Only the old man in the white robe sat alone on the thatched pile, and the snow-white robe spread out at random like butterfly wings, without being stained with any dust and mud. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It wasn't until Mu Xinya's figure disappeared in front of him that the old man stroked his beard thoughtfully, stretched out his hand to pour himself a glass of wine, and swept the entire ruined temple with his afterglow, laughing self-deprecatingly.

There is no room for him here.

After drinking this glass of wine, it was time for him to go.

"Girl, where are you going now?"

When they got back into the carriage, the coachman asked in a loud voice.

A quiet voice came from the curtain, "Back to the city." ”

The coachman yawned lazily, "How big the city must be, you should tell me a specific place, otherwise where will I find it!" ”

After a long silence, the previous voice sounded again.

"The Imperial Palace, is it okay?"

The coachman almost didn't fall down, and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he shook his hand and raised his horsewhip, "Oops! Go now! ”

As the saying goes, it's better to rush early than to be lucky.

If Mu Xinya knew what day it was, she estimated that she would wake up laughing when she dreamed.

The splendid palace is extremely strictly guarded today, and from time to time you can see groups of Imperial Guards walking by.

The carriage came to a halt after a long distance, and the coachman poked his head and asked incredulously, "Girl, are you sure you are coming here?" ”

Mo Lan stuffed him with an ingot, "Don't mention this to anyone, otherwise, be careful of your head." ”

Oh my god, what a fierce woman!

The coachman was startled, seeing that she looked dignified and elegant, and his eyebrows were clear-eyed, he didn't expect to say such a frightening thing. The coachman took the money and drove away in his carriage.

"My aunt is so good." Le Ling squeezed her eyes at Mo Lan.

Mo Lan ignored her, followed Mu Xinya's gaze, and said what she was thinking, "Is there anything important in the palace today?" It's a big formation. ”

The emperor decreed that the mother would not return to the palace, could they really enter openly? Isn't this a blatant disobedience to the holy decree and a refutation of the face of the Son of Heaven? Mo Lan was very worried.

"Just go and see."

Mu Xinya didn't say a word, she walked over first, and the other two immediately followed her.

The expressionless Imperial Forest Army with a long sword at his waist and a long halberd in his hand was walking around, and when he saw three people coming, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, and the long sword in his hand was horizontal.

"Who's coming?!"

Mu Xinya didn't even look at him, her eyes stared at the front faintly, and Mo Lan next to her spoke: "This is Concubine Jin, why don't you hurry up and salute?"

The Imperial Forest Army didn't recognize Concubine Jin's appearance, and her face was suspicious, but her face eased slightly, "Didn't Concubine Jin go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to recuperate?" Why did you suddenly come back to the palace? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the Imperial Forester next to him, and the man immediately ran quietly to find someone to verify.

"Why, can't Hongu come back?" Mu Xinya, who was standing in the center, finally spoke up, raised her eyes and asked him, her beautiful face was calm.

Shocked by her beauty, the Guards reacted quickly and hung their heads in fear. It is definitely not easy to have such a beautiful woman, maybe she is really Concubine Jin.

That's not someone they can offend!

Soon, Zhou Dehai came.

As soon as he looked at it from afar, he was stunned, rubbed his eyes in surprise, and looked again: That's right, it's really Concubine Jin who is here!

A shrill voice came from afar, "Oops! Concubine Jin! What wind is blowing you back? ”

When the surrounding royal forest soldiers heard this, they all immediately knelt down to salute Concubine Jin and make amends.

When she met an "acquaintance", Mu Xinya looked a little and knew why he was so surprised, but she just didn't mention it, and smiled politely:

"How is Father-in-law Zhou lately?"

It doesn't matter if he's okay or not, what matters is how you got back!

Okay, it's okay for you to go back to the palace!

It's just in time for a day like this!

Zhou Dehai's smooth forehead oozed dense cold sweat, but because there were too many people around him, he didn't dare to attack, so he laughed dryly, lowered his voice and reminded nervously:

"Concubine Jin, have you forgotten the holy decree that the old slave went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to proclaim before?"

Naturally, it refers to the divine decree that kept her out of the palace.

Mo Lan and Le Ling were a little embarrassed and worried on their faces, but Mu Xinya's face did not change, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said without being salty: "Of course I remember."

Remember you're still here?!

Zhou Dehai was sweating more urgently, and he couldn't hold his face, "Concubine Jin, do you know what day it is?" This is the emperor's sacrifice day, the emperor is going to hold a ceremony for the emperor, and now, everyone is gathered in the Jinluan Palace! The ceremony is about to begin, so what can you do when you come back! ”

Zhou Dehai asked and answered himself, very nervous, especially - "Niangniang, not to mention the emperor's holy decree, on this day, you are really not suitable to appear in front of everyone." ”

He spoke in a lower and lower voice, looking at her gorgeous dress in embarrassment.

Oh?

Now even a eunuch has come to chase her?

Mu Xinya stayed in place, did not move for a long time, and did not open her mouth to speak. His thin lips were pursed, and there was a faint mist under his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The atmosphere was very delicate for a while.

Mo Lan and Le Ling couldn't help but tighten the corners of their clothes, Zhou Dehai raised the back of his hand and kept wiping the sweat, but he couldn't wipe it dry.

It seemed like a long time before she finally spoke:

"This palace understands, don't disturb my father-in-law, father-in-law and go get busy."

The flat voice meant that she didn't mean anything angry.

"Huh?" Zhou Dehai opened his mouth in surprise, but Mu Xinya ignored him anymore, he knew that he was not interested, so he bent over and saluted, waved his hand to the royal forest soldiers who were still kneeling around him and asked them to get up, only to take a few steps back, turn around and enter the palace gate.

His back quickly disappeared from view.

"Miss, are we going home?" Leling asked weakly.

Home?

Why did they go home?

Mu Xinya suddenly burst into a strange smile, turned to face the two of them, shook her head and asked, "Am I really not suitable for participating in the festival?"

Mo Lan and Le Ling looked at each other in surprise, and then nodded in unison.

It really doesn't fit ......

The memorial service is to wear plain clothes and not white flowers......

She suddenly sighed in frustration, and just as the other two were about to be disheartened, a confident voice suddenly sounded, which shook the hearts of the two of them.

"Mo Lan, can you lend me something?"

Mo Lan looked up and saw Mu Xinya with her hands behind her back, tilting her head, and winking at her playfully with her big sparkling eyes.

Golden Luang Hall.

The civil and military officials all changed into solemn black robes, gathered in black and pressed around His Highness, and consciously arranged in two long columns according to their positions, with no end in sight. The holy cars of the emperor and the queen mother have not yet appeared, and the officials have exchanged heads and whispers.

The head of the civil officials is still Mu Chengtian, and at this moment, opposite him, standing at the forefront of the military attache column, there is no doubt that it is the mighty general - Fang Zhenye.

Fang Zhenye's face was serious, his back was straight, if it seemed in the past, he must have been high-spirited, and he should be strong when he is old. However, today, Mu Chengtian noticed a trace of fatigue and decadence from his eyebrows, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows gloatingly.

It must have been for the war on the frontier and for his disobedient son.

As keen as Fang Zhenye, he immediately noticed Mu Chengtian's prying eyes, and his eagle eyes glanced at him unhappily.

Mu Chengtian retracted his gaze and coughed a few times in embarrassment, at this time, he only heard the surrounding officials all bend over and salute:

"Rou Concubine Niangniang Jin'an."

He hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see Mu Luorou dressed in a plain white silk dress, with small and lustrous pearls hanging from her earlobes, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of big eyes on her goose egg face were clear and flawless, revealing a simple beauty. The lotus step moved lightly, and walked over with the support of the orb.

Mu Luorou's whole person looks like an innocent and ignorant girl, more like a young girl who has not yet come out of the pavilion, and is fresher and more attractive than the newly knotted green peaches on the tree.

Seeing her, Fang Zhenye also had to bend down to salute, Mu Chengtian saw his proud daughter from a distance, and his old face suddenly brightened countless times, and he squinted with a smile for a while.

It's not in vain that he has loved Rou'er for so many years, and Rou'er is really angry for him.

Mu Luorou had a dignified and elegant smile on her face, with a thousand demeanors, when her eyes swept to her father looking at her with old eyes, the smile on her face froze, her eyes showed a little resentment, and she turned her head and stepped on the steps.

The confused father is now a rebellious minister and thief who will rebel at any time, she has to stay away from him!

Poor Mu Chengtian didn't know this, his eyes were straight, and he couldn't get a response from his baby daughter. He also comforted himself, because he was now in the palace, and Rou'er, as a concubine, had to focus on the overall situation, so he couldn't bear to ignore her father's appearance.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live! The Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose! Fang Guifei Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an! ”

He was secretly thinking about it, when the sound of bowing suddenly sounded in his ears, Mu Chengtian reacted for a long time, and found that no one around him was standing for a long time, and they all knelt down, and many people were secretly looking at him with their spare eyes.

Including the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and Fang Yuyi, who were standing not far away, were also looking at him with their eyes!

Mu Chengtian's legs were weak, and he was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground, and a burst of ridicule sounded around him, making his old face flush with shame.

Mu Luorou, who was kneeling on the steps, saw this scene, her ears burned hotly, and she glared at her father resentfully. How could she have such a stupid father who disgraced her and died!

Looking at Mu Chengtian who was kneeling on the ground, the Queen Mother's face was not very good-looking, she didn't look at him, and said, "Emperor, let's go."

Yuan Xin didn't have any expression, nodded and agreed, "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

Fang Yuyi, who was also dressed in a white dress, after paying attention to Fang Zhenye, held the queen mother's arm and slowly stepped on the steps leading to the Jinluan Palace.

When passing by Mu Luorou's side, the Queen Mother paused, and Mu Luorou, who lowered her head, saw the gilded phoenix pattern on her skirt, her heart jumped, and she hurriedly raised her little face flatteringly, and said very well-behaved: "The concubine asks the Queen Mother and the Emperor to say goodbye."
