I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

"I heard that you recently bought a maid? I'm in need of someone to serve tea and water. If you just give her to me, that's not too much, right?"

In fact, he came here just for Xiao Rou. He originally wanted to get her back from Mu Wei on the way, but he didn't expect to meet Mu Yuqing. He wanted to take this opportunity to meet her in advance, but since the other party had no interest, he didn't want to force her.

So, I took a step back and decided to rescue Xiaorou first.

"It's just a small thing, just a maid. I will give her generously."

When Mu Wei heard this, he raised his lips and waved his hand in agreement without hesitation. In his eyes, compared with his sister's reputation, a maid was really insignificant.

"Okay, you can go now. I'll take the person back later."

"Mr. Mu is such a straightforward person. I will take my leave now."

Having achieved his goal, Fang Yi smiled with satisfaction, his eyes casually swept across the private room, and he left a sentence softly:

"Miss Mu, I look forward to seeing you again!"

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

At this moment, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly sounded in the private room:

"Son!"

"I am not trying to avoid you, but the current situation is complicated and there are many inconveniences. Please forgive me, sir."

As Fang Yi expected, Mu Wei's action of blocking the door must have been instructed by Mu Yuqing.

"No problem. I don't want to force you to do anything. There's a lot of time in the future. If there's a chance, we'll meet again."

Fang Yi smiled carefreely, and his words were full of profound meaning, which made people think about it endlessly.

There was silence in the private room for a long time. Mu Yuqing's voice sounded again, much softer than before:

"May I ask your name, sir? If it's not a bother, could you please tell me?"

Fang Yi was stunned when he heard this. After a brief hesitation, he suddenly smiled and turned to walk towards the stairs.

"Life is like a dream, why bother asking for a name when we meet?"

"There is a beauty in the north, who is independent and secluded from the world. One glance from her can make a city fall in her heart, and another glance from her can make a country fall in her heart. I would rather not know that she can make a city fall in her heart, because such a beauty is hard to find again."

Fang Yi sang softly as he walked down the stairs, and with the lingering sound of the last word, his figure had quietly disappeared at the end of the houseboat.

……

On the second-floor corridor, after Fang Yi's figure gradually walked away, Mu Wei felt the tension in his heart relax and he turned around and walked into the elegant room.

"Sister! I have dealt with that boy properly, you see... Hey, sister?"

Hearing no response, Mu Wei looked up in surprise and was stunned for a moment.

Behind the screen in the elegant room, Mu Yuqing was sitting quietly, as if time had stopped.

The dark green skirt is very elegant, revealing a hint of coolness, just like a lotus blooming in the morning dew, pure and elegant, and cannot be desecrated.

An exquisite hairpin is cleverly inlaid on her hair, and her black hair falls down to her waist like a waterfall. Her otherworldly temperament is breathtaking.

Her facial features are so finely sculpted that they seem like a work of nature, and you will never forget her at first sight.

When she was sitting upright, she was like a living work of art, exuding a unique charm in her every move, with a slightly raised eyebrow and a calm smile, showing the gentleness and tranquility of a scholarly family.

On the table, a piece of rice paper was spread out, and the beautiful ink on it had not yet completely dried.

Looking closely, it turned out to be the poem left by the unknown scholar just now.

"I would rather give up the beauty of a city or a country, because beauty is hard to come by in this world..."

When reading the last sentence, Mu Yuqing's eyes sparkled like stars and her words were filled with infinite regret.

What kind of infatuation is hidden behind these words that are full of affection and open-mindedness?

Mu Yuqing suddenly felt regretful. Why did she turn that talented man away?

Since ancient times, beauties have loved talented men. Even Mu Yuqing can hardly escape this worldly complex.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? It's late, and father is waiting for us to go back to discuss important matters."

Hearing this, Mu Yuqing seemed to have just woken up.

She subconsciously folded the rice paper carefully and hid it in her sleeve.

Her face returned to normal, still beautiful, but with a hint of coldness that made her seem unapproachable.

Seeing this, Mu Wei immediately became much more obedient.

"Sister, don't worry, father won't force you."

"If he dares to harm you, I will not let him off!"

Facing her indignant brother, Mu Yuqing appeared calm on the surface, but she sighed softly in her heart.

How could she not understand Mu Wei's thoughts?

It’s a pity that when you are born into a powerful family, you often don’t have the right to choose.

"We'll discuss this later. You..."

Mu Yuqing opened her red lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

She looked through the curtains at the falling snow, and her heart felt empty, as if something was lost.

I originally wanted to ask Mu Wei to inquire about the young man's background, but on second thought, I decided to just go with the flow.

If we are destined to meet, we will meet again, right?

……

On the other side, Fang Yi leisurely landed, and what came into view was a picture of a mirror-like lake and dancing snowflakes. His face was calm, but his heart was turbulent.

"I never thought that the Marquis actually possessed such an amazing talent for poetry. This is truly a great honor for me and it broadens my horizons."

"If this talent is known all over the world, I'm afraid more than half of the world's writers would be willing to follow you, my Lord."

At one side, Li Sheng's heart was filled with admiration, and praise could not be seen in his words unconsciously.

"It's just a trivial matter, nothing worth mentioning."

Fang Yi smiled indifferently and waved his hand nonchalantly.

Li Sheng was startled when he heard this, mistakenly thinking that Fang Yi was making a sarcastic remark about the Japanese prince Kenjiro Niino, and his admiration for Fang Yi increased even more.

"Haha, Lord Marquis, you are really too modest. This poem is unprecedented and unparalleled in the world."

"If you want to be modest, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find a way to imitate me. You'd better stop being so low-key."

Fang Yi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

Indeed, what he said was true, but since no one believed him, he had no choice but to give up.

Then, Li Sheng's face straightened and his tone became serious:

"Although the Marquis did not reveal his real name at the poetry gathering today, he has already become the talk of the town. How can there be anything secret in this world? Zhao Nansheng and Wu Tong have lost face today, and they will definitely not let it go in the future; especially Kenjiro Niino, who has repeatedly revealed his murderous intentions in public, and he may even seek revenge in private. I hope the Marquis will act prudently and take every step carefully!"

Fang Yi nodded slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

He had already anticipated this hidden danger.

Zhao Nansheng, Wu Tong and their ilk are nothing but playboys and are nothing to be feared; as for Kenjiro Niino, although he is a prince of Japan, why should he be afraid in his own territory?

What really worries Fang Yi are Concubine Chen Shangguan Qingyu and Duke Ningguo Shangguan Ba.

Once this poetic talent is revealed, Shangguan Qingyu, Shangguan Ba, and even Yang Jingyu will stop at nothing to nip it in the bud.

This sinister Sixth Prince has done something behind the scenes more than once!

It is for this reason that Fang Yi deliberately concealed his identity.

But what Li Sheng said was true, there is no eternal secret in the world, sooner or later they will know the truth.

Fang Yi's time is running out.

If he cannot protect himself before his identity is exposed, a miserable end will be waiting for him.
