After discussing with Mu Duo, they took a look at the sky.
Today was Mu Duo's conferment ceremony, so a few people took out a few bottles of wine and chatted while drinking. It was already late at night.
The baby slept during the day, and during dinner, he was very excited because he saw Mu Duo, an old friend. When he woke up, his eyelids started to fight.
She was squirming in Qin Rushuang's arms, obviously wanting to sleep, and feeling a little noisy around her.
Qin Rushuang gently touched his little cheek and said to Mu Duo: "Let's stop here for today. The child is sleepy, I will take him to rest first."
Mu Duo nodded, and then remembered something.
He raised his head and said to Xie Xun, "The room in the courtyard that was prepared for the young senior sister is not very big. Otherwise, I can prepare a new room for King Huai, so as not to wrong you and your wife. You are my distinguished guests of the Southern Barbarians.
"
Xie Xun rolled his eyes silently in his heart.
He naturally knew what Mu Duo was up to.
This was to separate him and Qin Rushuang at night. How could he get what he wanted?
So he said calmly, "That's not necessary. The children I have taken care of in the past few days have realized that Rushuang works so hard on weekdays. At this time, I have my hands free and have the opportunity to take care of their mother and daughter. Is it okay if the room is smaller?
?”
"The bed is quite small..."
Xie Xun has now perfected the skill of being shameless. He actually smiled when he heard this and said to Mu Duo: "It would be better if the bed is smaller, so that we can be close to each other to cultivate feelings. The baby will not fall off easily. I sleep alone in it."
Outside, protect the mother and son."
Mu Duo was completely speechless. He couldn't say it directly. I don't want to see you two living together, so he could only keep his mouth shut.
The little princess on the side wanted to help her brother, feeling that Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang were secretly taking advantage of each other, but before she could speak, Qin Rushuang took her hand and advised: "Go back and have a good rest.
I’ll come and play with you again when I have time.”
The little princess's favorite person now has changed from Xie Xun to Qin Rushuang. When she heard the person she admired say this, she didn't care about anything at night. She immediately nodded like a dog and said obediently: "Okay, then I'll wait for my sister to do it."
Sora comes to me."
After saying goodbye to Mu Duo and the little princess, Xie Xun happily followed Qin Rushuang, but when Qin Rushuang entered the room, Qin Rushuang reached out to stop him.
"My condition has improved now. Your Majesty, please rest outside. I can take care of him by myself."
Xie Xun's smile just froze on his face.
When Mu Duo put forward that opinion just now, he had been paying attention to Qin Rushuang's reaction. Seeing that Qin Rushuang did not refuse, he felt very happy, thinking that Qin Rushuang also acquiesced to his statement. He did not expect that after only a cup of tea, Rushuang could
What if you turn your back on someone and don’t recognize them?
Qin Rushuang didn't give Xie Xun any room to refuse. While Xie Xun was still in a daze, she closed the door with a "touch".
Xie Xun was outside and even heard the sound of Qin Rushuang locking herself inside.
For the first time, Xie Xun felt that Nanman's hospitality to them was too thoughtful.
Why lock the house where such nice guests live?!
Even if there is a lock installed, why is there a lock that is locked from the inside?
Who are you guarding against?
If there is no such lock, he can still shamelessly break in later and find any reason to stay with the mother and son. But now that the door is locked from the inside, he can't be allowed to pick the lock in the middle of the night.
.
At this time, Xie Xun, who looked troubled, did not know that the rooms occupied by other individuals in the Nanman Palace were naturally unlocked.
There was only a small box prepared in the room for placing valuables. Naturally, Mu Duo had prepared this lock for him in advance.
To be precise, it was prepared for Qin Rushuang in advance.
As for who to guard against in this trivial matter...
Naturally it is self-evident.
In the room, Qin Rushuang kept listening to the noise outside the room. When she heard Xie Xun pacing back and forth unwillingly at her door, she calmed down and waited for a while.
After all, Xie Xun was not shameless enough to rush in directly, so he walked outside for a while and then left reluctantly.
Qin Rushuang in the room smiled and felt relieved.
She knew Xie Xun's temper, and now that he was gone, he would most likely not disturb them again at night. She could finally put the child down with peace of mind.
The child felt movement on his body and twisted uncomfortably, then felt his mother's breath on the sheets, and soon fell asleep again.
Qin Rushuang hadn't slept with her child for a long time. She carefully placed her in her arms and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning.
Qin Rushuang was woken up by the itching in her ears.
She was not awake yet, closed her eyes, and touched her ear helplessly, "Baby, don't make trouble..."
She thought the baby was playing with her hair, but she reached out and touched a pair of big, sharp-jointed hands, which made her suddenly wake up from her drowsiness.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Xie Xun sitting beside the bed with a smile.
The baby had already woken up. Xie Xun had already dressed him and was sitting on the other side of the bed, tilting his head and watching the interaction between his parents with his eyes.
Qin Rushuang climbed up quickly, leaned back with some vigilance, and looked at the door that had been opened...
"How did the prince come in?"
Xie Xun opened his eyes and lied, "You seemed to have slept very deeply last night. It was already past the time you usually wake up. I wanted to come and see you. That door... the quality of the door in the Nanman Palace is too poor. I'm not taking it lightly."
Just touch it and it will open by itself."
Qin Rushuang's head was filled with black lines after hearing this.
Mu Duo prepared that the lock was not particularly difficult to open, it was just an iron lock, but...
Qin Rushuang gritted her teeth and looked at the iron lock that had been broken into two sections on the ground, and said: "It seems that the prince's skill has improved again. He can break such a thick iron lock with just a touch!"
Xie Xun shrugged and said shamelessly, "It seems that the quality of this lock is not very good and it is not safe. We'd better go back to our military camp to rest in a while."
Xie Xun's calculations were rattling in his mind.
Anyway, they were all looking for excuses to fool Emperor Qi and the fourth prince, and were imprisoned in the Nanman Palace, or were delayed in the military camp due to something. Aren't they all the same?
As long as he wanted to, he could always find a reason not to go back.
At this time, in the Nanman Palace, a covetous Mu Duo was his love rival, and a little princess with shining eyes did not like him...
It can be said that he has a wolf in front of him and a tiger behind him. He doesn't want to stay in the palace for a moment!
Xie Xun thought so, but the reality was not as good as he wished.
On this side, not long after Qin Rushuang woke up, the palace servants from Muduo had already come to invite her.
"Princess Huai, the eldest prince invites you to his palace to discuss something."
Qin Rushuang calculated the weather and realized it was too early, so she asked more, "What's going on?"
Xie Xun interjected: "His conferment ceremony is over. There shouldn't be anything important. Why don't we just stop going."
"This... I'm afraid it won't work," the palace attendant said in embarrassment, "The eldest prince said that the person who wants to see the princess is your master, Taoist Lianqing."
