Moreover, Xie Cheng was surprised to find that Jiang Muyu seemed to have become more beautiful and charming after not seeing her for some time.

Her outfit was rather simple, with her hair adorned with only a white peacock comb decorated with sapphires and two golden crabapple pearl flower swings, a white jade bracelet on her wrist, and a light touch of makeup on her face, making her look like a first blooming night-blooming cereus, pure and flawless.

Jiang Muyu turned around and was about to leave. Xie Cheng came to his senses and hurried forward, "This inkstone..."

Jiang Muyu didn't want to hear him finish, and said, "Since you have got this inkstone, I'll give it to you."

He took a few quick steps, stood in front of her, and asked anxiously, "Zhao Zhao, do you have any misunderstanding about me?"

Jiang Muyu was speechless. "Isn't this going to end? There is no misunderstanding. I just don't want to see you and don't want to hear you talk. Do you understand?"

Xie Cheng was panicked for a moment. He had never heard Jiang Muyu say a harsh word before. Every time she saw him, she always called him "Brother Cheng" gently. When had she ever been so hasty and commanding?

"Zhao Zhao..." He spoke with grievance, his handsome face showing hurt and sadness, and a full sense of brokenness.

However, Jiang Muyu was so angry that she quickly took two steps back and said, "Now that I'm married and you're married, Mr. Xie, please don't call me by my nickname anymore, so as to avoid misunderstanding."

Every time he took a step forward, she took a step back. When Xie Cheng tried to pull her hand, she dodged it.

"Zhao Zhao, do you really want to be so heartless?"

It felt like they were on different wavelengths, and there was no point in talking. Jiang Muyu was too lazy to waste time talking to him, so he raised his voice and said, "I've seen enough of the show, how long are you going to hide, Prince?"

Hearing this, Xie Cheng was stunned and froze in place.

Liang Qingchen coughed lightly and walked in from the door. When he saw Xie Cheng, his tone was full of doubt, "Master Xie is here too?"

Currently, Xie Cheng is serving as the fifth-rank Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, which is a relatively low-ranking official position, but he obtained this position by secretly arranging things behind Jiang Muyu's back.

Liang Qingchen naturally knew about this, but he turned a blind eye to it.

Jiang Muyu glanced at him calmly, followed his lead, and said, "It's quite a coincidence that Lord Xie and I both fell in love with the inkstone, and that's how we met."

Liang Qingchen glanced at the inkstone in his hand and smiled faintly, "I think the inkstone is just so-so. If Zhao Zhao wants it, I have an unused fine one in my study."

The study Liang Qingchen was referring to was the academy in his palace that was used specifically for official business.

"That's fine. Anyway, the inkstone has already been taken by Master Xie. I can't take it away from him."

The couple sang in unison, leaving Xie Cheng completely speechless.

Liang Qingchen asked her, "Do you have any other interests?"

Jiang Muyu said: "I just picked out two brushes and some rice paper."

"Then let's settle the bill together. My wallet is all yours."

"good."

Liang Qingchen looked at Xie Cheng and said, "If Master Xie has nothing else to do, my husband and I will go first."

Xie Cheng nodded woodenly and was about to salute when Jiang Muyu directly pulled Liang Qingchen past him.

She really didn't want to deal with this Phoenix man for a moment.

After settling the bill and asking the servant to put the things in the carriage, the two of them left the shop.

Xie Cheng walked to the door of the store and saw the backs of two people walking away together. They were wearing clothes of the same color. The man was tall and straight, and the woman was petite and dependent. They looked like a pair of immortal lovers.

He clenched his fist unconsciously, and suddenly heard a snapping sound, and a corner of the inkstone in his hand was crushed by him.

The shop boy was a little scared. It seemed as if black smoke was coming out of this man's body. But he swallowed his saliva and had to go forward. He said carefully, "Sir, this inkstone..."

He handed the inkstone to the servant and said coldly, "Pack it up and settle the bill."

"Yes, yes." The servant hurriedly took the inkstone to the back of the counter to settle the bill.

Jiang Muyu had almost finished his tour of the room, so the two of them got on the carriage and went home.

Liang Qingchen held her hand all the way and did not let go even after getting on the carriage. Her palms were sweating.

"Your Highness, I'm hot." She tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tighter.

Liang Qingchen looked at her, his eyes sparkling, his handsome face full of tenderness, he said: "Zhao Zhao, I am very happy."

She had never chosen him before, but today, it was like a dream.

Jiang Muyu stared at him for a moment, and soon gave in. His burning gaze made her face flush, "I... I'm a little thirsty."

Liang Qingchen poured her a cup of tea with one hand, picked it up and prepared to feed her personally.

She quickly said, "I can do it myself."

"Zhao Zhao, I want to do something for you." He said sincerely.

Jiang Muyu surrendered again and let him feed the tea to her mouth.

Then he said, "Zhao Zhao, is there anything else you want? I will buy it for you."

Jiang Muyu was amused and suddenly wanted to tease him, "I want the sun in the sky, will you buy it for me too?"

Liang Qingchen blinked, shook his head, and said, "I'll think of a way."

Jiang Muyu was speechless and said, "I was just joking."

This man is too honest. Does he think he is Houyi? He should think about it.

The carriage arrived at Prince Dari's Mansion. Liang Qingchen helped her get off and still held her tightly, unwilling to let go until Tangtang appeared.

Tangtang woke up from a nap and found that her father, mother and brother were all gone. She cried and ran all the way to the gate of the mansion. If the guards outside had not stopped her, she would have run away.

Liang Qingchen saw the little girl crying with red eyes and tear stains on her face. She felt so sorry for her that she immediately went over to hug her and said to her in a very gentle tone, "My little darling, why are you crying?"

Tangtang's tears, which she had managed to hold back, burst out again, and she sobbed, "Daddy...brother...you...you don't want Tangtang anymore...Tangtang...I'm afraid..."

Jiang Muyu took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, feeling both distressed and sad. The little girl cried so pitifully, but she mentioned her father and her brother while crying but not her mother, which seemed like she still didn't accept her.

She sighed silently in her heart, the road to coaxing her daughter is long.

Liang Qingchen walked into the palace while coaxing Tangtang. Jiang Muyu followed beside them but couldn't get involved, so he simply didn't join in.

When they returned to Qingyu Courtyard, Tangtang had stopped crying, so Jiang Muyu asked someone to bring over the dishes he had bought from the restaurant outside.

She felt a little hungry when she just walked into the restaurant. Liang Qingchen originally said that they would eat outside before coming back, but she remembered that there was little Tangtang in the house, so she asked someone to pack it up and bring it back.

The chefs in the palace naturally cooked good food, but after eating too much at home, they would occasionally try something from outside just for the sake of novelty, just like ordering takeout in modern times.

Tangtang was so happy that she reached out to grab the roasted chicken leg on the plate, but Jiang Muyu stopped her and said, "Wash your hands first."

She curled her lips but didn't dare to retort and sat in her seat obediently.

The maid came over with a plate for washing hands, and Yun Xuan helped Tangtang wash her hands and wiped them clean.

"Mom, can I eat the chicken leg now?" Tangtang asked carefully.

Jiang Muyu personally put the chicken leg into the bowl in front of her and said with a faint smile: "Eat it."

Only then did Tangtang grab the chicken leg and take a bite.

Liang Qingchen kept picking up food for her, but he didn't eat much himself.

Jiang Muyu asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is the food not to your taste?"

Liang Qingchen shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry."

People always have no appetite sometimes, so she didn't force him. She persuaded him to eat a little, and she had a bowl of rice and two bowls of soup.

Liang Qingchen went to the study after finishing his meal.

He leaned against the tree trunk and spit into the spittoon that Xu Lang brought over, sweating profusely and seeing stars.

Xu Lang patted his back to calm him down, and sighed, "My Lord, why are you doing this?"
