Chapter 15 Heart (2)

"Since that's the case, I won't force you to force you!" Mu Hui was a somewhat arrogant woman after all. When she heard that I was determined not to accept her, she said a little resentful and stopped forcing me.

I finally felt relieved. I wonder if it was because Mu Hui was a woman. I looked at her apologetically and said softly: "Miss Mu, you don't have to be discouraged. I saw your flute skills that day, well... In fact, your skills have entered the realm of level. As long as you practice diligently, you will definitely be able to see the ultimate realm of flute skills in the future!" I was telling the truth. Speaking of which, Mu Hui's flute skills may be even more skillful than me, and her future achievements are indeed limitless.

When Mu Hui heard my praise, she looked happy on her face. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Young Master Zhu, can you play another song for me?"

"Play another song?" I saw the expectation on her face, and my heart immediately softened and agreed, "Okay, I'll play a song for the lady!" As I said that, I raised the flute to my mouth, and the faint sound of the flute slowly floated out with my breath.

I don’t know if it was because after a conversation, my heart knot for Mu Hui had been completely untied, so I no longer had the previous neglect when I was blowing. The sound of the flute also describes the leisurely and quiet scenery under the autumn moon: the moon is as bright as frost, the breeze is as clear as water. Under the moonlight, you and I walk hand in hand. Under the moonlight, you and I stare at each other, and under the moonlight, you and I communicate with each other...

This song called "Autumn Moon" is gentle and entangled. When I played it, I was intoxicated by the transcendent artistic conception. Unconsciously, all the internal force in my body penetrated into it. The sound of the flute spreads from afar. It can be heard in the quiet night, probably the entire purple gold mountain.

I don’t know how long it took, although I had already finished playing this song, but I was still standing there in a daze and couldn’t come back to my senses for a long time.

"You, you're so good at playing!"

Mu Hui's faint words woke me up from the artistic conception of the song. I looked at her and saw her eyes shining at me, and seemed to be very moved by my song.

The two of them returned silently along the same road. As soon as they approached the gate of the academy, they saw many people gathered in front of the gate and looked towards us from a distance. When they approached, I saw Li Ziru and the other three, as well as Yang Shangsi, an academician of the academy. Looking at their appearance, I didn’t know what they were gathering for.

Everyone noticed the appearance of Mu Hui and I, and then they all stopped their eyes on the flute in Mu Hui's hand. After a while, Academician Yang asked Mu Hui: "You played the song just now?"

Mu Hui shook her head gently, pointed at me and said, "The song just now was played by Mr. Zhu!" When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to me, full of surprise and admiration.

Yang Shangsi looked at me, nodded and said, "Seventeen, I didn't expect you to be able to play such a song. You are such an all-rounder, all-rounder!" When I spoke, I could hear the sincere appreciation in his words.

He looked at Mu Hui and me thoughtfully, and Yang Shangsi suddenly asked strangely, "Why are you together?" It's okay if he didn't ask this sentence. As soon as he asked this sentence, Mu Hui and I immediately seemed embarrassed. The eyes that everyone had cast on me before changed, and immediately became envious and jealous again.

"I..." I noticed the blush on Mu Hui's face and waved my hand to explain, but at this time there was something to explain. The matter fell into the eyes of those who were good at it. It was clear that Mu Hui and I were alone and widowed to steal the moon, and we played the flute to communicate with each other. It was really hard to explain the unbearableness... So, I was stammering and couldn't speak, which made people even more suspicious.

Mu Hui probably couldn't resist the burning eyes of everyone, and said goodbye to Yang Shangsi in a low voice, and immediately ran in a hurry toward the direction of the Lady Hall... The moment she ran away, I suddenly saw the five girls I had seen in the mountains that day were also among the crowd. They looked at me and followed Mu Hui. Among them, Li Lingling even smiled at me with some meaning, which made me feel so embarrassed.

Although the incident was "unstoppable and unsuspecting", my reputation in Yingtian Academy was "at the peak of the sky", and there were both good names and infamous names. The reputation means that I not only learned people, but also played a good flute. The reputation means that I am actually a prodigal son who likes to seek flowers and ask for help. I also say that I am actually a poor guy, and for the sake of power, I specifically attack those rich and powerful women in my family...

No matter how outsiders say it, I don’t care. But in the mouths of Li Ziru and the other three, I really became a complete laugh. They would joke with me a few times a day. Li Ziru even said that he would report this to his parents truthfully, that is, my godfather and godmother knew that they would ask them to propose marriage to the Mu family for me.

In such jokes, Li Ziru and the others really found out the details of Mu Hui's family for me, but after they found out, they no longer dared to laugh at me, because Mu Hui is the youngest daughter of Mu Ying, the king of Yunqian, and she is really a person who can't be laughed at.

Speaking of which, Mu Ying was adopted by the emperor's grandfather since childhood. He was the adopted son recognized by the emperor's grandfather. Because Mu Ying made many outstanding achievements under the emperor's grandfather, he was named King Yunqian and guarded the border of Yunnan and Guizhou. Therefore, among the generals of foreign surnames, the person who the emperor's grandfather trusted the most was King Yunqian Mu Ying.

No matter what my reputation is or who Mu Hui is, the rumors and rumors between me and her have reached a point in Yingtian Academy that everyone knows. Therefore, in many days that followed, I didn't even dare to approach the ladies' hall within a hundred steps, so as not to make people suspect that I wanted to go in and steal jade and incense. With my efforts to endure things, it seemed that there was a little down, but unexpectedly, I encountered something that caused me a huge headache.

On that day, I was about to walk around the capital from leaving the academy, but I didn't expect that the gate of the academy was not far away when I suddenly heard a very quiet voice calling me: "Zhu... Master Zhu..."

I also heard the familiarity of the sound, and quickly turned around and saw that behind a big tree on the side of the road, the tall Chang Huaiyu was waving to me with a little shyness.

"Why did she look for me?" I was surprised, "If Li Lingling and Mu Hui were looking for me to calculate the problem and Xiao Yi, wouldn't she want to compete with me with arrows?" But after thinking about it, since the daughter's family took the initiative to greet me, I didn't want to ignore it, so I had to check whether there were anyone else, and then walked forward carefully.

When I came to Chang Huaiyu, I secretly noticed the quiet woman and asked politely: "Miss Chang... Miss Chang, don't know what advice?"

Before Chang Huaiyu could speak, her face turned slightly red and she said, "Young Master Zhu, actually... I actually have something for the little girl, I want to... I want to ask you!" As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, as if she wanted to test my ears. In the end, it was no different from a mosquito scream.

"Please me?" I was surprised again. I really didn't know what she had to ask me for, so I said, "I don't know if the lady wants me to help me if she has something to do, just say it."

Chang Huaiyu probably saw that I was very happy to meet, and the panic that had been hanging on her face slowly dissipated. After thinking about it, he said, "I saw that the young master was superb in archery skills before, and I think that the young master must be not low in his skills, so I wanted the young master to do me a favor."

I have also seen Chang Huaiyu's archery technique and knew that she was not an ordinary woman. I didn't hide it from the impulse that day. Maybe she saw that my actions were extraordinary. At this time, even if I didn't want to admit that I knew martial arts, I was afraid that I could not hide it from the eyes of experts like her. Therefore, after a humble sentence, I could only continue to listen to her tell me what kind of help I want.

Chang Huaiyu said again: "Recently, my grandfather and my parents prepared a marriage for me, saying that they wanted me to get married soon. To be honest, I had a big fight with my grandfather and my parents for this matter that day. Later, I was forced to no avail by them, and finally told a lie..."

"Lie? What lie?" I looked at Chang Huaiyu's miserable expression when he spoke, and knew that she must have been forced to no avail by her grandfather and parents at that time. I couldn't help feeling pity in my heart.

Chang Huaiyu lowered her head with a little embarrassed expression and then said, "I told my grandfather and my parents that I already have a man I like, and his literary talent and martial arts are one of the rare strange men in this world."

After hearing Chang Huaiyu's remarks, although I knew that she would not really have a man she liked, I couldn't help but guess that she had really fantasized about having a "literary talent and martial arts" and "a rare strange man in the world" as her sweetheart... "Well, wait, did she let me..." A ridiculous thought suddenly appeared in my heart, and then looked at Chang Huaiyu with some horror.

Chang Huaiyu didn't notice my strangeness, and continued, "My grandfather and my parents finally agreed to me after hearing what I said, asking me to take the man home for them to see, saying that if the man was really as excellent as I said, he would turn off the proposal of the family and he would no longer force me to get married so soon."

When I heard Chang Huaiyu finish her words, I had already guessed what she meant. I couldn't help but confirm: "Then... I wonder how the lady wants me to give birth to you?"

Chang Huaiyu's fair face turned red again and she whispered: "I...I think the young master can help me... with me to the house and let my grandpa and my parents see!"

"Me?" I immediately felt a little dry when I heard this. I thought about it and said a little strangely: "Why me?"

Chang Huaiyu glanced at me, as if she thought I was teasing her, but when she saw the shock on my face, she replied, "My grandfather likes people with superb martial arts the most, and among the young men I know, you have the best martial arts skills, so..."

Speaking of this, I fully understood what Chang Huaiyu meant, but after pondering for a while, I asked again: "But if I take it seriously and let your elders marry you, what should I do?"

Chang Huaiyu's face turned red again, and after thinking about it, "If that's the case, please ask the young master to say that he has been busy with the imperial examination for several months in the past. When he is on the Golden List in the future, he will talk about getting married and starting a career."

"You think carefully." I thought about Chang Huaiyu for a moment, and I thought her method was quite feasible, but I couldn't decide for a while. I just felt that no matter how I thought about it, it was ridiculous.

When Chang Huaiyu saw my expression, he probably saw my hesitation. A look of sadness and sadness suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "Young Master Zhu, if you don't help me this time, I'd better die." After a slight pause, she said, "Young Master Zhu may not know that the person who came to my house to propose marriage is a playboy. I heard that he always wanders around Huajie and Liuxiang, but my grandfather and my parents don't know!"

After hearing what she said, my heart softened even more. After thinking for a while, I finally gritted my teeth and agreed: "Okay, Miss Chang, I will help you this time!"

"Take it serious?" Chang Huaiyu's face suddenly showed a look of surprise when he heard my agreement.

I nodded and said, "But if something really hurts the lady's reputation in the future, please don't blame me."

"I thank you for not having time, why would you blame you?" Chang Huaiyu probably finally let go of her worries for a long time. A beautiful smile immediately appeared on her gentle face, which made me look at her at such a close distance and couldn't help but feel a swaying in my heart.

After thinking for a while, Chang Huaiyu said to me again: "Young Master Zhu, this... this time, don't tell girls Mu Hui."

"How could I tell her?" Seeing the sarcasm on Chang Huaiyu's face, I waved my hand and explained: "Miss Mu and I are really innocent, and we have no love for each other!"

Chang Huaiyu probably saw my eagerness to defend herself and smiled "puffed" and said, "Young Master Zhu, you think so, but I'm afraid that they don't think so!"

"What does it mean?" I was slightly surprised. Looking at her with a terrifying look, I didn't know what to say.

Chang Huaiyu looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. If you have something to do, just go first. I just hope that the young master will come to Kaiping Palace tomorrow morning."

"Kaiping Prince's Mansion?" My face changed and I asked hurriedly: "I don't know what the old prince Chang and the lady of Kaiping Prince gave birth to the title?"

When Chang Huaiyu saw me, he smiled slightly and said, "My grandfather's name is Yuchun, which is the current Prince Kaiping."

"King Kaiping King Chang Yuchun?" I was a little dumbfounded. It would be fine if I said that other princes didn't know. When my grandfather founded the country, in addition to his sons, he also had three princes with other surnames. This one was Chuyang King Xu Da, the second was Kaiping King Chang Yuchun, and the third was Yunqian King Muying. All three of them were named kings because of their outstanding military achievements.

"I didn't expect that she was the granddaughter of King Kaiping..." I was thinking that there seemed to be something wrong in my heart. Chang Huaiyu bowed to me and said goodbye: "Young Master Zhu, the little girl is the first. Remember not to talk about what happened today."

I nodded foolishly. When Chang Huaiyu walked away, I suddenly remembered what was wrong. I couldn't help but stamp my feet and sighed: "She... is really harmful. After agreeing to her, didn't she jump into the fire pit myself?"

You should know that Kaiping King Chang Yuchun is no more than an ordinary person. Not to mention that my identity is an ordinary person at this time, even if I restore the identity of a prince in the future, if I go to his palace to make a promise to marry Chang Huaiyu in the future, I am afraid I will still be unable to avoid it in the end. Isn’t this jumping into the fire pit?

I walked to the city with troubles in my heart. I had thought that I would go around the capital alone to check and stroll around. I didn't expect that I would cause such troubles, so You Xing in my heart couldn't help but be defeated. I walked aimlessly on the street. More than once in my heart, I secretly advised myself not to go to Kaiping Palace for this trip tomorrow, but then I thought of a man who could not speak so untrustworthy. Since he had agreed to Chang Huaiyu, he could not break the appointment, so he began to constantly think about how to deal with it tomorrow.

When a street came to an end, I saw a stall selling duck blood soup on the side of the road. The stall was full of people. It seemed that it was very popular, so I found an empty seat to sit down with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

I just sat down and ordered a bowl of duck blood soup. I was eating the people who had settled the bill and left. In a blink of an eye, two more sat down at my table.

I looked up at the two men and saw that one of them was about seventeen or eighteen years old, while the other was only thirteen or fourteen years old. They were all dressed like Confucian scholars and looked extremely handsome. Just after taking a look like this, I suddenly felt that they seemed familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere before, and I couldn't help but look at them with a little more eyes.

"It's you?" Before I could react, the smaller person on the other side had already exclaimed himself, and it seemed that he knew me.

Hearing this delicate cry, my heart suddenly broke out and finally recognized the two "brothers" who were present. It turned out that they met the second of the five girls, Xu Yuanchun and Liu Rucui in the mountains.

"How come they are here?" I glanced at them again in surprise, "How could they dress like this?" It was really funny. They actually dressed up as men and went shopping. If it weren't for the fact that I had a deep impression of them before, I was afraid I wouldn't recognize them at this time.

"It's really a place where we meet!" I sighed secretly, smiled quickly, and greeted: "I've seen two young masters!"

Xu Yuanchun and Liu Rucui recognized me. After hearing my flowers, they felt a little shy about their dressing up. Their faces turned slightly red and they bowed to me.
