Chapter 12: The Uninvited Guest
The weather is exceptionally sunny, the sun is fine, like broken gold scattered, and the autumn is a rare good weather.
King Yu lifted their grounding, and the guards at the door withdrew, leaving only Yan Jiu to live in.
Mu Wangge's physical cultivation returned to normal in two days, and Mu Bangshang and Yan Jiu were privately called sisters, as long as they were sincere, Yan Jiu was very hearty and easy to get along with.
In order to avoid Qiu Niang, she didn't go out of the house for the past two days, and she has been in the courtyard like a prison.
Mu Elegy was full of complaints, and listened to Yan Jiu say that although the hibiscus in the lotus pond are dilapidated, the prosperous Turui in the garden is blooming, and the swings are very elegant.
The three girls decided to go out together and take a walk.
Shangyang Annexes is the prince's courtyard, and the garden here is comparable to the imperial garden, with carved railings and jade masonry, and gorgeous pavilions are scattered.
The flowers in the garden are beautiful, and there are many exotic flowers and plants, such as Qiruxia.
The two sisters sat on the swing together, and Yan Jiu pushed the swing beside her.
The scented wind swept across the nose, with the fragrance of flowers, and the whole person's mood became cheerful, sweeping away the haze for many days, and King Yu did not embarrass her anymore, and it was rare to enjoy a moment of comfort.
In the distance, a beauty dressed in a lake blue costume, with dark patterns of gold and silver thread on the cuffs, a good appearance, a graceful temperament, and a good-looking Danfeng with half-squinted eyes, looking at the three people in the garden.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old delicate young woman dressed in a green dress on her side, her eyebrows tightened and said, "Miss, isn't that Miss Yanjiu?" Who are the two women next to her? It's so charming. β
Wen Zhen's eyes were dyed with a faint frost color, "They should be the concubines that the prince gave to his cousin." Yan Jiu usually ignores me. It can be seen that the cousin must be very fond of these two women. β
Jin'er raised her eyebrows, pulled Wen Zhen up and said, "Miss, let's go over and give them a dismount." β
Wen Zhen didn't move, "Forget it, it's not good to let my cousin know that I'm a jealous woman, let's go!" β
Jin'er looked around, frowning in annoyance, "I don't know where the housekeeper went, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye." β
Wen Zhen couldn't help but think in her heart, they came to the garden because they didn't know the path, and the housekeeper disappeared for no reason, even if she didn't like to feast on the barbarian women.
With Jin'er moving lightly in the direction of the third girl, Yan Jiu's ears moved slightly, hearing the sound of footsteps in the distance, and the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of Wen Zhen's master and servant, but he didn't expect them to find the prince's mansion.
"Banquet Guard!" Wen Zhen smiled skillfully, and there was no trace of displeasure in his voice.
"Miss Table, how did you find the garden when you were looking for the prince?" Mu Bangshang concluded from Yan Jiu's eyebrows and eyes that she had a holiday with the woman in front of her.
Jin'er saw that Yan Jiu was not polite, and wanted to argue but was stopped by Wen Zhen, "The prince's courtyard is too big, and we are separated from the housekeeper." These two are: β
"They are the prince's concubines."
Wen Zhenming's eyes were full of water and said with a light smile: "It turned out to be two younger sisters, and there are two younger sisters to take care of my cousin." β
Mu Bangshang was stunned, in that speech, it was clear that she was the hostess, and she had never heard of King Yu having a fiancΓ©e, so she pulled Mu Wangge off the swing, and Ying Ying saluted: "I've seen Miss Biao." β
Wen Zhen stepped forward to help the two daughters up, looked at them carefully, and praised: "The prince is really attentive, and the two younger sisters are really beautiful, which is really enviable." β
Mu Bangshang could hear Wen Zhen reminding Yan Jiu that the two of them were sent by the prince to King Yu's side.
"My sister's makeup is delicate and fairy, and the prince will be happy to see it."
Wen Zhen felt very comfortable hearing this, "Banquet guards, it's not early, take me to see the prince!" β
Yan Jiu hesitated a little, the prince ordered her to protect Mu Wanshang's safety, but she went the same way, but across a corridor, she hated Wen Zhen very much, and the people of the Wen family could not be completely offended for the time being, "Miss Biao, please." β
Several people were on the same road, seeing that the young lady of the Wen family did not like their sisters very much, there was only a corridor between the two courtyards, Mu Bangshang and her sister went back to the courtyard first, and Yan Jiu took Wen Zhen and the maid Jin'er to see the prince together, and it only took a moment to go back and forth.
The two sisters went back to the bedroom together, and opened the door to see a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin figure, a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and a sophisticated look in his eyes.
The housekeeper handed her a note, saying that it was given to her by Qiu Niang and left.
Mu Bangshang was a little afraid in her heart, she couldn't hide, and unfolded the note, which said, King Yu will attend a banquet in Qianjiao Pavilion tonight, Qiu Tong wants to see her, if she deliberately dodges, she will destroy the Gu flute.
At this time, King Yu was playing chess with Li Ge, and Xuanyuan got a not very good news, "The board has arrived, the prince has asked us to go to the banquet in the evening, if you don't want to see him, don't be embarrassed." β
"If I don't go, I won't lose the face of Silla, and I will be the prince of Silla."
Outside the door, Ye Zheng said: "Lord Wang, Miss Wen asks to see you." β
Li Ge immediately got up to say goodbye, Xuanyuan stretched his eyebrows and sank coldly, how could Wen Zhen run to the prince's courtyard. I have sent someone to tell my uncle that the two families should try not to meet unless they have to.
"Come in!"
Wen Zhen flew in alone, and said with a light smile: "Zhen'er has seen my cousin." β
"What are you going to do?"
Wen Zhen saw Xuanyuan's extremely depressed eyebrows, and his voice was also very cold, he was looking at her face, the mist in his eyes instantly condensed, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he complained: "My cousin came to the capital for a few days, didn't you think of coming to the General's Mansion to have a look?" Grandpa misses you very much. β
Xuanyuan didn't want to see his grandfather, so he naturally had his plans, "Zhen'er, I still have important business, so I should go back to the general's mansion as soon as possible, so as not to worry my uncle." β
Wen Zhen saved her courage and secretly ran to see her, daring her to leave without saying a word.
I was annoyed in my heart: "Cousin, but I forgot the agreement with my father." β
Xuanyuan only felt that women were very troublesome and didn't want to explain too much.
"Ye Zheng, send Miss Biao back to the General's Mansion."
Mu Elegy heard that King Yu took the two sisters to the banquet in the evening, and Li Ge would also go. Dressed up in front of the bronze mirror.
Seeing that Mu Bangshang's makeup was halfway through the painting, facing the bronze mirror, his eyes were confused, and his heart was heavy.
"Sister, the prince's carriage is waiting outside, why don't you dress up, but it's to see Qiu Niang."
Where did she know her suffering, "I'm worried about the Gu poison on our bodies, and if we don't go for a day, we will be controlled by others." β
On the carriage, Mu Bangsheng was dressed in a bright red dress, outlining a graceful figure, a snowy posture, Zhu Dianjiang lips, and impeccable makeup.
Only the misty eyes were like fog, and he looked carelessly at the endless flow of people shuttling on the street outside the window.
Yan Jiu had already informed Xuanyuan of the note, knowing her intentions, and her dark eyes were like ripples in a waterhole.
"It's too ugly to have a bitter face."
Hearing King Yu's cold sarcasm, Mu Wanshang retracted his eyes, how did the cold-blooded King Yu know his difficulties, the helplessness of life and death being controlled by others.
"Just close your eyes."
Xuanyuan was extremely heavy-eyed, he didn't have the leisure to pay attention to the woman's emotions, now they are all the way, he wants to protect her safety, "If the prince's people look for you, you say that this king made you do that." β
Mu Bangsheng's expression froze, "In that case, the prince will know the idea of King Yu to enter the account book again." β
"A lot of people have the idea of making accounts again, which one got it."
Mu Bangshang suddenly knew that the prince had already known that King Yu would make the account book one by one, but he just put the things that everyone knew on the table. Since it was looking for the account books, it was naturally not found. It also buried the news that the account books were obtained. She's safe, too.
