III Jiangshan

In the past month, Fang Huai, the family order of Prince Ning's mansion, has worried more than before.

It's just because an extraordinary person lives in the other courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.

Fang Huai had heard about this master before, but it wasn't until Fang Huai saw him that he lived in the most ornately furnished guest room in the other courtyard, that he knew what a "hundred hundred" was. Seeing is better than smelling."

It is said that this year is only 15 years old.

It was hard for Fang Huai to believe that a 15-year-old boy could have such a demeanor.

What was it like when I was 15 years old?Fang Huai really couldn't remember.

In short, this master is, by any measure, an extraordinary character.

Also, if you are waiting for idlers, Da Wei must be a fifteen or sixteen-year-old lady, why does His Majesty value this?The kind who still never leave, wishing to come here every day?It doesn't seem like someone who has passed the age of [-], but it looks like the beginning of youthful feelings.

As someone who has served in front of nobles for many years, Fang Huai has always been good at controlling his mouth and his head.

There are so many hidden things in the Tian family, and only if you take care of it with your own head and don't think about irrelevant things, can you not say things that shouldn't be said in your sleep as a dream.

Fang Huai has been the family order of King Ning's mansion for many years, and he is highly regarded by King Ning and Princess Ning because he is well versed in these principles.Do more, talk less, is his secret.

Therefore, Fang Huai would never think too much about the fact that the emperor doted on Miss Mo but still did not welcome Miss Mo into the palace after nearly a month, whether it was the empress dowager who was obstructing it or something of.He only knows how to manage his affairs in his position. As the family order of Prince Ning's mansion, he manages the affairs of the mansion well, serves the two masters well, and on top of that, serves the hospitable Miss Mo. That's enough.

Because of these reasons, Fang Huai rushed to mention the priority whenever there was a matter involving Mochi, and sometimes even delayed the non-urgent matters of King Ning and Princess Wang.Because he knew that serving Mochi well was more important than serving the emperor well.Ning Wang and his wife would never blame him for delaying the affairs of the mansion because of Mochi's affairs, but would only appreciate his winking and knowing the urgency.

Because of this, when Fang Huai received the news that "Miss Mo has an invitation", Fang Huai didn't care about dealing with the two people whose identities had just been found out, and still ordered the guards in the mansion to throw them back to the Hori room to be detained separately. He went straight to Mochi's room without touching the ground.

"I'm bothering Mr. Fang again." Mochi bowed and said politely.

How dare Fang Huai accept her gift?Quickly cupping his fists in return, he respectfully said: "Young lady, I'm sorry! What's the matter, but please tell me!"

Mochi smiled slightly, and stopped being polite, and said: "I want to go out, may I be allowed by your residence?"

Fang Huai was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly apologized with a smile: "Miss, you are joking! You are a distinguished guest of the house, you are free to come and go, how dare I stop you?"

Mochi smiled, calmly: "Mr. Fang, don't you need to ask your master for instructions?"

She has a beautiful appearance and a calm demeanor, which makes people forget the vulgarity.Fang Huai was slightly distracted, then shook his hand and said: "The master has never restrained the girl! Please don't get me wrong."

"That's very good," Mochi smiled lightly, "I'm only going out for half a day, and I will return before you, sir, please rest assured."

Fang Huai was stared at by her with a smile, and suddenly woke up, realizing what she said, and hurriedly said: "It's chaotic outside, since the girl wants to go out, let me send a few guards to accompany you."

But Mo Chi declined and said, "Under the rule of the Holy Son of Heaven, how can there be chaos? Mr. Fang is too worried."

After all, leave calmly.

Fang Huai, on the other hand, choked on her last sentence and had nothing to say.

This Miss Mo is the emperor's favorite woman, so he can't say any more "chaotic and dangerous" rebellious words, right?

About half an hour after Mochi left, Fang Huai stopped suddenly when he was ordering his subordinates to do something.

He also didn't care how the servants under him looked at each other when he heard his incoherent instructions, so he summoned more than a dozen powerful guards in the mansion, and ordered them to go out in disguise immediately to find the trace of Mochi.He himself hastily pulled a horse, took two followers, and went straight to Prince Ning's mansion.

This is a later story.

Let's talk about the ink pool.

When I woke up, the laurel tree towering over the wall in the dream still lingered, and the impression tended to get deeper.She sat there for a quarter of an hour. The long period of stagnation did not bring her closer to the real world. Instead, the name of a street was engraved in her mind more deeply, and it was difficult to forget it.

Mochi then realized that that street might be the key to unraveling the strange dreams that had troubled her recently.

Is that where she lived in her previous life?

A voice in her heart told her: Go to that street and alley to take a look, maybe you can see that tall laurel tree.

That laurel tree is an extremely important existence, or, the bond between her and Yuan Youqi in her previous life can be found on that laurel tree.

Thinking of this, Mochi couldn't sit still anymore.

How many people will take the things of the past life and present life seriously?And as it involves privacy, Mo Chi will never discuss it with irrelevant people.That's why she asked Fang Huai to ask her.

She lives in King Ning's other courtyard, and everyone from King Ning and his wife to those who serve her respectfully respect her.She knew that, at least on the surface, they would never follow her, let alone restrict her freedom.

However, out of etiquette, she still needs to report to Ning Wangfu's family order, otherwise she disappeared without a trace, wouldn't innocent people be held accountable?

After leaving the gate of the other courtyard, there was already a carriage waiting outside from Prince Ning's mansion, it was indeed arranged by the family order.At that time, the family order was not aware of the abnormality.

Mochi couldn't help but be moved by the care and thoughtfulness of the house order——

The other courtyard is still nearly ten miles away from the gate of the capital, and if she can't hire a carriage for a while, some of them will leave.

Mo Chi boarded the car without hesitation.

The carriage rumbled and finally stopped inside the city gate. The coachman did not ask where Mochi was going with a wink, but respectfully said that he would wait here.

Mochi thanked him and left.

This is the south gate of the capital. Standing at the end of the straight road, looking at the bustling pedestrians on the street and the busy shops on both sides of the street, Mochi suddenly feels a world away.

Since she was taken away from Liyin Pavilion, more than [-] days have passed, and the people, scenery, and things are as before, but the illusion of "a day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world" flashed through her mind.And in the bottom of her heart, a vague existence occurred frequently, reminding her: the feeling of another world may not be an illusion.

Most of her mind was looking for old places, and a small part of her mind was paying attention to whether there was anyone suspected of being in the Liyin Pavilion among the pedestrians around her.

At least for now, before she finds out, she doesn't want to have anything to do with the people in Liyin Pavilion.

But what she didn't expect was that Liyin Pavilion was not the only one paying attention to her.From the moment she stepped off the carriage, she was already being watched.

Although Mochi has been in Beijing for some years, but the capital is quite big and there are countless streets, where can I find such a tree whose existence is not yet known?

She suddenly felt that she seemed to be possessed by a demon, and because of the illusory phantom in her dream, she began to look for it seriously, fortunately she was still sensible in reading!

Standing blankly at the corner of the street, Mochi was helpless for a moment, his face turned pale, and he soon settled down: there is no cause and effect without a reason in the world, once it comes, it will be at ease!

So she stopped worrying about the streets and alleys, and walked on foot.Since the matter itself has surpassed rational cognition, then simply let it go to the feeling.Everything in the world is in harmony with the Tao, and there is God's will in the dark.

His mind was shaken suddenly, and Mochi seemed to realize something.She let herself walk along with that feeling, and a sentence kept flashing in her mind.

Some of these paragraphs and sentences are famous quotes from Laozi, Zhuangzi and Liezi that she has read, and some are things she has never seen before.And the style and atmosphere of that sentence, and the profound meaning revealed, all point to the Taoist school.

Mochi frowned while walking——

Could it be that she was named Kun Dao in her previous life?

Walking like this, a flash in her mind at the same time, Mochi seems to have fallen into a very quiet situation, the surrounding pedestrians and scenery, to her, all turned into nothingness.And her feet became more confident, and her perception of herself became more and more certain.

Countless faces passed by her, all of which were ignored by her; while other faces gradually became clear and distinct in her mind, which could not be erased.

In the ink pool, Yuan Youqi's face was captured.

That face did not reveal the mature, stable and unassuming imperial look, but the face of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.There was not a single trace of white hair on the girl's sideburns.

Like a heavy hammer, suddenly hitting the heart, Mo Chihuo stopped in her tracks, and some strange scenes were stuffed into her mind like fragments.She wanted to put them together and see clearly, but found that even if she tried just a little bit, her head hurt badly.

She stood there, her face even paler.After several failed attempts, Mochi gave up.

She breathed slowly and lost her normal rhythm, her eyes gradually became clear, and before her eyes, she returned to reality.

Mochi looked closely, and was surprised to find that in the distance, within the high wall somewhere, a laurel tree stood tall, higher than the blue brick glazed tiles, and two of its thick branches were still on top of the glazed tiles , extending to the streets and alleys outside the wall.

Mochi couldn't hold back his footsteps, and rushed over uncontrollably——

It was the back wall of a certain mansion, and the place inside the wall should be the back garden of the family.

Mochi thought this way, the octagonal pavilion, the wooden table, the small red clay stove, the bronze Choshi... all the objects that had appeared in the dream all rushed up.

Mochi raised his face, squinted his eyes slightly, and stared at the tall branches of the laurel tree just above his head.

The figure of a young girl appeared in her imagination at the same time.

That girl was dressed in men's clothes, but she was more mischievous than ordinary boys.Taking advantage of the dim twilight, she climbed up the high wall three times and two times, and then pulled two thick branches hanging on the top of the wall, and turned into the high blue brick wall covered with glazed tiles.

Mochi's lips moved slightly, no one heard it, even she didn't realize it, she mumbled the two words unconsciously——

"Chen... Yao..."

The author has something to say: Chen Yao, the words Xiao Gu once gave to Xiao Yuan.
