When Changsun Lingxi heard this, he was so angry that his face bulged like a goldfish's mouth: "Mu Chuan! Do you actually suspect me of poisoning?"
"Isn't it...otherwise, princess, why would you give me food?"
"Isn't today your birthday?
This is just my wish!"
Changsun Lingxi turned sideways, as if he was angry, and then raised his voice and said, "Since the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is so ignorant of praise, that's it, Xiaohong, take the things back!"
The palace maid Xiao Hong was about to take back Muchuan's wooden basket. Muchuan suddenly retracted his hand and hid the basket behind his back, and said with a smile: "It's rare for the princess to be so considerate. If I don't accept it, it will really seem disrespectful."
,Thank you princess! Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
Muchuan was talking with a smile. Seeing him like this made his eldest son Lingxi disgusted.
It's just that I hate him. He helped to intercede in front of the emperor today, and even used it to reduce his salary and territory. Otherwise, the eldest grandson Lingxi might really marry him.
It was Sun Lingxi who remembered Muchuan's favor that sent him cakes to show his affection. Now that the gift has been sent, it is considered that the "debt" of the two of them has been cleared.
"Mu Chuan, the grudge between you and me is over. If nothing happens in the future, we will never see each other again!"
Changsun Lingxi said something coldly and led a group of guards and maids away.
Seeing her beautiful figure disappear, coming and going without a trace, it made Monk Muchuan Zhang Er scratch his head.
What is this Princess Fangxue doing?
After delivering the pastries, he said a bunch of strange things?
Muchuan obviously didn't understand.
Ouyang Bufan, on the other hand, came over with a smile and put his hand on Muchuan's shoulder: "My lord... you are so blessed! I think Princess Fangxue seems to be interested in you!"
"ha?
Are you kidding me? Which of your eyes has seen that she is interested in me?"
"Princess, I will give you a homemade cake specially! But you must know that except the emperor and the queen, no one else can enjoy such blessings!"
"Even this doesn't mean anything..." Muchuan shook his head and waved his hands, he would not listen to Ouyang Bufan's nonsense.
But now the moon is high in the sky and it's getting late. If the three of them continue to procrastinate like this, I'm afraid they won't have to go back today.
"Okay, okay, stop dawdling, let's leave the palace quickly!"
Muchuan tossed his robe and took the lead to walk forward.
Chang'an City Imperial Palace, Fangxue Palace.
The main room of the inner palace is quiet and peaceful, with candlelight flickering and shining brightly.
After Changsun Lingxi came back, she sat on a maple chair with her hands on her chin and her eyes empty. She seemed to be thinking about something.
Seeing the princess's appearance, the personal maid Xiao Hong asked in confusion: "Princess, what's wrong with you?
It’s already late at night, it’s time to go to bed.”
"Xiaohong... I just don't understand something."
"Xiao Hong is so stupid that she really doesn't understand what the princess is thinking. Is the princess worried?
Why not tell Xiaohong, Xiaohong is willing to share the princess' worries."
"I mean, what kind of person is this Muchuan?
I can't figure him out."
As a personal maid, Xiao Hong naturally knew what happened to Muchuan and Changsun Lingxi today. Although Muchuan was a dirty villain in the princess's mind, among the people and in the court, everyone was full of praise for him.
.
"My servants don't know Master Muchuan, but everyone says that he is a good man, a man of literary and military skills, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, with talents and learning comparable to those of the Three Kingdoms, and a heroic spirit comparable to Xiang Yu and Guan Yu."
"Yeah...everyone praises him so much, so it seems so vain!"
Changsun Lingxi had long heard of Muchuan's reputation. It was as perfect as a natural jade stone, with no flaws at all.
However, as long as we are human, we must have shortcomings. Those who are almost perfect are just cunning enough to cover up their shortcomings. In the eyes of Changsun Lingxi, Muchuan is such a person, so she disguised herself as a man and went to investigate.
When she checked today, she only saw that he was scheming, despicable and cunning, but she didn't see many of his saintly and heroic words and deeds. For this reason, she felt that the rumors widely spread outside were exaggerated.
However, today in the Imperial Study Room of the Central Palace, Muchuan saw that she was unwilling to marry him, so he actually helped her plead for mercy! He even reduced his official salary! If he was really a despicable, shameless person with evil intentions, he would not be like this.
do it!
Changsun Lingxi secretly thought, could it be that I really misunderstood him?
Could it be that he is really as heroic and chivalrous as outsiders say, with both wisdom and courage?
"Princess!"
Xiaohong suddenly spoke up, which suddenly brought Changsun Lingxi back to her senses.
"Xiaohong, what's wrong?"
"Princess, you have to rest after midnight! You have to pay your respects to the Queen tomorrow! If you are really curious about Master Muchuan, why not pay another visit?"
Visit again?
Changsun Lingxi's heart skipped a beat and she shook her head like a rattle. She didn't want to go find him.
You must know that not long ago, Changsun Lingxi made harsh words and stopped seeing him, but then turned around and took the initiative to visit him. Wouldn't it mean that she had lost her majesty as a princess?
"No, no, I can't go find him!"
"I understand the princess's mood. The princess does not want to find Lord Muchuan, but there are other ways to see him."
"any solution?"
At that moment, Xiaohong leaned into Changsun Lingxi's ear and whispered quietly.
After hearing this, Sun Lingxi, the eldest son, smiled slightly and said, "This is a good idea. Just do it your way."
On the other side, in the inner city of Chang'an City, at the residence of the Minister of Hubu, a carriage stopped at the door in the moonlight.
Muchuan fell off the carriage drunkenly. When the two guards on duty at the door saw Muchuan coming back, they hurried over to greet him and help him.
Big-eyed guard: "Your Excellency, are you back?
Why are you so drunk?"
Little Ear Guard: "Sir, are you still conscious?
Miss Xin'er has been waiting for a long time, would you like to meet Miss Xin'er?"
Muchuan was indeed drunk, but he was almost awake half an hour after leaving the palace and riding back in a carriage.
He was surprised to hear that Xin'er was still awake and had been waiting for him to come back.
When he thought about it later, when he linked Xin'er's mystery yesterday morning with his birthday today, he immediately thought of what happened! Xin'er must have wanted to give him a surprise, so that's why he waited for so long!
Patting his head, Muchuan secretly sighed that he was in big trouble. The hour had passed and it was already the next day! Maybe Xiner had prepared a big surprise for him, but he was already past his birthday when he returned home at night. I'm afraid she
It must be very disappointing.
Muchuan walked in with hasty steps and saw that the mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lights, shining brightly.
There are bright red flowers at the door of the inner hall, and red cloth and silk are hung on the door, paper windows, and cantilevered wooden columns.
