As Qi Chuchu and Mu Chen brought the servants and maids together, they began to make kebabs under the guidance of Qi Chuchu. The aroma of meat suddenly filled Mr. Fu's courtyard.

"Sir, do you want spicy food?"

"Of course I want it, I don't like anything spicy."

That would be the best! Qi Chuchu asked the boy to sprinkle chili powder on the skewers on the stove.

"Madam, I don't like spicy food." Zhan Yiming said.

Hearing this, Qi Chuchu froze for a moment. She seemed to have asked all the questions but missed Mu Chen.

She smiled sweetly, "Then I'll make some for you personally, and I'll wait a little longer."

Mu Chen did not say anything, but kept following Qi Chuchu. After the spicy meat skewers were grilled, Qi Chuchu first presented them to Mr. Fu, and then set aside a small area to grill the meat skewers without adding chili powder.

After everything was done, Zhan Yiming, Qianyu and the other servants and maids all shared some, while Qi Chuchu and the others ate in the bamboo house with Mr. Fu.

"Sir, how are you eating?" Qi Chuchu asked.

Mr. Fu's mouth was full. After taking a sip of tea, he gave Qi Chuchu a thumbs up, "It's spicy and spicy, very refreshing!"

"But it would be stingy to try to bribe me with just a few skewers of meat."

Qi Chuchu laughed when he heard this, "Sir, you are joking. We are just here to have dinner with you today. After all, this outdoor barbecue is the more lively it is when there are more people."

"You're right, there are so many people and it's so lively." Mr. Fu agreed and picked up two more picks.

Mu Chenduan didn't say much during the whole process, he just looked at everything around him carefully.

This meal seemed to really bring us closer to Mr. Fu. How could it be so simple?

After eating and drinking, Mr. Fu took a nap.

"Princess, when will you return to the palace?"

"Is something wrong, Your Majesty?"

Well, nothing happened, but Mu Chenduan was a little curious and asked.

"If nothing happens, just stay until evening. The main purpose of coming here today is to keep me company and make that gentleman let down his guard."

"Okay, then just listen to the princess."

After the conversation ended, the two walked out of the bamboo house together. The sun was shining brightly outside, and the servants and maids who came with them were enjoying the shade under the trees. Qi Chuchu arrived at the creek not far away.

Mu Chenduan was worried about the danger by the stream, so he went there with Qi Chuchu.

Suddenly he saw a few translucent glazed stones under the gurgling stream, and Qi Chuchu immediately went to fish them up.

"What are you doing?"

Upon hearing Mu Chenduan's question, Qi Chuchu walked towards him, but her feet slipped dramatically and she fell into Mu Chenduan's arms.

He held the person in his arms steady, and the sunlight shone through the shade of the trees on the side and shone on Qi Chuchu's hair and cheeks, giving her a halo.

"The princess is so eager to throw herself into my arms?"

Qi Chuchu pushed Mu Chenduan down and retorted, "It's obvious that the rocks by the stream are too slippery. The prince is really narcissistic."

After finishing talking to Mu Chenduan, Qi Chuchu looked at the few glazed stones he had just picked up. The color was transparent and clear, and they were really beautiful.

She looked at the glazed stone in the direction of the sun, and the stone seemed more transparent.

But she didn't know that her appearance was even more beautiful in Mu Chenduan's heart at this time. It seemed that Nangong Yuejia was supposed to be such a carefree little princess.

After Mr. Fu woke up from his nap, he was happy to see Qi Chuchu and Muchen Duan still there.

The three of them played chess together for a while. Mr. Fu beat Qi Chuchu ten times and lost two to Mu Chenduan. However, Qi Chuchu was not annoyed, but Mr. Fu was.

"Why do I lose when I play chess with you? I won't play anymore!"

"Sir, I've offended this junior, I'm sorry."

Mr. Fu's bamboo house was bustling all day long, and it was not until sunset that Qi Chuchu and Muchen Duan were allowed to leave.

It happened that Mr. Shen Xu, the Prime Minister of the Left, came here with his staff Nangong Huaijin, and several people met him head-on.

Qi Chuchu was a little stunned. How could that man be so similar to her second brother who was killed by Duguqing in her memory?!

This is really a bit weird.

"Master Shen."

"Meet His Highness Prince Duan."

The two exchanged pleasantries. Shen Xu noticed Qi Chuchu's trance and alerted Mu Chenduan first.

Mu Chenduan had a stern look on his face and put his arms around Qi Chuchu's waist, "Princess, this is Master Shen."

"Ah, Mr. Shen." Qi Chuchu twitched the corner of his mouth and realized the gaffe he had just made.

Shen Xu greeted the two of them again and said, "Is the princess acquainted with my staff member Jin Nan?"

Nangong Huaijin lowered his head slightly, saluted Qi Chuchu and Mu Chenduan, and said, "How could I have seen Princess Duan?"

"Yes, it's just that I looked familiar at first glance, but I haven't seen it before."

The conversation between the two ended here. Mu Chen exchanged a few words with Shen Xu before taking Qi Chuchu and leaving.

After such a day of tossing and playing, Qi Chuchu was a little drowsy on the carriage when she returned. Mu Chen saw this and stretched out his hand to pull her over and lean on his shoulder. Qi Chuchu also slept more comfortably.

"Going back home."

Qi Chuchu woke up after hearing the sound and found that she was sleeping on Mu Chenduan's shoulder, so she quickly got out of the car.

When they arrived at the mansion, the servant reported that Qin Yu had been in the study for a long time, so Mu Chenduan diverted to the study and did not go to Luanqi Pavilion again that night.

When Mu Chenduan didn't come back until midnight, Qi Chuchu fell asleep in the main hall with peace of mind.

She never expected that today Mu Chenduan would not sleep here and would attract assassins. Just as she was about to call for help, the man in black fell from the beam and covered her mouth.
