Qingfeng and Qingluan's expressions changed, and they quickly saluted: "Greetings, Prince. Shouldn't you be attending the palace banquet?"
Jing Yuchen narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them. "What do you two think the Crown Prince's Mansion is? You made such a big noise by scolding someone? And you disturbed Princess Tianmi?"
Qingfeng and Qingluan quickly knelt on the ground, their expressions terrified. "We didn't know the Tufan princess would be coming. It's these people who gave our master bad charcoal. The smoke is enough to choke people, and it always goes out. Even if a concubine's monthly salary is small, she shouldn't... use this kind of charcoal, right?"
"It's clearly these servants who are cutting into our income and deliberately making things difficult for our concubine. Please, Your Highness, help me!"
But Jing Yuchen said with a cold expression, "Everyone knows how much tribute is often paid to Tufan. The Prince's Mansion should set an example. The monthly salary should have been reduced by half long ago! Just be patient and the winter will pass!"
He then looked at the male servants standing by and said, "These two have disturbed Princess Tufan. Take them away and give each of them twenty lashes to serve as a warning to others!"
After saying that, Jing Yuchen turned around and walked away with big strides.
In Ni Yueshan's courtyard, Ni Yueshan personally applied ointment to the two of them. "You two are really unlucky. You are venting my anger. What a coincidence that the princess and the prince who were supposed to be at the palace banquet have returned."
Qingfeng and Qingluan lay on the bed, pouting with great grievance. Qingfeng said, "It must be that princess who said something in front of the prince, so the prince beat her in front of the princess!"
As Ni Yueshan was applying the medicine, Qingfeng cried out, "Ouch!" Ni Yueshan sighed helplessly, "Don't speculate if you haven't heard it yourself. The princess left the table early, perhaps because she couldn't handle the alcohol. Now that she's staying at the Crown Prince's residence, it seems the marriage is inevitable!"
Ni Yueshan lowered his eyes and applied the ointment with a calm expression. Qingfeng and Qingluan just felt depressed.
"Master, why aren't you sad at all?"
Ni Yueshan said helplessly: "Don't think too much, I just want to take good care of the baby now."
On the second day, the servants in the mansion got up early and were very curious about the princess. Qiu Tianmi was not as difficult to get along with as they imagined, and she shared the food that Tufan brought with the servants.
The servants were surprised and were flattered to accept and taste it.
Qiu Tianmi raised her lips slightly, "Did the prince go to the morning court?"
"Princess, it's still time and the Crown Prince hasn't left yet. Would you like to have dinner with him?"
Qiu Tianmi was sitting on a chair, surrounded by a group of servants. Although it was her first day there, she seemed to be very familiar with the place and had no restraint at all. She even acted like the hostess of the Prince's Mansion.
Before she could speak, a voice rang out from outside: "Of course we have to eat together!"
Qiu Tianmi and the servants looked outside and saw Jing Yuchen, dressed in court robes, walking slowly towards them.
He was born with an evil and charming face, and now he was wearing an orthodox four-clawed python robe, which added a bit of solemnity. His cold demeanor made people feel that it was difficult to get along with him.
Qiu Tianmi stood up and bowed slightly as a greeting.
The other servants naturally bowed respectfully and then retreated quietly.
Jing Yuchen looked at Qiu Tianmi and said helplessly, "Although this is a quiet place, I am the prince, but you are the princess. Our status is the same. You don't have to bow when you see me in the future! If the princess is willing, why don't you have a meal together? After that, I will go to court."
Qiu Tianmi covered her mouth and chuckled softly, a hint of anger appearing on her beautiful and refined face. "I don't think it's that early now. Aren't you afraid of being late?"
"If I can share breakfast with the princess, I'm not afraid of being late!"
Qiu Tianmi's eyes flickered, and she finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's have dinner together!"
During the meal, Jing Yuchen didn't say much and seemed to finish his meal as quickly as possible. Qiu Tianmi pretended not to notice and ate slowly. Then she reminded him, "If you go to the palace to see my brother, please ask the prince to take him out of the palace. I really want to take a walk around!"
"If Princess wants to travel around the capital, why not let me accompany you!"
Jing Yuchen volunteered, and Qiu Tianmi tucked the hair behind her ears. "I'm really sorry, Prince, you must be very busy..."
"Father suggested yesterday that the princess live in the Crown Prince's Mansion so that I could take you on a tour of the capital. Princess, don't worry about anything else!"
Jing Yuchen then stood up and picked up his officer's hat: "It's getting late, I'll leave the house first!"
