Even though the limelight is in full swing now, when it is time to leave the palace for a tryst, Ji Zishan is still unambiguous.
Mu Huaiqian is the same.
On the second holiday in May, Mu Huaiqian pretended to be calm and left the yard. On the way, he happened to meet Brother Mu Huaice who was walking and strolling.
Seeing that his brother ran out early in the morning, Mu Huaice couldn't help but ask, "Huaiqian, what are you doing? If there is nothing important, stay at home honestly." Well, since his brother became the legendary fourth prince-consort, Mu Huaice fainted for a whole day before he was sure that this was not a dream. Seeing his brother casting a puzzled look, Mu Huaice explained with a clear cough again, "It's still a sensitive time, please keep a low profile."
Well, the matter of becoming the fourth prince consort of his brothers is really hot in the capital. He has secretly heard the envy, jealousy and hatred of his colleagues more than several times - I really don’t know what kind of dog feces the kid of the Mu family left, and he was able to marry the fourth princess.
Who is the Fourth Princess? That is the Queen Mother's biological daughter, His Majesty the Emperor's favorite sister.
To be honest, Brother Mu Huaice was also very curious. After the marriage certificate was issued, he asked his brother immediately, and the brother only told him very innocently - he was not very clear. However, His Majesty's marriage certificate and the fourth princess must have known his father about it. He had already attached his doubts to his father's reply to explain his curiosity.
"The Fifth Prince made an appointment with me to play chess, but I won't go." Mu Huaiqian lied without changing his face. Now, there is nothing more important than dating a little princess Taohua.
Upon hearing this, Brother Mu Huaice replied, "Since it's the prince who asked you, it's really hard to refuse." For brothers, the fifth prince is no longer just a noble prince, but also his future brother-in-law. When the brother-in-law makes an appointment, he has to be invited to go, "Go, come back early after you finish, don't wander around outside." At this time, you must be low-key.
In the palace at this time.
A family including Empress Dowager Hui'an, His Majesty Ji Ziqing, Prince Yuanbao, Prince Yuanyuan and Princess Ji Zishan, had just finished a very rich breakfast. After several people washed their mouths, they took the tea cups for digestion and sipped slowly.
Empress Dowager Hui'an took a few sips of her digestive tea and then said to Ji Zishan, who was obviously absent-minded: "It's the sun today, and you are going out again. While the sun is not strong, hurry up and follow your brother Yuanbao out to avoid being bored in the carriage." It was already a hot summer, and Empress Dowager Hui'an couldn't stop her little daughter who wanted to leave the palace to meet, so she could only let her do whatever she wanted.
After hearing Empress Dowager Hui'an's words, Ji Zishan put down the teacup in her hand and said to the little prince Yuanbao: "Brother Yuanbao, let's go now."
The little prince Yuanbao lifted his eyelids and sipped tea slowly: "What are you urging me to finish the tea at least."
"What else can I drink?" Ji Zishan muttered softly, then stood up from the chair, took a slight step, and rushed to the little prince Yuanbao. She snatched his tea bowl with her left hand, raised her right arm and snatched the tea cover he was holding in his hand. After placing the tea bowl and tea cover next to the table, she grabbed the little prince Yuanbao's arm and dragged it out, "Go, go, go."
The little prince Yuanbao shouted and turned around: "Brother, look at this wild girl, hurry up and take care of her..."
His Majesty Ji Ziqing only looked at the wall with deafness.
The little prince Yuanyuan looked at the emperor's grandmother who was drinking tea with his eyebrows down, and then at the emperor's father who was leisurely slitting the tea with his water. Finally, he lowered his eyes and drank the tea seriously. Well, he didn't hear anything and saw nothing.
No one paid attention to him and let the little sister drag him violently. The little prince Yuanbao expressed his anger, but he was reluctant to get angry with the little girl, so he poured out his displeasure to Comrade Mu Huaiqian: "Oh, I came so early, are you rushing to reincarnate?"
Facing the little prince Yuanbao who had returned to his sarcastic rhythm, Mu Huaiqian was slightly silent: What's wrong with this?
"He came so early, so he was in a hurry to see me." Seeing that the little prince Yuanbao looked at Mu Huaiqian again, Ji Zishan immediately squeezed into the middle of the two of them strongly, and showed off to the little prince Yuanbao proudly, "Brother Yuanbao, aren't you asking knowingly?"
The little prince Yuanbao choked in his throat, then snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left. As soon as he left, only Ji Zishan and Mu Huaiqian were left in the cool room.
Mu Huaiqian stepped forward, held Ji Zishan's snow-white and tender hands, and a gentle smile appeared on the corners of his lips: "You made the prince angry again?" After more than a year of secret conversation, the depth of the two of them was increasing. He knew a little about the Peach Blossom Little Princess's daring to scratch the fifth prince and dared to make ground on His Majesty.
"I want to come out early to see you, but he was there slowly drinking tea and refused to move. As soon as I got angry, I forced him away." Ji Zishan explained casually, and then asked impatiently, "Have you carefully looked at the marriage imperial edict issued by my emperor brother?"
Mu Huaiqian nodded with a smile: "I read it very carefully. I can recite the content above without saying a word. Do you want to listen to it?"
"Who wants to listen to this? I'm asking you, do you think that the seal is very beautiful?" Ji Zishan asked with her beautiful big eyes blinking.
A row of question marks floated out of Mu Huaiqian's eyes: "...Hey?" Shouldn't all the seals on the imperial edict be exactly the same? Why is there a problem that the seals stamped on him look better?
"That was built by myself-" Seeing Mu Huaiqian's face full of confusion, Ji Zishan could only express herself in a long tone.
Mu Huaiqian asked incredible questions: "...you built it?" Will such a serious and upright person ask others to touch his jade seal at will?
"Of course it was built by me. I have to leave a souvenir for the imperial edict for my marriage. After all, it's only once in my life." Ji Zishan said with emotion. The two of them sat down with their hands while talking. "My emperor brother said before that we would wait until I was in the hairpin before we could give us a marriage. But I didn't know that there were too many people prying my corner. My emperor brother was very angry. He went to Beijing after the New Year and agreed with your father. He had already written the imperial edict for his marriage, but he kept it from me, saying that he wanted to be a 14th birthday gift for me."
Mu Huaiqian quickly said, "My corner is very strong and no one can pry it." Over the past year in office, he has indeed dealt with many open and secret proposals, but he refused on the grounds that "the orders of his parents cannot make decisions without authorization."
"I know that your corner of the wall is strong, but if you have something to do, you will be pried by someone else. I'm not happy. Now, everyone knows that you belong to this princess. I think who dares to make a decision on you, hum..." Ji Zishan squinted her eyes and smiled coldly. After laughing a few times, she suddenly remembered that Mu Huaiqian had not answered her question, so she asked again, "Didn't you tell me, is that seal good-looking?"
What can Mu Huaiqian say? He can only say: "It looks pretty good. I'll go back today and take a closer look."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zishan immediately laughed: "You are such a fool!" By the way, with the clear order to grant marriage, the two are nominally unmarried couples. Well, they have been dating for more than a year, and their close physical contact is still at the point of holding hands secretly, without any new progress. Should she praise Mu Huaiqian for being a good young man who restrains and keeps polite?
It was hot in summer. Except for going to the residence of Prince Yuanbao, Ji Zishan stayed in the hall to cool off. Time flies, and soon it was mid-June. On this day, the wife of Duke Ding entered the palace to meet Empress Dowager Hui'an.
At the end of June, it was the birthday of the Grandpa of Dingguo. As her daughter, Empress Dowager Hui'an was unable to leave the palace to congratulate her. Ji Zishan said unshirkablely: "My mother, on the birthday of my grandmother, I will go to pay my birthday to her brother Yuanbao together."
Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled at the beautiful little daughter beside her and replied in a gentle voice: "Okay." After responding to the words of Shui Lingling's youngest daughter, Empress Dowager Hui'an turned her head and said to Duke Dingguo's wife, "It's almost half a year since Brother Zhan and his wife left the capital. This time the old lady celebrated her birthday. Will his wife come back?" The court rules said that fathers and sons or brothers with fourth-rank official positions and above cannot remain as officials in Beijing at the same time. Duke Dingguo's career has a long way to go to the capital. Ning Yuzhan would rather go to other places to work in the capital to experience and accumulate political achievements. When he is transferred back to the capital for work in the future, he will have a bright future waiting for him.
Ning Yuzhan was an official and was not convenient to leave the territory for a long time. Therefore, Empress Dowager Hui'an did not ask Ning Yuzhan, but only asked whether his wife would return to Beijing to celebrate her birthday.
When Empress Dowager Hui'an asked about her eldest daughter-in-law, the expression of Duke Dingguo's wife was stiff for a moment. However, she quickly covered up the displeasure and replied gently: "I said in my letter a while ago that Brother Zhan's daughter-in-law would bring Brother Cheng back."
