Chapter 488 Extra: Mu Feng (3)
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Mu Feng nodded.
"General Mu, come back this time and spend some time with your grandfather."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Mu Feng was restrained and polite.
Chu Xing sorted the kite string and glanced at Mu Feng secretly.
How come he still looks the same as he did many years ago? Although he is seven years older than her, he doesn't look much different.
The corners of Chu Xing's lips curled up, and his heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten a piece of candy.
Ever since Mu Feng left, she found that she would think of Mu Feng from time to time.
Now that he came back, she felt incredibly happy.
As she thought about it, she felt lost again. How could she forget that Mu Feng had a woman he liked.
She should just put this little thought in her mind aside.
Now she is the one who has a unilateral admiration for General Mu, and she cannot let him have any psychological burden.
"You haven't eaten yet, let's eat together." Chu Li suggested.
"Big brother, come quickly." Xiao Yueyue took Mu Feng's hand and walked into the house.
Chu Li covered his face, the seniority was all messed up.
Fortunately, Mu Feng is not a real member of the Mu family.
"Chu Xing, let's eat together." Chu Li hooked his finger at Chu Xing.
Chu Xing felt a little embarrassed. She hid her little thoughts very well and shouldn't be discovered by Chu Li.
"Okay, my clothes are dirty. I'll come right back after changing." Chu Xing's cheeks were flushed and he ran away like a gust of wind.
When Chu Li saw Chu Xing wearing a pink dress and dressed up specially, the corners of her lips curled up.
This girl really can't hide her thoughts at all.
She met Mu Feng in her most beautiful appearance and felt that she had not been discovered.
Only a blockhead like Mu Feng didn't realize that Chu Xing was interested in him.
Chu Li deliberately moved a seat for Chu Xing to sit next to Mu Feng.
Chu Xing's ears turned red.
Mu Feng didn't notice Chu Xing's series of changes at all and was still reporting the situation at the border to Chu Li.
Chu Li interrupted him with a smile, "Don't talk about state affairs while eating, or I'll ask you to repair the Bodhi Temple."
The continuous spring rains have caused damage to the century-old royal temple, and it needs capable people.
Mu Feng curved his lips and said, "I am willing to share your worries, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yueyue ate the cake while looking at Mu Feng with her big watery eyes, "Big brother, you are so handsome, is there any big sister who likes you?"
Mu Feng smiled dotingly, "No."
Xiao Yueyue rolled her eyes and looked at Chu Xing and then at Mu Feng, "Sister Xing'er is a perfect match for big brother."
Chu Xing's face turned red instantly, and Chu Li secretly high-fived Xiao Yueyue.
The little guy's matchmaker did a great job.
Mu Feng's gaze fell on Chu Xing. It was impossible for him and Chu Xing to be together.
He changed the subject, "Little Princess, is the cake delicious?"
Xiao Yueyue nodded, "It's delicious, but Xiao Yueyue wants to eat big brother's wedding candy more."
Mu Feng’s smile deepened. The little princess looked so much like Chu Li when she was a child.
Chu Xing felt embarrassed as if her secrets had been exposed by a child. She lowered her head to eat and never dared to look at Mu Feng again.
Mu Feng suddenly looked at her and said, "Princess Xiaoqi, you don't have to take the child's words to heart."
Chu Xing looked dazed, and looked away in panic, "This princess doesn't take it to heart, and doesn't care who you admire..."
After saying this, she almost wanted to sew her mouth shut with a needle.
What is she she talking about.
Mu Feng looked surprised. What did Princess Chu Xing mean?
He was confused as to what he heard.
Chu Li rubbed his eyebrows. It turned out that baby Chu Xing couldn't hide his thoughts at all.
After finishing his meal, Chu Xing returned to his mother and excitedly told Concubine Shu what he had seen and heard that day.
Concubine Shu looked at her daughter. Her eyes were bright and her face was full of excitement when she told him that Mu Feng returned the kite to her.
She instantly guessed what her daughter was thinking.
My daughter has really grown up and has someone she loves.
General Mu Feng is a very nice person.
I wonder if General Mu has any feelings for Chu Xing?
She knew how painful it was for a woman to marry a man who didn't love her.
It’s worse to be alone during those difficult times.
Thinking of this, she reminded him, "Xing'er, you must marry someone who loves you in this life, even if he is an ordinary person. As long as he is willing to make progress and truly loves you, that's enough."
Chu Xing hugged her mother's arm and said shyly, "Mother, I won't marry. I will stay with you forever."
Concubine Shu shook her head. It seemed that this girl liked Mu Feng so much that she even learned to lie.
......
Seven days later, Chu Xing suddenly fell ill. He had no appetite and became increasingly thinner.
Both the imperial physician and Chu Li have come to see him, but no medicine worked.
Seeing that Chu Xing was in love, Chu Li specially invited Situ Yichen to come over.
Situ Yichen observed for a while and asked, "Has the Seventh Princess worshipped Buddha recently?"
Chu Xing thought for a moment, "Half a year ago, I went to the Bodhi Temple to worship Buddha and made a wish."
A blush appeared on her face, and she prayed to the Buddha to bless her and find her a suitable husband.
Situ Yichen smiled, "Seventh Princess should go to wherever she worships Buddha to fulfill her wish."
Chu Li thought of Mu Feng who was building the temple in Bodhi Temple. Coincidentally, he was there.
It turned out that the Buddha had already arranged a match between Chu Xing and Mu Feng, and their marriage was about to begin.
Chu Xing suddenly realized, "Then I will go to Bodhi Temple right away."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "It just so happens that General Mu Feng is repairing the temple in the mountains. You are too weak, and the air in the mountains is good. You should recuperate in the mountains for a while. I will write a letter to ask him to teach you some self-defense skills to strengthen your body."
Chu Xing's eyes lit up, and her voice suddenly became stronger, "Okay, thank you, sister."
Concubine Shu also felt that it seemed to be a command from heaven and asked her daughter to go to the Bodhi Temple.
She could see that Chu Li was trying to bring Mu Feng and Chu Xing together, and now whether the two could be together depended on fate.
......
Chu Xing sat in the carriage and headed to the Bodhi Temple.
I felt both happy and anxious along the way.
Will General Mu teach her?
She pursed her lips nervously and held the letter written by Chu Li carefully.
The mountain flowers were in full bloom. Chu Xing got off the carriage halfway up the mountain and picked a bunch of pink flowers. Breathing the fresh mountain air, she felt much lighter.
Perhaps it was because she had stayed in the palace for too long, she had never felt as free and happy as she did now.
She held the bouquet, raised her head and looked at the blue sky with a smile.
Not far away, the sound of horse hooves came.
Mu Feng saw Chu Xing in a purple dress, her beautiful hair fluttering in the wind. She had a bright smile on her face, just as beautiful as the flower in her hand.
The little kid who followed him along with Chuchu has grown up.
Chu Xing glanced sideways and saw Mu Feng, who was dressed in blue and sitting upright on his horse. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a sturdy figure, and an imposing manner.
She seemed to hear her own heartbeat...
