Chapter 11: The Lady-in-Waiting

Mu Xuan looked at Mo Li and said, "You don't have to live in the Water Pavilion in the future, you can be my personal maid." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Mu Xuan's words, Mo Li didn't react for a while, "Personal maid? Can you not do it? Of course, the latter sentence Mo Li could only think about it in his heart, and did not say it.

Looking at the reluctant look, the corners of Mu Xuan's mouth twitched a little, almost no woman has been able to enter his body for so many years, let alone the existence of a personal maid, but today somehow, he had a good impression of such a pure girl who was not polluted by fame and fortune, and gave such a special case, even he himself was taken aback when he said this, but the woman opposite was still reluctant, and it is estimated that no one will believe it if this matter is said.

Mu Xuan sighed and continued: "My personal maid is paid thirty taels a month. ”

I just heard that Mo Li entered the mansion for three taels of silver, so Mu Xuan said tentatively.

"Ah, thirty taels, I'll go, I'll go."

As soon as he heard the salary of thirty taels, Mo Li's eyes lit up, and he rushed to go.

"Thirty taels can buy a lot of good things, which can make grandma's life a little better."

Mo Li's low voice made Mu Xuan's heart tremble: "It turns out that her ideal is so simple, just to make her family live a better life, this woman is really ......"

As a prince, how could he ever care about a mere thirty taels of silver, even if three thousand taels were placed in front of him, Mu Xuan would not have any change in his expression, but it was this thirty taels of silver that made her so happy, Mu Xuan sighed secretly, and then shook his head to reveal a helpless expression: "When did I even compare to a mere thirty taels of silver." ”

In the days to come, Mo Li followed Mu Xuan's side, and whenever he went, the people around him saw Mo Li standing next to Mu Xuan as if they had seen a ghost, and then saw Mu Xuan's expression of tacit agreement, and almost pulled out his eyeballs and fell to the ground, indicating that he had seen something incredible.

Everyone else looked at Mo Li with envy, but only Mo Li knew that she was really in dire straits at this time.

"Li'er, go and fetch my clothes. Go and make me a cup of tea. Li'er pinched my legs. ...... Leaving the Child"

Mo Li was summoned over, looking at Mu Xuan's smug expression, he almost gritted his silver teeth, thinking that it was really the same heaven and earth as the previous days in the Water Pavilion.

Forget it, for the thirty taels of wages, she endured it.

As the days passed, the estrangement between Mo Li and Mu Xuan gradually faded, and sometimes it was common to joke with each other, or even scold each other. Mu Xuan also likes this wonderful person around him who is full of reality and does not pretend to be like others.

It would be great if the days went on like this, but the moon was cloudy and sunny, people had joys and sorrows, and happy days were always short-lived.

A year later, this happy day was finally interrupted.

"Your Majesty, Huayuan sent someone to send a document, wanting to marry my Mu country, and the other party specified that the object of marriage was the third prince Mu Xuan, and the minister didn't know how to reply, so I hereby came to ask the emperor." An old minister knelt in the court to report.

"What do you think of Xuan'er?" An old man wearing a dragon robe with silver hair but in high spirits sat in the court and spoke slowly, this is Mu Zhengyun, the emperor of Mu State.

"The minister believes that Yu Gong, Huayuan State is located in a strategic situation, is the gateway to the northwest region of our country, once Huayuan State and Qin State, Chu State joined, my Mu State is also dangerous, and Huayuan State is married, which can not only enhance the relationship between the two countries, maintain peace in the northwest region, but also enhance the power of our country; Yu Private, the minister doesn't want to marry someone he doesn't love, let alone a woman from Huayuan Country. The emperor can let his ministers marry, but at most they are concubines, and my position as an imperial concubine must be reserved for my true love. Mu Xuan said seriously word by word when he said the last few words.

Since Mu Xuan's mother died because of that incident, Mu Xuan no longer called himself a son, and his relationship with Mu Zhengyun has become more and more estranged.

Looking at Mu Xuan, who had an indifferent expression, Mu Zhengyun sighed: "Okay, the prime minister, leave this matter to you, and transfer the attitude of the three princes to Huayuan Kingdom, if they don't agree, they want to unite other countries to put pressure on our country, and tell them that our country is not afraid of war." ”

"Your Majesty, think twice."

Mu Zhengyun waved his hand to stop what the prime minister wanted to say.

"I've already decided, I don't need to persuade anymore, let's go."

"We're Commanding"

Seeing that Mu Zhengyun had made up his mind, the prime minister could only kneel down to receive the order, and secretly thought in his heart that the status of the three princes in the emperor's heart was heavier than he had imagined before, and even did not hesitate to use the strength of a country to protect the three princes with the survival of the country.

However, Mu Xuan did not show a trace of emotion because of Mu Zhengyun's words, as if what Mu Zhengyun said had nothing to do with him.

"The minister retired."

Indifferent words flowed out of Mu Xuan's mouth, and he turned around and left without waiting for Mu Zhengyun to speak.

Mu Zhengyun above the court did not speak out and felt a trace of dissatisfaction because of Mu Xuan's rudeness, but Mu Xuan was called to the court today, which was enough to make Mu Zhengyun feel a little happy.

"Xuan'er, are you still complaining?" Waving his hand and retreating, Mu Zhengyun looked at the empty court hall and muttered to himself. Turning around and walking out, his slightly clumsy body looked a little lonely in the sun.
