The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

At the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet in the 17th year of Jingyuan's reign, the emperor issued an edict:

Xu Rongrong, the daughter of the court minister of the Ministry of Industry, was given in marriage to Mu Rong, the Marquis of Weiyuan, as his official wife.

This year's feast has come to an end.

Unlike when they arrived, the lower-ranking official family members were the last to leave.

When the Xu family walked out of Zhengyang Palace, there were only a few people around them, and Weiyuan Hou Mu Rong was even more conspicuous.

He stood with his hands folded, standing under the moonlight, his green gown even more elegant.

Xu Chaoqian hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "I have met the Marquis."

Mu Rong replied: "It's late at night and I'm very exposed. Master Xu invites you first. I'll take Miss Xu out of the palace."

Before Xu Chaoqian could speak, Xu Liu stepped forward and said, "Isn't this appropriate? After all,..."

"Suitable! Suitable!" Xu Chaoqian pulled Mrs. Xu Liu aside and said with a smile on his face, "Sister Rong entered the palace for the first time and wanted to take a stroll in the palace under the moonlight. I'd like to trouble you, Hou." It’s my father.”

After saying that, he took Xu Liushi and left in a hurry.

The chamberlain who was left to lead the way was stunned.

Mu Rong glanced at the chamberlain: "I'm here to see Miss Xu off."

The chamberlain quickly backed away.

Xu Rongrong did not move. She lowered her eyes. Her eyelashes, as long as black feathers, trembled slightly, making them look more lively against the snow-like skin. However, her eyebrows were slightly frowned and her thin lips pursed slightly, seeming to be suppressing a surge of anger. :

"My daughter is puzzled by what the Marquis did today."

"What's the puzzle?"

"My father is the Councilor of the Ministry of Industry, and the Marquis is a high-ranking and powerful Marquis. I'm afraid I can't even see him in person on weekdays, so how can we talk about friendship? My daughter lives in the back house, and the Marquis is galloping on the battlefield. Today's banquet is at the Marquis's house. Is this the first time you’ve seen me in your memory? Why are you so happy?”

"Miss Xu, do you know what love at first sight is?"

Mu Rong is very tall, and his shadow casts on Xu Rongrong's body, and the figures on the ground are intertwined.

Coupled with his expression at the moment, the atmosphere was indescribably charming.

If it had been any other girl, she would have been drunk at this moment.

But she, Xu Rongrong, was not an ordinary girl. She took a step back and said, "The Marquis is joking. My little girl has no other merits but self-knowledge."

Her dodge made Mu Rong a little helpless, so he had to make a gesture of invitation: "It's getting late, I'll take Miss Xu out of the palace first."

Xu Rongrong couldn't refuse and had to follow him.

Zhengyang Palace was a stick of incense away from the palace gate. Along the way, Mu Rong kept slowing down, wanting to walk side by side with the girl.

The latter kept looking straight ahead with no worries.

"The disgrace in front of the Prince Changxing's palace was Miss Xu's handiwork, right?" Mu Rong broke the silence.

Xu Rongrong paused: "My little girl doesn't understand what the Marquis means."

Mu Rong glanced at the sachet on her waist: "Wu Ping, the prince of Changxing Hou, is a well-known dandy in the capital. He is good at eating, drinking and having fun. How could he vomit like that after drinking some wine and eating some fruits at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet? If I’m not wrong, Miss Xu’s sachet contains the traditional Chinese medicine Changshan, right?”

The traditional Chinese medicine Changshan has the effect of inducing phlegm and saliva. Xu Rongrong asked Luo Shu to buy it on the pretext of getting medicine from the palace doctor. She hid it with her and brought it to the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet just in case, but she didn't expect to hide it from the imperial doctor. , but he saw through it at a glance.

Xu Rongrong did not deny it: "Master Hou is smart."

Mu Rong continued: "Drinking drugs at the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet is extremely risky. If your Majesty investigates strictly, how can you escape?"

He was thinking about himself when he spoke, and Xu Rongrong was embarrassed not to answer.

Shortly after the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet in the previous life, the emperor reprimanded Marquis Changxing for his lax management of the family due to Wu Ping's peach blossom debt, and eventually deprived him of the title. This shows how much the emperor hated the Changxing Marquis' family who could not afford to support him, so she replied: "At the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet Every dish here is personally arranged by the Queen, and as the Emperor and Empress are one, His Majesty will naturally not dishonor the Queen for a notorious playboy."

Mu Rong then asked: "But even if you escape tonight, if Chang Xinghou uses his status to pressure you to marry you, what will you do?"

"So the Marquis asked His Majesty for the gift just to save me?" Xu Rongrong stopped and raised his head to look directly at Mu Rong.

The latter said nothing, as if he was thinking about how to answer.

But Xu Rongrong didn't give him time: "My little girl, thank you Lord Marquis for your kindness, but how did Lord Marquis know that I can't deal with the aftermath? Lord Marquis thought you could save me by getting married? But do you know that living with someone who doesn't love each other day and night is like a prison! Do you think you can save me by getting married?" It’s saving people, but it’s actually harming them.”

She spoke so straightforwardly that Mu Rong, who is known as the girl in the capital's spring boudoir dream, did not expect it. He hesitated and asked: "You...are really not willing to marry me at all?"

Xu Rongrong sneered: "Master Hou is too confident!"

In the past life, she held him in her heart, but he didn't know how to cherish it; in this life, she hated him so obviously, but he pestered her?

Ha...man!Belated affection is worthless than grass, the ancients never deceived me!

Xu Rongrong raised her head: "I don't know what I did wrong, so that the Marquis mistakenly thought that I liked you?"

Mu Rong said sadly: "I was the one who was abrupt."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but luckily it was resolved by a man's voice from the side: "Brother Rong, walk slower."

Mu Rong stopped and followed the sound. It was the Crown Prince Wu Tian'ao and the Crown Princess coming together.

Xu Rongrong had no choice but to stop, and after arriving with the nobles, he and Mu Rong went to salute and say hello.

The prince waved his hand, glanced at Xu Rongrong and said, "I couldn't see clearly just now, but now I have to say that Brother Rong, you have good taste."

"The prince is full of praise."

The prince bent slightly and said to Xu Rongrong with a smile on his face: "Although my cousin Gu is cold and cold-hearted, he has rejected so many girls in the capital, causing them to lose their dreams. Today, it is you who can propose marriage in public." This girl is so lucky, I must serve him well from now on."

Xu Rongrong was bored in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face.

Seeing the joyful expression on the prince's face, she always felt that something was wrong.

The prince didn't wait for her to respond, then smiled and patted Mu Rong on the shoulder, lowering his voice and said: "My brother-in-law's matter... Thank you Rong brother for reminding me, otherwise I will be implicated by him, and I won't be able to explain it to my father. The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince came here to express their gratitude to Brother Rong."

While they were talking, Crown Princess Yingying came online and thanked her: "My younger brother was favored by his parents and almost made a big mistake that affected the prince. Thank you Rong brother for your help."

Mu Rong turned sideways, not daring to accept the courtesy.

But these words struck Xu Rongrong's heart like a thunderbolt exploding in the dark night!

She remembered that in her previous life, the crown prince's younger brother believed the rumors of the retainers and occupied the salt mountains in Jiangxia. The second prince knew about this and ordered someone to take a copy of the prince's book at the court meeting.

The salt industry is a national destiny, but the prince's brother-in-law dares to usurp it. This is a fatal matter!So the emperor ordered that the prince's brother-in-law be put to death, and the prince was banned from the East Palace due to lax governance.During the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet in the previous life, the prince had just released his ban, so his behavior was very different from this life. Not to mention playing and joking at the banquet, he even dared not show off his temper.

It turned out that the prince's crisis was solved by Mu Rong.

But...how did Mu Rong know?Is he the same as me?

There was a cloud in Xu Rongrong's heart. She clasped her hands involuntarily, pursed her lips tightly and looked at Mu Rong.

Mu Rong responded with a smile: "The prince said something serious, but it was just news that Mu Ai passed by Jiangxia with his troops a few days ago and got the news by chance."

The prince nodded and said: "Thanks to Brother Rong's right-hand man! Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."

"This is the duty of a minister."

The prince's posture was sufficient, but being too humble would affect his status, so he nodded and said: "When you get married, Gu will definitely give you a big gift! How can your in-law's family be ranked in the sixth rank? Gu will definitely support him in the future! "

Xu Rongrong: "..." No need to.

The Crown Princess glanced at Xu Rongrong who was standing aside, took off a plum blossom gilt hairpin from her head, and inserted it into the girl's hair: "A wonderful person like Miss Xu should be equipped with such exquisite jewelry. When Xu When the eldest lady and Brother Rong got married, I personally went to the Xu Mansion to add makeup to the eldest lady."

Xu Rongrong frowned slightly. In the previous life, the princess had a grudge against her because of the prince's drunken banter, and even wanted to dedicate her to the emperor. Now she was in such a posture, which made her very uncomfortable.

Her body was a little stiff and she subconsciously wanted to retreat.

Mu Rong quickly stood in front of her, blocking half of her body: "On behalf of Miss Xu, I would like to thank the Crown Princess for her kindness."

The prince pulled the princess over: "Look at how well Brother Rong protects people, let's not be an eyesore here! Let's go back to the palace quickly."

After saying that, the prince laughed and left side by side with the prince.

The doubts in Xu Rongrong's heart were still lingering, and after they left, he tried to say: "His Royal Highness owes Marquis Weiyuan a huge favor."

Mu Rong smiled and said, "It's not that serious. It's just that Mu Ai and the others are not accustomed to the climate in Jiangnan. Many of the army's lieutenants are suffering from emergencies, so they have to divert to Jiangxia. Speaking of which, they will be severely punished for violating military regulations."

No wonder the prince in his previous life didn't know the news in advance. It turned out that there was an extra variable.

Xu Rongrong was slightly relieved.
