"Get up quickly and take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Peiyun was actually very nervous, but these were all she had to go through before becoming his Crown Princess.

And with him around, she wasn't alone.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother only asked about some trivial matters, such as what I like to do at home, what I like to eat, etc.

If the royal family wants to know something, there is no need to ask in person. They have already investigated it secretly.

"When I first saw you, you were still a babbling girl, but now you have grown into a beautiful lady. Time is so unforgiving."

Seeing that her children all had found their homes, the queen couldn't help but sigh at the passage of time.

Mu Peiyun's visit to the palace to see the queen went smoothly. Not long after, the queen's personal nanny came in with a box.

"I don't know what to give you. I think your mother has raised you very well. This is a pair of soft gold and pearl bracelets given by the Empress Dowager when I married the Emperor.

I give it to you as a birthday gift. I wish you and the prince a happy marriage in the future."

"My daughter thanks the Queen for the reward."

Mu Peiyun didn't expect that the Queen would be the first person to mention her birthday, and she felt inexplicably touched.

At noon, he kept her in Fengyi Palace for lunch before Mu Yunchen sent her back to the general's mansion.

Along the way, the two looked at each other in silence, but neither of them knew that the other was inexplicably nervous.

The marriage was thus arranged, and the number of visitors to the Prime Minister's residence increased. Of course, everyone understood the situation tacitly.

Now that Mu Peiyun is the future Crown Princess, the Prime Minister's Mansion naturally belongs to the Crown Prince's camp. There are only two types of people who visit the Prime Minister's Mansion.

One type is those who are bent on supporting the crown prince, and the other type comes to the prime minister's residence to gather information.

In fact, the one who was most angry about this matter was Mu Yunyu. His good plan was now completely defeated, and he could only find another way.

But at this time, Mu Peiyao still sent him messages from time to time, urging him and asking when he would welcome her home.

With his great cause undecided, he had no time to ask the Queen for help. For now, he could only look around the capital to see which young lady from an aristocratic family, unmarried, could oppose the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The days passed like this, day and night, and the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory had already begun preparing for the grand ceremony for Mu Yunchen and Mu Peiyun.

With less than half a year left, preparations were naturally a bit hasty. After all, it was a crown prince marrying a crown princess, so how could they be careless? The Minister of Rites and the Chief Envoy of the Imperial Observatory had already been busy and exhausted.

The chirping of cicadas in the trees gradually became less and less. One day, when Mu Peiyun was practicing calligraphy, he happened to recall the travel notes he had brought back home from the Regent's Palace when he was young.

Suddenly I became interested and shouted towards the door twice, but no one answered.

When I was about to go downstairs to the warehouse to look for the travelogue, as soon as I went out, I saw Sujiu and Suniang with their butts raised, looking downstairs to find out something.

Qingyu Pavilion was designed and built by Mu Jin specifically for Mu Peiyun. Her bedroom and study were both on the second floor of the attic, and a storeroom was reserved on the first floor for her to store things.

However, Mu Peiyun did not have that many things. She preferred to collect books, calligraphy and paintings, and the warehouse downstairs was just right for her to turn into a library.

Mu Peiyun walked over quietly and patted the two maids' buttocks.

Su Niang was so scared that she turned around and almost screamed, but fortunately Su Jiu quickly covered her mouth and made a gesture to Mu Peiyun to keep quiet.

Mu Peiyun realized that something seemed wrong, so he became serious and squatted there, looking in the direction Sujiu pointed.

I saw a maid sneaking out of her library. After looking around and seeing no one was around, she closed the door and sneaked out of Qingyu Pavilion.

"Is this maid from our house?" Mu Peiyun stood up and asked as he walked downstairs after seeing the person leave.

"Miss, that's Caizhi from Mujing Pavilion, and she's also the second young lady's personal maid." Sujiu followed behind her with a righteous look on her face, muttering to herself.

When they arrived in front of the library, Mu Peiyun was about to reach out to touch the lock, but before he could do so, the lock fell off by itself.

"When did the lock of this library break?"

Su Niang: "My dear, it has been broken for a few days. I hired a locksmith, but he has not come to fix it yet."

Sujiu: "Yes, Miss, Suniang and I are worried that the library is not locked, and we are afraid that someone will take away your treasures.

It was just this person who was watching the door of the library, and I didn't expect that we would actually squat there just now."

After listening to this, Mu Peiyun chuckled with some disdain, saying that the lock broke at a very timely moment.

The key to the library has always been kept by her personally, and she would only give it to the two maids when she needed something inside. Now someone was impatient to do something and had already started to pick the lock.

"Vegetarian brew."

"Miss, the servant is here."

"Go and guard the gate of Qingyu Pavilion. Don't let those sneaky people see what's going on inside."

"Yes, miss." After receiving the order, Su Niang straightened her back and walked towards the door. She also picked up a broom and stood at the door with her hands on her hips, as if not even a fly could get in.

"Sujiu, come with me in to find out what that girl is doing." As he said that, Mu Peiyun gently pushed open the door and walked in.

"Yes, ma'am."

Mu Peiyun hadn't been here for a long time. The secretary could no longer remember the furnishings inside, and many places were covered in dust.

It’s a little troublesome to find, but God will always be with you if you work hard.

As luck would have it, Mu Peiyun found it just in time, and there was not a speck of dust on that place, obviously it had just been put in.

Before I could draw it out, I heard Su Niang's voice outside the door: "Are you new in our yard? No one taught you that you can't put potted plants there? It's so close to the house, what if it attracts snakes, insects, rats and ants? Take it away quickly."

Then another soft voice sounded: "Yes, thank you sister Su Niang for your guidance. I am indeed new here and don't know many rules."

"Go down quickly. This won't happen again." Su Niang just thought she was a new girl in the greenhouse and didn't think too much about it. She continued to be the door god.

But Mu Peiyun clearly heard the footsteps suddenly disappear at the back of the library, so he became alert and winked at Su Jiu.

"Sujiu, please help me find my travel journal. Where did I put it?"

"Found it, Miss. There are two volumes in total, and they are all here." Su Jiu hurried to the numbered place, took out the two books and waved to Mu Peiyun.

Mu Peiyun took out the stack of papers and put it into his sleeve, then took the book from Sujiu's hand and walked out of the house with it in a swagger.

Sure enough, as soon as I went out, I saw a stranger fiddling with flowers and plants next to me.

That's great, Mu Peiyao, the spies have been planted in Qingyu Pavilion, so they have some means.

Su Niang heard the voice, turned around and saw the maid again, who came over angrily: "You little girl, didn't I tell you to go down, why are you back again?"
