"Brother!" The closer he got to the tea room, the more excited Jing Shao was, and he couldn't help but quicken his steps, calling someone before he entered the room.
Jing Chen put down the tea cup in his hand, frowned slightly, and looked at Jing Shao who trotted in and couldn't help but said, "A married person is so frizzy, what a formality!"
Jing Shao stopped reflexively, then shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was used to being reprimanded by his elder brother since he was a child, and wanted to run away when he heard his training. Now, when he hears this "what kind of decency", he feels very cordial, and I just hope that he can live long and long. Rebuking yourself like this. He walked in carelessly and saw his brother frowning at him, he couldn't help but grinned and stepped forward to salute his brother and sister-in-law.
"Uncle," Mrs. Xiao, the sister-in-law who was sitting next to him, got up and returned the salute. Seeing that Jingchen still had a cold face and didn't speak, he smiled and said, "I shouldn't have come. I heard that my brother was feeling ill, and I didn't see him after noon. Here, your brother is not at ease, so you brought me here." In ordinary people, it's when they meet their parents, brothers and sisters in the morning, and they recognize their relatives after noon. It also makes sense.
Jing Shao naturally understood the reason. Hearing what his sister-in-law said, he looked up at his brother who was still frowning slightly. He felt warm in his heart. He wasn't pleasing to the eye, but he didn't notice how much this man had done for him in places he didn't know about.
"Brother..." Jing Shao rubbed in front of his brother, opened his mouth, and only one word popped out.
Jingchen was stunned for a while and looked up at him in surprise. Ever since his father ordered him to marry the second son of Beiweihou, the younger brother he loved and protected since he was a child refused to call him "elder brother", and he only met him. Calling "Second Emperor Brother" made his heart hurt. Today, Japan didn't expect him to visit him, but unexpectedly, the housekeeper of the palace came to accuse him personally, which raised some hope in his heart. Seeing that he hadn't come after noon, he couldn't sit still and ran over, unexpectedly. Such a surprise.
The two brothers Xiao Shiguan seemed to have something to say, and got up with a smile and said, "I'll go see the princess."
"Sister-in-law... Jun Qing hasn't got up yet. You and your brother stay here for a while, and I'll call him out." Jing Shao hurriedly stopped Xiao Shi.
"Yo, look at me, I'm all confused!" Xiao Shi was stunned for a moment, then he clenched the handkerchief in his hand in annoyance and blushed. Princess Cheng is a man, and although she is a sister-in-law, she has no reason to visit him in front of his bed, but his brother can go to the inner room to see Dixu.
Jingchen glanced at his wife thoughtfully, got up and said to Jing Shao, "since brother Xu is ill, don't bother him. I'll go take a look with you."
Duofu, who was on the side, listened, and quietly asked the little girl to run quickly to inform the princess.
When Jing Shao brought his brother to Dongyuan's bedroom, he saw Mu Hanzhang wearing a coat leaning on the soft couch outside, with a thin blanket covering his body. The coat is loose and soft, and it looks like it is worn at home. Although it is not very formal, the belt is neatly tied, which not only shows that the person is sick, but also does not appear rude.
Looking at this situation, Jingchen nodded secretly and stopped Mu Hanzhang from getting up and salute: "Why did he fall ill on the second day of the wedding?" Jingchen looked at his younger brother, and heard that Princess Cheng was ill today, his first reaction was What happened in the palace this morning.
"This..." Jing Shao coughed lightly and touched his nose. No matter how thick his face was, his brother's eyes were still a little hot.
Seeing Jing Shao's embarrassed appearance, Mu Hanzhang bent his mouth slightly: "Brother Huang, don't worry, it's just that he caught a cold and got a little fever, and the fever has subsided after drinking the medicine.
"Well, yes, Beiwei Hou's family is too stingy, and their wedding dresses are so thin." Jing Shao hurriedly echoed, but he didn't know that these words would only get darker and darker, and Mu Hanzhang couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Jingchen looked at his brother and sighed: "you go to the study with me, I have something to tell you."
Jing Shao was carried away dejectedly, turned his head secretly before going out, and made a pitiful expression towards Mu Hanzhang.
"Haha..." Mu Hanzhang was amused by his appearance. Unexpectedly, a taciturn and stern person turned into a child in front of his brother. He couldn't help laughing out loud. The elegant gentleman suddenly smiled. Indescribably bright and moving.
Seeing him smiling, Jing Shao smiled so nicely, so he followed his brother to the study with satisfaction.
"My concubine, please be safe, sister-in-law." Mrs. Xiao couldn't help frowning as she looked at Song Lingxin who was giving gifts in front of her. This person is Jing Shao's wife. She entered the door two years ago. She can also call her sister-in-law, but now that Princess Zheng has passed the door, the Song family still appears in the tea room like a mistress, dressed in water pink. Su Jinluo skirt, wearing a golden phoenix with pearls and shaking hairpins, so flamboyant!
"Why did you come here?" Mrs. Xiao was still worried about the second prince glaring at her just now, but now she was even more upset when she saw Song Lingxin like this, so she asked directly without being polite.
"Your Highness and the Second Highness have something to discuss. The concubine thought that it would be boring for my sister-in-law to drink tea alone, so I prepared refreshments in the Xiaohua Hall and specially invited my sister-in-law to come and try it." Song Lingxin said this cleverly, deliberately slurred her words, and it sounded like It was as if Jing Shao had greeted her.
Xiao Shi thought about it, Princess Cheng is a man who can't entertain her, and there is nothing wrong with coming to accompany her to drink tea in the side room. Besides, the two brothers have been gone for so long and have not come out yet, so there must be something important to discuss. So he got up and followed Song to Xiyuan.
"Master, this servant heard that the second prince and the concubine went to Xiaohua Hall for tea." Lan Ting refilled Mu Hanzhang's cup of tea and whispered to him.
"Oh?" Mu Hanzhang, who was reclining on the couch, raised his head from the book, and looked at the nervous little girl amusingly, "Where did you hear that?" Lan Ting is quite clever, but he is young and follows him around. The time around him was short, and he had to be a little timid. Today, he took the initiative to inquire about the news. Naturally, he had to be encouraged.
"I heard what Sister Mengxi said when I went to the tea room to add water." Lan Ting bit his lower lip, his face was a little indignant. Mengxi's tone of voice was obviously to compliment the lady side, and he was full of embarrassment for the young master being left out. It's schadenfreude.
Mu Hanzhang nodded: "Well done." Immediately, he turned his eyes to the book again.
"Master," Lan Ting was very dissatisfied with his young master's indifferent attitude, "you don't even know what Mengxi said."
Mu Hanzhang raised his head helplessly, and said in a calm tone, "She must have said 'the princess was crushed on the head by Mrs. Side the day after she got married, and I don't know who to listen to in the manor', right?"
Lan Ting's eyes widened in surprise: "Master, how did you know?"
Mu Hanzhang shook his head with a chuckle, this stupid girl wrote everything on her face, it was hard for him not to see it.
"Wangfei Wangfei, the prince asked Daoyao to use dinner together with His Second Highness, so that you don't have to wait in the room." Zhixi came in to spread the word, and asked the servant who carried the food box to put the meal outside.
"Got it." Mu Hanzhang put down the book in his hand and sat down at the dinner table. He had a fever and lost his appetite at noon, but now he is really hungry.
Zhixi personally stood in front of the table to prepare dishes, Mu Hanzhang held up his rice bowl and looked at the table full of exquisite dishes. It was indeed much more luxurious than the Beiweihou Mansion, and he didn't have to set rules in front of his mother-in-law every day to marry the prince. If a woman is married to Prince Cheng's mansion, she must be very happy, right
Thinking of Jingshao's gentle smile, Mu Hanzhang couldn't help sighing. If he was the concubine of Beiwei Hou's mansion, he would definitely not be qualified to marry King Cheng. Now he still doesn't know whether all this is fortunate or unfortunate
"Zhixi, is there a map in this palace?" After dinner, Mu Hanzhang asked casually with a drink of tea.
"Back to the princess, there are pictures, in the small study, the slave will look for it." Zhixi responded respectfully, the small study refers to the study here in Dongyuan, not far from the bedroom, and quickly brought it back.
Mu Hanzhang was a little surprised that Zhixi could go to the study to get him something, but Jingshao actually allowed him to read the things in the study at will? He didn't believe that this girl would dare to give it to him without Jingshao's permission. Instead, he felt that he was thinking too much, and there might not be any important secrets in the small study.
Slowly opening the scroll in his hand, the precise style of painting is obviously a polished design, and the overview of the palace is clear at a glance. The palace is divided into two courtyards, the front and the back, separated by the garden and the Tingfeng Pavilion. The Tingfeng Pavilion includes many buildings such as a tea room, a study, a warm pavilion, a waterside pavilion, etc. The female family lives in Xiyuan. Because Mu Hanzhang was not a female dependent and could not live in Xiyuan, he lived with Jingshao in Dongyuan.
His eyes swam across the entire painting, and finally settled on the "Xinohara Flower Hall", which should be what they call the small flower hall, located in the center of Xiyuan. Mu Hanzhang closed the scroll. He is a man, and it is also appropriate for the side room to entertain his brother and sister-in-law on his behalf. However, this is what Jing Shao explained or the side's wife Song's own opinion, and the meaning is very different.
"Princess Qi, two concubines from Xiyuan have come to serve tea to the princess." Mengxi walked in from the door and said with a smile, secretly observing Mu Hanzhang's reaction.
"Huh?" Mu Hanzhang couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the words. King Cheng had two concubines in a side room. He knew this before marriage. Now both concubines have come to offer tea. "Why hasn't Mrs. Side come yet? Is this a demonstration against him, or is he testing the king's attitude
There was a sneer on the corner of his lips, the little tricks of the women were really boring. He got up and changed his clothes, and let the two concubines wait in the side hall. Mu Hanzhang changed into a royal blue uniform without a crown on his head, so he asked Lan Ting to tie a hairband of the same color at will, Fang called. Two concubines entered.
Zhi Xi couldn't help frowning when she saw the situation in front of her, thinking that the lady on this side was following the prince to see off the guests, right? On his face, he introduced to Mu Hanzhang with a smile. Dressed in a light yellow dress, the one who looks soft is Wang Ji Liu, and the one in the green dress is the concubine Li who is petite and clever.
