    Chapter Index

    “Déjà vu,” Bi Yun raised her eyes to the wooden bridge in front of her, which was no different from an ordinary wooden bridge.

    “Let’s go.” Mu Zi Yan lifted her steps onto the wooden bridge and walked forward step by step.

    The river under the bridge is not too fast or too slow, the breeze, gently take a deep breath, seems to be able to smell a faint fragrance of flowers, Mu Zi Yan looked straight ahead, but do not want to look left and right to find out.

    This bridge is more than eighteen feet long, step on the foot is very flat, and not half a point of shaking and falling feeling, walk up as if walking on the ground, which makes Mu Zi Yan can not help but be a little surprised, to be halfway, then suddenly stopped in their footsteps.

    Bi Yun and Yun Xiang, one in the front to lead the way, one in the back to follow, Yun Xiang see Mu Zi Yan stopped, then also stopped, hanging his head behind.

    Mu Zi Yan stood on the bridge and turned around, lowered her eyes and glanced at the bridge, the clear river water, vaguely reflecting her thin body, the corner of her mouth hooked up a faint smile, the person who built the bridge is quite thoughtful.

    She didn’t linger, so she lifted her steps and continued forward until she reached the end of the bridge, Bi Yun turned around and helped her down, and from afar she saw Qi Xuan rushing over.

    Now just after noon, so walk around the bridge, afraid of unusual time is also sweaty, but, she did not have half a trace of heat, this is the unique features of the bridge built.

    Mu Zi Yan looked at Qi Xuan with a smile, in front of the bridge is a wide green stone paved road, on both sides is the shade of good trees, the sun is hanging high, through the dense tree branches, sprinkling out fine golden dots.

    Qi Xuan long figure, dressed in ice blue fine silk, embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf pattern of snow-white piping robe, a steady pace, waist and back straight, with a strong air of books, but without losing the unique Duke of the State House of the austere general marshal, handsome and elegant as this.

    Qi Xuan also looked at the bridge Mu Zi Yan, a goose yellow dress, embroidered with dots of white plums, that between the eyebrows through the graceful gas, now in the water between the mountains, more appear to be Zhong Ling Yuxiu.

    The two of them then looked at each other like this and smiled, and there was a kind of wordless closeness to what was a relative.

    Many years later, Qi Xuan’s heart still throbbed when he remembered this moment today.

    When Mu Zi Yan saw Qi Xuan welcome her, she also took a few steps forward, and when Qi Xuan rolled over and dismounted from his horse in a dashing manner, he landed in front of her, “Cousin, are you tired from the journey?”

    “Fine.” Mu Zi Yan glanced sideways at the wooden bridge before looking at Qi Xuan, “How come cousin is still at the hot spring manor”

    “I wanted to leave yesterday, but it just so happened that the Chapter Marquis’ son also came, and today the Third Prince is also at the manor, so I was not allowed to leave.” Qi Xuan is somewhat glad that he hasn’t left yet, otherwise he wouldn’t have waited for Mu Zi Yan here.

    Mu Zi Yan guaner smile, now is only ten years old, smile up but unique a touch of bright brightness, let Qi Xuan obviously a stunned, but also just a fleeting moment, and then sidestepped, then with Mu Zi Yan walked forward together.

    “Can cousin ride a horse,” Qi Xuan inquired in a low voice.

    “Will.” Mu Zi Yan is learned riding and shooting, the previous life, because of Leng Hanfeng, along with his battlefield, and she is the granddaughter of the Duke of Qi’s house, and how can not riding and shooting it so later learned a bit of painstakingly, just this small body, I do not know if I can ride the tall steed.

    “Here from the manor there is still a distance, not if the horse ride before it” Qi Xuan knows that she does not stay at home, even if she goes out is only some of the major families of socializing, which walks on the mountain road, afraid that it is also the first time it.

    Mu Zi Yan raised his eyes to look at the distant manor, eyeballed some, about two miles, think of their own lock in the boudoir all day, either lying down or asleep, rarely walk, she would like to walk in the mountains and water, a good stretch.

    Turning his eyes to Qi Xuan, “Cousin, it’s a rare occasion to come out, I want to take a walk.”

    “That’s good.” Qi Xuan also does not obstruct, his heart for some reason, there is a trace of joy and excitement, eyebrows and eyes with a smile on the side of her, the two of them are so wrong half a step away, one after the other towards the manor.

    Biyun and Yunxiang two people carefully followed behind, although the heart is curious, but also rare trip out, naturally want to enjoy some, but in the way of the face of the lady, they naturally can not look around.

    Qi Xuan side walking, one side will also point to some peculiar flowers, plants and trees, or along the road carved stone tablets and ink treasures, very patiently said with Mu Zi Yan, she will occasionally stop, tasting some, but also has a unique insight.

    This caused Qi Xuan to be surprised by Mu Zi Yan’s knowledge as well, and when he raised his eyes to look at her, those eyes were even radiating a dazzling light.

    When Mu Zi Yan saw Qi Xuan like this, she just laughed, “Classy.”

    Qi Xuan hurriedly laughed and said, “Rather, cousin can be so talented, which in turn makes me a bit overwhelmed.”

    Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “Cousin is poking fun at me”

    “Dare not dare not dare.” Qi Xuan quickly waved his hands and just looked at her with a smile.

    Mu Zi Yan is treating Qi Xuan like a relative, the Qi Duke’s House in the previous life suffered a disaster because of her, in this life, she must protect them properly, so when she looks at Qi Xuan, she is always able to recall his previous life, and finally died in the battlefield in the bleakness of the battlefield.

    She hastily put away her mind and raised her eyes to look ahead, now that she had arrived at the foot of the manor, the manor’s gates were very imposing, with tall jade pillars, like guarding generals, permeated with a mighty and domineering atmosphere.

    Mu Zi Yan eyes narrowed slightly, this hot spring manor really change the owner, and, this person is indeed a big hand, more not simple, alone the lintel of the plaque, the handwriting strong and powerful, but also contains a proud in the world of disdain, just look at the ink will know that this person must be a maniacal people.

    Qi Xuan raised his eyes and looked at it as well before looking at Mu Zi Yan, “What does cousin think”

    “Mad.” Mu Zi Yan only one word, then also just a faint smile, lifted his steps into the manor.

    Qi Xuan nodded slightly, since he agreed, after entering the manor with her, he personally arranged for a place to stay, in addition to the third prince, the third prince’s side consort, Cui, also came along.

    Mu Zi Yan entered the guest room, and Qi Xuan was not in a position to enter, so he said, “Cousin rest well, I’ll come back later for dinner.”

    “Thank you, cousin.” Mu Zi Yan made a slight bow towards Qi Xuan, who turned around and left the guest room.

    Biyun and Yunxiang then breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pushed open the window, curiously admiring the hot spring mountain resort.

    Mu Zi Yan see her two rare so liberal, it does not obstruct, but turned into the inner hall, the arrangement is really unique, she slowly leaned against the window on the soft couch, the window bamboo shadow, not far away from the blooming of the delicate colorful flowers, she one hand propped up her jaw, one hand strokes through the window pane, and so quietly looking out.

    After Yunxiang and Bi Yun had appreciated it enough, their faces still had a few moments of curiosity on their faces.

    “Eldest Miss, tonight’s dinner, are you using it in the guest room,” Bi Yun asked with a smile.

    “Xu can’t.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “The third sister was sent to the family temple, how could the third prince’s side consort not know”

    “Eldest Miss, could it be that the Third Prince’s side consort is still blaming you for the Third Miss” Bi Yun’s mouth turned away, obviously unconvinced.

    “Since I won’t be blamed, but making things difficult is something.” Mu Zi Yan also relaxed enough and slowly got up, lifting her steps to go outside.

    “Where is Eldest Miss going,” Bi Yun hurriedly followed.

    “Since I am going to pay my respects to the Third Prince’s side consort.” Mu Zi Yan did not like to be passive, and often at this time, the most favorable thing to do was to make a preemptive strike.

    Biyun and Yunxiang hurriedly followed, the third prince side consort stayed not far away from her guest room, but also able to distinguish between high and low.

    Mu Zi Yan looked at the maidservant waiting outside, she stood still, Yunxiang went up and reported herself, the maidservant also led her into the hall, then went to report the third prince side consort.

    Mu Zi Yan patiently waited, so then after half an hour, but did not see the third prince consort summoned, Bi Yun face some ugly, but also did not dare to make a sound, just raised his eyes to look inward.

    “Slap your mouth,” came a low voice from the inner hall, and then saw the maidservant standing not far from Bi Yun’s body come forward.

    Before Bi Yun could react, that maidservant waved her hand and gave Bi Yun a slap.

    Biyun was stunned for a moment and hastily knelt down.

    Mu Zi Yan mouth corner hooked up a cold smile, know that the third prince side consort will certainly be difficult with her, just, her people, only she can hit and scold, the other side of the move a finger, that also want to see if she can not withstand it.

    Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to Bi Yun, “Get up.”

    “Eldest Miss,” Bi Yun’s clear cheek was imprinted with a bright red slap mark, knowing that the maidservant had struck hard.

    Mu Zi Yan said in a deep voice, “Get up.”

    “Yes.” Bi Yun gritted her teeth and got up, her heart in shock and fear.

    Mu Zi Yan looked at Bi Yun, “How did I teach you in the past”

    “It’s the slave girl’s fault.” Bi Yun’s eyes reddened as she whispered back.

    “You are at fault.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look directly at her, “How did this young lady teach you in the past, whoever dares to touch you, you will return her ten times, do you still want this young lady to say it again”

    “Big Miss” Bi Yun this stunned look at her, see her eyes cold and heavy, Bi Yun heart a hard, know that this time absolutely can not give big Miss disgrace, the third prince side consort this where is in the fight her, is clearly to the big Miss disgrace, not, she even if she lost her life, but also can not let the big Miss no face.

    Bi Yun turned to look at the maidservant who just hit her, not waiting for that maidservant to react, raised his hand and directly hit the maidservant’s cheek, and then left and right, “slap” slap sound echoed in the entire hall, the sound sounds so relieved.

    Bi Yun finished fighting in one breath, and that depression in her heart dispersed, and then she respectfully stood behind Mu Zi Yan.

    Only heard the bead curtain ringing, then saw from the inside out of a woman dressed in expensive brocade clothing, face pretty, eyes slightly raised, flooded with the slightest cold light, in the side of the maidservant’s support, slowly walked forward, and then sat on the square couch, “Miss Mu is so great temperament.”

    Mu Zi Yan, however, responded in a nonchalant manner, “My daughter wouldn’t dare.”

    “Do not dare” the third prince side consort Cui Yunshi coldly laughed, “this girl is really restless, just now even lifted the eyes peeping, is not this palace lesson not”

    Mu Zi Yan is also calmly look at Cui Yunshi, “since it is able to teach lessons, just the courtesan’s girl, not peeping, but is just an internal emergency, waiting for a long time with no results, it is inevitable that some can not help it, do you want to let her on the ground to solve it not”

    Cui Yunshi was choked for a moment, and when she raised her eyes to look at Bi Yun, she saw that she also answered frankly, without the slightest bit of avoidance.

    Bi Yun heart is wailing a piece, but also know that this is the big lady to find good words, then quickly kneel down, “slave girl know side consort lady since is magnanimous, can you allow the slave girl to retire.”

    Cui Yunshi saw this girl this smart, she had not yet opened her mouth, this girl went down the ladder, even though she was angry, she could not lose her temper, so she said in a deep voice, “Stand down.”

    “Many thanks to Lady Side Consort.” Bi Yun hurriedly retreated after thanking her for her grace.

    Cui Yunshi looked straight at Mu Zi Yan, “Although that girl is excusable, but she shouldn’t have hit this palace’s people, you know, hitting the dog still needs to look at the master.”

    Mu Zi Yan lowered her voice and said, “Lady Side Consort’s lesson is correct, my daughter is not returning it in time.”

    Cui Yunshi’s eyes glazed over, “You, Miss Mu, are truly articulate.”

    “Many thanks to Lady Side Consort for the compliment.” Mu Zi Yan hurriedly responded.

    Cui Yunshi raised her eyes and looked straight at her, taking a solid breath before changing her face, “I don’t know what Miss Mu has come for”

    “My daughter heard that the side consort lady is here, then specially come to ask for peace.” Mu Zi Yan said also very frank, she is the first lady of the Marquis of Mu, words and deeds are representative of the Marquis of Mu, where there is a prince side consort to come, do not go to ask for peace!

    This time Cui Yunshi was even more unable to pick a reason, no wonder Jing’er would be driven to the family temple, this Mu Zi Yan is really not a good person.

    Cui Yunshi now also can’t explicitly cross with her, so she could only whisper, “Your heart since I appreciate, this palace is tired, so I won’t stay with Miss Mu to have a meal.”

    “Your servant daughter excuses herself.” Mu Zi Yan also bowed respectfully before retreating.

    After Mu Ziyan left, Cui Yunshi looked at the maidservant who had been beaten with red and swollen cheeks on the side and snorted coldly, “Indeed, she is useless.”

    That maidservant was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a thud, “I beg for the side consort’s lady’s grace.”

    “Drag it down.” Cui Yunshi said in a deep voice, coldly getting up, she turned around and entered the inner hall.

    Mu Zi Yan walked under the eaves of the corridor, winding meandering corridor, she walked on the one hand, one side pondering, where is the third prince now is not with Leng Hanfeng, chapter Staffer in a place then cousin?

    Calculating that tomorrow father will go to Funan, and brother will go to Nanlu with the Prince the day after tomorrow, this journey is afraid to be very dangerous, how should she cope with it?

    Biyun and Yunxiang carefully followed behind, Biyun’s cheeks were already red and swollen, but the good thing was that her heart was relieved, and now when she looked at Mu Zi Yan, she handed Yunxiang a look.

    Yun Xiang stepped forward and softly called, “Eldest Miss, but you want to go back to the guest room”

    “Walk around.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at the pavilion small thank in the distance, so she walked forward with Xu steps.

    Yunxiang and Bi Yun followed in silence, not long after, when the master and servant three entered the pavilion terrace, she then sat down and raised her eyes to look at the mountains stacked up in the distance, the clouds curling up, just like the road in front of her, she could not see the end.

    In less than a moment, will see a servant girl came in a row, to be set up after the fruit plate pastry tea, they retreated out, Bi Yun went forward and whispered, “This hot spring manor really different ah.”

    Yun Xiang shook her head slightly at her, Bi Yun then spat out her tongue, and then turned to look at Mu Zi Yan, seeing that she was pondering, and her color looked a bit grave.

    Bi Yun sighed quietly at Yun Xiang, so the two of them didn’t dare to interrupt and quietly stood aside.

    Only a moment, will see someone up, Biyun see some face, only to see that person is seven feet tall, tall and straight, sword eyebrow and starry eyes, red lips and teeth, handsome face, hands and feet are permeated with a charm and elegance of the atmosphere, it is really a good gentleman.

    The two glanced at each other, somewhat vigilantly watching the man go forward, Biyun hastily stopped, “This gentleman, my lady is resting in the pavilion, can you find another place to go?”

    “Dare I ask who the lady is” asked the man in front of him.

    Mu Zi Yan, however, after hearing that voice, woke up violently, to be back to God, turned her eyes to see that she could not wait to peel skin, her eyes broke out a flash of cold light, is still that face, but more than the first time she saw him when he was a bit green, his eyes deep, at this moment is the gaze fell on her body, seems to be in the probe and like a measure.

    Mu Zi Yan suppressed that anger in her heart, and then slowly got up, crossed his side with a gloomy face, and left the pavilion platform.

    Leng Hanfeng froze on the spot, he was quite confident in his own appearance, which women see him is not heart to see, adore, but why is this lady in front of you is this kind of color!

    He saw the anger in her eyes and the loathing that came from the bottom of her bones.

    Leng Hanfeng has his pride, his family is poor, but with their own efforts to this point, he can accept any kind of look at him, but absolutely can not appear contempt and disgust.

    He stepped forward with a big stride, and with a flash of his body, he blocked Mu Zi Yan’s path.

    “Get lost,” Mu Zi Yan said in a deep voice, but she didn’t want to look at him.

    Leng Hanfeng where to see such a fierce woman, once again froze, but refused to move away, suppressed the anger and curiosity of the heart, asked in a low voice, “Dare to ask in the next but have offended the lady, why the lady to me this kind of attitude.”

    Mu Zi Yan contemptuously cold snort, she now since she is not willing to push him away, lest dirty their hands, turned his eyes to look at this stone steps are not high, so a spin, they jumped from one side.

    “Eldest Miss” Yunxiang and Bi Yun where have they seen Mu Zi Yan lose her mind like this before, and immediately screamed out in fear.

    Leng Hanfeng also never thought that she would rather jump off this step, but also do not want to stand in one place with him, but he and she only met for the first time Why in the end Leng Hanfeng looked at the front of the eyes of such a fiery since of the woman, but could not help but produce more curiosity.

    Mu Zi Yan jumped very suddenly, although the stone steps are not high, but there are also a full ten layers, so from the height of ten layers to jump down, ordinary women are afraid of not dead that is injured.

    Mu Zi Yan is not a weak woman, she was able to jump down, but also since there is a certainty, when she used the strength of a large tree on the side of the ground, landed steadily on the ground, she is also directly forward to leave.

    Leng Hanfeng stood in the distance froze for a few moments, for some reason, he did not want to let her leave, so he leaped, and then easily landed on the ground, and then took big strides to catch up.

    Yunxiang and Bi Yun had just rushed down the stone steps, when they saw that Leng Hanfeng had already caught up with their own young lady, the two of them did not care about anything else, and with the hem of their skirts, they also ran over.

    Mu Zi Yan saw Leng Han Feng following her, she had already suppressed the anger in her heart at the moment, just let her look at that face of his again, she really would not be able to resist tearing that face to pieces.

    She was about to get angry when she saw Qi Xuan walking from afar, the man at the front was handsome, with a clear brow, Mu Zi Yan recognized him at a glance as the third prince Jun Qian Che, while the one following him on one side was Zhang Shi Shi, and on the other side was Qi Xuan.

    Mu Zi Yan stood still, Leng Hanfeng wanted to go forward to ask, but saw the people in the distance, they also stood in the side of Mu Zi Yan, it looks like the two are familiar with the appearance.

    Mu Zi Yan took a step forward, keeping her distance from him, and Qi Xuan looked at Mu Zi Yan, casting a worried look at her.

    Mu Zi Yan knew that just now, her impulsive behavior was afraid to be seen by all of them, she could not help but have some headaches, but did not regret it.

    “My daughter has met Third Highness.” Mu Zi Yan respectfully saluted, where on her face was the anger from just now, instead she appeared to be very calm.
