The next day, Ruan Tang asked Xiaofeng to drive her carriage to Prince Ning's Mansion.
On the way, she even made a special trip to Tianxiang Tower.
She has been busy with embroidery these days, and the manuscripts she takes the time to write are always sent to her by Xiaofeng.
Now that seven or eight days have passed, it's time for her to settle her profit share.
She had just entered Tianxiang Tower, and as soon as the shopkeeper saw her, he immediately came over to greet her.
"Miss Ruan, you are finally here." The shopkeeper's face was full of joy, and he knew at a glance that business must be booming these days.
As expected, when the payment was made to her, the seven-day share amounted to a full five thousand taels.
Although this was not a lot of money compared to her previous business, she was satisfied with being able to earn so much from just a few small articles.
She took the money and gave a few manuscripts to the shopkeeper before leaving Tianxiang Tower.
But when she was getting on the carriage, she saw a figure flashing past an inn diagonally opposite Tianxiang Tower, which looked a bit like Chu Mu.
But she stopped and looked for a while, but no one came out again.
She shook her head, thinking that she might have seen it wrong.
Without thinking much, she got on the carriage and went directly to Prince Ning's Mansion.
Everyone in Prince Ning's Mansion was very familiar with her, and the guard guarding the door saw that it was her and let her go.
As soon as he entered, Uncle Gu greeted him.
"Miss Ruan is here." Uncle Gu was very happy to see her.
"Hello, Uncle Gu, is His Highness here?"
"His Royal Highness went to court and has not come back yet, but it is almost noon now, so he will be back soon."
In the past few days, because of the murder of Concubine Wan Gui by her master, her father visited his Highness in the court and demanded severe punishment from the Holy Emperor.
However, His Highness had Princess Jingning testify that it was Concubine Wan Gui who drugged him to seduce him. His Highness could not bear the humiliation and had to kill her as a last resort.
The Holy Emperor has long disliked Concubine Wan Gui. Knowing that she shamelessly seduced his uncle, he has long been furious. How can he still make decisions for Concubine Wan Gui's father?
Therefore, Concubine Wan Gui's father had been causing trouble in the court these days, making His Highness very irritable.
In addition, Miss Ruan has not been seen in the house for several days, and His Highness's mood seems to be getting lower and lower.
Now that people are finally here, Uncle Gu must be the happiest.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Highness is happy with this girl Ruan, but he is so happy that he is deep in his bones.
"Well, I'll wait for him at Canglang Garden. When he comes back, please tell Uncle Gu that I'm here."
"Okay, Miss Ruan, let's go."
After Ruan Tang left for Canglang Garden, Uncle Gu called a few maids and ordered them to deliver various refreshments and fruits to Canglang Garden.
When Ruan Tang arrived at Canglang Garden, he went directly to Chu Mu's study.
I can just use the time waiting for him to write down a storybook.
It's just that she was so absorbed in writing that she forgot about the time and didn't pay attention. It was past noon, but Chu Mu hadn't come back yet.
It wasn't until it got dark that Ruan Tang was tired of writing, so he couldn't help but lie on the desk and take a nap.
When Chu Mu came back, he learned that Ruan Tang was here, and the gloom of the day outside suddenly disappeared.
He walked quickly towards Canglang Garden. When he saw the lit study, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.
For the first time, he realized that someone was at home waiting for him to come back. It turned out to be such a happy thing.
He couldn't think of anything else and hurried to the study.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the little head leaning on the desk.
And the sound of him coming in did not make the owner of the little head raise his head.
Chu Mu frowned, subconsciously stepped lightly and walked quickly to her side.
When he saw her sleeping, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He knelt down next to her, moved closer, and looked at her sleeping face.
Only then did she realize that her eyes were completely dark, and she looked as if she hadn't slept in several days.
Chu Mu glanced at the manuscript she had pressed under her head. She must have been writing the manuscript day and night these days.
He couldn't help but feel bad. He had obviously given her all his money, so why did she have to be so stubborn and not want to spend his money?
But he was heartbroken, and he knew that she would definitely not change her mind about what she had decided.
He stood up, picked her up from the chair, and wanted to take her back to the bedroom to sleep.
But after he took her a few steps, she gently arched her arms in his arms and opened her eyes.
When she saw it was Chu Mu, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and whispered in a soft voice: "You're back!"
Chu Mu said 'hmm', "If you are sleepy, just sleep. I will carry you to the bedroom to sleep."
Ruan Tang was indeed very sleepy. In the past few days, in order to embroider his belt and write his storybook, she only slept for one or two hours every day, and her body was already very tired.
However, she did not nod, but asked Chu Mu to put her down, "Your Highness, let me down first."
Chu Mu frowned, but still obeyed her.
Ruan Tang got down from his arms and became a little more awake.
She walked back to the desk, picked up a long wooden box on it, and walked to Chu Mu.
"Your Highness, this is for you." Ruan Tang said, handing the wooden box to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu was confused at first, and then surprised.
"Tangtang's gift to this king?"
"Well, I made it with my own hands, so don't dislike it."
She still knows herself. The pattern she embroidered is indeed not very good, but it is still her intention. If Chu Mu dislikes it, she will still feel uncomfortable.
However, she seemed to have overestimated Chu Mu's aesthetics, because when he opened the box and saw the belt, he did not show a look of disgust, but a look of surprise.
He first held the belt and examined it carefully, and then gently rubbed the embroidery pattern with his fingertips.
"Did Tangtang embroider this himself?"
Ruan Tang nodded, "Although the embroidery is not very good, I have worked very hard. I stayed up several nights to embroider it. You are not allowed to say it is ugly."
"It's not ugly, this colorful duck is still lifelike."
"What duck? That's a swan, noble swan, do you understand?" Ruan Tang couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Sure enough, men don’t know how to appreciate it.
"Well, it's a swan, but I'm blind."
Chu Mu said, taking off the original belt on his body and directly wrapping it around the one given by Ruan Tang.
Because the swan is colorful, the fabric used in other parts of the belt is white.
But in order to make it less monotonous, Ruan Tang sewed a circle of colorful gems on it.
When I just watched it, Ruan Tang thought it was pretty good-looking.
But after Chu Mu put it on, she felt unsightly.
It especially doesn’t match Chu Mu’s noble temperament.
This belt has the feeling of a nouveau riche wearing a suit, which directly lowers Chu Mu's temperament by several levels.
Especially the pair of swans, how ugly they look.
"Your Highness, why don't you give it back to me, and I'll practice my embroidery skills and embroider it for you again. This one is really..." I can't get it out of my hands.
But Chu Mu didn't listen to her, "I think it's very good. I like this kind of simplicity with a bit of luxury."
hehe! Simple yet a little luxurious!
The description is quite appropriate, the simple ones are colorful swans, and the luxurious ones are gems.
