Luo Qingyun finally released my speech acupoint. He seemed to have expected Mu Bai's arrival and wasn't surprised at all. It was as if he had deliberately waited for him to come. Things were getting more and more interesting. My troublesome younger brother, whom I hadn't seen for many years, actually had the ability to lure Mu Bai here. How interesting.
"Now that we've heard the story, let's go. I also have many questions I'd like to ask your Crown Prince in person."
Things are getting more and more interesting; I'm curious to see where he's going to take me.
"Goodbye, elder sister. Perhaps you'll see Yun'er again soon."
This brother of mine is crazy. Since I was already in his hands, why did he bother to help me out of that predicament?
Outside the teahouse, there was still that annoying carriage and that annoying woman.
"Miss, you've calmed down after all that fuss. The Crown Princess heard you're back and wants to see you. Come with us."
Xiao Qing said to me with a smug look on her face.
I'm not angry with her. I haven't seen Xiao Qing like this in a long time.
The Crown Princess wants to see me, and I also want to see this rival I've never met before, so maybe she can remember something.
If something were to happen between me and the Crown Princess, His Highness the Crown Prince, as her husband, would surely be able to witness it.
"In that case, let's go."
"I'm afraid this is... inappropriate. I remember His Highness the Crown Prince didn't... give such an order." Just then, Mu Bai spoke up, but his soft tone couldn't intimidate anyone.
"Brother Mu, please rest assured. The Crown Princess only wishes to invite my young lady to the Crown Prince's residence for a cup of tea. It won't cause any trouble. If His Highness the Crown Prince inquires, he can simply ask the Crown Princess for help."
Sure enough, Mu Bai, that dim-witted guy, was no match for Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing's sharp tongue and sweet talk were just like Luo Qingyun's when she was little.
Having learned her lesson from last time, she dared not enter the carriage again, silently following beside it. A real-life example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong unfolded.
After many twists and turns, the carriage finally arrived at the Crown Prince's residence. I finally met the woman who had tried to seize the halberd from me, Princess Anguo.
She doesn't look that great, though she is quite pretty, with big, bright, innocent eyes. It's just that she's too young, only sixteen or seventeen, yet she married that twenty-seven-year-old old man, Ji Ruchen. What a pity.
They say rivals in love are especially hostile when they meet, but I just can't bring myself to hurt a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Moreover, she has been very enthusiastic towards me since we met, even a little too enthusiastic.
"Big sister, why are you wearing a veil?"
I:................
"Big sister, try this pastry, it's delicious."
I:...............
"Big sister, have some tea. This is tribute tea sent from Lingnan."
I:................
"Big sister, your clothes are so pretty! Where were they made? I want to make one too. Could you give me one exactly the same?"
I began to doubt whether I had come to the wrong place, but I clearly saw that it was the Crown Prince's Residence when I got off the bus.
The atmosphere seemed a little awkward, but I inexplicably agreed.
Then, thinking about it again, he shook his head. He didn't know where this outfit came from; he was wearing it when he woke up that day. Maybe the robbers gave it to him.
Besides, I'm not here today to be her best friend.
"Does Your Highness know who I am?" Since we're destined to be rivals, even if you're not the most likable person, you still have to fight. Following past practice, it's best to first sow discord, so you can use it as an excuse to your advantage.
