In the palace, the queen called several princes into the palace. Among these princes, the ones that gave her the most headache were her second son Mu Lenglie and her fourth son Mu Chulie. One of them had not married because he still missed his old love, and the other
One is playful by nature and unwilling to settle down. This makes her anxious as a mother. Seeing that Leng Lie is already twenty-five years old. Twenty-five years old is considered an old age in the royal family. The prince is generally fifteen.
Married at the age of 18.
"Leng Lie, I have already said that your Prince Lie is going to choose a princess. What day would you like to set the date for choosing the princess?" The queen deliberately said it in front of all her sons this time, so that he could
I couldn't refuse categorically, I had to save some face for my mother in front of everyone.
"Second brother, this move is really powerful. You can't do it if you don't do it!" Mu Chulie said quietly in Mu Lenglie's ear, Mu Lenglie glared at his younger brother, and Mu Chulie felt a chill on his back.
, his second brother, has started to look like an iceman since Yuqing left, and he is not at all womanly.
"Chu Lie, after finishing your second brother's wedding, the Queen Mother will help you prepare yours. You have to take it easy." Before Mu Chulie's smile could fade away, he heard the Queen Mother's words that gave him a headache.
, he now felt the retribution of schadenfreude, and he began to pray that his second brother Lenglie would not get married. Mu Lenglie snorted and looked at Mu Chulie.
"Yes, Queen Mother, I understand." Mu Chulie put away his joking expression and replied seriously.
"This is the first batch of portraits presented. You are all here today. Help Leng Lie take a look at it to see which one is the most suitable to be the princess." The princes looked at the portraits with interest. The ones in these portraits were all officials.
Young ladies from the family, relatives of the royal family, or daughters of prominent folk families, all of them are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and have the appearance of a country and a city. Among them, Mu Chulie watched the most enthusiastically. He knew that the second brother did not know these things.
If he is interested, he is optimistic about it now, and he can catch up with them one by one.
On the contrary, today's protagonist, Mu Lenglie, seemed to be okay, drinking tea leisurely. Over the years, he has not been tempted by women at all. Except for his mother and a few younger sisters, he has never opened his eyes to see any woman. Of course.
, except that one, Mu Lenglie thought of the girl named Mu Yizhi who fed him medicine when he was injured, but she was not a woman at all, at most, she was just a young girl with yellow hair. Mu Lenglie wondered why he let her go
In his heart, this was too abnormal for him. For so many years, he had only room for one person in his heart.
"Leng Lie, what are you thinking about? Why don't you look at these portraits." The queen was so surprised. She didn't expect that her son who came out of the ice cave would also be in a daze.
"Queen Mother, you can just watch it for me, I don't care." Mu Lenglie got up and knelt down. Before the queen could stop him, he had already disappeared, leaving a group of people there to help him choose a concubine.
"Are you blind? Why did you put such an ugly hairpin on my head?" Gan Xianfeng threw the hairpin on her head to the ground and slapped Mu Yizhi who was helping her dress up. Mu Yizhi shook her body.
She almost couldn't stand still. Redness and swelling immediately appeared on the left side of her face. The redness and swelling on her right face from being beaten before had not completely subsided. "Go pick up the hairpin and give it to me. You can't afford to pay for it if it's broken." Mu Yizhi hurriedly ran over and took it.
When he picked up the hairpin, he stumbled and fell to the ground. The hairpin fell out and flew to Gan Xianfeng, scratching her clothes.
"You little bitch dare to cut my clothes, do you want to kill me?" Gan Xianfeng stood up suddenly, picked up the hairpin on the ground and stabbed Mu Yizhi on the thigh.
"Ah..." Mu Yizhi fainted after a scream, "Someone, carry her to the north courtyard and try to wake her up.
Seeing his cousin, who looked like a little fairy when he first arrived, now half-dead, Lao An was filled with guilt. Miss Ling'er was so kind to her back then, but he watched Miss Ling'er's daughter suffer like this.
Mu Yizhi has been in Lin Mansion for half a year. During these six months, she has been a slave, but her life is worse than that of a slave. She is often beaten and even hungry. Fortunately, Lao An and other maids always secretly leave food for her.
Yes, otherwise it would be even more sad. If Lin Ling'er had a soul in heaven, she would regret having asked her daughter to find her aunt and cousin.
"Miss Cousin, this is Lao An's little savings. Don't dislike it. You can leave when the injury on your leg is better. If you stay here any longer, you will only suffer." Lao An secretly gave Mu a bag of broken silver.
Yizhi.
Mu Yizhi quickly blocked the money back. She knew that Amber was also alone, and he must have saved the money for his old age. How could she take his money, but he had already mentioned leaving.
"Amber, can I... really leave?" Mu Yizhi also thought about leaving, but she thought this was her mother's former home, and she could still feel her mother's taste when she stayed here, but until now
She really couldn't support it anymore.
"Miss Cousin, let's go."
"Amber, can you help me?" Mu Yizhi knew that her aunt would not let her go so easily.
"Miss Cousin, don't worry, I, Lao An, will take you out this time even if I risk my life."
Mu Yi Zhi suddenly became excited. She had never been so eager to leave here. "Miss Cousin, your handkerchief fell off." Lao An picked up the white handkerchief on the ground and handed it to Mu Yi Zhi. It was the man's handkerchief at that time.
She wiped his face with the handkerchief and then threw it away. She couldn't figure out why she kept it with her.
However, God did not give her a chance to escape. On this day, under the cover of Lao An, when she was about to leave the Lin Mansion, Lin Yingyin suddenly appeared in her room, but she did not see Mu Yizhi.
Gotta go.
"Oh, cousin, I heard that you were injured, so I came here to see you. Are you feeling better now?" Lin Yingyin suddenly seemed like a different person, speaking to Mu Yizhi very considerately.
Could it be that my cousin suddenly changed and wanted to treat me as her cousin? Mu Yizhi thought to herself, if that was the case, there would be no need to escape with injuries.
"Come in quickly." Lin Yingyin gave an order, and several doctors appeared, "Show it to my cousin, and make sure she recovers within ten days." Mu Yizhi saw that her cousin was so worried about her injury,
My heart is filled with a warm feeling. After all, we are blood relatives.
"Cousin, these are your clothes. I asked someone to bring them to you. Here, I made a few new ones!" Lin Yingyin took out a lot of light-colored clothes while the doctor was treating Mu Yizhi.
clothes.
"cousin……"
"Oh, don't use this expression. We are direct cousins. It's natural for me to take care of you. If I did something wrong in the past, cousin, you have to forgive me."
