As for Changsun Lingxi’s attempt to harm himself today?
Of course Muchuan would not let it go. Since she couldn't take care of her eldest grandson Lingxi, she would let her father take care of her. That's right, Muchuan was going to complain to Li Shimin!
Just as Muchuan turned around to leave, Changsun Lingxi called out to him: "Stand here, Minister of the Ministry of Finance."
"oh?
I wonder what else the Princess has to do?"
"Shang Shu, where do you think this princess's residence is?
This is not a place where you can come and leave whenever you want."
Muchuan could hear the difficult tone in Changsun Lingxi's tone. It seemed that she was unwilling to let him go like this. The key was that he had not yet understood how he had offended her.
"I wonder what the princess wants?"
"According to the palace rules, I will fight thirty times in court and drive you away."
Changsun Lingxi said in a calm voice, and with a wave of his sleeves, two eunuchs came.
The two eunuchs stood on the left and right sides of Muchuan, and pressed their hands on Muchuan's shoulders.
"Master Shangshu, I'm offended."
The two eunuchs said this and escorted Muchuan out, as if they wanted to fight him.
He really bullied others too much. First he asked the guards to attack him, and then he made the palace maid show off his power. Now he still wants to fight?
Shouldn't we just treat him as a paper tiger?
"The tiger will treat me as a sick cat if he doesn't show off his power!"
Muchuan broke away from the restraints of the two eunuchs in a flash, and then ran up to the eldest grandson Lingxi. He wanted to explain clearly to her.
There were a group of eunuchs and maids surrounding Changsun Lingxi. When they saw Muchuan approaching, they all came to stop him.
"Shang Shu, the princess is worth a thousand gold, please get out of here quickly!"
"Protect the princess, protect the princess!"
"Master Shangshu, please don't embarrass us, otherwise we will be rude to you."
Suddenly the scene became chaotic, out of order and bustling.
However, a group of eunuchs and maidens came to stop him, but they could not stop Muchuan. He could only dodge from left to right, and all the eunuchs and maidens who rushed towards him were missed one by one.
Just as he was able to pass thousands of troops with ease, Muchuan successfully arrived in front of Changsun Lingxi.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?
Why are you going so hard against me?"
Muchuan said in a deep voice.
But for some reason, Changsun Lingxi's cheeks turned red, her breathing became rapid, and she trembled: "You...you are too close to me!"
After what she said, Muchuan realized that the distance between the two was indeed very close. The distance between their cheeks was only a fist, but it didn't matter, Muchuan didn't care about these small details.
"Princess, please don't change the topic. Why are you teasing me like this?"
When Muchuan spoke, he even pressed his hands on her shoulders, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
As a result, as soon as Muchuan touched her, her body vibrated as if an electric current had passed through her. She raised her palm and slapped Muchuan on the cheek.
He received a slap inexplicably, which made Muchuan spin. In this brief moment, all the eunuchs and guards around him rushed towards him.
Like carrying a thousand kilograms of stone, a group of people immediately overwhelmed Muchuan.
Muchuan tried to struggle, but could not move at all. He was as painful and aggrieved as Sun Wukong pressed against the Five Fingers Mountain.
However, Changsun Lingxi, who was sitting on the imperial concubine chair, stood up, flicked her cloud sleeves, and looked at Muchuan with wide, watery eyes: "You...you wild monkey who doesn't know etiquette, how dare you treat me like this!
"
"ah?"
"You dare to touch me?
Even if I kill you on the spot, it’s still reasonable!”
While speaking, Changsun Lingxi took a long sword from a guard and pointed the blade at Muchuan's forehead.
You must know that the distance between the sword blade and the forehead is only three centimeters. If Changsun Lingxi had the intention, he might actually take his life.
Muchuan couldn't help but swallowed, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, princess, but the guilty minister deserves to die..."
"Since you know you should die, then die!"
She was about to strike with her sword, and she had no intention of showing mercy! But Muchuan was so pressed that he couldn't move, and couldn't resist even if he wanted to.
With no other choice, Muchuan could only beg for mercy and shouted quickly: "The guilty minister deserves to die, but at least let me die, right?
Otherwise, I won’t let you go, princess, even if you go to hell!”
The sword blade that was about to fall stopped in mid-air. Changsun Lingxi stopped the sword blade and did not chop it down. Instead, he snorted coldly: "Don't you know what you did wrong?"
"How could I possibly know! I came here today just to ask the princess what the sinner did wrong to make the princess angry."
"I don't know if you really don't know or if you don't know... Since you don't know, I'll tell you."
Changsun Lingxi winked at Xiaocui, the palace maid in green clothes next to her.
At that moment, Xiaocui said: "Mr. Muchuan, do you still remember the cakes given by the princess?"
"pastry?"
Muchuan was obviously stunned for a moment. When did Changsun Lingxi send pastries? Why didn't he remember it?
Xiaocui saw that Muchuan had forgotten, so she reminded him, saying that His Majesty had specially granted a marriage that day. Muchuan knew that his eldest grandson Lingxi did not want to marry him, so he resolutely refused the marriage at the cost of being demoted and having his salary cut.
Later, in order to express his gratitude to Muchuan, Changsun Lingxi gave him a basket of cakes.
After being reminded by Xiaocui, Muchuan finally remembered that this incident indeed happened, but he didn't understand what the bad treatment he received from Changsun Lingxi had to do with the pastry.
"Master Shangshu, do you know that this basket of cakes was made by the princess herself?
Except for the emperor and the empress, no one else has such a blessing."
"Oh...I've heard of this, so what?"
"May I ask, Lord Shangshu, have you ever tasted pastries?"
"This..." Muchuan rolled his eyes. He was thinking about it. After all, it was more than ten days ago and he couldn't remember clearly.
However, after nearly half a cup of tea, Muchuan was speechless, so Xiaocui said: "Master Shangshu has never tasted the cakes. You gave this cake to the servants of Shangshu's residence to taste, but you still remember
?"
"Oh, I remembered, there is such a thing!"
That night, Muchuan returned to the mansion after receiving the cakes from his eldest grandson Lingxi.
Because that night was his birthday, Xin'er and everyone in the mansion prepared a birthday banquet for him. There were all kinds of good wine and food, and even an ancient version of the "birthday cake" specially made by Xin'er. For this, he had a chubby stomach.
Yes, naturally I couldn’t eat the basket of cakes.
Later, without even opening the pastry box to look at it, Muchuan asked Temujin to distribute the pastries vigorously for everyone to taste.
Now Muchuan has finally remembered the whole story, but it's strange, how did Sun Lingxi, the chief of staff, know about it?
