Qin Yan's heart was full of joy all night, and in the darkness, he stared at the sleeping Mu Qingyan affectionately through the two children, and the satisfaction completely warmed the coldness he brought from his bones, turning into finger-wrapping tenderness.

It's ugly, and it's still dark. Qin Yan quietly got up and got out of bed, and gently put down the thick bed curtain outside, and then picked up the robe on the hanger and walked out of the inner room silently.

Mu Qingyan has always been vigilant, and she knew when he turned over and got out of bed.

She didn't stop her, and got up and got out of bed after he went out, and took out a new set of clothes from the cupboard and out of the inner room.

Amber knew that the prince was going to the early court today, so he evoked cinnabar early, prepared to wash the water, and waited on the painting hall.

Qin Yan heard the slight sound of clothes, and when he turned around, he saw her coming out, and hurriedly put on his robe and draped it over her shoulders, and said softly, "Why do you have to get up, Jiang Tao is used to doing these things." ”

"The first time I went to court after the wedding, those who want to see the excitement can't wait." Mu Qingyan personally served him in the new clothes and put them on, and tied his hair again.

Qin Yan didn't really care what people thought in his heart, so he held her hand and said indifferently: "It's okay." He bowed his head and kissed her heart, "You can sleep a little longer, and I will come back to have breakfast with you." ”

Jiang Tao had already prepared his horse and waited outside the corridor.

After sending Qin Yan away, Mu Qingyan didn't wait to go back to the inner room to lay on the bed, but the two little things got up.

Zuo Ning dressed himself and came out first with a sword sharpened from wood. Shen Jun changed his usual laziness, wearing a small white brocade robe, which was carved in pink and jade, and was spiritual and cute.

"Why do you wake up so early?" Mu Qingyan held Zuo Ning in her arms and carefully sorted out the soft button on the neckline for her.

Liuli came in with two lamps of warm water, and said distressedly, "In the past six months since returning to the capital, the little master has gotten up to practice every day, rain or shine." ”

The two little things obediently rinsed their mouths and drank half a cup of warm water, and then took their respective red pandas out of the painting hall and went to the backyard.

Amber hurriedly went into the inner room and picked up a practice uniform from Mu Qingyan to replace Qin Yan's overgrown robe. After waiting for her to wash up, he said softly, "It's hard for the two little masters, who are born among the powerful and can be more motivated than others." ”

"If you want to be better than others, you have to put in more effort than others, this is an eternal truth!" Mu Qingyan took the Xiaoyun Sword that Cinnabar was holding and went to the backyard to find two small things.

In an open space by the lake outside the verandah in the backyard, two people live in a corner, serious and focused.

Mu Qingyan watched quietly for a while, and it wasn't until the two of them finished using a set of Mu family's swordsmanship that she pointed out: "Shen Jun, you can make 'Luoying Colorful' for me again."

Zuo Ning also took the effort, stabilized his breath, and watched from the side holding the sword.

"If the person who uses the sword in his left hand, if his instinct is not in his left hand, he can't make the sword of man and sword unified, why should he use the sword with his left hand?" Mu Qingyan asked him.

Shen Jun stopped, staring at the sword in his hand with big eyes.

"From the moment you hold this sword in your hand, it will become one with your hand, and you can't give it up, you can't lose it, you can't damage it, and you can advance and retreat together." Mu Qingyan was earnestly induced.

Shen Jun didn't seem to understand, but he still used his sword a few times according to Mu Qingyan's request.

Mu Qingyan occasionally mentioned a few words, corrected some irregular actions, and did not force progress. They are all still young, and although they have already started to practice the Dharma, they are only beginners. At least after the age of six, when they can teach some advanced martial arts, so that they can slowly improve.

Amber sent the little four.

"Good morning, princess and princess!" He looked at Mu Qingyan timidly, and after inviting An Hou, he rubbed to Shen Jun's side and whispered, "Mother, mother, mother called back for breakfast!" ”

Shen Jun hated that iron could not become steel, "Why are you more like a girl than Zuo Ning, are you a mosquito?" He took Xiao Si'er's ears and said, "When the Japanese master gets up early to practice, you roll up and wait for me, don't be lazy, otherwise don't follow this master in the future." ”

Amber took Mu Qingyan's sword, her eyes were red and she whispered, "After the little prince came back, Xiao Si'er's crying problem has basically changed, thank God." ”

"Aren't you afraid that Xiao Si'er will suffer with Shen Jun? That kid has the same temper as I do, arrogant and stubborn. Mu Qingyan was worried that she couldn't see Xiao Si'er suffering, and she was also thinking about it.

Who knew that Amber hurriedly said: "Miss, you must not restrain the little prince, even the identity of the little prince knows that you have to work hard, what reason does the little fourth child have to be lazy?" She looked back at the way the two children got along, and was very comforting. He also said: "Xiao Si'er has to follow the little prince after all, and he should learn the same." Besides, only the little prince can accept that little crying bag. ”

Mu Qingyan understood her intentions and said indifferently, "The children are still young, who knows what will happen in the future?" However, as long as you are willing, I will never lose him, and I can tell Sijiu tomorrow that I will allow him to teach the beggar to Xiao Si'er. ”

Amber was about to kneel while holding the sword, but was quickly grabbed by Mu Qingyan's eyes, and said: "The old rule, don't kneel at every turn!" ”

The group had just returned to the courtyard around the verandah, and the girl who guarded the door came to report that the grandmother of the Wuji Mansion had arrived.

"Amber, the person Miss Ben borrowed from you is here!" Mu Qingyan washed up, and Coral waited for a new dress.

Amber couldn't help but be overjoyed, "That's great, we must have our Lanyan Pavilion not a palace, and the rules are different and can't be copied." ”

"You go find a few people, clean up the yard as soon as possible, and let Mama live on your side in the next few days, which is also more convenient." Mu Qingyan looked at the sky, and Qin Yan said that he would come back to have breakfast with her, and he was afraid that he would miss the appointment.

Amber promised to pick up someone, and just arrived at the porch and met Jiang Tao who came back to report the news.

"Sister Amber, the prince asked the little one to come back and send a letter to the princess." Although Jiang Tao has become familiar with Mu Qingyan's maids in the past few days, he is still very polite, "The prince was left by the emperor to discuss matters, and he can't return as promised, please don't wait for the princess and the little master." ”

As soon as the breakfast was withdrawn, Cinnabar came in and replied, "Miss, the woman I brought back the day before yesterday was clamoring to leave the house, and was stopped by Jiang Weichang. ”

Mu Qingyan forgot about this, "Sanjiu? ”

"The subordinates are here!" Sanjiu's voice sounded under the porch.

Mu Qingyan moved outside the painting hall, "That person has checked the details?" ”

"Back to the master, she is the daughter of an embroidery workshop in Longquan Town, and she followed a nephew of the Taifu, and she was cheated of money and sex and then took away the child." 393 sentences and two sentences will explain the matter clearly.

Mu Qingyan felt that this matter seemed to have been heard somewhere, and frowned, and suddenly thought of what happened in Longquan Town after the rain that day. She hurriedly summoned Cinnabar, "Go and bring that woman to me!" ”

Cinnabar agreed and rushed out of the courtyard, and soon brought back a woman dressed in the clothes of the Tiger King's wife. But when she saw that the woman's face was full of sorrow, and her eyes were sunken, and she was limping when she walked, if it were not for the support of cinnabar, a gust of wind would have blown her down.

Liuli used a thin porcelain deep pot to fill half a cup of tea and put it on the flower wall, and then approached Linglong's ear and didn't know what to say. Linglong turned around and took out two embroidered stools from the west chamber and put them under the corridor, but she intentionally or unintentionally blocked the door of the painting hall.

The woman trembled and knelt under the porch, and choked up, "Niangniang, let me out, I want to go to find my miserable son......

"You look up and look at me, do you still recognize me?" Mu Qingyan tried to talk to her as slowly as possible, as if she was afraid of scaring her.

Although the woman was born in the countryside, she was used to doing embroidery work in large families, and she knew a little about the rules. She only knelt on the ground and begged, "Niangniang's gold and jade are raised in the splendor, and she can't be offended, just ask Niangniang to let me go!" ”

Mu Qingyan glanced at Cinnabar, "I already knew about your idea, and sit down and drink some water and slowly explain it clearly, and I will call the shots for you." ”

When the woman heard that she was willing to make decisions for herself, she immediately kowtowed on the steps like a life-saving straw in the ocean.

Cinnabar hurriedly stopped her, and dragged her to sit on the embroidery stool; When I looked at it again, my forehead was already broken.

The woman didn't pay any attention to the bleeding forehead, but whimpered and wept, and immediately rolled her face with tears.

"Do you remember the last time that man snatched your child, who scared the wicked man away?" Mu Qingyan asked her softly, and pulled out the handkerchief on the cuffs to wipe the tears on her face.

Coral immediately grabbed in front of Mu Qingyan, stuffed his handkerchief into the cinnabar's hand, and reminded, "Cinnabar, you should wipe your tears from your sister-in-law!" ”

When the woman heard Mu Qingyan ask, she was immediately stunned. After a while, he suddenly raised his head, and his lips trembled: "You...... You, woo, this time my son was saved......"

Before she could finish speaking, the woman suddenly planted herself under the embroidery stool.

Cinnabar was frightened, but fortunately, she caught it in time and let her lean on herself. Mu Qingyan tried the pulse, and several people shook it, and finally woke up.

After she woke up, most of the original bitterness on her face was gone, and her eyes were shining with hope, and she said timidly: "Thanks to you last time, I haven't thanked you yet." ”

"Let's hear what's going on, don't panic, I'll call the shots for you!" After being frightened, Mu Qingyan leaned against the coral standing by the embroidery stool, looking lazy.

The woman drank some water, let out a long whimper, and then said, "Not long after that day, Longquan Town was in chaos, and there were troops everywhere. I had no choice but to take Man'er to the nearby countryside and did not dare to return to Longquan Town until a month ago. The tears in her eyes became momentum again, and they kept falling.

"Who knows, as soon as our mother and son entered the house, they were caught by the people sent by Si Chengjie's bastard to squat, and ran away after robbing the man." The woman wiped a handful of tears that had flowed to her cheeks, and continued with a cry: "I searched all the way to the capital and found out about the Taifu Mansion, he led more than a dozen people to beat me out, and threatened me that if I dared to go, I would break my legs and sell me to the Qinglou as a handyman, woo...... If he had been kind to my son, he would have had a better future than a woman who had followed me, but that was not the case. ”

She straightened her thin shoulders, and her eyes gave birth to a kind of loneliness: "I have been guarding the capital for more than a month, and I finally found an opportunity to make some money to find out the news of Man'er...... Since he entered the Taifu Mansion, he was thrown into the side courtyard, only an old woman watched, when he had no food or clothing, he was already weak and born prematurely, how could he stand such treatment! ”

Mu Qingyan frowned when he heard this.

"Si Chengjie was originally the nephew of Taifu, and Taifu was in charge, and he hired Taichang Siqing's niece and got married today." The woman immediately repented: "Because of my rich family when I was young, I was quite famous for my talent and embroidery, so I was arrogant and was divorced by my husband's family. Later, I found out that Si Chengjie fell in love with me and sent my original husband's family out of Longquan Town, and I fell under his control. She hung her head in remorse.

Mu Qingyan sat up straight, and asked her lightly, "Then how are you doing?" ”

The woman said eagerly: "He will naturally have a son-in-law after marriage, and Man'er may not be treated well if he follows him." She said firmly into Mu Qingyan's eyes, "I just want to go back to Man'er and raise him by myself." Looking at the calming look in Mu Qingyan's eyes, she suddenly had some fighting spirit: "Although my family business has been exhausted by Si Chengjie, my embroidery skills are still there, and I don't seek wealth and nobility, as long as he grows up safely." ”

"Taifu Mansion is going to have a happy event today?" She turned her head to look at Linglong standing in the doorway.

Linglong immediately understood, raised her legs and ran out.

A quarter of an hour later, she came back with a bitter face, bit her lip and said, "Miss, the Taifu Mansion is indeed going to have a happy event today." ”

Mu smiled lightly, "So, my dignified Tiger Princess is not among the invitees?" She looked back at the woman and said warmly, "I came out of force that day, and instead of saving your child, I caused you to suffer such a humiliation as you do today; If you wish, I will rob you today, and I will bring your child back! ”

She did not wait for the woman's words of gratitude, and added, "But you need to be a maidservant in my house for three years, are you willing?" ”

"Princess......" The woman knelt on her knees and slammed her head on the steps, "I am a person who has lost morality, and I am grateful to be so upheld by the princess, but, I can ...... it."

Mu Qingyan stood up, "You only say whether you are willing or not, I will make the decision for you in other matters!" ”

"Yes, yes!" The woman knew that Mu Qingyan was afraid that Si Chengjie would find her trouble again, so she gave her a place to live, she was grateful, and knelt down and refused to get up, "The slave is willing to guard the princess for the rest of her life and ask the princess to be fulfilled." ”

Mu Qingyan bent over and pulled her up, "I haven't asked your name yet." ”

"The maid's maid's family name is Lin, and the name of the boudoir is on the jade and the bottom is Wan." The woman replied.

Mu Qingyan nodded, "From today onwards, you will be a member of my Tiger King's Mansion, the princess's needle lady." He turned his head and instructed Sango, "Go, pick out a fitting dress for Wan Niang, pick up two pieces of jewelry, and let's go to Taifu's mansion to drink wine." ”

When Linglong heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows, and the anger just now disappeared.
