Forced love, an inescapable fate

Mu Qingli looked at the palace maid in front of her who called herself Lan Fang. Although her eyes were not as penetrating as Jiang Ci's, considering the treatment they had received during this period, she was naturally not stupid enough to think that the woman in front of her was really as harmless as she seemed, and it was even more impossible for her to have any good intentions towards her and Jiang Ci.

What you think in your heart is one thing, but what you actually do is another.

In less than a month since arriving here, she has experienced the cruelty of this world. This place is completely different from the civilized society she lived in before.

Therefore, we must be careful and cautious at every step, and we must not take lightly every word we say and every action we take.

She just raised her head and gave the person in front of her a bright smile.

"Miss Lan Fang, from now on, we'll be taking care of each other. Where is my brother and I's dormitory? Could you please take us there?"

Mu Qingli spoke quite politely.

Lan Fang was only slightly surprised by her performance, and still had a decent smile on her face.

She just nodded and spoke to the two of them.

"Sixth Prince, Princess Qingli, let's go. I'll take you there."

Mu Qingli followed behind her, carefully looking at the palace they were in. It looked much better than before, but it was just a new cage after all. She didn't want to stay here for the rest of her life.

After Lan Fang brought the two to their residence, Mu Qingli discovered that her residence and Jiang Ci's were only separated by an archway.

This is better. Since they live close to each other, they can take care of each other and it is more convenient.

The palace maid named Lan Fang was obviously the one in charge here. She pointed to two young eunuchs to follow Jiang Ci and gave them detailed instructions.

"From now on, you two will serve the Sixth Prince personally. If anything goes wrong with the Sixth Prince, watch your heads."

The two young eunuchs lowered their heads and answered.

"I understand, Sister Lan Fang."

Jiang Ci seemed very restrained and glanced at Mu Qingli nervously. Mu Qingli thought he was just scared and gave him a reassuring smile. Jiang Ci then followed the eunuch into the room.

After seeing the people go in, she said to Lan Fang on the side: "Let's go, Miss Lan Fang."

Lan Fang nodded, but her expression changed the moment she turned around.

This Mu Qingli really thinks of herself as the master, but why is her behavior now completely different from before? And I heard that even the Fifth Princess didn't get any benefits from her a few days ago.

Although she was resentful, when she arrived at the door of Mu Qingli's bedroom and turned around again, her face had returned to the same smile as before.

"Princess Qingli, this is your bedroom. Your clothes and other things are ready. Hot water is also ready. I will have someone serve you to bathe and change clothes."

Mu Qingli waved her hand. She didn't have the habit of being watched by others while taking a bath or changing clothes.

"I can do it myself, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll call you if I need anything."

Seeing this, Lan Fang could only smile and nodded.

"In that case, we will wait outside. If you need anything, please call us at any time."

"Okay, got it."

After everyone left, Mu Qingli walked into the bedroom and looked around carefully.

The antique bedroom is arranged in an orderly manner. The intricately carved screen is painted with a lifelike peony pattern. An exquisitely carved rosewood couch is quietly placed in the corner, covered with soft brocade and decorated with light pink curtains, which looks warm and comfortable.

Mu Qingli sat on it and tried it out. It was indeed very soft. Even if she fell straight down, she would not feel any pain like before.

While thinking this, she had already lay down and rolled around comfortably.

In any case, the current situation is indeed much better than before, but they suddenly did this, there must be some other purpose, but what could it be?

The sticky feeling on her body made her very uncomfortable. She remembered that Lan Fang had said that hot water was ready before she came in, but she had not taken a hot bath since she came here.

After getting up from the bed, she slowly walked to the back of the room and saw the steaming bathtub behind the screen. Mu Qingli was so excited that she wanted to cry.

God knows how she felt taking showers with that cold water during this period.

After stripping off her clothes in a few seconds, she put herself in the bathtub. Her body was soaked in the warm water, and she felt so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

However, she still didn't dare to let her guard down in this unfamiliar place. After running for a while, she came out.

When she opened the wardrobe in the room and saw the clothes hanging inside, she couldn't help but be amazed.

This treatment is completely different from before. I don’t know what these people are planning.

It took her a long time to change into this complicated ancient costume. She then thought that she should have a good rest now. Anyway, for the time being, these people should not cause her any trouble.

She took off the clothes she had just changed into and only wore a white inner garment. After drying her hair with a dry cloth, she lay back on the bed. Although she kept telling herself that the situation was unclear and she must be cautious, her eyelids began to droop after a while and she soon fell asleep.

She slept very comfortably.

When she woke up again, it was already afternoon.

She was a little dazed from sleep, and for a moment she looked at the unfamiliar place and didn't react.

Just when she was still dazed, there was a knock on the door, and Lan Fang's voice was heard at the same time.

"Princess, are you awake? It's time for dinner."

Only when she heard Lan Fang's voice did she react.

She answered "OK" to the door, then got out of bed and put on her clothes.

After she walked out the door, Lan Fang, who was waiting outside, put away the impatience on her face and put on a familiar smile again.

However, when she waited for the person in front of her, her eyes were full of shock.

The woman in front of me was wearing a pink palace dress with a white light-patterned satin ribbon tied around her waist. It was slender and showed off her graceful figure. Her hair was simply tied up with a light-colored headband. Although her face was not made up, she was still very charming, especially her eyes, which were clear and bright, no longer as timid as before. When she looked at people, she seemed to be able to see through their hearts.

Even though she was a woman, Lan Fang was dazzled by the person in front of her.

Why didn't I notice before that she was so beautiful?

Mu Qingli didn't notice her expression. She hadn't slept enough and couldn't help yawning.

She tilted her head and asked Lan Fang, "Where's my brother?"

Lan Fang suppressed her emotions and replied with a smile, "The Sixth Prince has been waiting in the main hall for quite some time. Let's go, Princess."

Mu Qingli nodded and walked forward with her.

When her figure appeared in Jiang Ci's sight, Jiang Ci was also stunned.

Mu Qingli seemed to be much more beautiful today than before, especially her eyes. When she looked at him, he always felt that her eyes would see through his secrets.

Jiang Ci also changed his clothes. He was wearing a light blue brocade robe, his black hair was tied up with a headband of the same color, his eyes were dark and bright, and his incredibly handsome face exuded a noble and extraordinary temperament.

When Mu Qingli walked towards him, the corners of her mouth turned up and the smile in her eyes could not be stopped.
