As soon as the young man heard the word "report to the official", his legs trembled with fright, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Don't arrest me and report to the official, don't arrest me to report to the official, my father will only be killed if he is caught in prison." ”

His eyes were full of fear, and he didn't want to repeat his father's mistakes.

"What's your name? Why would you choose to steal something? Mu Lingyun asked curiously.

The boy replied, "I...... My name is Zhang Yuan. My parents are dead, and now I am lonely and have no skills, so I can only do this kind of stealing and touching dogs to fill my stomach. ”

Zhang Yuan looked at a few of them pitifully, hoping that they could let him go with compassion.

Mu Lingyun frowned, this thief's background was also quite pitiful, she couldn't help but feel sympathy for him, so she asked, "Do you really have no skills?" ”

"Really, I don't know what to do, it's better to use the stolen ones faster." Zhang Yuan seemed to be very reasonable, but Jin Shaoming felt that this was a reason for him to be lazy.

"I think you don't want to make progress, and you want to rely on this kind of indiscriminate tricks to eat with your mouth." Jin Shaoming scoffed at him.

"If I ask you to come to the prince's mansion as a domestic servant, are you willing?" Mu Lingyun came out coldly.

Jin Shaoming on the side was taken aback: "Yun'er, this person has a stubborn temperament, if he goes to the prince's mansion, if he steals other people's things, wouldn't it be infinitely harmful?" Jin Shaoming was a little excited, and he clenched Mu Lingyun's wrist. He didn't want a thief to sneak into the prince's mansion, which might cause some unnecessary trouble.

Mu Lingyun believed in this Zhang Yuan, judging from his face, Zhang Yuan was not the kind of person who was fierce and evil. If you can educate this person, it can be regarded as a pleasure to help others.

"Thank you for this lady's kindness, Zhang Yuan is very grateful." Zhang Yuan's eyes were red, this was the first time he had received such a deep trust from a person, everyone met in Pingshui, but this woman could help him, which made him very moved.

"Then you can come with us." Mu Lingyun smiled easily, she also hoped that Jin Shaoming would not have such a deep prejudice against this person.

The group came to the bean curd stall, and Mu Lingyun ordered four bowls of chilled bean curd without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, four bowls of bean curd were served, and the bean curd was still bubbling with cold air. However, Yan Qing and Zhang Yuan both stood aside and did not dare to sit down with them.

Mu Lingyun looked up at the two of them and beckoned them to sit down: "What are you two doing over there, sit down and eat together!" ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" Yan Qingyi said in a righteous manner, this is in the capital, and the most important thing is three, six, nine, etc., the division between master and servant. He also knew that his status was humble and that he could not exceed the rules.

"What are you afraid of, it's outside!" Mu Lingyun gave Jin Shaoming a look.

Jin Shaoming coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Yan Qing, sit down!" ”

Even the prince spoke, and Yan Qing and Zhang Yuan both obeyed his orders and sat down. Mu Lingyun snickered secretly, sure enough, the words of the prince were more effective, and they didn't listen to what she said as a woman.

"Here, try it." Mu Lingyun opened the honey jar and scooped a spoonful of honey into Jin Shaoming's bowl of bean curd.

Jin Shaoming raised her eyes, looked at the bean curd in her bowl, and directly scooped several spoonfuls of the bean curd in her bowl and put it into her own bowl.

"Jin Shaoming! My bean curd! Mu Lingyun shouted.

A smile appeared on Jin Shaoming's face: "You are pregnant now, and you can't eat too much cold things, so let me solve it for you!" ”

"Nonsense, I'm in good health! I have one more in my belly, and I should eat two servings. Mu Lingyun was angry, because she hadn't come to this bean flower stall to eat for a long time.

She was ready to strike again and scoop the bean curd from his bowl. Unexpectedly, Jin Shaoming pressed her wrist.

"My good Yun'er, don't be angry." After Jin Shaoming finished speaking, he clasped the back of her head with one hand and landed a light kiss on her forehead, which was regarded as an apology for her.

The hot temperature swept by, Mu Lingyun's face turned red, she didn't expect Jin Shaoming to be like this. It's just that now there are only them sitting at the table on the bean flower stall, and only Yan Qing and Zhang Yuan saw such a sweet scene between the two of them.

Mu Lingyun finally obediently scooped up his half bowl of bean curd, the sweet bean curd, it made people feel very soft and glutinous and refreshing, it was still a familiar taste, and he didn't feel tired of eating it. Sometimes, she thinks that the delicacies of the mountains and seas are not as delicious as this bowl of bean curd!

"Do you remember the first time I brought you to eat bean curd?" Mu Lingyun said suddenly, her eyebrows and eyes crooked.

Jin Shaoming nodded and said: "I remember, I didn't dare to eat spicy at that time, but later I was attracted by the spicy taste, and I ate the whole bowl of bean curd clean!" ”

Jin Shaoming still remembers this vividly, he couldn't eat spicy food in the first place, and it was Mu Lingyun who opened up a new world.

Mu Lingyun couldn't help laughing, "You are still the first person I met, who said that he didn't dare to eat spicy but ate so many spicy food!" ”

As soon as the words fell, she vaguely felt that the little life in her stomach seemed to be squirming, "Yutang, the child seems to be kicking my stomach!" Excitedly, she pulled his hand over and gently placed it on her abdomen.

It was quiet for a while, and Jin Shaoming was feeling the movement of the fetus in her womb. But the palm of the hand still can't be touched after all. He couldn't help but slowly squat down and put his ear to her stomach.

"It's really moving, I can feel it......" Jin Shaoming said ecstatically, he had forgotten that it was outside.

Mu Lingyun hurriedly pulled him up from the ground and said softly, "Let's wait until I go back and listen slowly." ”

The full moon hung high, and there was silence in the prince's mansion.

Mu Lingyun didn't forget that she was going to prepare a birthday gift for Jin Shaoming, and when the man next to her snoring sounded, she quietly got out of bed, put on a plain white brocade robe, and sneaked out of the door.

The soft moonlight shone on the side of her face, and she gently pushed open the door to the study.

By the light of the moon, she lit the candle on the desk. Mu Lingyun spread out the rice paper, rolled up his sleeves, and was grinding patiently, sharpening the knife without cutting wood, and grinding the ink first before he could draw a good picture.

She picked up a brush and drew on the rice paper. Although she hasn't painted for a long time, because she practiced the most before is this ink bamboo, so, when she puts down the pen, it is quite handy, compared to plum blossoms, this ink bamboo is much easier to paint. With just a few brushstrokes, the form of the ink bamboo leaps onto the paper.

I don't know how long it took, Mu Lingyun's vision became more and more blurred, and the sleepy insect kept disturbing, causing her eyelids to keep fighting, only to hear a bang, Mu Lingyun's head hit the desk.

Too sleepy, really can't do it, Mu Lingyun fell asleep.

She slept soundly, and in the haze she felt as if someone was tapping her on the shoulder.

"Wake up quickly, you'll catch a cold if you sleep on your stomach like this." A familiar and deep male voice suddenly sounded.

Mu Lingyun opened her eyes suddenly, she was completely sleepy, and the man stood beside her silently.

"Show me." Jin Shaoming stretched out a hand and said to her.

Mu Lingyun was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the half-painted rice paper on the table, only to find that the painting was confused by her saliva, and even some of it had already fainted.

She thought to herself, this painting has been ruined, and it must not be seen by Jin Shaoming. Mu Lingyun hurriedly crumpled the paper into a ball and grasped it tightly in the palm of his hand.

Who would have thought that Jin Shaoming actually raised his hand and stretched out towards her crimson face. Saying that it was too late, Jin Shaoming wiped her cheek with his hand.

"You can't wipe your face clean." He said with a frown.

"Huh?" Mu Lingyun's beautiful eyes blinked, and she suddenly realized that she must have fallen asleep just now when the ink was not dry, and the ink was stained on her face.

"I'm going to wash my face!" Mu Lingyun stuck out her tongue mischievously, she was in a hurry to walk out of the study just to have an excuse to get out.

"You're hiding from me?" Jin Shaoming's eyes were staring intently at the beauty in front of him, and he grabbed her wrist and didn't let her escape.

Mu Lingyun smiled awkwardly, stuck out his tongue and said, "You found out." ”

"Are you going to send me a painting?" Jin Shaoming had already guessed her intentions, and in the past two days, she had been in the kitchen for a while and in the study for a while, fiddling strangely. Tonight, halfway through his sleep, he woke up and found that there was no one around him, so he found himself in the study.

"yes, it's a pity that the painting has been ruined." Mu Lingyun said hesitantly, she didn't have the face to give him the painting that was stained with saliva.

"It's okay, you don't have to be so sneaky, you can just draw another one for me tomorrow." Jin Shaoming's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his eyes were full of pampering.

"Okay." Mu Lingyun had no choice but to agree.

Jin Shaoming suddenly bent over, hugged her slender waist with a pair of big hands, and said in a low voice: "I'll take Mrs. back to rest." ”

"Okay." Mu Lingyun frowned and refused, she snuggled up to his chest, and let him carry him out of the study.

It was late at night, and the two men returned to their rooms.

If it weren't for Mu Lingyun's pregnancy, Jin Shaoming would have wanted to throw her on the bed, but now, he could only gently hold her to sleep.

Next. There are many dignitaries and nobles who came to the prince's mansion to give gifts to Jin Shaoming to congratulate him on his birthday, and the prince's mansion is like a city. Hou Shaoqing was no exception, and sent a jade wrench to Jin Shaoming.

Mu Lingyun also took out the ink bamboo he had drawn and gave it to Jin Shaoming.

"Lord Wang, this is a gift from Yun'er." Mu Lingyun said softly and opened the ink bamboo painting she had drawn. She went to her study early this morning to draw it. After the painting was finished, I was in a hurry to show it to him.

"Yes, what a good picture!" Jin Shaoming smiled and praised her masterpiece. He thought she could just make grilled fish and dance knives and guns, but he didn't expect that she could also draw a good picture.
