Chapter 110 Correction fee
Even if Murong Yue didn't give up, she didn't dare to approach Jun Zhuoyuan now. Mu Xiwen kept looking at her and she had no chance to leave her seat.
"Yue'er, this is not a good match for you. Wait for your father to find you a better one. You can like her but don't be too much."
Murong Yue lowered her head, "Yuer knows, father, don't worry, Yueer understands in her heart."
Mu Xiwen nodded, "That's good to know. My daughter, Mu Xiwen, must marry the best. Only when you have power in your hands can you be the most secure. The love between children is fleeting."
Murong Yue twisted the handkerchief, her eyes blank.
Jun Zhuoyuan licked his face with a smug look on his face, and asked the servants to bring the whole plate of lychees on his table to him, "Wife, the lychees sent this year are especially sweet, would you like to try some?"
Mu Nanyan held her forehead with her hand. Although she was not socially anxious, there were so many eyes in the hall looking at her. The emperor and the queen were also staring at her. This feeling really made her uncomfortable. "Why don't you go back first? After all, we are just dating and not married yet. We still have to abide by the rules!"
Mu Nanyan thought: Help!!! Can we please leave quickly? This look is seeing through her!
Jun Zhuoyuan pouted, "Wife, we haven't even gotten married yet and you're already starting to dislike me."
Mu Nanyan reached out and covered his mouth with her hand. "Stop, don't say anything. Just like this... I feel like I'm about to drown in this gaze."
Jun Zhuoyuan turned his head, his face darkened, and glanced around, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen love before? If you keep looking at me, I will dig your eyes out!"
Even so, he did not stop moving, and the peeled lychees fell into the bowl one by one. The people around him lowered their heads when they heard his words. No one dared to offend this gentleman! The year before last, this gentleman had given them a lot of trouble at the palace banquet. He almost handed over all his family assets to him. He still claimed to be working for the country. Who could afford to offend him?
"Wife, peel them all for me. You can eat them with chopsticks so that you don't get your hands dirty."
The queen couldn't help herself sitting in the main seat, and secretly pinched the people around her, "Look at you, Yuan'er did what you did, and you still want me to treat you well, you wish."
Emperor Tianyou hissed in pain, "The Queen's grip is too strong again, but I like it."
The tea that Ru Fei had just taken a sip of came out with a puff, "Cough cough cough..."
"Is my sister okay?" The queen looked at her nervously. Just as she was about to stand up, she was held down by Emperor Tianyou.
"What could possibly happen to her? She's just getting punished for eavesdropping on us." Emperor Tianyou was very dissatisfied, but he had gotten used to it.
Ru Fei waved her hands, "No...it's okay. I just didn't expect to hear such words from an old man. It's so funny just thinking about it. I couldn't help it for a moment, hahahaha."
The people below couldn't hear what the three were saying at all. They could only see Concubine Ru laughing. Emperor Tianyou glared at Concubine Ru and raised his glass to signal the people below.
The people below stood up and raised their glasses, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, a thousand years and a thousand years of live the empress!"
"My dear ministers, please stand up. Please be casual today. It's not a festival without some etiquette."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The queen was holding a basket of lychees under the table. She peeled one and looked around. Seeing that no one was watching, she quickly put the seed into her mouth and spit out the seed while pretending to drink.
Jun Zhuoyuan was busy serving his wife and didn't pay any attention to her. Concubine Ru looked down and didn't see her unfortunate son. He must have sneaked back, so she quietly took a bowl of chilled grapes to eat.
Emperor Tianyou frowned and said in an unhappy tone: "You two should be careful."
The queen covered her face and spat out the fruit core, saying, "I haven't had any for several days. Today I want to eat my fill."
Ru Fei echoed, "That's right, I don't know what's going on in the kitchen recently. They only sent me one bunch of grapes. I'm dying of greed."
The queen swore, "It must be Yuan'er and Qi'er's business. They must have sent the message."
Concubine Ru nodded in agreement.
Emperor Tianyou put down the cup and asked, "Aren't you two afraid of being discovered by them?"
"If I don't tell you and you don't tell them, how will they find out? What do you think, old man?" There was a threat in the queen's tone and her eyes glanced at him unconsciously.
"Am I the kind of person who would file a complaint?"
Concubine Ru and the Queen said in unison: "Isn't it?"
"Empress, His Royal Highness Prince Li asked me to tell you not to eat too many lychees, as it would cause you to get a sore throat." The maid said in a low voice.
The queen glanced at the man who was peeling lychees for his wife. He didn't even look up at her. Why could his wife eat lychees but she, as a mother, couldn't? "Go tell him that I ate them today. What can he do to me?"
The maid continued, "His Royal Highness Prince Li guessed that you would answer like this, and he also prepared a second sentence. His Royal Highness Prince Li said that if you don't listen, your life in the palace will be very difficult in the future."
"How can this be! I am the queen!"
"What's wrong with you, mother? Who made you angry?"
The person who was sitting below just now quietly walked behind her at some point.
The queen changed the subject and held Mu Nanyan's hand, "Yan'er is here, come and let me take a good look at her. She has been taking good care of herself these days and has finally gained some weight. You must take good care of her because I am still waiting to have a grandson!"
Mu Nanyan blushed and glanced to the side, "Mother."
"Your Majesty is right." Jun Zhuoyuan looked at Mu Nanyan with a smile. Ru Fei looked at the two of them with an aunt's smile on her face, but when she thought of her own son, her face suddenly darkened.
Concubine Ru leaned back, and the maid behind her came over to ask, "Madam, is there anything you want me to do?"
"Leave the palace now and tell Jun Qi to come to the palace to pay his respects to me tomorrow morning!"
"It's the lady."
Jun Qi, who was far away in the backyard of the brothel, sneezed twice for no apparent reason.
"Master, have you caught a cold?" The servant who was accompanying him handed over a handkerchief.
Jun Qi shook his head, "I feel something sinister behind me, and I'm afraid something is going to happen."
"Alright, forget it. Ask the manager to bring the account book so I can see how the harvest has been recently."
The servant bowed and withdrew.
Jun Zhuoyuan led Mu Nanyan to the area where the princes were sitting. The eldest prince Jun Yao was the first to speak. "Ninth brother, ninth sister, today's matter is not too late. Big brother has not prepared anything. So I recently got a piece of blood jade with excellent color. I will send it to the Mu Mansion later. It will be regarded as a gift for changing one's name."
Mu Nanyan did not refuse and leaned forward slightly, "Thank you, brother."
Jun Zhuoyuan was very satisfied with this. "Big brother is really generous. Zhuoyuan would like to thank you on behalf of my wife."
"Ah!" The second prince Jun Zhuoxiao sighed heavily, "Brother, you are the first one to give up like this. What will our brothers do in the future?"
The Second Prince's Consort Li Yangyang, who was originally accompanying Concubine De, came over and said, "Ninth brother, Ninth brother's wife."
Jun Zhuoyuan bowed and said, "Second sister-in-law."
Mu Nanyan followed him and called out, "Second sister-in-law, I've heard for a long time that the second prince married a beautiful lady. Today I see that she is indeed as good as her reputation."
The Second Prince's wife covered her mouth and laughed, "Ninth brother's wife, you are joking. How can I be called a beautiful lady? I look like..."
"How can you say that? She is obviously very beautiful. I was lucky enough to leave the palace recently and heard a lot about the Second Princess's beauty in her youth. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she looked like an immortal. Even a woman like me would be moved when I see you. I really want to take you back to the palace and hide you away."
After hearing her words, the Second Prince quickly hugged the person next to him and said, "Sister-in-law, this is your fault. Ninth brother, take care of your wife. Don't try to steal my wife. I chased her with great difficulty, how can I let her go?"
Jun Zhuoyuan said with a bitter face, "Second brother, there is nothing I can do about this. Yan'er likes me, so I can only help her get it."
"Alright, alright. No wonder you two can get together. It's true that people from the same family stick together. You're all scoundrels. Without further ado, I'll send my gift to the Mu residence tomorrow."
Mu Nanyan smiled and said, "Thank you, second brother."
Jun Zhuoyuan held her hand and continued to walk down. The third prince Jun Muzhe was ready early, "Ninth brother, you know me well. I am an idle prince with no connections and no money. I don't have any expensive gifts. I can only give you a guqin that I made myself."
"Third brother, you are so poor. Everyone knows that you are a good violin maker. If you sell just one violin you made, it would be enough for you to spend half your life."
The Third Prince smiled lightly, "Ninth brother, don't try to make me happy. I will deliver the gift tonight. I have something else to do and need to go on a long journey tomorrow, so I may not be able to make it in time."
Jun Zhuoyuan asked: "Did Third Brother find the tree?"
"Tree?" Mu Nanyan was full of confusion.
Jun Zhuoyuan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Third brother loves guqin, and has quite a few in his collection. He also likes to make guqins when he's free, and he often goes out to find top-quality wood to make the body of the guqin."
Mu Nanyan's eyes widened. It was true that rich people knew how to have fun. They could make even their little hobbies so extravagant.
Mu Nanyan smiled and said, "Thank you for the piano, Third Brother. I'll try it out tonight."
The third prince's eyes lit up, "My sister-in-law can also play the piano?"
Mu Nanyan nodded, "I know a little bit."
"Then I'll have a good chat with you when I come back."
Jun Zhuoyuan smelled a dangerous atmosphere and dragged Mu Nanyan away, "Third brother, eat and drink well, we are leaving first."
The fifth prince, Jun Yichen, leaned back in his chair with a wanton look on his face, "Hey~ Who is this beauty?"
Mu Nanyan looked at him with disdain. Who the hell is this sissy? He speaks like this...
Jun Zhuoyuan's voice sounded slowly, "Jun Yichen, I think you are just itching for trouble. Now that the wound has healed, you have forgotten the pain."
Although the Fifth Prince was unhappy, he couldn't afford to offend Old Nine yet. He spat out the grape skins in his mouth and stood up, "Jun Yichen, Xiao Yuan's fifth brother, just played a little joke on my sister-in-law. I hope my sister-in-law will not bear grudges."
Mu Nanyan smiled with a fake smile, but out of politeness she still said, "Fifth brother."
"Hey! This sister-in-law is so beautiful, even prettier than Li Yangyang. Fifth brother doesn't have much else but a lot of shops. Xiaofeng, go back home and take ten of my shops in Kyoto, in good locations, and send them all to the Mu Mansion."
The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince walked towards the three people, holding wine glasses.
