Ji Yunshu blushed with shame.
Ji Yunshu blushed with shame.
She was about to go to the carriage in front when Mo Ruo stopped her. He suddenly took out a letter and held it between his fingers, throwing it in front of her.
He squinted his eyes and complained, "You're really good. You went to a beautiful place and slipped away, leaving me to help you take care of that foolish brat. You didn't even leave me any money, only a letter. Can a letter be exchanged for wine?"
Really!
Ji Yunshu could only take back the letter. She didn't say anything and went to find Wei Yi.
Mo Ruo looked at her back and smiled. He nudged Jing Rong with his elbow and asked in a teasing tone, "You brat, you're not angry, are you?"
Jing Rong rolled his eyes at him.
He coldly said, "Why would I be angry?"
He looked at Ji Yunshu's direction as he spoke.
Mo Ruo propped himself up and sat on the carriage's front plank. He put his feet on the plank and gulped down a mouthful of wine. Then, he looked up at the sky in a drunken stupor.
He sighed, "What was supposed to be a pair of mandarin ducks has become a flock of migrating birds."
He was speechless.
Jing Rong couldn't be bothered to reply to him. He stood beside the carriage and waited for Ji Yunshu to return.
Ji Yunshu walked to the carriage in front and lifted the curtain to look inside. She saw Wei Yi's body slumped inside the carriage. He was hugging a jug of wine in his hand and snoring loudly.
"Wei Yi?"
She called out softly and used her hand to touch him.
But there was no response.
Looking at Wei Yi's flushed face, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She couldn't help but smile affectionately.
After a while, she returned to Jing Rong and said, "He really is drunk."
Jing Rong looked at her and said, "That's enough. You get in the carriage first. This Prince will go with him and take care of these two drunkards."
One was referring to Wei Yi.
The other was referring to Mo Ruo.
Thereupon —
Jing Rong pulled Mo Ruo down from the carriage and went to Wei Yi's carriage.
At this time, another carriage came out of the capital, and they all gathered together.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the figure of a woman peeked out from inside.
It was Ji Wanxin.
She dismounted from her horse and happily welcomed Ji Yunshu. She grasped her hand and said, "Yunshu, I will travel with you."
"What are you doing?"
"After staying in the capital for a while, I was thinking of returning to Jinjiang. I heard that you would have to pass through Jinjiang on your way to Yufu County, so I hurried to catch up with you. Luckily, I managed to catch up with you."
A gentle smile appeared on her face.
How beautiful!
Ji Yunshu nodded in understanding, but asked, "Are you going back alone?"
She sighed in a deep voice, "Eldest Sister did not become the Crown Princess, but she wanted to stay, so she let me go back alone."
"Oh!"
Ji Wanxin took out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead. "It's so hot."
"Hurry up and get on the carriage. Don't get heatstroke."
"Okay," she answered obediently.
As soon as she agreed, she noticed Jing Rong and Mo Ruo standing next to the carriage in front of them. She smiled faintly and strode towards them.
She saluted, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Jing Rong did not like to talk to her. He only said, "There is no need to stand on ceremony in the wilderness. Second Miss Ji's body is weak, so it's better for you to quickly get on the carriage. We still have to hurry."
"Okay."
She lowered her head and smiled.
Jing Rong carried Mo Ruo into the carriage and ordered an imperial guard to come over and drive the horses.
Ji Wanxin also pulled Ji Yunshu into her carriage. They chatted and laughed as the group set off.
The sky gradually darkened as dusk approached. As they traveled from the official road to the small road, they were surrounded by dense and towering trees. The treetops faintly trembled as they rustled and rustled. The faint warmth of the sun shone on the tips of the trees as they slanted downwards, creating a beautiful picture of the sun.
Inside the carriage.
Mo Ruo was already drunk from the wine and was lazily leaning against the cushion.
Jing Rong was dozing off at the side.
The carriage suddenly jolted. Jing Rong opened his eyes and looked outside. The mountain road was very rugged, and there were pebbles all over the road. The imperial bodyguards driving the horses were also much more careful. They didn't dare to use their whips to avoid startling the horses and overturning the carriage.
Because of the sudden jolt, Wei Yi was awakened from his slumber. His head fiercely hit the wooden board.
He rubbed his head and opened his eyes in a daze. When his vision cleared, he saw Jing Rong. His face was filled with anger. He pursed his lips and unhappily asked, "Why did you hit me?"
'Heaven is my witness! Jing Rong's hands were hidden in my sleeves!'
Thus, he coldly glared at Wei Yi.
"This Prince doesn't do this kind of thing."
"What kind of thing?"
"Taking advantage of someone's precarious position."
"What is taking advantage of someone's precarious position?"
"It's not a petty person."
"What is a petty person?"
"It's …" Jing Rong suddenly realized something. His face was filled with anger and helplessness. He looked away and didn't answer.
Wei Yi's face was filled with curiosity. He rubbed his head and moved closer to Jing Rong. He blinked his eyes and continued to ask, "Tell me, what is a petty person?"
"…"
"Tell me!"
"…"
"Angry dumpling." Wei Yi pursed his lips and crossed his arms in front of his chest. His eyes were green and he almost blew his beard and glared at Jing Rong.
Looking at Wei Yi's small appearance, Jing Rong finally understood why Ji Yunshu always showed a rare smile when they were together.
Indeed, Wei Yi was too cute!
He was so cute that … it made people like him!
Bah!
Jing Rong hurriedly dispelled the thought in his mind. 'I am a straight man. You are my rival in love.'
Jing Rong straightened his mind and kicked Wei Yi. "Sit further away. You reek of alcohol."
When Wei Yi heard that, he pulled at his clothes and sniffed with all his might. He frowned and showed a look of disgust.
Thereupon …
Panting with rage, he said to Jing Rong, "Did you pour alcohol on me?"
"Nonsense."
"It must have been you."
Jing Rong was too lazy to argue. The corner of his mouth twitched. "Yes, it was me. Sit properly. When we reach the inn in the mountains, you can wash up."
Wei Yi snorted and glared fiercely at Jing Rong.
But Jing Rong pretended not to see it.
Suddenly …
Wei Yi noticed Mo Ruo in the carriage. He reached out to touch Mo Ruo's nose and sighed in relief. He muttered, "Fortunately, he's not dead."
Ugh!
Jing Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Wei Yi's words.
He didn't expect Wei Yi to turn around and question Jing Rong. "Did you knock Brother Mo Ruo out?"
"Yes, it was me."
"You're so bad."
"Yes, I'm very bad."
"I'm going to ignore you."
"That's exactly what I wanted." Jing Rong smiled.
If he wasn't worried that these two drunkards would cause trouble in the carriage, he wouldn't have entered the carriage that reeked of alcohol.
Now, I really want you to ignore me. My ears will be quiet and I'll feel more comfortable!
As soon as Jing Rong said that, Wei Yi really turned around and ignored Jing Rong.
