Even though his whole body was smoky and smoky all day long, he was not afraid of Prince Mu's disapproval.
Qin Wanwan is very contradictory. She wants Qin Xiangxiang to live a good life, but she also wants Qin Xiangxiang to not live that well.
But when she saw Prince Mu eating pancakes and porridge with relish, she felt that she might have thought too much. At certain times, men hope that their women can enter the hall as well as the kitchen.
Cui Qingqing was the most supportive: "I tasted Mrs. Qin's whole fish banquet a while ago, and I thought Mrs. Qin's craftsmanship was so good! Now these ordinary pancakes and rice porridge are even more heart-warming."
Lu Shaoting glanced at Cui Qingqing.
As the only daughter of the Cui family, Cui Qingqing was very favored, and she behaved quite flamboyantly on weekdays, especially with her head full of gold hairpins, as if others didn't realize that the Cui family was very rich. This time when I took them to Yanzhou, the hairpin on my head was a little less, but it was still shining with gold.
If there were gangsters, she would be the first to rob.
Lu Shaoting snorted coldly when he thought of this.
This Prince Mu is quite capable, but he just came to the capital for a wander, and he provoked so many beautiful young ladies to follow him. The Holy One was indeed right, Prince Mu was not like Marquis Wude, who was embarrassed by his high position. Wudehou's great reputation was finally lost to his only son.
Lu Shaoting felt excited when he thought of what the emperor had promised him.
But he was a person who was very good at hiding his emotions. He just snorted and continued to chew on his dry biscuits.
Eaters are short-tongued and soft-handed. They, Imperial City Secretary, will never eat a little bit of other people's food.
But Prince Mu really didn't invite them. Instead, he divided up the large pile of pancakes and ate the whole pot of porridge. He personally and another entourage, carrying bowls, chopsticks and pots, went to the restaurant near Sansili Pavilion. Someone borrowed water to wash her off.
A dignified prince actually washes the pots and dishes himself, which is really a loss of status.
However, at the enshrinement banquet, Mu Shizi ignored his ironclad character and danced with the sword when the emperor asked him to do so. Lu Shaoting looked down upon him at that time.
When Mu Ting and Yao Erlang went to wash the pots, Cui Qingqing took the opportunity to get into a car.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Wanwan did not welcome her at all.
"I'm not looking for you." Cui Qingqing squeezed beside Qin Xiangxiang, "Madam Qin, is that car in front really Princess Huizhen?"
Princess Huizhen has not shown her face since departure.
Qin Xiangxiang nodded: "It is indeed Princess Huizhen. According to the relationship between your two families, Madam Cui has also met Princess Huizhen, right?"
"We played together when we were very young, but we haven't seen each other since Marquis Quan'an and Princess Jiaqing left. But I remember very clearly that Princess Huizhen was very beautiful," Cui Qingqing said. .
Marquis Quan'an and Princess Jiaqing are the parents of Princess Huizhen.
"If Marquis Quan'an and Princess Jiaqing were still there, Princess Huizhen would definitely be a first-class beauty in the capital, with both appearance and talent. As for the Second Lady of Qin, she might have to be ranked second for the time being."
Qin Wanwan curled her lips and rarely refuted Cui Qingqing.
Cui Qingqing said excitedly: "Otherwise, let's go and play with Princess Huizhen. Let's play chess with her and talk about her painting skills."
Qin Wanwan suddenly thought about it, but she was still coy: "Isn't this good?"
"It's still a month's journey from the capital to Yanzhou! If we don't have some fun along the way, how can we spend this long time?"
Cui Qingqing's advice is first-rate.
Qin Wanwan glanced at Qin Xiangxiang hesitantly. The latter was holding a handful of beans in his hand.
Wait, why does she want to look at Qin Xiangxiang? Qin Xiangxiang didn't seem to have any special skills except being a good cook.
"Okay." Qin Wanwan agreed.
Cui Qingqing went to Princess Huizhen's car to ask in person. The curtain was lifted, revealing a pleasant round face. It was Princess Huizhen's personal maid Xiaoman.
Cui Qingqing explained the purpose of her visit, but Xiao Man shook her head: "I'm sorry, Lady Cui, our princess is observing her filial piety and has no intention of having fun. Please ask Lady Cui to go back."
Cui Qingqing apologized for a while: "Sorry, I forgot."
Xiao Man only smiled slightly and lowered the curtain again.
Qin Wanwan also heard this and was about to go back to her car when Cui Qingqing grabbed her: "My car is larger and more comfortable than yours. I also brought many books and chessboards..."
When Mu Ting came back from washing the pot, he saw Qin Xiangxiang's car with the curtain half-opened, and the young lady was picking out beans with a dustpan. And Qin Wanwan didn't know where she went.
"Where is Mrs. Qin?" Mu Ting asked.
"Let's go to Mrs. Cui's car." Qin Xiangxiang looked up at him. She didn't expect that Mu Ting would wash the pots and dishes himself.
"Oh..." Mu Ting was thoughtful.
After a while, the team set off. Qin Xiangxiang was concentrating on picking beans when the curtain was suddenly opened and a person got in.
It was actually Mu Ting.
Qin Xiangxiang stared at him dumbfounded and subconsciously grabbed a handful of beans: "What are you doing?" She originally thought the carriage was quite spacious, but as soon as Mu Ting came in, the carriage suddenly became cramped.
"Come up here and pick beans with you," Mu Ting said.
She was good at picking the beans herself, so why did she need him to come up and pick the beans. Besides, what should people think about a man and a woman sharing a car?
Qin Xiangxiang was about to speak to drive him away, but Mu Ting stretched out a finger and lightly touched her lips: "Shh."
His fingers smelled of grass, a little pleasant, and a little hot.
Qin Xiangxiang was in a daze for a moment.
Mu Ting whispered in her ear, his voice low: "Help me."
He leaned too close, and when he spoke, his hot breath blew against her ears, giving her goosebumps all over her body. Help, help, help him? He, he, he couldn't have been poisoned by lust, and he wanted her to help him solve it, right? In broad daylight, in full view of everyone...
Qin Xiangxiang felt as if his brain was hot and turned into a paste. He watched helplessly as Mu Ting stretched out his long hand and lowered the curtain. Obviously before setting off, she made an agreement with him not to publicize her engagement to him... Now it was better, he didn't publicize it, but he got in the car and did this to her. Damn Mu Ting!
The moment the curtain was lowered, Qin Xiangxiang saw Lu Shaoting's extremely contemptuous eyes outside.
Just when Qin wanted to put all the beans in his hand on Mu Ting's face to wake him up, he saw Mu Ting take out a thin roll of silk from his arms, and then take out a piece of charcoal. Pen.
Qin Xiangxiang: "?"
Mu Ting spread out the silk and quickly drew various symbols on it.
No matter how unbearable it was, Qin Xiangxiang was also Nangong Wenyue's apprentice. After just a few glances, he could tell that Mu Ting was drawing a map!
Qin Xiangxiang suddenly relaxed from the tension in his heart.
This man was really the one who came up to draw a map secretly and then drew a map, which made her misunderstood!
Mu Ting drew very quickly and quickly finished the map. He rolled it up into a ball and stuffed it into his arms. Then he took the dustpan from her hand and said, "I'll pick it out."
"No need, get out quickly." Qin Xiangxiang didn't want to be squeezed into this narrow carriage with him anymore.
"That won't work. If I go out now, people will be suspicious." Mu Ting said seriously.
He lowered his voice: "Then Lu Shaoting was sent by the emperor to monitor me. Madam Qin, please help me."
The reason he was looking for was fair and aboveboard, and his attitude was so flattering that Qin Xiangxiang couldn't refuse.
"Okay, but you can't stay too long."
Mu Ting was overjoyed: "I'll go down after helping you pick the beans."
Outside the car, Lu Shaoting thought with disdain: Mu Shizi's eyesight is really bad. There are so many beautiful young ladies, but he chose the most ordinary-looking one. Or was he actually putting it on for fun? In fact, there is someone else that Mu Shizi really likes?
For example, Princess Huizhen, who is nominally his adopted sister?
