Chapter 351: The sun comes out in the west?
Li Mulan left after settling everyone down.
Huo Yuanruo and Li Xiaoqi stayed behind, along with Ye Tianyu. He could see Li Xiaoqi's reluctance at a glance, and said considerately that he also wanted to stay here. In this way, Li Xiaoqi wouldn't have to go with him to protect him. After all, Simon's killers had been causing a lot of trouble recently.
Everyone else went to wash up and change into new clothes, only Dongzi had a serious look on his face and pulled Li Xiaoqi and Huo Yuanruo to find out what was going on.
"So, the master wasn't forced into marriage by his family?"
Huo Yuanruo spat out the melon seed shell in his mouth. "What are you thinking about? Who is Junior Master? Is there anyone who can force her? That Regent King," Huo Yuanruo curled his lips. "He is really good and powerful, and he is also good to Junior Master."
Li Xiaoqi and Ye Tianyu looked at Huo Yuanruo in shock. This brat usually looked at Chu Chenfeng with his nose and eyes looking different. What happened today? Did the sun rise from the west?
Dongzi's face turned red and he scratched the back of his head. "I heard that this wealthy family likes to use their daughter as a bargaining chip. I thought the master had found his family, and they...they would use her."
Huo Yuanruo patted the dust off his hands and said, "Don't worry, this marriage was arranged by my master himself, and my junior uncle also agreed. Moreover, everyone in the Li family is very good to my junior uncle and to us."
Dongzi was sure of this, and the wrinkles between his brows immediately relaxed. "So it was the senior who arranged the marriage for the master. There must be no problem with that. We are just overthinking it, hahahaha."
Li Xiaoqi leaned against the door and said, "Brother Dongzi always worries about nothing."
Dongzi glared at him angrily, "How dare you say that? It's all your fault. You couldn't even explain the message clearly, and made us worry for so long in vain."
Li Xiaoqi felt guilty after being yelled at, "Ah, wasn't I anxious at that time too, worried that you wouldn't be able to make it in time..."
Dongzi snorted coldly, thinking that he really didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Mulan also took the carriage of the Regent's Palace to return to the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Qingyu pulled open the curtain of the carriage, and seeing Xing Yi who kept looking at the carriage, she raised the corners of her lips and winked at Li Mulan.
Li Mulan noticed and raised her eyebrows, "Commander Xingyi, what's the matter?"
Seeing that Li Mulan finally noticed him, Xing Yi was not embarrassed at all. He just kicked the horse's belly twice and approached the carriage with a flattering smile on his face. Li Mulan's hair stood on end. This Commander Xing Yi... hasn't he always been very steady in the past...
"Princess, were those brothers just now your subordinates?"
“······Well, yes.” Isn’t this something everyone knows?
“Then…” Xingyi’s eyes were frighteningly bright at this moment, “I heard from Yuan Ruo that they were all trained by you, the princess, personally?”
Li Mulan's eyes flickered slightly and a beautiful curve appeared at the corners of her lips. It turned out that it was because of this.
She raised an eyebrow, "I made the training plan, and Long Yi helped me train."
Xingyi turned his beads and said, "I see that those brothers are all very skilled. I wonder if Xingyi has the honor to follow them..."
Li Mulan said with a smile, "Want a competition?"
"Yes," Xingyi chuckled, then scratched his head uncomfortably, "Princess, you know that I have many good fighters under my command. Of course, they are definitely not as good as those under your command. However, Xingyi still wants to see the gap, I wonder..."
"Okay, find a suitable place for us to compete, let's do it tomorrow."
The wedding is in three days, so it would be nice to practice tomorrow.
The wedding was to be held in three days. Li Mulan felt a little disappointed. The old fox had not come yet and had not even sent a letter...
Xingyi didn't notice the change in Li Mulan's expression. He was just excited now. "Okay, the place is ready. There is a martial arts arena in the palace."
The martial arts arena...in fact, it can't fully display their abilities, but it's enough to practice with Xingyi and the others.
The group soon arrived at the Taifu Mansion. As soon as they got off the carriage, Li Mulan saw Chu Chenfeng walking out of the Taifu Mansion.
"Chu Chenfeng? Why are you here?"
Xing Yi, who had just dismounted from his horse behind him, staggered and almost fell. The princess was probably the only one in the world who could call the prince by his name so casually.
Li Mulan herself was not sure when she started calling Chu Chenfeng by his full name. Anyway, she got used to it after calling him by his full name for a while, and besides, isn't a name meant to be called?
Chu Chenfeng stood still, looking at Li Mulan who was walking quickly with gentle eyes, and did not respond to her directly, "Where did you go?"
"My brothers have arrived. They just made a scene in your house. I went over to see them and just settled them down."
Chu Chenfeng glanced at Xing Yi who followed him, and Xing Yi nodded.
"What about you? You came to see me?"
Chu Chenfeng smiled and said, "I'm here to discuss something with the Grand Tutor. I wanted to have dinner with Lan'er."
Li Mulan was in a good mood when she saw him, "Then I came back just in time."
"Yes, it's just in time."
Li Mulan hurriedly told Qingyu, "Sister, please prepare some light dishes for me." Then she looked at Chu Chenfeng, "Let's eat in my yard?"
Chu Chenfeng nodded, and followed Li Mulan into the mansion, with Xingyi following closely behind.
Qingyu served tea to the two of them and went to prepare dinner.
Chu Chenfeng skillfully poured a cup of tea for Li Mulan, and Li Mulan naturally accepted Chu Chenfeng's care.
"Have you seen the house? Are you satisfied?"
Li Mulan took a sip of tea and smiled, "I'm satisfied. This place is big and quiet. They can make as much noise as they want, but at least it won't disturb the people."
"Is there anything else you need? If so, I can ask someone..."
Li Mulan waved her hands hurriedly, "Xingyi and the old housekeeper have made very good arrangements, at least much better than what I could have arranged myself."
Chu Chenfeng said gently, "As long as you are satisfied."
"Why are you so busy lately? You're not busy with your wedding, are you?"
Although he didn't say anything, who is Li Mulan? Almost no one can compare to her in terms of sensitivity.
"Indeed, I have something to tell you today so that you won't worry later."
Li Mulan narrowed her eyes, "You won't tell me unless I ask you?"
When Chu Chenfeng saw her look, he immediately put down the cup and said seriously, "No, I've really been too busy lately, so I didn't intend to hide it from you."
Li Mulan snorted twice, "You tell me first."
These days, she was not without any news. When Long Yi was not around, all the important letters from the pavilion would be delivered to her.
Chu Chenfeng told Li Mulan about some recent events, including King Cheng, some movements of Simon Beiqi, and some of his own arrangements without reservation.
Xing Yi looked at his master's obedient and well-behaved appearance, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he dared not look at him anymore.
This doesn't seem like he wants any money, eh...
Li Mulan listened and her beautiful eyebrows slowly frowned. "So, you are going to the border after the wedding?"
Chu Chenfeng pursed his lips a little worriedly, but finally nodded.
