Chapter 52

The days flowed peacefully like running water, without the thrill of an assassin breaking through the door, and the weather gradually turned cold without notice.

In the General Military Mansion, Xiaoyan was busy ordering the steward to take off her winter clothes, and Yunxi, who had nothing to do, either lay in the courtyard of Tingxuelou and practiced whips every day, or ate some weird food with the eldest princess in the main courtyard.

Life is leisurely and peaceful, but sometimes I miss Murong Hao.

I don't know if Chu Weijing said something to the eldest princess, but she never allowed Yunxi to go out, poor Yunxi didn't even have the chance to secretly go to the Qizhen Pavilion to meet Murong Hao.

Today, Yunxi was still waiting in the main courtyard for ginger milk to be delivered from the small kitchen of the eldest princess. It was the recipe she thought of. Madam Zheng in the small kitchen made it after two experiments. It was just right for the cool weather. So every day Yunxi would accompany the eldest princess to have a bowl.

Ginger juice was brought to the milk, and Yunxi drank it spoonful by spoonful with a silver spoon, when Mother Jiang asked, "Princess, your birthday will be in ten days, should the mansion make preparations?"

Yun Xi raised her head in surprise, and the milk in her mouth poured down her throat, choking her to cough.

Princess Lingxi scolded, "Look at you, how old you are, you can still choke on something."

Next to him, Xiao He hurriedly brought the little girl to clean up. Yun Xi let them fiddle with her, and asked nonchalantly, "Mother's birthday is ten days away, why don't I know?"

"After a year and a year, why do you want to make a fuss?" Princess Lingxi said dissatisfiedly.

Yun Xi secretly smiled in her heart, it seems that all women throughout the ages are afraid of old age, even noble princesses are no exception.

However, looking at the well-maintained princess Lingxi, she couldn't hide her disappointment when she mentioned her age. Yunxi stepped forward to comfort her: "Who dares to say that mother is old? Look at this skin, there is no wrinkle at all. If we go together Going out, the daughter is afraid that others will recognize the mother and daughter as sisters."

Princess Lingxi's face was full of glory when Yun Xi said it, but she pretended to be angry and said: "The more you lose your shape!"

Seeing that her princess and the second lady got along well, Jiang Nanny was very ironic in her heart, and said jokingly, "Second lady is right, the princess's demeanor is by no means inferior to that of the past. This year's birthday should be a big one, so that Jiangnan Those ladies and ladies are all envious of the princess's good demeanor."

Princess Lingxi nodded, and said seriously: "Last night, the son-in-law also said that it must be handled well. Lin'an has been in chaos for so long. There should be some happy events coming to town."

Yunxi agreed in her heart.Although these days are nestled in the mansion, there is a gossiping person like Xiao He by her side, and Yun Xi has a little understanding of the outside affairs.

It is said that the three fires that my general's father took office as a new official really ignited the ground today.

Together with Qin Yi, he and Qin Yi not only wiped out Jinzhai in one fell swoop, but also suppressed the rebellion in the Lin'an barracks. The two sides cooperated seamlessly, and firmly held the military power in Lin'an and even the entire Jiangnan.

After Qin Yi returned to Beijing, Chu Weijing, together with the Governor of Jiangnan, wiped out the remnants of the Southern Dynasties that remained in Jiangnan.

A few days ago, the imperial decree was issued that all the culprits should be beheaded immediately. Once such iron and blood methods are used, all the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River will be in the hands of the emperor.

Although there is nothing wrong with the heavy codes in troubled times, the fact that many mansions have been taken over these days has really made Jiangnan feel jittery for a while.

Now that the situation in Jiangnan has been settled, in order to appease the people in Jiangnan, as the highest-ranking wife in Jiangnan, the princess's birthday banquet is probably for this purpose.

"Yun'er, I'm afraid there will be many things to do at the birthday banquet this time, so go and help your sister." Princess Lingxi interrupted Yun Xi's thoughts.

Yun Xi immediately shook her head like a rattle and said, "No, no, I won't. I'll just prepare a gift for my mother."

Although Princess Lingxi is really good to her, even her own is nothing more than that.But she and Xiaoyan really hated each other. She had already given up trying to mend the relationship between sisters, and it was best to maintain the relationship with strangers like this.

Princess Lingxi also knew what was going on in Yunxi's heart. She really couldn't figure out why the two daughters couldn't get along well. No matter how she matched them up, they were just like their enemies in the previous life, and they were unwilling to get close to each other at all.Even in front of her, one came and the other wanted to leave.

Seeing that Princess Lingxi's complexion was not good, Yun Xi couldn't bear to make her sad, so she hurriedly remedied: "Mother, my sister will arrange it properly by herself. Besides, isn't there another servant? I just need to think about what to give to mother. Just a gift."

"Want to leave the house again?" Princess Lingxi pierced her mind sharply.

"Yeah, how can I have a good gift for my mother if I don't go out." In order to go out to get some air, Yunxi also acted like a baby to her, ignoring that she was about the same age as the eldest princess in her past and present lives.

Unable to resist Yunxi, Princess Lingxi said: "You can go out, but you must bring more people with you."

Seeing that the wish was finally fulfilled, Yun Xi burst into smiles on her face and heart, and leaned in front of Princess Lingxi and kissed her hard on the face with a "boo".

"It's still my mother who treats me well. On your birthday, I will definitely give you the best gift." After speaking, he hurriedly saluted and took Xiaohe back to Tingxuelou to prepare.

"This child rubbed my face with drool." Covering her kissed left cheek, Princess Lingxi said embarrassedly: "You are as lively as a monkey, but how can you get married?"

Nanny Jiang complained inwardly. Isn't it because the adults don't let the second lady go out because they are afraid that she will be abducted by King Jing.With King Jing here, are you afraid that the second lady won't be able to get married?

But after thinking about it, Mother Jiang still persuaded with relief on her face: "Miss is lively only in front of you, isn't it just her and you. If you are in front of outsiders, Miss is still a dignified and generous lady."

Thinking about it, this is indeed the case, and Princess Lingxi gave up her plan to transform Yunxi.She had written to the Empress before, asking her to help pick out a few seasoned nuns from the palace and send them to Lin'an, who were going to put them next to Yun Xi to teach her the rules.

Now that I think about it, when Mammy comes, I still have to give it a good beating, but I can't teach a person who is like a log, loses his personality, and is not likable.

Yun Xi, who only wanted to go out, would be very grateful to her if she knew what Jiang Nanny said and saved her from being tortured by the foster mother.

After a while, when everything was packed, Yunxi took Xiaohe, Haitang and Dingxiang, and went out in an eight-wheeled carriage, accompanied by six personal guards, and a coachman sat on the shaft, and went out in a very pompous manner.

The current Haitang and Dingxiang are no longer the original two. It is said that the two female hidden guards were sent back for retraining because they failed to protect her well. These two were sent back by Mu Jing, and they did not even change their names.

Yun Xi protested but was dismissed by Murong Hao.He only said that the first mission of the secret guard is to protect the good master, and if Yunxi is in danger, he should be punished, there is no other reason to say.

The feudal privileged class has no human rights!Yun Xi complained wildly in her heart, but she forgot that she is now one of them and is living such a privileged life.
