In the dining hall, the atmosphere was relaxed, filled with hearty laughter from Beitang.
Mu Yunjin lowered her head to eat, and Jiang Qingxue and Beitang helped her hold the food from time to time. After a meal, the two barely ate much, and just stared at Mu Yunjin.
"Why don't you eat?" Mu Yunjin was a little embarrassed by the two people's eyes, raised her eyes to glance at them, and after meeting their gaze, Mu Yunjin lowered her head again.
Beitang was stunned for a moment when he heard the wind, and smiled, "How about it, compared to the food in Xiyuan Kingdom, which one do you like better?"
"Let me think about it..." Mu Yunjin stretched the ending, looked at Beitang Wenfeng and Jiang Qingxue looking forward to it, and smiled softly, "I like the one in Prince Ning's Mansion the most."
"You girl is really... Hey, by the way, why didn't Chu Li come with you?" Beitang remembered this after hearing the wind.
Hearing Beitang Wenfeng mention Chu Li, Mu Yunjin couldn't help thinking of what Chu Li and Qu Xinyao had said to her before they set off, and suddenly her heart became a little heavy, and she pursed her lips.
"Yunjin, what's wrong?" Seeing Mu Yunjin's mood suddenly changed, Jiang Qingxue gave her a concerned look.
"It's nothing, Chu Li was entangled in some things in Xiyuan Kingdom, and couldn't get away, so he didn't come with me." Mu Yunjin smiled faintly, and glanced at Beitang Wenfeng and Jiang Qingxue from the corner of her eye.
They are in a good mood now, and mentioning their purpose of coming to them at this time seems to dampen their interest, so let's talk slowly first.
…
After lunch, the three of them wandered around in Jiang Qingxue's house. Beitang Wenfeng put his hands behind his back and wanted to say something to Mu Yunjin several times, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.
Mu Yunjin was still walking with her head down. For some reason, when facing Beitang Wenfeng and Jiang Qingxue, she always felt a little embarrassed and awkward.
"Yun Jin, when you were in the Xiyuan Kingdom, your father prepared a hairpin for you, but at that time he didn't have the nerve to give it to you directly. Now I keep the hairpin all the time. Would you like to take a look at it?" ?" Jiang Qingxue said with a smile, her gaze fell on Mu Yunjin's ponytail.
Beitang was a little embarrassed when he heard Jiang Qingxue mention the hairpin.
"Okay, let's take a look." Mu Yunjin nodded in response.
Hearing this, Jiang Qingxue gave a smile to Beitang Wenfeng.
Coming to Jiang Qingxue's room, Mu Yunjin took a look at the layout of the room. The simple style fit Jiang Qingxue.
"Open it and have a look." Jiang Qingxue took out a brocade box and handed it to Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin stretched out her hand to take the brocade box and opened it. After seeing the hairpin in the brocade box, she snorted, her eyes revealed a bit of surprise, she reached out and took out the hairpin inside, and put it in the palm of her hand.
"Don't you like it? The widow said, this hairpin is too dull, but the old thing insists on selling to the widow, and it is said that it is related to the widow." Beitang frowned upon hearing the wind.
Mu Yunjin looked at the hairpin in her hand, it was a black jade hairpin, the body of the hairpin was as black as ink, without any other embellishments, it looked really simple and ordinary.
But the reason she was surprised just now was not because the hairpin was ordinary, but because she was surprised about the origin of the hairpin, "I bought this in Xijinyuan of Diehua City?"
"Yeah, at that time I heard that the shopkeeper was a weird old man, and that he only sold things based on the fate between the buyer and the thing, otherwise even if you took ten thousand taels of gold, you would never be able to exchange a single hair from him. I was curious for a while, so I went to see it. Take a look." Beitang said helplessly when he heard the wind. "No wonder!" The moment Mu Yunjin opened the box just now, the phoenix tail whip on her wrist suddenly tightened a few times, it turned out that it came out of the same place.
When mentioning Xijinyuan, Mu Yunjin seemed to think of something again, and looked at Jiang Qingxue, "The Qingfu in Xinyao City was also sold to me by people from Xijinyuan."
"Speaking of which, what the shopkeeper said is not false, all things are only sold to those who are destined." Mu Yunjin said this to Beitang Wenfeng.
Although I still don't know what the use of this black jade hairpin is, but keeping it is not harmful to me.
"Then let me put it on for you?" Jiang Qingxue couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. Just now, Yun Jin said that Qingfu was sold to her by people from Xijinyuan. Did she admit that there was a relationship between them, and she already recognized her from the bottom of her heart? This girl
"En." Mu Yunjin nodded.
"Let me help you comb your hair again and see how the black jade hairpin works?" When Jiang Qingxue was outside just now, she mentioned the black jade hairpin because she wanted to comb Mu Yunjin's hair with her own hands.
On the day when Mu Yunjin and Ji were married, she spent a whole day staring at a pearl hairpin in Nantingguo. Later, after meeting her, she found out that Yunjin was married to Ning Wang Chuli, and someone else combed Yunjin's hair on the wedding day. At that time, she thought that when she could do her daughter's hair in a bun Enough.
"No need, combing your hair in a bun is so troublesome, and..." Before Mu Yunjin finished speaking, she had already caught the loneliness and regret flashing in Jiang Qingxue's eyes.
Beitang naturally understood what Jiang Qingxue was thinking when he heard the wind, just as he was about to step forward to comfort Jiang Qingxue, he heard Mu Yunjin speak again—
"You'd better comb my hair in a bun. I might go out with Huang Yan and the others later. It doesn't seem appropriate to wear this brocade dress with a ponytail."
Suddenly, Jiang Qingxue's eyes lit up, she pulled Mu Yunjin to sit down in front of the dressing table, and gently helped her remove the ponytail hairband.
Mu Yunjin stared blankly at the bronze mirror, and could clearly see that when Jiang Qingxue combed her hair in a bun, her eyes were red with tears, but the corners of her lips were raised upwards. joy.
"This bead flower is pretty good, please help me put it on later." Mu Yunjin glanced at the jewelry box on Jiang Qingxue's dressing table, casually pointed to a pair of bead flower, and said to Jiang Qingxue.
Jiang Qingxue smiled and nodded in response, eyebrows and eyes curved, "Okay, what else do you like?"
"Put this earring on, too. It matches well with the dress I'm wearing, and I like this peach pink blush, and this..." Mu Yunjin chattered and pointed at a bunch of things that could be put on her body. Set, all counted out.
When Jiang Qingxue was helping Mu Yunjin put on the hairpin, her hands trembled a little, and she felt a sense of relief and lightness in her heart. Her wish for so many years finally came true.
When putting blush on Mu Yunjin's face, Beitang Wenfeng looked at his hands itching, and insisted on fighting half of it with Jiang Qingxue to help Mu Yunjin apply it.
Mu Yunjin sat on the same spot, and Beitang Wenfeng and Jiang Qingxue stood on the left and right respectively. They were concentrating on helping her apply blush, especially Beitang Wenfeng, who stared wide-eyed and frowned, as if Do something particularly complex and difficult.
"The majestic king of a country, help me put on my blush here, and the people here will laugh me to death if I say it." Mu Yunjin teased Beitang in order to let Beitang hear the news.
"Hey, the widow is helping their Princess Jinhua to apply blush. It's too late for them to be envious. How dare they laugh at the widow!" Be an outsider.
After a while, after applying the blush, Beitang Wenfeng took out another box of lip gloss, "Would you like Father to apply it for you?"
"That's not allowed, lip painting and eyebrow painting are Chu Li's prerogatives, which can only be left to him." Mu Yunjin reached out to take the lip gloss box in Beitang Wenfeng's hand, and began to apply it herself.
"Did you see it? His Royal Highness King Ning is Yun Jin's favorite, you, father, have to stand aside." Jiang Qingxue winked at Beitang Wenfeng and scolded him.
While chatting, someone knocked lightly on Jiang Qingxue's door, and Huang Yan's voice came from outside, "Princess, are you there?"
"Here!" Mu Yunjin replied.
"Then you come out first, I have something to tell you." Huang Yan stood at the door and said.
Hearing this, Mu Yunjin sat up, smiled at Beitang Wenfeng and Jiang Qingxue, and pointed outside, "I'll go out and have a look first."
After finishing speaking, Mu Yunjin opened the door and walked out.
Huang Yan was leaning against the wall of the corridor outside, when he caught a glimpse of the 'golden' Mu Yunjin, he was suddenly startled, raised his eyes, and looked her up and down.
"Princess, what are you doing dressed up like this? Don't you think it's cumbersome? And you are blushing like a monkey's butt, and your mouth is painted the color of pig blood..."
Before Huang Yan finished speaking, he felt a murderous aura coming from in front of him, and saw Mu Yunjin staring at him with contempt, "You know what a fart, you should not be able to marry a wife."
"You..." Huang Yan saw that Mu Yunjin exposed his shortcomings, and saw that Mu Yunjin came out of Jiang Qingxue's room, so he immediately understood, changed the subject, and looked at Mu Yunjin obsequiously, "Look at me just now. Talking nonsense, I almost forgot that Beiming Kingdom is our concubine's territory, and no one knows the name of Princess Jinhua, so naturally I have to dress up solemnly and gorgeously... "
"Okay, what do you want from me?" Mu Yunjin frowned, pointed to the front, and signaled Huang Yan to go to a more secluded place.
When asked about the business, Huang Yan immediately suppressed his smile, "I was walking on the street outside for a while this morning, and I found two people. Guess who they are?"
"Who?" Mu Yunjin didn't bother to guess.
"It's Qiuye and Qin Muyue." Huang Yan's face was condensed, "They pretended to be businessmen who came to Beiming Country to do business in the name of father and daughter, and they are currently living in an inn in the city."
"It's just the two of them?" Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Qin Muyue to follow her. She really didn't want to die until Huang He.
Huang Yan curled his lips and shook his head, "They also have a coachman who looks about the same age as Qiu Ye, but it's hard to say whether it's a real coachman or someone else."
"By the way, have you mentioned to Lord Beiming why we came to Beiming?" Huang Yan asked again.
"Not yet, I wanted to talk about it slowly." Mu Yunjin frowned slightly.
Hearing that, Huang Yan also frowned, "Qiuye and the others have already arrived, and the King of Beiming also knows that you are here. Don't let him reveal that Princess Jinhua is in Beiming, otherwise our trip will be in vain."
"Well, then I'll go and talk to them now." Mu Yunjin walked back again, her footsteps hurried, she thought that Qiuye and the others were not so fast, and they could wait a few days to tell Beitang Wenfeng and them, now Really want to kill them by surprise.
Back to Jiang Qingxue's room, Beitang Wenfeng was walking out the door, Mu Yunjin immediately stepped forward when she saw him, "I have something important to tell you!"
