The Aloof Prince Chapter 28 - Deliberately Adding Walls

Lu Gonggong`s line of sight then went to the vase fragments, soon after thinking deep he touched his nose.

“It seems that this old slave had come just in time to give this decree.”

Lu Gonggong looked at Mu Yunjin who was holding the imperial edict, and turned to address Mu Xiang.

“The Sixth Prince himself asked the Emperor to bestow a decree for this marriage. It just shows how the Sixth Prince particularly want this marriage to happen. Therefore in this two months, I ask Xiang Ye and Xiang Madam to take good care of the Third Miss. By all means not let any accidents happen, otherwise the Sixth Prince and His Majesty, will not be magnanimous.”

Lu Gonggong finished speaking, he looked at everyone and cupped both hands and bowed in ceremony, then he excused himself out. Looking at Lu Gonggong`s retreating back, Mu Yunjin faintly raised her eyebrow, this old fellow is a little interesting. Just then his words are a warning for Mu Xiang and Su Biqing.

At the side, Mu Lingzhu, from the moment Lu Gonggong`s finished reading the decree, her whole body trembled, her face deathly pale, she had been fighting back her tears, her head is buzzing, she could not sense anything else. A full eight years... she had liked Chu Li for a whole eight years, but now, the Emperor has bestowed a marriage.... Chu Li will actually marry Mu Yunjin! She lost, in spite of everything she still lost!

“Zhu`er.”

Su Biqing noted Mu Lingzhu`s strange behavior, and glances at the decree, slightly grit her teeth. She thought that Mu Yunjin would be dead today, she did not expect that halfway the decree bestowing a marriage will come.

Mu Xiang at this moment, has a lot of things in his mind, he looked at the bright yellow imperial edict, feeling complicated. Today, the imperial edict has been pa.s.sed down, Mu Yunjin is about to become part of the Royal household, he could no longer offend this person. Thinking of Yiyang`s injury, Mu Xiang felt his breath stuck on his throat, suffocating him. This is the first time he felt like his teeth got knocked out and tasted blood, really vexed. Mu Yunjin coldly looked at the three people infront of her, she slightly narrowed her eyes, finally she looked at Mu Xiang.

“Father, are you not going to kill me? you can now begin.”

Mu Xiang was flabbergasted, an obscure anger rise up again, facing Mu Yunjin he heavily snorted, then he reached out to point at her.

“To have this kind of evil daughter is this family`s misfortune!”

Seeing this, Mu Yunjin laughed cynically, although her eyes are smiling, but concealed within them is a glint of cold anger.

“Since there is nothing else, I will be going back to rest. I accompanied the Sixth prince for tea all afternoon, so I am really tired.”

After speaking, Mu Yunjin yawned, and walked to the direction of the Listening Flower Pavilion. When Mu Yunjin left, Mu Xiang suddenly slumped on the ground, panting slightly and creased his brows, sighing from time to time. Su Biqing watched the scene, and tightly pursed her lips, hesitantly talked.

“Yunjin that child, just met the Sixth Prince a few times, and is already not attaching importance to us. If in the future she becomes the mother of the country, then this Prime Minister Residence....”

Su Biqing does not dare to continue her words. Mu Lingzhu heard Su Biqing, and slowly finished the sentence in her own mind. She firmly bit her lips, looking meaningfully at the direction of Su Biqing. Su Biqing`s eyes met Mu Lingzhu, then smiled knowingly, soon after, she looked at Mu Xiang comfortingly.

“At this point, excessive thinking is useless, Husband let us go back to rest first.”

“Okay.”

Mu Xiang nodded somewhat strained. Then he got up to leave to the direction of their own dwelling place. When Mu Xiang left, inside the front hall, only Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu remained. Mu Lingzhu looked at Su Biqing, with tears glistening in her eyes.

“Mother, there are still two month before she reach marriageable age, you have to find a way for me to be able to take her place.”

...........

Mu Yunjin has just returned to Listening Flower Pavilion, she immediately took the imperial edict in her hands, she tore it and threw it to the ground. Zi Xiang saw this and got stupefied, she immediately crouched down to pick up the pieces of the imperial edict.

“Miss, you don`t fear for your life, even daring to tear a decree.... What!? To confer marriage..... to Sixth Prince?”

Zi Xiang saw the vague writing from the pieces of the edict, she was astonished. She was stunned for a long time, then Zi Xiang suddenly cried out.

“Miss, This decree is granting you and Sixth Prince marriage?”

Mu Yunjin heard her, she lifted her eyes and coldly glanced at Zi Xiang.

“You can still recognize the letters...”

“Congratulations Miss, Congratulations Miss.”

Zi Xiang cannot conceal her smile, towards Mu Yunjin she is really happy. Mu Yunjin is about to be driven mad, she turned to go inside the room and tightly closed the door. She lunged head first to the couch. Blame her own cheap mouth, why did she have to mention that bird blindness! This time she just gave herself straight into trouble. Still, that Chu Li is also very impulsive, can`t he just wait for his anger to disappear before he make a decision! Mu Yunjin stopped thinking and heavily sighed.

Dawn the next day, Mu Yunjin was fast asleep when several twittering birds woke her up, she pensively opened her eyes, only to hear Zi Xiang`s laughter from outside her bedroom as well as many twittering birds. Hearing this birds, Mu Yunjin immediately got up, put on her shoes, and walked to the door. Mu Yunjin opened the bedroom door, to see Ding Xian and Zi Xiang standing at the courtyard. Zi Xiang is carrying a birdcage, inside are several crested myna. Seeing the little birds inside, Mu Yunjin`s eyes suddenly dimmed. Ding Xian caught sight of her actions, he immediately ran up to her, and respectfully addressed Mu Yunjin.

“Third Miss, these crested mynas, were sent by the Sixth Prince.”

“Chu Li sent them?”

Mu Yunjin slightly narrowed her eyes, she does not understand what Chu Li is planning.

“Yesterday, the Sixth Prince accidentally injured those crested myna, upon returning to the palace, he recalled the Third Miss said that the Listening Flower Pavilion is gloomy. So he ordered me to send you some crested mynas.”

Ding Xian explained. Mu Yunjin heard what was said, her eyebrows wrinkled. She is even more angered, even if Chu Li killed those birds yesterday, sending her this birds today, is he deliberately adding walls for her?

DingXian seem to remember something, from the inside of his sleeves he pulled out three pieces of paper banknotes, and handed them over to Mu Yunjin.

“Today is the third day, these are the 30 thousand gold worth of banknotes. Third Miss, take this to the bank to exchange into silver taels.”

Mu Yunjin listened, and glanced at the bank notes on Ding Xian`s hands, she is inwardly pondering, if she received this banknotes, that jade would completely belong to Chu Li. But if she does not accept, the Jade would still be with Chu Li, and it is unlikely that he will easily return it to her. She paused, encircling her arms, she slightly raised the tip of her brow.

“These banknotes, I want Chu Li to give it to me in person.”

“Yes, Third Miss.”

Ding Xian din not say anything else, knowing Mu Yunjin for a few days, he knows that this Third Miss is very likely to make arrangements of her own, without any choice, he can only agree. When Ding Xian left, Zi Xiang happily looked at the birdcage in her hands, and walked toward Mu Yunjin.

“Miss, The Sixth Prince is really attentive towards you. He especially found some birds to relieve you of your boredom.”

“This crested myna`s which were sent for my amus.e.m.e.nt, is obviously sent to warn me.”

Mu Yunjin sighed, and walked back into her bedroom. Zi Xiang is puzzled, she hanged the birdcage in a branch at the side, then followed Mu Yunjin inside.

“It is reasonable to say that the miss marrying the Sixth Prince is a happy occasion, but why do this servant feel that the Miss seems to be unhappy?”

Zi Xiang looked at Mu Yunjin who was siting the dressing table, she picked a wooden comb, and helped her sort her hair into a bun. Mu Yunjin hooked her lips into a smile and faintly spoke.

“To separate from the Prime Minister Residence is a happy occasion, but marrying into the Royal Family is not necessarily a good thing.”

“Makes sense, in light of the Sixth prince`s natural apt.i.tude, it is extremely possible that he will be conferred the t.i.tle of Crown Prince, and ascend the throne as an emperor. When that time comes, Miss will become the Mother of the Country. You will certainly have many worries. Just in the Harem, there will already be a lot of crafty plots and machinations....”

Zi Xiang while chattering suddenly felt Mu Yunjin is making sense in feeling that way. Listening to Zi Xiang babbling far ahead, Mu Yunjin helplessly laughed, with her free nature, the imperial palace will definitely not suit her. After dressing to presentable clothes, someone knocked on the door of the Listening Flower Pavilion. Zi Xiang immediately went out to open the door, she saw Aunt Li standing on the doorway.

“Aunt Li, It`s you.”

Zi Xiang looked at the person who came, slightly dumbfounded, then her little face turned cold.

“Aunt Li why have you come here?”

Aunt Li arrogantly looked at Zi Xiang, she pushed her to the side, then went inside. Mu Yunjin who has just walked out from her room, saw this scene, she cannot help but sneer.

“What wind blew for Aunt Li to come here?”

“This slave was ordered by the Madam to wait on the Third Miss before your marriage. I have especially come to teach the Third Miss some basic rules and etiquette.”

Aunt Li replied. A person sent by Su Biqing, Mu Yunjin reckoned that this woman is once again plotting something. The she laughed.

“Since Aunt Li has come to teach me etiquette, then how come I don`t see you paying your respects to me? No matter what, I am the Third Miss, inside this residence, I am still your master.”

After speaking, Mu Yunjin addressed Zi Xiang.

“Go and get me a chair.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Zi Xiang immediately ran to the side. Mu Yunjin then sat down, she indolently yawned, she crossed her legs. She leisurely looke at Aunt Li.

“All right, Aunt Li please start.”

Aunt Li upon seeing this, her mind began to wonder, This little s.l.u.t is really different than from before. Previously whenever she saw her, she will avoid her, but today even daring to let her greet. But thinking about it again, Aunt Li remembered Su Biqing`s orders, so she could only clench her teeth, putting on an act, she moved her body.

“This old slave, pays her respect to the Third Miss.”

“Oh? That was a greeting?”

Mu Yunjin looks puzzled, and knitted her brows, thinking hard for a bit.

“No, No. Last time you did not pay your respect toward my fourth sister like this.”

Finished speaking, Mu Yunjin once again gestured.

“Aunt Li, the last time you bent your waist it was much lower than that.”

Aunt Li lifted her eyes, she saw Mu Yunjin`s hands on her knees and looking at her with mocking eyes. She glimpsed on Mu Yunjin`s eyes a flash of crafty glint. Aunt Li immediately understood, this little s.l.u.t is deliberately teasing her. But at this moment, she could not refute anything that Mu Yunjin says. After a while, Aunt Li closed her eyes, might as well just do it, kneeling down, prostrating, giving Mu Yunjin the huge ceremony.

“This slave pays her respect to the Third Miss.”

Upon seeing this, Mu Yunjin cried in alarm.

“Aunt Li is an elder in the Residence, such a big ceremony, Yunjin does not dare to accept!”

“Zi Xiang, go and lend an arm to support Aunt Li.”
