Chapter 43: Rivals in Love Meet

I don't know how today, the more the two talked, the more speculative they became, Empress Dowager Pei's tea addiction was committed again, Mu Chenghuang was busy asking Wen Zhi to go back to the palace to get two pots of good tea in the palace, and named the new tea from the small mother tree in Zhengshan.

Wen Zhi carefully held the can of tea back to Shoukang Palace, in order to hurry, he did not take the palace road, but bypassed a path in Qianli Pond, and happened to see Mu Chengyao and Qi Donghai chatting, but I didn't hear what they were talking about, but the two of them got together, which couldn't help but make people suspicious.

Wen Zhi whispered in Mu Chenghuang's ear for a while, and Empress Dowager Pei, who had been squinting her eyes and waiting for Mu Chenghuang to make good tea, suddenly spoke leisurely: "What are you talking about?" ”

Mu Chenghuang was slightly stunned, but he still indifferently continued the movements in his hands, opened the Zhengshan small seed sent by Wenzhi smoothly, took an appropriate amount of tea with bamboo tweezers, and replied while clipping: "It's not Wenzhi's girl, I don't worry about it, I said that I saw Qi Donghai chatting with the Fourth Emperor Sister on the way here, and I was nervous." ”

The more Mu Chenghuang said it, the more Empress Dowager Pei felt that there was something about it, but she didn't show it in front of Mu Chenghuang, just said lightly: "In the future, it will be a family in the end, and it is good to know more about it before, and to be familiar with it." ”

Mu Chengyao is about to marry Lingnan, what understanding and familiarity exists, Empress Dowager Pei said this, just to test Mu Chenghuang's attitude towards Qi Donghai.

Mu Chenghuang put the tea leaves into the teapot with his backhand and said with a smile: "Also, Dashun and Beiliang have been good for so many years, and they have long been considered a family." ”

Empress Dowager Pei raised her eyes slightly, and Mama Gu immediately retreated with the little palace maids who served, leaving only Empress Dowager Pei and Mu Chenghuang, and Empress Dowager Pei said to Mu Chenghuang: "You know what the mourning family said, it doesn't mean that, if you want to talk about the marriage with Qi Donghai, you will be a matter of moments, but if you don't talk about it, the mourning family will not force you." After Empress Dowager Pei finished her last sentence, she sighed a little leisurely, "But the mourning family doesn't force you, but I don't know if anyone else will force you." ”

Mu Chenghuang knew in his heart that Empress Dowager Pei always respected herself, and as for Mu Yuanan, if it was as Mu Qinyi told her, Mu Yuanan would have to rely on her blood to suppress the toxicity for the rest of her life, how could she marry into Beiliang, when the whip was out of reach, let alone take blood, even the exchange of letters was not so convenient, Xu was with such confidence, Mu Chenghuang just bowed his head, and a bright and pure smile appeared on his bright face:" Cheng Huang doesn't want to marry yet, Cheng Huang simply won't marry for the rest of his life, so he will cook tea for the Queen Mother for a lifetime, okay?"

Empress Dowager Pei laughed when she heard this: "You monkey, talking is really getting more and more funny, even if you are willing to cook tea for the mourning family for a lifetime, the mourning family may not be able to live so long." After Empress Dowager Pei finished speaking, she coughed a few more times.

Mu Chenghuang handed the cooked Zhengshan small seed to the Empress Dowager Pei, and said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager will definitely live a long life." ”

"The mourning family doesn't want to live a long life. Empress Dowager Pei touched the teacup, the temperature was just right, but she was not in a hurry to see, she looked at the ups and downs of the tea with great appreciation, just like her life in this harem, ups and downs, unpredictable, there were people who wished her a long life before, she was all smiling, but for Mu Chenghuang, she was willing to say something from her heart, "In the harem, it is not a good thing to live a long life, although it is said that the one who laughs at the end is the one who laughs the best, but it does not mean that the one who lives to the end is the one with the best life." Empress Dowager Pei's eyes flashed with wisdom, "It's like what the mourning family said to you before." ”

Mu Chenghuang clearly remembered what the Empress Dowager Pei told her this morning, in fact, what the Empress Dowager Pei suspected was the same as what Mu Chenghuang had always suspected, that is, the previous Wushi San, although Pei Wen had been beaten into a trick, and the confession was also written that it was she who put five stone san in the spices, and when she was looking at the incense, she climbed onto the Buddhist altar and poured five stone san into the white jade Buddha beads, blaming the five princesses.

But among them, there are many doubts, first, that Pei Wen has no need to blame Mu Chenghuang at all, Mu Chenghuang has no grievances with her, and she has no grievances or hatred, and she blames Mu Chenghuang, doesn't it make a big deal on the contrary? Second, it is the footprints, although the footprints are already a little blurry, but it can be seen that it should be the big feet of two men, but Pei Wen confessed too quickly, and was solved too quickly, and this matter turned out to be a clueless thing.

In short, Mu Chenghuang would not believe it from beginning to end, all this was planned by Pei Wen, she already had a candidate for the crime in her heart, and she also believed that the Queen Mother's heart was the same as the person she chose.

The effort of the two teas passed, and it was not too early, and when Mu Chenghuang was about to get up and leave, Yu Dong came in and said that the Lord of Lingxi was here.

Mu Chenghuang was slightly stunned, thinking of hurrying up and leaving, but Empress Dowager Pei took the initiative to say: "Chenghuang, haven't you seen Lingxi yet, it just so happens today, she is the same age as you, and her personality is good, she first came to the capital, and she doesn't know a few people." ”

The implication is to let Mu Chenghuang accompany her, although Mu Qinyi had already expressed his intentions to himself that day, and the two of them also exchanged secrets with each other, in other words, the relationship and life experience between her and Mu Qinyi can be regarded as being honest with each other, but when she heard Zhou Lingxi, the county lord of Lingxi who entered Beijing under the name of Prince Su's fiancΓ©e, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Thinking about it, the curtain has been lifted by Yu Dong, a touch of goose yellow skirt into Mu Chenghuang's eyes, the person who came is like a clear stream in this summer, trickling into the Shoukang Palace, Zhou Lingxi is wearing a goose yellow skirt, draped in a pure white shawl, although simple, but dignified and lovely, plus that smart little face, no wonder, the nobles who have seen Zhou Lingxi before all said that this Lingxi county lord was born extremely likable and cute, and he didn't know how many grades higher than the previous queen mother's favorite Yunxi county lord who was the princess of Prince Su.

Zhou Lingxi came in steps, and bowed to the Empress Dowager Pei, the Empress Dowager Pei smiled like a lotus, Zhou Lingxi turned around again, and also saluted Mu Chenghuang: "Lingxi has seen the five princesses." ”

To tell the truth, as far as Zhou Lingxi's identity is concerned, Mu Chenghuang shouldn't have a good impression of her, but at least, Zhou Lingxi's behavior makes her hate it, not to mention, except for the name of this fiancΓ©e, she has nothing to provoke her, so Mu Chenghuang smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Get up, I've heard of the name of the Lingxi County Lord before, but I didn't see the Lingxi County Lord at the banquet a few days ago, I heard Zhou Guogong say that he broke his leg while riding a horse, and now it's better?"

Zhou Lingxi lifted the corners of her skirt lively, a pair of small and delicate little feet were wrapped in crescent-white embroidered shoes, she twisted her ankles lightly, and smiled at Mu Chenghuang: "Thank you for the fifth princess's concern, it's much better, you see, this can be moved." ”

Just asked, but I didn't expect this Lingxi County Lord to have such a true temperament, and Mu Chenghuang inevitably had a good impression of her.

Empress Dowager Pei smiled and asked Zhou Lingxi to sit down, and then pointed to the tea stove that was still rolling on the sea of tea and said: "It's a coincidence that you came, Cheng Huang's tea cooking skills are really a must, and today is a rare Zhengshan small species, and the mother tree of this Zhengshan small species is now only eight surviving, the so-called one or two thousand gold, but so, you came today, and you happened to taste some." ”

Zhou Lingxi was not polite, but he didn't hide his ignorance of the tea ceremony at all, and followed Mu Chenghuang step by step to learn how to taste tea, looking at her so serious, Mu Chenghuang couldn't help but smile: "If it's too difficult, the county lord just needs to follow his habit of drinking tea on weekdays." ”

Zhou Lingxi listened, and tasted it directly, this can't drink tea, in fact, no matter how expensive the tea is, it can't taste much difference, Zhou Lingxi tasted it carefully, and licked the corners of his lips hard, and said seriously: "It's very fresh, it's different from other teas." ”

Empress Dowager Pei said with a smile: "Look at this mouth, it's really a waste of this good tea, such a good tea, you only have a very fresh evaluation." ”

Although it was disgusting, but the Empress Dowager Pei didn't feel that it was a waste to drink Zhou Lingxi, Zhou Lingxi was refreshing, and said directly: "It's okay if the Queen Mother lets Lingxi perform a sword dance, but this tea tasting is really not Lingxi's strong point, but looking at the five princesses cooking tea and pouring tea so complicated, I also know that the five princesses' tea cooking skills are not ordinary, and it happens that Prince Su likes to drink tea, it seems that the five princesses and Prince Su like to go together." ”

Zhou Lingxi talked about Mu Qinyi unabashedly, which made Mu Chenghuang chuckle in his heart, but Zhou Lingxi actually talked about himself and Mu Qinyi together without hesitation, which made people feel that this girl really didn't have any thoughts.

Since it was said of Mu Qinyi, Empress Dowager Pei also asked tentatively: "I heard that after you entered Beijing, you often went to Prince Su's mansion, what kind of habit is this, you were young in Jiangnan before, and your father couldn't care about it, but now that you are a big girl, you don't worry about other people's gossip?"

Zhou Lingxi said calmly: "Prince Su is also Lingxi's cousin, what is this? Besides, Lingxi heard that there is a warrior who is quite capable of fighting in Prince Su's mansion, and I want to talk to him." What Zhou Lingxi thought in her heart was naturally Luo Ping, she lowered her head slightly, and two clouds flew up her cheeks, but in the eyes of Empress Dowager Pei, this seemed to be thinking about Mu Qinyi, Empress Dowager Pei just smiled and said: "Okay, this is a lot of thinking about the mourning family." ”

Zhou Lingxi's shyness also fell in Mu Chenghuang's eyes, she had some unbearable emotions in her heart, she believed that Mu Qinyi had no intention of Zhou Lingxi, otherwise, she would not have said those words to herself, but it was difficult to guarantee that Zhou Lingxi would not dislike Mu Qinyi. ...
