There was a knock on the door of Room 5. Before the person inside could speak, Feng Yunmu pushed the door open and said, "Hello, Princess Mo. I am the regent's man. We met in the teahouse before. Do you mind if I come in and sit down?"
Ye Xingchen glanced at Feng Yunmu. He had indeed seen this man at Cang Boyi's place last time. "Come in. Is the Regent here too?"
"Thank you, Princess Mo. My prince is here. He heard that you are here as well, so he asked me to come and say hello to you." Feng Yunmu immediately brought up his own prince.
"You are too polite, Your Majesty."
Yan Tianming was extremely shocked and looked suspicious: "Ye Xingchen, you are going too far. Even if you want to attract the attention of Prince Mo, you don't need to find someone to help you. You even brought up the Regent. This is too outrageous.
The Regent is a murderer who kills without blinking an eye. You, an unpopular Princess Mo, actually said that you knew the Regent. It's a huge joke. Since you once saved me, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now."
Yan Tianming had never met Feng Yunmu, so he naturally thought he was talking nonsense. But Yan Tianming didn't know that Feng Yunmu was specifically responsible for regulating the Regent's health and never showed up easily.
If it weren’t for Princess Mo’s unique hair, Feng Yunmu would not have appeared at all. If the emperor or other people knew Feng Yunmu’s identity, they would definitely kill him. After all, there are too many people in this world who don’t want the Regent to be alive.
Ye Xingchen rolled his eyes: "Yan Tianming, you have a hole in your brain. I'm looking for someone to act in a play. You must have watched too many plays."
Feng Yunmu shook his head: "Your Majesty is really worrying too much."
This boy is just a fool.
"What do you mean?" Ye Xingchen asked puzzledly.
"It's nothing. My prince is afraid that someone will bully Princess Mo, so he asked me to help." Feng Yunmu kept trying to win the Regent's favor in front of Ye Xingchen.
This way, the prince won’t punish himself when he returns.
Ye Xingchen felt a little more grateful in his heart: "Thank your prince for me."
Yan Tianming looked at them quietly and said, "Go on, you guys continue."
The sound of auction was heard outside again. Ye Xingchen did the same as usual until he heard the bid from Room No. 2, then he added another thousand taels.
After several attempts, Cang Tingchen won the bid at a high price again.
"Princess Mo, you are getting into a fight with Prince Mo." Feng Yunmu could see that Ye Xingchen was raising the price intentionally.
"That's right, I'm here to cause trouble today." Ye Xingchen admitted directly.
Feng Yunmu was so appreciative: "I will offer tea instead of wine to the princess."
“You’re welcome.”
Cang Boyi, who was in the No. 1 room, did not raise the price from beginning to end. After several attempts, he saw through Ye Xingchen's intention. The anger that was about to come disappeared in an instant and he was in a good mood.
"Su Ruoan, send this fruit to Room No. 5." Cang Boyi snorted coldly.
"Yes." Su Ruoan picked up the fruit swiftly and ran straight to room number five opposite.
He knocked on the door politely: "Princess Mo, I'm Su Ruoan, my regent asked me to bring a fruit plate over."
Before Ye Xingchen could say anything, Yan Tianming got angry: "Ye Xingchen, you are still addicted to acting. I want to see who you are this time."
Yan Tianming went to open the door, but when he saw Su Ruoan outside the door, Yan Tianming froze.
He recognized Su Ruoan, who was the Regent's confidant and adviser. Yan Tianming had met the Regent several times before in the palace, and Su Ruoan was always by the Regent's side.
"You, you are really Su Ruoan, how is this possible?" Yan Tianming was stunned.
Su Ruoan smiled calmly: "I am Su Ruoan, absolutely the real me." After saying that, he walked past him and strode in.
"Thank you." Ye Xingchen said politely.
"You are too polite, Princess. If you want to thank someone, please thank my regent. He is in Room No. 1 opposite." Su Ruoan said respectfully.
The Regent first asked Feng Yunmu to come over because he was afraid that he would be bullied. Now he sent someone to deliver a fruit plate. It would be unreasonable if he didn't go over to thank him.
"Okay, I'll go and thank the Regent." Ye Xingchen said, holding the fruit plate and eating as he walked.
Yan Tianming watched her walk arrogantly towards Room No. 1 and even go in. He was completely stunned.
"She, she actually knows the Regent?"
"This kid is no match for the prince." Feng Yunmu curled his lips.
"I think so too." Su Ruoan agreed, and the two of them followed immediately.
In the private room, Ye Xingchen walked in and couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of being Room No. 1. The room is bigger than Room No. 5, and the furnishings are exquisite and luxurious. Even the tea sets and cups are much higher grade. The prince really knows how to enjoy himself."
Cang Boyi glanced at the fruit plate in her hand, and saw that there was one piece missing. He raised his lips slightly and said, "If you like it, come to Room No. 1 in the future."
"Is it okay?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"sure."
"Thank you very much, Your Highness." Ye Xingchen walked over and sat opposite Cang Boyi: "Thank you very much for the fruit plate, Your Highness."
"You're welcome." Cang Boyi said, pouring a cup of tea and placing it in front of Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen picked it up and took two sips, then glanced at Cang Boyi sitting opposite him.
[Oh, the prince is wearing a blue brocade robe today, which is cool and handsome, but also a little aloof. This color suits the prince perfectly. ]
[He is simply the man of my dreams. ]
[Such a handsome man personally pours tea for me, I must drink this tea well. ]
[The prince is powerful and considerate. If the prince were to hang around me every day, I would probably fall in love with him.]
Cang Boyi, who was peeling tangerines, listened to Ye Xingchen's thoughts, the corners of his mouth raised high, the ice between his eyebrows melted instantly, and the cold air around him became a little warmer.
"Try the tangerines. They come from Beili Guoyun. They are sweet and can reduce internal heat." Cang Boyi said as he handed them over.
Ye Xingchen took it and ate a petal: "Mm, delicious, sour and sweet, the taste I like."
"If you like it, I'll have someone bring some to you later."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Xingchen accepted it with peace of mind.
However, the atmosphere in the No. 2 Tianzi room was freezing cold. Cang Tingchen was annoyed and resentful. In previous years, he could get the first prize by spending tens of thousands of taels, but today, Yan Tianming made trouble for him. He had only bid for seven or eight items and the price had already reached 100,000 taels. Every year, the best item would be the finale, which greatly exceeded his budget.
"Your Highness, please calm down. This little bully from the Yan family is too ignorant. He doesn't even give you face. How about Rouer go and talk to him?" Fu Yurou volunteered.
She is now Prince Mo's concubine, and Prince Mo takes her with him wherever he goes. Fu Yurou feels that everyone will at least give her some face.
"Thank you for your hard work, Rouer." Cang Tingchen said.
If this continues, the prize for this year's champion would cost at least hundreds of thousands of taels or even more. Although Cang Tingchen cares about his reputation, that is real money and he feels bad about it.
"It is Rou'er's honor to be able to share the prince's worries." Fu Yurou walked out and saw Yan Tianming standing at the door diagonally opposite.
"Meet Master Yan. Master Yan is a romantic, handsome, and generous man, which makes Rouer admire him. But my Prince Mo bought these to give to His Majesty. Master Yan's behavior has ruined my Prince Mo's filial piety." Fu Yuruo used both hard and soft methods.
She did not threaten him directly, but praised him first, saying that anyone with good vision would retreat when faced with difficulties.
Yan Tianming looked at her coldly: "What does my young master care about Cang Tingchen's filial piety? At the auction, everyone relies on their own abilities. If he has no money, I can lend it to him. It's really laughable to cry poor to show filial piety!"
