The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 704 The Trial of the Great Princess

After finishing speaking, the first princess seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for her to say this, and said: "You know, the little prince Juelin is very popular in the capital, and the emperor and the old concubine don't know how much thought has been spent on his marriage. He ignored it, and now that it's finally settled, this concubine is really curious about the story between Miss Mu and Young Lord Juelin, it must be exciting and attractive, right?"

When the eldest concubine said this, many young ladies immediately agreed, chirping and wanting to hear the story between Mu Jinxi and the young prince Juelin.

Just like what the eldest concubine said, the young prince Juelin is the coveted object of many wives and ladies in the capital. No one wants the young prince Juelin to become his son-in-law. After the age of 16, many people in the capital have visited the palace to find out what the old concubine has said. Unfortunately, the old concubine is interested, but the young prince Juelin has no interest at all. If he doesn't want to, the old concubine naturally doesn't Will force him, and everyone can only wait with regret.

But who knew that after waiting and waiting, when the eldest daughter got married, the youngest daughter was also old, and the young prince Juelin was over 20, what was waiting was actually a marriage bestowed by the emperor!How many ladies and ladies have been disappointed and regretted by this, if they knew it would be worthless in the end, a hypocritical lady who came out of nowhere, they might as well let their master say something nice in front of the emperor earlier, maybe they could sooner Persuading the emperor to make decisions about Jue Lin's marriage will not lead to the current situation.

Although more than half a year has passed since the marriage was bestowed, the two governments have not yet discussed the date of the marriage, so many people are discussing in private that there must be some accident, and this marriage will not work out?Did the young prince Juelin go back on his word?Or did the old princess disagree?

Everyone has already ignited a raging fire of gossip, but no one dared to ask the person involved. Now that it’s all right, the eldest princess asked the question herself, so Mu Jinxi had to answer it. She is not married yet, and her status cannot be compared with that of the First Princess, so if the First Princess asks a question, she can only answer honestly, right?
Mu Jinxi said calmly: "What's the story? Everyone knows that I haven't been in the capital for a long time, and I rarely go out on weekdays. How can I have the opportunity to meet and get to know Jue Lin? And like this It's inappropriate and indecent, although I didn't grow up in the capital, but I have also learned the female commandment and female training, so I definitely won't do anything that is not in line with etiquette."

After a pause, he continued: "My little cousin may be responsible for the marriage in the final analysis. You also know that my little cousin and Jue Lin are good friends. I guess it's my little cousin who said a lot of good things for me, so I decided to give it to you." Let Jue Lin..." Speaking of this, Mu Jinxi showed a hint of shyness in a timely manner, lowered her slightly blushing face, and covered it with a veil, but rolled her eyes when no one saw her .

"Ah, is that all?"

Obviously, it's not just the eldest concubine who doesn't believe it, but also few people present believe it.She is not a fairy-like figure, nor does she have extraordinary talent or outstanding family background. How can it be worthwhile for the little prince Juelin to marry her because of a few words from his friend, and let the emperor give her a marriage?When they are fools, they believe everything they say.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Mu Jinxi didn't get angry, but said generously: "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask my little cousin or Jue Lin. They are also with me today. You've come here, you should be talking with the First Prince now."

The eldest concubine was startled, pretending not to know, and said, "What? Jue Lin also came with you?"

Mu Jinxi nodded and said, "That's right, Jue Lin and my little cousin were worried that if I came to a banquet alone for the first time, I would bump into the nobles in the mansion, so they came here uneasy, but they just came with me. It’s just that the mansion is gone, and then I went to find the First Prince, and didn’t come with me.”

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, secretly surprised in their hearts.

The young prince Juelin has never been to any mansion to attend a banquet, even if it is a banquet held in the palace, it depends on his mood to decide whether to go or not. Did you come to the eldest prince's mansion today?Just worried about Mu Jinxi attending a banquet alone for the first time?Could it be that the young prince Juelin really valued Mu Jinxi so much?
They had heard of it before, but it was just heard. No one had seen it, and they were a little skeptical. Today, they have seen it. Because of this Mu Jinxi, the young prince Jue Lin actually took the initiative to attend the banquet at the First Prince's Mansion, although it was only He came with Mu Jinxi, but it was enough to make people feel surprised.

The First Prince Concubine was thinking about something else. Could it be that Jue Lin had already guessed the purpose of inviting Mu Jinxi to the flower viewing banquet, and he followed to guard against them?But right away, she has denied this possibility. They haven't told anyone about it, only their husband and wife know about it, and they haven't done anything now. How could Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin guess their purpose? Woolen cloth?
After thinking about it, the eldest princess smiled and said: "Look, you still say there is no story, and even came to a banquet so nervously followed, the former Juelin would not do such a thing, you can tell at a glance Jue Lin is so nervous about you, this concubine is very curious about how the two of you met. By the way, Miss Mu, I heard that you were in Taohua Town before you came to the capital. This concubine remembers Jue Lin I have also been to Peach Blossom Town before, could it be that you two met at that time?" The words of the First Prince Concubine were full of temptation.

But Mu Jinxi looked at the eldest princess in surprise, and asked back: "What? Jue Lin has been to Peach Blossom Town? When did it happen? He didn't tell me, I, I really don't know that there is such a thing .”

The First Prince's concubine's face froze slightly, but she recovered quickly, she covered her lips and giggled and said, "You don't understand, Jue Lin probably wants to save face, I think it must have been at that time that Jue Lin Lin secretly fell in love with you, and after you came to the capital, he was so eager to ask for a marriage from the emperor, it's just a man, it's all about saving face, how could he have the nerve to say that he fell in love with you at that time?"

Mu Jinxi looked blank, shaking her head and said: "But this is impossible, although I am from Taohua Town, but in fact I am not in Taohua Town, but in a village in Taohua Town. Even if Lin has been to Peach Blossom Town, it is impossible for him to meet me, could it be that he recognized the wrong person?" Mu Jinxi murmured in a low voice at the last part.

Mu Jinxi was sitting next to the first princess, and when she heard what she whispered, her eyes flickered involuntarily.

"Prince Concubine, did Jue Lin himself say that he had been to Peach Blossom Town?" Mu Jinxi asked seriously.

The eldest prince concubine said somewhat evasively: "There is no such thing, I just heard about it. The relationship between Jue Lin and the eldest prince is quite good. I also heard the eldest prince mention it accidentally, and I think of you. Marriage, so just... If Jue Lin didn't say it, forget it, just pretend that I didn't say it, the matter between the two of you, it's better to talk about it in private."

You also know that it's a private matter between the two of us, so it's better to say it in private, so why do you ask?Mu Jinxi's expression remained unchanged, but she complained in her heart.Secretly thinking that this eldest princess is not cultivated enough, she still wants to test herself like this, thinking that she is stupid.

"By the way, this concubine heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Anping is pregnant. I don't know, but it's true?" the eldest concubine asked suddenly, her eyes fell on the young lady of the Marquis of Anping's mansion.

"Back to the First Concubine, my sister-in-law is indeed pregnant, just three months old." Miss Jiang from the Anping Hou Mansion stood up and answered the First Concubine's words.

Not all the young ladies who came to the flower viewing feast today were brides, so it was not impolite for the eldest princess to ask this question.

The First Concubine asked a few more questions. She seemed to be very interested in this topic. Everyone understood after thinking about it. The First Concubine has been married for more than half a year, but she has not yet given birth to an heir. Thinking about it, she is a little anxious It's probably because of this reason that you are so interested in the pregnancy of the eldest daughter-in-law in the Anping Hou's mansion, right?

The eldest princess was asking the lady of the Anping Hou Mansion, while secretly observing the expression on Mu Jinxi's face, if she had really given birth to a child, then she would definitely show some clues when she heard these things, the mother said Yes, maternal love cannot be hidden.

But after some observation, the eldest princess was very disappointed to find that Mu Jinxi's face showed no reaction at all. She was just like the other ladies who hadn't left the cabinet, listening to this topic with a little shyness, but also a little curious , his eyes flickered, a little strange and a little embarrassed.

On Mu Jinxi's face, I really couldn't see anything. After asking for a while, the first princess lost interest in asking further questions, and quickly changed the subject, chatting about some topics that everyone was interested in participating in. Suddenly, the lotus appreciating pavilion It became lively again.

On the way, Mu Jinxi got up and left to go to the hut. She just sat down when she came back. There was a lady sitting next to her. Mu Jinxi remembered that she seemed to be the lady from Taiwei’s family. I met him once at a palace banquet when I was young, and this lady suddenly called out to me, which surprised her a little.

"Miss Mu, I, can I ask you something?" Miss Xu approached Mu Jinxi and asked in a low voice, with her head lowered, and after she finished asking, she glanced at Mu Jinxi nervously.

Mu Jinxi replied with a good temper: "Miss Xu, if there is anything you want to ask, just ask directly, it's okay."

Hey, why do so many people want to ask themselves questions today?Is it really because I seldom attend these banquets, so when I come, these people are so curious that they ask all the words hidden in their hearts?After that, should she properly participate in these activities? After all, she will be in the capital in the future, and it is necessary to deal with ladies and ladies well.

Besides, she is Jue Lin's fiancée and the future princess of Prince Mu's Mansion. She must be out to socialize. I can't let my grandmother come out to socialize when she is old, right? Well, it is also good to walk around with these ladies and ladies. .

Mu Jinxi was thinking in her heart while responding to Miss Xu's words.

After receiving Mu Jinxi's consent, Miss Xu blushed slightly, plucked up her courage and asked with some embarrassment: "Miss Mu, when you passed by me just now, I smelled a faint fragrance of jasmine on your body. I think it smells good, but I don't know what balm you use. Can you tell me where you bought it?"

Miss Mu's hair is black and shiny, hanging down her back and chest. When she passed by just now, a breeze blew, and the long hair behind her rose slightly. It was at this time that I smelled the smell coming from her hair. The fresh fragrance that came out was different from the jasmine balm she usually used, and it smelled better. She has always loved jasmine, so she couldn't help but ask.

Mu Jinxi was a little surprised, she didn't smell incense when she went out today, and she didn't use any body fragrance. How could she smell the fragrance of jasmine on her body?Seeing that Ms. Xu's eyes fell on her hair, Mu Jinxi guessed that it was because she touched some essential oils when washing her hair last night?No way, even if it is, the smell should have dissipated by now, right?
Mu Jinxi really wanted to grab her hair and smell it, but she gave up when she saw the environment she was in.

"Miss Xu, do you smell the fragrance of jasmine on my body?" Mu Jinxi asked.

Seeing her asking this question, Ms. Xu hesitated a little. After sniffing, she nodded and said, "Yes, isn't it the scent from you, Ms. Mu? I shouldn't have smelled it wrong. I like jasmine very much." Scent, so I am more sensitive to this fragrance, even if someone else uses it a little bit, I can smell it, when Miss Mu passed by me just now, I smelled the jasmine fragrance coming from Miss Mu's hair."

It really smells through the hair!

Mu Jinxi smiled and said, "I used a little when I washed my hair last night. I didn't expect Miss Xu to be able to smell such a faint fragrance. It's really surprising. It seems that Miss Xu has a very strong sense of smell."

Miss Xu's oval face turned slightly red, she smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "It's just that I'm more sensitive to the scent of jasmine, why is my sense of smell so strong, my mother often laughed at me and said that there is nothing but the scent of jasmine. I can't smell anything else."

"Mrs. Xu is funny and humorous. She's just teasing you."

Ms. Xu pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Ms. Mu for your compliment." After a pause, she couldn't help but said, "It's just that the jasmine scent on Ms. Mu's body seems to me to be more, purer, just like smelling jasmine flowers. I I’ve never used something as pure as jasmine scent before, where did Miss Mu find such a good thing? I’ve lived in the capital for so long and haven’t found it, I’m really stupid.”

Mu Jinxi hurriedly said: "Miss Xu was joking, and I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. This is something I made up by myself, and I didn't buy it outside. How can Miss Xu find out?"

Miss Xu suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Mu Jinxi, forgetting her shyness, and said in surprise, "What? Miss Mu, you messed with it yourself?"

Seeing that she finally raised her head, Mu Jinxi said deliberately mocking herself: "Miss Xu, you are willing to raise your head, otherwise I would have thought that I was too ugly to scare Miss Xu."

Miss Xu's fair face turned red instantly, she hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head and said, "No, no, Miss Mu, don't get me wrong, it's not that you are ugly, it's just me, it's me, it's my courage I'm too young, I've never been good at talking to people, I, I'm just a little, I don't know what to do, don't get me wrong, I definitely don't think you're ugly, really!"

Mu Jinxi saw that she was a little incoherent, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said, "Okay, I'm just joking with you, there is no other meaning, don't be nervous, I'm just teasing you."

Miss Xu pursed her lips, she didn't know what to say for a while, her face was flushed, she wanted to be coquettish and felt that she was not familiar with Miss Mu, if she did this, she would look familiar, I don't know if she would If she likes it, she won't be angry even more. She thinks it's good that Miss Mu is not angry.She knows her problem, but she is too timid and introverted. If she didn't really want to know about Jasmine, she would never dare to talk to Miss Mu Jin, who has never talked to her before. After all, everyone outside Legend has it that Miss Mu is very arrogant and doesn't care about others.

She was a little uneasy when she spoke, but fortunately she didn't ignore herself, otherwise she really didn't know what to do, how embarrassing it would be if she ignored her words!

Seeing Ms. Xu's shy face, wishing she could find a hole in the ground, Mu Jinxi quickly put away her smile and said generously: "If Ms. Xu likes it, I'll go back and ask someone to send you a bottle to the Taiwei's Mansion. It's a meeting ceremony for our acquaintance, I hope you don't dislike it."

Ms. Xu was startled, she shook her head and said, "How can this be done? How can I accept Ms. Mu's gift? It's too impolite, I can't do it!"

Mu Jinxi spread her hands on purpose and said, "Then what can I do? I made this up by myself, it can't be bought outside, and you like it so much, why should I sell it to you? If I really took your money , others will laugh at me and say that I am greedy and stingy. Or do you not want it?"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Miss Xu's face.It's really not good for her to say that. The evaluation of Ms. Mu from the outside is not very good. If others find out if she gives her money, they will definitely say bad things about her. Wouldn't she be hurt by this? she?

But if you don't want it... She is reluctant, she likes it just by smelling it, and it's the first time she meets someone she likes so much. Before, she always felt that something was not perfect, but she didn't know the problem. Where did it come from? How can I give up when I finally come across one that suits my heart?

Miss Xu was still hesitating, but Mu Jinxi said straightforwardly: "Okay, that's it, it's not worth anything, it's fate that you and I met today, why bother so much? If you think it's not good, If you have a chance in the future, you can give me some gifts back. Or are you unwilling to make friends with me and despise me?"

After Mu Jinxi said so, Ms. Xu felt that if she refused again, she would be a little ignorant, so she agreed and said: "Well, it's settled like this, I will find another opportunity to do it well in the future Thank you."

"Don't take it to heart, it's just a trivial matter. I'll send someone to send it to you after I return home, and tell you the method to use."

Ms. Xu was taken aback, and asked curiously, "Is there any way to use this?"

Isn't it just like incense or balm, just one touch?
"Pay attention, if the method is wrong, the effect will not be so good." Of course, essential oils should pay attention to the method of use.

When Mu Jinxi said that, Ms. Xu became a little worried. What if the person who gave her did not speak clearly, or she misunderstood it?Isn't it a pity to spoil what Miss Mu gave me?

After thinking about it, Ms. Xu still said cheekily: "Ms. Mu, well, why don't I go to Xiao's mansion with you, so that I can hear you tell me the method to use, and secondly, I don't have to bother you What do you think, servant of the family?" After speaking, she looked at Mu Jinxi cautiously, and unconsciously twisted the handkerchief in her hands with a pair of small hands.

Mu Jinxi saw through Miss Xu's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. This Miss Xu is also a person with a clear mind. She is obviously very timid and introverted, but for the things she likes, she insists on taking all her courage. She came out and saw how nervous she was, sweat was about to break out on her forehead, and the veil on her hand was about to be torn off by her.

"Miss Xu, if you don't mind the trouble, there is no problem. I have some other fragrances at my place. If you like it, I can give you some."

Miss Xu's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Well, really."

"Then Mo'er will thank Miss Mu first." Miss Xu said sincerely and moved.

"In this way, we can be regarded as acquaintances, so we don't need to call me Miss all the time. If you don't mind, you can call me Xiaoxi, Jin...Jinxi is fine." Mu Jinxi originally wanted to say that Jin'er is fine, But when the words came to his lips, he thought that Jin'er was called by Jue Lin, so he couldn't help changing his words.

"How could it be? I see that you seem to be a little older than me. Let me call you Sister Xiaoxi, is that okay? You can call me Mo'er, that's what my family calls me." Xu Morou said happily.

"Then let's put it this way. From now on, I will call you Mo'er, and you will call me Sister Xiaoxi. Since you call me Sister Xiaoxi all the time, you can go to my place later. You can't be polite to me, and you can't talk about it anymore." Those out-of-the-ordinary words, otherwise I will be unhappy." Mu Jinxi said with a serious face on purpose.

Xu Morou nodded and said: "Okay, I listened to Sister Xiaoxi, but I also want to give some small things to Sister Xiaoxi, it's reciprocal, but I'm not as good as you, Sister Xiaoxi, I only know some female celebrities That's all, let me embroider a purse or a sachet for Sister Xiaoxi, what do you think, Sister Xiaoxi?"

After chatting with Mu Jinxi, Xu Morou's former restraint gradually put away, and she became more lively, with a more natural smile on her face.

Mu Jinxi didn't say much hypocritical words, and said very bluntly: "Since you want to embroider, why don't you embroider one more, embroider two sachets, I can just use them to hold herbs and so on."

At that time, I will use one for myself and one for Xiaobao. It is summer now, and it is the time when there are most mosquitoes. Although there is incense in the mansion, she feels that it is not good to keep incense indoors. It is easy to provoke mosquitoes, so why not get a sachet for Xiaobao to wear, and put some herbs to repel mosquitoes in the sachet, so that you don't have to worry about it.

Hearing that Mu Jinxi wanted two, Xu Morou didn't think there was anything wrong, and agreed without thinking too much.Making two sachets is nothing more than a trivial matter to me. Sister Xiaoxi doesn't dislike her, and it's too late for her to be happy. The Xiao Mansion doesn't have anything, but Sister Xiaoxi asked her to embroider two for use. She should He must have seen through himself, and he didn't want to make himself feel uneasy about taking her things, so he said that on purpose.

Sister Xiaoxi is really a considerate person, how could outsiders speak so badly of Sister Xiaoxi?Miss Xiaoxi is not arrogant at all, she is very approachable!

"What are you two talking about?"

Xu Morou was thinking in her heart when a voice suddenly came out of her ear, which startled her and made her face change. When she turned her head, she saw Ms. Mo from Duke Mo's mansion staring at her expressionlessly. , she panicked and stammered: "Mo, Mo, Miss Mo, we, we didn't say anything, we didn't say anything..."

Mo Xuerui frowned, and said with disgust: "Why are you stammering? If I'm not mistaken, you are the daughter of the Taiwei, right? Why haven't I heard that the daughter of the Taiwei's family stuttered before? Could it be that she stammered on weekdays?" It was so good that no one noticed it all the time?"

When Mo Xuerui said this, Xu Morou became even more nervous, and stuttered even more seriously, "No, no, no, I, no, I didn't stutter, I just, it was you—"

"Okay, since you're stuttering, don't talk too much, it's going to break your heart." Mo Xuerui interrupted Xu Morou's words honestly and bluntly.

Xu Morou flattened her mouth aggrieved, but because of Mo Xuerui's aura, even though she was unwilling to be misunderstood as stuttering, she dared not speak again. Who would make herself stutter easily when she was nervous?It was because of Miss Xiaoxi's gentle attitude just now that she didn't stutter, but Miss Mo, she looks very fierce...

Seeing that Mo Xuerui was bullying her, Mu Jinxi said righteously: "Miss Mo, Miss Xu didn't stutter, she was just frightened by you, that's why she stuttered for a while."

"Oh? Is that so?" Mo Xuerui looked at Xu Morou suspiciously.

With Mu Jinxi by her side, Xu Morou nodded boldly.

"I haven't done anything, how could I scare her? Is she too timid? Hey, it's really useless, how dare you come to the banquet with such a little courage!" Mo Xuerui sighed.

Xu Morou lowered her head, a little ashamed, she was really timid, people in the family always said so... But this is not what she thought, courage is born, what can she do, and the family Wouldn't it be nice for them to have a brother?It shouldn't matter if she is courageous or not, but Dad always said that she...Really annoying!

"You suddenly popped up and spoke in his ear, can he not be frightened?" Mu Jinxi gave her a sidelong glance.

"Oh, is that so? Well, I'll pay more attention next time. What you were talking about just now seems to be very energetic." Mo Xuerui shrugged and said.

"Oh, it's like this. Mo'er seems to be very interested in that essential oil, so I said I'd give her a bottle. She said that when she went back later, she would follow me to Xiao's mansion. I said I still have it there. There are essential oils with other scents, if she likes, you can also give her some." Mu Jinxi said lightly.

But Mo Xuerui was not happy, she glared at Mu Jinxi and said, "Why are you doing this! If I want some, I have to go to your shop for help, and I only give me some after pestering you, but now you give it so readily This Xu Morou, what do you mean? No, Xu Morou has to get help from your shop, and I will come to Xiao Mansion with you to see it later!"

Mu Jinxi said helplessly: "I don't have anything to do in the shop now, what else can she do when she goes. Look at you, if you like it, you can go and have a look later."

It's just that the people in the family probably won't welcome her too much. Parents and the others know that Mo Xuerui ran after Jue Lin.Mu Jinxi silently put these words in her stomach.

Hearing what Mu Jinxi said, Mo Xuerui was happy, she snorted softly and said, "It's not too bad, if you dare to secretly give things to others, I won't let you go."

Hell, is she still her master?

Xu Morou watched Mo Xuerui and Mu Jinxi talking from the side, and felt that although Mo Xuerui's words sounded a bit unpleasant, but the tone was very intimate... It's just that the outsiders didn't say that the young lady of Mo Guogong's mansion was because of the matter of Jue Lin Is the relationship with Sister Xiaoxi very stiff?It doesn't look like it now, is it another false rumor?And what Mo Xuerui said, what does Miss Xi's shop mean?
Because Xu Morou has a quiet temperament and an introverted personality, there are not many people who have good friends in the capital. She usually spends most of her time in her yard, being a female celebrity, reading books, admiring flowers, etc. Otherwise, she is fluttering butterfly, she has always cared little about the outside world, unless someone tells her, otherwise she really doesn't know anything.

So Xu Morou really didn't know about Mu Jinxi opening a shop in the capital.

"Don't let me go, how can you not let me go?" Mu Jinxi squinted at Mo Xuerui.

Mo Xuerui raised her chin and said: "I'll just pester you, I'll follow you wherever you go, I don't care, but you are different, you are not busy with many things, if I pester you, I think How busy are you?"

"……alright, you win."

At this time, Mu Jinxi deeply felt that she was very likely to be entangled by Mo Xuerui. Although she didn't know why Mo Xuerui's attitude towards her changed, it was obvious that she was going to be with herself. It's spent.

When Mo Xuerui heard Mu Jinxi's words, she smiled proudly. Seeing Xu Morou staring at herself curiously, she stared at her with one look, which shocked Xu Morou again. Seeing this, she herself laughed happily .

The three of them were talking on the sidelines. After a long time, they must attract others' attention. No, even the eldest princess and concubine noticed it, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in her eyes. She felt that Mu Jinxi and Mo Xuerui were really I don't know what to say, when I come to my place to attend a banquet, how can I chat in private there, there are so many people here, don't they feel rude?Have you been educated yet?
"Miss Mu, what are you three talking about interestingly? Why don't you say it so happily? Why don't you say it for everyone to listen to and have fun with you?" The eldest princess asked with a decent smile on her face.

Hearing the eldest princess's question, Mo Xuerui took the lead in answering: "Returning to the eldest princess's words, it's really nothing, it's just some girls' private words, I'm sorry to release it for discussion, so I can only ask in private. Just ask."

Mu Jinxi also said: "Yeah, we can't bother everyone with our own private affairs. We lost our sense of proportion and affected everyone. I'm really sorry."

Xu Morou also wanted to explain, but Mu Jinxi quietly reached out and patted her hand, signaling her to keep quiet, she bit her lip but said nothing, lowered her head, her hands twisted together nervously.

The smile on the eldest prince's concubine's face froze, and then she said nonchalantly: "So, this concubine thought that the lotus appreciation banquet organized by this concubine was too boring, which made you feel too boring, so I said it below. Whispering about yourself."

"The first princess was joking. This lotus feast is very interesting. We have seen so many rare lotus varieties. We are too happy to be happy. How can we feel so boring? We also want to thank the first princess Invitation!" At this time, Mo Xuerui has turned back to that generous and decent lady who is well-versed in books and etiquette.

Mu Jinxi rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, everyone knows that I used to live in a small village, and ordinary lotus flowers were often seen, but those rare and rare varieties have never been seen before. I've met you by chance. Today, thanks to the blessing of the eldest concubine, I have the opportunity to meet you. When I go back, I have to talk to my uncle and ask him to build a pool in the mansion, so that I can see him often. See you soon."

"I'm afraid that if you mention it when you go back, the prime minister will let someone build a pool in Xiao's mansion for you to see. Who doesn't know that the prime minister loves your niece the most." Cao Heying teased, covering her lips.

Mu Jinxi was a little embarrassed by what was said, and she lowered her head slightly and said: "I'm making everyone laugh, uncle always said that my life was too hard before, so, after returning to the capital, I kept wanting Compensate me, even the matter of giving the marriage was decided after discussion between Uncle and Jue Lin..."

Cao Heying showed a suddenly realized expression, and said: "It turns out that the marriage between you and the young prince Juelin was really begged by the Prime Minister for you. Fortunately, people outside said that you and the young prince Juelin have known each other for a long time. .”

Mu Jinxi blinked her eyes, and said straightforwardly: "How can I have known each other for a long time? I have been living in a small village thousands of miles away from the capital. It wasn't when I came to the capital and went out with my little cousin...how could I know the little prince Juelin? The marriage was all begged for me by my little cousin and uncle."

The eldest princess's eyes flickered, and she asked tentatively: "How could Jue Lin agree to your marriage? We all know about Jue Lin, and we won't treat you just because of his relationship with Xiao Xiao..."

Mu Jinxi shook her head and said shyly: "I don't know about this either, I'm a woman, and the elders of the family naturally decide on major matters of marriage, how could I know such details, uncle and parents can say whatever they want. "

"But everyone has seen that you and Jue Lin are often together, and they seem to get along very well. They don't look like someone you just met not long ago." The eldest princess asked again, and she didn't believe Mu Jin at all. Xi said.

How could a person like Jue Lin accept a woman he didn't know at all because of something else, and still take good care of her.

"Well, maybe it's fate. In fact, Jue Lin treated me the same at the beginning, and it didn't mean anything. After we got along a few times, maybe he thought I was okay, so..." Mu Jinxi was very shy He lowered his head, and pretended to cover his face with a veil, as if he was very embarrassed.

After hearing Mu Jinxi's words, everyone had different expressions and reactions, some were envious, some were secretly jealous, and some ridiculed, but they still dared not say anything in front of Mu Jinxi, because the person behind her was the prime minister.

Unable to find a breakthrough here at Mu Jinxi, the eldest concubine moved her target to Mo Xuerui, put on an appearance of an elder, and persuaded her sincerely: "Miss Mo, you heard it too, Miss Jue Lin The relationship between the prince and Ms. Mu is good. From now on, you, just let go of the little prince Juelin. Don’t forget about him. There are many good men in the world. You will meet better ones in the future, so don’t pester him anymore. It’s the little prince Juelin, it’s not good if Miss Mu misunderstands, right?”

A sarcasm flashed across Mo Xuerui's half-downcast eyes, but she said respectfully: "Thank you for the reminder, First Princess, Xuerui understands that Xuerui will pay attention to it in the future, although the little prince Juelin is very good, But Naihe now has a marriage contract with Miss Mu, no matter how ignorant I am, I won’t do anything that I shouldn’t do, I can’t force things about feelings, I was too ignorant before.”

Mu Jinxi also said: "Yes, the eldest concubine, Miss Mo has already assured me that she will not be willful in the future. In the past, she was young and ignorant. Now that she has grown up and understands things, she will naturally I will not do such a thing, and I understand her, and we will get along well in the future."

Who knew that when Mu Jinxi said this, the eldest princess had something to say again.

"Hey, Miss Mu, what do you say, is it true that the old concubine really intends to let Miss Mo enter the mansion as a side concubine?" The eldest princess said in surprise.
