Cheng'an is snowing, but the Nanyang palace is bustling and lively.

A few handymen hung red lanterns on the eaves, some maids cleaned the snow on the ground, and when they were busy, a maid asked: "It's not the time for the New Year, and the prince doesn't seem to be coming back at this time, what are we doing?"

The other maid was also ignorant, "Maybe there's some big guy in the house." ”

"Even if you are a big man, you don't have to be like this, you can't be a saint coming!"

The other maid's heart moved, and when she was about to nod, a person who looked like a supervisor came next to her, and shouted: "What are you two talking about? Hurry up and get to work! If you don't clean it up, you won't have to suffer a lot!"

These two maids should be again and again.

Each mansion has its own rules, and although Nanyang Wangfu is a royal mansion, the rules in the mansion are much looser than many lintels, presumably Qin Shuzhen's temperament accounts for most of the reasons.

The maid took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and quietly asked the supervisor, "Your Excellency, do you know what is going on in the house?"

The supervisor looked like he was in his forties and fifties, slightly chubby, and made a fierce expression with a big belly, which made the two maids very happy, "Don't ask, don't ask, there are no rules, you see, be careful I deduct your money!"

A maid giggled, "Don't ask, don't ask, it's fierce!"

The director snorted again, turned his head and was about to supervise the others, after walking a few steps, he thought about it, and then turned around and whispered: "My two aunts and grandmothers, don't ask nonsense outside, you don't know that Madame has been in a bad mood these two days, I look at the princess and the princess is not in a good mood, you are worried that you will get into trouble, but it will be fatal, I can't protect you two!"

Hearing this, the two maids were taken aback, remembered the cruel methods of the previous lady, and hurriedly said yes.

"Okay, don't ask again, you'll know when you come. The subordinates have the rules of the subordinates, they can do anything, the only thing is that such things that exceed the rules must not be touched!"

。。。

In the east courtyard, in a luxurious room, Sima Lan sat in the room with a gloomy face.

There was a maid standing next to her, named Huan'er.

"Huan'er, did you say that this palace lost?" Sima Lan's tone was slightly gloomy.

Huan'er hesitated for a long time and didn't reply.

"That slut obviously didn't do anything, he just sent the green ants out, and that son of a slut was about to come to my Nanyang Mansion unscathed? For this reason, Qin Lao was also pressed into the prison by that person, and there is no one around me who can be called, do you say that this palace has lost?"

Huan'er said: "Everything is determined by heaven, and the master should be lenient." Even if that person comes back, the inheritance in the future is just as uncertain!"

Sima Lan gritted her teeth and said: "Yes, I can't say! Originally, the inheritance was Jin'er's, but now it's uncertain!"

Huan'er knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she stopped answering.

Sima Lan sighed again, "Huan'er, you're right, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, this palace has done enough, but since that son of evil is still back, this palace can only admit it." It's just that the rest of the matter can't be judged overnight!"

Huan'er nodded.

After being silent for a long time, she suddenly heard the bustling footsteps outside, and Sima Lan raised her eyebrows.

Huan'er asked tentatively: "Master, presumably that person has returned, should we go out to greet him?"

Sima Lan exhaled, "Go, of course you have to go! Why don't you go?"

After standing up and walking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said to Huan'er: "In the future, you must remember when and where you should not call that child 'that person', if that person does not come back, even if you call that person 'evil son' and 'beast', but since you are back, you must respectfully call your highness, and our Nanyang Mansion cannot have no rules!"

"The slave knows!"

"Let's go, go see my child, I haven't seen him for so long, and I still miss this palace so much!"

——————

The carriage drove into an avenue, and in the distance a magnificent mansion drew closer.

At this time, the green ant was a little flustered, and reminded: "At that time, no matter who you are, you will have to see it, but remember not to take out the princess's affairs, Nanyang Wangfu can't have no rules, and you can't let others see jokes!"

Jiang Lili was a little impatient, "I know, I know! Am I a fool? How many times have you said this? Aren't you annoyed?"

The green ants were a little amused, and they didn't say more.

Su Su put on a bright red shawl today, dressed up very cutely, it is rare to see no snacks at this time, sat next to Jiang Lili and pulled Jiang Lili's sleeves tightly, and hugged the white rabbit puppet tightly with the other hand.

She was a little nervous.

And the most nervous is Wang Shan, Wang Shan doesn't know how many coats he has changed today, and every time he changes, he has to run over and ask the green ants, "Green ant girl, do you think it's okay for me to wear this dress?

The green ant replied as impatiently as Jiang Lili, "It's done, you still want to wear gold and silver! I'm not as hypocritical as you! Besides, how many times have you asked? How many clothes have you changed? Aren't you annoyed?"

Wang Shan sneered and nodded again and again. After thinking about it, he ran out and changed into a light blue coat.

At this time, there were few pedestrians on the streets of Cheng'an, and only a few luxurious carriages could be seen staggered by from time to time. Perhaps it is also because the place where the Nanyang Royal Mansion is located is more demure, and it is also remote.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

The sound of dismounting was heard, and a long shout was heard, and a crisp squeak sounded.

The door opened.

The guards stood straight outside the door in two lanes, and inside the door stood a row of maids with flower baskets on each side of a wide bluestone road, and at the end stood two women with a staggered manner, as well as two small children, and a slightly chubby middle-aged man.

The roads inside and outside the house are neat, only a thin layer of freshly fallen snow, bright red lanterns and couplets tell the lively atmosphere of the house all the time.

Su Su gently lifted the curtain and glanced out, and quickly lowered the curtain again, sighing: "This house is really magnificent, and there are so many people!"

Just as he was about to turn his head and ask the green ants, he suddenly found that the green ants were no longer in the carriage.

Hurriedly turned his head to look at Jiang Lili, thought about it but didn't speak, just straightened out the shawl.

Ouyang Jing knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Lili's carriage with a long sword in his hand, "Welcome Your Highness back to your home!"

I heard the soldiers, maids, and miscellaneous servants shouting together, "Welcome Your Highness home!"

"Welcome Your Highness home!"

"Welcome Your Highness home!"

Three tones.

A maid opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the snow pouring in outside, Jiang Lili didn't think much about it and walked down from the carriage.

Susu followed.

After getting out of the car, Wang Shan brought a light cyan cloak, and Jiang Lili waved his hand.

The three of them walked towards the mansion, but after just two steps, Jiang Lili suddenly stopped.

Looking up at the four big characters of "Nanyang Palace" on the door plaque, looking at the completely unfamiliar faces on both sides and in front of me, there are surprises, joys, solemnities, and more puzzlement.

Jiang Lili was also puzzled.

Inside and outside the house are two worlds.

The roads outside the house are full of rut marks, but the inside of the house is clean.

The scenery outside the house is a bit cluttered, although it is all white, and the white on the eaves, trees, and flower beds in the house is somehow much more pleasing to the eye than outside.

So it looks a little unpleasant.

The cold wind blew a few flakes of white snow and fell into Jiang Lili's collar, and he was wearing a dark brown cloth coat, which was slightly thin.

He felt a little tired, and suddenly squatted down, put the tiger knife with a tattered scabbard across his legs, and his hands hung on both sides of the tiger knife, looking at the sparse white snow on the ground and thinking about a lot of messy things.

After seeing Jiang Lili squatting down, Su Su hesitated for a moment, and then squatted down, holding her knees with both hands, putting the rabbit in the crook of her arm, leaning her chin on the rabbit, and slightly turning her head sideways to look at Jiang Lili's side face that she didn't know when it became a little angular.

Wang Shan was embarrassed, watching Jiang Lili and Su Su squatting on the ground, thinking that he couldn't stand as a subordinate!

So he put the cotton wool cloak in his hand on Jiang Lili's back, and squatted down after taking a step back.

So you can see such a scene, the people waiting in the entire Nanyang Palace, squatting in front of the door of the Nanyang Palace, letting the snow fall on them.

The maids and miscellaneous servants in the house were all in a daze.

I could only hear the sound of the wind, which was quiet and a little weird.

Time seems to stand still, and it seems to pass unbridledly.

I don't know how long it was, maybe it was just a moment, Su Su suddenly leaned into Jiang Lili's ear and whispered, "Jiang Dog, your leg is numb." ”

Jiang Lili suddenly felt a little funny, and couldn't stop the smile on her face, so everyone inside and outside the mansion laughed.

Jiang Lili stood up and gave Su Su a hand. Su Su grabbed Jiang Lili's hand and pulled herself up, and Wang Shan hurriedly picked up the cloak that had slipped on the ground.

The three of them walked into the house.

There are only sparse snowflakes on the bluestone road, and there are not even water stains, so it is a little brisk.

After walking in front of those people at the end of the road, Jiang Lili paused, and his eyes fell on Qin Shuzhen's body.

Qin Shuzhen couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, and stretched out her hand to put it on Jiang Lili's head, but Jiang Lili avoided it.

She froze.

Jiang Lili looked at her with a completely unfamiliar look, "If it weren't for you, I would have spent a long winter in Qionghu at this time. ”

Qin Shuzhen covered her mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Jiang Lili asked again: "Who is that? Who is the one who said that he was my cheap father?"

Looking at Jiang Lili's eyes, Qin Shuzhen only felt a pain in her heart, and leaned on the green ant who hurriedly caught up.

There was a laugh from the side, it was Sima Lan's voice, "The prince is out on business, and he won't be able to come back until the end of the year." Of course, maybe you will be a little earlier because of the child!"

Jiang Lili turned his head to look at Sima Lan's smiling face, there was no other meaning in his eyes, and he didn't speak.

Sima Lan smiled again: "At that time, I saw you in the inn outside Pingsha City, and I said that the more you look at it, the more familiar it becomes, and the more you look at it, the more cordial it becomes, and then I remember that you are really like a prince." So my aunt was very annoyed with herself, and scolded herself for why she didn't bring you back to Cheng'an with her in the first place, so as not to cause so many incidents and make you suffer a lot. Every time I think of this, my aunt's heart hurts very much!"

Jiang Lili grinned.

Suddenly, I heard a timid shout, "Brother." ”

It's Su Shuang.

Jiang Lili looked down at Su Shuang, who was a little timid, and then turned his head to look at Su Jin, who had inexplicable eyes, and suddenly raised his head and said, "I'm hungry." ”

The slightly chubby middle-aged man hurriedly greeted him, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already prepared a reception banquet for you, not far behind." ”

"I want to be alone. “

This steward was a little embarrassed, looked up at Qin Shuzhen and Sima Lan's faces, and didn't know what to do for a while.

"Presumably, this is the first time this child has seen this kind of battle, and his cowardice is understandable, since this is the case, let him be alone. ”

The steward nodded repeatedly.

Su Su pulled Jiang Lili's hand, "What about me?"

"Just follow along!"

was led by the steward to bypass Qin Shuzhen and Sima Lan into a room, but when Wang Shanzheng wanted to follow, he was stopped by a handyman, saying that the subordinates could not eat with the master, even if they stood on the left and right to listen to the call, they had to change into the clothes of the Nanyang Palace.

Jiang Lili turned around, "Follow." ”

The handyman was very embarrassed, and the steward hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, our subordinates in the Nanyang Royal Mansion have the rules of subordinates, even if they are personal servants of adults, they have to change their clothes." “

Jiang Lili frowned, "I said to keep up!"

The steward was also embarrassed, and was thinking about suddenly hearing Jiang Lili's scolding, and when he turned his head, he saw him walking out of the door angrily, "Grandma, it doesn't work to be a highness for half a sentence, Lao Tzu is a Laoshizi." ”

This steward is about the same status as the director of the other mansions, and he has a lot of contact, so he naturally knows some secrets, so he hurriedly stopped Jiang Lili, "It works, it works! Your Highness don't worry, Your Highness doesn't worry!" He turned back to the miscellaneous servant and shouted: "Keep up! Tell him to follow!"

Jiang Lili snorted coldly, turned his head and walked into the house.

The steward hurriedly followed, "Your Highness, this way!"

"Lao Tzu uses you to say, Lao Tzu look at the vase!

"Your Highness is saying, you are saying... Hey.. ”

"Hmph,,, your grandma, you just yelled at me?! ”

。。。

Qin Shuzhen turned to look at Jiang Lili in the room and shouted, as if she remembered what happened on the boat in the early spring, so she smiled, and then sighed.

Sima Lan comforted: "Sister doesn't have to be like this, the child has been away from home for so long, and it is inevitable that there will be some resentment in his heart, and it will be fine after this period of time." ”

Qin Shuzhen nodded.

beckoning his subordinates to do their own things, Sima Lan stopped Su Shuang and Su Jin from leaving.

The maids and servants also slowly dispersed.

Qin Shuzhen was still standing in place, her hair dyed a little white by snowflakes.

The green ant called out to Madame.

Qin Shuzhen smiled, nodded, and didn't say much.

A "squeak" sounded, and the gate of Nanyang Wangfu closed.

At this time, inside and outside the house, the real two scenery are completely different.
