Chapter 12: Reflection

"Is it better to drink the medicine?" A calm, unwavering voice sounded from the study.

"Back to the prince, the slave and maid are fine." In the study, Li Muyuan replied.

If others just listened to the voice, they felt that the prince was quite sympathetic: and the two people in the study were all on an equal footing, and even Zhu Changxun poured her a glass of water.

Li Muyuan took the water and took a sip. Zhu Changxun said calmly: "Gen Ji has always been so unruly, and I heard that I was sick when I came back this time." ”

He paused, then added, "He's not bad-hearted, and he's quite nimble. ”

Li Muyuan said yes with a dry smile. In her heart, she slandered that the young man in blue was not bad-hearted, and she was in favor of it, but his mind was flexible... She didn't see much of it.

"There have been a lot of changes in the court these days. In the past few days, the emperor has also suffered a cold in the palace, and in the early dynasty, who knows that the emperor has not woken up. ”

His inky eyes lowered for half a minute, as if looking at the tea leaves floating in the teacup.

"The one who has replaced the emperor in dealing with court affairs these days is the father-in-law named Wei Jinzhong."

Wei Jinzhong? Is it the father-in-law who organized the minister to support the crown prince to ascend the throne?

She asked, "Does the emperor trust him so much now?" That... What did the ministers of the court say? ”

"Naturally, there is, but now that the emperor is not in the court, who are they talking to?" Zhu Changxun picked up the teacup and took a sip of warm and bitter tea, his voice was still as calm as the expression on his face.

It was as if it was all in his expectation.

Seeing that Li Muyuan didn't speak again, he said again: "I went to visit the emperor in the palace after the morning today. ”

Li Muyuan raised her head and wanted to hear him continue, but Zhu Changxun asked her with a curvature at the corner of her mouth: "What do you guess I saw the emperor doing when I entered the palace?" ”

She shook her head. How did she know what Zhu Changxun was doing when she entered the palace and saw the emperor, but when she heard him ask like this, I am afraid that the emperor is pretending to be sick and doing other things.

"I saw that the emperor was indeed lying on the bed, but the wood carving he exposed next to the gold silk quilt was not carefully hidden." Although he was laughing, the smile never reached the bottom of his eyes, and even his voice did not have a trace of waves.

Li Muyuan couldn't help but imagine the comical scene of the young emperor holding the unfinished wood carving in his hand, and hurriedly hiding in bed when he saw the emperor's uncle coming to visit.

"Poof." Seeing her laughing, Zhu Changxun looked at her with some surprise, and Li Muyuan realized that she had lost her temper, and she embarrassedly restrained her expression.

But when she thought about it again, she always felt that something was not quite right.

She said with a little confusion, "No... If the emperor is so ridiculous, then he is killing you these days, and trying to plant eyeliner left and right around you... If he doesn't care so much about the affairs of the court... How could you have thought of doing that..."

Zhu Changxun's hand habitually clasped the table, and said calmly: "Maybe these thoughts were all thought of by Wei Jinzhong?" ”

Li Muyuan was stunned for a few seconds, and felt that this reason was reasonable. It still seemed a little strange, but she couldn't think of anything strange for the time being.

……

Now Li Muyuan gradually feels that Zhu Changxun is not so terrifying and terrifying. She still had a handsome face as always, but it didn't seem like she had ever been intimidated since that time.

Buckle buckle ...... The two of them looked out of the door at the same time, only to hear the voice of the prince at this moment: "Lord Wang, Miss Li." King Xin has come to the palace, and... also named Miss Li. ”

Faith King? What did he come to her for?

Thousands of question marks flashed in Li Muyuan's mind, and when she saw Zhu Changxun looking at her with an inquiring expression, she spread her hands to show that she didn't know.

"Since I'm looking for you, you can go." Zhu Changxun continued to drink tea, but the hand that lightly buttoned the table had stopped. The voice was calm and unwavering, and she didn't even give her another look, obviously giving her an eviction order.

When Li Muyuan came out of the door, she saw that the princess was already waiting for her outside the door at the moment.

On the way, the princess cautiously and tentatively asked her what she had to do with King Xin. She had no choice but to say helplessly, she had only seen King Xin once at the banquet that day.

The prince obviously didn't believe it, but he was almost in the hall and didn't ask anything more.

Before entering the hall, I happened to see a pink-shirted girl shaking her waist exaggeratedly, holding the teapot that should be a little hot in her hand.

"Believe in the prince... The slave maid will pour you tea~" I only heard the maid say in a delicate and tender tone, and when she walked to the steps, Li Muyuan also saw her slender waist quietly moving a few points to the king of letters.

After seeing it, the prince was even more angry and blew his beard and glared. It was a pity that he did not have a beard, and I saw that those eyes were staring at the maid quite widely, and the steps on his feet were a little heavier.

And King Xin was quite embarrassed to take the tea poured by the maid at this time, and saw Li Muyuan coming over outside the hall, as if he had seen a savior.

He placed the teacup on the table next to him and stood up, a smile like a spring breeze on his face.

When Li Muyuan saw him stand up, she saluted him with Wang You, and Zhu Mingsi, the king of letters, hurriedly helped her up. And now it is a little embarrassing, Li Muyuan is a subordinate, and it is obviously unreasonable to sit in the hall for the master at this time.

At this time, the prince proposed at the right time that it was better to go to the garden for a walk, anyway, there were no female dependents in the palace at this time, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

Zhu Mingsi smiled and thanked Wang You, and then motioned for Li Muyuan to follow him to the garden.

The maid still wanted to lead the way, but Wang Youyi grabbed her arm, and said with a smile: "Where are you going, we still have to entrust you with something." ”

……

When the two of them arrived at the garden, the garden had been re-trimmed shortly after the rain, and the flowers were even more delicate.

"Today is the king's presumptuousness, and I hope Miss Li is not strange." The two were silent for a long time, and Zhu Mingsi spoke first to break the silence.

Li Muyuan couldn't imagine why King Xin came to the palace to see her, wasn't it to enjoy the garden that she hadn't finished visiting last time?

But he replied politely: "The prince is polite, the slave and maid have to thank the prince for relieving the siege last time." ”

Zhu Mingsi's temperament is like a jade person, and when he saw her say this at this time, although he also knew that it was a polite remark, his smile became more and more dazzling.

"The king didn't help much last time." He also said with some apologies.

Li Muyuan saw that he hadn't explained what he was looking for her for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and her words were silently faster: "Anyway, thank you to the prince." ”

……

Zhu Mingsi saw that she was wearing a light pink plain dress today, and she had a double-ring bun on her head at will, and there was no excessive decoration except for two light pink bead flowers.

On a very delicate little face, a few sparse short hairs fell mischievously on the forehead, and under the eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes like stars were quietly looking at the jade begonia flowers in front of them at this moment.

Although he still had an elegant and gentle smile on his face, his heart was full of thoughts... The face that he had missed and recalled countless times in his heart gradually coincided with the delicate little face in front of him at this moment...

"You... How are you doing? ”

"Huh?" Li Muyuan didn't react, and looked up at Zhu Mingsi suspiciously.

And she was stunned when she saw Zhu Mingsi's picturesque eyebrows, and the eyes that seemed to be filled with guilt, longing, and other emotions looked at her affectionately.

Zhu Mingsi saw the eyes that he had dreamed countless times looking at him suspiciously. He quickly reacted, and after lowering his eyes, those emotions that Li Muyuan couldn't understand were all hidden in his heart again.

"This king said that the girl looks very much like an old man of this king." Shin Wang explained with some embarrassment. Seeing him explain like this, Li Muyuan couldn't ask anything even if she was confused in her heart, so she only whispered.

When the two of them walked under the Yutang tree, King Xin stopped, turned around and asked Li Muyuan, who was two steps behind him, with a smile: "I don't know the girl's preferences, and this king didn't bring any gifts this time." ”

Li Muyuan hurriedly said that there was no need to be so polite, who knew that Zhu Mingsi was very interested in her preferences, and she was willing to give up if she had to inquire about it.

Li Muyuan had no choice but to perfunctory give out her preferences one by one.

Zhu Mingsi saw that he had already inquired about the preferences of the beauty, so he suddenly said goodbye to Li Muyuan with a happy face. Only Li Muyuan was left stunned in place with a question mark on her face.

Before leaving, he saw that Zhu Mingsi, who had already walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and then looked back at Li Muyuan and showed a smile upside down.

"Ahhhh I laughed at the letter dynasty! ”

"Nonsense, where is you smiling at you, this is obviously smiling at me!"

Li Muyuan was startled by the woman's slightly sharp voice, and when she turned around and saw the Yutang tree, the two pink-dressed maids were arguing.

She sighed, and left with a mixture of incomprehension and helplessness.

……

After that day, Wang You couldn't resist his curiosity and asked Li Muyuan what the king told her.

Li Muyuan had no choice but to retell what King Xin said that day with a helpless face, but there was an episode where King Xin said that she was like an old man.

Wang You's heart choked, and he secretly said in his heart that this Miss Li must be a big man with good means.

Not only did his own prince take her to the study for three days and two days to drink tea and chat, but even King Xin seemed to be fond of her... Phew, it seems that she also has something else in mind about her, and the means are really quite good...

Gradually, Wang You's eyes looked at Li Muyuan more and more admired.
