At night, lanterns were lit in each courtyard, but Aunt Jiang sat by the window and looked at the stars outside with gloomy eyes.
The prince has not been to her for a long time...
There are not many concubines in the palace. Apart from the princess Shangguan Rou, they are her and Chu Jing. Although the prince is not someone who misses Fengyue, he sometimes takes their feelings into consideration.
But then the prince began to stay away from her...
Even that bitch Chu Jing can serve me once or twice a month, why can't she!
Aunt Jiang clenched her fists fiercely, stood up, walked to the bronze mirror and looked sadly at herself in the mirror.
Her father spent a lot of money on her training since she was little. She was pampered and pampered. Although she gave birth to a child, her body shape and posture are still the same as before.
Looking at her still beautiful and charming face in the mirror, Aunt Jiang couldn't be happy.
Shangguan Rou's natal family comes from a scholarly family. She has a strong scholarly aroma and is gentle and virtuous, but how can she compare to her enchanting charm.
Don’t all men like this one the most? Why is the prince staying away from her more and more?
…
After thinking about it wildly, Aunt Jiang felt her heart start to burn.
She stood up suddenly, startling the maid next to her.
"What's wrong with you, madam?"
She glanced at the maid, her eyes flickered, and she said calmly: "I want to be alone. Please step aside first and ask the two guards at the door to step back as well."
The maid was startled by her rare and pleasant attitude, and was a little unable to respond to what she said. When she saw her look at her, she nodded immediately, "My slave, please leave."
After saying that, he walked out, opened the door and passed the original words to the two guards.
Mu Zhi glanced at the woman in the room subconsciously, and said hesitantly: "But the prince has given instructions to protect Mrs. Jiang."
Aunt Jiang's lukewarm words rang out: "Madam, I want to sleep peacefully alone today. Please step aside and come back tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't be able to escape in the middle of the night."
If she didn't send them away, how could she do the next thing?
The two guards looked at each other and retreated together.
Watching them go away, Aunt Jiang walked to the door and listened carefully. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one was there.
Then she walked to the bed and squatted down, carefully opened the drawer, and there was a box inside. She reached in and after hesitating for a moment, she chose to take it out.
The curtain was lowered, blocking the view from outside.
——
"What happened to this old witch today? She actually asked us to come back. But it's just the right time to go back and have a good sleep." The tall guard stretched his body and turned to look at the wooden branches next to him.
Seeing his thoughtful face, his eyes widened immediately, "Hey, no, you're still thinking about it. Stop thinking about it. As long as she doesn't cause trouble, we can still be happy."
Why haven't I seen him so positive usually?
Of course Mu Zhi also wanted to be free, but now he was particularly curious about why Aunt Jiang wanted to send them all away.
Even the personal maid was asked to leave. He went to guard the courtyard for a short period of time. He also had a rough idea of Aunt Jiang's temperament. It was impossible not to let others serve her.
The curiosity in his heart grew bigger and bigger, and coupled with what happened during the day, Mu Zhi finally couldn't hold it back any longer.
"You go back first, I won't go back," he said.
The tall guard was just stunned for a moment, and then said with an evil smile: "You kid, you must be addicted again. You even disliked me during the day, but now you can't help it anymore."
Mu Zhi didn't refute, just kicked him over, "There's so much nonsense, let's go quickly."
The tall guard smiled instead of being angry, "Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore. A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Just don't get up late tomorrow."
After saying that, he patted Mu Zhi on the shoulder and left humming a tune.
Mu Zhi looked back at the direction where Aunt Jiang lived, his eyes flickered, and then he walked back.
When he reached the courtyard, he thought about it and climbed onto the roof again.
Follow the general route to find Aunt Jiang's wing, and then carefully uncover the tiles.
His hands were shaking slightly when he was unveiling the tiles. Spying on his master was a capital crime, but he couldn't help it. He was too curious.
However, when he quietly opened the tiles, he only saw the curtain and the looming figure of the woman.
Only sounds can be heard.
But the prince didn’t come tonight???
There were no other men in the lady's room.
Jiang Yue's charming posture was constantly swirling in her mind. Even after giving birth to a child as big as Miss Er, she still looked young.
But his reason told him that he couldn't do this.
After a while, Mu Zhi silently put the tiles back in place and jumped off the roof.
——
In two days' time, it would be the day for Mu Nanping to set off. Shangguan Rou naturally took him as the leader and ordered the kitchen to cook almost all the dishes he liked.
But Mu Qingyan and others seemed to have made an appointment, so they did not come to the main hall to have dinner together. She went to the old prince's courtyard.
The old prince was naturally overjoyed when he saw his granddaughter coming, and quickly asked the small kitchen to cook some of Mu Qingyan's favorite dishes.
"Thank you, grandpa." She obediently sat down next to him.
The old prince's gaze fell on her hand and he frowned slightly, "Why did you take off the gauze?"
Looking at the scarred hands that were not healed yet, the old prince felt very distressed.
His granddaughter is the apple of his eye. She has been pampered since she was a child and has never touched needlework, but now her hands look like this.
