It was two days' journey to Shanning Mansion, and when it got dark they arrived at the place where they would stay for the night.
The servants who had gone ahead had already made arrangements, and the officials at the inn who got the news came to pick him up in person.
Qi Yue rubbed her back and got out of the car, looking at the inn in front of her. This was the ancient government reception hotel, with high hanging lanterns, blue bricks and gray tiles, and a majestic atmosphere.
"Young Madam." Aru reminded her in a low voice.
Qi Yue came back to her senses and saw Chang Yuncheng walking towards the inner door, surrounded by four or five officials.
"Where's Miss Rao's family?" She looked back.
Rao Yufang had just gotten out of the car and bowed her head when she heard the question.
"Let's go." Qi Yue said with a smile.
Rao Yufang nodded and pulled down the hood of his hooded cloak, covering half of his face.
The clerk at the inn quietly looked at the two women who were supported by their servants.
What a beauty... As expected, the Hou family members are as beautiful as heavenly beings...
Qi Yue saw that everything was fresh. Most of the rooms here had lights on, and it looked like there were quite a few guests...
"Walk faster, what are you looking at!" Chang Yuncheng stood in front of her at some point.
Qi Yue frowned and looked up at him, and just about to retort, Chang Yuncheng raised his hand and grabbed the hat behind him and put it on his head, blocking his eyes for a moment.
"What are you doing!" Qi Yue said angrily, reaching out to pull his hat.
"It's so cold, bring it with you." Chang Yuncheng shouted in a low voice.
"Why is it so cold?" Qi Yue couldn't help but laugh or cry. Before she could finish her words, Chang Yuncheng took down her hand and dragged her forward.
"My wife is weak..." Chang Yuncheng could be heard explaining to the people around her.
The surrounding officials laughed and praised the prince for his compassion.
Why is he so kind-hearted? Qi Yue pouted and used his other hand to pull up some hats so that he couldn't even see them.
"Miss..." the girl following Rao Yufang reminded in a low voice.
Rao Yufang then raised her heels. Chang Yuncheng and Qi Yue in front of her were already separated by the crowd.
"This is the young lady of the Rao family. Please make arrangements."
Chang Yuncheng's voice came from ahead again.
The Rao family? The officials were stunned. The only one who could be directly called the Rao family and had something to do with the Dingxi Marquis Mansion was naturally the Rao family in Shandong!
The officials who thought he was accompanied by a charming wife and concubine suddenly realized that several of them came to see her in person.
A smile appeared on Rao Yufang's face hidden under her hat, and she returned the gifts one by one. When she looked up again, Chang Yuncheng and Qi Yue had already entered the room.
Her steps hesitated for a moment.
"Miss Rao, please come this way." An official said diligently to guide the way.
It's in the opposite direction to Chang Yuncheng's house.
Rao Yufang lowered her head and walked lightly. After a simple wash, dinner was served.
At this time, the local officials would definitely entertain Chang Yuncheng, who must have gone out to eat.
"Mother Gui, do you still have the jar of meat that our family brought?" Rao Yufang asked.
The woman who was watching the girls tidy up their own bedding hurriedly came over.
"Also, I know the lady likes to eat this, so in addition to leaving it with my aunt, I also left a small jar." The woman said with a smile.
"Take it out." Rao Yufang said, "Let the young lady have a taste."
The woman was stunned for a moment, then understood and nodded with a smile.
"Baojuan, come here and help the lady comb her hair." She called hurriedly.
A little girl came over in a hurry.
Rao Yufang sat in front of the mirror, carefully applying powder on her eyebrows...
That young lady is a beauty, no matter how much makeup she puts on, she can't compare to her...
It's better not to dress up...
Rao Yufang carefully wiped off her makeup.
When the people came to Chang Yuncheng's side, because they all recognized him, the guards didn't stop him.
"Miss Rao?" The girls and servants standing outside the door were all surprised.
"Young Madam, you are having a meal. I am also alone, so come here to accompany her." Rao Yufang said with a smile to the servants who came.
The servants laughed.
"Thank you, miss..." One of the fat women said with a smile, "It's just that our prince is here too. Look at this..."
Rao Yufang was stunned.
Is the prince also here? Why didn’t you go to the banquet?
If the prince is here, it will be inconvenient for her, a girl who has not yet left the palace, to go in...
only…
Rao Yufang turned around hesitantly.
Is it better if he is here?
"This is a jar of meat made by my mother. My aunt also loves it, so I want the prince and the young lady to try it." Rao Yufang turned around and took the small jar from the hand of the maid behind her, then turned around again and said to her.
The servant girl smiled and said, "Mom, please send it in if you have any problem."
"Meat?"
Qi Yue stopped her chopsticks and asked, looking at the jar in the servant's hand.
"Yes, our wife made it herself, and the young lady ate it so cutely." The little girl said with a smile.
Chang Yuncheng was eating with his head down and didn't seem to hear all this.
"Thank you so much." Qi Yue gestured to take it and said with a smile, "Has your lady eaten?"
"Not yet, I'm outside." The little girl replied hurriedly.
What about outside?
"Then come in and eat together." Qi Yue said with a smile.
A'ru, who was serving dishes at the side, coughed, but it was still a step too late. The little girl turned around and left.
Not long after, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Miss Rao is here," a servant woman said.
Aru's face changed slightly. Why was this Miss Rao so rude? She actually came in.
She couldn't help but look at Chang Yuncheng.
Chang Yuncheng also seemed a little surprised and frowned.
Rao Yufang walked in, not wearing a cloak even indoors, only wearing a simple skirt and jacket.
"Your Majesty, Madam." She bowed her head and saluted.
Chang Yuncheng hummed, and Qi Yue smiled and waved to her to sit down.
"I thought the prince went out to eat and the young lady was alone, so..." She sat down and said with a little uneasiness.
"Yes, yes, I thought..." Qi Yue smiled smoothly.
Before he finished speaking, Chang Yuncheng kicked him under the table.
Qi Yue turned to glare at him.
Chang Yuncheng stood up without looking at her.
"You guys can eat." He said, and Shi Shiran walked out.
Finally feeling at ease, Qi Yue happily picked up the chopsticks.
"Eat quickly, the food here is really good." She said, greeting Rao Yufang.
Rao Yufang watched Chang Yuncheng stand up, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.
"I... disturbed the prince's meal... I'd better go back and eat..." She stood up with an apologetic look on her face.
"Oh, he's finished eating." Qi Yue said with a smile, "Sit down quickly, what's the point of eating alone."
Chang Yuncheng, who was walking out the door, paused when he heard these words.
This stinky woman, he thought she didn’t know!
It's not fun to eat alone, so I stayed with her specially...
When I got to the dinner table, I looked at her disgusting face, as if I was deliberately disgusting her...
Chang Yuncheng pursed his lips and strode out.
What made Ah Ru feel relieved was that Rao Yufang didn't go too far and simply ate his meal and left in a hurry.
"Young Madam, this young lady from the Rao family looks a bit...inauthentic." She whispered to Qi Yue while helping her remove the hairpin ring.
Qi Yue rubbed her sore shoulders from the bumpy day and smiled.
"We all have a love for beauty." She said, "Let alone a little girl, even someone my age can't help but look at her twice. What's more, she rarely has the chance to go out.
It’s so easy to get a chance to look good and it’s understandable that you’ll lose your composure.”
Aru didn't understand a word.
"What can be understood?" Chang Yuncheng stepped in and asked.
Ah Ru hurriedly bowed and stepped back.
"Look at the handsome guy being tempted." Qi Yue said with a smile, turning her head from the mirror and winking at him.
The night light is dim and the bronze mirror is shining brightly, making the woman in front of the mirror even more beautiful.
Chang Yuncheng looked away unnaturally and sat down, not hearing what Qi Yue said at all.
"Hey, it's getting late." Qi Yue came over and said.
Chang Yuncheng looked up at her.
"You don't just want one room, right?" Qi Yue looked at his expression and asked with a frown.
Chang Yuncheng smiled.
This stupid woman...
"Do you think it's appropriate for me to have two rooms?" he asked.
The couple actually live in separate rooms when they go out. This is not at home, but outside, at the inn...
Qi Yue suddenly thought of it.
You want to save face, but you are also afraid of being embarrassed. Aren't you afraid of nothing?
She curled her lips and motioned for Ah Xi to go ahead.
"You are tired too. Go to bed early. We have to go on a journey tomorrow morning," she said.
Aru nodded.
"Your Majesty is kind, please don't provoke him on purpose." She helped Qi Yue shake her long hair, walked closer and whispered.
Qi Yue looked at her like you doubt me again.
Aru took the girls and retreated.
The room became quiet.
"Change clothes." Chang Yuncheng said, spreading his hands.
"You are so beautiful." Qi Yue hummed, "I don't have long hands."
Chang Yuncheng darkened his face and stretched out his hand.
Qi Yue ignored him and looked at the house with a frown. Fortunately, in ancient times, it was the custom for servants to keep watch at night, and there were small beds for servants to sleep in the house.
"I'll sleep over here and you..." she pointed to the bed and turned around.
When he turned around, he was startled.
Chang Yuncheng had only his pants left.
"You, you, you... there are still people in the house, you... why are you taking off your clothes?" Qi Yue said with a frown, turning her head.
Chang Yuncheng walked unsteadily in front of her, took out his underwear, and put it on slowly.
It's really strange, this woman is shy, but at the same time she is also a little cheerful, which makes people feel fun and...comfortable.
"Exhibitionist." Qi Yue muttered, hugging his clothes and putting them on the bed, ready to put down the curtain and change clothes.
Chang Yuncheng sat over.
"Hey, I'm sleeping on the bed. You're a man, can you be a little more elegant?" Qi Yue said, hurriedly reaching out to push his shoulder, "Get up quickly."
When she pushed hard, Chang Yuncheng happened to lie down on the bed, and she couldn't help but fall over.
Qi Yue was startled, and hurriedly pulled the curtain with her other hand to use her strength, but she pulled the curtain down instead.
The woman suddenly pounced on him, and Chang Yuncheng was also startled. The curtain blocked the light in the room, and his vision went dark.
"Who asked you to lie down..." Qi Yue muttered, stretching out her hands to support her and trying to get up. Before she could get up, a pair of big hands hugged her around the waist.
This time it was much more frightening than the fall just now.
Qi Yue screamed and leaned in front of Chang Yuncheng.
"Calm down!" She couldn't help shouting and tried to break away, "You must calm down and stop thinking..."
With these words, Chang Yuncheng turned over and pressed her under him.
Qi Yue felt dizzy and suffocated in her chest. Before she could react, he kissed her lips with a passionate breath.
Damn it!
Qi Yue's head exploded with a bang!
If I had known, something would happen if a man and a woman were alone in a room!***(To be continued)
