Shen Yuerong then realized why Chi Mu had gotten up so early a few days ago, and she immediately entered the palace.
"I don't really care. As long as we are in harmony, it doesn't matter if we don't have that kind of relationship. Otherwise, it's just like me and the general. Although we were legitimate, we ended up breaking up."
Chi Mu sat beside her, "Since... the New Year's gift I originally prepared for you is not useful, why don't you accompany me back to the palace, take a look at the Prince's Palace, and compare it with the General's Palace that you personally supported, to see which one is better?"
"Are you kidding? The General's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion are in different geographical locations. The amount of money used to open the mansions is also different. How can they be compared?"
"I just want you to see with your own eyes that my palace is a hundred times better than the general's mansion, so that you won't miss the general's mansion where your shadow is everywhere in the future."
Shen Yuerong had been with him for some time.
Although he seemed approachable and loving to me on weekdays, for some reason he became like a furious lion whenever the General's Mansion and Fu Hengyu were mentioned.
"Okay, I'll go back with you."
This was not the first time Shen Yuerong had entered the palace.
But it can also be seen that the palace was specially decorated. Not only does it have a New Year atmosphere, it has even been renovated a lot.
"Why did you think of renovating the palace?"
"This isn't... about getting married!"
Chi Mu still looked at her seriously, "If it weren't for His Majesty's disapproval, I would have arranged our marriage after the New Year."
"There's no rush."
Now, there is still no resolution in the capital regarding the matter between her and Fu Hengyu.
If the two of them were really together at this moment, it would only cause greater waves in the capital.
"But that would mean you would be wronged. I think it's inappropriate when I think about it."
Since they had decided to be together, he naturally hoped to hold the wedding as soon as possible and welcome her into his home, so that at least she wouldn't be easily hurt by others like before.
"I know what you're worried about. You're just afraid that what happened before will happen again. But I tell you, I'm not a pushover. I can tolerate them once, but I won't tolerate them a second time, and I won't be as cowardly as I was the first time."
If his father's relics had not been in Fu Hengyu's hands, he would never have been able to control Shen Yuerong.
"When I mention it today, I still feel a little scared. Such an important thing happened to you, but I was not in the capital, not by your side, and I forced you to handle it all by yourself. I feel like I am still a..."
"This is my own business. It has nothing to do with you. How can I blame you?"
Chen Yuerong was trying to comfort him considerately, and then pretended to be relaxed, "Didn't you want to take me to have a good look at the palace? Why do you look so distressed as soon as you come in? Is there something in your house that you don't want me to see?"
"Of course not."
Chi Mu took Shen Yuerong's hand and took her on a tour of the entire palace.
I have to say Chi Mu was right.
The two men were tired from shopping and returned to the main hall.
While eating together, Chi Mu hesitated and asked, "What do you think of my palace?"
"Of course it's great, and... I can feel that the people who live here have put a lot of effort into arranging all this."
Although many places have been covered with snow, it can be seen that this yard has been carefully protected for a long time.
"Ever since I was named a prince, I have been living here. Every blade of grass and every tree here has a connection with me, and I have also put my heart and soul into decorating this place."
He reached out and touched Shen Yuerong's forehead, "As long as you like it, it will be more comfortable for you to move in later."
"Who wants to live with you!"
…
The year had not yet ended when Chi Mu was called into the palace by the Emperor again.
Shen Yuerong only knew that he looked a little worried after he came back. She wanted to ask if there was anything she needed help with, but she found that he had gone into the study.
Shen Yuerong didn't want to disturb him, so she just did her own thing.
And this busyness lasted until the beginning of spring.
Seeing the beautiful scenery outside, Shen Yuerong really wanted to ask Chi Mu to go for an outing together, but she heard from Fang Mu more than once that he was very busy recently, so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuerong couldn't bear to disturb him anymore, so she had to put the plan on hold.
Until that day he came to my door.
Seeing that he looked a little tired, Shen Yuerong asked someone to make him a cup of calming tea.
But he found it difficult to speak, "I need your help."
Shen Yuerong also knew that this matter must be difficult, otherwise he would not have been so busy since the New Year.
"Two months have passed. It's a clear and bright moon outside. I always wanted to ask you out for an outing, but since you were always busy, I gave up the idea. Now that you are finally willing to share with me, why don't I tell you the truth about what happened? Maybe I can help you."
He had no choice but to tell her what had happened recently.
"Originally, the prince was just setting a trap for me in front of the refrigerator. When I wanted to marry you, he also said a few more words in front of the Queen Mother and the Empress. Naturally, the Queen Mother and the Empress would not agree, so there was a quarrel."
The reason why he couldn't meet Shen Yuerong in the previous month was mostly because the Queen and the Queen Mother didn't allow it.
But it was not the case in the second half of the month.
"Later, I finally convinced the Queen Mother and the Empress, and told them that we were not in a hurry, and that I would get to know your character and make a decision at the last minute. I thought everything would end there, but I didn't expect a commotion in Jiangnan."
"The weather in Jiangnan should be very good at this time. It's spring and the sun is shining. How could something go wrong?"
"The news coming from there is sporadic, but what we can confirm now is that it rained early and they didn't take precautions, so there were heavy casualties. Now the capital needs to send someone to appease the people, and I'm the best candidate."
Chi Mu would never let the prince do this.
The identities of the others were not important, so it would be of no use even if they went there.
"So you're here to say goodbye to me?"
Chi Mu shook his head. "I just want to ask if you are interested in going with me? There happened to be a disaster there, and there must be patients who can't get treatment. If you accompany me, maybe those people can be properly settled, and you and I... can be inseparable. If you stay with me, you don't have to worry about the open and secret arrows in the capital trying to hurt you. Just accompany me."
Although Shen Yuerong was somewhat tempted, she no longer had the courage she had before. "I don't have an official position now. If I rush over, it would be good enough if I don't cause trouble for you. But I really want to go..."
