The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Mo Fuchen didn't ask any more questions. Instead, Yizhu looked at Mo Fuchen with great curiosity.

Mo Yuchen saw Yizhu's reaction and realized his mistake. He returned to his original expression as if nothing had happened: "Okay, let's go back home."

Xia Yanxiang did not return to the Xia Mansion for several days, and the imperial edict came down, and the time for Xia Yanxiang to be carried into Prince Yuan's Mansion was set on the tenth day of July.

Mo Yuchen was quite surprised when he heard the news. He didn't expect Xia Yanxiang to guess so accurately.

However, since the date for Xia Pinxiang to move into Prince Yuan's Palace has been set, Tu, as the principal wife, can no longer live in the general's mansion and must go back to handle affairs.

However, Xia Yanxiang did not need to go back, and Xia Zhibai did not want Xia Yanxiang to go back, worried that she would be bullied by Xia Pinxiang and the second aunt.

Xia Yanxiang didn't know that Xia Zhibai actually thought this way. She was thinking that if Xia Pinxiang came to show off to her after she returned, she would let Xia Pinxiang taste the dangers of society.

It’s a pity that before Tu left, she instructed Xia Zhibai to let Xia Yanxiang stay in the general’s mansion for a while and not to rush back.

Xia Yanxiang was a little worried, so she asked Tinglan to go back with her.

Tinglan has always been a steady person, so Xia Yanxiang feels relieved to know that she is going back with Tu.

At night, Xia Yanxiang was about to go to bed when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the window. She was so startled that she woke up from her sleep and asked vigilantly, "Who?"

"Don't be afraid, Miss Third, it's Xiao Wang." It was Mo Yuchen's voice outside the window. Maybe Xia Yanxiang was too sleepy and didn't smell anything.

"What are you doing here, Prince Luo, sneaking into the general's mansion so late at night?" Although Mo Yuchen was an acquaintance, his habit of sneaking into other people's houses at every turn was indeed not a good thing.

Mo Yuchen was just curious about Xia Yanxiang's guess today, so he couldn't help but secretly climb over the wall into the general's mansion in the middle of the night and accurately found Xia Yanxiang's room.

"The time for the concubine to enter Prince Yuan's mansion has been determined. I am just curious. Miss Third's prediction of this matter was too accurate. Was there any plan?"

Xia Yanxiang found it unbelievable. What was Mo Yuchen thinking? Didn’t she plan this only with him?

"What nonsense are you talking about, Your Highness? Instead of speculating about your subject, Your Highness should think about how to find Yang Fan."

Listening to Xia Yanxiang's words, Mo Yuchen was speechless for a moment, but that was true. Although Mo Yuchen was curious about how Xia Yanxiang did it, now was not the time to pursue these things. The important thing was to find that person first.

"Miss Third, I am the one who offended you. Please forgive me." Mo Yuchen said apologetically.

Xia Yanxiang didn't want to get too entangled with Mo Yuchen. She just wanted to sleep now, so she quickly said to Mo Yuchen, "If your Highness Prince Luo has nothing to do, why don't you go back to sleep? I'm tired, so I won't chat with your Highness Prince Luo any more."

Mo Yuchen seemed to realize that he had disturbed others' sleep, and said apologetically: "It is Xiao Wang who is abrupt. Miss Third, please have a good rest. Xiao Wang will take his leave first."

Xia Yanxiang listened attentively, and after making sure that Mo Yuchen had left, she put down the things in her hands and fell asleep with peace of mind.

Mo Yuyang left the palace early today. He asked the emperor for an order to set the date for the concubine to enter the palace as soon as possible. He didn't want to spend too much energy on this. After all, Xia Pinxiang was a concubine's daughter and was not raised under the Tu family. She could not restrain the General's Mansion and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion at all and was of no use at all.

What made him even angrier was that Xia Yanxiang was unharmed. Now that he had taken Xia Pinxiang as his concubine, he could no longer marry Xia Yanxiang as his principal wife.

Isn't this just giving Xia Yanxiang to Mo Yuchen for no reason?

When Mo Yuyang returned to Prince Yuan's Mansion, he was so angry that he couldn't stand it.

Zi Yu was his personal bodyguard. Seeing Mo Yuyang's bad face, he could probably guess why: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry. Although the concubine has entered the mansion, she is still a concubine after all. Your princess will definitely have a higher status in the future. If you don't want this concubine, of course there is a way."

It's not that Mo Yuyang hasn't thought of a solution, but it would be too hasty to implement it now, and it would also arouse suspicion from the emperor and others.

What's more, she was his first concubine, who died just after marrying into Prince Yuan's Mansion. This might be detrimental to his reputation.

Mo Yuyang shook his head irritably, walked into the study, and said to Zi Yu, "Prepare the pens and ink."

Zi Yu went downstairs to prepare pen and ink as instructed.

Mo Yuyang picked up the pen and wrote four words: From my uncle.

Xia Pinxiang got the exact time and was so proud that her tail seemed to be sticking up. She had been thinking that Xia Yanxiang would come back home one day so that she could show off in front of her. However, she didn't expect that Xia Yanxiang didn't come back at all. Only Tu had to come back to preside over the affairs due to the rules.

The Second Aunt was not so proud. Instead, she was worried. I guess she had figured out the meaning of the imperial edict.

Xia Liu didn't expect that Xia Yanxiang didn't come back. She wanted to question Tu and ask if she had taught Xia Yanxiang bad things. But when she remembered that it was Xia Zhibai who kept Xia Yanxiang, Xia Liu didn't dare to say anything.

The governess sent by the palace also brought a lot of good things, including the priceless Tuanjin. Although there was only one, Tuanjin was rare in production, so having such a horse was already a great blessing.

Even a young general like Xia Zhibai, who had made great contributions, only had a few pieces of such brocade in his mansion.

The reward from the palace could be considered as a betrothal gift to Xia Pinxiang. Although it was not as grand as that for a principal wife, it was already considered superior among concubines. After all, she was a concubine appointed by the emperor himself, unlike the ones that the prince took himself.

Xia Pinxiang was in the backyard admiring the rewards sent from the palace, and she kept a close eye on the servants as they registered these things, fearing that someone would steal them.

Even though it was her own sister Xia Jianxiang, she was still worried. As soon as she heard that Xia Jianxiang was coming, she immediately went to guard those things.

Xia Qianxiang also got the news, but she was not interested in it. She could only choose a suitable gift for Xia Pinxiang under the guidance of her aunt.

However, Xia Pinxiang had been favored by Xia Liu since she was a child. Everything she had was the best in the mansion. She didn't even look at the things Xia Qianxiang sent her, and she only accepted them to show her magnanimity.

Obviously, unlike Xia Pinxiang, the second aunt was worried all day long. Xia Pinxiang was puzzled and asked doubtfully: "Mother, what are you worried about? Your daughter is going to marry His Royal Highness Prince Yuan. Aren't you happy for your daughter?"

Yang Jin sighed, and then said: "Pin'er, although your marriage was arranged by the emperor, the wedding date is so hasty. It is obvious that His Royal Highness Prince Yuan has no good intentions towards you. You should be careful."
