Chapter 333 How long will the test last?
The butler looked regretful.
Two bad things happened in one day, how could he not be anxious!
Chen Yan also rushed over after hearing the news.
"What's wrong? What happened to Changqing?"
"It's okay!" Chen Yuerong felt a little guilty, "He accidentally fell into the pond and was taking a bath and changing clothes in it!"
"How could this happen? Changqing doesn't look like such a stupid person!"
"What's wrong? Who are you calling stupid?"
It was getting lively here, and King Rui's voice came from behind.
"Dad, you're back!"
Chen Yan was very happy to see Prince Rui.
For King Rui, being welcomed by his son when he returns home is the most gratifying thing for him now.
"What are you all doing here? Who is in this room?"
Chen Yuerong stammered, "Inside, inside is..."
"It's Lu Changqing inside. He accidentally fell into the pond!"
Chen Yan rushed to answer.
"What's going on?" Prince Rui immediately looked at the butler with sharp eyes.
Seeing that the housekeeper was a little flustered, Chen Yuerong had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Dad, Uncle Chen doesn't know about this. It's all my fault."
So Chen Yuerong explained the whole story.
However, under the gaze of Prince Rui, she did not dare to describe in detail the matter of apologizing to Lu Changqing, and only said that she went to talk to him.
After hearing this, King Rui could not help but blame him, "Yuerong, you are not a child anymore, why are you so tactless?
The King is a guest in our house, how can we let him go out on his own?"
"Dad, I didn't know he didn't know the way."
Chen Yuerong tried to defend herself.
King Rui was even more unhappy, "Your sister will come over tomorrow and let her teach you the rules!"
Chen Yuerong felt very aggrieved. When she was about to speak, the door of the room creaked open and Lu Changqing walked out: "Prince Rui, this matter has nothing to do with Princess Yuerong. It's my own fault."
Everyone standing in the yard looked at Lu Changqing.
He had just taken a shower and his hair was not dry yet, hanging in disarray at the back of his head. He looked a little wilder than his usual elegant look with a crown on his head.
Because there were only two men in the family, Prince Rui and Chen Yan, the maid could only find Prince Rui's clothes for Lu Changqing to wear.
Although Prince Rui was not as fat as Chen Yan, he had broad shoulders and was tall, so the clothes were very loose on Lu Changqing. He tied the belt around his waist very tightly, but still couldn't stop the clothes from sliding down his shoulders.
Chen Yuerong looked at his image, which was completely different from his usual appearance, and her face blushed unconsciously.
Prince Rui stepped forward and looked at Lu Changqing, and asked with concern: "How is Prince Qin's health? Is there anything wrong?"
Lu Changqing quickly bowed and said, "Prince Rui, please don't call me that. Just call me Changqing."
Prince Rui raised his hand and pointed inside the house, saying, "It's cold outside, Changqing, let's go inside and talk."
The two of them walked into the house, and Chen Yueting and Chen Yan followed them in.
After sitting down, King Rui asked again, "I heard that you fell into the pond. Are you feeling unwell now?"
"It's okay, I'm fine... Ah, a-choo!"
Lu Changqing wanted to say that he was in good health, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sneeze.
Just then, the maid brought some ginger and sugar water. Lu Changqing pinched his nose and gulped down the whole bowl of ginger and sugar water.
After putting down the bowl, he continued, "After I fell into the water, someone immediately fished me out, so it's nothing serious. King Rui doesn't need to worry."
"I hope you won't blame me for my poor hospitality."
"No, no!"
Lu Changqing waved his hand.
Chen Yan said at the side: "I told Changqing to sleep with me, but Changqing refused."
Prince Rui looked at his son seriously and said, "What's the use of Changqing? He's your aunt's younger brother. Logically, you should call him uncle."
"no!"
Before Chen Yan could speak, Chen Yuerong called out, "Dad, we agreed to talk about our own affairs. I can call Miss Lu aunt, but I can't call Mr. Lu uncle."
"Why is this?"
King Rui was puzzled.
Chen Yuerong glanced at Chen Yan, her cheeks flushed again, "No, it's not okay. If you call Miss Lu sister, do you have to call Miss Lu's mother aunt?"
Chen Yuerong's words frightened Lu Changqing so much that he stood up immediately, "No, this is not allowed!"
There was also a moment of embarrassment on King Rui's face.
"You little girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"So I say let's just talk about each other! Mr. Lu is a young master, and he is my brother's brother."
"Yes, that's more comfortable."
Lu Changqing echoed.
Chen Yan didn't care, "It's fine with me. I can be called anything."
Chen Yuerong glared at her brother, and scared Chen Yan so much that he stopped talking immediately.
Lu Changqing asked, "Since Prince Rui is back, my sister must have returned home as well, right?"
King Rui nodded: "Let's go back!"
"Okay, then I won't delay any longer. I'll go back to see my sister. Bye!"
As he said that, Lu Changqing stood up to leave. The housekeeper was about to see him off, but Chen Yuerong took the initiative to stand up and said, "Let me see you off. I was wrong in what I did today. I will see Mr. Lu off."
Lu Changqing did not refuse. He stood there and waited for a while. After Chen Yuerong picked up the lantern, the two of them walked towards the door together.
As soon as they left the courtyard, Chen Yuerong asked, "What happened to you today? Why did you fall into the pond?"
Lu Changqing was embarrassed to say it, but there was no one around except him and Chen Yuerong, so he said, "It was too dark, and I couldn't tell the direction. I thought it would be more convenient to go through the pond, and I didn't think too much about it."
Hearing his sincerity, Chen Yuerong couldn't help but giggle again.
The candlelight in the lantern flickered, reflecting on Chen Yuerong's face, as if a peach blossom was blooming in the dark night.
Lu Changqing suddenly felt soft in his heart when he saw this.
The original resentful emotions disappeared at this moment.
"Remember this, to get to the main gate from Chen Yan's courtyard, you must first pass this rockery, then go around this peach forest, and when you reach the end of the road, turn left and you will reach the main gate!
Aren't you quite smart? How come you can't even remember such a simple route?"
Chen Yuerong carefully explained to Li Mo the route she had taken, but in the end, she couldn't help but ask a question.
Lu Changqing's attention had been drawn to her chubby face. When she turned around to question him, he collected his thoughts and answered politely, "I'm OK in other aspects, but I'm a little bit behind in remembering the way."
Chen Yuerong sighed, "You can get lost in my house. If you go to court in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the palace!"
"Then I won't go to court."
Lu Changqing echoed what she said.
Chen Yuerong just thought he was stupid, and pointed at the gate and said, "That's the gate, go ahead, you can't get lost again this time, right?"
"No! Thank you, Princess Yuerong!"
Lu Changqing thanked him and turned to walk towards the door.
The Lu family's carriage had been waiting outside.
When the driver saw Lu Changqing coming out, he quickly jumped off the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Why are you dressed like this?"
Only then did Lu Changqing remember that he had not yet tied his hair.
"It's okay, I took a bath in the Rui Palace!"
As he said this, he got on the carriage, leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes slightly.
The driver was confused by what he heard, but he didn't dare to ask more about his master's affairs. He just turned his horse around and left Prince Rui's Palace.
Along the way, Lu Changqing always felt that the faint scent of peach blossoms was still lingering around him.
He waved his hands, trying to get rid of the smell from his nose, but the smell seemed to be planted in his memory and could not be shaken off.
