The Aloof Prince Chapter 39 - Great Kindness Difficult to Decline

Mu Yunjin holding a cup of tea paused to inwardly sigh, it is really meddlesome not to leave home, bad things spread a thousand miles.

"It is nothing major, it merely happened due to some misunderstanding, that's all."

Mu Yunjin drooped her eyes, hooked her lips to a smile, and did not speak more.

When Chu Qingyuan heard that there is truly a matter, she angrily pounded on the table.

"These wicked people are really tired of living, they even dare to bully the Liu Huangzifei, just wait for this princess to send people to go investigate thoroughly, I won't let off those people so easily."

To hear her being addressed as Liu Huangzifei, Mu Yunjin's mouthful of tea got stuck in her throat, she coughed several times, on the corner of her eyes she cast a glance across Chu Li, to find his face clear with no trace of peculiarities.

Chu Qingyuan saw that both Mu Yunjin and Chu Li did not speak, jet black eyes transferred directions until she exclaimed.

"Aiya! Almost forgot, today I and fifth older sister made an appointment to go to Fragrant Spring (Xiang Quan) to eat vegetarian dishes, why am I still here."

After speaking, Chu Qingyuan got up and walked to the door, after a moment she paused, facing inside looking towards Chu Li and Mu Yunjin.

"Sixth brother, Sixth sister-in-law, I am sorry ah, another day Xiao Jiu (Little nine) will accompany you ok, you do not know but Fifth sister's temper is different if Xiao Jiu is late fifth older sister's mood will not be good..."

After saying those words Chu Qingyuan closed the door with a bang as she departed.

Mu Yunjin is unable to make head or tail of Chu Qingyuan's behavior it was really unexpected that she was unable to react.

Didn't she invite her to have a meal?

This left her and Chu Li to dry in the air here...

Moments later, Mu Yunjin more or less understood Chu Qingyuan's intention, she twitched her lips, then picked up her chopsticks and slowly ate.

"I heard that the streets were filled with rumors about this prince not yet giving a betrothal gift?"

Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin with eyes that is shrouded with clouds and mist unable to get his meaning.

Mu Yunjin heard what was said and lightly hooked up the corners of her mouth, she laid down her chopsticks and raised her eyebrow to look at Chu Li.

"Since the sixth prince's heart is clear on the matter, it is better to give an explanation today. If the sixth prince is reneging, please announce it as soon as possible. "

Chu Li pursed up his thin lips, his deep and dark eyes quietly fell on the body of Mu Yunjin he wears a smile yet not a smile.

"It seems that this prince's moment of negligence, let you suffer grievances, this prince has let you down."

"Negligence?"

Mu Yunjin finally caught Chu Li's meaning, Is it possible that he is not reneging?

Her heart suddenly became somewhat annoyed, she cannot help but lightly wrinkle her eyebrows, with a cool sound of blowing she clenched her teeth to speak.

"Since the sixth prince now recalled, Then it's time to prepare the betrothal gift, the wedding day is approaching, asking the sixth prince to take this matter a little seriously."

"En."

Chu Li simply returned one word, considered as an answer to Mu Yunjin.

Mu Yunjin is somewhat driven mad, avoiding to look at Chu Li, then with a cynical voice, she started to talk.

"To be able to know his highness sixth prince is truly Yunjin's good fortune, it is almost summer, to be with the sixth prince, Yunjin will surely feel as if it is winter, endless cold every day, thinking about it is a happy thing."

Chu Li naturally heard Mu Yunjin's words and mocking tone, his faint expression eyes swept towards Mu Yunjin's body, it was his turn to reply.

"After eating this prince will take you to a place."

......

Just as the two of them stepped out of the restaurant's door, the people walking around stopped one after another, their line of sight fell on the restaurant's doorway towards the two people's bodies.

Isn't this the Sixth Prince and Third miss Mu?

Seeing this scene, everyone is somewhat startled and dropped their chin, is it not said that the Sixth Prince is unwilling to marry Third Miss Mu, even the betrothal gift is late in sending to the Xiang Fu?

But now, why are these two people standing side by side?

Moreover, these two people, one is wearing magnificent purple clothes, one is wearing plain clothes, standing together, it is not at all so bad, instead, it is very dazzling to the eyes, it makes the people unable to move their eyes.

These two people can't help but say from their appearance, that they are very well matched.

"Where do you want to take me?"

Mu Yunjin automatically ignored the gaze of the people and turned to look towards Chu Li.

Mu Yunjin looking back, suddenly realized she is shorter in height than Chu Li, looking at him for a moment, she still has to raise her head.

Mu Yunjin somewhat felt unwell, soon after can't help but curl her lips, and whispered words to comfort herself.

"Forget it. This body's owner is sixteen years old, still not fully developed, sooner or later will grow up taller."

Thinking so, Mu Yunjin's heart is more comfortable. Soon, Ding Xian drove Chu Li's blackwood carriage and stopped it by the restaurant's entrance door, after seeing Mu Yunjin, he smiled towards Mu Yunjin and said.

"Third Miss, good."

Mu Yunjin approached the carriage. She glanced at Ding Xian, ruminating with a smile.

"So Guard Ding is also moonlighting as a coachman ah."

"Ke..."

Ding Xian lightly coughed, then jumped down the carriage, and bend down to his waist.

"Third Miss, this lowly one will help you to the carriage."

"No need!"

Mu Yunjin directly stepped onto the carriage and sat inside. Chu Li saw this, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

"To the west street."

"Yes, your highness."

Inside the carriage, Mu Yunjin leaned on the side of the carriage, and crossed her arms, a little curious as to where Chu Li is taking her.

The carriage only traveled for about the time to make a small cup of tea, before it came to a stop, Ding Xian's voice came from outside.

"Your Highness, Third Miss, we've arrived in the West Street."

Mu Yunjin is startled, she slightly wrinkled her eyebrows, her bottom still has not warmed the seats yet and they are already at the location? After going down the carriage, Mu Yunjin pleasantly saw 'Xi Jin Yuan' (West Brocade Park) three big gold plated letters, the golden light sparkling, inside is actually a shop.

Chu Li then got off from the carriage, then walked inside, Mu Yunjin paused, before following Chu Li to go inside Xi Jin Yuan. There is an old man who welcomed them, he bowed down towards Chu Li.

"Paying respect to His Highness Sixth Prince."

"You're excused."

Chu Li faintly said. The old man nodded, then his line of sight fell on Mu Yunjin's body, for a moment he sized up Mu Yunjin from head to toe, then he smiled.

"This is Third Miss Mu?"

"En."

Mu Yunjin nodded, looking around, to discover that this is actually a shop that sells jewelry and gold. As far as she can see, these pieces of jewelry and gold are all pure in quality, delicate and beyond compare, one look and you can see it is all top-notch goods.

"There may be something that suits you here, you may choose according to your wishes, this prince will give it to you as an apology."

Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin, his indifferent statement, hearing it, Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrow, pursed her lips, a pair of eyes unable to see any meaning, bringing her to this place, it turns out it was to apologize to her. It is just that; Chu Li seems to consider her as a vulgar type of person, does he believe that a few gold and jewelry will settle her? The old man stood beside Mu Yunjin catching her eyes showing disdain, he smiled mildly.

"This old man of Xi Jin Yuan, opened fifty shops and sold things never considering the price only selling to fated persons,

"What is the fated way?"

Mu Yunjin inquired with a smile, looking towards the old man. The old man heard the statement, walked a few steps forward, reached out his hands to touch once those small boxes of jewelry.

"These things, when polished, all have been poured immortal spirit, therefore every item is given life. And so, they have the ability to choose their own masters, that is fate."

Mu Yunjin heard what the old man said, and somewhat helplessly shook her head, still to think that ever since coming here they actually ran into a superstitious old man. Without thinking, Mu Yunjin reached out to a small brocade box, to take out a jade bracelet, and put it in her hand, she carefully examined it, but did not see anything special.

"It seems that this bracelet and Third Miss have no connection."

The old man smiled in her direction. Mu Yunjin a little bored, put the bracelet back on the jewelry box and turned to roll her eyes, with both hands at her back, she turned towards Chu Li.

"It is boring here, we should go."

The old man saw that Mu Yunjin is not a very patient person, thus he smiled again.

"Since Third Miss is not interested in these pieces of jewelry, This old man here still has other interesting things."

The old man then left, and went to the other side to lift the red cloth on top of the table, in an instant, all small and exquisite yet refined weaponry fell unto Mu Yunjin's eyes. Mu Yunjin immediately brightened and walked over. Really, compared with jewelry, she is definitely interested in these little weapons. Voluntarily she grabbed a small silver dagger. Mu Yunjin put it in his hands to give it a try, then she took it out from the scabbard, lightly stretching her fingers to flip the dagger, immediately the dagger issued a crisp sound. Mu Yunjin is immediately delighted, just as when she was prepared to ask for this dagger, the old man walked over to shake his head.

"This dagger and the Third Miss have no connection."

Mu Yunjin immediately glanced towards the old man, Chu Li who was sitting on a chair at the side, his indifferent eyes from beginning to end never left Mu Yunjin's body. He saw her ignore those jewelry, and hold the dagger admiringly, his eyes within are lost in thought.

In succession, she chose to hold several daggers, but the old man always shook his head on Mu Yunjin saying they have no connection. Mu Yunjin is getting angry, her patience seemingly at an end, her complexion is heavy as she put down the dagger in her hands and turned around.

"Chu Li next time do not bring me to this broken place!"

Mu Yunjin annoyedly said, not paying attention that she unexpectedly blurted out Chu Li's taboo name. It seems that it was the first time, for so long that Chu Li heard someone calling his taboo name, he frowned slightly, but his heart does not dislike it, on the contrary, it is very much pleasing to his ear.

"Since you feel it is boring, then let us go back."

Seeing Mu Yunjin empty-handed he felt somewhat helpless as he indifferently spoke. Mu Yunjin nodded, just as she was about to leave, something wrapped on her wrist stopping her from taking a step. Looking down she saw a fine golden whip wrapped around her wrist.

"Look, this thing is exactly fated to be with you."

The old man saw this scene he is exulted, suddenly felt he was being despised by Mu Yunjin like that, he finally exhaled proudly. Mu Yunjin looked at the golden whip and can't help but feel a little mystical, as her habit is to use a dagger therefore she earlier chose such kinds of weapons not at all taking note of this whip. Now looking at this small and lovely whip, she unexpectedly felt happy.

"Third Miss is awesome, this Phoenix tail whip has been here for several decades, today, finally someone is going to take it away."

Ding Xian possesses a whip so he can't help to comment. Mu Yunjin heard him and saw Ding Xian looking at the Phoenix Tail Whip. Smiling she said.

"Since this great kindness is difficult to decline, Sixth Prince will pay for it with money."
