The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

The carriage drove into the inner courtyard and stopped in front of a courtyard. A brand new plaque was hung next to the gate of the courtyard, with "Shuangxinju" written on it.

Yan Muxi then paid attention to the name of the courtyard she lived in. When she went out in the morning, she saw a large tree that didn't match the other flowers and plants in the courtyard. She thought this should be the courtyard she had been to last time, but now she was not so sure.

Seeing her staring at the newly replaced plaque, Yu Wantai tried to test her feelings, "The name of the courtyard is new. If the Crown Prince's wife doesn't like it, you can change it to one you like."

"No, I like it very much. There's no need to change it." Yan Muxi said she liked it, but she felt like vomiting in her heart.

She was sure that this was the 'Nian Yin Pavilion' she had been to before. It was because of her marriage that Prince Gou temporarily changed the name of the courtyard to 'Shuang Xin Ju'.

Bullshit double-heartedness, whoever wants to be confidant with the damn prince can do so, she doesn’t care.

As soon as they sat down at the door, Nanny Guan came over to relay Princess Rong's words, "The princess specifically instructed that the prince and princess do not need to go to Zhuxiang Hall to pay their respects, and can go there at the evening meal."

"Thank you, Madam Guan. Did Madam ask you to convey anything else?"

"The Crown Prince's Consort has just married. I was planning to mention some of the details in two days, but I was afraid that the Crown Prince's Consort would be unsure. I thought it would be better to explain everything now."

Yan Muxi's heart was slightly lifted, "Mom, just tell me what you want to say."

"I'm afraid the Crown Prince's wife has also seen that there are not many servants serving in the palace. Including the old servant, there are only five people serving the princess personally. There are even fewer people around the Crown Prince, with only three or four followers, and not even a maid to serve him personally. If the Crown Prince's wife feels that there are not enough people serving in the courtyard, she can buy some more people in from outside. After all, she needs to personally select the people around her to feel at ease." Mother Guan explained in detail.

Yan Muxi thought for a moment and asked, "Are these words also what mother meant?"

Mother Guan nodded, "Yes, the princess originally planned to buy some people in before the wedding of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, but then she was worried that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess would not like them and would not be convenient to use, so she thought about choosing them herself after the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess got married."

"Please tell Mother that I have brought many servants with me as a dowry, so I will not buy anything from outside for the time being," Yan Muxi said halfway through, "Forget it, I'll tell Mother in person later! Thank you for your hard work, Mother."

After sending Nanny Guan away, Yin Xia couldn't hide her joy. "I was originally worried that some restless servants would be assigned to the courtyard, especially those who wanted to climb into the master's bed. Now I am not afraid at all. The servants who came with the young lady's dowry are still waiting in the outer courtyard. I will arrange for them to serve in the inner courtyard tomorrow."

"Hush, keep your voice down!" Yan Muxi covered her lips with her fingers, indicating that the walls had ears, and spoke in a voice so low that it was barely audible, "There are more than a dozen beautiful courtesans in the backyard of the palace, why should we be on guard against a useless maid!"

Yinxia felt that her young lady was being too cautious. "The prince has gone to the study. He must not be able to hear us talking from a distance."

"It's better to be careful." Yan Muxi intuitively felt that Yu Wantai was not the useless person he appeared to be.

Apart from anything else, Yu Wantai was probably skilled in martial arts. She still remembered the day when she went to Hua Manlou to look for someone. When Dong Yu kicked her, she didn't even see how Yu Wantai attacked, and he easily helped her dodge Dong Yu's kick.

People who practice martial arts have sharper ears and eyes than ordinary people, so it is very necessary for them to be careful and vigilant in daily life.

It would be inappropriate to go to eat at mealtime, so Yan Muxi took a short rest and then planned to go out to Zhuxiangtang.

"The prince asked Miss to wait for him for a moment." Dongyu came in and replied. Meeting Yinxia's warning eyes, he quickly changed his words, "The prince asked the princess to wait for him for a moment. He said he wanted to go to Zhuxiangtang with the princess."

"Okay, got it!" Yan Muxi responded weakly, as if all his energy had been drained away in an instant.

Yinxia found it funny. Other newlyweds wanted to stick together all the time, but when her own young lady mentioned the prince, her pretty face fell as if she had bad luck.

On the way to Zhuxiang Hall, the couple still walked separately, two steps apart. After passing through the garden and turning the corner, they could see a person sitting on the lake in the distance.

When she got closer, Yan Muxi recognized that the person on the lake was the old Prince Rong. She quickly knelt down to greet him, "Your daughter-in-law greets your father."

Old Prince Rong was wearing a half-worn cotton-padded jacket made of fine cloth, with his gray hair hanging loosely on the back of his head. At first glance, he looked no different from an ordinary old farmer.

"It's cold on the ice, Xi girl, you don't need to come over, go into the yard and find your mother!" After saying this, the old Prince Rong looked at Yu Wantai, "Would the prince be willing to stay and fish with an old man like me?"

After a moment of silence, Yu Wantai replied calmly, "I am willing to do what my father asks."

It was obvious that the father and son had something to say, and Yan Muxi was not a tactless person, so he immediately bowed and left.

In the Zhuxiang Hall, Princess Rong was sitting on a low couch by the window of the east wing doing needlework. Seeing Yan Muxi come in, she said happily, "Why are you here so early? It's been a hard trip to the palace. You should have rested a little before coming here."

"We rode in a carriage and a sedan chair the whole way and didn't walk much at all. My daughter-in-law is not tired." Yan Muxi knelt down and bowed.

Princess Rong scolded, "They say that family members should not be so formal. I really don't want to bother with these rules... Come and sit down, and take a look at my embroidered insect pattern."

Yan Muxi performed the blessing ceremony before walking over. She did not dare to sit on the couch. She stood beside Princess Rong in a proper manner. "Mother, your embroidery is so good. When I saw it suddenly, I thought it was a real big insect running out of the forest."

In fact, Princess Rong's embroidery work was very ordinary. If she hadn't mentioned the big insect she embroidered, Yan Muxi would have thought it was a flower bear.

"You can just coax me. I know my embroidery skills very well. When I was young, my family was in a difficult situation and I had no conditions to learn embroidery. Later, I entered the palace and got in touch with embroidery. After I had Tai'er, I threw all my heart on him. Later, my body was seriously injured and I didn't have much time to hold a needle."

Princess Rong pulled Yan Muxi to sit down beside the low couch and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Look at your cold hands, Xixi. I heard from Mother Guan that you have your period. You can't stand the cold during your period. Take off your shoes and get on the couch to warm up."

Facing the soft peach blossom eyes full of concern, Yan Muxi felt warm in her heart, but couldn't help feeling a little bitter, "My daughter-in-law is not cold."

There was only a blanket on the low couch. Yan Muxi felt that her relationship with Princess Rong was not yet to the point where they could sleep on the same bed and under the same quilt. After all, she and her mother had never shared a bed or a quilt together.

"Come up and sit down even if you're not cold. It's still early for dinner! Your feet will get cold if you just sit down there." Princess Rong saw that Yan Muxi didn't move, "Do you need my mother to help you take off your shoes before you are willing to come up?" She made a gesture to get off the couch.

Yan Muxi didn't dare ask her mother-in-law to take off her shoes, so she quickly kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the couch.

Princess Rong was not like other rich and powerful ladies who would chat about clothes, jewelry and family gossip when they met. She chattered on and on about all kinds of food and common sense of life, just like a close elder, without the slightest airs.

Yan Muxi was a little nervous at first, but she relaxed after a while.

Just like the first time they met, she always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Princess Rong, and it was a very close sense of familiarity.

But she searched through her childhood memories and couldn't find any trace of Princess Rong. Moreover, she was not in Luodu when she was young, and was thousands of miles away from Princess Rong, so the possibility of them having met was unlikely.

The so-called sense of closeness and familiarity might just be the unusual affinity between you!
