Time Travel and Love

"Princess, the prince, the young lady, and several young masters have already entered the city gate. The prince sent me to report ahead. They are almost at the gate of the mansion now." Butler Liu Quan bowed and reported to the beautiful young woman sitting above.

"Yes, I understand." Although the beautiful woman didn't say much, she couldn't contain her joy. She looked at another ordinary-looking woman sitting at the lower seat beside her and said, "The prince has returned. Come with me to greet him."

"Yes." The woman responded with a smile, stood up and saluted the princess, then walked forward to support the princess as they walked towards the gate of the mansion.

By this time, Mo Chenfeng and his companions had already arrived at the gate of the mansion. They threw the carriage and horses to the servants and walked into the mansion. Just as they reached the outer courtyard, they saw the princess coming out, supported by a woman. Chu Qingmeng was stunned at the first sight of her and murmured to himself, "As graceful as a startled swan, as gentle as a flying dragon, as glorious as an autumn chrysanthemum, as luxuriant as a spring pine. She is as beautiful as a light cloud covering the moon, and fluttering like snowflakes blown by a wind. From a distance, she is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow. From a close look, she is as dazzling as a lotus emerging from the emerald water. Her slenderness is just right, and her height is just right. Such poems are probably written for such a beauty as this one?" Mo Wushuang listened and covered his mouth with his hands, laughing secretly. Mo Chenfeng walked forward and said softly, "Yu'er, why did you come out? You are not feeling well, just wait in the house."

"I'm fine, my husband." Princess Chen Siyu smiled sweetly, her eyes full of love.

"Greetings, Your Highness." The woman bowed to Mo Chenfeng.

"Get up," Mo Chenfeng looked at the woman and smiled, "Thank you for taking care of the princess during the time I was away. Come on, let's go in first." After saying that, he helped Chen Siyu in again.

In the main hall, Mo Chenfeng and Chen Siyu took their seats, while the woman from before sat in the first seat below the princess.

"Your son Liufang greets mother! I haven't seen you for several months. Are you doing well?" Mo Liufang was the first to step forward and kowtow.

"Okay, okay, everything is fine." Chen Siyu looked at her son with an expression of joy that she couldn't hide. "Get up quickly."

"Greetings, Young Master." The woman stood up, bowed to Mo Liufang, and said softly, "Young Master, are you well?"

"Auntie, please stand up." Mo Liufang helped the woman up, "Sit down quickly."

"My sons, Mo Liujin, Mo Liuchen, and Mo Liuteng, greet my mother. Greetings." The three of them knelt together and saluted. The princess also asked them to stand up and sit down quickly.

"Auntie," Mo Liujin turned and knelt before the woman, "Greetings, Auntie." Chu Qingmeng saw the woman looking at Mo Liujin with tears in her eyes, her face full of admiration, and helped Mo Liujin up. "Third Master, get up quickly and sit down to rest. You must be exhausted from the journey, right?"

"My daughter greets mother. I wish you good health." Mo Wushuang smiled widely and said coquettishly to the princess, "Mother, I miss you."

Chu Qingmeng felt a little embarrassed. After all, the family was happily reunited, while he had never had a family and didn't know what to do. But he was a guest after all, so he couldn't lose his manners. So he imitated Mo Wushuang and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Princess. Greetings, Princess." After that, he turned to Aunt Liu and said, "Greetings, Aunt."

"What is this?" Chen Siyu glanced at Chu Qingmeng and asked Mo Chenfeng.

"Oh, look at my memory! I was so busy talking to you that I forgot something so important!" He then asked Chu Qingmeng to sit down quickly and said to the princess, "She is my savior. If it weren't for her, Liu Jin and I would have died on the road..."

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Siyu and everyone present understood the entire story. Chen Siyu took Chu Qingmeng's hand and said, "Thanks to you, good boy! I have to thank you."

"I dare not," Chu Qingmeng hastily declined. "It was just a small favor, I don't deserve your thanks. But I've been an orphan since I was young, no one taught me etiquette. If I was rude just now, please don't take it to heart, Your Highness."

Chu Qingmeng also learned from some history books that the etiquette and hierarchy in ancient times were very strict, and she was afraid of offending these powerful people.

"Mother, you really amazed Sister Qingmeng just now?" Seeing the princess's questioning look, Mo Wushuang said with a smile, "Sister Qingmeng said you were 'graceful as a startled swan, graceful as a swimming dragon. Rong... Rong...' Rong what? Sister Qingmeng."

Chu Qingmeng covered her face and sighed inwardly. Could she even hear her whisper? Without showing it, she replied, "Glorious autumn chrysanthemums, flourishing spring pines. Their beauty is like the moon obscured by a light cloud, drifting like snowflakes blown by a wind. From afar, they are as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow. Closer inspection reveals them as radiant as lotus flowers emerging from the emerald waters. Their slenderness is perfectly balanced, their height and shortness are perfectly proportioned. Their shoulders are as if carved, their waist as slender as a willow. Their neck is long and slender, their white skin revealed. Their fragrance is unparalleled, even the most delicate makeup cannot cover them. Such poetry is probably used to describe a woman as beautiful as the princess."

Chen Siyu's face turned red unconsciously when she was praised by her. This child's words are really pleasing!

Mo Chenfeng laughed heartily, an idea coming to his mind, and he immediately said, "Qing Meng, how about I take you in as my adopted daughter?"

"Huh?" Chu Qingmeng was stunned. What was going on? I hadn't mentioned this before. I didn't want to stay, but would a direct refusal save the prince's face? After all, the master and his servants were standing all over the room.

Mo Chenfeng saw Chu Qingmeng's embarrassment and said, "It's just a sudden thought. You can think about it slowly and don't rush to reply to me. Whether it works or not, we are all family."

Chu Qingmeng nodded, grumbling inwardly, "I don't want to be your family. I have to find a way to go home. Even if I can't go back, I don't want to live in this big house. It would be better if I had a shop to make money, build three big tiled houses, and live a simple life. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Whether it's modern or ancient, I just want to lie down!"

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone returned to their respective courtyards. Mo Wushuang had originally wanted Chu Qingmeng to live with her, but the princess felt that Mo Wushuang's boisterous personality would disturb others, so she arranged for Chu Qingmeng to live in the courtyard next to Mo Wushuang's.
