"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness!" I feigned an innocent smile. "Your Highness has been coughing repeatedly today. Is there something wrong with your throat? Do you need me to call the imperial physician for you?"
"Hahahaha..." Song Yu laughed. "Don't bother Miss Mu with any worries. Miss Mu should think about how to store and hide this quilt now."
"Your Highness is right. I wonder if Your Highness has any good ideas?"
"Mrs. Mu can stuff the cotton inside back into the sheets of her own bed, and then make clothes out of the sheets and wear them. This way, she can be with you day and night!" He raised his eyebrows and smiled at me.
Crazy... What kind of bizarre train of thought is this? I knew he was teasing me, but I had no idea he could come up with such a shocking and heartbreaking idea. I was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
"Miss Mu, there's no need to thank me!" He said proudly, "Miss Mu and my brother are so in love with each other, it's really enviable! As a younger brother, I can help out a little and it's also a good deed for myself!"
It's more than just accumulating virtue, it's accumulating great virtue! But his words reminded me that Princess Ru Shuang was present the whole time just now, so I'd better find a chance to explain to her.
"What's the matter? Your Highness, haven't you found your ideal lady yet? Do you need me to introduce you to a few?" I retorted jokingly.
"Oh, please don't, please don't!" He feigned fear. "I'm not the emperor's brother. I can't handle a beautiful woman who has a headache and a fever and feels unwell one moment and then suddenly becomes enlightened and eloquent the next!"
Before I could politely retort, Xiao Tao behind me couldn't help but burst out laughing. I turned around to see her smiling face and said coldly, "Xiao Tao, what are you laughing at?"
"Ah, no, no!" Xiao Tao said innocently: "I am happy for the young lady when I hear the prince praising her for her eloquence and intelligence!" This little girl is so ungrateful!
"What about the 'headache, fever, and feeling unwell' he mentioned... Are you happy for me too?"
"Well..." She curled her lips timidly: "This is also the truth..."
"Haha, original owner, I'll take all the blame for you." I was furious when Song Yu burst into laughter. As I was walking towards the Imperial Garden, I suddenly saw a slender, lake-blue figure hidden behind the rustling bamboo leaves.
She seemed to sense my gaze and slowly emerged from behind the branches. The woman before me was delicate and thin, like a willow by the lake, and her voice was as gentle as a veil brushing against my face: "Greetings, Miss Mu, and Prince Yu."
I nodded and was hesitating about who it was when Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao came forward and saluted: "Greetings to Concubine Wang." Oh, she was also one of the concubines in the harem, but the book didn't seem to mention much about her.
"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Song Yu also felt that there was nothing else to do, so he turned around and left. Wang Cairen on the side also said softly: "If Miss Mu has nothing else to do, I will leave first." I nodded and returned to Chenxiang Pavilion with Xiaotao and Xiaocui.
