Chapter 371 You are really a good match
It's no wonder that since the last time Concubine Xian met her, the two maids in her courtyard were punished for talking nonsense. Since then, no one has dared to talk nonsense in private. Concubine Xian has no contact with other people on weekdays. It is understandable that she has not learned Mu Yun's identity until now.
However, Mu Yun didn't know how to introduce herself. She couldn't stand upright and introduce herself: I am the eldest daughter of Emperor Da Shuoping Ren, Princess Da Shuo Yunlan.
Mu Yun smiled shyly, and Forsythia, who was standing beside her, understood her master's thoughts best and immediately took over the conversation.
"Mother Xian, our Highness is Princess Yunlan of Dashuo."
Your Highness? Princess?
Concubine Xian opened her eyes slightly.
It turned out that her daughter-in-law was from the Dashuo royal family. No wonder, no wonder her every move and gesture contained a trace of indescribable elegance and dignity.
She had thought that her daughter-in-law's background would be unusual, but she never expected that she also had royal blood.
Concubine Xian apologized slightly, "It's also my fault that the concubine was too indifferent to worldly affairs in the past. The concubine didn't know that Jun'er's surname of 'Mu' was the national surname of Da Shuo." She joked, "Jun'er and Chu'er are still It’s really an unusual ‘match’!”
Mu Yun smiled and subconsciously stroked her belly, "Yes, we are a perfect match."
Outside, the air is filled with the chill brought by the Cold Food Festival, but inside the house, there is a cheerful atmosphere.
The incense burner curled up with fragrance and warmth. Mu Yun stayed in Wanchun Courtyard for more than an hour.
Later, when Concubine Xian saw that Mu Yun was visibly tired, she was willing to let her lovely daughter-in-law go back to Qingyun Courtyard.
"When I was pregnant with my first son, I was like this too. If I didn't take a break at noon, I would be out of energy all day. Jun'er, please go back to your room and rest."
Mu Yun was helped to stand up by Forsythia and Tao Ren, and she bowed slightly to the noble concubine Xian.
"I'll go back first."
Concubine Xian quickly supported her, her eyes full of soft light, "Jun'er, you don't have to be polite in front of your mother and concubine from now on. We are all a family, so do whatever you feel comfortable with."
A sweet smile appeared on Mu Yun's face, "I understand, concubine."
Back at Qingyun Courtyard, Mu Yun took a particularly peaceful nap.
Mu Yun knew in her heart that it must be because Concubine Xian was finally in good health and the worry in her heart could finally be let go.
......
The Fifth Prince's Mansion.
Zhuo Wan's painting, which took half a month to complete, was finally completed on the Cold Food Festival.
Zhuo Chengyi slowly opened the scroll, and the beautiful woman in the painting came to life before his eyes. She wears an exquisite and luxurious phoenix gold mask, with bright red flowers on her forehead. She is dressed in dazzling costumes like the rays of the sun. Behind her are colorful fireworks and lanterns. She is a beauty in the prosperous age, bright and radiant, charming the country and the city.
Zhuo Chengyi felt that his breathing became rapid.
"Fifth brother, how are you? Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied," Zhuo Chengyi's Adam's apple moved, "extremely satisfied."
"But," Zhuo Chengyi raised his finger and tapped Zhuo Wan's forehead, "Why did it take so long to draw?"
Zhuo Wan stuck out her tongue, "I have other things to do, fifth brother, what you promised me..."
Zhuo Chengyi returned his gaze to the beauty painting without blinking, "Look back and I will send the Persian cat you are interested in to your side hall."
Zhuo Wan smiled as brightly as a flower, "I'll send it to you tomorrow. I'll be back later today."
Zhuo Chengyi glanced at Zhuo Wan, "Are you going to run wild in Dongshi again? You didn't like to leave the palace very much before."
"Hey," Zhuo Wan avoided Zhuo Chengyi's eyes, "There is a poetry meeting tonight at Yangwenzhai, and my mother-in-law also supports me to get in touch with literature more."
Zhuo Chengyi sneered: "You just deceived my mother and concubine, but you can also deceive me? Yangwenzhai sells love story books, don't think I don't know."
Zhuo Wan asked calmly: "How did you know, Fifth Brother?"
Zhuo Chengyi cleared his throat and didn't answer.
In the past few days, he went to find his sweethearts in the flower house. While having fun, he found that the topics discussed by the prostitutes there were all about the plots of the story books sold by Yangwenzhai. It was difficult for him not to know.
What made him even more angry was that he had just had a lot of fun with the oiran. When he was tired, he actually found that the oiran thought he was asleep and stayed up all night to light up the lamp and read the storybook.
What an insult to him!
In the past, every time after he vented his anger, all the women in the group would be so exhausted by him that their legs would be so weak that they couldn't even get out of bed.
Zhuo Chengyi was so angry that he pulled the oiran to the bed and tortured him a lot. However, the oiran was inspired by some unknown source and actually served him so well that he flew into the sky.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Chengyi looked at Zhuo Wan and said, "Yangwenzhai, you should go less often in the future."
I really don’t know what was written in those notebooks.
Zhuo Wan stuck out her tongue towards Zhuo Chengyi and said "slightly" a few times, then turned around and ran away regardless of his expression.
Huh, mother and concubine didn't even care about her that much. She, the fifth brother, really had too much control over her.
Zhuo Chengyi twitched the corners of his lips and ignored Zhuo Wan.
He held the scroll and walked around the study room, and finally found a satisfactory position and hung up the scroll that he regarded as a treasure.
"Beauty, I can see you every day from now on."
The beauty in the painting has a hazy and confused smile on her lips. The curve of her lips is not very large, but it seems to have a hook, which makes her heart flutter.
Zhuo Chengyi patted his hot face. It was broad daylight and he still had important things to do.
He raised his hand and vaguely nodded at the beauty in the painting.
"Wait, wait for me to come back in the evening."
Zhuo Chengyi's official business was to go to Ye Mansion to visit his uncle, Ye Mingzhi, a cabinet minister.
On the carriage, Zhuo Chengyi retracted his bohemian attitude in front of Zhuo Wan. He had a very serious face until he walked into Ye Mingzhi's study.
"Uncle, why has there been no movement about what happened last time? Didn't Zhuo Lingchu already go to Shansui Mansion? Is he so calm?"
"Didn't the rumor say that he cared about the Princess Dashuo he married? She was almost kidnapped by Zhuo Taining. Why didn't he go to his father to file a complaint against Zhuo Taining?"
Zhuo Chengyi loosened his clothes around his neck irritably.
Ye Mingzhi poured a cup of tea for Zhuo Chengyi, who was sitting opposite him. The quiet fragrance of tea filled the entire study room, but it could not calm the hearts of the two people in the room.
Ye Mingzhi sighed, with a sad face, "You know, your uncle and I are a civil servant, and the manpower we need is just the dozens of secret guards raised by the house. Most of them were involved in assassinations this time. Once we get there, if we rush forward to Shansui Mansion, I'm afraid we'll lose all the manpower we need in the future."
The implication is: Nephew, please help me out. Don’t catch your uncle’s people and use them!
