"There really are people who don't look toward their mother's family." Hearing Mu Hanzhang's words, Jing Shao only felt warmth in his heart and couldn't help but open his mouth to tease again.
Mu Hanzhang pulled her hand back and turned her head to look out the window ignoring him.
Jing Shao laughed, simply lay down on the wide carriage and sighed, "I always do things without thinking, Junqing must remind me more in the future, or else I'll lose this head sooner or later playing with myself."
Mu Hanzhang was silent for a long time, and when Jing Shao thought that he wouldn't speak again, he heard him answer softly. Thus, Jing Shao then wriggled like a big snake and moved to someone else's side, stretching his arm to encircle that strong narrow waist, and rubbed his face against it, "Junqing, tell me about the situation of the Marquis' residence, so that I can have a response."
Being stiffened by the large head behind him rubbing against his spine, Mu Hanzhang could only turn around and tear the person stuck to his body down, so Jing Shao consciously let go of his hand and put his head on someone's lap in a smooth manner.
"...... "Looking down at the guy with a deserving face, Mu Hanzhang only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The marquis house has a large population, Mu Hanzhang's father is the current Marquis of Bei Wei, because the old lady is still alive, there is no separation of the family, several uncles also live in the marquis house. They don't have many heirs in this house, Mrs. Bei Wei Marquis has a pair of children, then he is the concubine son, the other concubines don't have heirs.
"Then your father is quite devoted." Jing Shao tilted his head to look at him, just enough to see the graceful line of his chin and the delicate knot of his throat sliding up and down.
"Perhaps ......" on this topic Mu Hanzhang does not want to say more, "the family population is complex, if you are not happy to deal with, just ignore it." These two days he found that Jing Shao for receiving people, especially these powerful and noble people are not good at bending, can not help but explain two sentences again.
He is a prince, who can still bully him? Jing Shao wanted to laugh at him for being overly anxious, but his words turned into, "I know."
Not long after the Marquis of Northern Wei arrived, the two organized their lapels, walking out together. Mu Hanzhang struggled to be Jing Shao clenched hand, but can not compete with him, and can not have a big action, only by him.
"I, Mu Jin, with all the people of Marquis Bei Wei, welcome Your Highness, Your Highness!" Bei Wei Marquis Mu Jin stood at the front, leading the crowd to kneel down and bow.
Originally returned to the door is that the new aunt should pay a visit to the father-in-law and mother-in-law, but if it is a member of the royal family, the Yue family in turn to pay a visit to the new aunt.
Mu Hanzhang looked at the uncles and brothers kneeling in front of him, his heart couldn't tell what it felt like, good thing Jing Shao had been holding his hand, as if to tell him "don't be afraid, I'll back you up". In the past, he always thought of the examination, so that these people can look up to him, now it seems that this goal seems to have been achieved in a strange way, at least, now this Marquis of Northern Wei no one dares to bully him.
Feeling the man slowly return his grip, a smile surfaced in Jing Shao's eyes, and he aloud for the crowd to get up before Marquis Bei Wei led them into the mansion.
Most of Mu Jin's brothers were commoners and could not inherit the title, so standing beside him was his first eldest son Mu Lingbao, who had already asked for a decree to be crowned as the son of the world the year before.
Mu Lingbao looks white and tender, probably because of the new year, he looks a bit fat, Mu Jin accompanied Jing Shao, so he walked beside Mu Huanzhang: "Second brother will go to the inner courtyard to sit with mother at the banquet or will he stay with us in the front courtyard?" His expression was the usual arrogant mockery.
"Elder brother is the son of the world, these etiquettes should be clearer than little brother." Mu Hanzhang did not look at him either, walking slowly towards the front with his frame.
Mu Lingbao look at him through the body dress, temperament, only hate itchy teeth, heart that this kid is not crookedly fall into the nest of blessings?
Mu Jin glared at his eldest son and said to Jing Shao with a smile, "It's still early, please go to the front hall with your majesty and the micromanager to have tea, so that the crown princess can go and meet his mother, then come back to the front hall to start the banquet."
Jing Shao glanced at the person beside him, and when he nodded, he slowly released the hand he was holding, "You're still sick, don't get too tired."
"Yes." Mu Hanzhang answered, smiled gently at him, and followed Mu Lingbao to the backyard, Zhi Ruoxi, Lan Ting, and a few other maids and two small eunuchs also followed, the vastness was quite spectacular.
The series of actions of the two from the car naturally fell in the eyes of Mu Jin, quite surprised to find that Mu Hanzhang was not only not angered, but also very favored. Bei Wei Marquis breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, for relying on the king to find a business doorway more certain, the smile on his face couldn't help but be more brilliant a few points.
"Yo, look, our princess has returned." This voice sounded like that talkative third aunt, and Mu Hanzhang ignored it, walking straight to the main house and standing in front of the door.
"As the crown princess returns to the door, all the ladies and young ladies can just make a half salute." Zhi Ruoxi stood at Mu Huan Zhang's side and said to the crowd in a rather grand manner.
The aunts and cousins in the room were all stunned before they reacted to the fact that this person was already the Cheng Wangfei of the first rank, not the unfavored concubine son.
Northern Marquis of Wei's wife Du smiled and stood up from the main seat, leading the ladies in a blessed salute: "Greetings to Princess Cheng as she returns to the door."
"Mother, please rise." Mu Hanzhang stepped forward to help his first mother up, motioning for the others to get up as well.
For Mu Hanyang's attitude, Mrs. Beiwei Marquis is very satisfied, backhandedly pulled his hand to the main seat with his own seat. Mu Hanzhang looked around, behind Mrs. Beiwei Marquis stand concubines, three of the four aunts are present, only missing his own mother.
"Are you used to living in the royal residence?" Du was not in a hurry to talk about his own mother, and affectionately asked what a first mother should ask.
"Back to mother, everything is fine," Mu Hanzhang heart worry, but can not directly ask out, that is disrespectful to the first mother, "mother recent body can be well?"
Du's body has not been very good since she gave birth to her youngest daughter, and she looks much thinner than the average woman, so even when she smiles, there are a few points of harshness: "Thanks to your filial piety, I'm quite hardy, it's just that Aunt Qiu fell ill the day before yesterday, and without her by my side, I'm not cheap to do anything."
Mu Hanzhang's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist, but on his face he did not show it, "With mother's care, auntie will definitely get better, the king just happened to let his son bring some snow ginseng back to replenish the body of mother and aunties." Said, signaling the small eunuch behind him to present a box of snow ginseng.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of Mrs. Bei Wei Marquis, smiled and let the maid receive it, "Marquis explained to let you go to the front hall at noon to go to the banquet, we are a group of women you stayed also uninteresting, take advantage of this moment to go to see Aunt Qiu."
When Mu Hanzhang left with his subordinates, Marquis Beiwei's wife's face immediately went cold.
"Yo, this brat has hardened his wings and knows to threaten his sister-in-law with the king." The Third Mistress said with a cold smile, looking curtly at the person on the main seat.
"Nothing can come out of the rummage." Du took a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth, lazily stood up, "Let's go, let's also prepare to open the banquet."
Jing Shao stood with his hands in the study of the North Marquis of Wei, quite interested in a painting on the wall. The long scroll took up half of the wall, on which nine blades were painted, inscribed with a line of words, "...... thought that the treasure weapon nine ...... knives three, one is said to be Lingbao, two is said to contain the chapter, three is said to be the quality of the quality of the dagger; daggers two... ... because of the posture of the fixed name, to inscribe its calyx."
"Your Highness is also a lover of weapons, right?" Mu Jin smiled.
"When a treasure weapon recognizes its owner and is not one's own, it can only be used for fun and enjoyment and cannot kill the enemy." Jing Shao turned around and looked at Marquis Bei Wei with a smile.
"Your Highness is really an expert in the field," Mu Jin smiled, did not pick up Jing Shao's words again, and digressed, "Hanyang has not loved blades since he was a child, and is mute and clumsy in his speech, so if there is anything he has done inappropriately, please don't take it personally with him."
"Jun Qing is good." Jing Shao said faintly, turning his head to look at the painting on the wall again, in the middle of the chapter-containing sword, colorful, colorful like Danxia, and the quality of the sword cross and put, on the inscription of the eight words, "Chapter-containing qualities, Ice Jie Yuanqing".
Mu Jin saw him so calm and relaxed, into this study for an incense stick of time, still not slow to play tai chi with him, not a word to ask the intention of bringing him here, can not help but be a little anxious. Rumor has it that King Cheng is irritable and easy to anger, less patience, but now it seems that this popularity is calm and unhurried, his eyes are as steady as a pool, full of killing and decisive aura of killing, completely unlike a young man who has not yet reached the weak crown.
Mu Hanzhang let Zhi Ruoxi reward him with some silver, then waved away the maid who led the way and walked into Aunt Qiu's small courtyard. The Marquis House is not as big as the King's House, and all the people in the house live in one courtyard, while the concubines can only share a small courtyard with two rooms, and the empty space is just a gap between the house of one aunt and that of the other.
"Qiu Lan, is the second young master in the backyard?" A familiar voice came from the house with a slight cough.
"Yes, I heard that I'm talking to madam." Qiu Lan carries a pot of herbal tea out to change the water, and happens to bump into Mu Hanzhang in front of the door, and can't help but exclaim out, "Second Young Master!"
Mu Hanzhang nodded and lifted the curtain and walked in. The situation inside the house was not as bad as imagined, Aunt Qiu was leaning on the head of the bed embroidering flowers, and when she heard Qiu Lan's exclamation of shock she suddenly zipped her hands.
"Why are you still embroidering flowers when you're sick?" Mu Hanzhang walked over quickly.
Aunt Qiu sucked off the blood beads on her fingertips and looked at him and smiled foolishly: "Just can not see the wind, embroidery may not be a problem, the second young master in the royal residence can be safe and sound ......" said but could not help but shed tears.
"I'm very good, auntie don't worry, the king he ...... treats me very well ......" Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips and said slowly, taking the handkerchief in Aunt Qiu's hand to wipe her tears. "He assigned me a boy guard, allowed me to go out, and did not take his anger out on me."
"Really?" Aunt Qiu was in disbelief, King Cheng was notorious for his bad temper.
"He, in fact, is not quite the same as what everyone knows," remembering the past two days together, Mu Hanzhang's face showed a smile, "I'm really having a good time, Mother ......"
