The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 161 I ask you to treat him sincerely

When she returned to the gate of Zhengyang Palace, Xu Rongrong was still blushing and her heart was beating fast, feeling very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the wind from the corridor blew on her heart, making her feel a little comfortable.

As it was almost midnight, everyone who had just left the table returned to the hall, leaving only the emperor and the empress to rest at the back of the hall.

But at this time, Xu Rongrong...didn't really want to enter the palace.

Mu Rong did not urge her. He looked at the little girl's blushing cheeks and waited for the evening breeze to dispel the heat from her.

The dead branches behind him rustled, and Mu Rong subconsciously took a step forward to block the wind for her, preventing the sudden evening wind from hurting his little girl.

They were alone here. "This is the palace... and that woman came from the Northern Frontier to accompany the princess. How could the prince be so bold?" Xu Rongrong warmed her cheeks with her slightly cool hands, still finding it incredible.

Although Mu Rong had blocked most of the scene below the rockery, and she didn't see much, the prince's absurd and bold remarks were still beyond Xu Rongrong's cognition...

This is so different from the prince in her memory!

At the Qixi Festival banquet in her previous life, she ran out of Zhengyang Palace in pursuit of Mu Rong and met the prince halfway.

Although she saw the surprise in the prince's eyes, he was still polite and did not do anything inappropriate in words or actions.

Now, less than half a year has passed, how could he have changed so much?

"Perhaps he feels he has no rivals in the palace, so he's no longer hiding his true nature." Mu Rong curled his lips into a smile. The Crown Prince... he's truly far more absurd than in his previous life. But this is also good. If he were to take action, he wouldn't feel too guilty.

Mu Rong's words instantly enlightened Xu Rongrong.

Indeed, the Second Prince is now in decline, the Third Prince is doing his duty, the Fourth Prince... has not yet shown his potential, and the other princes are still young.

As for the prince, he was already confident of the throne.

This can be seen from tonight's banquet.

She recalled the Qixi Festival banquet in her previous life. Because of the prince's glance, the princess immediately found an excuse to present her to the emperor.

Besides being shocked, she was also resentful. She hated the Crown Princess for pushing others into the abyss just because of a little suspicion.

Now, after seeing the Crown Prince's actions, she finally understood that no matter how well he hid his absurdity, the Crown Princess was always aware of it. However, she couldn't control the Crown Prince, so she could only start with the woman...

What a shameless couple!

Mu Rong lowered his head. He didn't know what the little girl in front of him was thinking, which made him feel a little angry, but he subconsciously wanted to move to distract her attention.

He straightened Xu Rongrong's hair that was messed up by the wind and said, "How are you now? If you feel better, let's go in."

Xu Rongrong was originally a little angry, but after hearing what he said...

She glared at Mu Rong.

The blush at the corners of her eyes had not yet faded, and a hint of charm was inadvertently revealed in her eyes.

But she herself was unaware of it, turned around and walked to the front of the hall, took off her cloak and handed it to the palace maid serving outside the hall, and hurried into the hall.

Mu Rong smiled and shook his head, then followed closely.

But when passing by the palace maid, she lowered her voice and said, "Go and find out Herme's identity."

"Yes." The maid also lowered her head. "After the master and the county lady left, the concubine also left the table."

"knew."……

The Zhengyang Palace was filled with steam, and the royal family and nobles were toasting each other, with a look of drunkenness on everyone's face.

Only Mu Qianyin was dissatisfied: "I'm so annoyed. They even controlled me during today's family dinner and forbade me from drinking! Not even fruit wine! Rong Jie'er, please judge for yourself. How can you treat someone else's husband like this?"

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "That's because Your Highness loves Sister Chongmu. Drinking is harmful to your health after all."

"Bah! He used to force me to drink every day. I just got drunk a few days ago and kicked him, but he still holds a grudge against me." Mu Qianyin raised her eyebrows, "Sister Rong, come to my place and we'll drive him away together."

Because the second prince was not there, the third prince sat next to the crown prince. Xu Rongrong was feeling disgusted with the crown prince and was not willing to get close to him.

But Mu Qianyin's innocent look made it clear she wouldn't give up until she agreed. Just as Xu Rongrong was feeling helpless, Mu Rong stood up and said, "It's almost midnight. I'm going to toast the elders. The Third Princess, please stay with me for a while and keep Sister Rong company."

Mu Qianyin was filled with confusion upon hearing this: "Didn't you always hate these kinds of social interactions? Even the elders in the royal family rarely took the initiative. Why did you change your tune today?"

But after she finished speaking, she smiled again, "But this is also good, it just makes room for me and Sister Rong."

Xu Rongrong looked up at Mu Rong and met his smiling eyes, which were as deep as a well, and her heart trembled.

Did he do this to avoid Mu Qianyin dragging him to the prince's seat?

"Brother Rong has already gone far away, what are you still looking at? If you are so reluctant to let him go, then I will call him back?" Mu Qianyin interrupted Xu Rongrong's thoughts with a smile.

Only then did Xu Rongrong realize that her eyes had been following him.

She quickly regained her composure: "How could I..."

Mu Qianyin smiled and said, "We've all been through this, and you still want to hide it from me? I heard that you were with him all the time when you were in Jiangnan. Now I see that you treat him differently than before. Is it because we've been together for so long that you've been moved by our Rong'er's sincerity?"

Xu Rongrong blushed. "Sister Mu, please don't make fun of me. The Marquis went to Jiangnan on business, and I have other things to do. It's not what you think... But, he and I were married by His Majesty, so we can't be like strangers."

"Don't try to fool me with His Majesty. How could I not see it?" Mu Qianyin tapped Xu Rongrong's head with her fingertips.

"Back in the Hunting Palace, you both had already been granted marriage by His Majesty, but you remained silent to him. Even though you broke into the Emperor's tent and administered the poison for him... I could see that there was no romantic love between you and him at that time."

"But now, when you look at him, there is tenderness in your eyes and face. If you say you have no feelings for him or that you are only concerned about the marriage granted by His Majesty, I will not believe you."

Xu Rongrong was a little at a loss what she said and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Mu Qianyin solemnly held her hand. "Mu Rong has always been aloof and distant, never getting close to anyone. But there's nothing we can do about it. His parents died young, and he has no one to look after him. How much is the friendship between uncles worth? It's not that I look down on him, but the Mu family treats him best because of his title... As for those who are sincere to him, I'm afraid they can be counted on one hand."

"He's been in the military since he was a child. After the old marquis died in battle, he single-handedly held the title of Marquis of Weiyuan. I originally thought he was so cold and indifferent that only a passionate and outspoken woman could sway him. But I didn't expect him to love and cherish you, a gentle person, so much."

Xu Rongrong's hand was held hot by Mu Qianyin, and she looked into the other's eyes, full of sincerity and caution.

Mu Qianyin was not wrong. In his previous life, Mu Rong was able to do so much for Lin Jiaoyue, wasn't it because of the frankness, boldness, brightness and passion that Lin Jiaoyue had always shown to people?

But... why did he change his personality in this life?

But before she could think deeply, she heard Mu Qianyin say earnestly, "You two were married because he personally requested it. He promised you the position of his legal wife in front of everyone, which shows that he is truly attracted to you. If you... are willing, then as a relative of the Mu family, I ask you to treat him sincerely."

"He has been through so much and needs someone who is sincere and sincere."

Xu Rongrong looked at Mu Qianyin in a daze, then nodded slightly.

Everything that happened here was seen by Mu Rong who was standing in the distance.

He really had no intention of making close friends with these royal family members, and he had only found this excuse to toast her to prevent her from being taken to the prince's table by Mu Qianyin. Now, seeing her blushing face as she spoke seriously to Mu Qianyin, he suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart:

He seemed... to have gone a little far.
