The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 42 Why is your mouth swollen?

At dawn, the heavy rain finally stopped.

Cao Kun, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory, knelt outside the imperial tent, waiting for the emperor to punish him.

The day for the emperor's travel was provided by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory after it had studied the weather. How could they have expected such a big mess to arise!

Inside the imperial tent, Concubine Shu was serving the emperor breakfast.

The Queen was tired from the journey yesterday and went to bed early at night, and Concubine Shu slept with her.

However, Concubine Shu was already nearly forty years old, and although she was serving the emperor in the imperial bedchamber, she was merely sleeping with him. Neither the emperor nor she had any romantic feelings for each other anymore.

But even so, being able to sleep with the emperor was a great favor. At this moment, she was smiling as she added a spoonful of Jade Porridge to the emperor's bowl. "Last night's sudden rain, while disturbing your Majesty's sleep, did help to dispel the autumn heat during this hunting trip. When I woke this morning, I felt a refreshing sense of refreshment, like the sound of fresh rain in the empty mountains."

The emperor ate a small dish and drank the porridge from Concubine Shu's hand. "It's hard for you to come up with such an excuse to plead for mercy for that useless thing. The heat has washed away, but I'm afraid you won't be able to hunt today."

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's a good opportunity to relax for a day. After you have rested, you can go hunting in the mountains. You will surely have a good harvest."

The Imperial Observatory was indeed incompetent, but the emperor himself was not a man who liked killing. Seeing Concubine Shu repeatedly pleading for mercy, he ordered: "Tell the man surnamed Cao to go back and not get in my way."

Cao Kun finally stopped sweating.

On the way back to the camp, he happened to see the Second Prince Wu Tianchi. He quickly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life!"

Wu Tianchi bent down and helped him up: "It's not a big deal. I just couldn't bear to see Lord Cao implicated in such a small matter, so I said a few words in front of my mother."

The more he spoke, the more grateful Cao Kun felt: "The Imperial Observatory has committed a grave error, disrupting the Emperor and the princes' hunting trip. They truly deserve death! Your Highness's words saved the lives of dozens of us at the Imperial Observatory! Your Highness's great kindness is beyond our ability to repay, even if we die."

Wu Tianchi smiled amiably, "Master Cao's words are getting more and more outrageous. It was just a simple task, so don't take it to heart. I think you've been frightened all night, so you should go back to your tent and rest early."

After sending Cao Kun away, a man dressed as an attendant stepped forward from behind Wu Tianchi and said, "In this way, the Imperial Observatory will owe Your Highness a great favor."

Wu Tianchi nodded and said, "When the time is right, I will ask for it." "I understand!"

"Has everything been dealt with?"

"I have dealt with all those who altered the weather in the Imperial Observatory. Your Highness, please rest assured."

After waking up, Xu Rongrong was dressing herself in front of the mirror with a strange expression on her face.

Because, it's not hard to see from the mirror...her lips are swollen.

Moreover, it was severely swollen.

"Did you use the insect repellent sachet last night?" she asked.

Wen Yao nodded: "I have hung up the sachet."

"Then why would a poisonous insect bite me?" Xu Rongrong frowned.

Wen Yao took the ointment and gently applied it to Xu Rongrong.

Last night, before leaving, the Marquis instructed, "Today's events were sudden. I had no choice but to break into your tent in the middle of the night. Your young lady is a person of respect and respect. If she knew, she would be uncomfortable. Therefore, there's no need to mention what happened tonight. Also... she just had a severe headache and bit her lip, so she's swollen. Remember to apply medicine to her when she wakes tomorrow."

If the Marquis had not come to the rescue, the young lady would have had a hard time last night.

Therefore, Wen Yao followed Mu Rong's instructions and concealed what happened last night, saying only, "The young lady had a headache last night. Perhaps she bit you when she was feeling the pain?"

Xu Rongrong looked in the mirror and saw that it really looked like a bite mark.

Oh, when will this headache be cured?

After breakfast, she noticed that Wen Yao's eyes were dark blue, thinking that she had not slept the whole night, so she left her in the tent to rest and left the tent alone.

Mu Rong had been waiting outside. Seeing her come out, he greeted her with a smile and said, "Miss, did you sleep well last night?"

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at her red lips intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Rongrong felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, but she was in public after all, so she had to restrain her temper: "Thank you for your concern, my lord. Everything is fine."

"Is this the Miss Xu that our Brother Rong has taken a fancy to? She is indeed a knowledgeable and polite person." A woman walked over with a hearty laugh.

Mu Rong stood beside Xu Rongrong and leaned over to introduce her in her ear, "This is the Third Prince's Consort." Xu Rongrong knelt and saluted, "My humble daughter, Xu Rongrong, greets the Third Prince's Consort."

The visitor smiled and told her to excuse herself: "No need to be polite, we are all family. Although I am a prince's consort, I am also Rong'er's cousin. You can just call me sister."

The third prince’s wife was Wu Mu, whose maiden name was Qianyin.

In the previous life, Xu Rongrong had only been heard of but never seen. All that was known was that she died tragically in her mansion on the eve of the Third Prince's uprising. People rumored that she committed suicide.

Seeing her now, Xu Rongrong felt that she was very cheerful and capable, and did not seem like someone who would commit suicide.

Perhaps because they are blood relatives, Mu Qianyin and Mu Rong have similar eyes and eyebrows. She is not as petite as other women, but is half a head taller than Xu Rongrong. Her gestures are open and clear, and her eyes are full of spirit.

Such a person was very much in line with Xu Rongrong's temperament, so she did not refuse: "Sister Mu." This title included her own surname, and Mu Qianyin liked it very much.

She took Xu Rongrong's hand and said, "I'll take you around."

Mu Rong didn't want Xu Rongrong to be taken away like this, so he asked, "Why are you alone? Where is the Third Prince?"

Mu Qianyin raised her eyebrows and said, "We are siblings, so don't mention that person in front of me."
