Songbai asked outside the carriage, "Master, where are you going?"
"Xingyuan." Chu Tiankuo said.
He used to live in the East Palace, which was inside the Imperial Palace, and she couldn't move in with him.
However, Chu Tiankuo had several houses outside the palace, two of which were relatively large, one named Snow Garden and the other named Star Garden.
The servants living in Snow Garden were all loyal servants of the Marquis of Changping's mansion. When the Marquis of Changping's entire family was executed and many servants were sold, he had people secretly buy them and placed them there. The name Snow Garden means redress of injustice.
The Star Garden was a reward from the emperor when I was young. It covers a large area and has a mountain behind it. It is very beautiful to watch the stars on the mountain at night.
The emperor knew that he had loved watching the twinkling stars in the night sky since he was a child, so he gave the house to him.
Because he loved stars so much, he named it Xingyuan.
For this purpose, he also had a ten-story Star-Picking Tower built inside, specifically for stargazing.
Chu Tiankuo glanced at Xingnong and said, "Are you staying at Xingyuan tonight?"
Xing Nong shook her head when she heard that: "No, I have a house to live in."
Mr. Tang, Mr. Kong, and Shen Hanyu knew that she was going to Beijing, so they all gave her a house in the capital, and they had the title deed and keys in their hands.
She reported the addresses of the three houses: "Which one is closest to Princess Pingyang's residence?"
Songbai immediately said loudly, "Of course it's Xingyuan. The residences of the royal family live in the Xingyuan area. Xingyuan is only separated from Princess Pingyang's residence by a wall. The houses that Miss Xingnong just mentioned are on another street, which is quite far away."
It was correct to say that it was on another street, but Songbai did not mention that the backyard of Shen Hanyu’s house seemed to be only separated from the princess’s mansion by an alley, not very far.
After all, Miss Xingnong has followed her master back to Beijing, so how can she live in her parents' home? !
Of course, I live in my own home.
And Xingyuan, Xingyuan, the name itself means it is prepared for Miss Xingnong, the star that fell to the earth.
By the way, did the master know when he was a child that he would find a star as his wife in the future, so he looked at the stars every day
It is said that when he was three years old, he saw a meteor falling from the sky, and even asked his guards to take him on horseback to chase it!
He also built a Star-Picking Tower in the Star Garden, and he really picked stars.
By the way, he named the main courtyard Lanxingyuan. Doesn’t this mean that he wants to sleep with the stars in his arms
There are also Gongxing Garden, Shexing Pavilion, Feixing Pavilion, Mengxing Pavilion...
Tsk tsk~, I just realized that my master is so dirty.
Picking, embracing, and arching...
Chu Tiankuo knew that Xingnong was going to look for Xingqing at night, so he said, "There is a curfew in the capital at night."
Songbai nodded frantically outside: "Yes, yes, yes... After nightfall, outsiders are not allowed to walk on the street. There will be soldiers patrolling everywhere, especially the street near the Princess's Mansion. There are so many of them! Miss Xingnong, let me tell you a secret. Xingyuan and Princess Pingyang's Mansion are separated by only a wall. There is a dog hole in that wall. It's very convenient! I'll teach you how to get through the dog hole tonight!"
Xing Nong's mouth twitched: Dog hole? I never thought that I would have to crawl through a dog hole in my life.
It’s true that things are unpredictable!
She nodded: "... ....Then let's live in Xingyuan!"
So Chu Tiankuo sent Xingnong to Xingyuan and arranged for her to live in Lanxingyuan.
Xing Nong saw that this was the main courtyard, so he said, "I can just stay in the guest courtyard."
Chu Tiankuo: "The other courtyards haven't been cleaned yet, so just stay here. There is a hot spring pool in this courtyard. You can soak in it for a while, and all your tiredness will disappear."
Hot springs? There are hot springs
All right! I can’t refuse such a kind offer!
Chu Tiankuo instructed Xingyuan's servants and Songbai to take good care of Xingnong, and then he went into the palace.
Songbai asked the manager of the outer courtyard to take Shen Nan to live in the house next to his own.
Songbai also wants to remind the servants of Xingyuan that they must, must, absolutely, serve Xingnong well and attentively.
Xingyuan's housekeeper, Nanny Rong, looked to be about fifty years old. She was the queen's wet nurse and was very loyal. Seeing this, she asked directly, "Songbai, what is the identity of this Mr. Shen? Why would the master let him live in the main courtyard? Letting a foreign man live in the main courtyard, although the master does not live here on weekdays, but in the future when the master marries a concubine, this main courtyard will be the place where the master and the crown princess will stay when they go out. It is not appropriate to let a foreign man live here?!"
Songbai: "Mammy also knows that's where the future Crown Princess lives. She is the future Crown Princess! It couldn't be more suitable!"
If he hadn't tried so hard, Miss Xingnong wouldn't have lived here~!
There are a lot of houses waiting for her to choose from, but she has to live in a hospital here? Isn't that too unfair for her
Aunt Rong: "..."
He is the future Crown Princess!!!
Finished~
The prince actually found a man to be his princess? ! ! !
How sad would the Queen in the cold palace be if she found out
"Mammy, you must take good care of her! Tell the servants in the mansion to be respectful. The master cares deeply about her!"
Aunt Rong: “… ”
"Then I will arrange for Rong Jing and Rong Jin to serve him."
Rongjing and Rongjin are her grandsons.
The two of them kept their mouths shut.
The prince is homosexual, this matter must not be spread out!
Otherwise, the enthronement ceremony will be even more distant.
Songbai looked at Aunt Rong in shock: "Are you planning to send Rong Jing and Rong Jin to the palace's cleansing room to be castrated?"
Aunt Rong: "..."
Does the prince even have to have eunuchs serve him
Rong Jing and Rong Jin, who were walking over, subconsciously covered their little brothers when they heard this, and looked at their grandmother in horror: "Grandma, we don't want to be eunuchs!"
Songbai nodded: "Madam Rong, you don't have to make such a big sacrifice, just arrange two loyal maids to serve you!"
Rong Ma: "But the Crown Princess is a man, is it appropriate to arrange a maid?"
Rong Jing and Rong Jin shouted in horror: "The Crown Princess is a man!!!"
Aunt Rong glared at the two of them and said, "Shut up! This matter must not be revealed to anyone!"
The two nodded vigorously.
Rong Ma Ma thought of something and nodded again: "Yes, the future Crown Princess should not be interested in women, but men. It is not appropriate to arrange a man, lest the master get jealous. I'd better arrange two maids!"
Pine and cypress: “…”
When did he say that the Crown Princess was a man
On the roof, the person sent by Prime Minister Liang had just jumped onto the roof. After hearing this, he was so shocked that his feet slipped. Frightened and worried that he might alarm the people below, he quickly jumped down and left.
Songbai noticed the movement on the roof and his eyes narrowed. He wanted to go up to the roof to catch the man, but then he remembered something and ignored him.
"What are you talking about, Mammy? The Crown Princess is a woman dressed as a man!!!"

Prime Minister's Mansion
Prime Minister Liang asked in shock, "Are you telling the truth?"
He sent Liangshan to find out who the prince brought into the capital.
I didn't expect to get such hot news.
Liang Shan nodded: "I saw with my own eyes that it was a young man, and the servants of Xingyuan also shouted in surprise. The eldest prince arranged for him to live in the main courtyard."
Prime Minister Liang was surprised and happy. This matter was very beneficial to them, but he also had to make sure whether it was true.
If the eldest prince is really gay, then he really can't hope to become the crown prince!
He had seen a few homosexuals in the capital, and even some men and women who were homosexual, so Prime Minister Liang did not find it strange.
There are too many playboys from wealthy families who know how to have fun!
I just didn't expect that the eldest prince would also...
"You continue to pay attention to the interaction between the eldest prince and him. If there is any movement, report it immediately."
Good morning, let's catch an adulterer...
If this is true, once it is exposed, they won't have to do anything and he will be ruined!
But this also reminded him that even if it is fake, it can be made real!
"yes!"
