Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 177 Admiration
Nan Yu glared at him angrily, and said stubbornly: "I will never marry Emperor Dayan as a concubine! It doesn't matter if we don't get married!"

Mu Liuchun looked at her angry appearance, and said lightly: "Even if you don't want to, we have already come to the capital, princess, don't you want to save your father?"

"I..." Nan Yu bit her lower lip, unable to say a word.

Mu Liuchun raised his eyes to look at her, but there was silence in those peach blossom eyes that should have been full of affection, and he only calmly told the cruel truth: "You also understand the current situation in southern Xinjiang. Then you are really alone.”

Nan Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he said with difficulty: "Is there really no other choice besides getting married?"

"No."

An affirmative and decisive answer completely extinguished all hope in Nan Yu's heart.

She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, and seeing Mu Liuchun's calm and breezy appearance, she felt even more depressed, snorted heavily, stamped her feet, turned her head and ran out.

Seeing her leaving in a huff, the servant girl guarding the door couldn't help poking her head in: "My lord, the Princess is her."

Holding hot tea, Mu Liuchun looked at an unknown place, and said: "She is unhappy, let her vent it."

"Then shall we follow and see?"

"Well, just follow her, don't be found out." Mu Liuchun knew that Nan Yu was unhappy, but he wasn't worried that she would seek death, if she would get into trouble, it would be safer to send someone to watch her.

The servant girl responded and chased Nan Yu out.

Without the chattering Nanyu, the courtyard instantly became quiet, and the tea on the stove gradually cooled down. Mu Liuchun looked at the plum blossom in the courtyard that was fighting against the cold wind, and inexplicably came to his mind the picture that he had been thinking about for a whole day. The face of seven years.

There was once a person who liked to sit by the fire and make tea and admire plum blossoms in such a snowy day
It rarely snows in southern Xinjiang, and it is accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and greenery all year round. Nanyu is used to the sky in southern Xinjiang. After rushing out of the post house, looking at the vast expanse of whiteness, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.

There were people coming and going on the street, chatting and laughing in groups, and they were heading to the other end of the long street. When they saw such a strangely dressed girl standing on the side of the road, they couldn't help but take a second look.

Nan Yu noticed his probing gaze, and immediately stared back: "What are you looking at! Look carefully, and be careful that the princess digs your eyes out!"

Hearing this, everyone also understood that the girl in front of them was not an ordinary person, but a little princess from southern Xinjiang.

Knowing that Nan Yu's identity is not easy, no one dared to look at her again, so he quickly pulled his companion along and left.

"Let's walk around. During the court meeting in the past few days, many foreigners have come to the capital. Let's be careful with what we say, so as not to provoke anyone who shouldn't be provoked."

Several other people nodded in approval, and one of them suddenly said: "I heard that Miss Wanmu will perform at Qianzhen Pavilion. We didn't hear Qu'er in Huixian Tower last time, so we have to reserve a good seat in advance this time." !"

"Really? I didn't expect Qianzhen Pavilion to be so powerful that Mu Xiaoxiao could be invited to perform? Then let's go there quickly!"

While talking, several people rushed to Qianzhen Pavilion.

Nan Yu looked at their eager figures thoughtfully, and muttered to himself, "Qianzhen Pavilion? What kind of place is that?"

At that time, the front of Qianzhen Pavilion was full of people, Lu Sheng was standing on the stool, yelling the pre-determined rules loudly, his voice was almost screaming splits.

Ling Youyao was sitting by the window, looking at the crowds of people downstairs, she couldn't help laughing and said: "However, after only releasing the news for half a day, so many people were attracted, it seems that we should have more contacts with Miss Mu in the future."

Yinzhu pursed her lips and smiled: "If you say that, you might as well dig Miss Mu from Huixian Tower and forget about it."

But she said it casually, but Ling Youyao thought about it seriously, and said: "Go back and find out how she got the low status."

The corners of Yinzhu's eyes twitched, "Princess, don't you really want to help Miss Mu regain her good status?"

"Well, I have this idea, but I don't know why she became a lowly citizen."

Yinzhu sighed helplessly: "My servant has already inquired about it. Miss Mu was originally the daughter of the commander of the Tingzhou Guard Army. When the rebel army went south, General Mu's misjudgment delayed the military situation, which caused the Mu family to suffer this disaster. "

"So that's how it is." After thinking about it, Ling Youyao felt something was wrong again, "I remember that three years ago, His Majesty pardoned the world, and she should have a chance to change her status, but why did she?"

Yinzhu was about to explain, when a pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the door: "I'm alone now, it doesn't make any difference to me whether I'm from a humble family or a good family."

Ling Youyao followed the prestige, and saw Mu Xiaoxiao standing there, looking at her with a smile.

Being caught discussing personal matters behind the scenes made Ling Youyao feel ashamed. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious."

Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head with a smile, and said, "I know the princess is kind, but I'm used to this kind of life. If I leave Huixian Tower suddenly, I might still feel uncomfortable."

Her tone was soft, but her seemingly gentle and calm eyes were mixed with a bit of loneliness, which unconsciously opened the distance between her and others.

After listening, Ling Youyao finally understood that it's not that she has no chance to get out of the humble family, but she just doesn't want to.

"Since you think everything is fine, I won't force you. If you want to leave in the future, just come to me."

Looking at her clear eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little apologetic, and blessed her body: "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness. I will definitely do my best for tomorrow night's performance."

Hearing this, Ling Youyao couldn't help smiling: "You don't need to work hard, as long as you come, you will already be a great help to me."

She knows how many people in the capital are here for Mu Xiaoxiao.

"Princess, I was joking. The last time I saw you here, I thought you were just a guest. I didn't expect you to be the real owner of Qianzhen Pavilion."

The first time Mu Xiaoxiao saw Ling Youyao was in Pei Ce's painting, and only because she looked similar to Ling Qingwei did she know her identity.I thought Ling Youyao was a daughter of a thousand golds who never touched the spring water, but I didn't expect her to be able to achieve such a level in Qianzhen Pavilion, which is really admirable.

Ling Youyao said modestly: "I just paid for it. Most of the things in Qianzhen Pavilion are done by Lu Sheng."

"Qianzhen Pavilion has only been open for three months, but it can compare to several other restaurants in the capital. The shopkeeper is responsible for it, and naturally you also have it."

Mu Xiaoxiao's tone was sincere, with a smile on her face. It was meant to be flattering, but when it came out of her mouth, it became less serious.

Ling Youyao smiled, led her out, and said: "Now that I have invited you here, I will also add your credit here!"

Hearing this, Mu Xiaoxin's liking for Ling Youyao increased a bit, "I don't dare to ask for credit, but I only hope that when there is chestnut cake in the coming year, the princess can save an extra portion for me."

"no problem!"
