Chapter 62: Hating iron but not steel

In the middle of the night, Mu Qingqing changed into black clothes and said to Qinghe and Banxia, ​​"I'm going to the Han Palace. If my mother wants to look for me, please help me stop her!"

"Yes, miss!"

Banxia pulled Qinghe who was about to speak, and Qinghe watched the young lady leave angrily.

"Sister Banxia, ​​why are you stopping me? How can a young lady go to Prince Han's mansion in the middle of the night? And why don't you take me with you?"

Banxia couldn't help laughing. The last sentence was probably what she wanted to say.

She actually felt that it was not a good idea to go to Prince Han's Mansion at this time, but she couldn't stop the young lady, and Banxia was even less likely to stop anyone!

"Okay, no one can change what the lady has decided."

Mu Qingqing used her lightness skills to avoid the patrolling officers and soldiers in the capital and came to Prince Han's Mansion.

The wall of Prince Han's Mansion was very high. After Mu Qingqing climbed up and jumped down, she suddenly heard a slight clicking sound.

Mu Qingqing looked down and saw that a bamboo tube had been crushed by her.

When she was considering whether to destroy the body, she suddenly saw Chen Yao with a sour face.

When their eyes met, Mu Qingqing suddenly remembered that the bamboo tube was still under her feet.

He quickly moved his right foot away, raised his right hand, and greeted awkwardly, "Hey, Guard Chen, are you still awake?"

Chen Yao had a gloomy face. He silently put away the bamboo tube and turned away.

Mu Qingqing touched her nose in embarrassment. She was actually caught. Now that she was here, she couldn't go back. She had to follow Chen Yao reluctantly.

The Prince Han's Mansion was silent, with only the occasional call of the spring silkworms. However, Mu Qingqing could clearly feel that with every step she took, there were at least three pairs of eyes watching her.

Mu Qingqing wanted to ask, are these guards so idle? Are they just staring at her?

Mu Qingqing's visit in the middle of the night alarmed Chen Yao, and the prince naturally knew about it.

The atmosphere in Prince Han's Mansion was very depressing today. The prince was normal, but Chen Yao was in a very bad mood today. He had already taken the guards for training.

Everyone was even more curious about Mu Qingqing, who was picked up by Chen Yao himself. She was the eldest daughter of the Mu family and perhaps the future Princess Han. After all, Chen Yao's attitude determined everything.

Finally I arrived at the door of the study. There was a faint yellow light coming through the window, and a man's figure was reflected on the window, and he seemed to be reading a book.

Chen Yao went into the study and reported, then let Mu Qingqing in.

Chen Yao didn't say a word to Mu Qingqing along the way. Although she is not a talkative person, it would be okay for her to at least ask her the purpose of coming here.
As soon as Mu Qingqing entered the room, she saw the tall figure, who was wearing a middle-length shirt, with a smile on his lips and his eyes were normal brown.

Mu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him questioningly, "You seem to know I'm coming?"

King Han poured her a cup of tea to help her get rid of the coldness of the night.

Mu Qingqing took it without hesitation, took a sip, and waited quietly for his answer.

"Not surprisingly!"

Mu Qingqing pouted. This person was not interesting at all. She admitted that she was just a little curious, so she came to visit in the middle of the night.

"What do you want to ask? I'll tell you!"

After getting the promise, Mu Qingqing quickly cleared her throat and asked, "Was it you that day?"

"Yes!"

King Han said affirmatively.

"Really? You were totally different back then!"

Thinking of this man's lecherous appearance that day and his intimate actions, Mu Qingqing couldn't help but blush.

"It is indeed me. That person is both me and not me. He is the second consciousness in my body, more paranoid than me..."

King Han did not hide anything, and told everyone from the time he was poisoned in childhood to the awakening of his second consciousness in the later period, Yi Yi and Mu Qingqing arrived.

His face was calm, but he was very nervous. This was too bizarre. Would Mu Qingqing believe it? Would she think he was a pervert?
Mu Qingqing's reaction was very calm. There are all kinds of strange things in the world, so it's not surprising that there are one or two strange diseases.

"Then when your second consciousness awakened, did you know it yourself?" Mu Qingqing asked casually out of curiosity.

King Han thought too much. Thinking of his own behavior that day, he was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "I know everything, but I couldn't make any decisions at that time."

As he said this, he looked at Mu Qingqing cautiously. His behavior that day was so obvious, he wondered what Mu Qingqing meant and whether she would dislike it.
Mu Qingqing had never expected this. Now that she knew the reason, she just needed to confirm that it was King Han.

The two of them sat on both sides and discussed from time to time. Just then, Chen Yao knocked on the door.

"come in!"

Chen Yao walked in without looking around, holding a piece of cake in his hand and placed it in front of Mu Qingqing.

Mu Qingqing's eyes lit up. These pastries were so exquisite.

"King Han, is this for me to eat?"

Mu Qingqing was really a little hungry.

"Well, I'm tired after all this trouble. Let me eat something first."

"Great."

Mu Qingqing picked up a piece with chopsticks, put it in her mouth and took a bite. A light fruity aroma lingered between her lips and teeth, sweet but not greasy.

"It's delicious. He is worthy of being the chef of Prince Han's Mansion. He is even better than the one in our Mu Mansion!"

Mu Qingqing puffed out her little mouth and spoke with a smile. She looked really hungry and ate very quickly, but still elegantly.

Chen Yao felt very uncomfortable when he saw her eating so contentedly.

The prince specially ordered someone to make it. He had guessed that someone would come, so he asked people to start preparing early. There are many steps to making this pastry.

When he went to get it just now, the people in the kitchen were still asking, who is it for?

Chen Yao said with a dark face that he didn't know him.

In addition to the pastries, there is also a bowl of specially made fruit tea with a strong fruit flavor, such as lychee, which is quite sweet.

Mu Qingqing was very satisfied with the meal and the drink was delicious.

King Han's eyes were always on her, and he looked at her gently.

"If you like, can I send the chef to the Mu Mansion?"

Mu Qingqing was indeed tempted, but after a moment she shook her head rationally, "No, they are cooking well, and we can't ask them to move to another place, right? Let's eat there next time I come."

When King Han heard that Mu Qingqing would come again, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Qingqing was about to leave. She said to Chen Yao, "Guard Chen, I'm so sorry for stepping on your things. How much is the money for them? I'll give it to you as compensation."

King Han didn't wait for Chen Yao to answer, and said, "It's okay, it's just an ordinary bamboo tube."

Is it really ordinary? Mu Qingqing looked at Chen Yao's face which twisted for a moment and couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Chen Yao couldn't help cursing his master for being a spendthrift in his heart, because that thing was made of very expensive bamboo and was specially used to convey important messages.

Only when you manage the household do you know how expensive firewood and rice are. Never mind, I'll take whatever amount of silver my master asks for. For the sake of my master's pursuit of the future princess, I'll do my best.

Prince Han personally escorted Mu Qingqing out of the mansion and watched Mu Qingqing sitting on the wall waving goodbye to him.

King Han felt a tenderness in his heart, thinking it would be nice if they could meet every day.

It’s not good to always let his future princess climb over the wall, so he will go to Mu’s house next time.

Mu Qingqing just happened to say that she likes pastries, so I'll send some to her next time.

Seeing his master so happy, Chen Yao felt very disappointed.
