Chapter 260: If you have something to ask for

Zhu Gaoxu came to Liyuan today to meet Chen Xu; he did not expect to meet Mu Sheng's eldest daughter Mu Zhen in advance. Mu Zhen must have something to do.

He buried his head and tinkered with his own hands the Kung Fu tea utensils on the marble table, and looked up at Mu Zhen from time to time.

The little girl in front of her would make Zhu Gaoxu think of the climate in Yunnan.

It is clear and bright on sunny days, but it is covered with dark clouds on rainy days.

When she first met Mu Zhen, she was much more cheerful and generous than ordinary ladies; but now she is probably in a rainy day, which makes people feel very solemn.

Her peach-hearted face and delicate chin make her facial features look very delicate, and also makes her eyes look big and the emotions exposed in her eyes are extra obvious.

What she felt was all written in that pair of big eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu sat and Mu Zhen stood.For a while, they didn't say anything, and Zhu Gaoxu felt a little embarrassed.He was not inconvenient to ask more questions, so he picked up a small cup and said: Miss Mu, do you like to drink green tea?

Mu Zhen replied: I won’t drink tea anymore.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: Green tea can be soaked in boiling water, just boil water and rinse it in, so you don’t have to be so particular.

Mu Zhen didn't say anything, looking like she wanted to speak but stopped.After a while, she finally said: Your Highness, King of Han, please help my father?

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and thought to himself: It's true.He had already vaguely guessed that this was the case.

He was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: My identity in Yunnan is indeed very high, but many people look down on me too highly.What will happen to Mu's mansion? It's not something I can say. Miss Mu understands it?

Mu Zhen suddenly lowered her head, bit her teeth and suddenly knelt down.

useless.Zhu Gaoxu stood up, Miss Mu, I really didn’t lie to you!I say this to everyone, and it is the truth.Hu Yi wanted to investigate Jianwen in order to make meritorious and promote his official position; I helped Hu Yi in order to obey his father's order and imperial edict.But to this day, the matter in Dali has been reported to the capital, so who can still interfere?

Whatever Your Highness wants is fine... Mu Zhen buried her head, her voice choked.

Zhu Gaoxu heard something strange and then observed that her shoulders were shaking slightly.

He was speechless and said everything he should say.

He did not coax Mu Zhen. Now he himself is still worried, waiting for the emperor above to re-arrange his Yunnan... Who else can be there and what way can he affect the emperor's will?

I got up and talked, and it was really unruly to perform this great gift.Zhu Gaoxu can only say.

At this moment, Mu Zhen slowly stood up.He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Mu Zhen sobbed: I have nothing to give to Your Highness…

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said: Why doesn’t Miss Mu believe me? I'm not doing anything good at this time. I have no grudge with the Mu family. Since you have spoken, I will naturally help you. But what Miss Mu asks is no longer something I can do.

As long as I can save my father, I can even refuse my life.Mu Zhen's voice has changed, and it makes people feel sad.She paused for a moment, suddenly raised her head and said, I still have something...

After she said that, her hands trembled and stretched out to her back, her little face turned red and white.Then he turned his head and looked at the closed door.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu guessed what she was going to do. He was very surprised for a moment... After a while, he came to his senses: Damn!

My reputation for being lustful and lewd in the capital must have been spread to Yunnan.

Therefore, Mu Zhen thinks he is a hungry ghost in lust!

He raised his hand to stop it, but it was too far away and blurted out: Slowly!

However, it was too late. Mu Zhen had already pulled a few laces one after another. The blue lapel robe outside fell on her ankles, revealing the pink bellyband inside.

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened, his whole body stiffened, and his expression had become quite ugly.

The material of the silk bellyband is very soft and a little translucent. The pink color is the color that many girls like and looks very fresh and tender.

Her exposed neck and flawless goose yellow skin on her collarbone was exactly the same as the silk material.

Zhu Gaoxu was blinded by the sight of such a scene and his mind was blank for a moment.

When he came to his senses, Mu Zhen even pulled the strap behind the silk material open, and the soft and smooth silk quietly fell to her feet.

This... Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand, as if he wanted to pick up her clothes, but it was too late.Mu Zhen's face and ears were red, and she stood there, her body trembling.

What's this?

Zhu Gaoxu was not confused yet. No matter what, Mu Zhen was always the eldest daughter of the Marquis and a lady who had not yet been married.

If he did that, where would he put the Mu family’s face?

It seems to be too much!

Besides, Zhu Gaoxu really can't decide what Mu Sheng is doing. Isn't that cheating on her innocence?Now he felt that his prince Bigg had fallen all over the floor!

Is it good to wear clothes first?Zhu Gaoxu said in surprise.

Mu Zhen said in a trembling voice: I didn’t give any benefits to Your Highness, why should Your Highness help us? Don't worry, I won't say it...

Zhu Gaoxu took two steps forward and wanted to put it on her by himself, but after thinking about it, he stopped again. It seemed even worse to get closer and touch her at this time.

He hurriedly said: Can't I agree?I will do my best to find a way for the Queen of Xiping!

What Your Highness said seriously?Mu Zhen wrapped her arms around her chest.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Mu Zhen hurriedly leaned over and picked up the clothes on the ground, put them on in panic, making a rustling sound.Her hands were shaking and she didn't wear them well for a while.

After she finally finished tidying up, Zhu Gaoxu let out a long sigh. He walked back to the front of the chair and sat down all of a sudden.

He glanced at the marble table in front of him, picked up a teacup, raised his head and drank it all.

Your Highness... Mu Zhen looked flushed and looked at him quietly.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't speak for a long time and continued to pour tea from the teapot.

I don’t know how long it took, but the wooden door rang. There were three knocks on the door, and Wang Gui said in his voice: I have something to ask for my opinion.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Mu Zhen who was already dressed and said: Come in.

Wang Gui pushed open the door and bowed inside.

Mu Zhen in the room turned around and hid from Wang Gui.

But Wang Gui didn't dare to look around, as if he didn't notice Mu Zhen. He bent over and walked straight to Zhu Gaoxu.

Wang Gui clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: A group of officials sent by the capital to Annan Kingdom have just arrived in Kunming City.The accompanying cabinet official, Hu Guang, the son of Youchunfang, came to the Han Palace to see the prince.

Hu Guang?Zhu Gaoxu pondered, this person was an official of the Hanlin Academy and a member of the cabinet. Moreover, he voluntarily surrendered to his father, so he should not be sent to Annan Kingdom?What did he come to Yunnan for...

yes.Wang Gui echoed.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up, walked two steps in place, and said: Immediately send someone to talk to Mrs. Chen, if she hasn't arrived at the Pear Garden, she will ask someone to go to Chen's mansion. I apologize to her, I left in advance and discuss matters with her next time.

Wang Gui said: I will do it immediately.

Zhu Gaoxu continued to think about it... He had never met Hu Guang, but had heard interesting stories about private rumors in the officialdom.

It is said that during the Jingnan Battle, Hu Guang yelled to die for his country; when the Jingnan Army really entered Beijing, before he left that morning, he told his family to be optimistic about the pigs at home!

This sentence was once circulated as a joke.

But these did not affect Hu Guang's reusability by Jin Shang, and what Jin Shang valued was his attitude of voluntarily surrendering.People like Chen Ying were even criticized as scum in the officialdom. Isn’t they still value it today?

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Mu Zhen and said: I want to go back to the mansion now. If Miss Mu doesn’t mind, please follow me to the Han Palace?

Mu Zhen's eyes looked very panicked, as if there was humiliation, regret and worry. She lowered her head and asked: Your Highness...what do you want to do?

Don't do anything.Zhu Gaoxu replied.

Mu Zhen hesitated for a moment, her white teeth bit the light red and smooth red lips, and nodded vigorously: Go and Your Highness!

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu stood up and strode to the door.He saw Mu Zhen’s big hat on the wooden table, so he picked it up and turned around and put it on Mu Zhen’s head: Put it on and follow me.

The two walked to the corridor outside, and soon all the guards in the surrounding houses came out and followed Zhu Gaoxu and others to leave the house.

The Yi girl wearing colorful clothes also followed outside the house.

After walking out of the pear garden, Zhu Gaoxu asked the Yi tribe to get on the carriage.The three of them drove in the same car and headed towards the north gate of the Han Palace.Zhu Gaoxu was a little silent and frowned and thought about things.

I don’t know how long it took, but the little lady of the Yi tribe said: We thought His Highness the King of Han was celebrating. Do you seem to have something to worry about?

Mu Zhen immediately glared at the little girl, raised her hand and said, "A sister doesn't know much etiquette, please forgive me."

Well... Zhu Gaoxu responded.

After a moment, Mu Zhen asked carefully: Did that official named Hu Guang come for the Mu family?

Zhu Gaoxu replied: It’s not very certain now, I’ll know after seeing you.

Mu Zhen said again: If Hu Guang came for the Mu Mansion, he would definitely ask His Highness to take action.For my...as far as your Highness can tell me?

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: OK.

The carriage and horse entered the Han Palace from Guangzhi Gate, and then stopped before they arrived in front of the front hall.Zhu Gaoxu got off the carriage and said to Wang Gui who was driving the carriage: Take them to the study in the east.

Wang Gui said: I obey the order.

Zhu Gaoxu said to Chen Dahui again: Go and tell Qian Changshi or Li Changshi. After two minutes, please invite Hu Gechen to Chengyun Hall to meet.

Chen Dahui clasped his fists and replied: I'm sure you'll do it!

After arranging the matter, Zhu Gaoxu walked straight to Chengyun Gate. He had to change his clothes first to meet the officials from the capital.

Regardless of whether the current cabinet has power or not, these people are going to return to Beijing to meet the saint. It is not a bad thing for Zhu Gaoxu to pay a little attention to etiquette.
