Chapter 134 Don't Be Afraid

The wedding is approaching.

Chunzhi is getting busier and busier.

After Song Wan'er recognized Madam Mu as her godmother, she almost took root in the Mu family, helping them plan the wedding and was very happy to be busy.

In late May, Queen Wang sent a maid from the palace to teach Chunzhi the rules.

After these people came, Chunzhi's life in the Mu Mansion was no longer so comfortable. Song Wan'er could have returned to the Song Mansion, but she was reluctant to let her sister suffer alone, so she wrote the eight big words "share happiness and share difficulties" on her forehead.

After three days of this, Princess Anyang sent Lady Cao, Yuzhu and others to the Mu Mansion.

Female official Cao was not inferior to the maids in the palace at all, and quickly sent all the people in the palace back.

Chunzhi's life became comfortable again.

Lady Cao relayed Princess Anyang's words to Chunzhi, and Huo Qionghua said, "It's okay to learn only a little bit of etiquette and rules. No one relies on this to make a living. Just a little bit will do."

Queen Wang previously said that Chunzhi was the daughter of a merchant and was not worthy of public appearances. Now that she has become the daughter of a minister, Queen Wang feels that her father-in-law Mu Qingshan is of little help to Huo Zheng.

Anyway, I just don't like it, but now that things have come to this, there is nothing I can do but accept it.

Sending those maids from the palace was just to suppress Chunzhi's temper and make her obedient and respectful.

However, Princess Anyang liked her niece-in-law very much and was not afraid of Queen Wang at all, so she directly sent female official Cao to compete with Queen Wang's people.

Within a few days, Queen Wang's people were driven back to the palace.

After Chunzhi moved back to the Mu Mansion, Huo Zheng could no longer see her every day like he did when he went to the Song Mansion. He could only send someone to deliver small items or handwritten letters every day.

In fact, Mu Qingshan didn't like the fact that Prince Chang'an sent people every day, but his daughter and Huo Zheng had already decided on their relationship, so as a father, he couldn't say anything.

In addition, Mrs. Mu advised him to turn a blind eye to these matters, so Mu Qingshan said nothing more.

After Yuzhu came to the Mu Mansion, Chunzhi was very happy and asked Yuzhu to accompany her whether she was going out or staying at home.

Song Wan'er was a little jealous at first, but after learning that Yuzhu lost her parents at a young age like her and sold herself into slavery to save her seriously ill mother, she admired Yuzhu very much. The two of them spent a few days together and their relationship gradually became closer.

Mrs. Mu was also very kind to the two girls.

Chunzhi embroidered the wedding dress for several days in a row. Taking advantage of the clear weather, she took Xiaoxing back and took Yuzhu, Song Wan'er and others to the garden to get some fresh air.

The maids gathered together to play shuttlecock, everyone was smiling. Song Wan'er played with them and sweat broke out on her forehead.

Chunzhi held the child in her arms and said to Yuzhu, "Yuzhu, you should play with them too."

Yuzhu shook her head and said with a smile, "I just want to watch them play."

As she spoke, she took the child from Chunzhi's arms and held it for her.

Chunzhi saw that she was very skilled in holding the child. When she was in the Gu Mansion, the eldest son Gu had not yet married, so naturally there was no child for Yuzhu to hold.

When they arrived at the Princess's Mansion, Huo Qionghua had no sons or daughters, so naturally there was no place for Yuzhu to practice.

Chunzhi thought of the baby in Yuzhu's belly when she left Linshui Town. She was about to ask Yuzhu about it when a maid ran over from a distance.

The maid stopped in front of Chunzhi and said with a smile, "Miss, the palace has sent something again."

Ever since Chunzhi moved back to the Mu Mansion, Huo Zheng couldn't visit her every day, so he sent someone to deliver things every day.

Chunzhi said, "Just bring it here."

The maidservant said, "The person who came to deliver the gift today is different. He is an extremely handsome young man..."

Chunzhi laughed and said, "She's so pretty, why don't you take anything from her?"

Yuzhu also laughed.

"No..." The maid blushed, "It was that young master who said that the prince told him to hand it to the girl personally. I, I didn't take it."

"Is that so?" Chunzhi said with a smile, "Then you can invite him over."

"Yes." The little maid replied with a red face and went to get the person.

Yuzhu returned with Xiaoxing in her arms and said to Chunzhi, "I wonder what the Prince of Chang'an has sent you again."

Chunzhi said, "Who knows?"

As the two were talking, the little maid came back with someone.

Yuzhu looked up and saw Gu Yuanjia, dressed in brocade and wearing a jade belt, walking slowly towards her. Her expression immediately changed and she hugged Xiaoxing and hid behind a tree.

Chunzhi's face changed slightly when she saw that the little maid was leading Gu Yuanjia over. Yuzhu dodged quickly, and she even blocked it by moving sideways.

Song Wan'er, who was playing shuttlecock with the maids, stopped when she saw someone coming. She led the maids to Chunzhi's side, "Yu..."

Song Wan'er was about to ask where Yuzhu and Xiaoxing had gone when Chunzhi interrupted her, "Wan'er, are you tired? Go sit down in the pavilion and have a rest, a cup of tea, and some snacks."

"But……"

Song Wan'er was a little surprised. Yuzhu was here just now, how could she disappear all of a sudden?

Chunzhi said, "Go quickly."

"Okay." Every time Song Wan'er wanted to ask where Yuzhu had gone, Chunzhi interrupted her and she turned and went to the pavilion.

Gu Yuanjia just happened to walk in front of Chunzhi at this time, bowed and said, "Miss Mu."

"So it's Master Gu." Chunzhi said, shielding Yuzhu from the blossoms behind the tree. "I wonder what Huo Zheng asked you to bring over?"

"It's a handwritten letter from the prince." Gu Yuanjia took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands. "The prince asked Miss Mu to read it and write him a letter in reply."

Chunzhi smiled and said, "Is this a small matter worthy of Master Gu making a personal trip?"

Gu Yuanjia said, "I came here to pay a visit to Master Mu, and delivering the letter to the young lady was just a passing moment."

As he spoke, his eyes were looking behind Chunzhi. The thick trunk of the tree blocked the view of a person, with lush branches and leaves, revealing only a corner of his clothes.

"Okay." Chunzhi was afraid that Gu Yuanjia would find Yuzhu, so she agreed immediately. "Mr. Gu, please go to my father's study first. I'll write a reply and send it to you."

Gu Yuanjia nodded and said, "Then I'll go over first."

Before he left, he took a look behind the tree.

Song Wan'er sat in the pavilion drinking tea and took in the whole scene.

Even though she had no idea what was going on, she knew that Yuzhu was avoiding Mr. Gu.

After the maid took Gu Yuanjia away, Chunzhi called out "Yuzhu", "He's gone, come out."

Yuzhu walked out from behind the tree holding Xiaoxing. Her face was pale and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Chunzhi quickly reached out and took the child from Yuzhu, and said in a gentle voice, "He has gone far away, don't be afraid."

Song Wan'er walked out of the pavilion and asked softly, "Sister Yuzhu, what happened? Who was that person just now?"

Chunzhi glanced at Song Wan'er, who immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Since her sister looked at her like that, she shouldn't have asked that question.

Song Wan'er immediately found an excuse and took all the maids away.

Only Chunzhi and Yuzhu are left here.

Chunzhi soothed her gently, "Yuzhu, you are the eldest princess's person now. Even Gu Yuanjia can't do anything to you. Besides, I am here with you. You don't have to be afraid of him."

"Sister..." Yuzhu looked up at Chunzhi, obviously hesitant to speak.
