The Second Consort nodded and said to us, "I'll head to the Buddhist hall first."
I nodded in response, "You’re busy, Second Consort."
After the Second Consort left, Zhao Yanqing smiled gently at Wanyi, "Why don't you come with me? Otherwise, I fear you won't know where the tea room is."
Although Wanyi was clever, she was only ten years old and had no defense against a man like Zhao Yanqing. She glanced at me, saw my nod, and followed Zhao Yanqing out.
As I watched them leave, I couldn't help but furrow my brow. Would Zhao Yanqing really take my Wanyi away? My original plan was for Wanyi to flirt with Zhao Yanqing, but I never intended for her to actually fall for him. After all, Zhao Yanqing was one of Wanyi's official matches.
Once Wanyi and Zhao Yanqing were gone, I hurriedly asked the guard beside me, "Which direction did they go?"
The guard pointed in a direction and said, "They went up the mountain to fetch spring water."
"What?" I immediately panicked. Fetching spring water was such a romantic thing; how could Zhao Yanqing get there first? No way, I had to find Wanyi quickly!
With that thought in mind, I took off running.
Zhi Xia hurriedly followed me, "Miss, wait for me!"
I ignored Zhi Xia and continued to sprint toward the back mountain. Zhi Xia couldn't keep up and fell behind.
As I ran, I looked around desperately, hoping to catch sight of Wanyi. But after running for a long time, I still hadn't seen her. My anxiety grew stronger. That damn Zhao Yanqing wouldn’t have hidden my Wanyi away, would he?
I wandered aimlessly around the back mountain, feeling increasingly agitated.
"Miss." Suddenly, I heard Tang Mufeng's voice beside me.
I jumped in surprise and turned to see Tang Mufeng standing behind me.
I thought, "What...?"
How did he walk so quietly?
"What are you doing here?" I frowned.
Tang Mufeng pressed his lips together and said, "I was worried about you coming here alone, so I switched shifts with someone at the last minute."
I was taken aback. This kid is quite thoughtful.
But... his timing couldn't be worse.
If he had come a little earlier, he would have seen Wanyi leaving with Zhao Yanqing.
Then he would have felt jealous and made an effort to compete.
But now that he's here... Wanyi has already been taken away by Zhao Yanqing; what can he do?
Feeling a bit deflated, I sighed.
"Miss." Tang Mufeng looked at my face, hesitating for a moment before softly asking, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I shook my head and continued walking forward.
Tang Mufeng silently followed me.
After taking a few steps, I suddenly realized something.
Why isn't this kid following the usual script?
As the male lead, shouldn't he feel downcast and heartbroken seeing his goddess leave with another man?
Why does he seem so unfazed?
"Tang Mufeng." I couldn't help but call out to him.
He stopped and looked at me in confusion. "Miss, what's wrong?"
I stared at him, wanting to say something but hesitating.
How can I even ask this question? Should I just directly ask him, "Why aren't you jealous?" What kind of question is that?
Tang Mufeng looked at me, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Miss, is something wrong?"
"Uh, it's nothing," I replied vaguely. "By the way, haven't you always wanted to go to the back mountain to enjoy the scenery? Let's go, I'll accompany you."
The view at the back mountain was quite nice. We wandered around for half a day, but I accidentally stepped on some moss and twisted my ankle.
Tang Mufeng's face filled with guilt. "Miss, it's all my fault for not being careful."
Seeing his distressed expression, I felt a bit helpless. Why do these men always take the blame upon themselves so easily?
