Qin Yizhen slept very soundly, without any more nightmares. It was as if she had experienced a quiet and peaceful time. When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright daylight outside.

She woke up groggily and saw the unfamiliar blue curtains. She was puzzled for a moment and felt confused about where she was.

As her memories returned, she was so startled that she sat up in bed.

"Someone is coming."

Upon hearing the sound, Lü Qiao came in carrying a copper tray: "Princess, you're awake."

"Where is Cheng Yan?" Qin Yizhen lifted the green curtain and saw that the room was simply and coldly furnished. There was only a dressing table and a chest of drawers opposite, without even a vase or painting.

It was deserted and quiet, unlike his dormitory, more like a temporary lodging. He quickly grabbed a few important things and left.

“The Marquis left at dawn. Princess, you forgot? Today the army is returning in triumph, and the Marquis must go outside the city to greet them.” Green Qiao placed the bronze plate on a shelf to the side, and then came over to hang the blue curtain on the golden sparrow hook.

Yes, Qin Yizhen suddenly realized that today was the day the army would arrive in Qin capital, so she asked, "What time is it now?"

It's 9 o'clock.

It was already past 9 AM, and Qin Yizhen suddenly became anxious: "Then why didn't you wake me up?"

Lü Qiao smiled and said, "Princess, don't be in a hurry. The Marquis said that you should sleep a little longer and have some food when you wake up. It's not too late to go to the palace at noon. If you go too early, you will have to deal with those ladies."

Qin Yizhen only needs to attend the palace banquet this afternoon as a princess and the wife of the Marquis of Pingxi. It doesn't matter whether she goes to greet the army in the morning or not. She just needs to be there when the banquet starts in the afternoon and be polite.

Green Qiao chuckled to herself, "Princess, the Marquis is just feeling sorry for you."

Qin Yizhen wanted to say that she actually wanted to join Empress Dowager Cheng in welcoming the army's triumphant return, but it was too late now, and the time had already passed, so there was no point in saying anything more.

She looked down at her somewhat oversized nightgown, and blushed as she wondered whose it was. She dared not think about who had changed it.

She bit her lip, biting so hard that she gasped for breath.

She said angrily, "Where are my clothes? Bring me my clothes. I will change at the Spring Resting Courtyard and then change my clothes before entering the palace."

"The princess's clothes are here. I hung them up last night when I helped her change, but two of them were damaged. I brought new ones this morning."

Qin Yizhen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Lu Qiao had changed the clothes, but the next moment she heard Lu Qiao say that "two of them were damaged", and she was annoyed again, but she couldn't vent her anger in front of Lu Qiao, so she had to keep it to herself.

"Quickly fetch my clothes, I'm going back."

Shame!

That's really embarrassing!

She stayed here for one night, and who knows how many embarrassing things she caused. She dared not think about what kind of rumors had spread throughout the mansion.

Fortunately, she now understands that she shouldn't care too much about what others say or think. If it were her previous self, she doesn't know how long she would have been angry and wouldn't have wanted to talk to him for a long time.

Qin Yizhen washed her face and rinsed her mouth, then changed back into her clothes from last night. She had Lü Qiao tie her hair up, and finally stuffed the undergarments and waist sash she had taken off into her bundle to take with her.

Seeing that her face was flushed, Lü Qiao whispered a reminder to her, "Princess, things from Qinghui Garden are not allowed to be taken out without the Marquis's permission."

"Not even me?"

“Of course, a princess is fine, but…” Green Bridge stammered, her face turning red.

"But what?" Qin Yizhen asked her.

"However, there will be guards checking everyone at the gate before you can be taken away..."

Qin Yizhen: "??"

Qin Yizhen's expression froze.

If it were anything else, it wouldn't matter, but this thing is being inspected? Does she have no shame?

Not to mention that the guard could absolutely not check her undergarments, and after looking at them and finding they were broken, he might be wondering what exciting things the couple had done last night.

"...Then what should we do?"

Lvqiao suggested, "Why don't we ask Butler Zhou? He can take it after he's looked at it."

"What's the difference?"

What's the difference between what Steward Zhou saw and what the guards saw?

Qin Yi was so angry that she stomped her foot on the spot, "It's all that shameless person's fault!"

well.

Over the course of the day, Qin Yizhen's way of addressing Cheng Yan had changed from "Lord Marquis" to "Cheng Yan" to "Bastard," and now it had become "That Shameless One."

Lü Qiao inwardly complained, but there was nothing she could do about it: "What can we do?"

Qin Yizhen held the package as if it were a hot potato; she wanted to throw it away but didn't know where to throw it, and she wanted to take it but couldn't. She was caught in a dilemma.

"Why don't we burn it?" Green Bridge suddenly suggested.

Qin Yizhen's eyes lit up, thinking it was a good idea; if they burned it, they wouldn't have to take it with them. But then she thought about it again and realized something was wrong: "No, no, if we burn things in his room, the guards will rush in soon."

Qin Yizhen walked around the room and finally stuffed the package under the dresser containing Cheng Yan's clothes: "I'll leave it like this for now. I'll talk to him about it next time he's here, and then I'll take it with me."

Green Qiao blinked at her, her eyes seemingly filled with a clear foolishness.

Qin Yizhen blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, no... Hahaha, Princess, you're so clever! That's great, that's great..."

By the way, are you sure you can get away unscathed if you come back to the Marquis next time and ask him to take these things?

As a result, the clothes they're wearing might tear to shreds.

However, since it was a matter between the couple, Lü Qiao didn't dare to say much and let them do what they wanted. After a few more times, their relationship might become even closer.

By then, the chubby little master that Granny Gui has been hoping for will be born, so she won't take her anger out on these little maids anymore.

Qin Yizhen was completely unaware of this, only feeling that she had found a good solution, and then she left Qinghui Garden with Lüqiao and returned to Chunxie Courtyard with light steps.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Granny Gui immediately had the prepared meal brought up, stood aside to serve her food, and looked at her with a loving expression.

"Princess, please have some. The lotus seed fish balls at your residence are especially delicious today, and the lotus porridge is also exceptionally good. In addition, I also had the kitchen prepare a special dish of bird's nest soup. Please have some as well."

Looking at her loving expression, Qin Yizhen felt a chill run down her spine: "Granny, I can do it myself, don't bother. If you have a moment, go check the clothes and jewelry for entering the palace later, so as to avoid any mistakes."

When Granny Gui heard that it was important, she stopped watching her and put down her chopsticks to check.

Qin Yizhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly moved the porridge aside, ate a few fish balls and drank a couple of sips of soup, and that was considered her meal.

We'll be going to the palace soon. If we eat too much, it will be troublesome to use the restroom. Just have a little something to tide us over until we're not hungry.

She had just wiped her mouth with a handkerchief when a maid came to report that Wang Xianrong had arrived.
