Princess Rongle is the aunt of today's saint, the youngest sister of the first emperor, when her brother seized power, she was only fifteen years old and married Cheng Yu, the commander of the Huwei army who was fourteen years older than her. Decades ago, in the Xuanhumen Incident, Cheng Yu exterminated the rebels, turned the tide, and reversed the situation between the government and the opposition. and tried his best to push the first emperor, who was not favored at that time, to the throne, it can be said that if there was no Cheng Yu, this Da Zhou would be surnamed Wei now.

After Princess Rongle married Cheng Yu, although the husband and wife were harmonious, they had nothing for many years, but fortunately, Cheng Yu had a son with a private woman when he was young, so he had no worries about heirs. Ten years ago, Cheng Yu passed away due to illness, and Princess Rongle refused the saint's proposal to take her back to the palace to take care of her, and lived alone in the princess's mansion, except for a few royal descendants and people close to her, no longer interacting with outsiders.

However, Mrs. Yan took care of the young princess when she was young, and after the death of General Cheng Yu, every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Yan had to go to the princess's mansion to accompany Princess Rongle with her old friends.

In previous years, Mrs. Yan took Yan Jingshu to Princess Rongle's mansion together, but this year, because Yan Jingshu followed the Zhao family to learn housekeeping, the opportunity to accompany Mrs. Yan to Princess Rongle's mansion for a banquet fell to Yan Meng.

In his previous life, Yan Meng had never been to the princess's mansion with Mrs. Yan, even when he married King Yue, who was still the fourth prince, he only went to invite Ci'an, and he had a one-sided relationship, and Princess Rongle went not long after, and his understanding of Princess Rongle only stayed in the impression of listening to others.

In her previous life, Yan Meng was in the Buddha Hall at this time, and she had no memory of who accompanied Mrs. Yan to the princess's mansion this year. And why she suddenly called her in this life, she doesn't know. But since you have this opportunity, let's be safe when you come.

That night, Yan Mengzheng listened to Song's mother explain that she was going to the princess's mansion tomorrow, but she didn't expect Yan Chunan to come to the courtyard without explanation.

"Mother Song, how is my sister learning?"

"The girl is smart, and she will learn it." Mother Song said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

What Mother Song said is not a lie, Yan Meng did not correct himself in his previous life, and worked etiquette, what Mother Song said these days, although it is already very detailed, but compared to the teaching and learning of Mama in the palace, it is still a lot worse, and the effect given by Yan Meng these days can always exceed Mother Song's expectations. In Song's mother's impression, even if she is an old man in this mansion, and she is serving Yan Meng wholeheartedly these days, she has to say that Yan Meng's etiquette is indeed inferior to the other two young ladies in the house, and even worse than those young ladies who came out of small households.

And for Yan Meng, she knew that she had a bad demeanor in the past, and this rebirth, in order to prevent others from finding out, she had tried her best to make herself look less regular, but some things had been engraved in her bones, even if she did it deliberately, if someone with a heart would inevitably not see something from the details, but she was used to not being taken seriously in this mansion, even if she was monitored by Mrs. Yan and the people in the big house, she didn't think that the people in this Yan Mansion could see anything.

And for Song's mother, she just thinks that she is a good seedling, and she was not valued in the house before, and she was not discovered. I was still glad in my heart, if Miss Fifth had such an effect and let Mrs. Yan see it, she would have to praise her, and the old lady would read her merits, and her grandson would be easy to walk.

"If you can be praised by Mother Song, that sister must be not bad. She has been practicing day and night for so long, these days I am afraid of disturbing her, I come less often, today I took her to the garden for a walk, to relax. ”

"Yes." After that, Mother Song went to get the cloak and prepared to go out with her.

"Mom, don't follow, let's go shopping." Yan Chunan squeezed his eyes at Yan Meng.

Yan Meng saw that Yan Chunan wanted to say something to her alone, and according to Mother Song, who was impatient and wanted to say something, "I'm going to the princess's mansion tomorrow, and I'm going to bathe today, so mom go to the kitchen and tell me." Yuchen is young, I'm afraid I can't tell. ”

Mother Song compared two things in her heart, and there would be no danger for the fifth lady to follow the fourth young master, thinking that it would be more urgent to do the princess's mansion tomorrow, she pursed her lips, "Yes." ”

"Is my brother looking for me important?"

"Well, follow me."

Yan Chunan has been cautious and cautious since she came out of Youlan Courtyard, Yan Meng was stunned when she saw this, Yan Chunan did not take her to the garden, but...

Huailan Courtyard, Yan Chunan's courtyard.

What did Yan Chunan bring her to his yard for? Could it be that he found out about Du's mother? No, with his brother's ability, he can't find out what Yan Bocheng deliberately concealed, could it be that Yan Bocheng knew that his brother was investigating Du's mother and deliberately revealed the information to him, but if so, why did he hide it?

"Here we are."

Yan Chunan took her from the main gate to Huailan Courtyard, but entered through the side gate.

Yan Meng saw Yan Chunan's mysterious appearance, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. followed Yan Chunan to stop, he didn't take Yan Meng into the house, only stopped in the small pavilion in his backyard.

Turning around, taking advantage of the moonlight, Yan Chunan saw the confusion on Yan Meng's face, "I'm afraid of being discovered." ”

Yan Meng naturally knew that it was only such a deliberate mystery that would cause people to be suspicious, but it shouldn't be anything to think back to Yan Chunan's avoidance of people all the way just now.

"I'm giving you a personal one."

"People?" Yan Meng recalled that Yan Chunan said that he wanted to find a strong girl to come to her, could it be that he said this?

"Well, come out."

I saw a woman approaching from the dark, with wide shoulders and a thick back, looking half a head taller than Yan Meng, "The slave has seen Miss." ”

Yan Meng cast a puzzled gaze at Yan Chunan.

"She is the maid I rescued a few days ago, thinking that you should need a girl with a little more martial arts by your side, I will take you to familiarize myself with it tonight. Her name is Ah Yuan, and she is the same age as Tinghe. ”

That's it? Yan Meng thought that there was a big deal, and this way was so dignified. I was a little speechless for a while, but when I saw a maid, I had to make it so mysterious, but looking at Yan Chunan's solemn appearance, I thought about it, Yan Chunan is not the kind of character who is a soldier of grass and trees, and there must be a reason for such an action. It's about herself, it's just that she asked him to check Du's mother's matter, is it really as she thought, what did Yan Chunan find out?

"Is my brother going to let her go to my hospital in two days?"

"Yes, I've already arranged it, she's been with me for some time, I originally wanted to find a reason to give her to you after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I didn't think that my grandmother would take you to Princess Rongle's mansion, but this is okay, as long as you accompany me to play a play."

"Play what?"

"You ....... it first"

Yan Meng quietly listened to Yan Chunan's plan, Yan Chunan did not tell her all his plans in detail, only explained what Yan Meng should do, but Yan Meng also deduced from his words what Yan Chunan wanted to do, but why was it so?

"What did my brother find out?"

Yan Chunan didn't pause, his mouth opened and a bright smile leaked, "My sister thinks too much, but I will send you a maid, it is still the same as that day, I am afraid that if you meet the situation that the eldest sister encountered that day, listen to the lotus and Yuchen and be thin like anything, this maid is more at ease." ”

"Brother, don't hide it from me."

Yan Chunan was uncomfortable by Yan Meng's fixed eyes, the smile on his face hung on the corner of his mouth, it was not, it was not to continue to laugh, he had never been so helpless in front of Yan Meng, "You go back first." Said to Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan Mumu saluted, turned around and disappeared into the night.

"Hmm... What I said next may be a little difficult for you to accept, but don't worry, everything is with my brother, and it won't make you have anything, okay? Yan Chunan lowered his body, firmly grasped Yan Meng's arm with one hand, and his eyes were full of stars, as if he was giving Yan Meng hope.

Yan Meng nodded solemnly.

"When I investigated the route of Du's mother back to Beijing, I heard that the mountain bandits outside Beijing were rampant a few days ago, and a few days ago I heard that they hijacked a group of caravans returning to Beijing from Lingzhou." Yan Chunan felt the shoulders of his palms tremble slightly, and he couldn't bear to pretend to be relaxed in his heart, "But I haven't received the news yet, I have already sent someone to search whether that batch of caravans is related to Mother Du, Mother Du may..."

"Brother." Yan Meng interrupted Yan Chunan. "Don't worry, I'm not that vulnerable. I had already guessed that Du's mother should not be able to come back. Yan Meng muttered.

Yan Chunan looked at Yan Meng with his head down and was slightly stunned, he didn't know what to say in the face of such a Yan Meng for a while.

"You don't have to make up reasons to make me feel at ease, if Mother Du is safe, she will definitely give me news, so that I don't have to worry about her." Yan Meng's tone was light and fluttering, and his tone was not heavy, it seemed that he had already made mental preparations, but today he just got the exact news.

Yan Meng's voice was not heavy, but it was like a heavy punch to Yan Chunan's heart, he stabilized his trembling hand and touched the broken hair in front of Yan Meng's forehead

"Meng'er can cry if you want to, there is a brother here!"

"Brother, don't check on Du's mother anymore, okay?" Yan Meng raised his head, with expectations in his eyes, "I will accept A-Yuan as my brother said, and I will be careful everywhere, I won't tell others about tonight's incident, I know that my brother must still have doubts, but I begged my brother not to check again, Meng'er is only left with his brother." Yan Meng regretted very much that she let Yan Chunan wade into this troubled water, originally she just wanted to let her attitude out more appropriately through Yan Chunan's mother's matter, and she was also sure that Yan Bocheng had dealt with this matter without leaving a trace, but she underestimated Yan Chunan's ability, Yan Chunan has been smart since he was a child, and this intelligence is not only in schoolwork, but also in the ability to perceive things. But he is not Yan Bocheng's son after all, if he reveals this intelligence and sees Yan Bocheng's secret, Yan Bocheng will inevitably get rid of him, so before Yan Bocheng finds out that he is involved in this matter, he quickly stops and lets her check everything.
