After the new year, the court resumed its work, and all the work within the court began to proceed in an orderly manner.
Although the Fifth Prince was far away in Jiangnan, he couldn't delay the transportation of salt in the slightest. However, he began to visit all over the place, trying to find out more about the matter of salt transportation.
"Thirteen, thirteen."
Just after the New Year, Duan Yunfei was sitting on the eaves of the house, using her hands to support her forehead, her legs swinging from side to side in the air, and staring blankly at the sky in the distance. She could hear their shouts from afar.
Xiao Ya, who was about to go out and check after hearing that, was grabbed by Xiao Yang by the arm, and deliberately laughed at her: "You still can't tell, it must be our Young Prince Mu who isn't afraid of the heavens or the earth."
Duan Yunfei sat at a high place and only took a glance at a nearby place, then saw Mu Chuyang bustling towards the Red Luan Courtyard.
"Little Thirteen, I've already called you out for a long time now. How could you not know how to reply? When Mu Chuyang raised his head, he saw Duan Yunfei sitting on the eaves of the building. He bent down to support her legs while pointing at Duan Yunfei and said.
When Duan Yunfei saw Mu Chuyang's panting appearance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She jumped down from the roof and quickly walked in front of Mu Chuyang, puckered her lips and said to him: "Even though it's already past New Year's, the weather is still cold. Young Prince Mu isn't staying at home to properly take you, what are you doing in my Red Luan Courtyard?"
Mu Chuyang did not reply, he took out a bag from his waist and handed it over to Duan Yunfei.
"What is this?" Duan Yunfei looked at Mu Chuyang suspiciously, and stood still, unwilling to make a move.
"You'll know when you open it." Mu Chuyang shoved the thing in his hand into Duan Yunfei's hands, his face revealing a pleased look.
Duan Yunfei slowly opened it, only to discover that it was a candied fruit from the old southern side of the city.
Seeing the surprise on Duan Yunfei's face, Mu Chuyang also laughed along as she said to Duan Yunfei with a doting look on her face: "That day, when we went out to play together, you said that you wanted to eat the candied fruits at the southern side of the city. Today, I especially woke up early in the morning and begged the craftsman to make us candied fruits, then I brought them over to you without stopping."
In the end, Mu Chuyang did not forget to pat Duan Yunfei's shoulders. He blinked his eyes and asked: "I wonder if this Thirteenth Princess is satisfied?"
As Duan Yunfei took a bite, the sugar on the hawthorn fruit, along with a sour and sweet taste, flowed down Duan Yunfei's tongue and into the bottom of her heart. She nodded lightly, raised her head and looked at Mu Chuyang who was standing in front of her, and nodded strongly towards him.
Although Mu Chuyang did not say it on a normal day, he would clearly remember every single word that Duan Yunfei had said. Although he was a noble and noble king of the capital, he was unruly and unruly. However, he treated people with kindness. Sometimes, even when Duan Yunfei stood by his side, she couldn't help but think that the person accompanying him in this lifetime should be him.
"Thank you, Young Prince Mu, for your deep friendship, I am forever grateful." Duan Yunfei bent down and jokingly bowed to Mu Chuyang, but before she could finish, he pulled her up.
Mu Chuyang glanced at Duan Yunfei, then sized up the person beside him, and gently shook his head: "Ah, this Xiao Yang is truly more and more ignorant. This duke has been here for half a day, and has not invited me into the house to pour a cup of tea.
As soon as Mu Chuyang finished speaking, Duan Yunfei immediately understood and quickly reached out her hand towards Mu Chuyang: "I didn't receive you properly, Young Prince Mu, please forgive me. It's cold outside, so Young Prince Mu should hurry inside to drink a cup of hot tea. "
"That's more like it." Mu Chuyang glanced at Duan Yunfei, and as he muttered to himself, he walked inside the house.
It was cold outside, but it made the room seem warmer.
Mu Chuyang sat down and quickly took out the high quality well that the emperor bestowed to him a few days ago. In addition to that, he also boiled the snow water he collected a few days ago into tea and placed it in front of Mu Chuyang, as he bowed to him.
Mu Chuyang slowly took a sip, and could feel the difference. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Yang, nodding his head in satisfaction: "Miss Xiao Yang is really more and more perceptive, knowing that the esteemed guest has arrived, he brought the best tea here, to truly make this duke feel gratified."
"Young Prince Mu is flattering me, it's just that the taste of the Young Prince Mu is getting more and more tricky. If it wasn't for my idea of presenting the best to you, you would have had to scold me again." Xiao Yang stood at the side and looked at Mu Chuyang, sighing softly as he spoke.
Duan Yunfei listened to what Xiao Yang said by the side and nodded his head in gratification.
Mu Chuyang sat at the side and lightly shook his head. He sighed and said: "This girl Xiao Yang was originally extremely good, after following the Thirteenth Princess for a long time, he's actually learned to be sarcastic.
With a "pa" sound, the cup in Duan Yunfei's hand flew out, straight towards the center of Mu Chuyang's brows. Fortunately, Mu Chuyang's hands were quick enough, he quickly dodged it and caught the cup in her hand.
He let out a light breath, raised his head and looked at Duan Yunfei, staring at her and shouted: "Hey, are you trying to murder your husband?"
But Duan Yunfei didn't care and made a face at him.
The two of them played around for a while before finally getting serious.
Xiao Yang had always been clever, upon seeing the two of them becoming serious, he knew that they must have something important to discuss, so he quickly found a reason to leave.
Mu Chuyang coughed lightly twice, and then pulled Duan Yunfei to sit down, as he gently sized her up once, and said to her in a low voice: "Thirteen, I received a secret report from Jiangnan a few days ago, the Fifth Prince has already gone to visit various places, and I think that he has pretty much made some preparations. The weather is getting warmer now, and I think that it won't be long before the Fifth Prince begins to prepare for the salt luck in Jiangnan."
"Time is of the essence. The Fifth Prince has already started moving, so we can't sit still and wait for death." Mu Chuyang said as he looked at Duan Yunfei.
"Alright, I understand." Hearing Mu Chuyang's words, Duan Yunfei's expression also started to become serious, she gently sipped on her tea, and raised her head to stare at Mu Chuyang without saying a word.
Duan Yunfei's eyes were sharp, and when she saw her, Mu Chuyang's heart couldn't help but tremble. He lowered his head to size herself up, and then raised his head to look at Duan Yunfei, before slowly opening her mouth and asking her: "What's wrong?"
