Chapter Eighty-Eight: Mu Gongzi?
Raising his eyes, the cheek that he had missed for a long time came into view. He was dressed in a white robe, standing in the sun coldly, his handsome facial features were as sharp and angular as a knife and jade, and his deep eyes looked at her in a daze, and he couldn't see his love.
"Okay, it's okay. β
Xu hadn't seen him for too long, Lin Xiaoyou was stunned for a while, and he couldn't say a thousand words choked in his heart.
Dead woman, don't give him down yet. Looking at the two people hugging each other, for some reason, Xiahou Yichen felt a burst of boredom in his heart inexplicably.
Senior brother is here, senior brother is here. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyu sank into his thoughts, and still had the illusion of dreaming. I couldn't help but slowly stretch out my hand, wanting to pinch to see if the face in front of me was real. Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she reached mid-air, a big hand suddenly pulled her out of Lin Xiaoyu's arms.
A cold voice that seemed to come from hell and was as cold as a ghost sounded in his ears: "Princess, why are you so careless?" The words were said to Lin Xiaoyu, but the meaningful gaze fell on Lin Xiaoyu's body.
The arms were empty in an instant, Lin Xiaoyu frowned slightly, smelled the faint fragrance that still remained in the air, and put down the hand that was held in the air because he was holding Lin Xiaoyu. This feeling of loss is like your most important treasure being snatched away by someone else.
Who's that? It's so good-looking, I've never seen it before. Looking at Lin Xiaoyu, who suddenly appeared, the eyes of the surrounding daughters lit up, and they inquired curiously.
Lin Xiaoyou was forced to come back to her senses, how could she forget that this face-saving nasty ghost is still here! Looking at the ministers who came and went around and watched them, and Xiahou Yichen's eyes that wanted to kill her, Lin Xiaoyou swallowed his saliva in shock, and pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "No, it's okay." β
"Lord Wang, he is my ......" Lin Xiaoyou was about to introduce, but Xiahou Yichen raised a bewitching smile like a poppy, and took the lead in speaking: "Mu Gongzi ......." β
Mu Gongzi Is it Senior Brother Lin Xiaoyou was taken aback and raised his head to look at the two of them.
Ignoring her surprised appearance, Xiahou Yichen smiled, and after a long time, two words popped out of his teeth: "Thank you." β
"Lord Wang, it's serious. Lin Xiaoyu put away the complicated thoughts in her heart, her indifferent voice, and her indifferent feelings, suddenly isolated people thousands of miles away.
The depressing atmosphere made the ministers around him nervous. Anyway, one is the high-ranking prince, and the other is the highly valued Mu Gongzi by the side of the Taishi. When did these two people who couldn't be beaten by the eight poles become so familiar? The most important thing is that the princess is in distress, the person who should be nervous should be the prince, why did Mu Gongzi run faster than the prince? The strange expressions of the ministers, although they were puzzled, but because of Xiahou Yichen's presence, they did not dare to say anything.
"Senior brother. Lin Xiaoyou whispered, and just as he wanted to step forward, his wrist was tightly held by Xiahou Yichen, and then he hugged her shoulder intimately, and deliberately laughed loudly: "Princess, just now thanks to Mu Gongzi for saving you quickly, we have to thank people." I don't know what reward Mu Gongzi wants? Say it, and this king will definitely fulfill you. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized that the reason why Mu Gongzi would save the princess was just that this mountain looked at the mountain and deliberately offered grace, so as to win the favor of the prince, so as to take the opportunity to lean on the big tree of the prince.
How could a senior brother who has always been indifferent to fame and fortune be such a person, Xiahou Yichen's words made Lin Xiaoyou feel very uncomfortable. His face froze, and before he could refute it, Lin Xiaoyu smiled lowly, "The prince doesn't have to take it to heart." β
Hey, it almost worked. Yin Qiumeng, who was originally hiding in the carriage and was about to enjoy the show, flashed a trace of disappointment, and got out of the car with elegant movements, "Princess, princess, are you okay? She patted her chest in horror with a worried look on her face.
As he spoke, his eyes swept slightly, and when he saw Lin Xiaoyu, his eyes were full of shock. There is such an ethereal man in the world, who is like a fairy who has detached himself from the mundane world, and is born with a detached and free bearing. He stood there neither humble nor arrogant, in stark contrast to the evil and arrogant Xiahou Yichen. One cold and one hot, without losing half of the style.
Lin Xiaoyou tilted his head slightly, and glanced disdainfully at Yin Qiumeng, who had just come out of the carriage. Was she angry? Of course she was. More of the excitement, though. If Yin Qiumeng hadn't pushed her down by mistake, she and her senior brother might not have reunited at this moment.
It is a rule to exchange gifts, and since people have given her a big gift, she can't be stingy. "Miss Yin, your kindness is unbearable for this princess. Before you could help me, I almost fell off the carriage, and if you were helping me, the princess's life would not be there. Now that they have entered the palace, they are their own sisters, even if they forget it this time, they can change their mistakes, and they are very good. This princess is not such a stingy person. Lin Xiaoyu didn't open any pot, Yin Qiumeng quietly entered the palace without a name, which almost became a thorn in her heart. At this time, helping her to preach and publicize can be regarded as repaying her great kindness.
After a long time, it turned out that the princess fell for another reason. Lin Xiaoyou's words pushed the boat down the river, so that everyone understood the strangeness. I have heard that Miss Yan of the Yin Guogong Mansion entered the palace without a name or a point. At first, they didn't believe it, but they didn't expect it to be true.
But if you enter the house, you can enter the house, you are all married to a wife, and your arrogant and arrogant temperament has not changed at all. Fighting for the wind and eating cool are all played outside, I really don't understand the rules. In comparison, Princess Chen's kindness and generosity are the most admirable.
Receiving all kinds of disgusted and disgusted eyes from everyone, Yin Qiumeng, who was still proud just now, was suddenly dumbfounded. Her polite words were just words, but I didn't expect Lin Xiaoyou to accept all the orders. I wanted to defend myself, but I didn't know where to start, and my face was flushed. Being smart was mistaken by being smart, and if he knew it earlier, he didn't blame himself for the mistake, giving Lin Xiaoyu an excuse to refute.
"Lord Wang......" Yin Qiumeng stomped his feet coquettishly, looking at Xiahou Yichen pitifully, trying for him to stand up and say something.
Xiahou Yichen gave a cold look, "Dongfan, send Miss Yin to the Queen Mother to say goodbye." β
"Yes. Dongfan agreed, "Miss Yin, please." β
Yin Qiumeng's heart tightened, knowing that Xiahou Yichen was unhappy, he hesitated for a moment, and had to go to Changrui Palace on his own.
"Since Mu Gongzi is so polite, if he encounters any difficulties in the future, as long as this king can help, just ask. Seeing Yi Hongyuan coming here, Xiahou Yichen put his arm in his hand, hugged Lin Xiaoyou and said, "Princess, let's go in." β
I finally saw my senior brother, and I was about to leave before I could say a word. Lin Xiaoyu felt very uncomfortable, looked at Lin Xiaoyu stupidly, and walked past him reluctantly.
Seeing the figures of the two leaving, Lin Xiaoyu stood in place, his calm expression made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Princess, what you mentioned this morning, this king thought about it, and suddenly felt that it was not bad. Looking at Lin Xiaoyu and turning around three times, Xiahou Yichen's sparkling eyes flashed with forbearance anger.
Why is Senior Brother here, and why does Xiahou Yichen call Senior Brother Mu Gongzi? Lin Xiaoyu was full of questions and hadn't recovered from Lin Xiaoyu's body, but listening to his words at this moment, Mu Ne turned his head and said slowly: "What's good?"
I thought she would be happy to hear what she promised her, but who knows, people didn't pay attention to it at all. "Lin-Xiao-You......" Xiahou Yichen's almost demonic face, the smile did not decrease but increased, becoming more and more weird, and he was obviously angry.
The sound of gritting teeth made Lin Xiaoyou's whole body cold, it was fine just now, what happened? Xiahou Yichen's moody personality, she really couldn't figure it out. "By the way, why did you call my senior brother Mu Gongzi just now, do you know?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyu was Lin Xiaoyu when he opened and closed his mouth, and threw himself on Lin Xiaoyu, Xiahou Yichen was full of fire, and replied angrily: "I don't know." β
I didn't know her, I was so familiar when I just said hello, but now I don't know her, I really think she's a fool. Lin Xiaoyou frowned, Xiahou Yichen couldn't admit her, and the two of them went to the imperial garden with their own hearts.
In the Imperial Garden, all kinds of purple and red flowers compete with each other, coupled with the Mid-Autumn Festival, various elaborate arrangements in the palace, and the festive atmosphere is very festive.
Because of the small episode just now, the time was delayed, and when they arrived, there were already many ministers and their families who went to the banquet in the imperial garden. Everyone played in twos and threes, especially those young talents of the younger generation, famous ladies, and a few people gathered together, chanting poems, fighting paintings, chatting, and chatting, and the lively scene added a little warmth to the imperial garden.
"You go and sit down first, and this king will do some business and come in a while." Xiahou Yichen raised his eyebrows, and then turned his head to Beiming and ordered: "You follow the princess." With that, he strode to the other side.
"See the Princess. When the little eunuch who was guarding the door saw her, he was obviously surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"No need to report it. Lin Xiaoyu bowed slightly, the people who came to the banquet today were either royal relatives or high-ranking officials and nobles, it seems that in addition to Lin Lanhai's family, the people she knows can be counted on one hand, so it is better to keep a low profile.
Lin Lanhai They should be here, Lin Xiaoyou thought to himself, and his inquiring eyes paid a little attention. Not far away, Wu was sitting with a woman with a flowery posture. She was dressed in a crimson brocade skirt, with her hair in a bun, wearing a shiny golden hairpin, and a pair of pure amber earrings dangling in her ears. The two talked intimately, and from time to time they picked up the Jinpa and lowered their heads to cover their lips and laughed, just by looking at their expressions, they knew how they were talking happily.
In the octagonal pavilion behind them, more than a dozen gorgeously dressed ladies gathered together to laugh and play, Lin Qingyue was wearing a blue long skirt, sitting delicately in the crowd, nodding for a while, shaking her head for a while, her beautiful appearance was very eye-catching.
Lin Lanhai sat on the other side, smiling proudly and chatting with a few ministers who had a good relationship on weekdays.
The rumors a few days ago allowed the Lin Mansion to seize the opportunity and gain a lot of benefits, regardless of officialdom or shopping malls, it can really be said that it is booming. However, who knows how long this scenery will last, the higher you jump, the worse the fall.
Lin Xiaoyu retracted his gaze from all his thoughts, and wanted to go quietly to his position. Unexpectedly, it was discovered by a sharp-eyed person, "Hey, isn't that Princess Chen, why did she come alone?" As soon as the crisp voice sounded, everyone's surprised eyes followed.
After such a fuss, the lively atmosphere around suddenly became cold. Lin Xiaoyou frowned, raised her eyes, and at a position dozens of steps away from her, a woman in purple she didn't know was looking at her curiously, seeing which lady should be in the outfit.
When she found Lin Xiaoyou's gaze, she immediately blessed her body gently and said, "See the princess." β
"Since she is here, is the prince also here? Several other young ladies on the side whispered excitedly, chatting about Xiahou Yichen.
She is the princess, what's wrong with coming to the palace banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival, why do you look at her eyes one by one, she seems to be surprised! Lin Xiaoyou was puzzled, but he still smiled slightly, and nodded simply.
"Sister Princess, are you here?" Lin Qingyue quickly got up and walked over, with a warm attitude, at first glance, she really thought that the two were close sisters.
Lin Xiaoyu snorted lightly, she came to the banquet as a princess, in such a public occasion, Lin Qingyue did not shy away from calling her sister, deliberately approaching, obviously intending to confirm her true identity to everyone. If she agrees, it will be a disguised admission that she has a lot to do with the Lin Mansion.
"Miss Lin, when did this princess have an extra sister? Don't say that you didn't enter the door of the palace, even if you entered the palace, it would be me as my wife and you as my concubine. Lin Xiaoyou smiled and took the identity posture just right.
As soon as the words fell, all the women chuckled, although it was very unpleasant for Lin Xiaoyou to occupy the position of the princess, but what was the point of the past being revealed. Lin Qingyue's move is simply naΓ―ve, and she deserves to lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot.
Of course, Lin Qingyue also heard the sarcasm, and a trace of anger crossed her eyes unwillingly, and quickly disappeared. It's not good to agree, it's not good not to agree, her beautiful face turned red, she looked back, and changed the topic awkwardly: "Why did the princess come alone today, the prince didn't accompany you." β
It seems that Lin Xiaoyu, the princess, is not doing very well, she has no real power in the palace, not to mention, now that time has passed, the novelty of the prince to her has gradually faded, and it is rare to waste her energy even to accompany her. If it goes on like this, it will be a matter of time before she is snubbed.
"Miss Lin, as the prince of the Dragon Shadow Kingdom, the prince has the responsibility to worry about the world first. Could it be that in Miss Lin's eyes, the prince is just a faint minister who is obsessed with beauty?" Before Lin Xiaoyou could speak, Bei Ming sneered back with a cold face. "Moreover, the prince is entangled in official business, and his subordinates are sent to protect the princess, and Miss Lin's eyes are above the top, so naturally she can't see the storage of her subordinates. "Dare to find trouble with the princess, purely looking for death.
"No, no, the princess misunderstood, I didn't mean that. Lin Qingyue hurriedly denied it in public. Beiming is the prince's personal guard, offending him is equivalent to offending the prince, if this leaves a bad impression in the prince's heart, it will be more than worth the loss.
is a good Beiming, I can't see that I am silent on weekdays, and I speak quite sharply at critical moments. is worthy of Xiahou Yichen's subordinates, if he doesn't make a sound, he will be a blockbuster. Lin Xiaoyou secretly admired in her heart, looked at Lin Qingyue and said slowly: "Whether there is that meaning or not, Miss Lin will know it in her own heart, how can others know." β
The tricky girl, I haven't seen her for a long time, and Lin Xiaoyu, who was innocent and simple before, has become so sharp-toothed. Seeing that Lin Qingyue was deflated twice in a row, the Wu family couldn't sit still, slowly stepped forward, and saluted respectfully: "Princess Wan'an, Yue'er has no intention of offending without concealment, the princess is kind and kind, and there are a lot of adults, please forgive me." "Qingyue is her daughter, if she doesn't stand up, where will Lin Fu's face be put in the future.
Lin Xiaoyou sneered, if she didn't give up today, she would be a wicked person who was not kind, not kind, and stingy. Wu's ah, Wu's, although Jiang is still old and spicy, she is not the same as she used to be. Thinking about it now, it was really a wise choice to take Lin Qingyue under the knife. The Wu family has a daughter of Lin Qingyue, and she is naturally very precious, but if she can't control it, she will have to bear it in the future.
"North Hell, let's go. Ignoring all the strange eyes around her, Lin Xiaoyou glared at her, and found her place to sit down with a peaceful expression.
"You happened to be sick at the last palace banquet and didn't come, look, this is Princess Chen. β
"Oh, just her, her previous life experience is well known, and she turned into a princess of Yueyin again. It's really gorgeous. β
"It's true that Fenghua is peerless, but at that young age, she sat firmly in the position of Princess Chen, which shows that the means are also unusual. β
"Men, just want to be fresh, wait for a long time, who knows if the prince will want her. β
"Does the prince not want her, but also you?" the whispering voice teased the people around him.
ββ¦β¦β
The noisy sounds around him regained the atmosphere before fΓΉ, and for the discussion that came into his ears, Lin Xiaoyu was in and out of his left ear, and his thoughts had already wandered to Lin Xiaoyu. Before she met her senior brother, she had imagined countless scenes of encounters, but she never expected to be in that situation. The strange thing is, how could he appear at the palace gate, is it a coincidence, or something else, could it be that he will also come to the palace banquet today?
As soon as the idea came up, Lin Xiaoyou unconsciously shook his head and denied it. Impossible, what the senior brother has always liked is the leisurely landscape, the happy rivers and lakes, and it is impossible to enter the palace to seek fame.
"The emperor has arrived, and the queen mother has arrived. Just as he was thinking about it, the eunuch's shrill voice sounded, and everyone knelt down and saluted. "See the emperor, the queen mother. β
"Flat. I saw that outside the door, Xiahou Yixuan's majestic figure appeared in everyone's sight, Yin Qiumeng supported Yin Fengqing and the three palace concubines dressed as women on one side, and behind him was Yi Hongyuan with Yi Wenqi and others.
Lin Xiaoyou was eager to confirm her thoughts with a skeptical attitude, she wanted to see what Lin Xiaoyu had come, but she didn't expect that at this glance, she didn't see Lin Xiaoyu, but she saw a special person. looked stunned, and couldn't react for a while.
What surprised her was neither the imperial concubine nor the queen mother's minister, but the shadow hidden behind the crowd. She carefully hid in the crowd, her thin appearance looked particularly lonely, and she lowered her head as if she was deliberately hiding herself.
Is that---
Just a glance from a distance, Lin Xiaoyu's heart was filled with sourness. I haven't seen her attend the previous palace banquets, but this time I unexpectedly came to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, and I can't imagine it. If it weren't for herself, how could she be in such a situation.
