Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

Let’s not mention Shangguan Jingning’s visit to her aunt for the moment. After Li Xuyang and the four little babies returned to Prince Duan's Mansion, Li Mohan and Xiao Yunyan were already waiting there.

Originally they could come back directly from space. However, because Shangguan Jingning and Nanny Qi were traveling together, it was not convenient to teleport through space.

They don't even fly with swords. Instead, adults are riding horses and galloping all the way. The little babies were jolting along in the carriage. It took two days to return to the palace.

Although they were a little tired, the little ones were very interested in sitting in the carriage and watching the scenery along the way and feeling the life of the people along the way.

Li Mohan and Xiao Yunyan saw that the four little babies seemed to have grown a lot taller during the time they left. Hearing the children happily throwing themselves into their arms and calling them "father, queen, mother and concubine", one could tell that this outing was a very happy one.

Because they enter the space every day, Xiao Yunyan, Li Mohan and the emperor all know the progress of the matter during the days they are out, and there is no need to enter the palace to report the progress of the matter to the emperor.

Li Mohan asked them to wash up and rest first, and then discuss together at night how to find Qin Zheng next.

Xi Le and Ru Yi said: "Mother, after our good friend Shangguan Jingning came to the capital with us, we invited Shangguan Jingning to come to the prince's palace as a guest and wanted to keep her in the prince's palace.

However, Shangguan Jingning obeyed her mother's orders and went to the residence of Lady Li, a fourth-grade civil servant, to visit her aunt, Mrs. Li. I don’t know if Mrs. Li can let Shangguan Jingning live in the mansion.

If Shangguan Jingning has nowhere to live. We would like to invite Shangguan Jingning to stay at the Prince's Mansion. Ask the mother-in-law for permission. "

Xiao Yunyan smiled at her two precious daughters and said, "You can make your own decisions when you invite your friends to your home. Whatever is missing, let the housekeeper arrange it."

Xi Le and Ru Yi were very happy. They hoped that Sister Shangguan could live in the Prince's Mansion. They all liked that pretty young lady who made them happy. "

Later, Shangguan Jingning came to Li Mansion. After handing the greeting card to the concierge, the concierge asked her and Nanny Qi to wait at the door instead of letting her go directly to the house.

Then the concierge sent someone to deliver a greeting card to the mansion. After about two sticks of incense, the concierge slowly came back. Tell Shangguan Jingning: "Miss Shangguan, the old lady has been in poor health in recent days and has been infected with wind and cold. She is currently recuperating and it is not suitable to see guests. She is also afraid that she will get sick. So the old lady asks the lady to come back in a few days. See you.”

Shangguan Jingning remained calm and politely asked the concierge to convey her concern for her aunt, asked her to take a good rest, and said she would visit again in a few days.

The concierge agreed calmly.

Shangguan Jingning did not blame the concierge. The concierge's attitude is that of the owner. She understood in her heart that her aunt had been right in the past. Mother's greetings and inquiries were not sincere.

It was because my father had repeatedly made military exploits at the border and was reused by the imperial court. The family is also living a very prosperous life.

Shangguan Mansion often has border specialties, furs and other items sent by my father.

Because my mother is filial, she often gives these good things from the border to my aunt.

Because there are very few personnel exchanges between the two sides, just letters and servants sending things. My aunt showed great concern for my mother in her letters, so my mother would prepare enough seasonal gifts and send them over every year.

But my mother would never have thought that my aunt's concern for her family in letters was only superficial.

What my aunt really cares about is how much benefit her father can bring to their family every year? Even though his father has no meritorious service now, he is still responsible for border trade and caravan exchanges.

In addition to various specialties at the border, such as furs, the caravans of the Li family running business at the border will be taken care of by their father, so a few kind words from the Li family can bring a lot of benefits to their family.

Now, she sent a greeting card and came to Li's Mansion to meet her aunt. The mother's letter has stated that she will live in the capital for a long time, and perhaps by chance, she will find her husband's family in the capital. I hope my aunt will help me introduce good families.

Shangguan Jingning could even understand that when her aunt read the letter saying that she, who had a bad reputation, wanted to live in the Li Mansion permanently and had to find her husband's family in the capital, she was naturally unwilling.

The Li family has many girls, including six sisters. The two legitimate children and the four concubine children are now of marriageable age, so they are busy every day, always seeing each other. Mrs. Li hopes that the granddaughters in the mansion can find satisfactory husbands.

But Shangguan Jingning, a young girl who was just active, also came to join in the fun. Wouldn't that put all the daughters in their family down? General Shangguan is a second-rank general, and his status in the court is much higher than that of Lord Li, a fourth-rank civil servant in the Ministry of Rites.

General Shangguan was originally supposed to live in the capital. But he stays at the border all year round and rarely goes home. Therefore, he asked the emperor to grant his mansion near his daughter-in-law's natal home. So the residence of General Shangguan was built in Qianzhou Mansion.

With such a family background, if Miss Shangguan appears in the capital, she will immediately become the focus of attention of many noble children.

There are only a handful of officials above the second rank in the imperial court. Although Shangguan Jingning has a bad reputation in Qianzhou Prefecture, she is very beautiful and has a very lovable personality.

In the small place of Qianzhou Prefecture, he might not be welcomed by others. But in the capital, it may be very popular.

After all, many of the noble ladies in the capital are young ladies from military generals' families. His behavior is no different from that of Shangguan Jingning. There are also civil servants and ladies from noble families, and some also like to go out in men's clothing. In a small place, it is considered unique, but in the capital, it is not strange.

There are some young masters from military generals' families, even young generals of the fifth and sixth levels, who are very willing to marry a woman from a good family like Shangguan Jingning. With the support of their father-in-law, their future career path to promotion will be smoother.

Because Mrs. Li had such concerns, she did not agree to see Shangguan Jingning immediately. He just wanted her to know that the Li Mansion did not want her to live in the house permanently. Let Shangguan Jingning stop this thought on her own.

But she couldn't tell her directly for fear of offending her niece. They are even more afraid that when the Li family does business at the border in the future, they will not be cared for by their nephew and son-in-law, General Shangguan.

And she couldn't bear to part with the large number of precious ceremonial gifts that her niece paid filial piety throughout the year. Therefore, she used the excuse that she was infected with the cold and was afraid that Shangguan Jingning would be infected if she passed away.

Although such an excuse is far-fetched, it will not leave the niece with anything to blame.

Shangguan Jingning did not take this matter to heart, but happily rode towards Prince Duanjing's mansion.

When she arrived near Prince Duanjing's palace, which was far away from the palace gate, she saw a woman walking towards her quickly.

The mother-in-law said to Shangguan Jingning with a smile on her face: "You are Miss Shangguan, right? The two little princesses in the palace sent their servants here to look out. I told the servants that if they see you, they will come and invite you into the house immediately. .

The two little princesses said that they have chosen several courtyards. I don’t know which courtyard Miss Shangguan likes. They ask you to go in quickly and choose the furniture after choosing the courtyard. "

Shangguan Jingning found it funny that these two little sisters were so accurate. She really wanted to go back to Prince Duanjing's palace to make trouble.

The old lady guided the way very enthusiastically. Let Shangguan Jingning and Nanny Qin enter the door of Prince Duanjing's mansion together. The young man pulled the chariot, and asked Miss Shangguan to get on the chariot. Walk towards the Wujin courtyard.

That's where the two little princesses live. Except that they each have one main courtyard, one main courtyard, six cross-courtyards, and six side courtyards.

It's just that the main courtyard is a little far away from where the two princesses live. It's on the West Road, separated from the two princesses by a large garden.

The main courtyard is large, with about five main rooms and two side rooms. There are about five inverted seats, each with two wing rooms. There are three wing rooms in the east and west.

If you want to live closer to the little princesses, you can also choose to live in the two cross-courtyards between the two little princesses' courtyards, or in the two side courtyards.

These four courtyards are not small, they are all small courtyards. There are three main rooms, three side rooms, and three wing rooms on the left and right.

It is enough for the master and servant to live together and send a few maids and women to serve them.

After Shangguan Jingning entered the mansion, she got on the chariot and listened to her mother-in-law introduce to her the facilities and furnishings of several courtyards.

She thought to herself that she was not particular about the size of her yard. It's convenient to live and it would be nice to be close to the two little princesses.

She is just a guest here and doesn't need to be that troublesome. As for what furniture to choose, that’s even more unnecessary. She thought that she was not a picky and refined person. The original furnishings in the palace were very good and there was no need to change them.

It's time to enter the courtyard and hall for the second time. I happened to see Li Xuyang practicing shooting in the martial arts field. She suddenly became interested and wanted to get off the train and learn shooting from Li Xuyang.

Li Xuyang waved to him vigorously when he saw the pretty figure on the chariot far away. He also greeted Shangguan Jingning with a smile.

The mother-in-law on the side smiled and reminded her warmly: "Miss Shangguan: The two little princesses are still waiting for you in the mansion.

Why don't you go say hello to the two little princesses first, then choose the yard and assign the slaves what furniture and furnishings to replace. Then it's not too late for you to enter the courtyard again and learn shooting with Mr. Li. "
