Heartstrings Resonance: The Beloved Princess of the Female Power

Then, she turned to Jing Qi and asked, "Are the master, young masters and young ladies all right?"

Jing Qi replied respectfully, "The Second Young Master is as usual. The Third Young Miss is lively and active, and a bit naughty, so the Master and the Second Young Master sent her to a private school."

Mu Yunxi looked up at Jing Qi, who had an expressionless face, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "As expected of someone who works for the Emperor! This answer is so concise and clear, direct and honest, and seeks truth from facts."

Xiao Yao seemed to be accustomed to Jing Qi's way of doing things. She nodded and said no more.

Mother Wu then walked out, and a few moments later, a servant arrived to invite Xiao Nan and the others to dinner. Mu Yunxi and her daughter had already finished their lunch, and after Xiao Nan and the others had gone to eat, they returned to the Green Bamboo Courtyard. Mu Yunxi went straight to Yongle, and Xiao Yao didn't bother to pay her any attention. Princess Yongle didn't mind her status as the daughter of a minor official, and she wouldn't mind Xi'er having a princess as a friend either. What business did the women of the family have with the men's struggle for power?

Mu Yunxi reached the door of the east wing and called out, "Ayin."

"Hmm," Yongle's voice sounded lazily from the soft couch.

As Mu Yunxi entered, she saw Yongle reclining on a soft couch, her hair adorned only by a red butterfly hairpin. Atop the golden base, a lifelike butterfly inlaid with red gemstones seemed poised to take flight. She wore a vibrant red dress, its texture smooth as silk, clinging gently to her body, framing her graceful form. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with delicate patterns, and the golden thread gleamed in the sunlight from the window, adding a touch of elegance. A matching belt, studded with sparkling gemstones, shimmered with a dazzling brilliance. Her red dress framed her like a blooming rose, a delicate, alluring beauty that was unforgettable. In her hand, she held a round fan with a mahogany handle, embroidered with peonies and two butterflies. Gently waving it, the butterflies seemed poised to fly.

Mu Yunxi looked at Yongle and couldn't help but find it a little funny. She joked, "Oh! You're worthy of being a princess! The food and things you use are different from those of ordinary people like us! The clothes I saw you wearing this morning were not the same. This treatment is several levels higher than when you first came! I'm afraid all the good things of the Qin family are placed here with you, right?"

After hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Yongle stood up, gave her a reproachful look, and said, "Why? Are you envious? How about I ask Liu to make the same arrangement for you?"

Mu Yunxi couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and quickly waved her hands and said, "Haha, no need, no need. I'm not as valuable as you."

"Hmph! You're the only one who talks nonsense." Yongle sneered, then a trace of sadness appeared on his face. He said softly, "We may be parting ways soon. I want to leave a good impression on you."

Hearing this, Mu Yunxi's heart tightened and she quickly asked, "Ah? Are you leaving too?" There was a hint of surprise in her voice and a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Yongle nodded, a hint of helplessness flashing across her eyes, and she slowly said, "Well, my cousin's people just reported that the people sent by my father will arrive tomorrow." After that, she looked at Mu Yunxi deeply, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly, "Do you want to go to Kyoto with me to see how prosperous Kyoto is?"

Mu Yunxi shook her head and answered without hesitation, "I can't go yet. I want to go back and see my father and my brothers and sisters from this era with my own eyes." Suddenly, as if remembering something, she frowned and asked, "Is there any movement from Chen Ruopeng yet?"

"Yes! He sent people to keep an eye on me. Didn't I stay at home? He has no reason to come to the Qin family for no reason. Wouldn't it arouse suspicion if he came here for no reason?" Yongle said with a smile, "Can you go out? Let's go give him a chance, how about it?" Yongle raised his eyebrows.

"Sure! Wait for a moment, I'll go get some money from my mom. I have to buy some things when I go out." After saying that, she went to find Xiao Yao. Mu Yunxi now treated herself like a child, enjoying Xiao Yao's motherly love.

Just as they were about to go out, Qin Lan called them: "Wait for me, sisters. Humph! You two sisters don't take me with you when you go out. Do you dislike me, Lan'er?" After saying that, she pouted and looked at Mu Yunxi and Yongle with an angry look.

Yongle couldn't help but pinch her cute face. Perhaps because she ran over, her face was red. Yongle said with a smile: "It's not that I didn't call you. You practice calligraphy at this time every day! I'm not afraid to disturb you. How can you practice calligraphy well if your mind is not at peace!"

"Hehe! It's okay." After saying this, Qin Lan moved closer to Mu Yunxi and the others and whispered, "My grandmother is not here, and my parents won't restrict me as long as I finish my homework." Then, she smiled brightly and said coquettishly, "Hehe, sisters, will you take care of me?"

Her cute appearance made Mu Yunxi and Yongle both laugh.

During the days at the Qin family, Qin Lan often came to chat with them. As time went by, they became more and more familiar with each other. Mu Yunxi and Yongle also gradually fell in love with this lively and lovely girl.

Qin Lan's personality is very similar to Liu's. She speaks and acts with perfect balance, never overly flattering others while maintaining her own individuality. Furthermore, she always has a smile on her face, making her feel very approachable. More importantly, she lacks complex schemes and calculations, remaining pure and sincere. Therefore, Mu Yunxi and Yongle are very happy to play with her.

"Okay, okay, let's go!" Mu Yunxi said with a smile.

The three of them went out together. The Qin family's house was not far from the street, so they walked directly over with their maids and servants. Walking on the street, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing on their faces, making people feel happy.

"Sisters, where are we going first?" Qin Lan asked excitedly.

"Well... let's go to the market first and see if there are any interesting gadgets." Yongle suggested.

"Great, great!" Qin Lan clapped her hands in approval.

So the three of them came to the market, where people were coming and going and there were all kinds of goods on display.

Qin Lan saw a stall selling candied haws, her eyes lit up, and she pulled Yongle and Mu Yunxi over.

"Boss, give me three strings of candied haws!" Qin Lan said happily.

"Okay! Please wait a moment, three girls!" the stall owner responded enthusiastically.

After receiving the candied haws, Qin Lan couldn't wait to take a bite. The sweet and sour taste made her squint her eyes. "Wow, it's delicious!" she said with a satisfied expression.

Mu Yunxi also took a sip. It was sweet on the surface but a little astringent inside. However, seeing Qin Lan's satisfied look, she didn't make any comments. Maybe it was just her part that was astringent?

Yongle looked at them with a smile, his eyes full of doting.

Then they visited several shops and bought some beautiful accessories and interesting gadgets.

After walking around the streets of Ping County for a while, the three of them stopped because the maids and servants behind them could no longer hold their hands. Tired of walking, they found a teahouse with a nice environment, sat down by the window, ordered a pot of tea, and enjoyed the scenery outside the window.

Just as she sat down, Qin Lan said a little embarrassedly: "I want to go to the toilet."

The old woman next to her went to ask the shop owner.

"Sisters, we are so happy today!" Qin Lan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Mu Yunxi looked out the window at the bustling crowd and replied, "Yes!" A deep sense of peace washed over her. Here, she felt the beauty and joy of life. In her previous life, she had always been busy and hadn't fully experienced the worldly affairs of life.

The maid came back and took Qin Lan to the toilet. She asked the other two maids to take some things back first and asked the maids to set up a table nearby. Then Yongle said softly, "He showed up!" Yongle smiled and gestured to Mu Yunxi to look at the attic in the distance.

Following the direction Yongle was looking, Mu Yunxi casually glanced towards the attic over there. "I can't see clearly! How are you sure?"

"Because he's wearing aquamarine clothes." He took a sip from his teacup. "In my previous life, I preferred aquamarine and loved wearing aquamarine clothes; he did too. I used to think we had the same taste, but now it seems... not so!" Yongle smiled, but his eyes were devoid of laughter.

Although she couldn't see his face clearly from the distance, she knew in her heart that he was Chen Ruopeng. After all, she preferred aqua blue, and Chen Ruopeng had appeared before her in a previous life wearing just such a aqua blue gown.

Recalling the memories of her past life, especially those beautiful times, Yongle couldn't help but feel a dull pain deep in her heart. However, she didn't show this pain on her face. Instead, she tried to keep smiling. Passersby were attracted by her beauty and smile and fell in love with her. Some of them accidentally bumped into pillars while walking, while others bumped into roadside stalls or other pedestrians.

Looking at these funny scenes, Mu Yunxi felt very helpless and couldn't help but said to Yongle: "Can you please restrain your smile?"

Suddenly, a head came in front of the two of them and asked with some curiosity: "What are you two sisters talking about? Is there any secret that I can't hear?" The person who spoke was Qin Lan. She blinked her bright big eyes, and her face was full of curiosity.

Mu Yunxi and Yongle looked at each other, gently tapped Qin Lan's forehead, and replied with a smile: "I want your sister Luo Ran to stop laughing." At the same time, she signaled Qin Lan with her eyes to look at the crowd on the street.

Qin Lan immediately understood what Mu Yunxi meant. She sat down, picked up a piece of pastry, and nibbled at it. However, she secretly thought, "Sister Luo Ran is so beautiful! Fortunately, I have a good relationship with the two sisters, so I can admire their beauty up close, hehe!" As she thought this, she kept looking at Mu Yunxi and the other one. She didn't know what Mu Yunxi and Yongle had said before. She didn't want to ask. Qin Lan hadn't told the Qin Donglai couple about Yongle's true identity. They knew their daughter's character well, and they only warned her not to offend him.

However, no matter what kind of looks and pointing people on the street cast at them, they chatted as if no one was around, their faces filled with relaxed and happy smiles. As the sun gradually set, they prepared to return to the Qin family.
