Chapter 54: Trouble
The maid silently served delicate refreshments, and the atmosphere in the whole hall was a little awkward.
An Xian sat on Mu Jiangbei's right side and shook her two white and tender calves, looking unhappy, "What does Uncle Mu mean, do you want me to marry that waste?" β
"Father didn't mean that." Mu Xue hurriedly explained, she knew Mu Jiangbei's temperament, and it was more difficult for him to be with this unruly little princess than to kill him, "It's just that this is a royal marriage contract after all, and there is no will, and we don't dare to withdraw from the marriage." β
"Hmph, my father, queen and mother love me so much, even if I cut it first and then play, they won't blame me!" An Xian's small nose curled, and she pouted and said unhappily, "I want this princess to see, is that waste who doesn't want to get out of the marriage!" Don't think that if the queen mother presses me, I can really eat swan meat! β
"This ......" Mu Xue looked at Mu Fen pleadingly, this kind of thing, she still didn't want to be a spearhead bird.
"Little princess, my second brother has just come back, and we don't know his attitude. Why don't you wait for him to come over? Mu Fen smiled slightly, and he was exquisitely engaged in dealing with people, and pushed the pot clean.
"Then why hasn't he come yet, is he unwilling to see Princess Ben?" An Xian raised his snow-white chin, "I remember that he acted like a fool, he wouldn't not know the way, right?" β
Mu Xue and Mu Fen glanced at each other when they heard this, and forced a smile, although An Xian spoke mercilessly, but he was talking about Mu Shi, so he had no intention of justifying.
"Although Mu Shi is dull, he still knows the road." The clear voice came from the door, An Xian was stunned for a moment, and turned her head curiously to look at the source of the sound. So a young man dressed in white broke into his eyes, beautiful as jade, with beautiful eyebrows and starry eyes, looking forward to Yeran.
Between the walks, the faint wind element was jumping mischievously, so the long black hair fluttered slightly, and the slightly immature face carried a faint pride, as if it was a foreign object of wind and dust, not mixed with dust.
Accustomed to seeing the appearance of the children of the family, An Xian was suddenly attracted by this different young man, and his eyes lit up, "Who are you?" I've never seen someone like you in the Mu family? β
Mu Shi walked to the center of the hall and stopped, bent down slightly and saluted, "Below is the waste that the little princess said in her mouth, your nominal fiancΓ© - Mu Shi." β
"Huh?" An Xian's eyes widened, and she opened her mouth in disbelief, looking very cute in surprise, "Wouldn't it?" I remember being a fool. "Not to mention the little princess, even Zhao Junyao was taken aback, although he had already received the news from the intelligence that Mu Shi had returned to normal, but it was still very unacceptable to really see it.
"Mu Shi was lucky, he accidentally fell off a cliff and hit his head, but he regained his common sense." Mu Shi smiled slightly, not making any fuss about the little princess's rude words.
"You're in luck!" An Xian couldn't help but admire, "Not only did I not fall more stupidly, but I also returned to normal." After that, he walked down and walked around Mu Shi, as if he was looking at a commodity, "It's really changed so much, I can't even recognize it." β
Mu Shi closed his eyes and chuckled, "I heard that the little princess came to see the grass people, thank you for the princess's love." β
An Xian choked when she heard this, and was a little stupid, "Ahem, don't think that this princess will marry you if you return to normal!" Hmph, there are more geniuses who want to marry this princess. β
Mu Shi sighed softly, this little princess is really pampered, she has no scheming at all, she can say whatever she wants, and she is really a child. "Mu Shi knows that his strength is low and he has no talent, so how can he hope to marry a princess."
"It's almost there, if you're not stupid, you have self-knowledge." An Xian patted Mu Shi's shoulder with satisfaction and waved at Zhao Junyao. Zhao Junyao immediately took out a piece of paper and handed it to the little princess, on which a lot of words were densely written, which seemed to be like a contract.
The little princess took the paper, held it up in front of Mu Shi, and ordered, "Well, I have written the divorce letter, you can just write a word." Rest assured, as long as you sign, the benefits I give you are not good. Mu Jiangbei and Mu Ze's faces changed a little, but they didn't expect this little princess to play a straight ball, leaving no room at all. Mu Fen and Mu Xue's eyes flickered, and no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
Only Zhao Junyao looks like he is watching a good show.
Seeing the little princess's arrogant expression of giving alms to civilians, Mu Shi's smile slowly faded, she took the paper, glanced at it, grabbed it slightly, and the black and white paper turned into fragments and scattered one after another.
"Mu Shi! You are presumptuous! Zhao Junyao immediately reprimanded, but was stopped by the little princess with a wave of her hand, An Xian's cute pretty face sank, and stared at Mu Shi tightly, "This princess gave you face to the Mu family, and then came to communicate, it seems that you don't want to talk well?" β
Mu Shi smiled slightly, not afraid at all, "Little princess, if this is written by His Majesty, then I will naturally sign it." β
"You!" An Xian stomped her feet angrily when she heard this, if this was written by her father, she wouldn't have to run out secretly at the risk of being scolded. "Don't you listen to Princess Ben's orders?"
"I'm sorry, this marriage contract was concluded between His Majesty and the Mu family, and if there is no will of His Majesty, it is a crime of deception." Mu Shi shrugged, "The little princess doesn't have to worry, I don't want to marry you!" β
"What are you talking about!" The little princess was so angry that her face turned red when she heard this, "What do you think you are, and it is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes to get the marriage contract of this princess!" β
"Then I don't like you princess~" Mu Shi stretched his voice and smiled strangely, "Don't you know that the little princess has liked your brother before?" β
"What?" The little princess was stunned, and suddenly remembered what happened three years ago, and suddenly the whole person was not good, and screamed, "You pervert!" I'm going to tell my father to kill you!" β
"Mu Shi, Hugh is presumptuous!" Mu Jiangbei's face was pale, but he didn't expect Mu Shi's mouth to be amazing, fortunately, there are not many people here, otherwise the Mu family's face will be lost again. Mu Xue on the side also changed her face, glanced at Mu Shi with a little fierce eyes, and immediately closed her eyes and returned to her well-behaved appearance.
"Tsk, I didn't expect that Young Master Mu Shi's appetite is so good and unique~" Zhao Junyao covered his face with his hand slightly, and he was surprised.
Mu Shi glanced at Zhao Junyao, hugged his arm with one hand, touched his chin with the other hand and said with a smile, "Yes~ Shouldn't Young Master Zhao already know?" Speaking of which, Young Master Zhao is also very good-looking, which suits my appetite~"
"You ......" Zhao Junyao was speechless with disgust when he was Mu, and he had goosebumps, and he couldn't say a word. Although Mu Shi looks so good that he has to praise him now, he has no interest in breaking his sleeves at all!
"Enough!" The little princess stomped her foot and glared at Mu Shi viciously, "Since you like men, why don't you agree to withdraw from the marriage!" β
Mu Shi turned around and looked at the little princess innocently, "I naturally want to, but it's a shame to be divorced by the woman, Her Royal Highness the princess should know how shameful it is to be divorced by the woman in Sui'an Continent." β
β......β
"Or, can Your Highness accept that I, a waste and a pervert, have you withdrawn your marriage contract?" Mu Shi looked at the little princess with a smile on her face.
"Impossible! You deserve to divorce me! An Xian gritted her teeth, "Don't be complacent, your Mu family refuses to dissolve the marriage contract for a day, and don't think about having a good time in the imperial capital!" β
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is just a private matter, so why should it be involved in the court." Mu Jiangbei spoke in a deep voice.
"Hmph, my father has been dissatisfied with this matter for a long time, and your Mu family has not solved it for a long time, don't you have any points in your heart?" An Xian raised his snow-white chin and said proudly. Her words obviously stabbed Mu Jiangbei's sore spot, and if it weren't for the royal family's hint of pressure, he would not have agreed to the Elder's proposal.
"The tree is old!" A report came from afar, and the originally arrogant little princess immediately changed her face, and glanced at Zhao Junyao, who also had a bitter face, "What should I do!" Didn't you say you could fool for a while! β
"We can fool for a while, but we've wasted it here for a long time." Zhao Junyao replied helplessly.
"What's the use of you!" An Xian glared at Zhao Junyao, Mu Shi on the side saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but be a little funny, this little princess seems to be rude and willful, but when she is afraid, she really doesn't know what kind of character this tree old is.
Mu Jiangbei and Mu Ze had already gotten up to greet them, only to see an old man with crane hair and a childish face walking in vigorously, saying a few words to Mu Jiangbei and the others, and immediately flashed in front of the little princess, grabbed the back collar of the little princess, "Run?" Do you still want to run? β
"Grandpa Tree~" The little princess changed her normal behavior and looked at the old man pitifully, "An Xian just came out to play~"
"Come out and have fun, you believe in your evil when I believe in you?" The old man known as the old man looked at the treasure in his hand angrily and funny, "I don't know your little thoughts!" Your Majesty has said that this matter will be handled by the Mu family, why are you in such a hurry. β
"Hmph, I'm just not happy! You don't know how those girls of the aristocracy laugh at me behind my back! An Xian's eyes turned red and he hummed aggrievedly.
"Alas......" Shu Lao is responsible for protecting the queen's children, naturally knowing that these little princesses have been ridiculed since they were young because of this marriage, and they have been pampered, and her sisters are also making a big fuss about this matter behind their backs, which is almost the psychological shadow of the little princess. Now when I heard that Mu Shi was back, I couldn't wait to dissolve the marriage.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell the queen." Shu Lao hugged An Xian in distress and coaxed, An Xian smiled at this time, "This is what Grandpa Shu said, don't lie to people!" β
"Of course! When did Grandpa Tree lie to you. Shu Lao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that An Xian was not crying, and glared back at Zhao Junyao again, "But you can't help but tell your father if you condone His Highness's nonsense." The corners of Zhao Junyao's mouth twitched, and he nodded sneeringly, secretly complaining in his heart that the pain outweighed the loss.
After all this, Shu Lao's eyes fell on Mu Shi, who had been silent.
In an instant, Mu Shi's body tensed, the pressure on her from this old man was even greater than that of the great elder Mu Ze, and his strength was unfathomable!
"You're Mu Shi, right?"
