Chapter 71 Li Mu
They walked into a field full of shepherd's purse. It was spring, and the shepherd's purse was delicious and grew all over the mountains and fields.
Su Zhenzhen looked at Rong Jinchen's all-round personal guard and said with a smile: "Chenchen, your personal guard is quite good. As expected, he is the personal guard of His Royal Highness Prince Yan. He is quite versatile."
She knew that Rong Jinchen was a jealous person, so she didn't praise the guard who had skillfully woven the basket, nor did she look at him.
The guard handed the basket to Gu Heng, didn't even look at Su Zhenzhen, and politely withdrew.
Just heard the future princess praise him, sweat beads appeared on his forehead, please let him go!
Su Zhenzhen took off the white fox cloak and handed it to Lu Wu. She had a graceful figure, a delicate and beautiful face, and her dark eyebrows raised slightly, "Chenchen, let's go." She stretched out her little hand and held his big hand.
Rong Jinchen looked at her sweet smile, his eyes slightly stunned, dazed for a moment, then reached out and held her hand.
Gu Heng whispered beside Gu Cheng: "Your Highness, why are you so disappointing!" The princess smiled at him and was stunned.
Gu Cheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "How dare you say this in front of His Highness?" He glanced casually at Bai Zhi and Lu Wu who were whispering to each other.
He choked, his handsome face with red lips and white teeth looking ageless. "I dare not." He walked over to the guard who knew how to weave baskets and said, "Your Highness should be able to dig up more wild vegetables. You can weave two more baskets."
The guard responded respectfully and motioned for another guard to join him.
Su Zhenzhen walked to the ridge of the field, squatted down, and picked shepherd's purse with her hands. There were so many shepherd's purse that they almost covered the ground.
As a foodie, how could she miss wild vegetables?
So it won’t be unrecognizable.
Rong Jinchen imitated her movements, squatted down a little awkwardly, dug up the shepherd's purse, and put it in the basket.
The two chatted while digging wild vegetables, and before they knew it, they had dug two baskets.
Su Zhenzhen's legs and feet were numb from squatting. Rong Jinchen looked up and saw a pair of lively rabbits. His eyes narrowed slightly and he was about to speak.
"Oh, Chenchen, it's rabbits." Su Zhenzhen saw a pair of big rabbits bumping into her. The big snow-white rabbits had a pair of crystal clear ruby-like eyes and shivered as they leaned against the edge of Su Zhenzhen's skirt.
Su Zhenzhen really didn't expect that the situation of waiting for something to happen to her would actually happen to her.
Rong Jinchen's bony hands pinched the necks of the two big, snow-white rabbits. "Zhenzhen, do you want to take good care of these big rabbits?" Su Zhenzhen's snow-white cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling with tears. She spat at him, "No, I want to eat roasted rabbits."
At this time, a child ran out from the woods next to him.
He was wearing a patched black short-sleeved shirt, his shoes showing his toes, and his face was dirty, but his eyes were surprisingly bright as he stared at the pair of big snow-white rabbits in Rong Jinchen's hands.
The guards noticed his movements almost instantly, but Gu Cheng had already subconsciously used his lightness skills and landed lightly on the tip of his toes beside Rong Jinchen and Su Zhenzhen.
He will not ignore anyone who appears around His Highness, and His Highness's safety is the most important thing.
Even if His Highness is more skilled than him, Gu Cheng will still be prepared to protect His Highness with his life.
Su Zhenzhen's eyes moved, and she saw a child not far away staring at them eagerly, or rather, staring at the big rabbit in Rong Jinchen's hand.
He looked to be about six or seven years old, thin and small, with his clothes tattered, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
The boy had bright black eyes and spoke to them in a seemingly nonchalant manner, "Sir, I accidentally let go of the rabbit in your hand. Can you give it back to me?" He held his little hands tightly behind his back and spoke with his lips pursed.
Rong Jinchen ignored him. Instead, Su Zhenzhen glanced at Gu Cheng and then said to the boy, "But this is the rabbit that bumped into me. How can I give it to you now that it's in my hands?"
His eyes were lost, and he knew that he was forcing others to do something. He said with pain: "Then consider it as a gift to the two nobles. I see that the way this gentleman looks at the fairy sister is exactly the same as the way my father looks at my mother, so I'll give it to you." He resisted the urge to look at the big white rabbit in Rong Jinchen's hand.
Gu Cheng showed a surprised expression. This kid is so promising.
He is so good at flattery without any instruction, it is worth learning from him.
Rong Jinchen didn't care about the loopholes in his words. He handed the pair of big rabbits to Gu Cheng next to him in a good mood.
Gu Cheng took it and handed it to the child, "What's your name?" He also gave him a small ingot.
The boy's eyes sparkled. "My name is Li Mu." He glanced at Su Zhenzhen and said, "Fairy sister, is this a gift from you and your fairy brother-in-law?"
Su Zhenzhen was stunned when she heard this. Why is this child so not shy?
Rong Jinchen was in a good mood and whispered, "Yes."
He smiled and said in a clear voice, "Thank you, Fairy Sister and Fairy Brother-in-law. I wish you a happy marriage, eternal love, long life together, and a son soon."
Su Zhenzhen was really surprised this time. She looked at his slightly tattered clothes and his dirty face. How did his parents raise this child?
She asked curiously, "Li Mu, who taught you these words?" Li Mu smiled, his voice still a little sweet and sticky with a baby voice, "Of course it was my father. He always said that he wanted to be in a happy marriage with my mother and grow old together."
He felt a little sad, "But my mother was sick, so I secretly ran up the mountain to catch rabbits to nourish her body."
He also knew that what he had done just now was wrong, and he hadn't caught the rabbit. Thinking that the noble man would not mind this worthless rabbit, he bravely wanted to try to see if he could get one back.
Unexpectedly, there was still a small ingot worth five taels. His mother could go to the capital to hire a better doctor to see a doctor.
Before Su Zhenzhen spoke, Rong Jinchen behaved out of character, perhaps because he was pleased by the phrase "fairy brother-in-law".
He whispered: "Where are your parents?" This kid looks quite pleasing to the eye, and his parents taught him well.
Li Mu was hit on the head by the pie falling from the sky, his eyes were red, and he held the rabbit and the small ingot tightly in his hands.
"Fairy brother-in-law, are you and Fairy sister going to help me find a doctor to treat my mother?" He couldn't help but think that the doctor invited by the noble man must be different from the one his father invited, and his medical skills must be better.
When Su Zhenzhen saw Rong Jinchen nodded, she immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Li Mu." She gave Gu Heng a look.
Gu Heng is so beautiful that he is about to burst into bubbles. The princess subconsciously chose him instead of Gu Cheng. Does this prove that the princess values him more?
He immediately turned around and found a personal guard and asked him to go into the city to call a doctor.
Li Mu's home was in Huangzhuang, not too far from here. He was riding a horse in the arms of a personal guard, holding a rabbit and a small ingot in his hands, his eyes bright as stars.
The wild vegetables dug by Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen were naturally carefully covered with cloth and held in their arms to prevent them from spilling.
This is the filial piety that His Royal Highness and the Princess want to give to Your Majesty.
