Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Chapter 195 Bamboo Rattan Chair

"Three matchmakers?" Xiao Han was initially surprised upon hearing this, then asked calmly, "Did they explicitly state that they were there to arrange a marriage for Chu Qing?"

The guard nodded: "Your Highness, it is absolutely true! According to the three matchmakers, they were entrusted by three different wealthy families to come and propose marriage to Miss Long on behalf of their young masters."

After hearing the guard's account, Qing Tong quickly rebuked him, "Does such a trivial matter need to be reported to the Prince? Just send those matchmakers away."

The guard quickly explained, "Lord Qing Tong, we did try to forcibly drive them away, but those three matchmakers are very difficult to deal with. We are worried that if we use force to drive them away, we might anger them."

"At that time, they will probably spread rumors that are detrimental to the Prince's Mansion. Moreover, they insist on seeing Miss Long."

After hearing the guard's reply, Xiao Han subconsciously looked at Long Chuqing beside him.

At this moment, he noticed a clear look of embarrassment on Long Chuqing's face, and he guessed in his heart: it seems that Chuqing knows about this.

Thinking of this, Xiao Han lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then he turned around and instructed, "Qing Tong, Qing Yang, go to the gate of the mansion and handle this matter properly. Steward Zhong, you and the rest of you may leave for now."

"Yes..." The people in the courtyard responded in unison. After bowing to Xiao Han, they left Qiushui Pavilion in an orderly manner.

After everyone had left, only Xiao Han and Long Chuqing remained in the courtyard.

Xiao Han fixed his gaze on Long Chuqing before him and asked softly, "Chuqing, judging from your expression, you know about this, right? Can you tell me what happened?"

At this moment, Long Chuqing felt slightly guilty. She glanced at Xiao Han with evasive eyes, then lowered her eyes and silently organized the words she wanted to say.

After a moment, she parted her lips slightly and recounted to Xiao Han the conversation she had with the ladies at the wedding banquet the day before.

After saying that, Long Chuqing raised his right hand and said solemnly, "I swear, I really don't know the exact address of the Prince's Mansion. I only know the location when I come and go."

"The address I gave them was just something I made up on the spot. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I never thought they would actually send someone to propose marriage. I just thought it was too boring to sit there, so I started making up random things with them."

At this moment, Fei Feng couldn't help but expose him: "Huh... he actually swore an oath, because you know that even if you swear an oath, you won't get struck by lightning!"

Feng Yu chimed in, "Whether or not it's actually done is another matter. The atmosphere has to be just right. But speaking of which, I didn't expect to guess the right address by just randomly picking one. Should I say you were just lucky?"

Hearing their teasing, Long Chuqing sighed inwardly and said irritably, "Stop making sarcastic remarks."

Fei Feng scolded playfully, "Hmph... Who told you to chat nonsense for no reason?"

Xiao Han reached out and gently pulled her raised hand down, saying softly, "This is a small matter, no need to swear an oath. Now you should know the exact address of the Prince's Mansion, right? Don't go to the wrong place in the future!"

"Aren't you angry?" Long Chuqing said apologetically, "I've caused you trouble twice today."

Xiao Han's lips curled into a gentle smile. "How could that be? I told you it was just a small matter!"

Xiao Han gazed at Long Chuqing with gentle eyes, thinking to himself: Chuqing is so outstanding and beautiful, there must be quite a few people who have their eyes on her.

At this moment, Long Chuqing raised her head and gently advised, "You're still injured, why don't you go back and rest!"

"Hmm, are you trying to get rid of me?"

Upon hearing this, Long Chuqing waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, this is your territory, how could I dare to drive you away!"

Seeing her helpless explanation, Xiao Han couldn't help but laugh, and then he gently shook his head.

"Going back would just mean spending time alone in the study reading books; I can't just lie there all the time!"

“But given your current condition, you really should lie down and rest properly.” After thinking for a moment, Long Chuqing continued, “However, it’s not good to sit in the study all the time. You can also lie in the yard and bask in the sun, which will be beneficial for your recovery.”

Upon hearing Long Chuqing's words, Xiao Han subconsciously glanced at the side of the courtyard, his gaze landing on the bamboo rattan chair placed against the wall.

Long Chuqing, who was standing to the side, noticed his gaze and looked in the same direction. When she saw Xiao Han looking at the bamboo rattan chair, she chuckled and said, "Do you want to lie down on the bamboo chair and rest?"

Xiao Han turned his gaze back to Long Chuqing, who was smiling and had curious eyes as she waited for his reply.

"I'd like to try it. It should be very comfortable and pleasant to lie on it."

"Of course! Before the weather got this cold, I loved to lie in my chair and relax."

Long Chuqing thought for a moment and said, "If you want to lie down, I'll go and move the chair out for you." After saying that, Long Chuqing walked towards the wall.

Seeing this, Xiao Han quickly stepped forward to catch up: "Chu Qing, let me carry it myself!"

Long Chuqing spoke up to stop him: "Just stand there and don't move. You still have wounds that haven't healed yet, so you shouldn't exert yourself. If you accidentally cause the wounds to reopen, I'll have to deal with it in the end."

Upon hearing Long Chuqing's words, Xiao Han frowned slightly and retorted, "It's just a minor flesh wound. How could I be so fragile!"

Long Chuqing couldn't refuse him, nor could she go against his wishes, so in the end, the two of them carried the chair out into the sunlight together.

Long Chuqing clapped his hands, turned his gaze to Xiao Han, and said with a smile, "Alright, please take a seat, oh, no, please lie down."

Xiao Han couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Okay."

He lifted the hem of his robe and sat down on the bamboo rattan chair, then gracefully lay down.

After quietly observing for a while, he said, "This chair is indeed comfortable to lie on, but the sunlight is shining directly down at this time of day, which is quite dazzling."

Upon hearing this, Long Chuqing smiled slightly and said softly, "Please wait a moment."

She bent down, squatted under the bamboo rattan chair, and reached down to feel around underneath.

She quickly pulled up a bamboo pole, then picked up an oil-paper umbrella, and carefully inserted the umbrella into the gap in the bamboo pole, adjusting the angle slightly until the open umbrella could completely block the sunlight from Xiao Han's face.

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Han's eyes flashed with surprise: "Chu Qing, did you make this yourself?"

Long Chuqing's lips curled up slightly: "That's right! How about it, isn't it very practical!"

Xiao Han nodded slightly: "Yes, you really know how to enjoy life."
