Princess Jing'an raised his head to look at Mu Jinzhi, he tilted his head and laughed, and replied: "When Eunuch returns, please thank Your Highness on my behalf, just that we have already agreed to pay a visit to the Jin King, this way we won't have time to go to Xiangyang."

Little Mountain Village was almost half a month's journey away from the Shu City. Unlike Little Mountain Village, which was located close to the canal, it only took eight or nine days for the entire journey from the capital to the capital by boat with the wind.

Mu Jinzhi continued: "However, my big sister has to go back to Xiangyang, it has been ten years since she was married, and she has not seen her godfather or godmother. I have already informed the two of them in advance that I will be going to visit the two elders, coincidentally, with my father-in-law."

Fan Yingde knew that the two of them were really running out of time, if they went to see the Duke of Xiangyang at the Duke Jin's place, even if there was a suspicion, it would bring about a disaster for no reason.

"That being the case, after this servant returns and reports to the king, I presume the two of you will not be blamed."

Princess Jing'an did not know about the matter between Su Ruirui and Princess Jing'an, so she smiled and said, "I had wanted to go to Xiangyang, but as soon as we landed in the land of Shu, my second cousin sent people over to invite us to stay there for a few days, so I agreed."

Fan Yingde finally understood why Mu Jinzhi gave up the idea. He sneaked a glance at Mu Jinzhi and saw him nodding towards him, his heart tensed up. It seemed that the Princess Jing'an was not lying.

Mu Jinzhi lowered his head to look at Princess Jing'an's exhausted face, reached out and gently supported her arm, and said: "I can see that you are very tired, I am afraid that you have been too tired all these days. Now that the sacrifice is over, we will choose a day to go and see your second cousin.

After speaking, he called for the little girl and told them to help the princess back to her room to rest. He then said, "Eunuch, you haven't come here for many years. I'll take you to see our little mountain village.

Fan Yingde saw that Mu Jinzhi had already removed the immaturity from his body.

When the Princess Jing'an asked him with her eyes, Mu Jinzhi gave a faint smile but did not speak. She was unwilling to brush his face away, so she could only follow the little girl and leave.

After she left, Mu Jinzhi gracefully made a gesture of invitation and smiled: "Eunuch, this way please!"

Fan Yingde nodded his head and laughed lightly. After a while, the two of them left the main hall shoulder to shoulder, and when they arrived at the courtyard where there was no one around, he sighed: "In a blink of an eye, a few years have passed. You guys have grown up, and our prince is also old."

Su Ruirui was about seven or eight years older than Mu Jinzhi. He smiled and said, "Eunuch, you are overthinking it.

Fan Yingde said while laughing: "Before I came, Your Highness had already explained it to me, young master, don't forget to enter high school into Han Lin the next year."

Mu Jinzhi's heart stirred as he laughed, "Of course I'm working hard. Otherwise, that mother-in-law of mine would probably strip me of my body and give me a beating."

"Han Lin is a good place, I heard that Lord Little Yang can already walk with his superior." Fan Yingde replied softly. His tone and expression seemed to be saying that the change in Little Mountain Village was really huge, making him very happy.

Mu Jinzhi stood on the slope with him and pointed towards the opposite side of the small mountain village.

Willow, white wall, green brick courtyard.

A cool breeze, the sound of frogs chirping, and the fragrance of flowers at the front of the hill.

Look, the new house over there is built by our small mountain village. Other than a few wealthy families who bought a place to stay, we, the Village Head Grandpa, use most of our silver to build shops and small courtyards. Even if we only rely on rent collection every year, the villagers will no longer starve.

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty's health is getting worse. After hearing the news that Imperial Concubine had passed on, not only did His Majesty incontinence, the crown prince was also gradually reprimanding him on the matter of the country, reminding him to be careful. Also, the crown prince, under the pretext of protecting the safety of Her Majesty and the Imperial Concubine, had sent a guard to replace the one in front of the two." This was a disguised form of house arrest.

Fan Yingde beamed with joy as he pointed to the peach blossoms that were sticking out of the wall and said: "Sigh, it's getting harder and harder to pass the message from the palace now. I hope that when Young Master Mu returns, you can tell Young Master Yang that our prince is ready, but the time is not right yet, I'm afraid that Imperial Concubine will have to suffer for a while longer."

"Yes, in these two years, not only has the Crown Prince opened a brothel in the capital, but he has also traveled to other wealthy places in the Great Zhou, causing the people to complain and the commoners to part with their wives." Mu Jinzhi was born in a small mountain village, so in his heart, he refused to accept such a future emperor.

Fan Yingde took a peach blossom and held it in his hand, then said softly, "These are not enough, but the prince probably has other arrangements, it's just that the Grand Preceptor is becoming more and more unafraid of the other princes. If something happens, Prince Jin might be the first one to stand up."

As for Mu Jinzhi, he did not wish for the citizens to be displaced, so he said seriously: "Eunuch should know about my childhood experience. Back then, when father and mother passed away, when Little Shan Village was far away from the county, all the family members were barely able to survive. At that time, for my sister, I went to beg for rice and helped others with their work.

Although Fan Yingde knew a little, she did not hear him say it out loud. The corners of his eyes slightly moistened, and he thought to himself: No wonder his master said that the two siblings suffered so much back then, that they would become great people in the future.

"My Prince is kind, could it be that he is king of the world? This Great Zhou Dynasty is the Su Family's Great Zhou Dynasty, of course he would not allow the common people to suffer."

Mu Jinzhi turned his head to look at him, and said: "I naturally do not have the same thoughts as Prince. My thoughts are very small, and it was previously for my little sister, but now there's another one, and also my wife, I just need to protect them well for the rest of my life!"

Fan Yingde more and more clearly understood why Su Ruirui valued him so highly, it was because he had something that Su Ruirui lacked. It was a type of attraction, protection, and reluctance.

"Young Master Mu is too serious. Not only you, Young Master Yang and our Prince will protect wood girl well. She is a woman that deserves to be pitied!" Even Fan Yingde loved to interact with Mu Rousang, so the joy that he felt was gone forever.

Mu Jinzhi was a lot more relieved, he was just afraid that Su Ruirui would harbor some resentment in his heart and fall out with his in the future. It was just that he would never force his sister to do something he did not want to do, he only hoped that she would not suffer anymore in her life and be safe and sound.

"I will have to trouble Eunuch Fan to console me in the future. There are countless girls in the world, and as a man, I wonder if he will have no wife. I believe that when the prince is successful, he will have all sorts of women!"

Fan Yingde felt bitter in his heart, looking at Owner's expression, he was afraid that it would be difficult to let go of this relationship, the more ruthless the place was, the easier it was for emotions to arise.

"You and I have known each other for many years. It is only natural. There is no need for this."

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that Su Ruirui had not put Mu Rousang down, but so what? Marriage was not a transaction, it was not something that could be forcibly married and seized by means. Mu Rousang was different from the other girls, after all.

The two of them stood on the hill and looked at the small mountain village that was once completely naked and seemed to be devoid of food. The village seemed to be very far away, and as the older generation slowly disappeared, they were slowly forgotten in the river of history.

Fan Yingde left just like that. He did what he had to do, and said what he had to say …

Mu Jinzhi and Princess Jing'an had also paid a visit to the Jinyi King, but it was originally just a matter of face, so he naturally did not stay for more than a few days. Mu Jinzhi checked the stores in Shu City on behalf of Mu Rousang and Left Lady, and then, after checking it again, it seemed that his heart was interested, and his hands and feet were not clean. He was not angry, and directly sent the shop to the government, but with the Jinyi Prince's face, no one dared to think too much.

After a few more days passed like this, when the two of them returned to the small mountain village, Wei Anping and his wife had already returned. Mu Jinzhi then set up a banquet to entertain the two of them, but during the banquet, he felt rather guilty and remorseful as he said: "godfather and godmother treated me and my sister like they were already gone.

One of them was that although Liu Guizhi's temperament was still gentle, she had also learned how to hide needles inside her body. All those who had the intention were dealt with by her quietly, and the other was that the Mu Clan and Zuo Mansion had all gone to the capital, so he had become more and more obedient. After her son and daughter were born one after another for so many years, she had gradually stopped thinking about taking in concubines.

Liu Guizhi did not know how much her husband was thinking, but she was extremely happy as she said to Mu Jinzhi: "Daddy is just afraid that you will think too much into it, he had already received your letter long ago, and even said that you should not be too tired, even if you don't care, you should at least understand and understand Princess."

Mu Jinzhi laughed: I had originally planned to bring my godfather and godmother to live in the capital, you know that there's no one else apart from me and my wife in that mansion, plus big sister and brother An Ping can always be filial in front of my godmother and godfather, not to mention that Gui Xiang will be accompanying my husband into the capital next year, and she will be studying in the Office of the Crown Prince.

Liu Guizhi felt grateful in her heart, she was originally complaining that Mu Jinzhi did not know anything, but now it seemed that she had misunderstood and said: "When I went back to find father and mother, I actually said that we, as princes, must try our best to be filial, and frequently come to visit my parents, and even get people to put food and shelter in order. I saw that the two of them were enjoying themselves extremely much, so I stopped thinking of taking the two of them to the capital.

Princess Jing'an was afraid that he would feel sad so she immediately advised: "Husband, wait a few more years, when Father and Mother Qian are old, we will go to Third Cousin to plead for mercy, and don't let him take away all this filial piety by himself, no matter what, it will be our turn!"
