Just as Murong Qiqi was resting with her eyes closed, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. Opening her eyes, Murong Qiqi took a robe from the clothes rack by the shore and put it on. She had just wrapped herself up when a black-clothed man appeared before her.
This person was wearing a doll mask. He had a pinkish-white baby face and a small red mouth that was smiling sweetly. There was a fiery red rouge on each side of the doll's face, and where the eyes should be, there were two black holes where a pair of shrewd eyes were hidden.
"Who are you? What are you trying to do? "Murong Qiqi looked at him and took out two golden threads.
The black-clothed man was a little surprised that he had barged into the hot spring. When he saw Murong Qiqi's face, he was even more stunned. "Bright Moon …" The black-clothed man murmured softly. His voice was hoarse and trembling as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.
"What did you say?" Murong Qiqi seemed to have heard the words' Ming Yue ', but she could not hear it clearly. When she looked again, the man in black had already regained his senses. He looked at Murong Qiqi deeply and turned to hide in the bushes.
"Miss, what's wrong?" At this moment, Su Yue, who was dressed neatly, walked over. When Murong Qiqi looked again, the man in black had disappeared.
"There's a stranger!" Murong Qiqi pointed in the direction where the man in black had escaped.
Hearing that there was a stranger, Su Yue immediately chased after him. On the other side, Su Mei also heard the noise. After the commotion here, the men also knew about the appearance of the man in black. Feng Cang put on his clothes and immediately came to Murong Qiqi. "Qingqing, are you alright?"
Feng Cang's voice pulled Murong Qiqi back to her senses. She quickly picked up the Water Moon Mirror and placed it on her face. "Your Highness, I'm fine. I'm very safe!"
When everyone was dressed, Su Yue had already returned.
"The man in black was very familiar with the manor. I followed him to the plum garden but could not find him." Su Yue was a little vexed. How could she let the man in black escape from under her nose? It was really her dereliction of duty.
When Feng Cang heard that the other party was very familiar with the Phoenix Feather Manor, his face sank. He immediately looked for the housekeeper of the Phoenix Feather Manor to conduct a thorough search. However, after searching for an entire night, there was no trace of the black robed man. This matter became a mystery.
"Just who is it?" Murong Qiqi bit her lips and tried to recall that person's figure. She then drew out that person's appearance. When he saw the baby face that Murong Qiqi had drawn on it, Feng Cang was shocked. "This is the pink baby mask that my father bought for me when I was young! I remember putting it in the study! "
As soon as Feng Cang said this, the housekeeper of Phoenix Feather Manor immediately went to the manor's study to look for it. However, he discovered that the only thing missing was a doll mask.
Looks like this person is very familiar with Phoenix Feather Manor! Who could it be? Murong Qiqi and Feng Cang couldn't figure it out. The entire Phoenix Feather Manor was searched, but there was no trace of the black-clothed man. Feng Cang had no choice but to increase the patrols.
After that, the black-robed man never appeared again. It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth.
Murong Qiqi kept recalling everything about the black-robed man, and the only thing she could remember was that he said 'bright moon'. What did that mean? Did it mean Princess Ming Yue? However, Princess Ming Yue had already passed away for so many years. Why would this person still call her by such an affectionate name? Could this black-robed man be Princess Ming Yue's follower?
These questions kept circling around in Murong Qiqi's mind. Before she could find the answer, she did not tell Feng Cang about it. If the black-robed man appeared again, she would definitely catch him and ask him about it!
Finally, it was New Year's Eve. Because of the Four Nation Youth Competition, Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi could only spend the New Year at Phoenix Feather Manor. Murong Qiqi was very happy to be able to spend the New Year with Feng Cang. Compared to the bustling banquet and complicated etiquette of the palace, she would rather spend the New Year with the person she loved.
Aside from Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi, there was also Su Mei, Suyue, Wan Yankang, Jin Mo, Ruyi, and Ji Xiang.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Feng Cang announced that everyone in Phoenix Feather Manor, regardless of their status, would not return until they were drunk. This made the people guarding the manor very happy. Wan Yankang hugged a jar of wine and competed with Jin Mo with Ruyi. Su Mei, Suyue, and Ji Xiang, the three young ladies, chatted at the side. Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi sat on the kang bed, smiling at the people around them.
"Your Highness!" The housekeeper of Phoenix Feather Manor carried a wine cup and walked over to Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi with a smile. "This lowly one represents everyone in the manor to propose a toast to Your Highness and Princess Consort. We wish Your Highness and Princess Consort a happy marriage!"
"Good!" The housekeeper's words made Feng Cang smile even wider. He raised his head and poured a cup of wine into his mouth. "Reward everyone with half a year's worth of silver!"
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness! " When they heard that there was a reward, and it was half a year's worth of silver, the people in the manor were overjoyed. They all raised their cups to Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi.
Although they had only interacted with Murong Qiqi for a few days, these people could already feel how amiable Murong Qiqi was.
Having a good-tempered and easy-going Princess Consort was the best thing for these people. Although Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi did not come back often, it seemed that they would be staying in Phoenix Feather Manor for the coming winter. Having a good-tempered and easy-going Master would save the servants a lot of trouble.
"Your Highness, it's time!"
Finally, it was midnight. Feng Cang held Murong Qiqi in his arms and went outside under the crowd. Phoenix Feather Manor was brightly lit. When Feng Cang came out, the servants lit up the fireworks and firecrackers.
"Bang!" The beautiful fireworks bloomed in the quiet night like colorful brushes, painting the deep blue sky with a riot of colors. "Bang, bang, bang!" The flowers bloomed one after another, as if it was a feast of flowers to welcome the arrival of the New Year!
"It's so beautiful! Miss, look at that one! It's so beautiful! " Su Mei liked lively scenes, and she liked the beautiful fireworks even more. Wan Yankang came to Su Mei's side and handed her two fireworks. "Here!"
"Thank you!" Su Mei held a firework in each hand and danced in the dark night.
"Beautiful! Oh! "Wan Yankang roared. He took another two fireworks and, together with Su Mei, used the fireworks as weapons and 'fought' in the courtyard. The two of them 'fought' fiercely, and the fireworks in their hands shone brightly, enveloping the two of them, making them look even more beautiful.
