Peony is extravagant, has always been the national flower of the Great Zhou, every year when the Luoyang flower fair, the people of Luoyang will select the most beautiful plants, before they open, they will be sent to the capital quickly.

When we arrived at the palace, the flowers would naturally bloom. Mu Ze remembered that he had seen these peony flowers in the emperor's imperial study.

Now I really didn't expect that he would be able to take Yuan Jinyu to participate in this flower party.

In the evening, as usual, the lord of Luoyang City held a banquet, and Yuan Jinyu heard that there would be people dancing on the flowers at this banquet, so he was very curious, so he went with Mu Ze.

After Iris and Qinling followed them to Luoyang, they didn't know where they were imprisoned, as if they had been forgotten by the emperor.

And Yuan Jinyu not only didn't see Mu Que at the dinner, but he didn't even see Mu Zhao. Mu Ze explained, saying that the emperor found a teacher for Mu Zhao in Luoyang City, and then Mu Zhao didn't follow this section of the southern tour, and when he returned to Beijing, he would go together.

Yuan Jinyu weighed this matter slightly in his heart. On the surface, it is learning, but in the background, this is Luoyang. Since many years ago, Luoyang has been a place where literati have come out in large numbers, and many of the top three in the palace examination were born in Luoyang.

Even the hometowns of many highly respected ministers in the capital are all from Luoyang.

This is not just a beautiful place for peony flowers, but also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Seeing that Mu Zhao didn't even attend the dinner, and Shen Guifei sat next to the emperor and smiled like a flower, Yuan Jinyu knew that this mother and son must be excited in their hearts.

Now Mu Que has been sent to contact the officials in front of him first, Mu Zhao has been left in Luoyang to study, and Mu Ling has been following the emperor to take care of him.

All three of them have their own advantages in the current road. Mu Que can win over officials, Mu Zhao can find talents, and Mu Ling is close to an emperor.

In Yuan Jinyu's opinion, it can be regarded as the emperor cultivating the three of them as fairly as possible.

What about Mu Ze? She was a little angry in her heart. Mu Ze has worked hard since he left Beijing, but now, he is only doing some things similar to the guards in front of the palace.

He didn't have time to do anything to find talents and win over officials, and even the emperor's current recitals were all approved by Mu Ze.

Mu Ze belongs to the Ministry of War, and there are already a bunch of things, and now he sees that he is resting later and later every day, even yesterday, she went to sleep, and Mu Ze seems to be reading official documents by the lamp.

Yuan Jinyu felt a little sorry for him, sat beside him, and didn't watch any singing and dancing, really like a little maid, helping Mu Ze with the dishes.

Mu Ze glanced at his table, well, the wine was placed quite far away from Yuan Jinyu, so he finally didn't have to worry about this girl secretly drinking.

Eating the dishes that Yuan Jinyu sandwiched for himself, a smile appeared on Mu Ze's lips.

The city lord of Luoyang is a man who is only in his twenties, he can be regarded as following the position of his father's former city lord, born in Luoyang, and he is also a good look, at this moment, looking at Yuan Jinyu busy with his work, he also took the initiative to say to Mu Ze: "His Royal Highness King Ning, this servant girl is really conscientious, His Royal Highness should reward him well." ”

What happened to the team along the way, they could find out some, the same, for example, this little maid named Xiaojin always ate and lived with His Royal Highness King Ning, and they also knew.

These men didn't want to ask the "Princess Ning" who was far away in the capital how it was, but they just thought that since this little maid could get close to Mu Ze, then they should be able to please Mu Ze by sending some beauties.

Of course, we must also show due respect for this little brocade.

Mu Ze seemed to agree with the city lord's words, put down the chopsticks, and glanced at Yuan Jinyu softly: "It's time to reward it well." ”

Yuan Jin Yuxing gave a thanksgiving to the maid: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your love." ”

The emperor looked at this side with a smile and didn't say anything, but Mu Ling on the side frowned.

The singing and dancing also began soon, and as Yuan Jinyu heard, these people actually stepped on the peony and danced. After looking at it for a while, she saw the doorway, it turned out that this dance step was similar to the palm dance, but standing on the palm of the hand, after all, there was a support point, but the flowers were too slender, so these dancers should be able to do light work.

Yuan Jinyu watched it with relish, especially the one who led the dance, who had a figure and dancing posture that was not lost to Xiao Bailing, which looked really pleasing to the eye.

And she was so engrossed that Mu Ze had to take care of her, put some food for her for a while, and handed over the tea for a while.

Everyone at the banquet was slightly surprised, as if they didn't understand how the relationship between the two seemed to be reversed.

And Yuan Jinyu didn't know that these people were watching her, but she was extremely skilled in reaching out for the teacup, and Mu Ze could also understand her thoughts very clearly, and handed the teacup over.

Finally, at the end of the song, Yuan Jinyu applauded lightly, and praised Mu Ze excitedly: "That girl danced really well, Brother Jiu, you said that I am learning light skills now, is it too late?"

Mu Ze couldn't bear to let Yuan Jinyu suffer, after all, martial arts were not made in a day. And Yuan Jinyu didn't have that root, so he said slightly euphemistically: "You can dance in the palm of your hand, you don't have to learn this." ”

Yuan Jinyu was still a little active, and looked at the dancing girls with unfinished thoughts on the side.

The words she said to Mu Ze just now were all whispered, so no one heard them.

And at the end of the song, the city lord of Luoyang also spoke.

"What does the emperor think of the Peony girl's singing and dancing?" Although the lord of Luoyang City is the east, since the emperor is here, he naturally wants to give up the throne. At the end of the song and dance, the first person to ask was naturally the emperor's opinion.

It turned out that the leading dancer just now was named after the city flower of Luoyang, which was really courageous. But thinking about the way she was flying just now, she really had a bit of peony flowers in full bloom.

The emperor also clapped his hands just now: "Your place is really outstanding, not bad, not bad." ”

Although he was boasting of singing and dancing, Yuan Jinyu only saw pure appreciation from the emperor's eyes. I don't know what the emperor's eyes should be like when he looked at Xiao Bailing at the banquet on the Weishui boat that day. It must be different from now, otherwise I wouldn't have taken Xiao Bailing away.

When the city lord of Luoyang heard the emperor's praise, he couldn't help but be happy, and said respectfully to the emperor: "Peony is not only beautiful, dances well, but also has a gentle temperament. Now that Your Majesty is touring the south, if there are not enough people around you to serve, let the peony serve you, whether it is to bring a tea and pour water, or to add fragrance to the red sleeves, it is excellent. ”

Yuan Jinyu knew that things would develop like this. There is such a great beauty, whether the emperor appreciates it or not, the lord of Luoyang City will go in and offer it.

Yuan Jinyu thought about the names of the two women brought back to the palace by the previous emperor in Jiangnan, and it seemed that none of them were called peony. Could it be that the emperor still wants to have a dewy marriage with the peony girl?

Who knew that the emperor and Yuan Jinyu thought completely differently, and he actually opened his mouth to refuse.

"There's no need for this, there are enough people around me, but it's the fifth child, I only brought a few accompanying servants out when I saw you, not even a maid, for you?" The emperor turned to Mu Ling and said.

The two of them sat opposite each other, separated by a hall. Mu Ling has always been waiting with all her heart, and when she heard this, she first saluted the emperor, and then politely refused: "Father, the son of the emperor came with you to the south this time, just thinking about taking care of the father's daily life is enough, and the rest, the son really didn't pay attention to it." ”

The implication is that as a son of man, he has no one to serve, and it is nothing to be wronged.

After all, Mu Ling is not the emperor, and the city lord of Luoyang is also the force he wants to fight for, so naturally he can't speak so bluntly like the emperor.

But since he had refused, the emperor would not force the woman to him, but there were three honorable people at this banquet, and both of them had already refused the peony, and the dancing girl just now stood in the distance and did not leave, although she didn't say anything, but her face had become a little pale. If the things explained by the city lord can't be completed, she must have a very hard time in the future.

The emperor and Mu Ling are not kind-hearted people, they really don't care about the life or death of the dancing girl.

And the city lord also felt that his face was pale, and he didn't think about it carefully, why the emperor just asked Mu Ling instead of Mu Ze, and said to Mu Ze himself: "His Royal Highness King Ning, what do you see?"

Mu Ze was originally drinking, and this Luoyang City has a special technique of making wine with peony flowers, so the wine is fragrant and crisp, but it tastes very sweet.

Yuan Jinyu has been hungry for a long time, but Mu Ze won't give her any drink.

So when the Luoyang City Lord asked, Yuan Jinyu glanced at him so lightly.

The city lord is still a little inexplicable, I asked your master about it, you little maid, what do you do with such eyes?

And you're just a girl now, and you're not Princess Ning, at best, you're in the same nature as Peony.

Who knew that Mu Ze didn't give the Luoyang City Lord face at all, so he frowned and said, "Why do you want to stuff everyone here with this king?"

There was silence at the banquet, and even a pin could be heard clearly on the ground. The city lord's cold sweat broke out directly, but he felt humiliated in his heart.

What did King Ning mean by this? Just now, the emperor and His Royal Highness King Rui did not say it so presumptuously. Is it possible to give you a beauty, and choose the most noble girl in Luoyang City? This is just a concubine, is it so serious?

On the surface, the city lord still smiled: "Peony is versatile, gentle and ......beautiful," he said, and glanced at Yuan Jinyu.

Yuan Jinyu was furious, is this city lord sarcastic that he is not as good-looking as a peony now?

Mu Ze also discovered the city lord's thoughts, his brows furrowed even tighter, and there were faint signs of anger. He interrupted the city lord: "You have already said these things just now, there is no need to say them again. I don't know if the city lord knows that those small families in the capital like to use peonies as the name of the rough maid?"
