princess teasing concubine

Mu Jin left the palace, looked at the waiting carriage beside the Dahongmen, and then remembered that there was still a "gluttonous" feast waiting for her to enjoy.

Mu Jin walked up to the carriage, and said with a smile: "This big brother, I don't know how to call him?"

"My subordinate's name is Ada!"

Mu Jin seemed hesitant to speak, so Ada had no choice but to ask: "Your Excellency has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

"Hmm... I just want to ask, Princess Hexu, what are her hobbies? She just likes things in particular."

Ada shook her head, "I don't know."

Mu Jin frowned, "Does Xiaotao know?"

Ada shook his head again, "I don't know, apart from dealing with things every day, His Highness is learning boring piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting boring?

Mu Jin nodded, not knowing how to coax people, "Don't tell me the princess has no hobbies?"

"I don't know... does practicing martial arts count?"

This hobby is really special, should she buy swords or martial arts cheat books as gifts?

In desperation, Mu Jin ordered Ada to take her to the market. Even though it was lunch time, there were still many people here. She walked around for a while, but did not find anything special here.

"Hey, son-in-law, are you here to buy something for the princess?" The middle-aged man at the booth next to him let out a yo-ho.

Mu Jin looked sideways, and saw that the items on the stall owner were all beautiful jade, and the jade carvings were also in strange shapes, at least she had never seen it before.

Mu Jin became interested, "Well, I don't know what to give, your jade looks so strange!"

"My son-in-law, I brought these from the Tibetan area. These jades are also unique carvings there. You can see that the hollowing out of this piece of jade is basically dug out by people." The man held up a piece of jade. Said.

Mu Jin pointed to the jade pendant carved with two flying birds and asked, "What kind of bird is this?"

"Back to my son-in-law, this is Shuanghe. Buying this as a present for the princess can express your heart without losing your dignity. If my son-in-law likes it, I can sell you a smaller one, only 40 taels."

Mu Jin touched the white jade carefully, "40 taels is not expensive, but the material of this jade looks a bit ordinary, can it be cheaper?"

The middle-aged man looked puzzled, "My lord, although the jade is a little common, but the craftsmanship of carving this jade pendant is not something that everyone can do, and the small ones are just for food.

Mu Jin didn't hesitate because of the money, but he didn't know if it was appropriate to give this to Shangguan Yue.

The man said again: "My lord, the princess is not short of beautiful jade, the main thing is to convey your heart, isn't it?"

Mu Jin nodded, "That's right."

Mu Jin took eight five taels of silver bills from his pocket and handed them to the stall owner, "Wrap them up for me."

"okay······"

Holding the exquisite box in his hand, Mu Jin went back to the Princess Mansion with a feeling of turmoil. The guards outside the mansion saluted, "Master Consort, Your Highness is waiting in the side hall, and my subordinates will guide you."

"it is good······"

Mu Jin followed the guards and saw many craftsmen and guards transporting soil, "What are they doing?"

"Back to the son-in-law, there is a small hot spring in the mansion. His Highness thought it was too small, so he ordered the Ministry of Industry to make it bigger."

There are hot springs!

It's a pity that in the Princess Mansion, you can only watch it but not use it.Mu Jin was melancholy, bathing here depends on the bathtub, but once it is cold, the bathtub is not reliable, even if there is a charcoal fire, it is useless.

Hot springs can solve all problems, but there is only one extremely distant volcano in He country, and the surface temperature is very difficult to heat up. Even if there is, it will be occupied by dignitaries.

"Master Consort, Your Highness is inside..."

Shangguan Yue sat upright, even if she didn't do anything or say anything, but the cool breath around her was matched with a white sand skirt, which was always suffocating.

Xiao Tao at the side said with a full face of resentment: "Master Consort, Your Highness made an exception to cook for you, please enjoy it..."

The four dishes and one soup on the table looked normal, only the fish was slightly burnt, not the "gluttonous" feast as imagined.

After hesitating, Mu Jin finally plucked up the courage to sit next to Shangguan Yue, put the box in front of her and opened it, "I saw this jade carving on the road is quite special, so I bought it for you."

Mu Jin was actually nervous when she sent it out, but she relaxed when she saw the smile on Shangguan Yue's face.

Xiaotao on the side pouted, eyes full of disgust.

"Won't Jin'er wear it for Bengong?"

Mu Jin saw that the joy in Shangguan Yue's eyes was getting stronger, and he always felt that the other party was going to play tricks on him again, but now if he wanted to trick others, he could only follow along.

Holding the jade pendant, Mu Jin approached Shangguan Yue again, and the familiar scent filled the tip of his nose again. At this moment, Mu Jin didn't know what was wrong with him, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Mu Jin hurriedly put on the jade for Shangguan Yue, slightly distanced herself, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and said with an awkward smile, "I'm hungry, I'll eat first."

Mu Jin took two mouthfuls of rice first, but before he could swallow it, he heard Shangguan Yue teasingly said: "Your son-in-law knows that these cranes are equivalent to mandarin ducks, and they are gifts from men to women."

"Cough cough..."

She really didn't know, Mu Jin patted her chest, and just about to explain, Shangguan Yue patted her on the back lightly and said: "I know that the son-in-law didn't mean it, because the son-in-law only likes... man."

Mu Jinshun nodded angrily, "Yes..."

The corners of Shangguan Yue's mouth rose, and he picked up the chopsticks to pick up the fish for Mu Jin, "How about Jin'er trying my handiwork?"

Mu Jin looked down at the fish in the bowl, like a generous warrior, he closed his eyes and put the fish into his mouth.

The taste is neither salty nor bland, not only has no fishy smell, but also has a faint smell of burnt fish, "It's not bad, the princess will also eat some."

Seeing that Shangguan Yue smiled lightly, but did not move his chopsticks, Mu Jin was slightly puzzled, "Isn't the princess hungry?"

Xiaotao on the side explained: "In order to prepare this meal well, Your Highness will taste it first, and if it is not well done, it will be redone."

It turns out that if you try it, you will be full, so how many times has Shangguan Yue redid it?

Mu Jin put down his chopsticks, "Princess..."

Shangguan Yue raised her hand, "If you are grateful, Jin'er needless to say, I ask you, is today's court meeting going smoothly?"

Mu Jin nodded, shook his head again, and told everything about today's court proceedings.

Mu Jin said with a frown: "The Holy Majesty wants me to write a plan, but I just propose, and I don't know how to implement it."

"Jin'er's proposal is quite special."

"Is there anything special? I'm so worried right now." Mu Jin looked at Shangguan Yue who smiled and said nothing, with a sad face, reached out and tugged at her sleeve, "Princess, help me!"

Shangguan Yue couldn't help smiling, tapped the table with her fingertips and thought, "Isn't Jin'er and Li Zixu on good terms?"

"Li Zixu, can he help me?"

Shangguan Yue shook his head, "I'm not sure. The reason why Li Zixu is only a Jinshi does not mean that he has no talent, but many of his whimsical ideas cannot be accepted by others. Just like Jin'er said, women are also It can hold up half the sky."

"Okay, I know, I'll go find Li Zixu now." Mu Jin had no intention of eating, so he stood up and ran out.

Xiaotao couldn't help but nodded, "In the past, the servants thought that the son-in-law was not like a man and was a womanizer, but now it seems that His Highness has a better vision. Compared with other men, the son-in-law is really special."

The smile in Shangguan Yue's eyes dissipated with Mu Jin's departure, and she sighed meaningfully: "A man?"

Xiaotao didn't understand why the princess sighed at first, but then she thought, this son-in-law is special, he doesn't like women either!

·························

Mu Jin sent someone to take her to Li's house, but when she was at the door, the servants stopped her and asked, "I don't know why the concubine is here?"

"I'm looking for Li Zixu."

The servants looked at each other, "My son-in-law, the young master is punished by the master to kneel in the ancestral hall. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to go in at this time."

Mu Jin wondered, "Why was he punished?"

"It's because of the scientific examination this time, the master asked the young master to take the literary test, but the young master prefers the martial arts test, and the master is still angry now!"

Mu Jin waved his hand, "It's okay, you take me there."

"This...well, please come from the son-in-law."

The Li family is not big, with a visual estimate of over a thousand square meters, and only a dozen servants. In the ancestral hall, Li Zixu was kneeling in front of the ranks of his family's ancestors, and Li Zizhong beside him was also flushed with anger. .

Li Zizhong restrained his temper when he saw the person coming, "Why is the eldest son-in-law here?"

Li Zixu turned his head, eyes full of pleading for help.

"Er...that's how it is, I came to Li Zixu because of the college's affairs."

Li Zizhong glanced at Li Zixu coldly, "He...he knows how to think wildly all day long, so what can he do for the eldest son-in-law?"

"This...you can't say that. Usually what those strange people think and do is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. As for whether Li Zixu can help me, my lord might as well let him try."

Li Zizhong didn't like Buddha Mu Jinmian, "Yes, but I can only let him go if the kid agrees to the Wen Kao."

Li Zixu said at this time: "Father, I don't like those literary things. What's the use of taking the exam, it's just talking on paper. There's nothing wrong with the martial arts exam."

Li Zizhong was furious, and before he could vent his anger, Mu Jin said: "You are wrong. Although personal interests and hobbies are very important, civil servants are the ones who make the country change continuously. Military officers are the ones who protect the country. You If you want to take the military officer exam, do you want to go to the battlefield to defend your home and country in the future? Or do you just want to take the military officer exam because you look down on civil servants?"

Li Zixu choked, "This..."

Mu Jin walked towards Li Zixu, knelt down and patted him on the shoulder, "Think about it, if you become a civil servant, if your words are adopted by the Holy One in the future, the whole country of He will be changed because of you."

Li Zixu lowered his head and thought, he looked up at Mu Jin, "Why do I feel like you are a magic stick?"

"Bah...you are a genius." Mu Jin stood up, "I have already proposed to the Holy One to establish a college, and all adult men can participate, but it is a pity that the participation of women was rejected, otherwise, once successful, it will be realized. All the people are soldiers, and it can also improve the status of women, so that they are no longer restrained."

Li Zixu's eyes lit up, he stood up and said, "It doesn't matter, this time I was rejected, next time I will try again, I decided to test the text, I want to liberate all the women in He country."

Mu Jin: "??"
