Steward Shi followed behind respectfully, "Princess, Qingya Pavilion has been cleaned up by this old servant. The emperor's decree came a little hastily, but this old servant has prepared everything that should be prepared. She blocked out the fact that the small-leaf red sandalwood furniture was taken away and sold by Rong Jing.

"It's okay. I can't stay for long. I'll leave once the conflict with the Sun family is resolved."

Butler Shi's cloudy old eyes flickered a few times as he stared at his cuffs that were worn white and full of small holes. "Oh no! His life and the lives of the people in the mansion have just started to improve. The day before yesterday, everyone ate a few pieces of fat and they were all gone."

Mu Xi suddenly thought of something, stopped and looked at Butler Shi, "Does King Ding'an know?"

"My princess, Prince Ding'an is a famous idle prince in Kyoto. He is extremely rich. His father is the fourth uncle of the current emperor. Prince Ding'an owns a large area of ​​forests, especially small-leaf red sandalwood, which is the best material for furniture.

Mr. An bought a lot of wood from him, made various furniture, and gave them to the dignitaries in Kyoto!"

"Oh, small-leaf red sandalwood is also called the wood of kings. An inch of sandalwood is worth a pound of gold. It is similar to huanghuali." Mu Xi added that this kind of wood is also top-quality in modern times. "By the way, how are the family members of Prince Ding'an?"

Steward Shi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Princess Ding'an was seriously ill last year, so Prince Ding'an married a beautiful woman. I heard she was the daughter of Grand Secretary Xia. What's her name..."

"Xia Yuyan!" Mu Xi blurted out.

"Yes, that's the name. The princess is so smart and knows everything!" Butler Shi pinched himself secretly. He always felt that he was a little rude. Why did he tell the princess about this? Xia Yuyan was the girl that the prince liked. They had been looking forward to each other for ten years, but now she was sent to the bed of Prince Ding'an by the An family. It would be strange if the prince was not angry.

After many twists and turns, we came to a courtyard. On the lintel of the house was written:

~Qingya Pavilion~

The yard was clean and tidy. There were side rooms on both sides of the main house, one of which was a small kitchen. Muxi was quite satisfied.

Two maids came out of the kitchen carrying food and curtseyed, "Princess!"

Mu Xi looked at the two maids carefully and found that they were the two girls who were cutting cloth in the guards' room yesterday. Their faces were pale and thin, as if they had just recovered from a serious illness. They were both good-looking, but they were a little thin.

Steward Shi stepped forward and said, "Princess, this is Cuizhu, and this is Meilan. They are both family-born children. They will serve you from today on!"

"Whatever, boil some water. I want to take a bath to get rid of the bad luck!" After saying that, he walked into the main room.

"Princess, the bath water is ready!" Cuizhu said.

When I walked into the inner room, I found that all the furnishings in the room were as ordinary as they could be. Even the screen had a hole in it and was patched up, and the embroidery on it was a large piece of bamboo.

I saw a big bucket of hot water behind the screen.

Mu Xi showed a long-lost smile, took off all her clothes, and jumped into the tub. When the water level was above her head, she felt that the world immediately became quiet. Looking at the band-aids on her arms and the bruises on her shoulders, she immediately got out of the water after a string of bubbles emerged. That psychopath, he was only capable of competing with a woman!!!

"Princess, can I rub your back?" Mei Lan walked in. When she saw Mu Xi's crystal clear and moist skin and the bruises on her shoulders, her eyes lit up and her face flushed. No wonder she could be a princess. She was also a woman, but she looked like a bean sprout.

"No, I can do it myself!" Mu Xi refused outright. She didn't want her to see the big Band-Aid on her body and if it got to that pervert, who knows what kind of trouble might happen.

"Okay, the princess needs to call the servant!"

"What should I wear later?"

"Yesterday evening, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent two large boxes of the prince and princess's casual and official uniforms. You can wear your casual clothes when you enter the palace!"

"Go down!" Mu Xi rubbed his shoulders hard, trying to rub off the bruises.

After taking a shower, changing the bandage on the wound, putting on clean clothes and sitting on the dressing table, she found that the bronze mirror on it was deformed. Looking at her own hideous face, a trace of sneer flashed through her heart. How did she end up in such an embarrassing situation? It seems that she should have a good talk with the Sun family when she has the chance. She didn't kill anyone, so why were they chasing her? Otherwise, why would her old father go to such great lengths to send her here?

Meilan and Cuizhu came over with a tray, "Princess, let us comb your hair and change your clothes."

"it is good!"

Mei Lan had very deft hands, and in a short while she had combed a very elegant bun. Mu Xi didn't know what the bun was called. On top of the bun was a golden hat with a string of golden beads in the middle, and a red stamen on each side. The stamens were surrounded by golden petals, which trembled when moved, and looked very beautiful.

Cuizhu picked up a bright red dress from the tray and helped Muxi put it on. This dress was high-end and classy, ​​low-key and luxurious, and much higher in class than the red skirt she wore yesterday.

Mu Xi patiently watched the two maids busying themselves on her.

After getting dressed, I walked to the outer room and found that there was only a bowl of white rice porridge, a plate of small salted cucumbers, and two boiled eggs on the dining table, nothing else.

"Just eat this?"

Muxi was a little angry. There were at least four kinds of food in the morning at An Mansion. Every morning there was either bird's nest, dumplings, egg custard, or at least various small pastries.

Steward Shi laughed, "Princess, the prince also eats rice porridge and eggs in the morning!"

Mu Xi sat on the chair, drank a mouthful of white rice porridge, and took a bite of a choking cucumber. "Is the family of the great-grandson still here?"

"Yes, but there are fewer people."

After dinner, Mu Xi walked out of Qingya Pavilion and headed towards the gate. The flowers that the prince had probably waited for had all wilted.
