Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

"Oh my god! The people in the room are actually Miss Chen and Xu Jingyao!!"

"I didn't realize these two were playing so well..."

"Bah! How shameless."

People outside were talking about all kinds of things, and the room was in chaos. Chen Lanhui hid in the corner of the bed holding her clothes, while Xu Jingyao was still holding the quilt with a confused look on her face, looking at the two of them in disbelief.

Young Master Qian was not as shocked as he was at first. He put on his inner clothes casually and looked at the two ladies in front of him. He chuckled and raised the corners of his lips.

"Don't be surprised, I will marry Qian Er if that's the case."

Hearing this, Xu Jingyao vented her anger by picking up a pillow and throwing it at him, with anger on her face: "You deserve to die, you beast, who wants to marry a playboy like you?"

Qian Er was fixing his robe and raised his eyebrows when he heard her words. He said coldly, "Miss Xu has high standards and since she doesn't want to get married, he is not willing to marry her."

Chen Lanhui, who was standing by, had been thinking frantically in her mind about what had happened today and who had framed her. But when she heard the conversation between Qian Er and Xu Jingyao, she lowered her eyes and a gleam flashed slightly.

Although Qian Er is more romantic, he is better than those random people arranged by his stepmother. Lord Qian's official position is not high, but he is from a noble family in the capital after all.

At this time, Chu Haochen and Lu Qingqing on the third floor were sitting in front of the window, watching everything that was happening on the second floor.

"It's a bargain for these two."

Lu Qingqing was still speaking angrily. Chu Haochen on the side smiled slightly and said softly, don't worry. If these two people really entered the Qian family, they would know how powerful Mrs. Qian is.

If the two of them did not want to enter the Qian Mansion, their reputation would be gone and they would have to be sent to the family temple by their family to spend the rest of their lives with green lamps and ancient Buddhas.

"Okay, don't be angry anymore, isn't this all resolved?"

Lu Qingqing frowned and looked at the two ladies who were running over from the second floor. She then turned around, licked her lips, picked up a piece of cake and spoke.

"Neither of these two people is a good person. They will do anything to achieve their goals. If that's the case, let's teach them a lesson."

As she said that, she slowly stood up and said to Chu Haochen, "We've seen enough fun, let's go back home."

Chu Haochen chuckled, took her hand and stood up, and the couple walked downstairs together.

At this time, everyone was gathered on the second floor, so no one paid attention to them. After leaving Chaoyu Building, the two of them got on the carriage.

Before leaving, Zi Yao was carrying two packages of red bean cakes. She got on the carriage and drove straight to Prince Chen's Mansion.

Chu Haochen, who had just returned home, was invited into the palace by the emperor.

Lu Qingqing went to have dinner with Princess Changning today.

"Mother, you have always loved all kinds of cakes. Today, your daughter-in-law brought you red bean cakes."

Lu Qingqing shouted as soon as she walked into Changning's room.

Changning looked at the pastry in her hand and smiled slightly, then raised his eyebrows and asked if she had been to Chaoyu Building today?

"I really can't hide anything from my mother. I just went there with Haochen. I heard there is a poetry gathering today."

As she spoke, she walked to Princess Changning's side and sat down.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kept chatting until Nanny Li reported that it was time for dinner.

"Mother and daughter-in-law will dine with you in your courtyard today. Haochen has gone to the palace and should not be back yet."

Changning smiled and nodded, and told the maid to add more bowls and chopsticks, and asked her if she knew whether the emperor had summoned him to the palace for something.

"My daughter-in-law doesn't know either."

Chu Haochen did not return to the mansion until the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had finished dinner. Lu Qingqing and Zi Yao, the master and servant, were strolling in the yard when they saw Chu Haochen walking hurriedly towards her from a distance.

"You're back? What's the hurry?"

Chu Haochen frowned and told her that with the new emperor ascending the throne, Queen Yu of Cangnan King would soon arrive in Yuan Dynasty and would sign a hundred-year contract with them, agreeing not to go to war with each other within a hundred years and to open their borders to each other, making the border town a trading hub for the two countries.

"This is a good thing!"

Lu Qingqing said with a puzzled look on her face, wondering why he was so anxious about this matter.

Chu Haochen took her hand apologetically and whispered that the plan to return to Taoyuan Town would have to be postponed again.

"Is it because of this? What does it matter? We can do it later."

Chu Haochen asked her seriously, "Qing'er is really not angry?"

Lu Qingqing patted his chest in an angry tone, "Am I so petty that I get angry about everything? Okay, can you have your meal now?"

Chu Haochen took her hand and walked towards his courtyard, telling her not to worry as the emperor had already invited him to have a meal in the palace today.

The couple walked slowly towards the yard hand in hand. Looking at the crescent moon hanging in the night sky, Lu Qingqing spoke with emotion about the scene when they met.

The corners of Chu Haochen's lips curled up slightly. Thinking back to when he first saw the little woman in front of him, he was really surprised. Such a weak little person actually had the courage to save him from a group of well-trained killers.

I guess this is the fate arranged by God.

Lu Qingqing returned to the room, turned around, held her inner clothes and walked into the inner room.

Soon the sound of water was heard from the inner room.

At this time, Chu Haochen suddenly remembered what the emperor said, that this time there was also a Concubine Lian coming with him.

I heard that she was the former concubine of the old King Cangnan, but she eventually surrendered to Ling Xi.

Lu Qingqing groaned, indicating that she had figured it out. She thought that since Ling Xi was coming this time, Yan Niang and Lu Erye should be back. The last time they sent a message saying that something had delayed their trip, could it be because of...

Chu Haochen heard the sound of water in the inner room stop and there was no movement for a long time. He frowned and walked towards the inner room, only to see the little woman leaning against the bathtub and already asleep.

He shook his head helplessly, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he walked forward and reached out to pull the person out of the bathtub.

Lu Qingqing hummed softly, her eyes trembled twice, but she didn't struggle to break free in the end. She didn't know why she was so tired today.

Chu Haochen held the little woman in his arms and slowly walked to the bed, then put her down gently.

I found some clean clothes from the closet and helped her change.

"Sleepy......"

"Okay, okay, let me cover you with the quilt."

As he spoke, Chu Haochen pulled the quilt over her to cover her up, and he took a handkerchief to twist her half-wet hair.

The next morning, Lu Qingqing got up refreshed, but Chu Haochen was no longer by the bed.

At this time, Rui Niang came in holding a copper basin and replied to her master with a smile, "The prince was practicing martial arts with the divine doctor Yuheng in the backyard at this time."

"Oh, I know."

Rui Niang was helping her master to wash and comb her hair. At this time, Biyun also came in, took the comb from Rui Niang, and helped her master to comb her hair.

"Biyun, please keep your hair simple. This summer is too hot."

"Hey, the servant knows the master."

As he spoke, he asked his master whether he would go to the front hall to eat or to eat in the room.

"In the room."
