Time Travel and Love

"..." Dong Yun had only seen Chu Qingmeng during the palace coup and the palace banquet, and had never interacted with her, so he didn't know her personality. Hearing her speak like this, he knew that today's matter would not end well.

"Please forgive me, Princess. This child is the only one born after my youngest son's death. If there is any sin committed, I, as his grandfather, will bear the responsibility. I hope that Princess will forgive me..."

"The Grand Tutor is about the same age as my father, so he must understand better that spoiling a child is like killing him." Chu Qingmeng interrupted him. She didn't insist that Dong Yun punish Dong Mingzhu. After all, she was just a little spoiled and willful, but she hadn't done anything harmful. "Miss Dong is still young and doesn't understand the consequences of her actions. The Grand Tutor should teach her a lesson. If my son gets tempted by her beauty, what will the Grand Tutor do now? He is a married man, and I won't agree to divorce her without reason. What other options does he have?"

Dong Yun remained silent. He knew everything, but he just couldn't bring himself to discipline Mingzhu. His wife was his second wife, so as long as she didn't torture Mingzhu, it would be good enough. How could he dare to expect her to educate Mingzhu! After all, this was the only child left by his beloved youngest son.

"I understand your love for your son, Grand Tutor, but the right thing to do is to guide him into the right path." Seeing Dong Yun's reluctance, Chu Qingmeng wasn't sure if her words would work, so she added, "Grand Tutor, there are differences between men and women. So, I hope what happened today won't happen again."

Dong Yun came back to his senses and bowed, "Of course, Princess, please rest assured."

Everyone said goodbye and left. Mo Jiangche helped Chu Qingmeng out of the door. The servant had already driven the carriage over. Chu Qingmeng got on the carriage and was silent for a long time. It seemed that he was almost assimilated. He kept talking about the differences between men and women. When had he ever cared about these things before?

Seeing Chu Qingmeng in a daze, the three of them remained silent until Jingming came back, "Master, I'm back."

"Well, go and rest for two days. Remember to take medicine."

Jingming responded and rode away from the team.

The few of them chatted with Chu Qingmeng and soon returned to the palace. As soon as they got off the car, Mo Jiangheng was called back by the palace servant. Mo Jiangli said goodbye and left.

Chu Qingmeng returned to his own yard and fell asleep immediately. He slept until dinner time before waking up reluctantly.

Mo Liujin sat by the bed with a book, waiting for her to wake up. Seeing that she was drowsy and couldn't open her eyes, he couldn't help but step forward and touch her face. "Are you tired from playing? You've been sleeping for two hours."

"Well, are you done?" Chu Qingmeng stretched out his hand, looking like he was asking for a hug.

Mo Liujin directly hugged the person into his arms, "We are almost done with the work. The tribute banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go? Or why not stay at the mansion? The tribute banquet is different from usual days. I am afraid it will last from the evening hour to the evening hour. I am afraid you can't hold on."

Chu Qingmeng shook his head. "I want to go and take a look. I heard that some people from Xiqi are coming this time. I want to see what makes them different from us."

"What's so good about them? They're just some blue-eyed, red-haired ghosts." Mo Liujin rubbed her hair, and in his heart he didn't really want Eleven to see her.

"Hmm?" Chu Qingmeng had thought it was a blond European, but it turned out to be red? He was a little curious, "Blue eyes like mine?"

Mo Liujin paused for a moment and kissed her face lightly, "Not as pretty as Madam's."

"..." Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Understanding him, Chu Qingmeng comforted herself, "I want to go and see. If I can't hold on any longer, I'll tell you. At worst, I can let Shuang Cheng take my place in the second half."

Mo Liujin was silent for a long while before he responded. The next morning, Chu Qingmeng chose to get up again and continue practicing Tai Chi while watching the father and his two sons practice spear fighting.

Mo Liuyuan and Mu Lingxue arrived soon after. Seeing the family of four doing morning exercises, Mu Lingxue smiled and walked over to Chu Qingmeng to practice with her. "Up so early? That's rare!"

Chu Qingmeng performed a Tai Chi push-hands movement and said, "You know I can't get up so early, but you still come?"

"I just wanted to wake you up." Mu Lingxue followed Chu Qingmeng and did a knee-hugging step. "Who knew you would get up so early?"

"Quan Si said I lack exercise." Chu Qingmeng's cross-arms slowly pushed forward. "If you have something to say, just say it. Stop wasting time."

"It's okay, I just came to chat with you." Mu Lingxue didn't lie, she was just bored and wanted to play with her for a while.

"That's fine. The clothes for tomorrow's tribute banquet are ready and will probably be delivered soon. I've also prepared a set for you. Can you try it later?" He slowly threw out a move called "Wild Horse Parting Mane".

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. When did you become so proficient in Tai Chi?" Mu Lingxue followed her and began to imitate the movements of waving the pipa. "Alright, let's try it later."

"Proficient? Didn't you learn it as a kid?" Chu Qingmeng and Mu Lingxue were chatting away. Turning around, they saw Mo Liuyuan joining the morning exercise group. Chu Qingmeng paused, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Mo Liuyuan, but addressed Mu Lingxue, "You two came here for morning exercise?"
