In order to avoid any more complications, Qingcheng sat in her original spot and didn't move. She only looked at the moonlight in the sky and thought about all the things that had happened in the past few days. There was happiness, sadness, fear, and a little deer in her heart. It was undeniable that she was very angry at the Crown Prince's overbearing actions, but there was also a trace of a strange aftertaste in her anger. Her first kiss was stolen by him, and she could not completely ignore it.
"I finally found you!" A pair of strong arms wrapped around Qingcheng's waist.
"Ah! Let me go!" Qingcheng struggled in his arms, embarrassed and angry.""If you don't let go, I'll shout for help!”
"Go ahead and shout. You're the one who's at a disadvantage!”"I would wait for a rabbit on the roof every night. I didn't expect to catch a big rabbit today." Jin Yuqi bent over and said.”
"You're the rabbit!" Qingcheng turned around in his arms and was surprised to see the crown prince's handsome face looking at her with a smile that was not a smile.
"Tell me, who are you?" Jin Yuqi grabbed her arm and said in an unquestionable voice.
The two of them stood on the roof of Changrui Palace.
"Then who are you?" Qingcheng asked deliberately. She was so angry that she didn't want to tell him, and she couldn't tell her either. She was still thinking about his rudeness just now, but she did not expect him to appear.
Jin Yuqi suddenly stared at Qingcheng's beautiful face and couldn't help but stroke her hair.""You're so beautiful!"
"Don't be rude!" Qingcheng used her other hand to brush away his touch.""As expected of a lecher!" The Crown Prince of the Golden Gilt Country was too frivolous and lustful!
"Aren't you happy that I praised your beauty?" Jin Yuqi looked at her with a smile.”
"Alright, then let's stand here and admire the moon.”"I came up here to admire the moon."”
"Which palace are you from? Were you the one at the Blazing Flame Pond last time?”
"I don't know what you're talking about." Qingcheng pretended to be confused. I only thought that the moon was especially beautiful on the roof of the palace, so I came up. Then which palace are you from?”
"Hehe, you're quite bold. You actually dare to spout nonsense without even knowing who I am.”Jin Yuqi looked into her eyes. It seemed familiar.
"If it wasn't for your rudeness, I wouldn't be so rude.”Qingcheng wasn't afraid of the Crown Prince at all. He only had a nose and two eyes.
"Forget it, it's better if you don't know. I'm afraid I'll scare you.”Jin Yuqi deliberately kept him in suspense. He thought that if the other party knew his identity, he would probably not be so arrogant. He knew that she was a sentimental person.
Qingcheng thought of a way to escape.
"Don't think about escaping. It's not that easy."”
"Is that so?"
Looking at her fair face, Jin Yuqi had an ominous feeling.
Qingcheng suddenly squatted down.”
Jin Yuqi still held her arm and squatted down. He smiled and said,""I've seen this kind of little trick many times.”His good sister had used it a few times.
Qingcheng didn't say anything and suddenly threw herself at him.
Jin Yuqi's instinctive reaction was to stretch out his arms to catch her.
He didn't expect Qingcheng to take advantage of the situation and hit his acupuncture point. Then, she nimbly jumped to the side and rolled a few times before falling off the roof. While her body was still in mid-air, she kicked hard with her feet and used the momentum to spin. In just a few moments, she landed safely on the ground. Then, he jumped onto the roof again and passed through several roofs under Jin Yuqi's eyes, disappearing into the dark night.
Merciless appeared from the shadows and unlocked his acupuncture points."Master, do you want to chase after them?"
"Forget it, she might not come again. It's a fortuitous encounter.”Jin Yuqi looked in the direction she disappeared.
Actually, he had intentionally let her go. He had seen many beautiful women, but she was the only one who could make his eyes light up. He would just let her live in his dreams!
At noon the next day, the moment Qingcheng had been waiting for finally arrived. She, Qingfeng, and Mingyue left through the Leaving Gate under the guidance of the palace maid.
Looking at the red walls and green tiles of the palace for the last time, Qingcheng felt emotional. From now on, she would have nothing to do with the palace. Everything that happened in the past had become the past. She would just treat everything that happened last night as a dream. When she woke up from the dream, she would still be the young lady of the Murong Clan, Murong Qingcheng.
"Miss, I really can't bear to leave after staying here for so long.”Qing Feng said as he looked at the palace.
"Yeah, me too." Brightmoon said.
"What should come will come, and what should leave will definitely leave. Let's go, the carriage from the residence should be here soon.”Qingcheng didn't even turn her head after she finished speaking.
Just as he was about to leave the Leaving Gate, he suddenly heard Female Official Chen's voice from behind him,""Miss Mu Rong, please wait!"
Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there were more complications?""Milord, is there anything else?"
"Miss Mu Rong, we received an urgent report from outside the palace last night, saying that the mother of the candidate Ji Min Min has passed away. According to the rules of the Jinliu Country's Consort Selection, if the candidate has a funeral during the selection period, it will be considered unlucky and she will not be able to participate in the Consort Selection for the next three years. Moreover, Ji Minmin personally requested that you stay behind to replace her in the appointment ceremony in a few days. This is also what we three female officials want.”
"But, I…" Qingcheng hesitated.
Qing Feng and Ming Yue looked at the young miss. They didn't know if they should cry or laugh.
"Miss Mu Rong, please return to Changrui Palace. This is a rule that cannot be violated.”said Female Official Chen.
Qingcheng looked at Li Ding Gate behind her. Although they were only one step away from each other, she felt that they were so far away! The people who came with her had all been sent away, and a deep sense of helplessness rose in her heart. Was this fate?
The three of them returned to Changrui Palace.
Seeing that the young lady was unhappy, Qing Feng advised,""Miss, don't worry. Even if you were to stay, you would still be ranked last. The Crown Prince will definitely not choose you to be the Crown Princess. Mingyue, what do you think?"
"That's right, Miss. It wasn't the time to be certain yet.”Brightmoon said.
"Alright, stop comforting me. I'm unhappy because Min Min's mother passed away. She entered the palace to cure her mother's illness. She must be very sad now. Sigh, it's a pity that we can't send her off.”
Just as they were talking, an unfamiliar palace maid came in and handed Qingcheng a letter, saying that Miss Ji Minmin had repeatedly instructed her to pass it to Miss Murong Qingcheng.
Qingcheng thanked the palace maid and opened the letter." Qingcheng's elder sister said," Thank you for taking care of me over the past few days, elder sister. Unfortunately, my mother passed away suddenly. Minmin had no choice but to leave the palace in tears. The palace has no meaning to me anymore." Sister, don't worry. I will pull myself together and become a vegetarian. I will recite scriptures and mourn for my mother for three years. I hope that you will take good care of yourself, cherish the good times, and find a lover to spend the rest of your life with. Minmin will always be grateful for your kindness. I will offer incense to the Buddha and pray for your safety and longevity.
His sister Minmin wept as she looked at the tear stains on the letter. She felt indescribably uncomfortable.
"Miss, if you want to cry, cry. It will be more comfortable.”Qing Feng said.
"Qingfeng and Mingyue, I'm tired. I want to take a rest and think about how to proceed.”
"Alright, we'll stand guard outside the door. Call us if you need anything.”
"Go ahead."
The sisters left, leaving the space for the young miss.
Qingcheng's heart had always been uneasy, as if it was hanging in midair. Perhaps she could only truly sleep soundly after the crown prince's consort selection was over.
After the officials reported the important matters, the emperor Jin Tianxiang asked,""Empress, is there any news regarding the Crown Prince's consort selection?”
Empress Nalan replied," Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's consort selection has already been prepared. The women to be selected have already been selected. We are just waiting for the Crown Prince to personally select the Crown Prince's consort on an auspicious day."”
Jin Tianxiang looked at the highly respected state preceptor and said,""Imperial Preceptor, is there an auspicious day?”
Jin Yuqi was also in the court. He glared at the old state preceptor who was eager to see the world in chaos."State Preceptor, you have to be accurate!"
The Imperial Advisor stood up and counted with his fingers.""Reporting to the country ruler, it will be the fifteenth in three days, and it will be the auspicious day for the crown prince to choose his consort!”
"Good! According to Imperial Tutor, the 15th of this month will be the day of the Crown Prince's consort selection!”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Nalan Xiuhui agreed and secretly looked at the Crown Prince's reaction. The Crown Prince's expression was unhappy, but he did not say anything extreme. Only then did she feel relieved.
The moment the country ruler spoke, the happiest person in the court was Qian Bi Zhan. His daughter had the highest chance of becoming the Crown Princess, so how could he not be proud?
Murong Youdao was the complete opposite of him. Who knew how many days it would be before his precious daughter could return home?
Empress Nalan of Fengyi Palace returned to the palace from the morning court, followed by Jin Yuqi.
"Qi 'er, three days later is fifteen auspicious days. What else do you have to say?”
"Mother, I've already looked through the candidates on the balcony and didn't find anyone I like.”Jin Yuqi said bluntly.
"It is naturally impossible to like someone just by looking at them. You will only develop feelings after a long time. No matter, you can only choose those that you think are beautiful and pleasing to the eye. As for the rest, mother will make the decision for you.”The arrow was already on the bowstring and had no choice but to be fired.
"But the state preceptor?" Jin Yuqi pretended to be troubled.
"Imperial Preceptor has his own reasons. Mother will still respect your choice!”Nalan Xiuhui said.
Jin Yuqi was waiting for his mother to say this. He immediately said,"Thank you, mother! Your son will definitely choose a satisfactory Crown Princess. Mother, please remember what you said just now. When the time comes, don't go back on your words. Your son will take his leave first!"
Before the Empress could react, Jin Yuqi had already strode out of Feng Yi Palace.
"Lan Xin, what did the crown prince mean just now?”
"Niangniang, you said that you would respect the Crown Prince's choice, and the Crown Prince also said that he would choose a Crown Princess that he was satisfied with.”Lan Xin replied.
"You Qi 'er, you actually dug a hole for Imperial Mother to jump into.”Nalan Xiuhui couldn't help but get angry." He means that if there isn't a candidate that he's satisfied with, he'd rather the position of Crown Princess remain empty." And BenGong as the mother can only respect his choice!”
"Indeed, Empress."
The news that the Crown Prince was going to personally select the Crown Princess on the fifteenth of this month immediately spread from the palace to the entire country. Naturally, the message was also passed to Qingcheng. Coincidentally, she had chosen the fifteenth. The full moon night would be her sleepless night again!
Time flew by, and after three days, the palace began to be bustling with noise and excitement. Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and even the faces of the palace maids and inner servants revealed a joyous expression.
The selected women could not hide their excitement and joy. They all got up early and began to dress up. They wanted to be as beautiful as possible. This was a matter of life and could not be careless. It was really a thousand different styles and ten thousand different styles! Their eyes were full of spring and their faces were full of peach blossoms, making the palace look especially colorful.
Qingcheng in Changrui Palace, on the other hand, did not change much. She wore a plain dress, had light makeup, and her hairpins were the same as before. She did not look as excited as she was about to participate in the competition.
"Qingfeng and Mingyue, according to the rules, you can stay here. I should be back soon.”
"Miss, be careful." Qing Feng said.
"Well, now that things have come to this, we can only leave it to fate.”Qingcheng smiled bitterly.
The two sisters watched as the young lady walked down the long corridor step by step, as if she was walking towards an unknown fate.
