Seeing the spring breeze blowing in, Qing Shui put down the embroidered tang in his hand and gently tied his black hair behind his ears. He then said with a gentle smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? If aunty sees this, she'll beat you up."
"Young Mistress, this is a big matter! This servant went to deliver lunch to our Young Master earlier, and on the way back, guess what this servant heard? "
Spring Breeze was not worried at all for his late return. Instead, he ran over with blinking eyes for Mu Rousang to guess.
"Is there any new changes in the capital at this time of year?"
Mu Rousang was a little worried about the little mountain village.
"Hmm, when I returned from the yamen, I saw two Schiisches talking about King Ding and King Jin, so I opened my mouth and asked, so it turned out that King Ding and King Jin contacted several of the Feudal Lords in the southwest and announced a few days ago that they wanted to …"
At this point, she came over mysteriously. When Spring Scene saw this, she immediately squeezed her head over. Spring Breeze grumbled, "Spring Scene, the silver hairpin on your head hooked into my hair."
Chun Jing reached out his hand to pull the silver hairpin from his head, and then he pulled it away before whispering, "Who told you to talk about secrets like that every time?"
Spring Breeze stroked his scattered hair and replied with a roll of his eyes, "Oh, is it my fault? What did Young Mistress say? As servants, we have to be cautious. Even if I wanted to say it, I'm afraid others will spread it around, so of course we have to whisper it. "
"That's enough, Spring Scene, you can start now. Spring Breeze, hurry up and say it!"
Mu Rousang had a rough idea in her mind, but she didn't want to personally hear any confirmation.
The two vassal lords first released a list, saying that they wanted to destroy the crown prince, that he had usurped power to force the late emperor to his death, and that he should apologize in front of the late emperor's tomb. Today, I also heard from the other two that this was the morning of the second day after the late emperor's reign, that King Jin and King Dingzhou had sent out orders one after the other, saying that it took some time for news to reach the capital, and that even the King of Xiangyang was no exception.
Chun Feng finished speaking in one breath, but Mu Rousang was deep in thought. When she first met Rui Rui, she knew that he was not a simple person, and was afraid that the vassal lords would fight for that chair, and the late emperor's death had become the best excuse, and was an excuse that could be used just and honorably.
It was just as she had guessed, the rumors outside were getting more and more intense, and even some people in the imperial court were trying to force the new emperor to give the late emperor a reason for his death. Of course, those beastmen spoke with dignity, saying that they wanted the new emperor to investigate the truth and reveal his true colors to comfort the late emperor's spirit.
Even someone as lazy as Mu Rousang would not go out of the house to walk around with the two brothers, Zuo Mansion and the Wei Residence anymore. She would obediently stay at home, either eating or tormenting herself, and accompany the Matriarch Yang in hanging off horses.
March 15th was the fixed date for the Yang Mansion's family's dinner. It was just that this year, they lacked the Princess Chung, who had an unparalleled glory. Yang Zizhi only needed to start off when he was thrown over by Prince Chung as he picked up his chopsticks.
"Shut up! If you don't want to eat, then scram!"
When the Prince Chung heard about the matters of the Princess Chung, it was as if a fish that was stuck in the throat, she only wished that she would die early, so as to avoid wasting the food in the manor, let alone Yang Zizhi, her son. With a gentle and refined scholar like Yang Zixuan by the side, it made it seem that Yang Zizhi was greedy for wealth and wine, and that he was doing nothing at all.
The people at the table did not say anything for a while, and the atmosphere in the room also turned cold.
Matriarch Yang said unhappily: "Alright, I am unhappy, but I can't take revenge on my own child. Do you want us to have no appetite?"
"Your son doesn't dare!" Prince Chung was just blowing his beard and glaring at Yang Zizhi when he turned around and smiled at Matriarch Yang.
Mu Rousang was dumbstruck. She didn't even know that the chopsticks in her hand had fallen on the table.
"Your Highness! The Emperor has sent someone to invite you to the Imperial Palace. "
Prince Chung had just changed his chopsticks to pinch his hands, when a long follower came in to report.
"At this time?" Prince Chung suddenly thought of something, frowned and asked casually.
That chief attendant replied, "Yes, the guards that were sent were first-rate palace guards. They even prepared a horse for us."
However, the Prince Chung leisurely replied: "Got it. Go invite the person to the hall first and have a cup of tea, then said that I'm eating right now."
Mu Rousang secretly kicked Yang Zixuan under the table with her small foot. He glanced at Prince Chung and shook his head, indicating for her to eat first and talk later.
When Prince Chung saw the juniors sitting obediently at a table, and saw the Concubine Yan carrying the only grandson of the Prince Zhong's Mansion, he said, "Ru Cheng, can grandpa bring you some snacks later from the palace?"
Ru Cheng was the name of Concubine Yan's son, and the name was given to him personally by Prince Chung only because he was the eldest son of Yang Zizhi.
Concubine Yan had an honest and honest personality, her mother was just a commoner. If it wasn't for Princess Chung protecting her mother back then, she wouldn't have been able to give birth to this child.
"Cheng, thank you grandpa quickly!"
"Ya, ya!" The little fellow pointed at the plate of chicken in front of Prince Chung.
"Good grandson, you sure know how to choose delicious food. Come, grandpa will leave this chicken leg for you." Seeing that Yang Ru Cheng revealed four front teeth, Prince Chung smiled as he picked up the chicken drumstick and placed it into his bowl. Then, he gestured to his wife at the side to serve this Gold Egg properly.
After hearing about the little fellow, the atmosphere in the dining hall became a lot more relaxed. Matriarch Yang then said: "Let's start the meal."
Mu Rousang felt a stomachache just by looking at it. After eating, they would not be able to enjoy their meal, and seeing that their favorite dish was placed further away, she could only sweep her eyes over it, and could not stand up to pick up the dishes!
Awoo, actually, she really wanted to eat that plate of cumin beef!
After the meal, maybe Matriarch Yang was not in a good mood, or maybe he was tired, so he sent everyone back to their own courtyard, then went to rest.
Could it be that Yang Zixuan was home? At this moment, he was taking Mu Rousang for a walk in the backyard, but there was a hint of worry between his brows.
"Husband, do you have something on your mind today?" Mu Rousang was still very concerned about him.
Yang Zixuan pulled her small hand and walked to the side of a flower bed. At this time, the early spring Rose was already exposed, so he reached out and plucked a light pink rose, pinning it to Mu Rousang's bun.
Mu Rousang rolled her eyes and said: "Come on, do you think you can stop trying to play tricks on me?"
"Sigh, I can't hide anything from my wife. It's just that when I saw the flowers in my garden today, I could see the flowers flourishing at the best of times. My heart was filled with emotion. To me, prosperity is inevitable!"
Even though Yang Zixuan hated the Duke Palace and even hated them, he could not deny that he had very deep and complicated feelings towards them.
Then he continued, "Since I was six years old, I followed mother back to this house and stayed here ever since. Afterwards, I married my wife here, but I just wanted to part ways so that I wouldn't be too sad."
Mu Rousang's black eyes sparkled as she asked happily, "Divide up? Are we moving? You're right. You'll have to do some serious work next year, so it's no longer appropriate for you to stay in a small place like the West Branch. "
Yang Zixuan lovingly reached out his hands to pinch her nose and laughed: "I know that my wife is growing impatient. However, this is not a good time."
"What? You mentioned it yourself just now? I thought it was a good opportunity!" Mu Rousang unhappily shrugged his little nose.
Yang Zixuan lowered his head and laughed, then said: "If Grandmother hears your words, let's see if she will beat you up or not."
Mu Rousang pouted and said unhappily: "Even if I move out to live, I can also come over to visit like I did with my grandmother."
"That makes sense. When the time comes, my wife will have a good place to hide." Yang Zixuan laughed and teased her.
She said half-coquettishly: "Seriously, even if this isn't a good opportunity, why did you mention it?"
Yang Zixuan laughed, "Alright, don't be angry, you must be happy to see no one around today. Besides, the emperor has invited our royal father to the palace, I'm afraid the vassal lords have already taken action."
"They're going to fight a group battle?"
Mu Rousang couldn't help but frown. These vassal lords are going to war with the current emperor? I'm afraid that this year will be another year of unrest, who knows how many civilians are homeless, suffering from the fires of war.
Hearing her words, Yang Zixuan laughed: "They can be considered to be fighting amongst themselves, and it is not just for the sake of seizing the position of clan leader, royal father is afraid that in a few days, he will be leading his troops out to war. I thought of this earlier when I heard the news, that they would leave a few days ago with a letter to send to the small mountain village, I hope that the village head can receive the letter and be prepared for it as soon as possible."
He knew that Mu Rousang had always thought of that place as her roots, the place she was most concerned about.
"Thank you!" Mu Rousang's heart was very moved, and felt even more that choosing Yang Zixuan as her rational self was the most wise decision in her life.
"You and I are husband and wife. Quickly, don't be so foreign."
Yang Zixuan shook his head, then pulled her to continue walking on the small path to eat, which was also considered a form of compensation, as he had been too busy these past few days and had neglected her.
and Yang Zixuan had just finished dinner and after hearing about this, they had a plan in their hearts. She then said softly: My husband is in the rear garden today, so I'm afraid my royal father is busy now.
"Hmm, let's go take a look first!" Yang Zixuan brought Mu Rousang to the main hall, and when they arrived, the couple was the first to arrive.
The Gui Yuan was the farthest from the main hall, and the Matriarch Yang was the one with the highest seniority. Naturally, it could be counted as the last, but Su Waner and Yang Zizhi were not far from the main hall.
"The two of you are here. Sit to the side first. Hmph, someone, go and take a look at that evil creature, why isn't it here yet?"
