It was two days' journey to Shanning Mansion, and when it got dark they arrived at the place where they would stay for the night.

The servants who had gone ahead had already made arrangements, and the officials at the inn who got the news came to pick him up in person.

Qi Yue rubbed her back and got out of the car, looking at the inn in front of her. This was the ancient government reception hotel, with high hanging lanterns, blue bricks and gray tiles, and a majestic atmosphere.

"Young Madam." Aru reminded her in a low voice.

Qi Yue came back to her senses and saw Chang Yuncheng walking towards the inner door, surrounded by four or five officials.

"Where's Miss Rao's family?" She looked back.

Rao Yufang had just gotten out of the car and bowed her head when she heard the question.

"Let's go." Qi Yue said with a smile.

Rao Yufang nodded and pulled down the hood of his hooded cloak, covering half of his face.

The clerk at the inn quietly looked at the two women who were supported by their servants.

What a beauty... As expected, the Hou family members are as beautiful as heavenly beings...

Qi Yue saw that everything was fresh. Most of the rooms here had lights on, and it looked like there were quite a few guests...

"Walk faster, what are you looking at!" Chang Yuncheng stood in front of her at some point.

Qi Yue frowned and looked up at him, and just about to retort, Chang Yuncheng raised his hand and grabbed the hat behind him and put it on his head, blocking his eyes for a moment.

"What are you doing!" Qi Yue said angrily, reaching out to pull his hat.

"It's so cold, bring it with you." Chang Yuncheng shouted in a low voice.

"Why is it so cold?" Qi Yue couldn't help but laugh or cry. Before she could finish her words, Chang Yuncheng took down her hand and dragged her forward.

"My wife is weak..." Chang Yuncheng could be heard explaining to the people around her.

The surrounding officials laughed and praised the prince for his compassion.

Why is he so kind-hearted? Qi Yue pouted and used his other hand to pull up some hats so that he couldn't even see them.

"Miss..." the girl following Rao Yufang reminded in a low voice.

Rao Yufang then raised her heels. Chang Yuncheng and Qi Yue in front of her were already separated by the crowd.

"This is the young lady of the Rao family. Please make arrangements."

Chang Yuncheng's voice came from ahead again.

The Rao family? The officials were stunned. The only one who could be directly called the Rao family and had something to do with the Dingxi Marquis Mansion was naturally the Rao family in Shandong!

The officials who thought he was accompanied by a charming wife and concubine suddenly realized that several of them came to see her in person.

A smile appeared on Rao Yufang's face hidden under her hat, and she returned the gifts one by one. When she looked up again, Chang Yuncheng and Qi Yue had already entered the room.

Her steps hesitated for a moment.

"Miss Rao, please come this way." An official said diligently to guide the way.

It's in the opposite direction to Chang Yuncheng's house.

Rao Yufang lowered her head and walked lightly. After a simple wash, dinner was served.

At this time, the local officials would definitely entertain Chang Yuncheng, who must have gone out to eat.

"Mother Gui, do you still have the jar of meat that our family brought?" Rao Yufang asked.

The woman who was watching the girls tidy up their own bedding hurriedly came over.

"Also, I know the lady likes to eat this, so in addition to leaving it with my aunt, I also left a small jar." The woman said with a smile.

"Take it out." Rao Yufang said, "Let the young lady have a taste."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then understood and nodded with a smile.

"Baojuan, come here and help the lady comb her hair." She called hurriedly.

A little girl came over in a hurry.

Rao Yufang sat in front of the mirror, carefully applying powder on her eyebrows...

That young lady is a beauty, no matter how much makeup she puts on, she can't compare to her...

It's better not to dress up...

Rao Yufang carefully wiped off her makeup.

When the people came to Chang Yuncheng's side, because they all recognized him, the guards didn't stop him.

"Miss Rao?" The girls and servants standing outside the door were all surprised.

"Young Madam, you are having a meal. I am also alone, so come here to accompany her." Rao Yufang said with a smile to the servants who came.

The servants laughed.

"Thank you, miss..." One of the fat women said with a smile, "It's just that our prince is here too. Look at this..."

Rao Yufang was stunned.

Is the prince also here? Why didn’t you go to the banquet?

If the prince is here, it will be inconvenient for her, a girl who has not yet left the palace, to go in...

only…

Rao Yufang turned around hesitantly.

Is it better if he is here?

"This is a jar of meat made by my mother. My aunt also loves it, so I want the prince and the young lady to try it." Rao Yufang turned around and took the small jar from the hand of the maid behind her, then turned around again and said to her.

The servant girl smiled and said, "Mom, please send it in if you have any problem."

"Meat?"

Qi Yue stopped her chopsticks and asked, looking at the jar in the servant's hand.

"Yes, our wife made it herself, and the young lady ate it so cutely." The little girl said with a smile.

Chang Yuncheng was eating with his head down and didn't seem to hear all this.

"Thank you so much." Qi Yue gestured to take it and said with a smile, "Has your lady eaten?"

"Not yet, I'm outside." The little girl replied hurriedly.

What about outside?

"Then come in and eat together." Qi Yue said with a smile.

A'ru, who was serving dishes at the side, coughed, but it was still a step too late. The little girl turned around and left.

Not long after, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Miss Rao is here," a servant woman said.

Aru's face changed slightly. Why was this Miss Rao so rude? She actually came in.

She couldn't help but look at Chang Yuncheng.

Chang Yuncheng also seemed a little surprised and frowned.

Rao Yufang walked in, not wearing a cloak even indoors, only wearing a simple skirt and jacket.

"Your Majesty, Madam." She bowed her head and saluted.

Chang Yuncheng hummed, and Qi Yue smiled and waved to her to sit down.

"I thought the prince went out to eat and the young lady was alone, so..." She sat down and said with a little uneasiness.

"Yes, yes, I thought..." Qi Yue smiled smoothly.

Before he finished speaking, Chang Yuncheng kicked him under the table.

Qi Yue turned to glare at him.

Chang Yuncheng stood up without looking at her.

"You guys can eat." He said, and Shi Shiran walked out.

Finally feeling at ease, Qi Yue happily picked up the chopsticks.

"Eat quickly, the food here is really good." She said, greeting Rao Yufang.

Rao Yufang watched Chang Yuncheng stand up, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.

"I... disturbed the prince's meal... I'd better go back and eat..." She stood up with an apologetic look on her face.

"Oh, he's finished eating." Qi Yue said with a smile, "Sit down quickly, what's the point of eating alone."

Chang Yuncheng, who was walking out the door, paused when he heard these words.

This stinky woman, he thought she didn’t know!

It's not fun to eat alone, so I stayed with her specially...

When I got to the dinner table, I looked at her disgusting face, as if I was deliberately disgusting her...
