Chu Yunxi thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She returned to her room, and as soon as her eyelids touched the pillow, she immediately felt heavy. She was indeed too tired recently.

Chu Yunxi slept until dinner time and felt pain all over her body. She was really tired these past few days. She lay in bed and didn't want to move at all. She had to get up until Bai Yu knocked on the door. Seeing that it was dark outside, she thought that her day and night seemed to be reversed recently.

"Girl, Your Highness, let me see if you are awake. If you are awake, take you to a place."

"Okay," Chu Yunxi simply washed up, tied her hair into a high ponytail and went out. She had been here for so long, but she still couldn't learn how to make a complicated bun. When there was a maid, she would let the maid do it for her. When there was no maid, she would tie it into a high ponytail, which looked like the attire of men in this era.

"Where are you taking me, Your Highness?" Chu Yunxi asked Bai Yu, "Is there another case?"

Bai Yu shook his head, "There is no case, and I don't know either."

Well, you’ll know when you meet Xiao Mubei. Chu Yunxi followed Bai Yu out of the Dali Temple, and the carriage was already waiting at the door.

Chu Yunxi got into the carriage and saw Xiao Mubei sitting in the carriage wearing a blue gown and reading a file in his hand. Every time Chu Yunxi saw him sitting in the carriage, she felt that his long legs looked awkward and that he seemed to be more suitable for a luxury car.

Xiao Mubei didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her come in, he said, "You're here. I'll take you to a good place."

Seeing his mysterious look, Chu Yunxi suddenly felt that he seemed different from the King Dingbei she first knew. At that time, he had a cold face and an aura of "keep away from strangers", but why did he look much more down-to-earth now?

"Where are we going?" Chu Yunxi sat down, picked up a plum on the table and threw one into her mouth, her face wrinkled with sourness.

Xiao Mubei raised the corner of his lips. He didn't know when it started, but he loved watching the various small details of Chu Yunxi's life. He felt that there was fun everywhere, and it always made him smile unconsciously.

"You'll find out later."

Since he didn't say anything, Chu Yunxi didn't ask and concentrated on eating the plums. She had slept past lunchtime and hadn't eaten dinner yet. She was extremely hungry and the only things in front of her were plums, so she decided to eat them first.

The carriage drove for about an hour before it stopped. When Chu Yunxi came out, she saw that they were in front of a house. There were no other buildings around, only this house was brightly lit.

"This is where?"

Xiao Mubei got off the carriage and naturally helped Chu Yunxi. "This is the other courtyard of Dingbei Palace. It's in the suburbs of Beijing. Usually, not many people come here."

As he was talking, a round-faced maid ran out. When she saw Xiao Mubei, she immediately shouted inside: "Uncle Li, the prince is here."

After she called out, she came down and saluted Xiao Mubei, "Your Highness, why didn't Your Highness let Bai Yu Hei Mu come over and say so that Uncle Li and I can prepare some delicious food for Your Highness."

As Xiao Mubei walked in, he said, "It's not too late to prepare now. Qingxi, tell Uncle Li to send the wine and food to Jintang. Prepare a few more sets of clothes for Miss Chu to try on later. She has too few clothes."

"Yes, Your Highness." The maid named Qingxi bowed with a smile and immediately came to Chu Yunxi's side, took her arm and said, "You must be Miss Chu, right? I heard Baiyu Heimu talk about you. You saved Your Highness, right? You are the great benefactor of our Dingbei Palace. In this villa in the future, if you have any instructions, just tell me, Qingxi will do her best to do it for you."

Chu Yunxi had a good impression of Qingxi, the cheerful maid, and said with a smile, "What's the big benefactor or not? I just wanted to save my life. I hope Miss Qingxi will take care of me in the future."

Qingxi smiled even more happily, "Young lady, don't be polite to me. This villa is usually managed by Uncle Li and I. Your Highness comes here to relax every time. I will go and make some delicious food with Uncle Li now, and let Your Highness take you in."

"You're busy."

Qingxi giggled, bowed to Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi and ran away. Uncle Li must be busy because he didn't come out.

Xiao Mubei coughed lightly and said, "Qingxi used to be a maid in my mother's palace. After my mother passed away, she didn't want to stay in the palace, so I arranged for her to stay in the other courtyard. She's a nice person, but she talks a lot."

"No way, I think she has a good personality. I won't be lonely staying with her." Chu Yunxi looked at Qingxi's receding back and the corners of her lips curled up.

Seeing that she didn't dislike Qingxi, Xiao Mubei was obviously relieved. He took her around and finally came to a misty hot spring pool.

It turns out that the so-called golden soup is this hot spring pool. Chu Yunxi looked at it with surprise. It was different from ordinary hot springs. It was a series of small pools separated by layers of gauze-like curtains. You could see hazy figures, but you couldn't see people at all. It didn't interfere with chatting. In the middle, there was a table as high as the pool wall, so you could eat while soaking in the hot spring.

"We've been tired for several days in a row. Let's go to the hot springs tonight to relieve our fatigue and have a good sleep. We'll go back to Dali Temple tomorrow morning."

"Good, that's great." Chu Yunxi's face was full of joy. In her previous life, she loved taking a hot spring bath the most, especially after working overtime. When she was exhausted, she would take a hot spring bath and then have a good sleep, and she would feel fully revived.

She didn't expect that there was such a paradise here in Xiao Mubei. It was such a surprise for her, the chosen worker.

"Prince, Baiyu and Heimu, please do as you please. I'll take a bath first. By the way, remember to ask Qingxi to get me clothes." Chu Yunxi said, and couldn't wait to get into a small space.

The place was filled with smoke, like a fairyland. Nothing could be seen clearly, yet one could see vaguely. At this moment, Xiao Mubei saw the hazy figure of Chu Yunxi, who seemed to be taking off clothes. His face suddenly turned red for no reason, and he hurriedly waved his hand to let Baiyu Heimu go out to guard.

He also went into a hot spring pool to soak, and heard Chu Yunxi sighing comfortably, muttering: "Gods are only like this, Your Majesty, can I come here often in the future?"

Xiao Mubei laughed, "Of course, but riding in a carriage is too slow. If we can ride horses, it will be much faster."

"Horse riding," Chu Yunxi thought seriously for a while, "I don't know how to ride a horse, but I can learn. With my qualifications, I think it shouldn't be a difficult task."

So narcissistic.

Xiao Mubei didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "Then when we get back to Beijing, I'll help you find a docile horse and teach you how to ride when I'm free."

Chu Yunxi agreed happily.
