Chapter Ninety-Six: Meet with King An and the Four Birds to Say Goodbye
King An's Mansion has arrived!
Zhao Yiheng didn't tease Mu Mingshu anymore, he only stole a sip of incense in front of her, and then got up from her and tidied up her clothes.
Mu Mingshu frowned and looked at him, puzzled, why did he come to King An's Mansion?
The name of Anwang Zhao Yizheng has been heard, but he has never seen it in his previous life and in this life.
It is said that he was born inadequate, and was regarded as a shame by the Heavenly Family, and ignored as an outcast, and Emperor Jiawen even regarded him as dead, but these are rumors and I don't know whether they are credible or not.
This King An is very low-key, no matter what day he never appears at the palace banquet, he only guards one King An's mansion every day, like an invisible person. There are no friends or good brothers, and when she was old, her biological mother Chen Fangrong came to Emperor Jiawen to ask for a family affair for him, which was the Fang family of King Anfu. Princess Na'an was born in a poor family, and she only went to the palace to ask for peace as usual, and then she didn't leave King An's mansion.
It's just that this Princess An, Mu Mingshu has never seen it, even if she has been Princess Chen for a few years, walking in the palace.
In the previous life, before Zhao Yiyi ascended the throne, this Zhao Yizheng, who had never shown up, fell ill and died, and Princess An, the only woman of King An, followed with a white silk, and Mu Mingshu sighed at that time, he was really infatuated.
When these two people died, the situation between the DPRK and China was in chaos, and no one even cared about the funeral, and in the end it was handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Zhao Yiheng received Mu Mingshu's inquiring gaze and grinned: "Now that the lady is a husband, I want you to know my brother." ”
Saying that, he jumped out of the carriage first, and stretched out his hand to help Mu Mingshu down, and then he was about to take her hand and enter through the gate.
Mu Mingshu was thin-skinned in the end, and asked Zhao Yiheng to hold hands so swaggeringly, he was very uncomfortable, and he didn't break free after a few struggles, so he glared at him with a red face, which made him laugh.
Mu Mingshu has no feelings for this King An, but he is very curious about Princess An, and he always wants to see what kind of strange person that chaste woman is.
Zhao Yiheng seemed to be very familiar with King An's Mansion, and he went straight to the main courtyard without being led by others.
Most of the palaces of each prince are built according to the system, although there are some differences in it, but they are almost the same, there are very few people in the palace of King An, but everyone performs their duties, not much to see and not to listen to, the rules are very good.
Mu Mingshu saw it and praised it in his heart, I am afraid that this Princess An is a standing person, and it is already great to be able to train all her subordinates to look like this.
Passing through the weeping flower gate, entering the second gate, and turning a nine-curved covered bridge, the more you go inside, the more delicate it is, the pavilions and pavilions stand in a forest, and the strange flowers and plants compete to open. Mu Mingshu and Zhao Yiheng have been walking for so long, but they have noticed a detail, that is, where there are steps, only half of them are built, and the remaining half is filled in to make a small slope.
Even if she noticed it, she didn't say or ask, she only thought about it in her heart, but I was afraid that it was related to King An's natural insufficiency.
After crossing the nine-curved covered bridge, not long after walking, you will arrive at a courtyard, on which the three big characters of "Jingxin Hall" are written in cursive characters, the door of the vermilion lacquer courtyard is wide open, and there is no maid waiting. When he stepped into the courtyard, he heard the woman's crisp laughter, which was so touching that people couldn't help but hook the corners of their mouths for no reason.
Zhao Yiheng paused for a moment, took Mu Mingshu around, and saw a thick plane tree planted in the courtyard, a red lacquer swing under the tree, and a woman in a pink shirt and green skirt sitting on the swing, combing the woman's hair bun, with a round face, and two shallow dimples when she smiled, and she looked like she was only in the middle and so on, but the smile on her face was very infectious.
There was a man behind her who was reaching out to push the swing forward gently, the man was dressed in purple, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, somewhat similar to Zhao Yiheng, but he could only sit upright on a wooden wheelchair, with a black mink blanket on his legs, which made people look unreal, but his face was filled with a quiet and happy smile, which was so satisfied.
You don't have to guess to know that this must be King An, Zhao Yizheng, and Princess An, Mu Mingshu made the sincere smile on the faces of these two people so stabbed that they couldn't open their eyes, and they lowered their eyes after just one glance, but said in their hearts: The half of the steps is really related to King An's body.
Zhao Yizheng and the Fang clan obviously enjoyed this very much, Zhao Yiheng pulled Mu Mingshu and stood for half a pillar of incense without letting them notice it, or Zhao Yiheng couldn't help coughing lightly, and then saw the two of them turn their heads together.
Fang's face was surprised, and then he turned red, like a frightened rabbit, he hurriedly jumped off the swing and stood behind Zhao Yizheng.
Zhao Yizheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had a smile on his face, and he was not surprised when he saw Zhao Yiheng, but smiled: "This is a younger brother and sister?" ”
Zhao Yiheng didn't answer positively, he only proudly took Mu Mingshu's jade hand and shook it, and said to Mu Mingshu with his tail cocked up in the sky: "This is the third brother and the third sister-in-law." ”
Mu Mingshu called Zhao Yiheng to shake his hands sorely, broke free from his hand with a red face, bent his knees slightly at Zhao Yizheng and the Fang family, and made a blessing salute: "I have seen the third brother and three sisters-in-law." ”
Fang raised his round face, which was still flushed, and the corners of his lips hooked to reveal two shallow dimples: "Fifth brother and sister." ”
Hearing this title, Mu Mingshu couldn't react for a while, but he smiled sincerely on his face.
Fang Shi said again: "Come into the house and sit down, it's windy here." As he spoke, he pushed his heavy wooden wheelchair up the small ramp.
Zhao Yiheng grabbed Mu Mingshu's jade hand and smiled at her: "Let's go." ”
When you enter the house, it is warm, and her own maid brings hot water and a clean towel, Fang soaks the towel in hot water, wrung out the water again, and then hands it to Zhao Yizheng.
Zhao Yizheng took the towel and smiled at Fang's: "You rest, it's not that there are no maids." ”
Fang smiled shyly and didn't answer, but he didn't leave.
Zhao Yizheng smiled helplessly, wiped his cheeks and hands with a towel, and then handed the used towel to Fang.
Fang Shi took the towel, and her own maid took the used water away, and served tea and snacks, and then she entered the back room again, and when she came out again, she held a carved lacquer box with hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren in her hand.
She had always been a shy person, and before she could speak, her face was already crimson.
Zhao Yizheng's eyes were soft, and he said with a gentle smile on his face: "The fifth brother got married yesterday, and the third brother didn't go, this is for you husband and wife, it's not a good thing, but a piece of heart, don't dislike it." ”
"Where is the third brother, who of us is with whom, and we still talk about these false courtesies." Zhao Yiheng answered with a smile, his eyebrows moved, and Mu Mingshu took the carved lacquer box from Fang's hand, and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, third brother and third sister-in-law." ”
"The fifth brother and sister are polite." Fang's face was red, and he said: "I'll go to the big kitchen and take a look, the fifth brother and the fifth brother and sister will have a home-cooked meal here in a while, I will be with the prince on weekdays, it's rare for you to come over, and it will be lively." ”
Mu Mingshu didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Zhao Yiheng inquiringly, only to see him nod imperceptibly, and then said, "Very good, I'll go to the big kitchen with my third sister-in-law to see if there is any help." ”
Hearing this, Fang nodded with a smile, and enthusiastically pulled Mu Mingshu to the big kitchen.
Seeing that the two concubines went out affectionately, Zhao Yiheng picked up a piece of white sugar cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and praised it at the end: "The skills of the dim sum chef in the third brother's mansion are getting better and better." ”
Zhao Yizheng picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea before saying, "You know? ”
"What do you know?" Zhao Yiheng pretended not to know, picked up another piece of walnut cake and chewed it twice, and smacked his lips: "Find a Jiangnan cook for my daughter-in-law another day, the dim sum made here is different, beautiful and delicious." ”
Zhao Yizheng laughed once, and he didn't say the same question as he said, but said: "If you like it, I'll give it to you." ”
"Not really." Zhao Yiheng waved his hand: "This is what you and your third sister-in-law found, I can't win people's love." As he spoke, he turned to Mu Mingshu again: "Third brother, what do you think of my daughter-in-law?" Worthy of me, right? ”
Zhao Yizheng's gaze stayed at the door where there was no one, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said with a smile: "I think our fifth child is too good, and no one is worthy of it, but what you like is naturally not far behind." ”
One of their brothers is Chen Fangrong's biological son, and the other is Yunguiren's biological child, because of their biological mother's friendship, they have been much closer than other brothers since childhood. Even if Zhao Yizheng's foot was broken later, Zhao Yiheng still regarded him as a good brother, and even if he was happy or unhappy on weekdays, he would talk to this brother and say that the name Mu Mingshu was chewed in front of Zhao Yizheng.
But in Zhao Yizheng's eyes, his fifth brother is a capable person, and he will never be a fish in the pool in the future, and Mu Mingshu first divorced Zhao Yiyi, and then exchanged tokens with Yang Jin in private letters.
But when Zhao Yiheng heard what he said, he laughed, he didn't want to hear many words from Zhao Yizheng's mouth, but when he could talk about this, it could be regarded as recognition, so he slapped his hand and said: "It's rare that there is nothing to do today, and I will accompany the third brother for a few cups." ”
Zhao Yizheng nodded at him helplessly: "I see your mouth is greedy." ”
Zhao Yiheng didn't answer, he only giggled, when it was time for lunch, he was afraid that Zhao Yizheng's health would not be good, and he would just drink a few glasses.
After eating a meal for an hour or two, when he came back from King An's Mansion, it was already time for him, Mu Mingshu was uncomfortable all over his body, and he just wanted to find a place to lie down for a while.
Zhao Yiheng wanted to go to the study in the outer courtyard because he had something, so he sent her to the second gate, grabbed her hand, scratched her palm a few times, raised her eyebrows and said: "Go back and rest for a while, and come back to accompany you for dinner." ”
Mu Mingshu was tired, but he still glared at him with shame, and withdrew his hand from his hand, and then he was accompanied back to Moyuntang by the maid.
Wen Chun stood outside the courtyard, looking forward to the woman who was looking forward to her husband's return, and inexplicably made Mu Mingshu smile.
Mu Mingshu didn't know what she wanted to ask Chunzi, but as soon as she saw that her master was back, she stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and said with a nervous expression: "Girl, ......" before she opened her mouth, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she changed her words and said: "Princess, the four birds have been standing in the courtyard for a day, saying that they want to greet you." ”
Four birds?
