Time Travel and Love

Nightfall. Bamboo Garden.

Chu Qingmeng lay in bed, staring, not feeling sleepy at all. It had been more than twenty days since she came to this world, and she finally felt like she could calm down and think about everything that had happened in the past few days. Ever since she met them in the tomb, she had originally thought that this group of people had mistakenly entered the tomb like herself. At that time, she was even wondering if she needed to go to the mountains to cosplay. She hadn't taken it seriously at first, but she had actually come to this Dayu Dynasty in a daze. Although she was alone in the modern world and had nothing to miss, she was used to the days with the internet. Every day in the ancient times was so hard to endure. She didn't know when she could go back. It seemed that she had to find a way to make more money. Then she could hire some professional tomb robbers to take her to walk through the tomb again. That way, she would definitely be able to go back! Thinking of this, Chu Qingmeng fell asleep in a daze.

Meanwhile, in the main courtyard, Mo Chenfeng and his wife were still awake. Chen Siyu looked at Mo Chenfeng's almost healed wound and cried out in pity. Mo Chenfeng consoled him for a while before saying, "This incident was ultimately caused by those Yuezhi spies. I didn't expect there were so many Yuezhi spies hiding across the border. I need to discuss this with the Emperor. I'm afraid some of these people's heads are redundant."

"Ah, I don't understand the affairs of the court either. Just discuss it with the emperor. But I think Qing Meng doesn't care much about your proposal this afternoon. In my opinion, you should ask the emperor to make her a princess. That way she will be happy and at ease." Chen Siyu said to Mo Chenfeng as she changed his clothes. "It's obvious that the child doesn't like to be bound by constraints. When she is made a princess, if she wants to live outside, let her live in the house next door to us. If she doesn't want to go out, it would be nice to let her live in Cuizhu Garden forever."

"That's right! What happened this afternoon was just a spur-of-the-moment thing on my part, and I certainly didn't think it through." Mo Chenfeng paused before continuing, "Under those circumstances, she gave her only life-saving device (the safety bead) to me and Tong Liujin. I really don't know how to thank her. Her behavior and the things she brought weren't like what we have here, but she saved us, father and son, anyway. If she wants to stay, please keep her identity a secret and help cover it up for her."

"I understand." Chen Siyu nodded. "Okay, it's late, let's get ready!"

Qingfeng Courtyard.

Mo Liujin sat at his desk, book in hand, but he hadn't turned a page in two hours. He seemed to see her through the book, standing on the small platform at the entrance of the cave that day, dressed like a man, her hair neatly tied back. Her chubby face was filled with joy as she shouted from the platform, and her words were full of undisguised joy. He casually turned around and fell in love with her. He knew her dress was not ordinary, and he knew her appearance was not right, but the moment she fell off the platform, he still rushed over. Until she saved his life later, the soft touch of her hands on his forehead would probably be unforgettable.

Qingzeyuan.

Mo Liufang lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. His mind raced. When had his thoughts begun to follow Qingmeng? Was it when she saved Wushuang in the tomb? Or when she ignored him, a grown man, and prepared to dig the dirt herself? He couldn't remember. He just felt that she was different from other women he had met. She was innocent, and everything was written on her face. She had saved him and his group even though they were strangers. Mo Liufang sighed at this thought. She was too kind. This wasn't a good thing. Well, he would just protect her!

That night, people in each courtyard had different thoughts. Some slept soundly like dead pigs, like Mo Liuteng and Mo Liuchen. Some did not sleep all night, like Mo Liujin who pretended to read and Mo Liufang who was in a daze. Some were full of questions, like the brothers Mo Liuyuan and Mo Liujue.

The next morning, in the main hall.

Chu Qingmeng was woken up early in the morning by a few maids. When he saw them, his mind went blank for a moment before he remembered that they were the people the princess had assigned to him yesterday, Mammy Fu and Mammy Qi. While Chu Qingmeng was daydreaming, the two maids had already started preparing to change Chu Qingmeng's clothes. Chu Qingmeng's thoughts immediately returned to her mind and she waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Mammy Fu, Mammy Qi, I'll get dressed by myself. You can help me put on makeup later." The two maids agreed in unison. After Chu Qingmeng changed her clothes and washed up, the two maids came in and started to prepare her makeup. Chu Qingmeng really didn't want to be served. After all, she had been an orphan for sixteen years. Who had ever served her before? But makeup and hair in ancient times were too difficult. She really couldn't do it alone! The maids had to help.

Sure enough, in the hands of the two maids, Chu Qingmeng seemed to have a different head.
