After touching the tree, Mu Yunjin heard her heart beat faster.
The inexplicable sense of familiarity came up again, so she could not help but carefully look at the old tree.
What does this tree have to do with her?
Why does she always have a special feeling whenever she comes here and see this tree?
Thinking about it, Mu Yunjin laughed at herself, surely she was just overthinking things. This tree is called the Millenium Old Tree, it has been here for a milleniun, so how could it be connected to her?
Just as she was about to use qinggong to leave, the door creaked open. Mu Yunjin turned around and saw Chu Li slowly walking over.
Looking at the Chu Li walking step by step, Mu Yunjin decided to look at him. In a moment, it seemed to get misty and cloudy.
"You, how did you come in?"
A cold voice resounded on the top of her head.
Mu Yunjin heard the voice, and narrowed her eyes slightly, and tried to see clearly.
"Climbed in."
Chu Li laughed.
"This is a temple territory, you are alone at night and dared to run around."
"What daring? Buddha is in my heart, Buddha will bless me."
Mu Yunjin finished her speech, and her devout hands were clasped together in worship.
After that, Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li and added a sentence.
"You finished playing chess?"
"En."
Chu Li nodded.
Seeing that Chu Li at this time appears to be in a good mood, Mu Yunjin smirked, and cannot help but tease.
"Did you checkmate Master Huai Yuan one sidedly and did not leave face?"
"No."
Chu Li denied.
"Ben huang zi will depend on him to do things in the future. Naturally, ben huangzi let him have several rounds."
"It's a little interesting."
Mu Yunjin crossed her arms, she thought Chu Li had never given any face to anyone. He would only take care of himself.
Chu Li took a look at Mu Yunjin, then followed her gaze on the old tree in front of her.
"Do you like this tree?"
"It's not a question of liking."
Mu Yunjin replied.
Hearing Mu Yunjin's reply, Chu Li nodded. Without any emotions on his face, he looked at Mu Yunjin but his eyes are deep in thought.
……….
Sitting in the carriage back to the Fu, some time had pa.s.sed.
Mu Yunjin found a comfortable position to lay down, her eyes were a little tired, on the road to the suburbs, the road is a little b.u.mpy, the car is at this time swaying a little. Mu Yunjin also swayed, soon she fell asleep.
Chu Li sat there, listening to the sound of even breathing of Mu Yunjin. His sight swept over Mu Yunjin's body. Picking up a piece of blanket, he covered it over Mu Yunjin.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped, and the voice of Ding Xian came from outside of the carriage.
When he heard the sound, Chu Li was just preparing to get off but looked at the still sleeping Mu Yunjin. He gave a slight frown. Just as he wanted to call Ding Xian to carry Mu Yunjin out, he stared blankly.
When Ding Xian saw Chu Li holding Mu Yunjin out of the carriage, his jaw quickly fell to the ground.
Chu Li lightly pursed his lips, along the way, he ignored the surprised look in Ding Xian's eyes, holding Mu Yunjin all the way back to the Gla.s.s Spring pavilion. After entering the Gla.s.s Spring pavilion, he looked the sleeping and clueless woman in his arms and shook his head helplessly.
Zi Xiang is sitting in front of Mu Yunjin's bedroom door, dozing off. After being lightly tapped by Ding Xian, she immediately woke up.
When she got up, she looked at the scene in front of her, and she stretched out her arm.
"Your Highness, let this servant help."
Chu Li who is behind Ding Xian immediately faced Zi Xiang and meaningfully looked at her and shook his head.
Zi Xiang, knowingly withdrew her hand and turned around to open the door of Mu Yunjin's room.
Chu Li embraced Mu Yunjin and walked in, he placed her on the soft couch, he looked at Mu Yunjin, then walked outside.
After leaving the door, Chu Li turned to look at Zi Xiang.
"Wait before helping her change her clothes."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zi Xiang immediately nodded.
Chu Li hummed in approval, then went to the opposite room.
Ding Xian walked behind Chu Li, shook his head from time to time, looked up at the sky, sighed, changed… really changed ah….
The next day, when Mu Yunjin opened her eyes, she felt a pain in her neck and exercised her neck and discovered that she had a stiff neck after sleeping.
She got up and rubbed her hands and ma.s.saged her neck and shoulders.
"Zi Xiang…"
Zi Xiang immediately pushed the door and walked inside. After seeing Mu Yunjin had woken up, she smiled and said:
"Xiaojie came back late last night and went straight to bed. Now do you want to bathe first?"
Mu Yunjin nodded her head. Then she remembered that she and Chu Li were coming back from Shui Yun Temple last night, but after they got on the carriage, she had no more recollection.
"How did I come back?"
Zi Xiang smiled, as she helped Mu Yunjin arrange her clothes for today.
"Naturally, His Highness Liu huang zi carried xiaojie back."
Carried?
Chu Li?
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrow and looked at Zi Xiang.
"Are you sure it wasn't Ding Xian who carried me back?"
"What are you saying xiaojie! His Highness Liu huang zi is your Lord husband. How could Guard Ding dare to carry you back?"
Zi Xiang smiled as she looked at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin rubbed her temples and yawned. She did not know what nutjob of a mistake she committed yesterday that she was able to sleep like a dead.
After bathing, Mu Yunjin sat in front of the dressing table, Zi Xiang is trying to help Mu Yunjin comb her hair to a bun. Mu Yunjin waved her hand.
"I have a stiff neck today after sleeping, my neck is a little sore, do not coil my hair so high, it will be too heavy and my neck will be in pain."
At the end of her words, Mu Yunjin took out a silk ribbon from the jewellery box in front of the table and simply tied a refreshing pony tail.
She took out and wore a lightweight white garment from the cabinet and without make up she walked out.
After coming out of the door, Mu Yunjin saw the door was open on the opposite room. Shen Momo was holding a broom and sweeping. After she saw Shen Momo, Mu Yunjin suddenly thought of something.
On the day after her marriage with Chu Li, in order to fool Qin Tai Fei, she deliberately cut her finger and spilled blood on the white brocade. At that time, when Shen Momo saw the brocade, she seemed to be very happy.
But now, seeing Shen Momo is helping Chu Li clean his room, doesn't it show that she and Chu Li are not living in a room together? Then, are they exposed?
Thinking of it, Shen Momo suddenly opened her mouth.
"Alas, His Highness really has so many quirks. So that huang zi fei might not be inconvenienced. He specially sleep in another room."
"……"
Mu Yunjin's complexion is stiff, and she was speechles, she rolled her eyes. Chu Li this fellow, let Shen Momo clean a room, and also pulled out such a ridiculous excuse.
It seems that Shen Momo, this old woman is still kept in the dark.……
Mu Yunjin stopped thinking. She slightly pursed her lips and leaned against the doorframe.
"Is Chu Li not at home?"
"Yes, he was called by the emperor early in the morning, saying that it was aboit the matter of holding a celebration banquet.
"The celebration banquet? Who is celebrating? "
Mu Yunjin furrowd her eyebrows, and looked at Shen Momo.
Shen Momo stopped her hand's movements.
"Naturally, it is Major General Qin and Qin xiaojie's celebration. They have won so many victories and returned triumhantly. How can the Emperor not hold a celebration banquet for them? "
After hearing that it concerns the Qin family, Mu Yunjin suddenly lost interest. Just as she was about to return to her room, a little servant girl ran over.
"Paying respect to Huang zi fei."
"Excuse the ceremony, what's the matter? "
Mu Yunjin looked at the little maidservant.
"Just now at the palace, Huang Hou niang niang ordered that in half a month's time a celebratory banquet will be held at the Palace for Major General Qin, and Qin xiaojie. When that time comes, all the palace ladies are invited, as well as the daughters of third rank officials and above! The women who receive the invite shall perform one talent and the womenfolk must not use any excuse to evade otherwise they will be regarded as disobeying the Emperor's command."
Mu Yunjin stood in her original place, after hearing the words of her little servant girl, the corner of her mouth twitched.
In other words, the celebratory banquet was specially prepared for the Major General Qi and Qin Muyue, and she had to offer her talent to Major General Qin and Qin Muyue?
Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow, is there any mistake?
After the little servant girl left, Zi Xiang was having difficulty to look at her
"What's to be done, xiaojie? What kind of talent are you going to prepare?"
"I'm not going to prepare."
Mu Yunjin coldly sneered then she went back to her room.
Zi Xiang followed her with a wrinkled little face.
"But just now she said, you cannot evade, otherwise it is disobeying the Emperor's command."
"So what? Will they kill me?"
Mu Yunjin smiled and did not take this matter to heart.
Zi Xiang saw Mu Yunjin's att.i.tude is so tough, it is not good to continue to say anything, just to dissuade she replied.
"There is still half a month, xiaojie must think about this well, must not let emotions affect your decision."
Mu Yunjin lightly nodded, also did not say anything much.
Since coming back on her room, Mu Yunjin has been sitting in the rocking chair, looking at the ceiling in a flash, her mind had some deep meaning.
After half a month, Qin Muyue is coming back.
She always felt that after the woman returns, her days would not be as stable as it is now.
Thinking of it, Mu Yunjin also feels that she is too worried. Whether Qin Mu Yue comes back or not. How does it concern her?
When did she take this to heart?
………..
Mu Yunjin sat in her room until noon, until the door was gently knocked.
"Come in."
Mu Yunjin lazily opened her mouth.
"Yunjin meimei. "
After the door was pushed open, Zhuang Yuyan came in.
At the sight of Zhuang Yuyan, Mu Yunjin immediately got up and smiled.
"Yuyan jie…"
Zhuang Yuyan nodded with a smile, looking at her no make up look, there was surprise in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her senses and looked around.
"Is this the bedroom of you and Liu huang zi? It's not good to talk here. Let's go to the garden and talk."
Mu Yunjin can't let other people find out that Chu Li and her are sleeping in separate rooms. So when Zhuang Yuyan said that, she nodded her head and took Zhuang Yuyan out.
After coming out of the Gla.s.s Spring pavilion, Mu Yunjin took Zhuang Yuyan to the dining hall and smiled.
"Let's have a meal together."
"Good, then I won't be polite to you."
Zhuang Yuyan smiled back.
"If you are polite to me, my brother will be rude to me."
Mu Yunjin took Zhuang Yuyan to sit down, with a smile in her eyes.
Zhuang Yuyan nodded and sipped her tea first. After putting down the teacup, she looked at Mu Yunjjn
"The showcase of talent, has mei mei heard of it?"
"En, I've heard."
"So many womenfolk are ordered to perform their talents, and the songs and dances are not rare. I'm afraid all of them are trying to think of other patterns now."
Zhuang Yuyan said, there was a little troubled expression in her face.
Mu Yunjin gave a cold smile, disdainly opened her mouth.
" I do not know whose lousy idea it was, but you and I are now married and are already women. How can we be the same as those girls that are not yet married and show our face in public just to gain make the Qin family happy..."
