Chapter Ten, Send the Pink Fat Away.
The bright moon frowned, glanced sideways, and shook off with extreme disgust. However, she was caught by him with great force. Mingyue became angry for a moment, turned around and sternly criticized him, but did not notice the stumbling stone under her feet, and her center of gravity was unstable, almost falling down. Fortunately, Yan Luo reached out and brought her into his arms.
Oh! Look at her, typical of being swayed by appearances. Forgive her, as the saying goes, "Opportunities like this are rare as a phoenix's feather."
Yama shrugged his shoulders, showing a helpless expression, "When will I return that package?"
The bright moon reluctantly pulled out a smile, "Is the son of Yanluo too lenient?"
Why did he go to see her like this?
Yanluo noticed that her complexion was not right. Just as he was about to ask, Gu Zhen Guan called out from behind, "Boss Yan."
She stared blankly at the painting in her hand, feeling a sourness in her heart. The figure and attire of the woman in the painting coincided with her appearance and dress when she first arrived in the capital and visited the poetry society multiple times. She tried her best to calm the shock in her heart, never even considering that she would leave a trace of beauty in Rongruo's eyes. She slightly bowed and said, "Thank you for the painting, Master Nalan."
The bright moon was startled for a moment and curiously asked, "Collection?"
Have some knowledge about it.
Yan Luo was extremely helpless, but he narrowed his long eyes as if he had a narrow intention, "I want to buy it as a gift for Miss Mingyue. If she sees it, she will definitely like it."
There are many talented works at this conference, some of which are worth collecting and appreciating.
Yan Luo was taken aback, smiled lightly, and did not answer.
Does Master Nalan also know my father?
It is the woman in the pink long-sleeved flag outfit that I saw in the main hall today.
Yanluo promptly grabbed her wrist, "Do you really despise me like this?"
Gu Zhengguan slightly turned his head to look at the bright moon behind Yan Luo, and was startled. Gu Zhengguan cleared his throat and calmly said, "Mr. Yan, shall we go to the main hall to see other calligraphy and paintings?"
Yan Luo squinted his eyes and looked at Rongruo, who was staring blankly at the bright moon beside him. He slightly frowned and then smiled, turning his face to Gu Zhengguan, saying, "But I was captivated by the painting that Master Rongruo just finished."
The bright moon appears as lovely as ever, and my heart cannot help but feel joyful. The handsome gentleman I admire is actually a shy and timid man. Despite his calm demeanor, he says, "Thank you, sir."
Does Miss Mingyue continue to reside in the capital city? Rongruo suddenly turned her head, but in the backlight, she couldn't see the flicker in his eyes.
Yan Luo just smiled and suddenly turned around to look at the bright moon, then turned to Rongruo and said, "That painting is so divine, every stroke and curve seems to have been drawn with all the emotions in the world."
He is really confident that she will like it? She has grown up so much and has not fallen in love with anything yet. Is Yan Luo confident that she will like it? Mingyue turned her head and snorted, "Yan Luo, you are too arrogant."
The bright moon blinked its eyes, and suddenly realized a problem. She had forgotten about the previous rain, which was still waiting for her in the main hall at this moment. However, she had passed through the main hall with Rong Ruo along the flower path, missing it.
Upon hearing this name, Rong paused for a moment and asked, "Miss, are you from Suzhou?"
With a warm smile that seemed to have a temperature, Rongruo revealed a hint of hesitation before saying in a low voice, "May I ask for the young lady's name?"
Why does Boss Yan love that painting so much? Rong Ruo shifted her gaze to Yan Luo, her tone indifferent, her eyes calm.
After a moment of contemplation, Rong Ruoxi smiled and said, "I had just turned thirteen during the winter that year."
It was just a coincidence to encounter the bright moon. I am here to buy some collectibles.
The bright moon bowed, "Thank you, Master Nalan," then turned around and calmly stepped onto the doorstep.
The moonlight reveals his confident appearance, which makes me feel a little uneasy. "Even with money, one cannot necessarily buy other people's works. Don't treat money as omnipotent."
Yan Luo shakes his head, "Miss Mingyue's words are different. This conference is actually just a charity event. The funds raised will be used for disaster relief in a region in the south affected by a landslide."
With the painting in her hand, she smiled knowingly. See you tomorrow, her lord!
As night was about to fall, the gathering still buzzed with voices. Mingyue felt bored and decided to go for a walk, hoping to have a chance encounter with Rongruo. She sent Qianyu to wait in the main hall, while she went to the study. Although the conference was in full swing, most people were still gathered in the main hall, making the surroundings much quieter, with only a few people coming and going. She strolled by the pond alone, feeling the cold evening breeze. Mingyue clenched her fists and let out a loud sneeze.

The bright moon hung low in his arms. Her face turned red as she pushed away, only to find Gu Zhen Guan and Rong Ruo looking in her direction. The sight made her heart skip a beat. How unfortunate that Rong Ruo had to witness such an embarrassing moment.
The moonlight lady. Rongruo spoke first.
No. The absent-minded father has almost finished sorting everything out and should be going back soon.
They arrived at the governor's mansion without realizing it. When they saw the main gate of the governor's mansion, Rongruo bowed and said, "Miss Mingyue, we have arrived."
His starry eyes twinkled, his gaze was deep, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I would like to present a gift to the young lady."
Yan Luo Sha was surprised, and walked towards her with a smile, "Miss Mingyue, why are you alone?"
By listening to her tone, it is evident that he has associated her with "Lu Shiwei".
Seeing the bright moon with lowered brows, the mind is absent. Ruo Ruo said, "The Governor's Office is not far from here. Shall we walk there?"
Two people walked onto a sparsely populated street.
The bright moon regained its spirit, "Hmm, okay."
Upon realizing the truth, Mingyue was enlightened. "So, she is the cousin of Nalan Gongzi. Her age seems to be similar to mine."
The bright moon gazed at him foolishly, which was somewhat unbelievable. She only saw Rongruo handing her the painting. She hesitated to take it, looked at Rongruo with some doubt, and saw the clean smile on Rongruo's face.
His tone lacked the solemnity of etiquette and instead contained a hint of teasing, making it difficult to discern the authenticity. However, his words truly stunned Gu Zhan Guan. He gazed at the bright moon for a while and then said, "Mr. Yan can see that, it seems you have also put effort into appreciating the true meaning behind the painting."
Oh? Thirteen has passed? The bright moon sneered in her heart, what should she do? Once a Manchu girl passes the age of thirteen, she must enter the palace for selection. This means that Miss Bingyue will inevitably participate in the selection next spring. She couldn't help but look at Rongruo with a sense of inexplicable bitterness in her heart. What deep affection does this man have for Bingyue? Will he really suffer for her in the future?
Rong Ruo bowed to Yan Luo and Gu Zhen, saying, "I will go first."
Is it possible? The moon really doesn't know. The moon remained silent for a moment, casually saying, "So, what have you gained?"
Two people walked slowly on the street, seemingly slowing down their usual pace without prior agreement. The bright moon glanced at the graceful silhouette of Rongruo under the moonlight, and couldn't help but notice the curve of his chin. His lips were plump, with sparkling fluorescence and an enticing luster. The bright moon's heart skipped a beat, where did she look?
Yan Luo touched his chin, looking pensive, "Even if it's a masterpiece, the author won't sell it no matter how high the price."
Um?
"Miss." Rong Ruo was very close to her at this moment, and she seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of falling plum blossoms on him. There was a blush on her face, and for the first time, she looked directly at the person she had been thinking about day and night.
Between the two of them, it was as if they were in a deserted place. Gu Zhenguan, who was left aside, could only look on helplessly, smile it off, and cast a glance at Yan Luo beside him. Perhaps due to the nightfall, his face was devoid of color.
The girl named Mingyue. Behind her, Rongruo couldn't help but call out.
As Rong was momentarily stunned, "Let me see you off," he said. As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized it wasn't appropriate. His face immediately turned bright red, like a child who had done something wrong, waiting to be punished.
"Hey, are you here to collect a debt?" joked Mingyue.
With a slight smile, Rongruo said, "So you are the daughter of the newly appointed Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi."
This is her first time walking alone with Rongruo. She always thought she would be as clumsy as an ordinary girl, but now she realizes that she feels warm and comfortable all over, as if she were bathing in the spring breeze.
She slowly opened it, with large peony moon white smoke gauze and blue rosy clouds. Her long skirt swayed on the ground, draped in golden silk and thin smoke blue gauze, with hairpins adorned with pearls and jade inserted diagonally into her temples. Although it was a simple back view, every detail, every subtle touch, seemed to be infused with vividness, vividly present before the eyes. Just as Yan Luo said, it was depicted with all the emotions.
If there is a hint of disappointment, "It would be great if Miss Mingyue could stay in the capital city, then we could discuss some poetry. And my cousin would also have a companion, she often hangs out with us men, which is not appropriate."
It is inappropriate for Mingyue to chat casually in front of "outsiders". She glanced at the sky and then turned to Rongruo, "It's not early today, Mingyue should take her leave."
The eyes of Yan Luo are pitch black, as if emitting an inescapable soul-capturing aura. "Once I obtain that painting, you will know!"
Yan Luo was taken aback, turned around, and was startled again when he saw the incoming person. He glanced at the moon and lowered his head, then smiled in a way that was not eerie. He walked generously towards them and said, "Master Gu."
As she saw him in his "fox-like" appearance under the bright moon, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat, feeling a momentary palpitation. It was too difficult to know what this man was thinking deep down. She felt an invisible pressure and didn't want to stay any longer. She hastily bowed to him and turned around to leave.
The bright moon turned around and looked at him. He was dressed in white, pure and flawless, and said hesitantly, "See you tomorrow." This was the first time the bright moon had seen his smile, which was as clean as the sudden rising sun in the darkness.
Knowing that there will be no way forward, I force myself to speak of happiness to come. After parting like this, the pear blossoms fall and the moon sets in the west once again.
Gazing at the turned back, it is the warmest sentiment in winter, brimming with the most beautiful aspirations of the bright moon.
"Tsk tsk, does Miss Mingyue have the habit of blowing cold wind?" A voice behind her without any sarcasm. Mingyue knew who it was from the voice. She turned around with a smile, and performed a ladylike courtesy to Yanluo, "Master Yanluo."
If the bright moon had only heard the words before, perhaps she would be happy. Unfortunately, the words from Rongruo behind truly poured cold water on the bright moon. She lightly laughed at Rongruo, "Nalan's cousin?"
The bright moon also smiled and bid farewell, "The bright moon has taken leave." As she raised her eyes, she saw that Yama's gaze was not as playful as usual, but rather fixed on her with meticulous attention. She averted her gaze and followed Rongruo out.
She couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, she really didn't expect Rongruo to be so adorable. But as she casually glanced over, she saw Yan Luo smiling and staring at her, as if he had seen through her deliberate disguise. This man! Mingyue's heart grew cold, and she returned to her usual self, nodding slightly to Rongruo, "Mingyue has always resided in Guangdong, temporarily staying in the capital city due to her father's job."
After listening to Mingyue, she was truly shocked. So it turned out that Yan Luo was interested in the work of Rongruo? Although Yan Luo was facing away from her at the moment, she clearly felt the force of his words. She didn't understand for a moment, what was Yan Luo thinking? Just as she raised her head, she saw Rongruo staring at her with a complex gaze. It seemed like there was something he wanted to say or question in his eyes. Mingyue was shocked by Rongruo's unspoken gaze. Just as she raised her head, she saw Rongruo staring at her with a complex gaze.

Is there a carriage for hire?
Oh? So fond of it?
Upon seeing his shy and timid expression, I couldn't help but laugh when he hesitantly uttered, "Lu Mingyue."
At this moment, Rongruo took a step towards the bright moon. The moon looked at his approaching steps, feeling somewhat dazed.
