"Are you thinking I'm growing slowly?" Mu Huaiqian's palms were a little rough, but they were wide and stretched enough. They could wrap Ji Zishan's hands in their palms as much as they were holding each other. Ji Zishan turned her eyes away from the hands that were holding each other, and asked Mu Huaiqian with her eyebrow blinking.

Mu Huaiqian didn't want the little princess Peach Blossom to have a good ear. She could not help but laugh and replied: "...a little bit."

——It's not a little bit. He wished that the little princess of Peach Blossom would be in the hairpin tomorrow. Oh, no, Your Majesty would not let the little princess of Peach Blossom marry him as soon as he could be seventeen tomorrow. Mu Huaiqian thought about it like a big dream in his daytime.

Ji Zishan, who was in her prime, snorted softly: "Why are you growing so fast? I am the age of Shui Lingling, so I don't want to grow up."

Mu Huaiqian suddenly felt a black line, and his voice muffled: "...If you don't grow up, how can I marry you?"

Ji Zishan smiled and said, "You are such a fool."

The autumn wind is so cool, Mu Huaiqian faces the peach blossom little princess' naughty smile and also smiles slightly.

Time flies, Ji Zishan's life is very regular. Except for going to the Kang Prince's Mansion to date Mu Huaiqian every 20 days, she stayed honestly in the palace. She was quite happy when she was on a date and was also very happy when she stayed in the palace. In this way, the years were like flowing, and winter soon began. However, shortly after winter began, Prince Ying's mansion reported the news that Prince Ying's death was reported.

In the Shoukang Hall, where the warm earth dragon was burning, Empress Dowager Hui'an, who was holding a hand heater, replied slowly: "I understand, please step down."

After the cold weather, Ji Zishan didn't wander outside the house, and often hang out with Empress Dowager Hui'an and joked. However, Prince Ying's death was definitely not a joke. Ji Zishan threw away the purse that she had embroidered half of her purse. Well, winter was bored and had no time to play, so she embroidered a small purse for someone to play with, throw away the purse and hug the tea bowl. Ji Zishan frowned slightly and said, "My mother, the Fourth Prince's Aunt has died, I have to go and worship it."

No matter how Prince Ying is, she is the royal wife who was first enthroned by Emperor Tai. As a junior, Ji Zishan should indeed go to worship.

Empress Dowager Hui'an shook her eyebrows for a moment and replied, "When your brother Yuanbao is free, ask him to take you with him."

Given that the death was the royal princess, the female relatives who came and worshiped were either rich or noble, if they were asked to take care of the concubines inside, they would look bad. Therefore, Empress Dowager Hui'an ordered Princess Lian, Princess Rui, and Princess Shun to help with the care. As for the outside, she would follow Prince Ying. On the day when Ji Zishan went to the mansion with Prince Yuanbao to worship, although there was no cold wind, the air was very cool.

When they arrived at the mourning hall, Ji Zishan also worshiped the people in the mourning hall after the little prince Yuanbao. When the princess passed away, both the concubines in the mansion and the young ladies and young ladies had to kneel in the mourning hall. If any guests came to worship, they would have to cry out to express their condolences. After Ji Zishan worshipped, she glanced at the mourning hall. Well, the number of concubines who came to cry was obviously wrong. Maybe some excuses were made to come. As for the group of children, it was even more interesting.

There is not a single son, all those who wear mourning clothes are daughters, and they are all... all concubines.

Prince Ying's concubine Xiong married Prince Ying for more than 20 years and had not yet had any problems. However, there were quite a lot of concubines and daughters born in the mansion. But what was very irritable is that all the concubines and daughters grew up safely. The older ones got married and had children, and the younger ones grew up healthily in the mansion. But all his sons, from concubines to concubines, have five brothers, but they all died of illness.

"Sister Four Emperors, go and sit in the back for a while. Aunt San Wang is there, and the room is warmer." The person who spoke was Princess Rui, the wife of Ji Zike's third brother. She and Princess Lian, Princess Shun were ordered to assist in the funeral of Princess Ying. In fact, Princess Lian mainly plays a role in the conquest, and Princess Shun is the main force in entertaining the female family members of various prefectures.

Ji Zishan had no intention of staying in the mourning hall for too long, so she nodded and replied, "Okay."

As for the little prince Yuanbao, he couldn't leave as soon as he came. He had to sit on the chair and walk around the venue. At this time, he had already asked someone to lead him to the front. Ji Zishan was holding the buckle on her body and was about to leave when she suddenly saw a woman in the pile of concubines with a familiar appearance. She stopped and glanced at her again.

This move naturally could not escape Princess Rui's eyes. She only heard her warmly ask: "Fourth Princess, what are you looking at?"

"That melon-shaped face looks familiar, but I just can't remember who it is." Ji Zishan frowned and thought about it, but had no clue.

Princess Rui glanced at the beautiful young woman with a melon-shaped face, gently took Ji Zishan's arm, and whispered: "I know, come--" The mourning hall is not a place to gossip. Princess Rui told Princess Shun to watch the venue here first, saying that she would come back after sending Ji Zishan to Princess Lian's place. After the two left the mourning hall, Princess Rui opened her lips and spoke again, but she did not say who the man was, but kept it in hiding, "That woman has something to do with the eldest sister."

As soon as Princess Jingrui reminded him, some memories came in a row. Ji Zishan frowned slightly: "Oh, I remembered that it was the girl from the You family... It seemed to be called..."

She said why is it a little familiar? Isn’t this the sister of Prince Yu who has ever wanted to mess with her brother Yuanbao?

Strangely, when did she become a member of Prince Ying's harem?

Princess Rui was trying to suppress her, but Ji Zishan actually pointed out the identity of the woman in one sentence. This made Princess Rui strange: "That's right, she is indeed a girl from the You family, and her name is Ningxiang." She would know You Ningxiang because she had seen her in various flower-watching and banquets before, but this Four Emperors sister has grown up in the deep palace and has rarely appeared in public places outside the palace since she was a little older. How could she have seen You Ningxiang? "Is it possible that the Four Emperors sister has seen her before?"

Ji Zishan nodded and said, "I have seen her once in the residence of the Great Emperor Sister last year." The incident happened in the Yongchang Princess's Mansion that year, and the Concubine Rong, was very angry and very disgraced. Therefore, she ordered the people in the mansion to keep a good word and not to disclose every word. Empress Dowager Hui'an did not make any public comments, so You Ningxiang wanted to "acquaint" with the little prince Yuanbao, but the news did not leak.

"The four emperors rarely leave the palace, so it's a coincidence that they will meet You Ningxiang." Princess Rui's eyes flashed and she continued.

Ji Zishan curled her lips slightly: "What a coincidence..." You Ningxiang clearly came prepared. Judging from the situation at that time, You Daxian was obviously an accomplice. Ji Zishan didn't want to think too much about those unpleasant things, nor did she say too much. She was just wondering now, "How could she go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion?" You Ningxiang was only sixteen or seven years old, and Prince Ying was in her forties, and she was more than enough to be her father. Why did the You family agree to ask her to be a concubine?

It was cold in winter, and Princess Rui burst into white breath like clouds and mist: "I heard that it was delivered by the You family itself."

A big question mark appeared on Ji Zishan's face: "Why?" Does the You family have a sense of shame and humiliation? The eldest princess Ji Ziyuan is the niece of Prince Ying, and You Ningxiang is Ji Ziyuan's cousin. You Ningxiang's brother has also been the prince-in-law. Oh, and Concubine Rong who moved back to Fu'an Palace. With these layers of relationships, how can the You family do the job of sending a daughter as a concubine?

"The Four Emperors Sisters don't know anything." Princess Rui closed her clothes and explained in a low voice, "Since the death of the eldest princess and Concubine Rong moved back to the palace, the You family's life has become particularly difficult."

Ji Zishan thought about these words for a while and then realized that after Ji Ziyuan died of childbirth last year, the princess mansion where she lived and all dowry were counted and recycled. Ji Ziyuan married the You Mansion for nearly ten years, and the generous dowry she accompanied was paid to the You Mansion. Now the royal family has to recycle it in full. The You family must spit out what they had previously misappropriated. There are some precious gold and jade antiques that cannot be compensated. Sorry, it must be converted into silver to pay.

After this big struggle, the You family's family's wealth... was greatly damaged.

"...After completing the dowry of the eldest prince, the You family was very difficult to live. The whole family pointed at Mr. You to support his family. But the world was unpredictable. When Mr. You got up at night, somehow, he broke his waist and lay on the bed and was extremely moved. In this way, he even lost his errands in the yamen. Mi Zhu and Xiu Gui in the capital had no source of income, but how could he live..." Princess Rui's mother-in-law was Dou, who was now in her son's mansion. When she was bored, she liked to listen to gossip. Naturally, Princess Rui knew more clearly about the affairs of the You family.

Ji Zishan said softly and said, "I don't know if there is such a thing..." Little Princess Ji Zishan obviously forgot that when the You family was at its peak, she was having a romantic relationship with Comrade Mu Huaiqian, so she had no interest in asking for gossip.

Princess Rui continued, "...Mr. You fell on the bed and couldn't move anymore. None of his sons could do it. The family gradually fell to the point of pawning. The You family was already in decline. You Ningxiang, who was still in the boudoir, couldn't find any good family. His elder brother, our former elder brother-in-law..." Princess Rui curled her lips slightly, curled up a curve of contempt and mocking, "and she wanted to sell her sister to seek honor."

Ji Zishan: "..." What a scumbag brother, if you have the ability, you can do it yourself.

"I heard that the Fourth Prince Uncle met You Ningxiang when he was visiting the antique shop. You Ningxiang accidentally fell into the arms of the Fourth Prince Uncle... Later, she became the Aunt You in the Fourth Prince Uncle Mansion." Princess Rui said last, "After Aunt You entered the Mansion, the You family solved the difficulties for a while, and later, it turned out to be the same again."
