Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Looking at the girl in front of him, he walked closer and closer to her.

Mu Yanzong felt a little crazy when he saw it.

A pair of hot eyes seemed to completely wrap up Sister Jing Zhao.

Ye Jingzhao had already noticed something strange about Mu Yanzong in front of him.

She could only lower her head and pretend not to see it.

Her cheeks were already hot and red, and the heat spread all the way to the back of her ears, and then to her neck.

She wanted to slow down, but the countless scrutinizing eyes behind her forced her to speed up.

"Master Mu, let's go."

She finally reached Mu Yanzong's side. Seeing that he was still stunned, Ye Jingzhao spoke softly.

Mu Yanzong came back to his senses, with a strange blush on his face.

He coughed twice and eased the embarrassment on his face with a smile.

"Well, let's go."

In the end, he just said this.

Mu Yanzong had visited this royal garden several times with his parents before.

At that time, my father was still alive and in good health.

Every year, he would go hunting in the royal gardens with the emperor.

Since he came to the Royal Garden when he was six years old, he has not continued to hide behind his mother as before.

Instead, he changed into a military uniform and went to the hunting ground with his father.

His riding and archery skills were all taught to him patiently by his father, one by one.

At that time, my father was often worried that he was still young and could not control his temper.

So I always tricked him into learning from his father.

Fortunately, he did not disappoint his father after all.

Thinking of his father, Mu Yanzong inevitably felt a sense of loneliness in his heart.

Ye Jingzhao, who was following him, saw his slightly lonely back.

He was thinking, maybe he remembered something unhappy.

"Master Mu, where are we going?"

Ye Jingzhao changed the topic, hoping to bring Mu Yanzong out of his sad mood.

The girl's gentle voice sounded in his ears, and Mu Yanzong was pulled back from his thoughts that were lost in memories.

"Sister Jing Zhao, let me take you to a mountain spring that not many people know about. The scenery there is extremely beautiful."

Mu Yanzong spoke to her.

In fact, I discovered that mountain spring when I went hunting in the royal gardens with my father.

The spring water has a constant temperature all year round, and flowers bloom all year round.

The spring water also has a faint cold fragrance, which can make people feel comfortable and refreshed physically and mentally.

This hidden mountain spring was his secret base when he was young.

He would come here every year.

Ye Jingzhao was aroused by Mu Yanzong's words.

Then he followed all the way.

The mountain spring is in the jungle halfway up the mountain.

Although he had been prepared in his heart, after walking for a long time, Ye Jingzhao's feet were slightly sore. When he lowered his eyes, he accidentally saw that the hem of his skirt was stained with a lot of mud.

Even the large cloak she was wearing was stained with a lot of dead branches and leaves, and the hem of her skirt was even stained with a layer of muddy water.

She couldn't help but frown slightly, wondering whether to continue walking.

Mu Yanzong paused, filled with joy. He originally wanted to tell her that she was coming soon.

Seeing her staring at the hem of her skirt, she was in a daze.

Only then did Mu Yanzong understand.

This mountain road was a piece of cake for him.

But for sister Jing Zhao who has been raised in a boudoir all year round, it is an extremely difficult thing.

Full of annoyance, he looked at sister Jing Zhao.

"Sister Jing Zhao, I was negligent."

He wanted to say that it was better for him to carry her on his back, but he felt it was inappropriate and stopped the idea.

He could only apologize to her continuously.

"Master Mu, how long do we have to go on?"

Ye Jingzhao now only thinks about how he must stay away from others when he goes back in this state, so as not to let others see him.

"We're just ahead." Mu Yanzong raised his hand and pointed to an old tree not far away.

Ye Jingzhao looked up and was shocked to realize that not far in front of him was an extremely thick old tree. It would take two people to wrap around the entire trunk.

She couldn't help but follow Mu Yanzong's footsteps.

The mountain spring is behind the old tree.

Above the clear spring water, there is a light mist.

Mu Yanzong pointed to the spring water and said, "Sister Jing Zhao, freshen up first."

He did not touch the spring water, thinking that he would touch it again after she had washed herself.

Ye Jingzhao thanked him, and Hong Zao, who was following him, took a bamboo tube and filled the spring with water.

Ye Jingzhao went to an open space aside and then began to wash carefully.

She tasted the spring water first, and the warm touch slid down her throat.

It's quite refreshing.

After seeing the spring water, Ye Jingzhao went to the old tree he just saw.

She raised her head and looked toward the sky along the thick trunk of the tree.

The intertwined branches are like a tight spider web, tightly covering the sky as far as the eye can see.

At some point, Mu Yanzong came to her side.

Follow her line of sight and look towards the sky.

"In the past, every year, my father would take my mother and I to hunt in the royal gardens with the emperor. Now that my father is gone, my mother refuses to come here again."

"I know that she is afraid of thinking of her father."

"Actually, this place also holds many memories of my father and I, and I don't want to come either."

"It's just that I worry about you."

Ye Jingzhao withdrew his gaze and looked at Mu Yanzong, full of doubts.

"The second prince suddenly held this hunting banquet. I heard that Miss Ye San was the one who instigated it."

"I also heard that Miss Ye San invited you. I was worried about you, so I followed her."

"Master Mu, how could you know about this?"

She never told anyone else about this matter.

Because her third sister Ye Jingyun suddenly invited her, she suspected there was a conspiracy behind it.

Then he refused to come. Later, he saw that Miss Jiang and Sister Lin were also coming, and then Sister Qian would also come.

Only then did she want to take a look.

How did Mu Yanzong know this?

"A few days ago, I accidentally learned that my father had left me some men. I ordered them to secretly..."

Mu Yanzong did not continue speaking.

Ye Jingzhao had already guessed it.

Mu Yanzong must have sent people to inquire about his affairs from time to time.

I'm afraid that the Bo's Mansion also has chess pieces from the Mu's Mansion.

"Master Mu, why are you treating me like this..."

Ye Jingzhao raised his eyes and looked at Mu Yanzong intently, trying to find the answer in his eyes.

Mu Yanzong never said that he liked her in his past life.

She always believed that Mu Yanzong in his previous life could not bear it. When he saw his withered bones, he felt a pity for her. She guessed that she would not want to enter the uncle's ancestral grave.

When they met for the first time in this life, he was mostly grateful to her and never had any other thoughts about her.

She always thought that Mu Yanzong just accepted the marriage out of gratitude for her.

And saved his mother.

In fact, he didn't know that these were things Ye Jingzhao owed him in his previous life.

Now it's just repayment.

Falling in Mu Yanzong's eyes, he recognized the girl in front of him.

She was sincere in her heart and had clear hatred, and she saved his mother in danger several times.

At first, he did not have any feelings for her between man and woman in his heart, but he was mostly grateful.

I don't know when she started to have other thoughts. Maybe it was when he took her to see Mr. Arong for the first time.

Later, she agreed to go to the border.

He could no longer treat her as a friend.

A strong desire arose in his heart. He wanted to marry her and protect her for the rest of his life.

"Because you are my wife."
