Before I knew it, I had downed half a pot of wine. My head was spinning, and my body felt lightheaded. I watched as Ye Lisheng's cold, handsome face swayed before my eyes.
"My head is so dizzy!"
"Where do you come from, and what is your purpose?" As the saying goes, people speak the truth when they are drunk, and anyone would lower their guard in this situation, so Ye Lisheng seized the opportunity to ask.
"I am a fairy, sent by the gods to save you!"
Seeing that my eyes were glazed over and my speech was slurred, I figured I wouldn't get any information out of them.
He turned and walked away, but suddenly his sleeve tightened, preventing him from moving forward. The next day, I was drunk and dragging him along.
"Don't go, I haven't had enough to drink yet!"
"Drunkard!" he cursed under his breath.
Her cheeks flushed from the smell of alcohol, her mind drifting: "You big bad guy, Ye Lisheng, you always have such a long face and you bully me!"
"It seems you need a good beating. I'll have Granny Du teach you some manners another day!"
"I'll cling to you every day!" she said, pulling him into a tight hug, clearly feeling Ye Lisheng stiffen.
"Get down here!"
"I won't give in, I'll teach you a lesson for bullying me every day!"
"Ling Ran!"
Hearing his roar, Ling Ran on the roof trembled all over: "Eighth Prince, the Prince is calling me!"
Ye Xuanling said with a grin, "Let's wait and see!"
"What a waste! A man's face is smoother than mine!" she said, giving it a couple of pats.
Having lived this long and never been taken advantage of before, Ye Lisheng was momentarily at a loss for words.
As if by magic, I found myself inexplicably drawn to his thin lips and kissed them—cold, soft.
"They kissed! They kissed!"
Ye Xuanling on the rooftop was even more excited than the person involved, dancing and gesturing wildly.
Ye Lisheng suddenly turned pale and, oblivious to my charm, shoved me to the ground.
This provoked my fierce anger: "Why did you push me!"
"How dare you! Who gave you the audacity?"
"Why are you being so fierce!"
A surge of anger coursed through him. Ye Lisheng waved his hand, and a series of cracking sounds and screams rang out.
A large hole appeared in the roof, and Ye Xuanling and Ling Ran fell down together.
"Sixth...Sixth Brother!"
"I've had enough of the show!"
"Your Highness, I am guilty!" Ling Ran knelt down first to admit his mistake.
"Hmph! It seems I can't control you!"
"Your Highness, spare my life!"
"Take this madwoman back first, then come back to me to receive your punishment!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The shadows of the trees swayed gently, the moonlight shone brightly. After all this commotion, Ye Lisheng hadn't slept a wink. Thinking back, ever since I came to the Prince of Anyang's residence, I've lost control more often.
Sunlight streamed into the room through the latticed windows, making it feel warm and cozy.
With a soft moan, I covered my head and climbed out of bed.
"Why does my head hurt so much!"
"Miss, you're awake?" Xiangye brought in a basin of water to help me wash up.
"Why does my head hurt so much!"
"Miss also said that the prince punished you by not allowing you to eat, but she secretly slipped into the kitchen, drank a pot of wine, and got drunk in the garden. It was the guards who brought you back!"
"Really?" I tried hard to recall, but I couldn't remember.
Lingxin smiled and showed me the clothes behind the screen: "Today, Prince Yu is coming to see you, Miss, so I specially found out your favorite dress!"
Looking at the bright red dress with exquisite embroidery, she thought to herself, "Murong Kui's taste isn't very good!"
"Prince Yu? Why has he come to see me?"
Lingxin leaned closer to me: "Miss, you've lost your memory, so of course you can't remember that Prince Yu is your favorite person!"
The news struck me like a bolt from the blue: "Am I going to have to marry someone else in her place?!"
"Prince Yu is already waiting in the front hall. Let me help Miss with her hair and makeup!"
"Miss, I'm so beautiful, why would I need to dress up? Let's go meet him!"
Ignoring their calls, he continued walking forward.
"I hope that Prince Yu will change his mind when he sees me like this. I don't want to get married so early!" I thought to myself.
Inside the main hall, Ye Lisheng was exchanging pleasantries with him: "I thought Prince Yu had come to reminisce with me, but I never expected him to come to see Murong!"
"Your Highness Anyang is joking. Of course, seeing my own brother is the most important thing. I'll also return the handkerchief that Miss Murong dropped!"
A gentle breeze lifted the green veil, and Prince Yu spotted me immediately, his eyes gleaming with a strange light, much like the gaze one gives to a beloved object.
"Greetings, Prince Anyang, Your Highness Prince Yu!"
Prince Yu looked me up and down, and seeing me dressed as a maid, his eyes were filled with pity.
He questioned Ye Lisheng, "Why did she do this!"
Then he turned to me and asked, "Do you have something you're having trouble telling me about?"
I glanced at Ye Lisheng and saw him staring at me with a threatening look: "No, Your Highness treats me very well!"
I sized up Prince Yu; he was handsome and refined. But I was more drawn to Ye Lisheng. From the way he looked at Murong, I could tell he was a trustworthy man.
"Does Prince Yu suspect that I have mistreated Murong?"
“The Prince of Anyang is an upright and honest man; he would never do such a thing!”
With that, Ye Lisheng gave the order to leave: "Return the handkerchief, Prince Yu may leave!"
Looking at his long face, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself: "Are you jealous because you saw the person you like being affectionate with someone else?"
"Murong, I wish to speak with you privately for a few moments!"
Seeing him like that, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him, but then I thought better of it and hardened my heart to refuse.
I clutched my forehead, looking pained, and exclaimed, "Ouch! My head hurts so much!"
Upon hearing this, he asked with urgent concern, "What's wrong? I'll summon the imperial physician to examine you!"
