Chapter 975: Looking at Each Other
Since Little Jiajia was unwilling to leave, it was useless for Song Jingchen to say anything. Moreover, he was helpless against her bold and straightforward words. In the end, he could only let her go.
When Little Jiajia said that she wouldn’t disturb them, she really didn’t make a sound. She obediently moved a stool and sat opposite the desk. She supported her chin with both hands and stared straight at the young man opposite her. It was unknown what she was thinking, but she would cover her mouth and stifle a laugh from time to time.
At first, Song Jingchen would ask curiously, “What are you laughing at?”
The little girl pretended to be shy, but her eyes were still on his face. She said boldly, “With how good-looking my husband is, our children will definitely be good-looking in the future.”
“What children?” Song Jingchen was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the ground. He was mature and was often teased by his grandfather about his tendency to act like an old man, but this little girl always made him lose his composure.
She called him her husband the first time they met, and he couldn’t correct her no matter what. Now that she even thought of having children, should she consider how many children she should give birth to and what name she should give them?
No, what was he thinking? He was still a child!
Song Jingchen blushed again. He didn’t say anything and pretended that the person opposite him didn’t exist.
However, how could he ignore such a pair of eyes? He held the book for a long time and did not read a word.
It wasn’t until MO Yuan came over and called her away that Song Jingchen heaved a sigh of relief.
The servant guarding the door was shocked to see another person in the study.
“Princess, the emperor of Great Xia has agreed. He even rewarded you with many scholarly treasures.”
Emperor Chong’an was worried about how to let his son spend more time with Little Jiajia without appearing too deliberate. When he heard that Little Jiajia wanted to go to the palace to study, he naturally agreed, so MO Yuan’s trip was especially smooth.
“Got it.” Little Jiajia was not surprised. Although she had only met him once, she could tell that as long as the emperor of Great Xia’s status was not involved, he would probably let her get away with murder.
It was really a tragedy for Great Xia to have such an emperor.
The master and servant walked all the way to the guest courtyard. When they passed by the main courtyard, they saw people carrying something in and out from afar.
There were few masters in the Duke’s Residence, and the residence was usually quiet. After living here for so many days, this was the first time she had seen such a lively scene.
Little Jiajia could not help but be curious. “What are they doing?”
MO Yuan took a look and retracted her gaze. “Didn’t the Duchess say a few days ago that she wanted to hold a banquet? I think it’s tomorrow.”
Little Jiajia remembered. At that time, she was playing with Sister Huan and Brother Hao in Madam Li’s courtyard. Madam Li mentioned it and even asked if she was going to attend.
Putting aside the fact that she didn’t like that kind of scene, she was a foreign princess. If she really appeared, she would overshadow the host no matter what, so she naturally refused.
She did not take it to heart. Coupled with the fact that she had been going out every day for the past few days, she had forgotten about it.
For some reason, she did not think much of it at the time. Now that she thought about it, she felt that Madam Li secretly heaved a sigh of relief after she said that she would not be attending.
Relief? Why? Afraid that she would cause trouble?
How could that be? In order to leave a good impression on her future mother-in-law and grandfather, she was very obedient in front of them.
Little Jiajia couldn’t figure it out, so she looked at MO Yuan and caught the hesitation on her face. She narrowed her eyes. “MO Yuan, do you know something?”
MO Yuan opened her mouth. Coincidentally, a maidservant outside the door reported that the main kitchen had sent over dinner. She changed the topic and said, “Princess, let’s eat dinner first. The weather is getting colder. If you don’t eat, it’ll get cold.”
Little Jiajia was even more curious, but after spending half the afternoon in her little husband’s study, she had only drunk a few cups of tea and did not see a single snack. She could not take it anymore and could only suppress her curiosity.
After dinner, the servants sent hot water. These were all instructed by MO Yuan on the first day they moved in. They followed Little Jiajia’s previous schedule.
The hot water was steaming, making the house foggy.
MO Yuan moved a small table to the side and helped Little Jiajia wash her hair. She found it funny when she saw her chin resting on the water and only revealing her head.
Only at this moment could she see a hint of shyness on this fearless princess’s face.
She was brought into Lord Jing’an’s residence by His Highness when she was five years old. She had always been by the princess’s side and had watched her learn how to speak from the beginning to the end. The two of them could be said to have grown up together.
She had seen what the princess looked like. However, after the princess could remember, she stopped letting others help her take a shower.
She even said that her body could only be shown to her future husband.
She remembered that she had amused the princess consort and a room full of maidservants at that time. However, even the princess consort could not do anything about the princess’s insistence, so she could only let her be.
After so many years, the princess had not changed at all.
“Sister MO Yuan, tell me quickly. Is there anything else to say about tomorrow’s banquet?” Little Jiajia tilted her head and accidentally buried her lips in the water, blowing out a string of bubbles as she spoke.
MO Yuan was almost amused. She thought of something and couldn’t laugh anymore. After thinking for a while, she said, “A few days ago, the princess asked me to send something to the young master and young mistress of the residence. I accidentally heard the servants in the main courtyard discussing that the Duchess held this banquet to find someone suitable for Heir Song.”
Little Jiajia stood up from the bathtub in shock.. “What did you say?”
