Chapter Twenty-Six: The Five Princesses
Mu Chenghuang pinched the letter paper in his hand, it was snowing outside, she and Mu Qinyi had been living in this courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing for half a month, here, every day was as if they were in a prosperous age, she knew that the situation was turbulent now, and the reason why she was able to live a stable life was simply because Mu Qinyi didn't want her to come into contact with those bad news.

But the more this is the case, the more she wants to share some of the burden for Mu Qinyi, especially seeing that Mu Qinyi is busy in the study every day and every night, but she is so idle that she only embroiders and cooks every day.
However, this morning, the news that Red Sleeves brought to her was like a thunderbolt in her heart.
"Go and see if the ginseng and black chicken on the stove are cooked, if it is good, bring it to the prince. Mu Chenghuang commanded the red sleeves outside the door, and after the red sleeves left, she once again spread out the letter in her hand and opened the red sleeves, not to prevent her, but the red sleeves had a deep friendship with her grandmother, and the news in her hand happened to be bad news about her grandmother.
"Xiang Yunshan?" Mu Chenghuang tried hard to recall this strange and familiar name, but he couldn't remember Xiang Yunshan's exact face, and could only say that Xiang Yunshan was very similar to his mother Concubine Rufei, as if carved out of a mold, especially the temperament exuded from his body.
Probably because of this sense of intimacy, Mu Chenghuang didn't have much affection for Xiang Yunshan from the beginning, but he didn't reject or hate it.
But the news that Shen Ke sent to her was that Xiang Yunshan is now actually in charge of the Xiang family, and Shen Ke checked around Lingnan, and there was very little news about the Lingnan Xiang family before, and finally found the Lingnan Xiang family's mansion, but it had been emptied, and the neighbors said that some time ago, the Xiang family received the news that the girl in the capital had settled down, saying that they had settled down in the capital, and they wanted to take the two old people to live a good life in the capitalγ
But for the matter of the girl from the Xiang family inviting her parents to the capital, Shen Ke, who was in the capital at the time, had never heard of it, and besides, Xiang Yunshan was living with Mrs. Xiang at that time, and if she wanted to bring her parents to live in Beijing, she had to nod to the old lady.
It's very strange, this Xiang Yunxian is very strange.
Moreover, the two old men of the Xiang family are nowhere to be found.
Mu Chenghuang squeezed the news in his hand, and burned it in the candlestick at hand, the ashes were as light as catkins, but Mu Chenghuang's heart sank heavily.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the red sleeves were still holding hot ginseng black chicken soup in her hand, her steps were very steady, and the soup in her hand was not spilled at all, but the noodles were a little anxious, and her steps were in a hurry.
"Five princesses, five princes...... The fifth prince came, in the prince's study. β
Mu Chenghuang stood up and frowned slightly, but his tone was still happy: "The fifth prince has been released from prison?" Mu Chenghuang said while carrying his skirt towards Mu Qinyi's courtyard, and the red sleeves took the cloak for Mu Chenghuang, and said: "No, after the servant girl and the monk Shangshu next to Concubine Rou Niangniang were convicted, Emperor Xiyi began to investigate this matter thoroughly, I heard that the five princes were released yesterday, and the prince was also punished and grounded. β
Mu Chenghuang's footsteps paused slightly, although so, Mu Chenghuang always felt that Feng Youzhen actually knew that Feng Xun was framed by someone from the beginning, but why did he have to take such a trip, including now that Feng Xun has been released, such a big thing as collaborating with the enemy and treason has been "investigated" in less than half a month? This is obviously just Feng Youzhen himself changed his mind and did not want to sacrifice Feng Xun.
Moreover, even if this matter has passed, there is a more complicated and important thing waiting for Mu Qinyi and her, Mu Chenghuang frowned slightly, and happened to see the bamboo wind that was already able to walk on crutches from the opposite corridor.
"Better?" Mu Chenghuang looked at Zhu Feng wearing a robe with dark lines and branches, and the belt around his waist was loose, revealing his thinness and weakness even more, but this face was much better than before, and it was finally a little bloody, but this demeanor was always a kind of sickness, or rather, it was a temperament that regarded death as home.
Zhu Feng looked at Mu Chenghuang with a shallow smile, his eyes were full of brother-like doting, so that Mu Chenghuang was a little unaccustomed to it, she had only had a sister, not a brother, after all, Mu Yuanan could not give birth to a boy.
"Much better. Zhu Fengdao, "Go to the prince?"
If it weren't for the heavy snow that was blowing outside, Xiyi's unique snow, reminding Mu Chenghuang that she was now in a foreign country, she would really feel that she was still in Dashun now, just in an ordinary courtyard, greeting and asking her family.
"Yes. Mu Chenghuang rubbed his hands that were a little cold at first, and the red sleeves handed Mu Chenghuang a soup woman, Mu Chenghuang glanced down at Zhu Feng and found that Zhu Feng's pale knuckles were exposed, and only the joints exuded frozen red powder.
"Here you go. Mu Chenghuang did not hesitate to stuff the warm and hot soup woman in his hand into Zhufeng's hand, "You have cold hands, and you don't wear much." Mu Chenghuang opened his mouth and wanted to continue, but he felt that he was a little chattering, closed his mouth, didn't speak, and Zhu Feng took the soup woman, and his face suddenly showed a taste of happiness and contentment, "It's good." Zhu Feng continued, "I didn't expect that one day I would be able to stand and chat with you like this, Su Nuan, if the father and mother knew, they would be very happy." β
The title of father and queen mother, Mu Chenghuang sounded a little rusty, but he still responded to Zhu Feng lightly on his face: "Where are you going?"
"The prince is looking for me. Zhufeng replied truthfully, "There may be something." β
Feng Xun came, Mu Qinyi went to Zhufeng, Mu Chenghuang knew that these three men had important things to discuss, and originally wanted to go to Mu Qinyi's heart, but it instantly condensed, she always had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, Mu Qinyi was willing to let her worry too much, and Zhufeng could tell herself something after all.
"Recently, is there anything important?" asked Mu Chenghuang.
Zhu Feng's smiling appearance always gave people a feeling of light and light, he rubbed his fingers back and forth on the crutches, and changed the soup woman that Mu Chenghuang gave himself from the left hand side to the right hand side, and just responded: "It's still those things." β
Mu Chenghuang still wanted to ask something, but on the other side, Baibu Yang came over and invited Zhufeng to come over, saying that the prince had been waiting for some time, and when he raised his eyes and saw Mu Chenghuang, he didn't have an embarrassed god, but said to Mu Chenghuang by the way: "Fifth princess, the five princesses are also here, and they are resting in the back garden, and the prince said, if you are free, you can take the five princesses around." β
Let Mu Chenghuang take the five princesses around? This is the courtyard of the five princes, and the five princesses should have turned around everywhere, but Mu Chenghuang understood what Baibu Yang and Mu Qinyi meant, but he still didn't want her to participate in these complicated things, in this case, Mu Chenghuang had to ask for news later, and Mu Chenghuang had heard of this fifth princess Zhao Yuping before, and she was also a tiger girl, and when the five princes were in trouble, she also helped a lot from it, and she was a loving and righteous woman worthy of dating.
"That's very good. Mu Chenghuang said with a smile, "This is the courtyard of the Five Princes, I think the Five Princes are more familiar than me, and I also want to go around." β
Baibu Yang nodded, and ordered the people behind him to use a soft sedan chair to carry Zhufeng directly to the study, but was rejected by Zhufeng, he was almost exhausted in the sedan chair, and always wanted to walk by himself.
Mu Chenghuang saw Baibu Yang and Zhufeng leave, but when he turned around, he saw Zhou Lingxi coming from the direction where the two left, said a few words to Baibu Yang, and seemed to hand Baibu Yang something, looked at Baibu Yang and smiled contentedly, and hehehe, he handed Zhou Lingxi the Dong ** in the placket, with a rare flush on his face, and continued to walk with Zhufeng.
Mu Chenghuang frowned slightly, and Zhou Lingxi came over to say hello to Mu Chenghuang. After a few words, Mu Chenghuang couldn't hold back, and asked directly: "The Lingxi County Lord and the Hundred Guards are very familiar?"
"No," Zhou Lingxi tilted his head and thought about it very seriously, "One of his gloves was torn before, and I looked very uncomfortable, so I asked him to give it to me, so that I could make up for him, I am also idle and have nothing to do, the prince's affairs, the fifth princess, you are all working hard, I am every day, like an idle person, and I am also bored." β
It's not just Zhou Lingxi, Mu Chenghuang himself is about to get sick in this courtyard, Mu Chenghuang stretched his neck back, and looked at Zhou Lingxi suspiciously, Lingxi was originally an extremely kind girl, she knew this, but this kind of thing was still proposed to make up for people, but it was not like Zhou Lingxi would do it.
"You don't want to borrow the hand of the captain of the hundred guards to off that man. β
"Which one?" Zhou Lingxi asked indifferently.
Mu Chenghuang paused, listening to Zhou Lingxi's tone, as if he really didn't take that person seriously, but she was the one who cried to Luo Ping before, and now she didn't care about it, Mu Chenghuang didn't believe that Zhou Lingxi's dead brain could come out all at once.
"That's it," Mu Chenghuang waved his hand, "The fifth princess is here, you and I will accompany others to visit the garden, don't let people be bored, after all, this is someone's place, and we have to be polite and polite if we occupy someone's house." β
Zhou Lingxi nodded, but a trace of unnaturalness flashed on his face, although it was only a momentary expression, he was still caught by Mu Chenghuang.
For Zhao Yuping, Mu Chenghuang has always had a good impression, although he has not seen her, he has heard a lot of things about her.
Therefore, as soon as he saw Zhao Yuping's back in the small garden, Mu Chenghuang first observed her, and then stepped forward with a smile and said: "I heard that the layout of this courtyard was designed by the five princesses themselves, and this place is beautiful with snow and red plums, and it is also thanks to the blessing of the five princesses, Chenghuang is fortunate to see this scene." β...
