Chapter 14 Moving Out of the Palace

After telling the princess that she was going to move out, the princess ordered the servants to clean the house next door. She also gave her the indentures of Chunhe and Xiazhi, and selected a group of housekeepers for her to send to the house next door. Chu Qingmeng was very grateful for this. She didn't expect that someone in this strange world would treat her so sincerely.

Mo Liujin frowned deeply after learning the reasons behind Chu Qingmeng's move out of the palace. He gazed out the window for a long time and sighed. He called over the servant beside him and asked him to take out the deeds to several shops and send them to Chu Qingmeng as a congratulations on her move. He himself sat back at his desk and continued reading.

When Chu Qingmeng received the housewarming gifts from his brothers, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. The royal family is indeed rich. They often give shops, gold, silver, jewelry and servants as gifts.

Chu Qingmeng quietly moved into the mansion next door. She hadn't been inside since receiving the reward, but now, standing at the doorway, she couldn't help but gasp. The grandeur of this mansion's entrance was not much different from that of Prince Rong's mansion next door. The characters "Chu's Residence" on the gate were also written by Mo Chenfeng, their characters vigorous and powerful, with a sense of Yan Jin Liu Gu's style. The entire mansion had seven courtyards, less than half the size of Prince Rong's mansion. Even so, Chu Qingmeng could not help but marvel at it. The courtyard was filled with rockery, streams, pavilions, towers, bamboo groves, and gardens. Chu Qingmeng lived in the main courtyard at the back of the courtyard. There were nearly a hundred servants sent by the prince's mansion, all under the unified management of the prince's mansion. Chu Qingmeng understood that the princess was worried that she wouldn't be able to manage the household well and would be bullied by the servants.

A month passed by the time Chu Qingmeng moved from the palace to the Chu residence and became familiar with the entire house.

That day, Chu Qingmeng was planning her 'outing trip' when the servant announced that Mo Wushuang had arrived. Before he even arrived, a playful voice entered the room, "Sister Qingmeng, you really have your own yard and you're ignoring me now."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingmeng quickly put down the map in his hand and walked out to greet him. "I just finished familiarizing myself with the courtyard and was just about to ask someone to invite you over! You can't help but come here on your own."

"Ah, it's my mother," Mo Wushuang sat down with Chu Qingmeng, pouting and saying helplessly, "The imperial examination is coming up soon, and my brothers are all going to take the exam this year. Mother won't let me leave the yard, saying she's afraid of disturbing them. I finally begged Mother to come to your place to relax."

Chu Qingmeng covered his mouth and laughed secretly when he heard this. Wushuang really couldn't stay still. "In that case, I'll take you out for some fun so you don't get too cooped up!" He then pulled Mo Wushuang up and said, "Let's go fishing and barbecue in the bamboo forest!"

After ordering the servants to prepare all the necessary items, the two of them started laughing and playing in the bamboo forest. The aroma of barbecue aroused Chu Qingmeng's appetite, so he asked Chunhe to get a pot of sweet wine, and he and Wushuang started drinking it, one cup at a time. After a pot of sweet wine, Chu Qingmeng was still not satisfied, but Mo Wushuang was already drunk, lying on the edge of the table and shouting that she didn't want to learn needlework anymore. Chu Qingmeng looked at the sky that was about to get dark, and hurriedly asked Chunhe and Xiazhi to help Mo Wushuang's personal maid to send her back to the palace, while he picked up a jar of wine and continued to drink.

It had been nearly half a year since arriving here, and for the most part, she'd been enjoying the company of Mo Wushuang and the others. Chu Qingmeng had gradually grown accustomed to this kind of life. She'd always been a loner, used to the quiet, but this past month after moving out of the palace, it had been... so unbearably quiet. Chu Qingmeng chuckled to herself and took another sip of wine. What was there to be unaccustomed to? Hadn't we always lived like this? How could one become so accustomed to the bustle and yet find the quiet so difficult to adapt to? After a few sips of sweet wine, Chu Qingmeng, carrying the jar, headed for the main courtyard. Chun and Xia Zhi had already returned, hurriedly helping Chu Qingmeng back to the main courtyard. They tried to wrest the jar from her, but she refused to let go. No one could stop her, so she guzzled a few more gulps before finally agreeing to let go. By the time they'd finally reached their room, the moon was already high in the sky.

Chu Qingmeng was alternately lucid and dazed, his head spinning. He fell asleep the moment he lay down on the bed, leaving the sobering soup Chunhe had prepared unused. Seeing his master fast asleep, the two of them decided to leave Xiazhi to watch the night, while Chunhe would take care of him the next morning while Xiazhi went to rest. They had expected Chu Qingmeng to wake up and make a scene, but Xiazhi didn't wake up until the middle of the night, and leaning against the bed, Xiazhi couldn't help but doze off.

Just when Xia Zhi was about to fall asleep, Chu Qingmeng woke up. She drowsily looked at the person standing beside the bed. This person... well... what a great figure! Broad shoulders and narrow waist, even through his clothes you can feel that he must have eight-pack abs! She drooled as she looked at him, but due to the effects of alcohol, she couldn't move. In her heart, she shouted, "Handsome guy, come over here and let me touch you, okay?"

The person who originally just wanted to come and see her was also stunned when he saw Chu Qingmeng staring at him so straight. Especially the straightforwardness flashing in her eyes was particularly conspicuous in this dark room, making it difficult for him to understand what she was thinking!
