The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

Chapter 147 Past Life 1 (Xie Yaochuan's PerspectiveMu Yunshang)

He specifically asked, and the man said he only hit him lightly and didn't use any force at all.

So he specially summoned the physician in his household to take his pulse, but he was still unconscious.

Is Xie Yaochuan really that useless?

-

Xie Yaochuan sat up with a severe headache, looked at the mist in front of him, and stood up to walk towards the sound.

"Zixun!" A clear voice came from above.

Xie Yaochuan raised his head, and a woman in red with her dark hair tied up high smiled wildly at him.

He spread his arms and jumped down from the wall.

He instinctively opened his arms and hugged it tightly.

He quietly watched the woman laughing unrestrainedly; was she the maid from the palace?

Yet there's something different about her; it's as if she was always meant to be this free and unrestrained, doing whatever she pleased.

"Yunshang, I've told you so many times, it's dangerous. If I hadn't caught her..." Her mouth opened involuntarily.

The two words "Yunshang" were spoken intimately and tenderly.

Xie Yaochuan was struck dumb.

Yunshang?

Mu Yunshang?

Yunshang nimbly jumped down from his arms and tapped his head. "What Yunshang? You should call me 'sister.' No respect for elders. Isn't it because you've never practiced martial arts since you were little? If you had been more serious from a young age, would you have been unable to catch me?"

Not practicing martial arts?

Wasn't he learning martial arts with Yun Chao at Grandpa An's place?

"Sister Yunshang, dear sister. It was my fault, I was too lazy." Xie Yaochuan followed her words, shuffling closer to her and tentatively reaching out to take her hand.

Mu Yunshang suddenly turned her head.

Both of them froze on the spot.

too close.

Their breaths mingled, and they were about to kiss each other in the next instant.

Xie Yaochuan silently moved closer, looking at Yunshang's slightly flushed face, and pressed his lips against hers little by little.

Mu Yunshang suddenly pinched his face, "You're so young and you're already learning bad habits. Is this something you should be doing to your older sister?"

Mu Yunshang blushed all the way to her ears, but she still maintained the demeanor of an older sister, frowning as she lectured Xie Yaochuan.

Xie Yaochuan smiled, his naturally fox-like eyes appearing even more affectionate now, as if nothing in the world mattered to him except her.

He gently took her fair hand in his, held it tightly in his palm, and approached her step by step, pinning her against the wall. He looked down into her somewhat evasive eyes.

He buried his face in her neck and blew gently on it.

Mu Yunshang froze, wanting to say something, but unable to utter a single word.

It seems like this shouldn't be happening.

But then again, I feel that this is how it should be done.

Xie Yaochuan hugged her slender waist and whispered in her ear, "Sister, Zixun should learn anything you teach me, but there's one thing I don't really want to do. How about I teach you?"

Mu Yunshang blinked nervously, looking at her neighbor's younger brother who had suddenly changed, feeling somewhat frightened.

"I heard that the Mu family is trying to arrange a marriage for you, sister. What do you think of me, sister?" Xie Yaochuan gently stroked her fair face, slowly moving closer.

Mu Yunshang had never seen him like this before. Her legs went weak, but he held her tightly in his arms, preventing her from moving.

"Since my sister doesn't speak, I'll take it as her consent."

Just as Mu Yunshang was about to speak, a kiss landed on her lips.

They stopped her from saying what she was about to say.

A spring breeze swept by, scattering peach blossoms all over the ground.

After a long while, Xie Yaochuan finally let go of her and firmly supported her limp body.

Suddenly, a voice came from inside.

Mu Yunshang quickly turned her back, wiped the water stains from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and glared at him, but with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

Xie Yaochuan looked at her slightly reddened lips and a smile appeared on his own lips.

"Young Miss!" The maid rushed over as soon as she saw her standing under the peach tree. "His Majesty has issued an imperial decree. He says he wants to marry a girl from the Mu family."

Xie Yaochuan's eyes suddenly darkened, and he immediately turned to look at Mu Yunshang.

Mu Yunshang's eyelashes trembled slightly, her brows furrowed with some confusion. She lifted her red skirt and was about to leave with her maid.

Xie Yaochuan's hands were suddenly empty, and there was a hint of grievance in his eyes, like an abandoned dog looking pitifully at Yunshang as she left.

"Sister~"

Hearing his somewhat aggrieved voice, Mu Yunshang shook her head at him, "The Emperor knows Yunnan, and I'm afraid he's going to marry her. Yunnan has always wanted to be a great general, so I have to go and appease her."

Hearing that she didn't seem angry with him, Xie Yaochuan's eyes lit up, and he moved closer. Seeing a maidservant beside him, he didn't dare to overstep his bounds and stood respectfully to her side.

However, there was always a slight smile on his lips.

The fact that she wasn't angry means she didn't dislike what he did, which means she also likes him.

They were mutually in love.

When Mu Yunshang arrived at the front hall, the eunuch in charge of delivering imperial edicts had already left long ago.

Only Yunnan knelt in the hall, shouting defiantly, "My eldest sister isn't even married yet, so how come it's my turn? I'm destined to be a great general! Which of the younger generation of the An and Mu families can defeat me? I don't want to go into that harem and fight with a bunch of women for my affections!"

Mu Yunshang hurriedly stepped forward and took the imperial edict from her mother's hands, unfolding it to read the words on it.

The Emperor wants to make Yunnan his Empress?

Mu Yunshang found it hard to imagine what Yunnan would be like if she entered the imperial harem.

Wouldn't that turn the entire harem upside down?

This is really inappropriate.

“Mother, this matter is indeed somewhat inappropriate. She is not suitable for Yunnan.”

An Wan sighed softly and looked at the two of them quietly. "If only half of Yunnan had you..." An Wan didn't finish her sentence before she frowned and looked at her high-tied black hair. "Don't learn these nonsense from your sister."

"How come all the other girls are so well-educated and refined, while none of my daughters know anything about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting? If either of you were even remotely accomplished in these areas, I wouldn't have to worry about your marriages every day. And Yunnan! How did you manage to offend the Emperor?"

Yunnan opened his mouth, then immediately closed it again, looking speechless, and said, "How was I supposed to know that a beggar I picked up on a whim would become an emperor? I don't like him either! What's he called..."

"Call, call... call what again?"

Yunshang spoke silently, then added in a low voice, "It's called repaying kindness with enmity."

"Yes, that's ingratitude! That bastard Qi Yuan, next time you see him, break his legs!" Yunnan clenched his fist and waved his arm silently, his face full of indignation.

An Wan slammed her hand on the table, glared at Mu Yunnan, and scolded, "You really have a lot of nerve! How can you just casually utter the Emperor's name? With your wretched nature, I don't know what the Emperor sees in you? Or is it that you offended him and he's deliberately retaliating against you?"

The second half of the sentence was noticeably quieter.
