Chapter 226 – The Newly Established Crown Prince and Smokey’s Marriage (2 / 2)
by Jessie@AFNCC“En.” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive it, and after reading it, she then got up, “Go out of the mansion.”
“Where is Missy going,” Rue Xiang asked carefully.
“Go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.
“Ah” Yunxiang was a bit puzzled and asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t the Crown Prince come himself”
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “How come you girls have so many questions”
“The slave servant knows that she is wrong.” Yunxiang then did not say any more, but retreated.
After a while, Mu Zi Yan took the carriage out of the Mu Hou Mansion and went to the Crown Prince’s Mansion since.
Jun Qian Mei was waiting for her outside the residence, and when he saw her coming, he descended the stone steps to the carriage, and when she got out, he looked at her and then asked, “Isn’t the county princess worried?”
“Worried about what,” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.
“So into the Crown Prince’s Mansion.” Jun Qian Mei laughed lowly, clearly not the slightest bit restrained, but asking very frankly.
Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “Why worry”
“County princess really has the courage.” Jun Qian Mei responded appreciatively, and the two of them entered the Crown Prince’s Residence together. Unlike what they had seen before, the Crown Prince’s Residence nowadays was more or less luxurious, with more than a
Wah, more jaded.
Mu Zi Yan then sat down, his eyes downcast as he picked up the tea and took a light sip, before saying in a low voice, “Sheriff Master please.”
“The Crown Prince summoned me here just to sip tea” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.
“Feel free to chat.” Jun Qian Mei said in a low voice.
“Oh.” The reason why Mu Zi Yan had come was just to see how the present-day Jun Qian Mei would be like, having shed his identity as the King of Qing and turned into a Crown Prince.
With his dark yellow robes and a shocking aura between his hands and feet, there was no doubt that he had adapted well to his current identity.
“County Lord doesn’t seem surprised at all.” Jun Qian Mei said with a smile.
“Accident what” Mu Zi Yan put down the tea, “the emperor so good intentions, would rather give the crown prince to the king of Qing to raise up, also do not want to let the crown prince in the palace to be aggrieved, I think the emperor for the crown prince is a high hope.”
Jun Qian Mei laughed lowly, “That’s true.”
His eyes were unperturbed, without any ups and downs, and not the slightest emotion could be seen.
Mu Zi Yan felt that this person was too well hidden and was even more powerful than Leng Han Feng, not to mention Jun Qian Hao.
This world is still such a capable person, just the current situation of the dynasty, he is afraid of more trouble.
“Father was thinking of holding the wedding next month, but now that the dynastic situation is unstable and I’ve just been crowned the Crown Prince, there are many things to do, so the wedding has been postponed.” Jun Qian Mei was appreciative and favorable towards Mu Zi Yan, and only felt that such a woman was unattainable.
He had never been a person who was good at expressing himself, much less deliberately explaining himself, but when he faced her, he couldn’t help but explain himself clearly, fearing that she would misunderstand.
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “I think that should be the case.”
“Is it true that the county princess does not have any idea at all” Jun Qian Mei saw her mentioning the big wedding, but she did not even have a trace of emotion, which made him not know whether he should be happy or worried.
Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, “The Crown Prince is joking, what ideas can I have”
“Rather.” Jun Qian Mei nodded in response before saying, “But I don’t want to force you.”
Mu Zi Yan got up and said, “Between the crown prince and me, there is not any grudge, and I have always been a person who is clear about grudges and grudges, and for the emperor to give marriage, it is also a matter within my expectation, but I just did not expect it to be so.”
Seeing Mu Zi Yan speak bluntly, Jun Qian Mei instead became a little embarrassed, her eyes moving slightly as she continued, “In fact, I knew early on that you would become my Crown Princess.”
Mu Zi Yan saw that Jun Qian Mei had actually said this and only felt that this person was somewhat interesting and could not help but smile, “The Crown Prince has impressed me.”
“I am honored to be able to impress the county princess.” Jun Qian Mei did not refer to herself as this palace in front of Mu Zi Yan from the beginning to the end, but rather the word I, showing great humility and not deliberately or respect for her.
Mu Zi Yan, however, knew that he valued himself, otherwise, he wouldn’t have talked to her like this without getting angry.
“Yes, the Crown Prince does have many things to be busy with these days.” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “There is no harm in the Crown Prince saying what he has to say.”
“I really don’t have any other intentions, I just want to invite County Lord to come and have a word.” Jun Qian Mei looked at her and said.
Mu Zi Yan, however, froze a bit, “Then what does the Crown Prince want to say”
“Actually, I have something to give you.” Jun Qian Mei said and then took out a box from her bosom and handed it to her.
Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive it, and when she read it, her eyes flashed with a touch of consternation, “I’ve been looking for this recently.”
“I know.” As Jun Qian Mei was speaking, she saw County Head Yu An walk in.
He raised his eyes to look at her, “Sister, are you well”
“Much better.” County Lord Yu An warmly responded, raising her eyes just in time to see the box in Mu Zi Yan’s hands, her eyes flashed a touch of darkness, then she sat down.
It just so happens that Jun Qian Mei still has some business to attend to, so he leaves first, raising his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “County Lord take a seat.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head in response, and then she saw Jun Qian Mei get up and leave.
Sheriff Yu An came forward and sat on her side, saying in a low voice, “Let me call you Eldest Miss Mu.”
“Good.” Mu Zi Yan was a bit surprised to see County Lord Yu An suddenly change her address.
Yu An County Lord continued, “In fact, my brother was silently paying attention to you when he left the capital, and when he left the capital later, he was even more attentive to your movements at all times, he knew all of your preferences, he knew who you were close to, and he also knew who you disliked, and what he had in mind for you, he had never told anyone else, and he had never dared to show the slightest hint of it. “
Mu Zi Yan froze slightly and raised her eyes to look at her, “What is it that the county princess is saying this for”
“Eldest Miss Mu, my brother is my only relative in this world, I don’t ask you to love him, but I beg you not to hurt him.” Sheriff Yu An raised her eyes to look at him and said, “You will never know how long brother has waited and how much he has paid for this day.”
She rose slowly and lifted her steps to step out of the palace.
Mu Zi Yan froze on the spot, looking down at the box, stunned for a long time.
“Where is Yu An,” Jun Qian Mei asked in a low voice as he entered the room and saw only Mu Zi Yan staring blankly, but not County Lord Yu An.
Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him and put down the box in her hand before getting up, “I’ll leave first.”
Jun Qian Mei was visibly stunned, but he didn’t know why he had suddenly become this cold as he said in a low voice, “Fine, I’ll see you out of the mansion.”
“No need.” Mu Zi Yan slightly blessed herself, turned around and stepped out of the palace.
Jun Qian Mei stood in the great hall, looking at her back as she slowly disappeared, her eyes flashed with a touch of gloom, and with a bitter smile, she raised her hand and took the box, gently caressing it.
Mu Zi Yan went out of the Crown Prince’s mansion and sat in the carriage, her ears echoed with the words of Yu An Sheriff, she couldn’t believe it, she only felt that a person could hide his feelings so well, what on earth was it for?
She was a little confused as to what had happened in her past life and how it had ended.
“Missy, are you alright” Yun Xiang looked at her worriedly
Looking at her worriedly, she asked.
“It’s fine.” Mu Zi Yan was a little annoyed and whispered, “Go to the tavern.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang answered with her head hanging down, and then she ordered the driver of the car.
When she arrived at the tavern, Mu Zi Yan got off the carriage and raised her eyes to see Gong Xin seeing off a guest, who happened to see her coming over and hurriedly went forward to bow.
Mu Ziyan smiled lightly and said, “Don’t be polite, I heard that the shopkeeper has made a new osmanthus brew, so I came over to try it.”
“Herborist specially prepared some for the county princess, so I’ll go get them now.” The shopkeeper said, then turned around and walked inside.
Mu Zi Yan then sat in the previous seat, looking through the window at the street outside, the bustling crowd, but at the moment because of her arrival has become more and more lively, but she does not care, but sit quietly.
Zhang Zong sat across from her at some point, raising his eyes to look at her with a preoccupied look, “What’s wrong”
“Nothing.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, “Why is Big Brother Zhang free to come over today?”
“Just happened to be doing some errands in the neighborhood, and when I saw that someone had gathered around, I knew that it was you who had come over.” Zhang Zong looked at her and said.
“En, just went to the Crown Prince’s residence.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.
“The Crown Prince’s Residence,” Zhang Zong’s eyes widened, “but looking at your demeanor, I think something must have happened.”
“It’s nothing, it’s just that there are some things I can’t figure out.” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile.
“Since I can’t think of anything, I’ll leave it for now.” Zhang Zong smelled the aroma of the osmanthus brew, at this moment, where did he still have the heart to think about things.
Mu Zi Yan saw him so gluttonous, low laugh, “In the past also do not see you addicted to wine ah, how come now this look.”
Zhang Zong raised his eyes and glanced at the shopkeeper, “Who made this house famous for its Osmanthus Brew”
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “It is very famous.”
“Luckily, the county princess came to patronize, and the grasshopper’s business just got better and better.” The shopkeeper couldn’t help but say with joy.
“Yes, this is also thanks to the blessing of the county princess, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to taste the osmanthus flower brew.” Zhang Zong said having already poured it himself and took a sip right then and there.
Gong Xin stood to the side and said with a smile, “If the Grand Master likes it, the grass people will prepare some more for you and bring them back to the mansion.”
“Good.” Zhang Zong hurriedly agreed, fearing that the Osmanthus Brew would be snatched by someone else.
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “If Sister Lu knew that you looked like this, I’m afraid that she would have thrown you out in the morning.”
“Throwing” Zhang Zong spread his hands, “Where do I have a place in the family nowadays”
Mu Zi Yan can not help but laugh, if bystanders look at the Iron Judge is a fear of his wife, I am afraid that will laugh off the teeth.
Zhang Zong is just talking about it, since he won’t have the guts to talk nonsense at Niangzi Lu’s place.
Mu Zi Yan and Zhang Zong then chatting up, the heart of the depression will also dissipate a lot, the two are talking vigorously, they saw Mu Lingxuan and Mu Lingrui also came over, followed by Lei Yichen also rushed over, this is more lively.
It is not just that this tavern is very cozy, or they put aside their identity, but also because this osmanthus brew is too authentic, anyway, the atmosphere is very good, a few people waited until late at night time before they dispersed.
Zhang Zong had since returned to the Beijing Zhaoyin’s government office, Lei Yichen had returned to the Lei Marquis’ residence, and Mu Lingxuan had returned to the Mu Marquis’ residence with Mu Lingrui and Mu Ziyan.
Mu Ling Rui raised his eyes and looked at her, he wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to start, so he didn’t mention the matter of her going to the Crown Prince’s mansion this morning, and just went back to his own courtyard in silence.
After Mu Zi Yan bathed and washed, she went out of the house, and was about to lie down, when she heard the sound of a flute coming from outside, she froze for a while, and then said, “What is blowing in the middle of the night?”
Yun Fei flew down, the corner of his mouth turned away, “Not good.”
Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, “You still know.”
Yun Fei put down the jade flute while sitting and looking at her.
Mu Zi Yan then leaned to the side with a thin blanket covering her body and smiled as she spoke, “What are you looking at me for”
“You’ve changed.” Yun Fei said in a cold voice.
“Change,” Muzzy Smoke thought for a moment, “I change daily.”
“You’re not a monkey.” Yun Fei snorted coldly.
Mu Zi Yan froze, knowing the meaning of his words, thought it was Jun Qian Rui in this place to recuperate the days, she and Jun Qian Rui told the story about the Monkey King that she heard in that world, Yun Fei also listened to the story, so now she said that she is not a monkey.
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Then where have I changed?”
“Heart.” Yun Fei raised his hand and was about to reach over, but was slapped back by Mu Zi Yan, tilting his head’s, “Indecent exposure.”
“Petty.” The corner of Yun Fei’s mouth turned up and he got up and left.
Mu Zi Yan also hummed along with Yun Fei, and then she laid down, but she was also sleepless.
People are always self-contradictory, especially in the face of a sudden occurrence that always catches her a little off guard, she suddenly remembered Jun Qian Yu and wondered what he was doing now
Early the next morning, when Mu Zi Yan woke up, the sky was already bright, she stretched her arms, slowly got up, got out of the bed, Yun Xiang and Bi Yun had already come in with a copper basin.
Mu Zi Yan looked at the two of them, “Something happened last night”
“Yes.” Rue said, looking at her.
“What is it,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.
“Princess Yuehua has left the capital.” Yunxiang whispered, “Ever since County Princess Lin’an left, Princess Yuehua has been staying within the Princess Residence, and this is the first time she has left the capital.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “The current situation, I think the Emperor is going to completely hand over to the Crown Prince, and as for this Great Yan’s kingdom, it will be pressed on him.”
“Eldest Miss, when you came out of the Crown Prince’s residence yesterday, the Crown Prince went to seek out County Princess Yu An, and I don’t know what he said, but County Princess Yu An cried for the whole night.” Yunxiang whispered.
“I know.” Mu Zi Yan’s hand gave a slight lurch, and after purifying her face, she took the square towel and whispered, “What about Jun Qian Hao’s place.”
“Rather, it is very peaceful, and did not send out troops, just guarding the current north.” Yunxiang was puzzled, “Eldest Miss, the slave girl can’t see it instead.
Can’t read it.”
“Now at this time, it’s not easy to start a war, although Jun Qianhao has claimed the title of Emperor, but the north is ultimately a vast and sparsely populated area, his troops can resist for a period of time, but it’s not a long term solution, I think Zhong Xuan there should have a plan with her master.”
“Does Missy mean that that place will send someone,” Rue Xiang asked in a low voice.
“Yes, someone will come before long.” Mu Zi Yan had a premonition that the Northern Qing Kingdom would inevitably intervene in the matter of Great Yan, especially still at this time.
“Eldest Miss, this is what the Crown Prince sent over.” Bi Yun handed her the box in her hand.
Mu Zi Yan slightly stunned, raised his hand and took it, knowing that this is yesterday he gave her, did not expect that he still sent over.
“Eldest Miss, this is a post from the Crown Prince.” Bi Yun then handed her the post again.
After Mu Zi Yan read it, “There should still be secrets in that part of the Qing King’s residence.”
“Missy is going,” Rue Xiang asked in a low voice.
“Go.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Nowadays it is impossible not to go.”
“Then the slave girl will prepare.” Yunxiang answered with downcast eyes, then turned around and went to order.
Mu Zi Yan went to Qi’s place to ask for peace, Qi saw that she did not look different and said in a low voice, “Yan’er, your matter with the Crown Prince”
“Mother, let nature take its course.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.
“Ai, this girl of yours has too much of an idea, ever since you became a county princess, I’ve been worrying about your marriage, I didn’t expect that after going round and round, you still did the royal family.” Qi sighed quietly, “I on the contrary want you to marry some usual.”
Mu Zi Yan light smile said, “Mother, nowadays the dynastic situation, there are changes at any time, this marriage is also just a bestowal of marriage, from the big wedding is not still some days, by then I do not know what the situation is.”
“En.” Qi nodded her head and responded, “But many things need to be set up early in the morning as well, this is what the Crown Prince sent this morning.”
Mu Zi Yan was obviously stunned, and then took it over, inside is a list of bride price, and some important ceremonial needs, looking at the words above, strong and powerful, and she has seen Jun Qian Mou’s handwriting, so she knows that this is his personal writing.
Qi looked at her, “The Crown Prince does have a heart, these things can be unique in this world.”
Mu Zi Yan didn’t know what to say, and Qi continued, “I think it was prepared early in the morning, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so fine.”
“Mother, let’s put this stuff away for now.” Mu Zi Yan handed her the list.
“Good.” Qi nodded slightly when she saw that she looked calm.
Mu Zi Yan came out from Qi’s place, exited Marquis Mu’s residence, and went to King Qing’s residence.
Jun Qian Mei was still in the palace now, so there was already a housekeeper welcoming her forward, who had since given her the key, “Sheriff Master, this is what His Highness has asked the old slave to give you, being the key to the courtyard in front of His Lordship’s body.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and replied, then she followed the memory of her last visit and went to Old King Qing’s courtyard.
Waiting until after, she opened the house since, into the survey of the surrounding area, raised his eyes to look at the painting, always feel that this painting on the place of déjà vu, and the same as on the map, but somewhat different, here in the end what is the place?
She froze on the spot and waited until a tea break had passed before she snapped back to her senses and continued to gawk.
In this way, until midday, Jun Qian Mei hurriedly entered the room, seeing that she was still inside, he frowned and went up and said, “The inside is not looking for someone to clean it, there is too much dust, it is not easy to stay for too long.”
Mu Zi Yan visibly froze, raised her eyes to look at him, and then said, “It doesn’t matter.”
“You go out first.” Jun Qian Mei said in a cold voice.
When Mu Zi Yan saw that his face was cold, she didn’t say anything more, but lifted her steps and left the house.
Not long after, they saw the housekeeper bring over two buckets of water, and Jun Qian might be pulling up his sleeves at the moment, wringing out the cloths, and sweeping the house on his own.
Mu Zi Yan froze on the spot as she whispered, “This is not what the Crown Prince should do.”
“Don’t come in.” Jun Qian Mei raised her eyes and said in a deep voice.
Mu Zi Yan saw him turn around and then quickly cleaned up, her movements were very familiar.
The housekeeper said from the side, “When the old master was alive, His Highness would come over to personally clean the study, since the old master left, His Highness locked this house, if not for His Highness coming back this time, this study would not be opened again for fear.”
“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, raising her eyes to look at Jun Qian Mei, who was methodically busy inside the house, and suddenly became a little puzzled that he was really treating the old King of Qing as his father.
