With a painful smile, Mu Jingnan grabbed Yun Yan's hand, looked into her eyes affectionately, and said softly: "You're not talking nonsense, Yan'er, I don't think I'm good enough for you, so from now on I
I have to treat you better, so that you will be reluctant to leave me!"
"..." Yun Yan covered her mouth and smiled. His love words were getting better and better. However, when she raised her eyes and looked at the soft color on his face and the determination in his eyes, her smile also followed.
He softened, and his heart suddenly softened. Today, he felt different from usual. He seemed to be very careful in everything. It was not that he had never seen that gentle look before, but today it was particularly heart-warming. Her head unconsciously touched
On his shoulder, she whispered for a long time, "Actually, I..."
"Dong dong dong..." A knock on the door came from outside, accompanied by a male voice with a hint of joking, "When will you two come out? I don't mind, but you have to wait over there.
Anxious."
Only then did Yun Yan come back to her senses. It was already getting late, and the things over there really needed to be dealt with. She stood up straight, with a slightly embarrassed look on her face, "Okay, we should go out."
Mu Jingnan smiled, raised his hand to caress Yun Yan's cheek, and nodded: "Yes!" After saying that, he moved forward and opened the door.
Looking at the back in front of her, Yun Yan lowered her eyes, "Actually, I don't want to leave you either." This was what she wanted to say to him just now, but even if she said this, would it change the current situation? No, it would be better not to say it.
The front hall of the palace
Looking at the man in light yellow brocade robe sitting in the first seat on the right, he frowned and looked ahead gloomily. The man behind him in black attire stood still, looking straight ahead.
However, as if he heard footsteps outside, Xiao Yao suddenly turned his head and looked outside. He saw a man in a cloud-white gown and a woman in a goose-yellow skirt walking in. The two walked forward side by side. He
His eyebrows moved slightly, no matter how many times he looked at these two people, he still felt that the expressions and figures matched indescribably.
"Fourth brother is in a good mood today. Come to this humble residence of the king. The king and the princess got up a little late, which kept fourth brother waiting for a long time." Mu Jingnan put one hand on his back and glanced at the light yellow brocade robe above him.
The man said indifferently.
After hearing these words, Mu Qingyuan suddenly came back to his senses. He looked up and saw Yun Yan and Mu Jingnan coming over, and stood up. However, after carefully considering his words, he got up late? Did he get up at this hour?!
His frown, which was originally frowned, became deeper now. Looking at the two people with calm expressions, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart. If not, if he hadn't broken off the engagement, she should be his.
"I pay my respects to the Fourth Prince." Yun Yan glanced at Mu Qingyuan and felt slightly blessed.
Mu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and tried his best to look calm. He looked at Yun Yan and said calmly: "The Sixth Princess does not need to be polite."
Yun Yan nodded and stood still.
At this time, Mu Jingnan took a step forward and stood directly between Yun Yan and Mu Jingnan. He chuckled and said, "I wonder what the fourth brother is doing here today?"
After glancing at Mu Jingnan, Mu Qingyuan's eyes darkened, he glanced at the person behind him, and said in a deep voice: "I came here today because I have something to discuss with the Sixth Princess."
"Discuss with the princess? This is beyond my expectation." Mu Jingnan chuckled, "I thought you were here to see me."
With a slight snort, Mu Qingyuan obviously didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with Mu Jingnan. He looked directly past Mu Jingnan, looked at Yun Yan, and got straight to the point, "What do you want?"
Looking at the person in front of him, Yun Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "What the Fourth Prince said is strange, what can I want?"
"Is this your revenge? To get revenge on me for shutting down Linglong Pavilion?" Mu Qingyuan frowned and shouted. In the past few days, he had searched all over Liangdu for porcelain and jade merchants, but no one was willing to help.
, he had to wonder if he didn't have enough prestige. But in the end, he knew that there was someone more intimidating than him. She could make all the merchants in East Vietnam bow before her. In three days, today
It was almost there and he was at his wits end.
"Retaliation? The Fourth Prince has really wronged me with his words. I closed the Linglong Pavilion with all my heart." Yun Yan glanced at Mu Qingyuan, walked a few steps forward, walked to Mu Jingnan, and smiled at him.
, turned around and looked at the man in the light yellow brocade robe behind him. Compared with the high-spirited figure before, his back looked a little more powerless at this moment. However, these were all things he asked for.
Mu Qingyuan also turned around and looked at Yun Yan, so convinced that he still vaguely remembered what she said to him before leaving that day when she announced the closure of Linglong Pavilion. She was waiting for him to beg her. She seemed to have expected it.
It was like today's situation. He said in a deep voice: "Now I have no way out. The three-day period has arrived. Tell me, what do you want me to do to help me survive this crisis?
"
Smiling softly, Yun Yan asked: "What does the Fourth Prince's three-day period have to do with me? Let's not say that I don't have the ability. Besides, why should I help you get through this crisis?"
"You..." Mu Qingyuan said angrily, wasn't she just waiting for him to beg her? He really doubted that the Snow Country wanted those jade articles because of her.
Yun Yan raised his eyebrows, "Don't you, the fourth prince, know that when you ask for help, you should act like you are asking for help? Have you ever seen anyone be arrogant when asking others for something?"
Mu Qingyuan's eyes widened and he looked at Yun Yan angrily. He clenched his hands, and veins popped out on his forehead due to anger. Did she really want to fight him to the end? Humph, why did he, the Fourth Prince, demand a woman? And
This woman is still the woman he doesn't want.
There was silence in the room. Mu Jingnan put his arms around Yunyan's shoulders and said softly to her: "You haven't eaten anything today. You must be hungry. Let's go to the dining room to eat first."
Immediately, he turned to Mu Qingyuan and said, "Fourth brother, we are going to have dinner, so I won't accompany you for now. I think you still have a lot of things to deal with, so we won't send you off." As he said that, he smiled at Yun Yan,
He took her hand and walked outside.
Yun Yan glanced at Mu Jingnan in surprise. Seeing the smile in his eyes, she understood in an instant that this time it was really a woman who followed her husband. She couldn't help but smile and followed him out.
Xiao Yao's eyes darkened slightly, looking at the departing figure, then at Mu Qingyuan, sighing in his heart, in front of these two people, how could the fourth prince be his opponent.
Sure enough, Mu Qingyuan suddenly turned around and shouted: "Sixth Princess, please stay." He looked ahead with a sharp look, "It is my fault. Now the Snow Country needs to trade jade with the East Yue Country. This matter is related to national affairs.
, I hope you can put national affairs first."
After listening to the following words, Yun Yan paused, and she suddenly chuckled, "State affairs? I am just a weak woman, how can I care about such national affairs?"
After a pause in his words, Mu Jingnan frowned and whispered, "About the closure of Linglong Pavilion, it was my fault."
"Negligence? This makes people curious. I closed Linglong Pavilion myself, how could it have anything to do with the Fourth Prince?" Yun Yan raised his hand slightly, lifted his chin lightly, and looked ahead with a gloomy face.
Mu Qingyuan turned his face away. Although he was unwilling to admit it, at this moment, didn't she just want him to admit his fault? If the business with the Snow Country Country did not go well, his father would not give him anything in the future.
There was a chance. So, he could only bear it, "I did not investigate the whole story clearly, so I wrongly accused Linglong Pavilion of selling inferior jade. This led to the closure of Linglong Pavilion, caused losses to Linglong Pavilion, and damaged the reputation of the Seventh Young Master.
. Please also ask the Sixth Princess, no, it should be the Seventh Young Master who can ignore the past grudges and continue to talk about the opening of Linglong Pavilion."
"Did I hear you correctly? What did the Fourth Prince say just now? Do you want me to continue opening Linglong Pavilion? This is really beyond my expectation." Yun Yan turned around and looked at it with a smile on his face.
Mu Qingyuan's eyes were filled with gloom.
Looking at that cold and gloomy look, Mu Jingnan frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I hope that Linglong Pavilion will continue to open." If Linglong Pavilion does not continue to open, his mission will not be completed this time.
"Could it be that the Fourth Prince closed my Linglong Pavilion whenever he wanted and opened it whenever he wanted? Can the Fourth Prince just write off Linglong Pavilion and write off all the previous matters? What is Linglong Pavilion's reputation over the years? Even if it
Now that it has reopened, do you think anyone will still believe in Linglong Pavilion?" Yun Yan looked at Mu Qingyuan coldly.
Mu Qingyuan's eyes darkened. He had already said this, so why should she be so aggressive? He suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Then what do you want?"
"It's not what I want, it's what the Fourth Prince wants." Yun Yan said indifferently, "I remember I said, Fourth Prince, you will come to beg me. It is true that you are here today, but there are some things that you
It seems I still haven’t figured it out yet.”
"What?" Mu Qingyuan took a deep breath and whispered.
Yun Yan looked at the person in front of him coldly, "Everyone should be responsible for everyone's choices. Didn't the fourth prince swear that at the beginning? Linglong Pavilion also closed as you wished. But the reputation of Linglong Pavilion is
There is no room for others to slander you, so let me help you. I want you to send a notice to tell the world that you were the one who slandered Linglong Pavilion that day. Linglong Pavilion has never deceived the people. This is just one of them.
Secondly, I want you to apologize to everyone in Linglong Pavilion, and this is the price you should pay."
Want him to admit that he framed Linglong Pavilion? Mu Qingyuan glared at Yun Yan with slightly angry eyes.
As if she knew what Mu Qingyuan was thinking, Yun Yan smiled lightly and said, "The Fourth Prince can choose not to agree, but you know what is more important." After saying that, she looked at Mu Jingnan, "I'm hungry.
Come on, let’s go eat.”
Mu Jingnan smiled and nodded, took Yun Yan's hand and walked directly outside.
Looking at the departing figure, Mu Qingyuan felt as if he was about to burst into flames. Was she forcing him to a dead end? He gritted his teeth and looked ahead, he would not let it go like this.
Xiao Yao's eyes darkened. The Fourth Prince was in a dilemma this time. Once he admitted that he had framed Linglong Pavilion, the people would definitely think that he was unethical, and he was afraid that he would lose some of the people's support.
dining room
The table was full of food, but Yunyan and Mu Jingnan were the only ones sitting there eating.
"Did I behave well just now?" Mu Jingnan put dishes for Yun Yan and suddenly looked at her and said.
Yun Yan naturally understood the meaning of his words. She nodded and said with a smile: "This time, I know that a woman sings and her husband follows suit. A child can be taught." He was not showing off, but he wanted to pull her away just now. It was obvious that he was
Mu Qingyuan was so excited, otherwise he wouldn't beg her so quickly!
"It seems that Yan'er is planning to give birth to a son for me?" Mu Jingnan glanced at Yun Yan and said leisurely, while continuing to pick up food for her.
