In that instant, Li Qiubai only felt her heart blooming with joy.
Long drought met sweet rain like dry wood encountering fierce fire.
As their lips intertwined, the Princess was already wildly happy.
She tightly wrapped herself around Young Master Meng's neck, warmly responding.
Yet, before the Princess could relish the otherworldly feeling, the wardrobe emitted a "squeak" sound.
This unexpected event caught them off guard, but luckily Young Master Meng was quick to react. Seeing the cabinet doors about to swing open, she hastily reached out a hand and pulled them back.
Unexpectedly, even with just a slight tilt, the Princess followed suit and fell along with her, causing the wardrobe to lose balance and topple over directly towards the direction of the cabinet doors.
In no time, the wardrobe came crashing down.
All this happened because Young Master Meng was too eager earlier and didn't control her strength when pressing the Princess against the inner wall, leading to such an accident.
As the wardrobe collapsed, Young Master Meng couldn't help but feel regretful.
The commotion not only startled the two inside the wardrobe but also frightened the two on the bed.
Rong Xiaoyu quickly withdrew her hand from Ling Xixi's body, pulled up the thin blanket to cover both of their naked bodies, then took out the dagger placed by the pillow and tightly protected Ling Xixi in her arms.
Only then did she gaze towards the direction of the wardrobe, ready to act at any moment.
At this point, the wardrobe doors were tightly pressed against the ground, making it impossible for the two trapped inside to come out directly.
After causing such a stir, Young Master Meng could only break the already broken pot*.
*let problems go without solving them/act recklessly
After bare-handedly smashing the wooden boards above, Young Master Meng then peeled away the pile of clothes covering the two of them, pulling the Princess out through that hole.
If it weren't for recognizing the clothes on Young Master Meng, Rong Xiaoyu's dagger in her hand would have almost stabbed directly at her.
But even so, at the moment of seeing Young Master Meng, Rong Xiaoyu couldn't help but darken her face.
After all, anyone interrupted while having fun wouldn't have a pleasant expression.
"Why are you still here?!"
Meng Chang’an knew she was guilty, but she just glanced at the postures of the two people on the bed. Before Rong Xiaoyu could continue to speak, Young Master Meng had already turned her head away, licked her lips, and whispered a sentence: "Do not worry, we did not see anything..."
This statement is definitely ‘there are no three hundred taels of silver here'*.
*obvious lie
Ling Xixi's face wasn't any better than Rong Xiaoyu's, but upon seeing the Princess emerge from the wardrobe with Young Master Meng, even if Ling Xixi was furious, she dared not explode in front of her own master.
Looking at the slightly flushed face of the Princess, her moist lips, despite Ling Xixi's usual composure, knowing that her master had heard all the shouts just now, she couldn't help but change her expression. Ling Xixi felt ashamed to the point of being unable to face anyone. After calming down a bit, she finally reached out and pinched Rong Xiaoyu's ear, gritting her teeth as she asked, "Did you not say no one came with you?"
“Hiss..."
Both of them, without a stitch of clothing, were too embarrassed to crawl out from under the covers. Under Ling Xixi's pinch, Rong Xiaoyu dared not struggle, instead, she continued to cling to her, letting her vent her anger, pleading, "Xixi, I know I was wrong..."
At the words, Young Master Meng couldn't help but be stunned.
Hey, this is not what Rong Xiaoyu said when she said she would go through fire and water for the Young Master...
But with just a slight glance at Rong Xiaoyu, Young Master Meng didn't probe further, feeling too embarrassed to continue watching the two of them flirt like this.
Moreover, she knew that she and the Princess were utterly superfluous to those two at the moment. With this in mind, Meng Chang'an quickly took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and placed it on the broken wardrobe nearby, saying, "Sorry for the interruption, here is the money for your wardrobe. We will take our leave now!"
As they were about to leave, Meng Chang'an was startled to see the Princess silently walk to the table and bend down to smell the incense on it. Young Master Meng was taken aback. She hadn't forgotten Ling Xixi's earlier remark about this fragrance!
Hastily catching up and covering the Princess’ nose and mouth, she half-carried her out, while also telling the two people on the bed, "You two continue, do not mind us!"
Even until the sound of the door closing, Ling Xixi couldn't take her eyes off that silver ingot.
"How could she think of compensating with money at a time like this? Is this a matter of money? Is this about her smashing the wardrobe? And does it look like I am short of money?" Unlike Ling Xixi's resentful expression, Rong Xiaoyu quickly brushed off this little incident.
"Of course not!" Rong Xiaoyu leaned in again towards Ling Xixi's lips, stroking her waist, and whispered, "Let us forget about her and continue..."
"Who said we are continuing!" Ling Xixi, who had lost interest, coldly pushed away Rong Xiaoyu's head, "And look at the good things you have done!"
"How was I supposed to know they would be hiding in the wardrobe... You dare to blame me, without even considering who started it in the first place!"
"Rong Xiaoyu!"
"Also, it is not just about starting it, why did you specifically light this kind of incense..."
“You…”
"Stop fussing around, hurry up, hurry up, let us wait for them to leave so we can continue, we have not even gotten started yet..."

Regardless of whether the two inside the room would continue their dispute until dawn, Young Master Meng had no intention of probing further.
The quarrel between the two courtesans was now muffled by the closed door. Hastily escaping the ambiguous-filled room while holding onto the Princess, Young Master Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't until they descended the staircase where they had originally hidden that Young Master Meng stopped, releasing the Princess' nose and mouth before quickly cupping her face, asking with concern, "Are you alright? Are you feeling any discomfort after smelling that incense?"
While Young Master Meng couldn't discern the purpose of the incense and was misled by Ling Xixi's cryptic words, it didn't mean that the Princess didn't know what the incense was for. It was simply an incense used to enhance the mood during moments of intimacy, not something that would cause one to lose their senses.
The Princess’ lips curled slightly, but she didn't reveal anything. She simply wrapped her arms around Young Master Meng's neck and pressed her forehead against hers before softly responding, "Yes."
Before Young Master Meng could ask further, the Princess had already lightly brushed her lips against hers and whispered softly against her lips, "I did not get enough just now, and I am still feeling parched. It is like...I am about to burst into flames. It is suffocating."
Just moments ago, they were already left unsatisfied due to the wardrobe incident, and now she was being teased by the Princess. How could Young Master Meng resist any longer?
While Young Master Meng was still struggling with her own rationality, the faint sweetness had already seeped into the corners of her lips.
The Princess' awkward movements, lacking finesse, unexpectedly captivated Young Master Meng.
Well, let's just consider this as a way to alleviate the effects of the incense on the Princess.
With this thought in mind, Young Master Meng dared to let down her guard and responded to the Princess' gentle kiss with half-closed eyes.
The Princess’ lips were soft, and with just one taste, Young Master Meng couldn't resist anymore.
Forget about the Princess feeling parched, at this moment, being embraced and kissed so intently by the Princess, even Young Master Meng couldn't resist.
Unlike the impatience and impulsiveness that were influenced by the two courtesans just now, the movements of the two now were much gentler.
The stairwell was dimly lit, quiet, and undisturbed, making it the perfect place for a passionate kiss amid confusion and infatuation.
Meng Chang'an pressed the Princess against the wall, savoring her soft lips and tasting the sweetness within.
As two people experiencing this flavor for the first time, their actions were instinctive and familiar. They leaned against each other, exploring and clumsily trying to ease each other's inner fire with awkward kisses.
Unfortunately, there are always some people or events that interrupt the mood.
At that moment, they were between the second and third floors on the staircase, but before they could fully indulge, footsteps echoed from the second floor.
Meng Chang'an was startled for a moment, quickly stopping her actions, gently pulling away from the Princess’ lips, and softly shushing her before turning her attention to the activity downstairs.
Luckily, they weren't caught in the act as Meng Chang'an had feared. Before anyone could approach the staircase, the footsteps stopped to the side. Then came the sound of knocking on the door frame.
Before Meng Chang'an could catch her breath, the sound of a male voice after the door opened instantly made her heart sink.
"It is so late, what brings you here?"
As twins, even though she only saw her older brother a few times a year, Meng Chang'an would never forget the sound of her brother's voice.
After hearing the sound, Young Master Meng's first reaction was to look back at the Princess' expression. To her surprise, she remained calm and unaffected by the sound.
When their eyes met, the Princess only slightly curved her lips and then tightened her grip around Young Master Meng's neck, once again covering her lips with hers.
Unfortunately, this time, Young Master Meng's fiery passion had already been dampened by her own elder brother's voice, leaving her with no response as fervent as before.
Feeling the continued warmth from the beauty in her arms, Young Master Meng felt a complexity in her heart that was difficult to express, yet she couldn't summon the strength to push the Princess away.
Downstairs in the corridor was her elder brother, whom she had been eager to find, yet now, she found herself engaged in indecent behavior with her brother's supposed wife in this very corridor.
“How come you do not let me in to talk?” Without waiting for Young Master Meng to sort out her thoughts, Ye Wuyou's voice drifted into her ears once again. At this, she couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of the Princess.
Alone together at night, meeting in secret. After witnessing what had transpired between Rong Xiaoyu and Ling Xixi during their clandestine rendezvous, Young Master Meng could no longer view certain things with too much naivety.
However, unlike Young Master Meng's frustration, He Changping, standing at the door, calmly remarked, "It is late at night, it is improper for an unmarried man and woman to be alone together. You better return to your room for now. Whatever you have to say can wait until tomorrow."
"Tch, how old-fashioned!" Even though He Changping had shut the door on her, Ye Wuyou still didn't leave. Instead, she went straight to the point, "I just came to tell you something. Everything has been arranged, and we will depart from the capital tomorrow."
"What is going on?" With this, He Changping's expression became more serious, "Come inside and explain."
After that conversation, Young Master Meng couldn't hear anything more. Nevertheless, she already knew that her elder brother was indeed as Ye Qianxuan had described: not being held hostage and having freedom of movement.
Clearly, the so-called groom-robbing must have been partly orchestrated by her own elder brother.
Unlike Young Master Meng's distracted demeanor, the Princess beside her remained remarkably composed as they listened to the conversation downstairs. Unaffected by their words, she continued to turn Young Master Meng's face back towards her, kissing her once again on the lips, murmuring, "Do not get distracted."
Watching the Princess' entranced expression, Young Master Meng felt her heart soften even more, standing there in a daze, allowing the Princess to touch and kiss her.
However...
Thinking about the conversation downstairs regarding leaving the capital tomorrow, she realized this was a rare opportunity. If she didn't confront them now, she might not have had another chance like this.
Perhaps, once they had left, even if she wanted to find them, she might not be able to. If that were the case, this fake Prince Consort situation might never come to an end, and Young Master Meng wasn't sure if she could endure it until then. Meng Chang'an hesitated slightly, feeling conflicted.
At this moment, she was torn between wanting to go and confront her elder brother directly and feeling reluctant to leave the Princess, who looked so enchanting. She didn't want that unfaithful man to see the Princess in such a seductive posture.
Moreover, if she entered the room now and accidentally witnessed that man being ambiguous with Ye Wuyou, how would she explain it to the Princess? Young Master Meng tightened her grip on the Princess' waist, feeling the need to protect her even more.
"Your Highness..." After making up her mind, Young Master Meng lowered her head and gently nibbled on the Princess' lip, whispering softly, "Let us go back home first, okay?"
Thinking that she could deceive her way through, Young Master Meng didn't realize that just this one small decision had already delighted the princess beyond measure.
The Princess immediately beamed and asked directly, "Shall we continue back home?"
Author's Note:
Princess: Shall we continue back home? If not, we will not go back home. We will just get it done here!
Do you know why the author stepped on the brakes? In the previous chapter, I was driving two cars at the same time and I didn’t dare to say anything because I was afraid of accidentally overturning the car. As a result... I didn't expect that there were still as few comments as ever. The author was too sad and couldn't feel your desire for wardrobe play, so I stopped! Mm, I almost believe it!
*driving a car is the behavior of sharing dirty jokes, talks and resources
