With the emperor's order on his head, Xu Rongrong knew that there was no room for negotiation on the hunting matter.

It has been more than a month since she came back from rebirth, and she has taken full control of many things.

Only when she met Mu Rong, nothing pleased her.

And all these things were related to the emperor's order, leaving her as a young girl unable to compete.

She was annoyed and felt that the man in front of her acted like a different person, so she raised her head and looked directly at him: "Master Marquis seems to be different from before?"

"Oh?" Mu Rong raised his eyebrows. He was a whole head taller than Xu Rongrong. He leaned down and looked at her level, "Miss, have you seen me before?"

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Mu Rong's eyes were clear, which made Xu Rongrong feel a little uncomfortable. She turned her face away and said, "The Marquis is famous and famous. My little girl has heard about it a lot."

Mu Rong smiled slightly: "What do others say about me?"

"Others say that the Marquis is a born brave general, with a formidable strategy and a decisive attack. He is always invincible on the battlefield. But when he gets off the battlefield, he treats others indifferently and is difficult to approach, like an iceberg that cannot be warmed."

Seeing the anger slowly rising in her eyes while she was talking, Mu Rong curled his lips and said, "The evaluation from outsiders is quite fair."

He took two steps closer: "Then what kind of person am I in the eyes of the eldest lady?"

Behind Xu Rongrong was the corridor pillar, and she had no way to retreat.

Looking at his face that was getting closer and his thin lips that had flirted with her twice, Xu Rongrong glared at her: "My daughter respects the general as a human being, but what she has seen recently is that the general's behavior is very frivolous?"

Mu Rong hesitated slightly, a layer of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Indeed, he had just had a charming thought in his heart, and every time he met her, he could not control himself.He obviously didn't want to scare her, but he offended her again.

The frivolous comment...is actually fair.

Mu Rong took a few steps back to make room for Xu Rongrong.

After thinking for a moment, he changed his expression:

"As others have said, I am a cold-hearted person. I have been hurt deeply without even realizing it. But at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, you were targeted by Wu Ping. I saw that you, a weak woman, dared to risk the disapproval of the world and drug you. Escape is very different from others.”

"I know that you can't escape the quagmire of Changxing Hou Mansion on your own, so I can't help but want to rescue you."

Xu Rongrong frowned. Mu Rong's words seemed to be similar to the storybook she had read in her previous life. It felt like "this girl, your differences have attracted the attention of the niche".

Mu Rong continued: "After being granted marriage by His Majesty, you have an extra responsibility for me. Naturally, I have to protect you. When I heard that the mistress of the Xu family insulted you, I wanted to vent my anger on you. I know that Shaohua'an If something goes wrong, I can't let you be in danger alone."

"But what does this have to do with your repeated... frivolous behavior?" Xu Rongrong asked him.

"You can't help yourself." Mu Rong said with a cheeky smile.

Xu Rongrong: "..." He's a liar!

But what he said before seemed to make her feel relieved.

Mu Rong didn't want Xu Rongrong to get too entangled here, so he brought the topic back to the Qiu Hunting. After explaining the departure time of the Qiu Hunting and the accompanying arrangements, he added: "In two days, I will order someone to send two Come here in riding gear."

Xu Rongrong was still immersed in her previous thoughts. After hearing what he said, she refused: "I don't need to worry about it."

"If you want to make something custom-made, you can go to Zouji Cloth Store and Yangji Cloth Store. Officials and their families go there to order riding clothes. Especially Zouji Cloth Store, which is exclusively for palace family members, handmade and The quality and appearance are all top-notch.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shu came back with a tea set.

Xu Rongrong stayed for a while to drink two cups of tea, then found a way to see off the guests.

Not only did she get no results from the test, but she became even more irritated by his words of "I can't help myself."

That night, she slept restlessly.

In the dream, first she saw Mu Rong's cold and distant face, wearing a red robe and scolding her "You can't come to the front yard to find him if you have nothing to do." The next moment, you saw him being carried into the room covered in blood, and Lin Jiaoyue threw herself on him and shouted, " Brother Rong, you are so stupid!"

Xu Rongrong woke up from her dream, with sweat on her forehead and neck.

She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Mu Rong was injured by an arrow during autumn hunting and was in a coma for three days.At that time, she was still a daughter-in-law of the Xu family and had no intention of hunting with her. Therefore, she tried her best to find out from others that Mu Rong was shot by a stray arrow while trying to save Lin Jiaoyue, the princess of Qingyang County. seriously injured.

At that time, she was so flustered that she cried every night.

Today, because of the Qiu hunting incident, her memory of that time was awakened again.

There was a dull pain in her forehead, Xu Rongrong took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down.

She suddenly had an idea: If Mu Rong was reborn like her, he would definitely avoid serious injuries in Qiu Lie. This Qiu Lie was a good opportunity for her to test him.

But, if he wasn't reborn, wouldn't it be...

Forget it, after all, it was just an injury, not life-threatening.Xu Rongrong comforted herself like this.

After thinking about it all night, Xu Rongrong barely slept.

The next morning, after taking care of the affairs of the house, she took Luo Shu out by car.

As Mu Rong expected, she did not have riding clothes.

"I remember that the Marquis said yesterday that Zouji Clothing Store and Yangji Clothing Store are both shops that tailor riding clothes, but Zouji specializes in the palace family members, let's go there directly?" Luo Shu said.

"Go to Yang Ji." Xu Rongrong said firmly.

She thought about his words carefully, and always felt that with his temperament, he would not be so verbose about such a trivial matter.

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and his suggestions seemed to be specially intended to lead her to Zou Ji.

Then she didn't do what he wanted.

Yangji Cloth Shop is the second largest cloth shop in Beijing.

It is divided into two courtyards: the front courtyard is a tailor shop, and the backyard is specially used for custom tailoring. It is divided into upper and lower floors, with multiple compartments on each floor.

Downstairs are regular clothes, and upstairs are riding clothes.

After Xu Rongrong explained her purpose, the store owner called someone over to take Luo Shu to pick flowers, and then personally led Xu Rongrong to the upstairs room.

The door opened, and Mu Rong was sitting inside drinking tea calmly and calmly.

Xu Rongrong: "..."

The store owner looked apologetic: "Because Qiu Lie arrived suddenly, there were many officials and family members coming to tailor clothes in the past two days. There is really no separate room. Why don't Miss Xu share one with Mr. Hou?"

Tailoring only requires measuring and no need to take off the clothes. In addition, the relationship between the two of them is well known in the capital. Although the store's arrangement is a bit inappropriate, it is not a big deal.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he added: "Miss Xu, please sit down for a while. I'll go down and arrange for someone to make tea for you."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

After the people left, Mu Rong stood up to greet her: "Miss Xu, please sit down. There are so many people today that I may have to wait for a while."

"Mr. Hou, are you sure that I will come to Yangji?" No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are waiting for something to happen.

Mu Rong smiled and denied: "The eldest lady is worrying too much. I don't like the color of the old riding clothes. Because I am familiar with Yang Ji's family, I came to order some new ones. But Miss Xu, I remember recommending it to the eldest lady yesterday. Zou Ji?”

Xu Rongrong: "..."

The shopkeeper came back soon, served tea, and opened the clothing book.

Xu Rongrong had no objection and chose two light and simple ones.

After choosing a style, wait for the store to take your measurements.

As soon as the store owner unrolled the tape measure, someone called her downstairs, so she had to apologize, put down the tape measure, and hurried away.

It's been a long time since I left.

"I'll take the measurements for the eldest lady, okay?" Mu Rong heard.

Xu Rongrong was slightly startled: "Master Hou actually knows this?"

Mu Rong said with a smile: "People who serve in the army do not stick to trivial details. Sometimes I will help the lieutenants and officers to measure the ruler when making military uniforms."

After he finished speaking, he skillfully pulled up the measuring tape and clicked it: "Miss, do you dare to try it?"

"Why don't you dare?" Xu Rongrong had a headache and was irritated. If it couldn't end as soon as possible, she didn't know how long she would have to sit across from him in this wing.

It's just a measuring stick. She has seen the cloth shop's clerk draw the ruler and count quickly and steadily.

It's just that she forgot that Mu Rong was not a real cloth shop clerk.

When I measured the left and right sleeves and shoulders, they were normal.

But when he reached the waist, Mu Rong came closer unexpectedly, causing Xu Rongrong to retreat subconsciously.

Dodging and pulling, Mu Rong's hands were wrapped around her waist, seemingly holding her in his arms. The two of them were very close and his breath was spraying on her neck, making her extremely hot.

"Don't hide." His voice was hoarse.

Xu Rongrong pushed him away, her cheeks burning: "I don't want to bother Mr. Hou anymore, let's wait for the store to send someone."
