Chapter 39

Rong Xiangmian is busy shifting focus, put yesterday into the new room ceremony, Song mother to give them cut two strands of hair, from the pillow under the touch out, himself down to the ground, turned over a delicate gold depiction of the lotus pattern of the brocade box, hair into it, and then put the box discreetly put away in the bed in the cupboard.

Yuhang smiles at her busy with these unimportant things, gradually guessed that she is embarrassed to change clothes in front of him, and wittingly got up, Xiangxian subconsciously pulled his sleeve: “Your Highness”.

King Yu turns around: “What’s wrong?”

“Did you solve last night’s urgent matter?”

King Yu looks a little hesitant and says, “It’s fine, don’t worry.”

The first time to enter the palace as a daughter-in-law, Rong Xiangmian properly dressed up. Even the tiara has been changed a few times.

Can’t be too simple and thin, afraid of losing the face of King Yu. Can’t be too luxurious for fear of people talking about Yuhang. But it has to look good and be to her liking. Until Feixue, who was responsible for combing her hair, sighed long and hard, then she gave up.

After leaving the bedroom, Rong Xiangmian took the maids to the Liuyun Hall. On the way, from time to time, they saw underlings walking by with things or tending to flowers and plants.

“Where have the rules of this Yu Wang Fu been learned? When you see the princess from afar, even if you don’t wait and bow, you even speed up your steps and run away. We’re not tigers trying to eat people!”

Fei Xue saw that the two groups of people were unruly, and she was already angry.

Linlang also felt that it was unreasonable: “The girl’s generosity is especially generous. In the future, when other families come to the house, the guests will see and say that the Yuhang Mansion is not in order.”

Feixue asked, “Miss, do you need us to teach you the rules?”

Xiangmian shakes her head, “The Yuhang Mansion is a new residence, and the people in the house are not the old people around Yuhang. The people in this house are not the old men around Yü King, they are bought from who knows where, they are bounties, and they are a mixture of fish and dragons. His Highness has not yet spoken, we are the first to take charge, His Highness will not look good, but it also seems that we are too hasty. Moreover, he has been on the border for a long time, Hutian Haitian wild used to, I’m afraid also do not value these rules, on the contrary, feel that we have a lot of rules, not as good as to let him in the capital by the see, know how other people’s houses act, he went to change himself.”

“Well, the girl is thoughtful.”

Aimi couldn’t help but mutter again, “Why hasn’t this Liuyun Hall arrived yet? Is the place for meals so far away?”

“I don’t know ah ……,” Feixue stopped and glanced at Linlang, “Do you know where the Liuyun Hall is?”

Lin Lang’s eyes widened, “I followed you, I thought you knew!”

“I only know that out of the small courtyard door to the west ……,” Feixue suddenly realized, “Did we just walk past this place? Behind this window is a Yuanbao maple.”

Rong Xiangxian took a look at it and it wasn’t right either. This road is full of black tiles and white walls on one side, like countless screens separating a road in the mansion, and on the contrary, the road is not straight, curving around, like a maze.

“What kind of weirdo is this, setting up a maze in his own backyard, does he want to trap me in it?”

“Your Highness is overly concerned.”

Xiangmian and the two maids turned around following the voice, only to see a plain white wall, backtracking a few steps, only to realize that there was a path hidden by the tree branches at the back.

After a few steps in the past, Yü Wang is sitting in a small flower hall by the water to have breakfast, and Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei are standing behind him.

“It’s over, His Highness heard us talking about him.” Feixue says quietly.

Aimi felt a pang of weakness: it’s not as if she’s going to get angry with me over that comment. She hurriedly put on a polite fake smile, meandering slowly stepped forward, and when she reached her heel, she whispered a million blessings, “Your Highness.”

The way the princess saluted was really dignified, and Zhou Xian Yang liked it. He gestured for her to sit down, “Wangfei should stop saluting all the time at home in the future.”

He really did not like these rules in the capital. Rong Xiangmian smiled as she took her seat, and being in this Liuyun Hall, she looked around and suddenly had an open mind.

Here the terrain is high, the view is excellent, the water gurgles, through the flowers and willows, with the petals blowing down around the flower hall flow away. The short wall looked like a toy, surrounded by the array, the window holes in the wall and the trees against the background, very elegant. It was not a garden in the capital.

“This is the style of the garden in Spirit State, I like it, so I built this side of the world in the mansion, it will be nice to enjoy the moon in the future.”

Xiangmian had to pretend that all those words just now didn’t exist, and chimed in, “Lingzhou is in the southeast, right, I’ve only seen a few words in Tang Qian’s Travels of a Mountain Man. I have not had the honor of visiting it.”

Zhou Xian Yang said, “I am also returning to the capital this time to be stationed through, a short stay. There will be a long time to come, and we will have the opportunity to go and have some fun together.”

The farthest place Rong Xiangyang had ever traveled was to the Western Mountains to pay homage to his mother. Thinking that he would never be able to go there again, a trace of sadness welled up in his heart, but it was not good to show it.

Soon, the little girl brought up Rong Xiangmian’s breakfast. When she took a look, it was also what she loved to eat on her own.

“My big brother even remembers what I love to eat for breakfast ah? I don’t even remember his, what a shame.”

Rong Xiangxian scooped a spoonful of the shrimp and corn egg custard, which was tender and soft in the mouth. The Yuhang Mansion’s cook’s skills are superior to those of the Duke of England’s Mansion.

King Yuh smiled, “How come? I asked your elder brother and he went back to ask your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law drew up a booklet and gave it to me. What you love to eat at different times of the year, what you don’t love to eat, and what you avoid, all written clearly.”

“That sister-in-law of mine is extremely virtuous and capable, and my big brother was lucky to marry her.”

“Your brother said that in a man’s life, what with building a career and being an official, if he can’t marry a virtuous and capable wife, it’s all for naught. Family harmony and tranquility, and children being well brought up, are more important than anything else.”

Sagami immediately returned, “I will learn from my sister-in-law.”

“I’m just casually saying his words to you, you don’t need to compare yourself to others.” Xian Yang feels that the king’s consort does not look like his wife, but rather like she’s from the Ministry.

King Yu again takes the initiative to respond to the discussion she just had with the maids, “Some of these people in the mansion are rewarded by the palace, so we can’t move them for now.”

Rong Xiangshi disagrees, “Is it because they are rewarded by the palace that they are allowed to roam around? Such a big mansion, more people have no rules, if it makes a big mess, hurt is your highness’s face. And ……”

“And what?”

Rong Xiangshi whispers, “Your Highness is not afraid of having the ears and eyes of the Chengqian Palace and the Li Wang Mansion?”

King Yu put down his tea, “Your Highness is truly an understanding person.”

Rong Xiangshi looked at his calm demeanor and realized, “Your Highness wants them to make a big deal out of it and clean it up all together?”

Zhou Xian Yang did not deny it.

“But what if they know the difference and don’t dare to make a big deal out of it?”

“Then help them make a big deal out of it.”

“Huh?” Rong Xiangmian felt that this person was used to this trick, “Like what you did to the Empress before?”

In his heart, Xian Yang wondered, this girl is really not easy to deal with. It would be hard to do anything behind her back in the future.

Seeing that he didn’t deny it, Yang Rong reminded him, “By coming to organize the wedding, you can benefit a lot from it. For the Sixth Princess’s marriage, the Empress and the Marquis of Yongan’s House have made tens of thousands of taels of oil from it.”

“What?” Xian Yang, unlike Rong Xiangmian who grew up in the harem, hadn’t thought about this aspect at all.

Rong Xiangmian was a bit worried, “If you don’t let her preside over the marriage between the Yuhang and Yunwang families, you’ll make her family earn hundreds of thousands of taels less and make her lose face, so I’m afraid that she won’t give up.”

Zhou Xian Yang sighed softly, “She is also a poor person. If it wasn’t for the fact that she and the Zhang family caused so much trouble once I returned to the capital, I would have wanted to make peace with her. Then it wouldn’t have caused so many complaints from the noble families in the capital, and even dragged you into embarrassment.”

Rong Xiangmian relieved him, “You don’t have to dwell on that matter, only …… things like burning the wutong, your highness in the future can still be avoided. Sparks have no eyes, although your highness is to understand my plight, if the state government and the Rong family ancestral hall burned, I do not know what face to see my ancestors again.”

At these words, Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Zhou Xian Yang glanced back and they immediately covered their mouths.

Lin Lang and Fei Xue were also gritting their teeth, not daring to laugh out loud for fear that His Highness would be annoyed.

Zhou Xian Yang snapped for a moment and said apologetically, “I also saw that you were dragged down by me and felt bad, in a moment of passion, I will never do this again.”

Seeing that he was so serious, Rong Xiangyang frankly said, “What happened that day was not all because of Your Highness. Mother was already angry with me, and punishing me was just a pretext.”

Zhou Xian Yang had some doubts, but Xiangmian did not want to talk about her mother’s faults and pulled away from the topic.

After the two of them finished their breakfast, the Chief Mansion Officer had already sent someone to urge them, saying that it was time to leave for the palace.

King Yu takes the first step onto the carriage, turning back and reaching out to Rong Xiangmian: “Outside the fire, on the polo field, you refused to let me hold it, now it’s always okay, right?”

Xiangmian smiles in embarrassment and reaches out, being held tightly by him.
