Emperor Wu's preference is the weather vane, and the princess's mansion has attracted a lot of attention recently, and it is like a market.

Yin'er was seventeen years old and Yu'er was fifteen years old, and someone began to come to the door to try to say goodbye.

Shen Mengxi took Yu'er and Lu'er to Qingyun Villa to hide.

Luo Liancheng was recently transferred back to the forbidden army, and the couple took their three children to the villa as guests, Luo Liancheng's voice was still hoarse, so he rarely spoke, and the two of them always made eye contact, looking affectionate. Luo Liancheng still doesn't even have a room, his statement is that the Luo family's family rules are forty years before you can take a concubine, Qi Xia gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and he has no reason to take a concubine.

There is no reason.

What a touching word.

The men of this era are the same as big animals, and there are herds of concubines, what other reason do you need? Luo Liancheng said flatly that he had no reason to take a concubine.

Shen Mengxi sincerely felt happy for Qi Xia, took her hand and said, "It's rare to have a lover!" ”

Qi Xia's face shone with happiness, and she couldn't hide it.

She smiled and stroked Shen Mengxi's hand, "Isn't it true that there are no concubines and concubines." ”

Belch? Shen Mengxi was actually blocked, and Qi Xia smiled happily.

Subsequently, An Ning and his wife also came, and in the past few years, An Ning gave birth to two more sons, and his figure was out of shape.

Wang Jiechang now has a total of ten children, five sons and five daughters, and the family is very lively. An Ning suffered a few years ago, worried every day, and lived an unstable life, thirty-two years old, looking like forty-two years old.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, is that Yan Twelve really the face of the princess, ha, the princess was very despised!" An Ning couldn't calm down in the end, and after a few words of greeting, he still couldn't help but complain sourly.

"So what? He was snatched from the court by me, not from your house! Shen Mengxi said with a smile.

An Ning immediately sneered, "Ahem, cousin, don't mention this." ”

"Obviously, you mentioned it first, and besides, I didn't invite you today." Shen Mengxi said lightly.

An Ning couldn't hold her face and cried, Qingfeng took An Ning's maid out, An Ning simply howled, Shen Mengxi sighed, walked over, hugged her, and stroked her back, "Okay, okay, it's all over, it will get better and better in the future." ”

"You don't know how I've survived all these years! Nobody cares about me! As soon as he was comforted, An Ning immediately kicked his nose in the face.

The fat powder on his face was washed into red marks by tears, which looked a little scary and a little funny.

Shen Mengxi wiped her face with a handkerchief, "I know that you have no conscience, every time you pity you, it must be to block myself." Without me, would you have survived to this day and be able to complain about me in my house without shame? ”

An Ning hugged Shen Mengxi's waist and rubbed the fat powder makeup on her body, "An Ning knows that it was her cousin who supported An Ning, otherwise those people in the Wang family would have killed An Ning a long time ago." Woo woo, I'm scared, my cousin is my only relative, no one cares about me anymore, I'm scared! Then he cried and chattered endlessly, telling about his grievances.

He Yu came to invite and said that the banquet was settled, and An Ning finally stopped crying.

A month later, Wang Jiechang was transferred to the military department as a foreign officer, and An Ning and his wife happily took their five children to the princess's mansion to express their gratitude. The princess was never very enthusiastic about her, and she didn't mind.

Yan Jikang's former friends also gathered to find him in Qingyun Villa.

Eight years have passed, and they are no longer sunny boys, and even the youngest Yao Liu is married and has children. Several people had a look of guilt on their faces, in the past eight years, none of them had come to Yan Twelve, and when the Yan family was in trouble, none of these world friends came out.

Yan Jikang was very open-minded, "What is this for?" Twist and pinch! Cui Eighteen, who persuaded me to be the face of the princess in the first place, so that you can borrow the light to enjoy the flowers and play ball? Now, let's go play! ”

Cui Zhang's face was swollen red, "Twelve, this is going to kill me!" Now Cui Zhang's voice is gone, his appearance is dignified, and his voice is mellow. He is now working in the Ministry of Rites, and he is no longer a frizzy teenager.

"Twelve, we have had a hard time these years, we will think of you when we get together, I only hate myself for being soft-spoken, and I am afraid of affecting the family, so in the end I didn't even dare to say a word, and I didn't even dare to come to see you." Fang Jing said to Yan Twelve.

Yao Sen continued: "We have seen twelve printed books! Twelve is amazing! ”

Yan Jikang pulled a few people to sit down under the tree, "If Twelve fights with someone, whoever doesn't help, Twelve will definitely not be spared!" But this kind of extermination disaster, how can Twelve blame the brothers, only blame the Yan family's bad luck. He sighed and changed the subject, "Twelve has been grateful to Her Royal Highness the princess for life, and she almost died several times, but it was the princess who saved Twelve." Yan Jikang's face was solemn, and he said to everyone: "Twelve is not the princess's face, but the princess is willing to destroy her name and let me live in the princess's mansion to keep me safe!" ”

Several people opened their mouths wide and were surprised.

Yan Jikang suddenly smiled shyly, "Twelve is willing to live in the princess's mansion all the time." ”

Several people's mouths opened wider.

In April, the flowers of Qingyun Villa are blooming, and in ten years, the fruit trees and flowers have already flourished, and the ginkgo biloba on the side of Qingyun Avenue has grown a lot taller, and the leaves like small fans are swaying in the wind. Apricot blossoms, cherry blossoms, and peach blossoms are in full bloom, and peonies and wisteria in the courtyard also have their own merits. Shen Mengxi decided to hold a banquet in the villa to entertain the two brothers.

Qingfeng reminded her, "Your Highness, shouldn't you also invite Your Majesty?" ”

Shen Mengxi was stunned for a moment, yes, how could the family banquet forget his mother.

"Qingfeng, thanks to you, without you all these years, it is really difficult for this palace to move an inch." Shen Mengxi praised Qingfeng, Qingfeng is also thirty years old, married a princess seven years ago, gave birth to two children, and in the past few years, he has returned to serve by Shen Mengxi's side.

On the second day, Shen Mengxi personally invited him to the palace, but he didn't expect Emperor Wu to agree, and he was looking forward to it.

Shen Mengxi thought that she would excuse herself, saying that she was busy with state affairs, troublesome going out of the palace, etc., so that the three brothers and sisters had a party.

In this case, the banquet level has to be raised.

The princess's mansion began preparations ten days in advance, and Shen Mengxi personally asked about security issues, food safety, singing and dancing programs, logistics support, etc.

On the seventh day of the fourth month, Emperor Wu threw down state affairs and rushed to Qingyun Villa early in the morning.

Shen Mengxi and Wu Youji greeted Zhuangkou early, and saw from a distance a burst of smoke and dust, the canopy swayed, and more than 1,000 riders and guards and 30 cars came slowly. ”

Li Xian, Li Dan and his family also arrived with the holy driver, and Shen Mengxi and others knelt down to take the car.

As soon as Emperor Wu entered Zhuangzi, he was attracted by Qingyun Avenue, and ordered him to open the curtain and enjoy the scenery in the mountains, and then came to the cherry blossom trees and wandered for a long time. "Yue'er, in fact, there are many wonderful things in this world, and A-Niang has not enjoyed it much."

"Auntie, when the autumn leaves are yellow, come to the villa again, step on the fallen leaves with your feet, and walk in the mountains and forests, it is a wonderful mood!"

"Okay, A-Niang listens to you."

The seventy-five-year-old Emperor Wu no longer dyes her hair, but lets Bai grow up, she has been in the top position for decades, she is not angry and arrogant, even if she talks to her daughter, she can't see her emotions.

This time, the Beiya Forbidden Army dispatched 800 guards, led by Cui Jin, the general of the Zuo Yulin Army, and the guards of the Princess's Mansion led by Lu Jingyi, who were jointly responsible for the security work, surrounded the entire villa, and guarded all the intersections, and inspected all the service personnel, and tested all the dishes for poison.

Emperor Wu was very satisfied with Cui Jin, "Cui Saijiu's son is recommended by the elder of the country, both civil and military." ”

Shen Mengxi couldn't help but glance at Cui Jin, the ten-mile long pavilion glanced at it from a distance, the thirty-five or sixteen-year-old Cui Jin had a beard, his eyes were bright, his expression was serious, he was elegant and decisive, he was dressed in a military uniform, and he stood with Lu Jingyi, lining Lu Jingyi like a villager.

Shen Mengxi smiled, "What Di Gong recommended must not be wrong." "Emperor Wu now trusts Di Renjie the most, Shen Mengxi, as an outsider, has long seen Di Renjie's intention to help the Li family, but after thinking about it, all she can do is watch it silently.

In the hearts of these officials, they will probably never be willing to obey the leadership of women, and even be deeply ashamed. Their persistence is that even if they support Adou of the Li family, they don't want a talented and capable woman to take the position.

This is probably the reason why Emperor Wu used the cool officials,—— he couldn't discuss it, so he could only come hard.
