"Yes, I will send someone to deliver the letter to the prince right away."
Linglong bowed and quickly left the yard.
By the time she came back, Aunt Hua had already cleaned up the house.
"Miss, everything has been arranged."
When Linglong came to reply, Zhao Yunzhu was walking around the house.
Although this house cannot be compared with the Wang family's, let alone the royal palace in Chang'an, this house now belongs to her and Qin Zong.
Without being disturbed by outsiders, she felt much more comfortable.
"Okay, have someone prepare a nice feast tonight and reward everyone today," Zhao Yunzhu reminded her. Suddenly, she remembered something and stopped Madam Hua who was about to go out to give instructions. "Madam, get some silver. Everyone has worked hard today. Give everyone a tael of silver as a reward."
"Okay, I'll take note of this."
Nanny Hua nodded with satisfaction, thinking that the eldest lady had become much more considerate after all.
After dinner at night, she went to bed early.
Perhaps because she had just moved into a new house, she was not quite used to it. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The moon outside the window rose slowly, the dusk grew darker, and the yard became eerily quiet.
From time to time, a few low hums could be heard from the birds resting under the eaves.
I don't know when Zhao Yunzhu fell asleep.
It was still dark when Zhao Yunzhu's faint snoring could be heard from the room.
In the dark night, the door was quietly pushed open, making a faint creaking sound.
Zhao Yunzhu turned over, his back facing outward, and did not wake up.
Until the brocade quilt on her body was carefully lifted up, although there was a charcoal fire in the room, Zhao Yunzhu was still woken up by a gust of cold wind that blew into her body.
She opened her eyes hazily and turned sideways to see what was going on.
But the man waved his sleeves and extinguished the candle on the bedside stool, and the room fell into endless darkness.
Zhao Yunzhu shuddered, and all her sleepiness disappeared.
She opened her eyes wide, trying to see the scene clearly.
Suddenly, someone hugged her tightly. Before she could scream, a familiar voice came to her ears, "It's me, don't be afraid."
Qin Zongzhi's voice was a little hoarse and low.
"It's so late, why are you in such a hurry to come back? The road is difficult to walk on at night, it would be better to come back during the day."
Zhao Yunzhu put her hands around Qin Zongzhi's neck and buried her head in his chest.
Trying to use her body temperature to dispel the coldness in his body.
"Today is your first day living here, after all. I don't want you to stay alone in your empty room."
His tone was a little warmer, and even the dark night could not resist his scorching gaze.
Zhao Yunzhu let out a sweet laugh, clearly unaware of his thoughts. "It's just a temporary place to stay, why bother with all this?"
"How can that be! After all, it's a night of love, and I can't let you stay alone in your empty room."
Qin Zongzhi's breathing was a little rapid, and his hands were wandering over her body.
Zhao Yunzhu knew how anxious he was to come back, and she didn't want to upset him.
I just let him do whatever he wants.
…
A rooster crows at dawn outside the window.
Zhao Yunzhu felt sore all over and raised her hands to rub her eyes, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that there was no one beside her.
I feel inexplicably lost in my heart.
Realizing her own loss, she smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Did I have a nightmare yesterday?
But her physical discomfort made her doubt whether he had really come back last night.
Nanny Hua and Linglong, who were guarding outside, heard the noise in the house and guessed that the eldest lady might have woken up.
He hurriedly brought in hot water to serve.
Aunt Hua saw the young lady sitting on the bed and walked over to her with a smile. "The prince specifically instructed us not to disturb her rest today. I didn't expect her to wake up so early."
"The prince came back last night?" Zhao Yunzhu was a little confused.
"Yes, the prince went back before dawn." Nanny Hua saw the clue and replied with a smile.
"Did the prince tell me anything else?"
Nanny Hua thought for a moment and replied, "The prince did say that it would be inconvenient for me to come back these days, so I asked Miss to host a housewarming banquet to thank Lord Wang and his family."
Zhao Yunzhu said "oh" and Linglong had already put clothes on her.
While washing up, she was thinking about the thank-you banquet.
"By the way, how is the house being cleaned up?"
"Everything was already packed yesterday. Why are you asking this, Miss?"
Linglong was holding a copper basin and preparing to go out.
"We won't be here for much longer anyway. Now that everything is packed, we'll send invitations to various places in the city today. In two days, we'll hold a banquet to thank everyone for their care for the prince these days."
Zhao Yunzhu frowned and thought for a while. Now that this matter was settled, there would be nothing else to worry about.
"Okay, I'll have someone deliver the invitation right away."
"By the way, I've asked a cook from the city to come over so you don't have to continue to tire yourself out."
"Yeah, okay."
Linglong agreed with a smile.
Zhao Yunzhu was warming herself in front of the charcoal fire, her eyes accidentally falling on the desk beside her.
The desk was smooth and tidy, but she always felt like something was missing?
Thinking about it over and over again.
Nanny Hua was bringing in food with a smile when she saw the eldest lady staring at the desk with a frown on her face.
She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, "Miss, do you feel like something is missing?"
"Well, I always feel like something is missing, but I can't remember where it is." Zhao Yunzhu pondered.
Nanny Wang placed the food on the table and said with a smile, "The books that Miss brought from Miss Wang yesterday were all taken away by the prince early this morning, so the desk is empty."
