Daughter of the prosperous age: the multi-faceted prince and the only favorite concubine

Chapter 22
Although it is autumn, the weather in Lin'an is still hot, and only when the evening wind blows can you feel the coolness.

Looking at Chu Weijing's broad back, Yun Xi felt sore and unbearable.

She suddenly remembered the scene of the only time she took a walk with her mother: in that dilapidated small courtyard in Huaping County, she used money to buy meat and vegetables, and her mother made a big dinner for the two of them.It was that time when her mother wanted to take her to find her father, and she was the first to tell her about the Chu family.

It's just that she didn't expect at that time that she had such a deep relationship with the Chu family.Although it was not long ago, it seemed like a lifetime to her.

In the blink of an eye, she loses her mother and gets the chance to walk with her father by herself.The separation and reunion in the world is always unpredictable.

A trace of unease suddenly flashed in Yunxi's mind: "Will I and Mu Jing be separated in the future?" No, Yunxi shook her head to drive away the wild thoughts in her mind, and she and Mu Jing will definitely stay together forever.

When her thoughts were flying, Chu Weijing's voice suddenly came to Yunxi's ears: "How did your mother die?" The tone was always full of suppressed guilt.

Yun Xi didn't hide it, and told Chu Weijing everything about herself and her mother preparing to go to Beijing but being rescued by a murderer and her mother falling to her death.

"Killer?" Chu Weijing was suddenly surrounded by overwhelming anger: "Could it be...?"

"What clue does father have?" Yun Xi asked.

Chu Weijing didn't continue talking, but instead asked: "Do you know who saved it? For my father, I should go and thank you in person."

Jun Xi shook her head, expressing that she didn't know, this was discussed between her and Mu Jing.

Now that Chu Weijing asked this question, she replied calmly: "When my daughter woke up, she was lying in the Baiyun Nunnery. My daughter also asked the master who presided over the meditation in the nunnery, but she refused to tell. Mother is also doing meditation. With the help of the teacher, he was buried on the mountain near Baiyun nunnery."

After listening to Yunxi's words, Chu Weijing sighed deeply: "Since that's the case, I will take you to Baiyun Nunnery for my father in two days, worship your mother, and thank the teacher for saving her life."

Yun Xi had no objection to this, and said, "Okay."

"Xi'er, you and your mother have suffered all these years, and my father will make up for you." Chu Weijing vowed.

Yun Xi didn't speak, because she didn't trust this kind of promise in her heart, because her father already had a new family of her own, and others said that with a stepmother, there would be a stepfather, not to mention that her father had never experienced her growth.

Chu Weijing couldn't wait for Yunxi's answer, sighed, and said, "Father will take you back."

"No, no need, just let the mother-in-law send the daughter off." Yunxi waved her hands again and again and said, "It's getting late, father should go to rest too."

Seeing the unusually persistent Yunxi, Chu Weijing didn't insist, so he ordered his mother-in-law to escort Yunxi to Tingxuelou.

Watching Yunxi's figure disappear into the corner of the corridor, Chu Weijing was still standing in the courtyard, wondering what he was thinking.

Princess Lingxi came up and said, "Husband, go back to your room. It's windy and dewy at night, your old wounds haven't healed yet, don't catch the wind and cold."

Chu Weijing said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, I want to take Yunxi to pay homage to the eldest princess who is carrying Lingxi."

"Xiaoyan and I should go too." Princess Lingxi was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Okay." After speaking, Chu Weijing took Princess Lingxi back to the room to rest.

Under the guidance of her mother-in-law, Junxi came to Tingxuelou, her new residence in the Chu Mansion.This is a two-story embroidered building with a small courtyard. Outside the courtyard is a stream of running water in the back garden of the Chu Mansion. There are remnants of lotus leaves in the water.Crossing the small arch bridge from the side corridor is also a courtyard, which is more generous and elegant than the Tingxue Building.

Yunxi asked the woman beside her: "Who lives in the yard next to me?"

"That's the eldest lady's residence, called Ting Lanxuan." The mother-in-law bowed back.

Jun Xi looked at the distance between the two courtyards, and estimated that standing on the second floor, she could see everything in Ting Lanxuan clearly and clearly.

Yun Xi wondered, doesn't this sister dislike her?Why did he arrange this place with her?

At this time, I heard that the lights in the snow building were brightly lit, and the servants and maids were shuttled back and forth with or holding things in their hands. When they saw Yun Xi coming back, they all bowed down and saluted.

Yun Xi waved her hand and asked, "Where is Missy?"

A maid stopped and replied, "Missy is on the second floor."

Junxi nodded, went up to the second floor, and saw Xiaoyan sitting there directing everyone to tidy up Yunxi's room.

Seeing Yunxi coming up, Xiaoyan got up and greeted her with a happy face and said: "My sister is back. It's my fault, everything is not ready, so I can only neglect my sister. Tonight will be the end of the night."

Jun Xi looked around and saw that the bed in the room was covered with curtains, and the dressing tables and desks were all neatly arranged, and there was nothing missing, so she solemnly blessed Yan Yan with a smile: "This is already very good, thanks for your hard work, sister. "

Xiaoyan's smile became brighter and brighter: "I don't dare to be the mother. My mother is not in good health. I will take care of the house temporarily. If there is anything you need, my sister can tell me." There was an unconcealable pride and show off on her face.

"Sister is really capable." Yunxi admired from the bottom of her heart. It seems that this step-sister is someone like Wang Xifeng.

The smile froze on Xiaoyan's face, as if she didn't expect Yunxi to praise her like this, but it only took a moment to return to normal, Yunxi almost thought she was wrong.

The atmosphere calmed down, and at this moment a nanny stepped forward and replied: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss's room has been tidied up, and the little girl and rough envoy in the yard have also settled down."

The stagnant atmosphere came alive again, Xiaoyan said: "Little girl and the first envoy's mother-in-law are easy to talk about. You have to choose the first and second-class girls yourself. Today I will leave the pearls around me here to serve you." , beckoning over, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid stepped forward and saluted Yun Xi.

After sending Xiaoyan away, Yunxi rested in the boudoir on the second floor under Pearl's dress, without talking all night.

The next day when Yunxi woke up, it was already a quarter of an hour, and Pearl from the outside room heard the news and came in to help her get up.

Junxi asked: "Why didn't you wake me up? Are you late to go to the main room to say hello?"

Pearl smiled and said, "Second Miss, the princess has been in poor health since this time. Besides, the eldest lady told me yesterday that you should go to the main room after you have rested on the first day after you come back."

Jun Xi nodded and asked, "Where does the young miss usually have her breakfast?"

"In the main room with the princess." Pearl replied respectfully.

Junxi thought for a while, and ordered Pearl to say: "Send a little girl to the main room to ask the princess and the eldest lady if they can have breakfast. If you have used it, forget it. If you haven't used it, just say that I want to go to eat too." convenient?"

Pearl was stunned for a moment, then turned around and told the little girl to go.

Just when Yun Xi had just cleaned up, the little girl came back with Mother Qin who was beside the princess.

Qin Nanny came in to salute and said, "Second Miss, is it ready? If it's all right, go to the main room with the old slave." Yunxi nodded, and followed Qin Nanny to the main room for dinner.
