The morning sunlight shone through the thin window paper into the room, giving the woman, who was sleeping on the bed, an extremely soft layer of light. Her butterfly-like eyelashes trembled from time to time, but she didn't wake up for a long time.
Suddenly, Mu Pingting frowned, she felt an itch under her nose, as if a feather had moved him. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a smiling face.
Xiao Zhan put down a strand of black hair that was on Mu Pingting's hand, and spoke with a tone full of ridicule: "It's rare to see you tied up in bed, you're already late in the morning, and you're still sleeping soundly here."
Mu Pingting's originally hazy sleepiness instantly disappeared. Her pupils abruptly shrank, and her body reflexively shrank towards the corner of the bed. "Xiao Zhan, why are you here? When did you come in? "
Although she was already used to Xiao Zhan coming and going as he pleased in her room, seeing him sitting at the head of her bed in the broad daylight was still somewhat unbearable.
"This king has been here for a long time, it's just that you, Pingting, who's too heavy, don't know anything about it." Xiao Zhan said, as if he had thought of something, and added, "Pingting, I didn't think that your sleeping appearance would be so interesting."
He at least sat by Mu Pingting's bedside for the time it takes to make a cup of tea, but in this period of time, it was as if he had been possessed by a devil;
"Interesting?" Mu Pingting's fair cheeks instantly blushed a bit, she really didn't know what her sleeping posture was. But looking at Xiao Zhan's expression, it was obviously not a good thing.
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to look like a different person after you fell asleep." Xiao Zhan's words were extremely meaningful, making Mu Pingting so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Actually, Mu Pingting's sleeping position was not bad at all. When he saw his distant and sarcastic attitude, his obedient like a white rabbit face, Xiao Zhan wanted to pinch her face.
"Miss, you're awake …" Qing Luan pushed the door open, and the moment her gaze touched Xiao Zhan, she felt her words stuck in her throat. She opened her eyes wide, and looked at Mu Pingting and Xiao Zhan in shock.
Prince, why would he appear in Miss's room?! Moreover, their postures seemed to be very ambiguous! Heavens, she had just been standing guard in the courtyard and hadn't seen the prince!
"Qing Luan, what are you still standing there for?" Mu Pingting glared at Qing Luan and guessed her thoughts. She felt even more uncomfortable. She lowered her head to glance at the thin clothes on her body and unnaturally pulled the blanket tighter.
"I'm sorry Miss, this servant will help you wash up right now." Qing Luan said as she walked forward, but her gaze was still looking in Xiao Zhan's direction.
Third Prince still hasn't left? Did he still want to stand here and watch his young mistress wash and change? Heavens, since when did the relationship between the prince and the young miss develop to this point? She, as a close maidservant, had truly failed in her duties, and she was unable to see any signs of it.
"Cough cough, Your Royal Highness, can you please go out for a while? If there's anything important to discuss, I'll come back later to discuss it with you. " Mu Pingting unnaturally coughed a few times. With Xiao Zhan's skill, as long as he was not willing to leave, she would be unable to do anything to him.
"Since Pingting has spoken, then this king will go and wait in the courtyard."
Seeing that Xiao Zhan did not continue pestering him, and walked out of the house cleanly, Mu Pingting heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. In order to prevent Xiao Zhan from causing more trouble, Mu Pingting quickly changed her clothes at the fastest speed possible.
She pushed open the door and walked out. When she saw Jiang Chenbi sitting next to Xiao Zhan, she couldn't help but be shocked.
Today was truly lively, the two people she hated to see the most had already arrived early in the morning.
"Elder sister, you're finally out. Third Prince and I have been waiting outside for a long time!" Jiang Chenbi caught a glimpse of Mu Pingting's figure, and turned her head to look at her with a smile. Her body subconsciously moved closer to Xiao Zhan, but Xiao Zhan quickly pulled away from her.
"When did sister come?" When Mu Pingting saw the small action between the two, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised. She only felt that it was secretly funny, Jiang Chenbi's heart had even been set on Xiao Zhan's heart, but she did not get a response from the end.
Even though Jiang Chenbi's body had stiffened slightly, she quickly recovered to normal, "Not too long ago, Third Prince waited for big sister for a long time. When my sister arrived, she had already seen him sitting in the courtyard. "
"Elder sister, I heard the suggestion from the prince yesterday, so after I went back I specially studied it and changed the ingredient of the snack. Today I specially brought it for you to try and see if the taste has improved. " Jiang Chenbi said as she nodded her head. Dong Ping, who was behind her, brought out a small box.
The food box had four levels, and each layer contained different coloured pastries. Compared to yesterday's pastries, it was indeed a lot more exquisite.
Mu Pingting looked and did not do anything, but smiled: "Thank you sister for your kind intentions, it's just that I'm a bit tired recently, so I need to eat light in the morning, so it's not appropriate to eat food that's too sweet."
"However, why not give the prince a taste for his sister? I guess the prince would be interested. " As Mu Pingting spoke, she glanced at Xiao Zhan with a vengeful gaze.
Since it was something that Jiang Chenbi had spent a lot of effort to make, it would be a pity to waste it. Coincidentally, she liked Xiao Zhan, why not let him help her settle it?
"Big sister is right, little sister has forgotten." Jiang Chenbi picked up the food box and walked to Xiao Zhan's side, "Your Highness, please give your assessment to Chenbi to see if there are any improvements that you need to make."
Jiang Chenbi's charming voice gave Mu Pingting goosebumps. She rubbed her hands together and pulled her clothes tighter than usual, "Little Sis and Prince, please sit down for a while. I still need to go pay respects to Madame Mu. If anything happens, please wait for my return. "
After saying that, without giving Xiao Zhan any time to make a sound, she turned and flew away.
"Miss, is it really okay to leave the Duke and Miss Jiang alone in the house? I think that the Miss Jiang is interested in the Prince. " Qing Luan turned her head to look at the direction of the Rain Listening House.
Mu Pingting casually shrugged her shoulders and said: "It's precisely because Little Sister Jiang is interested in the Duke that I have to leave them in one place and properly cultivate my feelings for you."
Jiang Chenbi definitely had to thank her properly in the future. She would definitely do her best to be Yue Lao so that they could get along well with each other.
When he thought till this point, the smile on Mu Pingting's lips became even more pronounced.
