearly.
As for the elegant little girl, who was as shocked as Nangong Yimeng, at this moment, her heart felt as if it had completely crumbled. Ever since ancient times, marriage straws were drawn by a man and a woman, but what the hell did her young miss draw? A smiling face represented a beautiful man. Actually, she also wanted to ask: Miss, you have drawn so many smiling faces of beautiful men on your marriage contract. Beautiful men, do you agree!
At this moment, Nangong Yimeng was suddenly a little regretful, why would she want to see who Hong Zhong was begging. Hong Zhong was a person, ever since she returned to the capital, she could not be seen as a normal person! That was because she had something wrong with her head!
"Ma Yun Ooba once said that you still have to have a dream. What if it comes true? "Therefore, I will paint the smiling faces of the beautiful men of this world on them. The heavens will definitely reveal their true nature, so let me meet a beautiful man." Hong Zhong looked at the red silk cloth in her hand with a satisfied smile on her face, her words were clear and logical, but of course, if the "dream" she was displaying at that moment wasn't so wretched, everyone would probably be more touched.
After he finished writing, Hong Zhong took the red silk rope from Qing Ya's hands and personally tied it up. Then, he turned to Qing Ya and asked, "Does this mean that the higher this contract is hung, the greater the chances of it being realized?"
"Yes, miss." She nodded with a pale face.
Hong Zhong seriously thought for a moment: "Oh, then bring that slingshot of mine over." She wore a serious expression on her face, as if she really cared about this request for signature.
Upon hearing this, the corner of Qing Ya's mouth twitched. Miss, you really care about this wish ah. In order to fulfill your dream, you even used the speed of a slingshot! Although she was speechless, she still obediently took out the slingshot from the bag she carried with her and handed it over to Hong Zhong.
Hong Zhong held the spring bow and walked around the tree a few times, looking for the best place to shoot from. Then, she closed one eye and aimed at … As a result, the red silk that was painted to represent the smile of the beautiful man of today flew towards the marriage tree.
Under the effect of the skysilk, the red silk heavy object flew extremely fast, and even after hitting the Signatures above the treetops, it did not stop. Fortunately, the undead thing took the lot with it and flew out, drawing a parabola before landing about ten meters away, in front of the noble ladies.
"Eh …. "This..." Hong Zhong looked at the two "entangled" Signatures s not far away in a daze. Her eyes that were as clear as water blinked, and her face also seemed to be filled with disbelief.
Nangong Yimeng and the other noble ladies by the side also had shocked looks on their faces. Looking at Hong Zhong who looked like a fool, then looking at Princess Xi Ling whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, if they were not mistaken, the straw that was brought down by Hong Zhong's Signatures, was actually Princess Xi Ling!
Fortunately, the lot that Hong Zhong had signed was his, and not her! It would be a terrible thing if someone were to sign a wish like this! As she thought, she looked at Huyan Ruolan with sympathy.
The stick, which had flown more than ten meters away, landed in front of the ladies in the waiting area. The words that were written on it were clearly visible to everyone. The names of Huyan Ruolan and Huyan Ruijin were written on it, thus, everyone knew, that the person whom Huyan Ruolan admired, was actually Prince Jin!
In the next second, everyone's heart was thrown into disarray by the wind!
Because Huyan Ruolan was originally Xi Lingchanggongzhu's daughter, and was originally surnamed Chu, and because she was loved by the emperor, she was given the royal family's surname. This Royal Princess who had been bestowed a surname since the ancient times would be given a royal jade order. After that, even if it was someone from the royal family, Huyan Ruolan was no exception.
In other words, in the eyes of outsiders, Huyan Ruolan and Huyan Ruijin were no different from siblings. Thus, everyone's strange gazes started to drift between Huyan Ruolan and Huyan Ruijin.
