The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 374 1 Family

Li Mulan leaned lazily on the chair, holding the roster in her hand and looking at it carefully. There were people kneeling in the room below.

Wow, it's worthy of being the Regent's Palace. There are so many servants. I never paid much attention to them before I came here.

Li Mulan closed the book in her hand and glanced at the people below with her pair of cold almond-shaped eyes, making everyone dare not breathe.

Unexpectedly, this princess looks young, but her aura is so strong, almost as strong as their prince.

Unlike the servants who were busy and cautious, the housekeeper was pleasantly surprised to see Li Mulan like this. The prince had a good eye to find such a princess. The mistress of the Regent's Palace naturally could not be that weak.

Li Mulan simply flipped through the booklets, as there was still a long way to go.

This was the scene Chu Chenfeng saw when he came over. Li Mulan's lazy and elegant demeanor was something he had never seen before. Her face was calm and indifferent, as if nothing could stump her.

He curled the corners of his lips. It was the first time he saw her like this.

Li Mulan soon noticed this enthusiastic gaze, and raised her eyes to meet the smiling gaze. She put down the things in her hands and told the housekeeper, "Let's stop here today, everyone go down first."

The old butler seemed to think that was not enough, "The account book..."

Li Mulan smiled and said, "There is a long way to go, and this princess is not free only today."

The old butler wanted to say something, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Chu Chenfeng standing outside. He smiled and nodded, then led all the servants out.

Li Mulan walked towards Chu Chenfeng with a light step, "Are you back? Have you had your meal?"

Chu Chenfeng took the initiative to pull Li Mulan's hand and led people towards their courtyard.

"I used it with Xiaojie in the palace. What about you?"

Although Li Mulan was not used to such closeness, she did not refuse and let him hold her.

"I have used it. I got up late and just used it a while ago."

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"Well, it's okay. I don't recognize the bed either."

At this point, Chu Chenfeng felt very guilty, "Sorry, I left you alone."

"What's the big deal? Didn't you tell me before? Why are you apologizing again?"

Fortunately, something important happened yesterday. If the two of them really wanted to spend their wedding night together, it would be so awkward. Is she sleeping or not? It seems that the two of them haven't progressed to that stage yet...

Chu Chenfeng smiled, and the two of them went back to their yard together.

"Yuan Ruo came over and asked for a few secret manuals. I asked the butler to give them to him."

"Yes, I know that. I haven't thanked you yet for letting Yuan Ruo and the others protect Xiao Jie."

Speaking of this, Li Mulan smiled and said, "I heard that King Cheng has your people around him, so I am doing this in vain."

Chu Chenfeng raised the corners of his lips, "It's all thanks to Yuan Ruo and Xiao Qi that they were able to protect Xiao Jie like this."

"Oh, it's nothing. I like Xiaojie very much, so I don't want anything to happen to him. Besides, he's your nephew, we're family, hehe."

"Yes, a family."

Returning to their courtyard, Chu Chenfeng brought out a brocade box and handed it over.

Li Mulan raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"open to take a look."

Not bad, there will be surprises.

"Phoenix hairpin?" Li Mulan took out the old-fashioned hairpin inlaid with rubies. It looked simple, but it had a very ancient charm.

"Well, my mother's things, it is said that my grandmother gave them to her."

When Li Mulan heard this, she wanted to return the item. "This is too precious. It's not good to give it to me. You should keep it for yourself."

Chu Chenfeng did not take it back, but looked at Li Mulan tenderly, "This thing was originally given to you. You are my wife now."

"But..." Li Mulan wanted to say, they are not really a couple, but more like partners.

Chu Chenfeng seemed to know what she was thinking, and said softly, "Lan'er, I really want to be with you. I know that you may not be ready yet, but I will give you time. I hope you can seriously consider me."

Li Mulan paused holding the phoenix hairpin, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Chu Chenfeng did not give her a chance to respond and continued, "I will be going to the border tomorrow, so I may not be able to accompany you back home."

"Then... so urgent? King Cheng has already been defeated, is there still a need for emergency at the border?"

"Simon and my Great Chu have always been at odds, and Duanmu Qing regards me as his old enemy. He will definitely not give up this time. As for Northern Qi, Situ Lian cannot be trusted. Although I don't know what he intends to do, I can't relax at all. So this time, I must go in person."

"Did you find Brother Mingqi?"

"We found him, but he was seriously injured and unconscious. So I asked Doctor Xuan to go with me this time."

"Second Brother? Did he agree?"

"Yes."

Li Mulan frowned. Why didn't the second senior brother tell her anything?

"Then..." Li Mulan was a little flustered, "Is there anything I can do?"

Chu Chenfeng rubbed the top of her head and said, "Just stay in the palace safely."

"You make me sound useless." Li Mulan curled her lips, "I'll give you another chance, say it again."

Chu Chenfeng chuckled, "Okay, okay, let's talk again. I think your twenty or so subordinates are all very capable. How about picking a few good ones to go to the border with me?"

"That's easy to say. These people were all trained by me personally. They are no worse than yours, right?"

"Not only is it not bad, Xingyi and the others are all impressed by it."

"Haha," Li Mulan laughed like a cunning little fox, "Isn't that great? I'll ask them to come over later and you can choose for yourself."

"it is good."

"Hey," Li Mulan sighed, "How about I go with you?"

"No," Chu Chenfeng's expression immediately became serious, "Swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield, I'm afraid I can't take care of you."

"I don't need your protection. I have the ability to protect myself, and maybe I can protect you too."

"I believe this, but," Chu Chenfeng pursed his lips, "Anyway, I don't agree with you going there."

Li Mulan curled her lips and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go."

Chu Chenfeng was about to say something when Xingyi came. His expression showed that there was something urgent.

Li Mulan naturally saw it, "You have something urgent to do, go and do it first, we will talk later."

"Okay, if you have any questions, just ask the butler. He knows everything about the mansion."

"I know, I know. Go ahead and do it. I'm stretching my neck a lot."

Chu Chenfeng smiled helplessly, "Then I'll go."

"Well, let's go."

After Chu Chenfeng left, his expression immediately changed, "What's going on?"

Xingyi's expression was very ugly at the moment, "The Third Prince of Northern Qi is here."

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know. He said he would not tell me until he saw you."
