Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 194 Xu Junyan, we haven't seen each other for a long time
"My lord, there is a Mr. Mu outside asking to see you."

A maidservant in pink hurried into the study room to report. She quickly raised her head and glanced at King Duan in the deep purple wide-sleeved brocade robe, then lowered her head with a blushing face.

The prince is indeed very handsome...

"Master Mu?"

Zhou Chengrui laughed, "This is a distinguished guest, why don't you come in quickly?"

"Yes, the slave girl knows." The laughter made the servant girl's face turn red again, and she hurriedly retreated.

The so-called Mr. Mu who came from afar was wearing an extremely flamboyant dark red embroidered brocade robe, on which the embroidered red plums seemed to be outlined with gold thread.

Her black hair was bound by a shiny jade crown, her face was like jade, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her eyes were like spring water, she was so beautiful.

How could there be such a beautiful man?

The servant girl hurriedly saluted with her head down, and said softly, "Mr. Mu, the prince has an invitation in the courtyard."

Mu Nan nodded and walked into the courtyard.

Zhou Chengrui was already standing under the corridor at this moment, and when he saw the young man in red, he began to smile, "This king knew it was you."

As he said that, he said to the maids in the courtyard: "There is nothing wrong here, everyone should step back."

All kinds of beautiful maidservants came out in a file, and Mu Nan took a step forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mu Nan is here to bid farewell to the prince."

Zhou Chengrui frowned slightly, his eyes full of complexities.

This woman never does anything that doesn't make sense.

farewell?

He narrowed his eyes slightly, "What? Luoyang is not good? Why don't you stay longer, this king has not fulfilled the friendship of the landlord."

Mu Nan smiled slightly, "Mu Nan is my daughter's home after all, she's just homesick..."

Zhou Chengrui followed with a smile and said, "How could the princess come to bid farewell to the king for no reason..."

When Mu Nan heard "Princess" instead of "Nan'er" in the past, he understood that this man was going to show his cards against him today, and he had to be careful today.

Her expression remained the same, "After two days of palace banquet, I will leave. These two days have been very busy, so it is better to come here to bid farewell to the prince in person, and by the way... chatting about the military situation in Xiangdu, it can be regarded as a two-way relationship." By mistake."

Mu Nan smiled brightly, as if he was talking about spring flowers and autumn moons.

Zhou Chengrui's heart skipped a beat, "It's cold outside, why don't we invite you to the back room..."

Mu Nan nodded, "Shouldn't the prince treat me to the good tea for the last time?"

"The princess is really joking."

After entering the back room, the two stopped smiling.

Mu Nan sat on a wicker chair and leaned on it, "It's the combination of you and me in Xiangdu that led to the current situation. You must know that the eldest son of the Fang family has also gone."

Zhou Chengrui walked to the Duobao Pavilion beside him, took a set of tea sets, and slowly brewed tea, "Drinking spring tea in winter is thanks to the new tea leaves sent by Xiangdu."

This sentence showed his control over Xiangdu.

As expected, Mu Nan's expression turned serious, "What is the prince thinking? Will our cooperation continue?"

Zhou Chengrui didn't say a word, he picked up a pinch of tea leaves and put them in the purple sand pot, and the tea stove was heated just right.

"If the princess's benefits to this king can be maintained... this king will not be able to refuse."

Zhou Chengrui raised his eyes and glanced at her, "But if the princess uses this king's hands for personal grievances... This king is a bit helpless even if he wants to pretend to be stupid. After all, the situation in Xiangdu is imminent. After all, this king is from Dazhou."

Mu Nan frowned.

This man has always been difficult to deal with!

Although she still looked leisurely, there was no satisfaction in her eyes, "According to the prince... what should I do?"

Zhou Chengrui raised his eyes seriously and said, "The princess understands."

Mu Nan sat up straight, "What do you mean?!"

"The princess thinks that the king will willingly suffer the dark loss of the son-in-law's mansion? Could it be that the princess thinks that the king's concubine who has the status of a concubine can erase the past? Princess... This is not a story book, there are not so many encounters and smiles." Unrepentant."

Zhou Chengrui laughed, and looked at the tea stove at the side, where the fragrance of tea curled up, filling the room with fragrance.

Mu Nan was startled, "You?!"

"This king is also manned. How many pairs of eyes are there in the palace? Is it difficult for this king? What the princess has done around Huai Shu... This king knows everything. Would you like me to have a good recap with the princess today?"

Zhou Chengrui's words gradually turned cold.

Mu Nan's face turned pale, "You...what do you want?"

"This king doesn't have many demands. There is only one at present. This woman Jiang Jinyan...you'd better not move any more, and that Zhen Guohou Xu Junyan? You can do whatever you like. This king has no interest in her."

Zhou Chengrui slowed down his tone. To deal with a woman like Mu Nan, he can only give her half of the fear and the other half of luck after being shocked.

Mu Nan looked at the tea stove with a complicated expression for a long time, "The water is boiling."

Zhou Chengrui got up, "This king almost thought that the princess's trip was really for the good tea in Xiangdu."

Mu Nan laughed after a while, "Okay, I can promise that I will never touch the people in the prince's heart."

"Princess, who is this king in mind, you'd better not be suspicious..."

Mu Nan smiled even more, "Oh? Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

Zhou Chengrui took down the teapot, turned around and put the teapot on the Huanghuali carved dragon painting table, "Since the princess has agreed to this king, then this matter will end here, and this king does not want to see the princess in Huzhou either." people."

Mu Nan smiled, "You are going to Huzhou? For that woman?"

"What's the matter? I can't go?" Zhou Chengrui picked up the teapot and poured two cups of hot tea. The aroma of the tea soon smelt, "Don't forget, Huzhou is the fiefdom of the king. It's lame for the king to go to the fiefdom for inspection?"

Mu Nan's hands froze.

Back then Zhou Chengrui was so weak on the surface that he even forgot to investigate him thoroughly.

Huzhou...

Is it actually his fief?

Zhou Chengrui smiled, "The late emperor rewarded me with such a beautiful and beautiful place. After all, it is kindness to me..."

Mu Nan was puzzled, "That place is very chaotic..."

"Chaos? If the weather in Huzhou is good, the place will soon be unstable in the hands of the king." Zhou Chengrui looked at his palm and laughed thoughtfully.

Mu Nan gasped after a while, "The chaos in Huzhou is because of your intention?"

Zhou Chengrui didn't answer, but just stretched out his hand to try the white-glazed cup engraved with daylily patterns, but it was still hot.

"Princess, you don't need to ask any more questions, as long as you understand that Huzhou is the territory of this king."

Mu Nan bit his lip, "I didn't expect that the prince is really hiding something."

After a moment of silence, Mu Nan continued: "I'm going to Dasui to have a look, and I'll leave immediately in two days."

Zhou Chengrui nodded, "Now that Dasui has captured Wei City and is attacking Ming City, the Yang family is an iron plate."

Mu Nan smiled, "So what, it doesn't matter whether it's an iron plate or a copper wall, what I want is that Xu Junyan's men are in chaos!"

She then laughed and said, "I'm afraid the urgent report from the border won't be able to stop for too long, so what's your opinion?"

Zhou Chengrui nodded leisurely, "It's okay, if you can't stop it, just follow the trend. This king can also take this opportunity to justifiably request the supervisor."

"Going to Xiangdu... but passing through Huzhou."

Mu Nan smiled softly and looked at him, "Your Highness is going to take a look? Mu Nan can help your Highness. Presumably, your Highness doesn't want to see Xu Junyan, right?"

Zhou Chengrui looked at her for a long time, "Thank you so much, Princess, take care, Princess, see you in Xiangdu."

Back in the palace, Huai Shu had been waiting for a long time, "Sister Mu! Why are you leaving?! Why don't you stay for a few more days?"

Mu Nan smiled and pressed her hand, "Sister Huai Shu has lost weight recently, and her face is also a bit haggard."

Huai Shu's face turned worried, "My concubine punished me to copy scriptures in Yingxia Palace every day, but I have to use the Xiyan Cream you gave me, sister Mu, every day."

Mu Nan smiled, "Be more open-minded in the future, Jiang Jinyan has already left Luoyang, and I don't know if he can come back, so the princess doesn't have to worry about it."

Huai Shu bit her lips, "Sister Mu... I almost dragged you down with that incident last time..."

Mu Nan shook his head, "That incident has passed, and in a few days, I will confess my mistake to the concubine, how can there be any obstacles?"

Huai Shu leaned on her shoulder, "Sister Mu, after you leave, this palace will become very boring again."

Mu Nan joked with a smile: "Sister Huai Shu is getting older too, it's time to discuss marriage soon, how can it be boring?"

Huai Shu sighed and then fell silent, and then put down the topic, "Sister Mu, you know a lot, the people in this palace are in a mess, I'm very tired looking at it."

Mu Nan pulled her to the window, smiled calmly, "Lan Zhaoyi has a very noble status now, if she can walk, sister Huai Shu should still walk around, gentlemen are big-hearted, it's ridiculous to say that you can't believe it, and that You don't have to be afraid of Zhaoyi from a good family background, the Holy Majesty will not spoil them too much, just be respectful, that Ye Guiren... the divine favor is in your hands."

Huai Shu pursed her lips and nodded, "Sister Mu, are you leaving in two days?"

Mu Nan smiled, "After staying in Luoyang for so long, it's time to go."

"It would be great if Sister Mu could marry in Luoyang..."

Huai Shu snuggled into her arms, but never saw the sinister look in Mu Nan's eyes...

After returning to the Linqiu Palace, A Li greeted her, "Princess, gifts have been sent from all the palaces, and the Holy One has also bestowed a lot of gold, silver and jewels."

Mu Nan nodded with a sullen face, "In the past two days, I will find a way to send it to Mingyue Tower."

After entering the inner hall, Ah Li took a step forward to wait for Mu Nan to take off his outer robe, and said with an uneasy expression: "Everyone in Shixianglou has been arrested, and the people in Jingzhao Mansion have been dealt with cleanly. It's just... I don't know where Awei is?"

Mu Nan's face changed, "I knew it, otherwise, how could Jiang Jinyan have arrived in Huzhou? Ah Wei can't stay, I don't know? Then find a way to find out!"

Ah Li nodded, turned around and stepped back.

Mu Nan stood by the window, pushed the window open, a gust of cool wind hit, and the fire in his heart seemed to be extinguished.

She raised the corner of her mouth.

Xu Junyan, long time no see...
