Chapter 48: Temptation I
The news of the self-dissolving water and the whip of the horse spread throughout the palace at dusk. www.biquge.info At this time, a round of sunset is like a round ball of yellow velvet hair, sinking in the western sky. The rose-colored sunset swirls in the western sky, as if someone has picked a blooming flower in a garden and threw its petals down, only to see its brilliance flowing, and the sunset is wafting and blending, like petals flying and overlapping, faintly giving people the illusion that there will be residual flowers lingering in the fragrance.
The afterglow obliquely shines into the cinnabar palace, only to see that the palace people in charge of the lamps and candles are carrying the bronze cast lampstand in groups of four, busy lighting up the lamps in the palace, under the eaves, the palace roadside, the palace and so on, all the way, at a glance I see the palace lamps lit up one after another, and finally lead to the main hall of the cinnabar palace, the bright candles surround and embellish, the cinnabar palace is full of confusion in the dim skylight, it is very beautiful.
On the palace road leading to the main gate of the Cinnabar Palace, a woman in a rose-red gauze dress was coming with the palace people, it was Mu Lianyi who had just sent her sister out of the palace.
At this time, it was the time for dinner in the palaces, Mei Qianqian was also eating, she just asked the personal female official Chaoxiu to scoop a bowl of soup for herself, and was taking a sip, when she heard that the palace people were rumored to be Mu Shi coming, she took out the handkerchief in her sleeve, took a few sips on her lips, wiped off the traces of drinking soup, lowered her eyelids and let Chaoxiu help herself up, but just stood up, but hesitated and sat back.
Without waiting for Mei Qianqian to hesitate again, there was already a beautiful shadow at the door of the palace, the bright lights were shining on the beauty, Mu Yun did not apply powder, she had a small face, and the light that fell on her reflected her charming smile, which was full of beauty and beauty, almost fascinating. Even Mei Qianqian, who didn't look up and down with her on weekdays, couldn't help but lose her mind a little, and looked at Mu Yunyun's face without any expression. However, Mu Yunyun saw Mei Qianqian's face, walked a few steps quickly, and bowed to Mei Qianqian in a proper manner, and said, "The queen mother is blessed." β
Mei Qianqian came back to her senses at this time, smiled slightly, she sat on the ground, looked up at Mu Yunyun in front of her at this time, and suddenly felt that the person who asked for the salute was not Mu Yunyun, but herself, so she had to hold Chaoxiu's hand and stand up. It was Mu Yunyun who took a step forward, stepped forward and personally helped Mei Qianqian's hand, but instead of helping Mei Qianqian to stand up, he served her and sat down, and said, "It's not the right time for the concubine to come, disturb the mother's meal......"
The sweet fragrance on Mu Yunyun's body is like honey fruit wine, faintly wafting to the tip of Mei's shallow nose, making her distracted for a while, she didn't hear what Mu Yunyun said later, only immersed in the fragrance, and when she reacted, she couldn't help but regret it again, and hated this fragrance in her heart, but she couldn't help but be honestly fascinated by this fragrance. She took a deep breath, took the opportunity to sigh secretly, the stiff expression on her face relaxed a little, and after a smile unfolded, she returned to her usual appearance, and after instructing the palace people to serve tea and fruit snacks, she turned her head and asked Mu Yunyun if she had eaten before, and if she wanted to taste the cooking skills of the new imperial chef in the cinnabar palace.
Mu Yunyun's eyes were half-narrowed, and he asked with a light smile, "I wonder if the new imperial chef in the queen's mouth refers to the one who came from the south?"
The main stream of dissolved water originates from the adjacent Xiyi land to the west of Dayong, and winds all the way to the southern border of Dayong, like a cloth belt falling horizontally on the plain south of Dayong, moistening the land on both sides of the plain endlessly, and finally slowly flowing into the sea. Mei Qianqian thought about Mu Yunyun's words, and thought that the news that came to the Cinnabar Palace in the evening was related to the dissolved water in the south, and Mu Yunyun deliberately mentioned the south at this time, could it be that she smiled slowly and said, "It seems that Concubine Mu went to the Mourning Palace today, and she did nothing but go to the Three Treasures Palace." β
"The concubine has always felt that in the harem, the queen mother is the most reliable and the most approachable person, and I hope that the queen mother can call the name of the concubine as in the past, I don't know if the queen thinks it is good?"
The beauty under the light raised her eyes and smiled at Mei Qianqian, such a young face, obviously not wearing powder, but the well-maintained Mei Qianqian on the side was instantly exposed. Mei Qianqian wanted to say "no" countless times in her heart , I want to put out the posture of the queen mother to press it, but I am biased against her like a flower face to her coquettish request, but she refuses to say it, her personal female official Chaoxiu saw it in her eyes, and understood her master's mind at the moment, but unfortunately she was pressed by the palace rules, stipulating that the slave maid could not speak privately in front of the master without permission, she was anxious, the red Luo skirt stomped slightly, silently just disturbed the Luo skirt to shake slightly, Mu Yunyun noticed, raised her eyes and glanced at Chao Xiu, saw Chao Xiu's lips move, and was bitten by herself with her own teethγ
Mu Yunyun's red lips skimmed lightly, smiled leisurely, and said, "I think at the beginning, the concubine also called Chaoxiu a sister, but I don't know if Chaoxiu will love me as much as in the past today?"
After Chaoxiu and Mei Qianqian glanced at each other, Mei Qianqian retracted her gaze lightly, but Chaoxiu knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, "At the beginning, the slave maid was young and ignorant, and if she committed the following crimes, please ...... it."
Before this "Concubine Mu" could be spoken, Mei Qianqian had already opened her mouth to relieve Chaoxiu, "It's all an old thing, why should you take it to heart." β
Mu Yunyun smiled and nodded in response, "The queen mother said so, where do the concubines have other ideas." It's just that I think of the past, and I think that Chaoxiu was so good to the concubines back then, so I have to keep it in my heart. But the great grace is not grateful, and it will be given up after that, I will no longer remember this kindness, and Chaoxiu, you don't have to worry about these old things. β
After that, Mu Yunyun immediately asked Chaoxiu to stand up, and then went back to the previous topic, "Niangniang is right, the concubine came today, naturally because of the matter in the south." β
There are palace people to send tea and fruit snacks into the palace, the palace door opens and closes, there is a night breeze blowing in, alarming the fire candles in the hall, Mei Qianqian's face flickering, but I don't know if it's because of the mood, or because of the shaking lights and shadows in the hall. She interrupted Mu Yunyun's words and said, "The affairs of the court, how can the people of the harem talk about it. β
"The queen is the mother of a country, and it is within her duty to relieve the saint's worries, so why should the saint be left alone to bear this heavy responsibility of sorrow. What's more, the disaster of dissolved water is related to the people's feelings and national conditions, the queen mother is the mother of the country, isn't it worried about the people of the dissolved water, and why bother to clean it up so much, I don't know how many people in the south in this harem, my heart is sad and incomprehensible, if the queen mother cares too much about the ancestral dynasty, won't it chill the hearts of the harem sisters?"
