The Aloof Prince Pampers His Wild First Rate Consort Chapter 40

Going out of the Xi Jin Yuan, Mu Yunjin sat inside the carriage playing with the phoenix tail whip admiringly
"Third Miss, we've arrived at the Xiang Fu."
The carriage soon stopped and Ding Xian's voice came from outside. Mu Yunjin gracefully pushed the window curtain aside to look outside the carriagge to see them stopped outside her Fu's door, then she looked towards the color of the sky and immediately turned towards Chu Li and smiled.
"It is almost dark, the Sixth Prince should go back and rest."
Hearing Mu Yunjin's voice, Chu Li's insipid eyes fell on Mu Yunjin, she rarely speak with him with no sarcasm, thinking that she really liked the Phoenix Tail Whip hence he faintly nodded.
......
After bidding farewell to Chu Li, Mu Yunjin went inside the doors of the Fu, just as she had set her foot inside, the housekeeper welcomed her cupping both hands he bowed towards her with a happy expression.
"Congratulations, Third Miss."
Mu Yunjin halted and raised an eyebrow, subconsciously she touched the Phoenix Tail Whip wrapped around her wrist, did news spread on this fast? Soon she replied to the housekeeper with a smile.
"Many thanks, w.a.n.gbo."
After saying those words she then walked towards the Front hall and saw the room filled with gift boxes wrapped in red silk, she was startled. Those gift boxes are placed closely packed inside the room, she turned towards the garden and the road are both covered firmly, on top of it all it is wrapped in red silk, could it be that this is......
Mu Yunjin paused and glanced inside the front hall to discver that it is also filled with people, Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu were sick so both are supported to take a seat inside. Everyone is looking at Mu Yunjin with different expressions.
"Yunjin, you've come back ah."
Mu Xiang looked at Mu Yunjin with a rare gentle smile.
"En, these things are?"
Mu Yunjin nodded, then her line of sight fell on the gift boxes. Having heard her, Mu Xiang even more had difficulty in covering his smiling expression.
"These are what the Sixth Prince ordered to be sent a moment ago, these are
betrothal gifts, a full sixty eight kinds of patterns more than that of regular tradition by several times, really shows sincerity."
Mu Yunjin is surprised, she slightly wrinkled her brows, she is with Chu Li all afternoon, she did not hear him say that he already prepared to send the betrothal gifts. It seems that she really can't escape from this marriage. Mu Yunjin consciously took out one jade from the boxes, and held it in her hands, soon after she gloomily sighed, as expected it is all valuable things. Chu Li this guy, in the end just how many hidden private businesses does he have that he can straightforwardly take out thirty thousand gold taels for her jade ornament and also send her so many gold and silver jewelries and valuable paintings as betrothal gifts, truly strange. It's just that all these things are now in the hands of Mu Xiang, it is really a pity.
"Originally I was worried over the Sixth Prince, on account of Yunjin's previous no good reputation, but now it seems that I was over thinking."
Su Biqing timely uttered towards this nearly piled up room filled with gifts, her chest filled with an obscure rage. Seeing Su Biqing begin to choke herself in anger, Mu Yunjin induced a smile before slightly frowning in worry and looked towards Mu Xiang.
"Father, that day mother said to Yunjin, because I have two younger sisters who will still get married there will be no good dowry for me. Now, the Sixth Prince suddenly sent so many betrothal gift here,
say we should not be poverty-stricken right?"
Mu Xiang heard Mu Yunjin, and his displeased line of sight swept towards Su Biqing before returning to Mu Yunjin.
"Do not worry, you are the Mu family's eldest daughter to be married, furthermore you are to marry into the Imperial household, how could father permit people to mock you."
"To have father's words, Yunjin feels rea.s.sured."
Mu Yunjin then glanced towards Su Biqing with a pleased expression. Mu Lingzhu who was silent all along, is still feeling weak, as she looked at the room filled with betrothal gifts she was feeling heart broken. She already fantasied this scenario countless times, now it came true but it is not with her. Chu Li that man, she somewhat understood, if he likes he likes, who he does not like he will not without end. Now this room is filled with betrothal gift, it is sufficient to represent his regards towards Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin.....
Mu Lingzhu clenched her teeth, looking forward she smiled bloomingly like a flower, but her eyes are completely cold, could it be that her years of hardship in studying literature for many years, gaining her a reputation as a number one talent, will end up just like this? This, how can she be willing!
Now, looking at the excitement for a long time, Mu Xiarou suddenly ran towards Mu Yunjin and intimately pulled at her arm.
"Congratulations Third Jiejie, it seems that after marrying the Sixth Prince, His Highness will certainly love jiejie dearly."
Mu Yunjin slightly twitched the corners of her mouth, especially towards the words 'will love jiejie dearly'.
"Yes ah, Yunjin's physiognomy is really blessed, Third mother is really happy."
Luo Ningyu also timely voiced out, her eyes gently looking at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin heard Luo Ningyu, she glanced towards the Third Madam, she ordinarily conducts low key and is gentle in temper
teaching Mu Xiarou this much, don't know if this Third Madam behind their back, her temper is the same.
......
Returning to Ascending Flower Pavilion, Zi Xiang immediately dashed out of the room and welcomed Mu Yunjin in a loud voice.
"Congratulations Miss! Congratulating the Miss!"
"Stop! you are not allowed to mention this matter again, my head hurts."
Mu Yunjin said to Zi Xiang, pausing her movements before stretching her neck.
Zi Xiang smiled, she had been with Mu Yunjin for so many days to already see through Mu Yunjin's temper therefore now she is not afraid of her so she continued to talk.
"The Sixth Prince's betrothal gift piled up the room, this time the big madam and fourth miss must be utmostly angry!"
"Furthermore, in the past they bullied young miss, now give them several hundreds of courage they will not dare to come and bully."
Zi Xiang spoke with eyes smeared with pride. Mu Yunjin listened and helplessly sighed as she poked Zi Xiang's forehead.
"You stinky girl, speaking loudly like that, are you not afraid of other people hearing you? Be careful if one day I am not here and people will take you to tear down your skin."
Mu Yunjin deliberately scaring Zi Xiang.
Zi Xiang is frightened, she immediately covered her mouth not daring to speak anymore.
"Miss, this servant won't speak irresponsibly this servant will prepare hot water for you to take a bath okay."
"En" Satisfied, Mu Yunjin nodded.
Behind the bedroom screen, Mu Yunjin lazily leaned inside the bathtub, the phoenix tail whip still on her wrist, no matter what she does she can't take it off. Zi Xiang who was standing on the side scattering flower petals inside the bathtub looked at the the Phonix Tail Whip on Mu Yunjin's wrist.
"Miss, where did this chain bracelet come from? It looks really stylish and goodlooking."
Chain bracelet?
Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow as she looked at this curled up small whip her eyes a trace of concern, this Phoenix tail whip is really as what the old man says, that it is spiritual in nature.
"Chu Li gave it to me."
Mu Yunjin touched her wrist as she mildly replied. Hearing it, Zi Xiang covered her mouth to smile.
"The Sixth prince, towards the young miss is really good. I am really curious about Miss and the Sixth prince making a progress to which step!"
"Gossipy!"
Mu Yunjin scolded Zi Xiang.
"Gossipy? Young Miss, you and the Sixth Prince will go a fortune teller?" (Yunjin said 'Ba gua' which means gossipy but another meaning is something to do with the eight divinatory trigrams reason why Zi Xiang misunderstood.)
......
Early morning the next day, the sleeping Mu Yunjin softly opened her eyes to see Zi Xiang standing beside her bed.
"Miss, quickly get up, Qu Momo (Wet Nurse Qu) has come."
Mu Yunjin slightly looked distracted, she seem to recall that Qu Momo is the Qin Tai Fei's(Imperial Concubine Qin) person therefore she got up with a yawn.
"Why did Qu Momo come?"
"Today, Qin Tai Fei and Zheng Tai hou (Empress Dowager Zheng) wants to go to the Shui Yun Temple (Water Cloud Temple), Qin Tai Fei specially invited miss to go together, Qu Momo had come to the Fu to pa.s.s this message."
Zi Xiang replied. Mu Yunjin nodded, at the mention of Shui Yun Temple she can't help to think about that day Zi Xiang mentioned the Millenium Old Tree. Don't know if today she will have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of it. Thinking of the Millenium Old Tree, Mu Yunjin's heart indescribably throbbed, that mysterious force once again emerging, drawing her closely.
......
Inside the front hall, as soon as Mu Yunjin walked in, all eyes fell on her, she was wearing a shallow water green dress, her hair coiled in a simple bun adorned only by a single jasper hairpin, her appearance gives the impression of simple yet elegant, quiet and contented but also not to miss being quick-witted.
"Qu Momo good. I have let you wait for a long time."
Mu Yunjin greeted directly towards Qu Momo who was sitting opposite of Su Biqing. Qu Momo smiled and nodded, she got up to comfort Mu Yunjin.
"Third Miss is polite."
Mu Yunjin smiled, she took note of Su Biqing who was sitting beside Qu Momo had a grave expression, she has no interest in greeting her. Pausing, Mu Yunjin saw Yang Momo, Zheng Tai Hou's person. Could it be that they have also invited Mu Lingzhu?
She then saw Mu Lingzhu walk in, even if it was to meditate, she wore a light pink with beautiful cambodian inlays, it also has big lotus flower embroidery, her hair is coiled in a bun that is adorned with seven-colored b.u.t.terfly hairpin, all of it to reveal her charm.
Seeing Mu Lingzhu's beautiful clothes, Mu Yunjin bowed her head to look at her already somewhat old clothes. She sighed at this different treatment ah! Su Biqing's eyes swept towards Mu Lingzhu's dress her eyes flashed witb admiration.
"Zhu'er, Yunjin, today you two will follow Tai Hou and Tai Fei to go to Shui Yun Temple, you should know your place and must not allow Tai Hou and Tai Fei to be inconvenienced understand?"
Su Biqing said to the two of them. Mu Lingzhu nodded and smiled.
"Mother, be at ease Zhu'er will surely not cause trouble to the Tai Hou and Tai Fei."
"Xiang Furen please be at ease, in the whole b.u.t.terfly Flower City, who does not know that your family's fourth miss is gentle. Tai Hou herself saw the fourth miss last time and is full of praise."
Yang Momo said towards Su Biqing with a smile. Su Biqing nodded, her eyes had difficulty to suppress her pride. Qu Momo faintly smiled then looked at the time then faced Mu Yunjin.
"Third Miss, the carriage is already prepared outside the Fu, we better set out early."
