A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

The next morning, Xia Taoyuan asked the maids to ask the housekeeper for a few bottles of wine. They couldn't go to the palace empty-handed. Since Chu Xingluo could drink, she gave him some wine.

Soon, Zhu'er and Yu'er followed the housekeeper to the wine cellar and fetched four jars of peach blossom wine. The jars were not big, and each jar weighed only a little over a pound. Zhu'er said that the Xiangfu would brew some wine every year, especially this peach blossom wine, which was especially fragrant and delicious.

Xia Taoyuan took Zhu'er and Cui'er to find two servants and drove the carriage straight to Prince Jing's Mansion. The two servants often went out with the Prime Minister, so they knew the way to Prince Jing's Mansion.

After about twenty minutes, the carriage stopped. Xia Taoyuan thought to himself, it was pretty fast.

After getting off the carriage, the servant informed the palace gatekeeper. After a while, Qingyun came hurriedly from inside. When he saw Xia Taoyuan, Qingyun smiled and said, "I didn't know Miss Wei was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

Xia Taoyuan also smiled: "Hello, Guard Qingyun, is Prince Jing here?"

Qingyun made a gesture of invitation: "The prince is here, Miss Wei, please follow me."

Two servants were waiting outside, Zhu'er and Cui'er were holding two jars of wine each, and they followed Xia Taoyuan and Qingyun into the palace. The palace was very large, and after walking for a while, they turned around and came to a row of houses. Xia Taoyuan saw another guard of Chu Xingluo, Long Yan, standing outside a room. Presumably, Prince Jing was in there.

Walking up to her, Long Yan said, "Miss Wei, the prince is in the study, please come in."

Xia Taoyuan stepped into Chu Xingluo's study and closed the door from behind. Xia Taoyuan looked at the furnishings in the study. There were several rows of bookshelves filled with books. Further in was a suite. Chu Xingluo was sitting at the desk, writing something.

Xia Taoyuan was afraid of disturbing the person opposite, so she stood there quietly waiting.

Chu Xingluo put down his pen and asked, "Coming?" His voice was the same, indifferent, as before.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the osmanthus cake I sent yesterday. It tastes delicious." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xia Taoyuan cursed himself inwardly. It sounded like he was greedy and hadn't eaten enough, so he came to ask for osmanthus cake again.

"Ms. Wei, do you like it? I'll ask the kitchen to make some more." Chu Xingluo's words made Xia Taoyuan blush.

"No, no, I don't mean that." She was so nervous that she couldn't speak clearly. Xia Taoyuan felt embarrassed and annoyed. She took a deep breath and said, "I just want to thank His Highness for his kindness and bring you a few jars of the prime minister's wine."

"It's just a few pieces of osmanthus cake. Miss Wei, don't take it to heart." Chu Xingluo kept staring at Xia Taoyuan.

Xia Taoyuan felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, so she simply asked directly: "I have something I want to ask Your Highness, what were you doing at the Prime Minister's residence that night?"

"So Miss Wei came here for this. I passed by the Prime Minister's residence that night, and suddenly I wanted to meet Miss Wei, so I went into the residence." Chu Xingluo said seriously. Xia Taoyuan didn't know how to respond to this. The only thing in her mind was "I suddenly wanted to meet Miss Wei." How could such a cold person speak so bluntly?

"Well, I thought Prince Jing had something important to do. I drank too much that night and I don't know what I said. If I have offended Your Highness in any way, please forgive me." Xia Taoyuan was unable to open his mouth to ask him whether he had been to the Prime Minister's Mansion at night before.

"It's okay. I won't blame you if anything happens." Chu Xingluo could not forget the night when Xia Taoyuan grabbed him several times without any mercy.

What are you talking about? It's not your fault if something happens. Is it something or not? However, Xia Taoyuan resisted asking. She could see that if Prince Jing didn't want to say something, he wouldn't say it no matter how much you asked.

Since there's no clue to the answer, let's go. Xia Taoyuan wanted to say goodbye, but was stopped by Chu Xingluo.

Xia Taoyuan didn't know why, and looked at Chu Xingluo in confusion: "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

"Grain Full is coming soon. Father said before that we will be married during the Grain Full season. After the engagement, we will have to pay the betrothal gifts. I will go to the Prime Minister's residence to discuss this matter with Prime Minister Wei soon. What do you want?"

"I don't understand these, and I don't need anything." Xia Taoyuan said. She really didn't understand.

At this time the door opened and Qingyun came in with a plate of osmanthus cake. He put the cake in front of Xia Taoyuan and said, "Miss Wei, enjoy your meal." Then he went out.

"Eat." Chu Xingluo said calmly. Xia Taoyuan was a little embarrassed and sat there without moving.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xingluo reached out and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it to her mouth. She felt her face getting hot and her cheeks flushed. Even her straight boyfriend had never done this when she was in love before.

Xia Taoyuan reached out to take it, said thank you, lowered her head and took a bite. Chu Xingluo looked at her, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
