In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Mu Yun was hiding something. For some reason, she couldn't stop thinking about Li Heng after meeting him that day. It was like a familiar feeling.

“Maybe in a while.”

Xiao Wan saw that she was evasive in her words. Although she was cruel and ruthless, she doted on her daughter very much. She wanted Mu Yun to kill Mu Jinan, but she was worried that the truth would be revealed and Mu Yun would be implicated, so she swallowed the words back:

"You must capture Mr. Lu's heart"

"Be careful of that bitch. When I get out, I'll make sure she knows how powerful I am."

Mu Yun nodded: "Mother, I have to go first. Father will tell you after a while."

Mu Yun was walking on the mossy stone path in the backyard. Her father had already returned. Why did Lu Mingxu only agree verbally and not come to propose marriage?

The maid Chunyang came to report: "Madam San, the general asked you to go to the front hall to meet the guests."

Mu Yun asked her, "Who is the guest?"

Chun Yang said: "Your Highness Prince Rui"

Mu Yun asked in confusion: "He has no relationship with my family."

Qiu Yu, the maidservant beside her, said happily: "Perhaps it was a coincidence that we met on the boat last time. The prince saw that you are beautiful and wanted to come to the mansion to visit you."

After a while, Mu Yun came to Mu Ningzhai in the front hall and saw Father, Li Heng, and Mu Jinan were all there:

"Greetings to King Rui, Father is well, sister."

Mu Chen had also heard that Li Heng had killed thousands of people when he was young, and knew that he was a scheming man, so he didn't want to make close friends with him:

"I wonder what important matter has King Rui come to visit me personally today?"

Li Heng was interested in the military power of the Mu family, and also in Mu Jinan's status as the daughter of a princess. He stood up and replied respectfully:

"General, I have just returned to Chang'an and have been alone most of the time. Today I have nothing to do and I have heard of your great reputation, so I came to visit you."

Mu Chen commanded the three armies, so how could he not understand his thoughts? He responded politely:

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

“These are my two daughters.”

Mu Jinan and Mu Yun stood up and saluted.

Li Heng acted like a modest gentleman, but deliberately provoked:

"Today, I saw Mr. Lu making a hairpin for a lady in Xingyuan Pavilion. He has good taste, so I asked him to help me choose this gilded hollow hibiscus hairpin as a gift for the lady, but I only bought one."

Mu Chen was confused. What was the intention of Prince Rui? Did he want to destroy the marriage with the Lu family and focus on Mu Yun?

Mu Jinan vaguely remembered that in the original text, he always deliberately gave gifts, only one, to stir up conflicts between the sisters:

"Your Highness Prince Rui, I am the elder sister, and I will give this hairpin to my younger sister."

Li Heng did not hide his feelings for Mu Yun, which made Mu Yun feel admiration for him. He was also a prince, and Lu Mingxu was no match for him:

"That makes sense. Next time I will not be so careless."

Mu Yun suppressed her anger. Lu Mingxu hadn't even gotten married yet, but he was already so dissolute. If she really married him, wouldn't she have to spend the rest of her life in sorrow?

She stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wurong came to serve tea, and Li Heng tasted it:

"This tea is fresh and refreshing, fragrant but not astringent, and has a long aftertaste. This tea tastes just as good as the one in the palace."

Mu Chen said modestly: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. How can our house be compared with the palace?"

Li Heng used his trump card and took out the treasure. Mu Jinan recognized the artifact at a glance:

"General Mu fought in the Yellow Sands, for the sake of the public interest, forgetting his own interests, guarding our territory and protecting the people of Shengguo. We, the princes, are idle in Chang'an, drinking and having fun every day, and we feel ashamed in our hearts."

"This thing is a golden monster. It has a body like a sheep, horns like a deer, an eagle's beak and a scorpion's tail. There are many bird patterns hidden on the golden body. It was once the crown ornament of the king of the grassland several dynasties ago."

"I give this to you today. May you be victorious in battle and have a great victory in the future."

Mu Chen saw that he was giving gifts to please him, and he didn't like them. If he gave him a few military books, maybe Mu Chen would accept them:

"I, an old man, have a deep affection for Chu Nang. I fought bloody battles only for the stability of my prosperous country. I dare not take credit for it."

"Your Highness Prince Rui has requested to reduce the garrison period for the frontier soldiers so that they can return home to visit their families. I am grateful and your kindness is enough. Please take back the generous gift."

Li Heng knew when to advance and retreat, and he no longer forced himself after hearing this. He also knew that Mu Chen had strict military discipline and acted openly, just like in his previous lives:

"I am sorry to bother you today. It is rare for the general to return to Chang'an, so I will not disturb the general's reunion with his family."

Afterwards, Mu Chen sent Li Heng away. Mu Jin'an felt that Li Heng was scheming. He had the protection of Emperor Ming, won over Prince Qi, and pleaded for the soldiers. Today, he also tried to please Li Heng by giving him a crown and ornaments. He had taken care of everything.

Fortunately, seeing that Mu Chen was not willing to have a close relationship with Li Heng, she had to seize the opportunity in the original text when Emperor Ming was in danger while hunting and confront him head-on, otherwise the marriage would be an imperial decree and she would be powerless to resist.

The night was deep, and the Xiyue Hall was pitch black. The veil fluttered. Mu Jinan was having a sweet dream. She dreamed that Li Huaijin hugged her and muttered:

'Annoying'

Her fingers were getting colder and colder. She opened her eyes hazily and saw a snake staring at her in the darkness:

"what--"

"snake"

"Cousin, help, cousin"

Suddenly I remembered that Nangong Yu was not here, but in Xuanzhou.

She looked at the bed and the mouse and killed it with one sword.

Her heart was beating wildly. She was most afraid of this. Who was it? Xiao Wan or Mu Yun?

Meiluo quickly ran into the house and hugged Mu Jinan:

"My lady, don't be afraid, I'll get you out, don't be afraid"

Mu Jinan was breathing heavily. Seeing that Xiao Wan and her daughter were both despicable and dirty, who else could it be but them?

.....

Two days later, the moonlight was bright and the stars in the night sky were like bright lights embellishing the bustling streets where people were coming and going.

The lights in the attic are just coming on. Looking down from the high platform, the streets are full of lights and noise, and everyone has a comfortable smile on their face.

Inside Hu Yulou in Pingkangfang, the women with slender waists and flowing dance skirts are affectionate, listening to music and reciting poems, feeling so relaxed.

Mu Jinan was wearing a bamboo green men's robe with a stand-up collar, a gold and jade belt around his waist, a small mustache, his hair was tied up with a gold hairpin, and he held a gold and jade fan in his hand.

Meiluo was with her in men's clothing.

As soon as she entered Hu Yulou, several women surrounded her when they saw how lavishly he was dressed.

"My dear, let me serve you today."

"Let me do it"

Mu Jinan hugged them left and right, and felt that their fragrance was attractive, so he laughed heartily and said:

"I'll find you next time. Did Madam Qin Yu light the lamp today?"

A woman said: "Qin Yu has been accompanying Xiao Langjun recently, but Xiao Langjun hasn't come yet."

Mu Jinan said loudly: "If she hasn't come yet, I will light a lamp for her today."

The woman asked, “This?”

Mu Jinan took out a gold ingot, and the woman immediately said happily:

"My dear, this way please"

She came to the Miaoyin Pavilion on the second floor, lit the lantern outside the door, opened the door and walked in. She saw Madam Qin Yu, who was gentle and charming, and said in a soft voice:

"Lord"

Qin Yu came to Mu Jinan with a glass of wine in her bare feet. Mu Jinan smelled it, drank it all, and praised:

"I didn't expect that Madam Qin Yu would be so beautiful and graceful. It really makes me feel pity for her."

Madam Qin Yu's cheeks flushed as she said:

"Do you want to listen to the zither or the pipa?"

Mu Jinan gently lifted her chin and said softly:

"Since I have already lit my wife's lantern tonight, I just want to spend a good night with her. What's the point of listening to the zither?"

As Mu Jinan spoke, his slender fingers gently lifted her skirt, and Madam Qin Yu turned pale and said:

"My dear, I already have someone I love, and I will only serve him."

Mu Jinan asked angrily: "Who is that person?"

Qin Yu said: "Mr. Xiao"

Mu Jinan grabbed her arm, showing no mercy:

"Is he as rich as I am? Is he as charming as I am? Today I must have you serve me."

Qin Yu cried and said, "Please have mercy on me, my lord. He will redeem me soon. Can I play a few songs for you?"

Mu Jinan was about to get angry when she heard a bang outside the door. She turned around and said:

"Who dares to break in?"

Their eyes widened in an instant. Li Huaijin saw that she was hugging the woman's waist, and she was completely stunned. The fan in her hand fell to the ground, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Mu Jinan's eyes were filled with panic. Why was he here?

"Get out"

Meiluo quickly closed the door. Mu Jinan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but she still tried her best to act. She said angrily:

"I don't want to listen to music. Either you follow me tonight, or Mr. Xiao redeems you tonight."

Li Huaijin stood outside the door, not knowing whether to leave or not, with a gloomy face.

I only heard Zezhou whisper:

"Your Majesty, does Madam Mu have this kind of hobby?"

Li Huaijin couldn't believe it and breathed a sigh of relief:

"To shut up"

I saw a man going up to the second floor. This man was Xiao Hechuan, Xiao Wan's younger brother. He had some skills, but he had a special liking for Hu Yuqinyu. When he saw Li Huaijin standing in front of the door, he immediately bowed and said:

"King Liang, are you here too?"

"Are you here to see Madam Qin Yu as well?"

Li Huaijin said coldly: "No"

Xiao Hechuan came to Qin Yu's house and knocked on the door: "Madam, I am Xiao Lang"

Mu Jinan locked the door from inside the house, and finally waited for him, and challenged him with words:

"Tonight, I lit Qin Yu's lantern, and she wants to accompany me"

Xiao Hechuan said that Qin Yu could only serve him, and he spent a lot of money on her:

"Who are you? Qin Yu is mine"

Mu Jinan laughed up to the sky, wanting to end this matter quickly:

"According to the rules of Hu Yulou, whoever lights the lantern can spend the night with his wife."

"If you dare to yell again, Pan will crush your bones."

Although Mu Jinan was competing with Xiao Hechuan, he was distracted and thought to himself: "I wonder if the prince will leave now?"
