Moonlight and wind

"Someone come!" Princess Jinyu got off the sedan chair and looked up to see that the door lintel was empty. "Give it the name Longyin Villa!"

"As you wish!" After a while, the palace servant came back carrying a plaque and hung it neatly on the lintel of the mansion.

Princess Jinyu came to the hall and sat down. Yuwenlin limped to her and asked, "Who are you?" Princess Jinyu looked at the man with a swollen head.

"Princess Jinyu, I am Yu Wenlin, the owner of Moyue Xiangming!" He said while touching his face.

"Your head is as swollen as a pig's. I didn't realize it! Hahaha!"

"These two who are engaged are really equally vicious in their words!" Yu Wenlin muttered to himself while forcing a smile.

"Where's Shan Zimo?" "He's been out for a while, he should be back soon, why don't you take a rest first, Princess, and wait for a while."

"Okay," Princess Jinyu waved her hand, and the palace servants outside the hall ran in, "Move all my things to Shan Zimo's courtyard!"

"Hmm?" Yuwen Lin asked in a questioning tone.

"I will stay in Longyin Villa for a few days," Princess Jinyu took the glass teacup handed to her by the palace maid. This was brought out from the palace by Princess Jinyu herself. "If you are not summoned, you don't need to serve me."

"Yes!" Yuwen Lin had already started cursing in his heart.

"What's going on!" Shan Boyu first saw a row of royal guards standing in front of the mansion, "Longyin Villa? Did we take the wrong road?"

"Could their house have been ransacked?" Zi Ling'er said, and the other three looked at her speechlessly.

"Longyin Villa?" Shan Zimo sneered, "As soon as I see the plaque, I know that the unruly princess is here!"

"Since Young Master Shan is engaged to the princess, and she's here, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the two of us to go."

"Not really, just live comfortably!" The four people continued walking towards the big house.

"Brother Zhu, look!" Zhu Shao pointed at the four people walking towards them.

Qu Ning looked carefully and said, "She is really here!" Although Qu Xuanyue was dressed as a man, she still could not escape the eyes of her brother and he recognized her at the first sight.

Seeing the four people approaching, Qu Ning and a few servants surrounded them. "Sister!" Qu Ning smiled crookedly, "You made it so difficult for me, a brother, to find you!"

"Who are you?" Shan Zimo asked.

"He is my daughter's brother, Xunning."

"You're the one who beat Yuwen Lin into a pig's head?" Shan Zimo walked in front of Qu Ning. Because of his height advantage, he had to lower his head to look at the man who was only as tall as his shoulders.

"It's me, my young master!" Qu Ning was not to be outdone. He stretched his neck and raised his head.

"You hid my sister, what's your intention? Sister!" Qu Ning tilted his head and looked at Qu Xuanyue behind Shan Zimo, "Did he kidnap you?"

"I kidnapped her?"

"You must be coveting my sister's beauty, you pervert!"

"Qian Ning! Shut up!" Qi Xuanyue stepped forward and pushed Qi Ning away, "Go home quickly and don't cause trouble here!"

"Okay, Xuanyue! You haven't even gotten married yet, but you're pushing your brothers out!" Seeing the guards in front of the door suddenly walking towards them, Qu Ning said, "Wait, I see my father is coming, what are you going to do! Brothers, let's go!" Qu Ning took Zhu Shao and the servants and left Longyin Villa.

"Master Shan!" One of the guards saluted with his fists clasped. "We are the guards of Princess Jinyu. We are stationed here by the order of Emperor Wu to protect the safety of the princess and the young master. Do I need to take action against those people?"

"No need! Absolutely no need!" Shan Zimo patted his shoulder, "Let him be!" After that, the four of them walked into Longyin Villa.

"It looks like I can't stay here any longer," Qu Xuanyue said with some worry, "I'm afraid that Qu Ning will come with my father and ask me to go back soon."

"Don't worry," Shan Zimo put his hands behind his head, "What's coming will come. Hiding all the time is not a solution!"

"Dan Zimo!" Someone suddenly called them. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Princess Jinyu who had been waiting for a long time.

"Qian Xuanyue?" Princess Jinyu looked at the young man next to Shan Zimo.

"You can see this too?" Shan Zimo asked.

"Look for yourself, her breasts are much higher than yours!" As soon as this was said, everyone blushed to their ears, and the palace servants hurried forward, "Princess, watch your words!"

"Is what I said wrong?" Princess Jinyu suddenly turned to Qu Xuanyue, "What are you doing here?"

"She..." Before Shan Zimo could finish, Princess Jinyu raised her hand to stop him from talking, "You are not going to marry Shan Zimo to avoid the draft, are you?"

"Huh?" Shan Zimo and Qu Xuanyue both looked incredulous.

"This princess advises you to give up that idea!" As she said that, she stepped forward and put her arm around Shan Zimo's arm, "This princess and Shan Zimo have an engagement granted by the Emperor Wu himself!" Shan Zimo could only smile awkwardly, and Qu Xuanyue had to bow and say goodbye, returning to her own room.

"Father!" Qu Ning came to the Hanlin Mansion, "My sister is already in the big house across the street!"

"Are you serious?" Qu Hanlin jumped up from his chair, "There won't be any more mistakes, right?" "Master Zhu! You tell me!"

"Replying to Lord Gu, we did meet Miss Gu in front of the mansion, and they have already gone in."

"They?" Qu Hanlin frowned, "Who else?"

"Master Shan! I told you that my sister had him hide, but Daddy just didn't believe me!"

"Then what are you waiting for? The audition day is approaching, why don't you come with me and invite your sister back!" With that, Qu Hanlin started to walk out.

Arriving outside the gate of Longyin Villa guarded by the imperial guards, he said, "Please inform the young master that I am a third-rank civil servant, Hanlin scholar, Yecheng, and would like to see you!"

After the guard went in to report, a short while later, Hanlin Qu brought Qu Ning into the mansion.

When he arrived at the hall and saw Princess Jinyu sitting there, Hanlin immediately knelt down and kowtowed. "Get up," Princess Jinyu said casually without even looking at her.

"Thank you, Princess!" Qu Hanlin and Qu Ning stood up from the ground and saluted Shan Zimo. "Master Shan, we meet again."

"What's wrong? You missed me after not seeing me for a few days?" Shan Zimo leaned back in his chair and looked at Qu Ning, who was gritting his teeth at him, with a smile.

"I have something important to do today," said the Hanlin, acting like a scholar. "I heard from my son that he saw my daughter at the Ling Mansion today, so he came to take her home."

"Yes, Miss Que is at my house. Whether I should go back with you or not depends on what Miss Que thinks." Shan Zimo waved his hand, and Shan Boyu immediately ran out to invite Qu Xuanyue over.

"Yue'er!" When Qu Hanlin saw Qu Xuanyue, his eyes were filled with tears. It was obvious that he was really sad. "You made your father suffer so much!" Qu Hanlin stepped forward and held Qu Xuanyue's hand. "Let's go home with daddy!"

"Father!" Xuanyue broke free from his hand, "I don't want to go back."

"Ah? What are you talking about?"

"Did you hear that?" Shan Zimo said with a smile, "We should still listen to the child's opinion!"

"Why don't you want to go back?" Qu Hanlin grabbed Qu Xuanyue's hands again, "To avoid the draft? Or..." Qu Hanlin looked at Shan Zimo who was standing beside him, "Or for Young Master Shan?"

"Huh?" Princess Jinyu was originally watching the fun, wanting to take Qu Xuanyue away quickly, but she heard Shan Zimo's name, which made her unhappy.

"No!" Qu Xuanyue quickly denied, which made Princess Jinyu feel relieved. "In that case," Qu Hanlin took Qu Xuanyue's hand, "Go back with father!"

Seeing that Qu Hanlin was determined, Shan Zimo was about to step forward to stop him, but was suddenly grabbed by Princess Jinyu at the side. He watched Qu Xuanyue being taken out of Longyin Villa by her father.

"Oh! All my work was in vain!" Yuwenlin sat back in his chair and sighed.

"Don't worry, at worst we can bring Zi Zhong out tonight!"
