The Aloof Prince Chapter 29 - Go to the Temple

Zi Xiang heard Mu Yunjin, somewhat taken aback but immediately comprehending, she walked forward and prepared to lend an arm to support Aunt Li. Her hands have not yet touched Aunt Li when she was shaken off.

“I can do it on my own.”

Aunt Li stood still after, slightly sucking in her breath, she pulled a long face, as she looked at Mu Yunjin.

“We will go over rules and etiquette, asking Third Miss to carefully learn from this slave. This slave is specially a.s.signed to come, because in the future, Third Miss will enter the Prince`s Residence. Your action and manner should not be criticized. Third Miss please understand the Madam`s intention.”“Are you saying Mother is thinking, that my actions are improper and not adhering to the rules? Therefore you are here to teach me?”

Mu Yunjin lazily leaned on her chair while fiddling on her fingernails. Aunt Li was baffled then smiled.

“It is not rue, it is just in the recent years, the Madam knows that the Third Miss is lacking in guidance, now she had asked this slave to teach the Third Miss the rules. She also fears that in the future Miss will suffer at the Prince`s residence. Asking the Third Miss to accept the Master and Madam`s kind intention.”

Mu Yunjin listened to Aunt Li speak extremely beautiful words. Finally understanding why Su Biqing had sent her to come. After all, an old ginger is hotter than young ginger. But, Su Biqing suddenly sending her confidant Aunt Li to her, it is absolutely unlikely that it is only as simple as learning rules and etiquette, She actually want to see what trick they are hiding.

“Third Miss, the matter should not be delayed, we should start now.”

Aunt Li said.

“Wait a minute.”

Mu Yunji loudly interrupted, leaned her head to look at Zi Xiang.

“Zi Xiang, I just got out of bed and have not eaten yet, I am a little hungry.”

Zi Xiang heard her, and immediately said,

“It is this slaves negligence, This slave is going to prepare your meal right away.”

“Okay.”

Zi Xiang left in a hurry. Mu Yunjin smiled at Aunt Li.

“Wait for me to finish eating.”

Aunt Li clenched her teeth, and forced her lips to move.

“Yes. Third Miss.”

...........

Inside the small garden of the Listening Flower Pavilion, Mu Yunjin is unhurriedly eating a small bowl of red bean porridge. From time to time she will engage in idle gossip with Zi Xiang. The small bowl of Red bean porridge is unexpectedly not yet finished even though 30 minutes have pa.s.sed. Aunt Li who was standing at the side, looked up and saw that it is almost noon. She stared at Mu Yunjin, in her heart she already scolded Mu yunjin a thousand times.

“I am done eating.”

Mu Yunjin said, as she pushed the small bowl aside.

“Third Miss, May we begin?”

Aunt Li saw Mu Yunjin is finished eating, she stepped forward.

Mu Yunjin nodded and smiled at Aunt Li.

“You may begin, Aunt Li give me a demonstration first, I should study the details.”

“Okay.”

Aunt Li said, then stepped back, and began to demonstrate to Mu Yunjin.

“This old slave will start from the bow of Confucian code of ethics. Within the palace, there are numerous n.o.bility, even the ceremonial bow are divided into three ranks. Third Miss must carefully learn them.”

Mu Yunjin indulgently looked at Aunt Li`s demonstration. Aunt Li showed a small ceremonial bow. She just lightly moved her body. Even her waist did not bend a little. Soon after, she looked at Mu Yunjin.

“This kind of ceremonial bow, is shown to people of the same age, or to sisters and brothers.”

Mu Yunjin propped her head, looking at the scene before her, she knew she smells something fishy.

It turned out that Aunt Li is meant to teach her the wrong rules ah. Although she did not learn any palace etiquette, but it is foolish to bow perfunctory like that. Then, she saw Aunt Li demonstrate another bow, she showed Mu Yunjin a big ceremonial bow.

“This kind of ceremonial bow, is suited to show to some Imperial Concubines, they are the princes mothers. So you should conduct a big ceremony.”

“Yes.”

Mu Yunjin nodded, but silently rolled her eyes, and lazily yawned.

“Next......”

“Miss, It is already lunch time.”

Not waiting for Aunt Li to finish speaking, Zi Xiang suddenly spoke. Mu Yunjin faintly raised her eyebrows, and looked at Aunt Li who`s face is on the verge of collapsing, she faintly hooked up her lips.

“Good, Let us eat lunch first.”

“Third Miss, didn`t you just had your meal?”

Aunt Li said while trying to restrain her anger.

“Yes, I just ate my morning meal, and now I am going to eat my lunch. Don`t tell me you will not let me eat?”

Mu Yunjin asked, as she picked up her chopsticks, and leisurely ate. Zi Xiang stood at the side trying to hide her smiling expression, she glanced at Aunt Li to see her angry ashen face her hear particularly carefree. In the past, Aunt Li relied on her being the First Madam`s person and did many bad things, today, her being here there surely would be an incident. While eating her meal, Mu Yunjin raised her eyes to look at Aunt Li, and said.

“Aunt Li, you can continue to demonstrate, I will watch you, in this way we could save some time.”

Aunt Li although before she did not understand, now hearing her words, at last she realize, this little s.l.u.t is deliberately making fun of her! After waiting for a while, Aunt Li addressed Mu Yun jin.

“I guess third miss after eating your lunch meal, you will also take a nap, then after waking up, you will probably have your evening meal, apparently this old slave did not come at the right time, this slave will take her leave now.”

“Aunt Li actually understands me.”

Mu Yunjin smiled cynically.

“That being the case, take care, I will not send you out!”

Aunt Li angrily left, Mu Yunjin laid down her chopsticks and a light flashed in her eyes, indifferently smiled.

“In this two months, I`m afraid that Listening Flower Pavilion will not be peaceful.”

Zi Xiang sighed.

“I heard the Fourth Miss had admired the Sixth Prince since childhood, and now that Sixth Prince wants to marry the miss as his Imperial princess, Fourth Miss heart is surely unhappy.”

“Unhappy, hah! Because she is unhappy, I am happy.”

Mu Yunjin slightly raised her eyebrows.

..........

Three days has pa.s.sed, Mu Yunjin stayed inside the Listening Flower Pavilion and did not go out. Originally thought Aunt Li will come again to Listening Flower Pavilion. Who would have thought that after angrily walking out that day she will not come again. With her free time, Mu Yunjin listened to Zi Xiang talking about a temple fair held today. Soon she prepared to take Zi Xiang out of the Prime Minister Residence. Pa.s.sing through the Front hall, Mu Yunjin saw the housekeeper enter holding a lot of gift boxes, then placing them on the table with the other pile of gift boxes.

“w.a.n.g Bo, where did this gifts come from?”

Zi Xiang looked at the table full of gifts curiously. w.a.n.g Bo wiping his sweat, bowed towards Mu Yunjin and spoke.

“Since the announcement of the bestowal of your marriage to the Sixth Prince has spread, these were sent by other people to the residence, you can almost not see the doorstep, the whole capital had sent gifts to congratulate the Miss. It has been three days now, but there are still people who are sending presents.”

“Where are the previously sent gifts?”

Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow.

“This old slave is not very clear about it but it should all be with the First Madam.”

w.a.n.g Bo replied. Having heard what was said, Mu Yunjin crossed her arms, and swept her eyes on those gift boxes. As far as her eyes can see, almost all of them are very precious medicines, tonics, antiques and so on.

“Since it is to congratulate me, then these gift boxes should be sent to my Listening Flower Pavilion, conveniently have Mother send over those gift boxes she previously took.”

Mu Yunjin flashed a smile. Then led Zi Xiang out of the Residence door. The housekeeper was frozen in place, for a moment he felt awkward. After leaving the Prime Minister Residence, Zi Xiang walked alongside Mu Yunjin, she worriedly asked Mu Yunjin.

“Miss, if we ask for those gift boxes back, won`t the First Madam be unhappy?”

“What qualifications does she have to be unhappy, those presents are mine to begin with, I am just taking what is mine.”

Mu Yunjin explained. She paused, then Mu Yunjin spoke up again.

“Actually, I really don`t care about those gifts, I just really hate her so much that I want to infuriate her, that`s all.”

“Miss....”

Zi Xiang got scared and immediately reached out her hands to cover Mu Yunjin`s mouth. She looked around for people. If those words are heard by others, it will be a huge incident.

“You said something about a temple fair, where is it?”

Mu Yunjin crossed her arms, and leisurely walked along the street, she looked around until the end of the street but she could not catch sight of a temple fair in the area.

“Miss, temples are generally built outside of a city, this is the street market, where can there be a fair?”

Zi Xiang said as she covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing. Mu Yunjin twitched her mouth, and they went all the way out of the city.

..........

They arrived at the temple Zi Xiang mentioned, Mu Yunjin looked around. At this moment the door of the temple is busy with the comings and goings of people. The temple is filled with people who have come to partic.i.p.ate in the temple fair.

“Miss, I heard that inside the temple there exist an Ancient Millennium Tree. It is said that everyone who made a sincere wish to the Ancient Millennium Tree had their wishes come true.”

Zi Xiang talked about the Ancient Tree with an eager face. Mu Yunjin glances at Zi Xiang.

“You also believe in this kind of hoax?”

“Miss, since we have come, we might as well take a look. Anyway there are so many people inside right now, let us not crowd in.”

Zi Xiang replied. Mu Yunjin sighed then nodded. She followed Zi Xiang to look for the ancient Millennium Tree. After walking a few steps, Mu Yunjin came upon a shade at the side of a tree, she also saw a few carriage stopped there. Among them is a red sandalwood carriage she quickly recognized. It seems Mu Lingzhu also came. Along the way they asked a few Buddhist monk for directions until they reached the location of the Ancient Millennium Tree. The Millennium Tree is placed inside a huge courtyard, and to get into that courtyard, you need to give the token to the abbot. Zi Xiang saw it and felt a little sad. Mu Yunjin really don`t care to see the Ancient Millennium Tree, seeing it form outside, her heart felt faintly strange, mysteriously she felt as if there was something wrapped around her and pulling her. Mu Yunjin moved her body as she lift her eyes towards the courtyard.

“Zi Xiang, let us find the Abbot.”

Two people made a round trip back to ask a few Abbot staying at the Buddhist hall, Mu Yunjin had barely walked in the steps leading to the Buddhist hall when they saw some people in front. Lifting her eyes to look, she saw the third prince Chu Qing and the eight prince Chu Xin. Furthermore there is another man who is wearing a magnificent clothes walking beside them. And beside the three of them is Mu Lingzhu, wearing a Yan Damask skirt that looks warm as a lotus blossom. There are also a few young ladies that she have not met. Those people also saw Mu Yunjin as they walked towards her, for a moment everyone`s expression was different. Mu Yunjin silently cursed herself for having bad luck, Zi Xiang pulled at Mu Yunjin`s sleeves, and whispered.

“Miss, how about we turn around?”

“Why turn around? It won`t do to fear them.”

Mu Yunjin whispered loudly, continuing her steps. When they were standing face to face, Chu Qing`s voice sounded.

“Is this not the Third Miss? Why are you alone?”

Oh my! I sense trouble.. again... I still don`t know what`s Chu Qing`s role in all this, is he just another idiot who likes to create trouble for the MC or will he be an ally sooner or later....
