Chapter 20: Horse Racing
Mama Sun was placed in the outer courtyard of Mu Mansion, and went to the inner courtyard for two hours a day to teach Mu Zhiling the daily etiquette of the three people. Mu Zhiling and Mu Zhixuan are both quick learners, while Mu Zhishuang is a little younger, so her requirements are lower.
In her spare time, Mu Zhiling sneaked to Imperial Doctor Zhang's residence to ask for a few medical skills.
Since Grandma Sun arrived at Mu's house, she couldn't sleep peacefully every night, thinking about the scene where her mother was poisoned by that evil woman in her previous life, she was worried for a while.
The scene was so thrilling that every time I woke up, my forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.
If only she could have sensed that something was wrong with her mother at that time, or if she could understand medical skills and save her mother, it would have been great.
Such remorseful and powerless thoughts occupied her whole mind, as if she could only turn over those boring medical techniques day and night to calm her heart that was not stopped by fear.
When Song Yingzhao and Zheng Li arrived at the Yingguo Mansion again, Mu Zhiling was locking herself in the room, staring intently at the medical book in her hand. She doesn't ask for a pot to help the world, she doesn't have that kind of talent, and now she just wants to keep the people she cares about safe.
There was a knock knock outside the door.
"Little Fifth Sister, are you there?"
Mu Zhiling opened the door and saw Song Yingzhao head-on.
After seeing Mu Zhiling's pale face, Song Yingzhao's smile froze on her face, and she was stunned for a while and said, "Little Fifth Sister, are you sick?" ”
Mu Zhiling touched her somewhat cold forehead, tried her best to pull out a fairly innocent smile, and her voice was lighter: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your concern, I'm fine." ”
Song Yingzhao stared at Mu Zhiling thoughtfully, nodded, and a smile bloomed on her face again.
Mu Zhiling saw Zheng Li standing behind Song Yingzhao, walked out of the door, and said, "Brother Li! ”
The voice was much more cheerful.
Zheng Li touched her head, and a row of neat and snow-white teeth was exposed, "How is the little fifth sister lately?" ”
Mu Zhiling nodded and shook her head again.
Zheng Li bent down with some confusion and asked, "But you're not happy?" ”
Mu Zhiling lowered her head and didn't speak, Song Yingzhao's good-looking brows furrowed, and suddenly said: "Little fifth sister, when you're unhappy, you can be happy when you go out for a walk." Tomorrow is off, do you want to go out with us? Tomorrow we will accompany the prince in horse racing. ”
Mu Zhiling turned her head to look at Song Yingzhao's eager gaze, and then looked at Zheng Li, and finally agreed.
Instead of feeling more and more depressed at home, it is better to go out and relax.
Song Yingzhao held Mu Zhiling's shoulders with both hands with some excitement and said, "Since that's the case, then we'll come to pick you up tomorrow?" ”
Mu Zhiling nodded lightly.
But at this moment, a gentle voice came from not far away: "Fifth sister! ”
Mu Zhixuan walked quickly to the three of them through the courtyard wall, saw Song Yingzhao and Zheng Li, and saluted in a proper manner: "I have seen Zhao Xiaowangye, Li Shizi." ”
Mu Zhixuan was wearing a light blue short shirt, her complexion was much more ruddy than before, and her skin was much whiter and tenderer. The eyes, which were already good-looking, are now even more charming. Although he is less than seven years old, he can vaguely see the beautiful appearance when he grows up.
Mu Zhiling's gaze swept over Mu Zhixuan, she was stunned for a long time, took Mu Zhixuan's hand, and said, "Sister Xuan!" Why did you come here all of a sudden? ”
Mu Zhixuan said softly: "I felt bored, so I came to find my sister, besides, my sister's face doesn't seem to be very good these days, I'm a little worried." ”
Is she really obvious? Did everyone find out?
Holding Mu Zhixuan's hand, Mu Zhiling shook her head and said, "I'm fine, Sister Xuan don't worry." ”
Mu Zhixuan timidly glanced up at Song Yingzhao and Zheng Li, and said, "Little Prince Zhao and Li Shizi ......"
"Brother Zhao and Brother Li are going to race horses tomorrow, and tomorrow I will join Brother Zhao and Brother Li to cheer them on, Sister Xuan, will you go?"
Mu Zhixuan's eyes lit up, but they dimmed instantly, "Can I really do it?" She looked at Song Yingzhao with burning eyes.
Song Yingzhao is undeniable.
Mu Zhiling's voice was raised: "Of course you can, Sister Xuan hasn't seen a horse race yet, that scene is spectacular." ”
Mu Zhixuan's breathing was a little short, she took Mu Zhiling's hand and nodded with a smile.
In her previous life, Mu Zhixuan had always been bland, and she was locked in a deep house all her life, depressed all day long. Mu Zhiling remembered that when she got married, Mu Zhixuan, who was three months older than her, was still in the boudoir, and then the Mu family was down, she married a down-and-out old marquis and filled the house, and then what happened, she didn't know.
At that time, she was too busy to take care of herself, how could she inquire about other people's affairs.
After having the memories of her previous life, although she only got along for a few days, Mu Zhiling could feel Mu Zhixuan's real concern for her.
It would be a wonderful thing for her to let her go with her.
Song Yingzhao and Zheng Li walked outside the courtyard, and Zheng Li wanted to go to the courtyard where Mu Yu was. Since Xiao Yuning found a husband for Mu Yu, Mu Yu moved back to his previous residence.
But Song Yingzhao snorted coldly: "What do you care about him? A weak and incompetent scholar. ”
"You are not allowed to say that about him, he is our good brother." Zheng Li suppressed the smile on his face on weekdays, and his voice was a little colder.
Song Yingzhao stared at his distant back, his fists clenched.
The next day, Mu Zhiling only wore an extremely simple light green short-sleeved Luo skirt, Yuemei hugged the shell, and stood outside the door waiting for Mu Zhiling with Mu Zhixuan's personal maid Qiuju.
And Mu Zhixuan is wearing a light pink fairy dress, and the whole person is much more energetic than usual.
When the orange-red morning sun jumped from the top of the mountain, the group had already reached the mountain.
Mu Zhiling took Mu Zhishuang's hand, saluted respectfully to the two figures, one yellow and one white, and said, "See the crown prince, see the five princes." ”
Seeing this, the prince smiled evilly: "Has the sun come out in the west?" The little five of the Mu family actually learned to salute? However, the fifth prince Song Yingjia smiled faintly, looked at Mu Zhixuan, and said with some doubts: "Who is this?" ”
"This is my third sister, Mu Zhixuan."
Mu Zhixuan saluted again.
The prince raised his eyebrows invisibly, glanced at Mu Zhixuan, and turned to leave.
The crown prince Song Yingke is thirteen years old, but he is tall, born with divine power, and his riding and archery skills are even better. At the age of seven, he could shoot at the height of a horse, and at the age of ten, he hunted with Emperor Mingde, and shot an adult elk that was running.
It's a pity that there is courage and no strategy, and there is no powerlessness, but it is calculated by others and does not know.
Mu Zhiling looked at the tall figure and shook her head and sighed gently, but this invisible move was noticed by Song Yingjia, and he was puzzled: "What's wrong with the little fifth sister?" ”
Mu Zhiling came back to her senses and said hurriedly: "It's nothing ......"
Song Yingjia suddenly took her hand and said softly: "Then let's hurry over, the horse race will start in a while." ”
Mu Zhiling nodded stunned, looking at the five princes who were as warm as jade in front of her, and was in a trance. The five princes of the previous life went to the fief at the age of twenty, and Emperor Mingde ordered him not to return to Kyoto for the rest of his life.
When she learned the news in her previous life, she remembered that she had asked her mother, but her mother just shook her head and said nothing.
