Chapter 39

Half a month passed, and Xiao Sesu's old injury finally stabilized.

These days, Yu Wangyan kept his promise and spared time to dine with her, the faint warmth made Xiao Sesu feel at ease.

The weather was still cold and the north wind was bitter. Without Concubine Shi, Prince Jin's Mansion seemed to be much cleaner.Wrapped in a plain shawl of brocade and jacquard cotton, holding a heater in his hand, he walked in the maple forest by the back lake.

From here, you can see the scenery on the other side of the lake. It is the most remote and quiet corner of the palace. I have been in the mansion for so long, but I have never gone there. Xiao Sesu suddenly had the idea of ​​going there.

It's just that not long after they left, they heard Lu Yi's shout.Xiao Sesu turned her head and saw Luyi running over panting.

"Miss, it's not good, something serious happened, something serious happened!"

Lvyi pressed her knees out of breath, panting wildly in front of Xiao Sesu.

"What's the matter, talk slowly." Xiao Sesu's heart tightened.

Lu Yi shouted: "It's His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

"His Royal Highness is going to marry a side concubine again!"

Xiao Sesu's heart skipped a beat, maybe Yu Qingyang wants to marry sister Jinlan!

Luyi was surprised and said: "His Royal Highness's concubine Jin died less than three months ago, and the mourning period has not yet passed, and he is going to marry his sister again! Master Shanzong told me that it was originally a matter of Emperor Tianying's 1 yuan. One disagreed, and said that if His Royal Highness dared to accept Zhang Jinlan into the mansion, he would not recognize him as his father. But who knew that the imprint of a Chongming bird suddenly appeared on Zhang Jinlan's palm, no one could open her hand, only His Royal Highness shook it The palm of her hand was spread out, and the Chongming bird was still shining! This incident caused Empress Zhao and Concubine Zhao to bring it up in front of Emperor Tianying, saying that the Chongming bird was a good omen, which was obviously confirmed. Zhang Jinlan. As a result, Emperor Tianying was persuaded and decreed to give Zhang Jinlan to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a side concubine this morning. Master Shanzong said, if Queen Zhao hadn’t preferred to let Zhao’s daughter be the crown prince’s wife, Emperor Tianying might have returned. Will make Zhang Jinlan the Crown Princess!"

After saying these words, Xiao Sesu's little hands trembled, and strong emotions gushed out from the bottom of her heart, resentment, pain, worry, each emotion cut her heart cruelly.

What kind of Chongming bird, what kind of auspicious omen from heaven... How could she not know that it was made by Yu Qingyang, Queen Zhao and Concubine Zhao.

Why are these people willing to spend so much effort to get Yu Qingyang to marry Jin Lan's sister, and they don't hesitate to do bullying?If it wasn't for getting something from Jin Lan's sister, how could they do this?

Unable to guess what sister Jinlan's situation is, Xiao Sesu is worried, and urgently wants to go to Zhang's house to have a look.The Zhang family's heirs are weak, and now only the eldest sister Jin Lan and younger brother Yi Fan are left. She dare not imagine whether sister Jin Lan will end up like the former Zhang Jinse.

"Lvyi, I want to go to Zhang's house, follow me to find the prince." Xiao Sesu said seriously, and pulled Lvyi away.

"Miss, are you going to ask the prince to let you out of the mansion?" Lu Yi said: "Don't leave the mansion, there are always some people who want Miss's life, it's even more unsafe to go out!"

"I'm going to have to take a look for myself to rest assured."

"But miss... ah! The lord is here!" Luyi suddenly spotted Yu Wangyan, "Miss, it's the lord!"

Xiao Sesu stopped, looking at Yu Wangyan who was coming towards him.

He walked quickly, a smoky gray robe fluttering in the cold wind, the newly washed Sichuan brocade was not very smooth, it was slightly wrinkled, and the color was like ripples in the river.

He was still calm, with a sense of alienation that turned warm and cold, his eyes were dim, and the color was extremely deep.

Xiao Sesu lowered her head and said to him, "Luyi told me about sister Jinlan's matter."

Yu Wangyan glanced at Lu Yi, who bowed her head like Xiao Xiao, and stuck out her tongue.

He said: "Follow the king to Zhang Taifu's house to congratulate."

"Congratulations?" He Xizhi?
"Even if your heart is stuffy, you still have to congratulate this happy event, and you can't be honest." Yu Wangyan could easily see that Xiao Sesu's mood was exactly the same as his own.

The bottom of his heart softened a little, Yu Wangyan said softly: "Hey, I'll be back, I won't stay any longer."

"My lord?" Xiao Sesu nodded with warmth in his heart, "Okay, I'll follow my lord, and I won't run around."

"Ah."

At the first moment of the hour, Yu Wangyan and Xiao Sesu arrived at Zhang's house in a carriage.

Yu Wangyan got out of the carriage first, turned around and let Xiao Sesur get out of the carriage, and then Luyi hurriedly took over and helped Xiao Sese over.

The servants in the mansion hurriedly came to welcome the lead horse.

"The Imperial Servant's Mansion." Shan Zong looked up at the plaque at the door, and said with a half-smile: "The person who wrote the inscription has vigorous and concise handwriting, and it looks very good. What do you think of the prince and princess?"

"Indeed." Yu Wangyan said, glanced at Xiao Sesu, but saw her staring at the plaque in a daze, as if she hadn't heard what they said.

Tai servant mansion.

How familiar these three words are to Xiao Sesu.

She saw big characters when she was a child, and she used to shuttle in and out of the door under the plaque countless times, but now, this plaque and this door have left her far away.

She is no longer the daughter of the Zhang family!

"Thurse, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Wangyan's voice brought Xiao Sesu back to his senses.

She forced a smile: "nothing, let's go in."

Yu Wangyan didn't say a word, he could see that Xiao Sesu was in a very bad mood, although he didn't know the reason, how could he feel better?

When he thinks that his favorite woman once lived in this mansion, all the memories will come flooding back.Every flower and tree here cruelly evoked his grief and condolences. Stepping into this mansion was like stepping into a spell.

"My lord?" Xiao Sesu gently pulled up Yu Wangyan's cuff.How could she forget that there was another person here who was in the same mood as her?

She plucked up her courage, and carefully held Yu Wangyan's hand, and such a move made Yu Wangyan's eyes flashed a strange light, as if she was about to pull out her hand subconsciously, but after meeting the bleak gaze, Still choose to compromise.

"My lord, let's go in together, you... don't be sad anymore." Xiao Sesu murmured and took a step.

Before crossing the threshold, the eunuch Zhang Qian and his wife, Mrs. Feng, walked quickly to greet him, and greeted him respectfully.

Yu Wangyan signaled them to be excused.

Xiao Sesu also smiled and said, "Hello."

"Princess Jin." Zhang Qian cupped his hands, bowing low.

Xiao Sesu felt desolate, and said with a silly smile, "Where is Sister Jinlan? I want to play with Sister Jinlan."

"Jin Lan is in the back garden."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go to the back garden first." Xiao Sesu rushed in holding her skirt.

"Hey, Princess Jin!" The Feng family hastily recruited a servant over, "Hurry up and chase after Princess Jin, but you must ensure the safety of Princess Jin."

"Mrs. Zhang doesn't need it." Shan Zong smiled and cupped his hands, "Just go down and look after the princess."

"En." Yu Wangyan said: "This king and Zhang Taifu are discussing matters in the front hall." Then he called the servant who accompanied him, "Submit the gift list to Zhang Taifu, and the gift to Zhang's steward for acceptance."

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhang Qian hurriedly said: "King Jin, you are too polite, old minister..."

Yu Wangyan raised his hand, signaling to Zhang Qian that there is no need to continue, "Private servant, this king is just expressing his feelings."

Zhang Qian suddenly understood what was happening, sighed and said: "The deceased is gone, the old minister has already learned from the pain, and I hope the prince can also mourn."

"Thank you, servant." Yu Wangyan cupped his hands.

"Then King Jin, please come inside."

"Please."

On the path of the imperial servant's mansion, the plum blossoms have fallen all over the place, the first month is about to leave, and the warming weather has taken away the unyielding stamens of Ling Han.

The road is full of fragrance and the ground is pink. The plum blossoms in the Taipu Mansion are either red or white, and they have always been pink.

Plum blossoms of this color are not common, but Zhang Jinse’s biological mother, He’s family, hand-planted them one tree after another. Xiao Sesu still remembers that her mother said that there are many, many pink flowers in her mother’s hometown.

Xiao Sesu couldn't remember the days when these small plum trees were planted. All he could see was that the small trees grew into big trees, and he himself grew from a little girl to a slim girl.Only the tree planters back then have already been buried in the ground.

Walking slowly, looking at the surrounding plants and trees, it seems like a lifetime away.

Xiao Sesu looked slightly sour, and when she turned her eyes, she found that Shan Zong was walking towards her.

"Princess, my lord is afraid that you will wander around, so I will follow you."

"Okay." Xiao Sesu nodded, calming down.

Walking towards the back garden with Shan Zong, Xiao Sesel felt a little uncomfortable. Xiao Sesel knew Shan Zong's wisdom and sharpness.There was no need for her to act stupid in front of him, she looked at a door opening not far away, and walked over.

"Princess, you seem to be very familiar with the Imperial Servant's Mansion." Shan Zong smiled.

Xiao Sesel said: "Sister Jinse used to bring me to play."

"Oh..." Shan Zong asked thoughtfully: "Since the princess has a good relationship with Concubine Jin, she should know that the prince loves Concubine Jin deeply, right?"

"……Know."

"Will the princess feel sad for herself?"

"……meeting."

Shan Zong's eyes sank, and he said, "I thought the princess was not jealous."

"It's not jealousy." The hand under the sleeve tightly pinched the lining, "It's not jealousy, no."

"what is that?"

Xiao Sesu stopped and looked back at Shanzong, the sorrow and vicissitudes in his eyes were endless, and the corners of his lips curled into a slight sad smile.

"Shanzong, you don't understand."

Shan Zong squinted his eyes, and the torchlight in his eyes fell on Xiao Sesu's face.This gaze was sharp, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see what kind of emotion Xiao Sesu was harboring.

Shan Zong thought, probably because the emotions are too complex and densely intertwined, it is so difficult to distinguish.

So, is it really okay to keep such a woman by the prince's side?

Just when Shanzong was thinking about whether to expose Xiao Sesel, Xiao Sesel suddenly saw something and was surprised.

She hurriedly pulled Shan Zong, crossed the arch, and hid behind the dense bushes.

"That's..." Shan Zong murmured in a low voice, looking at the same position as Xiao Sesu.

There was the most remote corner of the back garden, a young man glared at Yu Qingyang angrily, wishing he could eat him up.

"Bad guy, tell me, have you done something to be sorry for sister Jinse!"
