Your Majesty, the princess ran away again!

Mu Xiwen thought, this old eunuch, why does he mention that bitch for no reason? Besides, she is just the daughter of a criminal, how can she be worthy of my mistress of the prime minister's mansion. But then he thought again, no! Is the Su family really in decline?

When he first entered Kyoto, the Su family was at the top of the five great families in Kyoto. The eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Jinrou, was a natural beauty with a talent for writing poems about snow, and she was the most beautiful woman in the city. All the members of the Su family were either in important positions or well-known. It was said that the ancestors of the Su family left four rules: all children of the Su family were not allowed to take concubines during life or be buried with the deceased, and women were not allowed to be concubines; all children of the Su family, regardless of gender, must be knowledgeable, smart and studious; all children of the Su family must be humble and polite, and not act rashly; all children of the Su family must be of the same blood and live in harmony.

Although Mu Xiwen won the first prize in one fell swoop, he was born in poverty and suffered a lot of contempt. Fortunately, he got guidance from an expert and plotted against Su Jinrou, and then he married her into his house. With the help of the power of the Su family, he rose all the way to the position of prime minister in just three years. You can imagine how powerful the Su family was back then.

But four years ago, Su Nanyi, the eldest son of the Su family, took the opportunity to poison Concubine Shu while treating her in the palace, causing her to die on the spot. The emperor must have been furious and raided the Su Mansion, and exiled the Su family to the border. Thinking about it carefully, a concubine died in the palace, the Su family was only exiled, and even Su Nanyi was alive and well. Could it be that there is some hidden secret here? But in the past few years, no one from the Su family has entered the capital again, and has never sent a letter to Mu Nanyan. Could it be that I am overthinking it?

In order to deal with the old eunuch Jiang Su, Yan Xia had to smile along, "Please forgive me, Eunuch Jiang. It's all my fault that I'm too busy and neglected to discipline her. I'll pay attention next time. Please calm down, Eunuch Jiang, and don't get hurt because of a woman."

Mu Nanyan looked at Shen's unconvinced face and almost laughed out loud, and she pinched her fingertips hard to restrain herself.

Jiang Su didn't want to pay attention to him. He snorted twice and raised his eyebrows. "Look at how chaotic the morning is. Princess Li, if I say so, just follow me into the palace. Don't worry, the Queen has a good temper and no one will bother you. It's not like here who keeps urging you all morning. I'm not as anxious as them, but they are all anxious, as if someone has ordered you to leave."

Mu Nanyan waved her hand, "No need, I still like to stay at home, after all, there are people to play with me." Jiang Su glanced at the Shen family and others, "Since the princess wants to play, then play, this old servant will listen to the princess, but I'm afraid that the queen will feel bad, after all, our queen is soft-hearted."

Softhearted?

Everyone in the Mu family was stunned. Are you sure that words like soft-hearted and good-tempered can be used to describe the Queen?

Everyone in the aristocratic families of Kyoto knew that the current queen was a person with a hot temper and a ruthless heart. Last year, during a palace banquet, His Royal Highness Prince Li dug out the eyes of Miss Wang on the spot. Not only did the Queen not stop him, she also raided the Wang family because Miss Wang had set her sights on His Royal Highness Prince Li, and His Royal Highness Prince Li did not agree.

Not only did the emperor not stop it, he also rewarded the queen with many rare things to calm her down. He gave all the gold, silver and jewelry confiscated from the royal family to Prince Li, saying that it was to compensate His Royal Highness Prince Li for the dagger!

Jiang Su held the box containing the imperial edict in his hand. Before he could speak, he was rejected by Mu Nanyan. Jiang Su was not angry, but coaxed Mu Nanyan, "I have seen a lot today. I think the princess is no longer in the mood to accept the imperial edict. I will come again tomorrow. Princess, you don't have to get up early. I will wait for you in the front yard when I come. It's not too late to see me when you get up. After all, sleeping is a big deal."

Mu Nanyan nodded. Since the young eunuch was sensible, she would not settle the score with him for the time being. But it was awkward to hear him calling her "Princess" all the time. But she didn't want to talk about this in front of these shameless old men and didn't want to give them a chance to speak.

Mu Xiwen broke out in a cold sweat. This family was not peaceful. He had to find a way to make this disaster disappear.

Madam Mu used her cane to nudge Mu Xiwen, "Xiwen, go and see Eunuch Jiang off."

When the two walked away, Madam Mu saw that Mu Nanyan was about to leave, and she stamped her cane hard, saying in a bad tone: "Humph, you are so rude, you don't take the Mu family seriously at all. Nanyan, why didn't you say good morning today? You don't look like the eldest daughter of our Mu family at all. I really don't know how Prince Li chose you."

Mu Nanyan scratched her ears, "I also want to know how he chose me. I haven't seen him, and I don't know if he's good-looking. If he's good-looking, I can still reluctantly agree to him. If he's too ugly, I, Mu Nanyan, won't marry him. You guys greeted me too early. I can't get up, so I won't greet you in the morning. Can you change it to good night?"

Mu Nanyan's words almost pissed off Madam Mu to death. How could she not greet him if she couldn't get up in the morning? "You...you...you are really...ah!"

Mu Nanyan said a little aggrievedly: "Do I have to get up early every day if I live at home?"

Shen couldn't sit still any longer. The damn eunuch finally left. She said vaguely, "You are...how can...whose daughter looks like you..."

Mu Nanyan chuckled, "Aunt Shen...you need to take good care of your mouth pain. The more you talk, the more it hurts."

Madam Mu roared, "Mu Nanyan! Who are you talking to? Are there any rules?"

Mu Nanyan immediately put on an innocent look, "If that's the case, it's my fault. I was just concerned about Aunt Shen. I should have just left with Eunuch Jiang and not made Grandmother angry here."

The old lady wanted to get angry but didn't dare to, for fear that this damn girl would really enter the palace. If she entered the palace and whispered in the Empress's ear, her son would be finished, and this family would be finished.

Shen was so angry that she was shaking. This damn girl actually dared to call her Aunt Shen. When she felt better, she would let this girl know who was the mistress of the Mu family.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Mu Nanyan laughed inwardly at how they dared to fight with her with such limited ability, which was really overestimating their own abilities.

"Hey!" A woman's voice came from outside the courtyard, sounding a little arrogant, "Nan Yan, didn't you hear it? Your grandmother is angry that you didn't call Madam Mu mother."

"Big sister, you're finally back." A little meat ball squeezed into Mu Nanyan's arms, and Mu Nanyan asked tentatively: "Huai'er?"

The little guy rubbed against Mu Nanyan's belly, and the original owner's memory flashed through her mind. This was a special person in the Mu Mansion. She was the concubine, Jiang, who was brought in on the day of Mu Xiwen's wedding. The little boy in her arms was Jiang's son Mu Yuhuai. In her memory, she also had a daughter whose name seemed to be Mu Xiyao.

When I looked up, I saw two balls of red fire. They were two women in red clothes, walking into the yard one in front and one behind. The girl behind was holding three strings of bright red candied haws in her hand.

The two walked in and bowed, "Greetings to mother, greetings to grandmother."

The little girl stood up and walked in front of Mu Nanyan, staring at her with her big eyes blinking. This should be Mu Xiyao. She looks about the same age as the original owner. Her facial features are very three-dimensional at such a young age. She will be so beautiful when she grows up. Her eyeballs are rolling around in their eye sockets, making her look smart and cute.

"Here you go." Mu Xiyao handed over the candied haws. "I heard on the road that your illness was cured, and it seems to be true. Your eyes are no longer cloudy. That's great. You must help your sister get revenge this time." After saying that, she took a big bite of the candied haws. The syrup stuck to her lips, making them even redder.
