"Bailiyou, can I ask you a question?" Mu Qingyan calmed down and spoke extremely calmly.
"What do you want to know?" The fragrance of the girl in his arms hit him, and Bailiyou wanted to rub her into his own flesh and blood.
This was the second time they were so close, and she didn't show any disgust, so he was satisfied.
Although he knew that his current behavior was very different from him, he had to do this, otherwise it would be difficult for him to like her with Qingyan's temperament.
It needs to be both soft and hard.
"Why do you like me so much?"
Bailiyou was startled, lowered his head and asked, "Now you know that I like you?" This woman finally realized it.
After knowing about it, I deliberately distanced myself and tried to distance myself from him.
Mu Qingyan nodded. She didn't believe it at first, but what happened later made her have to believe that Bailiyou was really not because of her identity, nor because of the prophecy of the national master.
"There's no reason. It happened a long time ago." Bailiyou couldn't explain clearly. It was probably the feelings accumulated over time since childhood.
In addition, another life has passed, so he has decided it anyway.
They can be considered childhood sweethearts, but this little childhood sweetheart is not clear-headed.
The person I fell in love with was not him.
Mu Qingyan found this answer unbelievable, but she had to believe it. There seemed to be no other reason.
Just like my brother fell in love with Sister Rou inadvertently, there is no reason.
She sighed, "But I don't like you." Even if she would like him one day, she couldn't and couldn't. She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
"I will accompany you." Bailiyou suddenly changed his title, gently held her face, and asked her to look at him, "I know that you no longer have the same feelings for your second brother. You are my
The Crown Princess, do you know?"
He still hopes that Mu Qingyan can truly accept him from the bottom of her heart, not because of some family compromise.
Sure enough, he actually knew everything.
Mu Qingyan smiled bitterly. Because of this, she felt even more sorry for him.
Her eyes were suddenly covered, and everything in front of her was suddenly dark. Then she heard Bailiyou's voice, "I don't like your look." It was too complicated, so complicated that he didn't want to think too much about it.
"good."
Hearing her obedient answer, Bailiyou smiled with satisfaction before letting her go.
After getting relief, Mu Qingyan could finally breathe normally, but the blush on her face had not faded, and she looked particularly attractive.
"I'll give you time, but you can't hide from me anymore." What's more, even if she can hide for a while, after her sixteenth birthday, she will still have to marry into the East Palace and face him every day.
Can Mu Qingyan refuse? No, she can only nod honestly.
"So good."
Bailiyou still has government affairs to deal with, otherwise he would be reluctant to leave.
He opened the door, and the two people standing at the door immediately turned around and said, "Go in and serve your lady."
"Yes." Fenxiang quickly entered the room.
Before leaving, Bailiyou's eyes stayed on Mu Qi for a moment, then looked back at Mu Qingyan, and said warmly: "I will pick you up in two days. If necessary, you can send Mu Qi to the East Palace to find me."
Mu Qingyan nodded and watched him leave.
As soon as the real owner left, Fenxiang immediately started gossiping and looked at her with starry eyes, "Miss."
"Stop." Mu Qingyan immediately stopped her from asking questions, and the little girl kept asking questions again.
Fenxiang curled her lips, she was really curious about what His Highness the Prince said to the young lady.
Mu Qi had a cold expression on his face. Fenxiang didn't know but he had heard it. He should have stayed away from the beginning.
"Fennel, go prepare the meal."
"Yes." Fenxiang immediately went to give instructions to the kitchen, still feeling a little regretful in her heart, thinking why did the young lady not allow His Highness to eat?
In fact, Mu Qingyan never thought of keeping him at all.
Mu Qingyan was sitting at the table, lost in thought, when she suddenly heard Mu Qi's voice, "The young lady has something on her mind."
The tone was very certain.
And it is most likely related to the prince. He just noticed that the lady's expression was not right.
She raised her head and smiled, her words weak, "I really can't hide anything from you."
Mu Qi felt distressed, but he couldn't do anything. He was just a little secret guard, so he could only comfort him verbally.
"Mu Qi, how's your investigation going?" Mu Qingyan changed the topic, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
"Mu Yan and the others are inquiring." Mu Qi paused and then asked, "Do you want the young lady to inform the crown prince?"
With the help of the Crown Prince, progress will be faster.
"No, the time is not enough. We can't let brother know too much now." Mu Qingyan refused decisively. Even if her brother knew about her rebirth, she did not dare to take the risk.
Mu Qi pursed his lips and chose to speak out after a moment, "But Miss, with your own strength, there will be no way out if you are discovered."
Although Mu Yan and the others are elites, King Qi is a cunning person and has many supporters, so it is inevitable that they will make mistakes while busy.
Mu Qingyan nodded, then stood up and walked to the desk, took out the letter paper and wrote something with a pen. After the ink dried, she packed it up and handed it to Mu Qi.
"Give this letter to Cousin Jiang."
Mu Qi took the paper, turned and left.
After all, they had to be involved, Mu Qingyan sighed softly.
When Fenxiang came back after giving the instructions, she found that Mu Qi was not there, so she curiously asked, "Where is the guard Mu?"
"You seem to care about him very much?" Mu Qingyan raised her eyebrows and stared at Fenxiang thoughtfully and asked.
Fenxiang's pretty face froze, and she blushed after realizing what she said, "Miss! Please don't make fun of me."
"Really? Mu Qi has been following me for many years. If you two are in love, I can consider marrying you to him." Mu Qi is steady in his work, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, while Fenxiang is lively and playful. The two of them complement each other perfectly.
Seeing her serious look, Fenxiang's face turned pale with fright, and she shook her head like a rattle, "I don't want it, I want you to stay with me all the time."
"What? Mu Qi is not good enough for you?"
Fenxiang explained with a bitter face: "Guard Mu is very nice, but the slave girl is really not as good as Miss said he is. Miss, please don't mess around with me."
She was still young and didn't want to get married so early, and Mu Qi was not what she had in mind.
It seems that Mu Qi is rather affectionate towards the young lady.
Fenxiang thought silently in her heart, she must not have dared to ask this question, she was just guessing.
Mu Qingyan laughed, her originally depressed mood swept away, "I'm just teasing you, but you still take it seriously."
Fenxiang pouted and turned his head away.
"What? You dare to be angry with me? Believe it or not, I will punish you by not going on an outing with me."
Fenxiang turned back sharply, her face turned pale, and she looked at her in disbelief.
Seeing the little girl's frightened expression, Mu Qingyan couldn't help laughing.
Knowing that she was being teased, Fenxiang's face turned red and her eyes were bright. As long as the lady is happy, that's fine.
She likes to see the young lady smile, but doesn't like her frowning face.
The lady should smile more.
"By the way Fenxiang, go find the set of clothes the prince gave you, and prepare two more gorgeous but less cumbersome ones."
Fenxiang immediately beamed and got ready actively.
It still works for His Highness the Prince, and the young lady is willing to wear it now.
