When they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Elder Mu Yu and Lan Yunxi had just gotten out of the car. The housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion who had just greeted them was dressed as a female official in a green palace dress. The middle-aged woman came over together.
As soon as the woman came over, her critical eyes looked at Lan Yunxi from top to bottom, as if she were looking at goods.
Elder Mu Yu's eyebrows suddenly raised. When he saw Elder Mu Yu glaring over, the woman snorted coldly, calmed down for a moment, and only looked at the tops of the two people's heads.
"This is Shang Yi, the official of the Prince's Mansion. He personally handles many matters around His Highness!" The housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion introduced the female official to Lan Yunxi and Elder Mu Yu without any expression.
After hearing the butler's introduction, the female official nodded slightly to the two of them and said coldly, "My surname is Feng. In the prince's palace, you can just call me Feng Shangyi. Miss, I'm tired from the journey and it's windy and snowy outside. Why don't you go take a shower and change clothes first, take a short rest, and then I will take the lady to see His Highness..."
As soon as you arrive at the Prince's Mansion, you have to shower and change clothes before seeing anyone. Most people probably don't understand the meaning of this and think it is the hospitality rule of the Prince's Mansion, but Elder Mu Yu knows what is famous about this place. Fame is similar to the rules for selecting maids or concubines for wealthy families. Those women who want to enter the house must "bath and change clothes" when entering. It is just an elegant way of saying "bath and change clothes". To be honest, To put it bluntly, it’s a physical examination.
Elder Mu Yu didn't expect that he and Lan Yunxi would be treated like this when they came here. As soon as the female officer finished speaking, Elder Mu Yu, who had been a little angry just now, couldn't help it anymore and directly questioned the steward of the Prince's Mansion with an extremely angry tone, " What's the point? Among the many details we discussed before, this was not the case... "
The butler did not argue, but just smiled and said in a neutral tone, "There are always rules around His Highness, and there are many rules. Feng Shangyi also takes care of these things personally. We decided after discussion. It's just my job, so naturally I can't do it for you..."
"Your Highness is a member of the Taixia royal family. His status is very important. This is a prince's palace, not a small family in a remote village who has never seen the world. There are no rules. You can do whatever you want. Any woman can do whatever she wants. When you meet His Highness, you will naturally listen to my arrangements..." Shang Yi, who was in front of the Prince's Mansion, snorted coldly and said with sarcasm.
Elder Mu Yu wanted to say something else, but Lan Yunxi raised his hand to stop him, "These bastards are tired on the flying boat, so let's go take a shower and change clothes, or take a short rest..." After saying this, Lan Yun Xi looked at Feng Shangyi calmly, "Where can I take a bath? Please take me there..."
Feng Shangyi snorted coldly, said, "Follow me", turned around and left. Lan Yunxi glanced at Elder Mu Yu and left with the female official.
The butler of the Prince's Mansion didn't say much. He just winked and asked a servant next to him to take Elder Mu Yu to a side hall to rest.
Elder Mu Yu's fists were clenched tightly, and his heart was filled with a sense of humiliation, but he could not let it out. He could only hold it in his heart, looking at the high walls of the prince's mansion and the servants in the mansion with their eyes above their heads. Elder Mu Yu could not help but feel a little sad. When Elder Mu Shen was here, Huaiyuantang was so beautiful. Even if Elder Mu Shen was on Xuanyuan Hill, he was always a guest of His Highness. Even His Highness did not dare to look down upon him. Treat each other with courtesy and treat each other as brothers, even the royal manor in Xuanyuan Hill can give them away as soon as they ask. In the absence of the elder Mu Shen, the dignified elders of the Huaiyuantang family will have to suffer the consequences when they come to the prince's mansion in the Tang Dynasty. The ridicule and insults from several servants...
Whose fault is this? Is it Zhang Taixuan? But Zhang Taixuan is already dead. What’s the point? Is it Elder Mu Shen? Thinking of Zhang Tie, Elder Mu Yu can’t even feel the slightest resentment in his heart. Not to mention Elder Mu Yu, All the elders in Huaiyuan Hall gathered together in private. When talking about Elder Mu Shen, all they thought of was the good things about Elder Mu, not the bad ones. Thinking back carefully, Elder Mu Shen has made great contributions in Huaiyuan Hall since he became a knight. The biggest, the most dedicated, the most endured the most hardships, but never complained, and never fought for power. Some of the things Elder Mu Yu could do, even the head of the family couldn’t do. Thinking of Elder Mu Yu being forced to establish his own Golden Crow Hall, the people in Huaiyuan Hall All the elders were extremely sad and felt guilty.
A young man from the Prince's Mansion was walking with Elder Mu Yu in the corridor of the Prince's Mansion. After walking for a while, before he reached the side hall, a man walked towards him. When he saw that person, the servant of the Prince's Mansion led the way. The person quickly moved out of the way and walked to the side. Elder Mu Shen was thinking about something and just glanced at the person. He didn't pay attention at first. But when the two people passed by each other, the person's body suddenly turned sideways and directly hit him. He bumped into Elder Mu Yu with his shoulder. He was so powerful and so fierce that he didn't even have time to retreat.
Elder Mu Yu felt a chill in his heart, and then became angry. His whole body reacted in an instant, his shoulders sank, and he bumped into him without giving in.
There was a muffled sound of "Bang..." and then three footsteps of "kick, kick, kick". The man's body did not move at all, but Elder Mu Yu's body was directly knocked back three steps, and half of his body was numb. , the whole person's energy and blood surged, his chest felt tight, as if it was blocked by something, and his face immediately changed...
The Earth Knight, that person was the Earth Knight. Elder Mu Yu didn't react until the two people's bodies collided.
The man looked at Elder Mu Yu with a sneer. What he said seemed to be an apology, but it was more like sarcasm, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention when I was walking and bumped into you. Are you okay? Do you need me to help you?" …”
Elder Mu Yu closed his mouth tightly and swallowed down the surge of blood. He stared at the man with his eyes and raised his chest, "I'm fine... I don't know who you are?"
"Hahaha, my name is Jiang Feng, and I am just a small guard beside His Highness!" The earth knight looked at Elder Mu Yu again, crossed his arms, squinted his eyes, and asked knowingly, "I heard that Huaiyuan An elder came to the hall, and he bargained tit-for-tat with Butler Liu of the Prince's Mansion and refused to give in. He was very majestic. That person must be you... "
"Yes, I am Zhang Muyu from Huaiyuantang. I wonder if you have any advice!" Elder Mu Yu held his head high and looked at Jiang Feng without fear.
As the so-called loser does not lose, even when facing the knights of the earth, Elder Mu Yu showed no fear and was full of momentum.
"Hey hey hey, I don't have any advice. It's just that the rules of the Prince's Mansion are strict and there are many experts. You can't break into many places. Outsiders should be careful when walking. It's best to do as the Romans do. Guests do as they please. This is not Youzhou. Not to mention Huaiyuantang. It is best not to bring the rules and temper of a small family like Huaiyuantang to the prince's mansion..." Jiang Fengyin said thoughtfully, after taking a look at Elder Mu Yu, who had an iron face. , smiled to himself, and walked forward, shaking his head as he walked, and sneered, "Huaiyuantang, haha..."
Elder Mu Yu's face turned red, and he almost couldn't help but turn around and pounce on Jiang Feng. However, at this time, if he made a fuss, it would not be a pity to die, but for Lan Yunxi and Huaiyuan. Tang was probably just adding insult to injury. Thinking of this, thinking of Lan Yunxi who was alone in the Prince's Mansion at the moment, and Huaiyuantang in the storm, Elder Mu Yu could only grit his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and let out this bad breath. Swallowed.
The side hall was in a deserted place. Entering the side hall, Elder Mu Yu stood at the window of the side hall, looking at the few sparrows hiding under the tile eaves outside the side hall, feeling sad in his heart. Angry again, after the maid served a cup of tea and just stepped back, the blood and energy that had just been suppressed started to boil again. Elder Mu Yu finally couldn't help it. He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, which fell outside the side hall. On the snow in the garden.
Several sparrows under the eaves were frightened and flew away, flapping their wings, but on the snow, a dazzling bright red was left...
Elder Mu Yu didn't notice that after those sparrows flew away, one of them still circled twice in the garden outside the side hall, staring at the bright red blood on the ground, and then Just flew away...
…
Lan Yunxi was taken to a bathroom by Feng Shangyi. In the bathroom, there were already several maids in palace clothes waiting for her.
The women in the prince's palace are all chosen from millions. Even if they are just a few maids, if only in terms of figure and appearance, they are as beautiful as Lan Yunxi.
As soon as Lan Yunxi came, Feng Shangyi winked. The women looked at each other, then walked over and took off all the clothes on Lan Yunxi from top to bottom. No one was left. Let Lan Yunxi enter the bathtub to take a bath. After taking a bath, Lan Yunxi came up. The maids helped Lan Yunxi wipe the water and carefully inspected every inch of Lan Yunxi's skin. Read it again.
During this process, Feng Shangyi stood aside like an examiner, inspecting Lan Yunxi's body inch by inch with stern and critical eyes, until several maids wiped the moisture off Lan Yunxi's body. Clean, that Feng Shangyi nodded, commented in a stereotyped tone, and nodded slightly, "The skin is as smooth as gel, no birthmarks, no scars, the body has its own fragrance, the hair is soft and not messy, after the legs are together There is no gap in the legs, and paper cannot be inserted. The vagina is firm but not wide. If the vagina is wide, it is the appearance of a vagina and cannot sleep with His Majesty. The waist is soft but not thin, and it can be prosperous. Heirs, you can keep your children. There is not one of the thirty-six unlucky moles on a woman’s body, but among the thirty-six auspicious moles, there is one mole of a noble son on her abdomen. Yes, yes... "
No one knew what Lan Yunxi was thinking at this moment, but after Feng Shangyi finished speaking, she asked coldly, "Is it okay now?"
"The palace sand on your arm is still there, but you still need to check it. The woman who will serve His Highness in the future must be clean and cannot lose her virginity. Where is the bed? You lie down and open your legs. I want to check... "
Lan Yunxi lay down, and Feng Shangyi came over in person. After a careful inspection, Lan Yunxi was allowed to put her clothes back on.
During this process, Lan Yunxi kept her eyes open and looked at the roof of the room, but there was no expression on her face.
After redressing, Lan Yunxi saw Xuanyuan Wuji.
…
Xuanyuan Wuji was dressed in the clothes of a prince and sat high on the main seat of the room. As soon as Feng Shangyi came in with Lan Yunxi, Xuanyuan Wuji looked at Lan Yunxi from head to toe with stern eyes. When Feng Shangyi came in, he looked at Lan Yunxi from head to toe. Shang Yi walked up to him, and after whispering a few words in his ear, a strange smile appeared on Xuanyuan Wuji's face.
"I didn't expect Zhang Taixuan to have such a beautiful and fragrant daughter. Yes, yes..." Xuanyuan Wuji laughed.
Under Xuanyuan Wuji's extremely aggressive gaze, Lan Yunxi sat upright, with a face as clear as water, neither happy nor angry, and inviolable, "Your Highness, thank you. Your Highness must also know the purpose of my visit this time!"
"Tell me, what are your conditions?" Xuanyuan Wuji looked at Lan Yunxi and asked nonchalantly. Except for his eyes that were a little presumptuous, he didn't show much urgency. He had the demeanor of a prince and treated the prince very well. Speaking of things, the so-called women are never in short supply.
"If I marry Your Highness, please Your Highness to make my father Zhang Taixuan the Duke of the country!"
"Hahaha, it's easy!" Xuanyuan Wuji agreed without hesitation. Honors for living people are not easy to give, but honors for dead people only need to be married to the royal family and become relatives of the emperor. If they want to make Zhang Taixuan a Duke, , there is no difficulty at all, "What else?"
"One child and one tower of time. This is my reward for continuing the bloodline of His Highness..." Lan Yunxi said calmly. At this time, she was putting herself on the stage to bargain with others. This should be a shameful thing. , but Lan Yunxi’s face was terrifyingly calm.
"Hahaha, don't you think the price is a bit too high?" Xuanyuan Wuji asked with a smile, but his tone was a bit cold.
"For others, the price is naturally a bit high, but it is not high for His Highness. If the child can completely inherit the bloodline of His Highness's ancestors and can break through, then, isn't it true that His Highness's bloodline heirs are stronger than the Prince's bloodline heirs? Is it God’s will? Taixia’s ninth position among the royal family, shouldn’t it be inherited by someone who can continue the strongest bloodline?”
Xuanyuan Wuji's eyes burst into light as he stared at Lan Yunxi. Lan Yunxi also looked at Xuanyuan Changying without showing any weakness. After half a minute, Xuanyuan Changying's eyes softened and said, "You are very brave. !”
"If I were not brave, how could I dare to marry into an emperor's family!"
"Okay, I agree. It's just a few Towers of Time. Are there any other conditions?"
"Changfeng Merchant Group wants to become an imperial merchant!"
"Okay! Is there any more?"
Lan Yunxi thought for a while and finally shook her head. For some reason, after achieving all her goals, she felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.
"Okay, let's make it that way. I'll let you know after I book the wedding date. It should be within this year!" Xuanyuan Wuji looked at Lan Yunxi, suddenly laughed, and suddenly changed the topic, " You are now my fiancée. When you come to Datang City this time, you will stay for two more days. On the 29th, go hunting with me in winter!"
No. 29, Winter Hunting—Lan Yunxi was slightly startled. This was the time that Lan Yunxi had been trying to avoid, but she never expected that Xuanyuan Wuji would go hunting on this day.
"This is a good day. This is the last winter hunt of the year. I like to see those trapped animals with sharp claws struggling in vain in the snow..." Xuanyuan Wuji smiled, showing his white teeth...
…
The meeting with Xuanyuan Wuji was very short, less than ten minutes, and this "deal" was already completely negotiated.
When leaving Xuanyuan Wuji, Lan Yunxi felt as if her whole body was empty. Everything had been discussed, but there was no joy in Lan Yunxi's heart. This feeling did not feel like she had gained something, but like she had gained something. Something is lost.
When she saw Elder Mu Yu again, Lan Yunxi realized that Elder Mu Yu's expression was a little bad.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing!" Elder Mu Yu shook his head and said nothing, because in Elder Mu Yu's eyes, Lan Yunxi's face also didn't look good, "Let's go back..."
"Um!"
The two got in the car again and drove towards the booked hotel. In the car, Lan Yunxi told Elder Mu Yu about the meeting just now, and also talked about Xuanyuan Wuji's invitation to her for a winter hunt two days later.
For some reason, Elder Mu Yu also felt a little awkward when he heard the news.
"Miss, if you don't want to go, we will go back to Youzhou..."
"It's just hunting, why don't I go..." Lan Yunxi looked at the scenery outside the window and said quietly, "Maybe this way, time will pass faster!"
There was silence in the car for a long time before Elder Mu Yu spoke quietly, "Elder Mu Yuan and Elder Murray should have arrived at the Gobi Yinhai by this time to watch the battle in person. If there is any news, they will notify me as soon as possible... "
Lan Yunxi tilted her head, pursed her lips tightly, and looked at the snowy scene of Datang City outside the car window. She said nothing, but her face suddenly turned pale like the snowflakes outside...
