Chapter 137: Human Affection
At this time, Gu Yilan was also regretting, what she was thinking about in her head was exactly the same as Xie Shurou, and she hoped that Xie Shurou would not care about what she had just said.
The heroine and the heroine are both very weak-hearted, one of them sits on the left side of the stone table, and the other sits on the right side of the stone table, which is clearly distinguished. The two heads glanced in different directions, neither daring to look at each other.
And Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan's maids were so frightened that they had already withdrawn from the pavilion and guarded the nearby path, for fear that someone would approach and hear the quarrel of the young ladies.
The atmosphere in the gazebo was really quiet and awkward......
Gu Yilan and Xie Shurou, a pair of plastic sisters who seem to be enemies, are busy arguing, and Mu Hongshang is taking the maid around the garden to find the Duchess of Anguo.
She walked quite slowly, Princess Ningfu's garden was so beautiful, she felt that it was a shame not to take a closer look. Anyway, that guy in Jinyi is very clever, so it doesn't matter if he waits a little longer.
My own young lady is not in a hurry, and the lotus leaf will naturally not be urged, so Mu Hongshang wandered around the yard, but the water chestnut urged with some anxiety, "Miss, why don't you go to Madame first?" Wait a minute, how good it would be for the sixth young master to accompany you out for a walk, you are not at ease when you walk around alone. β
"What's not to worry about," Mu Hongshang replied with a smile on her face, "Isn't it with you!"
When she said this, Mu Hongshang was walking along a quiet and winding path, both sides of the path were dense hedges, it was already autumn, the flowers had long gone, only the lush green leaves remained, standing neatly on both sides of the path, like a green wall.
Before the water chestnut could answer, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the hedge, "You really make people feel uneasy, and you can't complain that Duchess Anguo is always very worried." β
Mu Hongsheng stopped and winked at the hedge, feeling that the clear male voice sounded a little familiar. However, Mu Hongshang was not allowed to think about it carefully, Zheng Ying, who was dressed in an ochre-colored brocade robe and wearing a jade crown, turned out from behind the hedge with his entourage.
Mu Hongshang stretched out her head to look behind Zheng Ying, only to find that there was a small gap in the hedge, and behind the gap was a hidden path that was inserted diagonally.
"Five...... It's good to believe in the king. Mu Hongshang immediately bowed her head and saluted Zheng Ying in a proper manner, "I haven't seen you for a long time, the prince has always been good." β
"Today is the rule." Zheng Ying chuckled, "There is no one under the eyes, and you don't have to be so polite." As I said earlier, it doesn't have to be this way in private. β
Mu Hongshang noticed that when Zheng Ying talked to her, she always called herself "I", not like Zheng Jin, who called herself "this king" according to her identity.
She vaguely remembered that when Zheng Ying was the prince in the past, she didn't call herself "Bengong" in front of her, and she never seemed to follow the rules, honestly and humbly called "courtier" or "little girl", and the two of them seemed to have always been you and me.
It turns out that she has always been so unruly to Zheng Ying...... No wonder Daddy thinks she's an ignorant little girl, she's really not sensible.
Mu Hongshang reflected for a moment, and then replied very honestly, "Back to the prince's words, the ceremony cannot be abolished." β
Hearing Mu Hongsheng's reply in such a regular manner, Zheng Ying's brows frowned slightly, but she quickly let go again.
He refused to go around the bend, and asked very bluntly, "An Guogong told you?" β
Mu Hongshang hesitated for a moment, and then the amplitude was very small, but he shook his head firmly and gently, "My father...... The courtier's father has already gone to the north, and the prince should know. β
Hearing Mu Hongsheng's title of "courtier", Zheng Ying's eyes froze slightly, and then showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile, "You are one year older, you have really grown a lot." β
Mu Hongshang glanced up at Zheng Ying, and her face showed some weakness and shame. She really thinks that Zheng Ying is a good person with a good temper and gentleness, just like an intuition, she feels that Zheng Ying has no malicious intentions.
But she really remembered her father's instructions clearly, and now Mu Hongshang feels that An Guogong went to the north this time and has something to do with her.
"Let me guess what your father told you." Zheng Ying slowly paced the trail with his hands behind his back, "Did he say that I entered the court to watch politics, and I may have the intention of starting with the military department, hoping that he will not be too embarrassed by me in matters involving the northern border, so he treats you so kindly?" β
Mu Hongsheng's eyes widened, staring at Zheng Ying's face for a moment, and somehow, she felt more and more empty and overwhelmed.
But Zheng Ying is right, An Guogong said this, not only that, An Guogong also told her to stay away from the emperor's children in the future.
Zheng Ying turned her head, and without waiting for Mu Hongsheng to answer, she continued to ask, "Did your father still say that I didn't actually want to take care of you on purpose, because it was unnecessary." It's just a favor to go with the flow. Because the Anguo Mansion is not involved in political affairs outside the northern border, your use value is actually not high. β
Daddy didn't say anything about the use value, but that's pretty much what it meant. Mu Hongshang didn't know how to answer Zheng Ying's question, so she could only stand in place and remain silent.
But Zheng Ying didn't really want Mu Hongsheng's answer. He turned around, looked at Mu Hongshang's clear and transparent eyes, and said softly, "Yes...... That's right! It's just a favor that goes with the flow. You now know I'm telling the truth, right? The palace is not a good place, and we, the royal children, are not good people. β
"Your Highness......" Mu Hongshang didn't know what to say, she lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at Zheng Ying's eyes again, although she didn't know why she was hiding from Zheng Ying's eyes.
"It's a pity," Zheng Ying suddenly laughed, "It's a pity that your father is really a smart man." He didn't want to get involved in party strife, so he hid directly in the north, which was a good idea. But it's good ......."
"Your Highness......" Mu Hongsheng moved uncomfortably and moved a small step slightly. Zheng Ying has always been good to her, and now that the two of them are like this, she always feels that she doesn't know what's wrong, which makes her feel very sorry.
She lowered her head and hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered "I...... Courtiers...... Well...... I...... I told my dad before, and I said, ......"
"Huh?" Zheng Ying lowered her head and looked at Mu Hongshang intently, "What did you say?" β
"That's ......" Mu Hongsheng looked a little cramped, and seemed a little embarrassed, "I said that you are a good person with a good temper." Later......"
"Alright, you don't have to say it." Zheng Ying closed her eyes suddenly, and decisively interrupted Mu Hongsheng's words, "Good person? Scold...... You do need your parents to watch closely. How can it be good after being so naΓ―ve. How can I be a good person? Didn't your dad already tell you? I'm good to you, but I just want a favor from the Anguo Mansion. β
