Chapter 558: What are you plotting?
gradually moved away from the family sending procession, and gradually it was no longer clear that Mo Yichen and Lord An Yu were gone.
Mu Xiyue stood in place and watched, sighing secretly, but before she could retract her thoughts, she was led by a voice behind her.
"Xiyue County Lord, the Queen Mother is invited."
The voice of the duck voice is still the same as usual, Mu Xiyue turned her face to look at her father-in-law who came to deliver the message, and the expression in her eyes sank a little.
"Sister!"
Hearing that it was the Queen Mother's invitation, Mu Xiyan's face couldn't help but show a touch of panic, and she reached out and grabbed Mu Xiyue's arm, with a nervous and worried face.
When investigating Song Xinran's affairs before, the Queen Mother's attitude changed significantly, although in the end she still couldn't stop Song Xinran's fate, but it was very clear that the Queen Mother obviously didn't have a good impression of their sisters, and now Mo Yichen just left to spread it, which always makes people feel a little worried.
"It's okay, there's residual snow, you can go back first!"
Knowing what Mu Xiyan was worried about, Mu Xiyue turned around and patted her gently on the back of her hand.
Turning to look at the father-in-law who came to deliver the message, the corners of his lips hooked up a light smile: "Entering the Shengde Gate is to get the favor of Concubine Duan, and I also ask my father-in-law to allow me to transfer the token to the Seventh Princess." ”
The father-in-law looked at Mu Xiyue's calm face, the expression in his eyes wandered for a moment, nodded in agreement, and just followed her closely beside him, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
"Xiao Qi, this is the token of Concubine Duan, you transfer it to her for me, I have to go to the Queen Mother first, and I can go to see her later."
Mu Xiyue's voice was still calm, and while speaking, she handed the token in her hand to the seventh princess and patted it gently.
"Huh? Oh! ”
The seventh princess was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, took Mu Xiyue's sign, watched her leave with the public, turned around and found Mu Xiyan dragging her away.
"Where are we going?"
Being dragged away coldly by the Seventh Princess, Mu Xiyan didn't react for a while, and while speaking, there was a little tremor in her voice.
The seventh princess didn't stop, just turned around and glanced at Mu Xiyan, and lowered her voice: "Go to the Fuhua Palace, at this time, the Queen Mother will pass Sister Xiyue over, there must be something, you have to inform the mother concubine as soon as possible, so that she can prepare, just in case." ”
Listening to the words of the seventh princess, Mu Xiyan was even more nervous, but now was not the time to speak, so she could only follow her back, and the expression on her face became more solemn.
Mu Xiyue followed her father-in-law to Yanshou Palace, her steps were steady, her posture was upright, so that people couldn't find a trace of fault, and her calm face was even more quiet, which made her father-in-law who led the way in front a little surprised.
"It's a bit interesting for you to react like this, if someone else had asked a long time ago, especially the county lord An Yu who had just left!"
When she was about to arrive at Yanshou Palace, her father-in-law stopped and looked at Mu Xiyue, his eyes swept over her face, and the expression between his eyes flowed, and soon disappeared again.
Mu Xiyue stopped and looked at her father-in-law, the corners of her lips were hooked, and a light smile appeared on her originally calm face: "Things that can't be said, if you ask, your father-in-law won't say it, and the things that can be said, with a kind heart like your father-in-law, you will definitely mention something or two, just like now, isn't it?" ”
The father-in-law was stunned for a moment, looking at Mu Xiyue so quiet, he sighed leisurely, and there was a little helplessness in his voice: "You are a smart one, our family only tells you one word, you can listen carefully." ”
Seeing that this father-in-law was indeed intentionally reminded, Mu Xiyue brought a grateful smile on her face and leaned towards her father-in-law.
The father-in-law glanced around to make sure that no one on the side could pay attention, so he lowered his voice and muttered quietly: "After entering, pay attention to the things at the entrance!" ”
After saying a word, without waiting for Mu Xiyue's reaction, her father-in-law had already turned around, continued to move forward, and stepped into the gate of Yanshou Palace.
Mu Xiyue's expression on her face changed slightly, and at the same time, her hands couldn't help but clench, and when she saw her father-in-law take two steps and stop to look, she raised her heel and walked.
As soon as she entered the gate of Yanshou Palace, Mu Xiyue heard the sound of laughter coming from inside, and her face was stunned, and she clearly recognized the voice of the princess of Pingyang Palace, and suddenly understood the purpose of this trip.
Hearing the announcement outside, the laughter inside stopped abruptly, and the Queen Mother waved her hand, only to hear one voice: "Xuan!" ”
Mu Xiyue walked inside, as if she hadn't heard anything just now, and the moment she saw the concubine, her face couldn't help but be shocked, and she hurriedly saluted.
"Come on, get up!"
The Queen Mother was obviously very happy, and at the moment she spoke, she raised her hand and made a gesture, and then stretched out her hand to call Mu Xiyue to herself.
"Queen Mother, you are domineering, this child is our family!"
The concubine had a little jealousy on her face, but her face was full of smiles, and as she spoke, her eyes fell on Mu Xiyue's face, as if something had never happened before.
"Anyway, it's all from your family, and you can't let the mourning family be rare and rare while you haven't passed the door yet?" As she spoke, the Queen Mother stretched out her hand to pull Mu Xiyue to her side, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her face was full of smiles.
Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Mu Xiyue only felt goosebumps all over her body, and she couldn't help but want to tremble, but her hand was pulled by the Queen Mother, so she endured it.
These two people are singing double reeds again, and they are obviously plotting something, but they don't hit the smiling person, since they like it, let's accompany them.
"Okay, okay, who dares to rob people around the Queen Mother?" As she spoke, the concubine showed a touch of helplessness on her face, and at the same time reached out and picked up a piece of cloud cake and put it in her mouth.
"Xiyue has liked to eat cloud cakes since she was a child, come on, this is what the imperial chef has just made, you can taste it!"
While speaking, the Queen Mother and the Concubine proved that they generally ate a slice each, and while eating, they looked at Mu Xiyue, and the smile on their faces remained unchanged.
"Empress Dowager Qi, there has been some internal fire in many matters in the past two days, although this cloud cake is refreshing and sweet, Xiyue is not happy."
Mu Xiyue's voice was calm and indifferent, and she pushed things over without being salty.
The queen mother's face moved slightly, her hand chewing the cloud cake stopped leisurely, her eyes looked at the concubine, and the expression flickered between her eyes.
"The Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion Guo wants to ask to see you."
At the moment of silence, a voice came from outside the hall at no time, which made everyone's faces pause.
"Oh, why did you want to let this kid come at this time?" The Queen Mother had doubts on her face, and then raised her hand and raised it outside: "Xuan!" ”
Mu Xiyue stood aside and watched the changes in the faces of the two, her face was calm and there was no panic in the slightest.
Guo Xiangrong came in to salute, and when he saw Mu Xiyue also there, his face was a little more surprised.
"Pity, pity, pity, lord of Yue!"
Guo Xiangrong's face was a little more flustered, and the moment he spoke, his eyes flickered, as if he wanted to talk to Mu Xiyue, but he was a little nervous and flustered, and for a while, he didn't know how to speak.
Seeing Guo Xiangrong, Mu Xiyue seemed to be able to think of the words of the Queen Mother and the Concubine later, suppressed the complexity in her heart, and her face was still calm.
"I didn't expect to meet Miss Guo here in the Queen Mother, it's good to see you fine!"
Mu Xiyue's voice was calm, and she looked at Guo Xiangrong as she spoke, and a smile curled up at the corner of her lips.
It's just that, compared to Mu Xiyue's calmness, Guo Xiangrong has no way to maintain normalcy on his face.
On that day, he held a dagger around his neck in Pingyang Palace, with an awe-inspiring and firm face, and now he appeared in front of her intact, thinking about himself like a joke.
"Or you young people have something to say!" The Queen Mother saw that Guo Xiangrong's face was a little stiff, and hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, I want to let this child be an upright person, but I can talk to Xiyueneng about it!"
As she spoke, the concubine turned her face to look at the Queen Mother, and the expression in her eyes flashed, but she was still seen by Mu Xiyue.
"It's also a coincidence that you two came, some coconut milk juice has just been offered in southern Xinjiang, it is very sweet and refreshing, take advantage of today's happiness, let's try it together!"
The Queen Mother said, stretched out her hand and waved her hand at the palace maid next to her, and the palace maid understood, turned around and prepared.
Sitting on the side with a smiling expression, Mu Xiyue's heart became more and more gloomy, no wonder the father-in-law wanted to pay attention to the things at the entrance, now it seems that the Queen Mother has already been prepared!
Before everyone could say a few words, the palace maid brought up the coconut milk juice that had been opened, and the sweet fragrance of coconut milk wafted throughout the hall, so that people couldn't help but want to reach out and take a taste of the fragrance.
"Come on, come on, taste them all!"
The Queen Mother took a shallow sip of the spoon handed over by the palace maid, and at the same time Mu Xiyue looked at Mu Xiyue opposite, seeing that she still didn't move, the smile on her face sank.
"Don't you like to drink? Or do you think that the things here in the mourning family can't get into your mouth? ”
The Queen Mother's voice was a little powerful, and as she spoke, she reached out and put the coconut milk juice next to her, and the bottom of the bowl hit the edge of the table with a crisp sound, which made people's hearts tremble.
"Don't dare!" Mu Xiyue hurriedly put the coconut milk juice in her hand on the table and knelt in front of the Queen Mother.
"You still don't dare? gave you food, you said you couldn't eat it, and you looked the same as you gave you to drink, why, can the mourning family still poison you here? ”
The Queen Mother's face was ugly, and after she finished speaking, she snorted coldly, turned around and stopped looking at her.
"The Queen Mother is angry!"
The concubine hurriedly came up to the round, and while speaking, she stretched out her hand and pulled Mu Xiyue, glanced at her, and then turned around and smiled on her face: "Xiyue, this child was attracted by this fresh juice for a while, and forgot to taste it, don't be angry." ”。
Listening to the concubine's words, Mu Xiyue raised her head and looked at the concubine, and her heart couldn't help but sink: "Back to the queen mother, Xiyue is just ......"
Mu Xiyue originally wanted to explain, but before the words came out, she saw the Queen Mother's staring eyes looking at her, sighed leisurely, picked up the coconut milk in front of her, and took a big sip.
"Thank you for the reward of the Empress Dowager!"
Mu Xiyue's voice was still as usual, and while speaking, she kowtowed to the Queen Mother.
Seeing that Mu Xiyue had drunk, the Queen Mother's face improved, and she reached out and helped her up from the ground.
Where did Mu Xiyue dare to really let the Queen Mother help, her hand had not yet touched, and she hurriedly got up by herself, but she didn't want to, she hadn't gotten up yet, and suddenly her body shook and she fell to the ground uncontrollably!
