"Hehe~"
At four quarters past five in the morning the next day, the sound of Xiaobai imitating a hen's crowing was heard from the direction of the Fanyin Pavilion in the East Palace.
In Nangong Shilun's room in Xicuiyuan, Hua Qingcheng, who was sitting in front of the Bailingtai with her head resting on one hand, opened her eyes when she heard the sound.
Then she took out the dagger with ease, went to Nangong Shilun's bed, pulled out a Yuanpa from under his pillow, lightly cut a wound on his forearm, dripped two drops of medicine onto the Yuanpa, and then bandaged it skillfully.
(Before the first grace is granted, the people from the Jingshifang will go to the Shijun's room to make these preparations.)
"Your Highness, what are you doing..." Nangong Shilun was slightly touched.
"When you go to Lingkun Court to pay your respects to the Princess, remember to hand the Yuanpa to him for inspection in front of everyone." After Hua Qingcheng threw the Yuanpa to Nangong Shilun, she turned around and left the room with Yaoqin in her arms.
Looking at Hua Qingcheng's graceful back as she left, Nangong Shilun, who was sitting on the bed, had slightly moist eyes.
His unique hobby was destined to be unacceptable to the world, but he did not see any contempt in Hua Qingcheng's eyes. Nangong Shilun immediately accepted the favor of the princess in his heart and would repay her when he had the chance.
Hua Qingcheng, who was rushing to go to school with Wu Chen, didn't know that she had invisibly won people's hearts.
At two quarters past noon, Nangong Shilun took the Yuanpa to Lingkun Courtyard as instructed by Hua Qingcheng and presented it to Mu Lige for inspection.
Mu Lige still asked Shu Mo to accept it and left it for the people in the Jingshifang to check. He told Nangong Shilun to have a good rest, and after exchanging a few words with everyone, he sent them away.
"I only see the new people laughing, but I don't hear the old people crying." After everyone left, Si Chengfeng smiled bitterly, saluted Mu Lige, and prepared to leave.
"Fifth brother, please stay and accompany me for a walk in the garden." Seeing that Si Chengfeng was in a bad mood, Mu Lige called him.
"Yes, big brother."
Although there are more people in the East Palace now, Si Chengfeng can still clearly feel that Mu Lige treats them very differently from the people in Xicuiyuan.
At four o'clock in the morning, in Lingkunyuan Garden.
"Shumo, Lixiang, Yuanyu, Sangrou, go guard the surroundings of the yard."
"Yes, Masaru-kun."
After sending everyone away and asking them to watch from the surroundings, Mu Lige walked slowly with the support of Si Chengfeng.
Mu Lige is now nearly seven months pregnant with twins. Her belly is already very big and it is not very convenient for her to move.
"Brother, there are steps here, be careful."
After walking for a while, Si Chengfeng helped Mu Lige to the pavilion in the garden to rest.
"Fifth brother, you don't look well. Is it because you haven't had enough rest in the past few days?" Mu Lige looked at Si Chengfeng who was sitting opposite him with a little worry.
"Chengfeng now finally understands that, in fact, the person who suffers the most in this family is the eldest brother. It must be unpleasant to watch your wife bring one man after another home..." Si Chengfeng said frankly.
"Fifth brother, Qingcheng's identity means that we won't be the only ones around her. I hope you can be open-minded about this." Mu Lige looked ahead with a distant look in his eyes.
When Hua Qingcheng (the original owner) brought one man after another to her home, Mu Lige actually didn't care, because at that time he was just hiding in Huaqiao Village by pretending to be Hua Qingcheng's (the original owner) adopted husband, and he had no love for Hua Qingcheng (the original owner).
When Mu Lige fell in love with the current Hua Qingcheng, his three younger brothers at home had already developed a deep affection for him, so they accepted Hua Qingcheng being with them.
What really made Mu Lige feel heartbroken was the time when Hua Qingcheng brought Si Chengfeng back. However, in the subsequent interactions, Mu Lige gradually accepted the existence of Si Chengfeng, his fifth brother.
As for the left bank, Hua Qingcheng probably still doesn't know what the other party is thinking, and Mu Lige naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to break this window paper.
As for those people in Xicuiyuan, they were nothing to be feared. Although he didn't know what tricks Hua Qingcheng was playing, if he guessed correctly, his wife had no feelings for the men in Xicuiyuan at all, and her relationship with them was just a fake...
"Brother, what Chengfeng cares about most is not how many servants Her Highness has favored, but... but he cannot accept her affectionate relationship with Chengfeng's enemy..."
As Si Chengfeng spoke, his bright eyes were already wet with tears again.
His father had died the night Si Tianyu married Pingfu. His father had passed away with immense sorrow and reluctance to part with him. Could it be that he was now destined to repeat his father's mistakes?
"Fifth brother~"
Mu Lige sighed slightly and said, "If it's about Si Lingyun, maybe you... should believe her!"
Si Chengfeng stopped crying when he heard this and looked at Mu Lige in disbelief: "Brother, what you mean is..."
"True and false, false and true. What you see with your eyes is not necessarily the truth. You... have to feel it with your heart." Mu Lige said earnestly.
"Shumo, have someone bring the food to the pavilion in the garden. I want to have breakfast with Si Liangce."
Following Mu Lige's call, Shu Mo, who was not far away, came over.
"Zhengjun, you are not..."
"yes!"
Shu Mo originally wanted to say, "Haven't you already had breakfast?", but after receiving a sharp look from Mu Lige, he immediately changed his words.
As subordinates, they naturally do whatever their master tells them to do.
"Fifth brother, would you be so kind as to have breakfast with me?"
Mu Lige smiled tenderly at Si Chengfeng, as gentle as the spring breeze blowing on his face, and as charming as the ripples illuminated by the setting sun. Si Chengfeng, who was sitting opposite him, was so stunned that he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself.
"I will follow your orders, brother."
Mu Lige was obviously using the excuse of asking her to accompany him for breakfast to supervise her eating.
Si Chengfeng was kept in Lingkun Courtyard by Mu Lige for the whole morning. First, he asked him to accompany him for breakfast, then he accompanied him to bask in the sun in the garden for a while, and then he went back to the study to read, write and paint. Soon it was five minutes past four in the morning.
The hall of Lingkunyuan.
"Fifth brother, I have already asked someone to prepare lunch. Please go to the Imperial College on my behalf and deliver lunch to Qingqing and Sixth brother."
In recent days, Hua Qingcheng went to school at the Imperial College during the day, returned to the East Palace in the evening, had dinner, took a bath, did homework, and then went to Xicuiyuan. This went on for several days.
Not to mention him, he also had very little time to spend with Mu Lige. It was obvious that his elder brother had asked him to deliver food to the Imperial College in order to create an opportunity for him to spend time with Hua Qingcheng.
Si Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, then accepted Mu Lige's kindness.
"Yes, big brother."
At noon, when the bell rang for the end of school at the Imperial College, Hua Qingcheng and Wu Chen left the classroom and stepped out of the Imperial College gate. They saw a handsome figure in moon-white brocade clothes standing next to the East Palace carriage.
