The Aloof Prince Pampers His Wild First Rate Consort

Chapter 55

After drinking the tea, Qin Tai fei put down the teacup, and Qu Momo came holding a small brocade box. Qin Tai fei took the brocade box and opened it. A red Jade bracelet came into view.

"This is the wedding gift your grandfather gave aijia. Aijia have always been taking care of it, until today. Now, I am giving it to you as a present."

"Thank you, grandmother."

Mu Yunjin did not shirk and reached out her hand to take the brocade box. Qin Tai fei nodded her head and glanced at the time.

"Even though aijia wish for you stay and have the noon meal together, but today is still Jin'er's day to visit her parents. You should go to the Xiang Fu to have meals."

"En."

Chu Li faintly agreed.

After coming out of the Plum Blossom Main Hall, Mu Yunjin took out the brocade box given by Qin Tai fei and pa.s.sed it to Zi Xiang.

"My Ascending Flower Pavilion should have no stuff right?"

Zi Xiang thought for a moment before shaking her head.

"The basics are gone. This servant has already tidied it up for the Young Miss."

"While tidying up, I did not catch sight of the Miss' Jade Pendant, it should still be at His Highness the Sixth Prince's place."

Zi Xiang added a sentence and looked at Mu Yunjin. At the mention of the Jade Pendant, Mu Yunjin slightly raised the tip of her brow. She had almost forgotten about it. Soon after, she looked towards Chu Li.

"That 32,000 gold, go back and give it to me."

Now that she is already married into the Sixth Prince's fu, she can't say for sure the day she will leave. Nevertheless, preparing for a retreat route is also good. Chu Li heard Mu Yunjin's words and his tranquil eyes gazed at Mu Yunjin and he slightly nodded.

……

"Their back, their back!"

In the Front Hall of the Mu Xiang Fu, the housekeeper rushed inside after seeing the carriage park at the entrance. After the long and proper preparations, Mu Xiang heard the words and got up and walked towards the doors. He has not yet tread outside the doors when he saw Chu Li and Mu Yunjin walked side by side, wearing purple hued clothes, glistening and dazzling under the sun.

"Laochen pays respect to His Highness Liu Huang zi and pays respect to the Liu Huang zi fei."

When Mu Xiang came out the door, he faced Chu Li and Mu Yunjin with a bow. Mu Yunjin's heart trembled a bit and she slightly pinched her eyebrow, seeing Mu Xiang, Wei Hanqiao, Luo Ningyu and the others approach and pay respects to her with the appellation of Huang zi fei. Mu Yunjin's heart has an unspeakable awkwardness.

"Mu Xiang need not be too polite."

Chu Li indifferently replied, addressing Mu Xiang with his official position and not calling him father-in-law. Although Mu Xiang is a little displeased, he did not dare say anything about it. He smiled towards Chu Li.

"The Fu has already prepared tea and pastries, requesting Liu Huang zi and Liu Huang zi fei to please step into the Front Hall."

Inside the Front Hall, Chu Li and Mu Yunjin are arranged to sit in the seat of honor. Mu Xiang bent his body and took a seat on the lateral side and Luo Ningyu turned and was given a look. Luo Ningyu immediately smiled and spoke.

"Yunjin this child, has she given His Highness the Sixth prince trouble?"

"No."

Chu Li shook his head.

"That's good, that's good."

Luo Ningyu embarra.s.sedly smiled, meeting Chu Li's ice-cold manner, she does not know how to continue the conversation. It was at this moment that Mu Yunhan came inside and saw Mu Yunjin and Chu Li already came back. He cupped his fist in his other hand and greeted.

"Paying respect to Liu Huang zi and Liu Huang zi fei."

"Major General Mu, dismiss the ceremony."

Chu Li looked askance towards Mu Yunhan. Mu Yunjin also helplessly smiled towards Mu Yunhan.

"Eldest brother, you are not in the Fu this morning? Where did you go?"

"Your big brother has just been appointed by the Emperor as Major General and has just returned from the barracks outside the city."

Mu Yunhan replied, and Mu Yunjin nodded her head. Mu Yunhan then took a seat and from the gardens, the green figure of Mu Lingzhu came in. Her steps are slow, and her complexion is pale as she slowly entered the door. Seeing Mu Lingzhu, Mu Xiang's complexion faintly changed.

"Why did you come out? Didn't I say that you are not allowed to go out of Pearl Building without my permission?"

Looking at this once beloved daughter, although Su Biqing, who was facing death's door, had taken all the responsibility. But saying that Mu Lingzhu is really innocent and not guilty of anything, he will not believe it, his heart is more or less disappointed.

"Requesting Father to please forgive this daughter, I heard that jiejie had visited so I specially came out to give respects."

After saying those words, without waiting for Mu Xiang's reply she looked towards Chu Li and Mu Yunjin and kowtowed.

"Lingzhu pays her respects to his highness Liu Huang zi and Liu huang zi fei."

Chu Li did not say anything. Mu Yunjin shot a glance at Chu Li and saw that he does not want to handle Mu Lingzhu so she faintly replied.

"Stand up."

"Thank you your highness Liu huang zi, Liu huang zi fei."

Mu Lingzhu is supported by Hong Xia as she got up. She looked up and for a split second her eyes shown a peculiar light as her gaze fell on Mu Yunjin. Mu Yunjin saw Mu Lingzhu's hand clench into a fist tightly and pursed her lips. She (MYJ) knew that she (MLZ) was making a supreme effort to subdue her own emotions. Also, the man she admired for eight years had now become her brother-in-law, no one could accept it.

At lunch time, Luo Ningyu is specially pa.s.sionate and called out to Chu Li and Mu Yunjin to eat and drink. Mu Yunjin saw that this day's gentle and quiet tempered and reserve Luo Ningyu has certainly been entrusted tasks by Mu Xiang again and again. It is indeed a tough job for her. Wei Hanqiao, after the matter with Mu Yiyang, has changed to become an uncommunicative person. Right now she is sitting at the table not saying a word. Lunch is served, and the table is filled with awkwardness.

……

After lunch, Mu Yunjin is not willing to stay in the Xiang fu, so she took the lead to ask for leave. In th carriage, Mu Yunjin found a comfortable sitting position. With a long relieved breath, the tea ceremony has pa.s.sed, and visiting her parents has also pa.s.sed. The next is to have free time.

After sitting on the carriage for a long time, the carriage showed no signs of stopping. Mu Yunjin slightly wrinkled her brows and pushed aside the curtains to look outside.

"Are we going out of the city?"

Looking at the terrain outside get more and more desolate, Mu Yunjin looked towards Chu Li.

"En."

Chu Li nodded.

Mu Yunjin twitched her mouth and crossed her arms, but did not say anything.

"Your Highness, we're here."

Soon, the carriage stopped, and Ding Xian's voice was heard. Mu Yunjin took the lead to go down the carriage, and she was astonished.

"Why are we here in Shui Yun Temple?"

Once her words fell, Mu Yunjin thought of more questions. Chu Qingyuan once mentioned that their birth mother Rong fei is imprisoned at Shui Yun Temple. Perhaps today she will get to meet Rong fei. With this thought, a familiar figure slowly came, smiling.

"This old man greets Liu Huang zi and Liu Huang zi fei."

The person is the Great Master Huai Yuan. Chu Li nodded his head, at this time his complexion doesn't look so good. He pursed his lips.

"Take us to the secret room."

"Okay, follow this old man."

Mu Yunjin followed behind these two people. She thinks to herself that these two seems to be old acquaintances, and their friendly relation is not light. Presumably, Chu Li is worrying about Rong fei's matter. Along the way, they pa.s.sed by the courtyard of the Millennium old tree, Mu Yunjin again felt that indescribable familiar feeling and her heart is accompanied by a burst of something different. Mu Yunjin halted her steps, at the courtyard's direction and frowned. Her heart a little distressed.

Ahead, Chu Li and Great Master Huai Yuan both felt that Mu Yunjin is no longer following them. They stopped and glanced back only to see the lavender figure staring deeply towards the direction of the Millennium old tree with her eyes filled with sadness.

It's like……

waiting for someone.

"Mu Yunjin, even if unhappy, follow us closely!"

Chu Li watched her show such an expression, his heart for no reason, felt a little fidgety. His steady eyes looked at her. Mu Yunjin opened her eyes wide at Chu Li before slowly walking over.

Unaware of how long they walked, Great Master Huai Yuan took them to a secret pavilion. Before entering, Great Master Huai Yuan specially prepared a small lantern. Pushing open the door of the secret pavilion, inside was pitch-black. Mu Yunjin understood why Great Master Huai Yuan prepared the lantern. It turns out the inside can't be seen by someone with bird blind eye. Mu Yunjin suddenly had an indescribable feeling of gloat. She smiled and walked inside. After entering the dark room, Great master Huai Yuan walked with the lanterns in front and Mu Yunjin walked in the back. But she could clearly sense that Chu Li's pace in front of her is very slow. It seems that the lantern can't solve everything. Mu Yunjin can't help from saying:

"Didn't you bring my jade pendant?"

Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin, and with a faint light he can't make out her face to see a shallow smile.

"Brought it."

Chu Li replied.

"Then, why are you not taking it out? It is all black and no light. It is difficult but I can see the path but isn't it harder for you?"

Mu Yunjin laughed weakly. When her words fell, Chu Li took out a moon white jade pendant, and the white light scattered illuminating the whole secret pavilion. Mu Yunjin is aware that her Jade pendat can shine but she did not expect it can give a glorious light in the whole room. And from it's light you can see the jade's faintly discernible words of 'Yun Jin'.

Mu Yunjin can't help but be curious again of her family, why would they deliberately create such a precious jade for her?

About a quarter of an hour walk, Great master Huai Yuan stopped.

"Why are we not walking?"

Mu Yunjin asked curiously. Great Master Huai Yuan smiled a little helplessly. He pointed to the empty and s.p.a.cious place in front of him.

"The road ahead is set up by a s.p.a.ce master who has already pa.s.sed away. The array was exquisite and no one was able to break it."

"What is in that place?"

Mu Yunjin asked. When Great Master Huai Yuan heard, he looked towards Chu Li.

"It is where Rong fei niang niang is imprisoned."

Speaking of this, Mu Yunjin understood that Chu Li always wanted to rescue Rong fei. But he was just unable to break the array outside.

She stopped thinking about it and stared in front of her. Great master Huai Yuan shot a glance at Mu Yunjin and seems to understand Mu Yunjin's thoughts. He took out a few beads and threw the beads into the s.p.a.cious and empty place. They soon saw the beads condense mid air and followed by a burst of alarm sounds. Hearing the alarm, Mu Yunjin was shocked. She does not dare to believe it, she even shrugged her ears. The alarm sound is still there. Mu Yunjin frowned as she listened to the alarm sound. How could it appear here? How could an alarm from the modern times appear here? Isn't it said a modern technology?

Chu Li firmly watched attentively at Mu Yunjin for a long time, for her expression taking in the whole scene, her lips closely pursed and can't make out her emotions

"Has Liu Huang zi fei heard this sound before?"

Great Master Huai Yuan also noted Mu Yunjin's change of expressions that he can't help but be curious. The alarm sound gradually disappeared. Mu Yunjin raised her brow.

"You said this array is made by a s.p.a.ce master?"
