That night, a carriage stopped at the gate of a small courtyard in the north of the city.
Then, a bright yellow skirt floated out of the carriage.
The courtyard was pitch black, but there was a dim light in one of the rooms.
"Knock, knock, knock"
After the knock on the door, hurried footsteps were heard from inside.
Seeing the person in front of her, Qingping was horrified and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Prince..."
"Shut up! Where's Xu Wanqing?"
The small wooden box remained calm. He couldn't let anyone know how much he longed for what Xu Wanqing had in her hand.
"Reply, reply to His Royal Highness, Miss, Miss is inside the house."
Xiao Muhan gave her a cold look and said, "Get out and don't let anyone get close to you."
"yes!"
Qingping nodded and bowed, turned around and ran out, closed the door, and sat outside the yard to watch.
"Sister, look, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has driven Qingping out."
The three Zhao family members who were hiding nearby originally wanted to sneak in and eavesdrop, but they didn't expect that the prince would arrange Qingping to guard the door.
Zhao Yaru was also anxious, her face gloomy, "Wait a minute, let's go around to the back."
Zhao Mingshun looked at his brother and sister as if they were fools. Qingping was clearly a servant of the Xu family, and moreover, Wanqing's personal maid. As long as he told her, could this girl not let them in?
I was so anxious that I was confused!
Unfortunately, he has little influence and his words carry no weight. His elder sister has always been the one making decisions at home. When his elder sister is not around, his elder brother makes the decisions. Even though he is extremely smart, he can only play the role of a fool now.
The three of them quietly came to the back, but unexpectedly, there was a wall blocking them and they couldn't get close.
"what to do?"
Zhao Yaru looked around and said, "Let's stick to the wall and listen. Maybe we can hear something."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhao Mingshun still had a look of contempt on his face. These two people were so stupid.
Xiao Muchan looked at the room that emitted dim light and felt a little unhappy.
After all, he is the prince, the future heir to the throne, and Xu Wanqing didn't even take the initiative to greet him.
For a long time, there was still no movement in the inner room.
Xiao Muhan had no choice but to put his hands behind his back and stride towards the inner room.
As soon as he entered, he was startled by the scene in front of him.
Xu Wanqing was seen wearing a flowing silk long skirt, with her bellyband faintly visible inside. Her face was as rosy as a peach, and she looked very charming.
Xiao Muhan took a deep breath, and the scene of New Year's Eve flashed in his mind.
Suddenly, he felt his heart beating faster and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Seeing this, Xu Wanqing smiled shyly, "Your Highness, you are finally here."
Xiao Muhan realized that he had lost his composure and deliberately put on a stern face, "Miss Xu, what do you mean? It's freezing cold, don't hurt yourself."
Hearing this, Xu Wanqing's eyes turned red, and she looked pitiful. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. Now, Your Highness is the only one who cares about me. I am very grateful."
After saying that, she looked at Xiao Muchan again, but there was a bit more affection in her eyes.
Xiao Muhan suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, looked at Xu Wanqing and said, "Miss Xu, you asked Brother Zhao Mingde to invite me over, is that..."
Before Xiao Muchan could finish his words, Xu Wanqing got up and started searching on the bed.
At this moment, her shoulders slipped down, and Xiao Muchan saw a completely different scene.
After a while, Xu Wanqing took out a brocade box and looked at Xiao Muchan with sparkling eyes.
Xiao Muchan was overjoyed. He strode to the bedside and took the brocade box from Xu Wanqing's hand.
Xu Wanqing touched Xiao Muchan's fingers vaguely, then drew back in shock.
"Your Highness, why are your fingers... so cold?"
Xiao Muhan's face was filled with joy, his eyes fixed on the brocade box, "I came here at night, it's very cold outside."
Hearing this, Xu Wanqing's face changed. She quickly got out of bed and prepared a hot water bottle for Xiao Muchan.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I'll get you a hot water bottle..."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Wanqing accidentally fell into Xiao Muchan's arms, and Xiao Muchan caught her.
Afterwards, Xu Wanqing hurriedly stood up, her face flushed, "Your Highness, I, your servant, did not mean it."
How could he blame her with Xiao Muhan's soft fragrance in his arms? He smiled and shook his head, "I don't blame you."
Xu Wanqing's face was filled with emotion, and a light flashed in her eyes. Soon, she stuffed the hot water bottle into Xiao Muchan's hand and lit some incense.
"It's not cold now."
Xiao Muchan looked at the woman in front of him and suddenly thought she was very beautiful.
His legs seemed to be out of control. Xiao Muchan walked towards Xu Wanqing's bed with the brocade box in one hand and the hot water bottle in the other.
"Your Highness..."
"Miss Xu, please help me open this brocade box."
Xiao Muchan didn't realize that his voice had become different, a little more hoarse.
"good."
Xu Wanqing happily took the brocade box and gently opened it. Sure enough, a pair of jade unicorns appeared inside.
"That's it?"
Xiao Muhan's eyes lit up.
Xu Wanqing nodded. "That's it. After my mother's yard caught fire, my father searched for it for a long time. Unexpectedly, I found it."
Xiao Muchan's eyes were filled with excitement as he stared at Xu Wanqing, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Wanqing shook her head shyly, "I am willing to do this for Your Highness."
Xiao Muchan looked at her and said, "Thanks to you, you are really my benefactor. Whatever you want, I will definitely satisfy you."
Hearing this, Xu Wanqing's eyes filled with tears. She looked at Xiao Muchan aggrievedly, "Your Highness, I don't want anything. I just want to be with you forever."
After saying that, she grabbed Xiao Muchan's hand and rubbed it in her palm.
A delicate hand gently touched his calloused hand, and Xiao Muchan felt a little amorous. The scene on New Year's Eve appeared in his mind again.
This time, he couldn't bear it anymore and threw Xu Wanqing to the ground.
This time, Xu Wanqing did not resist, but cooperated with joy in her eyes.
"this......"
The three Zhao family members were stunned when they heard the faint sound coming from inside.
The first person to react was Zhao Mingshun. He smiled and clasped his fists, saying to Zhao Yaru, "Congratulations, sister. Congratulations, sister. Wanqing's entry into the Eastern Palace is a foregone conclusion. Sister, you will also rise to prominence. Don't forget me, your little brother!"
After Zhao Mingshun finished speaking, Zhao Mingde finally reacted and said, "I said it before, which woman in the world can compare to my niece? The others are just ordinary vulgar women. Only my niece is the model of noble ladies in the capital. The future..."
Although Zhao Yaru was feeling proud in her heart, she remained calm and composed. "Let's go. Stop talking nonsense here. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hears you, I can't protect you."
Zhao Mingde and Zhao Mingshun were stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy and can't hear it at all."
