It took at least several hours to get from Linggu Temple to the Imperial City. Everyone present got up very early. It was already past noon and they had lunch, and they felt sleepy.
Mu Qingyan was indeed a little tired. After sitting in the carriage for so long, her whole body was sore and weak.
During the dinner, Bailiyou saw her tired face. After she put down the dishes, he said, "Master, can you take me to the wing?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the people behind him and said, "They are tired from traveling and traveling, so I'm afraid they need to rest for a while."
The outing was not limited to this one day, they had to stay at least three or four days, so they were not in a hurry.
Master Jingkong nodded, and the others followed suit.
The courtyard at the back of Linggu Temple is specially built for outings. No monks live here for convenience.
It is divided into east and west sides. The east side is for men's dormitories, and the west side is for women. There is a river in the middle, and the rockery is used as decoration. A large area is isolated from the men's and women's dormitories. Most people will not climb up.
Not to mention that walls were set up to completely surround it on both sides.
Naturally, Bailiyou led a group of men to live in the east courtyard, while the women were led by Bailirou, a princess.
There are differences between men and women. Bailiyou took pity on a certain little woman who was tired for a long time and kindly let her go.
Mu Qingyan looked at her freed hands and breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to move.
Bailiyou glanced at the people who were waiting for him to speak, and said in a deep voice: "You all should rest first. You can make your own arrangements at dusk. If I find someone disturbing the master's Qing Xiu, don't blame me for being unkind."
When he glanced at Mu Qi beside him, his eyes flickered and he said directly: "Mu Qi."
Mu Qi immediately walked out, cupped his fists and saluted, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"You just stay with Miss Mu and wait for her personally." Bailiyou raised his head and said loudly: "The rest of the guards can be taken away with them. They don't have to live in the east courtyard."
Mu Qi nodded, returned to Mu Qingyan, stood behind her, and signaled to Fenxiang with his eyes. Upon seeing this, Fenxiang quickly came around from behind.
I finally got close to the lady, but she was suffocated.
Bailiyou has the most distinguished status here, so naturally, everyone listens to him.
After saying that, he looked at Mu Qingyan and said, "I will be waiting for you outside then."
Mu Qing smoked her cigarette and could only nod. In fact, she really didn't want to come out.
But he couldn't defeat the other party.
Bailiyou left with satisfaction.
Looking at his back, Mu Qingyan curled her lips slightly. Bailirou walked to her side and joked: "It's so hard to separate."
Mu Qingyan looked slightly embarrassed, "Sister Rou..."
Bailirou smiled understandingly and said no more.
"Qingyan, it's true that you are here with the prince." As soon as they left, Jiang Xingge couldn't wait to come over and looked at Mu Qingyan excitedly.
"..." Can she say it was forced? She didn't want to either.
But my cousin will definitely not believe it.
Jiang Xingge held her arm, leaned into her ear and asked mysteriously: "How is it? Have you ever..."
Mu Qingyan glared at her and said quietly: "Cousin, does he know you are so bold?" He dared to say such things without fear of being overheard by others.
This bystander naturally refers to the reluctant Jiang Wan opposite.
Seeing her looking over, Jiang Wan's face darkened, and she bowed stiffly to Bailirou, "My maid is really overworked, so I will leave now."
After saying that, he raised his feet and left, but as soon as he stepped out, he heard Jiang Xingge's voice: "Don't enter the wrong room."
Jiang Wan almost sprained her ankles. This was a warning to her not to live in the main hall.
Seeing her angry but unable to let go, Jiang Xingge sneered.
Mu Yun's eyes flashed slightly on the side, but she walked over openly and looked at Mu Qingyan with a smile.
Mu Qingyan felt a little guilty because she really forgot to call her when she left.
"Your Highness Princess, Qing Yan, I will go back to the room first." After saying that, he left gracefully with his maid.
Looking at her figure, Jiang Xingge sighed and said, "Qing Yan, your sister still cares about you. At least she will help you outside."
Unlike Jiang Wan, that pig didn't even think twice and knew that he was going against her.
Mu Qingyan said softly: "Because she is from the Mu family."
The Holy Emperor views the Mu family as a thorn in his side, but they are not allowed to fight among themselves in front of outsiders, lest they make others laugh.
"Okay, let's go in too." Bailirou suggested, "We're all tired. Let's go back to rest and recuperate. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it in the evening."
Mu Qingyan and Jiang Xingge looked at each other, and then replied in unison: "Okay."
After saying that, the three of them walked into the west courtyard with their maids.
Although there are many rooms, there are only a few independent courtyards, so Master Jingkong specially asked his disciples to hang signs in front of those courtyards.
When they looked up, they saw the word "白" hanging on the courtyard in the middle. The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
"It seems we can't live in this room anymore." Mu Qingyan said with a smile, "Bai Tong Bai", I'm afraid he deliberately avoided the taboo of Baili, but it can still be seen.
Bailirou nodded, "Master, you're paying attention." She turned around, looked at the two of them and asked, "Come in and take a rest?"
Mu Qingyan thought for a while but shook her head and refused, "I won't disturb Sister Rou's rest."
"Okay then." Bailirou was a little disappointed.
The maid closed the door, and Jiang Xingge's voice rang in her ears again, "Sister Rou, you are so affectionate. If you don't know, you two would be good sisters."
Mu Qingyan couldn't laugh or cry, "Are you jealous now? She is my future sister-in-law."
Jiang Xingge tilted his head, pulled her and walked slowly and said, "That's not necessarily true. Do you think the Holy One will agree to marry his precious daughter to the Mu family?"
Of course, the possibility of exploitation is ruled out, but there is a high probability that it will not happen.
"Yes." Mu Qingyan said firmly, even if she was using Sister Rou, she must let her brother and Sister Rou be together.
"You should worry about yourself first. Why are you in the same car as the prince? Are you afraid of being scolded to death by those women?"
Mu Qingyan smiled bitterly, "I don't want to either, but if he insists on doing this, I have no choice."
You can't slap the prince in the face in front of everyone. That's okay. The Holy Emperor will definitely think that the Mu family is so bad.
"But if you act like this, you might be said to be a beauty, or someone to say that the direct daughter of the Mu family is obsessed with the prince and has no idea what he means." Jiang Xingge kicked the pebbles and looked back at her.
"No matter what I do, people will notice me." Mu Qingyan was helpless, "It's better to just let nature take its course."
Now she feels that she can't offend Bailiyou even if she offends outsiders. This person is too sinister.
Suddenly Jiang Xingge came over and said with a knowing look: "Actually, the prince treats you like this because he wants to stabilize your position as the potential prince."
Although I hate to admit it, it is true.
"But Qingyan, you have to be careful. If you go back this time, I'm afraid there will be more people who are jealous of you, and I'm sure the Holy One will also make things difficult for you."
It's strange that his best son is so considerate and considerate for a woman, and he doesn't get angry.
"I know."
No matter what, she had to face it, and she had no way out.
