She is not someone you can touch

After looking at Hong Zhong quietly for a long time, Baili Mingyue was still unable to think of how to phrase the question to Hong Zhong regarding her age. All she saw was that the bun ran out from the entrance of the Xiwu Hall and hopped in front of Hong Zhong, causing Hong Zhong to bend over and hug it, stroking its fur: "Steamed Bun, today's so obedient, I'll give you a barbecue to eat tonight."

What he did to scare Nangong Yimeng was fast, accurate and ruthless. The most important thing was that he was not discovered.

"Awoo — —" Steamed Bun cried out happily in Hong Zhong's embrace, as if he couldn't wait any longer. Roast meat was something that steamed buns loved to eat. Hurry, let's go! Let's roast meat go!

"Alright, let's go now." Hong Zhong carried his bun and turned to greet Baili Mingyue: "Uncle, I'll be going in first. You don't look too good, but if you're really not feeling well, then go and find an imperial physician, don't be too busy with government affairs, understand? I'm going in. " After saying that, she carried the impatient bun and entered the Xiwu Hall.

Baili Mingyue looked at Hong Zhong's back, the sword-shaped eyebrows on her beautiful face slightly furrowed. It was obvious that she was depressed because she did not know what the problem was with her age.

And this scene, fell into a corner of the garden without end. In that pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, Feng Feili looked at the two figures that were gradually moving further and further away, and a trace of malevolence flashed past his eyes.

"Princess Qingyang, she is not someone you can touch!" Just as Feng Feili was deep in thought, Baili Yi Chen's clear and loud voice came to her ears.

Although the voice from before was elegant, it carried an indescribable chilliness. Feng Feili smiled indifferently, "If the news of this empress daughter is correct, Hong Zhong is the personal imperial concubine of the previous emperor, right? Southern Qi Emperor, when you see your own woman being together with your own Uncle Wang, don't you feel heartache? "

From the looks of it, Baili Yi Chen should be interested in Hong Zhong. In addition to Hong Zhong's original identity, the love between Hong Zhong and Baili Mingyue was something that couldn't be accepted by the world. As for the Imperial Family, they would definitely not allow such a joke to happen!

"The heart does not ache, that is my problem, it has nothing to do with Princess Qingyang." Baili Yi Chen also turned to look at the two figures. However, a dark look flashed in his eyes, revealing his current disappointment. You can court my Uncle Wang, but don't think of using that woman to distance yourself from my relationship with her. "

"Hmph …" Feng Feili coldly snorted and declined to comment. With a profound smile, she turned and left.

Who was Feng Feili? She was Qingyang's royal daughter, the only heir to the throne of the Qingyang Kingdom. From the moment she was born, anything she wanted had never failed her! No matter how good Hong Zhong and Baili Mingyue were, so what? Someone who could obtain Baili Mingyue in the end was the last person to laugh!

, as long as we are here, we will not cause you any more harm. Because right now, we no longer want to let go, and we can't let go either!

… ….

After Hong Zhong ate dinner at the Xiwu Hall, he sat in the carriage and arrived at the Inn where Murong Youqi was. Just as she was about to enter, he was pulled by Lv Luo behind him: "Miss, are you really going to send the Fourth Prince off like this?"

Hong Zhong turned her head, and looked at herself up and down: "What's wrong? "If I don't go like this, how am I supposed to go?" She was dressed very decently like this. Was there anything that was inappropriate about it?

Lv Luo lowered her head and spoke in a low voice: "Fourth Prince Dong Heng is returning to Dong Heng this time. Miss, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to send him off empty-handed." It would be fine if the young miss was here to send him off. But the reason Miss came to look for Murong Youqi tonight, was obviously because she had something she needed his help with. Is it really okay to be empty-handed?

In truth, she thought that Hong Zhong would probably think of it, but after seeing that she was already at Inn, she still did not think of it, which was why she had no choice but to remind him.

"Oh, I think so too." Hong Zhong scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. Then what should he do? Why don't you go back and get me some presents? "

Lv Luo pursed her lips and thought, but found it hard to look at Hong Zhong. Miss, it's already so late, the palace is about to close soon, if you told me to run back and get it, it won't be too late.

Looking at the color of the sky, Hong Zhong also realized that there was a problem with the time. Just as she was worrying about time, a black figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Hong Zhong: "Third Miss, are you thinking about a gift for the Fourth Prince Dong Heng?"

"Yes." Hong Zhong looked at Wu Hen, and unconsciously blinked, and then looked around warily behind him.

She swore to the heavens and earth that when Wu Hen appeared, she didn't even blink. However, where did Wu Hen come from?! Baili Mingyue had said for Wu Hen to help her, but didn't she reject it? Why was he here?

Wu Hen lowered his head, and passed the cinnamon cake in his hand to Hong Zhong: "When this grandpa returns, I'll instruct this subordinate to prepare a present for Fourth Prince Dong Heng."

"Oh, oh. So this is the gift Uncle prepared? " Hong Zhong looked at the cinnamon cake in Wu Hen's hands in a little confusion. Although she knew that Murong Youqi liked to eat cinnamon cake s, but to use this as a gift to ask him for help was a little too shabby. After all, she was the rich man's sister!

Wu Hen continued to speak, "I said, gifts may not be valuable, but giving them what they want is the best." Actually, Baili Mingyue had already known from the start that Hong Zhong came to find her to give him a gift, which was why he had asked Wu Hen to help her buy the Li Ji's cinnamon cake.

However, at that time, Hong Zhong had actually rejected her request. He knew that with Hong Zhong's carefree and open personality, she was unable to guess what Murong Youqi's favorite thing was. As such, he instructed Wu Hen to prepare the Li Ji's cinnamon cake and bring it over to Hong Zhong.

Hong Zhong looked at the cinnamon cake, and in the end, nodded in agreement. The uncle was right, Murong Youqi was a prince, he must have seen all sorts of rare treasures before.

"Thank Uncle for me." With that, Lv Luo took the two bags of cinnamon cake from Wu Hen's hands and walked inside the Inn.

After Wu Hen handed the cinnamon cake to Lv Luo, he made a mistake and hid in the shadows. Master had said that not only would he send the cinnamon cake over, he would also need to be in charge of her safety.

… ….

Amongst the Inn, Murong Youqi did not have any expression of surprise when he saw Hong Zhong visiting them. From his understanding of Hong Zhong, she knew that he was about to leave, and must definitely be here to send him off. He waved his fan, and spoke with a smile that was not a smile: "Third Miss, do you have something to give me when you come to the Inn this late at night?"

Hong Zhong laughed: "You're really impolite, but you're right this time, you're leaving tomorrow. As your good brother, I naturally have to bring you a present." As he said that, she asked Lv Luo to place the Li Ji cinnamon cake Wu Hen brought over on the table.

Murong Youqi looked at the two bags of cinnamon cake on the table, and a surprised expression flashed across his face. It was clear that he did not expect Hong Zhong to gift this to him.

Seeing his shocked expression, Hong Zhong knew that this gift was definitely the right one. He opened up a bag of cinnamon cake s and said, "This is from the house you love the most." From the bottom of his heart, he sighed at Baili Mingyue's meticulousness. He really did not expect that not only had he prepared cinnamon cake for her, he had even prepared one for the Li Ji.

After eating a few pieces, he softly said, "Thank you."

"There's no need to be so polite. We're good brothers after all. The most important thing is that you like us." Hong Zhong waved her hand.

Murong Youqi thought for a moment, then nodded his head in agreement: "Indeed. It's my credit that you're here right now. I shouldn't be so polite with you. Come together? " As he said that, he pushed the cinnamon cake in front of Hong Zhong.

"Sure." Hong Zhong unceremoniously picked up a piece of cinnamon cake and started to eat. Looking at Hong Zhong's appearance, Murong Youqi's eyes were crystal clear, and Hong Zhong also acutely discovered that there seemed to be a glint of water appearing within his eyes.

Murong Youqi accompanied Murong Youqi to finish eating the bag of cinnamon cake, then immediately passed a brocade handkerchief to the two of them to wipe their hands, which Murong Youqi wiped away while turning his head to Hong Zhong and saying: "Hong Zhong, I really thank you, if you have anything in the future, tell me, I will definitely go through fire and water, and not refuse."

Since he said this, Hong Zhong very quickly thought of marrying Baili Yaoji. That was also the reason why she came here tonight. However, this thought only flashed through her mind. After thinking about it for a while, she was too embarrassed to speak again.

He treated her as his friend, and she, on the other hand, came here with the intention of using Murong Youqi to take revenge on Baili Ziyan.

Thinking of this, Hong Zhong started to feel a little disdain towards herself!

Thus, he gave up on the idea and punched his opponent in the chest, "Humph! Come on, from what you're saying, you're hoping that one day I'll be unlucky enough to let you go through fire and water, aren't you? You don't have to curse your friends like that! "

Murong Youqi had thought that Hong Zhong would bring up the matter of him and the Southern Qi getting along well, so he had already made preparations for her marriage. After all, he had loved a beauty his entire life, and if not the one he loved, it wouldn't matter who he married.

The fist that wasn't light nor heavy on his chest landed on his chest, and he couldn't help but be curious: "You know that's not my intention, but could it be that you specially went to the Li Ji to buy me a cinnamon cake, and there's nothing else?" For example, marrying Baili Yaoji.

"At the beginning, there were some!" Hong Zhong opened her mouth honestly: "But then you also said that you treated me as a friend. "Therefore, you should rest assured. I absolutely have no other intentions towards you right now."

Hong Zhong's honesty moved Murong Youqi, as he spoke with a serious face and smile: "Hehe, Hong Zhong, this friend of yours, I, Murong Youqi, have confirmed it in my life. "If you ever find yourself in trouble in the future, I will help you even if I have to sacrifice my life!"

It was merely two bags of cinnamon cake, yet they received the promise of Murong Youqi risking his life to save them. It could be seen that the dissolute and hedonistic Fourth Prince was actually a person who valued love and righteousness! Hong Zhong nodded her head, "Mn, to be able to become friends with the renowned and elegant Fourth Prince, Hong Zhong is not an honor to me either!"

The two of them continued to chat for a while, it was getting late, Hong Zhong clapped her hands and said, "You have to leave tomorrow, then rest early tonight, I will be going back."

"Alright." Murong Youqi looked at Hong Zhong's retreating back that was getting further and further away, with a determined look in his eyes. A friend? Who would have thought that Murong Youqi, who had lived a carefree life, would also have friends that he truly wanted to get to know!

… ….

The next day was the day Murong Youqi returned to his country.

As a woman who lived in the palace inner court, Hong Zhong didn't have the qualifications to see them off. Hence, she moved a chair along with the buns and dumplings, leisurely bathing in the sunlight in the courtyard of Xiwu Hall.

Hong Zhong's face was covered with a mask made from eggs and honey. Looking up at the sky, Lv Luo walked in quickly from outside the Xiwu Hall.

"What happened?" In this palace, other than major events, how could he be so happy?

Lv Luo quickly spoke, but it was not hard to tell from sher tone that she was in a good mood, "It was said that this morning, before the Fourth Prince of Dong Heng left for Dong Heng, he proposed a marriage proposal to the Emperor."

Hong Zhong looked into the sky: "Murong Youqi came to Southern Qi for the purpose of marriage, but unfortunately I was unable to help Yao Ji." Although he had indicated yesterday that she did not have any plans to get married, what if Dong Heng's envoy put pressure on him, or if he slept for the night, her brain was playing tricks on him!

Lv Luo shook her head, and said with a face full of seriousness: "That's not it, the princess who chose to marry off the Fourth Prince was not the well-loved Grand Princess, but Princess Yao Ji. They say that when Grand Princess found out about this, she directly went to the great hall and caused a ruckus with the Emperor. In her fury, the Emperor not only gave Grand Princess a slap in the face, he also agreed to Dong Heng's Fourth Prince's request for marriage, and said that the wedding would be held three months later. "

As Lv Luo said this, her face also carried a trace of happiness. Baili Ziyan had always been a high and mighty person, arrogant and despotic. Now that she saw her beloved one, she would rather marry an unfavored princess than lose her, such a punishment was too satisfying!

After Hong Zhong heard this, he fell into deep thought. For Murong Youqi, Baili Ziyan had actually caused a ruckus in the great hall in public. From the looks of it, Baili Ziyan's IQ was only mediocre. For a princess of a country to be so shameless, it would be strange if Baili Yi Chen didn't beat her up!

However, he still did it. He was truly a righteous person!

Just as she was sighing, she saw Baili Ziyan bringing a few people, angrily rushing towards her Xiwu Hall.
