Murong Sichen pinched Chai Qingyue's face and couldn't help but exclaim. It felt good. But soon, Murong Sichen retreated from Chai Qingyue's house.

Murong Sichen, who carried Chai Qingyue all the way, felt that he was feeling uncomfortable now, and his shirt was soaked in sweat, so he had to instruct his servants to cook a pot of hot water to take a shower.

When the people in Yingxue Pavilion saw that the prince was carrying the princess back to the house, they were sent to the bed and couldn't help but wake up Chai Qingyue. Even the servants were spared from serving him, they couldn't help but feel very proud.

Xiaoyu, who had been covering the door after returning to the mansion, saw the love scene of the prince and the princess, behind the mahogany door, not only did he not clench his nails, but instead smiled.

Chai Qingyue, just wait. There are more than half a month left, no, there are still seventeen days left.

Murong Sichen felt that after getting along last night, the relationship between him and Chai Qingyue should have been much more relaxed, at least he could be considered a friend, yes, friend.

Because I was so happy last night, Chai Qingyue, who had already been exhausted, naturally failed to get up on time the next morning and naturally missed the breakfast time.

Murong Sichen sorted out the political affairs accumulated during the New Year's Day in his study and prepared what he needed to start the 16th day of the first lunar month. When lunch time was almost time, Murong Sichen suddenly rose and wanted to go to Yingxue Pavilion to have lunch with Chai Qingyue.

"I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince." Xiaoyu stopped Murong Sichen outside the main house.

Murong Sichen frowned. Isn’t this the one she had before? Why is she here? She asked a little unhappy: “Why are you here?”

Xiaoyu was stunned, lowered her head, bit her lip, and whispered: "I have been here to serve the princess for a while."

"That's it." Murong Sichen showed a sudden enlightenment and nodded, "Then you are so serving."

Seeing Murong Sichen about to enter the house, Xiaoyu hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"What are you doing?" Murong Sichen frowned deeper, his tone became more impatient, and he tilted his head to look at Xiaoyu, with an unhappy face.

Feeling the anger from Murong Sichen, Xiaoyu immediately withdrew her hand, lowered her head deeper, and her tone was filled with grievance: "Report to the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess has not yet gotten up."

"Didn't get up?" Murong Sichen instantly widened his phoenix eyes to express his surprise.

No, can you sleep so much?

Murong Sichen was a little unbelievable, and waved his hand and asked Xiaoyu to retreat first. He pushed the door and went in. Murong Sichen saw Chai Qingyue wrapping the quilt into the shape of a silkworm pupa.

Murong Sichen suddenly had the urge to walk over and lift the quilt, but he stretched out his hand and regretted it again in an instant, just chose to sit on the edge of the bed and watch.

Chai Qingyue seemed to feel someone sitting next to her bed, woke up in a daze, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

Murong Sichen shook his hand in front of Chai Qingyue, and said with a smile: "You are not sleeping stupid, are you?"

After slapping Murong Sichen's hand that had been shaking, Chai Qingyue raised her upper body and saw the sunlight leaking from the window. She patted her head and said in annoyance: "What time is it now?"

"It's almost noon."

Chai Qingyue was so scared that she jumped off the bed and exclaimed: "It's so late?"

Murong Sichen nodded and looked at Chai Qingyue's actions with amusement.

Chai Qingyue glared at Murong Sichen and began to push Murong Sichen out: "You go out for a while first, I'll change my clothes, you can come in later."

Murong Sichen shook his head amused and withdrew from the main house with a doting look on his face.

After a while, Chai Qingyue finished dressing and called Murong Sichen to go in again and ordered lunch.

"By the way, I have to go to court tomorrow. I may get up early, so I'd better continue to sleep in the study." After the maid had packed up all the tableware, Murong Sichen said to Chai Qingyue.

Chai Qingyue nodded and replied: "Yes."

But I was thinking in my heart: It seems that you have many opportunities to stay here overnight.

"I probably don't use dinner here today. There are too many things to do. I'll just use it in the study later."

"Okay." Chai Qingyue responded.

Murong Sichen seemed to want to say something, but when he saw Chai Qingyue seemed to be not very interested, he did not continue.

Chai Qingyue thought Murong Sichen was very strange today, and she didn't even need to call herself "I" and called me directly in front of her.

After the morning court the next day, Murong Sichen hurried to Yingxue Pavilion and told Chai Qingyue some details of the sacrificial ceremony on February 2nd.

"The ceremony usually ends before Chen Shi, right?" Chai Qingyue asked Murong Sichen again confirmingly.

Murong Sichen felt very puzzled. Why Chai Qingyue kept emphasizing this issue, but still answered honestly: "Yes, according to the previous etiquette specifications, the entire sacrifice can usually be ended in two minutes."

Chai Qingyue asked hesitantly again: "If I go to Ciyun Temple on the west mountain in the suburbs after the ceremony, can I go back to the city before closing the city gate?"

After listening to Chai Qingyue’s question, Murong Sichen’s doubts became even deeper and he asked in confusion: “What did Qingyue go to Ciyun Temple to do?”

Can't tell the truth, Chai Qingyue's face was not blushing and her heart was not beating, and she told her lies: "I wanted to go to Ciyun Temple to pray for blessings that day."

"Pray for blessing?" Isn't the dragon raised his head just to pray for good weather in the coming year? Why did Chai Qingyue have to go to Ciyun Temple alone? Murong Sichen felt that his IQ, which he had always been proud of, was challenged by Chai Qingyue's unthinking mind.

Chai Qingyue continued to panic: "Yes, on February 2nd, my mother would take me to the temple to pray for blessings."

"That's how it is." Murong Sichen felt relieved. It seemed that he could not let go of his family. "Then go. Don't worry, he can come back. Ciyun Temple is not far away. If you ask the butler to get you a fast carriage, you will definitely be able to go back."

"Yes, okay." Chai Qingyue might have been a little guilty, so she lowered her head and pretended to read a book after agreeing.

Murong Sichen thought it was Chai Qingyue who was missing her family again, so he didn't say much.

February 2nd arrived soon. On that day, Murong Sichen and Chai Qingyue both changed into black dresses and attended the sacrificial ceremony. Chai Qingyue changed into a moon-white dress in the carriage, and then asked the servant to drive to Ciyun Temple in the western suburbs.
