When she thought of this, Mu Jin abandoned Zhao Chengyuan without hesitation.
Although this prince is very exciting, if the price of this excitement is to give up her current comfortable life, then she is not willing to do so.
After all, love is just the icing on the cake for her. If she wants to give up her current bread because of love, then she would rather never have the so-called love.
Mu Jin is a very down-to-earth person. Zhao Chengyuan doesn't know Mu Jin's thoughts, nor does he understand his mother's thoughts. He is obviously focused on making himself the king, his mother wants to find a concubine for him, and Cui Xi actually wants to be him These things happened to my concubine.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to have any affection for Cui Xi, but the fact that her mother wanted to find him a concubine also gave him a sense of crisis.
In general, he still has a very innocent temperament. Even if he holds Hibiscus's hand, he will blush for a long time.
Therefore, he did not want a concubine, and of course he did not want Mujin to be his concubine. After all, he felt that asking Mujin to be a concubine would not be an insult to her.
Even if he can't get married to a matchmaker, Hibiscus should still be his concubine, just like how Liang Wang's brother married his beloved woman.
But it is a pity that although brother Liang Wang married the woman he loved, he failed to protect her.
The main concubine, Mrs. Xu, had a jealous temper, so she only let the woman whom Liang Wang's brother liked die.
When he thought of this, he only felt that he had wronged Mu Jin by being a concubine. If he could marry only Princess Jin like his brother Jin did, then he would not wrong Mu Jin. But he also knew in his heart that although he I feel that Hibiscus deserves the best, but in the eyes of outsiders, Hibiscus is not suitable for me, so it is almost impossible to become a concubine.
When he thought of this, Zhao Chengyuan felt disappointed again. It would be great if he were an ordinary person. If he were an ordinary person, he and Sister Mujin might not have so much resistance.
Mu Jin didn't know that Zhao Chengyuan had so many random thoughts on his own.
Concubine Qi, on the other hand, saw her son looking happy and sad at one moment, as if she was falling into some kind of sentimental mood.
"Yuan'er, what are you thinking about?" Concubine Qi couldn't help but ask.
When asked by his mother, Zhao Chengyuan immediately sat down and said straightly, "Mom, I don't want to be a concubine."
Concubine Qi only said coldly, "If you don't want to be a concubine, you think it's your fault. If you don't have anything to offer, if you can't even do this kind of thing well, the outside world will really laugh at you."
When saying this, Concubine Qi only hinted, "Besides, even if I don't arrange a concubine for you, your father will reward you with a concubine as a rule."
"I'm not like your father. If you have any maids you like, you can tell me and I can make them your concubines." What Concubine Qi said actually had some hints.
Her son is so stupid, and mother and son are connected, how could she not see that Zhao Chengyuan likes Mu Jin.
But in the past, she always felt that Zhao Chengyuan was still young, so she didn't consider this matter.
And now that he is about to become a king and open a palace, he will soon meet his wife.
Therefore, Concubine Qi also wanted to keep someone around her son.
Her son likes hibiscus, which is a good thing for her.
After all, Hibiscus is smart and kind-hearted. If he could have Hibiscus by his side, he would be much smarter.
But she never expected to face such a hint from her, but Zhao Chengyuan still said loudly, "Mother, I don't want a concubine, I don't need it. Besides, didn't you say before that drinking, sex, wealth and wealth are harmful to the body? If I get too close to those women, Wouldn’t it turn into a useless person?”
Zhao Chengyuan's words made Concubine Qi's face darken. She replied without even thinking, "You don't have a woman, so you're just a loser. Tell me, besides tinkering with your cooking skills, what else do you do?"
"I can also make cherry cheese." Zhao Chengyuan whispered.
However, when Concubine Qi heard what he said, she almost laughed angrily, "Cherry cheese, so what if you can make cherry cheese? Your father's assessment is not to test whether the cherry cheese you make looks good or tastes good."
He was belittled by Concubine Qi. Zhao Chengyuan immediately lowered his head in frustration and stopped talking.
When Concubine Qi saw that this boy was acting awkward, she just waved her hand and said, "It's okay, if you don't want to, just don't want to. I won't force you, but in front of your father,
Before, don't be stupid when the time comes. "
When he heard that his mother would no longer arrange for anyone to be given to him, Zhao Chengyuan's face lit up with joy and he just said "Hello".
Concubine Qi then glanced at Mu Jin and said, "Mu Jin, please take His Highness back."
Hibiscus, who had been standing nearby, looking at her nose and heart, was instantly startled.
In fact, Concubine Qi would occasionally ask her to escort Zhao Chengyuan out of the palace on her behalf.
But because of Concubine Qi's advice and the fact that she and Zhao Chengyuan had something to do with each other, she felt extremely uneasy, fearing that she would accidentally be kicked out of the palace like Cui Xi.
Seeing Mu Jin's frightened look, Concubine Qi was curious and asked, "Mu Jin, why do you look like this?"
Mu Jin looked at Concubine Qi without saying anything, "It's nothing, I was thinking about other things just now."
"My servant will go see His Highness off immediately." Mu Jin whispered.
Concubine Qi nodded lightly.
Zhao Chengyuan was naturally very happy to be able to walk with Mu Jin. He followed Mu Jin, one behind the other.
After walking through the most crowded area of the Winter Palace, Hibiscus only stopped at a sparsely populated area.
Although it was hurtful, she still had to make it clear to Zhao Chengyuan.
"Your Highness, weren't you just asking me what I thought of you?" Mu Jin turned around and spoke proactively.
Zhao Chengyuan nodded and said, "Yes! Is Sister Mujin finally going to give me the answer?".
Hibiscus nodded slightly.
"Yes, I have thought about it for a long time. On the one hand, I feel happy to be liked by His Highness. I am flattered..."
"Sister Mujin, why do you say that? If I can win sister Mujin's favor, I will be the one who is flattered. Mujin, I think you are worthy of everything." Zhao Chengyuan couldn't help but interrupted Mujin's words, and only expressed his inner feelings. All thoughts were spoken.
Mu Jin looked at Zhao Chengyuan calmly, and then said softly, "Your Highness, can you let me finish my sentence?"
Zhao Chengyuan immediately nodded cooperatively.
Seeing Zhao Chengyuan's well-behaved appearance, Mu Jin only sighed in her heart. This little prince has been a simple-minded person since he was a child. If he likes him, he likes him, and if he doesn't like him, he doesn't like him. So she has no doubt about the prince's feelings for her. .
It's just that people with such simple personalities often cannot control their own future.
And although she thinks she has some tricks up her sleeve, her status is too humble. If her masters don't allow it, no matter how many tricks she has, it will be in vain.
She had seen the tragedy of Prince Liang and Su Zhirou before, so she didn't want to make that mistake again.
So after thinking about this, she only said to Zhao Chengyuan, "It's just that although it is an affirmation for me to be liked by His Highness, I know that my status is low and I am not worthy of Your Highness. I hope Your Highness can understand me."
"Why can't we match each other? Hibiscus, why are you so humble? In my heart, I am the one who is not worthy of you." Zhao Chengyuan said in an excited voice.
When saying this, Zhao Chengyuan only pulled Mu Jin, and Mu Jin was not surprised. She and Zhao Chengyuan had been together for so long. She still didn't know Zhao Chengyuan's personality.
She didn't struggle, but looked at Zhao Chengyuan with cold eyes: "Your Highness, you should understand that whether you are worthy or not is not yours alone."
"I don't have any big wishes. I just want to stay in the palace. Although my words may be cruel, I have no other place to go."
"Your Highness has a noble status. No matter how much you do, he is still His Majesty's son. As long as it is not a big mistake, even if you make a fool of me, neither Your Majesty nor the Queen will blame you. But if they refuse, you will not be blamed. , there has to be someone to blame, and I think that person should be me."
"Although thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, I really can't bear His Highness's favor." Mu Jin told Zhao Chengyuan, almost breaking apart and crushing everything that would happen to her.
Although Zhao Chengyuan is simple, he is not arrogant. As long as someone points out the interests to him, he will not rush to ask for help before he is fully sure.
And this is a very rare quality.
After Zhao Chengyuan listened to Mu Jin's words, the hand that was originally supporting Mu Jin's arm slowly relaxed. He whispered, "I understand.
Hibiscus, I'm sorry, I didn't think that much, it was me who troubled you. "
"Your Highness, your liking is not a problem for me, but if the queen doesn't agree, I won't dare to be with you rashly. You should have seen it today. That Cuixi just has some thoughts about you, and she doesn't care. We need to drive her away." Mu Jin comforted Zhao Chengyuan in a low voice.
However, Zhao Chengyuan, who was comforted in this way, became increasingly depressed.
Within a moment, his eyes turned red. He raised his head, and his handsome eyebrows showed a somewhat aggrieved look for just a moment. "I know that, I won't cause trouble to you Mujin, but sister Mujin , I really like you, I can’t control my feelings.”
Seeing Zhao Chengyuan like this, Mu Jin only felt moved for a moment. She took the initiative to give Zhao Chengyuan a hug, and then she whispered, "Your Highness, there will be someone more suitable for you than me. People will not love only one person in this life. Like This matter may be painful, but as long as you get through it, looking back, you will find that it is actually nothing.”
Zhao Chengyuan, who was held by Mu Jin, felt that Mu Jin was still the same as before. No matter what grievances he suffered or what happened, Mu Jin would comfort and hug him.
It's just that when he was young, he wouldn't feel sad as long as Hibiscus comforted him.
But now it is clear that Hibiscus has given him a lot of comfort, but Zhao Chengyuan still feels that this comfort can no longer comfort him.
But he didn’t want Mujin to worry too much about him, so even though he was crying with tears in his eyes, he still whispered, “Sister Mujin, don’t worry, I won’t let my love for you turn into trouble for you. After all, love is Restraint, am I right?”
