"Given to me?"

Xu Miaojin touched the petals on it, raised her head, and asked with a smile.

He even remembered to give me gifts. It's worth it that I asked this kid to learn riding and shooting.

"No."

Zhu Ming shook his head. This thing is not meant to be given as a gift.

"Tell me the truth, who is it for?"

Hearing Zhu Ming say that the flowers were not for him, Xu Miaojin immediately stuffed the painting back into Zhu Ming's hands. Suddenly, her face turned cold and she looked at Zhu Ming as if interrogating him.

The marriage between Zhu Ming and I was granted by the emperor himself. Could it be that this guy was planning to give this painting to someone else?

"what happened?"

Mu Ruanjun rode his horse slowly towards Xu Miaojin and Zhu Ming.

After seeing Xu Miaojin's expression, he asked with a smile.

As he asked, he reached out and gently stroked Xu Miaojin's back, trying to calm her temper.

"This flower?"

Xu Miaojin wanted to complain to Mu Ruanjun, but Mu Ruanjun suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the scroll in Zhu Ming's hand in shock.

"you know?"

Zhu Ming frowned slightly and became alert.

Xu Miaojin and Mu Ruanjun, he really didn't want these two girls to be dragged into this.

Who knows why Zhu Yunhuan was looking for this kind of flower?

Mu Ruanjun did not answer Zhu Ming's question, but reached out and snatched the painting from Zhu Ming's hand. She looked a little different from the young lady before.

"you……"

Zhu Ming immediately reached out and wanted to take the painting from Mu Ruanjun.

He himself couldn't understand the affairs of the royal family, let alone these two people.

"Soothing flower."

Mu Ruanjun had already said the name of the flower, and his expression turned serious.

Zhu Ming's outstretched hand froze and he withdrew it angrily.

Finally, he was recognized.

"Ruan Jun, do you know this kind of flower?"

After hearing Mu Ruanjun's words, Xu Miaojin became interested. She put aside her previous annoyance and asked in surprise.

Looking at Xu Miaojin's appearance, Zhu Ming smiled helplessly.

This little girl gets angry quickly and calms down quickly.

"This flower is called the Anshen Flower. It is used in Yunnan to calm the mind and promote sleep."

Mu Ruanjun turned around and explained to Xu Miaojin with a smile, then returned the painting to Zhu Ming: "I think His Royal Highness just thinks this flower looks strange, so he is a little interested in it."

"Uh-huh."

Hearing Mu Ruanjun helping him out, Zhu Ming nodded again and again.

But when he turned around, he saw an indescribable expression flash across Mu Ruanjun's face.

If this Mu Ruanjun knew about the calming flower, it is impossible that he did not know that this flower also had the function of attracting poison.

She must be hiding something.

"Is that right?"

After hearing what Mu Ruanjun said, Xu Miaojin remembered why she was angry and turned to look at Zhu Ming again.

She believed what Mu Ruanjun said, but she wanted to hear the answer from Zhu Ming more.

"really."

No matter what Mu Ruanjun was hiding from Xu Miaojin, it was a good thing for Zhu Ming now that Xu Miaojin was no longer paying attention to the painting.

"Humph."

Seeing Zhu Ming nod, Xu Miaojin snorted proudly again, turned around and held the reins of the horse: "Continue practicing, it's not easy to master horse archery."

It seemed that Xu Miaojin no longer cared about the flower, and Zhu Ming finally relaxed completely.

I followed her and learned horse riding for the whole afternoon until the sun was setting. Then I stopped.

"It's getting late, we should go."

Xu Miaojin waved her hands and skipped in front of Zhu Ming and Mu Ruanjun.

It seemed that this afternoon didn't consume much of her energy.

Zhu Ming was watching from behind and shook his head. This girl was really energetic.

I watched it for longer than I rode the horse, and even though I felt tired, she was still full of energy.

"You won't follow?"

Mu Ruanjun walked beside Zhu Ming, asked, smiled, and still behaved dignifiedly.

"I was thinking about the tranquilizing flower."

Zhu Ming was not lying. Mu Ruanjun might know the real effect of this calming flower.

As he said this, he turned to look at Mu Ruanjun, carefully observing the changes in her expression.

Sure enough, after Zhu Ming mentioned the calming flower, Mu Ruanjun's expression also became serious.

"In fact, you know the real effect of the tranquilizing flower."

Seeing Mu Ruanjun become serious, Zhu Ming became more certain of his judgment and whispered.

"What are you looking for the tranquilizing flower for?"

Mu Ruanjun did not deny Zhu Ming's guess, and asked back in a low voice.

This is also an affirmation of Zhu Ming's words.

"This flower is not what I'm looking for."

Zhu Ming shook his head and said, "As for who you're looking for..."

Zhu Yunhuan was looking for this calming flower, and it was probably related to the royal family, so he didn't want anyone to get involved.

"If you don't tell me, I won't ask."

Mu Ruanjun had already interrupted Zhu Ming's words.

Not expecting such an answer, Zhu Ming looked at Mu Ruanjun, only to see her smile casually.

This girl is smarter than I thought.

"You and Miao Jin are engaged, and I don't want her to get involved in any trouble."

Mu Ruanjun said this and looked at Xu Miaojin who was walking happily in front.

Mu Ying and Xu Da can be regarded as comrades who fought their way out of the troubled times. She and Xu Miaojin have known each other since childhood. Even though she has lived in Yunnan for a long time, she and Xu Miaojin often exchanged letters and they have a deep relationship.

"Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with her."

Zhu Ming naturally knew what Mu Ruanjun wanted to hear, and this was also what he wanted to do now.

He even wanted to avoid getting involved if possible.

Usually, he helped Zhu Yuanzhang share some of the responsibilities to make the Ming Dynasty strong. When Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, he would go to another place to be a vassal.

When Prince of Yan Zhu Di was fighting a rebellion, his ideal life was to not be implicated and to be a leisurely prince.

Anyway, he is an adopted grandson, and the struggle for imperial power has nothing to do with him. Even if other princes and grandchildren dislike him, they will not do anything to him.

"I will be in Beijing for about two months this time. If you have anything, you can come to me."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Mu Ruanjun nodded and responded in a deep voice.

"You mean to help me?"

Zhu Ming looked at her with some surprise. Unlike the optimistic and naive Xu Miaojin, Mu Ruanjun was obviously much more mature in this regard.

And since she knew the origin of the calming flower, perhaps it could really help her in this regard.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not used to your royal family fighting me, I'm only doing this for Miao Jin."

Mu Ruanjun turned around and looked at Zhu Ming seriously. After that, he quickened his pace and rushed to Xu Miaojin's side.

"Miao Jin, you didn't even wait for me."

She held Xu Miaojin's arm tenderly, frowning and complaining.

She still looked like the eldest lady, completely different from the way she was when she was talking to Zhu Ming just now.
