Chapter 149: A Chance Encounter on the Top of the Mountain
Chapter 149 A chance encounter on the mountain top
"Third Prince, we have reached the top of the mountain."
A subordinate stood respectfully in front of the sedan and said inside.
The third prince then slowly walked down from the sedan chair, took two steps with his legs up, and came to the hillside. He looked down the hill and smiled coldly.
"In that case, let's wait for them here."
Murong Qing, Pei Mo and others had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. The three of them put their horses in an inn at the foot of the mountain and asked someone to keep them for safekeeping.
"It's been a long time since I've climbed a mountain. This time I just want to exercise and enjoy the scenery on the mountain."
Murong Qing was in a happy mood. He had stayed at the house for a long time and had not experienced the wonderful scenery of nature for a long time. At this time, he saw the lush trees on this hillside and he was very interested.
"Okay, let's have a few competitions to see who can climb the fastest." Yan Jingtian heard this and expressed his approval with both hands.
"This mountain is not low. Why don't we call you a sedan chair, which will save some energy." Pei Mo glanced at Murong Qing's belly intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed to have thought a lot about it.
Murong Qing was carefree: "You underestimate me too much. This mountain is a piece of cake for me. If you don't believe us in the competition, I will definitely go ahead of you."
Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian came towards Murong Qing with smiles on their faces.
"I heard that many ministers in the court are forming cliques for personal gain. I happened to be investigating this matter recently, so I just walked around casually." The third prince raised his lips slightly, and then pretended to be a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect that.
I actually met you on the top of the mountain."
But when I met the third prince on the top of the mountain, he still politely came forward and saluted.
"Hey, why did Miss Wang want to leave after seeing me? Do you mean you don't welcome me?" Seeing this, the third prince quickly took a step to the left and stood in front of Murong Qing, with an unknown smile on his face.
Murong Qing was really disgusted by his performance, so he couldn't help but said: "I wonder why the third prince stopped us?"
The two chatted and laughed, leaving Pei Mo alone in the back, shaking his head and sighing helplessly.
Several people were chatting and laughing when they suddenly heard a familiar and annoying voice nearby.
The third prince's eyes swept over their faces, and then circled around them, as if he was looking at something, with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Murong Qing sighed quietly: "I really fed the dog with my passion, but I will never make the same mistake again in this life."
The scenery on the hillside is different from that in the capital city. Although there are no majestic and tall buildings, the air is fresh, the grass is green, and the vines on the roadside extend to the paths, brushing the clothes of pedestrians.
Looking at the lush trees at the bottom of the mountain gradually getting smaller, the valley is green, and a few faint mountain mists float from time to time on the mountainside, several people feel that their hearts are agitated, as if the dust in their hearts has been washed away.
While admiring the beautiful scenery, Murong Qing remembered what happened in his previous life and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Thinking of this, Murong Qing's mood gradually improved. He turned around and saw Pei Mozheng looking at him with a gentle face. He felt more stable in his heart and couldn't help but smile at him.
After saying that, Murong Qing took Yan Jingtian and walked a few steps quickly and rushed to the front.
Unknowingly, the group of people had reached the halfway point of the mountain. Murong Qing felt a little tired and was about to ask them to rest for a while, but Pei Mo had already spoken.
The implication behind the words was that it was obvious that Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian were forming a clique for personal gain, which made Murong Qing feel even more unhappy, and his face turned dark.
Murong Qing was even more unhappy with him, but due to Pei Mo's status, he had no choice but to endure it patiently.
"I didn't expect to meet the Third Prince here. What a coincidence." Pei Mo said calmly, and there was no trace of disgust or liking on his face.
But even though the third prince's bodyguard sacrificed everything, he still didn't like her in the end.
"Well, you are the only one who knows how to be polite." The third prince was still satisfied with Pei Mo's performance. When he saw Yan Jingtian hiding aside with a sullen face, he deliberately picked on him.
Yan Jingtian was at the front to clear the way. He was in excellent physical condition and could climb halfway up the mountain without taking a breath.
Seeing clearly that the person in front of him was the third prince, Yan Jingtian's face instantly turned ugly, and he muttered: "How come you can meet him anywhere? It's really disappointing."
Murong Qing smiled and ran two steps quickly, stretching out his arms to embrace the world: "We are finally at the top of the mountain!"
"Okay, let's continue heading up the mountain." Murong Qing rested for a while and felt that his physical strength had almost recovered.
"It smells so good." The aroma of wild flowers flowed through the nostrils and spread all over the body. Murong Qing couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, intoxicated by it.
Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian casually talked about these common things along the way, while Murong Qing listened to their conversation while admiring the beautiful scenery on the road.
"I really didn't expect that there is such a beautiful scenery on this hillside. Why have I never discovered it before?"
Murong Qing stretched out his hand and gently touched a branch of purple wildflowers that extended to the road. Looking at the beautiful color of the flowers, he casually admired it, stopped, and couldn't help but lean down and smell it.
In her last life, all her thoughts were on the Third Prince, and everything she did revolved around the Third Prince. She even forgot that there were more wonderful things in this world, waiting for her to discover.
The three people walked for another half an hour and finally arrived at the top of the mountain.
Pei Mo had already noticed that Murong Qing was a little weak, so he called Jingtian and they sat together on the stone for a while.
"There happens to be a big rock over there, let's go and rest for a while."
"Master Yan, General Pei, are you having a good time?"
Although Pei Mo also hated the third prince, and because he was the person Murong Qing was going to marry before, he never had a good impression of him and always regarded the third prince as a love rival.
"Today we just came up the mountain to pray for blessings. We didn't have a purpose as the Third Prince said," Murong Qing said with a cold face, feeling very bored in his heart, "If the Third Prince doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to investigate. We can sit upright."
If you are straight, you have nothing to fear."
Murong Qing knew that meeting the third prince would be nothing good, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared. He curled his lips in disgust, raised his right foot and took a step to the right, preparing to take a detour.
After saying this, Murong Qing stood up angrily.
"General, Sedum, it's getting late. Let's go to the temple to burn incense."
The third prince saw that Murong Qing was really angry and did not dare to show too much, so he quickly put on a smiling face.
"Damn it, why is Miss Murong so angry? This prince was just bored and made a joke with the general and Lord Yan. He just said it casually. Don't take it seriously."
