Although Xiao Mubai said it simply, it still took a lot of trouble to arrange this matter.
Chen Rongrong has always been cautious, otherwise Li Fei would not trust her to handle the matters that year. If she hadn't been concerned about Si Nan, and this became a breakthrough point, she might not have been able to deliberately get close to her.
Even so, getting close is only the first step, and it is still unclear whether we can dig out some surprises from her.
"Tomorrow is the day when Xian Li goes to Tianyan Temple to offer incense." Xiao Mubai ordered some tea with his fingertips, drew a path on the table at random like splashing ink, and pointed to a must-pass intersection in the middle: "My People say that Chen Rongrong plans to wait here."
When Xia Chu was officially canonized as the Crown Princess in her previous life, she went to Tianyan Temple to receive the ceremony. Regarding the sketch drawn by Xiao Mubai, she also had a rough idea in mind: "Then I will go and take a look at Chen Rongrong tomorrow morning."
Xiao Mubai nodded, and couldn't help but give a warning: "Just take a look, don't alert the snake."
Xia Chu joked, "When did you become so verbose?"
Xiao Mubai pretended to be angry and stood up: "Now you start to dislike me. I will return home right now."
Xia Chu saw that he was seriously turning around to open the door and was about to leave, so she quickly grabbed his hand behind his back and said, "Why are you so serious about getting angry?"
Xiao Mubai stopped and said nothing. Xia Chu stepped forward and tugged on his sleeves and called softly: "Mubai..."
Xiao Mubai sighed and turned to look at her hand on his sleeve: "If you call me twice, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."
Xia Chu saw a trace of cunning hidden on his face, and immediately reacted and threw off his sleeves: "You're teasing me again."
Xiao Mubai grabbed the hand she threw away: "How can I get angry with you? But I have to go to court tomorrow, not to mention that since you have to get up early to go to Tianyan Temple, it's just that I don't have a good rest, so what? You won’t be able to sleep well even if it’s tiring you.”
Xia Chu knew that the situation in the court was bound to undergo earth-shaking changes in the past few days. Although they had planned everything, they needed to be sure that nothing went wrong and they needed to be vigilant at all times to avoid anything going wrong and ruining the entire layout.
These days, Xiao Mubai would probably go to the morning court to watch in person before he could feel at ease.
"I'm leaving." Seeing that the sullen look on her face disappeared, Xiao Mubai placed a kiss on the back of her hand.
Xia Chu blushed and said "Hmm". She watched him walk out of the room and suddenly asked, "Do you want the recipe for sleeping soup?"
Xiao Mubai paused as he walked towards the entrance of the courtyard. He turned to look at Xia Chu who was leaning on the door and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this recipe based on you?"
Xia Chu's originally red face turned even hotter. She closed the door with a bang and heard a message from inside the room: "Don't pull her down."
Xiao Mubai's lips curved into a smile, and Han Sa, who was guarding outside the courtyard, came up to him. Seeing this scene, he stood behind him and shook his head.
Now he can smile calmly even when being criticized. It seems that his master is really eaten to death by the young master.
He was sighing in his heart when he was suddenly hit by Xiao Mubai who turned around. The bruise on his forehead from being beaten by a raven in the afternoon was now even more painful and he was grinning.
With tears in Han Sa's eyes, she asked aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, what did this subordinate do wrong?"
Xiao Mubai glanced at him from the corner of his eye, clasped his hands behind his back, his face returned to its usual cold and arrogant look, and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard and said, "Is it your turn to shake your head and sigh behind my back?"
Han Sa's face was startled, and he covered his forehead and followed: "Your Majesty... do you have eyes in your back?"
Xiao Mubai sneered: "Such a big head is shaking its head when it is reflected on the ground. I am not blind."
Han Sa glanced at the shadow cast on the ground under the moon and hissed: "Your Majesty, the subordinate shook his head because there was a mosquito in his ear just now..."
"Hey, Your Majesty, it's really..."
"My lord, my lord, don't believe it..."
Xia Chu didn't know if Xiao Mubai had insomnia after he returned, but he lay on the bed tossing and turning for a long time, and his long hair and narrow eyes always appeared in his mind, with intoxicating affection, and his voice was low and drunk. As the saying goes, 'Two trees are not a forest, there is a heart in the field. '
The more he thought about it, the more he became overwhelmed and unable to sleep. Finally, he got up angrily and went to the small kitchen to cook a bowl of sleeping soup and drink it. When Xia Chu returned to the room and lay down, after the medicine took effect, he fell asleep, but couldn't get up...
When he opened his eyes, he saw the scorching sun chasing his bed. He stood upright from the bed. He called Mo Xiang in and asked, "What time is it?"
Mo Xiang bowed: "Young Master, I've hit the mark."
"Yuzhong..." Xia Chu wailed and lay down straight, covering his face with his hands.
Seeing this, Mo Xiang asked tentatively: "Master, do you want to wash up? It's almost lunch time."
Xia Chu whimpered and said "Hmm", and Mo Xiang silently retreated to prepare.
Xia Chu slowly moved his hands down, opened his eyes and looked dullly at the high hanging beams.
Only now do we know why beauty can cause trouble, and beauty who can talk about love is even more harmful...
As soon as he thought of this, the words of love seemed to ring in his ears again, and that cold and handsome face seemed to appear in front of his eyes again. He pinched his eyebrows and shook his head. When he opened his eyes again, he found that Mo Xiang had already filled the water and brought it in.
Xia Chu lamented, he actually didn't even notice when Mo Xiang came in...
He glanced at Mo Xiang with a complicated expression. Mo Xiang felt that Xia Chu was weird today. Seeing him staring at her in a daze, she couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Young Master?"
Xia Chu waved to her, and Mo Xiang had no choice but to bow, and retreated with a suspicious look on his face.
He stood up, picked up a handful of water and patted his face for a long time. Only then did he feel that he had regained some clarity. When he finished washing and went out, Mo Xiang said to him again: "The Marquis just sent someone to call him. Waiting for you to eat alone."
Xia Chu said "Hmm" and went directly to Hengwu Courtyard. When he entered the hall, he discovered that besides Xu Wenlan and Lan Yuying, Su Qianle was also there.
When Su Qianle saw him looking at her, she hurriedly stood up and bowed: "I gave the Marquis some homemade snacks, so the Marquis asked me to come down and have a meal with him."
"You don't need so many etiquettes. In the past, it was because of your condition that it was inconvenient. Now if you have nothing to do, you can come over and have a meal together." Xia Chu gave her a hand.
However, Su Qianle stood up when he reached out, responded with a sweet smile, returned to the table and sat down.
Xia Chu's outstretched hand was a little stiff, which showed that her eyes were smiling and her heart was relieved. It was naturally the best for Su Qianle to figure it out so quickly.
"What are you doing standing still? Sit down quickly." Seeing him standing stupidly, the Marquis called to him.
Xia Chu looked at Xu Wenlan and Lan Yuying who were sitting together, and after thinking about it, he walked over to Su Qianle and sat down...
