Chapter 277 Prepared a Surprise
It just so happens that when she helps the prince deal with Ling Jingxuan, it will also make the prince in a good mood and allow him to marry her in a grand ceremony!
Although Lin Xiafeng arrived at Wangjiang Tower, she deliberately avoided Prince Duan and his men, so they did not meet.
However, Murong Ce not only showed up, but also sat at the same table with Prince Duan and others.
Qin Qingyao, "Great Military Advisor Murong, long time no see. You seem to have become much whiter. Have you been staying at home lately instead of going out to bask in the sun?"
Qin Qingyao was just joking, but Murong Ce answered seriously, "I was feeling a little unwell a few days ago, so I haven't been out for a long time."
"Ah? Are you sick? Is it serious? Are you well now?"
Murong Ce smiled and nodded, "I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, Princess."
In fact, Qin Qingyao felt quite guilty. It was she who kept Mo Rongce, but after he stayed, she didn't seem to pay much attention to him. She was really unfriendly.
Murong Ce is really a bit aloof and eccentric. He doesn't have many friends here, and he never takes the initiative to find anyone to play with. If he gets sick or something happens to him, it seems that no one will know.
"You're welcome. We're all friends. If you have nothing to do, come visit the palace often."
"Okay, sure."
Dugu Yu picked up a small mushroom with chopsticks and brought it to Qin Qingyao's mouth, "Try it. I don't think we have ever made this small mushroom at home. If you like it, I'll ask the kitchen to buy some."
Qin Qingyao was so engrossed in the delicious food that she forgot to continue chatting with Murong Ce.
Dugu Yu's strong attitude of "protecting food" was also very obvious. Ling Jingxuan and Mo Rongce smiled with their heads down, but there was no joy in their eyes.
The others were so focused on the situation that they didn't notice that the prince was trying to make himself feel important and shamelessly feeding the princess...
After coming out of Wangjiang Tower, Lin Xiafeng went to see the prince and described in detail how glorious Ling Jingxuan was today. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and overturned the table. He really wanted to kill the Zhao family a hundred times!
"Your Highness, I have a way to help you completely expel Prince Duan from the court. Do you want to hear it?"
…
On the first day of November, the prince went to see Murong Ce.
Lin Xiafeng and Murong Ce failed to reach an agreement, so this time the prince took the lead. Although Ling Jingyu himself felt that the prince was a coward and was very angry.
At that time, he had to admit that without the help of Lin Xiafeng and Murong Ce, he would continue to be suppressed by Ling Jingxuan and feel suffocated!
Anyway, those who achieve great things must be able to bend and stretch. Once he gets what he wants, no one in this world will dare to point fingers at him or give him a hard time!
"Military Advisor Murong!"
"Your Highness, is there something wrong?"
"There are indeed some things that require the military advisor's help."
The impression Murong Ce gave Ling Jingxuan was that he was extremely overbearing, difficult to get along with, and extremely annoying! So unless there was something big that forced him to bow down, he basically didn't want to see Murong Ce.
At the beginning, Murong Ce was willing to help him with only one condition, that is, the prince had to do what he decided, without any suggestions, free expression, or asking why.
Otherwise, we will go our separate ways. Since you don't listen to me, I won't play with you anymore.
That was Murong Ce, Dugu Yu's military advisor, someone that neither his father, the emperor, nor that powerful Prince Duan could win over or keep. Now that he had taken the initiative to come and join him, how could the prince refuse?
So the prince was very happy at first, and promised that he would obey the order.
Who knew that in a moment of impulsiveness, he would act as if he had signed a contract to sell himself. Whatever Murong Ce decided was final and no one would be allowed to question or change it.
This is why everyone felt that the prince had suddenly become smarter and seemed to have a new brain.
He dared not disobey Murong Ce!
Since the day Murong Ce started helping the prince, all his ideas and plans have never failed, so slowly, the prince became more and more obedient to him. Even Lin Xiafeng knew that if he wanted the prince to be obedient, he had to go to the great military advisor Murong first!
…
If the prince had not been dealt a terrible hand recently because of cheating in the imperial examination, Murong Ce really would not have cooperated with Lin Xiafeng.
But even though he personally hated Lin Xiafeng, he had to admit that this was indeed a good opportunity to help the prince make a comeback.
Early in the morning on the second day of November, before Dugu Yu returned home from court, Murong Ce arrived at the palace.
Qin Qingyao was still dozing off when she came out to see him. For some reason, Murong Ce found it very funny to see Qin Qingyao yawning in front of him in such a daze.
"Did I disturb the princess's sweet dreams?"
"No, no, I just slept a little late last night."
As for why I slept a little late, there is no need to delve into it...
"How come Military Advisor Murong has time to come to the palace today? Is he here for business or to have some fun with us?"
"Neither. It's a matter of loyalty to the person who entrusted me with the task."
"Entrusted by someone? Who would be so honorable as to ask you for help?"
Murong Ce lowered his head and chuckled softly, with a hint of grievance on his face, "Princess, what you said makes me seem particularly unkind."
"No, no, no, absolutely not. I just feel like you give people a feeling of... being particularly superior, but not in an annoying way. In short, you are as perfect as a god, making people look up to you but unable to blaspheme you!"
Murong Ce's chest was shaking with laughter. "Princess, are you praising me or scolding me?"
"I seek truth from facts!"
Qin Qingyao was indeed being realistic. Murong Ce gave people a feeling of being out of touch with the world, so perfect that he seemed as if he was about to step on a lotus and fly into the sky at any time.
He does not seek fame or wealth. When he is not in sight, there is not even a shadow. But whenever he appears, he will definitely be the focus of the audience.
Qin Qingyao felt that for such a perfect man, the original author should have written a book just for him. It would be a shame if he wasn't the male protagonist!
If Murong Ce's surname was Ling, there would be no mention of the brothers Ling Jingyu and Ling Jingxuan!
"Princess, you really have a magical power that can make people feel relaxed and at ease, and forget all their worries. It must be very happy to be with you."
"ah?"
When Murong Ce looked at Qin Qingyao, his gentle eyes made Bai Zhi's palms sweat. Why did she feel something was wrong?
Regardless of whether Qin Qingyao really didn't hear clearly or didn't understand what he said, Murong Ce didn't intend to continue this topic. Instead, he changed the subject and stated the purpose of his visit today.
"Actually, it was Dugu who asked me to come. He prepared a surprise for you and asked me to take you there."
"Oh~" Qin Qingyao had an expression that I knew. It seemed that no one else could invite this great god except Dugu Yu.
"I knew he was doing something behind my back! Please, Grand Military Advisor, could you give me a little spoiler first so I can be mentally prepared?"
Murong Ce still smiled, but shook his head without any negotiation, "No."
Qin Qingyao stretched out a little finger, "Just a little bit?"
Murong Ce shook his head.
"Okay, since you're doing this for the sake of brotherhood, I won't make things difficult for you. So where are we going?"
"Outside the city."
"When are we leaving? Is this outfit appropriate for me? Isn't it too informal? How about you wait for me so I can go back and change?"
Qin Qingyao had already imagined a romantic drama in her mind, fantasizing about all kinds of surprises Dugu Yu might give her. Her face flushed with excitement, and her eyes sparkled with green light.
Murong Ce, "Are you sure you're just going to change clothes? If you shower, change clothes, and dress up, I'm afraid Dugu won't be able to wait for you and will think you're not going out and will come back on your own."
"After all, you know he's very thin-skinned and might change his mind at any time out of embarrassment."
Qin Qingyao already had a deep understanding of how thin-skinned Dugu Yu was. Something that could shame him to the point of changing his mind would have to be very exciting, so how could she miss it!
Qin Qingyao stood up quickly and pulled Murong Ce out, "Then let's not waste any more time and get out of here. I won't even change my clothes. It's as if I'm looking forward to it so much, lest he gets too arrogant!"
Bai Zhi tried to follow, but Qin Qingyao stopped her, "Don't follow me. I'm afraid His Majesty will be embarrassed. Don't worry, I'll share it with you when I get back!"
After saying that, Qin Qingyao proudly gave Bai Zhi a wink, then pulled Murong Ce out of the house on horseback without stopping, wishing she could grow wings and fly out of the city immediately.
When the two were about to leave the palace gate, Murong Ce suddenly stopped, turned around and said coldly to the air, "Don't join in the fun. Are you afraid that your prince and I can't protect the princess?"
Qin Qingyao was confused. "Who are you talking to?"
Murong Ce narrowed his eyes and smiled, "No, I just want to make sure no one comes to cause trouble."
Qin Qingyao was suddenly speechless. Isn't this person too meticulous?
However, it was probably precisely because of his meticulousness, his ability to consider everything comprehensively and plan ahead, that he was able to build such a great achievement together with Dugu Yu!
"Let's go!"
On the way out of the city, Qin Qingyao was dancing excitedly in the carriage, and she really couldn't keep quiet for a minute.
And the topic she always talks about is Dugu Yu. She treats Murong Ce as a friend, so she exposes Dugu Yu's shortcomings in front of Murong Ce without showing any mercy.
Murong Ce's ears were filled with Qin Qingyao's laughter, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He stared at her narrowed eyes and the happy and excited smiling face, unable to take his eyes away.
The Dugu Yu that Qin Qingyao mentioned was completely different from the Dugu Yu he knew.
And the Murong Ce he appeared in front of Qin Qingyao was completely different from the Murong Ce others saw.
Others say he is a loner, unsociable, difficult to approach, likes quietness, and hates being disturbed. He himself has always believed this.
Only in front of Qin Qingyao did he realize that he was not that kind of person, not someone who did not need other people's attention and care, and did not need to have any relationship with others!
