Feng Moran walked slowly toward Mu Chenshuang. His long hair was like silk, and his handsome face had the delicate softness of a woman, but also the deep handsomeness of a man. His peach blossom eyes and the beauty mark under his left eye made him even more charming and seductive.
Mu Chenshuang looked at him.
Feng Moran walked to Mu Chenshuang's side, a smile playing on her lips, and politely asked, "May I sit?"
Mu Chenshuang said, "Second Prince, please have a seat."
Feng Mo Ran sat down opposite Mu Chen Shuang and said in a gentle voice, "I ordered a few of the restaurant's newly developed specialty dishes. They are usually hard to book. Princess Wei Yang, you can try them."
Mu Chenshuang ignored his politeness and asked directly, "Second Prince, please speak plainly. What brings you here?"
In contrast to Mu Chenshuang's seriousness, Feng Mozhan always had a gentle smile on his face and said, "Princess Weiyang doesn't need to be so hostile towards me. It just so happens that I met Princess Weiyang here and wanted to chat with you."
"Is that so? I wasn't familiar with you, Second Prince. I'm curious what you want to talk to me about?"
"We were just having a casual chat. Princess Weiyang had just come out of the palace to visit the Empress Dowager."
"The Second Prince's eyesight is indeed sharp; he was able to guess this."
Feng Mo Ran smiled and said, "Anyone who knows even a little about Princess Weiyang can guess who she is visiting in the palace. How is she doing these days?"
"Has the Second Prince not visited the Empress Dowager in all this time?"
"Since the Empress Dowager is recuperating in her palace, it's not appropriate for me to disturb her."
"Is that so? The Empress Dowager is in good health now, so the Second Prince doesn't need to worry."
Mu Chenshuang observed the changes in Feng Mozhan's emotions, but there was nothing unusual about his expression. "In that case, I can rest assured."
"The Second Prince is currently enjoying great favor from His Majesty. Shouldn't he be in the palace sharing His Majesty's burdens? What is he doing outside the palace?"
“Princess Weiyang, do you not know that I am currently studying in the military camp with Lord Mu? That’s why I went to the military camp early this morning. I dare not delay in the slightest and displease the Lord. However, it is not my duty to share His Majesty’s burdens, but rather the Crown Prince’s duty.”
Hearing his words, those who didn't know the situation might really think that what he said was just the surface meaning.
"I've heard that His Majesty has been residing in Yunxi Palace for a long time and has not been handling state affairs. The Empress was even confined to her quarters when she went to pay her respects on behalf of the ministers. I wonder what the Second Prince thinks about this matter?"
Feng Moran remained unfazed and said, "What Your Majesty wishes to do is none of my business."
Mu Chenshuang suddenly chuckled and looked across the river. "Since the Second Prince left Wanyue Lake, it feels much quieter on the other side."
"If Princess Weiyang is interested, she may come and have a seat."
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her gaze and refused, saying, "No need. That kind of place is not suitable for me. If I see something I shouldn't see, it might cause me trouble."
“Princess Weiyang, you’re exaggerating. It’s just an ordinary place for writing lyrics and poems. If it were built into a residence with pavilions and towers, it would definitely be a place for self-cultivation.”
"It seems the Second Prince has completely changed his ways."
"People always change, and the things that follow people should also change. Staying unchanged will only lead to being abandoned and forgotten by the tide of the times."
Mu Chenshuang stared at him with a deep gaze, "The Second Prince seems to have a hidden meaning in his words."
Feng Mo Ran simply smiled and said, "Princess Wei Yang can consider it."
