When the carriage drove into Diehua City, Mu Yunjin, who hadn't eaten all day, was already starving. Hearing the shouts all over the street, she couldn't help shouting to the outside to stop!
Hearing Mu Yunjin's call to stop, the carriage stopped immediately.
"Are you rich?" Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, touched her empty pockets, and looked at Chu Li who was resting beside her.
Hearing this, Chu Li raised his eyelids and said lazily, "Ask Ding Xianna."
"Okay." Mu Yunjin looked happy, sat up, opened the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and stretched out her hand to Ding Xian, "Give me some broken silver."
Ding Xian curled his lips, and naturally heard Chu Li's words just now, he couldn't help taking out a money bag from his bosom, and put it all in Mu Yunjin's palm.
Mu Yunjin took the money bag, took a piece of broken silver from it, threw the money bag back to Ding Xian, and then ran to a small stall.
After a while, Mu Yunjin came back with an oiled paper bag in her hand. Ding Xian originally wanted to help her into the carriage, but Mu Yunjin jumped into the carriage as if she didn't see Ding Xian.
Ding Xian frowned, thinking of the same scene in the suburbs just now, he couldn't help being a little curious, the third lady seemed to have some skills.
In the carriage, as soon as Mu Yunjin sat firmly, she couldn't wait to open the oiled paper bag, and several steaming buns appeared in front of her eyes.
Mu Yunjin picked up a steamed stuffed bun casually, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
Chu Li glanced at the buns, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and then looked at Mu Yunjin, who was eating happily, with a trace of surprise in his heart.
I have never seen a daughter who can eat a few buns so happily.
"Do you want it?" After eating a steamed stuffed bun, Mu Yunjin remembered that there was another person beside her, and handed the oiled paper package over.
Chu Li shook his head.
Seeing this, Mu Yunjin smiled, and didn't say much, these princes are so pampered, how can they look down on these things.
…
When the carriage stopped at the gate of Xiangfu, it was almost dusk. The housekeeper guarding the gate of Xiangfu saw a carriage stopped at the door, so he walked over.
Mu Yunjin got out of the carriage first, and when she saw the butler approaching, she said, "Uncle Wang, go and tell father that the sixth prince is here."
Uncle Wang was taken aback when he heard this, and then looked at the person who got out of the carriage behind Mu Yunjin. The person in that gorgeous dress, who exudes elegance and luxury all over his body, is the sixth prince, Chu Li!
After thinking about it, Uncle Wang nodded and immediately ran to the mansion.
"Sixth Prince, let's go, let's go in together." After Uncle Wang left, Mu Yunjin turned around and looked at Chu Li who was standing behind her.
"En." Chu Li said casually, then walked to Mu Yunjin's side, and walked with her to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the two stepped into the front hall, they saw Mu Xiang, Su Biqing, Mu Lingzhu and others rushing over. Those people didn't even have time to respond why Mu Yunjin was with Chu Li, so they asked Chu Li first. Ann.
"The old minister pays homage to His Highness the Sixth Prince." Mu Xiang bent down and gave Chu a sharp salute.
Seeing this, Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu also stroked Chu Li.
"Mu Xiang doesn't need to be too polite, my prince was also invited by the third lady today, please don't think my prince is troublesome." Chu Li said indifferently, his words were humble, but there was no humility in his tone.
When they heard that Mu Yunjin had invited Chu Li, Mu and the others were stunned, a little surprised why Mu Yunjin was with Chu Li.
Especially Mu Lingzhu, when she saw Chu Li and Mu Yunjin coming back together, the scarlet in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
Originally thought that the man in black who took Mu Yunjin away was not a kind person, but unexpectedly, not only did she come back alive, but she even came back with the sixth prince.
Could it be...
Mu Lingzhu imagined it for a while, but she didn't dare to think about it.
"Zhu'er, didn't you and Yun Jin participate in the poetry recital together today? Could it be that the sixth prince also participated?" Su Biqing was somewhat curious about Mu Yunjin and Chu Li standing side by side in front of her.
Mu Lingzhu bit her lip, thinking about how to say this.
Originally, she was the first to go back to the mansion, and did not mention to anyone in the mansion about the robbers on the road. She also thought that if Mu Yunjin hadn't come back after dark, she would tell her father, Mu Yunjin, to run away first because of fun.
Unexpectedly, she came with Chu Li.
"This prince and Miss San just met on the road by chance." Chu Li answered Su Biqing's question.
Hearing this, Su Biqing smiled sharply at Chu, and thought again in her heart. She has always heard that the sixth prince is indifferent, often alone, and difficult to get close to others. She did not expect to accept Mu Yunjin's invitation.
If the sixth prince really fell in love with Yun Jin, then what should Zhu'er do.
…
As night falls, on the dinner table.
Mu Yunjin wolfed down a few steamed buns not long ago, so she didn't have much appetite for the dishes on the table. Instead, she drank a few sips of tea to moisten her throat from time to time, and observed the movement around her.
After Mu Lingzhu took her seat, she almost didn't dare to look at Mu Yunjin's place. Under the hint of Su Biqing's eyes from time to time, she kept helping Chu Li hold the vegetables.
Not long after, the small bowls in front of Chu Li piled up like a hill.
But Chu Li didn't even move his chopsticks, and he didn't intend to eat those dishes at all. For a while, Mu Lingzhu was a little embarrassed.
"Sixth prince, is the food not to your liking?" Mu Xiang looked at Chu Li who was not moving his chopsticks, and asked with some concern, fearing that he might offend the Buddha by doing something wrong.
Hearing this, Chu Li glanced at Mu Xiang indifferently, and then parted his thin lips lightly, "Master Xiang is too worried."
Chu Li's answer made Mu Xiang not know what to say for a while. Among the princes, only Chu Li's preferences were unpredictable.
But at this time, Chu Li had another thought in his heart.
From the dining table in front of him, one can see the status of the members of the Mu family in this mansion. Mu Xiang is the master of the mansion, so he naturally takes the master seat.
But next to him, on the left and the right, were the eldest lady Su Biqing and the fourth young lady Mu Lingzhu.
Next to Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu, there were the third lady and the fifth lady.
Only the eldest daughter of the Mu family was seated at the edge of the dining table.
But seeing the heartless look on the face of the little fox beside him, Chu Li thought about it, and only thought of five words—
Play pig eat tiger.
It seems that the rumor that Miss Mu San is not favored is true, but the name of Miss Mu San's idiot is false.
After sitting for a while, Ding Xian glanced at the sky, then leaned down and said softly to Chu Li, "Your Highness, the night is getting dark, it's getting late."
Chu Li heard the words, glanced at the sky outside, and then nodded.
Sitting next to Chu Li, Mu Yunjin naturally heard Ding Xian's voice, so she asked, "Is the sixth prince going back to the palace?"
"En." Chu Li hummed, sat up, and said indifferently, "It's getting late, my prince is leaving first, thank you for your hospitality today."
"Where is that, the sixth prince is being polite." Mu Xiang sat up, and then said to Mu Yunjin, "Yunjin, you send the sixth prince off."
Mu Yunjin nodded.
Seeing this, Su Biqing immediately blinked at Mu Lingzhu and said, "Lingzhu, you and your sister will send off the sixth prince together."
"Yes, mother."
On the way to the gate, Ding Xian asked the housekeeper for a big lantern and held it in his hand to help Chu Li illuminate the path under his feet, reminding Chu Li to be careful and walk slowly from time to time.
Seeing this scene, Mu Yunjin couldn't help but looked up at the sky and rolled her eyes. The Xiangfu is full of lanterns, and the lights are brightly lit. This Ding Xian is unnecessary, what kind of big lanterns are there to light the way.
After leaving the gate of the mansion, Mu Yunjin stopped, and wanted to send it here, but Mu Lingzhu called out to stop Chu Li.
"Your Highness Sixth Prince, Lingzhu has something to ask." Mu Lingzhu took a few steps forward, walked up to Chu Li, lowered her eyes, and looked shy.
Mu Yunjin crossed her arms, watched the scene with great interest, and waited for Mu Lingzhu's next words.
"What's the matter?" Chu Li glanced at Mu Lingzhu lightly, his tone was cold, even mixed with some impatience.
"Lingzhu heard that the sixth prince once studied a subject of metaphysics. Lingzhu has a few questions. I imagine the sixth prince asking for advice. I wonder if the sixth prince can spare some time to teach me." Mu Lingzhu's eyes flickered, and after asking a few words, Some nervously waiting for Chu Li's answer.
"cannot."
The simple and clear words uttered, shattering all the hopes in Mu Lingzhu's heart at once. Mu Lingzhu never expected that Chu Li would refuse so shamelessly, and even opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Mu Yunjin couldn't help but sneered, and gave Chu Li an appreciative look at the back of Chu Li walking towards the carriage. This iceberg man, from this point of view, is quite amusing.
In front of the carriage, Chu Li seemed to have thought of something, paused his steps, turned his eyes to look at Mu Yunjin who was smiling, and said seriously, "Mu Yunjin, the prince will come to you in three days."
"Okay." Mu Yunjin nodded, thinking that she would get 30,000 taels of gold in three days, she couldn't hide her excitement.
After saying that, I saw Chu Li getting into the carriage. Ding Xian, who was on the side, saw this, and ran to Mu Yunjin with a lantern in his hand, and put the big lantern in Mu Yunjin's hand, "Thank you, Miss San, for your kindness." lantern."
Mu Yunjin frowned, looked at the big lantern in her hand with disgust, and muttered, "I didn't borrow your lantern, thank you for what!"
After Chu Li's carriage left, Mu Yunjin withdrew her thoughts, looked sideways at Mu Lingzhu who was beside her clenched her lips, and a hint of ridicule flashed in her eyes.
"Sister, seeing that I came back intact today, are you particularly disappointed?" Mu Yunjin sneered.
When Mu Lingzhu heard about it, she naturally understood what Mu Yunjin was referring to. When she thought of Chu Li's attitude just now, she became angry, gritted her teeth, and said to Mu Yunjin, "Yeah, I'm very disappointed, you This bitch, why didn't you die outside, why did you come back alive!"
"Oh, you can't blame me. If you want to blame, you can blame the sixth prince." Mu Yunjin walked to Mu Lingzhu's side, leaned over and whispered, "Because the man in black who rescued me was the sixth prince." Guard Ding next to the prince."
"What?" Mu Lingzhu staggered, her eyes widened in disbelief, as if something in her heart fell to the bottom of the valley in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Mu Yunjin's sneer, which was extremely cold and piercing, "It's in vain that you have loved him for eight years, and the crisis is imminent. He doesn't care about your life, but I was the one who rescued you..."
"Hahaha, Mu Lingzhu, I feel so sad for you!"
