The Aloof Prince Chapter 23 - To be Calm
Listening to Mu Xiarou`s intention, Mu Yunjin bewilderingly smiled, she cast a sidelong glance to Mu Xiarou,
“Fifth sister, you are only fourteen years old, there are still two years before you reach your marrying age, don`t be anxious.”
Mu Xiarou immediately got impatient, refusing to change her stance in front of Mu Yunjin, she exclaimed.
“Right now, those princes are already looking for a wife, maybe this time they will take a young lady from another household as a wife. If I do not take action, I fear that by the time I reach my marriageable age, I won`t be able to marry a prince.”“Why would you insist to marry a prince?”
Mu Yunjin is unable to make head or tail of this matter. These women, each and everyone of them wishes to enter the Imperial household doors. Certainly, in the Imperial Household life can be very good.
“Third sister, take me with you in at the palace. I promise to be good. I will not hinder you.”
Mu Xiarou gave a pleading look to Mu Yunjin. Ever since birth, her mother the Third Madam, always told her that she is the Prime Minister residence`s concubine born woman, yet she is also this family`s daughter. In this residence with numerous children, she absolutely won`t receive love and attention. In the future, she can only rely on herself, and work hard to marry into the Imperial household. By then n.o.body would look down upon her.
Originally, Mu Yunjin is not favored in this family, so naturally she would not fawn on her. But now it is not the same, even father can`t help but cancel Mu Yunjin`s confinement. So she set her heart on earning her favor. Especially with the impending marriage between Mu Yunjin and the Sixth Prince. Apparently it is already a final matter, at this time, if she did not curry favor on Mu Yun Jin, who will she curry favor with.
On her side, Mu Yunjin already seen through Mu Xiarou`s thoughts. She ma.s.saged her wrist, and thought that if this girl wants to go then she will just take her along. It just happens that she might be able to help shift some attention.
“Then today you will go with me, remember the people in the palace are complicated, don`t make irresponsible remarks.”
Mu Yun Jin directed, Mu Xiarou secretly sn.i.g.g.e.red at Mu Yunjin, only meeting Imperial Concubine Qin for several times now she is actually beginning to lecture her. Just wait, she too without a hitch will marry a prince, she will not fawn on Mu Yunjin again.
..........
Upon entering the Palace, Mu Yunjin is not brought to the Imperial concubine Qin`s residence in Fragrant Harmony Palace, rather she was brought to the frequently used Hall for Palace feast the Qing Huan Palace. She had just set foot inside the Qing Huan Palace, when she heard a lot of talking and laughing inside. At this moment at Qing Huan Palace hall, there are already many people sitting inside. Mu Yunjin skimmed a look, she was able to see many people wearing robes, until she caught sight of Yan Damask Silk skirt as if a lotus blossom, taking a seat among them, it was clear, that Imperial Concubine Qin invited her today to partic.i.p.ate in the banquet.
Mu Xiarou saw this huge spectacle, she realized that now that she is here, she must make use of her time. After Mu Yunjin entered the door, all eyes gathered at Mu Yunjin, many of them have not met her in person. They sighed, all this daughter indeed, is born with good looks, all the invited daughters possess detailed adornment befitting a n.o.ble`s daughter.
“Third Miss Mu, you seat along with the Prime Minister.”
A young palace eunuch went to Mu Yunjin`s side, and she received the seat near the Prime Minister`s seat. Mu Xiang unhurriedly pa.s.sed through Mu Yunjin at the door, he noticed that although recently this daughter is somewhat changed, however this girl still have a bad reputation. His belly suffers no ink stick, today to bring her to this kind of event, he still feel ashamed. Mu Lingzhu sat at the side, after seeing Mu Yunjin arrive, within her eyes appear a burst of gloom and anger.
“Father.”
Mu Yunjin faced Mu Xiang to ask for a place, she sat at one side, both eyes completely calm. Mu Lingzhu sees her and also cast a glance at Mu Xiarou following Mu Yunjin, with a cold voice she said,
“Xiarou, Why did you come?”“I begged third sister to take me to appear to society.”
Mu Xiarou is especially excited, her line of sight settle across the empty seats. Their own father is the prime minister, therefore at the numerous government official seat, they are to sit at the first place. Those who sit at the opposite it is precisely the seat for the princes and princesses. Thinking of it, Mu Xiarou got excited.
Not for long, at the door a commotion was heard, Mu Yunjin followed everyone to look, at the doorway of the Qing Huan Palace hall, several figures walked inside. Headed by a purple clothed figure, his appearance clear and cold, his gait elegant, as he walked slowly to the front. Chu Li took a seat, he swept his lazy eyes directly across facing Mu Yunjin. She was startled, two people gazed in the sky after coming into contact once, they moved their eyes away in mutual coordination. One cold and detached, the other strives to be calm. When Mu Yunjin lowered her head a shadow appeared in front, blocking her light, she looked up again, only to see Chu Qing`s laugh and his face reflects evil and unrestrained image.
“Pleased to meet the third prince.”
Mu Yunjin indifferently muttered, she did not even get up to stand on ceremony. Chu Qing actually did not get angry, merely turned to look at Chu Li, then looked at Mu Yunjin,
“What can I say to make you look at this prince face to face, this prince entered the door but Third Miss only looked my Sixth younger brother, perhaps you mean to ignore this prince?”
To the side, Mu Xiang heard Mu Qing, and seemed to be under the impression that Chu Qing finds Mu Yunjin annoying, he worries and feels like he need to talk to help her out of embarra.s.sment, but Mu Lingzhu took hold of this situation to talk, towards him she shook her head.
“Elder sister nowadays is difficult to deal with.”
Mu Lingzhu grumbled, Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Qing, and squeezed out a smile, taken aback she opened her mouth to speak,
“Who let the sixth prince wear purple clothing, and walk at the front, in that way he is too eye-grabbing!”
Chu Qing listens, and looked down to see himself wearing silver white colored brocade clothes, although the color is not as good as the bright colored purple, silver white can brightly lit a candle flame, it is unlikely to resemble Mu Yun Jin`s explanation that it is unremarkable. Thus he merely said,
“This prince has forgotten, this sentence, beauty is in the eyes of the lover.” “Then does the third prince mean that I am the lover, and sixth prince is the beauty?”
Mu Yunjin leaned against the chair, her heart secretly mocked, her and Chu Li are what sort of beauty and lover. Her wrist hurt, so to be able to endure it as she speaks is already considered pretty good. Chu Qing and Mu Yunjin`s dialogue, was heard by many people seating near them, some who were curious of Mu Yunjin`s ident.i.ty, this time understood everything. So this woman, is the legendary third miss Mu Yunjin. Don`t rumors say that she is cowardly timid and does not know scholarly things? They just saw her speak to Chu Qing in a graceful manner, and not in the least awkward, and nowhere near what the rumors say. It is clear, they are just rumors. It is truly unexpected, Mu Xiang actually has good fortune to give birth to such a good daughter.
“Xiarou is pleased to meet the third prince,”
Mu Xiarou earlier had thought to say something to attract the third prince`s attention, but he seems to only talk to Mu Yunjin so there was no chance to speak. From the third prince and Mu Yunjin`s conversation, the third prince must be a good person to interact, moreover his appearance is also very outstanding, the sharpness of his outline is like an elaborate carving of a general, his pair of frivolous red phoenix eyes are his ultimate charm, his whole body thoroughly exudes imperial aura, how could she not be emotionally affected. Mu Xiarou intimately called on Chu Qing, waiting for his reply, who would have thought that Chu Qing only indifferently wave his hands, and turn around to go to his seat. Mu Xiarou`s face immediately collapsed. Once Chu Qing took a seat, Mu Yunjin raised her eyes to look across the prince`s seats, glancing at Chu Li seated beside Chu Qing, her wrist ached once more.
..........
“The Emperor has arrived--”“The Empress has arrived--”“The Empress Dowager Mother has arrived--”“The Imperial Concubine Mother has arrived--”
The shout sounded on the doorway of the main hall, everyone heard the announcement, one by one they stand, and looked towards the door. Mu Yunjin also stood up, with a faint frown, and looked at a bright yellow flash through the door, she curled her lips at all the VIP present. They wait for everyone to find their place, on the master position on top, Emperor Xi Ming`s voice sounded,
“My loyal subjects, you are all excused.”
Mu Yunjin sat down, carefully looked at the emperor and empress. The Emperor Xi Ming and Empress seems to be both in fifties, the corner of their eyes are already wrinkled. The Empress Dowager Zheng and Imperial Concubine Qin are also seated, they are at sides of the Emperor and Empress, today they are dressed in red, their hair worn in a dignified bun, not one to fall behind the other.
“Today is the usual family feast, my loyal subjects do not need to excessively stand on ceremony, you need not hesitate.”
Emperor Xi Ming raised his cup of wine, as he faced everyone. Everyone raised their wine cup, and spoke in unison.
“Thanking his Imperial Majesty.”
Then, from outside the door, entered rows of palace maids and palace eunuch, as they begin to pour each table with wine and food, not a moment`s effort, each table is filled with good wine and fine delicacies. Mu Yunjin looked at all the dishes in front of her, she was just about to pick up her chopsticks, when she remembered her swollen wrist, holding chopsticks will be difficult. However Chu Li who was sitting across, unavoidably became suspicious. Mu Yun jin simply gave up and using her left hand to pick up a spoon, and start to drink the small bowl of soup in front of her. At the hall, the Empress Dowager Zheng and Imperial Concubine Qin looked at the situation below, their eyes moved, unexpectedly they spoke at the same time,
“Emperor”“Emperor”
Everyone heard the two voices, and can`t help but stare blankly, as they look at the people on top of the palace hall. Emperor Xi Ming heard them both, and also stared blankly, soon after he looked at his own biological mother,
“Imperial Concubine Mother, please speak.”
Imperial Concubine Qin seeing this, cast a provocative look at the Empress Dowager Zheng.
“Emperor son, today, taking advantage that everyone is present, I would like to announce a happy occasion.”
Imperial Concubine Qin smiled, as she glanced at Mu Yunjin and Chu Li. Mu Yunjin caught the look of Imperial Concubine Qin and suddenly had a bad premonition.
“Oh? What happy occasion? Imperial Concubine Mother please share it with us.”
Emperor Xi Ming suddenly became interested on the Imperial Concubine`s happy occasion.
“Emperor son, originally, me and the Prime Minister`s old madam had a verbal agreement to form a marriage, this matter you are aware, right?”
Imperial Concubine Qin replied. Emperor Xi Ming listened, his originally relaxed brows all of a sudden raised into a slight wrinkle, his face somewhat gloomy.
“Now, the Mu Family`s Yun Jin is already at the marriageable age, and I would like to take advantage of today`s lively dinner to ask Emperor son to bestow a marriage decree to increase the cheerful atmosphere, what do you think?”
After the Imperial Concubine`s speech, everyone immediately looked at Chu Li and Mu Yunjin, they can`t help but think that these two outstanding people is extremely well matched. But who is the Sixth prince, among the other princes, he is the one who earned the deep trust of the emperor, someday it is possible that he will become the crown prince. And so, this Third Miss Mu even though she is splendid, but in the previous years she had rumors everywhere and that had ruined her reputation, at this point she truly does not fit the Sixth Prince.
Oooooohhh~ A Marriage Announcement... Sweet~ But it seems the Emperor is not happy...
Yunjin is drawn to Purple Chu Li... poor Chu Qing his uhmm whiteness did not make it to Yunjin`s line of sight.... Purple for the win!! See you next chapter~
