"I did."

Xiao Chengyi's expression was calm, but his tone was firm.

He admitted this fact very straightforwardly, and a warm smile appeared on Ruyu's face.

"I'll do what you say?"

Mu Qianyu glared at him fiercely, she wanted to pull out the hairpin again and stab him a few times, this time it was not as simple as piercing her robes.

"You don't seem to have a choice."

Xiao Chengyi's gaze once again fixed onto the clothes in her hands. There was still that faint smile on his face, as warm as the sun in March.

"Who says I have no choice?"

"But you had already promised Royal Mother."

"…"

Mu Qianyu turned her head away and no longer spoke. She decided to ignore this black-hearted fellow.

"How about this, if you make clothes for me, I'll give you something interesting to do?"

Xiao Chengyi looked at her angry face, and the smile on his face became even wider.

"Nope."

Mu Qianyu still refused to look away.

However, there was a trace of annoyance in that voice.

"Then what about Royal Mother?"

Xiao Chengyi asked.

"You do it."

Mu Qianyu turned around angrily, stuffed her clothes into Xiao Chengyi's embrace, and fiercely gouged him out with his eyes: "I want to leave the palace."

"If you don't want to do it, then don't, I'm just joking with you, I'll tell Royal Mother about it later."

Seeing that she was truly angry, the Prince Li had no choice but to compromise and unwillingly put the clothings in his hands to the side.

"Eat first. Why are you in such a hurry to leave the palace? Live in the palace for two days. Royal Mother likes you so much, I definitely won't let you go now."

Xiao Chengyi looked at her with deep and gentle eyes.

Raising her head, and meeting Yun Che's gentle gaze, Mu Qianyu was slightly stunned, and her expression became dazed for a moment.

"I'll make you a black one."

Sighing slightly, he took the fabric and waved it in front of the man, snorting, "That's it."

"Why is it black?"

Prince Li was troubled, he did not really like that color.

"Because your heart is dark."

Mu Qianyu extended a finger and fiercely stabbed it into Xiao Chengyi's chest, then raised his eyes and asked: "What did you want to tell me?"

Looking at her interested expression, Xiao Chengyi knew that she had agreed to make him clothes for the sake of listening to his story.

"The people from the Minister Mansion were not idle for the past two days. Madame Wang sent people to look for you with great fanfare, saying that you would not return tonight."

Xiao Chengyi explained with a smile.

"What do you mean, you want to ruin my reputation?"

Mu Qianyu raised her brows, her eyes cold.

"If it's destroyed, so be it. I don't have a good reputation anyway."

Mu Qianyu laid her body on the table, raised her head and looked at Xiao Chengyi: "What did you do?"

She didn't believe that this person wouldn't do anything.

Wasn't the reason this person insisted on bringing her to the palace was to guard against this move from the Madame Wang.

"A few days ago, Luo Jin went to lead the horse, but he did not manage to find out about it.

Xiao Chengyi continued to laugh.

Mu Qianyu blinked, a trace of light flashed past her eyes, and the corner of her lips curled up slightly. Her mood became quite a bit happier.

The maidservants brought the dishes over, they were all the best dishes in the royal kitchen.

Seeing food, Mu Qianyu's eyes lit up again, and she tossed all her worries to the back of her mind.

She admitted to living here, and everything was fine except for the awkwardness, especially the food.

"Drink more chicken soup."

Xiao Chengyi reached out and brought out a white jade cup for her chicken soup.

The chicken soup was still steaming and had a nice fragrance to it.

Looking at the chicken soup in front of him, Mu Qianyu was immediately stunned.

Then he smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Thank you."

It was a very soft voice, so soft that it was almost inaudible. It brought with it a bit of warmth and a bit of worry.

Xiao Chengyi was keenly aware of the change in her emotions, but he did not say much as he continued to feed her.

"Why didn't you wear that robe yesterday?"

Mu Qianyu suddenly turned her head to look at his clothes, and the tip of her eyebrows slightly raised.

Xiao Chengyi did not speak.

"Didn't you say it looked good? Since it looks good, why don't you wear it?"

Mu Qianyu was unrelenting, she was simply causing trouble.

"It does look pretty, but it's just not suitable to be worn out."

Xiao Chengyi also lowered his head to look at his robes.

"Since it looks good, then so be it."

Mu Qianyu still looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Why don't we make a bet?"

Xiao Chengyi thought for a while, then laughed.

"What kind of bet?"

Mu Qianyu blinked her eyes, somewhat interested.

"If I wore the same clothes yesterday, would you agree to one of my requests? If I didn't wear the same clothes yesterday, would you agree to one of your requests?"

Xiao Chengyi laughed and asked, his eyes warm.

Mu Qianyu turned her head and thought for a moment, then asked: "What request?"

"I didn't think of that. We can talk about it in the future."

Xiao Chengyi considered for a moment before replying.

Hearing that, Mu Qianyu fiercely rolled her eyes, took her chopsticks and struck the empty plate in front of him: "Then I'll lose, for a small matter, I'll give you a condition for free, and I don't know what that condition is."

"The conditions that won't make things difficult for you."

Xiao Chengyi thought for a while, then continued, and gave some food to Mu Qianyu.

Mu Qianyu looked at him, his expression cunning.

After a moment, he nodded and said, "Then you must wear those clothes and walk around the palace a few times so that everyone can see you."

She did not believe that a dignified Prince Li would walk around in clothes full of holes, it would be weird if he did not die from embarrassment.

"Alright."

Xiao Chengyi considered for a moment, then nodded his head and agreed.

"Palm strike as an oath!"

Mu Qianyu also raised her brows, extending her jade-like little hand.

"Alright!"

Xiao Chengyi laughed, with a gentle expression, he extended his hand and clapped.

That night, Mu Qianyu basically did not fall asleep, and kept thinking about the wager on the second day.

It was rare for her to get up early and run over to Xian Consort.

He was still holding the piece of material from yesterday and had already begun cutting it.

She made the black one and refused to change it.

"Empress, when is the Prince coming back?"

After waiting for a long time and seeing that no one was around, Mu Qianyu was unavoidably anxious.

"I don't know either."

Xian Consort looked at her anxious expression and asked with a smile: "You miss Yi Er a lot."

"Mm, I really do."

Not only did he want to, but he also wanted to. He didn't know what effect that fellow would have by walking around the palace in a robe with several holes in it.

Or maybe he didn't wear it at all, but won.

Then, what request did he have?

Mu Qianyu was only thinking about the bet, and didn't realize that the Xian Consort was smiling at her the entire time.

After waiting for another half a day, there was still no one.

Mu Qianyu was a little impatient, she stopped making the clothes in her hands and lazily laid on the table, muttering: "Are you afraid of losing, and you don't dare to come?"

"Lose what?"

Xian Consort suddenly asked.

Mu Qianyu was startled, she regained her senses and smiled at Xian Consort, but did not know how to explain.

"Empress, the Prince has come."

Just as he was thinking, Xiao Chengyi had finally arrived.

Mu Qianyu immediately turned her head, her eyes staring at the outside without blinking. She wanted to see whether that man had worn clothes that were full of holes yesterday.

Not long after, light footsteps rang out, and Xiao Chengyi, dressed in a white robe, walked in without a speck of dust.
