She is elegant and polite, and is one of the few noble ladies in Beijing who makes people feel comfortable both physically and mentally just by looking at her!

"Mother was going to come with me today, but grandpa passed away not long ago, and mother was in mourning, so it was inconvenient for her to come. So she sent me here to thank Madam Chu for coming to pay her respects that day!" Madam Wen Er spoke with a smile, and when she mentioned Grand Tutor Wen, a trace of sadness could not help but appear in her eyes, which made people feel sad too!

"The deceased is gone, madam, please take care of yourself and don't be too sad!" Yun Qianmeng led Madam Wen Er to sit down, and the maids quickly served hot tea and snacks, and then retreated silently!

Hearing Yun Qianmeng's words of comfort, Madam Wen smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Madam Chu!"

"With such a gentle mother like the Second Madam, I'm sure the Second Madam's sons and daughters must be well-educated and filial to their parents!" At this time, Xie's eyes fell on the Second Madam Wen and spoke with a smile!

"Second Madam, you are joking! My son is naughty, and my daughter is also mischievous! They are not comparable to Miss Chu and the two Miss Xie from Second Madam's family! I guess Miss Chu and Miss Xie had already been betrothed to others when they were in Youzhou!" Second Madam Wen shook her head and denied Xie's praise of her own children. There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but mixed in that doting look, she showed the image of a loving mother!

Seeing Madam Wen's expression, even the two sisters of the Xie family began to chuckle. Mrs. Xie's smile became even more affectionate as she said, "My Jie'er is also a naughty child! If she were as naughty as Meng'er, I wouldn't have anything to worry about! Wanwan and Yuanyuan are indeed obedient and well-behaved children, but their family backgrounds are not so good, so it's not easy for them to find a satisfactory husband!"

Madam Wen thought about the person she had seen when she entered Prime Minister Chu's residence, and then she asked, "Just now, I saw a young man in dark brocade clothes riding a horse at the entrance of the residence. I wonder if he is Madam Wen's son?"

Seeing Madam Wen mention Chu Qingyang, Xie's eyes couldn't help but show a mother's pride and love. She nodded immediately and said, "Excuse me, Madam, for making fun of you. It's my son! Compared to his elder brother, Qingyang is far behind. He's neither good at literature nor martial arts. It really frustrates me! If he can be even one-tenth as good as Feiyang, I'll be so lucky!"

These words were a bit exaggerated, and with a hint of joking, they made Madam Wen laugh too. Recalling Chu Qingyang's appearance, she then praised him, "Madam, you are too modest. Prime Minister Chu is certainly a rare and outstanding prime minister, but the Second Young Master has a full forehead, and at first glance, he is a rare and ambitious man. His future is definitely limitless!"

Listening to Madam Wen's praise of her son, Xie was naturally happy in her heart, but she still maintained a faint smile on her face, which made people feel that she was not surprised by praise or criticism. Her words were also more humble. "Madam, you are too kind! We have heard in Youzhou that the Puguo Temple in Kyoto is very effective. We would like to take these children there to pay a visit! If Madam Wen doesn't mind, why don't we go together? We can take care of each other on the way and it won't be boring!"

After listening to what Xie said, Yun Qianmeng knew that Xie must be interested in making friends with the Wen family. It seems that the Wen family is favored now, but the real power is the Wen family's first wife. But from Xie's attitude and the chance encounter today, Xie seems to be very enthusiastic about the second wife, which makes people a little curious!

After all, if Chu Pei wanted to compete for the position of King of Chu, it would be of no use to win over the second wife who had no official position. Although Wen Di of the second wife was better than his brother in literary attainments, compared with Wen Xie, who was the Prince's Junior Tutor at the time, Wen Di did seem a little dull!

It is hard to understand what Xie is up to, or what Chu Pei is planning.

At this time, upon hearing Xie's invitation, Second Madam Wen did not respond immediately. Instead, she thought carefully before replying, "Thank you for your invitation, Madam. However, I still need to go back and discuss this with my mother. I'll give you a reply in a few days, okay?"

Seeing Madam Wen's answer, Xie naturally nodded in agreement. She then looked at Yun Qianmeng and said gently, "Meng'er, come along too! Pray to the Buddha and try to give birth to a chubby, fair boy for Prime Minister Chu this year!"

Everyone in the hall laughed at Xie's words. Yun Qianmeng blushed slightly as she said, "Second Mother is the best at making Meng'er happy! My husband is not at home these days, so I'd better stay here and wait for him to come back, so as not to neglect him!"

In just a few words, Yun Qianmeng turned down Xie's invitation. Xie must be unwilling to see her traveling with him!

"Mrs. Chu and Prime Minister Chu are truly in love, which is truly enviable!" Seeing that Yun Qianmeng did not try to squeeze into the crowd, Mrs. Wen Er's impression of her became even better, and her praise came from the heart!

They chatted for a few more sentences, and seeing that the sky outside was gradually getting darker, Madam Wen stood up to say goodbye, while Mrs. Xie acted like a mother-in-law and forced Yun Qianmeng to get on the carriage of Prince Chu's Mansion!

At this time, everything in the palace had been prepared for the evening. When Yun Qianmeng and the others arrived, King Chu was already sitting at the dining table waiting, but Chu Pei, Chu Qingyang and Chu Jie were not there!

"Girl, come and sit down!" Seeing his favorite granddaughter-in-law, Chu Nanshan's face, which had been gloomy for many days, finally showed a smile. He waved and asked Yun Qianmeng to sit on his left!

"Greetings, Grandpa!" Yun Qianmeng quickly walked up to King Chu, bowed, and then sat down!

"Jie'er is not feeling well, so my daughter-in-law asked the maids to bring the food to her room to prevent her from catching a cold from walking back and forth!" Mrs. Xie nodded to the maid beside her, and then saw several maids coming in with hot dishes, and then carefully placed the hot dishes and hot soup in their hands on the table!

Chu Nanshan looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table in front of him, but he didn't have much of an appetite. He turned to Yun Qianmeng with a pitiful look and begged, "Girl, Feiyang is not in Kyoto right now. Tomorrow, can you make the ginseng chicken soup that kid ate last time for Grandpa? If it tastes good, Grandpa will give you a treasure!"

Seeing Chu Nanshan talking so weirdly, Yun Qianmeng instinctively wanted to laugh. For a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, the King of Chu was actually giving her his treasure. This was truly the behavior of a child!

However, seeing that he still remembered the ginseng chicken soup after such a long time, Yun Qianmeng felt a little distressed, so she smiled and nodded!

At this time, Xie was sitting down. Seeing Yun Qianmeng nod, she also smiled and said, "The prince really loves Meng'er!"

There was something hidden in his words, but there was nothing to find fault with them. No matter how magnanimous Xie was, seeing that the King of Chu treated his grandson's wife better than his grandsons and granddaughters, Xie must have felt a little uncomfortable in her heart!

The meal was extremely quiet. Even Chu Nanshan, who always talked non-stop in front of Yun Qianmeng, didn't utter a single word during the meal. After dinner, Xie ordered the maids to clear the leftovers from the table. She smiled faintly and was about to speak, but Chu Nanshan interrupted her, "Meng'er, it's getting late. You should go back early and don't tire yourself out! Although all the people from Northern Qi have left Kyoto, Feiyang is not at home. You should be more careful when you are at home and try to receive fewer guests to avoid any mistakes!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qianmeng subconsciously glanced at Xie out of the corner of her eye, only to find that she was sitting there with a normal expression, as if she hadn't heard Chu Nanshan's hidden meaning. The faint smile on her face always maintained the same arc. Such skill was truly astonishing!

"Yes, Grandpa! I'll take my leave!" However, since the King of Chu had found a place for her, Yun Qianmeng naturally couldn't let his kindness go to waste. She bowed to the two elders in front of her, and then boarded the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion with the help of the maids!

"Miss!" The sky had already darkened. The heavy snow had just stopped. The inky black sky was dotted with a few scattered stars, which was quite beautiful. However, the snow outside had just begun to melt and the temperature was still low. Mu Chun admired the scenery outside for a while, and then lowered the car curtain because she felt it was too cold!

"What's the matter?" Yun Qianmeng saw the new store that Rong Yunhe and herself had just opened recently when the carriage passed by the long street. However, the Lantern Festival had not yet passed, and the people were still immersed in the joy of the New Year. All the shops closed early. Apart from the lit lanterns in each house, there were few pedestrians walking on the long street in this cold night!

"Miss, don't you think the Second Madam's smile is a little fake?" Seeing her young lady staring at the scenery on the long street, Mu Chun whispered what she felt in her heart. "Also, why did the master suddenly come to our house today? And he brought the Second Young Master with him! If it weren't for the Second Madam and the two Miss Xies, if this got out, it would definitely damage the young lady's reputation!"

Seeing Mu Chun defending her, Yun Qianmeng smiled and said calmly, "The purpose of their trip wasn't to see me! Didn't they see the Second Madam of the Wen family come to visit later? That was their goal!"

When Mu Chun heard this, he immediately became anxious and said anxiously, "Aren't we just being used as stepping stones for others?"

Seeing Mu Chun's anxious expression, Yun Qianmeng reached out and tapped her little head. This girl was just not calm enough sometimes. "That's why Grandpa scolded Second Mother on my behalf just now! Whatever she has in mind, she will restrain herself from now on!"

Moreover, judging from Xie's behavior in Prince Chu's Mansion just now, she looked like the mistress of a house. Although serving her father-in-law was a daughter-in-law's responsibility, her every move showed a hint of transgression. She didn't even wait for Prince Chu to ask Chu Jie to have her meal in the room, but made the decision on her own. No wonder Grandpa didn't say a word during the meal today!

Just now at the Prime Minister's Residence, Xie's move to invite Madam Wen was probably more than just to get closer. She deliberately let Madam Wen meet Chu Qingyang and mentioned their children's marriage. The meaning was self-evident. This made Yun Qianmeng a little confused about what they were thinking. After all, if Chu Qingyang or Chu Jie wanted to compete for the throne of King Chu, it would be most reliable to find a powerful relative. However, Xie always hid Chu Jie tightly so that no one could find her, but brought the Xie sisters to public occasions, which was also puzzling!

"Alas, if the Prime Minister could come back earlier, the young lady wouldn't have to face so many troubles!" Seeing Yun Qianmeng thinking seriously, Yingxia whispered in Muchun's ear!

"Yeah!" The other three girls nodded at the same time!

The night was endless, and the maids were asked to leave the inner room. After washing up, Yun Qianmeng lay down on the brocade quilt, but her arms were slightly open, and her palms were stroking the other side where Chu Feiyang was lying. The things lingering in her mind could not be let go, and it was not until the second half of the night that she reluctantly closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze!

At this moment, the tightly closed wooden window in the inner room was pried open by someone, and then a slender figure landed silently on the carpet in the inner room. The black figure tiptoed to close the wooden window, and then quickly approached the bed with very light steps. The slender white fingers slightly lifted the heavily dropped curtain, and looking at Yun Qianmeng who was still frowning after falling asleep inside, the black figure couldn't help but frown as well!

After removing his cloak and coat, the black shadow quickly took off his boots and dived into the fragrant quilt at the fastest speed in his life. When a small hand suddenly waved towards his cheek, he nimbly grasped it in his own hand, then exerted a little force and pulled Yun Qianmeng, who had opened her eyes and looked at him coldly, into his arms!

"Playing tricks!" He had never expected that his wife, upon seeing her long-lost husband, would not throw herself into his arms as he had envisioned. The reproachful words made Chu Feiyang lower his head in punishment. He gently rubbed Yun Qianmeng's delicate skin with the newly grown stubble on his chin, and asked with a hint of ferocity, "Do you miss me, huh?"

Feeling a stinging sensation on her cheek, Yun Qianmeng immediately raised her hand to push away the mischievous Chu Feiyang, but she found that his clinging skills were becoming more and more perfect. As long as he caught her palm, he would pout and kiss it twice. For a moment, Yun Qianmeng's cheeks hurt and her palms itched, but she was furious in her heart!

"Do you miss me, Meng'er!" Seeing Yun Qianmeng busy letting go of his attack, in the dim light, Chu Feiyang saw Yun Qianmeng's pink bellyband exposed to the air because of her struggle. The full bulge on her chest suddenly ignited a fire in his eyes. His body tensed up like never before. With an astonishing heat in his palm, he gently grabbed Yun Qianmeng's small hand waving in front of him and asked again in a hoarse voice!

Even in the darkness, Yun Qianmeng could still feel Chu Feiyang's burning gaze, his hoarse voice, and the scorching heat coming from his wrist. She raised her eyes and accurately found Chu Feiyang's eyes. She gently broke free from his palm and gently caressed the handsome face she hadn't seen for more than ten days. Until a tingling sensation came from her palm, Yun Qianmeng smiled heartlessly, "I thought you would always appear in front of everyone in a fresh outfit!"

Little did she know that her low laugh caused Chu Feiyang to raise his eyebrows slightly, a trace of desire flashing in his eyes. Without saying a word, he pulled her into his arms and sighed with satisfaction, "When marching and fighting, how can we have the time to pay attention to our appearance! Do you think that soldiers are like those scholars in Kyoto who only know how to talk nonsense, and regard their appearance as a part of their life? You heartless girl, it's a pity that I left Prince Chen and Hai Chenxi and rushed back at full speed, and now you start to make fun of your husband!"

Although his tone was filled with anger, the kiss he gave was unusually gentle. Yun Qianmeng raised her delicate face as he lowered his head, and offered her longing to him as he pressed down his lips!

The hibiscus tent was filled with a charming scene. The blushing moon hid in the clouds, and even the flickering stars seemed to have lost their original dazzling brilliance...

"Ah!" Early in the morning, Mu Chun walked into the inner room carrying a copper basin, and then quietly put the copper basin in his hand on the wooden rack, but found that there was a pair of men's boots on the young lady's bed. Mu Chun was so scared that his face turned pale as paper. He covered his mouth and pulled Yuan Dong who was following behind him, pointing at the boots with trembling hands, and tears gradually appeared in his eyes!

Yuan Dong was also stunned by the situation before him. What on earth had happened last night? With his martial arts skills, it was impossible for him not to discover the thief who sneaked into the young lady's room. Now that something like this had happened, what should he do?

The two pale-faced people's hearts trembled suddenly. They couldn't imagine the consequences of this matter being discovered. They could only move silently to the bedside. Yuan Dong even pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, intending to die without any evidence...

At this moment, a large hand gently lifted the heavy curtain, revealing Chu Feiyang's slightly angry face. His cold eyes stared at the two little girls who were slowly approaching the bed. His intimidating expression made the two girls break out in cold sweats. Looking at the face that suddenly appeared in front of them, it took them a long time to react. "Prime...Prime Minister..."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Feiyang made a gesture to keep quiet. Then he quietly got off the bed and whispered something in the two of them's ears!

When Yun Qianmeng woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She rubbed her eyes and was about to get up when she realized that her limbs were sore. She couldn't help but criticize Chu Feiyang in her heart, but she found that Chu Feiyang was no longer by her side!

"Miss, you're awake!" A small hand lifted the curtain, revealing Mu Chun's smiling face. Seeing that Yun Qianmeng looked very good, Mu Chun smiled even more like a cat stealing some fish!

"Where's the Prime Minister?" Yun Qianmeng stood up, holding his waist, glared at Mu Chun, put on his shoes and got off the bed!

"The Prime Minister has gone to the morning court! Before leaving, he instructed the maid to help the young lady bathe and change clothes, and said that he would come back to take the young lady to a place!" Mu Chun helped Yun Qianmeng walk behind the screen, then opened the lid of the cypress bathtub, and a puff of hot steam immediately came out!

Yun Qianmeng looked at the steaming hot water in front of her and nodded to Mu Chun. After she left, she undressed and stepped into the tub, soaking her aching body in the hot water with a medicinal scent. In her mind, she was wondering where he would take her in a while!

"When will you change your habit of not wanting to be served?" Little did she know that when she thought of this, Yun Qianmeng fell asleep in the bathtub. If Chu Feiyang had not come back in advance, Yun Qianmeng almost slipped to the bottom of the bathtub. With rare anger, Chu Feiyang reached out and pulled her out of the water, pulled the handkerchief on the screen to wrap her body, and glared at the person in his arms with anger in his eyes!

"Huh?" Yun Qianmeng woke up instantly, looking at her own embarrassment. She pushed Chu Feiyang away and dodged behind the screen. She quickly put on her clothes and walked out with her wet hair. She asked curiously, "Where are we going?"

It was obvious that Chu Feiyang was still angry. He held her shoulders and sat in front of the dressing table. He took a clean and soft handkerchief and carefully wiped the water stains on her hair. Then Mu Chun walked forward carefully and made a simple yet elegant bun for Yun Qianmeng!

After Yun Qianmeng finished tidying up, Chu Feiyang sat at the head of the bed reading a book without saying a word. The coldness on his face did not ease with the passage of time!

Yun Qianmeng sighed inwardly, resigned to her fate as she walked forward. Holding up the handsome face that had long since returned to its elegant and suave appearance, she smiled and said, "If you don't speak, I'll go to the palace as a guest! There's no place for me in this family anyway, so why bother being despised again!"

As she spoke, she really turned to leave, but before she took half a step, she was forcefully pulled into someone's arms. An awkward voice came from above her head, "You are not allowed to go anywhere today. Just follow me!"

After he finished speaking, a warm hand lifted Yun Qianmeng's chin and pecked her hard before she could dodge. Only then did he let her go with satisfaction, took her hand and walked out of Prime Minister Chu's residence, carrying her onto his horse...
