The princes came to the guest house in person, and An Guogong and his wife naturally came out to greet him together, because Duchess An Guo was also there, so Zheng Ying and Zheng Jin did not stay in the guest house for long, and they didn't even drink a cup of tea, so they stood in the courtyard and exchanged a few words with An Guogong and his wife, and then said goodbye and left.

Zheng Ying and Zheng Jin came over to greet An Guogong, naturally giving An Guogong enough face, and the matter spread through the mouths of the people in a moment, and all the people who came to congratulate him knew that the two princes also went to the guest house where An Guogong and his wife were located.

Zheng Ying and Zheng Jin were very satisfied with the efficiency of the people in Prince Li's mansion, after all, their father asked them to come to congratulate Prince Li on his birthday in such a high-profile manner, just to let the ministers and officials know that the heavenly family has the grace of An Guogong.

It stands to reason that after the matter is done, the two princes can stay at the banquet of Prince Li's Mansion or not, but after these two came out of the guest house, no one mentioned saying goodbye, but seemed to be very interested in the garden of Prince Li's Mansion, and they looked quite comfortable enjoying the scenery.

The princes are at ease, but the prince is a little embarrassed as the master's family, the prince came to congratulate the birthday, and he didn't even drink a bowl of tea, and he has been shopping in the garden. Therefore, Zheng Ying and Zheng Jin didn't have much time to visit the garden, and Prince Li had already sent someone to ask three or four times.

The eldest son of the king of Cheng'en County, who accompanied him to visit the garden, was sweating a little, so he couldn't help but suggest that the two princes go to Linglong Tower to sit down: "The family invited the best silk and bamboo team in Beijing, just over there in Linglong Tower, it's still early to leave the table, why don't Your Highness go to Linglong Tower to watch drum music first?" Have a cup of tea and some snacks? ”

Zheng Jin was noncommittal, turned around and wanted to go in the direction of Linglong Tower, but Zheng Ying stopped by the lake and said with a smile: "I'm impatient to listen to drum music, the scenery on this lakeside is very good, I'll blow the wind here, and I'll go back to the flower hall when the banquet opens." If the sixth brother wants to go to Linglong Tower, he doesn't have to accompany me here, you can just go with him. ”

"This ......" the eldest son of the king of Cheng'en County showed a little embarrassment on his face: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the Fifth Highness to be here alone, it's better to ......"

"You're welcome," Zheng Ying turned to look at the eldest son of the King of Cheng'en County, and smiled slightly: "Could it be that I can still get lost in your Prince Li's mansion?" Just leave a little guy to run errands and pass the word. ”

"But ......" The eldest son of the king of Cheng'en County still looked entangled, but at this time, the sixth prince Zheng Jin smiled: "The fifth brother has always loved purity, and we are here to accompany him, he is afraid that he still thinks that we are disturbing." It's better to trouble Gongzi Xie to accompany the fifth brother to enjoy the scenery, let's go to Linglong Tower first. ”

Zheng Jin, the sixth prince, proposed to let Xie Mufeng accompany the fifth prince Zheng Ying in the garden, which made Xie Mufeng really entangled for a while, of course it was good to be able to stay here with the fifth prince, although their Xie family was the mother family of the fifth prince, but they did not have many opportunities to interact with each other on weekdays, and it was good to have a chance to accompany the fifth prince to stay alone for a while.

But the grandfather clearly instructed him, it doesn't matter what he is around, the most important thing is not to let the six princes contact the little grandfather of the Mu family alone, if you want to look at the six princes, it is better to follow him, so Xie Mufeng is really embarrassed. However, in fact, there is no need for Xie Mufeng to continue to worry, Zheng Ying has already made a decision for him.

"Don't bother," Zheng Ying turned around and smiled at her brother: "You all go, I'll walk around alone." ”

"It's fine." Zheng Jin nodded, did not insist, turned around and walked in the direction of Linglong Tower. And the eldest son of the king of Cheng'en County looked a little uneasy, found a clever little servant, and gave a few words of advice very carefully, before hurriedly catching up with Zheng Jin's footsteps and leaving with him.

Everyone left, Zheng Ying turned around, put her hands behind her back to the deep lake, and stood silently like this, not knowing what she was thinking, and after a while, she began to walk slowly along the gravel path on the shore of the lake, as if she was really enjoying the scenery.

At the same time, Mu Hongshang and her brother were still sitting at the stone table at the corner of the corridor, drinking tea and eating snacks lively. The red-robed maid lotus leaf called a little maid from the prince's mansion to come over and add tea, and the red-dressed girl watched the maid busy, and couldn't stop asking this and that.

The little maid naturally didn't dare to snub this golden lady of the mansion, respectfully answered all questions, the red clothes and the iron-clothed brothers soon knew, there were many guests, the three flower halls were full, and several of them had arrived, and the emperor sent the prince to come over to announce the birthday, and the prince's mansion invited the silk and bamboo team to perform drum music in the Linglong Building on the west side of the palace.

Mu Hongshang heard that there was a drum group, and was very excited to go and see the lively appearance, but remembered that his parents instructed him not to go to crowded places, so he still sat honestly in place and did not make a fuss about going to Linglong Tower.

How could Mu Tieyi not know his sister's thoughts, he stretched out his hand and touched the little brain melon with the red clothes combed in a double bun, and said comfortingly: "After the banquet, everyone will go to the banquet, and my brother will take you to Linglong Lou to have a look." ”

Mu Hongsheng laughed, she seemed to be very happy, her big round eyes narrowed, her small mouth was cocked, and she nodded vigorously at Mu Tieyi.

"We'll be back in half an hour, and the dinner should be set up at the end of the hour." Mu Tieyi smiled and touched the top of his sister's head.

Hearing Mu Tieyi say this, the little maid who added tea raised her head and said boldly: "Little grandfather, I'm afraid it's going to be early noon when the banquet opens, and the two princes will stay in our palace today. ”

"They went to the guest house?" Mu Tieyi was slightly stunned.

"Back to the little grandfather's words," the little maid who added tea replied: "Go, the two princes went together, and now they are gone, when the slave and maid came to add tea, I heard the little maid on the corner door say that the prince is going to Linglong Lou to listen to drum music, so the slave maid said that today's banquet is afraid that it will be later, and the little grandfather and the eldest lady can play more here." ”

"The princes want to stay at the table, then I'll go back and see if my father has any additional instructions." Mu Tieyi stood up and patted his sister's brain like a puppy: "Hongshang is playing here by herself, don't leave, my brother will be back soon." ”

"Good!" Mu Hongshang nodded at her brother very obediently: "I'll just sit here and wait for you, I won't go anywhere, don't worry." ”

"Little Grandpa......" The little maid who added tea hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want me to go to the flower hall to find the fifth young lady or the ninth young master in our house to come and accompany the eldest lady?" ”

"No, you don't." Mu Tieyi smiled and shook his head: "I'll go back when I go, it doesn't matter if Hongshang is here, just have lotus leaves with you, don't disturb my cousins and cousins." ”
