For three days in a row, Mu Yunjin stayed in her bedroom without going out, and Zixiang helped her bring the meals into the room.
"Miss, the doctor said that you don't need to take medicine from now on." Zixiang walked in and put the hot food on the table.
Hearing this sentence, Mu Yunjin was inexplicably relieved, thinking of the bitter and unpalatable medicinal soup, she curled her lips slightly.
Leaning against the head of the bed, Mu Yunjin glanced at Zixiang, "By the way, you said that day that the emperor rewarded me with many things, where are those things?"
"Those things are all in the warehouse in the mansion." Zixiang said.
"What? The warehouse?" Mu Yunjin frowned, and she was about to get out of bed, "No, no, I have to take all those things back, and find a suitable time to pawn them for some money."
When Zixiang heard this, she immediately approached and grabbed Mu Yunjin, "Is it true? Miss, is that why you don't want to stay here?"
"I always have to make some preparations for my future life, don't I?" Mu Yunjin sighed slightly.
"Miss, although you are wholeheartedly planning for the future, this servant feels that it is not impossible for you and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." Zixiang murmured secretly.
Mu Yunjin reached out and poked Zixiang's head, "You girl, what are you thinking?"
"Miss..." Zixiang looked at Mu Yunjin aggrievedly, "I think everything is possible, not to mention that the sixth prince really treats you very well."
"..."
Mu Yunjin was speechless, and did not continue this topic with Zixiang, and fell asleep again after a few mouthfuls of food.
When I woke up again, it was already evening.
Mu Yunjin sat on the bed, stretched her waist, put on her shoes, and walked towards the door.
The moment the door was pushed open, the door to the room diagonally opposite also opened at the same time. Mu Yunjin heard the sound, and when she looked up, she saw a purple figure walking out of it.
With a sound of "bang—", Mu Yunjin immediately closed the door, leaning her back against the door. She almost didn't even see Chu Li's face clearly just now, so she closed the door subconsciously.
After closing the door, Mu Yunjin bit her lip tightly, even being speechless to herself.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on the door behind him, and then Chu Li's faint voice came from outside, "Mu Yunjin, what are you hiding?"
"Squeak—"
Mu Yunjin opened the door, with a sullen face, looked at Chu Li who was standing at the door, and said displeasedly, "Who is hiding from you?"
"Heh..." Chu Li lowered his eyes and let out a low laugh, "If you have the strength to fight back, it looks like it's almost all right."
"It's just a small wind and cold, and it's not a serious injury." Mu Yunjin snorted.
Chu Li smiled faintly and glanced at Mu Yunjin, "Tomorrow King Rong will get married, have you prepared the congratulatory gift?"
"Congratulatory gift?" Mu Yunjin was startled, then glanced sharply, "Why do you want me to prepare a congratulatory gift?"
"As the hostess of the prince's mansion, should I have to worry about these things?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows, staring at Mu Yunjin coldly.
When Mu Yunjin heard this, Wang Tian rolled her eyes, "Don't you have a storehouse in your mansion? You can just pick one, anyway, it's just marrying a side concubine, so it doesn't take such a big fight."
"You can figure it out." Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin, and when he was about to leave, he paused and turned around, "Tomorrow you don't have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you will go to the Rong Wang Mansion with the prince."
"En." Mu Yunjin nodded.
After Chu Li left, Mu Yunjin leaned against the door with her arms folded, watching the sunset gradually sinking from the sky, and sighed deeply.
…
Early the next morning, Mu Yunjin was woken up by Zixiang, and got up to dress up.
"Cough cough cough."
In front of the dressing table, Mu Yunjin began to cough, and looked at the high bun in the mirror, although she was reluctant in every possible way, but on this occasion, she couldn't be too casual.
"Miss Si is going to marry the Prince Rong's mansion. I heard that Prince Rong spent a lot of ostentation in marrying her. He not only came to the door to marry her in person, but also sent a big sedan chair carried by sixteen people to marry Miss Fourth in a grand manner." Zi Xiang helped Mu Yun Jin put on the last jade hairpin and opened her mouth slightly.
When Mu Yunjin heard about it, she didn't take it seriously, "Prince Rong is almost twenty years older than Mu Lingzhu, and there is a princess from the Qin family in the residence of Prince Rong. Her life may not be better than that of the Xiangfu when she marries into Prince Rong's residence."
"That's what she deserves, who made her treat Miss like this in the past, and now she is getting retribution." Zixiang spat.
Mu Yunjin pinched Zixiang's face and smiled.
After dressing up, Mu Yunjin walked out of the door. Outside the door, Chu Li was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard of Liquan Pavilion, as if waiting for Mu Yunjin.
After catching a glimpse of Mu Yunjin who was wearing brocade clothes and combing a woman's hair bun, Chu Li frowned slightly, as if it felt... not very pleasing to the eye.
"Isn't it good-looking?" Seeing Chu Li frowning, Mu Yunjin looked down at herself, and fiddled with the hairpin on her bun again.
Chu Li's face was pale. After Mu Yunjin finished asking, she sat up, took a few steps closer, and then slowly stretched out her hand to pull out a hairpin from her bun.
The hairpin got out of the bun, and the bun that was originally tied fell down in an instant, and the black hair fell down on the shoulders, and it was a little messy in an instant.
"Chu Li, what are you doing!" Mu Yunjin was a little upset, and stared at Chu Li.
"It was so ugly just now." Chu Li frowned, and said with a little disgust.
Mu Yunjin was startled, and reached out to touch the hair that was hanging down at this time, and the inexplicable anger was suppressed by Chu Li's words.
"Zixiang, help me re-cut my hair." Mu Yunjin curled her lips and sat down.
Zixiang understood immediately, walked to Mu Yunjin's side, helped Mu Yunjin comb her usual bun, and finally put a simple butterfly hairpin on her.
"Miss, it's all right."
Mu Yunjin nodded, and subconsciously looked at Chu Li again.
"Let's go." Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin, said coolly, and then walked towards the front hall.
Mu Yunjin immediately got up and followed, without that thick bun, she felt much lighter at this moment.
…
Mu Yunjin coughed from time to time in the carriage, and every time she coughed, Mu Yunjin took out the candied fruit she carried with her and took a bite to moisten her throat.
"Prince Rong lives outside the city?" Mu Yunjin lifted the curtain, looked at the street scene outside, and seemed to be gradually heading out of the city.
"En." Chu Li responded.
Mu Yunjin put down the curtain, a faint smile curled up on the corner of her lips, "I live outside the city, if something happens, it's really not going to work, it's not working."
"Cough cough cough." After finishing speaking, Mu Yunjin coughed a few more times.
After coughing, Mu Yunjin stretched out her hand to caress her heart, cursed inwardly, it's bad luck, jumping into a lake to save someone is obviously a good thing, why did she torment herself like this.
After thinking about it, I have to sigh, the physique of this body is really bad.
Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin from the corner of his eye, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
After the carriage drove for a while, Mu Yunjin gradually heard the bustling noise of people and bursts of firecrackers, and guessed that the Palace of Rong Wang had arrived.
After getting off the carriage, Mu Yunjin stood beside Chu Li side by side, looked at the large plaque of Rongwang Mansion in front of her, and sighed that this Rongwang is also a luxurious and proud man.
Following Chu Li into the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion, many officials and merchants who came along the way saluted the two of them. When they came to the front hall, Mu Yunjin saw the old general Qin and a dignified man dressed in red and embroidered flowers. The woman in the skirt took the main seat.
After seeing Chu Li and Mu Yunjin, Old General Qin nodded his head slightly as a greeting.
"Worshiping heaven and earth today, is Old General Qin attending as an elder?" Mu Yunjin approached Chu Li and asked.
Chu Li nodded.
"Is the woman next to her the same as Princess Rong?" Mu Yunjin asked again.
Chu Li still nodded.
"Why did the sixth brother and the sixth younger brother and sister whisper when they came here?" A joking voice came from one side.
Mu Yunjin didn't even turn her head. Hearing this voice, she knew it was that annoying guy Chu Qing again.
Chu Qing was not surprised by Mu Yunjin's attitude, and said with a smile, "There are so many happy events in the Xiangfu recently, one after another, the six younger siblings really made a good start."
"Third prince, are you free?" Mu Yunjin tilted her head and glanced clearly, not hiding the disgust in her eyes at all.
Chu Qing sneered, looked at Mu Yunjin, and then at Chu Li, "Hahaha, the sixth younger brother is so embarrassed, this prince should be more sensible, and don't bother the sixth younger brother and the sixth younger brother to whisper."
When the words fell, Chu Qing walked away.
Seeing that Chu Qing had left, Mu Yunjin snorted coldly, and looked at Chu Li, "It's the first time I realize that it's not bad for you to talk less."
"Is this a compliment?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Yunjin.
"Well..."
"Brother Li..." Qin Muyue's voice came from the gate.
Mu Yunjin frowned when she heard this voice, and then saw Qin Muyue, who was wearing a lemon-yellow smoky skirt today, running briskly here.
As soon as she walked in front of Chu Li, Qin Muyue smiled like a flower.
"Sister-in-law Yunjin, are you there?" After a while, Qin Muyue turned her gaze to Mu Yunjin who was standing beside Chu Li.
Mu Yunjin forced out a smile coolly, "Yes, I'm also there."
"Sister-in-law Yun Jin, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't welcome you, I'm just surprised that you didn't stay with your fourth sister in Xiangfu." Qin Muyue stared at Mu Yunjin with a forced smile on her face, She stuck out her tongue.
"Chu Li asked me to come here." Mu Yunjin said calmly, with her hands behind her back.
Qin Muyue heard Mu Yunjin blurt out Chu Li's name naturally, the smile on her face froze, and she lowered her eyes slightly.
Chu Lidan glanced at Mu Yunjin who was beside him, and was not at all annoyed when she heard her calling him by his first name.
"Brother Li, you and I are about the same age, can I call you that in the future?" Qin Muyue paused for a while, then raised her eyes to Chu Li, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"No." Chu Li coldly refused.
Qin Muyue's eyes flashed, she pursed her lips, put on a pitiful expression, and blinked at Chu Li, "Why can Sister-in-law Yun Jin, but I can't?"
Chu Li seemed to have never heard of it, and he didn't even lift his eyelids to Qin Muyue. His gaze swept across Mu Yunjin on one side, and he said coldly and indifferently—
"You are not my concubine."
