Chapter 1026: Knowledge Chapter 1026: Knowledge Editor: Atlas Studios Hearing that most of the people had left Cining Temple, Mu Yangling grinned mischievously and said to Little Madam Xia smugly, “How is it?
I said that they will definitely leave, right?” “Geez.” Little Madam Xia pointed at her and said, “Fortunately, Fourth Brother and you have a high status.
Otherwise, so people would definitely take offense.” Mu Yangling’s status was high enough, so others wouldn’t think too much about her doing these things and naturally wouldn’t bla her.
However, if she wasn’t the Princess Consort, there would definitely be many people who would criticize her.
Little Madam Xia advised her, “You’re too unsociable.
Actually, they don’t necessarily have anything to request of you.
They just want to see how the upper echelons live or see you in person.
This way, they can show off when they go out and say that they’re knowledgeable, having t with you, the Princess Consort.
Since you’re soft-hearted, why aren’t you willing to fulfill their small wish?” Mu Yangling tilted her head and said, “I’m not avoiding them because I’m afraid that they’ll ask for sothing.
In our position, it must be sothing big if they need to co to .
Since they have sothing to ask of , I’m sure they expect to give sothing in return.
If I can be of help, I’ll naturally help them.
But even if I reject them, no one will dare to bla .
I simply don’t like to play with them because I think it’s a waste of ti.” Mu Yangling counted with her fingers and said, “I have to practice archery, boxing, and check on the experintal fields planted in my garden every day.
I also have to worry about Haoran and the children, and practice calligraphy and painting.
Recently, I’ve been planning to hire a female teacher to teach how to play the zither.
Every ti Haoran and the children have a break, I have to go out for a picnic.
Also, I have to accompany you to shop.
Considering I’m so busy, do I really have to et with random people every other day and listen to them make small talk?” Every ti Mu Yangling counted an item off her fingers, Little Madam Xia held her stomach and laughed even louder.
After she finished speaking, she nudged her.
“I didn’t expect our Princess Consort to be such a busy person.” “Of course!” Seeing her tsundere expression, Little Madam Xia said, “You shouldn’t think of these as unimportant small talk.
These are all connections and information.
Even though it’s the n doing official duties out there, the won behind them are a strong pillar of support for them.” Although Little Madam Xia had a weak personality, she had received the education of a young lady from a wealthy family since she was young and knew the importance of socializing with other won.
“Which family is in-laws with which family?
Are they ex-classmates?
How’s their relationship?
Such information might be hidden from the n in front, but it can’t escape the woman behind him.
Sotis, a piece of information heard from other won can help turn the situation around for one’s husband, so don’t underestimate this social interaction.” Mu Yangling looked at her in amusent.
“Then what useful information have you provided to Cousin in the past few years?” Little Madam Xia was a little embarrassed and said, “I’m not good enough at such stuff yet.
Besides, you should know your cousin well enough to know that he doesn’t let interfere in his work.” Mu Yangling leaned close to her ear and said, “If our family is an ordinary family of officials, it’s not wrong for us to interact more with those won and collect more information.
However, since Haoran is a Prince and commands a huge army, it’s more reassuring to have a peaceful inner estate.
I don’t want him to be picked on by the imperial censor every other day.
Although we’re not afraid and won’t take it to heart, no one will feel good getting impeached.” Little Madam Xia now understood why Mu Yangling didn’t want to interact with the officials’ wives here.
Firstly, she didn’t like it.
Secondly, there was no need.
Thirdly, it was troubleso!
“My bad.
The Prince’s estate doesn’t need to go out to socialize with the officials’ wives around here.” “You don’t have to force yourself either.
If you like it, sit with them.
If you don’t, you don’t have to hang out with them.” Mu Yangling lowered her voice and said, “Considering Zijin and Haoran are in charge of the intelligence network, is there anything they don’t know?” Little Madam Xia’s eyebrows twitched and she nodded.
More than half of the people had left the mountain.
The ones who remained were either very determined to please or sincerely revered Buddha.
The forr would not deliberately cause trouble for the nobles, and the latter was even more chill.
Therefore, after a day of excitent in the mountain, it suddenly quietened down.
The six children could finally have fun.
Mu Yangling and Little Madam Xia also sat quietly on the futon and listened to the scriptures for half a day.
They were in a peaceful mood.
When they saw Mrs.
Yan and the others, Mu Yangling smiled and invited them to admire the plum blossoms together.
Surprised to receive such an honor, Mrs.
Yan and the others all looked excited.
After yesterday’s conversation, Third Madam Chen and the others revered Mu Yangling very much.
They looked at Mu Yangling with sparkling eyes, causing Little Madam Xia to look at them a few tis.
She almost thought that they were lechers who had disguised themselves as won and sneaked in.
Mu Yangling naturally sensed Little Madam Xia’s gaze.
She looked back curiously and saw that the person who t her eyes could not help but lower her head and smile shyly.
Mu Yangling: “…” Seeing that Third Madam Chen’s face was red, Mu Yangling couldn’t help but feel her hand itch.
She reached out and raised her chin, asking, “Could it be that I’ve beco an elegant young master after staying at Cining Temple for a night?” Otherwise, why would she blush from her gaze?
All the madams were shocked.
As Mu Yangling was not considered old, the people who ca here were all young won in their early twenties.
Mrs.
Yan was considered older among them, but even then she was only in her early thirties.
At this mont, when she saw Mu Yangling teasing Third Madam Chen frivolously, she couldn’t help but blush, too.
Third Madam Chen, whose chin was lifted by her, was so shy that her face and neck turned red.
She was only 22 years old this year.
Even if her son was already five years old, this was the first ti she had been teased like this.
Having been teased by Mu Yangling for the past few years, Little Madam Xia was already used to it.
She burst out laughing and slapped her hand away.
She chided, “Don’t scare Third Madam Chen.” Little Madam Xia pulled Third Madam Chen over and said with a smile, “Don’t mind her.
She gets a little unruly sotis and doesn’t have any ill intentions.
It’s fate that everyone can gather together today.
If it were soone else who was well-versed in poetry, they might be able to get everyone started on reciting poems while admiring the plum blossoms.
However, we sisters-in-law are boorish and don’t know how to compose poems.
So let’s just sit down and talk.
And since I brought so good tea, I’ve asked a servant girl to brew it for everyone to try.” Everyone hurriedly humbled themselves.
After this commotion, the atmosphere beca much more relaxed.
Mu Yangling did not put on airs and chatted with them for a while.
Right now, the hottest topic in Guangzhou was the Westerners.
So people could not help but ask about Mu Yangling’s attitude towards the Westerners.
Mu Yangling did not hide anything and told them everything she could say.
After everyone beca less restrained after drinking so tea, Mu Yangling curiously went to Third Madam Chen’s side and asked, “Why were you looking at like that just now?” Third Madam Chen was considered the smartest person in this group.
When she heard this, she wasn’t as shy as before.
She replied loudly, “We heard that Your Highness has divine strength and couldn’t help but be in awe.
Who knew a glance would make Your Highness tease us?” Mu Yangling laughed out loud and said, “You don’t suffer a loss in any case.
I’m even more handso than Prince Rong when I wear n’s clothes.” “Then is it true that Your Highness has divine strength?” Third Madam Chen felt that she was also more handso than her husband in n’s clothes, so she wasn’t curious about this.
Mu Yangling looked around and saw that there were many large rocks scattered around the plum garden, probably left behind from the past.
Although the nuns in the temple had spent a lot of effort to plant a garden full of plum trees, they had not cleared away these stones.
Now, two or three of them had been ground very clean, allowing people to sit down and rest.
However, there were still a few large and uneven rocks scattered around.
They were neither easy to move nor polish into seats.
Mu Yangling walked around the garden and said to the reception nun, “I know a little about the art of the five elents.
If you don’t mind, I’ll help you build a fake mountain on this hurdle.” The reception nun hurriedly bowed and said, “I have to ask the abbess.” Mu Yangling nodded and allowed her to leave to ask.
Huining quickly rushed over and nodded secretly when she saw the location Mu Yangling had chosen.
Seeing that the Princess Consort had chosen a good spot, she agreed.
Anyway, the rocks scattered around here got in people’s way.
Hence, everyone watched as Mu Yangling rolled up her sleeves and easily moved the big rocks over.
She even asked them for their opinion on how it looked.
If the arrangent didn’t look nice, she would pick up the rocks and adjust them again.
Soon, she finished building a rockery that was as tall as two people.
Everyone’s mouths were wide open.
Why did they think that the Princess Consort was not carrying a large rock, but a small stone that children played with?
