The birds chirped two or three times in the morning, chirping in their ears.

Princess Yun Jiao had chosen and chosen a pair of earrings from her jewellery box, but she had not chosen the earrings that matched her choice. She was feeling depressed when a knock sounded on the door.

Princess Yun Jiao gave Cui Huan a look.

Cui Huan put down the comb and opened the door. Upon opening the door, a smile immediately appeared on her face. "It's the lord general. Greetings, General Mu."

Although she said that, she didn't have any intention of letting Mu Yi An in.

Princess Yun Jiao glanced sideways at the door and indeed saw half of Mu Yi'an's body. She then turned her head to continue staring at herself in the bronze mirror. She took her jade brush and gently combed her hair, pretending that he wasn't there.

"Has the princess woken up?" Mu Yi An asked in a low voice.

Cui Huan nodded, "Yes, I'm dressing now."

As she spoke, she looked into the room. Princess Yun Jiao didn't tell Mu Yi An to enter, so Cui Huan didn't dare to act presumptuously. She could only ask, "General, what are you doing here so early?"

"Nothing, I'll just wait for her." Mu Yi An turned around and stood under the porch with his hands behind his back.

When Princess Yun Jiao saw him act this way, she felt even more unhappy. She threw away her jade comb and said, "Emerald Ring, let him in. You may leave."

"Yes." Cui Huan blessed herself and let Muyi in. Then, she slowly walked out of the room and closed the door.

The woman sitting in front of the bronze mirror was wearing a dazzling azure robe. The step that was placed diagonally on her temple gently swayed, causing people to feel dizzy from the swaying of the step.

Lightly patting the pearl curtain, Muyi slowly walked into the room. Instead of calling her princess, he called her name: "Yun Jiao."

Princess Yun Jiao looked up at him with a stubborn expression. "Why is General Mu here so early in the morning?"

She was still angry.

Mu Yi'an felt a little helpless. He took out a small box from his bosom and gave it to her: "Here's a gift for you. Don't be angry."

Princess Yun Jiao hesitated for a moment before extending her hand to receive it. She opened the box and found a pair of earrings with a bright moon pearl inside. Although the earrings looked different from the one she had, they were even more beautiful.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother An."

Mu Yi'an received the earrings and took one out for her to put on. "It's good as long as you like it."

Princess Yun Jiao lowered her eyes without saying a word, but there was still a trace of unhappiness on her face.

"That Little Qiao is just an ordinary maid. There's really no need for you to go against her."

Princess Yun Jiao's pupils darted around as she said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Brother An is really protecting her. I presume that Brother An's feelings for her have long been deeply rooted?"

"Yun Jiao, what are you saying?"

"What do you think I am saying? I'm talking business. " Yun Jiao waved her sleeves and stood up: "I originally wanted her to deliver a letter to you, but I didn't expect her to actually take the opportunity to come to Brother An's residence to become a miss! "She's my maid, it's already a mistake for her not to be able to send you the message. Instead of helping me, you're protecting her. Mu Yi An, you're still saying that you're not taking sides with her. From what I can tell, you and her have already …"

Princess Yun Jiao suddenly stopped speaking. She bit her red lips as her eyes reddened. "Forget it, I don't want to talk about her. Since things have come to this, I presume that the letter I asked her to help out isn't in your hands?"

Mu Yi An nodded.

"Do you know why I came to see you this time?" Princess Yun Jiao raised her head and looked up at Mu Yi'an.

"Why?" Mu Yi An didn't understand.

Princess Yun Jiao shook her small head as a determined look appeared on her face. "I've come to find you to personally tell you …"

Dong dong.

The door was knocked on just in time.

Princess Yun Jiao's voice faltered as she impatiently frowned.

When he opened the door, he found that it was actually the old butler from King Yu's Estate.

The old housekeeper bowed towards Princess Yun Jiao and Mu Yi An before smiling and saying, "Princess, the prince has given me some instructions. I still need to explain it to you personally."

As he said this, he looked towards Mu Yi'an. His meaning was self-evident, and he was telling Mu Yi'an to retreat.

Princess Yun Jiao impatiently glared at him. "Uncle Yang, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Princess, this old servant is talking about family matters."

How could Mu Yi'an not understand the meaning behind those words?

"Since that's the case, I'll head back first. I'll come look for you when I have time." With that, Mu Yi An walked out of the room and left without looking back.

The old butler watched as Mu Yi'an walked out of the garden, and after seeing that no one was around, he said in a serious tone, "Princess, you are really being too preposterous. The Prince has already instructed you that you can't personally say such a thing, it would be too disgraceful of his face."

"His face, then what about mine!" A cold light flashed in Princess Yun Jiao's eyes as she said with self-mockery, "For that little Qiao, he bullied me time and time again. Where did he make me go? You even gave me some earrings, you think I care about it! "

Her lily-white hands picked up the earrings and threw them on the ground!

"Princess, please lower your voice …" The old butler quickly reminded him, "This is the General's Estate, be careful of the walls."

"Why should I whisper? He was the one who made the mistake, why can't I say it?"

The old butler also knew that this Princess Yun Jiao was used to being arrogant and domineering. If he kept forcing her, he might really do something. He could only say, "Anyway, we should talk about that matter after we return to the palace."

"Daddy has thought it through, do you want to tell him yourself?" Princess Yun Jiao glanced at the butler and asked.

The old steward nodded his head, "That's right. The Prince said that since the Princess has made up her mind, he will naturally help her. Now that the Prince's sixtieth birthday is coming up, he will definitely go offer his birthday."

"Father's sixtieth birthday is a big event, what if he …" Yun Jiao was worried as she frowned.

The old housekeeper saw that she knew she was worried about ruining the prince's birthday banquet, so he smiled and said: "Princess, don't worry, Mu Yi An isn't the kind of person who doesn't know his limits. Moreover, if it was that person's order, he should also understand that this matter is not under the control of the prince or the princess.

Yun Jiao thought for a moment and nodded. "I just hope that he won't turn hostile at that time."

"As long as Princess doesn't anger him now and everything becomes a foregone conclusion, he will naturally accept it." The old butler glanced at Yun Jiao before he bent down and asked in a low voice, "It's just that it's better to get the letter back as well. If he knew about it beforehand, something bad might happen."

Yun Jiao thought about it and shook her head, "Little Qiao didn't give it to Mu Yi'an. I don't know where the letter went."

"Is that still in Joe's hands?"

Yun Jiao hesitated for a moment before she nodded. "I presume so."

"This old servant understands. Princess, please calm down and stabilize him first. We will discuss this after we return to Yu City." The old butler bowed and said, "This old servant will take his leave first."

"Wait." Yun Jiao called out to him and said in a low voice, "Little Qiao didn't give him the letter for some reason, but in the end, she was holding onto the letter and using it to get some information …"

Yun Jiao's eyes flashed with killing intent.

The old butler understood. "Princess, don't worry. No one in this world will be able to pick on you."

Yun Jiao nodded in satisfaction. She waved her hand and slowly walked into the inner room.

The old butler went out, looked around to see if anyone was around, and then quickly left.

"..."

When Mu Yi An came out from that delicate place, he felt very upset.

The two had not seen each other for many years. This time, regardless of whether it was personality or feeling, there were subtle changes that made it hard for Muyi to adapt to. He thought along the way and by the time he came back to his senses, he was already at the gate of the garden.

"Lighter. It hurts. It hurts." Yi Xiaoqiao's pained voice came from the garden.

Mu Yi An's eyebrows creased slightly. He turned his feet and walked into Dawn Garden.

There were many season's flowers growing in the garden, and they were currently blooming beautifully. As he walked through the winding paths, the scenery before his eyes gradually began to brighten up.

When he saw the scene in front of him, his pupils constricted. He frowned in puzzlement: "What are you doing?"

Peach jumped in fright and quickly let go of Yi Xiaoqiao's arm, loudly replying, "Reporting to General, this Subordinate …" Teach the young lady some self-defense skills. "

She glanced at Muyi and thought back to last night when she had smashed a bright moon pearl earring. Last night, Muyi seemed to have drunk a bit of alcohol, perhaps because he was delirious, he did not argue with her, but this morning, he came here because he did not know what to do.

Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes flickered. She did not even dare to look at him.

"Oh, how's your practice going?"

Peach swept a glance at Yi Xiaoqiao and whispered, "Although lady's body is soft enough, but in terms of martial arts training …"

She smiled awkwardly, her meaning clear.

Mu Yi'an nodded, "Since I don't have any intelligence, I might as well not practice so as to avoid damaging my body."

"Yes."

"In the future, just follow her and don't be bullied."

"Yes sir!"

"…" Did you ask her? Yi Xiaoqiao stared mournfully at the two of them and explained, "There's no need. Peach is so powerful, and I've already used up all my resources to protect myself. If there's nothing else, I'll leave earlier. I won't cause any more trouble for you."

"Leave?" Mu Yi An raised his eyebrows, his phoenix eyes swirling with light. His black pearl like pupils flashed with a hint of amusement, as if he heard a joke.

Yi Xiaoqiao trembled at his gaze and whispered, "You promised me."

"Yes, I did indeed agree to that." Mu Yi An nodded, then added, "But I've never agreed to the princess' maid."

"…" Yi Xiao Qiao's heart was in turmoil after hearing his words. She was extremely perturbed. "You …" What exactly do you want? "

"Let me ask you, where is the princess' letter?"
