Mrs. Mo was extremely reluctant, but this was the first time she had eaten at the same table with Chu Younan since she entered the palace, and Su Bei did make a great contribution to it.

The smile on her face became even wider, and then she took off an emerald green bracelet from her wrist and put it on Su Bei's hand, "You have served the prince well, and this is a reward for you. Although you and I are master and servant, we are as close as sisters. You must take good care of the prince for me!"

Su Bei was delighted, but she refused: "Such a valuable thing, I can't wear it, or..."

"The princess gave you a reward, you can't refuse it!" Chu Younan picked up another piece of tofu with chopsticks, and then said leisurely, "Green really suits Ah Bei, why don't I see you wearing the materials that the princess gave you?"

Su Bei: "Axi is helping me sew, but she has a lot of work to do, so she sews a little slowly."

Chu Younan thought for a moment and said, "It is true that there are fewer people serving in the Peony Pavilion. The maids and servants brought by the princess have almost learned the rules. Let them come back to serve tomorrow!"

Mrs. Mo was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration of me!"

But Chu Younan continued, "Ah Bei makes snacks for me every day, which is hard work. I will give her two maids to serve her."

The joy in Mrs. Mo's heart suddenly disappeared.

She originally had four maids, and a nanny, but because Anan had committed Chu Younan's name, she only brought three maids and a nanny with her when she came.

Although the prince asked Ah Dong and Nanny Gui to come back, she only had four people serving her, and Ah Bei, because she was sleeping with him, actually had two maids serving her! It was clear that her status as a princess was only slightly better than that of a maid!

Mo was furious, but she didn't know that Su Bei was secretly cheering: Great, great! This thing is going more and more smoothly! The big plan is just around the corner! Just around the corner!

Chu Younan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He was not so petty that he wanted to play tricks on Mo, but he could not forget the soft words that Mo said to King Mu when he was dying in his previous life.

"My Lord, I helped you with that important matter. Please don't forget it!"

Was that event the downfall of his mother's family, or the execution of his teacher's entire family? Or was it his mother who was later banished to the cold palace? In this life, he would naturally not give Mo this opportunity again, but he would first force her to do something desperate, and then secretly see when and how she would take action.

So now, Mrs. Mo is still thinking about pleasing him and reconciling with him, but that's not enough! He knows very well that even if he pampers Mrs. Mo to the sky, she is not sincere to him. Once there is a slight mistake, Mrs. Mo will still hook up with others.

So after the meal, Chu Younan still didn't say anything about letting Madam Mo move around freely, but just said, "Abei, sleep with me!"

"Yes!" Su Bei responded straightforwardly today.

Mrs. Mo was furious.

But Su Bei and Chu Younan couldn't help but ask as they walked along the road: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you would let the princess move freely? Why..."

"It's not the right time yet." Chu Younan replied indifferently.

Under the moon, on the path, the shadows of the two people were stretched out. Su Bei's shadow next to Chu Younan looked as short as a child.

Su Bei poked his head out, and the shadow followed suit. Su Bei waved, and the shadow waved too.

She thought Chu Younan didn't notice it, but she didn't know that he had already curled the corners of his lips.

He hasn't seen such an innocent, clean and pure person in many years.

"Abei, do you still remember your family?" Chu Younan asked casually.

Of course Su Bei remembered, but the original owner's memory was fuzzy, so she could only say: "I can't remember clearly, I just remember that there was a pair of big stone lions at the door of my house when I was very young. Later, I don't know what happened, the house was in chaos, and everyone separated."

A family with a stone lion at the door should not be of low status. Chu Younan immediately understood that no matter where this Abei came from, he should be a criminal slave.

"So what do you plan to do when you go out?" Chu Younan asked again.

"Plan? I think I have a talent for making pastries, so I plan to open a pastry shop, and then make some ice cream and cold drinks. I think it will be popular all over Kyoto!" Su Bei said proudly.

"Ice... cream? Is it edible?" Chu Younan used to think that this was a person.

"Hmm! It's delicious. Eating one in the summer will instantly cool you down from the inside out. It's a pity that I haven't eaten it for a long time..." The more Su Bei spoke, the lower his voice became.

Chu Younan asked again: "What is ice cream made of?"

"It seems to be eggs and milk?" Su Bei said cheerfully, but his voice sank after a moment, "But it still needs to be frozen..."

Chu Younan suddenly stopped, and Su Bei, who was hanging her head, almost bumped into her again. As soon as she stopped, her hand was grabbed, "Follow me!"

"Where are you going?" Su Bei was startled, and all her attention was on her hands. She had never held hands with a boy before! This old pervert! Chu Younan ignored her and took her to trot all the way to the kitchen.

At this time, the only people on night duty were left in the kitchen. As newcomers, Aunt Gui and A-dong were on night duty almost every day, so tonight it was Aunt Gui's turn.

The door suddenly opened, startling the dozing Nanny Gui. She froze in shock and stammered, "King... King... King..."

"Go down!" Chu Younan ordered before she could finish her stuttering, but then he added, "Wait a minute, find some eggs and milk!"

“Yes!” Nanny Gui hurried to find her, but she was thinking in her heart: Isn’t this Ah Bei? How could such a lowly girl like her come to the kitchen with the prince in the middle of the night? And they were actually... holding hands? ! What a lowly girl! Su Bei didn’t know, but Chu Younan’s face darkened. After Nanny Gui found seven or eight eggs and a small can of milk, he said again: “These are not enough, find more!”

Aunt Gui hesitated and said, "That's all. If you want more, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning..."

"If you can't even handle such a small matter, how can I let you go back to serve the princess?!" Chu Younan shouted in a low voice.

"Hey! I'll go find it right away!" Nanny Gui hurried out. If the prince wants it, she has to get it even if she has to knock on the door of the delivery house in the middle of the night! I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep that night!

After Aunt Gui left, Chu Younan pointed at the eggs and milk and said, "Go ahead and make it. I'll try some when it's done."

The corners of Su Bei's mouth twitched, "It has to be frozen, otherwise..."

"Okay, let's go!" Chu Younan said, picked up a basket, put the eggs and milk in it, and then took Su Bei's hand again.

Su Bei hurriedly took the dishes and chopsticks and put them in, then followed him out.

On the night road, the moonlight is everywhere.

Su Bei wanted him to let go, but for some reason, before she could say anything, he held her tighter and said, "Hurry up!"

Well, it turns out that you think I'm too slow! Su Bei pursed her lips, secretly mocking her own self-conceit. Just now, she had a little bit of love in her heart.

Chu looked at the two shadows, one tall and one short, walking side by side. Younan secretly raised the corners of his lips. This feeling was somewhat similar to when he was with the Mo family, but also not quite the same.

He was so enthusiastic at that time that he almost used all his strength to not hug her and kiss her, but now he did not have that impulse. He just felt a warm little hand in his palm, and the two shadows were side by side, which made him feel inexplicably at ease.

But what made the corners of his lips curl up was the sour feeling of love in Su Bei's heart.

As they walked, Su Bei saw a strange door in front of him. Chu Younan whispered, "We're here."
