Chapter 32 Traveling to Huguo Temple
Soon Mu Wanting finished freshening up, because she was going to Huguo Temple, Mu Wanting wore a cyan long skirt, which set off her elegant dust. Mu Chengping looked at Mu Wanting's outfit, and his eyes showed deep appreciation. is worthy of his favorite daughter.
Mu Wanting slowly walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion under the leadership of Mu Chengping. As soon as she got out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Wanting saw a gorgeous carriage painted with mahogany lacquered parked outside the mansion, followed by a team of Praetorian Guards and Xiao Lizi who spoke specifically for her queen's aunt, and next to Xiao Lizi stood a big palace maid that Mu Wanting didn't know.
Looking at the gorgeous carriage, Mu Wanting's eyes flashed with a smug smile as well as the cronies of the queen's aunt and the Praetorian Guard, which could only be equipped by members of the royal family.
Mu Wanting thought that this trip to Huguo Temple was a punishment for herself after the queen's aunt was found to have bullied the nine princesses, and now it seems that although it is a punishment for herself, she may lose her play with the arrangement of the queen's aunt. Thinking about this, the smile in Mu Wanting's eyes couldn't help but deepen.
Lan Xiang beside the carriage looked at the smile in Mu Wanting's eyes, and a trace of coldness quickly flashed in her eyes. Xiao Lizi saw his master's favorite niece and master's brother slowly walking out of the prime minister's mansion, and Xiao Lizi hurriedly greeted him.
said flatteringly: "The Prime Minister, Little Lizi, has come to give you a gift."
As soon as Xiao Lizi's words fell, Mu Chengping said gently and magnificently: "My father-in-law is polite, the little girl will be handed over to my father-in-law in Huguo Temple" After speaking, Mu Chengping took out a bulging purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Xiao Lizi's hand without a trace.
The smile on Xiao Lizi's face became more and more sincere after receiving the purse, and her voice was more flattering: "Prime Minister, taking care of Ling Ai is the queen's order to our family, and our family should go all out."
"Okay, well, that little girl will trouble her father-in-law"
"No hassle, no hassle"
"Ting'er, come and see Xiao Li's father-in-law"
Mu Wanting watched her father and Xiao Lizi playing Tai Chi on the side, and she happily watched the play on the side. Suddenly hearing her father calling herself, Mu Wanting obediently walked out from behind Mu Chengping and saluted Xiao Lizi.
Then he said softly: "Wan'er has seen Xiao Li's father-in-law"
Xiao Lizi saw Mu Wanting saluting him and hurriedly helped Mu Wanting up, and then said, "Oops! My little ancestor, you can torture the slaves, this can not be done, you are the heart of the queen's mother, how dare our family accept such a gift from you"
After speaking, Xiao Lizi couldn't help but secretly wipe a handful of sweat for herself in her heart, because Mu Wanting was deeply loved by her master, and Mu Wanting left an indelible impression in the hearts of the palace people in Weiyang Palace, of course, this is not a good impression.
Because Mu Wanting's nature will be repaid, the palace people who provoked Mu Wanting in Weiyang Palace were punished by Mu Wanting for various reasons, although Xiao Lizi has a little thin face in front of the queen, but no matter how much face a slave has, it is impossible to surpass the master. Xiao Lizi didn't want to let herself become the next object of Mu Wanting's punishment.
Mu Wanting looked at Xiao Lizi's appearance, and the dissatisfaction in her heart because of her saluting a slave gradually subsided, so Mu Wanting said obediently: "Father-in-law, you are polite, I still hope that my father-in-law will take care of the little girl in the Huguo Temple."
Lan Xiang saw that the three of you were coming and going, and she didn't know when she was going to set off, so Lan Xiang preemptively said before Xiao Li Zi could speak: "Prime Minister Mu, it's not too early for the slave to see the sky, it's better to set off early, otherwise you may encounter some trouble on the way because of the sky."
Lan Xiang's interjection made Mu Wanting feel a little dissatisfied in her heart, so Mu Wanting's face became unhappy. Mu Chengping looked at Xiao Lizi with a puzzled expression, and then Xiao Lizi hurriedly came out and said, "Look at our family's memory, our family hasn't introduced Aunt Lanxiang to Xiangye."
So Xiao Lizi pointed to Lan Xiang and introduced to Mu Chengping that Lan Xiang was the identity of the palace maid next to the Queen Mother. After speaking, Mu Chengping said to Lan Xiang: "Aunt Lan Xiang, the little girl will trouble her aunt to take care of one or two."
Lan Xiang replied to the question: "It's not early in the prime minister, it's time for me to go."
Mu Chengping saw Lan Xiang's cold appearance, so he no longer was bored with himself, turned around and explained a few more words to Mu Wanting, and Mu Wanting took the maid into the carriage. Xiao Li Zi and Lan Xiang each stood on either side of the carriage. The carriage slowly moved out of the city.
In Biluoxuan, I saw Ting Lan standing in front of the courtyard council hall, assigning something to a group of masked people in black clothes according to the instructions of the west wind and Cangyue, and finally heard Ting Lan say loudly: "Let's take action!" So the people in black disappeared in Biluoxuan in an orderly manner.
In the Kunning Palace, I saw an old slave who was kneeling in the Buddha hall and said to the Empress Dowager Xiaoye: "A qiē orchid incense in the Niangniang Huguo Temple has been arranged, and in order to protect the country, Lanxiang followed him to the Huguo Temple."
After speaking, the Empress Dowager Xiaoye, who closed her eyes, immediately opened her eyes, and then said: "After following the mourning family for so many years, you can see everything the mourning family has done in your eyes, is it ・・・・・・ to Ling Yan's child to mourn the family?"
"Niangniang, don't think too much, you are doing this for the foundation of Chu Qingguo for hundreds of years, for the reputation of the royal family, I believe that Queen Lingyan will understand you. What's more, you have been spending so much time for Queen Lingyan, even if Queen Lingyan has a big grievance, it has dissipated after all these years. Mama Ye comforted on the side.
"I hope so" After speaking, the Empress Dowager Xiaoye closed her eyes again and recited the Buddhist scriptures. What the Empress Dowager Xiaoye didn't know was outside the Buddhist hall, and the ninth princess Beiming Xueyi listened to all the conversations between the two.
Cold sweat gradually flowed from Beiming Xueyi's beautiful forehead, and Beiming Xueyi knew that she had heard terrible news, so she quietly withdrew from Kunning Palace. On the way, Beiming Xueyi was lucky not to meet a palace person.
After the ninth princess woke up after last night's fright, she learned from Miaohong that it was the Empress Dowager Xiaoye who saved her. She originally came to thank the Empress Dowager Xiaoye, but she didn't want to hear about her third emperor brother and fourth emperor brother and mother.
The ninth princess thought that although she and her mother were invisible in the palace all these years, she should suffer the same troubles, although the imperial grandmother liked herself, but in some places where the imperial grandmother could not see, she and her mother concubine might have died if she had not been helped by the three imperial brothers.
At that time, the catastrophe of Weiyang Beiming Xueyi intermittently heard from the old man in the palace that the catastrophe of Weiyang was the death of Queen Liu, and it was rumored that Queen Liu died of illness, but all the people in Weiyang Palace were killed to accompany Queen Liu to be buried. But no one knows what is going on.
Over the years, her third emperor brother has been investigating the hidden secrets, but there has been no progress. What she heard today, Beiming Xueyi knew that she would let her brother who had helped her have a direction to investigate. But she didn't know whether to sue her third emperor brother or not.
On the one hand, she is a grandmother who loves her, and on the other hand, she is a royal brother who has a life-saving grace for her and her mother. She had a hunch that if she said it, it would cause a royal turmoil. So she didn't know what to do.
After leaving Kunning Palace, Beiming Xueyi kept running to the Xiyan Hall where Lin Zhaoyi lived, and while running, she hesitated whether to tell her third emperor brother about today's incident. As she passed through the Imperial Garden, she heard a familiar voice sound.
"Ninth sister, you didn't tell the truth on the street yesterday" Beiming Xueyi's footsteps stopped unnaturally, and when she turned around stiffly, she saw Beiming Xuanche looking at her with a complicated expression.
