Chapter 60, Guardian
Baoru, a third-class maid in Qingwangfu, took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, and stuffed a towel for Mu Chenxue, leading Mu Chenxue to leave the table. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two of them went out together and went to the lake.
"Miss Makugo, there is no one in the open space here, and this is where the words are!" Baoru took the morning snow to an open place by the lake, looked around to make sure that there was no one, and then stopped talking.
"Fanghua, you go over there and keep guard, if someone comes, remind me loudly!" Waiting for Fanghua to leave, Mu Chenxue looked at Baoru, "Who are you?" He casually unfolded the towel and pointed to the word "wind" on it. If what she expected was right, this person must have something to do with Big Brother Feng.
"Miss Huimu, the slave Baoru was originally the daughter of the shopkeeper of the pawnshop in the four seas, and a few days ago she was ordered by her master to sneak into the palace on an errand. Miss Maku, but there are instructions, although she said to the slave, the slave will definitely protect you! ”
Mu Chenxue was a little blindsided now, "Who is this big brother Feng, who can actually insert his eyeliner in the palace in a few days, and still let this person follow him?" "It's inevitable that I will think too much.
"Baoru, what else does your master have to explain?" Although Mu Chenxue had doubts in her heart, this was not the time to investigate.
"Miss Huimu, the master has nothing to explain, only let the slave and maid tell you, everything is at ease, everything has a master!"
Mu Chenxue's heart was hot when she heard this, but she immediately calmed down, and literally speaking, Brother Feng also participated in this lotus banquet. He wasn't chased and killed, how could he walk outside in broad daylight, what was there to be in between. I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't figure it out. sighed and turned to Baoru, "Thank you for your master, I have always been used to forbearance, and now that you have reminded me, there will be nothing wrong with me!" ”
The two of them whispered by the lake, and in the light rain pavilion opposite, the county prince Nangong Xun was already greeting guests, and the second young master Nangong Shumo was also rarely attending.
"Second brother, I look good today, but the banquet has not yet started, if you feel tired, it is better to go back and rest first, and I will send someone to call you when the banquet is open!" Nangong Xun only cares about his younger brother's body, and he doesn't care if he is rude in front of others.
"I have taken a new medicine in the past few days, and my body is much weaker and lighter, and Brother Lao is worried, anyway, I am not good at walking, and I am just sitting here drinking tea, but I am not tired! Brother, just go and greet the guests! Look at this hour, Taifu and a few other adults should be almost there! Nangong Xun looked at his younger brother's face, and then told Feng Wu or two words, and then turned to leave.
"Master, look at the lake, Baoru's girl should have identified herself to Miss Mu!" Feng Wuyi pointed to the opposite side of the lake, and from the light rain pavilion, you could just see the two of them.
"Well, my move is too dangerous, I'm afraid it will arouse Miss Maku's suspicion!" Nangong Shumo originally wanted to give Baoru directly to Mu Chenxue. can Mu Chenxue's status in the shogunate, and where can he raise two maids by his side, so he had to arrange people into the palace. Fortunately, Princess Qing was in the palace because of the lotus banquet, so it did not arouse anyone's suspicion in the palace.
"The master is also a last resort, even if Miss Curtain guesses something, she won't blame the master!" Although Feng Wu's words failed to relieve Nangong Shumo, at least he was no longer worried. Looking at the small figure in the distance, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
Nangong Xun was busy entertaining guests and didn't notice the difference in his younger brother, but Liuyun was already suspicious of the second young master, although he followed closely by the county prince, his eyes would look at Nangong Shumo from time to time. I didn't expect the second young master, who had always been unsmiling, to have a smile on his face. His eyes couldn't help but look towards the other side of the lake, but unfortunately he only saw two backs that were gradually moving away.
Returning to Tinglan Xuan's curtain morning snow again, because of the promise of Brother Feng and Baoru's protection, the apprehension in his heart disappeared, and he was much more relaxed than when he first entered the palace.
"Fifth sister, don't worry, my mother didn't notice that you left the table suddenly!" The third sister's words are obviously flattering,
Mu Chenxue smiled, "Thank you to the third sister, it's the fifth sister who has not been careful for many times, and when she first entered the palace, she was nervous, and she didn't even have a stomach!" Seeing that the third sister and that sister were chatting happily, I don't know which lady in the house it is? ”
"The sisters are the young ladies of the Zhengqipin Gong Cao Shen Military and Hu Cao Shen Military Family!" Mu Lanting introduced these people, and her head involuntarily raised a point. Mu Lian is from the sixth grade, one level higher than the father of these people, so he is also a little harder to speak as a concubine.
"Looking at the age of the sisters and the third sister are of the same age, I think you must have a lot of topics. The fifth sister is young, just drink tea and eat snacks, so she won't bother the third sister! Without waiting for Mu Lanting to say anything, Mu Chenxue had already turned her face to the side.
"Humph!" This sister treats people coldly at home, and it's still the same when she goes out. Well, she didn't want her sister to marry these people anyway. This feeling of being sought after, she still wants to be exclusive for a long time. Several young ladies who participated in the military also saw that the relationship between the sisters of the shogunate was not good. In fact, it is the same in every family, the relationship between the sisters is naturally close, and the sisters have to compete for favor with each other, but it is just a matter of face.
After sitting for a while, I saw that Princess Qing was late, "It's rude to let the ladies wait for a long time!" Obviously, a polite word, a few ladies who came early hurriedly got up and left the table, and followed Ying He, "Princess Qing is busy, and I just arrived!" "Yes! The concubine is thinking about the snacks of the palace, and she came a little early, so the princess doesn't want to laugh at the concubine's greed! ”
"Look at what Mrs. Tian said, although Lord Tian has always been diligent and thrifty, it is not so much that Mrs. Tian is not allowed to eat even a piece of dim sum!"
"Let the princess and the ladies laugh, how can the cook in my house be compared with the palace, the concubine body heard that the kitchen lady of the palace was originally the imperial chef in the palace, specializing in making snacks for the emperor, where can you eat casually if you don't go back to Beijing and enter the palace! Today, we're following the princess! ”
"Mrs. Tian has a sharp mouth, not to mention asking for two pieces of dim sum from me, even if she begged the cook, I'm afraid it's not surprising!" Princess Qing's joke caused a room of children to laugh more than once.
Several ladies chatted and laughed around the princess, and Mu Chenxue noticed that the eldest lady Cheng didn't even have a chance to interject, and she didn't have a deep friendship with these people on weekdays. As soon as Princess Qing sat down, she heard someone outside report that Taifu and Master Sima had arrived. Princess Qing was busy ordering the two first-class maids around her to go out to pick up the two ladies and young ladies to enter.
At this moment, Mu Chenxue deeply realized the importance of power and the importance of identity. She was just thinking about doing business and making money to live her life, but now it seems that she has no power, even if she makes money, she is afraid that she will not be able to keep it. But she is a woman, how can she be powerful, does she really have to be attached to a man? This is inconsistent with her outlook on life and values. She didn't want to see a man's face to live.
Baoru noticed that since Princess Daqing entered the table, Miss Mu was not as comfortable as before. The master asked her to protect Miss Maku, but she didn't like it. After all, she wanted to serve her master and son like her father. But now that she saw Miss Muwu, she felt that this person was different from other young ladies. There is a recklessness and calmness in his bones, which not only does not match his age, but even has a little resemblance to the master's momentum.
