I was so nervous that every pore on my body stood on end, and he was delighted to see my tightly closed eyes and flushed face.
"So this is what it looks like when a wildcat becomes docile!"
An ambiguous atmosphere filled the air, and looking at his wicked smile, I was momentarily at a loss.
Even after he left, the warmth of his voice lingered on my lips, and I couldn't come to my senses for a long time.
The numerous palace maids and eunuchs in Yu Huan Palace were all arranged by Ye Liming to take care of Consort Mo.
Looking at all the people in the room, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Seeing her frown, Ye Lisheng said, "You may all leave!"
The crowd replied in unison, "Yes! This servant takes his leave."
"Mo Niang, look, Yu Huan Palace is exactly the same as before!"
"Are they really the same?" she countered.
He gave an awkward laugh: "It must be because you haven't been back for too long!"
“We’ve all grown old, Ye’er and the others have grown up, and the palace maids and eunuchs we’ve hired aren’t the same people as before!”
Ye Liming looked at her, puzzled, and gazed into her eyes affectionately, saying, "Now that you're back, please don't leave again, okay?"
"I will do my best!"
Watching her departing figure, Ye Liming was somewhat lost in thought, his brows furrowed.
"She never forgave me after all!"
Today was the day Consort Li was to leave the Buddhist hall and return to the palace, and Ye Xuanling was waiting outside early in the morning.
For some reason, Yanran was restless and her eyelids kept twitching.
Seeing this, Ye Xuanling joked, "What's there to be afraid of? Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually!"
Do you think Consort Li might not like me?
"Who wouldn't like someone as gentle and charming as you?"
As they were talking, a figure in blue slowly walked towards them.
Ye Xuanling hurriedly stepped forward: "Greetings, Mother Consort!"
"Xuan'er, let your mother take a good look at you!"
"Mother, you've worked hard!"
Consort Li looked him up and down, and said with a hint of excitement, "Seeing you makes all my hardships worthwhile!"
At this moment, she glanced at Yanran behind Ye Xuanling, and her eyes changed: "When did you change your maid? She looks quite pretty!"
She hurriedly introduced herself: "This servant greets Your Highness, my name is Yanran!"
Consort Li did not urge her to rise, but instead scolded her, "Of course, a servant should be given a proper name!"
"Mother!" Ye Xuanling wanted to stand up for Yanran, but a single look from her silenced him.
"Your Highness is right to reprimand me. Please bestow a name upon me!"
Consort Li smiled meaningfully and said, "It is not proper for me to interfere in the affairs of the Eighth Prince's residence. I will leave this matter to the Eighth Prince!"
"yes!"
A girl in a smoky pink dress ran towards Mo Sheng, calling out as she ran, "Good morning, Imperial Advisor!"
Mo Sheng was overjoyed, wondering why she had come.
"morning!"
He kindly tidied her disheveled hair and said, "Miss Murong, what brings you to see me today?"
I came to see you!
She took in the barely suppressed smile in Mo Sheng's eyes.
"How can you not even recognize the person you like!"
The sudden question sent chills down Mo Sheng's spine. He took a few steps back and asked, "Are you Murong Kui?"
She sneered, "You recognized me?"
He angrily questioned, "Why did you impersonate her?"
"Are you angry because I impersonated her, or because I disappointed you by not being her?"
Mo Sheng distanced himself from her, a flash of disgust crossing his face.
"It wasn't me impersonating her, it was her impersonating me!"
He didn't understand the meaning of her words.
"When will you leave my residence?!"
Murong Kui asked with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "Don't you want to be with the person you love forever?"
Just as Mo Sheng was looking puzzled, Murong Kui took his hand.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly tried to pull his hand back, but Murong Kui's hand was like chewing gum that he couldn't shake off.
"If you want something, you have to make a sacrifice!"
As she spoke, she took his arm and walked towards the bustling street.
The carriage was heading straight for the palace, and I was so sleepy inside that I just wanted to go to sleep.
Ye Lisheng couldn't accompany me to the palace because of other matters, and I was very anxious about what Consort Mo would have me learn.
Just then, the horse suddenly neighed, and the carriage began to shake violently.
"Xiangye!" I cried out in alarm, but no one answered.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my back, followed by a spinning sensation in my head. My eyelids felt so heavy I couldn't lift them, and I gradually succumbed to darkness.
The streets were bustling with activity. Mo Sheng was reluctant, but she had to play along and make the act convincing.
"Brother Mo, look at this sugar figurine!" She smiled brightly, her face full of innocent joy.
Even he was a little confused about who the person in front of him was.
"Buy it if you like it!"
"Um!"
Consort Mo waited for an hour in Yuhuan Palace but did not see me, and her favor towards me decreased somewhat.
"Your Highness, shall I send someone to the Prince of Anyang's residence to urge them on?" a palace maid suggested.
"No need, let's wait for her a little longer!"
"yes!"
As evening approached, Mo Sheng grew increasingly impatient and shook off her hand.
"Have you had enough of your act?"
Murong Kui caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye, and taking advantage of Mo Sheng's inattention, she threw herself on top of him and planted a kiss on his chest.
Mo Sheng stiffened, trying to push her away, but was startled by a voice.
"Miss!"
Okra!
Ye Lisheng watched this scene with a livid face, followed by a shocked Ling Ran.
A flicker of panic crossed her eyes. "Ye Lisheng...it!"
The coldness in Ye Lisheng's eyes was like an ice blade, as if it would pierce through them at any moment: "What else do you have to say!"
