Chapter 324 Being Too Smart Is Not Good
Chu Chenfeng smiled, "My jade pendant was stolen by you there."
Li Mulan nudged his chest with her elbow, took out the jade pendant from her neck, and played with it in her hand, "What do you mean by cheating? That's obviously the medical expenses to save you."
"I waited for two days at the foot of the mountain."
Li Mulan felt a little guilty. "Oh, you can't control me. Who would have known that I would be driven away by my master the day after I returned. This is really a coincidence, hehehe."
Li Mulan looked at the word "wind" on the jade pendant and asked, "Is this jade pendant important?"
Chu Chenfeng watched her playing with the jade pendant, his eyes full of tenderness, "Back then, my father accidentally got a piece of precious jade and had several jade pendants made. My brother, the eldest princess, and I each got one. My brother's pendant has the word 'Yu' engraved on it, and it's with Xiaojie now."
"Oh, that's very important. How about... I give it back to you?"
He said he would return it, but his hands were holding it tightly.
Chu Chenfeng smiled and said, "Didn't you say it was a token of love?"
"Hehehe, that's right, I won't be polite then."
She has carried this jade pendant with her for more than ten years, and she would be reluctant to return it.
"But, Lan'er took my token of love, but she still hasn't given me one."
Li Mulan was stunned. It seemed that she didn't give him anything. She felt around and found that she was in a hurry to go out and didn't bring anything. "Well... next time, I will prepare a special token of love for you, okay?"
Chu Chenfeng smiled and nodded, "Then I'll wait for Lan'er's token."
"Well, don't worry, I won't forget it again." Suddenly, she thought of the senior brothers coming to her house tomorrow, and asked casually, "My senior brothers are going to visit me tomorrow and have dinner with me. Do you want to join us?"
Chu Chenfeng listened and said seriously, "Of course I will go. Are they the ones I met?"
Li Mulan gathered her cloak again and said, "You have met the eldest, second and sixth senior brothers, but you have not met the third and eighth senior brothers."
Chu Chenfeng nodded, and something seemed to flash in his eyes, "Grand Prince of Southern Xinjiang, I met him many years ago."
Li Mulan looked surprised, "Have you met my eighth senior brother?"
"Hmm." Chu Chenfeng didn't seem to want to say more, "But your third senior brother seems to be very mysterious. Everyone knows that the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace has nine disciples. Even you have some news in the martial arts world, but there is no information about this third disciple."
Li Mulan raised her lips proudly, "My third senior brother, don't say you don't know his identity, even I only found out today."
"Oh?" This surprised Chu Chenfeng, "You haven't contacted me in all these years?"
"We have been exchanging letters quite frequently, but it was several senior brothers who helped to deliver the messages. Moreover, the gifts given to me by Third Senior Brother over the years are the most among all the senior brothers, hehe." Thinking of this, Li Mulan stuck out her tongue guiltily. She definitely did not mean to dislike the fact that the other senior brothers gave me less.
Chu Chenfeng also smiled when he saw her like this, "It seems that the identity of your third senior brother must be not simple."
"In short, just don't get scared tomorrow."
Chu Chenfeng suddenly remembered that the little prince of Tianlang Country seemed to have a very different attitude towards Li Mulan. Could it be...
"Could your third senior brother be from Tianlang Country?"
Li Mulan opened her eyes wide, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
Hmm? Looks like I guessed right.
Chu Chenfeng's mind moved, such a mysterious word...
"Could it be the Lord of the Tianlang Nation?"
Li Mulan pointed at him in disbelief, "You...you...what's wrong with your brain? Or did you already know it?"
Chu Chenfeng shook his head helplessly, "No, I didn't know it before. I just suddenly remembered the attitude of the little prince of Tianlang Country towards you that day... He was very protective of you."
"Just because of this, you guessed the identity of my third senior brother?" Li Mulan pouted and looked unconvinced. "It's not good to be too smart. It's no fun at all."
Chu Chenfeng answered politely, "Yes, Lan'er is right."
"Hmph!" Li Mulan turned her head away and stopped looking at him.
"So...he came here specifically to attend our wedding?"
"Well, he came with my third sister-in-law, privately."
"Okay, I understand. This matter will not be spread out."
Seeing that he was very concerned, Li Mulan said softly, "Um... if my third senior brother said something unpleasant tomorrow... you..."
"Haha, don't worry, I won't take it to heart."
"Oh, they don't mean any harm, and they're not targeting you. In fact, my third brother had a very good impression of you before. But now that I'm going to marry you, I'm still worried, so..."
Chu Chenfeng rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry, no need to explain, I understand."
It was rare that Li Mulan felt a little shy and her face turned red because of the gentle and considerate Chu Chenfeng.
Seeing her patting her face, Chu Chenfeng moved closer, "What's wrong?"
The faint bamboo scent on his body became more obvious, and Li Mulan quickly pushed him away, "Hey, why are you getting so close to me?"
Chu Chenfeng was puzzled at first, but then he noticed her slightly red cheeks and seemed to understand something.
Instantly, his heart seemed to be filled with something, and he felt extremely satisfied. It turned out that he was not the only one who was in love with her. How great!
Suddenly, Chu Chenfeng stopped talking. Li Mulan turned back in confusion and met Chu Chenfeng's tender eyes. Now her heart beat faster.
Li Mulan had never had such an experience in her past or present life. The sound of her heartbeat was particularly obvious, and she was afraid that Chu Chenfeng could hear it.
To ease the embarrassment, she pretended to yawn and said, "I'm a little sleepy. Let's go back."
It was rare to see Li Mulan like this, Chu Chenfeng was in a good mood, but he still couldn't bear to tease her, "Okay, go back."

The next morning, there was chaos in the court of Da Chu.
The reason is that today the Crown Prince of Tianlang Kingdom asked to see the Emperor of Da Chu and brought an imperial edict from the King of Tianlang Kingdom.
Of course, this imperial edict would not be read out in the court of the Great Chu, but its meaning was still clearly conveyed.
It turns out that the Lord of Tianlang Country is also the disciple of the Lord of Lingxiao Palace, the most mysterious third disciple. He is a senior apprentice of the granddaughter of Li Taifu and they have a deep relationship.
This senior brother was afraid that his junior sister would be bullied if she married the regent of Da Chu, so he canonized her as Princess Yong'an of Tianlang Kingdom and gave her a princess's mansion. It is said that this princess's mansion was prepared half a month ago and is extremely luxurious. It seems that the ruler of Tianlang Kingdom has had this intention for a long time.
Now, the whole court was in an uproar.
The group led by Prime Minister Xu all opposed it. The reason was simple: how could the future regent princess of Da Chu be a princess of another country?
