Time seems to pass slowly.
Qian Ruoyu and Chu Mobai were walking on the road. The clothes they wore were very simple, and passers-by could not tell that one of them was a princess and the other was a prince.
Yan'er was watching secretly from a distance of more than ten feet behind, with a smile on her face.
Because Yan'er had never seen Qian Ruoyu and Chu Mobai walking so close, and they walked for nearly a whole incense stick of time, which could be said to be the longest time the two had ever stood together.
"We are almost at the city gate."
"We are almost at the city gate."
In an instant, the two of them said these words in unison.
Qian Ruoyu looked at Chu Mobai in surprise, and Chu Mobai's gaze also met hers.
Qian Ruoyu never thought that Chu Mobai would say such words to her at the same time.
Chu Mobai on the other side was also very surprised.
But what the two people wanted to express in their hearts were completely different.
Although they have been together for a while, there is still no emotional foundation between Qian Ruoyu and Chu Mobai.
Calling Chu Mobai her husband was just Qian Ruoyu's helpless choice, and Qian Ruoyu had begun to call him her husband naturally and accepted this identity.
After all, Chu Mobai is still quite cute at certain moments.
Not all pig trotters are annoying.
This is what Qian Ruoyu was thinking in her heart, and it is also all the feelings Qian Ruoyu had during this period of time.
Although Chu Mobai on the other side did not have the exact opposite feelings to Qian Ruoyu, at least he began to identify with this princess in his heart.
In Chu Mobai's opinion, the identity of Princess Qian Ruoyu began to slowly gain his recognition. Although he didn't hate her as much as before, at least he didn't like her that much either.
Chu Mobai just felt that during the time when Qian Ruoyu became the princess consort, there had not been any chaos in the palace, and he had not been persecuted by Qian Ruoyu because of this.
The royal palace, in particular, successfully organized the old lady's birthday banquet, and when Chu Mobai was attending court, he even heard some civil and military officials marvel at the birthday banquet.
Moreover, several of his fellow military officers came to Chu Mobai after the court meeting to express their gratitude and praise for Qian Ruoyu.
Although Chu Mobai himself did not have any feelings for Qian Ruoyu, he at least listened carefully to the words of his fellow military officers.
According to her fellow military officers, Qian Ruoyu was simply a good wife. Not only was she loved by the old lady, but also among the thousands of people who attended the old lady's birthday banquet, the vast majority of them liked Qian Ruoyu.
It is precisely because of so many changes and influences that Chu Mobai has a huge change in his opinion of Qian Ruoyu.
Chu Mobai finally spoke.
"Just send me to the city gate. You can go back first. I still have to go to the military camp. Thank you very much for what happened today."
Qian Ruoyu looked surprised.
She never thought that she would hear the word "thank you" from Chu Mobai's mouth.
This is already a huge change for Chu Mobai.
Qian Ruoyu raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said to Chu Mobai with a smile.
"There's nothing to thank me for. Just remember this: even if you really have to go out to fight in a war, you have to stay alive!"
When Chu Mobai heard what Qian Ruoyu said, his pupils shrank instantly and he stared directly at Qian Ruoyu.
But what Qian Ruoyu wanted in her heart was just to let Chu Mobai live well, so that she wouldn't have to be buried alive with him.
If Chu Mobai died on the battlefield, not only would she become a widow, but she would also most likely be buried alive with him.
But in Chu Mobai's understanding, it was different.
Chu Mobai nodded slowly.
Then the two of them separated directly at the city gate.
Chu Mobai returned to the military camp, while Qian Ruoyu brought Yan'er back to the palace.
As soon as she returned to the palace, Yan'er received a menu from Fatty Wang. That menu was exactly the dishes that everyone was looking forward to at the celebration banquet.
After Qian Ruoyu took a quick look, she found that there were indeed some expensive dishes on it, but the proportion was not large.
Basically, everyone's request was to eat more meat. Seeing such common requests made Qian Ruoyu feel extremely satisfied.
Especially Zhang Ma, Wang Po and Xiao Hong, they even calculated how much it would cost to hold the celebration banquet.
The cost of meat would be approximately three hundred taels of silver, while vegetables would only cost a few dozen taels of silver.
Seeing such ordinary and cheap requests from everyone, Qian Ruoyu actually began to feel a little distressed.
This means that Qian Ruoyu's expenditure was less than four hundred taels of silver. Everyone knew how to save money for themselves.
But Qian Ruoyu felt that there was more than just this method, so he entered a room and then walked out of the room.
So he gave instructions to Yan'er.
"Yan'er, go to the kitchen and call a few people over to move the silver. There are exactly five hundred taels of silver in that room."
"Use a large part of it to buy various dishes and treasures, and take the rest to Rat Street to buy some gifts. This princess wants to give these people some good gifts."
After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Yan'er nodded quickly and ran out with a few maids.
Qian Ruoyu was tired after a whole afternoon and decided to have a good rest in her room.
Yan'er brought a few young men into the room and found five hundred taels of silver in a box in the room.
They started to do it according to Qian Ruoyu's request, while Qian Ruoyu lay on the table and rested for a while.
Just after Qian Ruoyu finished his rest, he went to the kitchen himself and saw that they had neatly arranged the baskets of dishes and the jars of meat.
When they saw Qian Ruoyu coming, the expressions on everyone's faces brightened up and they all smiled at Qian Ruoyu.
After all, these dishes and meat were prepared for them by Qian Ruoyu, which cost nearly five hundred taels of silver. Dozens of people in the kitchen knew this.
They never imagined that Qian Ruoyu had spent more than four hundred taels of silver just for a celebratory banquet.
But Qian Ruoyu also knew that he could not casually reveal the amount of money at such a critical moment, otherwise, if he was caught by others, he would easily be criticized.
Therefore, after Qian Ruoyu came to the kitchen, he gathered everyone in front of him.
As soon as everyone heard Qian Ruoyu's call, they put down what they were doing and walked towards Qian Ruoyu, looking very willing to respond to his call.
