Bright Spring

The Mu family's ancestral home is not from Yunnan, but Mu Zhen was born in Kunming City.She has no impression of Fengyang, her ancestral home, and only regards Kunming as her hometown.

The big banyan tree outside the mansion seems to have always grown there, fish often jump out of the water in Caohaizi, and all kinds of birds can always be seen on Dianchi Lake.Mu Zhen has long been used to it, but when she was about to leave here, she realized that she was so reluctant to part with all this.

Her father was also often very strict, Mu Zhen was always afraid of him, and sometimes she was afraid of bumping into him.But when Mu Zhen knew that her father would stay and that she would part with him soon, she truly felt how important her father, Mu Sheng, was to the family.

Mu Sheng loves to read alone, and is often taciturn. Except for talking about business, he doesn't chat and laugh with his family.But at this moment, Mu Zhen understood that her father always valued his family more than himself in his heart, so he would rather stay and deal with it alone.

Mu Zhen also remembered that when she was taught by her father, there was always thunder and rain.Although he is very fierce, but in retrospect, Mu Zhen has never been beaten by him in such a big age.

"Woooooo..." Mu Zhen hid in the corner and cried softly.

"Bang!" A firework exploded in the air with a loud sound, and at this moment Mu Zhen cried even louder.When she calmed down a bit, she endured it, for fear of being heard by her parents, which would only increase their sorrow.

The Mu family was in such a catastrophe, and my cousin really helped a lot... Everything is your fault!Geng Hao's voice rang in her ears again.Until today, Mu Zhen regretted it too late.

…After the New Year’s Eve, until the Lantern Festival, the first half of the first month is the Chinese New Year festival, all the government offices will not work, and most of the common people and farmers will not work. People are immersed in the joy of the New Year.

At the family banquet, Mu Zhen secretly took a jug of good wine that had been cellared for more than ten years, and hid it in her boudoir.

When it was the Shangyuan Festival, when it was dawn early in the morning, she and A-mei went to look for A-mei's fellow countryman, who was a servant of the Yi nationality who lived on Banyan Street to the west of Mu's mansion.As long as there is a jug of good wine, the Yi slave will secretly let them out for Amei's sake.Been like this many times, never had an issue.

Mu Zhen disguised herself as a man, wearing a blue lapel robe and a big hat.A-mei was still wearing her colorful homespun clothes.The two went out from Banyan Tree Street. It was still dark at this time, and the light on this street was even darker, so they walked away quickly.

The two came to Guangzhi Gate, the nearest north gate of Hanwang Mansion.But Mu Zhen didn't go to the gatehouse, she just wandered around and walked around several times.

A-mei didn't know what she was going to do, but she just looked curiously at the tall tower of Hanwang Mansion; A-mei had lived in Kunming for many years, but she still felt strange about Hanwang's Mansion, which was built last year.

Mu Zhen looked very hesitant, neither asked A-Mei to go to the tower to do something, nor to leave, she buried her head and frowned, just walked back and forth outside the door.

At this moment, a corner door of the gatehouse of Guangzhi Gate opened, and a carriage and several horses came out from the gatehouse.

Mu Zhen observed for a while, looking at the eunuch driving the chariot and the guards wearing civilian clothes on horseback, then she turned her head and said, "This is the carriage of the King of Han..." She glanced at the direction of the carriage again, "Maybe the King of Han It’s going to the pear garden over at Cai Haizi, every time he goes to the theater, it’s easy.”

A-mei carefully asked: "Aren't we going to assassinate the King of Han?"

Mu Zhen rolled her eyes, "Are you okay?"

A-mei thought for a while, then shook her head.

The two did not follow the carriage, but walked towards Caihaizi from another small street.Mu Zhen is very familiar with the streets and alleys of Kunming.But soon she heard Amei whisper: "Someone is following us."

Mu Zhen turned her head and looked at all kinds of suspicious people behind her.She thought for a while and said, "Maybe I was walking outside Hanwang's mansion just now and was discovered by the guards. Hanwang has a lot of people in Kunming."

As expected, before they approached the pear orchard, they were blocked by a person.The man was rather burly, but without a beard, he seemed to be a eunuch.

The eunuch clasped his fists and said, "Our lord sent me to ask Miss Mu, do you want to watch a play, or do you want to see the lord?"

Mu Zhen lowered her head and said, "I have something to say to His Highness, please introduce me."

The eunuch said: "Please come with us."

Mu Zhen and A-Mei followed the burly eunuch into the Liyuan, but they didn't go to the theater, but went through a hallway and went to another place inside.

Mu Zhen is very familiar with Kunming City, and has been to Liyuan many times, but she has never been inside.After passing through the hall, the noise from restaurants and theaters outside becomes quieter. This place is a garden, and it seems that there are not many people inside.Maybe ordinary guest officials are not allowed to come in, no wonder Mu Zhen never knew there was such a garden in Liyuan.

"The prince should be in the house over there, please." The eunuch turned his head and said again, but he seemed very polite.

2 Chapter Sixty

Zhu Gaoxu came to Liyuan today to see Mrs. Shen Xu; he did not expect to meet Mu Sheng's eldest daughter, Mu Zhen.There must be something wrong with Mu Zhen.

He lowered his head, tinkering with the kung fu tea utensils on the marble table with his own hands, and looked up at Mu Zhen from time to time.

This little girl in front of him will remind Zhu Gaoxu of the climate in Yunnan.A sunny day is clear and bright, but a rainy day is full of dark clouds.When I first met Mu Zhen, she was much brighter and more generous than ordinary ladies; but now, her mood is probably like a rainy day, which makes people feel very dignified.

Her peach-hearted face is full and her chin is delicate, which makes her facial features look very delicate, and also makes her eyes look big, and the emotions in her eyes are extra obvious.What mood she was in was all written in those big eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu was sitting while Mu Zhen was standing.They didn't speak for a while, and Zhu Gaoxu felt a little embarrassed.It was inconvenient for him to ask more questions, so he picked up a small cup and said, "Miss Mu, do you like green tea?"

Mu Zhen replied: "I don't drink tea anymore."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and said again: "Green tea can be brewed in boiling water, just pour boiling water into it, you don't have to be so particular about it."

Mu Zhen didn't say anything, she seemed hesitant to speak.After a while she finally said: "Hanwang Highness, please help my father?"

Zhu Gaoxu was startled when he heard this, and thought: Sure enough, there is something wrong.Just now he had vaguely guessed that this was the case.

He was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: "I am indeed a very high status in Yunnan, but many people think of me too highly. What will happen to the Mu Mansion is not something I can say. Miss Mu understands." Is it?"

Mu Zhen suddenly lowered her head, gritted her teeth and knelt down suddenly.

"No way." Zhu Gaoxu stood up, "Miss Mu, I really didn't lie to you! I told everyone the same way, and it was the truth. Hu Min wanted to investigate Jianwen because he wanted to make meritorious service and get promoted; I helped Hu Min because I wanted to obey Father's father's order and imperial decree. But today, the affairs of Dali have been reported to the capital, who can intervene?"

"Your Highness can do whatever you want..." Mu Zhen lowered her head, her voice choked up.

Zhu Gaoxu heard something strange, and only then noticed that her shaved shoulders were trembling slightly.

He was speechless and had said all he had to say.He really didn't lie to Mu Zhen, and now even he himself is still worried, waiting for the emperor's rearrangement of Yunnan... At this time, who and how can he influence the emperor's will?

"Get up and talk, it's really against the rules to give such a great gift." Zhu Gaoxu could only say.

At this moment, Mu Zhen stood up slowly.Seeing this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Zhen sobbed, "I have nothing to give His Highness..."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said: "Why doesn't Miss Mu believe me? At this time, I really don't want any benefits. I have no enmity with the Mu family. Since you have opened your mouth, I will help if I can; but Miss Mu asked, It’s not something I can do anymore.”

"As long as I can save my father, I don't even have to take my life." Mu Zhen's voice changed, and it made people feel sad.She paused, then suddenly raised her head and said, "I still have one thing..."

After she finished speaking, she stretched her hands trembling behind her back, her little face turned red and white.Then he turned to look at the closed door.

At this time Zhu Gaoxu probably guessed what she was going to do, he was very surprised for a while... It was only after a while that he came back to his senses: Mother |His notorious reputation in the capital for being lewd and desolate must have spread to Yunnan.So Mu Zhen thinks he is a lustful hungry ghost!

He raised his hand to stop it, but he was too far away, and blurted out: "Slow down!"

However, it was too late, Mu Zhen had already pulled off several belts one after another, and the outer blue lapel robe fell to her ankles, revealing the peach red apron inside.

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened, his whole body froze there, and his expression became quite ugly.

The material of the silk belly | pocket is very soft and a little translucent. The pink color is the color that many girls like, and it looks very fresh.Her bare neck and the pale yellow flawless skin on her collarbone just matched the silk material very well.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw such a scene without paying attention, his mind went blank for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, Mu Zhen even pulled off the strap behind the silk material. "This..." Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand, as if to pick up her clothes.Mu Zhen's face and ears turned red, she stood there, her body trembling in the air.

What is this?Zhu Gaoxu is still not confused, no matter what, Mu Zhen is always the eldest daughter of the Marquis, and she is a lady who has not yet left the court.If he did that kind of thing, where would he put the Mu family's face?It seems too much!

What's more, Zhu Gaoxu really can't decide on Mu Sheng's matter, isn't that deceiving her innocence?Right now, he felt that his Prince Bigge had fallen to the ground!
