Princess of the Past and Present

Mo Shuang stood inside and waited for the boy to clean up everything before going out.Dong Ling defended against injustice, "Young master, it's clear that someone deliberately framed you."

"As long as you have a clear conscience, what other people want is their business."

"Yeah, let's not do anything wrong, and we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night."

Yuan Yuzhi followed Mu Jin to the gazebo by the lotus pond.Mu Jin stood facing the lotus pond with his hands behind his back, and Yuan Yuzhi said behind him: "That Yin man is really insidious. Fortunately, someone discovered it in time."

Mu Jin was silent for a while, "Yuzhi."

"Well, I'm here."

Mu Jin looked serious, "Tell me, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Yuan Yuzhi looked at Mu Jin's back, twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand guiltily, and forced a smile on her face, "How could it be, how could I think it would be bad for brother Mu Jin."

"Tell the truth!" Mu Jin's serious look was a bit scary, Yuan Yuzhi's heart skipped a beat, she lowered her head and was speechless.

Mu Jin turned around and looked at her who lowered her head, and took a deep breath, "If you don't tell the truth, if you really find out, I won't be able to protect you."

Yuan Yuzhi's eyes were flushed, and she bit her lips tightly, so she could only tell the truth, "I...I, I didn't want to harm Brother Mu Jin, I just wanted to help Brother Mu Jin get rid of that surnamed Yin. Walk."

Hearing Yuan Yuzhi's own confession, Mu Jin's heart sank, and for some reason he knew that it wasn't Mo Shuang who would feel this way.

"It's true, Brother Mu Jin, I really don't want to harm you, you must believe me."

Mu Jin looked at her and said, "I know."

The next day, I heard the discussions among the servants of the Prince's Mansion, and found out the person who managed the altar in the cabinet in the wing room, and he was the first boy who found the altar.Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince was lenient, and he was expelled from the Prince's Mansion after a severe beating.

In the afternoon, Uncle Chen looked for the princess with the account book.

Mo Shuang was flipping through the ledger while drinking freshly brewed lotus leaf tea.

Chen Bot who was standing next to him deliberately mentioned, "I heard that the lotus flowers in Minghu Lake are blooming very well recently, may the princess go to see it?"

Before Mo Shuang could answer, the little girl standing beside said: "My lord, let's go, the lotus in Minghu Lake is famous far and wide, and many people come to see it in this season."

Mo Shuang flipped through a page of the ledger, "Since it is well-known far and wide, it doesn't hurt to go and have a look."

Dong Ling burst into laughter at the side, and Chen Bo, the housekeeper, smiled amiably, "When will the Crown Princess leave the house, this old servant will send someone to prepare."

"Just tomorrow."

The next day, the weather was fine and the blue sky was cloudless. It was a good day for traveling.Uncle Chen has taken care of everything for today's trip, and the carriage and boat are waiting.

Mo Shuang was about to go out with the servant boy, when he happened to run into the prince who had just come down to court.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Mo Shuang cupped his hands, and every time he saw him, he almost had to behave like a monarch and his ministers. It really didn't look like a husband and wife.

Mu Jin glanced at him and asked casually, "Going out?"

"Exactly."

Afterwards, there was no more text, Mu Jin walked inside, and Mo Shuang walked outside.

After entering the main hall, Mu Jin sat down to drink tea, and suspiciously raised his head and asked the housekeeper beside him, "Where did he say he was going?"

Chen Bo replied: "It's just to go to Minghu Lake to enjoy the flowers."

"Oh?"

After that, Mu Jin didn't ask any more questions.

It takes half an hour in a carriage to reach the shore of Minghu Lake. It is best to enjoy the lotus and take a painting boat.Chen Bo has already asked someone to charter an elegant painting boat nearby, and he will be able to get out of the lake as soon as someone arrives.

Mo Shuang boarded the boat together with the servants he brought along, and was about to leave the shore when suddenly someone said: "Young master!"

Mo Shuang, who was standing on the painting boat, turned her head and saw a man in green clothes on the shore, holding a jade flute in his hand, dressed luxuriously, and said with fists in his arms, "All the painting boats out of the lake are taken by rich and noble people. , I'm a step late, and I'm worried that there will be no boat to go out of the lake, would you take me in for a while?"

After hearing this, Mo Shuang said, "It doesn't matter."

"Thank you sir."

The man in Tsing Yi jumped onto the boat lightly.The two registered taboos for each other, the man in Tsing Yi's surname was Jing, and his first name was Lan Zhou.

The two hit it off right away, talking about the landscapes on both sides of the strait to the lotus in the lake, from ancient and modern poetry, to academic masters.Finally, I talked about Taoism. This discussion of Taoism is quite a sigh of regret.

The luxurious painting boat slowly sails into the green lotus. The umbrella-like lotus leaves protrude out of the water at half a person's height. They are uneven but patchwork. During the period, pink lotus flowers are dotted among them. When the wind blows, the lotus leaves follow the lotus flowers. Swaying, together with a touch of lotus fragrance.

Drinking freshly brewed lotus leaf tea while admiring lotus flowers, the mouth is full of lotus fragrance, which has a special flavor.

After drinking a cup of tea, Mo Shuang, who was sitting at the hatch of the boat, looked back from the painting boat, looked at Jing Lanzhou and said, "Young Master Jing is not an extraordinary man."

Jing Lanzhou was slightly taken aback, "Why did Mr. Yin say that?"

"Just now at first glance, he felt that Mr. Jing was different from everyone else, and that he was surrounded by immortal energy, so Yin boldly guessed which immortal monarch in the sky it was."

After being identified, Immortal Lanzhou was stunned for a moment, thinking that Immortal Ziyue had recovered her past life memory, then she thought it was impossible, so she laughed a few times, "Wonderful, Mr. Yin has extraordinary eyesight, Jing is really impressed."

"It was because of the strong immortal energy all over the body of Xianjun that Yin was able to recognize it."

Jing Lanzhou said: "It seems that Mr. Yin is also a person who practiced Taoism."

"I have practiced for several years, but I have only dabbled in one or two, which is very superficial."

"It's the first time in thousands of years that a mortal cultivating the Tao can recognize breath at your age."

"I am honored by the immortal."

Jing Lanzhou drank a cup of tea, looked at the lotus flowers around and said happily: "Good tea with beautiful scenery is really pleasing to the eye." He turned his head to look at Mo Shuang, "I am very happy to meet Mr. Yin today, even though you and I met by chance , but the fate is not shallow, I wonder if I can make a bosom friend?"

"Thanks to the immortal king for not giving up, Yin can't ask for it."

Jing Lanzhou laughed heartily, "Then let's just say that, you and I will treat each other as confidants in the future."

Mo Shuang personally poured a cup of tea for Jing Lanzhou, "I wonder how long the Immortal will stay in the mortal world?"

Jing Lanzhou thought for a while, and said: "I was ordered to go down to the earth to inspect, at least for a year or a half, and at most for ten or eight years, I can't tell."

"I see."

Jing Lanzhou looked at the haggard Mo Shuang again, feeling sad for a while.He was obviously doing his best to be his Ziyue Xianjun, but Xianyuan was injured by the demon king, but he met Pluto, who had some old enemies with him, and by accident, he wanted to live a miserable life in the mortal world.

"Brother Yin."

Mo Shuang looked up at him, "Huh?"

"I just saw that your brows were tightly furrowed, but what's bothering you recently?"

Mo Shuang pursed her lips and smiled, "If you can taste good tea and enjoy the beautiful scenery, how can you worry about it?"

Jing Lanzhou smiled, and turned the jade flute in his hand, "That's right, it's a beautiful day, and there really shouldn't be any troubles. It's rare to be happy today. How about a song by Jing Mou?"

"I can't ask for it."

Jing Lanzhou came out of the cabin with a smile on her face, stood at the bow of the boat and held the jade flute to her lips, a crisp and melodious music came out, her clothes were in the wind, and with the ten miles of lotus, it seemed like a fairyland.

At dusk when the sun was setting and parting, the boat was moored at the shore, and there were willows on the shore. Mo Shuang clasped her fists and said, "It's a great honor for Yin to swim with Brother Jing in the Ming Lake. But good days are fleeting, so let's say goodbye today. You and I will have a destiny in the future." goodbye."

Jing Lanzhou was rather reluctant, and said with fists in his arms, "See you by fate."

Mo Shuang turned and left, not far away was a luxurious carriage waiting, the servant raised the curtain to let him go up, the groom flicked his whip, and the luxurious carriage disappeared at the end of the street.Jing Lanzhou watched the carriage go away, sighed silently, turned around, waved his sleeves, and disappeared into the air.

Back at the mansion, the butler grabbed Dong Ling and asked in a low voice: "I wonder if the Crown Princess will enjoy her trip today?"

Dong Ling replied with a smile: "Have fun, have fun, very much."

The butler smiled in relief, "That's good."

Then he ordered: "Dinner is ready early in the morning, you will remind the princess later."

"understood."

He poured a basin of water for Mo Shuang to wash his face, and then went to the dining room.There were only a few vegetarian dishes and a vegetarian soup on the dining room table, which was specially ordered by Mo Shuang.

After sitting down, the servant girl brought out a bowl of white rice dexterously. Just as she was about to eat, Mu Jin's figure appeared at the door.Mo Shuang put down the bowl in her hand, bowed her hands in greeting, "I have met Your Highness."

Mu Jin stood there, not knowing whether to enter or exit, he thought that Mo Shuang would not be here.

Dong Ling frowned and glanced at his son, only to feel that the atmosphere was a bit weird.On weekdays, the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness never dine together, and the time of their meals is staggered. Today, it happened that Mo Shuang came back late after going out, just in time for Mu Jin's meal time.

Mu Jin was stunned for a while, stepped into the door, and sat down at the table.The maids serving next to her were all stunned, not knowing what to do.Mu Jin said: "What are you doing in a daze, serve the bowls and chopsticks for Bengong."

"Yes."

Mu Jin gave Mo Shuang a sideways look, and remained silent.Mo Shuang sat down calmly, and ordered the boy beside him, "Go and bring up the dishes from the dining room."

After a while, the servant brought some more meat dishes.The vegetarian dishes were placed in front of Mo Shuang, and the meat dishes were placed in front of Mu Jin, so they didn't interfere with each other.

The two ate, each eating their own food, and ate very silently.Mo Shuang stretched out her chopsticks to a piece of stewed winter melon, just as Mu Jin's chopsticks also stretched out, and the two pairs of chopsticks crossed.The weird pattern became a little stiff.

Mo Shuang withdrew her chopsticks and went to pick up other things. Mu Jin glanced at him, picked up a piece of braised wax gourd and put it into his mouth, and continued to eat in silence.

The two people involved were calm, and the little servant girl who was serving next to her was startled into a cold sweat.Everyone knows that His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are at odds.
