Prosperous Beauty System

Chapter 57 The Merman Full Moon

Three days ago, Su Xi didn't return all night, and only asked his cronies to bring back a few words.

The confidant walked up to the Yongming Hall, not daring to look up at the bright moon kneeling on the mat, bowed his head and said, "His Royal Highness Seventh is busy with work, so let the next official come here to inform the young master, His Royal Highness Seventh will not be coming back tonight."

Mingyue looked worried, "Is your Highness ready to eat?" In front of outsiders, he learned to call His Highness Su Xi Qi.

The confidant hesitated for a while, "When the next official entered the palace, His Highness never had a meal."

Mingyue looked up at the carved window on the side. It was sunny outside and the blue sky was cloudless. It was noon.

"Understood, you step back."

The confidant left, and when he retreated to the gate of the palace, he couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly, and when he saw the young man sitting on the mat with a lonely face, he couldn't help his heart skip a beat.

It is said that the peach blossoms on the human face are affectionate to both people. I don't know how bright and sultry the young master of the bright moon is when he smiles.

I'm afraid it's like looking at the moon in the water, and looking at the bamboo beside the clouds.

Looking back for thousands of days, he couldn't get his smile from Fu Rong.

Although Su Xi had said earlier that she was too busy with business affairs to be with Mingyue all the time, but when she heard that Su Xi was staying outside and not going back to the palace, Mingyue still couldn't help feeling disappointed.

This mood was like the ups and downs of the sea, and every time he wanted to calm down, he became flustered and at a loss.

Mingyue didn't know the reason for this emotion, she sat alone by the window and stared blankly at the sun.

The clouds in the sky are changing endlessly, just like his uncalmable heart, Mingyue sighed softly, and fell into a distress that he didn't understand.

Soon as night fell, palace lanterns were hung outside the Yongming Hall, and the gorgeous candlelight reflected on the carved windows, echoing the plum branches outside the windows, setting off colorful lights, which was very beautiful.

"Young master, should you have something to eat?" the old nanny asked worriedly. She was standing beside Mingyue, with many wrinkles on her old face.

Mingyue was still sitting in front of the window, the sun outside had set and was replaced by a bright crescent moon, and even the night became cooler.

"Mommy, I'm not hungry."

"Young master hasn't eaten all day, how come you're not hungry?" Mammy became even more worried, and Gong'e, who was standing in the corner, raised her head cautiously, using her eyes to persuade the stubborn young master.

Mingyue sighed, "Nurse, where is the meal?"

After dinner, Nanny began to persuade Mingyue to wash up again.There is a bath in the Palace of Eternal Brightness, which is exclusively for Su Xi. Now that Su Xi is away, the bath belongs to Mingyue.

To get to the bath, you have to pass through layers of tulle, and Mingyue stands on the smooth and cold marble, and she refuses to be served by anyone.The maids didn't dare to persuade them any more, they put away the clothes for washing, walked around the screen and walked out.

The sound of closing the door sounded, and Mingyue walked up the stone steps, step by step towards the bathing pool.The tulle moved slightly, revealing the plain white clothes scattered on the marble.

The night passed quickly, and the next day, when Mingyue was sitting on the bench reading a book, a young eunuch hurried in, "My lord, go out and have a look."

Mingyue put down the scroll in her hand and asked in confusion, "What's going on outside?"

The little eunuch, "My lord, your elder brother has arrived, but the attendants of the crown prince blocked your elder brother at the gate of the palace, preventing him from entering the palace."

Mingyue was slightly taken aback, and then remembered Su Xi's order before leaving, he is now Mingyue, the son of a wealthy Jiangling businessman, and an elder brother will come to visit him in the palace in a few days.

Presumably, the person blocked outside the palace gate was his elder brother Ming Qu, Bai Delai.

After hearing this, Mingyue became restless, "Go, go out and have a look."

The mother at the side hurriedly grabbed him, "My son, that is His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness Seventh is not in the palace now, so you have to be careful."

After the words fell, a servant suddenly came outside the door.

"Young Master Mingyue, Your Highness the Crown Prince welcomes you." The stern-looking attendant said so, and he looked directly at Mingyue.

Mingyue was already afraid of Su Ji, when she heard that His Royal Highness wanted to see him, she couldn't help turning pale, "Why does His Royal Highness see me?"

Attendant, "I don't know, please move, my lord."

Mingyue couldn't refuse, and followed her attendants to Changxin Palace anxiously.

In the Changxin Palace, Su Ji is still handling government affairs in the Xuanning Palace. As the crown prince of a country, he has already started to get in touch with state affairs after being crowned.

The tea on the desk had cooled down, Su had raised his head, and said calmly, "Where's the person?"

The father-in-law who was standing aside paused, "Master Chu Ji has already returned home."

Su Ji frowned, "Is the young master of the Ming family here?"

Only then did the father-in-law know who Su Ji was asking, and quickly replied, "He is in the side hall, does His Royal Highness want to summon him?"

"No need." Su put down his pen, stood up and walked out of the hall.

Mingyue sat in the side hall and waited for a long time, and when she was flustered, Su finally arrived late.

The man with extremely clear and handsome face has the usual indifference. He raised his feet and walked towards the bright moon, like a person in a painting walking down from the clouds.

"Waiting for a long time?" Su Ji asked, his expression seemed to be asking casually.

Mingyue was so nervous that she couldn't even speak clearly, "Your Highness, you...I..."

Su already frowned and looked at him, "Speak well."

Mingyue became even more nervous, Changxin Palace was far away from Yongming Palace, since they parted on the boat that day, the two of them had never seen each other again.

"I, I...have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Ji lowered his head to look at him, and suddenly held Ming Yue's hand, "Ming Yue?"

Mingyue paused when she knelt down, then raised her head in a daze.

"When did the Ming family raise a young master like you who knows how to read and respect?" When Su Ji said this, the corners of Su Ji's mouth slightly ticked off.

He helped Mingyue up, "You don't need to be too polite, sit down."

Ever since Su entered the door, Mingyue's heart has never been at peace, it was beating restlessly.He sat under Su Ji's seat, with a worried expression on his face.

"Excuse me, how long have you known Mr. Ming and Gu's seventh younger brother?" Su Ji's eyes fell on Ming Yue, making him restless.

Mingyue opened her mouth, and suddenly remembered what Su Xi had told her, "We met at the Lantern Festival the second year after the Seventh Highness came to Jiangling."

He lowered his head when he said this, his fingers tightly clutching the hem of his clothes.Su Ji looked at him, wondering if he should remind the other party not to be nervous, because when he got nervous, everything would be exposed.

"My question is, how long have you known each other?"

The maid outside the palace came in with tea, first presented it to Su Ji respectfully, then turned around and brought a cup to Mingyue.

Mingyue looked down at the steaming cup of tea, and stammered, "Your Highness, this tea, this tea..."

"Dislike it?" Su already took a sip from the teacup, "Still don't want to drink?"

No matter how you answer, you will offend Su Ji in the end.

Mingyue's fear of Su Ji gradually turned into obsession with tea, his tongue can't touch things that are too hot, what should I do?
