Now, it was rumored that Prince Mu had returned to court after being defeated and could not take the blow. He was completely decadent in Prince Mu's residence and would call the ladies of the Pavilion of Delicacy to drink and laugh every day, willing to degenerate. The Emperor remembered that he had once rendered meritorious service to the country and rewarded him instead of punishing him. However, Prince Mu only wanted a jug of fine wine, so the Emperor would send people to give the best wine in the palace to Prince Mu every day.
At the entrance of the Pavilion of Delicacy, a heavily made-up brothel madame put away the silver notes in Wan 'er's hand and happily pulled Haoyue Yi, who was dressed in a prostitute's outfit, into a sedan chair.
"Rise!" The brothel madame shouted, and the seven palanquins outside the Pavilion of Delicacy were lifted up at the same time, heading towards Prince Mu's residence. Along the way, the passers-by all looked at him and pointed at him. Most of them mocked Qin Mufeng for being decadent and dissolute and not knowing much about state affairs. There were also a few people who lamented that a formidable man of his generation could not recover after a slight setback. How sad was that?
In the sedan chair, Haoyue Yi did not take it to heart. The common people in the market were just following the crowd's words. They did not know that the human heart was more sinister than a tiger. If he were to argue with them about this, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it even if he spent his entire life.
"Get off the palanquin." The voice of the brothel madame sounded again. Haoyue Yi only felt the palanquin shake slightly before it landed on the ground. At this moment, she could not wait to lift the curtain of the palanquin, only to see that the six prostitutes had already surrounded the door of Prince Mu's manor. Compared to them, his movements were still a little slow.
"All of you have been through a lot of hardships. Don't say that Aunt Gui didn't remind you. Be more reserved and don't do anything out of line.”
Haoyue Yi heard it clearly and smiled.
Don't worry, Aunty Gui. Us sisters only wish to take a look at the most handsome man in Yueli Kingdom from afar. If His Highness doesn't like him, we can't just blindly throw ourselves at him, can we?”
"That's right, Aunt Gui. Don't worry and go back. Just come and pick us up after Youshi.”
At this moment, a woman who could not wait gently knocked on the door. Haoyue Yi stood silently behind the crowd. He could not help but sigh in his heart. The heavens loved Qin Mufeng so much. Not only did they allow him to dominate the battlefield and be invincible, but they also bestowed him with a handsome face. While Haoyue Yi was thinking, the door of the mansion opened.
"His Highness is in the back garden.”The butler, who was over 60 years old, welcomed these women in with a helpless expression. Haoyue Yi walked at the back and heard the housekeeper's heavy sigh.
The buildings in the Mu family mansion were ingenious. There were pavilions, ponds, and waterside pavilions scattered among the willows and pines. There were also rockery, strange stones, flower beds, bonsai, and vines and bamboos.
Haoyue Yi followed the women who were rushing around the veranda and headed straight for the back garden.
"It smells so good! "Look, it's Prince Mu!" The women were ecstatic. Standing at the end of the veranda, Haoyue Yi felt a strange fragrance assaulting his nose. He saw flowers, strange grass, and immortal vines. In the middle of the garden, a four-sided pavilion rose from the ground. White marble pillars supported the main body of the pavilion. The road from the veranda to the pavilion was paved with white jade square bricks, and the orchids carved in pure gold were lifelike.
In the spacious pavilion, in front of the stone table, a tall figure stood alone with a pen in his hand. His white clothes were whiter than snow, and his black hair was gently fluttering. His long eyebrows were slanted into his temples, and his beautiful eyes were as bright as stars. Under his tall nose, his lips seemed too pale. Qin Mufeng was indeed worthy of being the most handsome man in Yueli Kingdom. His handsomeness was self-evident, and his body exuded a graceful aura. It was as if he was a divine general who had walked out of an ancient painting and accidentally entered this world of hell, causing blood to mess up the mortal world.
"Peony and the sisters pay their respects to Prince Mu.”A sweet voice rang out. The women stopped in front of the wide pavilion and bent down to salute.
"Listen up, other than this pavilion, go play anywhere else. I'm warning you, if you dare to approach the pavilion, be careful of your heads!”A deep voice suddenly sounded. At this moment, Haoyue Yi noticed the man beside Qin Mufeng. She recognized him. It was Running Thunder, the vanguard that Qin Mufeng relied on the most.
" Prince Mu…" One of the women called out unwillingly. A cold light flashed, and the next second, the shining dagger under the woman's feet sank into the ground.
" Ah!" When the woman screamed, the others scattered like birds and beasts.
Haoyue Yi stood rooted to the ground, his lips twitching. Indeed, he was as his name suggested. His temper was worse than thunder.
"Come here." The clear voice was like rain hitting celadon. When Haoyue Yi turned around, he heard a soft call. When he looked back, Qin Mufeng was looking up at him. His dark jade-like eyes were filled with elegance. They were ultimately not fated to meet such a direct immortal.
As she walked into the pavilion, Haoyue Yi immediately felt an extremely unfriendly gaze on her. She smiled and bowed.
"May I know why your highness called this little girl?”Haoyue Yi humbly spoke.
"Ink grinding." Qin Mufeng dipped his brush into the inkstone and carefully drew the picture on the table. He almost didn't look up at her. Haoyue Yi stood up and walked to the stone table. She rolled up her sleeves with one hand and picked up the ink stick with the other. She placed the grinding surface on the ink stone and began to grind it carefully in one direction.
At this moment, Haoyue Yi looked sideways and saw his own portrait in the ink. In the painting, she was wearing a green smoke shirt and a pleated skirt. She remembered very clearly that this was the outfit she wore when she saw him for the last time. Her heart felt like it was stuck in cotton, and she felt an inexplicable pain.
"Your Highness! Why are you still drawing her! If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have fallen to this state!”Ben Lei glared at the painting and said hatefully. Almost at the same time, Qin Mufeng suddenly looked up. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. Rushing Thunder choked.
"Wangye, forgive this subordinate for saying something that shouldn't be said. Miss Hao is already dead, why do you still have to endure this! The emperor clearly wants to ruin your reputation. As long as you say the word, it's not impossible to change the dynasty.”Although Ben Lei had a bad temper, he was meticulous. Otherwise, he would not have been relied on by Qin Mufeng.
" Yiyi isn't dead. She has always been in my heart…" A gentle voice rang out, but it was like the morning bell ringing in Haoyue Yi's heart.
"Wangye, she's already dead, please wake up!”Rushing Thunder said angrily.
"This king doesn't believe that Yiyi has already left.”Ye Junqing's brush was extremely light, and Haoyue Yi could see it. But why did he treat her like that back then? Why was it that the more she saw him like this, the more her heart ached?
"Even if your highness doesn't want to admit the fact that Miss Hao is dead, you don't have to tolerate the emperor's bullying! Your Highness should know better than this subordinate that this defeat was planned by the Emperor!”Ben Zhen said angrily.
"This king has to find a reason for his drunken stupor.”Qin Mufeng put down his ink brush and blew on the painting. His eyes revealed an unconcealable longing and longing.
"Your Highness! How much have you sacrificed for this woman in your life! But she only knows how to climb up the social ladder and actually wants to marry the emperor as his concubine. She owes you too much!!”Rushing Thunder's eyes were red as he roared fiercely. He reached out for the painting but was pushed back several meters by Qin Mufeng's palm and crashed into the white marble pillar.
"Your Highness!" Rushing Thunder roared in grief. Review: hch471000 Time:111420183: 30PM #Cancel review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
