Chapter 200: Love over Brother
After the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, Mu Qingqing's ten new chrysanthemum poems have been circulating in the capital.
Those talented scholars, even teachers and students, would gather in groups of three or five at book clubs, elegant gardens or teahouses to discuss every word and sentence.
They were all impressed by Mu Qingqing's talent, and they all felt sorry for her past reputation! With such talent, they actually said she couldn't even read a few words?
The young man who had the good fortune to witness Mu Qingqing's three arrows shooting at the target from a hundred paces away, went back and spread the news widely about Mu Qingqing's great achievements.
For a while, the whole city of Shengjing was filled with positive topics centered around Mu Qingqing.
Mu Qingqing and the other two were nicknamed the Three Tumors of the Capital, and were also jokingly called the Three Great Heroes of the Capital, the Three Talents of the Capital, and the Three Heroes of the Capital...
In the underground palace of a courtyard in the capital, a man wearing a ghost mask sat on a pear wood carved chair, his eyes cold and bloodthirsty and cruel: "Xue'er, you disappoint your father too much! Your father has spent so much effort on you, and this is all you can do?!"
A frail woman in white kowtowed to the ground with her hands clasped together. Her cold eyes were as black as ink under her white scarf. "Father, Xue'er never thought that Mu Qingqing was so capable! It was Xue'er's fault this time. Father, I will punish you!"
The ghost-faced man's powerful voice came from behind the mask, "Xue'er, has the Gu King you have carefully nurtured for many years been raised?"
The woman in white crawled on the ground and replied softly, "Father, the puppet Gu has been cultivated, and ten have been successfully cultivated so far. The heart-eating Gu is almost ready, and it will probably be successful after the new year. Gu King Xue'er is still feeding it with heart blood, and it will probably take another half a year."
"Okay, okay! Xue'er really is worthy of being her daughter! You can get up." The man with the grimace laughed heartily, and his cold eyes stared at the woman below like a poisonous snake.
"Recently, several contact points have been picked on. Find a chance to find out who did it. As for the haunted house, your father has sent several groups of people to investigate, but no news has been received so far. Humph! If you dare to touch my things, be prepared to be cut into pieces by me!" The ghost-faced man was so angry that he clapped his right hand, and "puff puff puff" the carved chair handles under his hand were shattered by his internal energy.
"Father, Xue'er will definitely find an opportunity to find out the mastermind behind this. However, the Sixth Prince and Mu Qingqing's wedding day will be in a few days, and Xue'er's heart-eating poison can only be developed after the new year. If Xue'er can't successfully sneak into the Sixth Prince's Mansion, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to get close to the Sixth Prince..." The woman in white said softly, her eyes flickering.
"Don't worry, your father has already planned this. After the new year, I will find an opportunity to marry you into the Sixth Prince's Mansion. After that, it all depends on your performance! Don't let your father down again this time!" The ghost-faced man's cold voice rushed towards the eardrums of the woman in white, causing her thin body to tremble.
The woman in white looked respectful and said confidently, "Don't worry, father. As long as Xue'er enters the Sixth Prince's Palace, she will not let you down! Your great cause of restoring the country is just around the corner!"
Brother Li, just wait, Xue’er will be able to marry you soon!
……
Not long after Mu Qingqing returned home, Chunxiang came in with a big stack of banknotes and IOUs, smiling.
"Miss, guess how much money we earned today?" Chunxiang approached Mu Qingqing with a smile on her face and put the Polaroid camera on the round table.
Mu Qingqing glanced at Zuo San and Zuo Si who were guarding outside the wing room, and asked jokingly: "Chunxiang, you little money-grubber, looking at your expression of smiling so hard that you can hardly close your mouth, I know that your lady must have a lot of money. Tell me, how much did we earn today? Let's have fun together."
Chunxiang handed a large stack of banknotes to Mu Qingqing, and then placed the thick IOU underneath in front of her, "Miss, I never thought these gentlemen and ladies would have such a strong desire to win! You didn't see that when there were only a few photos left, those young ladies and ladies bid like crazy, and the highest bidder won. In the end, the bid was actually five hundred taels per photo!"
Chunxiang narrated the story with great emotion, spreading her delicate hands exaggeratedly, with the corners of her mouth curved, and she couldn't stop laughing.
Mu Qingqing collected the banknotes and IOUs on the table and called out to the two people outside the door, "San'er, Si'er, come in for a midnight snack."
Zuo San and Zuo Si, who had been listening at the door the whole time, came in quickly and sat down, waiting for the food to appear...
Ye Nanli was dressed in black and used his lightness skills to the extreme.
When I arrived at Mu Qingqing's room in the middle of the night, I saw the master and his servants drinking red wine, eating steak, and eating fresh and fragrant mushroom soup...
What a happy and carefree life it is, it seems that servants nowadays live a happier and more carefree life than their masters!
Ye Nanli is unhappy!
He walked in with a gloomy look, and looked coldly at the four masters and servants.
Mu Qingqing, who had just finished half a bottle of red wine, was blocked by a dark shadow in front of her eyes. She squinted her eyes in a tipsy state, "Ah, Ye Nanli! It's so late, what are you doing here?"
When Zuo San saw the expression on his master's face, he exchanged a silent look with Zuo Si: Brothers, the situation is not good, retreat!
Chunxiang watched as Zuo San and Zuo Si disappeared from her sight in a flash. She was a little confused and ran out quickly.
The Sixth Prince came to see the young lady so late, there must be something urgent! I can't be the one thousand watt light bulb in the young lady's mouth!
Mu Qingqing's fair face flushed like a delicate cherry, and her bright eyes were tinged with seductive charm. She glanced at Ye Nanli gently and said, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about so late at night?"
I turned my head and looked at the window. Hmm! I learned my lesson this time and finally didn't climb in through the window!
However, even if you go through the main entrance, there is no need for you to break into the boudoir in the middle of the night like a thief, right?! The steely straight woman Mu Qingqing was going crazy in her heart. In less than ten days, I will marry into your Sixth Prince's Mansion! Why are you so impatient?
Looking at the beauty in front of him, Ye Nanli's body stiffened. An indescribable feeling suddenly surged into his chest. His heart beat very violently and his head even felt dizzy for a moment.
Mu Qingqing stood up, walked to Ye Nanli, and tapped Ye Nanli's chest with her index finger, "Speak now! Don't be like a candle!"
Ye Nanli pursed his lips with a dry mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Qingqing, I came here tonight to say goodbye to you. By the way, I want to ask you, are you satisfied with the betrothal gift?"
Speaking of betrothal gifts, Mu Qingqing's slightly dizzy mind suddenly came to her senses: she vaguely remembered her mother mentioning that her betrothal gifts were arranged according to the future princess's status.
"Ali, I heard from my mother that the betrothal gift given by the emperor is based on the standards for a princess. Isn't this against common sense?" Mu Qingqing approached Ye Nanli and looked up at his handsome face.
When Mu Qingqing approached, the orchid-like scent on her body lingered around Ye Nanli's nose. He spoke in a low voice: "Qingqing, you can afford it. In my opinion, this betrothal gift is too cheap for my brother!"
Think about it, the emperor sold himself three times, and this time he sold himself for 10 million taels! Think about it, this betrothal gift is too cheap for him!
Next time we meet, I have to have a good chat with him about this treatment issue. I am married now, and I can no longer be like before, where I either subsidize the national treasury or the military camp with my money...
Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows. This elbow was turning outward a little too quickly!
Is it true that women are more important than men? Or is it that heroes are more tempted by beautiful women?
"Qingqing, what were you eating just now? It smells so good. Are you celebrating our great victory in Qinya Garden today?" Ye Nanli, who had silently recited the Heart Purification Mantra twice, moved to the round table and pointed at the medium-rare steak on the table and asked?
"Oh, this is steak!" Mu Qingqing casually retreated to her seat. Seeing that there was half a glass of red wine left, she gently lifted the goblet and took a sip elegantly.
