It had been a tiring day, so Mu Mingtang quickly fell asleep after returning to her cubicle.
The next morning, no one woke her up, and the sun did not shine in. Mu Mingtang slept until the sun was high in the sky.
When she opened her eyes and saw the time, she was shocked. She quickly got up to change her clothes and wash her face. As she tied her clothes, she sighed in her heart. Fortunately, she did not need to take care of her parents-in-law after getting married, and there was no one in the prince's household to care about her. Otherwise, if she slept until the sun was high in the sky on the first day of her marriage, her future days would not be good.
After Mu Mingtang finished dressing, she found another troublesome problem. Jade Qilin Hall had everything, except for a mirror. Presumably, it was because Hsieh Hyun-chen had not yet been married when he bought the prince's residence, and there was no mistress in the bedroom. Naturally, there was no dressing table.
Without a mirror, Mu Mingtang could comb her hair, but she could not do this every day. Mu Mingtang remembered that her dowry had a full set of furniture. When there was time, she would go look for it in her dowry.
Today, there was no mirror, so she could only make do. Fortunately, Hsieh Hyun-chen was unconscious, and the imperial bodyguards outside did not let her go out. She could not see many people, and no one laughed at her. Mu Mingtang carelessly combed her hair, then hurriedly ran to the bedroom in the west.
After a night, Hsieh Hyun-chen did not seem to have changed. He did not even move. However, after she wiped him clean, he looked different. Today, Hsieh Hyun-chen looked much fairer and more handsome. He also looked more like a gigolo.
Mu Mingtang muttered to herself as she wiped his face with a handkerchief and changed his dressing. After Mu Mingtang cleaned everything up, she suddenly found that she had nothing to do.
In the past, when she was running around to make a living, even when she was in the Jiang family, she was busy learning etiquette and poetry. She rarely had free time. She did not expect that after getting married, she would live a life of waiting for food.
Mu Mingtang sat for a while, but she was too embarrassed to stare at Hsieh Hyun-chen's face. Thus, she stood up and walked around the hall, cleaning it.
She was dusting in the easternmost room when she suddenly heard a sound at the door. Mu Mingtang hurriedly ran over and opened the door, only to find that it was the two servant girls from yesterday.
The place where Mu Mingtang was to be married off was completely different from the place in Jiang Mingwei. The servant girls in the Jiang fu were wailing to the heavens and scrambling the earth. None of them were willing to be part of the dowry. It was not easy for Mu Mingtang to let anyone live. These servant girls were like her, struggling to survive. There was no need to let them die with her. Therefore, Mu Mingtang took the initiative to tell Mrs. Jiang that there was no need to choose a dowry for her. Later, the number of dowry candidates was reduced by a lot. In the end, Mrs. Jiang only arranged for two people to follow Mu Mingtang to Prince Qiyang's Mansion as dowry maidservants.
Mu Mingtang was well aware that these two servant girls were not part of the dowry, but were sent by the Jiang family to monitor her. However, Hsieh Hyun-chen's reputation was too frightening. The two servant girls did not even dare to enter Jade Qilin Hall. They only dared to stay outside the hall and talk to her through the door.
Mu Mingtang stood behind the high threshold and suddenly realized that she was now like a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise. Jade Qilin Hall was her shell. No matter how fierce the people outside were, as long as she did not step out of this door, no one would dare to do anything to her.
Thinking of this, Mu Mingtang straightened her back. She straightened her face and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"This servant has come to pay respects to Princess, and also … to see if Princess is well and if there is anything that needs to be added."
Mu Mingtang thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "I really do have something. I remember that my dowry is in the corridor room of Qing Xin Hall. Go and see if there is a small dressing table and have someone bring it in. "
After saying this, Mu Mingtang thought of something and raised her eyebrows, "Don't think about embezzling my dowry. The dowry booklet is with me. Before I got married, I checked everything. If there is one missing, I will ask for it from you. "
The two servant girls looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to glance inside, "This servant will remember. Princess, did you get along well with Prince Qiyang last night? "
Mu Mingtang coldly snorted and said, "Didn't you hear last night? Don't you know if I got along well with him?"
Mu Mingtang's words caused the two servant girls to blush. They didn't dare to go near, but they also didn't dare to not complete the task that Grand Mistress Jiang had given them. They could only hide far away and listen. However, what kind of place was this? The main hall of the prince's estate was being built so that outsiders could hear what was going on inside? It was obviously impossible.
The two servant girls listened for a long time, but they did not hear anything. They saw that there was no big movement inside, and it seemed that the fake Second Miss was still alive. The two servant girls were relieved for the time being and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Early in the morning, they went to the gate of Yulin Hall. In the courtyard, there was a guard every five steps on the walkway. Every door was heavily guarded. The two servant girls were afraid of the real soldiers on both sides, but they were more afraid of Prince Qiyang inside the hall.
They dawdled for a long time until they found that Mu Mingtang did not move for a long time. They were scared and thought that something had happened to Mu Mingtang, so they pulled each other to knock on the door. They moved to the door, but their legs were trembling. They did not dare to knock at the door. What if they woke up the fierce beast inside? The servant girls had to tentatively call Mu Mingtang's name. Fortunately, Mu Mingtang opened the door soon.
Knowing that Mu Mingtang was still alive, the two servant girls were undoubtedly relieved. Then they quietly looked at Mu Mingtang and found that she was full of energy. Her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes were beautiful without makeup. She did not look like … she had been tortured all night.
She slept next to Prince Qiyang, but she was not afraid?
The servant girls did not know whether they were disappointed or glad. They could not help but want to see the situation in the room. Mu Mingtang noticed that their eyes were drifting back. She smiled and generously stepped aside, "Why don't you come in and see?"
The servant girls did not dare to. As soon as Mu Mingtang showed the hall behind her, the two servant girls hurriedly retreated as if there was a fierce beast in the room. One of the servant girls was so scared that she stepped on her skirt and fell down.
She fell down and made a loud noise. Just then, something seemed to fall down in the hall. The two servant girls trembled and ran back in panic. Mu Mingtang looked at the two who were scared out of their wits and laughed. She deliberately shouted, "Don't forget to move my dressing table."
The two servant girls did not look back. She did not know if they heard her or not. Mu Mingtang curled her lips and sneered, "Cowards."
She was about to close the door when the soldiers came to deliver food. Two rows of twelve soldiers came just to deliver food. When they saw Mu Mingtang, they were obviously relieved. The leader of the soldiers put the food box at the door and immediately said, "Princess, now that Prince Qiyang is married, it is not convenient for us to enter the hall. In the future, Princess will be responsible for washing Prince Qiyang and feeding him."
After the soldiers finished speaking, they did not wait for Mu Mingtang to ask. They turned around and left. Look at how fast they were retreating. It was much faster than when they came.
Mu Mingtang sighed. She actually just wanted to ask about the daily menu. In the future, she would also eat with Hsieh Hyun-chen. In any case, he should at least arrange a few dishes that she liked.
Mu Mingtang was speechless. She could only accept her fate and carry the food box into the room. In just a short time, Mu Mingtang found out that after she married, many people in Prince Qiyang's Mansion were overjoyed. At least the soldiers who delivered the three meals a day no longer had deep hatred. It seemed that they took turns to deliver and feed the meals.
How afraid were they of Hsieh Hyun-chen?
Mu Mingtang sat down in the bedchamber with the liquid food. She looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen's face left and right. She did not understand why the people outside were so scared, "He is obviously a good-looking boy toy. What is there to be afraid of?"
Mu Mingtang shook her head and did not think much. She lowered her head and slowly blew on the porridge.
In the past, when Granny Zhou was seriously ill, she could not chew at all. She could only drink liquid food every day. In order to let Granny Zhou eat more, Mu Mingtang tried different ways to make porridge. Therefore, she had done a lot of research on porridge. Today, she blew on the porridge and suddenly made a sound of surprise.
She sniffed carefully and then tasted it herself. Sure enough, she found that there was something added in it. It seemed to be some kind of herbal medicine with a medicinal smell.
Mu Mingtang did not dare to give Hsieh Hyun-chen food with medicine in it. She immediately took the porridge and went outside to ask someone. As soon as she went out, she was stopped by the imperial bodyguard with a sword. The imperial bodyguard did not even look at her and said coldly, "Princess, please wait. His Majesty has ordered that you only need to stay in the hall to take care of Prince Qiyang. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Sure enough, she could not take a single step out. However, Mu Mingtang did not need to go outside. She picked up the bowl and gestured to the imperial bodyguard, asking, "Why is there a strange smell in Prince Qiyang's food? Prince Qiyang is seriously ill. How dare you treat him harshly? "
Even the Emperor did not dare to admit the crime of treating Prince Qiyang harshly, let alone the imperial bodyguard. The imperial bodyguard quickly took a step back and cupped his fists, saying, "This humble one does not dare. Princess, you may not know that Prince Qiyang's food was specially prepared by the Imperial Physician Bureau. This year, Prince Qiyang refused to take medicine, so the Imperial Physician Bureau had to mix the medicine into the porridge. He must have it every day. "
"Oh?" Mu Mingtang looked down at the bowl and suddenly asked, "What will happen if he doesn't have it?"
The imperial bodyguard's face suddenly became serious. He looked at Mu Mingtang coldly and said stiffly, "This humble one advises Princess not to be lazy. Prince Qiyang must have three medicinal meals a day. Otherwise, he will go crazy. At that time, it will be useless to do anything. You can only wait for Prince Qiyang to faint. Princess and Prince Qiyang live together. If Prince Qiyang goes crazy, Princess will be the first person to be injured. This humble one advises Princess not to take any chances. "
After the imperial bodyguard finished speaking, he paused and continued to say impartially, "When the medicinal meals were delivered this morning, Princess and Prince Qiyang did not get up. This humble one did not want to disturb them, so we had to remove them. The medicine in the morning has been added to today's bowl of porridge. This porridge is very expensive. Princess should go back and feed it to Prince Qiyang as soon as possible. "
Such a small bowl of porridge actually had so many secrets. Mu Mingtang replied with an "oh" and asked, "What was added to the porridge? Why is it so magical?"
The imperial bodyguard lowered his head and no longer looked at Mu Mingtang, "It's about the secret recipe of the Imperial Academy of Medicine. This humble one doesn't know."
Mu Mingtang still wanted to ask something, but seeing the imperial bodyguard's stubborn look, she thought that he would not answer. Mu Mingtang sighed and turned to walk into the room. When she walked to the door, she suddenly turned around and asked, "All medicine is poisonous. I'm not sick. There are no medicinal herbs in my food, right?"
The imperial bodyguard was originally worried, but when he heard her question, he slowly relaxed his shoulders, "Princess, don't worry. There are people who make the medicinal meals for Prince Qiyang. Your food is made from another stove."
"That's good." Mu Mingtang nodded and turned to close the door. She smiled at the imperial bodyguard, "Thank you, Imperial Bodyguard."
Mu Mingtang, as her name suggested, had curved eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and red lips. She was as bright and beautiful as a begonia in spring. When she looked back and smiled, it was really as if the ice and snow in spring had melted and the flowers had bloomed ten miles away in an instant.
The imperial bodyguard knew that this woman was the target of his guard, but he still couldn't help but be slightly distracted. In this moment of distraction, Mu Mingtang had already closed the other door and disappeared behind the expensive and ostentatious purple carved wooden door.
The imperial bodyguard immediately withdrew his attention and was secretly vigilant. Not to mention that she was Princess Qiyang, she was Prince Qiyang's woman, so other men couldn't look at her.
After Mu Mingtang returned to the room, she hid behind the door and sniffed again. The winding and hard smell at the tip of her nose seemed to be stronger.
It turned out that there were double the amount of medicinal herbs. No wonder she could smell it. Mu Mingtang had a special ability since she was a child. It didn't have much use, but she could inexplicably find valuable things when she went shopping. If two stones were placed in front of her, she could strangely feel which one was valuable.
Papa Mu laughed and said that Mu Mingtang had the nose of a treasure-hunting mouse. She was born to gather wealth.
Mu Mingtang didn't know if she was a treasure-hunting mouse or not, but her intuition was very accurate. She had always believed in her intuition. If it wasn't for this ability, she didn't know how many times she would have died on the road.
Now, her intuition told her that this bowl of medicine was not right. Mu Mingtang poured it into the flowerpot without thinking. Fortunately, there were now two people in Jade Qilin Hall. Mu Mingtang planned to feed Hsieh Hyun-chen the bowl of porridge in her bowl and eat the other dishes. Although it wasn't much, it was better than drinking the medicinal porridge with unknown ingredients.
When Mu Mingtang tried to feed him the porridge, Hsieh Hyun-chen seemed to resist and refused to open his teeth. Mu Mingtang tried several times, and a lot of porridge flowed out. Mu Mingtang was helpless. She gently wiped the grains of rice from his mouth and said, "Your Highness Prince Qiyang, don't worry. I'm probably the person in the world who wants you to live well the most. If something happens to you, I'll be the first to die. I won't harm you. "
After Mu Mingtang said that, she felt that it was ridiculous. He was unconscious. How could he hear her? However, she didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but Hsieh Hyun-chen slowly relaxed his teeth. Mu Mingtang was delighted and quickly fed him the porridge.
