Your Majesty, the princess ran away again!

Chapter 144 Mu Nanyan, don’t go too far!

"Princess, is this food not to your liking?"

Jun Zhuoyuan wiped her tears in panic, "Yanyan, are you too tired recently? It's okay if you don't go to the shop. I'll let Yuanyi take care of it. Take more rest."

Mu Nanyan shook her head. "No, I just feel... like home."

Jun Zhuoyuan let out a long sigh, and was immediately filled with joy. Yanyan said that she felt at home here. "Yanyan, why don't you marry me earlier? I will definitely treat you well."

Mu Nanyan suppressed her emotions and shook her head, "No, I don't want to live under the title of Ninth Princess in the future. When I prove myself, I will marry you with all the stars in my body."

Jun Zhuoyuan knew Mu Nanyan's temperament and character, and this kind of Mu Nanyan was exactly what he liked. He believed since he was a child that women were not flowers kept in the backyard, but should soar in the sky like Yanyan.

Concubine Chun was a free and easy woman during her lifetime. She entered the palace because she fell in love with the current emperor. Because of her free and easy personality, the emperor favored her and buried her behind the palace walls at a young age. Jun Zhuoyuan had only heard about Concubine Chun's deeds from the queen's mouth. This kind and innocent person died in a cage.

Mu Nanyan ate more today, not just because of her mood but mainly because the chef in the Wang Mansion was much better than that in the Mu Mansion. Even the famous chefs outside might not be able to make food as delicious as this.

Mu Nanyan leaned back in the chair with her head tilted back. This person really gets sleepy after eating. It really is true that one should not relax too much.

Jun Zhuoyuan noticed that she was sleepy. "Yanyan, take a nap here. It's still early and you've been busy all morning. I'll go to the study and you can sleep in my room."

Mu Nanyan didn't reject him this time. It wouldn't work if she always rejected him. She should just let things take their own course. "Then let's go."

Mu Nanyan was shocked when she opened the door. Was this the same room she had been to before? Why were the curtains changed to pink? The original cash cow was replaced with flowers, and even the bed curtains were pink. Could it be that she had eaten too much and her eyes were dazzled?

"How do you like it, Yanyan? I specially asked someone to prepare it. I heard that girls like this color."

Mu Nanyan was afraid that he would be sad, so she had to bite the bullet and say that she liked it. Although she was a woman, it didn't mean that all women liked pink. Wouldn't it be horrible to sleep at night?

Lord Mu Yichen came to visit with gifts. After this period of treatment, his health has improved a lot. He had not apologized to the second young lady of the Mu family for breaking the appointment some time ago. After thinking about it these days, he felt that he should come to visit in person to show his importance to Murong Yue.

He had to admit that Mu Nanyan's medical skills were really good. He felt that he had recovered almost completely in just a few days. He planned to marry Mu Nanyan when things were about to get done so that the two sisters would not be separated. After all, Mu Nanyan was also a talented person, but he really couldn't like her personality. A woman should be gentle and virtuous. After getting married, she should stay at home to take care of her husband and children. She wouldn't run around outside every day.

When he brings her home, I'll have to find a nanny to teach her well. It would be good if she could change half of her current temper.

When Mu Xiwen heard that the Fifth Prince had arrived, he deliberately asked someone to tell Murong Yue to come out later. He really didn't know what had happened during this period of time. The Fifth Prince couldn't see anyone else and dared to break his promise to Yue'er. If he wasn't pointed out, he really didn't know his position.

The fifth prince sat in the main seat. The servants served him tea and brought him a few plates of cakes. He tasted the tea and it tasted like aged tea. Could it be that Yue'er drank this kind of tea in the Mu family?

He had no idea that this was the aged tea that Murong Yue had carefully selected for him. He still felt sorry for Murong Yue in his heart, but he had heard that Lao Jiu had given all the new tea that was offered as tribute this year to Mu Nanyan, so he thought he would give some to Yue'er as well. After all, they were sisters. If Mu Nanyan knew what he was thinking, she would probably laugh her back teeth off.

Mu Xiwen calculated the time and walked slowly towards the front hall. When he was almost there, he jogged a few steps. Jun Yichen saw him and stood up quickly, "Prime Minister Mu!"

"Oh, Fifth Prince, I am here to pay my respects to you. I am late because I was too busy with official business. I hope you won't mind." Mu Xiwen had no intention of paying his respects. He was the future father-in-law of the emperor and even the emperor had to be respectful when meeting him, let alone the Fifth Prince.

Jun Yichen didn't care about these things at all, and hurriedly looked behind Mu Xiwen, "Prime Minister, do you know where the second Miss Mu is?"

Mu Xiwen looked embarrassed. "On the way here just now, I heard from the servants that Yue'er was throwing a tantrum. She said that the Fifth Prince broke his promise last time and she hadn't received a letter for many days, so she was feeling a little uncomfortable. I'm going to scold her right now. How could she be like this!" As he said that, he was about to walk out.

Jun Yichen held him back, "Prime Minister Mu, please stop. It's all Yichen's fault that I broke the promise. It's normal for Yue'er to be angry. I'm here today to apologize."

Mu Xiwen found that the Fifth Prince looked better today. He walked very fast after court in the past few days. "Fifth Prince, if I am not mistaken, your body..."

Jun Yichen even started to shy away, "Prime Minister Mu found out about this. I missed my appointment just for Yue'er. Fortunately, I found a great doctor and after a few days of treatment, I feel much better now."

Mu Xiwen secretly thought that this was not good. The reason they supported Jun Yichen was because he was a sickly person. He would not be able to last long when he took the stage in the future. But if he recovered from his illness, it would be a different story. He had to study this matter carefully.

Murong Yue came over with a proud attitude, wiping her eyes from time to time, which made Jun Yichen feel heartbroken. "Yuer, what happened? I know it was my fault for breaking the promise a few days ago. I came here today to apologize to you."

Murong Yue dodged his hand in disdain, "Fifth Prince, there are differences between men and women. We should... It's not that I am a spoiled subject, it's..."

"I understand." Jun Yichen knew that it was not a good idea to argue like this, as women valued their reputation the most.

Murong Yue continued, "It's not your fault. It's mainly because Big Sister really hurt my heart last night."

As soon as Mu Nanyan stepped into the mansion, she heard Bai Lianhua farting. How could she not listen to the bad things said behind someone's back, especially when it was about her? Jun Zhuoyuan knew what Mu Nanyan meant and directly pulled her into his arms.

It seems that the people in the Mu family have too much extra tongue.

Murong Yue sat weakly on the stool, Jun Yichen sat on the other side with a distressed look on his face. Mu Xiwen saw what she was thinking. Mu Nanyan relied on her status as the prince's consort to do evil in the mansion. She should be punished. Even if the fifth prince was not favored, he was still a prince after all.

"Yuer, don't cry. It hurts me to see you cry."

Jun Zhuoyuan didn't expect that the fifth brother would be like this. He usually looks weak, but he didn't expect that he could be like this when coaxing people.

Murong Yue pretended to sob, "If you were distressed, you wouldn't have come today."

Jun Yichen was a little at a loss, he had never coaxed anyone before and this was his fault, so he had to change the subject, "Yuer, tell me what happened last night." He was thinking of marrying Mu Nanyan into the palace as his concubine, but she bullied her own sister before she even got married. How could she live in peace if she married into the palace?

Murong Yue described the incident in a wronged manner. Of course, there were not many true events in the middle, and there were many exaggerations. Jun Yichen slammed the table angrily, "This Mu Nanyan is really lawless. She relied on the name of the ninth brother to bully her sister in the mansion. We in the Jun family will not want such a woman. When I enter the palace, I will definitely talk to my father about it."

Mu Nanyan just found it funny. How did this idiot survive until now?

"Oh, sister, you have such a bad memory. You have forgotten what happened last night? Only 30% of what you just said is true. You have forgotten the remaining 70%. How about I help you recall it?"

Murong Yue didn't expect Mu Nanyan to come back so early. She nervously held her handkerchief and asked, "Big sister, why did you come back so early today?"

"Hey!" Mu Nanyan leaned against the door and sighed, "If I don't come back, I might become a murderer, and you're the one who sentenced me to this. What do you mean, sister?"

Murong Yue was choked by her words. Jun Yichen interrupted, "Don't worry about what Yue'er says. Mu Nanyan, you said you opened a shop to subsidize the family, but it's fine, but you don't even give a bottle of beauty cream to your own sister. That's too cold-blooded." It was a pity that he had been attracted to her before, but fortunately he didn't marry her.

Mu Nanyan burst out laughing. Is this cold-blooded? "Sister? Are we really sisters?"

Mu Xiwen was shocked when he heard her words. Could it be that she knew? That shouldn't be the case. Only he and his mother knew about what happened back then, and the other two were the Su family. But the Su family had been driven out of Beijing long ago, and Mu Nanyan had never come into contact with them, so it was impossible for them to know.

Mu Nanyan noticed the change in his expression, "Father, you said Aunt Shen wouldn't... Why do I feel like I don't look like my second sister at all!"

Murong Yue's face darkened. She had thought about this problem before. She was indeed not alike with Mu Nanyan. She had to admit that Mu Nanyan was prettier than her, but that was not a big deal. Men just liked girls like her who were pitiful and delicate.

Mu Xiwen said angrily, "Mu Nanyan, what are you talking about! How can a junior like you slander your elders like this? Who taught you to be so uneducated!"

Mu Nanyan tilted her head without getting angry, and her tone was playful, "Of course it's you, father. I'm a child without a mother, so of course it's you, father, who educated me."

Mu Xiwen was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. Murong Yue felt something was wrong and started sobbing again. Sure enough, Jun Yichen noticed her first. Then he remembered that the Aunt Shen mentioned by Mu Nanyan was Murong Yue's mother. But how did this Madam Shen become Aunt Shen?

"Mu Nanyan, don't go too far!"

Mu Nanyan looked at him like a fool, and she groaned loudly. It seemed that the treatment was quite effective. Did she think she was strong enough to show off? It was fine to show off to others, but she would die showing off to her!

"I wonder what reason the Fifth Prince has to get involved in the affairs of my Mu family's inner house?"

Jun Yichen snorted coldly, "It's not that I want to intervene, it's just that I can't stand it. If my ninth brother saw you like this, he would definitely break off the engagement with you!"

"Really? How come I didn't know I would break off the engagement?"
