Seeing that she secretly admired his handwriting in her heart, Chu Younan's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

After reading for a long time and writing dozens of pages, Su Bei stopped and said, "Take a break."

Chu Younan agreed and called Guizi to get the ice cream. After a while, two celadon bowls filled with milky white ice cream were brought up. Su Bei and Chu Younan sat at the eight-immortal table, each with a bowl.

Guizi showed no emotion on the surface, but he started to mutter in his heart: I don’t know how delicious this thing is, the prince eats it every day, I really want to try it.

Chu Younan chuckled, then asked, "Is there anything left in the ice cellar?"

"Your Highness, there is still some, but I'm afraid it won't be enough for tomorrow's meal." Guizi said respectfully.

Chu Younan said, "Then you can eat the rest and ask Ah Bei to make it later."

Guizi agreed, and was very happy. The masters loved it so much, so it must be good stuff! After he left, the two of them picked up the spoons. Usually when eating ice cream, Su Bei would think "it's delicious" and "I want another bowl", but today was different. She was eating with her mouth, but she was thinking about something else.

Chu Younan remained calm and waited for her to ask questions.

After eating half of it, Su Bei pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask you, if the couple divorces, can the woman still get married?"

Chu Younan chuckled, "It's not impossible, but after the divorce, men can marry whoever they want, but women can't marry a noble man, and often have to lower their status."

After saying that, he added, "Why? The princess wants to divorce?"

"No, no, no!" Su Bei hurriedly shook his head. What divorce? It would be fine if she agreed, but I just want to consummate the marriage with you! Chu Younan also wanted to consummate the marriage, but not with Mrs. Mo.

He didn't say anything else. Su Bei took another bite of ice cream and then said, "If the marriage is not consummated, will the woman be able to marry better?"

"No." Chu Younan said calmly. If he was reborn before the wedding, he would definitely regret it. But since he was reborn on the wedding night, he could only maintain a husband-and-wife relationship with Mo. But if he was asked to consummate the marriage, he would definitely not want to.

Su Bei rolled his eyes, changed the subject, and said, "Your Highness, then when it comes to men and women, is it the man who suffers or the woman who suffers?"

Chu Younan had never thought about this question. He had been taught since childhood that the wife was the head of the husband and that women were there to carry on the family line and continue the incense. When Su Bei asked this, he suddenly discovered something.

Even if the two parties were willing, if they were not married, the commoner men would at most be caned, while the women would be put in a pig cage or ride on a wooden horse. If they were married, the man could remarry voluntarily after the divorce, but the woman could only marry a lower-class man. If the concubine was a maid, it would be difficult for her to get married after being driven out.

It seems that...

"It seems like the woman is at a disadvantage..." he said thoughtfully.

Su Bei raised the corners of his lips immediately, and then finished the last bite of ice cream, saying: "The ice cream is gone, I will go make some more, Your Majesty, please take a rest first!"

Chu Younan only heard Su Bei's thoughts racing in his mind, but he couldn't make out what he was saying. He was a little surprised at the time, and didn't hear clearly what Su Bei said, so he waved his hand.

After receiving the order, Su Bei hurriedly packed up the dishes and walked out. All the way to the small kitchen of Lingfeng Pavilion, she breathed a sigh of relief and her heart gradually calmed down.

She was so excited just now that her mind was like a train. She thought that since the woman was at a disadvantage, it should be okay for Chu Younan to consummate the marriage with Mo. She also thought that Mo was going to drug him. If this prince couldn't escape this little trick, then what was he doing? She also thought that if the two of them consummated the marriage, they might be able to reconcile, and then she could leave.

There were too many thoughts, too complicated and too fast, so Chu Younan didn't hear clearly.

When she finished making the ice cream, she went back and saw Guizi and asked, "Has the prince gone to bed?"

"He fell asleep a while ago. If you go in now, he should not be asleep yet." Guizi answered with a chuckle.

Su Bei hurriedly said, "Oh, I suddenly remembered that I forgot a step in the ice cream process!"

After saying that, she turned around and ran to the kitchen. Who wants to go in? Only a fool would want to go in! Oh no, Mo thought.

This wish will come true tomorrow!

After working in the kitchen for a while, Su Bei returned home and saw Guizi dozing off at the table, not to mention Chu Younan? He must have fallen asleep long ago.

She sneaked into the ear room and lay down on the small bed, thinking that she could have a good sleep today, and that she could finish her work tomorrow and leave the house the day after tomorrow!

But Chu Younan, who was lying on the bed, was not actually asleep. When he thought about what Su Bei asked today and her previous performance, he felt that Su Bei must have other thoughts.

Was it because of that freedom? Or was it because she was afraid of being at a disadvantage? If so, he had to give Su Bei a status, not just a maid, but at least... a concubine.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he was shocked. When he proposed to marry Mo, his father had already disliked him. Now, if he took a maid as a concubine, he was afraid that it would touch his father's reverse scale again.

He had to think of a way to let Su Bei show up in front of his father, the emperor, and his mother, win some favor, and preferably do something that would make them praise him, so that the title of concubine could be made a natural thing.

After thinking for a long time, he gradually fell asleep.

Su Bei, who slept alone in the side room, slept soundly that night. Perhaps her mind was completely occupied by the matter with Mrs. Mo, so she did not have a nightmare that night. When she woke up and went out, she found Guizi pouting and looking at her with an unhappy face, "Why didn't you go in and serve yesterday?"

Su Bei hurriedly asked, "Is he angry?" She was worried to death. It would be terrible if Chu Younan was angry and refused to go to Mudan Pavilion for dinner.

Fortunately, Guizi smiled, "You are being favored, how could the prince bear to be angry with you? He even specifically told you not to make noises and told you to get enough sleep!"

"That's great, that's great!" Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

Guizi asked again, "Shall I fetch water and serve?" His intuition told him that Su Bei would definitely not just be a maid in the future. She would at least be a lady, and she might even give birth to a prince earlier than the princess! But Su Bei waved her hand and said, "No, no, it's getting late. I'm going back to the Peony Pavilion!"

"Okay, then remember to come back in the evening!"

"Remember to invite the prince over for dinner!" Su Bei said as he walked out.

After she returned to the Peony Pavilion, she washed and combed her hair and went into the main room. Adong was combing Mo's hair into a fairy bun. When she saw her come in, Mo asked Adong to go out and called Su Bei to her side.

"How is it? Will he come tonight? When will we start?" Mrs. Mo asked nervously.
