Today, the Jade Crown was extremely lively. The streets were filled with young men and women, all of them dressed up meticulously and went out in hopes of getting a good marriage.
The hawkers on both sides of the street were hawking their wares. Some people were selling red heart-tied knots, heart-tied locks, and heart-tied jade pendants. Some of them had many beautiful lanterns at the side, inviting guests to guess the riddles. There were also some hawkers selling all kinds of snacks…
The originally bustling street became quiet because of a person's intrusion. Both men and women on the street were quietly looking at her unconsciously.
This person was Ming Cheya. At this moment, she was squatting in front of a stall, carefully watching the master quickly make a small doll.
Master Wang, who was originally focused on making puppets, suddenly found three people squatting in front of him. They were looking at him attentively while discussing curiously. He could not help but raise his eyebrows.
"Wow, Princess, these dolls are so cute. Just like a real person." Manzhu looked at the mannequins she had made and took out one of them.
"Yes." Although she was replying, Ming Cheya was still staring intently at what Master Wang was doing.
Hearing the word "princess", Master Wang was a little shocked. He quickly raised his head and thought,"Could it be the princess of the palace?"!
In the end, he saw a beautiful woman in red. This made Master Wang a little stunned. Seeing Puppeteer looking up at her, Ming Cheya immediately pointed at herself and said,""Be me."
Hearing this, Master Wang came back to his senses and immediately nodded to show that he understood. He put down the half-finished product in his hand and picked up another clay ball. After a while, it slowly took shape. When Master Wang finished painting, the tiny doll was a miniature version of Ming Cheya.
"Wow, so similar." Manzhu sighed and immediately asked Master Wang," Make another one of me and him."”
As he spoke, he pointed at Sha Hua. After a while, Manzhu and Sha Hua's little puppets were also done.
Holding the mannequins, Manzhu and Sha Hua stood at the side and kept sighing at the magic. He didn't expect a mortal's hands to be so skillful!
On the other side, Master Wang saw that the woman in red was still looking at him coldly. He swallowed nervously and asked,"Miss, is there anything else?”
Ming Cheya, who was considering whether she should make a doll herself, was silent for a moment before she said,""I want a puppet of the Abyss."
When Master Wang heard that the woman in red dared to call King Jing by his name, he was shocked for a moment and did not react for a moment.
Seeing that Master Wang did not answer her for a long time, Ming Cheya frowned and asked,""Can't you do it without seeing anyone?”
"No, I know, I know." Master Wang quickly replied.
So he quickly picked up another mud ball and started to knead it. As he pinched it, he thought, Could this woman be the one King Jing brought back this time?
Ming Cheya was still staring at Master Wang's movements. She wanted to see how he molded a person into a shape and carved out his facial features. Ming Cheya's expression softened when she saw the doll gradually take on the appearance of a mortal.
Ming Cheya held her doll and Abyss's doll in her hands at the same time. She looked at them carefully and couldn't put them down.
"Master, how much is it?" Manzhu asked.
"Fifteen coins each." Master Wang raised his head and smiled.
"Here." Manzhu took out the money pouch she had exchanged for a few days ago and took out two taels of silver from it and handed it to him.
Master Wang took it and looked up with some confusion."Customer, I don't have that much change for you.”
"No need." Manzhu narrowed her eyes and nodded happily." Our princess is very happy. I'll give the rest to you."”
Before Master Wang could react, Manzhu had already run far away in order to catch up with Princess and Sha Hua.
Master Wang looked at the backs of the three people, and the word "princess" once again reached his ears. He had lived in the Jade Crown for decades, but he had never seen those three people. At that moment, Master Wang was certain that it was the woman King Jing had brought back not long ago.
At this moment, the people who had noticed the situation began to discuss.
"Have you seen that red-clothed woman before?”A young woman in light yellow clothes said to her good friend sourly.
"I haven't seen him before."
"Sigh, it seems like another strong enemy has appeared this year.”Not far away, an older woman was silently sad. It seemed that there was no hope for this year again.
The men on the other side also began to get excited.
"Wow, which family's young lady is that? I really want to get to know them." As he said that, he unconsciously followed behind Ming Cheya and the other two.
Of course, Ming Cheya, who was watching the street show with great interest, did not notice this phenomenon.
At the same time, Chen Yuan and Marquis Yuan Ze were listening to the top actress, Yu Ze 'er, playing the zither and drinking wine in a top-class room of the largest brothel in Jade Mian-Red Brothel.
Yuan Ze hugged the beauty beside him. His peach blossom eyes were extremely charming as he looked at Chen Yuan, who was sitting alone, and teased,"Why? Are you afraid that your husband will find out? He didn't even call her 'Beauty' when he came to 'Dream of the Red Chamber'.”
However, what Yuan Ze didn't expect was that Shen Yuan actually generously expressed that this was the case.
Yuan Ze was a little surprised, but he immediately regained his senses and said with a smile,"I'm even curious about what she looks like.”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled but didn't say anything. However, he was still thinking about Ming Cheya, who had yet to recover from her injuries.
"I'm going back in a while." Chen Yuan put down his wine glass and looked up.
Seeing Chen Yuan's absent-minded expression, Yuan Ze sighed and said with some heartache,"Go back, go back. You're a guy who forgets his friends when he sees women."
At this moment, for some reason, the Red Chamber became noisy. Even Chen Yuan and Yuan Ze, who were in the private room on the top floor, heard the commotion downstairs.
"Why is it so noisy outside?" Yuan Ze asked curiously. Then, he let go of the person who was pouring wine for him and walked to the window to open it. He looked down and saw Ming Cheya who was walking up the stairs.
At that moment, Yuan Ze could no longer hear any other sounds other than his own heartbeat. All he could see was the woman standing on the stairs and looking at him.
Ming Cheya turned her head and looked at the room with the window open. After confirming that the mortal was indeed inside, she walked towards her destination. She completely didn't notice Yuan Ze who was standing by the window.
The brothel madame, Moon Breeze, who had wanted to stop Ming Cheya from entering, was now blocked by Man Zhu and Sha Hua, preventing her from getting close to Ming Cheya. Meanwhile, the guests who were teasing the women in the hall of the Red Chamber also stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at Ming Cheya who was heading upstairs.
Finally, someone reacted and looked at Ming Cheya with a pair of dirty eyes. He shouted at Moon Breeze,""Moon Breeze, is this a newcomer to your Red Chamber? How much would you pay for her to accompany me for a night?”
However, just as he finished speaking, that person suddenly fell down. A woman from the Dream of the Red Chamber immediately squatted down and wanted to ask what was going on. She did not expect to find that the person had already stopped breathing.
"Dead." The woman from the Dream of the Red Chamber stood up with a pale face, staring at Ming Cheya and the other two with fear in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, the customers who had wanted to clamor immediately fell silent, their faces filled with fear. After a while, everyone reacted and quickly fled.
Moon Breeze watched as the guests in the building ran away because of the three people who suddenly barged in. Although they were afraid, the anger in their hearts surpassed fear when they thought of the white silver leaving them like this. He immediately chased after Ming Cheya and the other two, who had already reached the top floor, angrily.
Ming Cheya pushed open the door and saw that the mortal had his back to her. Her gaze softened and she walked up to sit beside him.
Chen Yuan, who had known that someone would come in, turned around and saw Ming Cheya, who was supposed to be resting in the residence. He was more surprised than happy and said with some blame,""Why did you run out? Wasn't his body still not well? Also, why are you here?”
"I want to come out for a walk. The capital is very lively today." Ming Cheya looked at Chen Yuan and said gently.
Sensing her happy mood, Chen Yuan sighed silently and said,""Remember to let me know when you come out next time.”
"Yes." Ming Cheya nodded.
Then, she took out the red spider lily that she had just plucked from her interspatial bag and handed it to Shen Yuan."This is for you."
When Manzhu and Sha Hua, who were standing at the side as the background, saw this, they looked at each other in understanding. See, the princess had indeed given the flower to this demon.
Yuanze, who was still standing by the window and had just confirmed that he had fallen in love with someone, felt his heart shatter when he saw the person he liked take out flowers and give them to Chen Yuan. Why did he find out that someone he liked already had someone he liked when he finally found someone he liked? Furthermore, he even sent flowers in front of him on the day of the Begging for Qiao Festival!
This simply couldn't be more torturous to him, alright?! Chen Yuan looked at Ming Cheya in surprise. He did not expect her to give him flowers today.
Ming Cheya frowned when she saw that the mortal did not move.""You don't want it?"
At the same time, he was very frustrated. According to the butler, if he didn't take it, he didn't want it. Originally, it was just a spur of the moment, so it was fine if he didn't want it.
However, this made Ming Cheya feel something she had never felt before. She felt her heart ache. This unfamiliar feeling made her feel a little helpless.
Just as Ming Cheya was about to take back the flowers, Chen Yuan took them first.""I was just too happy just now, so I didn't react in time. The flowers are very beautiful. Thank you."
As he spoke, Chen Yuan raised his hand and gently stroked Ming Cheya's cheek.
Ming Cheya looked at the smile on the mortal's face. After confirming that he was not lying, the strange feeling in her heart disappeared instantly. Even her expression, which had become colder due to nervousness, softened.
