Chapter 393 The Origin of Bad Fate
"Mother, I just want Liang Yuhua!" Murong Jun's tone softened, and he suddenly knelt down at Madam Zhaohua's feet, his eyes filled with pleading, like a cat begging for food.
He recalled that some time ago, he deliberately went to look for that girl. Liang Yuhua's panic-stricken look made his heart feel like being gently brushed by a feather, making it itchy and uncomfortable.
Mrs. Zhaohua looked at her son's obsessed expression and alarm bells began to ring in her heart.
She knew too well this child who had always wanted to get whatever she wanted since she was young - the flash in her eyes was clearly the obsession of winning.
"Jun'er," she suppressed her anger and pinched her palm with her fingertips, "What is the current situation of the Liang family? Concubine Liang and her son are still imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison! How can you ask your mother to tell your father about this?"
If she were a girl from an ordinary family, she would have arranged to marry her into the mansion long ago.
This is the first time since my son became an adult that he cares so much about a girl.
But she happened to be the daughter of the Liang family - that was a hot potato!
"Mother still hasn't figured out how Concubine Liang and her son offended your father. We can't act rashly..."
The emperor handled the matter swiftly and decisively, and not a single rumor leaked out.
Madam Zhaohua had to be cautious.
Murong Jun stood up suddenly, and the hem of his brocade robe swept over the teacup on the table, spilling the brewed tea onto the luxurious carpet, leaving a dark mark.
"I don't care!" He paced back and forth in the palace like a trapped animal, the jade pendant on his waist shaking violently with his movements, "I want Liang Yuhua! If mother doesn't help, I will go and ask father for help myself!"
Madam Zhaohua was so angry that she felt dizzy and she held on to the chaise longue to avoid falling down.
This evil creature!
She had worked so hard for so many years, was it going to be ruined by a little girl?
"Stop right there!" she shouted, her voice so sharp that it almost broke.
But Murong Jun had already walked away, slamming the palace door with a deafening bang.
The palace maids serving in the corridor were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. They only heard the footsteps of the fifth prince getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared at the end of the palace corridor.
-
Speaking of this ill-fated relationship, it really was fate.
That day, Concubine Liang and Madam Zhaohua secretly colluded and set up a vicious plan to frame the third prince.
When the fifth prince Murong Jun got the news, he excitedly made an appointment with his cousin Chen Zhengquan and specially chose a teahouse opposite the third prince's residence and booked a private room facing the street, just waiting to watch a good show.
Murong Jun leaned lazily against the carved window frame, playing with a wine glass with his fingertips.
The street market downstairs was noisy, with the hawkers' cries rising and falling, but he just stared at the vermilion lacquered gate of the Third Prince's Mansion opposite, afraid of missing out on any good show.
Chen Zhengquan sat aside, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
Thinking of the child trafficking case last year, he still feels a burning hatred.
Although the butler Chen San was finally put forward to take the blame, his father Chen Ben still sent him out of the capital overnight and did not allow him to return even during the New Year.
Those days of wandering outside were more painful than killing him.
"Don't worry, cousin," Murong Jun narrowed his eyes, his eyes were cold, "I will make Murong Ji fall hard this time, and let you vent your anger!"
Chen Zhengquan's expression eased slightly after hearing this, and he raised his glass and clinked it with his cousin's.
He gritted his teeth and said, "He deserved it for letting him hurt me!"
Thinking of the humiliation of being taken away in public at the Fifth Prince's wedding banquet, the veins in his hand holding the wine glass bulged, as if he wanted to crush the cup.
To this day, they still believe that the child trafficking case was deliberately uncovered by the Third Prince to deal with the Chen family, and they have never found out that Lu Jiangnian was behind it.
Murong Jun put his arm around Chen Zhengquan's shoulders affectionately and whispered in his ear: "If you dare to touch my cousin, I will make him pay tenfold!"
He had been inseparable from Chen Zhengquan since childhood. During the time when his cousin was away from the capital, he even found riding a horse boring.
No matter how beautiful the wives and concubines in the mansion are, they cannot compare to the pleasure of riding horses, drinking and having fun with my cousin.
What's the point of being a woman?
-
Murong Jun and Chen Zhengquan were toasting each other when they suddenly glanced downstairs.
The sun shone gently on the long street. A girl in a goose yellow gauze dress was talking to her maid.
She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with skin whiter than snow, almond eyes and rosy cheeks. When she smiled, the corners of her eyes drooped slightly, giving her a bit of naive and childish charm.
A breeze blew by, blowing up a few strands of black hair on her temples. The girl raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear, revealing a white wrist as white as jade.
"That is..." The wine cup in Murong Jun's hand suddenly tilted, and he didn't even notice that the wine spilled on his brocade robe.
His eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet and could not be moved away at all.
Chen Zhengquan followed his cousin's gaze and smiled playfully, "Liang Yuhua, the maid from the second branch of the Liang family."
He narrowed his eyes and licked his lips as if savoring something delicious. "She is indeed very pretty. I teased her before and she was so embarrassed that her ears turned red. She couldn't even speak a word and was very shy."
Seeing Murong Jun still staring at the street corner, Chen Zhengquan suddenly moved closer and breathed in the Fifth Prince's ear with the smell of alcohol: "What? Your Highness also likes this delicate flower?"
He shook his glass proudly, "It seems that we brothers have the same vision."
Murong Jun seemed not to hear.
Murong Jun's soul seemed to be captured by the goose-yellow shadow. He froze in front of the window, and even his breathing became cautious.
He stared at the pretty figure infatuatedly - the girl was taking a crystal clear candied haws from the old man. When her fingertips touched the sugar coating, she smiled with her eyebrows curved, and that smile was brighter than the peach blossoms in spring.
The honey-colored sugar coating of the candied haws glowed amber-like in the sunlight. When the girl took a small bite, the sugar stains accidentally got on the corners of her cherry lips.
She just stretched out her pink tongue and gently licked it like a kitten licking milk, and the sweetness disappeared between her lips and teeth.
Murong Jun swallowed unconsciously, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.
Until the bright color was completely lost in the crowd in the street, the Fifth Prince remained leaning forward, unaware that his sleeves were stained with wine.
His soul seemed to have drifted away with the goose yellow figure, leaving only an empty shell standing in front of the window.
"I see……"
Murong Jun muttered to himself, his right hand unconsciously pressing on his left chest.
There were waves of strange throbbing coming from there, and my heart was beating so fast and heavy that it almost broke through the shackles of my ribs.
He finally understood what "love at first sight" as described in those storybooks felt like - it was like someone poured a pot of strong liquor on your head, making you numb from the top of your head to your toes.
"cousin……"
His voice was terribly hoarse, as if it hadn't been touched by water for a long time, "It turns out that I also like women's."
He turned around slowly, his eyes flashing with deep determination, "I want her."
Chen Zhengquan was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
He patted Murong Jun's shoulder with such force that he almost knocked him into the ground: "My silly prince! Of course you like women!"
He winked and lowered his voice, "Could it be that... you have always thought that you like men?"
Chen Zhengquan leaned close to Murong Jun's ear and breathed in his ear with the smell of alcohol: "This matter cannot be rushed. It is safest to let my aunt come forward."
A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, "That girl has a brother, although he has no ability, he is very protective of his brother. Your Highness must not act recklessly and upset the emperor."
At that time, Murong Jun was thinking about taking this opportunity to let his mother know that he didn't like any of those mediocre women in the mansion.
As soon as the time was right, he asked his mother for help and brought Liang Yuhua into the mansion.
Who would have thought that just when the game was halfway through, the Liang family was suddenly involved in a major case of treason.
Fate played such a trick on people that even the Fifth Prince, who had always acted willfully, was shocked.
