Chapter 76: Dire Straits

"Are you..." Mu Xiuhan frowned and stared at Shen Huifu for a long time, "Shen Yushi's daughter?"

"yes."

"Why are you here?"

"I invited her to chat." Yan Li raised her eyes and spoke slowly, "Your Highness, you don't need to copy scriptures today?"

Mu Xiuhan's expression turned green: "Yan Li!"

Yan Li sneered.

"Let me ask you, did you instigate Nanny Yan and Nanny Li to deliberately target Jingyue?" Mu Xiuhan straightened his back and looked at Yan Li with disgust, "I was born in the Jiang family and grew up in the Jiang family. In the Jiang family, the Jiang family provides you with food and shelter. Even if you are not grateful at all, you should never repay kindness with enmity! Yan Li, are you a white-eyed wolf? "

Shen Huifu stood aside, frowning slightly, unable to believe that the prince still had such an attitude.

Princess Nanyang is already the young fiancée of the Ninth Prince. Even if it is just for the sake of the Ninth Prince, the prince should not be so unreasonable.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so out of control. This is not the demeanor that a prince of a country should have." Yan Li glanced at Mu Xiuhan casually, and the curve of his lips raised seemed to be mocking, "Instead of getting angry and questioning here, the Crown Prince should ask Ask the two nuns who instigated them to teach Jiang Jingyue the rules?"

Mu Xiuhan's expression suddenly darkened.

Of course he knew that the two aunts were here on orders, but how could his father know that the Jiang family's legitimate daughter had "misbehaved" when he was staying in the palace? Didn’t you believe Yan Li’s instigation?

"If you hadn't been talking nonsense in front of Uncle Nine Emperors, why would Father think that Jingyue was misbehaving?" Mu Xiuhan looked at Yan Li with cold eyes, as if he had already concluded that she was a villain who stirred up dissension, "Yan Li Li, I don’t want to marry you. You should look for the reasons within yourself instead of making things difficult for Jingyue. She is your cousin and she has loved you as a biological sister since she was a child. Why do you want to marry her again and again? Is she in trouble?"

Yan Li's expression softened slightly and she looked at him without saying a word.

"Now that you are a princess, your status is no worse than that of Jingyue. Is this compensation not enough for you? How on earth are you going to let her go?" Mu Xiu coldly hissed, "If you are really just jealous that she snatched her away As the Crown Princess, I can agree to let you be the concubine——"

"Mu Xiuhan." Yan Li frowned and interrupted him unhurriedly, with a hint of subtlety in her tone, "Did you look in the mirror before you came here?"

Mu Xiuhan was startled: "What did you say?"

"If you don't look in the mirror, I can lend you the mirror in my room." Yan Li pointed to the direction of the dressing table, "The prince just acted like a shrew and scolded the street, without even a trace of the responsibility and demeanor of a prince. Do you really think I like you? I don’t even care about the concubine.”

"Yan Li, you are so presumptuous!" Jiang Tingyi finally caught the opportunity and scolded him with a cold eyebrow, "Why don't you hurry up and apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yan Li raised the corners of her lips and looked up sarcastically at Jiang Tingyi who was finally able to "feel proud" and said, "Jiang Tingyi, when did you become the eunuch beside the prince?"

Isn’t it true that the power of a fox and a tiger has always been reserved for slaves? When did a young master from aristocratic families develop such a hobby?

Jiang Tingyi's face turned red: "Yan Li!"

"Yan Li." Mu Xiuhan's eyes were cold, and the disgust in his eyes became stronger. "Even if my father makes you a princess, you shouldn't be so arrogant. I am the crown prince of the Mu Kingdom. Not only do you not be polite when you see me, And so arrogant——"

"The Ninth Prince is here!"

A high-pitched and long-drawn voice from outside suddenly interrupted the prince's self-righteousness.

Mu Xiuhan's unfinished words were all stuck in his throat. A trace of panic flashed across his face, and he turned to look at Jiang Tingyi: "Why are Uncle Nine Emperors here?"

How did Jiang Tingyi know why the Ninth Prince arrived suddenly?

Jiang Tingyi felt an indescribable disappointment in Mu Cang when he thought that the last time he came to Jiang's house, he attacked Ting Yan indiscriminately, causing Ting Yan to miss this year's autumn.

He was obviously a prince with a military power of 300,000, but he was obsessed with Yan Li, an orphan girl, and lost all principles. I really don't know how he got his achievements in those years.

Today was such a coincidence. Was it because he knew that the prince had also arrived at the Jiang family and came here specifically to support Yan Li?

While Jiang Tingyi was thinking about this, the imperial guards and servants outside were already kneeling on the ground: "See the Ninth Prince!"

Grandma An led several maids to kneel beside the door and bowed their heads to welcome him.

Mu Xiuhan, as the crown prince, turned around respectfully and greeted him: "Uncle Nine Emperors."

Mu Cang raised his feet and stepped into the threshold. His cold eyes looked around the room, and finally fell on Mu Xiuhan's face: "Princess Nanyang is now my fiancée. Does the prince know the rules about men and women not being intimate?" "

Mu Xiuhan's expression changed: "Uncle Emperor, I..."

"Even though the wedding has not yet been held, she is already your royal aunt in name." Mu Cang's eyes were unkind, and the coldness in his voice was chilling. Do you take it seriously and don’t take the rules and ethics into consideration?”

Mu Xiuhan's face turned pale, and he quickly lowered his head to apologize: "My nephew, that's not what I meant. Please look into it carefully, Uncle Nine Emperors."

"Do you think this king is deaf?"

Mu Xiuhan was cold all over and couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Jiang Tingyi tried to explain: "Ninth Prince Rongzhen——"

"I didn't ask you to speak." Mu Cang's cold eyes turned to Jiang Tingyi's face, his eyes were cold and biting, "It seems that you didn't take anything I said before."

Jiang Tingyi's face turned pale and he immediately knelt down: "I know I was wrong."

"I will tell the emperor about today's events truthfully." Mu Cang said in a stern tone, leaving no room for doubt. "In front of the emperor, I'm afraid the prince will have to explain himself."

"Uncle." Mu Xiuhan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he became more humble. "My nephew knows his mistake. I was just angry just now. I didn't mean to offend Princess Nanyang. I beg you to calm down. I will apologize to Princess Nanyang now."

As he said that, he turned and walked to Yan Li, bowing deeply: "I just spoke rudely to the little aunt. I really shouldn't. I beg the little aunt to be magnanimous and not to be angry with me."

Yan Li raised her eyebrows: "The attitude of the prince just now is really different from now."

Mu Xiuhan clenched his hands, annoyed at her lack of respect, but did not dare to anger Mu Cang at this critical moment.

Although he has been named the crown prince, the other princes are all strong rivals, and no one can be sure who will become the emperor in the end.

Which of the princes in the court would not be respectful when seeing the Ninth Prince?

Mu Xiuhan did not dare to offend him for the time being.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so flexible, Your Majesty should not bother with him." Yan Li smiled faintly, "But I have a condition."
