Ruan Tang wiped the tears on his face, wondering if they were coughed up just now? Still caused by heartache.
Qingfeng threw a handkerchief to her at the right time.
"Tell me, is your Highness unhappy again?"
Ruan Tang shook his head, "It doesn't count."
She was angry with Chu Mu, angry that he had no sense of boundaries for that Cheng Yiliu.
But she was even more angry with herself.
She and Chu Muyou can be considered to have a mutual understanding.
She thought that it was enough for the two of them to understand each other tacitly, and there was no need to tell others.
Ke Cheng Yiliu's words today also told her how important identity and status are in this era.
Now, in the eyes of outsiders, she is actually a dishonest person.
She doesn't even have the confidence to fight with Cheng Yiliu now.
Ruan Tang picked up the wine bottle and took another sip.
Qingfeng reached out and snatched the jug off, "If you drink like this, you won't die."
With that said, Qingfeng took the teacup she had just used, poured the wine into it, and poured a cup for himself.
He picked up the cup, touched her cup, and took a sip.
Ruan Tang also picked up her cup and drank it all in one gulp, "Qingfeng, are you wrong in saying that I am with Chu Mu now?"
"Why do you say that?"
"He is a prince. No matter what, he should have three wives and four concubines. Although he said that he will not like others and will not take concubines, do you think it is credible?"
Now they were just like this, and they had Cheng Yiliu. She didn't dare to think, how many Cheng Yiliu would there be in the future?
Thinking about it now makes her feel dizzy and upset.
Qingfeng shook his head and smiled, "I dare not say anything about other people, but I cannot guarantee whether I will only like one person in my life. After all, life is so long, and who can say for sure what will happen in the future."
Ruan Tang looked at Qingfeng and couldn't help but laugh.
Qingfeng's words were not private.
Even if he is not romantic, he was born in this era, where feudal ideas and a patriarchal world, where men have three wives and four concubines, are already deeply ingrained.
Which man can truly be a couple for the rest of his life?
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Life is short, and it's more important to enjoy yourself in time."
"Now that you and His Highness have a good relationship, just cherish the present days. If he really lets you down one day, the worst case scenario is to kick him. There are so many men in the world. You didn't live a very transparent life before. Really? Why are you looking for trouble now?"
Ruan Tang nodded repeatedly, and Qingfeng's words awakened the dreamer.
How transparent was she before? Why are you stuck in this dead end now and bothering yourself?
If Chu Mu didn't know how to cherish her, why should she stay with him in such a miserable way?
"No matter what, if there is a misunderstanding, just talk it out. Don't keep it in your heart. That's what fools do. My master, Qingfeng, always talks about everything and never hides it."
"If you're not happy, go find him and talk to him."
Qingfeng said, patting her shoulder and taking the wine bottle away.
"Girls, it's better not to drink too much, it will hurt your health."
"Don't take it away, give me some more."
"No."
"Cheapskate."
Ruan Tang scolded Qingfeng, but the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.
She really didn't realize that Qingfeng usually looked carefree, so he was strangely suited to be a close brother.
"Qingfeng, I've always been curious. You come in contact with so many women, but there is really no one you really like?"
Qingfeng put the wine bottle away and heard Ruan Tang's words.
He turned to look at her, and after a moment he raised his eyebrows slightly, "No."
"But your life is so long. If you never really like someone, wouldn't you feel regretful? Or rather, what kind of girl would you like?"
Qingfeng smiled, sat down on a Taishi chair, leaned his back against the back of the chair, bent one foot and stepped on the chair, looking carefree again.
"I'm used to being free. I don't feel any regret if I don't like your romantic love. Besides, I have never advocated hanging from a tree."
Some time ago, he fell into trouble with Tana, and he thought he was really crazy.
But after a few indulgences, the feeling faded away.
Looking back later, those feelings were probably just physiological illusions caused by him not releasing them for a long time.
"You still live a cool life. If I were a man, I would be like you."
Qingfeng smiled noncommittally.
Ruan Tang took the wine bottle from him while he wasn't paying attention.
Qingfeng wanted to stop him, but Ruan Tang stopped him: "Drink a little more, and don't be so stingy. The worst I can do is pay you a few bottles tomorrow."
"You'd better go find your Highness and have a nice chat. What's the drink?"
"I don't want to see him now. Let's talk about those things tomorrow. Today I just want to drink. Don't stop me, or your salary will be deducted."
Qingfeng was helpless and simply ignored her.
Anyway, she couldn't come up with anything at home.
It was just that Ruan Tang had to drag him to drink with him while he was drinking.
In the end, she even took out all the wine he had stored in the room.
The two drank for most of the night and eventually passed out drunk.
——
Prince Ning's Mansion.
As soon as Ruan Tang left, Nanfeng went to report Chu Mu, and also told Chu Mu all the words Cheng Yiliu scolded Ruan Tang.
When Chu Mu heard this, his face didn't look very good.
"Then she wasn't very happy before she left?"
Nanfeng thought for a while, and Ruan Tang's face was indeed a little pale when he left, but it was still normal.
"My subordinate looks fine, but he doesn't smile much."
"What about Cheng Yiliu? What is she doing now?"
"The people who monitored her reported that there was nothing unusual. After leaving here, she has been in the kitchen since she returned, as if... making soup for His Highness."
Chu Mu was startled, and his eyebrows furrowed.
"Miss Cheng said that she will come to see His Highness later."
Nanfeng told Cheng Yiliu truthfully what he said when he left.
Chu Mu did not answer him.
After a long time, Nanfeng couldn't hold it back and asked again: "If she comes, will you let her in?"
"What do you think?" Chu Mu glared at him.
Nanfeng is even more uncertain, so should he give way or not?
Chu Mu was furious when he saw his stunned look.
"If it's okay, just get out."
Nanfeng turned around and left, but walked to the door and asked again, "So, Your Highness, the adult lady is here, will you come in?"
Chu Mu was so angry that he picked up a pillow and threw it towards him.
"No!"
After Nanfeng received the exact order, he opened the door and disappeared.
Chu Mu was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
He tossed and turned, and finally had to get up, go into the bathroom, take a hot bath, and change his clothes.
As soon as he opened the door, Nanfeng immediately stood respectfully at the door.
"Your Highness, do you want to go out?"
"Yeah." Chu Mu responded lightly.
If he lay down again, his Tangtang would really run away.
He walked out of Canglang Garden, and Nanfeng quickly followed.
But as soon as they left Canglang Garden, before they had walked a few steps, Cheng Yiliu walked towards them.
When Cheng Yiliu saw him, his face was filled with joy and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Your Highness, I was just going to find you."
Chu Mu still needed to gain Cheng Yiliu's trust and it was not appropriate to break up with her directly, so he had to suppress his displeasure and asked softly: "What do you want from me?"
"I cooked the chicken soup with my own hands. His Highness is sick and should take good care of himself."
As he said that, he brought the food box in his hand to him.
