For a long time, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet. The woman stood up awkwardly, patted the non-existent dust on her clothes, and stammered:
"Um, girl, here...the chickens at home haven't been fed yet. Just be fine. Just be fine. Auntie is leaving first..."
As she spoke, she did not forget to glance at Jun Muxi, fearing that he would be furious because of what she just said.
"Wait a minute."
As soon as Ci Shen's voice sounded, the woman immediately fell to the ground with a "pop" sound.
"Your Majesty, it's the people's women who are talking nonsense. Your Excellency, you don't remember the faults of others. Please spare the people's women this time. The people's women... the people's women kowtow to you!"
As she said this, she was about to bow down.
Jun Muxi took a step forward and lifted the woman up with one hand.
The woman was so flattered that she didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she could only look at Qiao Qingqing for help.
Qiao Qingqing felt that she was fine, so she got up and got out of bed.
Jun Muxi pursed her lips and said calmly, "Miss Qiao San stayed overnight at my king's house. Although she is engaged to me, she is not married yet after all."
The woman immediately understood.
She hurriedly echoed, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it was a commoner woman who took care of the third lady last night."
Qiao Qingqing knew that this aunt was not strict with her words.
It's not that she has a bad heart, it's just that she has a carefree personality and can't stand other people's lies, so Jun Muxi's beatings don't actually have much effect.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qingqing smiled and added:
"Aunt, the prince cares about me too much, so he is worried about my reputation. He invited aunt into the palace to cover up. If others ask, aunt must keep it secret!"
As she said this, she did not forget to move towards Jun Muxi's arms like a little bird.
I thought Jun Muxi would resist as usual, but unexpectedly he generously stretched out his arms, took Qiao Qingqing into his arms, and said seriously, "Auntie, don't worry, I will treat the third lady well."
Only then did the woman lose her guard.
She breathed a sigh of relief and finally showed a relieved smile.
"It turns out that the rumors outside are not credible. People in the village have been talking to me, saying that the third lady was divorced by the prince, and was used as a target to humiliate the prince. Last night, those soldiers were full of evil faces, and I thought my girl was being raped by the prince.
Beaten to death..."
Qiao Qingqing wanted to stop her, but this woman's mouth was like a barrage of firecrackers.
"How could my girl suffocate on almonds? I remember back then, I bought a dustpan of almonds from the market. After they were cooked, you took a bite of them, and they tasted delicious..."
The woman brought up old things again, and Qiao Qingqing clearly saw subtle thoughts rising between Jun Muxi's brows.
"Auntie!" Qiao Qingqing wanted to end this topic quickly, so she pretended to stamp her foot and said coyly, "Don't talk about the past, I'm so embarrassed..."
"Um...Okay, okay, don't tell me, don't tell me," the woman looked at the two of them, and waved her hand, "My girl is thin-skinned!"
As she said this, she glanced at Qiao Qingqing and smiled, "As you said, I'll go out for a walk first. Call me when you get home. Auntie, I have the strictest mouth!"
With that look, he seemed to be treating himself as a guard covering her secret meeting with Jun Muxi.
Her aunt hummed a little tune and disappeared into the corridor of the concierge. Only then did Qiao Qingqing turn around and meet Jun Muxi's gaze.
"Well... people change. I don't know why I am allergic to almonds..."
Jun Muxi nodded uncharacteristically, "Well, are you feeling better? Shall I take you home?"
This kind of harmony is the first time since Qiao Qingqing came here!
Qiao Qingqing was so flattered that she raised her face and grinned, "Okay! Then you can send me back..."
When I left the house, it was already dusk.
Because the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, the night market has been particularly lively in recent days. Qiao Qingqing and Jun Muxi walked side by side, and their aunt walked behind them, with a smile on her face.
"Hey," Qiao Qingqing bumped Jun Muxi with her shoulder and whispered, "What would you like me to call you? Prince? Uncle? Or brother Xi?"
Jun Muxi held his big palm in vain, put it to his lips, coughed lightly, and said, "The last one is very good."
"Brother Xi?"
Qiao Qingqing tilted her head, and her eyes suddenly narrowed into a crescent shape.
Jun Muxi avoided her gaze and turned his head to one side.
"Brother Xi, why don't you just think about it and try to get along with me. What if you like me too?"
Qiao Qingqing strikes while the iron is hot.
"okay."
This time, Jun Muxi agreed very simply.
Qiao Qingqing, who had long been accustomed to his rejection, suddenly stopped in her tracks!
She opened her mouth and said in disbelief, "You...what did you just say?"
Jun Muxi also paused.
The girl behind him asked with unspeakable expectations. He curled his lips without leaving any trace, and said awkwardly from his throat, "I say, okay."
Is the relationship confirmed? Is she officially starting to fall in love?
Woohoo~
Qiao Qingqing stepped forward, ducked in front of Jun Muxi, and widened her eyes.
When their eyes met, Qiao Qingqing felt a throbbing along her heart, slowly turning into a thin layer of mist, covering her sight.
She blinked her eyes hard, and a drop of clear tears came out of the end of her eyes. In a daze, she felt that her frivolous and unruly face was also blushing.
Look, it looks a bit better than usual.
Jun Muxi was about to pass over the girl in front of him and escape from this situation that made his heart beat like a drum, when he saw the person in front of him raised his hand and grabbed the big man who was passing by in a hurry!
She pointed at Jun Muxi and asked the big man, "Uncle, is he good-looking?"
The uncle echoed without knowing why, "It looks good, it looks good..."
Jun Muxi froze on the spot for a moment.
But the girl in front of her seemed to be addicted to playing. She let go of the big man, picked up the child next to her, and asked again, "Children, is this brother good-looking?"
The child held the candy man, nodded with a runny nose, and responded with a crisp, "It looks good!"
"Does it look good? Doesn't it look good? Tell you, it's mine!"
She pointed her hand, put her index finger on the tip of her nose, and smiled proudly, "This is my person, mine!"
Jun Muxi looked at her excited expression and didn't know what to do for a moment.
But Qiao Qingqing was already obsessed with love.
She jumped across the crowd and ran towards Queqiao not far away, "Mom, I'm in love. I, Qiao Qingqing, have been single for twenty years, and I finally get rid of the title of single!"
She spoke words that no one could understand, attracting countless eyebrows.
The system finally couldn’t listen anymore, so I kindly reminded you:
[When things go awry, there must be a monster, so don’t get too happy too soon.]
Qiao Qingqing ignored it.
She waved her hands and smiled wantonly:
"Whatever, if you love right, it's love; if you love wrong, it's youth!"
Qiao Qingqing was immersed in boundless joy until a delicate cry completely shattered the tenderness under the Queqiao Bridge:
"Third sister, why are you here?"
The speaker is none other than Qiao Xiaoxiao.
Qiao Qingqing turned around subconsciously and saw a group of people coming from the other side of Queqiao Bridge.
Isn't the man with a gloomy face at the head the prince?
"shift!"
Qiao Qingqing cursed in a low voice, then turned around with lightning speed. Nuonuo hid behind Jun Muxi and whispered, "Brother Xi, save me..."
