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

Chapter 29: King Liang presents Peony with a Golden Crown and strikes back at the Tea Girl

Li Huaijin gently opened the box and took out a golden hairpin. Mu Jinan opened his mouth in surprise.

She couldn't believe it and asked, "What is this?"

Li Huaijin's eyes were as bright as the moon. If he wanted to give her a gift, he would give her the most expensive and largest peony. He said with a doting look:

"I ordered the craftsman to make this golden peony hairpin and give it to Jin'an."

Mu Jinan's pupils were shocked, and he said in surprise:

"This isn't a hairpin, it's a crown, it's so big"

Li Huaijin looked at her money-obsessed eyes, and after returning home he sent someone to deliver a few boxes of gold cakes:

"How do you like it?"

Mu Jinan nodded and said with a smile: "I like it"

A satisfied smile flashed across Li Huaijin's eyes. He picked up the hairpin and wanted to put it on her personally. His tone was gentle:

"I put it on for you"

Mu Jinan asked curiously, "Is this gilded?"

Li Huaijin was very happy to see such a small gift from her, and said only two words:

“Pure Gold”

Mu Jinan's eyebrows were full of joy. He was so touched. It was pure gold! ! Solid, thick, big enough, and a little heavy to wear.

Fanshu came to report: "Madam, the King Rui has come, and the general asked you to go over to meet the guest."

Mu Jinan asked: "Why is he here?"

"You go down first, I'll go later"

Mu Jinan stood up to go to the banquet, Li Huaijin sighed helplessly:

"It seems that I will have to give you more gold next time, so that Li Heng won't come to bother you and you won't have the heart to see him."

Mu Jinan was a little surprised. Li Huaijin didn't seem to be the same as he saw:

"You're calling him by his first name? He's your uncle."

Li Huaijin was a little jealous and pulled at her sleeve, not wanting her to leave. They only met once every few days and spent only a cup of tea together without saying a word:

"Why not?"

Mu Jinan felt that Li Heng must be coming for Mu Yun, so he didn't think much about it and said softly:

"You think too much, he has no interest in me"

There was a cold light in Li Huaijin's eyes, and when he stood up, a trace of pain flashed across his expression.

Some people couldn't help coughing twice, but soon recovered.

Mu Jinan hurriedly asked with concern: "Prince, have you caught a cold? Go back to the palace and find a doctor to see you."

Li Huaijin held on, not wanting to make her worry:

"The king is strong and healthy, you don't need to worry"

Mu Jinan was a little hesitant, but Fanshu came to urge him, so he had to leave quickly.

After a while, Mu Jinan returned to the banquet. She looked at Li Heng, wondering what he was going to do today.

She crossed her arms and saluted, "Greetings, King Rui."

Li Heng thought of what happened between her and Li Huaijin just now, and felt a little unhappy. He didn't know what he felt. He smiled and said:

"Today is a welcome day for my wife, this gift is for my wife"

He opened the box and saw a pair of silver-gilt flower hairpins, the patterns of which were intricately carved and as thin as a cicada's wing.

Seeing that this was also a cultural relic, Mu Jinan quickly refused:

"This item is valuable. It is my honor that Your Majesty has come here. Please take it back."

Li Heng's eyes flashed with cunning, and he started to make plans again:

"Since Second Lady Mu refuses to accept it, there is no reason for me to take back what I have given away, so I will give it to Third Lady Mu."

As he spoke, he handed the jewelry to Ce'an, who bowed and took it. He came to Mu Yun. She looked grim, but she forced a smile and said in return:

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie Rui"

At this time, Li Huaijin returned to the banquet, sat down without saying a word.

The ladies whispered, "Prince Rui is now the most favored prince in front of His Majesty. Who dares to refuse his gift?"

I heard again: "Mrs. Mu gave something that she didn't like to the Third Lady. How would the Third Lady feel?"

"I wonder what King Rui means?"

A civil official said: "That day at the archery range, I saw Prince Liang and Lady Mu working together. They were a perfect match made in heaven."

Another young man said:

"You like this lady, but I don't dare. I saw her being vicious that day. There seemed to be some evil spirit in her eyes. She was bloodthirsty and murderous. How could she be a lady from a noble family?"

A general, Yan Yi, said angrily: "Madam Mu's skills are superb, she is fearless in the face of the enemy, and she is brave and righteous. What do you know?"

There was a hint of something strange in Mu Chen's eyes that no one noticed. He saw that she was always so weak, but she was like this outside?

He then said: "Today, the palace has prepared games such as chuiwan, sumo, and archery. You young ladies and gentlemen can all participate."

Everyone dispersed, Mu Yun gave Qiu Yu a look, and Qiu Yu left.

Mu Jinan walked towards the archery range, slowing down her pace and trying to stay away from the crowd.

Gradually she was left alone.

Mu Yun stood at the corner, quietly looking at Mu Jinan, thinking:

"I'll see you make a fool of yourself in front of our distinguished guests."

Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from afar. Mu Jinan looked up and saw a swarm of bees swarming towards her.

She sneered: "A trifle."

She took out an exquisite little gourd and sprinkled the powder in the gourd onto the branches and petals. The bees immediately pounced on the petals.

Mu Yun watched the bee change direction, feeling a little annoyed but also afraid of being discovered by others.

She wanted to destroy Mu Jinan's appearance. Those bees were poisonous. Once bitten, the skin would ulcerate. The antidote was in her hands.

She is ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, Mu Jinan saw her figure and immediately chased after her, shouting:

"Sister, shall we go archery together?"

Mu Yun turned around hurriedly: "Sister, I am not good at riding and shooting"

Mu Jinan held her tightly with one hand and gently "stroked" her back with the other hand. A hint of evil flashed in his bright eyes, and he whispered in her ear:

"Sister, don't use such cheap tricks in the future, be careful not to hurt yourself by mistake"

The corner of her mouth raised a smile, and before Mu Yun could finish her words, she let go and turned away.

Mu Yun was so angry that she clutched her handkerchief and gritted her teeth and said inwardly:

"Mu Jinan, I don't believe you can get away with it every time"

She walked straight forward and suddenly heard a sound getting closer.

"buzzing"

"Buzz"

She turned around and saw the bees flying towards her. She was terrified and covered her face with her sleeves, shouting, "Help!"

"what"

A bee stung her forehead, and a large red bump instantly appeared. She screamed in pain:

"Someone come quickly"

"help"

When everyone heard the sound, they looked over here, only to see a swarm of bees and no one dared to come over.

Li Heng came here specially today to save Mu Yun. He gave the bee poison to Mu Yun on purpose:

“Bring a torch”

He poured the wine on his clothes, tore off the colorful silk in the garden, poured the wine on them, and hurried to Mu Yun's side.

She covered her face and swatted the bees with colorful silk.

Mu Yun hid behind Li Heng. She endured the pain, a hint of admiration in her eyes:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Heng intentionally touched Mu Yun's hand:

"My wife is injured, go get medical treatment quickly"

Mu Yun left with a shy look on her face.

Mu Chen took the opportunity to use fire to drive away the smoke and bees:

"Why are there so many bees in the mansion?"

Li Huaijin sat there, with a barely perceptible arrogance in his eyes:

"This little fox"

The servants dared not speak. Mu Yun came into the house and the maid Qiuyu applied medicine to her. She said in pain, "Be gentle."

When the guests had left later, Mu Chen sent someone to check: "Are there any beehives anywhere in the mansion?"

The servant reported: "General, we have searched carefully and there is no beehive."

Mu Chen turned his back, and everyone left, leaving only Butler Xu. He spoke slowly with a serious face:

"Linshan, what do you think about what happened today?"

Butler Xu Linshan bowed and said, "Since there is no beehive, someone deliberately released these bees into the mansion."

Mu Chen asked doubtfully: "Who put it there?"

Xu Linshan said: "Those bees seem to be flying only towards Miss Sanniang."

"Is it the Second Lady's fault? She fell into the water a few days ago and the sisters were fighting with each other."

"dong dong dong"

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and Wurong said softly outside:

"General"

Xu Linshan bowed and left. Wurong came into the house and brought in the tea and fruit. She said worriedly:

"I just went to see Miss San, and saw that her forehead was red and swollen from being stung. It was heartbreaking."

"How can you get married if such a beautiful face is disfigured?"

Mu Chen already had some doubts about Mu Jinan in his heart. He had lost his manners in front of the distinguished guests today, and the situation was not good. He was furious at this moment:

"I wonder who is operating these bees?" He always felt that this matter was a bit suspicious.
