Ruoyao couldn't stop laughing: "It's only been an hour since I burned the incense. Miss has already asked the question for the fifth time. If Miss didn't trust them to be alone in private, why did she take the initiative to let Miss Mingxi go to the practice room before?"
Gu Shanzhang replied confidently: "I saw that Ming Xi was uneasy, so I opened my mouth. Who knew that the two of them had such a lack of self-control."
Ruoyao: "..."
You are the master, whatever you say is right.
Ruoyao followed Gu Shanchang's words and said with a smile: "I will go outside the training room to urge Miss Mingxi to come back early."
Gu Shanchang nodded and quickly changed his mind: "Let's forget it! They will have no chance to see each other again before they get married. Let them talk more tonight."
Ruoyao was very amused when she heard this.
My lady is not a soft-tempered person. On the contrary, she has been stubborn and stubborn since she was young. After accepting Xie Mingxi as her disciple, the principles that she is proud of have been changed and retreated again and again...
"Is Master talking about me again?" Familiar footsteps sounded at the door, and Xie Mingxi's familiar smiling face appeared in front of her.
Gu Shanchang pretended to be indifferent: "It's nothing."
Ruoyao suppressed a smile and agreed: "Yeah, I didn't talk about it much, I only asked five times."
Gu Shanchang: "..."
Xie Mingxi burst into laughter.
I don't know since when, her usual smile mask is hanging on her face less and less, and her emotions are becoming more and more obvious.
When she is happy, she will smile heartily. When she is angry, she will have a sullen face. When she is reluctant, she will shed a tear or two in Master's arms. When she is sad...Ignore this.
Since her rebirth, she has only made people sad and sad, and she has never encountered anything that really made her sad.
Xie Mingxi didn't look in the mirror, and she didn't know how beautiful she looked at that moment.
She was obviously wearing old home clothes and had neither powdered nor dressed up, but her star-like eyes and the curved corners of her mouth seemed to be shining with light.
There is no way for women to stay in college!
Gu Shanchang secretly sighed in his heart, his eyes passed over Xie Mingxi's fingers, and he said softly: "Why is there an extra ring on your hand?"
As soon as I asked, I regretted it.
I'm about to be shown affection again.
Sure enough, Xie Mingxi responded with a rather reserved smile: "Sheng Hong ordered someone to make a pair of gold rings, with the characters Ming and Hong engraved on the inside. He and I each wore one."
Gu Shanchang: "..."
Gu Shanchang looked at Xie Mingxi with a look that said, "The good cabbage at home has finally been taken away by the little pig." He sighed with a complicated mood: "Sheng Hong treats you with great affection. When we get married in the future, you should also treat her well."
he."
Xie Mingxi nodded obediently.
Gu Shanchang added: "Your wedding is on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. After the end of the year in the academy, you can go back to Xie's Mansion! You can't stay there until two days before the wedding."
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "I will return to Xie's Mansion after the fifth day of the New Year."
Chief Gu Shan was obviously full of joy, but he said: "You were supposed to be waiting for marriage in the mansion, and you have been living in Lianchi Academy with me. If your father didn't say anything, you must be feeling unhappy in your heart. You'd better go back early!"
Xie Mingxi slightly raised her eyebrows: "Master is wrong. My father hopes that I will stay with Master more, and the deeper the relationship with Master, the better. In this way, Master will protect me at all times. In the future, I will marry the seventh prince. The Queen will see
For Master’s sake, he will treat me a little more favorably.”
Gu Shanchang: "..."
Okay! Xie Jun is such a snobbish person who can't bear to do anything early.
Gu Shanchang thought for a while and laughed: "That's fine. Anyway, I only have one disciple like you. Although we are not related by blood, we are more than relatives. I won't let anyone else take my light from you."
Xie Mingxi and Gu Shanchang looked at each other and smiled.
The winter night is biting and the wind is blowing. This room is not spacious, but it is exceptionally warm.
…
The sixteenth year of Jianwen came soon under Sheng Hong's ardent expectation.
As a prince, Sheng Hong is not the one who is valued the most, and he is particularly busy during the New Year.
Now the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince have all moved into their own mansions. He is about to get married and moved into his own princely mansion in the twelfth lunar month of last year.
The prince's wedding has its own etiquette. These are all handled by the Ministry of Etiquette, so Sheng Hong does not need to worry. He has to worry about the decoration of the prince's palace.
The Seventh Prince's Mansion was rebuilt from the former "Sixth Princess' Mansion" and is adjacent to Princess Changping's Mansion. It is only a few streets away from the Prince's Mansion of the Second Prince and others.
The residences of the descendants of the royal family are all near the palace. Then there are the palaces of the various vassals. The Huainan palace and the Linjiang palace are a little further away. Those royal family members who are separated by several generations live even further away.
Speaking of it, there is not much difference between the Tian family and the famous families. The clansmen live together, and the clan house occupies the best position. The direct branches are close to the clan house, while the concubine branches are sent farther away.
This Seventh Prince's Mansion is the residence of Sheng Hong. When he leaves the capital to join the vassal state, this residence will be his vassal prince's palace in the capital. After a few years, it can be passed down to his descendants to live in.
Unless he commits a heinous crime of treason, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, he will not have the right to take back the prince's palace.
After moving into his own mansion, Sheng Hong felt relaxed and happy.
Living in the palace, there are ears and eyes everywhere, and there are many worries about what you say and do, as if you are tightly bound by an invisible net. Now in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, freedom is much more relaxed.
Even if there are the ears and eyes of Emperor Jianwen and Empress Yu around, it is much easier than in the palace.
As usual, Eunuch Wei was the head of the chamberlains, and Xiang Hui was the head of the palace maids. The Zhou guards were promoted to be the commanders of the guards.
As for Ranmo, he has become more honest and contented after his illness. Now he is in charge of the sewing room, washing room, and is still very important. However, he no longer serves the Seventh Prince closely.
In fact, except for Xiang Hui, the other maids had no chance to get close to the Seventh Prince. Even the charming and gentle troublemaking maids that Queen Yu rewarded, the Seventh Prince did not even touch a finger.
Xianghui was a little embarrassed, so she tactfully and implicitly advised the seventh prince: "Your Highness, this is a maid given by the Queen. Your Highness should not be so negligent."
The so-called trouble-making maid must teach the princes about human affairs before their wedding.
Before the wedding of the other princes, Queen Yu rewarded the maids who caused trouble.
Yin Xiaoxiao, who was the most jealous and the strongest, after marrying the fifth prince, also placed this troublemaking maid in the inner chamber. In terms of use, she was a step above ordinary concubines.
However, Sheng Hong never even touched the troubled palace maid. It would not be wonderful if this matter got to Queen Yu's ears!
Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows and said decisively: "No one except Mingxi can touch my innocent body!"
