After the Princess Xiangyang left the South study, she looked at the courtyard with a complicated gaze. Only the rustling of leaves could be heard within the courtyard in response to the woman who was constantly surrounded by conspiracy.
"Princess?" Ning Xiang, who was behind him, also looked back, but she did not see anything strange.
Princess Xiangyang only felt that the sound of the mulberry leaves was like a sharp sword that pierced deep into her heart. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Ning Xiang, when did the Duke planted a mulberry tree in front of his study?"
Wasn't this a call to everyone? Wasn't this a call to everyone? Had he never forgotten that woman in his heart?
"This servant doesn't know!" Ning Xiang tilted her head and frowned. She couldn't remember when those mulberry trees in front of the Duke's study room appeared. It seemed to be there a long time ago.
"Is that so?" In truth, she had long since noticed that those mulberry trees were not new. It was just that before, she had overlooked those women who wanted to climb to the Prince's Mansion, and had never paid attention to them.
"I heard that the village girl came to Xiangyang?!"
Her voice was soft and delicate. If one wasn't careful, they would miss it.
Ning Xiang sighed in her heart. She missed her cousin more and more, but she had no hope in this life.
"I don't know, I don't know, you don't know anything at all. What does this wangfei want you for!" She stretched out her long fingernail and pinched her arm.
Ning Xiang could only hold back her tears as she did not dare move, allowing the Princess Xiangyang to vent the anger in her heart.
Only then did Princess Xiangyang stop her hands. She reached out and caressed her stomach as she said, "It's all thanks to you reminding me that Ning Xiang, you've suffered, this wangfei's heart is also very bitter!"
Ning Xiang remained silent. She missed her cousin more and more, only he would truly care for her, only he would sincerely care for her …
"Ning Xiang, a message came over, saying that the village lady has already been betrothed to a loyal." bastard son sneered, her heart releasing her anger. bastard son was also not a place where people liked to stand, how could she have the glory of a first-rate daughter, just like a lucky girl like her. Because she was a first-rate daughter, she betrothed to Su Ruirui as his consort.
"Yes, wangfei. How could she have a noble background?" Ning Xiang answered honestly. She was afraid of Su Ruirui, she did not want to be a maid worker.
Princess Xiangyang sized her up for a moment. Her long nails brushed across her face and said, "Ning Xiang, when I give birth to my son, I will allow you to give birth to a prince."
Ning Xiang lowered her head to hide the sorrow in her eyes and said hurriedly: "This servant only wants to properly serve Princess Concubine my entire life." Her body was dirty and she could never go back with her cousin.
"Alright, you are the most useful person to me. You should have the blessings of the woman beside you. It's rare for you to have such intentions, so if you have a new daughter, you can bring her to my side to be raised with me and have a good family in the future."
Princess Xiangyang was in a much better mood because of her expectations for him.
"Hmph, just because you've come to the Xiangyang and dared to denounce me in front of the prince, do you really think that this wangfei is useless!?"
Ning Xiang forehead was covered in cold sweat. She wanted to advise Princess Xiangyang, but the burning pain on her arms reminded her not to say too much.
"Esteemed wangfei, everything is far behind. I hope that wangfei won't get angry so that I can raise my son well."
"Your mouth is the sweetest. I was too angry just now. Come on, I'll reward you with this pearl step!"
The Princess Xiangyang smiled even more amiably, but within her smile, there was only a flash of blade light and shadow, it was completely cold. It was a smile that came as a surprise after getting rid of it, Ning Xiang felt her scalp go numb, she stood there motionlessly like a log.
"So beautiful!" The Princess Xiangyang personally helped her insert it.
Ning Xiang quickly said: "Thank you, Royal Concubine!"
In her memory, the charming girl who was smiling like a sunflower would probably die soon. Ning Xiang felt that the scorching summer day was not even worth as much as the chilliness coming from the bottom of his heart.
Princess Xiangyang continued to walk towards the backyard with a smile on her face. How dare you take away the prince's heart, Mu Rousang! Next year's court will be your memorial day.
Mu Rousang innocently sneezed. Chun Yan, who was walking by the side of the palanquin heard it and asked: "Miss, did you feel the wind cold when you were at the bow of the ship?"
She covered her face with a fan and smiled through the screen. "Chun Yan, you're too worried. It's just that your nose is a little itchy. It's not like you're thinking about me."
Chun Yan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the sedan chair. He smiled and said, "Of course it's our future Young Master."
"Chun Yan, have you been getting close to Chun Yi recently?" Mu Rousang suddenly asked.
Chun Yan did not understand and asked, "Why do you ask?"
"Because your young lady has discovered that the thickness of your face is getting closer and closer to Chun Yi."
"Miss!" Chun Yan lightly stomped his foot, twisted his waist and walked a few steps to the front of the palanquin.
"Ai, that girl Chun Yun, when did she become so high-spirited? She can't keep a girl around anymore!"
Mu Fengchai smiled, bent his eyes, and said: "Obviously it was my elder cousin who was teasing her. Chun Yun had already seen through it, he didn't want you to tease him like a monkey, so he dodged it."
Mu Rousang laughed and did not speak, the palanquin continued for about half an hour before it reached the Liu family courtyard. It was not too far away from the Xiangyang Academy, and a lot of students wearing uniform traveled there, the entire street smelling of ink.
"Miss, we're here!" The palanquin fell to the ground, and Chun Yan pulled up the curtain. Then, one by one, Chun Yi and Chun Cao reached out and pulled the two out.
In front, Mu Jinzhi and the others had already got off the palanquin. Mu Rousang raised his eyes to look, and saw that the palanquin was directly brought to the drooping flower gate.
The old granny who was guarding the door came over: "The Third Miss is here, my wife and my daughter are waiting at home!"
Mu Rousang did not pay attention to them as she looked around. Chun Yan knew what she was thinking and quickly went forward to report in a low voice, "Young miss, the young masters' palanquins have been carried directly to the guest courtyard in front."
"Let's go to the inner courtyard to see my mother first!"
When the Wives heard this, he hurriedly led the way. Those who had good legs already rushed to the inner courtyard to report it.
After passing through the alley, they arrived at the backyard. Lady Liu had already came out to welcome them with red eyes, but when she saw Mu Rousang coming in, she hurriedly went forward to hug her and said: "Good daughter, you're finally here. It's been a year since I last saw you, and you've grown quite a bit."
Mu Rousang bowed politely towards the lass, and then wrapped her arm around the Lady Liu's arm and called out: "Mistress."
Her voice was clear and delicate like the cry of a oriole.
"Sigh, good girl, let's go to your Second Sister first. She is a bride now, so she can't leave the room."
Mu Rousang pursed her lips into a light smile and said: "I had originally wanted to come here on the day of the Make up, but ended up in the Xiangyang's territory. I encountered many obstacles, but ended up delaying for some time along the way."
Lady Liu sighed: "Your Majesty is old, and has chosen to cultivate and fix canals which raise grievances in all directions. The vassal lords of various lands are also restless, and a while ago, assassins barged into the prince's mansion. Fortunately, they were repelled by the guards of the manor."
What she said was already discussed among the nobles, so it was no secret.
When Mu Rousang heard this, she could only chuckle. The matters regarding the imperial government seemed to be far from her, as long as her brothers were safe and sound.
The two of them talked as they walked to Liu Guixiang's room. The little girl had long raised the curtain to serve him, so Mu Rousang followed Lady Liu into the room.
"Sister, you're finally here!" Liu Guixiang had already received the news and walked out from the room, followed by a woman with a red cotton thread.
Mu Rousang was not in a hurry either, smiling as she asked: "What are you trying to do? If I don't come for Second Sister's grand wedding, how will I dare to visit again in the future? It'd be weird if you don't want to swallow me alive. "
Liu Guixiang called out: "Mother, I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so it's great that you're accompanying me right now, speaking to me like this is going to hurt your face!"
"Open face?" Mu Rousang knew another meaning behind making a face, it was regarding the maid.
Liu Guixiang was dressed in a pink dress, her black hair flowing freely, when she heard him she laughed sweetly: "Did you see that, it's that woman's hand with red lines, saying that she's going to use this to pull the hair on my face, the heaven and earth can see, how can there be any hair on my face!"
Lady Liu laughed: "Child, you are going to get married tomorrow. You still look like a child that hasn't grown up!" As she said that, she felt another wave of sadness, his two daughters married off one by one. Liu Guizhi followed Wei Anping to the capital, and from then on, they never saw each other again.
Mu Rousang was acutely aware of her emotions and laughed: "Mother, don't be sad. Big sister already has a body, and now, she's about to give birth in the winter. I heard that this year, there are many males that were born, and even my elder sister Bao has become a male in one fell swoop.
Liu Guixiang also laughed: "Mother, when we get back to the capital, you can stay with us."
"Of course, mother, one day, when my godfather no longer wants to be a mountain lord, he will go to the capital. My brother, big sister and Second Sister and I will be filial to the two elders!"
Mu Rousang's mouth was extremely sweet, just these words were enough to touch the heart of Lady Liu, it was a great regret that she was unable to give birth to a son for her entire life.
"Now that all of you have grown up and your mothers are old, when you are married into your families, it is no more convenient to act than it is to act within your own homes. Do not expect your parents to love you like their mothers do; do not be angry with their wives if you lower your head in everything."
The corner of Lady Liu's eyes moistened, her heart was very sad. A mere two little peas, now that she had fallen so gracefully, she could still remember the scene when she saw Mu Rousang for the first time, but she did not expect to have such a deep affinity with him.
Mu Rousang felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little heavy, she reached out to pat her head and cried out: "Aiyaya, I forgot about one thing."
The moment Liu Guixiang sat down, she just happened to see the masked woman bringing a red thread over. Just as she was about to scream, she was startled by Mu Rousang and couldn't help but laugh, causing the atmosphere in the room to soften by a lot.
