Hearing the sound, Ding Xian, who was about to strike the second palm, was taken aback for a moment, and immediately withdrew his palm. When he looked at the person with his eyes fixed on him, there was a trace of shock in his eyes, and he immediately ran forward.
"The princess?"
Mu Yunjin fell heavily just now, and this time rolled on the ground again, looking a little embarrassed, raised her hand to Ding Xian, "Help me up quickly."
"Prince Concubine, why are you here?" Ding Xian helped Mu Yunjin up and looked at her in surprise.
Mu Yunjin stretched her sore muscles and walked into the courtyard while supporting her waist, "I'm here to find Chu Li, I have something to talk to him about."
After entering the courtyard, Mu Yunjin took a look at the dawning sky, sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and waited for Chu Li to get up.
Seeing Mu Yunjin's tired face, Ding Xian was sitting in front of the stone table with his head propped on his hands, and stepped forward, "Your Highness slept late yesterday, and he just fell asleep not long ago. I guess it will be a while before I wake up. Why don't you go to bed first?" Go to the wing and rest for a while."
"Yeah." Mu Yunjin yawned, nodded, and walked to the wing where she used to live.
After entering the wing room, the furnishings inside were still the same as the previous one. Mu Yunjin almost didn't sleep last night, so she threw herself on the bed and fell into a deep sleep in a short while.
…
When Mu Yunjin woke up again, it was past noon.
Mu Yunjin rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched a lot, got up from the bed contentedly, and walked outside the door.
Pushing open the door, Chu Li was dressed in purple, sitting in the courtyard with his back to Mu Yunjin, holding a teacup in his hand, drinking tea casually.
"woke up?"
Before Mu Yunjin could approach, Chu Li Qinghan's indifferent voice came from the front.
Mu Yunjin hummed lazily, sat down beside Chu Li, reached out to pour herself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking a glass of water, Mu Yunjin looked up at Chu Li, pursed her lips, "I have something to tell you."
"En." Chu Li nodded, and waved to Ding Xian who was beside him.
Ding Xian understood immediately, and took a few steps back, leaving the two alone to talk.
"Speak." Chu Li said.
There was some deep meaning in Mu Yunjin's eyes, her eyes fell on Chu Li, she bit her lip, she didn't know where to start.
Thinking about how the Concubine Qin had treated Chu Li very kindly on the surface for so many years, but she was always on guard against Chu Li in her heart, and even forced herself, who had a very bad reputation at that time, to be his concubine.
Thinking about how every time Chu Li met Concubine Qin, she would almost call her a grandmother, and Mu Yunjin felt a little bit aggrieved in her heart.
"I want to be free..." After a while, Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, her voice was like mosquitoes and ants.
Chu Li heard Mu Yunjin's words clearly, with a calm expression on his face, but a little disapproving, "Aren't you free enough now?"
"What I'm talking about is another kind of freedom, the freedom without restraint or entanglement." Mu Yunjin raised her eyes and met Chu Li's gaze, her eyes were firm like never before.
Chu Li was stared at by this firm gaze, and he didn't say anything for a while. After a while, Chu Li lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Are you scared?"
"Afraid?" Mu Yunjin's heart was inexplicably hit, she immediately raised her eyebrows, and retorted, "Is there anything in this world that I'm afraid of!"
"If you weren't afraid, why did you leave the prince early?" Chu Li curled his lips, and there seemed to be an unspeakable interest in his eyes.
Mu Yunjin bit her lips, and what Chu Li said made her feel a little sullen for no reason, and she couldn't get up or down, making her uncomfortable.
Afraid…
She, Mu Yunjin, has always been fearless, at most she is afraid of trouble...
What's more, she is a pawn used by Concubine Qin. She has been arrogant all her life, so how can she be used by others at will!
"I'm by your side, eating and drinking all day long, but it's useless. Anyway, Miss Qin is back, and it's enough to have her by your side to help you!" Mu Yunjin squeezed out the words Come on, I even feel against my own will.
Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin, seeing her dodging eyes, he didn't feel any annoyance in his heart, but found it very interesting, "Are you jealous?"
"You..." Mu Yunjin glared at Chu Li angrily when she heard the words, "Who is jealous of you! We didn't pay homage, and we are not a real couple. You said that I can leave when I meet someone I like. .”
"Then have you met?" Chu Li cast a sidelong glance at Mu Yunjin and asked coldly.
Mu Yunjin bit her lip, seeing that Chu Li didn't seem to want to let her go, so she changed the subject, with a hint of slyness in her brows and eyes, "You said so many excuses not to let me go, don't you like me?" ?”
Chu Li paused while holding the teacup, and glanced at Mu Yunjin, her brows were light, and her lowered eyes seemed to be thinking a little bit.
Do you like her
Chu Li asked himself from the bottom of his heart, and then shook his head with a smile. In this world, Mu Yunjin is probably the most interesting woman he has ever seen.
She obviously has such an obedient and alert temperament, but she has allowed herself to be notorious for so many years.
In this world, everyone respects him as the son of the royal family, and everyone rushes to curry favor with him. But she was the only one who never flattered or flattered him. She should be the least serious person in this world who doesn't take him seriously.
Such an interesting person, I am afraid I will never find another one.
"Why don't you speak?" Seeing that Chu Li didn't answer, Mu Yunjin frowned.
Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Mu Yunjin, my prince will give you three months..."
…
On the carriage back, Mu Yunjin leaned against the window, her mind was completely filled with Chu Li's last words just now.
He said-
"Three months is enough to change any situation now. If you still leave after three months, this prince will never keep you."
Mu Yunjin leaned against the carriage, thinking about this sentence quietly, completely unable to guess the meaning of Chu Li's words, but inexplicably, that sentence changed everything, and suddenly gave her a sense of mission.
That's right, she lived in this world instead of the dead Mu Yunjin. That woman was once discredited and kept in the dark all day long in the small Shihua Pavilion, and finally died in the hands of Aunt Su.
She died accidentally in her previous life, but now her soul has passed through another world, and she can live safely until now with the body of Miss Mu San.
Now, she is occupying someone else's body, and she has not fulfilled her wish for that woman and found her real family, so how could she leave alone to be free and selfish.
Mu Yunjin, Mu Yunjin, the more you live, the less you look like yourself...
After a while, she glanced at Chu Li at the side, and saw that he was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed, with a peaceful and peaceful expression on his face, Mu Yunjin frowned slightly, thinking whether to tell Chu about Princess Qin's affairs severe.
After watching for a while, Chu Li suddenly opened his eyes. Before Mu Yunjin could look away, the two of them met each other's eyes, thinking about each other.
"Chu Li, I want to tell you something." Mu Yunjin mustered up her courage and looked at Chu Li. "En." Chu Li replied lazily.
Mu Yunjin opened her lips. She wanted to tell Chu Li everything about Concubine Qin, but after thinking about it, it was related to Concubine Rong and Huangnu Qin Muyue. After thinking about it, she closed her mouth. mouthed.
Shaking his head, he looked at Chu Li, "It's all right."
Before fully figuring out whether there is any connection between the Qin family and Chu Li, let her bury these things in her heart first.
…
After returning to the mansion, Shen Momo came up to welcome her, and looked at Mu Yunjin, "Prince and concubine, this is an invitation card from Rong Wang's mansion this morning."
"Invitation card?" Mu Yunjin was surprised, took the invitation card and unfolded it. The content inside turned out to be that Princess Rong invited her to visit the lake in the suburbs the day after tomorrow to appreciate the speech.
After reading it, Mu Yunjin closed the invitation and casually threw the invitation aside with disdain on her face.
"Princess Concubine, don't throw this thing around." Shen Momo ran to pick up the invitation card, "Princess Rong is the daughter-in-law of Empress Dowager Zheng. The lady will be invited."
"What will happen if you don't go?" Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows.
Upon hearing this, Shen Momo glanced at Chu Li beside Mu Yunjin, "You are newly married to His Highness, and this year you are going to represent our Sixth Prince's Mansion. If you don't go, I'm afraid you will be gossiped by those daughters-in-law."
Mu Yunjin was really helpless, every time she went to such an occasion, nothing good would happen, not to mention it was a women's party, it was a mess.
"Can I not go?" Mu Yunjin directly raised her eyes and turned her gaze to Chu Li, there was a hint of coquettish softness in her voice that she hadn't noticed.
Chu Li squinted at Mu Yunjin, turned his head to look at the invitation card in Nanny Shen's hand, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Since you can read, go and exercise hard the day after tomorrow."
Mu Yunjin was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, and almost forgot that she had pretended to be illiterate in front of Chu Li before, but when she read the invitation just now, she was exposed all of a sudden.
Mu Yunjin patted her head and cursed herself for being stupid.
After a pause, Mu Yunjin muttered again, "This Princess Rong, why is she so haunted recently?"
…
On the way back to Liquan Pavilion, Chu Li walked in front, Mu Yunjin and Zixiang walked behind, and asked Zixiang from time to time, "Then what is the purpose of the lake tour appreciation meeting?"
"I heard that the servants are drinking tea and composing poems. There is a Yingguang lake in the suburbs, which is very beautiful. Many scholars especially like to compose poems on the Yingguang lake."
Mu Yunjin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was a poem and a pair of words. She learned so many ancient poems when she was a child, so she was afraid that she might not be able to deal with those women!
"Then I'm relieved." Mu Yunjin sighed slightly.
"Miss..." Zixiang frowned, and looked at Mu Yunjin with some embarrassment, "Are you sure you can?"
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, "Of course, in comparison, Mu Lingzhu may not be my opponent!"
Zixiang shook her head, obviously unwilling to believe it.
Chu Li walked in front, listening to the conversation behind him, he smiled faintly.
"Your Highness, those black lotuses have bloomed now, and the flowering period is half a month. If we can't find a way to crack it within half a month, our three years of hard work will be in vain." Ding Xian lowered his voice and said, wrinkled Frowning, a little worried.
Hearing this, Chu Li's brows were covered with a layer of haze. Hearing the occasional laughter and jokes from behind, Chu Li paused, and suddenly remembered what Master Huaiyuan had said.
"If so, let Mu Yunjin try it?"
