Mo Qinghuan tightened her hand slightly inside her sleeve. Before she could say anything, Shuang'er got annoyed.
"Winter Snow, you're so bold! As a maid, is this how you talk to the Princess? I'll surely report you to the Prince."
Winter Snow wasn't the least bit afraid, as if she was holding some handle on Mo Qinghuan.
Originally, she had shown some respect to this mistress. But after staying here for some days, she found that this woman was really spoilt by the Prince's favor and didn't know how to show the slightest bit of concern for the Prince.
Although the cold of the weather had gone, staying in the cold pond every day was really hard for anyone.
"Servant girl doesn't think what I said is wrong, Princess. What do you think about Shuang'er's plan to report me?"
Mo Qinghuan was so angry that she almost had a heart palpitation. She gently patted Dan'er's shoulder. "Alright, you two do as I've told you."
She looked at Winter Snow. "As for you, do whatever you like. You don't need to serve me from now on."
Actually, after the two sisters came, they hadn't really served Mo Qinghuan. They just protected her safety when she went out, so they didn't really care when they heard this.
But then she thought, if she just left like this, wouldn't she never get to see the Prince every day...
She didn't want that. She didn't want to be like before, staying in the military camp and missing him every day.
So she knelt on the ground with a thud. This startled Mo Qinghuan and she trembled slightly. Fortunately, Dan'er was quick - witted and supported her.
"What do you mean?" Shuang'er stood in front of Mo Qinghuan, glaring sharply at Winter Snow.
Winter Snow bit her lips tightly and lowered her head. "Please, Princess, don't drive this servant girl away. This servant girl will never talk back to you again."
The three people looked at each other, not knowing what Winter Snow was up to.
But Shuang'er thought that a person who could change her attitude so quickly would only be a time - bomb if she stayed by the Princess's side.
She might hurt the Princess one day. It was better to get rid of this hidden danger earlier.
"Shuang'er, don't be naughty. Since she knows her mistake, let her stay."
Mo Qinghuan gave her a sidelong glance and then turned around and walked out.
Thinking of Winter Snow, she couldn't help but sigh. It didn't really matter to her how Winter Snow treated her.
But Winter Snow was truly loyal to Mu Yanming. Just for this reason, it was enough for her to stay in the Prince's Mansion.
When they got back to the Flaming Sun Hall, Mu Yanming was sitting in the main hall. When he saw her come back, he stood up and walked quickly to her side.
"About this morning..." He paused for a moment, observing Mo Qinghuan's expression.
Mo Qinghuan looked up at him expressionlessly. Mu Yanming frowned and reached out to hold her arm. He didn't control his strength well and she gasped in pain.
"Let go of me." Her voice was extremely cold, like the cold wind in the late spring.
Mu Yanming gritted his back teeth, trying hard to ignore her cold expression. But when he looked into her eyes, his heart still ached.
"Alright, alright. It was my fault this morning. I shouldn't have blamed you without finding out the truth."
Mo Qinghuan looked up at him and then looked away.
Although his expression didn't look like he was really apologizing and his tone wasn't very gentle.
But for the high - and - mighty Regent, this was already quite rare.
But she still felt awkward in her heart and didn't want to talk to Mu Yanming.
She lifted her dress and stepped into the room. The bells on her ankle rang merrily, which eased the atmosphere between the two of them.
Mu Yanming followed her into the room and hugged her from behind.
"Husband is already very tired dealing with those people in the court. Let's not quarrel anymore, okay?"
His chin rested on Mo Qinghuan's shoulder. When he spoke, he turned his face and his cold breath blew on her neck. A tingling sensation spread over her body and she stiffened.
Noticing the change in the person in his arms, he slightly curved his lips. It seemed that what was written in the storybooks was right. There was nothing that a bit of showing weakness and acting coquettishly couldn't solve.
He also remembered that the storybook said that if it still didn't work, then give a kiss.
So he turned his face and when his cold lips touched Mo Qinghuan's snow - white neck, Mu Yanming clearly felt the person in his arms tremble slightly.
"What are you doing?" She said angrily and tried to break free.
But Mu Yanming hugged her even tighter. Her small body couldn't move at all in his arms.
He buried his head in her neck. Just as he was about to go further, Jing Hua suddenly coughed lightly. "Your Highness, Miss Shishi from the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion is here."
Mu Yanming snorted and let go of Mo Qinghuan. Mo Qinghuan looked up at him. The scene of Shishi holding his arm involuntarily came to her mind and she frowned slightly.
Jing Hua lowered his head. He could even hear his own heart pounding. He knew he came at a bad time and might have interrupted the Prince and the Princess's pleasure. But Miss Shishi looked so anxious. There must be something important, right?
The Prince and the Princess should understand him.
Thinking of this, he finally felt a bit better.
"She won't come here for no reason. I'll go and see what's going on. I'll be back soon."
For no reason, Mo Qinghuan felt a pang in her heart. "I'll go with you."
Mu Yanming was slightly stunned but didn't refuse. He started walking towards the front hall. But just as they arrived at the front hall.
Before Mo Qinghuan could even see Shishi's face clearly, a red figure rushed towards Mu Yanming. Mu Yanming didn't even have time to react and was hugged tightly by her. She cried pitifully in his arms.
Mo Qinghuan frowned tightly and her face looked extremely ugly.
Was this what he meant by "won't come for no reason"? He still didn't understand a woman's mind after all.
Although Mu Yanming pushed the woman away almost instantly, he still saw Mo Qinghuan's dark face.
He looked at Shishi coldly and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Shishi gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she looked up, she saw Mo Qinghuan and timidly hid behind Mu Yanming.
Mo Qinghuan thought it was funny. Was she really afraid of her? If she was really afraid, would she dare to come to the Prince's Mansion so openly?
She turned to look at Mu Yanming, wanting to see his attitude.
Mu Yanming seemed to notice the subtle atmosphere between the two women. He took a step and stood in front of Mo Qinghuan.
This step really made Mo Qinghuan happy.
But Shishi, who was left out, didn't feel good at all.
Shishi lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand. She looked extremely aggrieved.
Mo Qinghuan stepped forward and held her hand. But Shishi secretly exerted some strength. Originally, Mo Qinghuan wanted to tell Mu Yanming that since the guest had come to the mansion, she should be treated courteously.
But the woman in front of her made Mo Qinghuan feel very uncomfortable.
She wanted to pull her hand back and keep a distance from her.
But she found that Shishi's strength was even greater, so great that Mo Qinghuan's fair back of the hand turned visibly red.
