This system is awful. All it does all day is issue these shameless and unethical hidden missions, and we can't even refuse. I'm so frustrated.
Luo Jiu knew that others were kindly taking her pulse, but she was actually coveting their things. However, she was forced by the pressures of life...
Why……
After a short while, Rong Yu removed his hand from the handkerchief and smiled:
"Young Master Jia, you must be feeling depressed and overthinking lately, which is why you're having trouble sleeping."
Yueying, standing to the side, became worried and anxious: "Does the young master have any ideas? What will happen if the emperor is not in good health?"
"Don't worry, I'll have my page bring a sachet in a moment. Miss, put it under Young Master Jia's pillow, and it will relieve the pain," Rong Yu said.
"Then thank you very much, Young Master Rongyu," Yueying said.
Luo Jiu was racking her brains to steer the conversation towards Rong Yu's red string, but seeing that there was nothing left to talk about, she had no choice but to cut to the chase:
"I just saw that you had a red string on your wrist with a Buddhist rosary, which looked quite beautiful. I wonder where you got it? I'd like to ask for one myself sometime."
Rong Yu raised his hand, pulled off the large sleeve of his robe, revealing a red rope, and asked, "Is this it?"
The red string was very bright, and the prayer beads were threaded through it and hung on it. It looked as if it had been polished, and it shimmered in the sunlight, making it quite beautiful.
Seeing that Luo Jiu liked it, Rong Yu continued, "It might be harder to get now. If you like it, young master, I'll give it to you."
Luo Jiu thought, "Is there really such a good thing?" She wanted to agree immediately, but felt that it wouldn't be right, so she pretended to decline and said, "If it's something that you cherish, young master, then I'd be embarrassed to take it."
“It’s alright, we’re destined to meet, so I’ll give it to you. There’s no need to refuse.” He then untied the red string from his hand and placed it in Luo Jiu’s hand.
[Ding... Congratulations, Master, mission complete! You have received a "Good Person Card." How to use: Tell the recipient, "You're such a good person!" to increase their favorability by 10 points.]
Hmm, this seems somewhat useful! Luo Jiu happily left the painted boat on Yunmeng Lake, holding the red rope.
"Young master, how can you give her the red string? This was specially requested by your wife from a highly respected monk at the temple to ensure your safety. How can you just give it away like that?"
"Besides, even if we were to give it to you, Madam specifically said that it can only be left for your future wife!" the pageboy said anxiously.
Rong Yu groped her wrist, where the red string was no longer attached, and murmured, "Can't she?"
"But he's a man, young master!"
Rong Yu smiled and said, "Who said that?"
Before the pageboy could react to these words, Rong Yu turned around, snapped his fingers, and teased, "Snap out of it now, why don't you push me up?"
"Okay!"
...
Gu Muchen didn't finish reviewing the memorials until 4 PM, and now he was sitting in his chair thinking about things.
Thinking of something, he asked, "Has Shadow returned?"
"Your Highness!" A man dressed in black night clothes jumped down from the roof beam; it was Shadow, the bodyguard who had been following Luo Jiu.
"How is he?"
"His Majesty left the palace earlier to have lunch at Zuixianju, and at three-quarters past noon went to Yunmeng Lake to attend a banquet hosted by Young Master Rongyu, where he listened to a performance of Liyuan Opera. He is now on his way to Zuixianju."
"Oh, you went to Zuixianju again?" Gu Muchen raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You really know how to eat."
"You mean he went to Rong Yu's banquet?"
"Yes, and he even gave His Majesty the Buddhist prayer beads that he had carried with him for many years."
Gu Muchen stood up and said, "He's really willing to spend money. Let's go to Zuixianju."
