Zhuang Yuyan nodded her head to express approval then with a smile, she said:
"Yes, not to mention you and I are now a wife, our paternal families are in the same official position as that of the general's house, not under them."
"Being in the same generation, how can we face that Qin xiaojie and offer our talents. This situation does not conform to the customs."
After Zhuang Yuyan finished speaking this, she somewhat embarra.s.sedly looked at Mu Yunjin.
"But the Qin family's shao ye and xiao jie has won so many battles this time. The limelight is really extensive, if we evade it, will it not provoke the Huang Hou (Empress) to be unhappy?"
Mu Yunjin gave Zhuang Yuyan a smile and put some food to her bowl.
"Yuyan jie need not worry, when we get to the mountain, there will be a way through. If we don't want to do things, who can force us."
Looking at Mu Yunjin's confident face, Zhuang Yuyan nodded and subconsciously, her heart relaxed.
……….
Chu Li did not return to the Fu until late in the evening.
Mu Yunjin was sitting on the stone table of the Gla.s.s Spring Pavilion waiting for Chu Li. When she saw Chu Li entering the door, she immediately got up and called Chu Li.
"Hey, Chu Li!"
Mu Yunjin blurted out, not aware of her improper remarks.
Chu Li's footsteps stopped when he heard Mu Yunjin's voice. He furrowed his eyebrows but still indifferently answered.
"En."
"I have something to tell you."
Mu Yunjin approached Chu Li, and lowered her eyes, showing an appearance of asking for help.
"En."
It's another hum.
"Huang hou sent an order, two from the Qin family will have a celebration banquet. Having all palace girls, and daughters of officials perform talents..."
"You don't have to partic.i.p.ate."
Mu Yunjin said half, and was interrupted by Chu Li's voice.
Mu Yunjin stood in place, and looked at Chu Li's slowly departing figure. She can see that Chu Li is not in a good mood at the moment, but she has his guarantee, her heart is relieved.
As for Yuyan jie, she heard that Zhuang Tai Fu is a very stubborn person. He would not agree with Yu Yan Jie performing a talent.
The next few days, with the words of guarantee from Chu Li, Mu Yunjin did not worry about performing skills in the slightest. Everyday she just eat and sleep, and was very comfortable.
"Xiao jie, you've been in the Fu for ten days. Why don't you go out for a walk?"
Zi Xiang walked into Mu Yunjin's room, puts the newly washed clothes into the Mu Yunjin's wardrobe.
Mu Yunjin was sitting on a rocking chair, hearing Zi Xiang's word, she discovered that she had not come out of the Fu for ten days.
"The weather is hot and I don't want to go out to the sun."
Mu Yunjin lazily replied.
Zi Xiang smiled and laughed.
"You have been staying in the Fu. Xiaojie, don't you feel bored?"
"You girl, it's probably you who wants to go out to play, so you are encouraging me to go out?"
Mu Yunjin replied and teased Zi Xiang.
Zi Xiang slightly blushed, lowered her eyes and smiled.
"When did this servant indulge?"
"Okay, okay, it's cloudy today. I'll take you out for a walk."
Mu Yunjin then got up.
"Yes, this servant will help comb xiaojie's hair."
A moment later, the two master and servant came out of the gates of the huang zi fu.
Walking on the street, Mu Yunjin found that there are so many people on the street today that the street is almost overcrowded.
When Mu Yunjin saw this scene, she slightly frowned, she wanted to find a tea house to rest, so she walked to the teahouse and found the hall of the first floor is already full of people, and even the window sill of the second floor at this time is also full of people.
Just as when she was about to ask Zi Xiang what day it was, she heard two people chatting.
"Major General Qin and Qin xiaojie's army is already at the gates of the city, and they are about to enter the city."
"Yes, yes, I am a little excited thinking about it. Today, everyone had come out to welcome Major General Qin and Qin xiaojie. "
"Look, they're coming!"
Mu Yunjin heard the words of the two people, she narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth lit up in a faint smile.
It turned out that the people of the Qin family came back.
Following the direction, the people, who were originally in the middle of the road, had already leaned to the side of the road. And in the middle of the road, there was a large group of men and horses, walking in the direction of the palace.
As the group slowly approached, the people on the streets knelt down and shouted.
"Welcome to Major General Qin, Qin xiao jie, you have returned in triumph!"
Mu Yunjin crossed her arms, she looked at the scene, and the whole street was almost kneeling down. She stood by the roadside like this, she was particularly towering.
The people standing beside Mu Yunjin originally wanted to pull her down to kneel together, but after a careful look at Mu Yunjin's face, they were immediately frightened. They lowered their head, and did not dare to move.
The army is approaching, headed by a person she reckon to be in rank of a deputy general, riding on the horse. At the moment, his face is serious, as he lead at the front, followed by several rows of soldiers, with the same expressionless face.
Behind the soldier, a fine carriage was slowly following. Behind the carriage was another long line of troops.
Mu Yunjin's gaze was totally concentrated on the carriage, as the carriage slowly pa.s.sed in front of her, her heart felt complicated.
As the carriage went far away, the crowd dispersed, the place that was crowded with people is now empty.
"Miss, are we still going for a stroll?"
Zi Xiang carefully opened her mouth, and looked at Mu Yunjin's not good expression.
"Why won't we go?"
Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow and hooked her lips. The she turned and went into a rouge shop.
Once in the rouge shop, Mu Yunjin met another acquaintance.
"Paying respect to Liu Huang zi fei."
Yan Lingchang is selecting a rouge with her servant girl. When she saw Mu Yunjin, she bowed her body.
Mu Yunjin nodded slightly, the last time her impression of Yan Lingchang is not good. So she did not want to pay more attention to Yan Lingchang.
Yan Lingchang, however, disagrees with her and walks to Mu Yunjin's side.
"Liu huang zi fei, this is the new peach powder rouge here, with a faint peach blossom fragrance."
After speaking, Yan Lingchang picked up a pot of peach rouge and handed it to Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin had no intention of picking it up, and instead picked up another rouge.
"This is good, I do not like it having fragrance."
Yan Ling's face stiffened and then smiled awkwardly.
"Is Liu huang zi fei choosing the rouge for the upcoming performance? I just picked a peony red, ready to use when performing a talent."
"I won't perform."
Mu Yunjin replied with a faint voice. She took five or six small boxes of nice looking rogues. Then she let Zi Xiang go to the boss to settle the bill.
"Oh? No performance? But didn't Huang Hou say that one cannot have any excuse to evade it?
Yan Lingchang was a little surprised. After knowing the Huang Hou's orders, she was a little delighted. She wanted to see what kind of talent Mu Yunjin, this idiot can bring out.
Now she says she won't perform?
"Yan xiao jie has a lot of words today."
Mu Yunjin glanced at Yan Lingchang. At this time, Zi Xiang has already finished settling their bill. The two master and servant came out of the rouge shop.
Yan Lingchang's complexion became white, staring at the figure of Mu Yunjin, she bit her lips and scolded.
"Who's dragging? Qin xiao jie has come back, let's see for how long you can be the Liu huang zi fei!"
Mu Yunjin was not far away and naturally heard the mutterings of Yan Lingchang, and she could not help but smile.
"Everyone has been saying this, I am beginning to be curious. This Qin Muyue, in the end can she a.s.sume the position of Liu huang zi fei?"
"Xiao jie…."
Zi Xiang is speechless.
…………
After five days in a row, Mu Yunjin did not see Chu Li, and Shen Momo said that Chu Li was called to the palace by the Emperor everyday.
"Xiao jie, you are going to enter the palace to attend the celebration banquet. Which one do you want to wear?"
In the bedroom, Zi Xiang took a lilac brocade skirt and a pure light green skirt, and walked in front of Mu Yunjin.
"I want that one."
Mu Yunjin pointed at a plain blue clothes hanging in the wardrobe.
"Miss, that's too plain. You can wear it at ordinary times, but if you go to a banquet, isn't it unsuitable?"
Zi Xiang creases her small face.
Mu Yunjin smiled.
"what unsuitable? I'm not the protagonist of the banquet, that Qin xiaojie should be the one beautifully dressed."
Zi Xiang sighed, a little helpless, but also had to obediently put down the two dresses. The blue dress was then taken out of the wardrobe.
When combing her hair, Mu Yunjin also ordered to comb a simple and light bun, so Zi Xiang only inserted a hairpin and small pearl flower under the advice of Mu Yunjin.
After dressing up, Mu Yunjin came out of the room and looked at the closed door opposite of her, and pursed er lips.
"Chu Li is not in the Fu?"
Zi Xiang nodded.
"Yes, but the carriage of the Fu is already ready, and it is almost time. Xiao jie can go out."
Mu Yunjin agreed.
When the carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, it happened to meet the carriages of the Xiang Fu. Mu Xiang, Mu Yunhan and the others are coming down.
"Greeting Liu huang zi fei."
Mu Xiang saw Mu Yunjin, and then went to Mu Yunjin to make a courtesy ceremony.
On one side, Mu Xiarou and the Mu Lingzhu, who had just got off the carriage, also followed their father to salute at Mu Yunjin.
"Fu qin need not be too polite."
Mu Yunjin slightly opened her mouth, and her eyes swept over Mu Lingzhu.
"Yunjin mei mei, why did you dress up so simply?"
Zhuang Yuyan saw Mu Yunjin's dress, a little puzzled.
"Convenient."
The corners of Mu Yunjin's lip curved into a smile.
Zhuang Yuyan was not able to understand Mu Yunjin's meaning, but she still nodded her head, and looked behind Mu Yunjin and saw some people. She pulled her arm and laughed.
"Let's go in together."
With Zhuang Yuyan's company, Mu Yunjin felt that she was not so weird.
"Yunjin, I heard that you don't have to perform talent?"
Mu Yunhan walked on the other side and looked at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin nodded.
"Yes, Chu Li agreed."
Hearing Mu Yunjin blurt out Chu Li's name, Mu Xiang and Mu Lingzhu who was walking behind, changed complexion, their eyes showed a surprised expression.
Mu Lingzhu bit her lip, and look at the people as she smile brightly as before, but her eyes are full of jealousy and hate.
It was Mu Yunjin this s.l.u.t who had ruined her. If she didn't had her mother killed, it is unlikely that after reaching marriageable age she has n.o.body proposing marriage.
She is the number one talented woman in the Xi Yuan Country. Those who wants to marry her, should be lined up. Now, she has become the town's joke.
Fortunately, today she will perform her talent. She believes that she can seize this opportunity!
Humph, Mu Yunjin, the future is long, let's wait and see!
