Zhuang Yuyan smiled and nodded, expressing her agreement with Mu Yunjin's words, "Yeah, not to mention that you and I are already wives now, so we shouldn't do such a publicity thing. According to our natal family, that is the same official position as that of the General's Mansion." Yes, not under them."
"Since we are of the same generation, how can we condescend us to show our talents to Miss Qin? It is against the rules both emotionally and rationally."
After Zhuang Yuyan finished speaking, she looked at Mu Yunjin with some embarrassment, "But the young master and miss of the Qin family have won so many battles this time, and they are really in the limelight. If we shirk, will it offend the empress? Happy?"
Mu Yunjin smiled at Zhuang Yuyan, and took a bite of vegetables into her bowl, "Sister Yuyan, don't worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and no one can force us to do things we don't want to do."
Seeing the determination on Mu Yunjin's face, Zhuang Yuyan nodded subconsciously, and couldn't help but relax.
…
Chu Li didn't return to the mansion until evening.
Mu Yunjin sat on the stone table in Liquan Pavilion waiting for Chu Li all afternoon. When she saw Chu Li entering the door, she immediately got up and called Chu Li.
"Hey, Chu Li!" Mu Yunjin blurted out without realizing the inappropriateness of the words.
Chu Li's footsteps paused, and when he heard Mu Yunjin's voice, his brows frowned slightly, but he still responded casually, "Yes."
"I have something to tell you." Mu Yunjin approached Chu Li, lowering her eyes slightly, showing a look of asking for help.
"Hmm." Another hum.
"The empress sent an oral order that at the celebration banquet of the two of the Qin family, let the female relatives of the palaces and the officials' daughters perform their talents..."
"You don't have to participate." Mu Yunjin was interrupted by Chu Li after speaking halfway.
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Li, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Chu Li said, and walked back to the room.
Mu Yunjin stood at the same place, looked at Chu Li's back as he walked away slowly, and could see that Chu Li was not in a good mood at the moment, but with his assurance, she was relieved.
As for Sister Yuyan, I heard that Mrs. Zhuang is a very stubborn person, so I think she would not agree with Sister Yuyan's performance.
…
In the next few days, with Chu Li's words as a guarantee, Mu Yunjin didn't worry about performing talents at all, and stayed in the mansion every day, eating, sleeping and sleeping, very comfortable.
"Miss, you have been in the mansion for ten days, don't you want to go out for a walk?" Zixiang walked into Mu Yunjin's room and put the newly washed clothes into Mu Yunjin's closet.
Mu Yunjin leaned back on the rocking chair, and after hearing what Zixiang said, she realized that she hadn't left the house for another ten days.
"It's hot, I don't want to go out to bask in the sun." Mu Yunjin said lazily.
Zixiang smiled, "But you always stay in the mansion, doesn't Miss feel a little bored?"
"You girl, could it be that you wanted to go out to play, so you encouraged me to go out?" Mu Yunjin reacted and teased Zixiang.
Zixiang blushed a little, lowered her eyes and smiled, "How dare a servant girl."
"Okay, okay, it's cloudy today, so I'll take you out for a walk." Mu Yunjin finished speaking and sat up.
"Yes, the servant girl combs the lady's hair."
After a while, the master and servant walked out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
Walking on the street, Mu Yunjin found that there were a lot of people on the street today, a market road was almost full of people.
Seeing this scene, Mu Yunjin frowned slightly, and wanted to find a teahouse to rest. When she walked downstairs of the teahouse, she found that the lobby on the first floor was full of people, and the window sills of the elegant rooms on the second floor were also full of people at this time. people.
Just as she was about to ask Zixiang what day it is today, she approached two women, holding hands and chatting with a smile, "Major General Qin and Miss Qin's army is almost at the gate of the city, and they are about to enter the city!"
"Yes, yes, just thinking about it makes me a little excited. Today, everyone came out to welcome Major General Qin and Miss Qin."
"Look, here it comes!"
When Mu Yunjin heard the conversation between the two, she narrowed her eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
It turned out that the people from the Qin family had returned.
When I looked in the direction of one side, I saw that the people who were walking in the middle of the road had already moved to the side of the road, and in the middle of the road, there was a large group of people walking step by step towards the direction of the palace. .
As the people approached slowly, the common people on the street knelt down one after another and shouted, "Congratulations to Major General Qin, and Miss Qin's triumphant return!"
Mu Yunjin folded her arms and looked at the scene. Almost all the people on the street knelt down. Standing so straight by the side of the road now seemed extraordinarily abrupt.
The people standing beside Mu Yunjin originally wanted to pull her to kneel down together, but after taking a closer look at Mu Yunjin's face, they immediately became a little frightened, their heads hung down, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
The army gradually approached. The leader on the horse, who was presumably a lieutenant-level figure, had a serious face at the moment and walked in the front, followed by a few rows of soldiers, also expressionless.
Behind the soldiers, an exquisite carriage was slowly following, and behind the carriage was another long line of troops.
Mu Yunjin's eyes were completely focused on the carriage, watching the carriage slowly pass by, feeling a little complicated in her heart.
As the carriage walked away, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the street that was originally crowded with people became empty.
"Miss, shall we still go shopping?" Zixiang asked cautiously, and glanced at Mu Yunjin, who was looking bad at the moment.
"Why don't you go shopping?" Mu Yunjin slightly curled her lips, turned around and entered a rouge shop.
As soon as she entered the rouge shop, Mu Yunjin saw another acquaintance.
"Meet the Sixth Prince and Concubine." Yan Lingshang was picking out rouge with her maid, and when she saw Mu Yunjin who entered the door, she gently stroked her body.
Mu Yunjin nodded slightly, because she didn't have a good impression of Yan Lingshang last time, so she didn't want to pay more attention to Yan Lingshang.
Yan Lingshang didn't take it seriously, and walked to Mu Yunjin's side, "Sixth Prince, this is the new peach pink rouge here, with a faint fragrance of peach blossoms."
Saying that, Yan Lingshang picked up a can of peach-flavored rouge and handed it to Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin didn't intend to pick it up, and picked up another rouge beside her, "This one is good, I don't like scented ones."
Yan Lingshang's face froze, and then she smiled awkwardly, "Is the Sixth Prince's concubine also here to choose the rouge for the performance? I just chose a peony red one, and I plan to use it when performing talents."
"I don't perform." Mu Yunjin replied quietly, took five or six boxes of rouge that looked pleasing to the eye, and asked Zixiang to take it to the boss to pay the bill.
"Oh? No show? But didn't the empress say that she had to have any excuses to shirk?" Yan Lingshang was a little surprised. After knowing the queen's oral order, she was still a little bit secretly happy, but she wanted to see Mu Yun. Hibiscus is an idiot, what kind of talent can he show.
Now she actually said no to acting
"Miss Yan talks a lot today." Mu Yunjin glanced at Yan Lingshang. At this time, Zixiang had settled the bill, and the master and servant left the rouge shop one after the other.
Yan Lingshang's face turned pale, she stared at Mu Yunjin's back, bit her lips and cursed, "What are you dragging, Miss Qin is back, let's see how long you can be the sixth concubine!"
Mu Yunjin, who had just walked not far, naturally heard Yan Lingshang's murmur, and couldn't help smiling, "Everyone says this, but I'm starting to wonder, can this Qin Muyue be a The sixth prince and concubine."
"Miss..." Zixiang was speechless, with a flat face.
…
After five days in a row, Mu Yunjin never saw Chu Li, and according to Nanny Shen, Chu Li was admitted to the palace by the emperor every day.
"Miss, you are about to enter the palace to attend the celebration banquet, which one do you want to wear?"
In the bedroom, Zixiang walked up to Mu Yunjin holding a lavender brocade skirt and a clear water green gauze skirt.
"I want that one." Mu Yunjin pointed to a plain blue light shirt hanging in the closet and said.
"Miss, that one is too plain, it's fine for normal wear, but it's not suitable for going to a banquet, right?" Zi Xiang said with a wrinkled face.
Mu Yunjin smiled lightly, "Is there anything inappropriate, I'm not the protagonist of the banquet, so it's fine for Miss Qin to dress beautifully."
Zixiang felt a little helpless when she heard this, but she had no choice but to obediently put down the two clothes in her hand, went to the closet and took out the plain blue dress.
When combing her bun, Mu Yunjin also asked Zixiang to help her comb a simple and light bun, so under Mu Yunjin's instructions, Zixiang helped Mu Yunjin insert only one hairpin and wear a bun. A small pearl flower.
After dressing up, Mu Yunjin walked out of the room, looked at the closed door opposite, pursed her lips, "Chu Li is not in the mansion?"
Zi Xiang nodded, "Yes, but the carriage in the mansion has been prepared, and the hour is almost here, Miss can go out."
Mu Yunjin hummed.
When the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, it happened to bump into the carriage of the Prime Minister's mansion, and Mu Xiang, Mu Yunhan and others were getting off the carriage.
"I have met the sixth prince and concubine." When Mu Xiang saw Mu Yunjin, he saluted Mu Yunjin.
On the side, Mu Xiarou and Mu Lingzhu, who had just got off the carriage, also followed their father and saluted Mu Yunjin.
"Father doesn't need to be too polite."
Mu Yunjin opened her mouth slightly, and her eyes fell from Mu Lingzhu who was on the side.
"Sister Yunjin, why are you dressed so elegantly today?" Zhuang Yuyan was a little puzzled when she saw Mu Yunjin's outfit.
"Convenience." The corners of Mu Yunjin's lips curved slightly.
Zhuang Yuyan didn't quite understand what Mu Yunjin meant, but she still nodded, looked behind Mu Yunjin, saw that she came alone, and took her arm and said with a smile, "Let's go in together."
With Zhuang Yuyan's company, Mu Yunjin felt that being alone was not so weird.
"Yun Jin, I heard that you don't need to show your talents?" Mu Yunhan walked on the other side, looking down at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin nodded, "Yes, Chu Li agreed."
Seeing Mu Yunjin blurt out Chu Li's name, the expressions of Mu Xiang and Mu Lingzhu who were walking behind changed slightly, their eyes revealing surprise.
Mu Lingzhu bit her lip, looking at the smiling person in front of her, her eyes were filled with jealousy.
It was Mu Yunjin, that bitch, who caused her misfortune. If she hadn't killed her mother, she wouldn't be here until now, and no one would come to propose marriage.
She is the most talented woman in the Xiyuan Kingdom, and those who want to marry her should line up to come to her door, unlike now, she has become a joke in the rich circle.
Fortunately, today she has to perform a talent show, she believes that she will definitely seize this opportunity!
Hmph, Mu Yunjin, the future is long, let's wait and see!
