Shangguan Wan Ning's face also turned red. She suddenly remembered some things from her previous life and couldn't help but shudder.
She looked at Mu Jingyan carefully, feeling very uneasy and asked tentatively: "Jing Yan, do you like His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Mu Jingyan was hesitating about what to say, but she didn't expect Shangguan Wan Ning to tell her the truth, which made her at a loss what to do.
"No...where is it..."
Shangguan Wan Ning is also a woman, not to mention she has the experience and memories of two lifetimes. How could she not see through Mu Jingyan's thoughts?
Since returning to the customs, Mu Jingyan has been distracted all day long, either in a daze or giggling. He is clearly a girl in love with her spring.
"It's better if you don't." Shangguan Wan Ning held Mu Jingyan's hand and persuaded her meaningfully, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people. In the future, he will inherit the throne. He is destined to be more than just one in his life.
Love someone. If you really fall in love with such a man...I'm afraid you will be exhausted physically and mentally."
Mu Jingyan was startled.
Shangguan Wan Ning's words were like a wake-up call, which made her a little annoyed as she was immersed in sweet fantasy.
"My brother will definitely become famous in the future, so aren't you afraid of his three wives and four concubines?"
Shangguan Wan Ning really didn't worry about this issue.
In the last life, she was sent to Mu Jingrui as a concubine and stayed with him for three years. During this period, more than once, ministers proposed marriage to him and wanted to marry a daughter from a famous family to him, but he firmly refused.
.
Shangguan Wan Ning didn't understand it before, but looking back now, it was because he wanted to retain his unique love for her.
"Forget it," Mu Jingyan's mood became very low, "I know who I am, and I am not worthy of His Highness at all. You don't need to say more."
Mu Jingyan finally admitted his feelings for Xiao Yujue.
Shangguan Wan Ning thought about a few words of persuasion, but found that she had nothing to say, so she had to give up.
A month later, good news came from the front: Mu Jingrui had broken through the capital of Goshawk Kingdom and killed the king of Goshawk Kingdom and many royal nobles.
He did not harm innocent people, and the remaining courtiers of the Goshawk Kingdom were willing to surrender to the Central Plains. From then on, they became a state capital on the border of the Central Plains, not a country.
The news quickly spread back to the capital. When the emperor learned about it, Long Yan was overjoyed. He immediately issued a decree to reward Mu Jingrui and ordered him to return to the court immediately with Xiao Yujue's squadron.
The snowstorm in the northwest region has passed and order is gradually restored.
During the disaster relief period, Xiao Yujue used almost all his family property to buy rice, noodles and quilts. He worked closely with Zhang Yide, and the two developed a special tacit understanding.
Mu Jingrui led his troops back to the pass, and was greeted by the people along the way.
Being able to destroy a country within four months, his reputation began to spread among the people.
"Jing Rui, it's been a hard journey."
Xiao Yujue personally led his troops to greet him outside the city. He was glad that he had made his choice.
At night, a celebration banquet was held in the government office of the state government to welcome Mu Jingrui and all the generals.
Xiao Yujue received an urgent official document from the capital that was eight hundred miles away, so he had no choice but to leave the meeting early.
After he left, everyone still exchanged cups and drank wine among each other.
Mu Jingrui was a little uneasy, and his mind had already drifted to nowhere. At this moment, what he wanted to see the most...
Shangguan Wan Ning's figure appeared in his mind, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
The generals who followed Mu Jingrui had almost never seen him smile. Now they noticed that he was looking thoughtfully at the dancing girl, and felt that he had understood it.
Men, after all, can't escape drinking, sex, and wealth.
He winked at the prefect.
The prefect nodded knowingly.
Being able to win over Mu Jingrui with just a dancing girl is a dream for the prefect.
After the banquet dispersed, Mu Jingrui was a little tipsy. The waiter helped him back to the room, fetched him water to wash himself, and then left.
Mu Jingrui was about to undress and go to bed when the door of the room was gently pushed open.
A graceful and graceful woman with a delicate face walked in, bowed and saluted.
"General Mu, the prefect has asked your servant to serve you."
Mu Jingrui understood instantly and said coldly: "No, you can go back."
The woman raised her head, with tears already shining in her eyes. "Does General Mu think that the slave is not gentle enough? If we go back like this, the prefect will beat the slave to death."
Mu Jingrui was a little irritated. He didn't have the patience to coax a woman he didn't know.
He stood up, grabbed the woman's arm, and impatiently tried to push her out.
Unexpectedly, the woman took advantage of the situation and fell into his arms. She exhaled like blue and lightly traced his chest with her fingers.
"General Mu, this slave is here tonight...only the prefect and the slave know about it, and it will definitely not affect your reputation..."
The woman's soft, boneless hands climbed up to Mu Jingrui's neck, which made him frown.
"If General Mu really wants to enjoy tenderness, is he... so impatient that he doesn't even have time to close the door? Do you need a little girl to do it for you?"
The familiar voice came, which surprised and delighted Mu Jingrui.
He pushed the woman away and saw Shangguan Wan Ning standing outside the door holding a food box.
Mu Jingrui's face darkened and he scolded the woman, "Why don't you get out of here?"
When the woman saw that Mu Jingrui didn't seem to want to refuse, she looked at his cold face again and couldn't help but shudder. She straightened her long hair in embarrassment and ran away from the door.
"Ning'er, just now..."
"Are you trying to say again that what I saw is different from what you want to do?" Shangguan Wan Ning's tone was filled with anger.
This was the second time she saw Mu Jingrui flirting with another woman.
"Actually... it's really not the same thing." Mu Jingrui walked over and wanted to pull Shangguan Wan Ning into the room.
Shangguan Wan Ning took a few steps back and hung the food box on Mu Jingrui's wrist.
"Whether it is or not, I'm not interested in knowing."
In fact, Shangguan Wan Ning also knew in her heart that Mu Jingrui was not the kind of person who missed flowers. Most likely, this dancer was sent by the officials below to curry favor with him.
"I guess you will drink a few more glasses tonight. Here, I'll make you some hangover soup. After you drink it, go to bed. If you have anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Mu Jingrui's heart felt warm.
By the dim candlelight in the corridor, he looked at Shangguan Wan Ning carefully.
After not seeing her for a few months, her complexion has improved a lot. Under the moonlight, she looks like a fairy descending from the earth, as beautiful and refined as she is.
His chest felt hot and he felt a little distraught. He couldn't help but hold Shangguan Wan Ning's hand.
Shangguan Wan Ning struggled for a moment, but failed to pull her hand back. She scolded coquettishly: "What are you going to do?"
"I didn't want to do anything, I just... wanted to take a good look at you."
Mu Jingrui felt that now he finally had the confidence to propose marriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion again.
