5.71 Too many girls are troublesome

After an unsatisfactory lunch, Zhou Yang stood up and saluted Princess Yongjing, who was helping Xue Baochai leave with a smile. He almost stared at Princess Yongchang with a murderous gaze, who was doing things and watching the show. Naturally, it was useless, let alone others. Ignoring him at all, the two people who just left also needed his comfort.

"Jia Zanshan, why don't you send General Zhou to the East Crossing Courtyard?" Princess Yongchang ordered with an upturned corner of her mouth, full of mockery, and then stood up and returned to the bedroom, leaving someone who had reacted and was in a mess in the wind.

Only then did he remember that although this place had been called the "Princess Mansion" by him, it was actually a private residence purchased by Guo Rong. The real "Princess Mansion" was a princess-style house given by the royal family when she got married to Huang Sheng. The mansion, except for less than half a year in the beginning, is still empty, with only some maids and eunuchs guarding and maintaining it.

The private house in front of him is naturally not a small house, but a standard courtyard with three entrances and three exits across the east and west courtyards. Guo Rong naturally uses the main courtyard and the backyard is the bedroom, so Jia Yingchun, who is a good person, lives in the wing room. The west courtyard is similar to the combination of a garden and an inner study, so Dongfang Bing lives there; but there is also an east courtyard, which Zhou Yang has visited so many times, but has never been inside!

"It's always the same in the east courtyard." Seeing that even the maids were gone, Zhou Yang quickly asked Jia Yingchun.

"The east courtyard is housed by His Highness Yongjing." The second girl nodded quickly, "There are only five main rooms, three side rooms against the east wall, and five reverse rooms. Whenever His Highness Yongjing leaves the palace, he will be there. Living there, there are only ten or eight days in a month, and even if she doesn't come, no one will be able to use it; Sister Bao, as His Highness's attendant, lives in three wing rooms."

"Second sister, you've learned too much." Zhou Yang said with a sad face.

"How dare little sister." Jia Yingchun quickly saluted.

"If you straighten your tongue and take back the upturned corners of your mouth, I will really believe you." Zhou Yang took the girl in his arms, gave her a long kiss, and then hurriedly ran eastward across the courtyard, leaving behind Some laughing stoop doormat.

As Yingchun said, there are only a few houses in the east and west courtyards. The main body is a large garden. Even in October, there is still a lot of tenacious green. The house in the back is a servant, and you don't have to ask. Zhou Yang stood in front of the main room door with a wry smile on his face, and carefully looked at the side room door which was also closed tightly. It would be troublesome if there were too many girls, and he really didn't know how to choose.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out which one to choose. Zhou Yang finally gritted his teeth and made the adult choice. He directly opened the door of the east wing and picked up the startled Sister Bao, regardless of her littleness. After resisting, he turned around and went out. After striding into the main room, he placed the girl next to Princess Yongjing who was already sleeping under the brocade quilt. But after all, he still had sense and did not have the courage to lift the quilt.

"Brother Zhou, have you thought clearly?" Princess Yongjing took a pillow for herself, stood up gently and leaned on the head of the bed. She glanced at someone with an upturned corner of her mouth, and then looked at the person whose head was buried in the quilt with shame and anger. Xue Baochai said, "Although I will definitely not miss Sister Bao from now on, I don't want to serve her together now."

"Now do you think of being reserved?" At this point, Zhou Yang still couldn't see it. This was the calculation of the two princesses and sisters, so he naturally felt confident when he spoke, "With Baochai's intelligence, how can he not see it? Is this a problem? But she still lets you bully her. It would be better if you still have the nerve to say, "It won't be a mistake."

Okay, Sister Bao, please get up first. I just brought you here to talk together. We will be a family in the future and we will be inseparable for life. If you have some thoughts and she has some calculations, it will not be easy for you in the future. ?It's better to sit down together, break it apart, smash it, and explain it thoroughly, so as to save future messes. "

"Brother Zhou makes it easy." Xue Baochai let him hold her in his arms, with the shame that could not be concealed still remained on her pretty face, "My little sister is a merchant's daughter, how can she have the courage to discuss anything with Her Highness the Princess? Anyway, she is not allowed to do anything. You bully and manipulate me, just like today, even if I don’t want to, I still want to do it.”

"You!" Zhou Yang hugged the girl tightly and kissed her for a long time. Then he looked at Princess Yongjing who was already pouting and said, "Sister Bao is the one I vowed to take care of for the rest of my life. Naturally I will not break my promise. Xuan'er, you are in a special situation here. , No matter what the reason is, we will never be separated in this life, why should we care about our lack of identity?"

"Hmph, I even let out the girl who served me since I was a child, just to make room for Sister Bao. Could it be something else?" Princess Yongjing gave him a white look, raised her slender hand and pointed to the door and said, "Zhou The general will leave alone, and we sisters will have private conversations. Although I have my own status, I still dare not forget the rule of 'the husband sings and the wife follows'."

"I said you -" Zhou Yang was dumbfounded by her tone that was completely inappropriate for his age, "You are from Longwu 37 years old, right? Where did you learn such exquisite naughtiness? You don't even want to talk. I’m busy, I’ll finish talking to Sister Bao first—let’s go.”

Now that a basic agreement had been reached, Zhou Yang picked up Xue Baochai and returned to the east wing. This time, Sister Baochai was obviously calmer and allowed him to carry her back to the bedroom without saying anything. She also took the initiative to adjust her posture to save Ailang energy.

"Brother Zhou, just go back. My little sister is very good here. Don't bother me to worry about it." After letting Ai Lang taste it for a long time, Xue Baochai said in a gentle tone, "The sisters in Fuzhong over there still need big brother to take care of them. I heard His Highness Yongchang say , The military is equally busy with important matters, so I don’t dare to delay important events, I just hope that my eldest brother will not let him down."

"Are you planning to never go home again in this life?" Zhou Yang revealed Xue Baochai's thoughts with one sentence and made her expression stiff. "Come back with me. No matter how nice this place is, it is still a princess's mansion. That side is your own." Home."

"Brother Zhou, please spare my little sister!" Xue Baochai smiled bitterly, raised her pretty face and said, "My little sister understands what big brother means. I'm afraid things will be different when I go back this time; give me some more time." Okay?" "That's okay!" Zhou Yang sighed lightly on the outside, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He hugged the girl and tasted it carefully. He reluctantly let go after a long time, "I'll give you some more time, but sooner or later You have to go back with me!"

"Yes!" Xue Baochai nodded hesitantly, "Please send me to His Highness!"

Zhou Yang stopped talking nonsense, picked up the girl and returned to Princess Yongjing's bedroom. After doing some ink, he went directly to Princess Yongchang's room and tidied up in one breath for more than half an hour. By the way, he took Yingchun to practice with her throughout the whole process, until the two girls helplessly sang. "24 Bridges with a Bright Moon Night" just left, just sneaking a sore waist after going out.

"Sister Bao, have you thought clearly?" Just after someone left, Princess Yongjing got into Xue Baochai's arms with a smile, found a comfortable position and smiled, "Little sister knows that some things will happen sooner or later, but she can't let him do it. Do whatever you want; just like the imperial sister, in all dynasties has there ever been an example of one person favoring two princesses? But I still endured it.

But even so, we can't let him think that this is a matter of course. If he doesn't feel a little guilty, will our sisters be allowed to be bullied by him in the future?My younger sister has also heard the imperial sister mention the matters at her elder sister's home. I just hope her elder sister can look away. In fact, it is in the palace that things really make you unbelievable. "

"At a time like this, there is nothing I can't bear to see." Xue Baochai sighed, gently hugged Princess Yongjing and said, "When my father, Brother He Zhou, made the decision, how could he have thought that it would only take two years? , he is already a general of the fourth rank in the imperial court? If he had known this earlier, how could he?"

"Good sister, if you really knew this, what would you do?" Princess Yongjing teased with a smile.

"." Xue Baochai didn't say anything, but slowly lowered his head, his cheeks as red as rouge.

At the same time, Princess Yongchang's bedroom.

"Princess!" Yingchun carefully helped Princess Yongchang, who frowned slightly, to sit up, and said in a soft tone, "Brother Zhou has left, but do you want me to help you freshen up?"

"Huh - wait a minute, I can take a breath." Since Princess Yongchang had plotted against someone, she was naturally dealt with badly. Not only was her whole body sore, her face was completely lost in front of her own Zanshan, "He Do you agree to get your affairs done as soon as possible?"

"Yes, princess!" Yingchun nodded quickly.

"Okay, although this cruel man has a bit of a temper, he is reliable after all." Princess Yongchang shook her head helplessly, "If there is any trouble, just tell me, and I will come forward in my name and ask your house to agree." It’s difficult; if it doesn’t work, I’ll transfer you to that girl Yongjing’s name, and you can go there together when she goes out.”

"Your Highness, Princess Yongjing is nothing but now." Yingchun persuaded softly.

"This girl was born in the 37th year of Longwu. She is indeed a little young, but if we don't take care of the matter, it's hard to say what the future will be like." Princess Yongchang said helplessly, "The official position of the fourth rank is nothing. A young and handsome man in his early twenties There are some, and it is not uncommon for a son and brother to be the most wealthy in the world, but if he has all three, it is difficult to find the second one in the whole world.

Although it is true that I have a lot of grace for him to gain momentum in the beginning, if he is incapable, isn't that precious egg in your house clear enough?The royal family is not serious about having no taboos, and they often have to give in. If another family takes a fancy to her, and if the conditions are right and the royal brother or even the father accepts her, it will be really troublesome! "

"Who in the world has the guts to argue with the Tian family?" Yingchun said in disbelief.

"If only everything in the world could be as easy as you said." Princess Yongchang shook her head helplessly, "Not to mention the distance, but there are two girls in that cruel man's yard, not to mention the second wife of the Xue family. If another member of the family opens his mouth, not even the emperor can refuse. If it really comes to that, what will Xuan'er do?"

"Sister Lin is just borrowing." Yingchun obviously didn't believe it.

"Idiot, so what if I'm just staying here? Even if that cruel Renqiu is innocent, why don't you hear about the old story of Zhao Kuangyin sending Zhao Jingniang away?" Princess Yongchang said angrily.

"what?"
