On the ornate wooden frame, there was a bird-shaped kite.
The kite, adorned with vibrant and exquisite paintings, was unforgettable at first glance, standing out particularly in the unassuming room of this man.
The bedroom was quiet, and Lu Ziyuan remained motionless, as if he were asleep. Zhong Muyu wasn't in a hurry, so she walked to the shelf and carefully examined the kite.
It wasn't until we got closer that we realized this kite was different from ordinary kites. Its wooden frame was designed with some rather complex mechanisms, which allowed the kite to fly more flexibly and stably.
But the more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.
Just as Zhong Muyu was about to take it down for a closer look, a slight cough interrupted her thoughts.
"How long are you going to stand there? Don't even think about touching anything here."
It turned out he had been awake the whole time, but he was feeling unwell and didn't want to talk to Zhong Muyu.
Zhong Muyu withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes at him: "I thought you were asleep and didn't want to disturb you."
"How dare you say that? How could I possibly sleep like this!"
Lu Ziyuan's voice suddenly rose, and Zhong Muyu walked over and took out the food from the table next to him.
The rich aroma made Lu Ziyuan even hungrier.
"I've reminded you before, but you didn't control yourself and blamed me for eating too much. Have some porridge, it'll make you feel better."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Lu Ziyuan sat up and began to eat hurriedly.
He was indeed hungry, and at that moment he felt that Zhong Muyu's cooking tasted especially delicious, though he didn't know why.
If I had to describe it, it would be that it has a warm feeling to it.
Zhong Muyu remained quiet throughout. After he finished eating, she packed her things to leave, but Lu Ziyuan called out to her, "Wait, bring some over for dinner too..."
Zhong Muyu turned around: "Your Highness, how long do you plan to freeload off me?"
Lu Ziyuan quickly retorted, "You are now my princess consort, so you're not freeloading! The royal palace will give you a monthly allowance."
"Would I cook for you for a few months' salary? Don't worry, although divorce is not an option, I will find another way. In short, don't bother me too much. I won't stay in this palace for long."
Zhong Muyu finished speaking in an annoyed tone, picked up the food box, and left.
Lu Ziyuan stood there, stunned, not expecting her to be so resolute.
Of course, Lu Ziyuan still blamed all of this on Zhong Muyu, his deceased ex-lover.
He can't forget his ex-lover, and thinking about it makes him angry!
Not long after Zhong Muyu came out, Su Zhirou kept watching the movements inside Xiuyu House from behind a bush outside.
Lu Ziyuan's behavior has made her feel threatened, and she has to start thinking of countermeasures.
...
afternoon.
Perhaps fearing that Zhong Muyu wouldn't cook for him, after returning to Xinxiang Courtyard, Lu Ziyuan immediately sent Chengfeng to work as Zhong Muyu's subordinate.
Looking at Chengfeng, who was waiting for his fate, Zhong Muyu said with some dissatisfaction: "Fine, I'll just send you to monitor me. Can't I just not cook for him?"
Chengfeng lowered his head and said, "That's not what Your Highness meant. Your Highness sent me here simply to do some work."
Compared to last time, Chengfeng had no complaints this time. The princess treated the servants very well and could cook all kinds of delicious food. There were no tiring or dangerous tasks here, so he was happy to stay with the princess.
Zhong Muyu waved her hand: "Go find Granny Zhang to make arrangements. Clean your own room, and take the food to the Prince at dinner time."
"Yes, sir!"
Chengfeng seemed very happy and went to find Granny Zhang in a flash, acting as if he knew the place like the back of his hand.
Zhong Muyu felt a headache coming on again.
After preparing dinner, Zhong Muyu was about to have Chengfeng deliver it when she remembered the kite she had seen at Lu Ziyuan's place during the day.
If we're talking about unique things, what unique things hasn't she seen as a person from the future? Yet, that kite left a deep impression on her.
However, she couldn't recall any connection between herself and the kite. The original owner's memories were somewhat hazy, but subconsciously she felt that the kite must be related to her.
How come something related to the original owner is with Lu Ziyuan?
Just as Chengfeng took the food box, Zhong Muyu suddenly said, "Wait, I'll go this time too."
Chengfeng was astonished: "The Princess Consort is going too? That's wonderful!"
He would be happy to see the two men mend their relationship.
"Don't be so happy, I just have something else to do."
Chengfeng assumed that she was just ashamed to admit it, and that Lu Ziyuan's condition had improved a lot after the two arrived at Xiuyu House.
It wasn't a serious illness to begin with; she could have solved it with a single pill. But she wanted to make Lu Ziyuan drink more bitter medicine.
Upon seeing Zhong Muyu, Lu Ziyuan said, "I thought you wouldn't come."
"Let's think about it and come, just to avoid any mistakes. I don't like arguing or explaining."
Lu Ziyuan lowered his eyes: "You can trust Chengfeng."
Zhong Muyu didn't respond to him, but instead took out all the food.
She remained silent, and Lu Ziyuan did not speak further; only the faint sounds of bowls and chopsticks filled the room.
Not long after, Lu Ziyuan said, "There is something I need to tell you. We will be setting off for Yuanjing the day after tomorrow. Father Emperor will be holding a sacrificial ceremony, and I will also be reporting on the situation in my fiefdom."
"Yes, I will prepare it."
Zhong Muyu simply agreed indifferently. In her memory, there were all sorts of events held here every year, and now that she was the Princess Consort of Ling, the number of events she would need to participate in would only increase.
Right now, Zhong Muyu has been secretly observing the kite.
But no matter how hard I racked my brains, I couldn't figure out why I cared so much.
While Lu Ziyuan was eating, Zhong Muyu went straight over to see what was going on.
Just then, Lu Ziyuan said in a deep voice, "Don't touch that thing!"
Zhong Muyu looked at him; he seemed a little angry.
"What? Is this kite very important to you?"
"This is no ordinary kite, and I certainly don't want you to touch it!"
Zhong Muyu quickly took a step back: "I won't touch it, I'm just curious. You can eat in peace."
It seems this kite is very important to Lu Ziyuan.
Zhong Muyu decided not to dwell on this matter for now. After Lu Ziyuan finished eating, Zhong Muyu placed a pill in front of him.
"Eat this in a bit, and you'll be basically fully recovered by tomorrow."
"What's this?"
"A medicine specifically for your problem."
Lu Ziyuan clearly didn't believe it: "How could I not know you also knew medicine?"
"You think you know me that well? Take it or leave it. If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away."
Zhong Muyu finished speaking in a bad mood, picked up the food box and left, while Lu Ziyuan examined the small pill repeatedly.
He couldn't see anything wrong with her, but Zhong Muyu wouldn't poison him, so he decided to trust her.
Not long after taking the pills, Lu Ziyuan felt much better all over, and his buttocks were no longer burning.
He couldn't help but feel angry. Zhong Muyu clearly had the medicine but still wanted to watch him suffer. It was definitely a deliberate act of revenge!
If he hadn't brought up the sacrificial ceremony today, Zhong Muyu definitely wouldn't have given him the medicine!
Thinking about it this way, Lu Ziyuan was so angry he was practically fuming.
