"Okay, Miss Murong alone has solved all the riddles of my three emperors, and she is really smart. Murong Qing is really a goddaughter. The emperor was overjoyed and praised again and again. Murong Bai hurriedly got up and said a few words modestly, but his pride could not be hidden, and he couldn't help but clench Liu's hand after sitting down. Liu smiled at him, and her heart was not pleased.

It's just that the faces of Jiang's mother and daughter are not good-looking at this time. In the past, only Murong Qingyi was a blockbuster at the Spring Festival banquet, and Murong Qingxue didn't even have the qualifications to participate, but this time she stole the limelight, and Murong Qingyi's eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

"Queen, you have already said in advance that those who guess will be rewarded. Now, this Murong girl has solved all three puzzles by herself, is she going to give a big reward?" The emperor stroked his sparse beard and said to the queen.

The queen immediately picked up: "What the emperor said is very true, this Murong girl is not only beautiful, but also unparalleled in her mind and resourcefulness. At first, I thought that it would be great if any girl could guess one, but she didn't expect her to be so smart. It's really going to be rewarded, but it's just that it's good to let this palace think about what you want to reward. The queen looked at Murong Qingxue with a smile.

"Queen Mother, what's so difficult about this? Since you want to be rewarded, you must definitely appreciate your favor, so as to show the hearts of your father and the queen mother. Yirong smiled and said to the queen.

The queen looked at Yirong with disgust: "Rong'er, what should you reward the queen mother according to your opinion?"

Yi Rong held his chin with his hand and laughed: "Queen Mother, I don't dare to say this, if the Queen Mother can protect my safety, my daughter can talk about it." ”

"This girl is getting more and more tricky, you say, with the father and the queen mother, who can move you?" The queen looked at Yirong's eyes and glanced at her three brothers, and she also counted it in her heart.

"Father, mother, that's all the daughter can say. Qingxue is the concubine of the General's Mansion......" Before Yirong finished speaking, the queen's brows furrowed, and she immediately asked Murong Bai: "General, Miss Murong is such a smart girl, it turns out to be your concubine?"

Murong Bai hurriedly got up and returned: "Back to Niangniang, Xue'er was born by the third lady of Weichen, and she was a concubine. However, Weichen has just promoted the third lady Liu to a flat wife recently, so Xue'er is the same as Qingyi, both of them are concubines. ”

"Oh, I see. "Murong Qingyi is Murong Bai's eldest daughter, and she participates in the Spring Festival banquet every year, so the queen is a little impressed. Looking sideways, Murong Qingyi was as glamorous as a peach and plum, and she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but she was dressed as a concubine of the General's Mansion. And although Murong Qingxue is lightly swept the moth eyebrows, her dusty temperament can't be hidden, so she doesn't feel like she takes a second look.

Murong Qingyi saw that the queen's eyes stayed on him, so he immediately showed the dignity of everyone's ladies, but the queen's eyes were like a glimpse, fleeting, and her heart was suddenly unwilling.

When it comes to concubines, the faces of several people are full of contempt and resentment. Murong Jingli's nails suddenly broke with the word "concubine", and she hurriedly used a silk handkerchief to cover up her gaffe.

"Rong'er, you go on. The queen said with a smile on her face.

Yi Rong was interrupted just now and didn't know where to go, so he scratched his head and looked confused: "Queen Mother, where did my daughter say just now?"

Dongfang Juechen's slightly cold voice came: "You said that Qingxue is the concubine of the General's Mansion. ”

Yirong clapped his hands and said, "By the way, yes, thank you Fourth Brother, it's just that General Murong said just now that Qingxue is now a concubine, not a concubine." Therefore, she will definitely have the things of her daughter's family, such as gold, silver, wealth and silk, and silk and satin, just like the eldest lady, right, General Murong?"

Murong Bai said yes again and again.

Yirong continued: "Therefore, the queen mother wants to reward Qingxue with something that she does not have, but it is also what she wants in her heart." ”

"Rong'er, what do you want to say after you say so much?" The emperor also felt that Yi Rong's Guanzi had sold too much, so he had to ask questions.

Yirong glanced at Qingxue, and then said to the emperor: "Father, mother, why don't you point out the marriage for Qingxue?" Murong Qingxue's face immediately showed embarrassment when she heard this, and she hurriedly pulled Yirong to signal her to stop talking.

According to Rong's words, this is the queen's heart, which is her original intention to hold the Spring Festival dinner this time.

"General Murong, what do you think?" the queen asked Murong Bai.

Murong Bai looked at the Jiang family, and then at Murong Qingxue, although he had already imagined this situation, but when it really came, he didn't know how to answer well, and said: "The emperor and the queen can get married, it is the glory of Murong Mansion, Weichen, obey the arrangement of the emperor and the queen." ”

Finger marriage, like a stone, broke the peace in everyone's hearts. The emperor gave marriage, this is the supreme glory, why is this glory taken by Murong Qingxue? However, the glory in their eyes is a hot potato for Murong Qingxue. The big feud is far away, but now she wants to get married, no, she doesn't want it.

Murong Qingxue wanted to politely refuse the empress's suggestion, but was stopped by Liu's gaze. This is the Imperial Palace, how could she be allowed to make a mistake? She lowered her head again, secretly blaming Yirong for doing bad things with good intentions.

"Your Majesty, our sons are all outstanding, but Murong Qingxue is only one person, what do you think?" the queen threw this question at the emperor and looked at him with a smile.

The emperor didn't know what to do for a while, but suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked Yirong with a smile: "Yirong, you proposed this, then you can solve it." It's just that you have to be cautious. ”

Yirong saw Qingxue's brows frowning slightly before, and she knew that her kindness had caused trouble for her, okay, the bitter fruit she made could only be eaten by herself. After thinking for a while, he said loudly: "Father, mother, the men of my Xiling Kingdom are not only three brothers, don't you think of the three of them as soon as you have a good girl?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yirong felt that there were three cold airs behind her, but she couldn't care about it so much, she ran to Murong Qingxue's side, took her arm with her hand, looked at her and said with a smile: "Then wait until Qingxue has a sweetheart, and then ask the father and queen mother to marry, and then take it as a special gift from the father and the queen mother." ”

Murong Qingxue looked at Yirong gratefully, and the emperor and empress also felt that it was okay, but they were always a little lost in their hearts. After all, such a smart girl, how good it is to be the daughter-in-law of her own family, after all, the final decision is in her own hands, what does it matter if she is one day earlier or one day later. The queen whispered to the emperor for a while, and the queen agreed.

Murong Qingxue saluted respectfully: "Qingxue, thank you to the emperor, the queen, and the princess." ”

The queen said: "Miss Murong doesn't have to be polite, this is what you deserve, if the Yirong of this palace can be like you, this palace will be relieved." ”

Yi Rong pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother, isn't your daughter good?"

The queen looked at her lovingly and smiled: "Okay, you're the best." It's just that, Yirong, you haven't told your mother yet, how can you know Qingxue?" The queen has always wondered how her willful and arrogant daughter could be so good with Murong Qingxue, and she has never seen her enter the palace to find Yirong.

Yi Rong sat down in front of the queen and said, "Queen Mother, my daughter once told you that when I went out of the palace to play two years ago, I accidentally fell into the water, and it was Qingxue who saved me, have you forgotten?"

The queen thought thoughtfully: "Are you talking about the girl who doesn't know how to water but hasn't given up on you?"

Yi Rong said: "Exactly." My daughter still remembers that Qingxue was very thin and her complexion was not good, and I later learned that she had done a lot of hard work and had no strength at all. I didn't know until today that she was the daughter of the General's Mansion, and she knew that I was a princess. Say, Queen Mother, how can a daughter not fellowship with her heart?"

The queen also nodded, and even glanced at Murong Qingxue. Immediately turned coldly to Murong Bai: "General, Qingxue is your daughter, why do you still have to do rough work? Could it be that you have a huge general's mansion, and there is no maid, so you have to bother the young lady to do the work?"

Murong Bai's face turned really pale when he said this, and he quickly knelt down and defended: "Back to the queen mother, this is where Weichen was negligent. Weichen runs for the country all day long, so the affairs of the government are negligent in management. ”

The queen snorted coldly: "You are negligent in management, so how is your main room Jiang clan managed? Could it be that the daughter she gave birth to is a young lady, and other people's daughters are all maids?

The queen's words were so unceremonious, and the Jiang family also "pounced" and knelt down, not daring to speak.

Murong Qingxue saluted the queen: "Qingxue thanks the queen for her care, but this is not about my father and aunt." There is no shortage of everything in the house, and the snow clearing is just something to do when you have nothing to do. Please also ask the queen mother not to blame my father and aunt. ”

Yi Rong said distressedly: "Qingxue"

Murong Qingxue motioned to Yirong not to say anything more.

The queen sighed lightly: "It's a good girl, okay, since you say so, this palace will no longer pursue it, it's just that the general, Yirong regards Qingxue as her sister, so she is also half of the daughters of this palace." You have to cherish your life. ”

Murong Bai nodded again and again, and together with the Jiang family, he thanked the queen for not pursuing it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A cough came, and Murong Qingxue naturally looked at Murong Yunrui, realizing that his behavior was inappropriate, and withdrew his gaze.

"Yun Rui, what's wrong with you?" the queen asked with concern.

Murong Yunrui said: "The queen mother doesn't have to worry, it's just that the spring cold is precipitous, and the son was accidentally infected with the wind cold." ”

When the queen heard this, she was a little relieved and asked Ling Ran to take care of him.

It is more deeply exposed, the Beidou is dry, the time is not early, and the Spring Festival will be dispersed. Everyone sent the emperor and empress off from their seats, and then returned to their homes on their own. The Jiang family and Murong Qingyi were in a bad mood, so they sat in the carriage early, and left with Murong Bai and Liu's carriages one after another.

Murong Qingxue, accompanied by Xinyun, also got into the carriage. Murong Qingxue was also very tired, so she stretched her waist, and suddenly, her heart was shocked. Xinyun noticed it and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Murong Qingxue asked nervously, "Xinyun, have you seen my pearl?"

Xinyun also became nervous: "Miss, do you mean that the pearl that Prince Rui gave you is gone?" Dongfang Yunrui presented the moon pearl in public, who didn't see the pearl present? The pearl is worth 10,000 gold, and it represents the blue eyes of Lord Rui, and Xinyun certainly understands the importance of the pearl.

Murong Qingxue hurriedly got out of the car and returned to the dinner scene. At the end of the song, everyone was scattered, it was very lonely, Murong Qingxue's heart was anxious, she resented how she could have lost such an important thing.

In the previous life, he returned the pearl and lost him, and in this life, he can no longer lose it. Murong Qingxue said secretly in her heart.
