"What are you talking to Xiaoyue about?"
"Your Highness." The butler who led the way bowed and called out.
Xiao Chu took a look and saw Mu Qing, who was dressed in a martial suit with narrow sleeves, walking out of a corridor and walking across Xiao Chu. Although he had been here a few times, how could Xiao Chu, who had just seen the luxurious and luxurious Mu Residence, be so kind to him?
Smiling, he gave Mu Qing a hand."I'm teaching the little moon child how to use the autumn stone.”
Mu Qing's face darkened when he heard that. He suddenly remembered how disgusted Xiao Chu was when he used the Autumn Stone. He wanted to act up, but he had no excuse. The other party had given him the medicine with good intentions. It was just that the material of the medicinal stone was a little disgusting. This matter had passed for more than a year, and he had long since understood.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao is really good at joking. My sister should have finished packing, right? Help me take a look. I'll go to the weapons room to find a bow.”Mu Qing left in a hurry.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Chu thought for a moment,"He's not going hunting with the bow and arrow, is he?" Xiaoyue, do you have a bow?"
Xiaoyue shook her head.”
"I'll borrow a bow from Sister Ni Huang later.”Xiao Chu didn't mind and followed the housekeeper with Xiaoyue.
Ni Huang's boudoir was located in a courtyard in the back garden of the Mu Residence. Xiao Chu had been here twice before and still knew the way. However, he had asked the butler to lead the way to avoid suspicion. When they reached the courtyard, the butler cupped his hands at Xiao Chu and left. Xiao Chu nodded. He understood what she meant. Servants were not allowed to enter the mistress's room.
Xiao Chu didn't hold back at all and walked into the courtyard as if it was her own house. She headed straight for the largest main room in the middle.
Xiao Chu called out to Sister Ni Huang a few times at the door, but there was no response. Xiao Chu then brought Xiao Yue in. It was similar to Xiao Chu's inner hall. The moment one entered, it was the main hall for receiving guests. On both sides were side doors. Behind the main hall was the inner hall for the host to receive friends who were on good terms with him. Further behind was the host's resting place.
"Didn't Mu Qing say that Ni Huang had finished cleaning up? Why is there no movement?"
After thinking about it, he realized that it would only take one or two seconds. Xiao Chu stood there and blinked her eyes before walking into the inner hall. However, there was no one in the main hall either, so she continued to walk in.
Walking around a screen, Xiao Chu saw a person.。。Bathing!
Although the side of the huge bathtub was covered by a light pink gauze curtain, Xiao Chu could clearly see the person bathing in the bathtub through the gauze curtain, revealing a head of fragrant black and beautiful long hair. The most representative was a small black mole on the back of the left shoulder. Although Xiao Chu had already performed acupuncture on this body yesterday, she felt her blood boiling now.
Who was Princess Ni Huang? He was ranked tenth on the Lang Ya Experts List! She was also the only woman on the Lang Ya Expert List. Her martial arts skills were higher than more than 80% of the men in the world. How could she not know that there were other people in the room? His ears twitched slightly, and his expression changed drastically as he shouted,"Who is it?"
"Um." Xiao Chu did not expect Ni Huang's hearing to be so good. In a split second, Xiao Chu thought of an idea. He poked Xiao Yue and gave Ni Huang a look.
Xiaoyue was a genius. How could she not know what her heartless master was thinking? He rolled his eyes helplessly and said,"Princess, it's me, Xiao Yue. My master has been waiting in the inner hall for a long time. Seeing that you haven't come out, he asked me to come and take a look.”
"It's you." Ni Huang heaved a sigh of relief. "Go tell Xiao Chu that I'll be out soon.”
"Yes." Xiaoyue nodded.
Xiao Chu took this opportunity to retreat to the inner hall. After calming down, she knelt on the soft cushion on the ground. Turning his head, he saw a few female servants carrying copper basins filled with flower petals and spices into the bedroom from the side door. Xiao Chu clicked her tongue and thought to herself," It's the middle of winter, yet you're bathing in expensive rose petals. The Mu Residence is really extravagant."
However, this was just a thought in his mind. All women loved beauty, and even Princess Ni Huang, who had been through many battles, was no exception. If he said this in front of Ni Huang…。。Xiao Chu thought about it and decided to forget about it.
A female servant placed a teapot on the corner table beside Xiao Chu, and Wan Fu walked out. Xiao Yue picked up the teapot and touched the tea. Seeing that the tea was just warm, Xiao Yue picked up a teacup and poured a cup for Xiao Chu. Although he was respectful, his eyes were filled with disdain.
Xiao Chu's face turned slightly red. She coughed lightly and took a sip of tea. He closed his eyes and ignored Xiaoyue.
Ni Huang did not make Xiao Chu wait for too long. In about an hour, Ni Huang was dressed in a white martial arts uniform. Her hair was tied up by a long bun that looked like a man's hair. It was like a high ponytail. She looked valiant and elegant. Xiao Chu realized that Ni Huang's hair wasn't wet in such a short time. Could it be that she had a hairdryer?
"Little Chu, sorry to keep you waiting."
"Not long, not long." Xiao Chu stood up and bowed.
Ni Huang hurriedly stopped Xiao Chu and said,"I should be the one bowing to Little Chu. I was tight on time yesterday morning, and I only remembered at night that I actually forgot to thank Little Chu.”
"Sister Ni Huang, we're not friends. There's no need to thank me.”"Where did Mu Qing go?" Xiao Chu asked indifferently. I'm starving. Why don't we set off now?”
"Alright." Ni Huang turned around and instructed a female servant,"Go and find His Highness."
Not long after, Mu Qing walked into the inner hall with a large bow in his hand. When he saw Ni Huang kneeling in front of Xiao Chu, he cupped his fists and bowed,"Sister, you're finally done bathing. Can we go now?"
Ni Huang's pretty face blushed slightly as she said,"You've already inherited the title of prince. Why are you still playing around like before?”
Mu Qing was so frightened by Ni Huang's reprimand that she shrunk her neck and did not dare to speak.
The four of them packed up their things. Ni Huang and Xiao Chu also found two longbows that they were familiar with in the weapons room. It was worth mentioning that Mu Qing had chosen a three-stone bow while Ni Huang had a four-stone bow. Only Xiao Chu, with his inquisitive body, did not feel embarrassed and chose the softest two-stone bow. Actually, there was also a stone bow, but it was either used by elegant women or young masters from rich families. Xiao Chu was not that thick-skinned.
Each of them carried a bow and a quiver of arrows as they mounted their horses and galloped from the Mu Residence to the outskirts of Jin Ling City.
The winter solstice had passed, and the weather was suddenly cold. The land was dry and the grass was dense. After passing through the city gate, the four of them did not stop for long and went straight to the stream where the four of them often met for an outing in midsummer.
As soon as they left the city, Mu Qing rolled his eyes and said,"Brother Xiao, why don't we have an equestrian competition? Whoever reaches Tian Xi first wins!"
"Me? I think I'll pass." Xiao Chu waved his hand and said,"If a weak scholar like me really galloped for a while, I'm afraid I'll be scattered before I reach the place."”
"Is that so?"
Mu Qing pulled the reins and walked to Xiao Chu's side. The four of them were not riding fast because they were talking and laughing. Mu Qing snickered evilly and whipped Xiao Chu's horse hard on its butt. The horse raised its four hooves in fright and neighed as it ran forward desperately. Mu Qing let out a long laugh and urged the horse to chase after him.
Ni Huang and Xiao Yue were not worried about Xiao Chu. Instead, they looked at each other and smiled.
Only Xiao Chu's frightened voice echoed,""Don't let Mu Qing fall into my hands in the future!”
