The Duanmu family was in a hurry, because Duanmu Xian wanted Duanmu Mansion to marry from the Guogong Mansion, and in comparison, the Xu family's move was obviously much slower.

This time, Duanmu's family did not hold a big banquet, and Duanmu Xian only invited a few close friends to the door, which was lively and lively, as a joy to congratulate the housewarming.

In the next few days, the Duanmu family was not idle, up and down were busy cleaning up the new home, although the people were busy, but they were not tired, and they were the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion in the future.

The sisters were also busy cleaning their yards every day, rearranging them according to the layout of the new house, and Duanmujun also specially asked his subordinates to move the plaque of "Zhanqing Courtyard" from the old house to the new house.

The two sisters occasionally go out to walk together in the gap of cleaning, the location of Xinfu is better than the original Quanyu Street, the adjacent street is the bustling Zhongsheng Street, the sisters go shopping, relax, and also buy some things to decorate the new house, or buy some exquisite gadgets for the little nephew to go back.

After entering March, the capital has become more lively.

Although Mu Yan canceled the spring hunt, there were always some people who didn't stop and ran to encourage An Ping to have a flower-viewing banquet in the palace or the palace.

There are three or four princesses of the clan such as Prince Su, Princess Zhuang, and Princess Xing, who made an appointment to go to the door of the princess's mansion.

Everyone had a short greeting from the parents, and An Ping guessed that they had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and deliberately didn't ask them why they came.

Several princesses couldn't bear it for a while, and Prince and Princess Su relied on their status as elders and said with a smile: "Anping, the emperor has ascended the throne, he is almost twenty people, this harem is empty, and his knees are also empty...... Those of us who are elders are worried when we look at it. After all, the most important thing in this royal family is the heir! ”

Prince and Princess Su started first, hoping that An Ping could pick up the conversation so that they could continue the topic.

However, An Ping calmly drank tea, did not speak, and did not know if he understood.

Prince and Princess Su looked embarrassed, and exchanged a look of mutual understanding with the other princesses.

Several of them came to visit Anping today, and they were also entrusted by others.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, many noble courtiers are staring at the position of the harem, and some people have tentatively mentioned the draft to the new emperor, but they have no face, they still don't give up, so they pin their hopes on Anping.

However, with Anping's identity, ordinary officials and nobles could not see it at all, so some people with active minds thought of a more roundabout way, and simply found a female dependant with a higher rank in the clan and promised benefits.

In addition, the draft is not a bad thing, and the princess and princess Su were all moved, so they came to Anping, the purpose was to encourage Anping to talk to Mu Yan about the concubine election.

As everyone knows, Mu Yan has always respected Anping, the imperial aunt who has nurturing grace, and he can't listen to the courtiers, but he can't ignore Anping.

Prince and Princess Zhuang sorted out her thoughts and said, "Anping, we are uncles and grandmothers, and we also want the emperor to be good." Only if the emperor is good, Dasheng is good. ”

"The issue of heirs is very important, I think that if your royal brother and sister-in-law have a spirit in the sky, they will also want to see the emperor have an heir as soon as possible, and want to see his children and grandchildren full of people."

Prince and Princess Zhuang deliberately mentioned Emperor Chongming, just thinking that Anping was Emperor Chongming's own sister, and she must have wanted Mu Yan to spread out early.

An Ping, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, slowly used the tea lid to remove the floating leaves floating on the tea soup, still silent.

Prince Zhuang and Princess Su exchanged another look, their words were so plain, I think Anping should listen to them.

Prince Su persuaded again: "Anping, the emperor is young and vigorous, and he has always had many ideas, so it is inevitable that we old guys will be verbose, but he will definitely listen to what you say." ”

"If you have a chance, you can persuade the emperor to let him open the harem as soon as possible, and let him spread the branches."

Princess Zhuang and Princess Xing nodded again and again, and then persuaded a few more words, saying similar words, what "heirs are the common way of humanity", "blood is related to the country".

Anping couldn't listen to it, and several princesses were so dry that they simply turned the topic to the flower viewing banquet.

"Anping, I heard that the emperor ordered the cancellation of this year's spring hunting, according to me, this is a good thing, this spring hunt not only costs the people and money, but also sees blood, it is better to have a flower appreciation banquet!" Princess Zhuang proposed.

Princess Xing immediately helped to play the side drums: "Yes, this season, a hundred flowers are blooming, enjoy the flowers, and scatter your heart, how good!" ”

An Ping raised his eyebrows as if moved, put down the teacup, and sighed: "Speaking of which, the peony flowers are about to bloom......

Thinking that Anping was interested, Princess Su's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Just hold a peony banquet, let each family bring their own peony flowers, and choose a 'peony king'!" ”

"I think this 'Peony King' must be from Anping, you!"

"Yes, Anping, the craftsman in your house is good, and he even cultivated the 'Eighteen Bachelors' last time, right?"

“……”

The princesses spoke enthusiastically for a while, and then they took their leave with satisfaction, and their spirits were refreshed.

After leaving the courtyard, Prince Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Prince Su with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I think this should be done, right?" ”

Prince and Princess Su also smiled with her eyebrows, and said confidently: "Nine times out of ten." ”

"I think so." Princess Xing's eyes narrowed with laughter, and she said as a matter of course, "They are all mothers, how can Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Anping not be in a hurry!" ”

Thinking about it, I also know that Anping has no children under his knees, which hurts Mu Yan as his own son, how can he bear to see him empty under his knees!

Several princesses nodded frequently with affection.

They treat others as their own, and if this is their own son, of course, they wish to give birth to a grandson earlier, and they can tease their grandchildren. Even if the son doesn't care, he will be anxious as a mother.

Even if he considered that the fourth girl of Duanmu was Cen Yin's righteous sister, Mu Yan wanted to give some face, but now, Mu Yan has ascended the throne, and the situation is gradually stabilizing, and Cen Yin does not seem to have the intention of dominating the government, and he must not talk much about the matter of choosing a concubine.

The emperor's choice of concubines is a matter of course!

"Let's go." Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang glanced back at Anping's house, "Let's wait for Anping's good news!" ”

Several princesses happily left with a maid in green clothes and headed for Yimen.

An Ping in the room yawned lazily, a hint of mockery flashed under his eyes, and he said lightly: "These people are really idle!" ”

A slight sound of wheelchair rolling came from the direction of the blue yarn cupboard, and Ziyue pushed Wen Wuchen's wheelchair over, all the way to the window.

Wen Wuchen was wearing a bamboo leaf green straight jacket, and his black hair was half-draped and half-scattered behind his head, looking like an idle cloud and a wild crane.

"What are you going to do?" Wen Wuchen asked with a smile, and at a glance he could see that An Ping already had an idea.

An Ping hooked his red lips, as bright and delicate as a blooming peony, and said with a smile: "If these people don't teach a lesson, they don't know the pain!" ”

Obviously, Mu Yan has already refuted the draft on the spot, and he also solemnly mentioned that he would not accept a concubine, but there are still people who feel that this is taking Cen Yin into account and not taking it seriously.

An Ping got up, walked to Wen Wuchen's side and sat down, and said, "Ah Yan told me last time, these people, it's okay to be idle, there are a lot of dirty ideas, and they still want to drug Ah Yan!" ”

"How can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves!"

An Ping was annoyed in his heart, her Ah Yan was finally able to have a comfortable life, and they couldn't see him well.

It's good for this little couple to live affectionately, Anping likes to hear it, but some people don't like it, so they have to toss something out to block the little couple!

Wen Wuchen personally picked up the kettle to make tea for Anping on the side, and said clearly: "You plan to push the boat down the river?" ”

The hot water rushed into the tea cup, and the green tea leaves rose and fell rapidly in the water, and the faint fragrance of tea overflowed.

His tea-making movements are skillful, graceful and crisp, with an indescribable good-looking appearance that is pleasing to the eye.

Just looking at him like this, An Ping felt a lot calmer, and his anger gradually dissipated.

"Not bad." An Ping said bluntly, "Since they want a flower-viewing banquet, then the palace will hold a flower-viewing banquet." lest they come to the door again and again, I'm afraid that even if they hit the wall here in the palace, they don't know how to die, and they run to annoy Scarlet! ”

"This bride-to-be is easy to be cranky, in case Scarlet refuses to marry, they can't afford to pay!" An Ping mocked angrily.

Wen Wuchen listened gently, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

This is Anping's temperament, she has a straight temperament, and she is too lazy to talk to those courtiers with different interests, rather than guessing behind their backs, it is better to take the initiative to teach them a lesson, and they will remember it when it hurts.

Anping was still babbling: "This palace doesn't have so much time to play with them, so I just took advantage of the flower viewing party to solve them all at once, once and for all, and by the way, kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys!" ”

She is not interested in dealing with these "idlers" who have nothing to do every day!

Wen Wuchen sent the hot blue and white porcelain teacup to Anping.

Anping elegantly picked up the tea cup, first looked at the tea soup, the tea soup was clear, and sniffed, the tea was fragrant like an orchid, the tea was drunk into the mouth, the aftertaste was sweet and long, and it made the teeth and cheeks fragrant.

"It's better to make the tea you made!" An Ping praised with a smile, "I can't make it just right like this." ”

The tea in her stomach was like soaking in a hot spring, which made her feel comfortable and her heart completely calm.

"If you want to drink, I'll make it for you." Wen Wuchen said as a matter of course.

"......" An Ping was stunned, his long eyelashes trembled, his eyes were sparkling, and his expression softened a little, and the bright color was compelling.

Ziyue was very knowledgeable and quietly withdrew.

The atmosphere in the house is warm.

An Ping sipped the tea carefully, and suddenly changed his words, and said meaningfully: "Wuchen, your legs should be fine." ”

An Ping looked at Wen Wuchen's legs, his eyes were bright and dark, and he couldn't hide his heartache.

Nineteen years ago, after Mu Jianming ascended the throne, he once issued an edict to announce Wen Wuchen's entry into the court, Wen Wuchen despised Mu Jianming's personality, and remembered the grace of Emperor Chongming's acquaintance, and they were both monarchs and ministers, but also close friends. He didn't want to be like the court, so he simply deliberately fell off the horse and broke his legs, firstly to avoid the court, and secondly, to teach Mu Yan to grow up.

After Wen Wuchen fell from the horse, his legs were not happy, and Rao is Mu Jianming had doubts in his heart, so he could only stop it.

At that time, when she learned the news, it was already too late, and Wen Wuchen's leg was already useless.

Anping's eye sockets are slightly acidic.

In fact, both she and Wen Wuchen knew that Mu Jianming didn't really want Wen Wuchen to enter the court, but because of Wen Wuchen's transcendent status in Shilin, he didn't dare to do anything directly against Wen Wuchen, for fear that Shilin would think that he was the emperor and was cruel and unkind, and would criticize him.

But Mu Jianming didn't worry about Wen Wuchen, and wanted to put Wen Wuchen under his nose.

The first few years were very difficult, but later Mu Jianming's throne was stabilized, and the Zhenbei Mansion was also destroyed, and Mu Jianming also put his mind at ease and no longer stared at Anping and Wen Wuchen so much.

Since then, Anping has secretly sent people to the north and south of the river to find a famous doctor to quietly treat Wen Wuchen's injuries, tried again and again, disappointed again and again, for so many years, Anping has never given up, and finally found a famous doctor, and now Wen Wuchen can barely stand up, but he still has to walk on crutches, and naturally he can't walk fast.

However, just like that, it's enough to be peaceful and happy.

Now that Mu Jianming is no longer a problem, Wen Wuchen doesn't need to worry about anything anymore, he can slowly let go of the wheelchair.

Wen Wuchen grabbed the head of the wheelchair with both hands and slowly stood up on the wheelchair......

Seeing this, An Ping got up nervously, and hurriedly went to help his left arm and helped him stand firm.

Wen Wuchen put his right hand on the back of Anping's fair-skinned hand, looked at Anping, who was half a head shorter than him, with a smile, and said softly: "When I can go, I will accompany you to Jiangnan." ”

An Ping looked up at him and slightly opened his beautiful phoenix eyes.

"I want to be with you for the rest of my life." Wen Wuchen said softly and slowly, his voice was like a mountain stream bubbling from a clear spring, clear and clear.

An Ping's plain hand subconsciously worked hard, grabbing his arm slightly, his eyes flashed with a little water, joy, surprise, touch, and satisfaction...... There is also a hint of shame.

The two looked at each other quietly, and An Ping smiled, a smile that was even brighter than the rising sun bloomed on his bright face.

She didn't speak, she just silently took his hand on the back of her hand.

"Let's go to Jiangnan, I haven't been to the place where you grew up!" An Ping's phoenix eyes were incredibly bright.

"It's just an ordinary town, not as prosperous as the capital, but the scenery is very beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, you will definitely like it......"

"We can stay there for a while, until you get bored, and then we'll go elsewhere......"

After a while, only Wen Wuchen's voice was left in the room, and he spoke eloquently, his voice low and soft, like a spring breeze blowing across the earth.

In March, the spring breeze is fragrant with peach blossoms.

An Ping decided to hold a peony banquet on March 15, and the flower-viewing posts were scattered to the various prefectures in the capital like a goddess scattering flowers.

Anping's peony banquet came suddenly, and it happened that after Prince Su, Princess Zhuang and others visited the princess's mansion, some mansions suddenly felt hopeful, thinking that Anping was moved by Prince Su and Princess Su.

These people's hearts were ready to move, and as soon as they received the post, they hurried to buy new clothes and new jewelry for the school-age girls in the house; Some people hurried to look for peonies; Some people go to inquire about the specific arrangements of the peony banquet, if they want to paint, write poems, play songs, etc., they can also make some preparations in advance; Some people went around to inquire about Anping's preferences, and felt that it was a good idea to start with Anping, after all, the new emperor respected Anping as a mother, if Anping made peace, then it would be much easier for his own girl to enter the eyes of the new emperor.

Many mansions are thinking of a bright future and are in full swing to make various preparations for participating in the flower banquet.

The flower-viewing post was also sent to the Muguo Mansion, and was personally presented to Duanmu Jun by a housekeeper of the Princess's Mansion.

"Mama Li, don't worry, Zhen Zhen and I will definitely arrive on time that day." Duanmu Jun said with a smile, and handed the big red gold sprinkling post in his hand to the wisteria on the side.

"Miss Duanmu, the slave will go back and tell Your Highness." Mama Li smiled and blessed, "Your Highness also said that when the time comes, the two girls should go over earlier, so that they can talk to her." ”

Duanmufei next to him touched the little fox and asked casually: "Mama Li, are there many guests who arrived that day?" ”

Mama Li was kind and pleasant to Duanmu Fei, and knew everything: "This peony banquet has posted posts to the mansions of many noble courtiers of the clan in Beijing, and the slaves and maids have counted at least forty posts. It will definitely be lively. ”

Duanmu Fei thought about another question, so many people went to the banquet, there must be a lot of things, and he didn't know if Anping could be busy, so he took the initiative to ask: "Your Highness must be very busy, then I will also go over to help Your Highness." ”

When Mama Li heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said very enthusiastically: "The fourth girl has this intention, Your Highness must be happy." ”

This Mama Li is one of Anping's henchmen, in fact, she knows that Anping doesn't take this peony banquet seriously at all, so she just casually asks someone to pick it up.

However, she naturally wouldn't say these words to Duanmu Fei, what she thought was that the four girls of Duanmu would run to the princess's mansion more, and the master would definitely be happy.

Mama Li didn't stay long, and after a few words of greeting with the Duanmufei sisters, she left.

Duanmu Fei was in a very good mood, her eyes were shining, and she said with great interest: "Sister, the peony flowers in the princess's mansion are beautiful!" The plum blossom wine I brewed in the wax moon can now be drunk, and when the time comes, I will bring some plum blossom wine over, and drink plum blossom wine while enjoying the flowers, isn't it wonderful! ”

Duanmujun looked at Duanmufei with a subtle expression, not knowing what to say.

Sister, obviously the amount of alcohol is very bad, two glasses of drunk, but she is a little drunkard, she likes to drink two glasses when she has nothing to do, the key is that she still hasn't realized that her alcohol is not good.

Duanmu Jun thought for a while and said euphemistically: "Zhen Zhen, didn't you still make a lot of flower tea?" On the day of the peony feast, I also brought some kinds of flower tea to enjoy the flowers and drink the flower tea, which is also good. ”

Duanmujun had already figured out that he must look at his sister carefully that day and try not to let her drink.

Duanmu Fei was unaware, and stroked his palms and said, "This is a good idea!" ”

She counted her fingers with a smile, "I have plum blossom tea, lotus tea, chrysanthemum tea, jasmine tea, peach blossom tea, osmanthus tea...... By the way, two days ago, I bought a kind of rose tea from the West at a shop on Zhongsheng Street, which has an exotic flavor, and you can also take it to everyone to taste! ”

"Bi Chan, you go and bring all my flower teas, and my sister and I will pick them first."

Bi Cicada took the order and left, she just left with her front foot, and the wisteria curtain on her back foot came in, and she had an extra post in her hand.

Wisteria's expression was a little complicated, and he walked quickly to Duanmu Jun and said, "Big girl, the second aunt and grandmother sent someone to send a letter to you, naming you for the eldest girl." ”

The second aunt and grandmother in Wisteria's mouth refer to Duanmu Qi.

"......" Duanmu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Since last year, Duanmu Qi had a quarrel on the day when Duanmu Heng and Ji Lanzhou made a scene with He Hong, and was ordered by Duanmu Xian to prohibit him from entering the mansion.

After that, although Duanmuqi came a few times, she was turned away by the porter, and then Duanmuqi didn't come, even the last time Duanmuxian was named Mu Guogong, she didn't come back, as if she broke off all relations with the Duanmu family, why did she suddenly write to herself?

Duanmujun reached out and took it, opened the envelope, and looked at it quickly.

After only reading a few lines, she laughed angrily, and the corners of her lips drew a sneering arc.

"Sister?" Duanmufei rarely saw Duanmuxuan like this.

Duanmujun looked at Duanmuqi calmly, and said lightly: "Duanmuqi, she wants to blackmail me!" ”

For his sister, Duanmujun had nothing to hide, and directly handed the letter in his hand to Duanmufei.

The handwriting that Duanmuqi is familiar with is still as in the past, revealing a bit of pretentiousness.

In this letter, Duanmu Qi and Duanmu Jun met at Yunting Restaurant on the 14th of this month.

Duanmuqi bluntly threatened Duanmujun, indicating that if Duanmujun did not attend the appointment that day, he would not blame himself for publicizing her ugly affairs, so that she would have no place in Beijing in the future.

seems to be afraid that Duanmujun will not believe it, at the end of the letter, Duanmuqi also wrote one more sentence, on the eighth day of the second month, Duanmujun and Cen Yin went to a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing together, lonely men and widows, and returned after dark.

The eighth day of the second month.

Duanmufei's gaze paused for a moment at the four words on the post, and moved his eyebrows.

"Oh that day......" she muttered to herself, her eyes slightly wide and immediately remembered. That day, my sister and Cen Gongzi went to the Zhuangzi flower garden of some flower farmers in the suburbs of Beijing to buy flowers, but my sister didn't let her accompany her, causing her to be bored at home alone!

She still remembers that day her sister brought back a lot of flowers, peonies, camellias, narcissus, cloves, etc., all of which were used to decorate the courtyard of the new mansion, and now most of them are planted in the new Zhanqing courtyard.

Isn't my sister just going to buy flowers, what kind of ugly thing is this?!

Duanmu Fei raised his head from the letter paper, looked at Duanmuxuan, and blinked, with a simple and lovely expression on his delicate little face.

Looking at his sister's black and white clear eyes, Duanmu Jun could see what his sister was thinking even if he didn't ask.

The unhappiness in her heart because of Duanmuqi was swept away in an instant, and she laughed out loud, laughing at her sister's cute appearance.

"Let's ignore her!" Duanmujun raised his hand and rubbed the soft top of his brow, smiling happily.

At this time, Bi Chan came back with a heavy red lacquered wooden box, and said with a smile: "Fourth girl, the slave maid has brought all the flower tea." ”

Duanmufei took out a tea pot with roses painted on it from the box, and said with a smile: "Sister, look, this is the rose tea I just said, I'll make it for you to try!" ”

The two sisters tried the flower tea with great interest, leaving Duanmuqi behind, and even a few maids present also got a cup each, each expressing their opinions, and the master and servant held a small tea party.

As for the posts and letters sent by Duanmu Qi, Duanmu Jun directly asked the wisteria to burn it, and ignored it completely.

Duanmu Fei also ignored it.

In the next few days, she was busy running the princess's mansion every day, helping Anping pick up together, and planning the peony banquet together.

Duanmufei is busy every day, leaving early and returning late, and he doesn't feel tired.

Duanmujun is much more free than her, and part of the feed has been returned to Ji Lanzhou, who spends most of her time doing embroidery work every day, planning to make a few more summer clothes for Cen Yin, as well as cloaks, shoes and socks or something.

A few days after the peaceful days, Duanmuqi seemed to guess Duanmuqi's thoughts, and sent another letter. Duanmujun opened it casually, and after reading the content of the letter, her face sank suddenly.

As soon as it was dawn on March 14, Duanmujun rode out of the house alone, but she went not to Yunting Restaurant, but to Qingjing Temple on the outskirts of Beijing.

When she arrived at the Pure Temple, it was already the beginning of her life.

She first went to add sesame oil money, and then went to the back temple familiarly.

From a distance, she saw that Duanmuqi had arrived, sitting alone in an octagonal pavilion by the pond, wearing a garnet-red dress that was more delicate than the peach blossoms around.

At the end of the month, come and ask for a monthly pass~
