Qingwan sat in the palace's carriage for a while and suddenly stopped. She opened the curtain and saw a vaguely familiar carriage in front of her blocking the intersection not far from the palace, blocking their way.
Just as she was about to send the coachman away to ask about the situation, she saw a familiar face peeking out of the carriage. He looked at her with a smile and said, "Miss Qingwan."
"Your Majesty?" Qingwan looked at the other party in confusion and said, "Didn't His Majesty already leave first?"
Then Mu Liuting got out of the car and said, "Even if I invited Miss Qingwan here, I should personally send Miss Qingwan back. How can I leave the girl alone?"
Knowing that the other party was worried that she would not be able to explain herself when she returned so late, she stopped here to wait for her, and she couldn't help but feel a little grateful to the other party. This person is not as unbearable as the rumors outside, but is actually a careful person.
Ruchen nodded politely at the other party, and Qingwan said: "If you have the princess to see you off, I won't bother the prince."
Mu Liuting, who was always cynical, smiled and joked: "Miss Qingwan, there is no need to be polite to me. Didn't you agree to paint for me for free? I have to show some expression, otherwise, wouldn't it be like taking advantage of me?"
Miss Qingwan, are you getting a bargain?"
Qing Wan raised her eyebrows and said without thinking: "Is the prince worried that Qing Wan will regret it?"
Mu Liuting smiled and said, "I know the girl is not that kind of person."
Qing Wan's voice sounded in a medium tone, with a slightly deliberately unfamiliar tone: "Then please come back, Your Majesty! Your Majesty has a noble status, but Qing Wan is just a businessman's daughter after all.
If people see the Crown Prince walking with Qing Wan, please don’t bring any inconvenient rumors to the Crown Prince.”
Mu Liuting smiled helplessly and said, "Miss Qingwan is worried that my reputation will have a negative impact on her, right?"
Qing Wan did not rush to deny it, but replied calmly: "Qing Wan's second sister really wants to get to know the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince. Qing Wan has already told her that the Crown Prince and I just met by chance."
Although it was only a short two or three sentences, Mu Liuting was such a smart person that he naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words. He couldn't help but smile and said: "In that case, I'll find someone else someday."
Let’s use another way to thank the girl.” After thinking for a while, he took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the other party, saying: “If anyone causes trouble for the girl because of this, the girl might as well ask someone to bring this to Prince Chengjun’s Mansion. I will do it myself.”
We should find a way to rescue the girl."
Qingwan took the jade pendant, looked it over, raised her eyebrows at Mu Liuting and said, "If it's something else, can I use this jade pendant to ask the prince for help?"
Mu Liuting didn't expect her to say that. He was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Of course it's okay."
"Then Qing Wan would like to express my gratitude to the prince in advance." After hearing the other party's words, Qing Wan put the jade pendant into her arms without any courtesy.
She is not a hypocritical person, even if it is such a useful thing, she has no reason not to accept it.
Besides, this thing wasn't for nothing, she agreed to paint pictures for him and... make incense.
In exchange for saving his life in exchange for a jade pendant, he would not suffer any loss from this transaction.
Mu Liuting originally thought that she would at least refuse, but when he saw her reaction like this, he was a little surprised, and then he was relieved after thinking about it again.
From the moment you get to know the other person, what is the one thing the other person does that is not unexpected?
Such a reaction seems like something she would have.
