Just then, Lu Ziyuan arrived.

Zhong Muyu didn't bow like the others, but simply greeted them with a smile: "You're here! What do you think?"

However, at this moment, Lu Ziyuan no longer looked at the chariot; his gaze was completely drawn to Zhong Muyu.

Her clothes were covered in dust, her hair was a bit messy, and there were two streaks of dust on her face.

Lu Ziyuan frowned slightly: "Didn't you say you could order them to do it? Why did you get yourself into this state?"

The craftsmen all lowered their heads.

It's not that they don't want to do it, it's just that the princess won't listen to advice!

Seeing the odd look in his eyes, Zhong Muyu quickly smoothed things over: "Don't blame them. There are some things they don't know how to use, so I have to demonstrate them. Besides, with all that money I'm getting paid by you, I have to do it myself, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyuan's expression improved: "If they've learned it, let them do more tomorrow, so they don't end up like this."

Lu Ziyuan was pleased to see that Zhong Muyu cared so much about his affairs, even though Zhong Muyu's purpose was money.

After leaving the renovation site, Zhong Muyu asked, "Lu Ziyuan, is there hot water in the kitchen? I can't stay like this, I need to take a shower."

"The soldiers in the camp would take a bath at the river nearby, without boiling water specifically for that purpose."

"What?"

Zhong Muyu blushed. Was she going to the riverbank too?

She wasn't afraid of taking a cold shower, but the environment was too dangerous.

Chengfeng immediately replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will arrange for someone to fetch water and boil it for your bath!"

"Phew! Thank goodness for you, thanks!"

However, these words made Lu Ziyuan feel a pang of jealousy. Zhong Muyu had never been so gentle to him before!

But there's plenty of time in the military, and there will be plenty of opportunities!

The wind was fast; it heated the water quickly and poured it into a large bathtub. However, one thing was displeasing: the bathtub was placed in Lu Ziyuan's room!

"Chengfeng! Why did you put the bathtub here?"

Chengfeng said, "Your Highness, there's no room for a bathtub in your room. There are no special bathing facilities in the military camp. Even this bathtub belongs to the Prince, and he bathes in his own room..."

The more Cheng Feng spoke, the darker Zhong Muyu's face became.

She not only wanted to use Lu Ziyuan's bathtub, but also wanted to take a bath in his room!

Lu Ziyuan suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone, "Why don't you go wash in the yard? If you don't like this bath tub, you'll have to go to the river."

Zhong Muyu gritted her teeth and decided to wash it!

Tomorrow she'll go and search her social media profile to see if there's a bathtub!

"I'll wash! But you all need to leave and lock the door!"

Cheng Feng agreed, and Lu Ziyuan smiled without saying a word. Only after they had all left did Zhong Muyu dare to take off her clothes and enter the water.

The slightly hot water washed away the day's fatigue, and Zhong Muyu comfortably closed her eyes.

After taking a shower, Zhong Muyu felt much more relaxed, and Chengfeng brought her the food.

Perhaps because she was too tired during the day, Zhong Muyu fell into a deep sleep not long afterward.

Late at night, when Lu Ziyuan returned, only Zhong Muyu's shallow breathing could be heard in the house. He gently pushed the door, wanting to go in and take a look, but the door did not budge.

Lu Ziyuan was quite helpless; she was very careful in protecting herself.

It seems the road to winning back his wife will be long and arduous.

...

The next morning, when Zhong Muyu went to help modify the chariot again, the craftsmen had become much more efficient, saving her a lot of effort.

Unexpectedly, they had a strong learning ability. Zhong Muyu was happy to relax and decided to take a stroll around the area.

Zhong Muyu arrived at the riverbank. The scenery here was beautiful, with clear water and lush mountains. Zhong Muyu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The air is also very fresh.

Just then, she heard footsteps behind her. Before she could turn around, she heard Lu Ziyuan's voice: "It seems they haven't disappointed me that they have time to relax here."

"Lu Ziyuan? What are you doing here?"

Zhong Muyu turned around and saw him standing there leading a horse.

"I heard from the craftsman that you were heading this way, so I came to take a look."

“They learned very quickly and didn’t let me do many things, so I left the tools to them.”

Lu Ziyuan led his horse to Zhong Muyu's side and pointed to a spot not far away: "The weather is nice today. A few people have gone hunting. I'm about to go. What about you?"

Zhong Muyu was surprised: "You're inviting me again?"

"Don't forget, you are my queen. Besides, given your personality, you should be interested in hunting."

Zhong Muyu thought to herself, "Why does he always have to emphasize this kind of thing?"

However, Zhong Muyu was indeed quite interested in hunting.

In her time, due to human development, everything in the wild, whether flying in the sky or running on the ground, was a protected animal.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Knowing she would agree, Lu Ziyuan mounted his horse and held out his hand to her: "Get on the horse!"

"What?"

Lu Ziyuan asked deliberately, "Can you ride a horse?"

"I won't."

She admitted that she couldn't ride a horse.

Thinking about it this way, it's a bit of an exaggeration that someone born into a family of loyal and righteous people wouldn't know how to ride a horse, but what can you do when she was born in the palace?

“Then come up. If you walk, you won’t get there before dark.”

Zhong Muyu hesitated for a few seconds, but finally grabbed his hand and sat down on the horse.

Feeling the weight of another person, the horse seemed unhappy and kept moving, which made Zhong Muyu's heart pound with anxiety. She couldn't help but grip the saddle and Lu Ziyuan tightly.

Seeing her clinging to him like an octopus, Lu Ziyuan tried his best to suppress his laughter. Zhong Muyu, who was usually fearless, actually had such a timid moment.

He gently comforted the horse: "Black Cloud, don't be afraid."

The horse seemed to understand his words and gradually quieted down, but Zhong Muyu couldn't calm down. Being so close to Lu Ziyuan made her feel uncomfortable, as if she had thorns all over her body.

Whether Lu Ziyuan did it on purpose or not, the horse ran very slowly, and Zhong Muyu felt like she was sitting on pins and needles every second on the horse.

"What's wrong? Nervous?"

Lu Ziyuan's voice came from beside her, and Zhong Muyu quickly tried to distance herself from him.

"Don't get so close to me when you talk."

"There's nothing we can do about it. That's how it is when two people are on horseback. It's your fault for not knowing how to ride a horse."

Hearing the joy in Lu Ziyuan's words, Zhong Muyu gritted her teeth. She was determined to learn how to ride a horse when she got back!

After a while, the horse stopped, and Lu Ziyuan pointed to a forest in front of them: "We've arrived. This is the hunting ground."

Lu Ziyuan helped Zhong Muyu dismount. She looked around and saw a gray rabbit nimbly disappear into the grass.

So cute! It's a pity she doesn't know how to hunt, otherwise she would definitely have hunted some and made spicy rabbit meat.

Lu Ziyuan seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He surveyed the surroundings, then nocked an arrow and drew his bow. With a "whoosh," the arrow flew into the grass not far away.

"you……"

Zhong Muyu looked at the bushes with disbelief. The rabbit's fur blended into the withered grass, yet he could see it?

The two went over to take a look and found that they had indeed shot a plump rabbit.

Lu Ziyuan waved the rabbit in his hand: "I saw you staring at the rabbit, so I caught one for you."
