Chapter 342 To Go In or Not to Go In?
With Mu Xin Nuan's intervention, the atmosphere naturally eased considerably. Although the two younger cousins were a bit mischievous and occasionally arrogant, Mu Chang An thought these were not major flaws. The main thing was that the two children were still young, and while their temperaments hadn't yet settled, they could be properly taught.
Not long after, Mu Qingye arrived as well.
Mu Qingye was specially invited by Mu Xinnuan, and his mother, Liu, naturally accompanied him.
Mu Qingye wore a dark blue long gown today, while his mother, Liu, wore a dark purple dress. The fabric wasn't of the highest quality, but it was clean and neat, and the craftsmanship was excellent, making it look as if it had been made by her own hands.
"Greetings to Auntie."
"Greetings to my great-uncle, greetings to my two uncles, greetings to my aunt, greetings to my elder sister." Mu Qingye's impeccable manners made the old man's beard twitch.
"Qingye is here. Come, let me see, you've grown quite a bit taller."
"I'm still benefiting from my eldest sister's cooking. I've eaten quite a few meals that she makes for my two younger cousins."
Mu Xin Nuan smiled faintly, "What are you saying, cousin? Since you call me elder sister, what's wrong with me making some food for you? We're family, why are you talking like two different people?"
Mu Qingye and Mu Qingxuan were the same age, and their height and temperament were similar. They also attended the same clan school, so their relationship was naturally closer than with others.
It was precisely because of this that Mu Xin Nuan paid more attention to Mu Qing Ye.
The family was chatting and laughing when the steward rushed over. Before he could even report, Duanmu Chuze followed closely behind and appeared at Wangyue Pavilion.
"Greetings to the prince."
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. Seeing that the whole family was kneeling on the ground, she could only bow in return.
However, as soon as his legs bent, he was helped up.
"Everyone, please dispense with the formalities. Now that I am engaged to Anuan, we are family. In the future, I will naturally visit her often. If it is always like this, it will be too troublesome. From now on, let's dispense with the kneeling ceremony."
"Thank you, Your Highness. However, etiquette must not be disregarded."
Mu Xin Nuan shook her hand, but found that she couldn't break free at all. She could only blush and let him hold her hand like that.
When Duanmu Chuze saw that Mu Xin Nuan's face was flushed, and then he noticed that there were quite a few people here, although they were all looking down and not daring to look at him, he knew that most people's eyes were on his and her clasped hands.
Duanmu Chuze reluctantly let go of her. "When I helped you just now, your hands felt a little cold. Are you feeling unwell?"
Upon hearing this, Li looked up as well. "Anuan, is it true? Are you feeling unwell? Did you catch a cold?"
"Mother, I'm fine. It's just that the Prince is making a mountain out of a molehill." Mu Xin Nuan said, not forgetting to glare at the instigator.
What was originally a casual family dinner became more cautious due to the arrival of Prince Chang Le.
After several rounds of drinks, Duanmu Chuze's complexion remained unchanged, showing no signs of drunkenness. Mu Xinnuan quietly left the table when they started talking about famous calligraphers and painters.
Rongyue followed closely behind, her little face scrunched up, "Miss, you haven't eaten much. Would you like me to go to the kitchen and make you something special?"
"No need, and I don't have much of an appetite anyway."
“Miss, how can this be? How about I go and cook some porridge for you?” Rongyue said, then frowned and thought for a moment. “No! Cooking porridge takes too much time. I’m afraid that by the time I’ve finished cooking the porridge, Miss will have fallen asleep waiting.”
Hearing her say that, Mu Xin Nuan chuckled. "Alright, go and make me a bowl of noodles."
Mu Xin Nuan wasn't really hungry, but to avoid Rong Yue nagging in her ear, it was better to send her to do something.
It's only a little past noon now, and the midday sun looks warm and pleasant. Its slightly whitish light shines on people, giving them a sense of languor.
Mu Xin Nuan didn't go inside; she just sat on the porch.
She had a recliner prepared in the corridor before, and now she lies on it, gently rocking back and forth.
The sunlight filtering through the dense leaves of the osmanthus trees in front of the corridor, scattering across her like tiny stars, enveloped her entirely.
The faint fragrance of osmanthus blossoms drifted into her nose on a gentle breeze. For a fleeting moment, Mu Xin Nuan felt that this was the best life in the world!
The rocking chair swayed gently, and Qianxia gradually felt a little tired. She closed her eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.
When Rongyue brought out the steaming noodles, she found that her young mistress was already fast asleep. Gritting her teeth, she could only put the noodles aside and then take a thin blanket from the room.
Both Mu Hua and Mu Qing have been sent out to do errands by their young lady, so Yuexuan is now unusually quiet.
When Duanmu Chuze arrived at Yuexuan, he immediately saw Mu Xinnuan sleeping soundly on the recliner.
A pale white blanket was draped over her, giving her a somewhat foxy appearance!
Duanmu Chuze approached slowly and gently. Just then, a breeze swept by, and the osmanthus tree under the corridor made a soft rustling sound.
Duanmu Chuze frowned slightly, stepped forward, carefully picked up Mu Xinnuan, and carried her into the house.
The moment he picked Mu Xin Nuan up, she opened her eyes a crack and vaguely saw that it was Duanmu Chu Ze. She mumbled something indistinctly, then buried her head in his chest and went back to sleep.
Rong Yuegang, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned!
At this moment, Chunyu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and hurriedly lifted the curtain in a flattering manner, inviting Duanmu Chuze in.
Only when no one was around did Rongyue realize what had happened! The Prince of Changle had entered her young lady's boudoir!
Prince Chang Le actually entered the young lady's boudoir in broad daylight, with so many people outside, without any regard for propriety.
Rong Yue shivered violently!
If the master and mistress ask her about it, what should she say?
Also, does the person in front know that the Prince has come to Yuexuan? Will such a breach of etiquette get out?
It has to be said that Rong Yue is truly loyal to Mu Xin Nuan!
Seeing Chunyu standing outside the door, Rongyue was on the verge of collapse!
What does she mean by this? Is she going to keep watch for the two of them? Should I, their personal maid, go in or not?
