Chapter 1635: Chapter 1263: Evildoer, Thank You for Being Here!

"What exactly are you imagining in your little head? How could you think so poorly of me?"

Saying this, Zhou Mu raised his hand and rubbed his forehead!

Being with this woman really requires a strong heart; otherwise, she’ll drive you to distraction sooner or later!

Gu Changsheng, hearing this, blinked her big eyes innocently and said, "What was I imagining? Did I say anything wrong? Why else would you undo my belt?"

Her middle garment in the Imperial Robes was tied with a brocade belt, and just tying it was enough to give her a headache!

Once the brocade belt was undone, well, her middle garment would probably fly open!

Yet, her evildoer still justifiably acted like everyone knew Sima Zhao’s intentions, alright? How did she wrong him then?

When Zhou Mu heard this, he felt even more helpless, raised his hand, pointed at Gu Changsheng’s waist, and said with a shake of his head, "Don’t you even look at the knot you tied! If I don’t untie it, how am I supposed to help you retie it properly?"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s bright face froze.

She looked down at her waist, then back at her evildoer, and said hesitantly, "Did I really tie it that badly?"

Zhou Mu raised an eyebrow, "What else? Even a three-year-old would tie it more delicately than you!"

Seeing her evildoer’s disdainful look, Gu Changsheng felt embarrassed.

Alright!

She really wasn’t cut out for this!

When it came to needlework and similar tasks, Gu Changsheng was completely clueless!

Just look at this knot she tied; it could be called unique!

Twisted, uneven, very unconventional!

"Come here!" Zhou Mu beckoned to Gu Changsheng.

"Oh!" Responding in a daze, Gu Changsheng moved in front of Zhou Mu.

Watching her man bend down, his long fingers expertly weaving through the knot she tied on the brocade belt, Gu Changsheng suddenly found him incredibly considerate!

But soon, Gu Changsheng realized she was wrong!

This touch of consideration comes with a caveat!

It’d be more considerate if he didn’t talk!

While Zhou Mu untied the knot, he said, "Fortunately, it’s not a dead knot this time; Changsheng has made some progress..."

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt extremely embarrassed!

Duh, is that a compliment?

Can she even consider this a compliment?

She would have to be so oblivious to take that as a compliment!

The knotting the belt into a dead knot, it’s happened more than a couple of times, and who knows how many brocade belts she’s ruined, cutting them whenever she couldn’t untie them!

The thing is, originally, the clothes her evildoer prepared for her were made of unbelievably good material; some were even waterproof and fireproof, resistant to swords! Cutting them was out of the question!

Because of this, she’d made quite a fool of herself, and Xiao Cui and Han Qiu had laughed at her plenty!

Later on, she got smart and had belts made from inferior materials!

That way, even if they ended up with dead knots, cutting them was no problem, and she wouldn’t feel sorry!

The key is that poor-quality material can be cut, but good material can’t be cut!

And her current Imperial Robes were, unfortunately, part of her formal wear that didn’t have specially made brocade belts!

If she really tied a dead knot, it’d be quite troublesome!

However, Gu Changsheng still felt she needed to say something to save face. So, glancing at her evildoer who was retying her brocade belt, Gu Changsheng said hesitantly, "Actually, I’m pretty good at tying knots when it comes to binding people!"

"Yes, you’re quite good at that; all your knots are dead knots, ensuring no one can escape!" Zhou Mu replied, nodding with a serious look on his ethereal face.

"..."

Gu Changsheng felt embarrassed.

Zhou Mu ignored her, moved his long fingers up, and readjusted the messy knot she’d made.

"Sit down!" He lightly tapped Gu Changsheng’s forehead and led her to the back of the carriage.

"Oh!"

Gu Changsheng snapped out of her embarrassment and obediently sat down!

She then watched her evildoer skillfully retrieve a grooming box from a compartment in the carriage, pull out a jade comb, and walk behind her to untangle her slightly messy hair...

Resting her chin on one hand on the small table, Gu Changsheng turned her head...

"Don’t move!" Zhou Mu glared at her and cautioned, "Or if the hair crown goes crooked, it’s not my fault!"

"I won’t blame you, won’t blame you!" Gu Changsheng quickly replied, blinking her Phoenix Eyes with admiration, and said, "Evildoer, I’ve always wondered, other than having babies, is there anything you can’t do?"

"I will never do anything that hurts you!" Zhou Mu’s slender fingers ran through Gu Changsheng’s jet-black hair, as he softly spoke.

Gu Changsheng heard this and felt a warmth in her heart. She waved her other hand playfully and said, "This doesn’t count! See, you know how to dress, how to style hair..."

"That’s something everyone can do!" Zhou Mu immediately replied.

And then...

The words that Gu Changsheng was about to say, "I can’t do any of it," got stuck in her throat!

Rolling her eyes, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but glare at the man behind her!

Damn it, this guy is doing it on purpose!

What’s this about everyone can do it?

Does that mean she’s not human?

She really can’t do it, what about it?

Seriously, having clumsy hands is tough!

So annoying!

With Zhou Mu’s long hair wrapped around his hand, he lowered his head and looked at the little woman in front of him, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he spoke again, "The dishes I cook don’t seem to be very good, otherwise, someone wouldn’t go to great lengths just to keep me out of the kitchen!"

It’s best if Zhou Mu doesn’t mention it; the moment he does, Gu Changsheng bursts into laughter!

"Don’t move!" Holding the laughing little woman, Zhou Mu said in a serious tone, "If you move, the hair crown will really be skewed!"

"Alright, alright! I won’t move! It’s just that whenever I think of your kitchen mishap, I can’t help myself!" Gu Changsheng said, covering her mouth with a laugh, turning to the man behind her, "You know, being an official of Great Zhou isn’t easy; the Court staff, unable to protect even their kitchens! Evildoer, I’m considering it for you; otherwise, if you burned down the kitchens of the civil and military officials of Great Zhou, wouldn’t they starve to death? And you, as a ruler, wouldn’t escape infamy!"

"The first Crown Prince in history to indirectly annihilate officials! Haha!"

Saying this, Gu Changsheng laughed even louder!

Hearing the bell-like laughter of his little woman, Zhou Mu shook his head. His face, like a Divine Residence, was full of affectionate indulgence, joining in the silent laughter.

Seeing her happy, Zhou Mu’s mood improved as well.

Gu Changsheng didn’t like complex hairstyles, and Zhou Mu, knowing her preferences well, tied her long hair into a high updo adorned with a delicate Court Bead Crown, simple yet dignified and elegant!

Gu Changsheng was naturally satisfied with her evildoer’s craftsmanship!

After finishing Gu Changsheng’s hair, she watched as her evildoer took out an Eyebrow Pencil from the makeup box, and she cooperatively raised her head slightly...

Although Gu Changsheng preferred to be a lazy person with untidy makeup, if someone was willing to take care of such details for her, especially if it was her evildoer, Gu Changsheng was more than happy to comply!

Even though it was rare for her evildoer to paint her brows and do her makeup, every time, Gu Changsheng felt a distinct happiness!

A sense of being cherished!

As her makeup was almost finished, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but look at her evildoer and asked hesitantly, "Evildoer, how did you calm down so quickly just now?"

Recalling their actions in the carriage, Gu Changsheng still felt a bit shy.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu’s busy hands paused slightly, casting a glance at his little woman, then glancing towards the back of the carriage and spoke in a deep voice, "The coffin of your father and Mother-in-law is still in the carriage behind..."

Upon hearing this, the brightness of Gu Changsheng’s face instantly dimmed.

"It’s disrespectful to overstep in their presence. If it weren’t for your teasing, how would I have lost composure?" Saying this, Zhou Mu reversed his hand, pulling Gu Changsheng into his embrace, placing his chin on her head, and soothingly said, "I don’t want you to have regrets or to blame yourself. Even if you hadn’t pulled away, I would have..."

As the faint aroma of ambergris lingered around her nose, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a bit of an achy nose!

But thinking about the future, about the path she must continue to walk, Gu Changsheng held back her tears, reaching out to hug the man’s strong waist, burying her head in his chest, speaking softly, "Evildoer, thank you!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Thank you for being with me!

Never once staying away!

Thank you!

Becoming your obsession is the greatest happiness I, Gu Changsheng, have ever had!

It is heaven’s greatest favor to me, Gu Changsheng!

Luckily, I have you!

Fortunately, I have you!

"Fool!" Zhou Mu’s face, like a Divine Residence, broke into a gentle smile, thawing the ice, unparalleled in beauty, as he fondly rubbed the small head of the woman in his arms.

"Don’t rub! It took you so much effort to finish! If you mess it up, you’ll pay!" Gu Changsheng used her free hand to protect her head, trying not to let negative emotions seep in.

"Haha! If it’s messed up, I’ll just redo your hair for you!" Zhou Mu chuckled.

"Troublemaker!" Gu Changsheng replied with a huff, burying her head again in Zhou Mu’s chest, hugging tightly, and murmured, "Let me hold you! Just hold you quietly..."

This man always moves her, touches her so deeply!

For her, he’s willing to risk his life, tolerate human nature, put aside his royal dignity to do her makeup...

How lucky is she, Gu Changsheng?

A lifetime having his heart, it’s enough!

Just as they were immersed in warmth, the Northern Mongolian Honor Guard stationed ahead...
