When Meng Qingyu arrived at Shaohua Pavilion, his first reaction was that it was too quiet, without a single maid or servant.

Old Mrs. Qiao looked at Gu Changfeng's expressionless face and her heart skipped a beat. She was careless. How could she forget to arrange for the maids and servants to come?

"Go and wake up the princess."

Although Gu Changfeng is a eunuch, Meng Qingyu is a outsider after all. Although the emperor has granted them a marriage, it is not good to enter the inner room so rashly.

"No need to trouble you, old lady, you can go back. I just brought Master Meng here to show the princess today."

Gu Changfeng ignored Mrs. Qiao and directly opened the door to the inner room, letting Meng Qingyu in and then closing the door neatly.

"Grandma, how could they do this? Wouldn't it be detrimental to my sister's reputation if they just went in?"

When Qiao Wan'er saw the "handsome" Meng Qingyu, she was extremely jealous.

"Mr. Meng is now the princess's fiancé, how can he be said to have ruined the princess's reputation? Miss Wan'er, please don't chat here if you have nothing to do. We don't like it."

Gu Changfeng's words came from the inner room, "Old Madam, don't stand here any longer. Go and prepare to receive the imperial decree. The imperial decree to confer the title of Princess will surely arrive soon."

Old Madam Qiao asked, "I will go and prepare it right away. Do you need me to leave two maids to help the princess with her makeup?"

"No need, I will dress the princess."

Meng Qingyu followed Gu Changfeng into the inner room. He didn't dare to look around and just walked with his head down.

When they arrived at the dormitory, they saw the woman lying on the bed without any sign of sleep. Gu Changfeng moved aside to let Meng Qingyu come forward.

"Go and wait for the princess to get up."

Meng Qingyu knew that it was inappropriate, but he did not dare to disobey Gu Changfeng.

Meng Qingyu gently approached the bed and said softly: "Princess, get up."

After being called three or four times, Qiao Linxi finally responded, mumbling something that Meng Qingyu couldn't hear clearly.

"Princess, you should get up and wash up. You will receive an imperial decree soon."

Meng Qingyu had thought from the beginning that Gu Changfeng chose him to marry Qiao Linxi, most likely to use him as a shield, in public. Behind the scenes, Qiao Linxi was still Gu Changfeng's woman.

Perhaps Gu Changfeng was considering Qiao Linxi. If she were to marry a eunuch like him, people in the capital would laugh at her.

Before dawn today, Gu Changfeng came to the Gu Mansion and asked him to come and serve Qiao Linxi. They talked a lot in the carriage.

"Mr. Meng, you are the princess's consort, you only need to serve the princess well. You don't need to worry about other things."

After Gu Changfeng finished speaking, he continued as if talking to himself: "The princess cannot have only one consort. She likes handsome men, so she should find more concubines. Which man is good-looking?"

Meng Qingyu was so shocked at that time. Is Gu Changfeng crazy? He obviously likes Qiao Linxi, but he still finds a man for her.

Seeing Qiao Linxi open her eyes, Meng Qingyu regained his composure and called her a few more times.

"what?"

Qiao Linxi opened her eyes and stared at the gauze curtain for a long time, then pulled the quilt over her head.

Meng Qingyu looked back at Gu Changfeng helplessly.

"Princess, if you can't afford it, we have to start now."

The unique voice scared Qiao Linxi so much that he took off the quilt and turned his head to see... a "person" with his head wrapped in gauze and his arms hanging around his neck.

"Ah! Who are you?"

This is a serious injury.

"I am Meng Qingyu."

Meng Qingyu took two steps back and saluted Qiao Linxi, but as soon as he moved, he hurt the wound on his body, and he grimaced in pain.

"Princess, please get up quickly. The imperial edict will arrive soon."

Qiao Linxi sat up dazedly and looked at Meng Qingyu who looked like a mummy: "You are Meng Qingyu, last night..."

"Ah."

Meng Qingyu did not explain or admit his mistake.

Qiao Linxi was wearing a white undershirt, which was quite conservative, so she didn't feel embarrassed when she saw two men in her room.

After she sat up, Meng Qingyu half-knelt down to straighten her shoes and put them on for her with his good hand.

Qiao Linxi scratched his hair, yawned, walked to the window, picked up the basin and prepared to fetch water for washing.

"Princess, let me be your servant."

Gu Changfeng took the basin and went to the side room to fetch water.

This is really strange today. Gu Changfeng actually calls himself a slave.

Gu Changfeng's next actions made Qiao Linxi even more incredible. Gu Changfeng was indeed the emperor's servant. His service skills were really good. He helped Qiao Linxi clean her face, comb her hair, and put on makeup. His movements were smooth and not at all delayed.

"Gu Changfeng, you are being so attentive to me for no reason. You are either a traitor or a thief. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Gu Changfeng was tying Qiao Linxi's hair. Qiao Linxi was looking at the person behind her in the bronze mirror.

"Last night, I was involved in what happened last night."

Qiao Linxi nodded: "I guessed it."

Gu Changfeng walked up to Qiao Linxi and asked her, "Are you not angry?"

Qiao Linxi said: "If I'm angry, can you die as an apology?"

Gu Changfeng: "Oh, that won't happen."

"So, does it matter to you whether I'm angry or not?"

"Yes, if you are angry, I will feel bad."

Qiao Linxi: ...

Meng Qingyu next to him: ...

"Xixi, I'm doing this to protect you. Although this method is a bit lousy, it's the safest way."

Gu Changfeng sighed, "The emperor's mind is hard to predict. Dong Yue leaked your secret last night. I'm worried that someone will harm you, and maybe the emperor will do something to you. I can only find a backer for you, and the emperor will have to think twice before making a move on you."

Meng Qingyu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard Gu Changfeng's heartfelt words.

Everyone in the capital city knew that the most dangerous person was not the emperor but Gu Changfeng. If the emperor wanted someone to die, there was still a glimmer of hope, but if Gu Changfeng wanted someone to die, it would be like the Book of Life and Death in the hands of the King of Hell, and every stroke would be certain.

"And you should also know that if the news of what happened last night gets back to Dongyue, there will definitely be a war. The Meng family...you marrying into the Meng family is also helping the Meng family."

"Gu Changfeng, is there something wrong with your brain? Even if I don't marry him, if the two countries go to war and the emperor needs me, I will stand up for him. Why do you have to find such a lame excuse?"

"You don't understand the situation. With this thing in your hand, if the emperor doesn't arrange a marriage for you, he will let you enter the palace. When you give birth to a prince, your Qiankun Ding will belong to the prince."

Qiao Linxi didn't quite believe Gu Changfeng, but Gu Changfeng nodded seriously: "Trust me, I won't hurt you. Although the husband I picked for you is not the best in the capital, he is a clean man. He is already eighteen years old, and he doesn't even have a concubine in the house. He is also handsome. You will definitely like him."

A handsome young man of eighteen years old!

Qiao Linxi suddenly felt a headache coming on. She now regretted all those bold words she had said at that time.

She turned her head and glanced at the "mummy" next to her. She didn't know whether he was handsome or not, but looking at Meng Qingyu's clear eyes, Qiao Linxi had a headache. Can time be turned back?
