Chapter 189: The Original Form is Revealed (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Hidden One, “Where is Zhong Yu”

“Within Marquis Zhong’s mansion, the date is set.” Hidden One hung his head and returned, “Right after you reach maturity.”

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “If Zhong Xuan knew about this, I wonder how she would feel”

“Master, could it be that this matter was not arranged by Zhong Xuan” Hidden One asked in a low voice.

“No.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “This matter should have been planned, perhaps someone set it up.”

“Subordinate will retire.” Hidden One hung his head and returned, then flashed away.

Zhong Yu became the crown prince’s side consort she still really did not expect ah.

This news is quickly spread out, Su Qinru and Hou Yi Yi companion to come, the two feel that this Zhong Hou House out of the daughter is really extraordinary.

“Sister Mu, you’re talking about Third Miss Zhong is also a capable one.” Su Qinrou said as she looked at her.

“It is very capable.” Mu Zi Yan nodded with a light smile.

“But so into the crown prince’s residence, in the future will certainly not be favored, not to mention, the Zhong family is standing in the third prince’s place.” Su Qin Rou eyebrows slightly knit, “I really don’t understand, so hard to get that position, what is good is only a side consort.”

“So what if the side consort, if the crown prince ascends to that throne, in the future it will be the empress.” Hou Yi Yi chimed in.

“It’s too early to say anything about this.” Su Qinrou looked at her and said, “But I think there is something odd in this matter.”

“If you all think it’s odd, everyone else should be able to see it too.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “As for what exactly it’s for, we’ll know when Zhong Yu marries over.”

“I don’t know how, just feel this one is not crazy” Su Qinrou felt that now the relationship between the families has become more and more subtle, especially with her growing up with the family lady, how to become more and more out of place.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Now that the dead are dead and the married are married, it’s only you and I who can sit here chatting with a good head on our shoulders.”

“That’s true.” Su Qin Rou smiled and opened her mouth, “Sister Mu, your maturity ceremony is coming up soon, and after that you’ll have to go back to the Imperial Tombs again, so do you have any other plans?”

“No.” Mu Zi Yan faintly shook her head, “It’s as good as it gets.”

“I’m just worried that when the time comes for the maturity ceremony,” Su Qinrou said to herself.

Hou Yi Yi hurriedly covered her mouth, “How come you’ve become tongue-tied too”

“What are you afraid of, what can’t be said here in sister Mu” Su Qinrou pulled off Hou Yi Yi’s hand and snorted coldly.

“That can’t be said freely.” Hou Yi Yi, however, felt that nothing more could happen.

Mu Ziyan smiled lightly and said, “I think that at the ceremony of maturity, the one who inserted the hairpin for me was the Empress Dowager.”

“I’m afraid that old madam will be disappointed.” Once Su Qinru heard this, she whispered, “Sister Mu, then you have to prepare well, this maturity ceremony can’t be sloppy.”

“It’s not necessary for you to say,” Hou Yi Yi got up and tugged on Su Qin Rou, “We’d better go back, let sister Mu have a good rest.”

“This is leaving,” Su Qinrou clearly had no intention of leaving yet.

“Yes, you will soon become a member of the Mu Hou Mansion, since you can’t leave.” Hou Yi Yi said and let go of Su Qin Rou’s hand, looking towards Mu Zi Yan, “Sister Mu, you rest well, I will go back first.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and opened her mouth, knowing that Hou Yi Yi should have known that she was not feeling well, so this was why she wanted her to be too overworked.

The corner of Su Qinru’s mouth turned away, and she said in a low voice, “Then Sister Mu rest well.”

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “Sister Su, take your time.”

“En.” Su Qin Rou turned to leave and saw Hou Yi Yi waiting for her in the courtyard, she smiled helplessly and walked up before the two of them left together.

Yun Xiang came forward, “Eldest Miss, are you feeling better”

“Much better.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “How is the situation outside?”

“Rather nothing special.” Rue Xiang hung her head and returned.

“Prepare for a trip to the Princess’ Mansion.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered and then went to prepare.

Mu Zi Yan sat on the carriage, waited until the princess residence, since she took out the token, not long to see the palace maidservant asked her to enter, she went to the Lin’an County Princess’s place.

County Lord Lin’an was currently sitting on the soft couch reading a book, when she saw her coming, she slowly got up, and after the two of them greeted each other, they sat down together.

“Sister Lin’an, my sister came because she wants to take a look at the Twelfth Highness.” Mu Zi Yan looked at County Lord Lin An and explained her intentions.

“His Twelfth Highness is very understanding, and mother herself has been taking care of him these past few days.” County Lord Lin’an looked at her and said.

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan responded with a light smile, “Being able to let Her Highness personally raise her is Twelfth Highness’s good fortune.”

“You wait.” County Lord Lin’an opened her mouth indifferently, and after a while, she saw Jun Qianrui walk in obediently.

When he raised his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, his eyes overflowed with bright light, then he stepped forward and looked at County Lord Lin An and her, slightly arching his hand, “Sister Lin An, Sister Cheng An.”

Mu Zi Yan saw that he was becoming more and more understanding, she was both heartbroken and pleased, “Twelfth Highness, please take a seat.”

“En.” Jun Qian Rui nodded his head in response and sat quietly on the sidelines.

County Lord Lin’an saw that Mu Zi Yan was looking at him with a smile, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a faint smile, “Why not invite Your Twelfth Highness to the Marquis Mu Mansion”

“May I,” Mu Zi Yan asked, looking up at her.

“You are a County Lord now, so it is possible.” County Lord Lin’an said in a low voice.

“Then this matter also requires Your Highness’ approval.” Mu Zi Yan continued.

“Mother’s place will not object since, I have already ordered someone to talk to mother.” County Lord Lin’an said faintly.

“Many thanks to sister Lin An.” Mu Zi Yan thought that there was even such a generous and graceful woman in this world, able to tell her mind from her subtle expressions.

County Lord Lin’an hooked her lips and smiled lightly, “Sister don’t have to be courteous, you and I are very much alike, in the future you can often come and sit down, accompany me to talk and I’ll be happy.”

“Good.” Where was Mu Zi Yan unwilling.

Lin’an County Lord saw her promise so quickly, eyes flashed a touch of faint delight, turned his eyes to look at Jun Qianrui who hung his head low and did not speak, whispered, “The twelfth highness since he returned to the house, he has not seen him smile, but it is heartbreaking, sister since she came, the twelfth highness will go with the younger sister to stay for a couple of days, but also accompanied by him to dissipate his mind.”

“Sister Lin’an is truly a woman with an orchid heart.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her with a smile.

“Now that it’s getting late, I won’t keep sister for dinner, it just so happens that I’m fasting these days.” Sheriff Lin An said softly.

“Then my sister will not disturb sister Lin An.” Mu Zi Yan said as she got up and made a slight bow towards her, and County Lord Lin An got up unhurriedly and returned the salute.

Mu Zi Yan led Jun Qian Rui out of the Princess’ Mansion, and when she got on the carriage, Jun Qian Rui’s nature became less restrained, and she lifted her hand to hold Jun Qian Rui in her arms, whispering, “Twelfth Highness can get used to the Princess’ Mansion in the Princess’ Mansion”

“En.” Jun Qian Rui nodded and responded, “Imperial Auntie will accompany Rui’er.”

“That’s good.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Her Highness the Princess is an extremely loving person and will definitely take good care of the Twelfth Highness, and in the future the Twelfth Highness will have to be filial to her as well.”

“Rui’er took note.” Jun Qian Rui obediently responded.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, she saw Yun Xiang take out the prepared pastries from within the food box, she had thought to leave it for him, not realizing that she had actually brought the person out now, she lowered her eyes and smiled, “Twelfth Highness have a taste.”

“Sister Cheng An, call me Rui’er in the future.” Jun Qian Rui said as he raised his eyes to look at her.

“Good, when it’s just you and me, I’ll call you Rui’er.” Mu Zi Yan said softly.

“En.” Jun Qian Rui took a piece of pastry and bit into it, raising his eyes and smiling brightly at Mu Zi Yan.

This was the first time he had smiled since Princess Yun’s death, and she knew very well that for a long time it would be impossible for him to ease up from the loss of his mother, but it would make him stronger.

When they arrived at Marquis Mu’s residence, Mu Zi Yan was going to hold Jun Qian Rui and get off the carriage, but he insisted on going down on his own, “Royal Auntie said that in the future, we have to rely on Rui’er himself.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered, so she got out of the carriage first, and then saw him slowly but unhurriedly get out of the carriage.

Looking up at her, she whispered, “Sister Cheng An, I can do it myself.”

“Twelfth Highness, please.” Mu Zi Yan responded with a light smile, and then followed his side as he picked up the steps himself, and because the threshold was too high, he only reluctantly allowed her to carry him across, and then he entered the Marquis’ residence along with her.

When Qi learned that he had come, she led the people forward to greet him, and then she saw his small figure, walking steadily step by step by himself.

“My humble servant’s wife greets Your Twelfth Highness.” Qi made a slight bow towards Jun Qian Rui.

“There is no need for you to be polite, ma’am.” Jun Qian Rui put one hand behind his back, holding out his small chest and whispering.

Qi then got up, and Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly towards Qi, “Mother, in these few days, the Twelfth Highness is staying at the residence for a few days.”

“Then I will go and prepare.” Qi hurriedly returned.

“Mother, the Twelfth Highness lives at his daughter’s place, so there is no need to prepare since.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and opened her mouth.

“Oh.” Qi’s eyes lowered as she looked at Jun Qianrui, “Twelfth Highness, please.”

Jun Qian Rui nodded slightly and then followed the crowd into the Smokefall Courtyard.

The old lady has got the news, even if not willing, the heart stored doubts, but also can not lose the etiquette, since it is personally come to kowtow, to be into the smoke fall courtyard, Mu Houfu up and down will be rushed in unison.

Jun Qian Rui did not have the slightest uneasiness or nervousness, at a young age he took out the air of a prince, sitting on the square couch, accepting the kowtow of the crowd, and responding in a nonchalant manner, and it was only after the crowd had left that he revealed a lovely smile that belonged to his age that had not been seen by outsiders.

Mu Zi Yan went forward and sat on his side, “Rui’er doesn’t have to be formal, just tell me what you want to play and eat.”

“Good.” Jun Qian Rui answered smilingly, where was the appearance of a small adult just now.

Mu Zi Yan felt that the hot springs manor was more suitable for him to have fun without constraints, and also for safety reasons, he took him to the hot springs manor after resting for one night in the Smoke Drop Courtyard.

Chu Ye rested for a whole day his body got a lot better, he did not expect Mu Zi Yan to come so soon, he raised his eyes to look at Ming Jing, “My complexion is good”

“Much better than yesterday.” Akane whispered back.

“That’s good.” Chu Ye then put on the white jade mask, and went out of Qinya Xuan.

Mu Zi Yan saw Chu Ye come out with an unharmed expression, and then said, “That pill can be useful”

“Excellent.” Chu Ye responded in a warm voice.

“As long as it’s useful.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly and lowered her eyes to Jun Qian Rui, “Rui’er, this is Mr. Chu.”

“Sir Chu.” Jun Qian Rui nodded slightly, raising his eyes to Chu Ye as he spoke softly.

Seeing him like this, Chu Ye then half squatted and took out a rounded stone from his arms, “Does the Twelfth Highness know what this is”

“Pebbles,” Jun Qian Rui took them and played with them in his palm.

“No.” Chu shook his head.

“What is that,” Jun Qian Rui asked curiously, all his eyes being drawn to the small stone at the moment.

“Alabaster.” Chu whispered.

“White Jade Stone” Jun Qian Rui raised his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan and then to Chu Ye, “Is this meant for me”

“If Your Highness likes it, take it and play with it.” Chu said with a smile.

“Then I must give you something as well, never take something from you for nothing.” Jun Qian Rui said as he handed him a jade pendant at his waist, “Here.”

Seeing that he actually had such a mind, Chu Ye smiled and lifted his hand to take it, “But mine is nothing more than an ordinary stone, and this jade pendant of Your Highness’s is worth a lot of money.”

“In my heart this stone is priceless.” With that, Jun Qian Rui opened the scented bag at his waist and placed the stone inside.

Mu Zi Yan also couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that he could have such a mind, Dao really impressed her.

Chu then got up, “Smokey keep him company.”

“What about you,” Muzzy Smoke then asked.

“I’m going back to the Divine Doctor Sect.” Chu said indifferently.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan did not ask Chu Ye the reason, everyone does something, since there is his reason, why should she be nosy?

Chu Ye turned around with a smile and then went back to Qinya Xuan.

Mu Zi Yan then took Jun Qian Rui to leave, first went to his own residence, accompanied him to play for a while, he was tired, Mu Zi Yan will hold him into the inner room to take a nap.

When he woke up, they had lunch together, and Mu Zi Yan took him to see confabulation, and he saw that confabulation was very cute, and turned his eyes to look at him, “Is this Sister Cheng An’s sister?”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

“It’s cute.” Jun Qian Rui lifted his hand and gently touched confidant’s pink cheeks, moving forward to look at her carefully.

Confederation is now one year old, and can walk and babble a few sentences. Mu Zi Yan sat on the side and watched Jun Qian Rui teasing Confederation to talk, which was very cozy.

Yunxiang handed over the tea, “Eldest Miss, it’s rare for the Twelfth Highness to be so happy.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “When you grow up some more and your temperament is set, I’m afraid it won’t be like this.”

“When does Missy intend to return” Rue Xiang asked with her head hanging down.

“Two more days.” Mu Zi Yan thought about how rare it was to bring him out, since she couldn’t stay for a day and then go back.

It was only three days later that Mu Zi Yan and Jun Qian Rui left the hot springs manor, and Chu Ye had yet to return.

She sat inside the carriage, Jun Qian Rui had been silent, thinking that he knew he was going back, and was inevitably upset.

Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile, “In a few more days, I will bring Rui Rather out again how”

“Good.” Jun Qian Rui nodded in response.

“I will go back later, Rui’er can still remember what I said” Mu Zi Yan asked softly.

“Rui’er has memorized it all.” Jun Qian Rui tilts his head and looks at Mu Zi Yan, obediently leaning in her arms, waiting until he arrives at the Princess’ Mansion, Mu Zi Yan takes Jun Qian Rui back.

Princess Yuehua was not in the mansion, and County Lord Lin’an was not there, so Mu Zi Yan was not in a position to stay long, and watched Jun Qian Rui enter before she turned to leave.

“Eldest Miss, the Twelfth Highness is truly reluctant to give up on you.” Yunxiang whispered.

“Yes, it’s just that this day both Princess Yuehua and County Princess Lin’an are not in the Princess’ residence, will something happen if we leave the Twelfth Highness in the residence like this” Bi Yun asked in a low voice from the side.

“No.” Mu Zi Yan faintly said, “The Princess’ residence is heavily guarded, it is impossible for idle people to enter.”

“Oh.” Bi Yun nodded slightly and then said, “Eldest Miss, the slave girl feels that that County Lord Lin’an has a tranquil nature and knows your mind very well.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at her, “How can you tell”

“Eldest Miss, don’t you think that this Lin’an county princess knows you too well” Bi Yun felt that in this world, unless one is a close sister, it’s impossible to be able to see through someone so well after only meeting them for a few times, not to mention Eldest Miss’s mind.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and spoke, “I rather think it’s because she has a heart.”

Bi Yun thought carefully about Mu Zi Yan’s words and nodded her head slightly, “What Eldest Miss said is true.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “You girl, lately your temperament has tightened up quite a bit.”

“Eldest Miss, are you praising the slave girl,” Bi Yun asked with a smile as her eyes moved slightly.

“See, just when I thought of praising you, you showed your original form.” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile.

“Eldest Miss, slave girl,” Bi Yun hurriedly lowered her eyes, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing this, Yunxiang also just smiled lightly, and the three masters and servants returned to the Mu Hou Mansion with such rare jokes and laughter.

Qi saw her return and whispered, “You’re finally back.”

“What happened,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice when she saw Qi’s face freeze.

“Your maternal grandmother is sick.” Qi’s face showed concern, “I was waiting to go there with you.”

“When did you get sick,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a hurry.

“This morning.” Qi said and hugged Mu Ling Jue, “Go take a look.”

“Yes.” Thinking about Mu Zi Yan also has not seen grandmother for a long time, last time also asked about master grandmother’s situation, physical health, how could it suddenly sick?

She took a deep breath and figured she was being paranoid.

When they arrived at the Duke of Qi’s residence, Qi Xuan and the others were already waiting in the courtyard, and when they saw Mu Zi Yan coming, Qi Xuan stepped forward, “Cousin.”

“Cousin, how did you get sick all of a sudden,” Mu Zi Yan asked in disbelief.

“I don’t know.” Qi Xuan said in a low voice, “Just now, Dr. Jin came to diagnose his pulse and said that he had been struck by an evil spirit.”

“Being possessed,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “How is this possible?”

“I don’t know either, but with Dr. Jin saying so, I think someone must be trying to harm grandmother.” Qi Xuan continued.

“I know.” Mu Zi Yan lifted her steps and entered the inner room, and saw Qi’s eyes reddening, and she was currently sitting on the side.

When she slowly stepped forward, she saw Dr. Jin standing with a frown on his face.

“Master.” Mu Zi Yan stepped forward and called out.

“You come with me.” Dr. Jin said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.
