On the same day, Long Weijun made a little repairs in Yao'an, and immediately rushed to Lin'an.

Zhu Linmiao was worried that the remnants of the Daohong Mountain Department would not be appeased, so he asked the Mu family to go south with the army, until he met Mu Yan's men and horses, and then he returned to Lijiang Mansion together.

……

Mu Zhiqing only felt that she was overwhelmed by the rich aroma, as if she was still in a dream.

When she opened her beautiful eyes, she saw all kinds of gardenias, roses, camellias, azaleas, and orchids all around, and the whole room was full, as if she was in the middle of a sea of flowers.

"Miss, are you awake?" Xuecha, the maid who was waiting on the side, heard the sound and hurriedly came over, but saw her looking at the room full of flowers in a daze, and couldn't help chuckling, "Yes, you didn't dream!" These many flowers were sent by His Royal Highness the Auxiliary Minister. ”

"I know I'm not dreaming," Mu Zhiqing's face flushed slightly when she heard this, and she said in surprise, "It's so decent, how can His Highness send so many flowers?" ”

The little maid blinked narrowly, "I don't know this, you have to ask Your Highness in person."

"Oh, Your Highness also commanded that I will see you when you wake up."

Mu Zhiqing was stunned, and before she could raise her hand to speak, Xuecha had already jumped out of the door, leaving only one sentence, "I'll go and call him." ”

"Eh......"

After a while, someone knocked on the door of the room, and she knew that it might be His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King, so she felt sad in her heart, and said softly: "Please come in." ”

Zhu Linmiao changed into white brocade civilian clothes, pushed the door into the house, and greeted with a smile: "Girl Mu." ”

Mu Zhiqing was about to get out of bed to salute when she propped herself up, but Zhu Linmiao hurriedly held her down, "Don't get up, be careful about the wound." ”

Mu Zhiqing leaned back on the cushion and asked softly, "Your Highness, these flowers ......?"

"Oh, I heard that a good mood will help you recover from your injuries, so I thought that girls should like flowers, so I asked someone to put some in your room."

Mu Zhiqing looked at the room flooded with flowers, and hesitated, "Put some?" ”

Zhu Linmiao smiled and said, "I don't know what flowers you like, so I asked people to take some flowers that can be found this season." He rubbed his hands together and said, "What flowers do you like?" Tell me, and I'll give you this one in the future. ”

Mu Zhiqing was silent when she heard this, her expression seemed to be happy but sad.

Seeing that she was silent, Zhu Linmiao had to ask tentatively, "You don't like flowers?" I didn't expect this to happen. If you don't like it, I'll have them removed. ”

Mu Zhiqing only shook her head slightly, and the room couldn't help but be silent.

Zhu Linmiao suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Oh, and this, you will definitely like it." He turned his head and shouted, "Shi Lin! ”

Shi Lin, who was waiting outside the door, knocked on the door and entered the house, handed over a golden birdcage to Zhu Linmiao, and immediately withdrew.

In the cage was a green-haired yellow-crowned parrot, jumping up and down with its wings, very cheerful.

Zhu Linmiao raised the birdcage and said to the parrot: "Wood girl! Say it! ”

The parrot immediately cried out in a thin voice, "Wood girl! Wood girl! ”

Zhu Linmiao smiled and handed the birdcage forward, "This is a Levian parrot, the best at learning to speak, it was given by a Francophone merchant last month, and I left it in Wuzhou." A while ago, I remembered that this guy is very funny, so I had someone send it to me......"

"I," Mu Zhiqing raised her head, tears flashed in her eyes, "Your Highness, I can't accept these." I'm just a woman who has been divorced, how can I accept your ...... so gracious?"

"Why not?" Zhu Linmiao saw the sad face between her eyebrows, and immediately plucked up the courage to say seriously, "That person doesn't know your goodness, but I do." I just like you and want to be with you! ”

When Mu Zhiqing heard this, she was stunned on the spot like an electric shock.

What she learned from childhood is three from four virtues, "don't listen to indecent things, don't say indecent words" and so on, Zhu Linmiao's sudden bold confession was like a bomb exploding in her heart.

"However, I came from a humble background, and I am not even Han Chinese......" Mu Zhiqing clenched her cuffs in a panic.

"What if you're not Han?" Zhu Linmiao immediately said, "You are close to the Ming Dynasty, you are familiar with the scriptures and history, and you are the same people of China as me, I just like you, a Naxi girl." ”

Mu Zhiqing was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "Your Highness, but because I blocked arrows for you and was humiliated by Najie, I felt ashamed of me, why, did I say that?" ”

"You're thinking about it." Zhu Linmiao simply threw out all the thoughts in his heart, "Actually, as early as when I was in Fujing, I already had a good impression of you, but I was busy with military affairs, and I really didn't have time to take care of anything else, so I put down the emotional matter for the time being."

"Until that day, you were in a coma after being hit by an arrow, and Lang Zhong said that you probably wouldn't survive that night......

"I've never had such a terrible fear for as long as I can remember, even in the face of tens of thousands of prisoners. But when you were seriously injured and your life was hanging by a thread, I was so scared that I couldn't do it, I was afraid that you would die, I was afraid that I would never see you again, and I was afraid that there would be no such smart and beautiful woman as you in the world......

"Until that moment, I didn't know that before I knew it, you were already here......"

"Where?" Mu Zhiqing looked up at him.

"In my heart."

A violent happiness and a feeling of dizziness surged into Mu Zhiqing's heart. This feeling was so unreal, she couldn't help but pinch herself hard, it hurt, it wasn't a dream!

She forced herself to control her emotions and still asked softly, "What about ...... What about General Zhen? ”

"Zhen Zhen? What's wrong with her? Zhu Linmiao was surprised.

"Your Highness...... Like her? Mu Zhiqing said like a gnat.

Zhu Linmiao said with a smile: "I appreciate her loyalty and patriotism, and her pride in not letting her eyebrows go." But, just for appreciation, I have never had a relationship with her. It's just you ......."

Mu Zhiqing's cheeks turned red, and she looked at a bouquet of flowers in the room and said, "Orchid ......"

"What?"

"I love orchids......

"In the future, can you give me orchids again?" Mu Zhiqing smiled at Zhu Linmiao, like the first thaw of spring water and the first birth of spring flowers. Seeing that Zhu Linmiao was stunned for a long time, she realized that she was answering her first question.
