Nongmen Shenjue

Princess Fuhui is the most honorable person in the mansion, so she should live in the main courtyard, but she has been ill for a long time and impatiently listened to the people coming and going, so she chose a large courtyard in the east.Fu Ma and her have a very deep relationship and have always lived together. It was because of her age and poor health in the past few years, and the eldest princess's condition worsened, so the two separated.

As for Princess Fuhui, Mu Qingyan had heard her name for a long time, and when she really wanted to meet her, she was still a little nervous.

Fu Jingchun led the way, and said comfortingly: "Although my mother has been ill for a long time, she has a gentle temperament, and the younger generation in the family are not afraid of her."

Mu Qingyan smiled.

Generally speaking, royal family and nobles like the princess are prone to be arrogant and indulgent, and they are chronically ill for a long time, so it is even more difficult to be in a smooth mood, but it is very rare to be able to maintain a peaceful and stable state of mind.Aside from other things, at least the eldest princess is well-mannered and easy to deal with.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I heard the voices of women and children inside.

There were two servant girls guarding the gate of the courtyard, sitting on the porch and talking. When they saw the two coming, they hurriedly saluted and went to report again.

"Eldest son, the princess invites eldest son and Mu Gongzi to enter."

There is a pomegranate tree in the yard, and many fresh flowers and plants are placed there. Under the shade of the tree, there is a low couch. A woman in luxurious clothes and with a peaceful look leans on the high pillow, with a thin blanket on her lap.There was a small table and a small stove next to it. A pretty maid brought hot water to make tea. After the tea was ready, she saluted and then left.

The women and children in the courtyard earlier also left through a side door.

"Mother, this is Fenglin Mu Shenduan, Mu Qingyan, whom I mentioned to you earlier." Fu Jingchun saluted, then took two steps closer and said.

"Mu Qingyan has met the Eldest Princess, the Eldest Princess Jin An." Mu Qingyan pulled up his clothes and knelt down to salute. In conclusion, the Eldest Princess Fuhui was considered his elder, and it was nothing to kneel down.

"Get up quickly, there's no need to be formal." Princess Fuhui smiled, and waved Fu Jingchun to move the stool for him.

"Mr. Mu, just sit down. Mother has spoken, so you don't have to be nervous." Fu Jingchun sat at the end of the low couch. The mother and son looked very close, which showed that their family members were in harmony and did not strictly abide by the rules in private.

Mu Qingyan thanked him and sat down.

At this time, he had already looked at Princess Fuhui.The eldest princess is about 45 years old, and the noble family is good at maintenance, but the eldest princess is sick all the year round, with deep wrinkles around her eyes, poor complexion, and a lot of gray hair on her temples.Hearing her voice just now, her breath was lacking, but she was very peaceful, her brows and eyes were quite kind.

The eldest princess had nothing to hide, she looked at his face carefully, and said with emotion: "Like, indeed, there are five or six points of similarity between the eyebrows and eyes. I can't blame Xiu Chi for recognizing it at a glance."

Mu Qingyan's eyes flashed, although he said nothing, he understood the meaning of these words very well.

The other party dismissed everyone as soon as they met, and there were only three of them in the courtyard. It seemed that they really wanted to be honest.

Seeing that his face was calm and calm, the eldest princess couldn't help but smiled and said: "You are so young, you can hold your breath. However, it seems that you are not ignorant of the Yan family, why didn't you come to see me earlier? You can't believe me ?"

Mu Qingyan was silent for a moment, and said: "I didn't know my background earlier. The Mu family raised me, and they only said that I was adopted. Later, I noticed some clues. I only knew about the origin of the Yan family from my elder brother Mu Lin last year. thing."

"I see." The eldest princess nodded and sighed.

Of course, they also investigated the matter of the Mu family.

"You and your father look very similar. Xiu Chi has never met your father, only a portrait, but when he saw you, he quickly recognized him..." Seeing his puzzled eyes, the eldest princess suddenly laughed and said : "Look at my memory, Xiu Chi is not the name now, what is it called?"

Fu Jingchun on the side took the words: "Rong Du."

"Rong Du?!" Mu Qingyan couldn't hide his surprise, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem so difficult to accept.

"Rong Du's identity is to hide from others' eyes. His real name is Yan Xiuchi. Although he is one year older than you, he is your nephew..." Fu Jingchun laughed, obviously thinking that his own seniority is also very low. .

The eldest princess also joked: "Indeed, when you come to Jingchun, you should also call Xiaoqing 'Little Uncle'."

Fu Jingchun was almost ten years older than Mu Qingyan, so he couldn't help being embarrassed at the moment.

Mu Qingyan didn't show anything unusual, and changed his voice: "Yao Zhan is... the third brother?"

"Exactly." Fu Jingchun nodded.

"Who was it that set up an ambush to kill the Yan family?" Mu Qingyan asked again.

Hearing the words, the eldest princess' eyebrows darkened, and her kind face showed a bit of sternness: "Concubine Wen!"

"It's her?" Mu Qingyan was surprised again.Concubine Wen is the Queen Mother of Duanjun County, one of the four concubines, and she has the ambition and strength, but after the death of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yan family retreated, so how could it be worthwhile to kill them all?

Fu Jingchun said: "I'm afraid it will involve my grandmother."

The specific details are not clear for the time being, but it is clearly confirmed that it is the ruthless hand of Concubine Wen.

The eldest princess looked a little tired, but she still held her spirits up and said, "I saw you today because I was afraid that time would run out and I would never see you again. Jing Chun said that you might be investigating the affairs of Yan's house. I am not at ease. You are still young. Another person, don’t worry about this matter, there are your third brother and others. Your third brother also means the same, otherwise I would have gone to see you a long time ago.”

Mu Qingyan knew it was a good intention, but there was Wen Jixue beside him, even though he didn't care about Yan's family, there was Xue's family.

"I won't act rashly." Mu Qingyan didn't respond.

The eldest princess was not too disappointed: "The situation is getting more and more chaotic. I don't allow the children in the family to be troublesome. If you stay in Beijing, you should keep a low profile and find Jingchun if you have anything to do. Only Jingchun is at home for your affairs. know."

"Thank you, princess."

"What kind of princess, you should call me cousin!" As she said that, the eldest princess laughed herself: "But I took advantage of it. With a cousin like you, I look younger."

"Cousin is not old." Even though it was a bit awkward, Mu Qingyan still called her by that name, which could make the other party happy.As the eldest princess herself said, I'm afraid time is running out.Not to mention her illness, after all these years, her body has been completely exhausted, and she already looks like she is exhausted.

The eldest princess had limited energy, and she couldn't hold on for a while. Fu Jingchun served her a bowl of medicine, sent her back to the dormitory and fell asleep.

At noon, Fu Jingchun held a banquet in the garden without anyone else.

During the banquet, wine was prepared, Fu Jingchun poured it for him, and suddenly asked: "You are old enough to get married, Chen Xi is only one year older than you, and he will be a father next year."

"No hurry, we'll talk about it in two years." Mu Qingyan was mentally prepared for "forced marriage". After all, he had reached the marriageable age, and there was no movement for a long time, and people would always ask about it.

"It's good. The emperor's time is short. In the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will clear up the case of the Yan family. Then we can talk about marriage for you."

After the banquet, Mu Qingyan took his leave.

Fu Jingchun personally sent him to the gate, watching the carriage go away, his brows were slightly frowned.

Fu Jingchun had never met Wen Jixue, but he had heard a lot from Chen Xi. Even though Chen Xi didn't say anything that he shouldn't say, Fu Jingchun's occasional expressions and words, as well as the inseparability of the two, made Fu Jingchun There is a faint association.

I hope I think too much.

Back in the small courtyard, I saw a piece of writing left by Wen Jixue with an address on it.It turned out that Wen Jixue went to see the house today, and had already bought a suitable one, so he took Gao Tian to decorate it first.

Mu Qingyan followed the address to find it. It was a two-entry house with a small garden, a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.The house is not considered old, it has been cleaned, and the furniture and furnishings are almost ready at this moment, and you can move in only after buying bedding and other things.

"How about taking a look?" Wen Jixue was coming from the garden: "This house has not been lived in for a year, and the flowers and plants in the garden are all deserted. I hired a gardener to clean it up again. Gao Tian went to buy bedding, pillows and other things , the things in the kitchen will be delivered in a while, and I can live in tonight."

"That's fine, I'll let someone tell Chen Shiliu to invite him to housewarming wine tomorrow." Mu Qingyan didn't say anything about Wen Jixue's resolute behavior, but cooperated.

After waiting for the people who installed the utensils and cleaned the house to leave, he talked about going to the Eldest Princess' Mansion.

Going this trip is just to point out the relationship.

To be honest, the two of them were cousins ​​at first, and they had never gotten along with each other, so their relationship was strange.The eldest princess and Fu Jingchun treated him kindly because he was from the Yan family.Listening to the way they mentioned Rongdu, Yao Zhan and Rongdu had contacted them a long time ago, and they were quite close.

"Concubine Wen?" Wen Jixue was also surprised when she heard that it was Concubine Wen who set up an ambush against the Yan family: "I thought it was Concubine Hui."

After all, Concubine Hui's mother and son are the most powerful inside and outside the palace.

The same is true for Mu Qingyan: "Since it was the eldest princess who said it, there should be nothing wrong with it. The incident in Feixian Town earlier only punished Duan County King, and did not involve Concubine Wen in the palace. However, Concubine Wen's family suffered a setback. It's bad. It's hard to talk about the Yan family's affairs now, we can only wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne before looking for another chance."

"I plan to contact Prince Su." Wen Jixue said.

"You go by yourself?"

"No." Although Wen Jixue kept a low profile in the capital, that was for ordinary people, and the catcher Si Ke kept staring at him.If he knew that he was from the Xue family, would the God Detective Division allow him to enter and leave the capital at will?

Furthermore, he wanted to reverse the case for the Xue family, but he didn't intend to be loyal to the country any longer.

When he was young, influenced by his grandfather and father, he dreamed of inheriting the ambitions of his ancestors in the future, becoming a general and guarding the border for the country.But at the moment when the family was destroyed, his dream was shattered, everything changed, and he could never regain his childhood ambition.

What's more, what's the use of "Xue Ji" being alive?

Does Xindi dare to use him?Is it possible to give him a title and raise him in the capital for a lifetime?

It would be better to be "Xue Ji" and die that year.

"Tell me, what will the king of Xianjun do?" Wen Jixue changed the subject: "I have added more people to watch the mansion of Xianjun, calm on the surface, but frequent small movements in private. What kind of plan will 'Gongsun Liang' give him to break the situation? Woolen cloth?"

"In my opinion, the key lies in Concubine Hui in the palace. With so many princes, even if others are not strong, but they restrict each other, the king of Xian County dare not mess around. If you can't knock down your opponent, you can only grab more chips, but Everyone knows that no matter how many stakes there are, it is far less than a word from the emperor. The emperor has not established a crown prince, is it because he is really unwilling to delegate power, or...he has a will?"

This is his idea.

If the emperor is not sick and confused, he has to keep a hand just in case, otherwise the emperor is really dead, but the prince is not established, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

"Very likely. It's a pity that the palace is heavily guarded, and there are many people from the God Detective Department, who can't easily get in." Not to mention searching for things in the palace.

but……

"You can let the news out, and someone will do it."
