Xie Wanyu reluctantly accepted it after hearing what he said.
When Wuzhi County saw this scene, he hurriedly stepped forward, "I didn't know that the princess was coming, and I missed her from afar. Please forgive me for my sin." He said respectfully.
"Don't talk nonsense..." Zhu Fang frowned and was interrupted by Tai Shuqi before he could finish.
"Is the guest room ready to come out?" Tai Shuqi asked.
Wuzhi County smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have vacated the main house and replaced it with new bedding and furniture. Although it is not as good as the palace, it will definitely make you and the princess live comfortably."
"You are quite sensible." Tai Shuqi nodded with satisfaction.
Xie Wanyu looked ugly, but she couldn't expose him in front of so many people. Who knew what he was thinking.
Because of understanding, Xie Wanyu knew that he was not a casual joker.
When they arrived at the main room behind the Yamen, Tai Shuqi pulled Xie Wanyu in and closed the door.
The charcoal fire in the room was not silver charcoal, so it was a bit choking, but the room was still warm.
"Your Highness, do you want an explanation?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Tai Shuqi said, "Do you think today's situation is a natural disaster and not a man-made disaster?" He walked to the table and poured a cup of tea.
The tea is boiling hot, it seems that Wuzhi County has put in a lot of effort.
"You mean..." Xie Wanyu didn't finish her sentence. She was worried that the walls had ears.
Tai Shuyi nodded, "Someone will feel guilty if they do something wrong. In the future, money and beauty will have to be sent here. With you here, you can help me fend off some women." After he finished speaking, he looked at it intently. Xie Wanyu.
Seeing that she was still frowning, he couldn't help but say, "Just think of it as repaying the favor of saving my life."
When it comes to saving her life, Xie Wanyu's last struggle has been exhausted, "The prince has said so. If I don't agree, wouldn't it be unkind?"
Anyway, no one here knew them, and now, Tai Shuqi was trying to repay her kindness, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Moreover, in this unfamiliar place, she did not dare to break up with Tai Shuyi easily.
Tai Shuqi seemed to have known that Xie Wanyu would agree, and there was no emotion on his face. He took a sip of tea and said, "From now on, in order to avoid suspicion, you will sleep on the bed. If I feel aggrieved, I will just sleep on the couch."
Xie Wanyu looked at him. He had a slender figure. She could sleep well on that small couch. If he lay on it, his feet would probably be on the ground.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but feel awkward at the thought of two people living in the same room.
After Tai Shuyi said this, he put down the tea cup and said, "I still have something to do, so I'm going out first. If you have anything, you can send someone to look for it."
"Okay." Xie Wanyu nodded in agreement.
Tai Shuzhen looked at her aggrieved look and couldn't help but smile.
Later, Zhufang brought in all Xie Wanyu's things. There were only a few sets of clothes in total, so she just packed them up. Xie Wanyu asked Zhufang to find someone from Wuzhi County to move a screen over.
This blocks the space between the bed and the couch.
No matter how familiar they are, it is not suitable for a man and a woman to live together like this. With this screen, the two of them can have some distance.
Zhu Fang looked at it and couldn't help but said, "Madam, will this affect your reputation?"
"The sky is high here and the emperor is far away, and no one knows him. Besides, I have to repay him for saving his life." Xie Wanyu said quietly.
Zhu Fang pursed her lips, but said nothing.
She originally felt that Xiao Jing was not a good match, and now that he is no longer here, at such a young age, can't Xie Wanyu stay with him for the rest of her life?
Moreover, maybe Xie Wanyu didn't know her own heart, but Zhufang could see clearly that Xie Wanyu didn't just have ordinary feelings for Tai Shuqi.
"Madam, are you hungry? Please ask someone to serve food." Zhu Fang then said.
Xie Wanyu saw that everything was almost done, and she was indeed a little hungry, "Then let's set out the food."
After all, there is still a disaster in Hancheng, so the food is not rich.
There were two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and two thick-wheat steamed buns, which were as good as the magistrate could produce.
Xie Wanyu was not picky. After eating some, she let Zhufang hold the candle. She was used to reading some books.
Until late at night, Taishu Ai did not come back, so Xie Wanyu fell asleep alone.
She didn't know when Tai Shuqi came back. When she woke up in the morning, she saw the clothes he had changed on the bed and the tea he had drunk on the table.
Xie Wanyu knew that the disaster was serious, so Tai Shuqi was very busy.
She consciously reduced her presence and rarely left the room. After all, she didn't completely feel that no one knew her, and she was always afraid of what might happen.
It's just that she wants to reduce her chances of showing up, but some people just don't let her do it.
"anyone there?"
Xie Wanyu and Zhu Fang were sitting in the room, one was reading and the other was making clothes.
Hearing the sudden knock on the door and shouting, he stopped what he was doing. Zhu Fang walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's broad daylight, why should you lock the door? Our lady came here specially to see the princess." The maid at the door said in a very sharp voice, with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Xie Wanyu shook her head, and Zhu Fang immediately said, "Our princess is not feeling well, so we can skip her visit."
"How can that be done? If the princess is unwell, it is appropriate for my lady to come and take care of her. After all, here, the princess is a guest, and my lady must always behave like a landlord." The maid continued.
It seems that the person coming is the daughter of Wuzhi County.
Seeing the other party's strong request, Xie Wanyu nodded towards Zhu Fang.
Although Zhufang was a little helpless, she still opened the door, "I have seen Miss Wu." After she finished speaking, she stepped aside.
Immediately afterwards, a girl wearing an emerald green winter coat walked in. She had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a straight nose. She had a more exotic beauty, not like the lean old man in Wuzhi County.
Her skin is extremely fair and beautiful, "Wu Shi Qinghong, greeting the princess."
Wu Qinghong gave a half salute, but did not kneel on the ground like her father.
Xie Wanyu was not a real princess, so she didn't care about her, and she lowered her eyes and seemed to be hiding too many emotions.
"No need to be polite." Before Xie Wanyu could finish her words, she had already stood up.
Then he sat on the chair next to him and looked at Xie Wanyu with his amber eyes, "I was supposed to come to see you yesterday, but I was accompanying the prince to give porridge, so I was delayed."
Mentioning Tai Shuyi, there was a hint of blush on her cheeks.
After all, men with astonishing looks like Tai Shuqi were so rare, and it was rare for her to see him once, and she had already been attracted to him.
Therefore, today I want to see what Xie Wanyu is like.
In Wu Qinghong's eyes, Xie Wanyu is beautiful, but she is a little less agile than a girl, more calm, and still has a bit of a ladylike attitude.
She unconsciously trimmed her hair, feeling that her temperament was more palatable to men.
"I never care about these false etiquettes." Xie Wanyu said calmly.
