With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly

Mu Dong opened the door of the private room and gestured for Yuan Qianqian to go in.

She stood at the door, took a deep breath, straightened herself, and walked in gracefully.

The man sitting on the chair beside the window turned his head. He was dressed in spotless white clothes, with his hair tied up with a jade crown, looking like a god.

He stood up and walked over slowly, clasping his hands and bowing, "Ning'an from the Ruan family greets the Fourth Princess."

Yuan Qianqian was shocked by his respectful attitude.

In the Yuan Dynasty, except for Xi Qiu, no one treated her as a princess. Even the maids and eunuchs treated her with condescension.

She was flattered.

She quickly said softly, "Mr. Ruan, there is no need to be so polite."

Ruan Ning'an straightened up, his expression as gentle as usual.

"The seats at Yuelai Inn are all full now. If Princess doesn't mind, you can rest and eat here."

Yuan Qianqian was delighted in her heart, but did not show it on her face.

"Of course I don't mind. Qianqian would like to thank Master Ruan here."

Ruan Ningan smiled slightly, "Princess, please take a seat."

His smile was somewhat seductive. Yuan Qianqian's cheeks instantly felt hot. Afraid of being discovered by Ruan Ning'an, she quickly turned around and walked over to sit down.

Whenever she saw Ruan Ning'an, she became extremely nervous.

Ruan Ning'an followed her and sat down, picking up the teapot on the table and pouring her a cup.

"Thank you, Mr. Ruan."

"You don't have to be so polite, Princess."

Compared to Ruan Ning'an who was calm and composed, Yuan Qianqian's heart beat faster and faster due to nervousness, and she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

When Xi Qiu saw that the person inside was Ruan Ning'an, his worry disappeared instantly.

This elegant young man is the son of an important official in the court. They have met each other several times and he should not harm the princess.

only……

Xi Qiu looked at the closed door of the private room, looking thoughtful.

Why did she feel like something had happened between this young man and the princess? It seemed very familiar.

It's impossible to be so familiar with each other just by meeting each other.

After Nan Yan took over Yuelai Inn, he also had someone prepare a menu.

Ruan Ningan put the menu in front of Yuan Qianqian and said, "I ordered three dishes. Take a look at the ones you like and add a few more."

Yuan Qianqian had lived a hard life and had always been frugal. When she heard that Ruan Ningan had already ordered three dishes, she shook her head.

"No, three dishes are enough."

The portions at Yuelai Inn are quite large, and are more than enough for the two of them.

Hearing her say this, Ruan Ning'an's eyes flashed with surprise.

It was the first time he met such a frugal princess, and he had a better impression of Yuan Qianqian.

"The princess may not like what I ordered, so you better take a look at it!"

Under his strong request, Yuan Qianqian had no choice but to order two more dishes of her favorites.

She liked this considerate and gentle man even more.

Yuan Qianqian felt that she was not good at speaking at first, and then she became nervous when she saw him, thinking that the situation between them would definitely be very awkward.

But she was obviously overthinking it.

Ruan Ning'an is knowledgeable, has been to many places, and his warm voice will never let the scene become dull.

From his words, she found that he was more free and easy than she had imagined. She slowly relaxed and occasionally agreed with him.

After dinner, the two of them had become completely familiar with each other, and she would take the initiative to chat about some topics.

As they chatted, they found that they had similar views on life. They all liked a simple life and liked to travel around and experience different customs and cultures.

Yuan Qianqian has been trapped in the palace and yearns for her ideal life.

Seeing the regretful expression on her face, Ruan Ning'an told her everything he saw and heard during his travels.

Two hours passed quickly.

Until Mu Dong outside reminded, "Sir, we should go back."

Ruan Ning'an looked outside at the sky and found that it was already late.

Today's time passed so quickly.

What surprised him even more was that he could chat with a woman for such a long time, and now he still felt a little unsatisfied.

However, he told my mother this morning that he would go back for dinner, so he could only say goodbye.

Yuan Qianqian stood up and prepared to see him off, "Mr. Ruan, take care."

Ruan Ning'an stopped and looked at her with warm eyes, "Princess, please stay. If you want to have dinner here, just tell the shopkeeper to put it on my account."

"Ning An, goodbye."

After Ruan Ning'an left the private room, Yuan Qianqian hurried to the window and looked down. When she saw Ruan Ning'an walking out, she stared at him without blinking.

As if sensing something, the man walking on the street suddenly turned around and looked over.

Yuan Qianqian didn't expect Ruan Ning'an to suddenly turn his head. When their eyes met, her cheeks felt hot and she quickly looked away, even moving away.

Ruan Ning'an looked at the window where the figure had disappeared, and thought of the man's blushing face and his round eyes like a frightened rabbit, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Mu Dong looked curious, "Sir, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Ruan Ning'an turned around and fanned himself with the fan in his hand, chuckling and striding away.

Mu Dong looked at his young master's back and couldn't help scratching his head, muttering, "Young master is really weird today."

Not only did he invite a woman to have lunch with him for the first time, he also chatted with her for the entire afternoon, and now she was laughing for no apparent reason.

Without thinking too much, he hurried to chase Ruan Ning'an.

Yuan Qianqian leaned against the wall with one hand on her chest. Thinking of the way the man looked back just now, her heartbeat began to speed up again.

When she felt calmer, she hurried to the window and looked down. The figure was no longer on the street. She looked lost.

When Xi Qiu pushed the door open, he saw his princess standing in front of the window in a daze.

"Princess, what are you looking at?"

Yuan Qianqian came back to her senses and suppressed the emotions in her eyes, "It's almost time for dinner, and the streets are getting more and more lively."

Xi Qiu glanced down and nodded in agreement, "It is more lively than during the day."

"Princess, do you want to go back to the post house for dinner or have it here?"

"it's here."

Yuan Qianqian ordered three dishes and asked Xi Qiu to eat with her.

Xi Qiu originally wanted to ask about Yuan Qianqian and Ruan Ningan, but thinking of the guards at the door who had sharp eyes and ears, and if they heard anything, it would be bad for the princess's reputation, he refrained from asking.

The two of them went back after finishing their dinner.

As soon as they returned, they heard that Yuan Yingtang had come during the day, but left with a grim look on his face when he saw that she was not there.

After returning to the room, Xi Qiu made sure that no one was outside the door and said with relief, "Fortunately, we went out today."

After she finished speaking, the expression on her face suddenly changed to gossip, "Princess, did you and Master Ruan know each other before?"

Looking at the curious little girl, Yuan Qianqian told her how Ruan Ningan helped her find the purse.
