The head of the Mu family

Chapter 149 Even beauties can't resist the charms of heroes

"Yun'er, tell someone to bring a screen."

My mother has a lover, and my sisters are still unmarried~

The princess glanced at the crown princess but did not object. The maids quickly called for a servant to bring a screen.

After lunch, the princess invited everyone to go admire the lotus flowers.

Upon arriving at the garden, the concubine's daughters went elsewhere to admire the flowers.

The Crown Princess hesitated several times, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped. Huai Sheng thought:

Hmm? Is there really something fishy going on?

Sure enough, after strolling around for a while, they ran into the prince, who was with three handsome men.

"Mother, since we've met by chance, why don't we go for a stroll together?"

The princess immediately complied and strolled around normally for a while before speaking:

"These young friends of yours all appear to be of outstanding character and appearance. I wonder if they are married?"

Upon hearing this, the three men quickly greeted the princess again.

"All three of them come from wealthy imperial merchants and have come to the capital to manage their family businesses."

They had both recently come of age, and neither had a legal wife yet.

"Oh? Those are all fine young men, what do you think?"

The princess immediately echoed, and the crown prince's wife also reluctantly chimed in with a couple of words. The princess saw that Huai Sheng remained silent.

"Huaisheng girl~ what do you think of these three young masters?"

Both of them come from extremely wealthy families, and with such outstanding looks and character, they should be a perfect match.

You don't know, our Huai Sheng girl~

He's a miracle doctor!

Mu Huaisheng: Oh~~ So that's where you were waiting for me~

As soon as the princess finished speaking, the crown princess quickly and subtly blocked the three men's gazes from looking at Huaisheng.

Huai Sheng gave him a grateful look, and smiled faintly:

"Your Highness, I am but a humble country doctor."

Furthermore, these three gentlemen are outstanding individuals, and there is no need for a commoner like me to comment on them; their mere presence is enough to make them radiant.

Besides, this young woman is already engaged; it is truly inappropriate for her to speak ill of a stranger like this.

Huai Sheng glanced at the pond full of lotus flowers, smiled, and continued:

"Today, in the Prince's mansion, we have been invited to appreciate the finest flowers. How can we behave in such a manner?"

Please forgive me for not being able to comment; I hope Your Highness will understand.

The princess's face darkened for a moment, then she immediately smiled and said:

"Look at me~ I'm getting old, I've completely forgotten~"

The Crown Princess immediately replied:

"After walking around for so long, everyone must be tired. Why don't you all enjoy the sights on your own, Your Highness?"

I'll help my mother to rest.

"Alright, you go and help Mother to rest, we'll go for a stroll some more."

After returning to the main courtyard, Huaisheng bid farewell outside the gate.

"It's getting late. Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness. I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, he bowed and turned to leave. Seeing Huai Sheng taking his leave from afar, Qing Tian and Qing Yun came over, bowed, and followed him.

After Huaisheng left, the princess was so angry that she smashed two Ru kiln cups, and the princess also smashed two cups.

The Crown Princess stood to one side, her eyes downcast and her mouth closed.

The princess felt a throbbing pain in her chest. Recalling the day's gains, she quickly sent someone to deliver a letter to the head of the Imperial Medical Academy.

When Qianyan returned from her shift, she found that Huaisheng was not waiting for her in the front yard, so she went straight to the main yard.

Huai Sheng had just changed his clothes, removed his makeup and hair, and casually tied up his black hair with a hairpin.

"Huaisheng, I'm back~"

Were you given any difficulties today?

When Huaisheng saw someone walk in, he stepped forward to meet the hand that was being extended to him.

"No, don't worry, go change your clothes."

After Qianyan changed her clothes, the two went to the dining room and chatted while eating.

"Then tell me, what did you do today?"

Today, I went to admire the lotus flowers.

He even went to take the pulses of the women in the Prince's mansion.

Huai Sheng's eyes sparkled, and with a sly smile, he said:

"The Regent's wife probably thinks, 'Such a wonderful girl like me, you still have two things that make you unworthy of me.'"

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

"Hmm... She feels you're not quite financially capable enough, so today she wants to introduce me to the son of a very wealthy imperial merchant."

Besides, she felt that you might be lacking in looks; one of the young men there was as handsome as Pan An!

"That..."

"Alas, she forgot~"

Although I possess some good looks and some skills to make a living...

But I'm already engaged!

No matter how good other men are, there are always celestial beauties to match them.

Oh my~ Tsk tsk~

It's such a pity~

After saying that, she looked at Qianyan with a half-smile. Qianyan was both amused and exasperated. She tapped Qianyan's nose and said seriously:

"I won't go to those treacherous banquets next time. If I can't refuse, I'll go with you."

"You're going too?"

If you go, I'll miss the chance to see some men as handsome as Pan An!

Oh dear, what a pity!

In short: I am very pleased with you.

The days flowed by sweetly and leisurely, and the Regent did not cause any more trouble.

After Huai Sheng's thigh muscles fully recovered, he resumed his daily routine.

After finishing the affairs of the manor in the morning, in the afternoon he would either go out for a stroll or change into men's clothing to go to the city gate for free medical consultations.

During their time off, the two of them sometimes went out to eat, drink, and have fun.

Sometimes he would stay at home reading, writing, playing chess, or inviting people to play cards for entertainment.

Summer passed and autumn came in the blink of an eye. Qianyan began to feel melancholy. Qianyan discovered:

The way Huai Sheng was looking at him was wrong!

I had seen the way Huai Sheng looked at Qi Luan before, and later I heard Huai Sheng talk about Li Rongchuan.

Because there was no hatred in his eyes, when Huai Sheng spoke of their deep affection, his eyes were filled with the longing of a woman for a man.

Including when talking about the general who harbored resentment towards her because she was a military doctor, it was said that when they first met and got along, it was also a woman's longing for a man.

But when Huai Sheng looked at himself, his eyes were incredibly sincere and full of affection, but not love!

Qianyan was puzzled and asked Qingyun once when Huaisheng went to bathe:

"Qingyun, has Huaisheng ever mentioned me before?"

"Say it, say it often!"

"So how did she start talking about me?"

"The girl feels that you have suffered a lot at such a young age, and she wants to firmly support you..."

"Wait... what did you say in your last sentence?"

"It's nothing~ It's just that the girl said she felt you've suffered a lot at such a young age..."

"Okay, I understand!"

I finally know where the problem lies...

You go and serve them~

"Young Master, I haven't even started speaking yet~"

"No need to say anything, I already know."

A few days later, Qianyan took a break.

Instead of going to the training ground early in the morning, he chose a time around the same time Huai Sheng usually wakes up to practice his swordplay in the main courtyard.

When Huaisheng woke up, he heard the sound of swords clashing outside. Qingtian's bed next to him was empty; she must have gotten up early and gone out.

Huai Sheng, still half asleep, pushed the window open a crack. The view outside, along with the cold wind, instantly woke him up.

Outside the window, Qianyan had tied her hair up and was wearing only a single garment, her sword flowing gracefully as she performed the Dragon Soaring Technique.

His collar had become loose from practicing martial arts, occasionally revealing glimpses of his chest and abdominal muscles.

Huai Sheng's eyes lit up, his gaze fixed on Qian Yan.

Qianyan glanced at Huaisheng at the window and a slight smile appeared on her lips:

That's the look I'm looking at!
