On the night of the fourteenth, Shangguan Rou specifically called Mu Qingyan, and Mu Nanping consciously left the house, leaving the mother and daughter alone.
Shangguan Rou told her every word of advice, for fear that something would go wrong with her.
"Mom, don't worry, my daughter knows."
"We must deal with it carefully and make sure Mu Qi follows him every step of the way." Shangguan Rou was still worried.
Mu Qingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded in agreement.
"Don't laugh." Shangguan Rou said with a straight face, pretending to be serious, "Mother knows that you don't like the prince, but you can't lose your etiquette, so as not to be criticized by others."
Mu Qingyan nodded heavily and persuaded Shangguanrou to let her go.
At Yinshi the next day, Fenxiang got ready to change clothes and wash up.
Mu Qingyan was sleepy and allowed Fenxiang to move her hands up and down, "It's not sunrise yet."
She is used to getting up early, but she slept late last night and now she is very sleepy.
"Miss, there are a lot of people going there today, and you are going to ride in the same carriage with His Royal Highness, so of course you have to dress up well."
Fenxiang said while changing her clothes. Mu Qingyan nodded and asked her to serve him with half-squinted eyes.
Fenxiang picked up the blue suit and unfolded it, first put on the inner layer, then put on the jacket on the front and the big sleeves on the top, tied them one by one for her.
Finally, hang a jade pendant that shows your identity as a lady around your waist and tie it well.
Then came the hair buns.
Mu Qingyan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror. Behind her, besides Fenxiang, there were other maids busy with her work. She was also at leisure.
Drawing eyebrows, dotting hair, applying rouge, and finally choosing a suitable hairpin to put on. When Mu Qingyan opened her eyes, she saw a girl with a peach-like face in the mirror.
It's just that his eyes are still a little hazy.
She covered her face, looked back at Fenxiang and said softly: "How about a change?" I'm afraid it wasn't too ostentatious to go out like this.
Fenxiang's attitude was resolute. When Mu Qingyan raised her hand to pull out the hairpin on her head, she quickly stopped her and said, "If you don't want to change it, this is the only one that looks good."
It’s just so pretty!!
That's it, that's it. I don't know how long it will take to do it again.
She raised her head and looked outside the door. The sky had turned white after the fennel had been tossed.
"Miss, the prince said he would call you when he leaves. Why don't you eat something first? It's a long way, don't get hungry."
"It's up to you." Even though she wasn't hungry now.
Fortunately, the fennel had been stewed in advance, and a bowl was quickly brought to her. Mu Qingyan had to sigh, after a long time, this girl was really thoughtful.
After a bowl of porridge, her stomach was no longer empty. As soon as she put down the bowl, Mu Xuan sent someone to tell her that the prince's carriage was waiting at the gate of the palace.
The group of people set off immediately and met Bailiyou who was looking for her halfway.
When he saw her for the first time, Bailiyou's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he curled his lips in pleasure. She was wearing the dress he gave her.
Mu Xuan, who was waiting next to him, also fell silent for a moment.
Mu Qingyan walked a little faster, "How come His Highness is here in person?"
She thought it was just a carriage coming to pick her up, but in the end, even people arrived. How could this happen? The prince of a country came to the palace to pick her up in person. It was so against the rules.
"It's okay, they don't dare to gossip." Bailiyou smiled like a spring breeze, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Mu Qingyan was slightly embarrassed, knowing that it would not be good to go out wearing these clothes.
Several people walked to the door. Mu Xuan had to go to the palace to pick up Bailirou first, so she and Bailiyou were left alone.
Bailiyou got on the carriage and turned around to see Mu Qingyan walking towards another carriage. His eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Come here."
Mu Qingyan paused, turned around and looked at him with a grimace, "Your Highness, a civilian girl can just take another car."
"Come here." Bailiyou repeated it again as if he didn't hear her.
There were several pairs of eyes staring blankly around her. Suddenly, she was two years older than her. She didn’t want to ride in the same car as the prince!
The journey is long and she will have to stay for a long time. She will feel uncomfortable by then.
Her feet stood still as if they were rooted. Seeing her refusal, Bailiyou got off the carriage and walked over to grab her hand. He pulled her over without allowing her to refuse.
After getting in the car, he extended his hand to her.
Mu Qingyan felt that those eyes were about to widen, and she could even hear gasps.
"What, do you need me to carry you up?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and there was an air of threat about him, and he was about to come down as he spoke.
Mu Qingyan was so frightened that she immediately took his hand and got into the carriage. If she stayed for a while, she would probably be laughed at. She might as well get up quickly.
Bailiyou suppressed a smile and lowered the car curtain. Suddenly, Mu Qingyan opened the curtain again and looked at Fenxiang and Mu Qi and said, "You guys go to that car."
It was a long journey, and if they walked like this, their feet would hurt for several days, so naturally they wouldn't let them suffer like this.
Mu Qi and Fenxiang nodded together and walked towards the carriage behind them.
Mu Qingyan put down the curtain and just sat back down when she heard the clear voice of a man beside her: "You are quite good to your servants."
No one else would give up their carriage to a servant.
Qinglie's masculine aura hit her, and although it was not her first close contact, she still tensed her body subconsciously.
Seeing her nervous look, Bailiyou curled his lips and stared straight at her: "Yan'er, there are only you and me here, you don't have to be like this."
Mu Qingyan thought that it was just because of this that it was more terrifying, okay?
She put on a smile, but she felt it was very hypocritical.
Bailiyou kindly let her go and didn't dwell on the matter. He glanced at her bun and dress and praised, "You look very good today."
This is how a favored daughter-in-law should look, proud yet elegant.
Would he think that he was dressed like this just to see him? This thought came to Mu Qingyan's mind, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was indeed the case...
"It's Fenxiang's craftsmanship," she said softly.
Bailiyou nodded, he remembered that girl was her personal maid.
Thinking of Qingya, he asked one more question: "How are you as a person? Are you loyal to you?" The girl looked at Ji Ling, but she had no specific contact with her, so she didn't know much about her.
"Very good." Two words that were concise and concise. Fenxiang was the girl in Grandpa's courtyard, so naturally she was not much different.
In this way, Bailiyou felt relieved, "Why don't you see your new maids and secret guards? Why don't they stay by your side?"
Mu Qingyan's face did not change and she answered very calmly: "They sometimes do things for their father, so they didn't follow."
She wouldn't say one more word, after all, the person in front of her was not easy to fool.
Fortunately, Bailiyou didn't think too much, but took out a box from the cabinet behind him, and then took out a small table and placed it in front of her.
When she looked at the steaming porridge that was put on the table, Mu Qingyan's eyes widened. When she saw the complete squirrel mandarin fish on the table, she was stunned.
Bailiyou placed the dishes and chopsticks, pushed them in front of her, and smiled softly when he met her shocked eyes, "I thought you might not have time to eat, so I asked the small kitchen to prepare it for you, but not much, just these,
But I can eat enough.”
It's not good to prepare too much and let it get cold, so he only chose one hot dish that she liked. The porridge was also fish porridge.
Looking at the porridge in front of her, still exuding the slightest fragrance, Mu Qingyan raised her eyes and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The man frowned, and she immediately changed her words and said, "Thank you."
Bailiyou's expression improved, but the next moment he heard the girl's hesitant words: "But I had already drank a bowl when I left."
So she was not hungry now. Suddenly, Mu Qingyan raised her eyes and looked at him and asked tentatively: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Bailiyou: "..." Why did I suddenly feel some pain in my face?
Seeing that he didn't refute, Mu Qingyan was a little surprised, so was he actually waiting for her?
"Fennel was afraid that I would be hungry, so I ordered the kitchen to prepare it in advance."
When Mu Qingyan heard the words, he squeezed them out word by word, "Really?"
She nodded sincerely.
Bailiyou's face turned completely dark, and he felt helpless looking into the girl's innocent eyes. Just when he reached out to take it, Mu Qingyan suddenly changed his mind and stopped him, "But it doesn't hurt to eat more. It's inevitable that the journey will be long.
Hungry."
His eyes lit up, he withdrew his hand and looked at her quietly.
Well, Mu Qingyan actually couldn't bear to see him disappointed, it would be embarrassing to tell him.
However...this portion is a bit too much.
She felt troubled when she looked at the fish porridge in front of them. She had already used a bowl to satisfy her hunger.
"What's wrong? You don't like it?" Bailiyou asked. He remembered that she liked to eat fish, so she shouldn't dislike fish porridge, so why didn't she use her chopsticks for a long time?
Mu Qingyan shook her head and whispered: "It's too much."
She was embarrassed after saying it, but it was really too much. She couldn't eat so much in the morning, and besides, she would have to ride in a carriage soon, which was uncomfortable.
The carriage was still walking leisurely, and the atmosphere between the two people in the carriage was a little awkward for a while, as they stared at the porridge with big eyes and small eyes.
After a while, Baili You sighed softly after being defeated, then took the bowl of porridge in front of her and divided half of it into his own bowl under her surprised gaze.
His is a medium-sized bowl, while hers is smaller.
He put the rest in front of her again and pushed the mandarin fish forward, "Then you eat this."
A small bowl of porridge plus vegetables should be enough.
Mu Qingyan's face turned red when she realized the reaction, and she looked at him with wide eyes, "Why..." How could you be like this?
Her eyes unconsciously fell on the porridge in front of him. In this case, wouldn't it be considered as eating the same porridge with him?
At this moment, she only had this thought in her mind.
Bailiyou didn't find anything strange at all, but he scooped up the drink very naturally. Seeing this scene, Mu Qingyan felt a little strange, and suddenly she remembered that he had touched the dishes in front of her on her cousin's birthday. Thinking back now...
Couldn’t the real purpose be her leftovers?!!
"Why are you standing there in a daze?" Bailiyou frowned and looked at her. It's not good to be cold.
Mu Qingyan shook her head, resigned herself to sitting upright, and drank in small sips. It tasted pretty good.
Seeing this, Bailiyou curled his lips slightly, and she happened to see it. He had no choice but to lower his head and drink the porridge without daring to look around.
Although this is not the first time we have had dinner at the same table, it is the first time the two of them have been alone...
The car instantly became much quieter. Bailiyou knew that she was not used to it, so he didn't say anything. The two of them concentrated on eating, only giving her a piece of mandarin fish with chopsticks from time to time.
At first, Mu Qingyan was a little resistant and had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat it. Later, she gave up and refused to accept anyone who came.
I can’t refuse it anyway, so I might as well enjoy it.
In the end, although she only ate half of the bowl of porridge, most of the squirrel and mandarin fish went into her stomach.
Bailiyou kept feeding her as if he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to feed her enough.
As a result, what I only planned to try ended up being overdue.
Two bowls of porridge and one dish were all eaten by the two of them. Bailiyou even handed her a brocade handkerchief very considerately, and the latter silently retracted his hand on his waist, took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
However, when she saw Bailiyou starting to clean up, she suddenly panicked and said quickly: "I'll do it."
How could he be allowed to do it himself!
Bailiyou stopped her with one look and started to clean up the mess.
Mu Qingyan's expression on the side was indescribable, and she couldn't even believe her eyes.
She was sure that this would never be something Bailiyou could do...but this vivid scene was really hard to accept.
After putting the dishes and chopsticks away, Bailiyou wiped his hands, raised his eyes and looked at her quietly, and asked, "Surprised?"
The girl nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Ha." He chuckled, then suddenly rubbed her head and said, "This is unique to you."
Others don't get this treatment.
What's unique to her? Mu Qingyan's mood is a bit complicated. Bailiyou is so good to her that she can't believe it. Although her father and brother dote on her, they are her closest family members.
But Bailiyou is the prince of a country, and he will be the emperor in the future.
Somewhat incredible.
Why do I feel that Bailiyou has changed a lot after his rebirth? He is far different from his previous life, and he treats her better. Is it because she hates Bailiqi?
Mu Qingyan was puzzled.
The sound of the wheels suddenly became louder. She opened the curtain and looked back. There were several more carriages. Following them were her brother and Sister Rou.
Bailiyou explained: "They are all going for an outing. They recognize the logo on the carriage, so naturally they dare not go ahead of us."
This is true, who dares to walk in front of His Royal Highness?
Wait, didn't they see her sticking her head out just now?
Mu Qingyan lowered the car curtain and sat back down, but the man next to her chuckled. She looked over, and Bailiyou said jokingly, "Are you scared now? I'm afraid you were discovered when you looked out just now.
Already."
Suddenly, Mu Qingyan's face dropped, and her eyebrows were so furrowed that they were knotted.
"It's too late to regret it now." Bailiyou put his hands on both sides of her body and looked down at her with a smile.
Instinct told Mu Qingyan that she should stay away from this man now, so she retreated silently.
Bailiyou raised his eyebrows and didn't care. No matter how big the carriage was, there was only so much room. He said quietly: "No matter how much I run, you will still be here."
Mu Qingyan laughed dryly, thinking that it would be better than not having close contact with him.
This man is so oppressive.
She has always ignored one thing. No matter how good he is to her, Bailiyou will always be the prince, not a nobody.
Now Bailiyou was in a good mood. He rarely continued to tease her. Instead, he took out a book from the bookcase and looked at her, "Want one?"
"Okay." She noticed this small bookcase when she got in the car. There were only about twenty books, but it was enough for the two of them to read.
It takes three or four hours to get to Linggu Temple, and I'm afraid it's already past noon by then. We've just started, and we'll be suffocated if we don't find something to do.
