Your Majesty, the princess ran away again!

Chapter 111 9 Color Palace

"I didn't expect fifth brother to be so generous." The person who spoke was the eighth prince Jun Shiyan.

"Old Eight, when have I, your fifth brother, ever been stingy? Didn't I give you five Ferghana horses on your birthday last year?" Jun Yichen swayed the sake in his glass and narrowed his eyes.

"Okay, Old Eight, stop talking nonsense." Jun Mochen was dressed in white with a few drops of ink on the hem of his skirt, which made him look even more ethereal.

"Seventh Brother." Mu Nanyan bent her eyebrows and smiled. Every time she approached him, she would feel at ease.

"I hope you are well, sister-in-law." Jun Mochen nodded to him and took out the prepared gift.

Mu Nanyan took it without hesitation. As soon as she opened the folded paper, it fell all over the floor. She was so shocked that she froze in place, "This..."

Jun Mochen squatted down, picked up the letter on the ground and stuffed it into Jun Zhuoyuan's arms, "It's just a small token of my appreciation."

"Seventh brother, I'm afraid your ink is not dry yet." Mu Nanyan touched the words on the letter.

Jun Mochen smiled slightly, "It happened suddenly, and I didn't expect this kid to catch up with you today. I can only ask the servants to bring paper and pen to write a gift list, and send it to your house tomorrow. Just take the gift list and check it."

Mu Nanyan was so shocked that her mother opened the door. She was shocked to the core. This child from a rich family was extraordinary, worthy of being the daughter of the Empress. The gift almost scared her to death.

The eighth prince Jun Shiyan said proudly, "Since the gifts from my brothers are all money and other things, I can only give my ninth brother and sister-in-law a few mountains. I heard that my brother and sister-in-law are good at medicine. The feng shui of these mountains is very good. You can grow some medicinal herbs or something."

Mu Nanyan bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Bah. I was just worrying about this matter, and now you have delivered it."

The few of them didn't exchange a few pleasantries. Jun Zhuoyuan took her hand and turned to leave. The Sixth Prince Jun Chengfeng walked over sickly, "Ahem - Ninth Brother, Ahem - Sixth Brother is late. I haven't been feeling well these days. I hope you can forgive me if I'm a little sick."

Jun Zhuoyuan looked at him and said, "If that's the case, Sixth Brother should just rest in the palace. I don't know what Concubine Duan was thinking. She let you go out to see the wind even though you're coughing like this."

"Mother asked me to come out for a walk because she was afraid that if I stayed in the room for too long, my condition would get worse. I didn't expect to encounter such a happy event today. Sixth brother doesn't have any expensive gifts, but I happened to get a few red fox furs a few days ago, so I'll give them to my sister-in-law to buy new clothes." Jun Chengfeng covered his chest with his hand, his face pale.

Mu Nanyan bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Sixth Brother."

"You don't have to be so polite, sister-in-law. As a brother, I'm happy to see my ninth brother find someone he likes."

Jun Zhuoyuan snorted in his heart, this sixth brother is really good at pretending. His mother, Concubine Duan, is not a good person at all. The son she raised is actually at a higher level than her.

Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't tear his face off for no reason. Jun Zhuoyuan could only smile and express his gratitude. There was no reason not to accept the money that was delivered to his door.

Murong Yue listened to these words from below, her nails digging into her flesh. She cursed in her heart: "You bitch, you seduce every man you see. How can you be worthy of His Royal Highness Prince Li? You even dare to accept so many gifts. Do you know the rules?"

Mu Xiwen stared at her from a distance, and was relieved to see that Murong Yue just looked a little unhappy and didn't make any small movements in private. It seemed that she had listened to what he had just told her.

The purpose of entering the palace today was not to cheer for the dead girl, but to look for the future emperor. He looked at the princes above and had a rough plan in his mind. He would go home tonight and write a letter to the people above and then make plans. If he had decided on a candidate, he would quickly let Yue'er meet him a few times to finalize the marriage.

Emperor Tianyou and the Empress left their seats in the middle of the banquet on the pretext of being drunk. The remaining concubines lost interest when they saw the emperor and empress leave, and gradually returned to the palace. Jun Zhuoyuan took Mu Nanyan to the Jiucai Palace, which was a palace specially built for Concubine Chun by the emperor during her lifetime. It looks ordinary from the outside, but the interior is covered with colored glaze, and the lights hung in the middle reflect nine colors, so it is called the Jiucai Palace.

Jun Zhuoyuan brought her to the main hall, where the tablet of Concubine Chun was placed in the middle. Although she had passed away for many years, there was not a trace of dust in the hall. Jun Zhuoyuan knelt on the cushion in front of the coffin, and Mu Nanyan knelt down with him.

Jun Zhuoyuan took Mu Nanyan's hand and looked directly at the spirit tablet. "Mother, I am late. I wanted to come earlier but was delayed by the border affairs. Today I brought my wife to see you. She is very beautiful, has a very good personality, and is smart and capable."

Mu Nanyan straightened her back, her eyes burning, "Don't worry, mother. With me here, Jun Zhuoyuan will never be alone again. I will protect him."

Jun Zhuoyuan was deeply touched: I heard it right, my wife said she wanted to protect me. My wife is so kind, and she is so cute when viewed from the side.

The two of them lit incense and bowed in accordance with the rules. After leaving the palace, Jun Zhuoyuan was reluctant to send her back to the Mu Mansion and stopped at the door for a long time, "Wife, are you really willing to leave me?"

Mu Nanyan was speechless. She was going home to sleep, not to go far away. Why should she leave? "Brother, we haven't gotten married yet. Isn't it not good for you to keep talking about your wife?"

"What's wrong with that? Of course I have to call my wife, whom I won with my own strength, call her that every day." Jun Zhuoyuan raised his eyebrows, his face full of pride.

"As long as you are happy." Mu Nanyan shook her head helplessly.

Wanxi pushed open the door and stuck her head out, "Miss."

Mu Nanyan turned around and said to her, "I understand. I'll be back right away."

Wan Xi felt a chill on her neck and met Jun Zhuoyuan's murderous gaze. She quickly retracted her head and closed the door, feeling that she would almost not survive the night.

Mu Nanyan pinched his face and said softly, "Okay, I really have to go back. My shop has not been open for a while since I was away. Now that I'm back, I have to open it quickly to save up some dowry for myself."

"Why are you saving for a dowry? Everything in the palace is yours. Wife, why don't you come back to the palace with me tonight!" Jun Zhuoyuan became more and more excited as he spoke. Fortunately, Mu Nanyan punched him.

Mu Nanyan poked his head and asked, "Is there nothing else on your mind except love? Can you focus on your career?"

Jun Zhuoyuan asked: "What's the business?"

Mu Nanyan rolled her eyes. This communication was...

"It's about making money and fighting for power. Anything other than dating that is not against the law and that you enjoy doing is considered a career."

Jun Zhuoyuan put his arm around Mu Nanyan's waist and said, "My favorite thing to do is to be with you."

"Okay, stop joking. I really have something to do. See you tomorrow." After saying that, Mu Nanyan turned around and rushed into the mansion, lifting her skirt.

As expected, men are the biggest stumbling blocks in one’s career. However, if this stumbling block is Jun Zhuoyuan, it doesn’t seem so bad.

Wan Xi appeared out of nowhere, "Miss, why is your face so red? Are you sick? I told you to take me with you. Is it because Wushuang didn't take good care of me?"

Wushuang was squatting on the wall. When he heard this, he flew over and said, "Wanxi, is your illness the only thing on your mind? Can't you see that the young lady is in love?"

Wan Xi was stunned for a moment, and after she recovered, she covered her face with her hands, "Miss, Wan Xi didn't mean it."

Mu Nanyan smiled awkwardly. Damn it, he knew all this private information. She quickly changed the subject: "Okay, go back to the yard and report to me the current situation of the shop."

The three of them returned to Jinsheng Courtyard. Mu Nanyan had just sat down when Jiang came over with her pair of children.

"Big sister." When Mu Yuhuai saw the person sitting in the main hall, he let go of Jiang's hand and ran in happily.

"Yu Huai." Mu Nanyan squatted down and hugged the person in her arms.

After not seeing him for a few days, the child looks much better. It seems that the poison has been completely eliminated. There is more flesh on his face. It feels really good to pinch it. He is so chubby and cute.

Mu Xiyao said sourly: "Big sister only has Yu Huai in her eyes, not me. It seems that she has been away for so long that she has forgotten me."

Mu Nanyan stood up and said, "I can forget anyone but you, my happy fruit. I went out too suddenly this time and I didn't bring any gifts back. I will definitely bring some next time."

Jiang looked at the three people, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened a little. "Yan'er, let your aunt see if you have lost weight." Mu Nanyan turned several circles in Jiang's hands. Jiang let her go when she saw that she had not lost a pound.

Mu Xiyao teased, "It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Li has taken good care of my elder sister. Her complexion has become much more rosy."

"Yaoyao!" Mu Nanyan pretended to be angry.

"Good, it's really great." Jiang held her hand and stroked it from time to time. "I just heard about the palace. This marriage is good. Don't listen to the muddy descriptions of His Highness Prince Li outside. In my opinion, His Highness is a truly affectionate and sensible person."

Sensible?

Aunt Jiang, are you sure you are really praising him? With just these few deeds of his, anyone who hears them will drop their jaws. Only she, Mu Nanyan, can reluctantly accept him.

Jiang and his companions did not bother her any further. They told her that Su was out of town and could not come to see her tonight, and then left.

Wan Xi held the account book and reported, "Miss, take a look, these are all the new things we bought in the past few days. The shop is ready, and we are just waiting for you to take a look."

Mu Nanyan flipped through the account book. The contents were written in great detail, even the amount of water the workers drank every day was written down. "Not bad, not bad. Who keeps this account for Wanxi?"

Wan Xi blushed and said shyly, "Miss, is there something wrong with me? I'll fix it now."

Mu Nanyan shook her head. "No problem. It's very well written and very detailed. Even I can't write such an account book."

After saying this, Wan Xi's face turned even redder.

Mu Nanyan's energy was exhausted, and she didn't have the heart to tease her anymore. She took out the prescription she had written and said, "Wanxi, you will follow the prescription tomorrow. There is a clear dosage on it. Take Yuanwu with you to buy the herbs tomorrow. Put the purchased herbs directly in the shop. You don't have to bring them back to the house. The yard is too small to hold them. Don't worry about money. We have everything you want. Just choose the quality."

"It's Miss."

"Okay, you guys go and rest too, I can handle the rest myself."

After the two left, Mu Nanyan climbed onto the small bed she had been waiting for for a long time. Just as she lay down, she heard a gurgling sound outside.
