In a flash, three days have passed, It is Mu Yunhan's wedding day.
Mu Yunjin got up early in the morning, and let Zi Xiang especially comb her hair into a relatively dignified bun and make her hair appear solemnly elegant.
After dressing well, Mu Yunjin let Zi Xiang take out her long prepared gift from her bedroom.
Just as she got out, she saw Ding Xian standing outside Chu Li's room door.
Mu Yunjin looked at Ding Xian, just as she took a few steps towards the Glass Spring Pavilion's entrance, she saw the diagonally opposite room door open. A figure with magnificent purple clothes, wearing a refined and luxurious jade crown.
"Where are you going?"
Chu Li lifted his eyes and glimpsed at Mu Yunjin and indifferently asked.
Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow.
"Today is my elder brother's wedding. I want to go to the Xiang Fu."
"And you?"
Mu Yunjin looked towards Chu Li to supply an answer.
Chu Li smirked.
"I was invited by the Grand Tutor to attend a banquet at the Zhuang Fu."
"So, it's like that ah, it is a coincidence that we are participating in the same happy occasion. Then, I'll go first."
Mu Yunjin smiled and took Zi Xiang out of the Glass Spring Pavilion.
Behind her, Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin's back and laughed while shaking his head.
Ding Xian raised his head with a trace of a smile.
"Your Highness, nowadays you treat Huangzifei really carefully."
"Now that she had married into the Fu, she has a lot more eyes watching her. Nominally, she is this prince's person, helping her, this prince still wants to guarantee."
Chu Li coldly replied.
Ding Xian nodded, but still, he can't help but smile.
"This is the first time I heard His Highness speak such a long string of words.….."
……….
When Mu Yunjin arrived at the Xiang Fu, it is already very festive, many guests has already arrived and seated. The Xiang fu is filled with joyous talks and peals of laughter.
Mu Yunjin entered the door and saw Mu Xiang, and Luo Ningyu maintain their smiling expression as they greet all the guests.
At the sight of Mu Yunjin, Mu Xiang and Luo Ningyu walked towards Mu Yunjin and bowed.
"Paying respect to Liu Huangzifei."
"Father, Third Mother, you need not be too polite. Today, daughter has returned to participate in Elder brother's wedding. You need not regard me as Liu huangzifei."
Mu Yunjin politely said to them.
Mu Xiang and Luo Ningyu nodded.
Seeing that Mu Yunjin has come, several ministers came over to Mu Xiang and smiled.
"Xiang fu had many happy occasions recently, this official congratulates Xiang ye."
"Li Daren is being modest, your family's daughter is also about to reach marriageable age, when that time comes, remember to invite our Fu to drink at the wedding feast."
Mu Xiang replied.
"What is Xiang Ye saying, it is only natural that this lowly official will first invite Xiang Ye."
A few ministers came to exchange greetings, at this time, from the rear garden entrance, lively sounds are heard. Mu Yunjin raised her eyes to look and saw the groom, Mu Yunhan in red clothes walk inside.
Upon seeing Mu Yunjin, he smiled and walked over.
"Yunjin came ah."
"Yes ah, Are you going to escort the bride?"
Mu Yunjin looked at Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan nodded and then said a few sentences to Mu Yunjin, laughing.
"Alright, the auspicious time has arrived. I ought to be going to escort the bride."
When his words fell, Mu Yunhan walked out followed by a group of escorts.
Mu Yunjin looked at this scene, and she slightly curled her lips. She can't help but remember when Chu Li married her.
However, fortunately within the Huangzifu, Chu Li did not make things difficult for her. So she was able to tolerate this matter.
After Mu Yunhan set off to escort the bride, inside the Xiang fu became a little peaceful.
"Oh, San Jiejie has come back."
Mu Xiarou's joyous laughter is heard.
Mu Yunjin followed the sound and saw Mu Xiarou wearing pink clothes. She looked lovely and charming as she walked in front of her and bowed.
Behind Mu Xiarou, Mu Lingzhu slowly walked from the rear gardens. She saw Mu Yunjin's figure inside the Front Hall.
Soon after, she walked slowly in front of Mu Yunjin and bowed.
"Paying respect to Liu Huangzifei."
"Dismiss the ceremony."
Mu Yunjin indifferently replied.
"Thank you, Liu Huangzifei."
Mu Lingzhu said her thank you, and soon after made contact with Mu Yunjin's eyes.
"You and I are siblings, today is elder brother's big wedding. Is it okay if I call you Jiejie?"
Hearing it, Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and raises the corner of her mouth.
"Apparently meimei, the several months inside the Fu has indeed curbed a lot of your temper."
"Yes ah, everything is due to jiejie's contribution."
Mu Lingzhu smiled and immediately looked at Mu Yunjin's side.
"Why is Jiejie alone? Liu Huangzi did not come to accompany you?"
"You're still thinking about my Lord Husband."
Mu Yunjin deliberately emphasized the two words 'Lord Husband'.
Mu Lingzhu's face became white, soon after she immediately recovered a smile.
"Jiejie likes to joke, Liu huangzi is now Lingzhu's Brother-in-law. Lingzhu is just exchanging greetings without thinking. I was merely asking that's all."
"He went to Zhuang Fu to attend the banquet."
Mu Yunjin sought a chair to sit on and poured herself a cup of tea, and lightly licked her mouth.
Mu Xiarou looked at this scene, although young in age, she also saw the situation clearly. In the past, these two Jiejie; one is revered because she is a pearl that is firmly held in the palm. The other is viewed as the Mu Family's disgrace and was trampled underfoot.
Now, in just a few months, an unexpected change happened.
Again, she looked at her Third sister sitting on a chair and leisurely drinking tea. Where is the cowardly timid idiot of the past? Instead, It is the manner of Fourth Sister who is now being a yes-man and has to depend on Third sister's face.
"Third Jiejie, try this pastry."
Mu Xiarou held a plate of an exquisite pastry and passed it to Mu Yunjin's side of the table.
Mu Yunjin smiled at Mu Xiarou.
"Thank you Fifth meimei."
When her words fell, she took a piece of the pastry and ate slowly.
After about an hour, firecrackers sounded from outside and all the guests rushed to the door.
It is estimated that Mu Yunhan has returned. Mu Yunjin can't help but get up, she is very curious about what the Zhuang family's Xiaojie looks like.
Soon, Mu Yunhan is unexpectedly carrying Zhuang Yuyan as they entered the Front Hall.
……….
After the ceremony, Mu Yunhan once again carried Zhuang Yuyan and walked towards the rear garden. The guests present was arranged to the banquet table.
Mu Yunjin, Mu Xiarou, and the others are arranged in the main seat while Mu Xiang and Luo Ningyu are occupied with greeting the guests so they had no time to attend to the side.
Mu Lingzhu also sat down and drooped her eyes, and pursed her lips for a long time. She swallowed and opened her mouth.
"Jiejie, meimei wants to ask if it is possible to request a favor for a matter from you?"
"What matter?"
Mu Yunjin raised her eyes.
Mu Lingzhu bit her lip.
"Since mother's incident, my frequently visited literary building had removed my name and has forbidden me to ever step foot inside."
"I've already asked father several times, but he is unwilling to step in for me. I think that because of Jiejie's identity as the Liu huangzifei, the elders of the building will give you face."
After listening to it, she learned to take advantage of it. Mu Yinjin cynically smiled.
"Even if I want to, my hands are tied."
Seeing Mu Yunjin directly refusing her, Mu Lingzhu's eyes flashed a peculiar light, soon after, she forced a smile, no longer speaking.
………
In the afternoon, after Xiang Fu's banquet, Mu Yunjin bid farewell to return to Liu Huangzi Fu.
On the way back, Mu Yunjin did not ride the carriage but strolled slowly in the street.
"Zi Xiang, what do you think of Mu Lingzhu today?"
Mu Yunjin suddenly asked.
Zi Xiang paused before frowning.
Fourth Miss' temper has indeed been restrained, and towards Young Miss she seems particularly humble. But this servant always felt that there is something odd about her that I just can't tell."
"So, you also felt that way too."
Mu Yunjin mildly smiled.
"This servant is slow-witted and does not dare to think too much."
Zi Xiang replied.
When they returned to the Fu, Shen Momo is sitting in the gardens and holding an embroidery cloth. When out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Mu Yunjin, she immediately stood up.
"Huangzifei, you've returned early."
Shen Momo greeted.
Mu Yunjin smiled and nodded.
"His Highness also went out early this morning, I still don't know when he will come back. In the past, any wedding receptions of the aristocrats or ministers, His Highness will always disdain to go."
"But this Grand tutor Zhuang is His Highness' teacher and is deeply respected by His Highness. His Highness has never brushed away his face."
Shen Momo continued to remark.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and smiled.
"Oh, by the way, it is almost the seventh day of the month. Is your gift ready?"
Shen Momo suddenly asked.
Mentioning the gift, Mu Yunjin slapped her head, in the past two days she had forgotten this matter beyond the topmost cloud.
Seeing Mu Yunjin is still unprepared, Shen Momo sighed.
"Huangzifei, you and His Highness are newlywed. This birthday gift must absolutely not be neglected."
"I got it, I'll go back and prepare."
Mu Yunjin replied.
As soon as her words fell, Mu Yunjin walked towards Glass Spring Pavilion.
Returning to Glass Spring Pavilion, Mu Yunjin simply sat down in front of the garden's rock table. She supports her head, as she thought of myriad gift ideas.
"Young Miss, that day Shen Momo mentioned that it has to have sincerity. This servant thinks that isn't it better to embroider a pouch for Liu Huangzi?"
Zi Xiang stood at one side as she starts to suggest.
After hearing the words embroider a pouch, Mu Yunjin frowned and immediately waved her hands to refuse.
"That thing is very complicated, it is absolutely unsuitable for me."
"Then, this servant has no other way. In the past, this servant heard a family's daughter give a present of a personally embroidered pouch."
Zi Xiang looked helpless. Mu Yunjin heard Zi Xiang's words and captured the word 'personally'.
Yes ah, in order for it to be sincere it has to be done personally. But what can she possibly make for Chu Li?
Mu Yunjin slightly lifted her eyes and her line of sight caught the rows of lanterns on the front door of the house. Her eyes flashed and an idea formed in her head.
"Zi Xiang, go and prepare carrots for me on the Sixth day."
Zi Xiang looked blank, although she did not understand Mu Yunjin's intentions she still nodded.
Just as the two master-servant chatted, a purple figure entered the Glass Spring Pavilion and glimpsed Mu Yunjin pursing her lips and sitting in front of the stone table.
Ding Xian also followed after Chu Li and took the initiative to speak.
"Huangzifei returned early?"
"En, earlier than you."
Mu Yunjin replied.
Ding Xiang laughed, soon after he looked towards Zi Xiang behind Mu Yunjin and winked. Zi Xiang immediately understood and followed Ding Xian out.
Inside the Glass Spring Pavilion, Chu Li and Mu Yunjin are left.
"Tonight, you will go with this prince on a trip to Shui Yun Temple."
Chu Li approached Mu Yunjin and indifferently spoke.
After hearing Shui Yun Temple, Mu Yunjin slightly wrung her eyebrows, her heart is a hundred times reluctant to go.
"What is there to do?"
"Work."
Chu Li replied.
Mu Yunjin slightly raised an eyebrow.
"Why should we choose to go at night?"
