Three days later, Mu Yunhan's wedding day.
Mu Yunjin got up early, and Zixiang specially combed her hair into a more dignified bun, with her black hair coiled up in a grand and elegant way.
After getting dressed, Mu Yunjin asked Zixiang to bring the congratulatory gifts she had prepared, and then left the bedroom door.
As soon as he went out, he saw Ding Xian standing in front of Chu Li's room door.
Mu Yunjin glanced at Ding Xian, and had just walked a few steps towards the gate of Liquan Pavilion, when she saw the door diagonally opposite opened, and she was dressed in purple clothes, with a jade crown tied on her head, elegant and luxurious.
"Where are you going?" Chu Li raised his eyes to catch a glimpse of Mu Yunjin, and said lightly.
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, "My brother is getting married today, and I'm going to the Prime Minister's residence."
"What about you?" Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li and added the question.
Chu Li twitched the corners of his mouth, "At the invitation of Taifu Zhuang, I went to the Zhuang Mansion for a banquet."
"That's it, what a coincidence, we are attending the same happy event, so I'll go first." Mu Yunjin smiled, and then left the Liquan Pavilion with Zixiang.
Behind him, Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin's back, and shook his head with a smile.
Ding Xian stood watching from the side, and raised a smile, "Your Highness is really caring about the prince and concubine now."
"Now that she is married into the mansion, there are many more eyes staring at her from behind. The nominal prince's person, I still have to guarantee her consideration." Chu Lihan said in a cold voice.
Ding Xian nodded knowingly, but still couldn't help laughing teasingly, "It's the first time I heard His Highness say such a long series of words..."
…
When Mu Yunjin came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a lot of joy in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, many guests had already been seated inside, and the whole Prime Minister's Mansion was full of laughter.
As soon as Mu Yunjin entered the door, she saw Mu Xiang and Luo Ningyu greeting all the guests with smiles on their faces.
As soon as they saw Mu Yunjin, Mu Xiang and Luo Ningyu walked over and stroked Mu Yunjin, "I pay my respects to the sixth prince and concubine."
"Father and Sanniang don't need to be too polite. Today, when my daughter returns home to attend her brother's wedding banquet, she doesn't have to treat me as some sixth concubine." Mu Yunjin said politely.
Mu Xiang and Luo Ningyu nodded.
After seeing Mu Yunjin coming, a few ministers came over and said to Mu Xiang with a smile, "There are a lot of happy events in the Prime Minister's residence recently, and the old ministers congratulate the Prime Minister."
"Master Li, please be polite, your little girl is about to reach her age, so remember to ask me to ask for a wedding wine when the time comes." Mu Xiang said.
"What Xiangye said, the old minister is naturally the first to invite Xiangye."
After several ministers exchanged pleasantries, there were several lively shouts from the direction of the back garden. Mu Yunjin looked up, and saw Mu Yunhan, a bridegroom in red, came out from inside.
Seeing Mu Yunjin arrived, Mu Yunhan smiled in his eyes, walked over, looked down at Mu Yunjin, "Yunjin is here."
"Yeah, are you going to greet the bride?" Mu Yunjin looked Mu Yunhan up and down.
Mu Yunhan nodded, and when he wanted to say a few words to Mu Yunjin, laughter came from the side, "Okay, the auspicious time has come, and it's time to go out to greet the relatives."
After saying that, Mu Yunhan walked out the door surrounded by a crowd.
Looking at this scene, Mu Yunjin curled her lips slightly, and couldn't help remembering that when she married Chu Li, she came to the door by herself.
But fortunately, in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Chu Li didn't embarrass her, so he could bear it.
After Mu Yunhan set off to welcome the bride, the Prime Minister's Mansion became a little quieter.
"Ah, the third sister is back." Mu Xiarou's joyful laughter came from the side.
Mu Yunjin followed the sound and saw Mu Xiarou, who was dressed in pink today, looked pretty, walked up to her, and caressed her slightly.
Behind Mu Xiarou, Mu Lingzhu also slowly came out from the back garden, and when she saw Mu Yunjin in the front hall, she paused.
After that, she walked slowly in front of Mu Yunjin, bowed to Mu Yunjin and saluted, "Meet the sixth prince and concubine."
"Excuse me." Mu Yunjin said softly.
"Thank you Sixth Prince and Concubine." Mu Lingzhu thanked her, then raised her eyes to meet Mu Yunjin's gaze, "You and my fellow sisters, my brother is getting married today, how about I call you sister?"
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips when she heard this, "It seems that my sister has really restrained her temper a lot in the past few months."
"That's right, it's all thanks to my sister." Mu Lingzhu pursed her lips, then glanced at Mu Yunjin's side, "Why is it that only my sister came here? Didn't the sixth prince accompany her?"
"You still miss my husband." Mu Yunjin deliberately emphasized the word "husband".
Mu Lingzhu's face turned pale, and then she immediately added a smile, "Sister, I was joking, now the sixth prince is Lingzhu's brother-in-law, and Lingzhu is just asking casually."
"He went to the Zhuang Mansion for a banquet." Mu Yunjin found a chair and sat down, poured a cup of tea for herself, and took a light sip.
Mu Xiarou looked at this scene, although she was young, she had a clear view of the situation in front of her.
In the past in this mansion, one of the two elder sisters was regarded as the apple of the eye and held firmly in the palm of the hand. The one who was regarded as a disgrace to the Mu family was trampled underfoot.
Now, in just a few months, earth-shaking changes have taken place.
Look at the third sister who is sitting on a chair and drinking tea leisurely now, she still has the half cowardly look of the past.
The Fourth Sister, who behaves decently and generously, is submissive now, depending on the face of the Third Sister.
"Third Sister, let's have some snacks." Mu Xiarou took a plate of delicate snacks from the side and handed them to the table next to Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin smiled at Mu Xiarou, "Thank you Fifth Sister."
After finishing the words, he picked up a piece of pastry and ate it slowly.
About an hour later, firecrackers sounded outside the door, and the guests all ran towards the door.
Guessing that it was Mu Yunhan who had returned, Mu Yunjin couldn't help but also sat up, curious about what the Miss Zhuang Jia looked like.
After a while, Mu Yunhan walked into the front hall with Zhuang Yuyan in his arms.
Looking at this scene, Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows slightly.
…
After the ceremony was completed, Mu Yunhan hugged Zhuang Yuyan again and walked to the back garden. The guests present were all arranged at the banquet table.
Mu Yunjin, Mu Xiarou and others were arranged in the main seat, while Mu Xiang and Luo Ningyu were busy greeting the guests and had no time to take care of this side.
Mu Lingzhu also sat down, lowered her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and said softly for a while, "Sister, can my sister ask you for a favor?"
"What's the matter?" Mu Yunjin raised her eyelids.
Mu Lingzhu bit her lip, "Since my mother's accident, some literature museums I frequented have removed me from my name, and I'm not allowed to take another step."
"I begged my father many times, but he didn't want to stand up for me because of this matter, so I think my sister is now the sixth concubine, and those curators should sell your face."
When she heard that she was on the side with talent and learning again, Mu Yunjin smiled mockingly, "There is nothing I can do to help."
Seeing that Mu Yunjin directly rejected her, a strange look flashed in Mu Lingzhu's eyes, and then she gave a wry smile and stopped talking.
…
In the afternoon, after the banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Yunjin bid farewell and went back to the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
On the way back, Mu Yunjin didn't take the carriage, but just wandered around the street leisurely, "Zixiang, what do you think of Mu Lingzhu today?"
Mu Yunjin suddenly spoke.
Zixiang paused, and frowned, "Miss Si has indeed restrained her temperament a lot, and she is also very humble towards Miss, but the servants always feel that there is something strange, but they can't tell."
"So you feel the same way." Mu Yunjin smiled lightly.
"The servant is dull, I dare not think about it." Zixiang said.
When she returned to the mansion, Nanny Shen was sitting in the garden embroidering on a piece of brocade handkerchief. She caught a glimpse of Mu Yunjin from the corner of her eye and immediately stood up.
"The imperial concubine has come back so early." Mother Shen said.
Mu Yunjin smiled and nodded.
"This Highness also went out early in the morning, and I don't know when he will be back. In the past, His Highness never bothered to go to such wedding banquets of princes and ministers."
"But Taifu Zhuang happens to be His Highness's teacher, and he is deeply respected by His Highness. His Highness never brushes off his face," Shen Nanny said.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
"By the way, it's almost the seventh day of the lunar new year. Are you ready for your congratulatory gift?" Aunt Shen thought about it and asked immediately.
When mentioning the congratulatory gift, Mu Yunjin slapped her head. In the past two days, she had forgotten about it.
Seeing that Mu Yunjin was not ready yet, Mother Shen sighed, "Prince Concubine, you and Your Highness are newly married, this birthday gift must not be neglected."
"I see, I'll go back and prepare." Mu Yunjin said.
After saying that, Mu Yunjin walked towards Liquan Pavilion.
Back at Liquan Pavilion, Mu Yunjin simply sat down in front of the stone table in the yard, propped her head up, and tilted her head, thinking about all kinds of congratulatory gifts.
"Miss, Shen Nai said that day, you must be sincere, I think you might as well embroider a pouch for the sixth prince?" Zi Xiang spoke while standing aside.
When she heard the purse, Mu Yunjin frowned, and immediately waved her hand to refuse, "That thing is too complicated, it is definitely not suitable for me."
"The servant girl has no idea anymore. The servant girl has heard in the past that gifts from daughter's family are usually hand-embroidered purses." Zixiang curled her lips.
Mu Yunjin heard the words, and in Zixiang's words, she caught the word "hands-on".
Yes, things made by herself are more sincere, but now, what can she do for Chu Li with her own hands
Mu Yunjin raised her eyelids slightly, and when her eyes touched the rows of lanterns in front of the house, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately had an idea in her mind.
"Zixiang, go ask me to prepare some carrots on the sixth day of the lunar new year."
Zixiang was taken aback for a moment, although she didn't understand what Mu Yunjin meant, she still nodded.
While the master and servant were chatting, a purple figure walked into the Liquan Pavilion, caught a glimpse of Mu Yunjin sitting in front of the stone table, and pursed his lips slightly.
Ding Xian also came back with Chu Li, and was the first to speak, "The princess is back so early?"
"Well, a little earlier than you guys." Mu Yunjin said.
Ding Xian smiled, then gave Zixiang a wink behind Mu Yunjin, Zixiang immediately understood, and followed Ding Xian out.
In the Liquan Pavilion, Chu Li and Mu Yunjin were left.
"You go to Shuiyun Temple with my prince tonight." Chu Li approached Mu Yunjin and said lightly.
When she heard that it was Shuiyun Temple again, Mu Yunjin frowned slightly, she was completely unwilling to go there, "What are you going there for?"
"Work." Chu Li said.
Mu Yunjin slightly raised her eyebrows, "Why did you choose to go at night?"
