Chapter 428: An invitation to the Southern Palace?
In the South Palace, because it is the emperor Nan Batian who is holding a birthday banquet for the South King, early in the morning, the imperial kitchen in the palace came to the South Palace, and at ten o'clock in the morning, there were guests who came one after another, because the South King did not like to make noise, the officials below the first grade in the court were not invited, and the officials on the first rank finally got such an opportunity to come to the South Palace, so they naturally prepared a generous gift, and brought their daughters to the banquet.
Nanwangfu is the largest in the mansion of all the princes and princes in the capital, back then, Nan Batian has not yet ascended the throne, the first emperor gave the Nan Batian's mansion when he was still the prince, and later Nan Batian expanded and repaired this mansion, and gave it to His Royal Highness the South King to live, and now the Nanwang Mansion alone occupies an area twice as large as the Zuo Xiangfu, not to mention the furnishings in this mansion, which is unique and beautiful, comparable to the palace.
As soon as the daughters of those officials above the second grade entered here, they were even more excited than entering the palace, they had been to the palace, but this Nanwang Mansion, they were still here for the first time!
Before Mu Yueli arrived at the Nanwang Mansion, she could lift the curtain on the side of the carriage, and look at the soon-to-be-completed mansion next to the Nanwang Mansion on the carriage, the corners of her mouth rose, this is her future home! Cousin Murong's progress is so fast, in less than three months alone, it is almost completed, and it will not be long before they can move into this mansion at any time!
As soon as the carriage stopped, the excitement in the Nanwang Mansion came out, Mu Yueli got out of the carriage, and Mo Yu greeted her, "Third Miss, the prince instructed Moyu to greet the third Miss here, and the Third Miss, please follow Moyu into the mansion." ”
"That's how I thanked Moyu. Mu Yueli nodded in thanks.
Mo Yu thought of the prince's explanation, there are many people in the Nanwang Mansion today, and he needs to follow the master every inch to protect the master's safety.
Mu Yueli entered the Nanwang Mansion, and saw Murong Jinyun at first sight, on such an occasion, he was Mu Yueli's identity, naturally he couldn't recognize Murong Jinyun, the two saw each other, just a glance met, and they both understood each other's meaning, but Hai Sa next to Murong Cousin was quite surprised by Mu Yueli, she knew that Hai Sa was waiting for the "second son" during this time, so long, he didn't give up, it seems that if he didn't wait for the "second son", Hai Sa would not stop!
"Yo, isn't this the third lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion?" A voice came from behind her, Mu Yueli's body was slightly stunned, this voice, she knew it, when she turned around, she saw the woman in gorgeous clothes, who was it not Princess Ning Yue?
"Yue Li has seen Princess Ning Yue. Mu Yueli lowered her eyebrows, and just by sweeping Princess Ning Yue's face, she knew that this Princess Ning Yue seemed to be provocative.
Princess Ning Yue followed a group of noble girls, walked to Mu Yueli's side, and looked her up and down, "As far as I know, Lord Zuo Xiang doesn't seem to be among the people invited today, what are you doing here?"
Mu Jinyan is in the middle of the court, and naturally he didn't come today, Mu Jinyan didn't come, so Mu Yueli is naturally not qualified to appear here, unless... Unless she has an invitation post, however, Nanningyue will not believe that Mu Yueli has an invitation post, this banquet is all cooked by her father, and even the invitation post is handled by the queen mother, who has been invited and who has not been invited, she Princess Ningyue naturally knows, she doesn't remember seeing Mu Yueli's name in the invitation list.
"Yes, uninvited, the third lady is really positive. A noble girl said, they are somewhat jealous of this third lady, they don't dare to attack the third miss on weekdays, that is because she also has the identity of a queen mother's daughter, but today is different, Princess Ning Yue is here, Princess Ning Yue is the biological daughter of the queen mother, a veritable golden branch and jade leaf, Mu Yueli, the righteous daughter, is naturally not as good as Princess Ning Yue.
"But no, if you are not active, how can you catch the golden beetle son-in-law?" Another noble girl chimed in, they thought that His Royal Highness King Nanwang and General Lin both treated this third young lady differently, and they thought that this third young lady should have some means.
"His Royal Highness King Nan's birthday, Mu Yueli has come to congratulate her. Facing the pressure from Princess Ning Yue and the noble ladies behind her, Mu Yueli was still calm and did not change her face, "The young ladies are also quite active, isn't it also for the sake of fishing for the golden beetle?"
She can give Princess Ning Yue a face for the sake of the queen's mother, but for these noble ladies who took the initiative to provoke her, she was not so merciful.
"You... You.. The two noble girls pointed at Mu Yueli, I didn't expect her to be so sharp-tongued, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, not for anything else, just because Mu Yueli told the truth, their father brought them here, naturally with this thought, if they can really climb up to the king of the south, even if it is other sons who come to the banquet, it will be the best, but... When it was spread out so bluntly, they suddenly felt as if they had been slapped in the face.
Mu Yue furrowed her eyebrows, still as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.
"Princess, you just heard it, and she said something like this, Princess, you have to be the master for us. "The two noble girls and wicked people sued first, and at this time, it was naturally right to push Princess Ningyue out.
Princess Ning Yue's eyes did not take off Mu Yueli's body from beginning to end, and there was a trace of displeasure in her heart, not because of the complaint of these two noble girls, but because of the indifference on Mu Yueli's face, her eyes narrowed slightly, this Mu Yueli, it seems that every time she sees her, she will be a little different, she has never understood why the queen mother wants to recognize a righteous daughter, in her opinion, it is the queen mother who wants to recognize the righteous daughter, and that person will not be Mu Yueli, but the queen mother not only recognizes, she also listened to the queen mother praise her more than once, the queen mother has rarely praised people, this Mu Yueli has become an exception, the queen mother likes Mu Yueli so much, how can she, her biological daughter, not be jealous?
"But if there is an invitation post, if there is no invitation post, give it to this princess, this is not a place where idle people can come!" Princess Ning Yue shouted coldly.
When she entered the door just now, she did see a guard guarding the door, and she entered the house with the invitation post, but she was brought in by Moyu, who was Nan Lichen's personal guard, and it was a living invitation post, so naturally no one dared to embarrass her.
"What kind of idle people, wait?" Mo Yu strode forward, blocking in front of Mu Yueli, and the sword in his hand was particularly conspicuous.
Those noble girls all paid attention to Mu Yueli's body just now, and when they saw such a handsome son who suddenly came out, who seemed to be an escort, they couldn't help frowning slightly, "Where are you from, dare to talk to the princess like this, where did you come from, go back!"
As soon as the noble girl's words fell, there was a rubbing, and the sword in Mo Yu's hand was unsheathed, and the sharp sword body made people shudder, "Tell me, where should I go back?"
The obvious threat made the noble girl's body tremble with fright, and she hid behind Princess Ning Yue, "Come on, escort! Someone is going to hurt the princess!"
