She raised an eyebrow, "Is the Gongfang so far?"
Chunju, who was following her, also asked, "Yes, Miss Xiaolu, just now I saw those ladies going to the guest rooms and it seems that this is not the way."
Xiaolu kept walking as he replied, "There's a problem in the courtyard's reception room. I'll have to trouble you, Princess, to take a few more steps."
"It's okay." Tu Qingyu said calmly, "It won't hurt to take a few more steps."
She followed Xiaolu for a while, and when they reached a loft, Xiaolu stopped and said, "Princess, please go up."
Chunlan was about to follow but was stopped by Xiaolu.
"Why are you stopping me? I want to go up and help the princess change her clothes."
"It's okay, Chunlan, just wait downstairs."
"Yes, Princess."
Tu Qingyu went up step by step, and as soon as he went up, he saw Ming Chuji with his back to him.
She spoke first, "That little girl took me around in circles. I thought she was trying to take me somewhere. It turned out to be you, Brother Ming."
"Who can kidnap you, Princess Qi?" Ming Chuji's voice came with a slightly awkward tone. Tu Qingyu patted him and turned his body over.
Only then did I realize that his eyes had already turned red.
"Why are you crying?" She looked distressed.
It would have been fine if Tu Qingyu hadn't asked, but as soon as Ming Chuji asked, he couldn't control his tears.
He spoke with a choked voice, "Why did you lie to me?"
The eyes that Tu Qingyu had thought were beautiful from the beginning were now filled with crystal tears.
The expression on his face was hurt, stubborn, and disappointed.
She never knew that a man could look so beautiful when crying.
"Why are you crying?" She took a step forward and reached out to wipe the tears from his face. "When did I lie to you? And you didn't ask."
I never thought that he would turn his head away and said, "Don't touch me."
After he finished speaking, his hands hanging at his sides moved, and he actually wondered if his tone just now was too harsh.
He turned around and secretly glanced at Tu Qingyu, and saw Tu Qingyu lowering his head sadly, and suddenly panicked.
"Sister, I, I'm just sad. You're so smart, you must know that I like you. I've liked you since the first time I saw you..."
I don’t know if it’s because he’s too sad, but when he said these happy words, there wasn’t even a blush on his face.
"I originally thought that when my mother arrived in the capital, I would find a time to tell you clearly and ask you if I could go to your house to propose marriage. I never thought... you would be the Princess of Qi..."
She happened to be the Princess of Qi, and she happened to be a member of the royal family. Even if the King of Qi died, he seemed to have no chance to be with his sister.
Whenever he thought of this, his heart ached.
"I do know." Tu Qingyu lowered his head, his face also full of sadness, "otherwise, I wouldn't let you come to the manor to find me."
"I should have told you earlier that I was too greedy and always wanted to see you again.
I’m in the palace…”
At this point, she hesitated to speak, and finally sighed deeply, "Forget it, after all, I have let you down. From now on, you should forget me, find a daughter from a good family, and live a loving life with her."
Ming Chuji thought she would say something, but unexpectedly, she asked him to find a girl from a good family to live with.
What is he expecting?
Do you expect your sister to tell you that she likes you and wants you to take her away?
I knew it was impossible, but when I heard her say that, my heart still ached.
"So you came here on purpose today, didn't you?"
Otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence that he met the princess while just staying at his mother's place for a while?
"Yes." Tu Qingyu nodded. "I've thought about it and feel that we can't go on like this."
A self-deprecating smile played at the corner of his mouth. "That princess is truly amazing. You calculated the timing perfectly. Now that you've achieved your goal, when will you leave?"
Tu Qingyu didn't expect that this little puppy could be so sarcastic.
She was silent for a moment before she spoke, "Leave after the party."
"Yes." He tried his best to control himself and nodded slowly. "It's not good for the princess to leave the banquet for too long. This place is not completely deserted. Please come in, princess."
He made a serious face and made a gesture of invitation.
Tu Qingyu glanced at his still slightly trembling fingertips, said nothing, and walked away.
She came down from the attic, but her attention was always on the live broadcast provided by Dabao.
As she started to go downstairs, Ming Chuji's tears burst out like a dam.
After she had completely gone downstairs, the boy collapsed on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and cried silently.
Tsk, how pitiful.
Dabao: "Master, you broke the heart of an innocent boy."
Tu Qingyu: "Don't worry, I will compensate him later."
After returning from the Ming family's banquet, Ming Chuji never appeared again.
It is rumored that the young master of the Ming family has locked himself up to study for the Spring Examination and does not leave the house all day.
Tu Qingyu didn't care about these and concentrated on running his own shop.
After so many years, it is easy to open a few shops.
As long as you provide a plan and select the right person to manage the shop, you can be a hands-off boss.
A few months passed, her shop was booming, but there was still no sign of the little puppy.
She almost thought that her judgment was wrong.
In the main courtyard of the palace, King Qi was having a headache looking at the piles of account books.
"Whoever originally managed these account books should be held responsible now. This is giving me a headache."
The housekeeper bowed and replied, "Not long after you opened the mansion, the princess came in. Naturally, the household expenses were all managed by the princess. Later..."
Having said this, he didn't say anything further.
Huo Qixiao certainly remembered it. Later, Shu Muyun came into the mansion. After Shu Muyun cried and complained that she was abused in the mansion, he gave the power of housekeeper to Shu Muyun.
Thinking of this, his face darkened.
"Go find a few more accountants. I don't believe it. It's just a few account books. How can you not sort them out?"
"Your Highness, the accounts can be settled by the accountant, but there still needs to be someone in charge of all the arrangements in the mansion."
Huo Qixiao frowned and stared at the account book for a long time before finally saying, "Send it to the princess."
"This..." The housekeeper was almost shocked by his own prince's shamelessness, "I'm afraid the princess won't be willing to accept it."
Huo Qixiao: "She is the princess, and she is supposed to be in charge of the household affairs. If she doesn't take over, who will?"
"Of course it's your Miss Shu." When she found Tu Qingyu, she was eating homemade ice cream in the house. She answered without thinking.
Huo Qixiao was really furious, "You are my princess!"
"Oh." She rolled her eyes and continued eating.
He somehow understood the meaning of the eye roll, "Do you know I am the princess now?"
It has to be said that he felt regretful now that things had developed to this point.
During this period, every time he saw Tu Qingyu, he would be amazed, and the indescribable emotion in his heart would deepen.
