Chapter 3 Calculation

Mu Yunqi did not leave the Qin Palace, but told Chu Yuan, "Your Highness has accepted me as a guest, please help me arrange it." ”

Chu Yuan was still about to ask His Highness's opinion, when Situ Jing walked out and said, "This king has agreed to her staying, you can arrange it." ”

Mu Yunqi glanced back at him, nodded to him and thanked him, and then left with Chu Yuan, Situ Jing looked at her background and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

This woman is no longer his playmate when he was a child, and now she has grown into a slim girl, she can now be her wife, which was promised to him by her mother before her death, for so many years, no matter how many women he has, the position of concubine has always been reserved for her. But now that she is back, she seems to be disdainful of herself, whether it is just because she offended her last time, or because she was lightened today, he doesn't know, but he knows that since Mu Yunqi is back, he will never want to escape from his palm.

Chu Yuan took her to a remote courtyard on the west side, this small courtyard has a single courtyard, only three rooms of the main house, no ear rooms and wing rooms, the east and west are courtyard walls, and there are small flower beds planted on the east and west sides, the whole small courtyard is closely lined and chic, before entering the door, Mu Yunqi noticed the plaque on the courtyard door: Yunshui Yuan.

After Mu Yunqi settled down, he walked around the palace of King Qin, and unconsciously turned to an elegantly arranged courtyard, in which rockeries are uneven, mixed with small pavilions or rattan tables and chairs, and there are water pavilions and terraces in between, which can be described as a step by step.

Not far away, a pair of maids surrounded by a beautiful woman walked through the road behind the rockery, and the sharp-eyed maid saw her and scolded loudly: "Who dares to enter the inner courtyard?" ”

As soon as Mu Yunqi heard that it was the inner courtyard, she guessed that it should be the place where Situ Jing's women stayed, and she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the beautiful woman: "Gongzi is a friend of His Royal Highness, how can he go around unaccompanied?" ”

Mu Yunqi turned around and bowed his head and said: "Here is His Royal Highness's newly recruited guest, I didn't know how to enter the inner courtyard when I first arrived, and I ask my mother to forgive me." ”

When the woman heard her call herself "Niangniang", she laughed and said: "How can there be a Niangniang in this courtyard, Your Highness has neither a concubine nor a side concubine, who dares to bear the title of 'Niangniang'." ”

Mu Yun didn't dare to raise his head, and said, "I don't know, please don't blame Madame." ”

The woman smiled, "Look up." ”

Mu Yunqi didn't know what to do for a while, and he struggled for a long time before he reluctantly raised his head. Seeing her appearance, the woman unconsciously exclaimed, "It's so beautiful." Mu Yunqi hurriedly lowered his head.

The woman continued: "I didn't expect His Highness to invite such a beautiful prince as a guest, can you often come to the inner courtyard to sit when the prince has nothing to do?" ”

Mu Yunqi didn't know how to answer, Situ Jing's woman was so bold that she dared to recruit a man to sit in the inner courtyard. After thinking for a while, he said: "Don't dare in the next, retire in the next." After speaking, he turned around and left, not giving the person behind him half a chance to speak.

This matter quickly reached Situ Jing's ears, "Mrs. Jia dared to invite Yun Murong to the inner courtyard, is she tired of staying in the palace?" Send her to Yingchun Garden, and she will not be redeemed for life. ”

Chu Yuan said anxiously when he heard his arrangement: "She is General Zuo's sister-in-law, and doing so will offend General Zuo." ”

"General Zuo has done so many things on the border, and the time has come to atone for his sins." Situ Jing said arrogantly.

"Your Highness......", Chu Yuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Situ Jing raising his hand, "I'm just a puppet of the Mu family." ”

"Your Highness, you didn't do this for Miss Mu, but now that she has come back, she doesn't recognize that she is related to you, and you say that you are not at a loss."

Situ Jing glanced at him and said, "This king is willing. Chu Yuan was helpless to see him so persistent.

Mu Yunqi turned around and changed into women's clothes and sneaked into the inner courtyard again, she also had to know herself and her opponent for Situ Jing, this time she walked into the depths unimpeded. The construction of this inner courtyard is very exquisite, and every place is a landscape painting, Mu Yunqi can't help but sigh that this Situ Jing is really a person who can enjoy it.

When Mu Yunqi was sighing at the scenery, a shout came from not far away, "You tell Your Highness that my brother-in-law is General Zuo, and he dares to send me into the Qinglou, and my brother-in-law will not let him have a good time." ”

Mu Yunqi walked up to him but saw the beautiful woman he had just met, and only listened to the person who escorted her say: "You openly cuckolded His Highness, how could His Highness spare you." ”

The woman snorted and said: "Which woman in this inner courtyard has stopped, which woman has no background, hasn't His Highness always turned a blind eye, what's wrong today, I moved his prostitution?" That kid is indeed ...... charming", at this time she inadvertently saw Mu Yunqi, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide and couldn't speak, everyone looked at Mu Yunqi and it was no better, how could there be such a bewitching woman in the palace.

Mu Yunqi saw that everyone looked at him and felt that it was inconvenient for him to stay here, and he disappeared with a jump, everyone rubbed their eyes and thought that they were wrong, and when they saw that there was really no figure, they looked at each other to confirm that they were not dazzled just now. Mrs. Naja didn't come back to her senses for a long time and was taken away.

Mu Yunqi understood why the master wanted to assist the King of Qin by himself, obviously Situ Jing couldn't even figure out how the women in his inner courtyard could stand in the court, maybe there were others, just like the master said that he was at odds with Prime Minister Mu on the surface, but in fact he was controlled by Prime Minister Mu, which was also the fundamental purpose of the master to ask himself to assist him.

Mu Yunqi did not go down this time, but walked around on the roof of the Qin Wangfu before returning to the room, she found that getting along with women is indeed not her forte, just meeting this woman makes her feel like a chicken flying and a dog jumping, it seems that she will walk more on it and less on the bottom in the future.

When she returned to the room, Chu Yuan was already waiting there. When I saw her, I came back and asked, "Where are you going?" No trespassing is allowed in the palace of King Qin. ”

Mu Yunqi was not surprised to see his women's clothes, thinking that Situ Jing had already told her who he was, so she said: "I didn't trespass, I just went up there and looked." ”

Chu Yuan sneered and said disdainfully: "How can Mrs. Najia be punished if you don't trespass." ”

Mu Yunqi thought about it and asked, "You mean the beautiful lady who invited me to the inner courtyard, I saw that she was going to be sent to the Qinglou?" ”

"Yes, it's all because of you."

"She hooked up with a man, she was to blame, what does it have to do with me?"

"Are you a man?" Chu Yuan retorted when he saw her dead duck's mouth, he saw that Mu Yunqi no longer spoke, and continued: "These women in the inner courtyard of His Highness all have backgrounds, to put it mildly, His Highness can't afford to offend these women, and now that he has offended General Zuo because of you, shouldn't you think about it?" ”

Mu Yunqi looked at Chu Yuan and said, "You came to me to hold grievances for your Royal Highness, right?" ”

"Can't you see Your Highness's heart for you?" Chu Yuan was really anxious for His Royal Highness.

Mu Yunqi glanced at him, then sat on the edge of the table, and said while pouring water: "What kind of affection, we were both young when we separated, and now how can we say that we have affection when we return, it can only be said that it is just an obsession." ”

She took a sip of water and continued, "This time I just came to help him on the orders of my master. ”

Chu Yuan snorted and said: "Helping Your Highness or helping your Mu family, Your Highness has been willing to be a puppet of the Mu family for so many years in order to let you come back, and now you, the eldest lady of the Mu family, are actually saying that you are coming back to help him, it is ridiculous." After Chu Yuan finished speaking, he felt that he had talked a little too much, and hurriedly said: "I'm done with this, I will leave first, and His Royal Highness will ask you to wait for him in the study tomorrow morning." ”

As soon as Chu Yuan left on his front foot, Mu Yunqi got up and closed the door and changed back into men's clothes. She thought about Chu Yuan's words while changing her clothes. Her grandfather has always been a careerist, but his ambition is not supported by his father, who does not want to be his pawn and marries his mother, and her grandfather is so angry that he disowns him and no longer recognizes his identity as a son of the Mu family. Several uncles had the same ambitions as their grandfathers, but their talents were far inferior to their fathers, which was why my grandfather was always reluctant to reuse them.

Later, my mother became pregnant, and my grandfather pinned his hopes on himself, but who knew that he gave birth to a girl, although he did not drive his father out of the house this time, he did not want to see his mother and himself. Mother and Concubine Chen have a very good relationship, Concubine Chen Yunxiang has an only son, Situ Jing, since Mu Yunqi was born, she has been engaged for her son for life, but this family affair has not been approved by His Majesty the Emperor and grandfather.

When his parents and Concubine Chen were alive, Mu Yunqi often played with Situ Jing, and it can be said that they grew up together. But a plague took the lives of her parents and Concubine Chen, Mu Yunqi became an orphan without a father and mother, and her grandfather didn't want to see her even more, and sent her to her mother's master to learn medicine. And Chu Yuan said that Situ Jing had been a puppet of the Mu family for so many years, and he was using her to restrain Situ Jing, she rubbed her temples, and couldn't figure out why Situ Jing was so persistent, and she couldn't figure out why Mu Zhiyuan wanted to control Situ Jing, whether it was because of the marriage contract or because only Situ Jing's maternal line was the weakest and easy to control.

Mu Yunqi got up early in the morning of the second day, and she didn't know when Situ Jing would go down to court, so she waited outside his study early.

After Situ Jing's reign, he usually went to the military camp first, because the Mu family assisted him in obtaining control of the city defense army. In other words, the Mu family can control the control of the entire capital through him. The city defense army patrols the capital every day, and it seems to have become the eyes of the Mu family in the capital.

Situ Jing regularly reported to Mu Zhiyuan, the grandfather of the Mu family, the secrets of every official mansion in the capital.

When Situ Jing came back from the barracks, it was almost dark, and when he saw the person standing outside the door of the study, he felt an inexplicable burst of joy in his heart, but this joy did not last long, and when he approached, he found that the person was leaning on the pillar and napping.

Situ Jing looked a little angry, and then Chu Yuan stepped forward and pushed Mu Yunqi awake. Mu Yunqi raised his eyes and saw Situ Jing standing not far from Chu Yuan, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "See Your Highness." ”

Situ Jing walked into the study with an "um" sound, Mu Yunqi and Chu Yuan also walked in, Situ Jing sat behind the desk and asked, "What is the matter with looking for this king?" ”

After seeing the ceremony, Mu Yunqi just wanted to say, "Wait outside for a day at your behest in the next place", but she thought about it, was this Situ Jing testing her, and turned her head to look at Chu Yuan, seeing that he was holding back a smile and understood, it turned out that Chu Yuan was teasing her.

She didn't move, but said: "I want to follow His Highness, I hope His Highness can give him an errand." ”

Situ Jing didn't even look at her, but casually picked up the half-read book on the table and asked, "What?" The Mu family sent you to spy on me so soon? Not long after I accepted the city defense army, I really didn't have much information for Mu Zhiyuan. ”

Mu Yunqi raised his head and looked at Situ Jing, it turned out that what Chu Yuan said was true, the Mu family gave him the city defense army, so that he could help them obtain all kinds of information about the Beijing officials, once it was discovered, it was only his intention by King Qin, relying on his status as a prince, no one could do anything about him, at most he would be dismissed.

The Mu family used her to play a good move, but in her opinion, she and Situ Jing may not be easy to use.

Mu Yunqi did not rush to answer Situ Jing's question, but looked up at him directly, the former brother Jing took care of her so much, took care of her so much, and the trials and tribulations of the world today sharpened his heart.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Situ Jing couldn't help but raise his head to look at her, and when he saw her staring straight at herself, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, she didn't like herself, how could she look at herself so directly.

At this time, Chu Yuan coughed and recalled Mu Yunqi's thoughts, Mu Yunqi saw that he was out of shape, and he was not embarrassed, but said with a straight face: "I came on the orders of my master, and it has nothing to do with the Mu family, as for the relationship between my master and the Mu family, it is not clear below, maybe it is the arrangement of the Mu family, maybe not." ”

"What order did your master give you?" Seeing that she was not shy, Situ Jing was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart.

"Master, he wants me to come to your Highness's aid."

At this time, before Situ Jing could speak, Chu Yuan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't believe her words, you don't know that he was not sent by Mu Zhiyuan to spy on Your Highness." ”

Mu Yunqi turned to look at him and said, "You are right, there is a complete possibility, because My Highness and I are both chess pieces in their hands, and how to jump out of the chessboard and kill our own chess game depends on how we do it." ”

Chu Yuan said disdainfully: "Don't be us, your surname is Mu, and you are not with us." ”

At this time, Situ Jing finally spoke out to stop their quarrel and said: "I believe her, she is also a person abandoned by Mu Zhiyuan, how can she be with him." He looked straight at Mu Yunqi, and Mu Yunqi did not retreat, and said firmly with his gaze: "Yes, Your Highness understands me." ”

After Mu Yunqi returned to his room, he realized that he had not eaten for a day, and her body was fed by the medical god Hua Fengtian with the most sophisticated medicinal food, not to mention that she did not eat for a day, even if she did not eat water and food for half a month, she would not be able to live, and the master said that a strong body is the capital of self-protection.

In addition, she also has a lot of unique secret recipes, some of which her master doesn't know, and she is definitely better than the blue in terms of medical skills.

She took out a satiety pill, and the day's meal was solved.

Situ Jing returned to his dormitory alone, the Valley Residence, and dismissed all his subordinates, leaving him alone in bed and pretending to sleep. At this time, a black figure walked in, saluted and said, "Miss Mu has been waiting outside your study for a whole day, and she has never left half a step, nor has she eaten Dimi. ”

"Who made her wait there? Or is she herself waiting? ”

"It's Chu Yuan, yesterday, Chu Yuan went to Yunshuiyuan, and when she left, she asked her to wait outside the pavilion master's study today."

Situ Jing nodded, then waved his hand to signal that he could go down. Situ Jing leaned on the bed and rubbed his temples, this Chu Yuan was a straight brain, as if he was afraid that he would be eaten by the Mu family.
