Facing Chu Li's gaze, Chu Qingyuan bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes again, "I didn't see anyone, I was talking nonsense with my sister-in-law."
Chu Li looked at Chu Qingyuan's unnatural expression, and thought of the joyful look she had talking to Mu Yunjin just now, so he knew that she must be lying at this time.
So he didn't expose her lie, and responded lightly.
Chu Qingyuan thought that she had dealt with Chu Li, and was instantly relieved. Seeing that Chu Li was back, she didn't stay here any longer.
"Sixth brother, then I'll go home first."
"Um."
…
Mu Yunjin was lying on the soft couch in the room, with her head buried in the quilt, she was lazy and didn't want to move.
Xiao Jiu, a dead child, how could he speak nonsense without restraint!
It's really embarrassing for her to lose face this time.
"Oh." Mu Yunjin sighed, turned over, lay flat on the bed, and looked at the ceiling.
The door was knocked lightly.
When Mu Yunjin heard the voice, she sat up like a conditioned reflex, frowning, "Who?"
"Miss, it's a slave." Zixiang's voice sounded from outside.
Mu Yunjin breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down again, "Come in."
Zixiang opened the door and walked in, holding a letter in her hand, and handed it to Mu Yunjin, "This is from Aunt Zhang."
"Aunt Zhang?" Mu Yunjin didn't think of this person for a long time, took the letter and read it.
After reading it, Mu Yunjin put down the letter. Fortunately, it was just an ordinary greeting. If something bad happened again, she was not in the mood to deal with it recently.
"What did Aunt Zhang say?" Zixiang asked curiously.
Mu Yunjin curled her lips, "Say hello, you can prepare some ink for me later, and I'll write her a letter back so she won't worry."
"Yes, miss."
"Yeah." Mu Yunjin nodded, and then seemed to remember something, "Did Qingyuan go back?"
Zixiang nodded, "I went back just now."
"What about Chu Li?" Mu Yunjin asked again.
Zixiang hooked her lips into a smile, "The sixth prince is sitting in the courtyard outside at the moment, why don't you call him?"
"What? He's outside?" Mu Yunjin couldn't help but amplify the decibels, then subconsciously covered her mouth, and a blush quietly appeared on her face.
Feeling that her cheeks were hot again, Mu Yunjin scolded herself countless times in her heart, and she never realized that her skin was so thin before.
I can't stand a joke now.
"Miss, what's the matter with you? Did you have a quarrel with His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince?" Seeing her unnatural expression, Zi Xiang asked worriedly.
Mu Yunjin shook her head and waved her hand towards Zixiang, "Go and help me prepare paper and pens first, I'll write back to Aunt Zhang first."
Zixiang nodded knowingly, and when she walked towards the door, she seemed to think of something again, "By the way, miss, I found this thing in your sleeve when I was doing laundry this morning."
Zixiang held a red ribbon in her hand.
Mu Yunjin saw that it was the red ribbon that she wrote "We are all well" yesterday, so she reached out to take it.
When I unfolded it, I don't know if it was soaked in water, the ink inside the ribbon was crumpled up, and the original handwriting could not be seen at all, it was a black mess.
Mu Yunjin's hand holding the red ribbon loosened instantly, and the ribbon fell gently to the ground.
Zixiang also caught a glimpse of the ball of black ink, thinking that Mu Yunjin didn't want it anymore, she bent down to pick it up and was about to take it out and throw it away.
"Hey, wait." Mu Yunjin called Zixiang to stop, and stretched out her hand, "Give it to me."
Zi Xiang tilted her head and glanced at Mu Yunjin, not quite understanding Mu Yunjin's strange behavior, and handed the red ribbon back to Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin smiled happily, put away the red ribbon, and stuffed it into her bosom.
After a while, the door rang again.
Mu Yunjin thought it was Zixiang who came with a pen and paper, so she said, "Come in."
The door was gently pushed open.
Mu Yunjin didn't raise her head, and said to the person, "How long do you think the thousand-year-old tree can live? What if the tree suddenly dies one day, and there are so many wishes hanging on the tree, is it true?" Aren't they all killed as well?"
"In your head, you've been thinking about something strange all day long." An indifferent voice came from the top of your head.
Hearing this voice, Mu Yunjin was inexplicably frightened. Looking down, she could only see the sharp clothes in front of her, so she muttered, "Why are you here?"
"Don't tell me, the prince, are you being shy with your current appearance?" Chu Li teased, thinking of Mu Yunjin's blushing and running away just now, and seeing her not daring to look up now, how could she look like that? A little fox who is not afraid of anything.
"Chu Li!" Mu Yunjin gritted her teeth, raised her eyes and stared at Chu Li, her eyes seemed to breathe fire, "Who is shy!"
Chu Li smiled lightly, seeing that her attitude returned to normal, "This seems to be just like you."
"Huh?" Mu Yunjin couldn't react for a moment.
"When I'm not a woman, I'm most like you."
Mu Yunjin stared at her eyes, scratched her head, and savored the words carefully. After a while, her face drooped, "Are you scolding me?"
…
Zixiang thought that Mu Yunjin was the only one in the house, so she held a pen and paper and pushed the door straight in. After entering the door, she caught a glimpse of Chu Li in the room, her eyes showed a trace of fear.
"I know my mistake, Your Highness and the princess concubine please forgive me." After saying that, she was about to go out.
"I know what's wrong, come back quickly, let me write the reply first." Mu Yunjin sat up, put on her shoes, and walked to the desk beside her.
Seeing that she wanted to write, Chu Li followed her to the table with great interest.
Zixiang helped Mu Yunjin study the ink, saw that Mu Yunjin took out the white paper and brush seriously, dipped some ink in it and was about to write, she even sweated for Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, shaking the hand holding the brush, and slowly wrote down the first word.
I have to say that Mu Yunjin's handwriting is really ugly.
But after a while, she wrote a page full of words. Although Zixiang couldn't understand these words, she saw that Mu Yunjin wrote fluently, so she knew that her lady could write.
Chu Li has long been familiar with everything that Mu Yunjin has shown, but he just doesn't understand that she knows everything, so why would she let herself be known as an idiot for so many years.
"Okay." Mu Yunjin put down the brush and blew on the ink on it.
Zixiang took the reply from Mu Yunjin and exclaimed, "Miss, when did you learn to write?"
"Tch, it will be three years old." Mu Yunjin made a nonsense, sat up, and poured herself a cup of tea.
When Chu Li heard her words, the corners of his lips curved slightly, "You will be able to write at the age of three, and only you can do it."
"..."
Mu Yunjin put down her teacup, and moved the phoenix tail whip on her wrist, "Chu Li, do you want to fight me to the death today?"
Chu Li spread his hands, expressing no pressure.
Seeing this, Mu Yunjin was immediately discouraged, flattened her mouth, and sighed secretly in her heart, it seems that she really can't beat Chu Li...
…
On the dinner table, it was extraordinarily harmonious.
Nanny Shen and Ding Xian leaned against the wall, looking at the two people who were eating food slowly in front of them, with soft faces on their faces, pursing their lips and snickering from time to time.
Sister Shen pulled Latin Xian's arm, and said in a low voice, "I was worried about His Highness when I heard that Miss Mu San was going to marry our Highness, but now it seems that worrying is for nothing."
Ding Xian nodded, made a 'shh' gesture, and pointed to the two people in front of him.
Nanny Shen understood immediately.
"Hey, why don't you eat carrots, no wonder your eyes don't improve." Seeing Chu Li eating vegetables, Mu Yunjin kept avoiding the plate of carrots with her chopsticks, and said with a frown.
If this guy's blindfold can't be cured, he will be the only one to carry a lantern in the future. The lantern is heavy and cumbersome, and she doesn't want to take it.
Seeing that Mu Yunjin seemed a little displeased, Chu Li frowned, glanced at the plate of carrots, and stretched out his chopsticks obediently.
"That makes sense, I'm also doing it for your own good." Mu Yunjin said, took the plate of carrots, and placed it in front of Chu Li.
Chu chewed the tasteless carrot, cast a sidelong glance at Mu Yunjin, and said coldly, "You don't want to carry the lantern."
"..." Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and twitched the corners of her mouth.
Having said that, Chu Li ate nearly half of the plate of carrots next, and the more he ate, the more stinky his face became.
"Miss, miss..." Zixiang's panicked voice came from outside.
Mu Yunjin took a sip of water and said slowly, "What's wrong?"
"It's about Miss Four's side. It is said that she is dying of illness. Concubine Rong sent someone to the mansion to tell Miss to go and see Miss Four as a sister."
Mu Yunjin didn't take it seriously, "Why is it a matter of Prince Rong's mansion again? Mu Lingzhu is seriously ill, so I asked Princess Rong to prepare for her funeral quickly. I'm not a fairy, will she be fine after seeing her? "
"What's more, didn't you send medicinal soup and wound medicine? Why can't it work? This old witch surnamed Qin is trying to cheat me again!" Mu Yunjin said angrily.
Zixiang pursed her lips, shook her head, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Then the people from Prince Rong's Mansion are still outside, what do you say, miss?" Zixiang said timidly.
Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li and asked Chu Li to make up his mind.
Chu Li's eyebrows and eyes were light, as if he was too lazy to care about this matter, "It depends on your own mood."
"What's the matter, remember to blow the jade whistle to lure the hidden guards." Chu Li said, and walked out of the dining hall.
Mu Yunjin bit her lip, took another sip of water, and waved her hand at Zixiang, "Come on, follow me to Prince Rong's Mansion."
"How should I put it, that woman Mu Lingzhu also belongs to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion are fighting so hard now, we can't let them gain the upper hand."
"Yes, miss."
When I left the gate of the mansion, the sky had already darkened, and the night wind blew past, making it a bit chilly.
Mu Yunjin got into the carriage sent by Prince Rong's Mansion, because Zixiang was bullied outside, so she dragged Zixiang into the carriage together.
The carriage staggered and walked all the way, Mu Yunjin felt that the dinner she ate was about to be thrown out, Molu looked contemptuously at the broken carriage sent by Prince Rong's Mansion.
This Princess Rong, Qin Shuning, is really not a good person.
After a while, the carriage stopped. When Mu Yunjin got out of the carriage, she saw that the surroundings were pitch black, except for a small door with a lantern hanging on it.
"Back door?" Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows and looked at the coachman driving the carriage.
The coachman shuddered inexplicably from Mu Yunjin's cold eyes, and said tremblingly, "The palace has a rule. After dinner, there is no light left in front of the gate. The princess is afraid of getting lost now." According to etiquette, let the little one bring the prince and concubine to the back door, and the back door is specially left with a light."
"Then I have to thank her, don't I?"
