A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Dasheng Jinhan City.

The courtyard of Luoyi Pavilion in the Xiao Mansion was covered with begonias. Chuxia Lixue was sitting in the courtyard with Xiao Xingjian, following the teacher to copy large characters.

Baizhi was in charge of a group of gardeners and maids who were carefully tending to the delicate crabapple flowers that were drooping and blooming.

"You both have delicate hands. These flowers are the young lady's favorite."

The woman's voice came from behind. Bai Zhi turned around and saw Luo Yun, who had become increasingly well-off in recent years, walking towards her with several maids.

"Mother Luo."

Bai Zhi called out softly. Ever since Lin Qinghuan's accident, the lady in charge of Luoyi Pavilion had returned to Liu Ji's courtyard. All matters of Luoyi Pavilion, big or small, were decided by Yun Xiang and Bai Zhi.

"Baizhi girl, how are these crabapple blossoms blooming?"

Luo Yun carefully looked around at the flowers in the yard for a while, and then looked up and down at the work of the gardening girls.

"The maids are quite skilled. The crabapple blossoms this year are more delicate and beautiful than last year."

Bai Zhi replied softly.

"That's good, that's good. Today is our young mistress' birthday. When the eldest master returns, he will have to spend some time with the flowers in this yard. You'd better be careful and look around to see if there are any that have been defeated. Remove as many as possible to avoid making the eldest master feel uncomfortable and causing trouble."

Luo Yun gave a few more instructions and then walked towards the courtyard where Xiao Xingjian was studying.

Ever since Lin Qinghuan got into trouble, the Xiao family's grandson was taken to Qingyin Pavilion by Liu Ji to be raised. During the day, Yun Xiang and Bai Zhi took him back to Luoyi Pavilion to read and practice calligraphy, and in the evening, Luo Yun would ask someone to take him back to Liu Ji.

Dayan's Tokyo City.

Zhuang Ge'er sat alone on the corridor of Nanmoju, looking at the dripping autumn rain boredly, and from time to time stretched out her hands to catch the raindrops and play with them.

It had been a while since Gong Kou Shi came to Nanmo Residence to eat and play chess with her. Zhuang Ge'er felt very bored. There were many maids in the yard, but they could only serve her timidly. There was not even anyone to chat with her.

"I heard that the prince has been detained in the other courtyard by the old emperor for some time."

"I heard about it too. It seems like it's been three or five days. No wonder he hasn't come to our hospital."

The two maids guarding the gate whispered to each other while looking at Zhuang Ge'er sitting alone on the corridor in the distance.

Wan Dong, who was walking slowly to the door of Nanmoju in the rain with an oil-paper umbrella, heard the two maids chatting, slowed down his pace and stopped in the rain.

She had just returned from the other courtyard.

The rumors in the mansion have probably spread.

Wandong slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then cheered himself up and walked into Nanmoju.

In the villa, Gong Kou Shi was listening to stringed instruments and watching the graceful dance of the dancers in the bamboo garden, feeling very happy. The female guard beside her stood upright with her arms crossed and holding her sword.

"It's beautiful, it's wonderful, I appreciate it all."

When the dance ended, Gong Kou Shi clapped her hands, then signaled to the people around her and said something. The dancers all looked up happily and shyly at the young man sitting there, and then thanked him together.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the dancers and musicians left, he stepped forward and replied.

"Your Majesty, Wandong has returned."

Gong Kou Shi held the wine cup and looked at Bu Ci without answering. She was still thinking for a long time.

"Bu Ci, do you think Zhuang Ge'er will be very sad if I do this?"

"Your Majesty, everything you did was for His Majesty. Miss Zhuang knows everything and will not blame you."

"I hope she can understand my painstaking efforts."

"Sister Fairy, since I saved you, it means that all this was arranged by heaven. Your fate with my brother shouldn't be that shallow. Don't worry, I'm here, and no one will stop you in the future."

Gong Kou Shi sighed.

The residence of the third prince of Jinhan City in Dasheng.

Ning Chengxian spread out the documents in his hand on the table, glanced at Xiang Quan sitting opposite him, and continued to wipe the arrow in his hand with his head down.

"Fourth Uncle, don't you want to know what the document says?"

Ning Chengxian asked.

"It's quite interesting that Dayan would agree to a marriage with a princess born out of wedlock."

Ning Chengxian saw that his fourth uncle did not respond, so he continued.

"Dayan?"

When Ning Chengxian heard this, he looked up at Ning Chengxian, then put down the arrow, picked up the document and looked at it carefully, then put the document on the table, picked up the arrow and stood up.

"Fourth uncle, where are you going?"

Ning Chengxian asked in confusion.

"Dayan."

"Wait a minute, Fourth Uncle, wait a minute."

Ning Chengxian looked at the arrow in Xiang Quan's hand, and quickly stood up and went forward to grab his uncle.

"If there's anything, we can discuss it when I get back."

Xiang Quan covered his face with a mask in his hand, threw down a few words, and leaped up from the chair in the corridor. In a trance, he disappeared from Ning Chengxian's sight in an instant.

Ning Chengxian thought for a while and returned to the wooden desk, picked up the document in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"Could it be that Changping is in Dayan?"

"No wonder, the one protecting his relatives is the Sixth Prince of Dasheng. But why didn't Xiao Yi go?"

Ning Chengxian held the document in his hand and talked to himself.
