Following his memory, King Yan approached a courtyard.
In front of the courtyard, a woman with a rough maid was about to lock up the courtyard - this courtyard had been tidied up in advance, and it was the main courtyard of the house, but the prince had to mention by name that he wanted to live in Mingjian today.
Hall, under this situation, the only way to move some of the things prepared in this courtyard is to worry about it now.
"In terms of location and lighting in Mingjian Hall, where can it be better than here?" The maid whispered: "They all said today that the prince felt that the late princess died prematurely in this courtyard, and he disliked this courtyard as unlucky, so he didn't
Willing to live in..."
"That was all many years ago, and this yard has been renovated more than once. Even if there is really any dirt, it should have been cleared away long ago..."
As she spoke, the mother-in-law turned around and suddenly saw King Yan standing not far away. Her face changed greatly and she quickly knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty..."
The maid also knelt down, her face pale and bloodless.
"Back off."
There was no emotion or anger in the man's calm voice.
"Yes...servant, please leave."
The mother-in-law got up and left quickly with her maid.
After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and looked back.
The maid was still shocked. She looked at her mother-in-law and asked: "Mommy, what's wrong..."
The woman held the key in her hand, shook her head, and continued walking forward.
She was frightened for a moment, otherwise she would have asked the prince if he needed the key to the yard...
But now that they are gone, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and the prince may not be going in, maybe he is just passing by.
Listening to the sound of footsteps disappearing, King Yan came to the courtyard wall, jumped forward and stepped on the wall, jumped up to the top of the wall, and jumped into the courtyard.
After looking around the courtyard for a while, he came to the hall and bedroom, and felt that what he saw was more unfamiliar than familiar.
But there are still subtleties, and there are still vague traces that overlap with those in his memory.
The Golden Crow has quietly slid to the west mountain. There is only a closed carved window. There is a golden haze outside, and the room has fallen into a murky darkness.
King Yan slowly sat down in a huanghuali comb-backed chair, as if he was trying to feel the old shadows of his past years.
The sky became darker and darker, the darkness swallowed up the last ray of dusk, and the room became completely dark. The man sitting there seemed to be one with the silent silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the man left the inner room and walked out step by step.
The full moon was already high in the sky, and the moonlight made the courtyard even more peaceful and quiet.
Under the courtyard wall, a plum tree quietly accepted the baptism of the moonlight.
The plum tree that was originally planted by the mistress of the yard has not been pruned for a long time, and no one even remembered to take care of it and water it. It only relied on the care of the sun, rain and dew, and it survived so wildly and wantonly.
The tall and tall man stood beside the plum tree and did not leave until late at night.
…
The next day, the morning sun broke through the clouds, and the sky and earth were bright and prosperous.
Xu Mingyi came to the eldest princess's mansion early in the morning.
The Duke of Zhen Guo led his troops to go on an expedition. Princess Yufeng was afraid that her friend would feel trapped at home alone, so she sent a special message yesterday asking her friend to come to her house as a guest.
"You said you were a guest, so you asked me to take care of your children."
In the yard, Xu Mingyi played shuttlecock for a long time with the eldest princess, and complained to her friend who was sitting on the verandah drinking tea and watching.
"Xie Dingning has been particularly troubled recently. If she doesn't care, she will run out. I just want to find someone to tire her out. Why don't you kick her?" Princess Yufeng looked at her friend who came over and said nothing.
No guilt.
"Tired."
Xu Mingyi threw the shuttlecock in his hand to Akui.
Ordinarily A-Zhu would be more suitable to do this kind of work, but considering the safety of the game, A-Kui is obviously more appropriate.
"Are you really tired?" Princess Yufeng handed a cup of tea to her friend, blinked her eyes and suggested, "How about going to my yard and let's listen to music?"
Xu Mingyi took a sip of tea and said, "Then I'd better play shuttlecock with you."
Her grandfather had just left the capital with his troops, so it would be uneasy for her to indulge in so much extravagance.
"When Wu Hao came to the capital, you didn't even dare to listen to the little songs?" Princess Yufeng seemed to have discovered some great secret: "Xu Zhaozhao, didn't you see that, if you are a man, you are a
Totally strict wife control!"
"...Besides these things, can you think of anything else in your mind all day long? Even if you just put some water in it and help wash it," Xu Mingyi said while taking a tangerine in his hand.
Peel it off.
When Princess Yufeng was about to answer the call again, a maid came over and said: "Princess, your Royal Highness Prince Yan is here. He said he came to see His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
Xu Mingyi peeled the orange for a moment.
It actually came.
"Prince Yan?" Princess Yufeng reacted for a moment, then turned to look at her mother, who was having a great time playing shuttlecock with A Kui, and waved: "Xie Dingning, come here quickly, your second brother sees you coming!"
"Second brother?"
The eldest princess immediately dropped the shuttlecock in her hand and looked around: "Where are the people?"
Princess Yufeng looked at the maid who was delivering the message: "Why don't you invite people in quickly——"
The maid agreed and hurried away.
Xu Mingyi and Princess Yufeng stood up from the cushions and adjusted each other's clothes and appearance.
Not long after, King Yan appeared in everyone's sight with an entourage.
Facing this prince who was very unfamiliar to most people, everyone saluted.
"Where is my second brother?"
The eldest princess began to ask anxiously.
When Grandma Jiang was about to speak, she saw that King Yan had already walked over with his hands behind his back and asked with a smile: "Ding Ning, you don't recognize your second brother? You can't even recognize him. I won't give it to you when I come back next time."
I’m buying candied haws."
The eldest princess looked at him in a daze, and couldn't help but ask: "...are there any candied haws?"
King Yan took out the candied haws hidden behind his back. The eldest princess reached out to take it, but he suddenly moved away, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Do you recognize who I am now?"
"It's the second brother! I recognize your voice! Why do you have a beard all over your face now?"
King Yan immediately smiled when he heard this, and then handed over the candied haws in his hand.
The eldest princess took a bite with a smile, raised her chin proudly, and raised the candied haws in her hand in the direction of Princess Yufeng.
Princess Yufeng snorted lightly.
With the support of my second brother, I can show off to her.
But she doesn't allow her to eat candied haws on weekdays, isn't it for the sake of her teeth?
What I have to say is that after all your hard work, you put on a bad face and don't allow your children to eat sweets. As a result, the relatives who came to visit brought a box of candy, making the children smile happily. If you try to stop them at this time, you will definitely look disappointed.
So you can only watch the child eat. When she takes a bite, your teeth will unconsciously clenched...
It really makes me feel so complicated that I never want to be a mother again in my life.
