After shopping for fabrics, jade, calligraphy and paintings in the West Market, it was almost dusk when Qi Chuchu and Qianyu arrived at the famous Dongchuan Tower in Dongdu.
"Waiter, come to a private room." Qi Chuchu said.
"Okay, please come upstairs, you two."
The two of them walked upstairs with the boy leading the way, and just after they passed the corner, they saw Mu Chenduan, Zhan Yiming, and another man and woman about to leave.
Qi Chuchu was stunned for a moment, then immediately pulled Qianyu and walked over quickly, pretending not to recognize Mu Chenduan.
Qin Yu and Xue Feixian, who were following Mu Chenduan, saw Mu Chenduan stop and asked, "Your Highness, do you recognize the person who just passed by?"
Zhan Yiming wanted to watch the excitement, but in the end he only heard Mu Chenduan say, "Maybe I saw it wrong. Let's go."
When Qi Chuchu and Qian Yu returned to the palace, they brought back a lot of things, which they had bought from the market during the day.
Qi Chuchu had just finished changing her clothes when she came back, and was about to ask Qian Yu to bring some preserved fruit to eat when she saw Mu Chen sitting in her room.
"Why is the prince here at this time?" Qi Chuchu said with a smile.
"Of course I'm here to stay overnight." Mu Chenduan said calmly.
Does he know what he is talking about? Qi Chuchu was stunned with shock, but when she thought about seeing the woman Mu Chen Duan was following today, and also felt that men generally stank, she really didn't want to sleep with Bastard Duan.
She thought about the reasons and finally said, "I'm too weak and it's not convenient for me. Why don't you sleep in the sleeping hall, and I'll sleep in the conservatory in the side hall."
Mu Chenduan did not answer her words, but simply said, "Today, the king met two people who are very similar to the princess and your personal maid. Did the princess go to Dongchuan Tower when she went out today?"
"Ah, no." Qi Chuchu denied, and then went to ask Qian Yu and other servants to come in to wait on Mu Chen Duan. She was going to the side hall.
As a result, Qi Chuchu was pulled back by Mu Chenduan before he took a few steps, and suddenly fell weightless into Mu Chenduan's lap.
"I have already ordered you to go down. No one is allowed to come in and disturb you without being summoned. Princess, how can such a big bedroom not accommodate two people? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Mu Chen asked.
Qi Chuchu was blocked and had nothing to say, but she was sure of one thing now. Was His Royal Highness Duan Wang too vindictive?
Aren't you just pretending not to know him outside?
"But, I'm not familiar with changing your clothes, so I'd better ask someone to come in."
"There is a first time for everything, and the princess gradually became proficient at it."
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he let go of Qi Chuchu, walked to the inner hall, and spread his arms, signaling Qi Chuchu to come over and change his clothes.
In order not to offend Mu Chenduan in vain, Qi Chuchu went to undress him even though he was reluctant.
When Mu Chen pulled down the sleeve, it suddenly got stuck just below the shoulders. Qi Chuchu was surprised. Mu Chen said, "There is still a belt that has not been untied."
Qi Chuchu walked around numbly and untied the laces inside.
Is this too complicated? ! Qi Chuchu was really a little tired at the end. She finally finished taking off her clothes for Mu Chenduan. She looked at the only bed and humbly let Mu Chenduan lie down on it first.
She picked up a quilt and wanted to make it on the floor. With a cry of surprise, Qi Chuchu was pulled into the bed by Mu Chenduan in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the handsome face so close, Qi Chuchu tried his best to shake off the image of Jiang Yan in his mind and shrank to the corner of the bed.
Mu Chen curled his lips and followed Qi Chuchu's movements and approached.
"My lord! What are you going to do?" Qi Chuchu asked, crossing his hands defensively on his chest.
"I just feel that the princess seems to be very distant from me, and she can turn a blind eye when she meets her face to face, so I want to get closer to the princess."
Qi Chuchu smiled awkwardly. Sure enough, he saw it at that time!
Her mind was spinning rapidly and she said hurriedly, "I'm not turning a blind eye to the prince, I'm really thinking about you, haha."
"Think about this king?"
"The marriage between the prince and I is not a happy event worthy of celebration. Since you let me live comfortably in the prince's palace, then I will naturally think more about you. Besides, Qianyu and I wore men's clothes when we went out today. If we are disturbed, That’s not good for the two distinguished guests that the prince has today.”
It was true that Yuan was back. Mu Chenduan looked at Qi Chuchu's slightly worried face and found it really interesting.
"I really didn't expect that the princess has such delicate thoughts, all for the sake of this king."
Qi Chuchu didn't deny it, she just smiled politely and flatteringly, and moved back calmly.
"Since the princess cares about me so much, I should naturally take care of your physical condition. You and I don't need to consummate our marriage tonight. The princess will fall if she shrinks back any more. Please rest quickly."
After saying this, Mu Chenduan lay down on the outside and covered himself with a quilt. After Qi Chuchu responded, he also pulled a new quilt and fell asleep with his back to Mu Chenduan.
The next day, Mu Chenduan got up and went out to handle business. Qi Chuchu had been half asleep last night, and her sleep was not peaceful, so she fell asleep again.
After lunch, the servant brought a set of gorgeous clothes, saying that they were sent by King Duan to bring the princess to attend Princess Qingyang’s birthday party tomorrow.
Asking Qianyu to help put it away, Qi Chuchu began to analyze the information she got from shopping yesterday. In addition to cooperating with Rouge Shop, she also wanted to open a one-stop service teahouse.
However, if you want to open a teahouse, you must be rich. After thinking about it, she decided to let Zhaoruo make her famous and make the hydrosol popular.
"Qianyu, give Zhaoruo a greeting card for me. I have to ask her for help if I need anything."
"Yes, Princess."
After stretching his muscles again, Qi Chuchu went to stroll around the palace garden.
"Zhaoruo? Why are you here?" Qi Chuchu said in surprise, her eyes lit up.
"Chu Chu, I came with brother Qin Yu. Is he in the fifth brother's study?"
Brother Qin Yu?
