"The eldest sister-in-law is so kind, it would be disrespectful for Zhao Zhao to refuse. When I come to pay a visit to the prince in the future, I hope the sister-in-law will give me more advice."

Mo Zhaohua readily agreed, but did not agree to go alone. Instead, he set the time for the day when he and Chu Xuanchi would go to the Prince of Jin's Mansion to pay a visit.

"They talk about their own affairs among the brothers, and we play our chess games among the sisters-in-law. It does not affect each other, and we do not have to wait for the fifth brother to come to our house before we can come."

Princess Jin sighed and said, "Ah... I stay in the mansion every day, and there is no one to talk to. It's really boring."

"The prince is not able to walk well, so many things are inconvenient for him. Since Zhao Zhao has become his wife, she should serve him more. Otherwise, I will not be at ease."

Although Mo Zhaohua didn't know that Prince Jin's concubine was pregnant, she knew that there were many people in the backyard of Prince Jin's mansion. If something happened, she would inevitably be implicated.

In her previous life, incidents often occurred in the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion. If Princess Jin wanted to use her, she wouldn't be able to explain herself, so it was better for her to stay away from it.

She also used Emperor Wenzong as an excuse, "When your majesty granted the marriage, he also said that Zhaozhao should take good care of the prince. How dare Zhaozhao slack off?"

The eyes of the Prince of Jin dimmed slightly, "If that is the case, Princess, please do not embarrass my sister-in-law."

Princess Jin said no more, "I'm sorry, I was too much of a pusher, please forgive me, sister-in-law."

Mo Zhaohua smiled calmly, "It's nothing, Zhao Zhao can't disobey the emperor's order, I just hope that the prince can get better soon."

The King of Jin and his wife left soon after, and other guests came to greet them, which is the purpose of all banquets.

Getting to know more people under the pretext of a banquet is either for fame or for profit.

Chu Xuanchi and his wife were socializing all the time. Mu Xueyan felt bored after staying for a while, so she took Yueying and Taoyao away.

Tao Yao looked around, dazzled, "Miss, why do I feel that the chrysanthemums in Shengjing are more beautiful than those in Southern Xinjiang?"

Yueying explained, "King Rui loves chrysanthemums the most. There are many varieties in the garden, including some precious and famous ones, which are indeed extremely rare."

Tao Yao suddenly realized, "So that's why I've never seen it before. Look, Miss, there are green chrysanthemums here."

"Look at you, you look so ignorant. It's embarrassing to bring you out." Mu Xueyan said this but she had already walked over.

The master and servant were standing around a green chrysanthemum, marveling at it. Yueying was standing nearby, looking around, and then they saw King Rui walking slowly towards them.

Prince Rui spoke coldly, "This flower is called Green Peony, and it is one of my favorite varieties. Does Miss Mu like it too?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui is well." Mu Xueyan bowed before answering, "Compared to the same old yellow chrysanthemums, this one is quite pretty."

Prince Rui generously gave her a gift, "I have several of these flowers. If you like them, I can give you one. You can take it back to Prince Yu's Palace and raise it."

Mu Xueyan declined, "That's not necessary. I'm not good at growing flowers and plants. This flower is so precious, wouldn't it be a waste of nature if I killed it?"

Before leaving today, Chu Xuanchi gave her many warnings, asking her to remember one thing: If someone shows kindness to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief, so don't be fooled.

Not to mention that she really didn't want to grow flowers, even if she liked them, she wouldn't accept other people's gifts for no reason, and this time it wasn't an apology.

Prince Rui looked indifferent, "Miss, you are joking. Of course, you don't need to raise it. I believe there are flower slaves in Prince Yu's mansion."

Mu Xueyan still refused, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am just staying at Prince Yu's Mansion. Why would I be so troublesome?"

It's not that she doesn't understand a lot of things. After all, she is not a three-year-old child. She just wants to take advantage of Chu Xuanchi's favor to do whatever she wants.

Prince Rui did not force it and changed the subject, "There is a ten-foot-tall hanging curtain over there, it is a rare species, would you like to take a look, young lady?"

Just as Mu Xueyan was about to respond, Prince Jin came over in a light robe, "Seventh brother, Miss Mu, are both admiring the green peony."

King Rui greeted first, "My dear brother, how are you?"

Mu Xueyan also knelt down, "I remember you, you are His Royal Highness Prince Jin, right?"

The smile of Prince Jin did not reach his eyes. "Yes, the fifth prince will come to the mansion in a few days. Miss, you must come."

Mu Xueyan responded, "Okay, as long as Brother Yu Wang is willing, I will naturally come along to broaden my horizons."

The King of Jin asked her, "Miss, you are new to Shengjing. Have you been out and about? There are many delicious and fun things to do in Shengjing."

When Mu Xueyan heard about playing, her eyes dimmed, "I only went out to play once, and this is my second time out of the house."

Chu Xuanchi detained her in the mansion in the name of practicing martial arts, and Yueying watched her closely. Even Taoyao didn't help her, so she couldn't sneak out.

Prince Jin caught her loneliness and immediately tried to test her, "Why, young lady, do you not like Shengjing?"

Mu Xueyan shook her head slightly, "No, it's because I don't know the rules, and Brother Yu Wang is afraid that I will get into trouble outside."

King Rui saw that they were chatting happily with each other, and he had no chance to interrupt, so he had to leave in embarrassment.

Prince Jin caught a glimpse of Prince Rui leaving and sneered in his heart. He came here just because he saw them talking.

He said calmly, "This prince is very familiar with Shengjing. If the young lady is willing, this prince can accompany you around."

Yueying had been on guard the whole time. Upon hearing this, she quickly winked at Taoyao, indicating that she should go find Chu Xuanchi and his wife.

Everyone knew that there were many people in the Prince of Jin's backyard. It would be difficult for the maids to handle the invitation to an unmarried woman, so they could only ask their master to come.

Tao Yao didn't dare to delay and walked back quickly. Fortunately, they didn't walk too far and could see Chu Xuanchi and his wife here, so they wouldn't get lost.

Mu Xueyan also declined the offer, "I'm afraid this is not a good idea. Men and women should be careful about what they do. If we go out alone, it will easily be misunderstood."

She just wasn't as reserved as the women in Shengjing, and wouldn't travel with a man she just met, unless she was really shameless.

The King of Jin smiled with a slightly devilish smile, "Men and women cannot meet in private. When you and I go out, we have maids and guards following us. How can we be considered a single man and a single woman?"

"Is that so?" Mu Xueyan really wanted to go out, and her heart was moved when she heard that. "How about I go back and ask Brother Yu Wang first?"

Prince Jin took two steps forward and came to her. "Young lady, since you are a free person, there is no need for you to ask others about everything."

Mu Xueyan subconsciously stepped back, but saw him suddenly stretch out his arm and casually pick a green peony beside her.

He handed the flower to Mu Xueyan, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "When the flowers are in bloom, they must be picked. Flowers go with beauties, and a beauty is pleasing to the eye."

Mu Xueyan did not answer. "Brother Yu Wang is not someone else. He is my sworn brother. Before my mother died, she told me to listen to my sworn brother."

Since this is the favorite flower of King Rui, how could she show it off in public? What if people misunderstood that she picked it? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

The Prince of Jin played with the flowers in his hand, "As the saying goes, a life-saving favor requires a life-saving gesture. Since your fifth brother has been saved by your mother, why don't you marry me?"
