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

Wei Qing arrived just after dark. Xia Taoyuan watched Wei Qing and the maids light the rabbit lanterns and play with them. She was just as happy watching from the side as they were.

Remembering that Chu Xingluo said he would come in the evening, she saw them playing for a while. Then Wei Qing's little maid Yan'er came to call her back, saying that Madam Zhao said it was too late and they could play tomorrow.

Wei Qing left, and the maids all did their jobs, cleaning up and serving the young lady. Xia Taoyuan sat at the table with her hands on her cheeks. Dai'er and Yu'er made her bed and helped her change clothes. Xia Taoyuan said she would do it herself and asked them to go and rest.

When Chu Xingluo came, Xia Taoyuan had already fallen asleep on the table. Chu Xingluo was afraid that she would have difficulty falling asleep again after waking up, so he didn't call her. He just sat beside her and watched her quietly, helping her brush away the hair that fell on her face.

For Chu Xingluo, just watching his beloved sleep can make him feel at peace and remind him once again that he is no longer alone and no longer helpless.

After watching quietly for a while, he gently picked up Xia Taoyuan and put her on the bed.

He sat by the bed, gently holding Xia Taoyuan's hand, as if holding the whole world. He was cold and not good at expressing himself, and he hated people who talked too much. But since he met Taotao, he changed. She talked a lot, but he never thought she was noisy. Sometimes he was grateful that the real Wei Zhiying ran away, giving him the opportunity to meet Taotao and let him know that there are many beautiful things in this world.

"Lolo, Lolo." Xia Taoyuan called twice, and Chu Xingluo thought she was awake, but she fell asleep again the next moment. It turned out to be a dream talk. But it was this dream talk that made Chu Xingluo's heart instantly bloom like a firework. The person you miss so much is thinking of you in your dreams. What could be more intoxicating than this? He couldn't help but lean over and kiss Xia Taoyuan on the lips. He was afraid of waking her up, so he didn't dare to use force and stopped at the right time.

After sitting for two hours and watching Xia Taoyuan for two hours, Chu Xingluo left.

In the early morning, when Xia Taoyuan woke up, she tried hard to recall that she had a beautiful dream. She dreamed that she and Chu Xingluo were in Taotao Garden together, and the two of them lived happily together, like a couple of gods.

She recalled the fragments of her dream, and the smile on her face gradually deepened. Sweet dreams always make people happy, even if the dream is not real, but the happiness is real.

Just after breakfast, I heard someone talking downstairs. Soon Zhu'er came upstairs and said to Xia Taoyuan, "Miss, Fugui is here and said that the King of Nan wants to see you and is waiting in the flower hall in the front yard."

Xia Taoyuan was stunned when she heard this, then she laughed and said, "This kid is serious." She tidied her clothes and went downstairs straight to the flower hall.

As soon as he stepped into the flower hall, the waiting King Nan immediately stood up from his chair and ran towards Xia Taoyuan.

"Third sister-in-law." Chu Xingliang called respectfully.

Xia Taoyuan smiled. Ever since she got engaged, King Nan started calling her the Third Sister-in-law. She didn't mind at all. It was a matter of time anyway.

"Why did His Royal Highness the Southern Prince come to see me?" Xia Taoyuan asked knowingly.

Chu Xingliang rubbed his hands a little nervously, and said hesitantly: "I came here to ask my third sister-in-law something."

"Haha, what's so important that His Royal Highness Prince Nan needs to come here in person?" Xia Taoyuan asked calmly.

"Third sister-in-law, who was the girl with you yesterday?" Chu Xingliang was still young after all, and his face turned red when he spoke.

"There were three girls with me yesterday. Which one are you talking about?" Xia Taoyuan picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

"Yes, that's the girl wearing pink clothes and holding the rabbit lantern."

"Oh, it's her. Why is His Highness the Southern Prince asking about her?"

"I saw that girl yesterday and I felt like I had seen her somewhere before, so I wanted to ask my third sister-in-law if I could meet that girl again and get to know her?" Chu Xingliang was a little reserved.

"What? You want to get to know that girl? That depends on whether the girl wants to get to know you." What Xia Taoyuan said was right. If Wei Qing didn't want to get to know her, not only the King of the South, but even the King of Heaven couldn't force her.

"Then how can I see her again?" King Nan was a little anxious.

"Why do you want to meet her?" Xia Taoyuan asked knowingly.

"I, I, I just want to meet her, I just want to see her again!" Prince Nan rubbed his hands anxiously.

"If you are just in a spur of the moment and want to get to know the girl because she is pretty, I advise you to give up the idea." Xia Taoyuan glanced at Chu Xingliang.

"I really want to see that girl again. After I went back yesterday, my mind was full of that girl. I kept thinking about her and wanted to see her again. If it wasn't too abrupt, I would have come yesterday." Chu Xingliang said very sincerely, and after looking at Xia Taoyuan, he said, "If Third Sister-in-law can let me see her again, I will give you one hundred taels of gold!"

Chu Xingliang said the last sentence while gritting his teeth. He was only sixteen years old and had just established his government. One hundred taels of gold was a huge sum of money.

Xia Taoyuan was taking a sip of tea and almost spit it out when she heard Chu Xingliang say that. It seemed that these people thought she was a money-grubber.

She waved her hands quickly and said, "Gold is not necessary, but she is a girl, how can you see her whenever you want? Besides, what's the use of seeing her once more? Can you see her every day?"

"I want to see her every day! Not only do I want to see her, I also want to be with her!" Chu Xingliang blurted out, and he was a little surprised after he said it.

Xia Taoyuan laughed and said teasingly, "Oh, you fell in love at first sight? Love at first sight is beautiful, but you've only met her once, and you don't even know her identity, yet you're too impulsive to say you want to marry her."

"Even though it was only one encounter, it was enough to make me want to be with her. I don't care about her status. When I saw her, I had a sense of déjà vu, as if I had known her for a long time." Chu Xingliang's eyes were firm.

"Since you said so, I will help you ask the other person if he is willing to see you again. If he doesn't want to see you again, then give up the idea. If he is willing to see you again, then you have to act like a man and remember what you said just now!" Xia Taoyuan stood up and said.

"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law!" Chu Xingliang was overjoyed. "If that girl is willing to see me again and is interested in me, I will definitely not let her down!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about that girl anymore. Her name is Qing'er. I'll ask her later. If she agrees, I'll bring her to see you at Prince Nan's Mansion tomorrow." Xia Taoyuan said to Chu Xingliang with a smile.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for my third sister-in-law and Miss Qing'er at home tomorrow." Chu Xingliang said goodbye happily.

Xia Taoyuan wondered whether to tell Mrs. Wei about this, but then she changed her mind and thought that since nothing had happened yet, it wouldn't be too late to wait until she met Wei Qing and see what she thought.

When she returned to Yingyuan, she ordered Yu'er to inform Wei Qing to come over in the afternoon. Remembering that she hadn't seen Madam Wei for a few days, she went to Madam Wei's yard.

Mrs. Wei was naturally very happy to see her coming. She held her hand and chatted with her. If you didn't know them, you would really think they were a mother and daughter.

Mrs. Wei talked for a while, then sent the maids around her away to do their work, saying that she wanted to be alone with her daughter for a while.

Seeing Madam Wei like this, Xia Taoyuan knew that she must have something to say to her. Sure enough, after the maids and servants left, Madam Wei spoke up: "Miss Xia, I have something to ask of you."

Xia Taoyuan was surprised when she heard this. Madam Wei changed her address for no reason. This must be a serious matter. She smiled and said, "Madam, you are too polite. Just tell me what's the matter. I will do my best as long as I can do it."

Mrs. Wei suddenly burst into tears: "I have been dreaming about Ying'er recently. I am very worried about her and want to see her even more. Jinghe and I have discussed it and decided to go see her after the Dragon Boat Festival."

Madam Wei paused for a moment and continued, "I want you to go with me. In previous years, I would take Ying'er to the Foguang Temple in Yunzhou to stay for a few days in May. More than a hundred people in the family know about it. Although the servants are very loyal, I still think it would be safer to take you with me."

When Xia Taoyuan heard this, she understood Mrs. Wei's concerns. It would be difficult if someone became suspicious, so she hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, I will go with you." It just so happened that she also wanted to meet Wei Zhiying.

Madam Wei comforted him a little and said, "Then you should tell Prince Jing not to worry. I heard from Jinghe that Prince Jing has deep feelings for you. Maybe this is fate."

Madam Wei sighed again. Her precious daughter could have become the Princess of Jing and enjoyed all the glory, but she went against the grain and had an affair with a servant and eloped. What else could this be but fate?

"Then when do we set off? May 8th is Princess Anping's birthday, and the invitation was sent the day before yesterday." Xia Taoyuan hesitated.

"Then we will set off on the tenth day. You can take care of Zhu'er by yourself. I will take care of Zhu'er's mother, Grandma Zheng. Both mother and daughter are trustworthy. Zhu'er has known about it for a long time." Mrs. Wei then gave a few more instructions before Xia Taoyuan left.
