"Not for now."

Chu Li made a sound, laughed lowly, and said again, "The time has not come yet."

Mu Yunjin understood Chu Li's meaning and nodded slightly, "Then this matter is known in advance, you know and I know."

"Hmm." The corners of Chu Li's lips twitched slightly.

...

Before going to sleep, Mu Yunjin was still sleepy. Thinking of the upcoming sacrificial ceremony, she opened her mouth, "Is this sacrificial ceremony a sacrifice to the ancestors?"

"Well, the sacrificial ceremony will be held every two years. This year, because Chu Ye ascended the throne, it was held earlier." Chu Li replied warmly.

Mu Yunjin hummed.

"There are a lot of people at the sacrificial ceremony, so it's fine for you to stay in the mansion. This king is reluctant to let you stand outside and suffer for a day." After Chu Li said, his arms holding Mu Yunjin tightened.

Mu Yunjin curled up the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, her body was pressed against Chu Li, and indistinctly, there was another fiery feeling in her stomach.

Sensing this strange feeling, Mu Yunjin looked down subconsciously, and did not see any red light today, but her stomach was hot and swollen. This kind of bloated feeling seemed to swell at any moment.

Mu Yunjin frowned, and reached out to caress her stomach.

The moment her hand touched her belly, she could clearly feel the child in her belly kicking her.

"Hiss..." The kick was not light, and Mu Yunjin suddenly cried out in pain.

"What's wrong? Did you kick you again?" Chu Li sat up, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Mu Yunjin nodded, and with that kick, the fiery feeling gradually disappeared.

Afterwards, Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li miserably, "Let me tell you, this baby is definitely a boy..."

...

The next day, Chu Li rarely had to enter the palace.

In his spare time, he saw that Mu Yunjin often stayed in the mansion and did not go out recently, so he took her to Shuiyun Temple for a walk to relax.

After arriving at Shuiyun Temple, the two of them did not rush to find Master Huaiyuan, but took a stroll around first.

Today's Houshan is full of flowers.

As soon as Mu Yunjin stepped into the back mountain, she could smell the fragrance of flowers.

After holding back in the mansion for a long time without going out, Mu Yunjin took several breaths in a row, and stretched contentedly.

"I have to go to the Buddhist hall to pray for blessings, but I was interrupted by those thieves last time." Mu Yunjin took Chu Li's arm, walked out of the back mountain, and walked towards the Buddhist hall.

Chu Li smiled and went to the Buddhist hall with her.

When she came to the Buddhist hall in front, Mu Yunjin found that there were still many people who came to burn incense and worship Buddha today.

The long line at the bottom was all lined up at the gate again.

"Let's go later?" Chu Li looked down at Mu Yunjin, his tone soft.

Mu Yunjin nodded.

When the two came to the gate of the Zen courtyard, they were told that Master Huaiyuan was in retreat for the past few days, and it would take another five days to leave the retreat.

Mu Yunjin sighed, turned her gaze, and caught a glimpse of the ancient tree not far away, "Let's go there and rest for a while."

"Yeah." Chu Li led her and walked over.

Before he reached the courtyard of the ancient tree, he saw many palace guards standing at the gate of the courtyard from a distance.

Unable to help, Mu Yunjin and Chu Li looked at each other, and then walked over slowly.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Ning, and Concubine Ning." The guard guarding the gate recognized Chu Li and Mu Yunjin, and when they saw them, they immediately bowed down.

"Who did you follow?" Mu Yunjin asked.

Hearing this, the guard said, "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Rui came to offer incense and pray for blessings today, and they are now making wishes in the courtyard of the thousand-year-old tree."

Queen and Empress Dowager Rui...

Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, and realized that today the Shuiyun Temple really came by mistake, there were people everywhere.

Originally wanted to leave first, and then enter the courtyard of the ancient tree, but Li Yingxuan and Queen Mother Rui inside had already made their wish and walked to the door, and happened to see Chu Li and Mu Yunjin at the door.

"Li'er, Yunjin..." Empress Dowager Rui said in surprise.

Li Yingxuan followed, and when she saw the two, she nodded to them as a greeting.

Mu Yunjin twitched the corners of her mouth and bowed symbolically, "Hello Empress Dowager Rui, hello Empress Dowager."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?" Empress Dowager Rui looked at Mu Yunjin's stomach and smiled.

Mu Yunjin nodded and didn't say much.

"I've always wanted to meet Princess Ning, but I never had the chance. Now I meet Princess Ning here. I don't know if Princess Ning has any spare time. Would you like to chat with me?" Li Yingxuan looked at Mu Yunjin with a smile on her face. In front of Mu Yunjin, she did not claim to be her own.

When Mu Yunjin heard this, she couldn't refuse for a while, because Li Yingxuan was the mother of a country after all, and because there were so many people around, it seemed that it would not be good for her to save the new queen.

So, smiled and nodded.

"That's great, there is a pavilion next to it, shall we go there?" Li Yingxuan pointed to a pavilion beside her.

Mu Yunjin hummed, and walked over with Li Yingxuan.

Chu Li's eyes kept falling on Mu Yunjin's body. Even though he knew that Li Yingxuan was harmless, he was still worried.

Seeing Chu Li's appearance, the Queen Mother Rui couldn't help but smiled, and said with emotion, "Before Aijia, I really couldn't imagine that Li Er, you will be so tender to a woman now."

Chu Li can be considered as she grew up watching, although she is indifferent by nature and not very close to her, but she understands Chu Li's temperament to some extent.

Now that the children around her are growing up one by one, getting married and having children, she realizes that she is really old...

...

In the gazebo.

"Some time ago, Concubine Ning helped me in the Plum Blossom Garden, and I haven't thanked you formally until now." As soon as she sat down, Li Yingxuan raised the corners of her lips and looked at Mu Yunjin with a smile.

Mu Yunjin smiled slightly, "It's a trivial matter, don't keep it in mind."

"It's not a trivial matter. Without that matter, maybe I wouldn't be in this position today." Li Yingxuan smiled slightly.

When she was young, her father, Li Mingzhong, was only a ninth-rank sesame official, but after nearly ten years, she was promoted to a seventh-rank county magistrate. Over the years, she was always the most inconspicuous among a bunch of rich officials.

Even, some gatherings of official daughters, as well as some large-scale banquets in the palace, only invite the official daughters of the fifth rank or above.

She was also very surprised that she would be invited during that time in the Plum Blossom Court.

Speaking of which, if it wasn't because of that Bu Yao that there was an episode, she, Li Yingxuan, would never have been so 'in the limelight' in her life.

Mu Yunjin looked at the deep emotions in Li Yingxuan's eyes, and didn't know what to say.

"You sent me a lot of supplements and tonics a few days ago, I haven't had time to thank you." Mu Yunjin changed the subject and brought up this matter.

"It's nothing, you saved my life." Li Yingxuan winked at Mu Yunjin.

Mu Yunjin chuckled lightly.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, when she was about to leave, she heard Li Yingxuan asked in a low voice, "It is said that you and His Highness Prince Ning have not met a few times before getting married, so did you have a bridal chamber on the night of getting married?"

"..." Fortunately, Mu Yunjin didn't drink any water.

"My question may be presumptuous, that is... even if the emperor doesn't touch me now, and doesn't ask me to sleep with me, I don't know if there is something wrong." Li Yingxuan frowned.

When Mu Yunjin heard the words, she understood what Li Yingxuan meant.

Seeing Li Yingxuan frowning in deep thought, Mu Yunjin rolled her eyes and gave Chu Ye a reason, "That's because you are only fifteen years old, and you haven't reached the age to leave the court."

After the words fell, Mu Yunjin felt that her reasoning was really great!

"So it's like this...that's right...I haven't reached the age to leave the court." Li Yingxuan was also enlightened, and her brows eased all of a sudden.

Mu Yunjin realized that Li Yingxuan was also a cute girl, so she smiled, "I still have some things to do, so I'm leaving first."

Li Yingxuan nodded.

...

When they returned to the ancient tree yard, the guards at the gate had already withdrawn.

Chu Li had already entered inside, and was sitting under the old tree at the moment, waiting for Mu Yunjin to come over.

As soon as Mu Yunjin stepped into the courtyard, she saw a dark figure sitting under the ancient tree from a distance, and the rare Mo Qilin was beside her.

At this moment, Chu Li was stroking Mo Qilin's head with a slight smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, Mu Yunjin's footsteps froze in place, mist appeared in her eyes, and then tears rolled down from her eyes...

secretary...

Brother Qing...

"Aww..."

Mo Qilin found Mu Yunjin and howled softly.

Mu Yunjin immediately turned around and wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, turned around and approached the ancient tree.

Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin's red eyes, obviously she had just cried, couldn't help but frowned, sat up, bent over to look at her, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it was windy outside just now, and the sand blew into my eyes." Mu Yunjin made up a bad excuse.

Chu Li actually believed it. He held her cheeks and carefully checked her eyes. After finding nothing unusual, he led her to sit beside her.

As soon as Mu Yunjin sat down, she tilted her head and leaned on Chu Li's shoulder, her heart gradually relaxed.

At the same time, the hot and swollen feeling in the stomach loomed again.

Mu Yunjin gently stroked her stomach, and found that this feeling has become more and more frequent in the past two days, but Sister Qingmeng said that the fetal images are normal.

So what is the situation?

After thinking about it, that feeling gradually disappeared.

Mu Yunjin also settled down, raised her eyes, and saw a few paper kites in the air not far away.

"Chu Li, have you ever played with that?" Mu Yunjin pointed to the paper kite in mid-air.

Chu Li raised his eyes, looked over, then shook his head, "No."

"I haven't played before." Mu Yunjin sighed slightly.

When she was very young, she entered the secret service organization training. When her peers were flying kites and squeezing mud, she was already learning various fighting skills and killing people with guns.

At that time, when she was training in the training ground, she would always see kites floating outside the field and faintly hear the laughter of some children.

And she couldn't join those...

"Want to play?" Seeing longing in her eyes, Chu Li smiled lowly and looked at Mu Yunjin.

Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes and nodded, "I think so."

"Let's go." Chu Li got up, bent down and helped Mu Yunjin up.

Mu Yunjin followed beside Chu Li, and the two of them left the courtyard of the ancient tree together.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard of the ancient tree, Ding Xian popped up with a dignified expression, "Your Highness, just now the nine princesses went to ask the emperor for a marriage order, saying that they would marry Qin Munan!"
