"Concubine Jin, these lowly billets have no rules, they are all old ministers who are not strict in discipline on weekdays, and they hope that Niangniang will atone for their sins. Turning his head, he explained with an embarrassed smile.

Mu Xinya sneered in her heart, Le Ling lowered her head behind her, and her heart was also stormy because of the former head of her family.

As for Mo Lan, the impact in her heart was no less than that of the two of them. Looking at Mu Chengtian's hypocritical face, she couldn't bear to look at it directly, and she hated him for ruining the eldest princess's life with such scum.

"Prime Minister Mu Cheng is guilty, just a few subordinates, and this palace will not meet them in general. This time I came to recuperate, and I had to take care of the prime minister. ”

Mu Xinya curled the corners of her lips and said lightly. The beautiful eyes were slightly red because she had just cried, but because she had just woken up from a coma, others did not think it was strange, but focused all their attention on her face, which looked like the eldest lady.

They have long been frightened, how can they care about anything else?!

As she spoke, she glanced at it inadvertently, only to find that among the people who came, there was no one she wanted to see the most-Mu Luorou's mother-in-law, the eldest lady Zhao Yuling, and a faint sense of loss swelled in her heart.

It's a pity.

However, there is no hurry, it will be long in the future.

Her heart became clear again.

Soon, Mu Chengtian's voice sounded, "Concubine Jin is too worried, how can the old minister feel that it is tired? Niangniang's presence is the honor of the Prime Minister's house, and it is too late for the old minister to beat the gong and drum to welcome!" He laughed embarrassedly a few times, and then stretched out his arm respectfully and said: "It's windy outside, the mother's daughter's body, golden branches and jade leaves, you must not stand the wind and cold." The old minister has already ordered someone to prepare a private attic for the mother, and wait for the lady at any time. ”

As soon as these words came out, the maidservants relaxed a little. In this way, this lady from the palace only looks like the eldest lady, if she is really the eldest lady, how could the prime minister speak to her in such a respectful tone? Moreover, the eldest lady is not a delicate golden branch and jade leaf.

As for Leling, because she was just an inconspicuous subordinate who served in the house, no one remembered her and forgot about her early.

In fact, the servants are also weak-minded, after all, they used to look down on people with dogs' eyes, and never put Ling Mengyun's mother and daughter in their eyes, and always changed their ways to make things difficult for them, but now they are naturally afraid that the eldest lady will come back to seek revenge.

"Prime Minister Lao bothered. ”

Mu Xinya also understood the thoughts of those people, knowing that they were scared, she smiled slightly, and did not look at the kneeling person, but walked forward, and the beautiful skirt rose gently with her steps.

It's true that she doesn't meet them like them, but that doesn't mean she'll let them go.

Mu Chengtian was still bowing his head and bending over, seeing that she had already walked away, he flicked his sleeves with a gloomy look in his eyes, and followed in stride, and soon the people gathered at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion followed him and left.

Several palace guards have also completed the tasks assigned by the emperor and drove the carriage in the direction of the palace.

There is almost no change in the Prime Minister's Mansion, high-rise pavilions, rockery and spiritual springs, gorgeous and extravagant.

Mu Xinya walked into the mansion door and stopped a few steps, turned around and said, "Please also ask the Prime Minister to lead the way." ”

Mu Chengtian was quietly trying to test it to see if she had really forgotten the past as Luo Rou said, and when she heard her ask him to lead the way, it really didn't look like she remembered.

Or, she hid too deeply, and her acting skills were enough to confuse the real with the fake.

Mu Chengtian put on a hypocritical smile, "Does Niangniang want to go to the Accord to rest now, or do you want to walk around in the garden of the mansion?"

"Hmm......" Mu Xinya pondered for a moment, pursed her lips and suddenly smiled: "It's boring to stay in the palace, the prime minister is such a famous family in the capital, since the palace is here, it always has to go around, otherwise wouldn't it be a pity." ”

Mu Chengtian also smiled suspiciously, raised his arm and pointed in the direction of the back garden, "It's rare to be Niang Niang Yaxing, please here-"

Prime Minister's Mansion Houyuan.

The eldest lady Zhao Yuling was sitting upright in the room, holding the letter that Mu Luorou gave her yesterday. In black and white, the words hit her heart.

"Big lady, people are coming. ”

The maidservant came to her softly and offered her a cup of freshly brewed Biluochun.

Zhao Yuling said a cold "um", unhurriedly folded the letter and stuffed it under the pillow, and reached out to take the tea. I didn't rush to drink it, but pinched the lid of the cup and gently lifted the hot tea.

"Where is Mu Xinya now?" her voice was cold, diametrically opposed to the temperature of the tea.

"Mrs. Hui, the lord is accompanying her, walking in the back garden. ”

Zhao Yuling shook his hand, his face was gloomy with heavy makeup, and a mocking sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "The lowly sparrow turned over and became a green peacock, and now he still wants to compete with the Golden Phoenix." You say, how can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world?"

Of course, the maid understood who the "sparrow" and "golden phoenix" in her mouth were referring to, and echoed: "What the eldest lady said is extremely true, in the world, only Rou Niangniang is the real golden phoenix, and in front of the phoenix, the sparrow can only give her shoes." ”

Zhao Yuling raised his thin eyebrows, and his tone was extremely arrogant, "She doesn't even deserve the shoes for Rou'er to give me! A sparrow will always be a sparrow, don't think about turning over in your life, with me, no one will ever think about fighting my daughter!"

As soon as her arm was stretched, the maid immediately took the teacup in her hand knowingly, Zhao Yuling couldn't even wait for water to drink, and got up and was about to go to the back garden - to meet the little slut.

"Madame, where are you going?"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice floated strangely at the door of the room, Zhao Yuling stood still, and found that Zhugen was standing there at some point, and couldn't help but be startled.

"What are you doing there? Who told you to come?" she glared at him unhappily after seeing that it was him.

Zhugen didn't answer her, first walked in by himself, and then bent over and saluted: "The eldest lady is angry, the little one just wants to ask, what is the lady going to do next?"

From afar, he smelled the strong smell of fat powder on Zhao Yuling's body, after all, she was also an old and decrepit woman, her appearance was not very outstanding when she was young, and she could only rely on jewelry fat powder to support her face when she was old, and it was no wonder that Mu Chengtian had accepted several young and beautiful concubines in recent years.

Takegen didn't like her usual arrogant face, but on the surface, he still had to obey her—her incomparably precious phoenix daughter had slept with him, could he not listen to her?

Where did Zhao Yuling know this, thinking that he was just a somewhat capable Jianghu warlock, and he didn't know that her baby Rou'er had already been ridden by him and had been ruined countless times. The willow eyebrows were upside down, and he squinted at him with a proud face and said, "I'm going to the back garden, and I'll meet that little slut Mu Xinya!"

Zhugen smiled meaninglessly and reminded: "Big lady, Mu Xinya is not a little slut now, she is the emperor's pillow person, the famous Concubine Jinniang." ”

After speaking, he also made a respectful gesture to express his respect for Concubine Jin.

The servant girl who was waiting next to him saw his actions, her face was "brushed" white, and she couldn't see anything regardless of whether he was blind, so she raised her head and glared at him fiercely. Why is this guy so brainless, can this kind of thing be said in front of the eldest lady?

Sure enough, the eldest lady's face changed greatly, and she suddenly showed anger, and before she could open her mouth, she heard Zhugen say again:

Xiao Zi's words definitely don't mean to offend Madame, just to remind Madame that this time is different from the past, and it should be for the sake of Rou Niangniang and the Prime Minister's net worth, Madame still has to act with the Prime Minister on the surface. ”

As soon as he heard "Rou Niangniang", Zhao Yuling's face softened slightly, and he didn't speak again for a long time. Although she has a domineering temperament, she still understands the reason, no matter how unwilling she is, she has to admit that Mu Xinya is now above her Mu family, and she is also above Rou'er.

Even when Rou'er saw her, she had to salute her!

"I know all this, and I don't need you to remind me yet. ”

Zhao Yuling looked indifferent, shook the silk silk in his hand, walked past him towards the door, coldly dropped a sentence, and the maidservant immediately followed her footsteps.

Takegen stood in place, touched the black mole on his chin, a faint smile appeared on his dark and thin face, and turned to follow.

At this time, in the garden of Qinxiang.

A woman in gorgeous clothes walked slowly on the cobblestone path with lotus steps, her clear eyes moving around carelessly, and finally stopped by a rockery.

"The begonia flowers in this prime minister's house are really gorgeous. ”

She bent down slightly, reached out and stroked the delicate flowers of the begonia, and muttered thoughtfully.

Mu Chengtian, who was following her, was carefully observing the expression on her face from beginning to end, and saw that she was not interested in other rare herbs and flowers in the Xiangfu, but lingered at a few inconspicuous begonias, and asked:

"Niang Niang likes begonia flowers?"

Mu Xinya stroked Haitang's hand lightly, glanced at Mu Chengtian who was staring at her, and suddenly lost interest. He withdrew his hand and straightened up, shook his head and said, "I don't like it or not." ”

Mu Chengtian also straightened up and looked around, "Hehe, because the insiders have always liked flowers and plants, so they are usually very concerned about this back garden......

Wife?

Isn't it Zhao Yuling?

Mu Xinya's face darkened, of course she remembered how precious the eldest lady was to her Qinxiang Garden. When she was five years old, she secretly folded a flower here, and was seen by the maid holding her arm to tell the truth, and the eldest lady gave her a slap without saying a word. Then, for the next two months, she and her mother could only drink two meals of thin rice porridge a day, and they were hungry all day long, as a punishment for that flower.

Thinking of the past, her eyes showed hatred, looking at the rare flowers and plants in the garden, she suddenly gave birth to a kind of hatred - I can't wait to burn this place with a fire.

"It's strange to say, I've been here for so long, why can't I see the Prime Minister's wife in this palace?" she raised her eyes to look at Mu Chengtian and asked strangely.
