Chapter 156 Review
When Mu Lianzhi came back to her senses, a hot fried cake was already stuffed into her hand, and Beitang Yi was helping her organize the paper that wrapped the fried cake:
"If you ordered sesame seeds, the ones with sugar filling are filled with sweet bean paste. Be careful with the heat."
Seeing him changing positions and raising his hands from time to time, trying to help her block the congestion and collisions around her, Mu Lianzhi couldn't help but think of the prince just now, whose actions were exactly the same as his.
The two of them walked out of the night market, and Yingfeng and Yingbei just happened to come over with their horses, and the group of four changed their route and left.
Along the way, Mu Lianzhi nestled in front of Beitang Yi, holding fried cakes in one hand and silk flowers in the other, her mood was mixed.
After entering the Colorful Building, the two did not stop. They sat in the familiar room for a while and then went straight down the secret passage that they had walked through countless times.
Memories flooded into her mind all at once. She watched Beitang Yi light up the oil lamps one by one, and then extinguish the ones behind him. Holding the already cold fried cake in her hands, Mu Lianzhi took another bite.
Once upon a time, the place where my heart beat began was also the place where my heart beat ended. I didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to relive it again.
She was in a state of turmoil, but she didn't know that someone who had relived this journey alone countless times was in a state of turmoil a million times more than her, especially reliving it with her again.
So, before she could swallow a mouthful of fried cake, a dark figure squatted down in front of her:
"Are you tired? Come on."
Seeing that he was going to carry her on his back, Mu Lianzhi was stunned again.
Looking back, Beitang Yi raised his hand and pinched her face:
"Don't be embarrassed if there are no outsiders."
This speed is as fast as a snail.
After being together for a long time, Beitang Yi has come to understand her. She can be impatient when she is diligent, but can also be delicate and charming when she is lazy.
He squatted again, and Mu Lianzhi wiped her hands, went up, and leaned on his shoulder. After a moment, she finally told him about the scene in front of the fried food stall.
Beitang Yi paused and turned to look at her:
"So you wanted to eat fried cakes, and that's why you were so dull and sluggish just now?"
"Well, don't you have any ideas?"
He doesn't even mind widows.
The marriage of his beloved might not be what it seemed. What if they really got divorced someday? At this moment, Mu Lianzhi even wondered whether the Prime Minister's Mansion was trying their best to marry Yu Wei to him in preparation for emulating Ehuang and Nvying in the future.
It's hard to say given his evil temper.
So, she struggled for a long time about whether to tell him about this.
After all, it involves the crown prince, the prime minister's residence and a strange woman. Mu Lianzhi is also afraid that there are other fishy things going on, not just a private affair. He probably can't get rid of it since he is in the court.
She didn't want anything to happen to him.
But some things cannot be kept even if you force them.
Mu Lianzhi could only comfort herself in this way.
Putting her down, holding her little head, Beitang Yi gave her a fierce kiss, with such force that he almost swallowed her on the spot:
"This is my idea."
"Uh?"
He rubbed her face hard again, and with a tug of his hand, Beitang Yi pulled her onto his back again, lifted her up, and continued to stride forward:
"The prince needs to be investigated, but what does she have to do with me?"
"Then I can still sleep well tonight?"
Mu Lianzhi's questioning words revealed a playful joy. She snorted, and Beitang Yi tilted his head and glanced at her again. This time, she responded with a passionate and sweet kiss.
That night, Mu Lianzhi did not stay next door, but her sweetness and tenderness along the way were enough to warm two hearts beating at the same rhythm.
……
The next day, the news that Beitang Yi had a lover spread to every corner of the capital, causing quite a stir.
Mu Lianzhi stayed in the house for two days, but she finally figured out the "Bo Jun Yi Xiao" which was known as Long Ling's "Flower of Love". It was not a consecrated divine object, but it should be a light-absorbing stone similar to the night pearl.
The difference is that the night pearl should be a rare mineral containing special luminous substances, so it does not need special treatment. The light will appear as soon as the environment is dark, which is similar to the phosphorescence in a cemetery. However, this light-absorbing stone is different. It needs to absorb light to glow. Once it absorbs insufficient light, it will naturally become dim.
This is also the cleverness of the creator of Dragon Spirit. He made it into a headdress for women. As long as it is worn daily during the day, maintaining brightness at night is not a problem at all.
It looks very much like a modern rechargeable lamp.
It's just that the designer was either trying to be mysterious or deliberately didn't explain it clearly. It may also be because the Dragon Spirit Sect no longer exists, so this thing has been passed down as a sacred object. It is estimated that most people are reluctant to use it, so naturally it has become increasingly dim over time.
But we have to say that the designer is very talented. The light-absorbing beads are matched with layers of silk flowers, and the outermost layer is made of light-isolating material. The decorative beads at both ends can completely cover the luminous stones when turned, making it look like a rechargeable lamp that automatically turns on and off.
Mu Lianzhi likes it so much.
When she had nothing to do during the day, she would put the silk flower and pearl hairpins on a wooden box shelf and put it in a sunny place to dry. She would fiddle with it from time to time. Every time Chunmiao saw her like this, she couldn't help but smile.
That day, after waking up from her nap, she had just moved the silk flower and pearl hairpin to a better-lit location when Chunmiao hurried in:
"Miss, Miss, the eldest lady is back crying again."
"Oh? When did it happen?"
Spring is coming, is the fun about to begin?
"Just a while ago, I heard that she brought back a lot of luggage. At first I thought it was a gift for the Marquis' Mansion. Many people wanted to help ask for rewards, but in the end they all moved to her room, as if they were going to live there permanently."
While helping Mu Lianzhi put on her clothes, Chunmiao was still full of gossip:
"It's only been a short time since you got married, but you've already returned to your parents' home so many times. Miss, you don't know. The maids in the courtyard now say that she didn't inherit the eldest lady's true teachings, and no matter how good her marriage is, it won't last long."
"Ah, but they also feel sorry for the young lady behind her back, and say that the young lady has a hard time and that she should learn from you the most."
"As a woman myself, I sometimes sympathize with her, but when I think about how they treat young ladies, I feel that they deserve it and it makes me feel relieved. They say that marrying a man provides you with food and clothing, but I really don't know what this marriage brings to us women. Our natal family is gone, and our husband's family is still unknown."
"In fact, it's not as good as not getting married..."
In the past, they were so happy living in the Mu Mansion, and there was no such intrigue.
After sighing, Chunmiao quickly changed the subject, fearing that Mu Lianzhi would be even sadder when thinking about the Mu family:
"Miss, do you want to go out and take a look?"
As the two were talking, Leng Yun came in again:
"Miss, when I was coming back just now, I saw the carriage of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion on the road. Judging from the direction, they should be heading towards the Marquis' Mansion. There were two carriages and they were carrying a lot of gifts. It seemed to me that Madam Bao came in person."
The Chinese New Year has just passed, and considering the relationship between the two families, mobilizing such a large number of troops is probably not a trivial matter.
