Chapter 104 New Year's Gift

The carriage drove slowly to the gate of Pingnan Hou Mansion. Yuan Yi supported Mu Shiyu and walked into the gate step by step.

Mu Chenghe was sitting in the main hall, waiting anxiously.

When he saw Mu Shiyu walking up to him smoothly, he was about to salute and say hello.

"Yuan Yi, after a long journey, please help the young lady go back to her room to rest." Mu Chenghe said kindly.

"Thank you, father." Mu Shiyu was blessed. She was still injured in her stomach, so she really couldn't make a big salute.

The first thing Mu Shiyu did when she returned to Yuyiyuan was, "Yuan Yi, make me some tea!"

What I didn't expect was, "Miss, the prince specifically told me that you can't drink tea until you recover from your injury!"

Mu Shiyu didn't expect that even though she was far away from Lin Junrong and Ye Si, she still couldn't drink and looked mournful. "I know!"

"By the way, Yuan Yi, go to Jilefang to see if there is any news." Mu Shiyu ordered.

Yuan Yi retreated obediently, but Yuan Ru watched her closely no matter what Mu Shiyu ordered her to do.

"Miss, please don't bother trying to get us away. King Li said you can't drink until you are healed!" Yuan Ru said seriously and solemnly.

Mu Shiyu sighed helplessly, "I know, if you don't want to drink, I won't drink!"

The news of Mu Shiyu's return to Beijing spread quickly, and everyone was praising her.

She was said to be pious, so the Buddha protected her and King Li won a great victory.

As the days passed, Mu Shiyu's injuries healed. Ye Si's medicine was very effective and there really was no scar.

The melted snow dripped down the eaves, and the ticking sound was particularly beautiful.

Mu Shiyu looked at the melting snow, and the strings under her fingers were no longer playing.

The New Year is coming soon, but the emperor has not yet issued an order for Lin Junrong to return to Beijing, and I don’t know what he is planning.

The southern Xinjiang side is basically under control. However, Lin Junrong is still in the northern border and cannot directly take it in with great fanfare.

"Second sister." Mu Shiyu was in a daze, but her thoughts were interrupted by Mu Qingqing's call.

"Third sister, why are you here?" Mu Shiyu asked in surprise.

"Second sister has been away for a long time and has not returned. I think you are thinking hard. A few days ago, my father said that you were living in poverty in the temple and had to be raised for a while, so I never dared to disturb second sister." Mu Qingqing said cautiously.

Talking.

"Oh, oh." Mu Shiyu quickly came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly, "It's not too poor. It's because my father is too nervous."

"Second sister, His Highness King Li has made great achievements, will he marry you into the palace when he comes back?" Mu Qingqing asked, her eyes changed when she mentioned the word King Li.

"The imperial edict states that Prince Li can only marry me after I get married." Mu Shiyu explained.

"That means Prince Li won't be back this year?" Mu Qingqing asked immediately.

"I don't know about this. After all, whether King Li is in the north or returning to Beijing, everything depends on the emperor's will." Mu Shiyu was a little strange, why did Mu Qingqing keep asking about Lin Junrong today?

But the next sentence dispelled her suspicion, "Well, the second sister still has to wait for a long time. It is obvious that the second sister and Prince Li are so loving, why is the emperor unwilling to let you get married as soon as possible."

Mu Qingqing looked worried and sad, but she didn't expect that she was worried about herself and Lin Junrong.

"It's okay, my relationship with King Li will not fade with time." Mu Shiyu answered her questions.

"Furthermore, the emperor's will is unpredictable. He asked us to get married after Ji Chun. He probably wants Prince Li to experience more and become more mature."

Listening to Mu Shiyu's explanation, Mu Qingqing lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Second sister, then you can continue practicing and I won't disturb you anymore."

"The snow has melted and the road is slippery. Be careful when you go back." Mu Shiyu explained with concern.

"Thank you, second sister, for caring."

Mu Qingqing left, and the courtyard became quiet again.

Looking at Mu Qingqing's increasingly tense back, Mu Shiyu felt that it was time to ask her father to help her find a marriage that was suitable for her.

The emperor finally issued an order for King Li to return to the capital on Qingming Festival. Therefore, he cannot make it in time for the Chinese New Year.

On New Year's Eve, Mu Chenghe, Mu Shiyu, Mu Qingqing and Mu Yangshuo gathered around the table to have New Year's Eve dinner.

Mu Chenghe prepared red envelopes and handed them to them one by one, "Before you were born, you were all children. You have to worry about it today, so you have to keep it!"

Mu Shiyu originally wanted to refuse, because she was probably the richest one in the family. However, since her father said so, she had no choice but to accept it.

"Master Marquis, Prince Li's Mansion sent several gifts." The butler came from outside to inform.

"Come in." Mu Chenghe agreed.

Butler Qi from Prince Li's Mansion came in with a bunch of things. "Join the Marquis."

"No need to be polite," Mu Chenghe said.

Butler Qi waved his hand and brought the gifts to everyone, "This is Lord Pingnan, this is the third lady, and this is the young master."

After the introduction, there was no Mu Shiyu.

Just when Mu Chenghe was about to get angry, Butler Qi said again, "Second Miss, your gift is in the yard. I really can't carry it into the house. Please move."

After hearing this, Mu Shiyu stood up, wondering what good things Lin Junrong had collected.

Others also followed him to the yard out of curiosity.

The yard was empty, there was nothing. Unexpectedly, Butler Qi pointed to the sky and said, "Second Miss, please look!"

After bursts of sound, fireworks bloomed all over the sky, like chrysanthemums blooming, like colorful strips flying, like silver dust flying. They are gorgeous, in various shapes, and colorful.

"Wow, that one looks good!"

"Second sister, that one is beautiful too!"

The light of the fireworks illuminated Mu Shiyu's face, and she showed a happy smile.

A fireworks feast lasted for half an hour before it ended.

"Please also ask Butler Qi to tell Prince Li that I like it very much." Mu Shiyu said with a smile, with tenderness in her eyes.

"As long as the second lady likes it. The prince said that these are just to make you smile. After all, you are not short of money, you just lack a prince by your side." These words made Butler Qi blush.

However, the prince has repeatedly warned and urged Mu Shiyu to listen.

Mu Shiyu's face turned red when she heard this. She knew that he had not made a formal appearance. His father and younger siblings were all here at the moment, so he had not yet made a formal appearance.

"The prince atones for his sins, and the second lady atones for her sins. These words were ordered by the prince and I must say them." Butler Qi saw that several people were silent and explained quickly.

Mu Shiyu blushed with embarrassment and didn't know what to say. Mu Chenghe quickly answered, "It's okay. Shi Yu has also received the prince's wishes."

Butler Qi clapped his hands again, and another group of people walked into the courtyard carrying several boxes.

"Second Miss, the prince said that if you smile, I will give him the money in the box and buy him a jade pendant." Butler Qi said.

Mu Shiyu smiled angrily, "Where did he learn it? They do it one after another."

Then he waved his hand to express his acceptance.

"Second Miss, there are really not many good things in the north. The prince can only give you a few boxes of silver in a tacky way. Just buy whatever you like. There is not enough money for Prince Li's palace."

"Thank you, King Li. I'm very satisfied." Mu Shiyu said with a happy smile.

"Since the second young lady is satisfied, I will take my leave." Butler Qi has lived his whole life, but if it weren't for Lin Junrong, he probably wouldn't be able to say these words.
