Your Majesty, the princess ran away again!

Chapter 125 Xiangci Palace

Mu Nanyan walked down the stairs slowly, "Why is father here?"

Mu Xiwen walked forward angrily, "Mu Nanyan, don't you even care about the Mu family anymore?"

Mu Nanyan yawned and said, "Father, why do I not care about the Mu family? Is it because I run a hospital?"

Mu Xiwen stared at Mu Nanyan, furious. "Hospital? What kind of hospital do you run? I heard about this right after the morning court session. How can the eldest daughter of the Mu family show up in public? This really ruins the reputation of our Mu family!"

Mu Nanyan asked blankly, "Reputation? Father, how could I ruin the reputation of the Mu family?"

Mu Xiwen said confidently: "The eldest daughter of the Mu family is opening a shop outside. Could it be that my Mu family didn't give you food to eat?"

Mu Nanyan shook her head. "I gave it to you, I gave it to you. How could my father not give me food? It's just that the food in this house always smells bad. I don't know if it's because Yan'er's mouth is bad or..."

Before Mu Nanyan could explain clearly, the newly recruited people around her all looked surprised. It turned out that this was the kind of life Miss Mu lived at home, which was completely different from what they had imagined.

Mu Xiwen felt the strange looks from the people around him and coughed twice, "Mu Nanyan, look at you. My Mu family provides you with food and clothing. Now that you have grown stronger and have the Ninth Prince as your backer, you are so ungrateful?"

Jun Zhuoyuan knew that it was his turn to appear. If he didn't appear now, he would have no chance. "Prime Minister Mu, do you still know the word ungrateful? It seems that you are the ungrateful one. I remember that when the Su family left Beijing, you didn't do anything."

Mu Xiwen was shocked. He didn't expect Jun Zhuoyuan to be here. He had been busy with government affairs during the morning court today and didn't notice whether the Ninth Prince was there. Now he was here with Mu Nanyan. Did the Ninth Prince hear what he just said?

The more Mu Xiwen thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly bowed and saluted, "Your Highness Prince Li."

Jun Zhuoyuan smiled evilly, "It seems that Prime Minister Mu doesn't take me seriously at all. It took him so long to pay his respects."

Mu Xiwen was so frightened that he shuddered, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is terrified! It's all because my eyesight has been bad these days, so I didn't see you, Your Highness Prince Li."

Jun Zhuoyuan didn't want to discuss the matter any further, so he asked in a cold voice, "Since Prime Minister Mu said so, I will believe you for once. I wonder why Prime Minister Mu came here and yelled so loudly today?"

"Could it be that my princess did something wrong?"

Mu Xiwen heard that his words had hidden meanings. Could it be that the Ninth Prince also didn't want Mu Nanyan to open a shop? This time he found a better excuse, "Your Highness Prince Li, I am not scolding her, but my daughter is ignorant of the world. What other young lady is running around outside? How dare she open a shop outside!"

Jun Zhuoyuan nodded as he listened, "What do you think of what Prime Minister Yan Yanmu said?"

"I think he's just farting." Mu Nanyan rolled her eyes at him.

"Your Highness Prince Li, look at this... Alas, it's all my fault for raising such a daughter. Mu Nanyan, why don't you hurry back to me? What's wrong with running out of the mansion every day? Listen to what you say again."

Mu Nanyan was annoyed when she saw him, and secretly pinched the person in the wheelchair. Jun Zhuoyuan felt pain, "Yanyan~"

"Let him go quickly, I'm tired." Mu Nanyan was already exhausted on the second floor just now. She didn't get enough sleep in the past two days, and she had a lot of things to do and was running around outside every day. Her body functions had reached their limits.

Jun Zhuoyuan held her hand and kissed it gently, which made Mu Xiwen stunned, "Your Highness Prince Li, this..."

Jun Zhuoyuan said coldly, "Prime Minister Mu, aren't you meddling too much? Our Yanyan can do whatever she wants. If your Mu family can't tolerate it, Queen Mother has a big place in the palace and she's looking forward to Yanyan going there every day. It's just right that I'll ask someone to notify Queen Mother to let Yanyan get close to the palace. I think no one can bully Yanyan here."

Mu Xiwen was already terrified. It seemed that he had guessed Jun Zhuoyuan's intention wrongly. "Your Highness Prince Li, it's all my fault. I'm old and my brain is always faster than mine. The Mu family cannot tolerate Nan Yan."

Jun Zhuoyuan said calmly: "Really? Then what was Prime Minister Mu doing just now?"

Mu Xiwen trembled and said, "This old minister is stupid and ignorant."

"Since Prime Minister Mu is old, just take a few days off. I will inform my father when I return tonight."

Mu Xiwen thought to himself that this was not good, "Your Highness Prince Li, I am not old enough to need a rest."

Jun Zhuoyuan ignored him and took Mu Nanyan up to the second floor, "Yanyan, does this old man always bully you like this?"

Mu Nanyan pushed him away. Don't even think about tempting her with your beauty. "Is this considered bullying? How did he repay kindness with enmity and kill my mother? Now this is nothing."

Jun Zhuoyuan held her in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm here this time, and what happened before won't happen again."

Mu Nanyan had mixed feelings. If the original owner knew that she had not started to seek revenge yet, would she blame her?

Jun Zhuoyuan bit her ear gently and said, "Yanyan, pay attention." Then he turned her around and leaned over to bully her.

Mu Nanyan was so dizzy from the kiss that she completely forgot what she was thinking just now, "Jun Zhuoyuan, that's enough, I can't breathe."

Jun Zhuoyuan bit her deliberately, "Yan Yan, you can't do it anymore? How are you going to feed me in the future?"

Mu Nanyan pushed him away forcefully, "Jun Zhuoyuan, that's enough, why are you so mean."

Jun Zhuoyuan saw that her rosy little face made her look even more attractive. Unfortunately, the girl was still young and needed to be raised for a while.

Mu Nanyan couldn't stand it anymore. This was really a sin. She was actually older than Jun Zhuoyuan, and their relationship was a sister-brother relationship. How could he take the initiative? Shouldn't he follow her and call her sister?

Jun Zhuoyuan stopped teasing her and straightened her collar, which he had accidentally messed up when they kissed just now.

Mu Xiwen stood downstairs for a long time. Seeing that the two people went upstairs and never came down again, he felt relieved and left in a hurry with his personal guards. He had to find a way to take over Mu Nanyan's shop and not let her continue to develop.

Wanxi knocked on the door with the account book, and Mu Nanyan immediately got up from Jun Zhuoyuan and said, "Come in."

Wan Xi felt goosebumps on her back as soon as she came in. The look in the Ninth Prince's eyes... She hadn't done anything, so why did he look like he wanted to eat her?

Mu Nanyan glared at him. Could you please take your eyes off her? Wan Xi swallowed her saliva and tentatively said, "Miss, this is the account book for the past few days."

Mu Nanyan nodded, "Okay, take him back to the mansion directly. I'll go back to ask Yaoyao for help in the evening."

"Yes, Miss." Wan Xi fled away with the account book.

Mu Nanyan shook her head helplessly. Jun Zhuoyuan's possessiveness was growing stronger and stronger. It felt like if she didn't control him, he would steal her back and lock her up.

When I returned home in the evening, Mu Xiyao was already waiting in the yard, and said bitterly: "Big sister! Why didn't you come to play with me these few days!"

Mu Nanyan smiled and said, "Yaoyao, I'm really sorry. I've been too busy these past few days and haven't been in the mansion at all."

"Big sister, you didn't take me with you when you went out. Did you forget about Yaoyao?" Mu Xiyao felt aggrieved. Mu Nanyan really couldn't stand her like this.

She said softly, "How is that possible? I have prepared a gift for Yaoyao. Wushuang, go to my room and bring out the things I prepared for Yaoyao."

Mu Xiyao thought that what was prepared was a few pieces of jewelry, but what she didn't expect was that there were three whole boxes of things, from food to daily necessities, and five rolls of cloth alone.

Mu Xiyao said in surprise: "Big sister, are these all for me?"

"Yes, I'll have someone send it to you later." Mu Nanyan took her into the house and continued, "Yaoyao, my shop is about to open. This is our account book. It will be handed over to you from today. By the way, I also found an apprentice for you. Her name is Le'er. She used to live in the slums. There is only a grandmother left at home. You should take good care of her."

Mu Xiyao was so happy that she could finally go out. "So, big sister, should I go out with you tomorrow?"

"Of course." Mu Nanyan pinched her face lovingly, "I'll take you to see Le'er tomorrow and look at the shop. You have to mark all the money flow. I'll check it every three months."

Mu Xiyao said softly, "Big sister, why don't you check it once a month?"

"No need for me to believe you."

Mu Xiyao bounced back to the courtyard. Seeing her happy, Jiang asked, "Why is Yaoyao so happy?"

Mu Xiyao repeated to her what Mu Nanyan had just said, and Jiang was very happy after hearing it. The fact that Mu Nanyan could bring Yaoyao with her proved that they were in the same boat, and she could feel more at ease in the future.

Deep in the palace, the queen was having dinner when a maid came in to report, "The queen has sent someone from Xiangci Palace to look for you."

"understood."

Today is really strange. Why did this old lady come to see her? She must be up to no good.

The chief palace maid Bixi asked, "Are you really going?"

The Queen gnawed on a chicken leg and said vaguely, "Go, why not? I want to see what she's up to."

Bi Xi called a few secret guards to follow the queen, and asked someone to inform Emperor Tianyou, and then she followed her to Xiangci Palace with peace of mind.

Today's Xiangci Palace is a little different from the past. The lights are on and the sound of stringed instruments can be heard faintly from the room. The Queen grabs Bixi's hand.

Bixi sensed her nervousness and said, "If the queen is not feeling well, we will go back. I have asked someone to notify the emperor."

The queen straightened her expression and said, "It doesn't matter. I can't just stay away from her forever. I want her to know who the master of this harem is."

The people in the room heard someone coming in and stopped the music. "Here she comes." A hoarse voice came from behind the curtain.

"I am here. I wonder what the Queen Mother wants me to do?"

The Queen Mother came out from behind the curtain and said straight to the point, "I am going to hold a flower viewing banquet tomorrow. Please help me prepare it."

The queen's face darkened, "Are you ordering me to do something, mother?"

"What's wrong? I can't command you now. I'm afraid you have forgotten what you were like when you first entered the palace. You'd better be a good boy, otherwise you will have to suffer the same hardships again." The queen mother said slowly and calmly.

The queen clenched her fingers until the joints turned white.
