Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 138 - 138: Loyal Maid Who Died Because of Beauty (8)

Yi Yan did not look at Yue Ran as she spoke out loud.

Yue Ran nodded and smiled as she said, "Yes, the third prince really likes the Madam the most. All the good things will all go to the Madam."

Yi Yan's lips arched up when she heard Yue Ran's words.

"Alright, you only know how to speak nice words," Yi Yan said. "Hurry up and go take it. Do not be late so as to delay the third prince's work later."

"Yes, Madam," Yue Ran replied subserviently.

…

The Third Prince's Study

Lu Heng has been waiting in the study since he came back from the morning court.

In order to let Yue Ran see his attractive side, he had changed several clothes and even brought over the large glass mirror from the warehouse that he had bought from the merchants in the west to see which one of the robes looked more attractive on him.

Lu Heng finally chose to wear a set of royal blue and white robes.

"Wang Li, what do you think of me wearing this one?" Lu Heng asked.

Wang Li quickly answered with ease, "Your Highness, you are the most handsome one in this outfit. Miss Yue Ran will definitely fall in love with you, Your Highness."

Although Lu Heng is not a loyal man, like the majority of men in this era, he still looks young and very attractive. After all, he is the male protagonist in this world.

The set of blue and white robes on him made him look elegant and noble. When he was not smiling, he looked especially cold, indifferent, and majestic.

"Will Yue Ran feel that this prince is not a person easy to get close to when wearing this?" Lu Heng asked with a frown.

Wang Li was about to cry. The third prince had changed several pieces of clothing for a long time already.

But he could keep this thought in his heart and only said with a sad face, "But Your Highness is indeed the descendant of the emperor, the Son of Heaven. Your Highness is not a commoner."

Commoner. This word was actually a reminder for Lu Heng.

But Lu Heng's thoughts have traveled far. Thinking of that day when Yue Ran had met her cousin, Pei He, that man seemed to be wearing a white robe.

That cousin of Yue Ran looked as gentle and elegant as jade, which should be the type of man that Yue Ran likes. The more he thought about this, the more he felt that his thoughts were really right.

This may be just the reason why Yue Ran would like that poor commoner.

However, this prince must look better in white than Pei He.

Lu Heng turned his head to Wang Li and said, "You go and get this prince's moon white robe for this prince to wear."

"Your Highness is still thoughtful," Wang Li answered.

After a sentence of flattery was over, he immediately ran over to get it.

After changing his clothes, Lu Heng finally felt that he had found the right direction on how to get Yue Ran to like him.

"Your Highness, how can Miss Yue Ran's cousin compare to you? He could not even match a toe of yours in terms of identity or appearance," Wang Li said.

"Okay, you can only flatter me," Lu Heng said. "Yue Ran is coming soon. If you have nothing to do here, then hurry out and wait for her."

"Yes, Your Highness," Wang Li readily replied.

…

When Yue Ran arrived, she saw Wang Li guarding the front door of the third prince's study alone.

"Eunuch Wang, Ran Ran has come over to get the jade crystal ointment that His Highness had talked about in the morning to give it to the Madam," Yue Ran said as she bent her back a little.

The young girl had immediately stated the things that she wanted to do today in one go.

"Oh, how could this servant be able to bear the courtesy of Miss Yue Ran?" Wang Li said it with a slightly flattering tone.

Even Lu Heng's main wife, Chu Ning, has to be courteous to Wang Li, who is Lu Heng's right-hand man in dealing with his affairs. But since Wang Li clearly knew that his master was very interested in Yue Ran, he dared not make Yue Ran feel even the slightest dissatisfaction with him.

Otherwise, whose fault would it be when Yue Ran hated Lu Heng because of him?

Or maybe Yue Ran could even blow the pillow wind to make his life harder.

The latter one may or may not be impossible, but the former one is very likely to happen! Since the cons outweigh the pros, then why should he do something that would only put him at a disadvantage?

"The jade crystal ointment is in His Highness' study," Wang Li said. "Miss Yue Ran can just go in quickly."

Yue Ran did not expect that she would have to go inside the third prince's study to get it by herself. This was a place that even the Madam and the others were not allowed to enter at will.

"This…" Yue Ran said, and her words trailed off. "This is not very good, Eunuch Wang. Why do you not help take the jade crystal ointment out for me? Ran Ran can just wait here so as not to disturb the third prince's business."

"Miss Yue Ran, what are you talking about?" Wang Li asked. "How could you be bothering me? You go in quickly. His Highness is still waiting inside."

Wang Li smiled apologetically at Yue Ran.

Seeing that she could not beat Wang Li in this war of words, Yue Ran could only open the door and walk in.

Moreover, what does Eunuch Wang mean by waiting inside? His Highness, the third prince, is not waiting especially for her, right?

Yue Ran had not intended to close the door so that she could escape quickly when the time came after taking the jade crystal ointment, but who knew that Wang Li would be so "thoughtful" as to close the door behind her? She could only look forward and walk in cautiously.

Lu Heng had heard Yue Ran's voice a long time ago. He was currently posing with a fan in hand as he looked at the booklet with a solemn expression.

From the corner of the young man's eye, he listened to Yue Ran's slow and light steps on the floor, the slender and graceful figure during her salute, and the beauty of her steps, as if delicate lotuses were growing and blooming following every step of her way.

The shimmering light reflected from the window shone on the young girl's beautiful face, which made her every move look so gentle and moving.

"Yue Ran greets Your Highness, the third prince," Yue Ran said as she saluted the young man in front of her according to etiquette.

Lu Heng was stunned for a while, and the gaze that was looking at Yue Ran was scorching and burning hot. He had forgotten to call the young girl to rise, and there was only silence in the air.

Yue Ran's kneeling legs were sore and a little uncomfortable. Her delicate body looked a little unstable in its position.

"Yue Ran greets Your Highness, the third prince." Yue Ran repeated her words again.

Lu Heng returned to his senses when the young girl repeated her sentence for the second time. He then gave her a discreet cough and said, "Rise quickly. Just now, this prince was just a little too fascinated when reading this booklet for a while, and..."

Yue Ran did not wait for Lu Heng's explanation to end when her body could no longer bear it, and she swayed and fell to the ground.

The young girl's body had been kneeling for too long, and her legs felt numb—so numb that it was as if countless ants were running all over her legs. And when she had forcefully gotten up, her legs did not stand steady, and she fell just like this.

Seeing this, Lu Heng did not bother to pretend any longer. He quickly picked up the fallen Yue Ran and held her in his arms.

He looked down at her and asked in a low voice, "Yue Ran, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Yue Ran looked a little shocked, and her misty eyes with small crystal teardrops dotting her eyelashes met the young man's worried ones.

"This… this servant is all right," Yue Ran answered, feeling a little flustered. "It was just that my legs are a little numb from kneeling too long."

"Then it is okay," Lu Heng said. "It is all my fault for not paying attention just now."

The unusually intimate embrace made Yue Ran feel uncomfortable, and so she tried to struggle out of his hold.

"Your Highness, it is not appropriate for you to hug this servant like this," Yue Ran said with a slight frown on her face.

Of course, this is not an appropriate posture between a master and a servant. But Lu Heng did not feel anything wrong about it.

However, when he looked at the expression on Yue Ran's face, he could only reluctantly let go of her.

When Lu Heng retracted his hand, he accidentally touched Yue Ran's arms.

The young girl immediately hissed upon contact.

Seeing the painful expression on Yue Ran's face, Lu Heng nervously asked her, "What is the matter? Could it be that you accidentally hurt yourself before?"
