As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion, Mu Yunjin jumped out of the carriage first, and galloped towards Liquan Pavilion, Zixiang followed behind, trotting after Mu Yunjin's footsteps.
Ding Xian, who was outside the carriage, saw this scene and was not surprised. After Chu Li got off the carriage, Ding Xian asked, "Your Highness, Miss Qin is back, can we try that black lotus?"
"Wait a little longer." Chu Li said calmly, and walked towards the mansion.
…
The next day, Mu Yunjin slept until the sun was high, until there was a knock on the door, and Mu Yunjin woke up slowly, looking at the door sleepily.
"Come in."
It was Zixiang who opened the door and came in, "Miss, Xiangye sent someone to send a message to let the lady go back to the mansion for a gathering."
"What did he ask me for?" Mu Yunjin woke up a little at this moment, sat up from the bed, and stretched.
Zixiang shook her head, "It seems that there is something important. I said that Miss must definitely go back."
"Okay then, I'll get up now."
After a while, Mu Yunjin walked out of the room after washing and dressing up. The door of the diagonally opposite room was closed as usual, and one could tell that Chu Li was not in the mansion.
When she walked to the front hall, when Shen Momo saw Mu Yunjin, she smiled and said, "Should the concubine go back after breakfast?"
"Yeah." Mu Yunjin nodded and walked into the dining room.
At this time, the table in the dining hall was filled with steaming breakfast. Mu Yunjin sat down, took a bowl of porridge, and looked at the meal on the big table with some surprise.
"How did you prepare so much today?"
"It's like this. Miss Qin came to the mansion early this morning just after dawn, saying that she wanted to have breakfast with His Highness. Later, for some reason, she wanted to take His Highness out to eat again. It's not a big table. It's a waste." Shen Nai said.
Hearing this, Mu Yunjin curled her lips. In her impression, Chu Li was an unshakable person. Why did Qin Muyue follow his wishes when she came back
Is it true love, or is there some reason being held by others
After thinking about it, Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, and lost her appetite for the meal on this table, she dropped the spoon in her hand, "I don't want to eat, I'll go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to eat."
"Eh? Don't you want to eat?" Shen Momo looked at Mu Yunjin, who was leaving as soon as she said it, in surprise, and then looked at the table of untouched meals, secretly thinking that it was a pity.
These little ancestors who don't have to worry about food and clothing.
…
Mu Yunjin deliberately chose to walk back. The Sixth Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are only two streets away. Although it is faster to take a carriage, it will not be too late to get there on foot.
On the way, Mu Yunjin bought two steamed buns and ate them while walking.
Zixiang walked aside, but she was a little puzzled, "Miss, you didn't eat at such a big table just now, why did you come here to eat the food on the side of the road?"
"I don't want to eat." Mu Yunjin said.
"Miss, this servant feels that you are not happy to hear that His Highness and Miss Qin went out to eat, right?" Zixiang covered her mouth and smiled.
When Mu Yunjin heard this, she turned her head and stared at Zixiang, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense."
"You know, Chu Liben and I are not husband and wife. Sooner or later, we will break up. Now that Qin Muyue is back, no matter how Chu Li treats her, it has nothing to do with me. If Chu Li arrives When I really want to marry Qin Muyue, then I will retreat completely, take the 30,000 taels of gold I have saved, and go by myself."
Zixiang's small face was wrinkled, Mu Yunjin's words made her hard to accept, but she had to face this reality.
It is true that the young lady and the sixth prince are only in the name of husband and wife, but not in reality, but if the position of the sixth prince and concubine is given to Miss Qin for nothing, it will always feel uncomfortable.
"Miss, how can you be chic on your own, the servants will follow you to death." Zixiang sorted out her emotions and looked at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin chuckled, reached out and pinched Zixiang's face, "Then you're not married anymore?"
"If you don't marry, the servant will serve the young lady for the rest of her life."
"You stupid girl..."
While talking and laughing, the two came to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the butler saw Mu Yunjin's figure, he hurried up to greet her. After saluting Mu Yunjin, he said, "Master is waiting for the sixth prince and concubine in the front hall."
Mu Yunjin nodded and stepped into the door.
As soon as he entered the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw Mu Xiang and Luo Ningyu sitting in the main seats, with Mu Lingzhu, Mu Xiarou and Zhuang Yuyan sitting on the two sides respectively.
Watching the battle, Mu Yunjin slightly raised her eyebrows, entered the door and greeted Mu Xiang, "Father."
Seeing Mu Yunjin's figure, a smile appeared on Mu Xiang's tense face, and he pointed to the vacant seat on the right, "Yunjin, sit down first."
After Mu Yunjin sat down, she glanced at the people in the front hall, and then her eyes fell on Mu Xiang, "Father asked me today, is there something urgent?"
Mu Xiang sighed, frowned, glanced at Mu Lingzhu at the side, and then at Mu Yunjin, "Zhu'er blindfolded and wrote at the banquet last night, and she made a big splash at the banquet. Today, when I went to court, I met the emperor's own younger brother, the current Prince Rong."
"He met me politely, then mentioned Zhu'er, praised Zhu'er, and hinted something to me."
Mu Yunjin took advantage of her eyes and thought about what Mu Xiang said. The current emperor is over fifty, and the sons are almost in their double ten years. How come the emperor's younger brother is in his forties
After thinking about it, Mu Yunjin glanced sideways at Mu Lingzhu, and saw that she was hanging her head, her eyes were red, and she obviously cried.
Could it be that what King Rong hinted at...
"Prince Rong wants to marry Fourth Sister?" Mu Yunjin raised the question in her heart.
After asking this question, Mu Xiang's expression became more serious, and he nodded lightly, "That's what he meant. He intends to marry Zhu'er as his side concubine."
"Yunjin, is there any way for you to get the sixth prince to stop this matter? King Rong is already forty-five years old this year, and the two children he had with Princess Narong are about to reach the crown and hairpin. Zhu'er is about the same age as them. Being able to marry in the past will be ruined by that Rong Wang for nothing!"
When Mu Xiang said he was excited, he coughed a few times and let out a sigh of relief.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, and suddenly thought of that day when Chu Qingqiang was about to ask the emperor to marry Mu Yunhan, Mu Yunhan released the news that he was going to marry Zhuang Yuyan.
Can't help but said, "What if you marry the fourth sister before King Rong speaks out?"
Mu Xiang shook his head, "King Rong has been prepared for a long time and has privately released the news that he wants to marry Zhu'er. Now who dares to risk offending King Rong to marry Zhu'er!"
Seeing that King Rong was so fully prepared, Mu Yunjin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, not knowing what to say for a while.
I really didn't expect that Mu Lingzhu's meticulously prepared talent last night did not attract the princes and nobles, but instead caused trouble.
The side concubine of King Rong, although it sounds pretty good, but if someone like Mu Lingzhu, who is so proud and arrogant, wants to call someone the same age as King Rong's father, she wants to be called Husband, wouldn't she want crazy.
"Sister, please help me, I don't want to marry into Prince Rong's mansion, you go and beg the sixth prince, he must have a way to persuade King Rong."
Mu Lingzhu cried out suddenly, and fell to her knees in front of Mu Yunjin with a plop, crying like pear blossoms with rain.
Mu Yunjin bit her lip, remembering what Mu Lingzhu did in the past, she didn't want to help Mu Lingzhu in her heart, but it was too much for a young girl to marry someone who could be a father.
"I… "
"Lord Rong is here!"
When Mu Yunjin was about to tell Chu Li to help, there was a sound of notification outside the door, and then one after another came in, carrying boxes of things to the front hall of the prime minister's mansion. come here.
After the room was filled with things, a middle-aged man in a gray brocade suit came in. He was tall and well-groomed, but there were already wrinkles around the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, showing signs of time.
"I pay my respects to Lord Rong." Mu Xiang shivered, and after seeing the people who came suddenly in the room and the room full of things, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Hahahaha, you don't need to be courteous, Mr. Ben is here to give the betrothal gift." King Rong Chu frame said with a smile, his eyes swept over everyone in the front hall one by one.
Seeing this, the rest of the people immediately bowed to Chu frame.
When Chu Jia caught sight of Mu Yunjin, he touched his head and laughed a few times, "Little niece, are you here too?"
Hearing Chu Jia's greeting, Mu Yunjin was a little embarrassed, but she still twitched her lips and looked at Chu Jia, "Hello, Uncle Wang."
"Well, you're good." Chu frame nodded in satisfaction, turned his gaze around, and finally landed on Mu Lingzhu, so he smiled and walked towards Mu Lingzhu.
Seeing King Rong approaching, Mu Lingzhu was so frightened that she didn't dare to lift her head, and stood there, trembling.
"Miss Mu Si, take a look at the betrothal gifts, have you prepared enough? If not, you can bring it up casually, and I will order someone to prepare it."
After finishing speaking, King Rong stretched out his hand and gently stroked Mu Lingzhu's cheek, "Hey, why are you shaking so much? Are you afraid of me?"
"Actually, this king has admired Fourth Miss Mu for a long time. It's really rare to see a talented woman like Fourth Miss Mu in the world, especially the blindfolded writing last night. It's really wonderful!"
"You have entered Rong Wang's mansion. Although you are a side concubine, no one will dare to bully you. The main concubine of this king has been ill for a long time half a year ago. Now there is a lack of a mistress in charge of the mansion. You are sensible. , and talented, to be the hostess is the most suitable."
The people in the front hall saw King Rong's excited words, no one dared to interrupt, at least he was the emperor's younger brother, so he had to obediently listen to whatever he said at the moment.
Looking at this scene, Mu Yunjin sighed secretly, no one really can help Mu Lingzhu this time.
Mu Xiang lowered his eyes, although his eyes were full of embarrassment, but he also knew that today's unlucky incident was paralyzed on his own head.
I don't know what rumors will come from Diehua City tomorrow.
At this moment, Mu Lingzhu was biting her lips tightly, and her peripheral vision fell on the dowry gifts all over the room, her mind was constantly wandering, analyzing the situation in front of her.
Chu Li, whom she adored with all her heart, is now married to Mu Yunjin, and beside her is Qin Muyue, who is the sixth prince and concubine, no matter what, it will not be her turn.
The death of her mother caused her to ruin a lot of reputation. If the noble sons of Diehua City really wanted to marry her, they would have come to marry her long ago.
Since it's all about marrying anyway, it's better to marry this Rong Wangye. At that time, she might be Rong Wangfei. With her status, she can still overwhelm Mu Yunjin.
As long as she has the identity of Concubine Rong, with King Rong supporting her, I believe she will be able to avenge her mother's beheading, and also avenge Mu Yunjin for taking her sixth concubine position!
"Father, my daughter is willing to marry Lord Rong."
