Chang'an Ferry

Not long after lunch, the royal family members and ministers brought their wives and children into the palace. The queen went to greet those ladies after a short break. Naturally, the emperor, as the protagonist, could not just sit and show his face. Mu Zhan took Jiang Ning one step ahead.

"Second brother, aren't you coming back?" Mu Dingbeishou hadn't come back for many years in the northwest. Mu Dingyang was released as an official three years ago. The eldest brother is used to not coming back, and Mu Yuying is not used to the second brother not coming back.

"Unless you come back to report on your work and wait for the transfer position when the time comes, you can't leave at will for non-special things on weekdays," Mu Zhan explained, and Mu Yanying nodded to show that she understood.

"By the way, An'an, do you want to go there to play?" Mu Zhan pointed to the waterside pavilion not far away, where many teenagers and girls aged [-] or [-] were standing or sitting talking in twos and threes.

"No, I'm not familiar with them." Mu Yanying shook her head, "I'll sit where Aye is."

"Go!" Mu Zhan nodded.

……

"Look, who is that young master? He looks so good!" A little girl in pink looked at Mu Yanying's side face curiously.

"Where?" Another little girl in green asked curiously.

"Oh, you're slow, he's gone." The girl in pink stomped her feet, "By the way, Miao Miao, you are known as a talented woman. Do you know who that young master is?"

The one named Miao Miao rolled her eyes speechlessly, a talented woman does not mean that she knows everyone, but "I think he should be the third son of General Mu Zhanmu, Mu Yanying"

As soon as I said it, everyone knew that he was the emperor's darling, someone the prince couldn't keep up with, "I didn't expect to be so good-looking! It's a pity, why didn't he come here!"

"It must be beautiful! Mrs. Mu is the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and I heard that General Mu looked good when he was young. If you don't believe me, look at the queen, so can their children not look good?"

"Mr. Yingying is here!" Xiao Lizi put down the bucket in his hand, and greeted attentively, "The fourth prince is in the bedroom."

"Understood!" Mu Yanying walked in without looking back, Xiao Lizi picked up the bucket again and suddenly remembered that the fourth prince was taking a bath in the bedroom.

"Ah!" Because she often came to the Changqing Palace, Mu Yanying opened the door unceremoniously, only to see Li Shengye coming out of the bathroom just now, "Aye, why don't you dress properly!"

Mu Yuying turned around and closed the door in embarrassment, Li Shengye hurriedly straightened his belt, and then stepped forward to open the door, "I didn't know you came in suddenly and I was in my room." Speaking of this, Li Shengye is also a little embarrassed, next time I have to get rid of this habit, in case next time, "You, do you want to come in for a meeting?"

"Yes! I just came to you for a meeting. My parents and aunts and uncles have gone to the main hall." After all, this is the first time Mu Yingying has encountered such a thing, and it feels weird, because Li Shengye doesn't like too many people waiting on her. As for the people from the two or three palaces, Xiao Lizi was mainly responsible for cleaning the house. Xiao Lizi went out again, and the whole bedroom was in a mess. Mu Yuying had no choice but to put the clothes on the bench in the wooden basket by the bathroom door.

"Let me come!" Li Shengye took the others, threw them in at once, took another set of clothes from the cabinet and put them on, "Let's go out and sit"

"Wait" Mu Yanying stepped forward to help Li Shengye straighten his clothes, "Aye, the straps of your inner clothes are not fastened properly, you have to re-tie them or you can see it!" Said while starting.

"Well, I've always done it before." Hearing what Li Shengye said, Mu Yanying gave her a hand, "So it's my fault."

"No." Li Shengye shook his head, "Okay, Ah Ying, loosen it, it's hard to untie it"

Hearing the words, Mu Yanying directly tied a knot, "It's easy to untie! Huh!" After tying the last one, she turned around and went out with her hands in her arms. Li Shengye picked up his coat and followed, "It's really hard to untie!"

In the end, Mu Yanying helped to re-tie it, and then sat by the pond angrily and threw fish food into the water, "If you throw it down, the fish will die." Li Shengye sat on the side, took the bowl and put it aside." I'm sorry, it was just my fault."

"No, I should knock on the door and come in." Speaking of Mu Yiying looking Li Shengye from top to bottom, I really can't see that you have such a hobby!

Li Shengye instantly understood the meaning of this look, and he wanted to find a way to slip through.

"Your Highness, the three princes are here." Li Shengye had never thought that his three elder brothers were so cute, so he rushed out after saying "please."

"Run so fast." Mu Yanying clapped her hands and followed.

"I don't know what gift the fourth son plans to give Father?" The eldest prince was holding a brocade box in his hand, and the other two princes were also holding brocade boxes of similar size.

"Didn't you say that the father doesn't like those flashy things? I just prepared a simple birthday gift," Li Shengye said. Originally, the emperor greeted everyone this time when he celebrated his birthday. Just come and eat, and don't need to send anything. It would be nice if the ministers don't give it away, as the princes don't give it away, it's unreasonable, so today the eldest prince brought his two younger brothers to his fourth brother to see what the other party gave.

"Oh, fourth brother, how about we send the gift to the emperor together later?" The eldest prince said, after all, everyone is going to eat, drink and make daily life after the banquet, so giving gifts would take too much time, and

"I don't know what gift the fourth brother gave, we will all see what presents are given." The third prince said and was about to open the brocade box.

"Ah Ye doesn't have a strong mother's background, and he certainly doesn't have the gold gifts from the three princes." Mu Yanying came out from inside, "I have met the three princes."

"Aying, you're being polite. We don't have such a strong parental background!" The second prince spread his hands. Indeed, when Emperor Li Gu was not enthroned, he was suppressed by several brothers and married the daughters of some small officials, so the three The prince is not a very rich person, but it is much better when compared with Li Shengye. Li Shengye's mother is a dancer, and she is also a dancer who is specially used as a detailed dancer. This shows how poor he is, and no one dares to have more contact with him. , I'm afraid of being labeled as an accomplice of remnants of evil.

"Yes! We are all very poor." The third prince opened the brocade box first, and the second prince and the eldest prince followed suit.

"Eh..." Mu Yanying couldn't look directly at these things, what kind of mess is this?

The three princes were also a little embarrassed, "We did this by ourselves. We originally wanted to engrave our family, but in the end it was a bit unsatisfactory."

Mu Yanying looked carefully, and finally saw a few human faces carved on the wood, which were very abstract. Needless to say, the second prince carved it. He probably lost his temper halfway through the carving, and a lot of faces fell on it. Yinzi, the third prince's is slightly engraved with a human head, but it is almost as abstract as the first prince's. Staring at Li Shengye with several princes, are you?

Li Shengye didn't have much contact with the three princes these days. He didn't know what they were giving, but he also knew the emperor's temperament. He gave Xiao Li a wink, and the latter quickly came up with the box. When he opened it, there was a small dagger inside. "I heard that the owner of the iron shop in the north of the city was very filial to his father, so I went to their house to buy a dagger to support the business..."

"It just so happens that my uncle can use this dagger to carve these three woodcarvings when he has nothing to do." Mu Yanying applauded, feeling that the four of them came here through consultation!

"Hey!" The eldest prince grinned, "What a coincidence, shall we still send it to Father?"

"Give it away, why not give it away?" The second prince cried when he thought of the days when he was patiently nesting in the house and carving wood carvings, and there was a banquet at night, can he still exchange it?

"Yes! It's our intention after all." The third prince nodded, and glanced at his own wood carvings. Generally speaking, his own is not the ugliest one.

The emperor looked at these four gifts and was speechless, but he couldn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he said, "I have a heart." He took out four red envelopes from his sleeve, "This is a gift in return." I always felt that I had returned too many gifts, which was a bit of a loss.

"Thank you, father." The four stepped forward to receive the red envelope into their hands, and the emperor felt a little headache when he saw the gift again, "Go and play! Especially you three older ones, go and see if there is any girl you like. Tell me if you have, your marriage should also be put on the agenda."

Glancing at Li Shengye, "Fourth brother, don't worry about waiting until you are as old as your elder brother."

"Yes" Li Shengye nodded.

"Father, I don't, you agreed to let me go to the northwest with General Mu this time, and we'll talk about it after the marriage." The eldest prince Li Shengyu was afraid that the emperor would forget about it.

"Understood, go, just to let you see and not want you to get married right away." The emperor glared at him, "Okay, go, don't stick around here"

"Yes" the four hurried out.

"An'an, let's go too." The emperor thought that Mu Yingying usually stayed in the palace and those people of the same age seldom had contact with such old people, so it was time to get to know more people.

"Yeah." Mu Yanying quickly caught up with Li Shengye, "Why didn't you join the three princes?"

"They are going to see the person they like, why am I going to join in the fun?" Li Shengye folded his hands and tilted his head to look at Mu Yanying. "What about you? Are you going?"

Mu Yanying shook her head, but the emperor had sent a message to get to know more people of the same age, "But my uncle asked me to go, but I don't want to go, why don't we find a place to sit far away"

"Well..." When the two arrived, the three princes had already mingled with a group of princes. When they saw Li Shengye and Mu Yanying from a distance, they called them over. Everyone looked over. The fourth prince often saw it, but who was the prince next to him? ?Oh, by the way, His Royal Highness called him Mu Yanying, could it be that this is the third son of General Mu, he looks so good-looking too!It's almost like a fairy in the sky.

"Tell me, if Yan Ying grows up in the future, I'm afraid it will harm many girls." The eldest prince said in a low voice.

The second prince dismissively said, "Not necessarily, in two years, you will have acne on your face, maybe it will be ruined."

Hearing this, the First Prince and the Third Prince looked at the pits on Li Shengqi's face thoughtfully, he must be feeling sour!The second prince's face became hot, "What are you looking at? Is there anything to see?"

The voice was quite loud, and everyone present looked at him with some embarrassment, "Look what I'm doing, there's a nice one over there."

"..." Mu Yanying, I didn't do anything.

Li Shengjing tugged at Li Shengqi's sleeve, and Li Shengqi realized the ambiguity in what he said, and strode up to Mu Yanying, "I'm not talking about you! I..., do you want to go over, we're talking about something interesting !"

"Ah... um, okay!" Even though Mu Yanying was favored by the emperor, he couldn't show Li Shengqi's face in front of so many people. Li Shengye glanced around and stood in front of Mu Yanying.

"That person is too much, blocking me from seeing people!" Xiao Ruixue stomped her feet.

"That person is the Fourth Prince," Miao Miao said.

Xiao Ruixue looked unhappy, "So what about the fourth prince, it's not good to stand in the way, right? Tian Tian"

"Ah?" Tian Tian was taken aback for a moment, "Yes! That little Mr. Mu is so pretty!"

"Stupid" Miao Miao pinched her face.

"Okay, where did we talk just now, continue." The second prince brought Mu Yanying over, the third prince winked at him frantically, but the second prince couldn't react, "What's wrong with your eyes, third child? By the way, we said Huamanlou, right! Huamanlou, he..."

"Not so much!" Li Shengye interjected, "Yuying, let's sit over there." He pointed to the pavilion not far away, where no one happened to be there.

"What? The one His Royal Highness just said?" Mu Yanying was curious.

Now Li Shengqi has already realized that he feels that he is looking for death. If Mu Yanying accidentally says it out and his father finds out, he is afraid that his leg will be broken. "It's just a flower selling building. It went bankrupt. "

"Is it?"

"Yes." The eldest prince and the second prince nodded, "Go and sit over there, Feng Xiao"

Li Shengye pulled Mu Yanying and walked there. The third prince Li Shengjing whispered to Li Shengqi, "Mu Ying is only 14 years old, you'd better hope that he won't tell his father out of curiosity."

In this way, Li Shengqi felt that not only was he about to have his leg broken, "You didn't say it earlier." After thinking about it guiltyly, Mu Yanying should not be that kind of boring person.

I didn't say it earlier, my eyes were about to cramp, and Li Shengjing was speechless.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this! Let's talk about other things." The eldest prince changed the subject, "Jing Yue, are you confident that you will be tested next year?"
