Chapter 17: Xiaoxiang

The man was menacing, but Zige was not in a hurry, opened his hands, and hugged him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info His short arms tightly wrapped around Zige's slender waist, and when he raised his head, there was a distressing look on his delicate face with a little baby fat.

"Sister Ge'er...... You don't want me anymore. Mu Lijun muttered in a low voice, his expression aggrieved, "After reading your letter, my brother won't let me go back to you." ā€

"Lian'er is in the boudoir now, if you don't accompany her much, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." Zige gently hugged him and touched his head. In the past few days, without Mu Lijun making trouble beside her, she also felt that the house was too quiet. The red dress was running for her outside, and returned at night. Song Qingshu is a man of few words, holding a sword and carrying a pot of wine, he can sit silently for a day.

"Sister Lian doesn't like me to follow her, and those servants in the hall are too boring." Mu Lijun tilted his head and looked at Song Qingshu who was silently following behind him, his face first showed a little dissatisfaction, and then turned into a naughty smile, "It's because you came that my sister sent me away, I knew I should have beaten you at that time...... No, no, I'm going to bargain with you in the future. ā€

Song Qingshu glanced at him condescendingly and did not speak.

"Will my sister live with us in the future?" Mu Lixuan grabbed the corner of her clothes, her bright eyes were crystal clear, her long eyelashes flickered up and down, and she pleaded.

"Let's stay for a while."

She replied softly, took Mu Lijun's little hand, and went straight into the museum, leaving Ji Cheng and the red dress, and commanding the servants to unload the luggage one by one. The servants were all dressed in white robes, all of them had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and their faces were feminine and delicate, different from those of Qi people.

"Where's your brother?"

Zige asked, Mu Lijun raised his hand and pointed to the pavilion, and led her to that direction.

Zige browsed the scenery of the museum all the way. I saw that the entrance is a huge garden, the trees are verdant, the strange flowers are sparkling, and a strange stone stands in the middle, which is exquisite. Behind it, there is a zigzag verandah, and the stones under the steps are spread into a road. The museum is full of Xiaoxiang bamboo, lush and green, and the heart is cool from afar, so it is named. A gap suddenly opened under the wall of the backyard, and a clear spring was introduced into the wall, flowing around the edge of the house to the front yard, circling under the bamboo.

With both mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery, it is indeed a place to live.

She was secretly admiring in her heart, but she felt that Mu Lijun suddenly grabbed her fingers tightly and stopped. When he looked up, he saw that Mu Lixuan was leading a person out of the side pavilion.

The man was dressed in a dark robe, with a round crown on his head, his face as white as paper, and his face was indistinguishable from male and female, and his deep eyes were like a dry well, which was difficult to see, and although he was smiling, except for the blinking eyes, the rest of the part was more like a delicately carved mask, which was obediently covered on his cheeks, and was fixed in a smiling posture.

"In just a few days, I will wait for Prince Mu to enter the palace."

His voice was hoarse, and he respectfully waved at Mu Lixuan, and then said goodbye and left. Zige lowered his eyebrows and stood on one side, but Yu Guang kept sending him away.

The dark red palace car was far away, and I didn't know what it was. Mu Lixuan pondered for a long time, then turned around and greeted Zige. For some reason, there seemed to be a faint sadness between his eyebrows.

"Ge'er, you're here."

After three steps and two steps, he came to Zige's side, and when he saw that Zige was still looking at the half-hidden side door with interest, he explained: "That's His Majesty's personal attendant Father-in-law Cen, who just came to spread the word and arrange for Lian'er to recruit relatives." ā€

Zige retracted his gaze and found that Mu Lijun and Song Qingshu were nowhere to be found, so they must have gone somewhere to try their fists and feet.

"Grandpa Cen looks...... It doesn't seem to have changed much from back then. ā€

Zige followed him into the side pavilion, but he still lingered in his heart with the lifeless face.

"I heard that he was seriously injured when he was young, and he lost sensation in many places on his face, so he was like a human skin mask, he didn't cry or laugh, and naturally he wouldn't grow old."

Mu Lixuan said. After only a few moments of sitting, a servant entered the house, put the tea and pastries on the table, and then quietly retreated. Zige glanced at it and saw that the word 'welcome' was still printed on the Dingsheng cake, so he couldn't help but smile.

"You forgot to tell me last time, why did Lian'er give the pastry such a delicate name?" Zige picked up a piece and played with it, the pale pink cake was round and pleasant, like an inverted five-petal plum blossom, "Hand rubbing the plum smile welcomes people, and wants to talk and rest infinite thoughts." What kind of person did she have? ā€

Mu Lixuan looked at her and chuckled: "Lian'er's thoughts, she refuses to say it clearly, and I can't figure it out." So I brought you here to be a lobbyist for me. ā€

"Elder brother is like a father, if she doesn't listen to your words, how will she listen to me."

Zige raised his eyebrows at him and said, took a bite of the Dingsheng cake lightly, and was full of relish.

Mu Lixuan watched her finish the cake little by little, and Fang Hao continued after a while: "You tell her that you have long been interested in me, and she will definitely talk to you and talk to each other." ā€

Zige was drinking tea, and almost choked on hearing the words, so he hurriedly put down the cup and stared at him with a pair of pretty eyes.

"Interested in you?"

"I heard that my daughter's family often enjoys each other's affairs, if you don't cast a peach, how can she repay Li?" Mu Lixuan's face was upright, but there was a faint hint of ridicule in his slanted eyes. He leaned forward, only half an arm's length away, and chuckled in a low voice, "Still...... Your heart already belongs to me? ā€

Zige looked at the handsome face that was close at hand, his deep gaze was like a traction abyss, and the faint incense on his body was on the tip of his nose, which made her almost forget her words for a while.

"Naturally not. It's just that I didn't expect you to have such an opinion on your daughter's family's affairs, and I was a little surprised for a while. She lowered her eyes and took the teacup to keep a safe distance from him, "I know how to deal with Lian'er." ā€

Mu Lixuan curled his lips and smiled, sat straight back to his place, and stopped teasing her. "You did a good job in this land fight, killing three birds with one stone. Why did the matter of sending the horse go wrong, presumably the king of Chengjiang didn't even have a clue. ā€

"I secretly injured the horse with this stone, I don't know where the three birds are?" Zige wanted to see his eyesight, so he asked rhetorically.

"Gao Zhan sent the horse in order to envelop the Marquis of Qinghe, and you ruined his good deeds, it was for one of them. The carriage was out of control, you rescued Luo Qin on the street, and sold a favor to the Qinghe Hou Mansion, which was the second. Mu Lixuan smiled and said slowly, "And the third is the downtown place you are thinking about." You know that when Gao Zhan is angry, he will definitely seal up Xuanwu Mafang, and this piece of land will become a hot potato, and you can take it into your pocket. ā€

Zige bowed his head slightly, but he added: "But...... But I had a faint glimpse of the fourth bird. ā€

"Where's the fourth bird?" Zige can't help but laugh.

"You sent someone to pocket the horses in the horse shop overnight, but you alone secretly sent the bloody horse from the town store to the Huainan Palace, and entrusted someone to send it to the prince." Mu Lixuan looked at the lukewarm tea in front of him, with a gentle expression in his eyes, "Are you ...... Always wanted to change a good horse for Gao Zhen? ā€

Zige hesitated for a moment and blurted out, "How do you know ......?"

"Guess." Mu Lixuan glanced at her deeply, the corners of his mouth relaxed, and said, "I entered the palace yesterday, and when I saw Gao Zhen dismounted and walked before he arrived at the palace gate, I took care of that horse. He must have liked this gift very much. ā€

Zige lowered his head and looked at his fingertips in silence. After a long time, tears dripped and silently sank into her skirt, but a faint smile slowly unfolded on her face.
