Princess of the Past and Present

Mo Shuang didn't say anything else, Mu Jin started eating vegetarian dishes, and after a few mouthfuls, he lost his appetite.This vegetarian dish has no oil or water at all, it looks like it was scalded with plain water, one or two bites are fresh, but a few more bites will make it tasteless.

Glancing at Mo Shuang, he was used to vegetarian dishes, and he still ate the cabbage out of the boiled water without changing his face.Mu Jin swallowed the vegetarian dish in his mouth, then stretched his chopsticks towards the white tofu, and ate a piece of it.

After that incident, Yuan Yuzhi dared not come to the Prince's Mansion for several days.

Unexpectedly, after seven or eight days, Mu Jin still mentioned that matter.

"I don't want to see the matter of being framed by design for the third time."

Yuan Yuzhi looked at him with a guilty conscience, "Brother Mu Jin, what are you talking about?"

"I know what happened last time. No one knows the meaning of these words better than you."

"What happened last time, yes, but what did the Yin surname say? He wanted to use this to provoke the relationship between you and me?" He said without confidence.

Mu Jin glanced at her lightly, "That's enough, don't act in front of Ben Gong."

Yuan Yuzhi pursed her lips and lowered her head, "I, I just want to help Brother Mu Jin."

"If you really want to help, don't add trouble to this Palace."

"I..." Yuan Yuzhi looked aggrieved, with red eyes, "I did all this for you, and now you still say that I made trouble. Or do you not want that Yin to go away?"

Mu Jin's expression froze, and then he said coldly: "I just hate framing people."

"But, apart from this, I can't think of any other way."

"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it." Mu Jin left without saying a word, then turned and left.Seeing his leaving back, Yuan Yuzhi's tears fell down, and she murmured: "He actually said such things to me..."

The servant girl next to her said: "Miss, His Highness the Crown Prince is just talking for a while, there is no malicious intent."

That day, Mo Shuang was dancing sword in the courtyard.Seeing it from a distance, Mu Jin stopped to look at it for a while, then turned his mind, and said to the guard behind him: "Go and get my sword."

"Yes."

While Mo Shuang was practicing his sword, someone suddenly flipped towards him, and he reacted very quickly to block it with his sword.Seeing clearly that it was Mu Jin, he took a few steps back, held his sword and cupped his hands, "Your Highness."

Mu Jin held his sword and pointed at him, "Compete with me."

Before Mo Shuang agreed, Mu Jin attacked first, walking towards him like flying.Mo Shuang flew into the air on tiptoe, and Mu Jin also flew into the air. Their swords collided with each other, making a crisp metallic sound.

Landing lightly from the air, Mu Jin made continuous moves, and Mo Shuang retreated again and again, only defending but not attacking, obviously deliberately losing the wind.

Mu Jin was very upset, took a few steps back with his sword back, stared at him and said, "Do your best!"

So, pick up a sword flower, and then go up to it.Mo Shuang stood still and didn't give way to him this time.After the three moves, the sword in Mu Jin's hand was sent flying, and stuck obliquely in the flowers.The sword in Mo Shuang's hand pointed directly at Mu Jin's heart, and the point of the sword was less than three inches away from his chest.

Mu Jin stood firm and looked at him blankly, feeling that the person in front of him was incredibly beautiful, with black eyebrows, clear eyes like glass, straight nose bridge, slightly pursed lips, more beautiful than a woman, But not feminine at all.

Mo Shuang put away the sword, cupped her hands, "Accept."

Mu Jin suddenly came back to his senses and looked away, feeling guilty for no reason.Turning around, he pulled out his sword from the flowers not far behind him, turned his back and said, "Next time, I will definitely win you."

After all, step forward and leave.

Dong Ling, who had been watching from the side, came out cautiously, handed over the sweat towel, and said in a low voice, "I thought His Highness would lose his temper just now?" Fortunately, he didn't, and he was glad.

When eating, Mo Shuang had just arrived at the dining hall, and Mu Jin also appeared.On weekdays, the meal times of the two are staggered, but in recent days, the two frequently appear at the same time.

The servants first put out some vegetarian dishes, and then some meat dishes.Mo Shuang was about to extend his chopsticks to the plate of vegetables, when Mu Jin suddenly made a move, picked up a plate of roast chicken and poured it all into the plate of vegetables, and then mixed it with chopsticks.

All the servants present were stunned, but Mo Shuang's face remained unchanged.Mu Jin then poured the braised pork into the steamed potatoes, and poured the boiled beef into the loofah soup.

As a result, the meat dishes and vegetarian dishes on the table were mixed together.

Everyone in the prince's house knew that the princess was a vegetarian and did not eat meat. After combining several dishes, the vegetarian dishes were also stained with a lot of oil.

Mu Jin ate as if nothing had happened, Dong Ling whispered next to Mo Shuang: "My lord, I'll serve you another vegetarian dish."

"No need." Mo Shuang said.

Mu Jin said quietly: "The prince's mansion is not a temple for monks, and he eats fast all day long. Outsiders know about it, and think that the palace has treated him badly."

Dong Ling said silently in her heart, she had always been treated badly.

Although Mo Shuang grew up in a Taoist temple, he is not a Taoist priest, but he is strict with himself and has always developed the habit of being a vegetarian.He has also eaten meaty things, and during palace banquets and birthday banquets, in front of everyone, he will eat some.

Mo Shuang's chopsticks stretched out towards the plate of shredded potatoes mixed with braised pork. Mu Jin looked at his chopsticks, and in the end all he picked up was a potato.

Mu Jin didn't say anything, and continued to eat his own.

After Prince Mu Jin came down from court, he went to the palace to pay his respects.

The queen specially asked the imperial dining room to make some pastries, and sat in the imperial garden to talk with him.

"Did you have a conflict with that girl Yuzhi recently?" The Queen suddenly mentioned this matter.

Mu Jin held the teacup, "No."

"Really?" The Queen asked back, Mu Jin had nothing to say, since she hadn't been to the Prince's Mansion for a few days since she was reprimanded last time.

The queen smiled and understood, "Although she is a bit willful, she is kind-hearted and can't stand being wronged. You, just let her order."

Mu Jin responded casually, "I know."

"I understand a woman's thoughts better, so I'll give her some Zhuchai jewelry some other day to make sure she's all gone."

Mu Jin nodded.I don't want to know, Yuan Yuzhi has come to the queen to cry and complain, the queen dotes on her niece very much, and she is used to everything.Because of this, Yuan Yuzhi dared to be so lawless.

The queen took a sip of her tea and said again, "By the way, how is the princess in your house?"

Mu Jin didn't know what the queen was asking about, so he replied, "He's fine."

The queen smiled, "I am asking how you are with him?"

Mu Jin glanced at the queen and was silent for a moment, "It's nothing."

The queen sighed, "Marrying a man is a pain for you. If it wasn't for Yuanqing's capricious girl who ran away with a poor scholar, you wouldn't have to suffer for her."

Mu Jin pursed his lips and remained silent. He was really angry when he knew that the emperor gave him the marriage, and it was the son of his enemy Yin Sheng.But after a few months, it gradually faded away.It seems that it is not so disgusting.

Leaving from the queen and returning to the mansion, he happened to meet Mo Shuang who was about to go out.

Mo Shuang saluted, and Mu Jin asked coldly, "Where are you going?"

He never asked questions in person, Mo Shuang was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Go out and walk around."

"It just so happens that Ben Gong also wants to go out for a walk."

Mo Shuang's face was calm, and Dong Ling looked at Mu Jin in surprise.

"Wait here, I'm going to change clothes." Stepping up to the dormitory.

Dong Ling's jaw dropped greatly, and when they walked away, she leaned closer and asked, "My lord, does he mean to go with you?"

"Let him go."

Mu Jin changed her clothes, walked up to Mo Shuang, went out without saying a word, and got into the carriage that the housekeeper had prepared for Mo Shuang early.Afterwards, Mo Shuang also got into the carriage.

When they arrived at the most prosperous street in the capital, the two got off the carriage.

Mo Shuang first said: "I'm going to take a look at the nearby bookstore, and I will part ways with His Highness here."

Mu Jin looked displeased, "You think Ben Gong doesn't know that you want to get rid of Ben Gong so that you can meet your lover privately?"

Hearing the word lover, Mo Shuang's face changed slightly, "Your Highness misunderstood."

Dong Ling said: "Yes, His Royal Highness, the young master is really going to the book shop, there is absolutely no... lover." Dong Ling said the last two words in a low voice.

Mu Jin glanced at Mo Shuang, and said proudly: "Where is the bookstore, I will also go to see it."

So, in the end, Mu Jin walked in front, and Mo Shuang and Dong Ling followed behind him.

People came and went on the street, and the group pretended to go out casually. Mo Shuang and Mu Jin had outstanding looks and temperament, which attracted some admiring eyes.

Mu Jin looked like he was shopping, looking here and there.Although he passed this street up and down every day, he never stopped to take a good look.

Before reaching the crown, he lived in the palace and didn't know the outside world.In the past two years after moving out of the palace, I went back and forth between the palace and the Prince's Mansion every day, and I didn't take a good look around.

"My lord, let's buy some jewelry for my sweetheart. I have many rich ladies in the city who come to buy my jewelry," said the lady at the jewelry stall.

Mu Jin followed the voice and looked over, the stalls were full of women's accessories, and remembered what the empress had said this morning, so he walked over.

Standing in front of the booth, the lady who bought the jewelry was all smiles, and picked up a jade bracelet, "My lord, look, this bracelet is crystal clear, it's comfortable to wear and shows your status, girls like to wear it."

"Then want this."

"It's ten taels of silver in total. Young Master, you need to look at other things. I also have a jade hairpin here, which matches this bracelet very well."

"No need."

A servant from the house came up to pay the bill behind him, and Dong Ling felt aggrieved in his heart: Just now he said that my son had a private meeting with his lover, but now he is blatantly buying jewelry for his sweetheart.

Mu Jin turned around, and Mo Shuang was standing a step behind him. Seeing him, he felt inexplicably guilty. It felt like he had done something wrong to him.
