On the way back, she couldn't help but excitedly talk about how good-looking Crown Prince Dongchen was, how our Crown Prince Beiyue is not bad either, and how his poems were praised by everyone … He was extremely excited.

Chu Mengli felt a bit irritated. She had been a bit too impulsive today. Although she had managed to get her revenge, she had made quite a number of enemies. In the future, things would no longer be peaceful.

After dinner, Chu Mengli was used to taking a bath every night. She took a fragrant petal bath with her hair hanging loose, and Zhong Xia put on a nightgown for her, and the two of them returned to the bedroom. When they entered the inner room, they saw a figure sitting at the table.

"Miss, then this servant will stand guard outside the door." Zhong Xia withdrew, giving Mo Qingchen a warning glance before slowly closing the door. After that, he stood guard outside the door, supporting his ears with his hands.

"How did you know it was mine?" Mo Qingchen placed his hands on the table. His beautiful hands supported his smiling face and his gentle expression was completely different from his previous attitude towards Zhong Xia.

"The fragrance of the lotus on your body and your clothes." Chu Mengli took the cotton handkerchief and wiped her hair, not even looking at him.

The smile on Mo Qingchen's face intensified as she smiled under the lights, "Then how do you know that I won't do anything to you? After all, I'm just a man who broke into your room at night, and you're not afraid? "

Chu Mengli raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "What are you afraid of?" What can you do? Stealing money? You, a dignified Prince Dongchen, will never lack money! Lecherous? As the most beautiful man in the world, you, Mo Qingchen, are surrounded by countless beauties. With just a single glance, you make them all scramble for you, step by step, how could you be interested in me? "

Mo Qingchen was amused by those words. Her slender fingers stroked her smooth chin as she seriously sized up Chu Mengli, "What you said makes sense. It's a good description as well. I am not interested in bean sprouts."

Chu Mengli automatically blocked Mo Qingchen's mischievous gaze and teasing words. After finding the book she didn't finish yesterday, she laid on the soft couch and read it, ignoring him.

"You're not chasing me away?" Wasn't a girl from a noble family supposed to chase an unfamiliar man out of her room?

"If I chase you away, you will listen to me. Will you leave?" Chu Mengli raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

"No way!" Mo Qingchen pondered for a moment.

"Then why would I waste my saliva?" Glancing at him, she returned her gaze to the book.

Mo Qingchen stared at Chu Mengli with eyes that were focused on reading. Her half-wet hair was like a piece of silk that made him want to reach out and touch it. Her small, awl-like face shone under the light and was peaceful and beautiful.

Neither of them spoke. One was reading, the other was reading. Only the occasional crackle of the candle flame could be heard.

The light in Mo Qingchen's eyes was clear, yet it was clearly imprinted with Chu Mengli's shadow. There was doubt in the depths of her eyes.

Hidden in the shadows, he saw his master's eyes turning softer and gentler. Thinking about his master's abnormal day, he couldn't help but secretly size Chu Mengli up. He had already checked up on her during the day, but there was nothing out of the ordinary about her. Why was Master so interested in her?

Two hours later, Chu Mengli finished reading the book and was about to go to bed when she saw Mo Qingchen still sitting there, frowning, "Why haven't you left yet?" His tone was slightly dissatisfied.

"Aren't you curious about what I'm here for?" Mo Qingchen asked.

"If you're not curious, don't tell me. I don't want to know." The more he knew, the faster he would die.

"You are different from others. You are very interesting."

"Sorry, I'm sorry to have caught your interest. The door is over there, so let's go." Chu Mengli's expression suddenly changed and her voice turned cold.

"Is this how you treat the people who helped you out during the day?" Mo Qingchen was unsatisfied with Chu Mengli's nonchalant attitude.

"Help me?" Chu Mengli mockingly looked at Mo Qingchen and smiled, "Do you know how much hatred you've drawn for me today? How many enemies are you going to build for me? "Maybe one day I will be smashed to death by a flower pot while I was walking on the road …" Just thinking about it made him angry.

Mo Qingchen's eyes stared coldly at Chu Mengli as though they were the depths of a spring. The corners of his mouth curled into a straight line as he remained silent.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This was the first time someone dared to talk to their master like this and still be alive. His heart was sweating for Chu Mengli.

Chu Mengli angrily glared at him.

Mo Qingchen lowered her eyes, causing others to be unable to see her expression, "You will be fine." After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Chu Mengli's reaction before flying out of the window.

"You're crazy!" Chu Mengli glared at him and opened the door to see that Zhong Xia was still there. She waved for Zhong Xia to go back to sleep and went to bed as well.

The next morning, Chu Mengli was doing her own morning exercise in the yard. Chu Zhennan arrived before they even had breakfast. He was sitting at the table, deep in thought as he looked at Chu Mengli.

Chu Mengli poured tea for him and got Xin'er to make some honey water for him.

"Little girl Li, do you know the Crown Prince of the Eastern Chens?" Chu Zhennan asked a bit cautiously.

"I don't know him!" Chu Mengli took a sip of her honey water and found Chu Zhennan's appearance to be quite funny.

"Then why did he say that yesterday?" Chu Zhennan mumbled to himself. He was afraid that Chu Mengli would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained, "It's not that father doesn't believe you, it's just that I'm afraid of you getting hurt!"

"I know," he said as he put down the empty cup. "Dad, don't worry, it's fine, he might just be interested in us for a while, or it might just be meddling in his business, I'll try my best to avoid him in the future. Moreover, he's a foreign country's crown prince, and I'm just a concubine, we won't have any interactions in the future, right?"

After Chu Zhennan heard this, he also felt that this made sense and gradually relaxed, "You're right, Crown Prince Dongchen is a stunning and decisive man. He is indeed a good man, but his identity …"

"Daughter knows what da-da means, and she agrees with @@ Chu Mengli raised three of her fingers.

Chu Zhennan was tickled by her mischievous smile as he shook his head helplessly.

"Dad, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Hmm? "What is it?" Chu Zhennan smiled at Chu Mengli, as if he would agree as soon as she said it.

"Look at my daughter's body, it's already fine. She hasn't left the mansion in her entire life!" Can I go out often in the future? "Hmm?" He couldn't keep sneaking out. This wasn't a good idea for long. If he let Madame Bai and Chu Mengdie find out about this, it would be best if he could get Chu Zhennan's permission and leave openly.

Chu Mengli looked at Chu Zhennan with her big, wet eyes, blinking. She had a pitiful expression on her face as she rubbed her hands together.

"But, a little girl like you …" Although he couldn't bear his daughter acting like a spoiled child with a soft heart, he was still worried about her safety.

"Daddy!" Good daddy! It's all right, please! I always take the heart and midsummer with me when I go out. " Chu Mengli grabbed Chu Zhennan's sleeve and shook it.

Chu Zhennan looked at Chu Mengli hesitating for a long time, but eventually surrendered anyway. The two agreed that they had to inform him before leaving the residence, and that they had to come back for dinner. Third, because Chu Zhennan was worried about her safety, he gave her two hidden guards. Every time she went out, she could not leave their sight.

After sending off Chu Zhennan, Chu Mengli let out a long sigh, despising herself for being cute and coquettish. She felt a chill down her spine just for the sake of leaving the mansion!

He changed his clothes and ate his breakfast. Tell Corey to get Midsummer.

"Come out!" Chu Mengli took a sip of mint tea.

Two black figures soundlessly appeared in front of Chu Mengli.

"Your subordinate is dressed in plain clothes."

"Your subordinate's wind!"

"Greetings, Master!" The two of them clasped their fists and knelt on one knee.

Chu Mengli sized up the two people. They were dressed in plain clothes, and they were both women's clothes. They were handsome and had a sharp expression on their face. The man called Feng Jian's sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes also seemed very steady.

Chu Mengli nodded in satisfaction. She knew how difficult it was to cultivate a hidden guard, and Chu Zhennan only had ten people by his side. These ten people not only wanted to protect him, they also wanted to gather information and help Chu Zhennan. Chu Zhenan had given him two, it was enough to show his love.

"Father gave you to me today. From today onwards, you two will have to acknowledge me as your master. But listen carefully. Do you recognize me as your master, Chu Mengli, and not the Fourth Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate?" Chu Mengli warned the two men on the ground with a stern and cold look in her eyes.

The two men who were kneeling on the ground looked at each other, "Yes, this subordinate will obey!"

"This is Core, and Midsummer. They are both my trusted aides." Chu Mengli introduced them and paused for a moment, "From now on, the two of you will be one on the bright side and the other on the dark side. Su Yi, you stay by my side. You're still hiding in the wind." A man in the wind should not be in the open.

"Yes." The two of them replied. They hid in the shadows again as the wind blew, while the plain clothes changed out of their black tight suits.

After cleaning everything up, Chu Mengli ordered Peach Blossom to go inform Chu Zhennan before leaving with Xin'er and Chu Zhenyi.

In the study, Chu Zhennan listened to the pink peach and shook his head helplessly.
