Liu Yu walked in the palace garden.
Brother Heng and a few of his little cousins followed him like little followers.
He stopped, turned around and pinched Heng'er's cheek, "Do I have any candy on me? You always follow me and you don't find it annoying."
Heng Ge'er's face was pinched and deformed, and he said vaguely: "Promise me that I won't follow you."
Liu Yu raised his hand and flicked his forehead. "When you finish the homework I assigned you, we will discuss this issue again."
Heng'er's eyes lit up, and he asked quietly, "After I finish my homework, will you take me out of Beijing to study?"
"Hush! Don't make any noise, or your mother will punish you. Be good and take your brothers out to play. Don't leave the servants and eunuchs behind. Safety comes first."
"I see. Big brother, you're becoming more and more nagging. You're clearly aging before your time."
After Heng Ge'er finished complaining, he ran away with his little cousins.
Liu Yu watched them leave, smiled and shook his head.
You little brat, you actually dared to complain that he was aging prematurely or that he didn't do enough homework.
I will double Hengge's homework tonight.
Brother Xun came out from some corner, all dirty. He didn't say a word, but stared at Liu Yu with his innocent eyes wide open and tears in his eyes.
Anyone who sees such a pair of eyes will have their heart melted.
Liu Yu knew that Brother Xun was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, but he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
He squatted down and wiped Brother's cheek, "Who bullied you? Tell me, and I will help you get revenge."
Brother Xun still didn't say anything, but stretched out his little finger and pointed at Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was surprised. He felt very wronged.
"Me? Are you saying I bullied you? Brother, even if you want to file a complaint, you need evidence."
Brother Xun sniffed, and Liu Yu hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him.
In a childish voice, Brother complained, "Brother, you left the capital without me. How bad!"
Liu Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
I have a headache!
"Who told you I was going to leave Beijing?"
"Second brother!" Brother Xun betrayed Brother Heng without any hindrance.
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and tripled his homework at night.
He patted Brother's head and said, "Look, you're this old now. Even if your brother wants to take you out to play, your mother won't agree."
"I'll go and beg my mother."
"It's no use. You're too young to go out."
There were tears in Brother Xun'er's eyes, and he looked like he was saying, "You bullied me, I'm so sad, I'm about to cry."
Liu Yu picked him up.
Little fat pig, quite heavy.
"I'll take you to find Niuniu and play in the water with her, okay?"
Hengeer nodded reluctantly, his mouth still pouting, as if he was still very sad.
Liu Yu couldn't help laughing and scratched his brother's nose. "When you grow up and become as old as me, I will definitely take you out to play."
"Promise?" asked Brother Hen in a baby voice.
Liu Yu nodded heavily, "Promise."
With a reluctant look on his face, he said, "Okay, I'll trust you this time."
Liu Yu looked depressed.
What does it mean to reluctantly believe him?
When did his credit become so bad?
I found Niu Niu, and as expected, she was playing in the water again.
Brother Xun changed his previous sad look, jumped out of Liu Yu's arms, and ran towards Niu Niu happily.
The maids and servants who were almost going crazy looking for him knelt on the ground and cried bitterly for relief.
My ancestor, why are you so naughty?
In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
Liu Yu had to repeatedly remind his servants, "Keep an eye on Niuniu and Ge'er. There's a banquet at the mansion today, and there are many people involved, so don't let anything go wrong."
"Don't worry, my lord. I will keep my eyes on the two young masters without blinking."
"Remember what you said."
Liu Yu walked through the garden and prepared to go to the front yard.
I "ran into" countless cousins along the way.
Each of the cousins was weak and powerless. They were either dizzy or couldn't stand steadily, and they fell directly on him.
Fortunately, he had been practicing martial arts since childhood and was very agile, so he did not offend his cousins.
Some cousins may be "directionally blind" and don't know the way, so they can only ask for help from their cousin Liu Yu.
There were also some women who were not his cousins. Their sachets either fell at his feet or their handkerchiefs were blown away by the wind and blew towards him.
What's more, when walking by the river, my shoes and clothes got wet.
He was howling and screaming as if he was a lecher and had seen the other person's body.
Liu Yu almost didn't recognize his own back garden. When did it become occupied by a group of young girls?
I can’t afford to offend you! I can’t afford to offend you!
Liu Yu quickened his pace and simply took a secluded path.
Unexpectedly, no matter how remote the path was, there was a girl who sprained her ankle and had only a weak maid by her side.
There was also a girl's clothes hanging among the flowers, torn.
A girl fell to the ground and her makeup was smudged.
Liu Yu has gained more knowledge today than he has in the past ten years.
When he finally passed through the back garden of the palace, he started complaining to the servants around him.
"Who says that women in the boudoir are ignorant and simple-minded? I think they are very smart and proficient in all kinds of martial arts."
The servants chuckled, "The prince is handsome, high-ranking, and unengaged, so it's natural that the girls would be interested in him."
Liu Yu chuckled twice, "Is it still my fault? Ridiculous. No wonder mother said beautiful girls have complicated minds."
The servant laughed and said, "Not only beautiful girls have many tricks, but ugly girls also have a lot of tricks."
Liu Yu teased the servant, "From what you said, it seems that you have a deep understanding of this."
The servant sighed. The past was too painful to recall. Who said that illiterate, ordinary-looking girls were innocent? She was quite clever, wasn't she?
Both the master and the servant felt a sense of sympathy.
…
Gu Mei was impatient to listen to the opera, so she went to the side room to chat with Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu teased her, "Sister Mei is finally free today. It's been a long time since we sat down and had a good chat like this."
Gu Mei waved her hand. "You know my situation. Ever since my mother-in-law fell ill, I've been taking care of all the big and small things in the mansion. I can't leave for a day. Today, I'm taking advantage of your banquet to be lazy and relax."
"Sister Mei is the Crown Prince's wife and the eldest daughter-in-law, so she should be more concerned about you. How is your mother-in-law's health? Is she getting better?"
"Sister Xiaojiu is thoughtful. After all, even though people are getting better in health, they can't work too hard."
Gu Mei's mother-in-law, Lady Dai Hou, became ill due to anger.
He was so angry at his most beloved youngest son, Han Wulang, that he fell ill.
Many years ago, when Han Wulang was still a handsome young man, he had an affair with Princess Huyang and was almost forced to marry her.
Later, the Daihou Mansion compensated Princess Huyang with tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the matter was finally settled.
After this incident, Han Wulang behaved himself for a while.
The family planned to arrange a marriage for Han Wulang after things cooled down and find a wife to take care of him.
However, Han Wulang seemed to have been inspired by Princess Huyang, or a special experience changed his preferences, or for some other reason.
In short, since then, he no longer likes inexperienced young girls, but prefers mature and charming women.
Because of this hobby, Han Wulang had scandals with several married women.
The Daihou Mansion had to spend money to calm the situation.
However, Han Wulang's reputation became ruined.
Girls of equal social status are not willing to marry him.
Of course, Han Wulang was not willing to marry her either.
The skinny little girl has no charm at all and is like a piece of wood in bed. What's the point of her?
This delay dragged on for Han Wulang until he was in his twenties, and he got married two years ago under the pressure of his family.
I thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, troubles arose.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Han Wulang and Princess Huyang rekindled their old love, and they were very happy for a while.
However, Princess Huyang has always been a person who gets bored easily, and Han Wulang was forced by his family to get married. Before the wedding, Huyang kicked him.
Princess Huyang was very carefree. She kicked it away without taking a single cloud with her.
Han Wulang couldn't be so carefree.
He believed that marriage was the obstacle between him and Princess Huyang.
They started making a fuss half a month before the wedding, threatening to cancel the engagement.
Being locked up by his family and receiving a letter from Huyang completely put an end to Han Wulang's thoughts.
Only then did Han Wulang agree to get married.
Of course, Huyang was willing to write to Han Wulang because the Han family requested it.
Otherwise, given Princess Huyang's unlearned nature, she would not even bother to pick up a pen, let alone write a letter to Han Wulang.
A letter from Huyang put an end to Han Wulang's thoughts. Han Wulang was depressed for several months before he cheered up.
Sometimes Gu Jiu didn’t understand how Princess Huyang could have such great charm that she could be so infatuated with Han Wulang, a young man from a noble family.
Even ordinary people can see the facts, but Han Wulang just can't see through it.
Han Wulang, who had cheered up, was not idle either.
Continue his flower picking career.
Han Wulang's wife was unable to stop him because of her limited ability. She started crying when the elders asked about it.
I think even a capable and independent-minded girl would not be willing to marry Han Wulang.
It was no big deal for Han Wulang to pick flowers, but while he was picking, he actually picked one on his cousin Qu's head.
Cousin Qu, who lived with her aunt Qu in the Dai Hou Mansion, was determined to climb up the social ladder.
Unexpectedly, my grandmother came to Beijing suddenly.
Old Mrs. Qu arranged a marriage for her cousin Qu in a firm manner, with a military family of equal status.
Then he forced his cousin Qu back to his hometown to prepare for her marriage.
Even if Aunt Qu strongly opposed it and interceded for the old lady on behalf of the Marquis's Mansion, she could not change Old Madam Qu's mind.
Old Madam Qu pushed back, "This is our Qu family's affair, please don't interfere."
What else can the old lady of Dai Hou Mansion do?
She couldn't really interfere in the Qu family affairs. Her hands couldn't reach that far.
There was nothing they could do, and in the end they could only watch as Old Madam Qu took Aunt Qu, cousin Qu, and their daughter away from the capital.
Many years have passed, and Cousin Qu has already married.
Later, my husband got an opportunity and was transferred to the Beijing camp. Cousin Qu also came to the capital and resumed contact with the Marquis' Mansion.
At the end of last year, my cousin Qu's husband was ordered to rotate guard and go to the northwest front to make achievements.
Only cousin Qu was left at home with her three children and a group of servants.
No one knew when Han Wulang and his cousin Qu fell in love with each other, and when they began to have a secret relationship.
The matter was finally exposed by Han Wulang's wife herself.
