So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Chu Yuanming's desire to win Xiao Yueshan did not fade away because of her refusal. Instead, he became more determined to win her.

Seeing that Xiao Yueshan was already alert to the meeting arranged by Wang Huai'en, he asked Wang Huai'en to arrange it and went directly to the side room where Xiao Yueshan lived while Shen Xishuang was on duty at Zichen Hall.

Xiao Yueshan looked at the man who suddenly appeared at her door and was speechless. She didn't know what strange plot this prominent Prince Jin had come up with that he had to catch her to perform alone.

She looked quite irritated, but she still managed to bow to the man and said, "Greetings, Prince Jin. I wonder what brings you here?"

"Madam Xiao, why do you have to reject me?" He said tenderly, looking like a sentimental prince who loves the heroine in a romance novel. "I just regard Madam Xiao as my soulmate, so why not come to ask Madam Xiao for a cup of tea?"

Xiao Yueshan rolled his eyes in his heart. Soulmate? Who is your soulmate?

But she still said coldly and politely: "Prince Jin, you are too polite. I am a guest in Shou'an Palace and I am not the host. I am afraid it is inconvenient for me to entertain Prince Jin."

Chu Yuanming didn't care. He walked into the room and sat down, saying with a smile, "I don't mind, as long as I can chat with Madam Xiao."

Xiao Yueshan had no choice but to watch him come in.

Chu Yuanming poured himself a cup of tea and even took the teacup that Xiao Yueshan had used. He smelled the tea and praised, "Good tea! Madam Xiao is such an elegant person."

Xiao Yueshan said calmly: "This is the palace's tea, it has nothing to do with me."

Chu Yuanming added: "Madam Xiao is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has such outstanding skills in making tea. It's really rare."

Xiao Yueshan sighed inwardly, this person is really inexplicable. She decided to end this conversation as soon as possible, so she said: "Thank you for the compliment, Prince Jin. If Prince Jin likes this room and wants to use it for tea, then I will take my leave first." After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

"I am very curious about Zhou Yao." Seeing that she refused to accept his toast, Chu Yuanming changed his strategy.

"How could Zhou Yao, a mere scholar, understand the principles of the old woman's holding the center and the immortal method of balancing the stars? And where did things like the unpowered gravity vehicle come from?" Chu Yuanming's expression was still calm and warm, but his eyes were unusually sharp, staring at Xiao Yueshan like an eagle.

Xiao Yueshan was shocked. She never expected that Chu Yuanming would ask about Zhou Yao so directly. She wondered where he knew about it.

But she remained calm on the surface, "Prince Jin, you are too serious. My husband is only slightly interested in these little things. He has not made any achievements so far. He is just thinking about it randomly."

"Is that true?" Chu Yuanming obviously did not believe Xiao Yueshan's words. "I have heard that Zhou Yao knows a lot of interesting things, and even knows how to make firearms that can be ignited at a touch like firecrackers. If the firearms are made, they can be used to attack cities and kill people everywhere. Is this true?"

Xiao Yueshan sighed inwardly. This Chu Yuanming was really difficult to deal with. Since he knew such detailed information about firearms, he must have heard it from the Shen family.

"The King of Jin may have believed the rumors. My husband is just a weak scholar. How could he know how to make firearms?"

"Lord Zhou suddenly has so many strange ideas. I'm afraid he was possessed by a demon when he fell into the water." Chu Yuanming pressed on, "I heard that his personality changed drastically after he came back from Jiangzhou. He is now a completely different person."

"Madam Xiao, are you afraid of sleeping in the same bed with him?" Chu Yuanming spoke frivolously and reached out to touch Xiao Yueshan's face.

"Nonsense! Zhou Yao and I have been married for life, and I know best whether he has changed or not." She took a step back to avoid Chu Yuanming's hand and said seriously, "Your Majesty, a gentleman should not talk about strange things. Please don't listen to ghosts and gods casually."

"Miss Xiao, don't be nervous. I have no other intentions." Chu Yuanming smiled slightly, trying to ease the atmosphere. "I just think that firearms are very helpful to my Dazhao. If he really has this talent, I will definitely make use of him."

Xiao Yueshan sneered in her heart. She didn't believe Chu Yuanming's words. This person was very scheming. He kept asking Zhou Yao to find out whether he could make firearms.

"Prince Jin, you are too kind. My husband is just a little clever. I am afraid he can't do what Prince Jin said." Xiao Yueshan said perfunctorily, "It is getting dark. I am afraid it is inconvenient for Prince Jin to stay in the palace."

"Okay." Chu Yuanming stood up, his eyes moving with a hint of subtle ambiguity and teasing, gently falling on Xiao Yueshan. "Sorry for bothering you today, I will come to visit you another day, Madam Xiao, I hope you don't be so formal." After saying that, Chu Yuanming left gracefully.

Xiao Yueshan was really bothered by Chu Yuanming's behavior of spreading his pet's tail everywhere. If he wanted to rebel, he should just do it properly. Why was he playing the role of a romantic playboy here?

Shen Xishuang also learned from Jingzhu that Chu Yuanming had come to tease Xiao Yueshan in person, and she was so angry that she smashed the teacup on the spot.

"Madam, please calm down." Jingzhu knelt down quickly.

Shen Xishuang was startled by her sudden anger. She calmed down and began to think. She and Chu Yuanming were just a fleeting love affair brought together by profit. How could she have such strong jealousy?

Could it be that...she has fallen in love with him? As soon as this thought came to her mind, Shen Xishuang immediately shook her head, trying to get rid of it. Impossible! They were just using each other, there was no way they could develop real feelings.

But if it is not the case, then where does this inexplicable jealousy come from? Shen Xishuang pondered over it, but could not find a reasonable explanation. Perhaps, it was because she was used to the hot and fresh experience brought to her by Chu Yuanming in this lonely palace. Only when he came, she felt that she was really alive. Now that she saw that he might give this care to others, she could not help but feel a little dissatisfied and resentful in her heart.

However, no matter what the reason, Shen Xishuang clearly realized that this emotion was not good for their relationship. After all, their cooperation was based on interests, and if their cooperation was affected by personal emotional issues, it would not be worth the loss.

She was in a state of extreme entanglement, and for a moment she couldn't even tell whether she should be angry at Chu Yuanming or at Xiao Yueshan. This complex emotion made her feel very confused and helpless, as if she was being pulled by two powerful forces and didn't know how to make a choice.

She tried to calm down and think about how to face the situation, but her thoughts were like a tangled mess, becoming more and more confused.

"We must not let Zhou Yao develop firearms before us." She was confused, but the idea was clear.

"Pick up Kong Nanlu to see me tomorrow." She regained her composure and instructed Jingzhu.

It is necessary to provide some support for Zhou Yao's trip to Xizhou. A plan gradually took shape in Shen's mind.
