Chapter 552: Whatever she said, I, the Crown Princess, will have to bear the consequences.
Xing Xing subconsciously looked at Mu Rujun.
Mu Rujun had no strange expression and even smiled slightly: "So that's how it is. Miss Pang is really hardworking."
He doesn't look like he takes it to heart.
Prime Minister Pang bowed to Mu Rujun with a righteous look and said, "However, since we happened to meet the Crown Princess, I, as an old minister, have a few unpleasant things to say."
Mu Rujun smiled and raised her hand: "Eh? Since Prime Minister Pang also knows that it is unpleasant to hear, there is no need to say more."
Pang Xiang was choked by Mu Rujun, and his old face took a long time to recover.
But Prime Minister Pang's youngest daughter, Pang Xinyue, knelt down before Mu Rujun and said softly, "Please forgive me, Crown Princess. My father is old now, and sometimes he gets stubborn, and we, his children, can't persuade him."
Mu Rujun looked at Pang Xinyue with interest: "Miss Pang, what you mean is that even if I don't let your father say it, your father will definitely say it? ...Are you trying to make up for your father?"
Pang Xinyue lowered her head: "That's not what I meant."
But Prime Minister Pang said, "My Lady Crown Princess, please stop making things difficult for my daughter. She has lived in seclusion for a long time and has a simple personality. She doesn't mean what she says."
Mu Rujun smiled and said leisurely, "Prime Minister Pang, the relationship between you two is quite interesting. The daughter makes amends for the father, and the father makes amends for the daughter in return. Prime Minister Pang is an old minister of this dynasty, and he gives honest advice, so this Crown Princess will naturally not say anything. As for Miss Pang... Prime Minister Pang emphasized that his daughter is simple-minded and doesn't mean what she says, which means that this Crown Princess has to bear the brunt of whatever she says."
Pang Xiang's expression changed slightly.
Pang Xinyue immediately knelt down, her slender white neck drooping in the sun, looking respectful and humble: "Xinyue dare not."
Mu Rujun held Xingxing's hand and said, "Since you don't dare, then Prime Minister Pang and Miss Pang, please don't say anything more. It's really boring."
After saying that, Mu Rujun took Xingxing and walked away leisurely.
When they were alone, Mu Rujun let go of Xingxing's hand and asked her with a smile, "Do you think I was too unkind just now?"
Xing Xing shook her head seriously: "That Lord Pang and Miss Pang clearly want to embarrass the Crown Princess. Others are trying to embarrass us, why should we still consider them?"
Mu Rujun looked at Xingxing steadily, then smiled suddenly, raised his hand and touched Xingxing's hair.
The little girl's hair was soft, and the sunlight shining on her hair brought a little warmth.
At this moment, the little girl looked like a fairy with a warm halo.
Mu Rujun couldn't help but slow down her voice and smiled: "Xiang Jun, I like you very much. Can I call you Xing Xing in the future?"
Xing Xing nodded: "Okay, okay, I like the Crown Princess too, I'll call her in the future..."
Xing Xing paused and called out tentatively, "Sister?"
Mu Rujun seemed extremely happy and responded with a “Yeah!”
She smiled and said, "My nickname is Rujun, you can call me Sister Rujun."
Xing Xing called out happily: "Sister Rujun!"
Mu Rujun became more and more happy, smiling, and took Xingxing directly to her own private store of the Crown Princess: "Sister will take you to choose jewelry."
She opened her private storehouse and asked the palace maids to open the boxes containing the jewelry, and then she took out the jewelry one by one for Xingxing to try on.
"Yeah, Xingxing looks good in this."
"Xingxing would also look good in this."
“This one is good too.”
The more Mu Rujun let Xingxing try on jewelry, the more addicted she became. Soon, she thought that the beautiful jewelry Xingxing wore filled up an entire tray.
Xing Xing felt her scalp tingling when she saw all those expensive jewellery, and she quickly stopped them: "...Sister Rujun, I only have one head, I can't wear so many jewellery, my family has bought me enough jewellery."
She carefully selected the one she liked the most and said, "Sister Rujun, please give this to me. Thank you, sister."
The more Mu Rujun gets along with Xingxing, the more she likes her.
She thought about it for a moment. It was Xing Xing's first time to enter the East Palace. It would not be good if she showed too much appreciation. Mu Rujun nodded and said, "Okay."
However, having said that, Mu Rujun still put away the dozen or so pieces of jewelry that she had just let Xingxing try on, planning to give them all to Xingxing when she finds a suitable opportunity in the future.
Turning around, Mu Rujun saw a few pieces of peach blossom brocade and smiled: "This is a tribute from Southern Shu, but I am old and I don't like such delicate colors. It would be a waste to keep it here. I will have someone send it to your house later."
Xingxing couldn't refuse again, so she agreed.
Turning around, Mu Rujun saw the new blood swallows that were offered as tribute this year, and laughed again: "I don't usually like to eat this top-quality blood swallows, and there are too many of them here. It would be a waste to leave them alone. I'll have someone bring some to you later."
Xing Xing: “…”
Seeing that Mu Rujun was very excited and wanted to give her something, Xingxing hurried forward and hugged Mu Rujun: "That's enough, Sister Rujun, it's really enough, don't give me any more."
It looks like they are planning to clear out the East Palace!
Mu Rujun still had some hesitation, but when he saw Xingxing firmly waving her hands to refuse, he thought that he must not scare Xingxing, so he stopped.
Even so, when Xingxing left the East Palace, there were still several cars full of things behind her.
Xing Xing: “…”
Mu Rujun smiled and said, "Xingxing is worth it."
Xing Xing went forward and hugged Mu Rujun, and said seriously: "Sister Rujun will definitely get what she wants!"
Mu Rujun felt warm in his heart and patted Xing Xing's arm: "I wish you good luck."
When Nie Luming and Nie Yuke came out of the East Palace, they happened to see Mu Rujun personally seeing Xingxing off. Looking at the two people's intimate backs, Nie Yuke's face instantly darkened.
Nie Luming didn't notice anything and was still cheerful: "Hey, it seems that the Crown Princess and Lord Fusui have a good relationship... Well, should I go forward and remind Lord Fusui to help me test and adjust the bow and arrow?"
Nie Luming talked to himself.
Nie Yuke looked coldly at her silly brother, turned around and left without saying a word.
"...Speaking of which, Fukusui Xiangjun is the best archery girl I have ever seen. I wonder how she has mastered it at such a young age, right, fourth sister? ... fourth sister?"
Nie Luming turned around and found that Nie Yuke had left. He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after them.
When Wei Shiqing finished his work and went to look for Mu Rujun, he found her humming a song while carefully lubricating a whip she had used before.
Wei Shiqing smiled and sat over: "Rujun, you are in such a good mood? It seems that Fusui Xiangjun is very popular with you."
Mu Rujun made no secret: "Xingxing is very cute, I like her very much. If she and Ayan can't be together in the future, then I will treat her as my sister, and all my things will be hers in the future."
