The next day, people in the house began to talk about the West Garden, where the adults took Miss Jin Se back to last night, and stayed in the West Garden for a long time before leaving; After the adults returned to the East Garden last night, they argued with Mrs. for a long time, and the adults went to sleep in anger, and Mrs. sat in front of the lamp and did not sleep all night...... So, some people began to say that I bewitched Lord Mu and made Lord Mu and I have the reality of husband and wife.

These words, true or false, I will not defend them.

Say, then let them speak. I'm just going to make things bigger, the bigger the better!

Sure enough, two days later, Hua Nian took me to meet Mu Zixiao's father, Mu Yuan, and my grandmother Quan.

In Kyoto, it is customary for a man to obtain the consent of the housewife for concubinage, and only then with the consent of the elders. Housewives are big, so many women are quite stressed. But for Hua Nian, she is calm, she is always elegant and decent. I know that it's because Mu Zixiao loves her.

She stood in front of me on the left, smiling faintly, and telling Mu Yuan and Quan about my goodness. Mu Yuan just nodded slightly, and didn't say much. I think he should be worried about the affairs of his second son, so he doesn't bother to ask about his children's marriage. Kwon is over eighty years old and a little confused. She didn't pay attention to what Hua Nian said, she just blindly asked Hua Nian to add a grandson to her quickly.

It seems that coming here is just a formality.

My wedding with Mu Zixiao is scheduled for May 20, which is still a month away.

In this month, I only met Mu Zixiao once.

Only me, Mu Zixiao, and Hua Nian knew what happened after falling into the water that night.

He did carry me back to the room, Zizhu Green Ying was already resting in the side room, and they didn't know about me going out in the middle of the night. Mu Zixiao put me on the bed and wrapped me in a quilt. He helped me take out my dry clothes and prepared to walk away. I hooked his neck and looked into his eyes: "Mu Zixiao, why don't you come to me." ”

"Jinse, let go!" His voice trembled slightly.

"Don't let go! Unless you marry me. "Whose voice is this? I was no longer myself, as if I was outside of my body, looking at someone else. "You like me too, don't you, otherwise why don't you wake up Zizhu and Green Warbler and take care of me yourself?"

"Jinse, obedient ......"

Before he could finish, I leaned forward and put my lips over his. His lips are cold and soft, which is his unique breath. Mu Zixiao, you can see my heart.

However, he pushed me away.

Turn and leave. The back is as tall as before.

When he returned to Dongyuan, he had an argument with Hua Nian. Because Hua Nian insisted that he marry me.

Later, Hua Nian told me that it was the first time they had quarreled in five years since they got married.

Xu was because of guilt, maybe because of loss, for more than half a month after the engagement date, I locked myself in the West Garden and never went out. The food was all served to me in a food box, and I ate very little. Outside, the spring is bright, the warbler is crying gracefully, and the flowers are fragrant, and I am hiding in the room, reading and learning words, I feel that in this way, I am still the carefree Jinse in Fulan Garden.

At this point, I finally know why so many people choose to go back after choosing to leave Fulan Garden.

It's just that I'm unwilling.

When everything around is dark, the world returns to tranquility, leaving only the chirping of insects. I opened the window and melted myself into the night. I looked at the wisteria flowers that had flowed all over the courtyard wall, and they could sparkle and bloom calmly in the night, just like ...... is like Mu Zixiao's wife, Hua Nian.

For the first time in my life, I mutilated myself in front of a person.

Hua Nian was afraid that I would be bored, so he asked a few mothers-in-law and maids to take me out and visit Kyoto. I didn't shirk. After passing through the deep corridor, I found that the mansion was already full of red silk and red lanterns, which were prepared for me and Mu Zixiao!

I am grateful to Hua Nian in my heart, but I can't be happy.

The streets of Kyoto are bustling. It's exactly the same as what is described in the book. Bustling crowds, shouting vendors, and stalls of all kinds...... The world seems to be happy. The green warbler was chirping on the side to introduce me to the major shops, and in her crisp voice, my mood also improved, and I began to look around.

A man in a dark green shirt flashed through the crowd at a rapid pace! That's not ......

I wondered in my heart, but I didn't move.

Following the guidance of the green warbler, I walked into a rouge shop and rummaged through the rouge on the cabinet at will. When the owner of the rouge shop saw the servants behind me, he guessed that I was from an extraordinary background, and immediately came over with a smile on his face. While casually coping with the flattery of my boss, I picked up the bronze mirror by the counter with one hand and slowly tried on the lipstick.

In the bronze mirror, next to the sign outside the store behind me, stood a man with a knife-like face and a dark green shirt. Although I had only met once, the sword in his hand impressed me. I identified him almost immediately.

It's just, what is he following me for? Don't......

I smiled and put down the bronze mirror, ordered a few rouge gouaches with the boss, and slowly walked out of the shop.

I looked at the bustling scene of Kyoto with novelty, satisfying the enthusiasm of the narrator, Midori, who saw that I was starting to pay attention to it, and even more energetically. We walked and looked like this. In the afterglow of my vision, the dark green figure was always there.

After spending most of the day on the street like this, until the sunset was about to set in the west, and my interest was clear, Lu Ying ran to a pastry shop called "Tao Ranxuan" to buy two mung bean cakes, and ran back happily: "Miss Jinse, this is for you, and this is for Zizhu." "Zizhu didn't come today because he wanted to stay in the garden to clean. Looking at the round smiling face of the green warbler in front of me, I couldn't help but admire Hua Nian again, she can teach her subordinates so considerately, she is really delicate to the extreme!

Seeing that I didn't speak, Lu Ying hurriedly said: "Miss Jinse, don't worry, I am using my own monthly rule, this is not the money in the house." Please eat! ”

I laughed out loud and took the mung bean cake.

Seeing this, the green warbler also laughed, opened another portion, and began to eat while walking.

Seeing me looking at her, she embarrassedly wiped her hand on her skirt: "If I eat, it is equivalent to Zizhu eating!" No way, the pastries here are too expensive, and I only have enough to buy two servings a month! She smiled awkwardly at me, picked up another piece, and quickly stuffed it into her mouth before reluctantly wrapping up the rest of the pastry.

I also opened the one in my hand and handed it to her.

"No, no, Miss Jinse, you will be our second lady soon, how can I eat you! Put it away. ”

"Second, second lady?" The corners of my mouth twitched slightly.

"That's right, Madam said, let's not treat you as a concubine, if you marry into Mufu, you will be a lady like her."

Hearing the green warbler say this, I don't know whether to be happy or surprised.

The dark green figure flashed again! I was stunned. Calm down immediately.

"It's okay, I can't eat so many mung bean cakes by myself, please help me eat them!"

"Really? Well, you're welcome! The green warbler's round face smiled, and she stuffed the leftover bag of pastries into her arms, took it from my hand, and took a beautiful bite.

I also smiled and picked up a piece: "Well, it's really delicious!" ”

"Really?" The giggling of the green warbler filled.

I think this may be my truest happiness in Mufu.

When I walked to the gate, there was a family waiting there, and as soon as he saw me, he immediately rushed over to report that it was Ningyuan Wang Chenghao and Mu Zixiao discussing in the front hall and invited me over.

I wondered in my heart, everyone is only under the control of King Ningyuan, Mu Zixiao is equivalent to Cheng Hao's person, they should be discussing the war at this time, but what do you mean by asking me to go over? Although there is no rule in the country that women are not allowed to enter the court, I have no name and no point, and it stands to reason that I should not appear here. Thinking of the embarrassing situation with Mu Zixiao, I didn't know how to take steps.

It's just that...... There is one thing that has to be asked clearly by Wang Chenghao of Ningyuan.

After changing into clean clothes, I told the green warbler to go back to rest, and hurried into the antechamber alone.

At this time, the people in the house were lighting the lamps. In the jumping candle flame, I saw Ningyuan Wang Chenghao sitting in the center of the front hall, his fingers tapping on the armrest of the wooden wheelchair, his face like gossip. The eyes sparkled in the candlelight. Perhaps because of the lights, the color of his pupils didn't look like an ordinary person.

He...... It's really good-looking!

I looked around him, and he didn't have any guards with him today.

Mu Zixiao sat on Cheng Hao's left hand side, his brows furrowed slightly. Hua Nian was next to him, and somehow, I faintly felt that Hua Nian's expression was a little strange, not as calm and indifferent as usual.

When I moved in gently, none of the three people sitting there looked at me, only the two maids at the door bowed to me slightly. I stood on the right, consciously keeping my distance from Mu Zixiao.

For some reason, since the last overboard, I have been less intimate with him than I used to be, and I no longer want to get closer.

Perhaps, I am afraid to see the despicable self from him.

After listening attentively for a while, it turned out that Cheng Hao and Mu Zixiao were talking about the conspiracy of the Rong State in the north, the Guyue Kingdom in the west, and the Qi State in the east. I had heard gentlemen talk about this in Fulan Yuan before - of course, it was the boy's teacher who taught him - it is said that because the Li State has become stronger in recent years, Ningyuan Wang Chenghao was stationed in Beiguan and implemented the policy of opening the granary, whether it is the people of Li or Rongguo, as long as they come to receive grain, they will not return empty-handed, and the people of Beiguan and their love for this purple-pupiled prince call him "Zilong in the world". Even when the people of Rongguo mentioned King Ningyuan, they all admired his broad-mindedness.

This angered the kings and ministers of Rongguo, so they discussed attacking the Li Kingdom. But he was afraid of the prestige of the purple pupil prince, so he united the Guyue Kingdom and the Zhiqi Kingdom together.

It's just that it was half a year ago when I first heard about this matter, and it has been some time since the three countries united, and it has not yet come to fruition, so it must be a rabble. I meditated.

"Miss Jinse, you're here, let's talk about your opinion."

I was startled and looked up to see Cheng Hao looking at me with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
