However, Mu Xinyue still underestimated Shen Qingqian. Shen Qingqian was really not angry.

Firstly, Shen Qingqian would not get angry over such a small matter; secondly, Shen Qingqian was different from other women, she would not put all her focus and emotions on a man.

Even if it is a man she likes and cares about, she will only spend half of her mind on love at most, and the other half she will use to build her career and do something meaningful.

Zhao Yichen thought of Shen Qingqian's sweet smile when she spoke to him, and a trace of warmth passed through his heart. He said, "Of course not. Qingqian is not the kind of person who would care about such a small matter."

Mu Xinyue was a little disappointed with the result. She wasn't angry? How could it be? These two people met again after a long time, and she called him away not long after they met. How could Shen Qingqian not be angry?

Does this woman really not care, or is she pretending to be magnanimous in front of Zhao Yichen?

Mu Xinyue thought it should be the latter.

"Brother Yichen, Miss Shen seems to have some misunderstandings about me. Why don't you find a time to invite her to your house? I will cook some southern dishes to entertain her.

I want to get in touch with her a few more times. Once we get to know each other better, I think she will definitely clear up her misunderstanding of me. What do you think?"

Mu Xinyue spoke as if she was the master of this house. In fact, she had heard Zhao Yichen say before that if Shen Qingqian didn't like her, she would have to let her live outside. So, she wanted to create some conflicts between the two of them before Zhao Yichen made any move. It would be best if Zhao Yichen disliked Shen Qingqian!

Of course, Zhao Yichen didn't know about Mu Xinyue's little tricks. Seeing that Mu Xinyue spoke sincerely, he thought that she realized that what she did that day was inappropriate.

If that was the case, he thought Mu Xinyue's proposal was worth considering. Qingqian and Xinyue cleared up their misunderstandings, and maybe they would get along well in the future. Then he wouldn't be caught between two women.

"Let me ask Qing Qian for her opinion on this matter first! You should have a good rest and don't think too much. I'll be leaving first."

The Queen has been in a good mood these days. Concubine Dong has been under house arrest, and the Emperor has come to her palace more often.

Zhao Yichen is back and has an engagement with Shen Qingqian. As husband and wife are of the same mind, Shen Qingqian will naturally support the prince together with Zhao Yichen. In this way, Han Qingshan will also become theirs.

The Queen had already achieved her wish, and she felt that there was no need to hold the Spring Banquet. She cancelled it on the pretext that the palace needed to increase revenue and cut expenditure after the war.

After the next morning court session, the Queen called Zhao Yichen over and specifically told him to find a time to bring Shen Qingqian to Qingning Palace. She said she liked Shen Qingqian very much and wanted to meet her.

Zhao Yichen naturally agreed. The emperor and the queen both admired Shen Qingqian, so of course he was happy too.

Zhao Yichen had originally planned to look for Shen Qingqian after the court session, and with the Queen's order, he went straight to Shen Qingqian's general's mansion as soon as he left the palace.

However, he did not see Shen Qingqian because Shen Qingqian went to the military camp today.

Zhao Yichen missed Shen Qingqian very much after being apart for such a long time. He wanted to spend more time with her whenever he had time. Zhao Yichen felt a little regretful that he was called away in the middle of the day yesterday and was unable to have a good chat with Shen Qingqian.

So, Zhao Yichen decided to go to the military camp to find Shen Qingqian and pick her up.

However, just as he came out of Shen Qingqian's house, someone else came to look for him. It was a servant in his house.

Zhao Yichen frowned, looked at the boy and asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant handed a small bamboo basket to Zhao Yichen and said respectfully, "My Lord, this is the snack that Miss Mu asked me to bring to you. She said she made it herself, so you and General Qingyi can have a taste of it together."

Zhao Yichen's originally tense expression relaxed a little. He thought Xinyue was a sensible person. She made snacks for him and did not forget to show her goodwill to Qingqian.

He thought that Mu Xinyue was still sick yesterday, and started doing these things today when she got a little better, and he couldn't help but feel more pity for her.

He took the basket and said, "Tell Miss Mu that I will eat the snacks, but you can let the servants do these things in the future. You don't have to do it yourself. Pay more attention to rest."

"Yes, master."

The servant took his leave and left. Zhao Yichen hung the snack basket on the saddle, whipped the horse whip, and headed for the military camp outside the city.

It took Zhao Yichen less than half an hour to reach the military camp. Unfortunately, Shen Qingqian was not there again, saying that he was taking the soldiers into the mountains for training.

But it was almost noon now, and the people in the camp said that they should be back soon. Zhao Yichen went into Shen Qingqian's tent and waited.

Sure enough, before Zhao Yichen finished his cup of tea, Shen Qingqian came back.

She was wearing a black outfit and her hair was tied into a ponytail. Her bangs were probably soaked by sweat and stuck to her cheeks.

Shen Qingqian did not look beautiful at the moment, and there were even some stains on her face, but she had an upright posture and a confident smile, and the moment she pushed the door open, it seemed that her whole body was glowing.

"came back?"

When Zhao Yichen saw her come in, he stood up and asked with a smile.

Someone outside had already told Shen Qingqian that Zhao Yichen was coming. So she was not surprised to see Zhao Yichen in the tent. She nodded and said, "Yeah! Why are you here?"

"I'm free today, so I came to see you. You must be tired, come over and have a cup of tea!"

"That's fine. I'll wash my face first."

Shen Qingqian scooped a bucket of water into the wooden basin, washed her hands and face, and then sat down opposite Zhao Yichen.

Zhao Yichen handed her the freshly poured tea, opened the snack basket, pushed it in front of her, and said, "Have some snacks."

Shen Qingqian had been very active in the morning and was really hungry. She thought Zhao Yichen was quite considerate and brought her some snacks.

She picked up a piece and ate it. It tasted good, but it was a bit too sweet, probably because too much sugar was added.

Shen Qingqian doesn't usually like sweets, but thinking that Zhao Yichen brought it from so far away, she only ate one piece and stopped, which seemed a bit disappointing to him, so she picked up another piece.

But before eating the snack, she took a sip of tea first, otherwise it would feel too greasy.

Zhao Yichen saw her pick up another piece and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Shen Qingqian smiled and said, "It's OK, very good, thank you."

"This snack was made by Xinyue herself. She said it was specially made for you. I hope you like it."

Zhao Yichen said with a smile. He deliberately said that Mu Xinyue made the snacks specifically for Shen Qingqian, and did not mention himself, just to make Shen Qingqian and Mu Xinyue closer.

Shen Qingqian paused holding the snack, and instantly lost the desire to eat the snack that was already near her mouth. She even smelled a strong tea flavor from the snack.
