The moment Qin Xiangxiang glanced up, the open window suddenly closed.
She was sure that Princess Huizhen was indeed watching them from the attic.
It was really heart-breaking. Princess Huizhen saw them clearly from above, but they knew nothing about it. Qin Xiangxiang lowered his eyes and accidentally met Liao Haohai's eyes. The latter quickly moved away as if he had done something wrong. Qin Xiangxiang raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Liao Haohai knew about this. Maybe the eldest princess asked him to go there just now to discuss how to let Princess Huizhen see Mu Ting without leaving any trace.
It seems that the eldest princess is very optimistic about Mu Ting.
She was thinking about it when she suddenly saw Mu Ting getting up and said to the eldest princess: "It's getting late. I have to go back to my private house to make some preparations for the banquet. I have to leave now. Please forgive me, eldest princess." .”
Qin Xiangxiang was a little surprised. Mu Ting seemed to have not eaten much. The eldest princess didn't even have the words to say what she was ready for.
The eldest princess didn't care much: "I've forced myself to keep the prince. Haohai, you send the prince off for me."
Sure enough, Liao Haohai played the role of lobbyist. But why does Liao Haohai always feel like he doesn't dare to look directly at her?
It was still the familiar road, but the attendant leading the way was a little far away. Liao Haohai said: "I have something to say to Prince Mu alone."
Qin Xiangxiang and Yao Erlang obediently retreated further away.
Liao Haohai got straight to the point: "Is Prince Mu getting engaged?"
"Not yet. Just say what Liao Pingshi wants to say."
Liao Haohai said: "The eldest princess has a granddaughter, who is named Princess Huizhen, and she is currently in her boudoir. The eldest princess asked me specifically to find out whether Prince Mu has ever been engaged. If not, is Prince Mu willing to marry Princess Huizhen?"
Mu Ting stopped and said, "When we were eating just now, Princess Huizhen was watching us from the attic separated by a wall, right?"
Liao Haohai nodded: "Yes."
Mu Ting said: "What does the eldest princess see in me? I am just a warrior. Although I have the title of Crown Prince, I have no real power. Furthermore, I will leave the capital soon after being granted the title. If the princess marries me, I will be my wife." , then you have to marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog, and follow me to Yanzhou where the yellow sand covers the sky. The princess is rich and noble, but can she bear the pain?"
Liao Haohai said: "Since the eldest princess opened her mouth, she has considered these things. The eldest princess also specifically asked me to explain that she only has a granddaughter from Princess Huizhen. If the prince gets married to the princess, the eldest princess will definitely spend all her money to serve the princess. The princess prepares ten miles of red makeup."
"Sounds good. But why do all the handsome men in the capital fall in love with me? Besides..." Mu Ting's eyes became meaningful, "The eldest princess should know that military generals in the imperial court are not allowed to marry girls from aristocratic families. Unwritten rules.”
In fact, this rule is to prevent military generals from colluding with the family and rebelling if they disagree. The generals have military power, and the aristocratic families have money and connections, so it is easy to rebel.
Liao Haohai also thought about this problem.
"Since the eldest princess asked me to ask you, she must have been prepared." He could only say this, "Your Majesty...what do you think?"
"I don't want to." Mu Ting refused very neatly.
Liao Haohai sighed: "Okay, I can save it. By the way, I'd like to trouble the prince to tell Madam Qin that Madam Qin is now in my home... very good."
Qin Xiangxiang watched Liao Haohai and Mu Ting say goodbye and quickened their pace to leave first.
Mu Ting looked at them: "Why don't you leave quickly?"
The three of them hurriedly left the eldest princess's mansion, but only Zhu Sanlang was waiting outside, and Chen Ze was not there.
Zhu Sanlang said: "Uncle Chen seemed to have met an acquaintance just now and chased him. Oh, Kang Si also followed him."
With Kang Si following him, Mu Ting felt slightly relieved and got into the car, but asked Zhu Sanlang to go to Fan Tower first.
Qin Xiangxiang heard clearly that Mu Ting said to go to Fan Tower. Is this the reason why the banquet at the princess's residence was too unpalatable and he just took a few bites and left?
Are the kitchen workers in the Princess's Mansion so bad? It was a waste of those ingredients. Qin wanted to think about it, if she had those ingredients, she would be ecstatic.
"Erlang." Mu Ting called from the carriage.
Yao Erlang quickly jumped into the car: "Young Master."
"When you return to the yard later, you can find my other black cloak." Feng Xiangtang's clothes in other colors seemed to be either rich or expensive, and he didn't like them very much, so he specifically asked Feng Xiangtang to wear them. I made a few extra sets of black cloaks for later use. The set the eldest princess prepared for him was too luxurious and did not suit him. When meeting the emperor, it is better to be ordinary.
"Yes." Yao Erlang was about to get out of the car when he said again, "Ms. Qin, please come up."
Qin Xiangxiang didn't have the ability to jump up, so Zhu Sanlang stopped the car and Yao Erlang helped her up.
When she entered the car, Mu Ting was leaning against the car wall, looking at her with a pair of eyes, and there was a hint of fatigue on his face.
"What are your orders from Prince Mu?"
"Liao Haohai asked me to tell you that Mrs. Qin is living a good life in the Liao family."
Qin Wanwan is actually at the Liao family? Qin Xiangxiang smiled after being surprised. It was indeed not easy for Liao Haohai to muster the courage to retain Qin Wanwan.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived in front of Fan Tower.
Yao Erlang was about to ask Mu Ting to get out of the car, but Mu Ting said, "You three can go in and eat whatever you want." As he spoke, he threw a money bag at Yao Erlang.
It turned out that Mu Ting left the dinner early and came to Fanlou again just to let them eat. No wonder Yao Erlang and Zhu Sanlang were loyal to him.
Heck, if she hadn't been working for Nangong Wenyue, she would have wanted to change her master.
However, Mu Ting was generous and treated his subordinates well. Yao Erlang, Zhu Sanlang and others also thought about their master. Both of them ordered the cheapest noodle soup in Fanlou.
Qin Xiangxiang was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others, so he also ordered a bowl of noodle soup.
While waiting for the noodle soup, Qin Xiangxiang sat upright, looking at his nose and heart without glancing at all.
Even Yao Erlang couldn't stand it: "Hey, madam, look, that screen is really beautiful and tight."
Good guy, when Qin Xiangxiang raised his eyes, he saw a shadowy man sitting on the other side of the screen wearing a black cloak. She looks a bit like Nangong Wenyue.
Qin Xiangxiang quickly looked away, still watching his nose and heart.
The noodle soup came quickly, and Yao Erlang specially smelled it: "Fan Lou is indeed well-deserved. Just smelling it makes me want to eat it. By the way, do you guys want to buy a bowl for the young master?" Just now I saw that the young master didn’t have much use.”
But Mu Ting didn't explain. Qin Xiangxiang thought of Mu Ting's tiredness just now and said, "You can buy some sweet pastries. Eating sweet pastries can make people feel happy."
Yao Erlang and Zhu Sanlang both nodded: "The lady is right."
The two of them stopped talking, lowered their heads and sucked hard, and quickly finished the bowl of noodles. Qin Xiangxiang was slower and still had half a noodle left.
Yao Erlang was about to ask Qin Xiangxiang to eat slowly and not in a hurry, but he saw Qin Xiangxiang speeding up and finishing the noodles in a hurry: "Let's buy some cakes for the prince quickly."
The eldest lady is really caring for the young master. Yao Erlang and Zhu Sanlang thought so. Just as the two of them were looking at Dr. Chajiu, Qin Xiangxiang took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, calmly spit out something from his mouth, wrapped it in the handkerchief without leaving a trace, and stuffed it casually. into the sleeve pocket.
The three of them quickly bought the pastries and went out carrying Fan Lou's special rattan basket.
It was the first time for Yao Erlang and Zhu Sanlang to buy cakes for Mu Ting. They became shy and unanimously pushed Qin Xiangxiang to send Mu Ting the cakes.
Just give it away, Mu Ting is not a big insect that can eat people. Qin Xiangxiang opened the curtain and said with a smile: "Your Majesty..."
But inside, Mu Ting quickly covered his shirt and looked at her innocently.
The smile on Qin Xiangxiang's face faded and replaced with a solemn expression: "Are you injured?" No matter how quickly he covered it up, she could see some blood on his waist.
