Chu Xuanchi sorted out the timeline in his mind, "No, but she took the initiative to ask for the marriage."

He remembered very clearly the first time Mo Zhaohua came to see him. After a quick review, he found that it was the day after the sign was put up.

If he really had any favor to do for her, it was only asking for her marriage. She must have made the decision before going to Baohua Temple.

Wuying didn't think so much, but was completely relieved, "So the lady is sincere to His Highness and is trustworthy."

Chu Xuanchi said firmly: "It is my fault for repeatedly testing Zhao Zhao. From today on, I will never do that again."

Wuying was worried about him again, "Then Yueying must keep the previous test a secret, so as not to hurt the young lady's feelings."

Chu Xuanchi had thought about this just now, but hadn't made up his mind yet. "I will consider this matter carefully."

Wuying hesitated for a moment, "Miss will stay in Baohua Temple for half a month, would you like to go up the mountain to take a look?"

"No, if I go out now, it will make too much noise. If people see my true feelings, it will be bad for Zhao Zhao."

His sincerity can be seen by Mo Zhaohua and known by Wuying, but it must never be discovered by his enemies.

Wuying nodded solemnly, "I understand. We should protect the princess and not let her fall into danger."

The word "Princess" made Chu Xuanchi curl up his lips, "You changed your words so quickly."

Wuying, who usually had no expression, also laughed at this moment, "I actually wanted to change my words a long time ago."

Chu Xuanchi reminded him, "Just keep this to yourself, and don't let others know about it for now."

Wuying's expression suddenly turned serious, "Yes, Master."

***

Mo Zhaohua had two things to do when he came to Baohua Temple this time.

One is to carve Chu Xuanchi's birth date on the longevity plaque, and the other is to concentrate on practicing the "Su Nu Heart Sutra".

The Heart Sutra has nine levels of practice, which can only be practiced step by step and cannot be skipped. She is currently practicing the first level.

The last time she went to see the Duke of Fuguo, he told her that once there were signs of a breakthrough, it would be best to go into seclusion.

At that time, he also said that with her talent and progress in cultivation, she would be able to make a breakthrough within three months, and asked her to pay attention then.

However, her own requirements were higher. The Prince of Fuguo's Mansion said it could be done within three months, so she wanted to compress it into one month.

Therefore, she took advantage of the chaos in the mansion, found an excuse to go out, and prepared to spend half a month to break through.

Baohua Temple is quiet and peaceful, without all the mess in the house, which is very suitable for her to retreat.

She used chanting and praying as an excuse and only allowed Amber and Yueying to come in and serve her during meals.

Therefore, during this half month, she had more time to practice her mental skills than in the several months she had been in the mansion.

Calculated this way, it is about the same three months as what the Duke of Fuguo said. The first level of the exercise is extremely simple.

Ten days passed by unknowingly. During this period, Zhenzhu would have someone deliver a letter every three days, all of which were about things happening in the mansion.

Just as Mo Zhaohua guessed, in addition to the time when Zhao came to cause trouble herself, several other branches of the Mo family also came to cause trouble.

Therefore, the Minister of Revenue's Mansion was even more lively these days than when Mo Zhaohua was at home. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a scene of chaos.

Mrs. Mo was very angry. In Pearl's recent letter, she had pretended to be sick and refused to see guests.

Mo Yaohua pretended to be dead and refused to go to Yishoutang. If anyone dared to make trouble in front of her, she would say she had a stomachache.

Even though the visitor knew that she was pretending, he only dared to expose her verbally but did not dare to do anything to her for fear of causing trouble.

Amber smiled and said, "Fortunately, the young lady brought us out, otherwise they would have come to the young lady to make trouble."

Mo Zhaohua was very proud. "This is called prosperity for all, and adversity for all. Naturally, I have to run away to find some peace and quiet."

Amber counted the days and said, "But we still have to go back in a few days."

Yueying didn't want to go back to face the chaos in the Shangshu Mansion, "How about we stay here for a few more days?"

Mo Zhaohua denied it without even thinking, "That won't work. The Qiqiao Festival is coming soon..."

Yueying has been practicing swordplay since she was a child, and has never celebrated this festival. "Is the Qiqiao Festival important?"

Amber winked at her and said, "Qi Qiao is not important, Qi Xi is important."

"Oh..." Yueying reacted instantly, "I understand, Miss is missing our prince."

Mo Zhaohua didn't shy away, "Why, he's my future husband, can't I think about him?"

Although she spoke so confidently, in fact, her face had already been flushed like two sunset clouds.

Yueying laughed so hard that her body shook. "Yes, yes, yes, our prince is so good, and he is worthy of Miss's remembrance."

Mo Zhaohua changed the subject, "Besides the Qiqiao Festival, there is another important matter, and I still have to go back."

Now Yueying talked more than Amber, "What is it?"

Mo Zhaohua's eyes quickly flashed with a trace of calculation, "Dowry."

***

That night, in the study of the Prince's Palace.

Chu Xuanchi looked at Yueying's letter and pursed his lips into a line.

Wuying joked, "I wonder what our princess has done to make the master so happy."

Chu Xuanchi stuffed the letter into the envelope and said, "Zhao Zhao misses me and is looking forward to spending Chinese Valentine's Day with me."

He didn't tell Wuying that he actually missed Mo Zhaohua too. In the blink of an eye, he hadn't seen him for more than half a month.

Wuying was a little confused, "Master, won't you show it to your subordinates?"

Chu Xuanchi put away all the envelopes and said, "What Yueying said is Zhao Zhao's private affairs. You don't need to read it."

Wuying pretended to be sad, "Hey... why do I suddenly feel like I've fallen out of favor?"

Chu Xuanchi was not fooled, "You said that it is Qixi Festival, what should I give to Zhao Zhao?"

Wuying stopped joking and asked seriously, "Are you sure you want to spend the holiday with the princess?"

Chu Xuanchi asked back, "Why not?"

Wuying reminded, "Aren't you afraid that others will see your true feelings?"

Chu Xuanchi didn't care, "It's nothing, I will use my father as a cover, I am just following your order."

Wuying laughed, "Master, your Majesty's banner will be torn to pieces by you sooner or later."

Chu Xuanchi sneered, "Didn't he stuff women into my hands just to make me obey?"

"In the end, I gave my master a treasure. I believe that the princess will be able to manage our Prince Yu's Mansion very well."

Wuying was the first person to recognize and trust Mo Zhaohua, even earlier than Yueying.

"Of course. You tell me whether it's better to stay in the mansion or take Zhao Zhao out for a walk like the others."

Chu Xuanchi felt guilty towards Mo Zhaohua because of the initial temptation and just wanted to make more compensation to alleviate his guilt.

Wuying knew what he was thinking, and didn't dare to give any advice casually, "I am a man, so I suggest that the master ask Yueying."

He was afraid that if he came up with a bad idea, he would ruin his master's good fortune, or even make the situation worse. That would be terrible.

Chu Xuanchi pinched his chin and thought, "You're right, we should ask Yueying and let her ask Zhaozhao indirectly."

He cared so much about this that if Wuying didn't know the reason, she would have suspected that he was in love with someone.
