Chapter 4: What the Heart Thinks (7)
"Gege, Gege quickly pack up and go to Niangniang, Niangniang will let you go now?" Er Lan hurriedly woke up Mu Qing, who was still asleep on the three poles of the sun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What time is it?" Mu Qing rubbed her sleepy eyes, and asked Er Lan a little murmuringly.
"It's noon, Gege has a scab on his arm, so be careful, don't let the wound crack open again." Er Lan's master, Gege, who can't be idle as soon as he wakes up, is really worrying.
"Don't worry, you are as strong as an ox, and such a small injury will be healed sooner. It's you, if you worry about it like this, you're going to get old. I'll wipe my face, change my clothes, and go to say hello to Concubine De, you go out and do your job. Mu Qing rolled on the bed like a scoundrel.
Er Lan looked at the "spontaneous" Gege and smiled helplessly: "Gege, if you roll like this again, you really have to press your hands, or the slave maid will give you some makeup, don't delay going to see Niangniang." ”
Mu Qing had to get up now, thinking that Concubine De specially called herself over today, could it be that the emperor rewarded something delicious or something good? If it is said that in the eyes of outsiders, Concubine De is really spoiled by Mu Qing, and when she serves Concubine De on weekdays, she never restricts Mu Qing's words and deeds, and from time to time she sits at a table with Concubine De and talks about it, she was injured a few days ago, and it is reasonable not to serve by Concubine De's side, this recuperation for a while, the wounds are scabbed, or she is not "on duty" in bed every day, Concubine De doesn't care, she still eats, drinks and has fun every day, and she nourishes qi, nourishes blood and removes scars to send it every day.
"What good things did you get today?" Mu Qing rinsed her mouth, wiped her face with the help of Er Lan, and put on a flag costume.
Er Lan smiled: "Niangniang is so spoiled that Gege is boundless, as long as Gege is passed by Niangniang, she only thinks about the good things that Niangniang has." ”
"Really, no?" Mu Qing buttoned the flag and put on the last button, and continued: "Er Lan, you usually play around by yourself when you are in a hurry, you don't have to bother to iron your clothes with a copper iron every day, and you also smoked incense for me today, this incense took a lot of time." ”
"Gege, this is what Niangniang specially ordered, Gege is wearing today's Yunjin that Niangniang asked her to make before. I heard that it was Concubine Liang who wanted to see you, so Gege had better dress up. Looking at Er Lan's serious appearance,
"Concubine Liangniang...... Why did Concubine Liang see me? Mu Qing was a little stunned for a while, this is to see her future mother-in-law? Bah, it's just a boyfriend, who said that you were going to marry Yinxi? Although it is not that I have never seen Concubine Liang before, but now it is different after all......
Er Lan laughed out loud: "It's not because of the relationship between Gege and the Eighth Master, so Gege can't pinch it so much." ”
"Seeing my parents, I'm always a little uneasy...... Mu Qing sighed, after all, he hadn't met since Yinxi came to see him last time, and Mu Qing had a dark suspicion in her heart before...... This boyfriend, hey...... He can see him when he wants to see him, and he doesn't know where he is when he wants to see him.
"Huh? Gege, what do you say? Er Lan didn't understand the word "modern" that Mu Qing came out of just now.
"It's okay, it's okay, just don't wear so much on your head, I've seen a good concubine before, it's simple and tight, I decorate it too much, but it looks frivolous. Let's go, let's go to my mother's place to say goodbye first. Mu Qing stopped the hairpin that Er Lan had put on her head and walked out the door.
"Gege, why don't you eat something to cushion?" Er Lan hurriedly put down the hairpin in his hand and followed Mu Qing.
"Don't get in the way, Niangniang must be ready to eat, go to Niangniang's place to eat." Er Lan sighed, and reluctantly followed his own Gege, is this not worry-free Gege, this is "kicking the nose in the face"?
Mu Qing walked towards Concubine De, not wanting Yinzhen to be there, so she had to ask for peace in a proper manner: "The slave maid asks for Concubine De, and the fourteenth master asks for peace." ”
Before Concubine De could speak, Yinzhen spoke first: "Get up, come and sit." Yinzhen smiled jokingly: "In the future, it will be my little sister-in-law, how dare I let my sister-in-law ask for peace." Then he got up again, like a small servant on weekdays, Mu Qing helped him to his seat.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about! I...... I...... Empress! Look at the Fourteenth Master! Mu Qing's face was a little red, and she stammered and couldn't speak, just like Concubine De asking for help.
Concubine De smiled, pretending to be a positive color and said to Yinzhen: "Zhen'er, how did your imperial father teach you in the past?" It's the same as the hairy boy. ”
"Okay, well, E-niang is so eccentric to Qing'er, her son no longer tells the 'truth'. However, why does Sister Muqing, who has always been spicy, look like her tongue has been taken away by a cat? Yinzhen took a sip of tea and said leisurely. The parrot on the side "auspicious" also agreed: "The tongue was taken away by the cat!" Took it away! “
Mu Qing slapped the table, although the injury on his hand was scabbed, but in view of the strength of his slap on the table, the injury on his arm was a little painful, Mu Qing rubbed his hands slightly, and did not forget to yell at "auspicious": "You forgot who fed you on weekdays?" Hum! I'll find a cat to take you away tomorrow! “
"Jixiang" flapped his wings and shouted: "Spicy goods! Spicy goods! “
"You ......" Mu Qing got up and was about to clean up "auspicious", but was stopped by Concubine De. Concubine De smiled and sighed: "You, you, what are you angry with a parrot, it's really childish, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Eat some hibiscus cake mats, it's time to go to Concubine Liang's. “
"Huh? Oh...... "Mu Qing is just waking up from a dream and going to see the future "mother-in-law", well, although it is not necessarily, but let's call it "mother-in-law", the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law since ancient times is really worrying......
Mu Qing took a piece of cake and ate it bite by bite, so embarrassed, Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Mu Qing's appearance and said: "This will change from a tigress to a little white rabbit, eh, but don't worry, the good concubine is gentle and kind, and she won't blame her subordinates, so how can she embarrass you?" ”
Mu Qing smiled at Yinzhen and thanked her, although Yinzhen is a kid who always raises the bar with Mu Qing on weekdays, he still cares about Mu Qing.
Concubine De took Yinzhen's words and said: "That's the case, you still have to be cautious in front of Concubine Liang," Concubine De said this and looked at Mu Qing very seriously, Mu Qing looked at Concubine De's serious expression, and knew that there must be layers of reasons, but Yinzhen was still here, Concubine De didn't say much, before Yinzhen saw the clues, Concubine De changed her tone and teased: "It's not pleasing to my mother-in-law to pinch it so much." ”
Yinzhen laughed out loud, and the water he drank almost squirted out.
Mu Qing looked at the mother and son with some "resentment", Concubine De shook her head with a smile, and wiped the pastry crumbs off Mu Qing's mouth with the handkerchief in her hand.
Yongshou Palace
The maid in Concubine Liang's palace brought Mu Qing into the house after informing Concubine Liang, and Concubine Liang chatted with a woman dressed in a red flag costume with peonies outlined on the edge of the golden ditch, no need to guess, it must be the Eight Blessings! "Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom." It is no exaggeration to describe this Lucky Fortune, who can afford the flag dress of peony patterns, and does not feel tacky at all, confident but not conceited in speech and demeanor, generous but dignified and polite, this is a model of everyone's ladies...... Mu Qing mourned in her heart, how could Yinxi fall in love with such a woman who captivated the city and the country? How can you fall in love? Question or rhetorical question? Is it doubtful to fall in love or suspicious to use?
Mu Qing replied to her ethereal thoughts, and blessed her body to ask the two "masters" for peace: "The slave maid asks for peace for the good concubine Niangniang, and for the eight blessings." ”
Concubine Liang didn't seem to hear it, so she patted Bafujin's hand gently and said, "Xinyuan, you were unwell a few days ago, but you're better." ”
Xin Yuan? It turned out that the woman's name was Xin Yuan, Guo Luo Luo Xin Yuan...... Mu Qing listened silently, but her posture still maintained the posture of blessing, it was really difficult, Concubine Liang was afraid that she was here to give herself a dismount for her noble daughter-in-law.
"I'm tired of worrying about my mother, Xinyuan is just a little sick, and I'm already fine." Xin Yuan replied with a smile, and said: "E-niang always spoils her daughter-in-law, look, I forget this Muqing girl when I think about my daughter-in-law's body." ”
Concubine Liang smiled, then turned her head to Mu Qing and said, "Get up." ”
"Xie Niangniang." Mu Qing got up, her hands and waist were a little sore, she wanted to break and loosen her shins, isn't this a trick? I don't know if this good concubine wants to "punish small punishments and big commandments" or "enlarge moves" today.
"Well, you are the girl chosen by Concubine De's sister when the palace was selected? It looks familiar. Concubine Liang said unhurriedly.
"If you go back to your mother, it's a slave." Mu Qing replied respectfully.
Concubine Liang walked towards Mu Qing: "How can Sister Defei's favorite girl be neglected?" Come on, come on, come and sit. "Concubine Liang's strength in holding Mu Qing's left hand is really suspicious, no, confirm that she did it on purpose, Mu Qing's injury is a secret in the palace, in addition to the emperor, Concubine De's henchmen in the palace and the parties involved, only Yinxi knows. If it weren't for Yinxi's inform, then only Concubine Liang would have had a "heart, ear, and divine will" from Concubine De. If Yinxi really told Concubine Liang about his relationship with himself and all kinds of happenings, even if Yinxi was taking advantage of it, Concubine Liang would not startle the snake, then it would only be a possibility of the harem Infernal Affairs, and Concubine Liang, like Yinxi, felt that it was not as indifferent as it appeared on the surface. Mu Qing endured the pain and couldn't make a sound.
"E-niang, the daughter-in-law has bothered you all morning, and you are also tired, why don't you go and rest first, the daughter-in-law and Miss Muqing look quite eye-catching, it is better to let the daughter-in-law and Miss Muqing talk together." Xin Yuan quietly stroked Concubine Liang and held Mu Qing's hand.
Concubine Liang thought for a moment and let go of the hand that was holding Mu Qing: "It's okay for you young people to talk together, but it's ......" Concubine Liang changed her words: "Xin Yuan, E-Niang has always looked at you more and more like you over the years, unlike those who are not in the old eight mansions, E-Niang just looks at you like this, and she has not been able to enter the woman in E-Niang's eyes anymore." E-Niang has to remind you that you always follow the eighth child, and everything is considered for the eighth child, but well, men, it is always easy to be confused by some foxes, you have to be optimistic about the eighth child. ”
"Thank you for reminding me, my daughter-in-law will remember it. However, the daughter-in-law also believes that Yinxi is deaf and clear-sighted, and can distinguish right from wrong. Concubine Liang nodded, and called the palace maid next to her back to the bedroom. Concubine Liang made it clear that Mu Qing was a "fox girl" and didn't like Mu Qing, no matter what, Mu Qing never thought that she would like Concubine Liang, but she didn't like it to this extent, which was not what Mu Qing expected. It's just that this Xin Yuan can call Yinxi Concubine in front of her mother-in-law and she is not angry, Xinyuan really likes her mother-in-law, and she likes Yinyu very much, right?
"Miss Muqing, come with me for a walk outside." Xin Yuan smiled at Mu Qing.
"Yes." Concubine Liang, this can be regarded as handing over Mu Qing to Xinyuan for "processing"? When the rivals in love see each other, they are very red-eyed! Mu Qing looked up to the sky in her heart and roared.
Xin Yuan retreated from the palace maid beside her and said, "Don't be nervous, I won't trouble the girl." Xin Yuan's straightforwardness caused Mu Qing to feel that Xin Yuan's clever smile was very delicate, but it also made Mu Qing stunned.
"Outside it is said that Bafujin is a jealous woman, and she can't tolerate the gentlemen in the family to have a second room, is the girl afraid?" Xin Yuan said with a smile.
Mu Qing nodded sneeringly, and hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand: "No, no, Fujin is virtuous and dignified." ”
Xin Yuan smiled, there were crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, it was a sincere smile, this is the basic knowledge of Xiao Xun's micro-expression for Mu Qing's tutoring: "Don't be nervous, I'm not the kind of jealous woman I say outside, since you were chosen by Yinxi, I won't embarrass you."
Mu Qing was completely stunned, does this Fujin love Yinxi or does he love Yinxi so much that he loves what he loves? I couldn't help but say, "Fujin, can the slave ask you a question." ”
Xin Yuan nodded, and Mu Qing blurted out again without thinking, "There is another person in Fujin's heart?" "People who like to be emotional are reckless, Mu Qing is such a person, and I don't know that such words are taboo in the palace and even in the entire Qing Dynasty, and the wife is not loyal to her husband and loves others? If Xin Yuan is a person with a heart, Mu Qing is a fish and meat.
"The girl is worthy of being the person chosen by Yinxi, and she has the courage to speak, how can I not love a man like Yinxi?" Xin Yuan said her love without shyness, she really deserved to be the daughter of the Manchurian Guo Luoluo family, Mu Qing, as a "modern person", seemed to be unable to let go in ancient times.
"Then why is Fu Jin still in front of Concubine Liang to relieve the siege for the slave maid?" Mu Qing originally thought that this was not a "good stubble", and the Lucky Jin Xinyuan wanted Concubine Liang to hand herself over to her to deal with her anger, but now that the two of them have spoken, it is Mu Qing who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Xin Yuan's smile was even stronger, with a confidence and brightness that women in the Forbidden City did not have: "This is my tacit understanding with Yinxi, Yinxi is not an amorous person, he mistook someone's erroneous person, why should I take this notoriety for him?" E-Niang is afraid that it is taboo for my Guo Luoluo family. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Xin Yuan said this sincerely, but Mu Qing couldn't help but think that it was a demonstration, and Xin Yuan didn't take such a corner of herself in his eyes at all...... I heard Xin Yuan Zhengse say, "Miss Muqing, I don't shy away from you, Yinxi is like a spring, like a spring water is warm, but it is not easy for cherished people to touch it like a spring, it is difficult to get close to this spring, but I have a hunch that the person who can walk into the source of Yinxi's spring is between you and me." ”
Only then did Mu Qing understand where to demonstrate? This is an invisible peace battle between her and Xin Yuan, and today is the first game, and she has already lost the first game. Xin Yuan's bearing, temperament, cultivation, connotation and appearance, how can one of them lose to Mu Qing? Mu Qing had to secretly rejoice, judging from Xin Yuan's words, Yin Xi did not fall in love with this almost perfect woman, and Yin Xi was so different from herself after all, but why did Yin Xi fall in love with this woman who was not as good as Xin Yuan? Mu Qing probably understood for the first time what inferiority complex was.
Mu Qing thanked Fu Jin, with all due respect to Mu Qing's bluntness, when Mu Qing saw the eighth master for the first time, the eighth master left a wave mark in Mu Qing's heart, Fu Jin is the woman next to the master now, but Mu Qing ...... I also want to walk into the spring of the eighth master and be the only one. Mu Qing is not greedy for vanity, but there are some feelings that cannot be suppressed as soon as they germinate. Even if ......" even if Mu Qing knew the future outcome of Yinxi, "even if Mu Qing had no way to become that person, Mu Qing was willing to give it a try with the world's greatness." Although Mu Qing is not able to do anything, she also wants to compete with Fujin. ”
Xin Yuan got straight to the point, and Mu Qing was also blunt. Xin Yuan was not angry, but quite appreciative of this opponent: "Mu Qing, I Xin Yuan made you a friend, if I win you, I will probably be the only time in my life that I am secretly happy, if I lose to you, I am also willing to lose." How about we give three high-fives? ”
"Pap", "Pap", "Pap", Mu Qingxinyuan looked at each other and smiled. Rival in love with the alliance of the battle. Mu Qing admired Xin Yao.
For the extraordinary love of this extraordinary dynasty, compromise your heart to chase a man who may only be used in your heart for the time being, so that he can really fall in love with a perfect self who has nothing but another woman, Mu Qing believes that it is worth it, and she is willing to pay and wait!
