"Your Highness, you're back!" Mu Peiyun narrowed her eyes lazily, but happened to see that familiar figure walking towards the courtyard. She immediately perked up and smiled happily.
This was the first time she saw him in the mansion after her marriage to Mu Yunchen.
"Yeah." Mu Yunchen nodded expressionlessly and came to her side: "It's hot outside, why don't you stay inside?"
"It's okay, thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's windy outside." Mu Peiyun looked at Mu Yunchen with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yunchen didn't even open his mouth, just hummed "oh", and then didn't say anything else.
This made Mu Peiyun feel lost instantly. They had both had physical intimacy on their wedding night, but why did she always feel that there was a sense of distance between her and Mu Yunchen?
But Mu Peiyun would never have thought that Mu Yunchen was just a little shy and didn't know what to say.
"I have something else to do. I'll go to the study. If you feel tired, go and rest. I'll come back later to have dinner with you."
After saying that, Mu Yunchen turned and left. Perhaps he also noticed the unclear atmosphere between the two of them.
Hearing this, Mu Peiyun's mouth curled up again. Mu Yunchen's words made her mood fluctuate.
He said he would come back later to have dinner with her! This was the first time in the past few days that he had taken the initiative to say that he wanted to accompany her.
Mu Peiyun was so happy that she only thought about it. When Mu Yunchen was almost out of the yard, she finally remembered to shout, "Your Highness, you are going to the study. Can I go and grind ink for you?"
When Sujiu and Suniang behind him heard this, their faces were full of surprise. Grinding ink? Isn't this the job of servants? How dare the Crown Princess do it herself?
But Mu Peiyun didn't care about so many things. She had finally caught him in the mansion, so naturally she wanted to stay with him more. Otherwise, how could she cultivate feelings?
Mu Yunchen obviously didn't expect Mu Peiyun to say that. His expression was slightly stunned, but his steps stopped subconsciously.
After a while, he uttered: "As long as you don't find it boring."
After getting the reply, Mu Peiyun seemed to be overjoyed instantly and got down from the rocking chair nimbly. She was no longer sleepy at this time.
How can it be boring? Everything is fun with him.
Mu Peiyun followed Mu Yunchen like a tail, jumping and skipping. Mu Yunchen pretended to be calm and walked in front with steady steps.
But looking at the lively and cheerful shadow beside him in the sunlight, he couldn't help but smile.
"Your Highness, what have you been busy with these days? It's not easy for me to see you in your mansion."
Mu Peiyun just casually asked where he was going and what he was busy with. As long as he didn't want to say, he didn't need to tell her.
But Mu Yunchen took it seriously after hearing this.
"Is there something the Crown Princess wants to see me about?"
Mu Peiyun waved her hands quickly: "No, no, I just felt that I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm afraid that Your Highness may be tired and hurt your health."
Mu Yunchen stopped writing, looked up at her and said slowly: "I have some things to do. I will accompany you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion after I finish them."
Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? When did she say she wanted to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Could it be that Your Highness was talking about going back to her parents' home? But marrying the prince does not require going back to her parents' home.
Seeing Mu Peiyun stunned after hearing what he said, Mu Yunchen felt that his guess was correct, although there was no saying that royal children had to marry their wives back home.
But she is a girl after all. If she gets married suddenly and leaves home, she will miss her parents a little.
Mu Peiyun came back to her senses and saw Mu Yunchen staring at her. She smiled at him awkwardly. She wanted to find a topic to talk about, so she pointed at the document in front of Mu Yunchen and asked, "What are you reading, Your Highness?"
After saying this, Mu Peiyun immediately regretted it. She had just married him, and she asked him about his work. Wouldn't this make him think that she had ulterior motives?
"The list of envoys from the Lige tribe." Mu Yunchen didn't think too much about it. From what he saw, the Crown Princess didn't have any bad intentions, she was just a little curious.
Moreover, husband and wife are one body. Since she has married him, she would not have any other thoughts.
"Hmm?" Mu Peiyun was a little surprised. Envoy? Perhaps she was thinking about Mu Yunchen and forgot that at this time in her previous life, an envoy did present gifts to the Emperor of Mu.
"The Lige tribe sent their Princess Arina this time. According to my father, the princess wants to find a husband in Mu Country just like Concubine Shu did, so as to continue the friendship between the two countries."
"Didn't the Crown Princess say that she hasn't seen me? Father has entrusted me with the task of receiving the envoys. I've been busy these past few days and have neglected you."
Mu Peiyun suddenly felt a little scared, and his hand subconsciously pressed on the table, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
In the previous life, Mu Yunchen was depressed for some time because of her refusal of marriage. It was during this period that the Lige tribe sent people to the Mu Kingdom, and Mu Yunyu took advantage of this mission.
And in this life, because she did not refuse the marriage, after she and Mu Yunchen got married naturally, this task returned to him.
So the turning point of everything was when she believed the slander, trusted the wrong person, and refused the marriage, which led to her family suffering and Mu Yunchen losing his life.
Everything was her fault, but the outcome was determined from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Mu Peiyun's eyes were gradually wet with tears. So even if she tried her best to make it up to him in this life, she could not make up for the harm she had done to him.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying for no reason?" Mu Yunchen was frightened by her sudden change of mood, and quickly stood up and wanted to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Before her hand touched Mu Peiyun's, she held it: "Your Highness, I just feel sorry for you working day and night, nothing else."
Yes, there is nothing else. How can she tell Mu Yunchen that she has lived a new life? How can Mu Yunchen believe it?
Even if Mu Yunchen believed it, how could she say it out loud? She said that she owed him in her previous life and she came to make it up to him after she realized her mistake in this life.
Belated affection is cheaper than grass. Why should others care about your self-deceiving compensation?
The moment Mu Peiyun held his hand, Mu Yunchen subconsciously lowered his eyelids, as if the air around him had become quiet, leaving only the touch of their fingertips.
He didn't know what was wrong with him recently. Even though he was running between the palace and the Sifang Pavilion, whenever he had free time, his mind would appear with the woman who was already fast asleep when he returned to the bedroom late at night.
"I am not tired. This is my duty as a minister and a son. If the friendship between the two countries can last for a long time, it will benefit the people of Muguo and Lige more than it will harm them."
Mu Peiyun had managed to hold back her tears, but they became wet again because of Mu Yunchen's words.
Why was she so stupid in her previous life? Look, he was supposed to inherit the world. He was the only prince who would truly consider the people of the world. How could Mu Yunyu be even one-tenth as good as him?
