Chapter 38 Liu Mingyue's Love is Just Another Heartbreak

"Guard Qin, this is too wasteful. We can just have some brown rice porridge," Li Mingyue said, swallowing hard.

“Miss Li, don’t feel embarrassed. We travel in simple conditions and only brought rice porridge. Please don’t refuse.” Qin Da was telling the truth. They came to provide disaster relief and only brought some rice when they left. As for what Li Mingyue and the others wanted to eat, they didn’t have any. The whole team ate the same food.

Seeing that Guard Qin was really not being polite, Li Mingyue suppressed her joy and accepted the rice porridge.

The rice was cooked until it burst open, with a layer of rice oil floating on top. Li Mingyue felt her stomach rumbling, urging her to drink the bowl of porridge.

Sure enough, after she drank it, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Looking at their mother and two younger sisters, they saw the same expression of satisfaction on everyone's faces.

"Miss Li, there's more over there after you finish eating. Please help yourself and don't be shy." Qin Da now considered Li Mingyue to be his young master's savior, so what was a few bowls of porridge to him?

Seeing this, Li Mingyue no longer stood on ceremony and nodded repeatedly to indicate that she understood.

Sure enough, after finishing the bowl of porridge in her hand, seeing the longing looks in her mother's and sister's eyes, Li Mingyue pretended to be calm and went to get a few more bowls of porridge. No one looked at her strangely, and the nanny serving the food even told them to come back for more if they weren't full.

After Li Mingyue made good progress, Liu Mingyue released a major announcement.

"What? You're in a relationship?" Princess Mingyue was the most shocked.

We're all royalty, how come you found a partner first?

Grandma Liu declined to participate in the topic, so everyone else started asking Liu Mingyue about her love story with great interest. Even Long Mingyue gave up her cultivation and listened with great interest.

There's no way around it; aside from a jerk ex-fiancé, she's never had a serious relationship. Now that there's a ready-made case to refer to, she has to listen to it, since she'll be looking for a partner someday.

"Well, it's quite simple. After my glass shop opened, as you all know, business was booming every day, and I made a lot of money. Then, that Third Prince, for some reason, kept coming to the shop to inquire about me. Every time I went to the shop, I would bump into him. I couldn't stand listening to him talk, so I simply stopped going." Liu Mingyue began to tell everyone about her encounter with Young Master Song.

"Once, I went to the shop to check on the business, but the Third Prince somehow got wind of it and came to ambush me. In order to avoid him, I hurriedly walked into an alley and encountered a robber. I was about to call my guards out."

"And then a prince riding a white horse appeared before you?" Lin Liuyi casually replied.

"What? He wasn't riding a white horse." Liu Mingyue was amused by Lin Liuyi's description.

"Let me continue. Although he wasn't riding a white horse, he suddenly stood in front of me, carrying a book box, and told me not to be afraid. He even shouted at the robbers to put down their knives." Liu Mingyue felt a sweet warmth in her heart when she recalled Song Qingyi standing in front of her to protect her that day.

"A poor scholar?" Lin Liuyi discovered the key point.

"Yes, his name is Song Qing. He is a candidate for the imperial examination this year and has come to the capital to take the exam."

A poor scholar bravely rescues a noblewoman? This plot instantly reminded Lin Liu of the novels he had read.

"Did he fight those bandits in the end?" Princess Mingyue continued to ask.

"He was no match for those people. It was my guards who showed up and sent them to the Prefect of the Capital."

"He won't be able to do it either; you'll need your guards to rescue you," Princess Mingyue bluntly stated the truth.

Lin Liuyi also wanted to say, this isn't a case of a hero saving a damsel in distress, so why did you offer yourself to him?

Seeing Liu Mingyue looking like a lovestruck woman, he felt too embarrassed to say anything harsh.

Princess Mingyue was not entirely satisfied. She expected a romantic partner like Marshal Ye, who, even if he couldn't descend from the sky on a white horse, would at least arrive in a flying chariot.

As for Liu Mingyue's boyfriend, well, never mind, she didn't like him either.

Long Mingyue felt utterly bored listening to this. Is this what mortals are like? He hadn't done anything wrong. Like that friend said, he hadn't even saved anyone, so how could he have fallen in love with him?

She felt that her future Daoist partner should at least have a cultivation level no lower than hers, so that the two of them could go to the ends of the continent to see the aurora, fly into the clouds to see the sea of ​​clouds surging, or explore unknown secret realms in famous mountains and rivers.

This is the partner who is worthy of Long Mingyue.

Wu Mingyue hasn't even finished fighting the zombies yet, let alone thought about finding a partner. How can she trust that the other person is sincere when she's talking about dating now?

Li Mingyue was busy fleeing the famine, and among those present, perhaps only Yang Mingyue, who had just gotten married, could understand what Liu Mingyue was thinking.

In Yang Mingyue's view, Liu Mingyue, like herself, simply longed for someone who could be wholeheartedly devoted to her.

Liu Mingyue believed that Song Qing was the one, that he would step forward to protect her in times of danger, which gave Liu Mingyue a strong sense of security, and that's why she was moved by him.

Alright, Lin Liuyi couldn't say anything, but told Liu Mingyue to protect herself, and also to let her father, the Marquis, and her two older brothers take a look at their matter.

When Liu Mingyue heard Lin Liuyi say that, she also felt that it was reasonable.

She knew that her sisters didn't understand why she would fall for a poor scholar, but as Yang Mingyue said, when there was someone standing in front of you, you were indeed moved.

However, she wasn't stupid; she had heard of poor scholars currying favor with the powerful.

Her relationship with Song Qing was merely a matter of mutual affection and propriety; she did not agree to any of his conditions.

Hearing Liu Mingyue say this, Lin Liuyi felt much more at ease. Fortunately, she wasn't love-struck and was clear-headed.

However, after talking to her sisters, Liu Mingyue also felt that she had been a bit too enthusiastic lately and should be more reserved. After all, she was a princess, and she hoped that Song Qing could withstand the test.

After that, Liu Mingyue became indifferent to Song Qing. After all, the sisters in the group were right, and she should still be more reserved.

Little did he know that he would start to get anxious as soon as Liu Mingyue started to ignore Song Qing.

"What's going on? When we strolled through the garden together before, Princess Changning was clearly very enthusiastic towards me."

"Could it be that you were too hasty, and she noticed something?"

Inside the inn, Song Qing and his cousin Zhang Yizhi were analyzing the changes in Liu Mingyue's attitude.

The two came to the capital to wait for the autumn examinations. After making inquiries, they found that they didn't have enough money to enter the capital's schools, so they tried to find a way to get in.

That day, when Liu Mingyue encountered the robbers, he originally wanted to win her favor and recommend himself so that she would recommend him to a good school.

Unexpectedly, this simple gesture won Liu Mingyue's heart. After Song Qing discovered this, he decided to play along. After all, it was not certain that he could pass the imperial examination with great difficulty, but if he could win the favor of Princess Changning, wouldn't it be easy for him to enter the officialdom in the future?

Song Qing was a smart man. Even though he noticed Liu Mingyue's feelings, he didn't point them out. Instead, he cooperated with Liu Mingyue, and the two created an ambiguous atmosphere.

It wouldn't be accurate to say that Song Qing didn't like Liu Mingyue. Putting aside their social status, Liu Mingyue was a woman of both talent and beauty, and with the added advantage of her family background, how could Song Qing not be attracted to her?

Therefore, he could only proceed slowly and gradually develop his feelings of affection.

Everything was going according to his plan, but he didn't know why Liu Mingyue suddenly became cold.

"Sigh, if I had known, I shouldn't have refused the academy that recommended it to us. Now it's all for nothing."

The guard relayed the entire conversation between the two to Liu Mingyue without missing a single word.

She felt a pang of disappointment. She never expected that Song Qing's approach to her was not for ulterior motives. If it weren't for the reminder from the sisters in the group, she wouldn't have fallen deeper and deeper into his trap, just as Song Qing thought, and ended up unable to leave him.

Liu Mingyue felt heartbroken; the budding spark of her feelings had been extinguished in an instant.

She didn't dare tell the girls in the group, it was too embarrassing, but in the end she did, since only the girls in the group could keep her secret.

When everyone heard this, they realized it was true and began to advise her to think more positively. They reasoned that her identity meant that some people would inevitably try to take shortcuts to get close to her, and it wasn't her fault.
