"In addition to Princess Biyuan, there are also Princess Yinwan and Prince Xingze."
Mu Lin knew that "Grand Princess" was the title of the leader of Penglai, and other princesses and princes were all given titles based on their names, but... Mu Lin asked curiously, "Isn't Princess Bi Yuan the only daughter of the previous generation's Grand Princess?" How come she has two younger brothers and sisters
"Princess Yinwan and Prince Xingze were twins born to the previous princess thousands of years ago. Not long after that, the previous princess passed away, and the prince consort missed her too much and committed suicide."
Mu Lin nodded, expressing her regret. She sighed softly, thinking that the twins were quite pitiful, having lost their parents at such a young age.
The maid suddenly revealed an indescribable expression: "Princess Yinwan... you, in short, I suggest you don't have too much contact with Princess Yinwan..."
Mu Lin looked at her with interest: "Why?"
"The eldest princess is very busy. Although she dotes on Princess Yinwan, she can't help but neglect to accompany her. Princess Yinwan has a straightforward personality and doesn't like beautiful women. I'm afraid she will make things difficult for you..."
"oh?"
I'm afraid it's not about being frank, but about being arrogant and unreasonable
As a distinguished guest with the support of her master, Mu Lin was not afraid at all. She did not take the maid's words to heart, but said slowly: "No, I believe that Penglai's way of hospitality should be a model for the fairy world."
“… You are overpraising me, Immortal Lord.”
This was a compliment, as if Princess Yinwan was causing trouble for her because Penglai had treated her poorly, but it seemed that there was really no way to refute it.
After hearing the report, Bi Yuan laughed angrily: "What a bitch!"
She was insidious and cunning, hiding a needle in cotton wool. I don't know what means she used to confuse the emperor, and he actually accepted her as his only disciple, and also made the Second Prince of the Nine Heavens infatuated. Is she the reincarnation of a fox demon? There are thousands of ants biting her chest, and jealousy is quietly growing in the dark and damp place.
When night fell, darkness did not cover the land of Penglai. The moonlight penetrated the light green barrier and instantly turned into a brighter silver, with soft light filling every corner.
Mu Lin lay down and took a nap, then told the fairy maid to call her half an hour later, that is, before the banquet started. After sending the fairy maid away, he set up a special magic circle beside him. After half an hour, the fire element in the magic circle would instantly disappear, and then wake her up with the cold.
Mu Lin was not woken up by someone. When she woke up from the cold, there was no one around her. The huge palace was too quiet.
Mu Lin stood up and looked at the sky. There was still a quarter of an hour before the banquet started. During this period, if he could not wake up in time and rush to the banquet, it would be rude to be late. This harmless but disgusting calculation made Mu Lin feel a little unhappy. This method was even more low-level than the fairy queen putting drugs in the wine. After all, it could not kill with one blow.
I don’t know if it was done by the eldest princess.
Mu Lin sat calmly in front of the dressing table, adjusted her appearance in front of the bronze mirror, and changed into a rose-red flowing fairy dress. The simple and smooth style brought out the beauty of her appearance to the extreme.
This is exactly the effect we want.
When Mu Lin left, he glanced at the two maids meaningfully, not missing the flash of panic in their eyes. The Immortal Lord's pressure was released without reservation, and the two little maids trembled and almost fell to the ground immediately, unable to even make a sound, and the surroundings became deathly silent.
It was only a blink of an eye, but time seemed to be stretched to an endless length. It seemed like a very long time had passed before a voice came from above my head: "Lead the way."
The two fairy maids felt relieved, as if they had been pardoned. Without saying a word, they climbed up and walked diligently to Mu Lin to lead the way. Their respectful attitude made people sigh that the rules of Penglai are very good.
When passing by the Green Lotus Pond, a refreshing breeze mixed with the fragrance of lotus blew on their faces, and the fairy maids only then realized that their backs were soaked with cold sweat.
After being frightened like this, the fairy maids naturally dared not play any tricks anymore and obediently led her to the direction of the welcoming banquet. Mu Lin calculated the time and the welcoming banquet was about to begin.
Penglai maintains the etiquette of kneeling for banquets. Elegant and luxurious food tables are placed with various delicacies, small in quantity and exquisite in variety. Except for the food table on the main seat which is east-west oriented, the others are placed in two rows from north to south.
It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early, and Mu Lin arrived at the right time.
The person sitting on the main seat was naturally Princess Bi Yuan. The whole set of jade jewelry made her head look solemn and elegant. The blue and white interlaced skirt made her look more refined and elegant. A lot of effort was put into the details. The silver patterns on the neckline and the hem of the skirt were exquisite and intricate. However, in Mu Lin's opinion, it was a little too complicated and gorgeous, and instead looked a little out of place.
The woman on the lower left was staring at Mu Lin with eyes that were about to spit fire. Her eyebrows were similar to Bi Yuan's, but with a bit more arrogance. Her face was a rare beauty with gorgeous features. She was wearing a scarlet and gold-woven palace dress that was exquisite and gorgeous. Her clothes and appearance were extraordinary.
Mu Lin roughly guessed her identity. She looked more pleasing to the eye than Bi Yuan, but her temper was obvious. Now that her dress color clashed with hers, she might cause trouble for her soon.
Below that was a pale and handsome young man, his light blue clothes were proper and impeccable, his eyes were calm and gentle, and there was a faint polite smile on the corners of his lips. Compared with his two sisters, his presence was less noticeable.
Below them were some old men and women, probably the clan elders and old retainers or something, nothing worthy of attention.
According to the custom of banquets, the right is the most respected, so her master, Emperor Zhechuan, naturally sat on the right. He was still dressed the same as when he came, elegant and indifferent, and it seemed that he didn't have much feeling about this banquet. The empty seat below was reserved for her. The distance was a little far, so it was not convenient to talk in private. Mu Lin was a little amused.
Everyone's eyes were directed towards Mu Lin, and without exception, they were all stunned for a moment.
She was extremely different from the world, seductive and graceful, with beautiful makeup and exquisite decorations, graceful and elegant, soft and gentle, charming and weak... This Immortal Lord Jiucang was truly the most beautiful person in the immortal world.
Even the curve of his lips was just right, and he said with a smile: "I am late, I hope you don't blame me..."
Bi Yuan's smile was also impeccable, and he said kindly: "How could that be? Jiu Cang Immortal Lord has arrived at the right time, please take a seat."
While watching Mu Lin take his seat, he secretly observed Emperor Zhechuan's reaction. The emperor lowered his eyes and did not react at all... Bi Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the lowly woman who was close to the water tower could not get the moon first, which shows that the emperor is self-disciplined and has a noble character.
Actually, Zhechuan was in a trance, with sparkling white teeth and a smile on his face; his long eyebrows were connected, his eyes were slightly curved, his expression was soul-stirring, and his heart was happy... The first time he saw Mu Lin, these words emerged in his mind, and he immediately reacted and lowered his eyes to think deeply.
As a master, he shouldn't have such thoughts... Or maybe, it wasn't that he had any thoughts, but just a normal reaction to beautiful things.
Princess Biyuan's opening remarks did not arouse Mu Lin's interest until she began to introduce the important people at the banquet. The person sitting to her lower left was indeed Princess Yinwan, and the one with a less noticeable presence was Prince Xingze, the youngest of the three siblings.
Princess Yinwan always glared at Mulin but never attacked her, which surprised her. Until she caught Princess Yinwan's eyes secretly looking at her master, which were warm and affectionate...
Oh, Princess Yinwan has to maintain her image in front of her master, and Princess Biyuan is the same. At most, they will exchange a few words with her, and there will be no sign of going too far. After all, she is the master's only disciple, and bullying her may leave a bad impression on the master... They all want to be her master's wife.
Tsk, they definitely don't know that the master already has someone in his heart, Mu Lin thought nonchalantly. It's only a matter of time before the princess sisters' hearts are broken, but she is too lazy to tell them, and there is no benefit. It's worth hitting the wall twice.
In the second half of the banquet, Mu Lin began to interact frequently with his master. In order to hear clearly what his disciple was saying, Zhechuan moved towards Mu Lin and leaned forward slightly to listen, which made the princess and sister secretly clench their teeth.
Mu Lin happily tasted various delicacies and shared his experience with his master from time to time.
Biyuan: I hate it!
Yinwan: I hate it!
Finally, the banquet was over. Bi Yuan immediately asked Zhechuan to leave on the pretext of something, and left Mu Lin to her troublesome sister.
Princess Yinwan came over and condescendingly ordered, no, invited Mu Lin to go boating on the lake. Mu Lin "gladly" agreed, completely ignoring the advice from her maidservant who told her not to get too close to Princess Yinwan.
After all, this advice was really meaningless. She was really curious about what this unruly princess wanted to do. Of course, she agreed not just out of curiosity. She didn't have so much free time...
The faint night breeze makes the calm lake surface ripple, and the sparkling moonlight appears. Fireflies dance among the red and white lotus flowers, and the Penglai Fairy Lake is breathtakingly beautiful.
At this time, Princess Yinwan and Mu Lin were sitting on the bow of a small boat, and there was only a fairy maid silently ferrying people across the stern.
"Princess Yinwan is in a good mood and invites me to come and enjoy this dreamlike wonderland together."
Yin Wan looked at Mu Lin and suddenly said, "In some ways, you are really like my sister."
She looks like Bi Yuan? Obviously there is no similarity, right? Mu Lin asked curiously: "How are they similar?"
“Just as hypocritical.”
"..." Mu Lin was choked. What kind of fake sisters are these? They actually said this to a stranger like her. Is this princess either spoiled or stupid
She suddenly asked back, "Does Princess Yinwan know how to swim?"
"I don't understand. What's wrong? Don't beat around the bush. I hate dealing with people like you. You can say eight hundred things in one sentence..."
Mu Lin interrupted her with a smile: "Then Princess, please be careful and don't try to provoke me. If I'm in a bad mood, I might just drill a hole through the bottom of the boat."
"Are you threatening me?" Princess Yinwan looked at her angrily. Mu Lin smiled without saying a word, seeming even more unfathomable.
