The Hulu sisters and brothers were in the back garden of Princess Pingyang and had a dispute over Zheng Ying. While they were busy arguing, Mu Hongsheng had already followed her grandmother to the princess's front hall.

Princess Pingyang personally came out to greet Mrs. Mu, and after greetings, Princess Pingyang did not order someone to take Mrs. Mu and Mu Hongshang to the welcoming flower hall, but ordered someone to let Mrs. Mu go to the Lanshui Pavilion near the main hall of the princess's mansion.

"There are a lot of guests in the flower hall, and the princess is worried that she will collide with your old man," the maid of Princess Pingyang's mansion said while pouring tea and setting up the fruit quickly: "Also, although spring has begun now, the spring cold has not decreased, and the flower hall is not warm enough, so the princess specially ordered the Lanshui Pavilion warm room to be cleaned up and let you rest." ”

"The princess has a heart." Mrs. Mu owed slightly to show her gratitude.

The maid immediately smiled and said, "This is all as it should be, the princess ordered the slave maid to be sure to serve your old man well." You can rest here in peace, and when the banquet is over, the slave and maid will help you over. Your old man's status is precious, so you don't need to go to the table early to sit and wait. ”

Since the maids have said so, Mrs. Mu has not refused to be polite, she is not in the mood to deal with those noble ladies who come to the banquet, it is better to hide here for a while.

As soon as Mu Hongshang turned around, she originally wanted to sit next to her grandmother to accompany her, but she didn't expect Mrs. Mu to smile directly at her and said, "Hongsheng, you go play, it's rare that the princess specially arranged such a clean and good place for me, so I'll rest here for a while." ”

"I want to accompany my grandmother here," Mu Hongshang replied with a smile, "Where does grandmother want to drive me to?" ”

"Miss Xie Si is afraid that she has been looking forward to you for a long time!" Old Madam Mu smiled and scratched the bridge of her granddaughter's straight nose: "There are so many people serving here, Cuiyun and Cuiliu are also here, you don't have to accompany me, it's rare to go out, just go to your ladies to play." What is the little girl doing here with me, an old woman? ”

Old Madam Mu said this clearly, and Mu Hongsheng immediately understood what she meant. Grandmother is old enough to rest alone in the warm pavilion, but it would not be good if she, a little girl, did not show up. So she nodded obediently, turned around and went out with a water chestnut.

When Mu Hongshang arrived at the flower hall, Xie Shurou was standing beside her grandmother with a small white flower smile on her face, dealing with Zheng Jin who came over to talk. Although Xie Shurou looked gentle and polite on the surface, she was actually very annoyed in her heart, she lowered her eyes, covering her wandering gaze, and was thinking about how to get out of it was more reasonable.

At this time, she suddenly saw two maids hurrying in at the door of the flower hall, one left and one right lifted the curtain of the flower hall high, and outside the door, a figure wearing a crimson dress was about to come in.

Xie Shurou raised her head suddenly, took a closer look in the direction of the door, and found that it was her young lady Mu Hongsheng. She quickly turned her head and smiled at King Yi, "Sister Mu is here." The prince forgives me, I haven't seen Sister Mu for a long time, so let's go and say hello to her first. ”

Xie Shurou and Mu Hongshang are good friends, and they want to play with their little sisters, Zheng Jin not only does not care about it, but encourages it very much. For him, it is never a bad thing for the future princess to be friendly with the eldest lady of the Mu family. Therefore, he even instructed Xie Shurou one more sentence: "Mu Jingluo is sick, Miss Mu should be very worried, Rou'er should comfort her well." ”

Xie Shurou smiled at Zheng Jin and nodded, greeted her grandmother again, and then twisted her willow waist, shook her small fan, and hurriedly ran towards Mu Hongsheng. Odd books

Even if this sister is in a hurry, she is still a little white flower with weak willows and wind, and her image is maintained well. But in front of Mu Hongsheng, it was not the same thing. Mu Hongshang raised a smile at Xie Shurou, and just wanted to say hello, but Xie Shurou rushed over directly and grabbed her wrist, and her hand was very strong.

"What's going on?" Xie Shurou lowered her voice and asked, "Why are you here?" I thought you wouldn't be here today. ”

"I received an invitation at home," Mu Hongshang replied in a low voice: "Princess Pingyang personally wrote it, and grandmother said she was coming." ”

"But ......" Xie Shurou looked at the faint green shadow under Mu Hongsheng's eyes, and couldn't help but show a worried look on her face: "You...... Forget it, let's wait out and say, don't be here, so many people are staring. By the way, how are you alone? Your grandmother asked you to come to the banquet alone? ”

"Grandmother is here," Mu Hongshang replied obediently: "Princess Pingyang arranged a separate warm pavilion for grandmother to rest, saying that after the banquet was held, she would invite grandmother to sit down." ”

"It should be," Xie Shurou nodded immediately: "That...... You take me to your grandmother to say goodbye first, and then let's find a clean place to talk. ”

Because it was a spring banquet, except for the old men and ladies who were old and didn't like to move, most of the other guests present were visiting the garden in groups of three or five, and Mu Hongshang and Xie Shurou were not conspicuous when they disappeared. The two of them first went to find Mrs. Mu to say goodbye, and then casually dragged a little maid from the princess's mansion on the side of the road and asked her to find a clean place to lead the way.

Coincidentally. Because the two little sisters wanted to find a clean place, the little maid thought about it and took Mu Hongshang and Xie Shurou directly to the vicinity of the water pavilion.

The little maid pointed to a stone table and stone bench near the rockery by the lake, and asked with a smile, "Is it good for the young ladies to look at this place?" It's spring right now, and most of the guests are enjoying the peach blossoms at the Peach Blossom Dock, but there are not many people here in the Water Pavilion. There is a rockery here, and the wind can't blow, and if the ladies are satisfied, the slave and maid will go and bring refreshments. ”

Xie Shurou and Mu Hongshang glanced at each other, and both of them couldn't help but want to laugh. They nodded at the little maid and sent her to serve tea. As soon as the little maid left, the water chestnut who followed Mu Hongsheng laughed first: "It's a coincidence, I actually brought the young ladies here." ”

"Not really!" Yingxing also pursed her lips and smiled: "Back then, our young lady fell into the water here and was sick for more than half a year. When the young lady woke up, she had a high fever, she was burned and confused, she couldn't even recognize anyone, she didn't remember anything, but she firmly remembered that Miss Mu wanted to reach out to save her. ”

Xie Shurou heard the conversation between the two maids, and her expression was complicated. Has it been almost three years? It's been so long since she's been here......

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Time flies so fast!" It's been almost three years. ”

"yes." Mu Hongshang also sighed very much: "I still remember that day I frightened my mother, she was so angry that she reprimanded me in front of many people, and I cried as soon as I was wronged." At that time, my sister-in-law came to comfort me. Time has passed in a blink of an eye, and it has been almost a year since my sister-in-law married into our family! ”
