"What's the matter? You stopped talking halfway? Did His Royal Highness the Wise King remind you not to talk nonsense?!" Mo Lin leaned on the railing, holding a plate of peanuts in his hand, and asked lazily.
Qiao Shinian took a deep breath and said, "It's none of your business if I drink sour plum soup on the street! I wonder why you are so bored all day! Do you know that throwing objects from high places can hurt people? You have no sense of public morality at all!"
"I threw it on my watch. It won't hurt you." Mo Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at the people below. For some reason, his mood suddenly became bad. He laughed and said, "A great prince actually let you drink sour plum soup from the street. How cheap!"
"No, I invited him to drink. If he is willing to drink, it means he is close to the people. Unlike you who are high and mighty and don't know the suffering of the people!" Qiao Shinian raised his neck as if he was going to have a quarrel with someone for three hundred rounds.
Molin threw down a plate of peanuts, turned over and jumped down.
“Fuck, slow down, don’t get excited and don’t fall!” Qiao Shinian subconsciously wanted to reach out to catch the person.
But this person landed steadily and walked towards her.
Qiao Shinian immediately retracted his outstretched hand and stood behind Mu Qingchen.
"Hey, didn't you care about me just now? What's the matter? Are you backing away like this because you're afraid that I'll hit you?" Mo Lin was left in tears and amused by Qiao Shinian's actions.
Qiao Shinian clapped his hands, his momentum weakened a bit: "What happened just now was a very normal action. I would be worried if I saw anyone falling from such a high place. And a gentleman should talk instead of fighting."
"Oh, this is the first time I've heard someone say I'm a gentleman." Mo Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud. He stared at Qiao Shinian who was standing behind Mu Qingchen. "How dare you talk like that? Aren't you afraid that I will punish you? How dare a little maid talk to this young master like that!"
"I have a backer, so I'm not afraid." Qiao Shinian patted Mu Qingchen's shoulder with a smug look on his face. "I can see you almost every time I go out, and you always have something to say to me. I think we need to make this clear."
In Qiao Shinian's mind, the young master of the Marquis's family in front of him was harmless. Apart from the fact that he loved to scold people, he was a good person.
"How can I explain it clearly? This young master cannot stand your behavior. Can you explain it?" Mo Lin sneered, looking at the inferior jewelry on Qiao Shinian's body and mocked him: "How come you don't have any good jewelry as a follower of the prince? It seems that you are not doing well in His Royal Highness the Virtuous Prince's place!"
Qiao Shinian stood up and looked at Mo Lin, who was dressed in black. "First of all, I'm not a follower. Secondly, what kind of jewelry do you care about? I wear these because I like them. Besides, I bought them myself. I have a clear conscience and I don't feel ashamed to wear them!"
"Besides, you always say things that sound like you're caring but also sarcastic. You're so contradictory! Do you want to care about me? Or do you want to laugh at me?
Please, your behavior will make people think that there is something wrong with your starting point. To be narcissistic, people who don't know me would think that you like me but can't get me so you want to attract my attention. "After Qiao Shinian finished speaking, he saw Mo Lin's eyes widened in disbelief.
"If my narcissism is true, then I advise you to give up. I will not be tempted by young masters from aristocratic families, nor will I like the people here!
If there is any misunderstanding between us, and I have done something wrong that makes you want to ridicule me every time, I apologize to you here.
After all, we are not familiar with each other. You always make sarcastic remarks and finally leave in silence. It is quite boring. What do you think, Mr. Mo?"
Mo Lin sneered, looking at Qiao Shinian with a complicated look: "I thought you were someone who wouldn't cling to power, but I never thought you'd be even more of a lackey than your master."
Qiao Shinian was quite surprised, but she did not feel ashamed or angry because of Mo Lin's words. She just shrugged and said, "People go to high places, and water flows to low places.
The biggest reason why I cling to His Royal Highness the King is because he is such a powerful person, and the remaining small part is also the most important reason. He is not like you. He is gentle and polite to others. He is willing to lower his status and communicate with a humble person like me on an equal footing. He is not arrogant because of his status as a prince.
These qualities are rare in this world, so I think he is someone who deserves my sincere treatment.
What's more, His Highness is willing to let me get close to him. So, is there any problem with this?" Qiao Shinian said and turned to look at Mu Qingchen.
Mu Qingchen smiled and nodded: "You don't count this as clinging. Clinging always requires something, but you just treat me as a friend without asking for anything in return. I am also happy to be friends with you. It is my fortune to have an interesting friend like you."
Mo Lin took a step back in disgust. He looked at Qiao Shinian and then glanced at Mu Qingchen: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you. If you are eaten up by others without leaving any bones, you deserve it. I am just too bored to even think of giving you a heads up."
"In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Mo for his kindness."
As soon as Qiao Shinian finished speaking, Mo Lin opened his mouth again and taunted, "Tsk, I don't know where you got the nerve to say that I like you! Don't you see how you are worthy of me?
In terms of family background, you are just a slave; in terms of character, you have none at all.
I don't like so many dignified and noble young ladies from aristocratic families, so why would I like you? If you let me hear such slander again next time, I will make you pay!"
"Yes, I am not worthy of you, the noble one. Let's make it clear now. Please don't act like a robot in the future, making a few meaningless remarks and then leaving silently. I have seen you many times, and I always feel that you are deliberately trying to find out our news, so you follow me and Your Highness."
Qiao Shinian lowered his eyebrows in response.
Mu Qingchen said calmly: "Now that everything has been made clear, let's go back home and have dinner."
"Okay, let's go." Qiao Shinian nodded and didn't look at Mo Lin again.
When the two walked away, two women came down from the restaurant. They hugged Mo Lin's arms with a smile on their faces and said in a delicate voice, "Hey, Mr. Mo, why did you take so long? That girl didn't know what was good for her. Why did you waste your breath on her?"
Mo Lin looked at the two beauties beside him, holding them on both sides and walking inside: "That's right, when did I become so kind? I'm really looking forward to her expression when she finds out the true face of the wise king!"
As she walked up with a loud laugh, the image of Qiao Shinian, who rarely put on rouge and powder, appeared in her mind.
When Qiao Shinian turned around, she saw Mo Lin hugging two women into the restaurant. She couldn't help but shake her head: "Sure enough, the rumors are not groundless."
Mu Qingchen smiled faintly, speaking in a gentle tone: "What rumors have you heard about him?"
"I didn't really believe that he was a womanizer before, but now it seems to be somewhat credible." Qiao Shinian said, then realized what he had done just now: "Why didn't you stop me? What if he got angry because of what I said to him just now?"
"Why do you want to stop him? Since I'm here and I want to support you, I will definitely not let him bully you. I said I would teach you, but not on such a small matter. If you can use your power to suppress the other party so that he dare not move, then why bother?" Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian who stretched out his hand to block the sun and said, "Yingzhu."
"Your Majesty."
Yingzhu took a step forward and waited for Mu Qingchen's order.
"Prepare a veil in the afternoon."
"Yes! Your Majesty." Yingzhu took a step back and observed Qiao Shinian's hairstyle and head size.
Qiao Shinian shook his head: "No, your veil is inconvenient. I'm not used to it. It blocks my vision and I might bump into people. Lift the veil in front of you, it won't block the sun."
Mu Qingchen frowned slightly when he heard this. He had no idea what Qiao Shinian said.
It seems that a hat that can be used to block the sun must be made as soon as possible, otherwise what if she doesn't want to go out next time? If she has to ride in a carriage all the way, she will definitely not want to go out in the long run.
