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

Chapter 136 Heading to Xuanque Street

Xiao Han walked towards her, and when he came to her side, the two of them stopped in their tracks at the same time.

He looked her over carefully and noticed that she was different today; she had dressed up specially.

Xiao Han also noticed that the hairpin she was wearing today was the one he had given her before.

A surge of joy welled up in his heart, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly as he softly asked, "Chu Qing, where are you all headed?"

"I heard there are some lively performances on Xuanque Street today. Ziguang and I were planning to go check it out. We've been staying at the manor lately, so this is a good opportunity to join in the fun."

She thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you want to come along?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han regained his composure, lowered his eyes, and remained silent for a moment, looking thoughtful.

Seeing this, Long Chuqing inwardly cried out that something was wrong, so he quickly said, "Well, you're busy, so we won't bother you any longer. We'll take our leave now."

Before she finished speaking, she grabbed Ziguang and tried to walk past Xiao Han and continue walking out.

Just as she was passing by Xiao Han, he grabbed her arm.

“Who said I’m not going?” Xiao Han said slowly, then turned to look at Long Chuqing: “You two wait in the front living room for a moment. I’ll go back and change into my court robes first.” After saying that, he strode towards Qinli Courtyard, not giving Long Chuqing a chance to speak.

Long Chuqing stared blankly at Xiao Han's departing figure, muttering to herself, "I just asked casually and politely invited him, who knew this guy would actually go! How boring it would be to go shopping with him!"

She turned to look at Ziguang beside her and smiled slightly awkwardly: "Um, your prince is going too, do you mind? If you mind, then I'll go and send him away."

Zi Guang looked at her with a smile: "I don't mind at all. It seems that you haven't gone out with the prince before!"

Long Chuqing could only manage a dry laugh before heading to the front living room to wait for Xiao Han. Servants served them snacks and tea.

Xiao Han changed into an indigo-blue cloud-patterned brocade robe and a matching outer cloak, which, combined with his handsome face, made him appear even more noble.

He changed his clothes and came to the living room shortly after. When he saw Long Chuqing, he smiled gently and said, "Let's go."

Long Chuqing nodded slightly, stood up, and walked with him toward the main gate.

At this moment, two carriages were parked outside the mansion gate. One was the one Xiao Han had ridden in when he returned, and the other was the one Uncle Zhong had prepared for Long Chuqing.

Xiao Han stopped and looked at Long Chuqing beside him to see which carriage she would choose to ride in.

Seeing this, Zi Guang thought for a moment and then said, "Miss, I'll go sit in the carriage in the back. You can sit with the Prince! The carriage in the front is spacious and comfortable, so you'll be more comfortable sitting there."

After saying that, she turned around and hurriedly walked towards the carriage behind her.

Long Chuqing watched Zi Guang quickly step onto the carriage and couldn't help but think to himself, "When did this little girl become so clever?"

She turned back and smiled at Xiao Han, "It doesn't matter which carriage I ride in." Then she turned around, lifted her skirt, and stepped into Xiao Han's carriage.

Xiao Han smiled slightly and followed suit, getting into the carriage.

Qingying followed along, and they sat outside driving the carriage.

On the way, Long Chuqing gently lifted the carriage curtain to look outside. At this time, there was still a lot of snow on both sides of the road, and there were many carriage tracks on the snow.

Other carriages and horsemen passed by on the road, as did pedestrians who wrapped their cotton-padded coats tightly around themselves and hurried past on foot through the snow.

A cold wind blew in, so she lowered the curtain and turned around to see Xiao Han sitting opposite her, staring at her.

"Why are you staring at me like that! Is there something on my face?" She reached up and touched her cheek, asking in confusion.

"I notice that your hairstyle and makeup are different today than usual."

Long Chuqing gently touched her hair again and asked in confusion, "Doesn't it look good? Ziguang spent quite a while combing it for me!"

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "It's a bit too ostentatious."

Long Chuqing disagreed, retorting, "What's so flashy about it? It's just ordinary makeup and hair."

Xiao Han did not respond to her words. Instead, he slowly stood up and sat down next to her.

Then, he picked up a handkerchief, gently turned her face, and carefully wiped away the thick lipstick from her lips.

While carefully wiping it, Xiao Han explained softly, "This bright red color is too intense and doesn't suit you."

After he finished wiping her face, he held it up and examined it carefully, a satisfied smile appearing on his face: "Hmm, it looks much better this way. It really does look better this way."

Long Chuqing was born with rosy lips and white teeth, and even without any lip rouge, her lips were still rosy and beautiful.

Long Chuqing looked completely bewildered, her expression one of disbelief. She subconsciously touched her lips, then frowned and looked at Xiao Han with suspicion.

"Are you out of your mind today? You're acting so strangely. How am I supposed to get out of here looking like this?!"

Long Chuqing complained angrily, her face full of dissatisfaction: "If they see us like this, they'll think we're messing around in there!"

Upon hearing Long Chuqing's words, Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then seemed to be deep in thought, before quickly regaining his composure.

Then a slightly mocking smile appeared on his lips. "Oh... how exactly do you mean 'messing around'? In your opinion, what you mean by 'messing around' is probably something like this..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Han reached out and cupped her cheek again, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Caught off guard by his unexpected action, Long Chuqing stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

After realizing what was happening, she hurriedly reached out to push him away, but Xiao Han firmly grabbed her wrist.

Xiao Han gave her a light kiss and then released her.

Long Chuqing frowned slightly, wiped her lips, looked at Xiao Han's smug smile, pointed at him angrily and said, "You...you took advantage of me."

After saying that, he immediately made a move and threw a punch at Xiao Han.

Seeing the situation, Xiao Han had no choice but to respond, and so the two began to wrestle in the narrow carriage.

The carriage suddenly began to shake violently, making creaking and groaning sounds from time to time.

The bronze and green shadows driving the carriage outside were startled by the sudden turn of events. The horse was also quite frightened, and the bronze almost lost control.

After finally calming the horses down, they exchanged a glance.

Qingying looked completely bewildered and asked, "What's going on inside? It's so intense, are the Prince and Miss Long fighting in there?"

After a moment's thought, Qing Tong said, "Well, this is pretty much it. Alright, let's not guess and just focus on driving our carriage!"

Before long, they stopped. If they continued fighting like that, the carriage would probably fall apart.
