Qi Chuchu swallowed silently and pretended to be calm.
"Your Majesty, if you haven't finished washing yet, I will go out and wait. Your Majesty, call me when you are ready."
Mu Chenduan's eyes were dark, and he threw the tea cup on the side to the door, getting stuck in the crack of the door.
Qi Chuchu, who was walking in a panic, suddenly paused, and then she heard the sound of gurgling water.
Qi Chuchu gritted her teeth and prepared to rush out with a lunge, but no matter how fast she was, she still couldn't beat His Highness Duan Wang, who had high martial arts value.
"Ah..." With a scream, Qi Chuchu was hugged around the waist by Mu Chenduan, and the inner clothes on Mu Chenduan's body were sloppily draped, revealing a large amount of skin.
"Princess, I am already well. Come and help me get dressed."
"But—" Qi Chuchu had just started to speak, and felt that he was being carried uncontrollably to the clothes rack by Mu Chen.
Her hands subconsciously grabbed Mu Chenduan's waist to help her walk steadily.
Have no idea! The little girl doesn't have the power to bind a chicken, and she can't use the poison ring on her hand. After all, she has seen the power of this ring when she was in the village, and she was instantly killed!
But His Highness Prince Duan may still become an ally, so naturally we cannot harm his life!
Qi Chuchu pretended to be calm, with a smile on her face, and awkwardly helped Mu Chen get dressed.
"Princess, you seem to have forgotten to tie the inner layer."
Mu Chenduan reminded, Qi Chuchu responded stiffly and put her hand into his clothes to tie the innermost belt.
Qi Chuchu's hands could feel the ups and downs of his chest, and she could feel that His Highness Duan Wang's figure was still very impressive. She couldn't help but have a red cloud on her face.
Putting on his outer robe again, Qi Chuchu suddenly felt something was wrong when he was adjusting Mu Chen's collar. The next second, there was a drop of bright red blood on his plain inner garment.
Then, another drop.
Blood? Qi Chuchu stepped away some distance and found that it was his own nosebleed, and his pupils suddenly became enlarged.
"What happened to the princess?"
Qi Chuchu looked up when he heard the sound, and when he saw the surprise in Mu Chenduan's eyes, he really wanted to find a place to crack!
Isn't this too embarrassing? Did I get a nosebleed again?
"It's okay! I'm okay! It's just too hot in this hothouse!" Qi Chuchu raised her head and said, then ran around Mu Chenduan and ran out.
When the maid in Luanqi Pavilion saw the princess running out with her nose covered, she hurriedly went to check. Qi Chuchu did not dare to slow down until she was far away, then she ordered the maid to fetch a basin of cold water and bring it to the bedroom.
"Princess? What's wrong with you? Why is there blood on your sleeves?" Qianyu asked worriedly while holding Qi Chuchu.
"Maybe I'm angry." As he said that, Qi Chuchu took off the blood-stained robe.
The maid who fetched water happened to bring the water over, and she immediately dipped some cold water into it and patted her forehead. Qianyu also helped her clean up the remaining blood on her face.
"Is the dinner princess's dinner too spicy? I will make you a cup of chrysanthemum tea later. Princess, please drink it before going to bed."
Qi Chuchu responded repeatedly, raising her head which made her neck feel a little sore. She asked the maid Xue'er on the side to help her check if there was still a nosebleed and prepare to return to a normal posture.
It happened that Mu Chenduan came in at this moment. Qi Chuchu was still looking up, and Mu Chenduan's face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Mu Chenduan supported her steadily, "You go down first."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xueer stepped back in response, with a smile on her lips.
With only two people left in the room, Qi Chuchu quickly stood up and kept a distance of three meters from Mu Chenduan.
Mu Chenduan found it funny and just asked, "Stop it?"
Qi Chuchu gave a fake smile and responded. Seeing that Mu Chenduan was about to come over again, she quickly stretched out her hand to make a rejection gesture, "Your Majesty! If Your Majesty really wants to recruit me, shouldn't we reach a consensus? Ah! You and I are partners and allies, we are only superficially married."
"Oh? Then the princess is going to agree to this king in advance?" Mu Chenduan asked.
Is that so?
"Let's just forget it, but now! I hope you, the prince, will keep some distance from me." Qi Chuchu said, looking very cautious.
In any case, Mu Chenduan's ultimate goal was achieved. He felt comfortable, so he stopped teasing Qi Chuchu and took a few steps away consciously.
Qianyu made chrysanthemum tea and brought it in. She felt strange when she saw that there was a Milky Way between her princess and the prince.
Qi Chuchu finished drinking tea and prepared to rest. Although Mu Chenduan still slept in Luanqi Pavilion, he did not sleep with Qi Chuchu. She still slept in Nuan Pavilion.
Early the next morning, Qi Chuchu and Qian Yu went to Ruomengwu, which was in the preparation stage for opening.
Zhaoruo went to the palace to look for her, but failed, so he went to find Qin Yu again.
Unexpectedly, when Zhaoruo and Qin Yu were visiting Danmoxuan, they bumped into Qi Chuchu and Qianyu dressed in men's clothing.
"Chu Chu! You, why did you and Qian Yu come out dressed like this?"
"We are talking about business, Zhaoruo, what are you and General Qin doing here?"
Speaking of this, Zhaoruo couldn't help but sigh. After listening, Qi Chuchu understood that it was because of the upcoming birthday of the Empress Dowager.
Zhao Ruoye later heard an anecdote about Princess Duan dancing into a painting at Princess Qingyang's birthday banquet, so she asked Qi Chuchu to accompany her to choose a painting.
"But I think maybe giving grandma a gift..." Qi Chuchu suddenly realized that there were many people at this time, so she suppressed those three words, and continued, "Many people can do this to give grandma paintings."
"The idea of engraving was given to Xiao Qi..."
"Zhaoruo, why don't you try something else and make a birthday cake?"
