Chapter 41: Trying to Catch the Dead
At dinner time, the queen and the three concubines came to Cining Palace, the emperor just returned to the palace, and naturally the dinner will come to the queen mother. Each of them looks like they have been carefully dressed: Mu Xianning is rich, Hera is charming, Shen Xiaoxian is dignified, and Suo Ya is lively, and everyone's clothes highlight their own personalities, but
"Why hasn't the emperor come over today? Go, go to the Royal Dragon Palace and ask the emperor to come up. ”
Seeing that the emperor was not seen when it was almost time, the Queen Mother was really anxious.
The people who went to invite the emperor trotted all the way to the Royal Dragon Palace, but saw Gonggong Ji standing at the gate, and the palace gate was even tighter.
"Father-in-law Ji, the Queen Mother sent me here to invite the emperor to dinner."
"Got it, the emperor will be here in a while, you can go back first."
"Father-in-law Ji, I don't know what the emperor is doing?"
The queen mother sent by her father-in-law is naturally beside her, compared with father-in-law Ji, although the status is lower, but after all, it is the person next to the queen mother, and father-in-law Ji does not dare to underestimate it.
"The emperor is talking to Mu Zhaoyi inside."
The father-in-law got the reply and hurriedly went back to his life. And Gonggong Ji hesitated again and again outside the outer palace: After this lunch, Mu Zhaoyi went in, and he didn't come out for several hours, if the two of them were focused on studying things, wouldn't he disturb the emperor's Yaxing by interrupting rashly? However, the Queen Mother over there was urging again.
Finally, Gonggong Ji still did this unwelcome job with a hard head, and shouted at the door with his throat pulled:
"Your Majesty."
In the hall, Mu Yuxi was sitting next to the dragon chair and arguing with the emperor about the theory of governing the country, Quan Jingmo became more and more interested in chatting, although Mu Yuxi said a lot of it was unrealistic, but he had to admit that Mu Zhaoyi brought him a new kind of thinking, and there was a feeling that listening to the words of the emperor was better than reading ten years of books.
"What's the matter?"
He raised his head in displeasure and asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, you should go to the Queen Mother's dinner tonight, the Queen and the three ladies are waiting."
"What time is it?"
"It's time."
Quan Jingmo didn't know that time passed so quickly. Mu Yuxi heard that he was going to accompany his old lady and Yingying Yanyan for dinner, so he hurriedly stood up:
"Your Majesty, since you are going to the Queen Mother for dinner, the concubine will retire first."
Ignoring the unhappiness in his heart, Mu Yuxi got up and knelt down.
"Come with me."
Quan Jingmo's words were very natural, as if they should have been.
"Concubines are not qualified."
With a faint opening, Mu Yuxi didn't care, and the alienated eyes made Quan Jingmo feel bored for a while: she still couldn't think of herself like she had just entered the palace. I thought that a few days after leaving the palace, Mu Yuxi, who used to speak upside down and four ghosts, came back, but I never thought that everything would change back when I returned to the palace.
"Are you angry with me?"
"The concubine doesn't dare."
Mu Yuxi half-knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
"Don't you hate kneeling? In the future, you don't have to kneel in front of me at every turn. ”
He still remembered that she used to proudly hold the "easy to kneel" she made in front of him and talk about how bad the custom of "kneeling" was, but now, she is so regular.
"Congratulations to the emperor."
Quan Jingmo got up to leave, but Mu Yuxi spoke again. is like a docile little tiger on the surface, but in fact he is clever and unforgiving.
"Go with me to the Queen Mother, this is the holy decree."
Quan Jingmo went to change his clothes with a dark face, Mu Yuxi waited for him to leave before he stood up, the meekness on his face just now was fleeting, but it was replaced by a smug look: If you want to capture the past, it is not only the people of the Quan Dynasty who will, she Mu Yuxi will also.
She never admits that she is a good girl who does not hold grudges. The big smart eyes turned, thinking about how to make good use of this "lateness", she was happy to see those women jealous, as for the consequences of this, Mu Yuxi thought: She has enough enemies, and the people who hate her also hate them, and they don't care about one or two more things.
When Quan Jingmo came out, it was rare for Mu Yuxi not to put on a cold beauty.
"Your Majesty, after lunch today, the concubines of the Imperial Dragon Palace saw Mu Furong in the Imperial Garden. In this late summer and early autumn, in addition to the moon season, it is rare to have such beautiful flowers, I don't know if the emperor has time to accompany his concubines to take a look. ”
Wood hibiscus: three drunk hibiscus, color hibiscus. It blooms in the morning and is white in color, bright red at noon. Quan Jingmo didn't know that she actually liked Mu Hibiscus.
That's right, her original temperament is very lively, and she likes to be flamboyant, just
"The Queen Mother is still waiting to go, and Mu Furong is not looking good at this hour, I'll see it tomorrow."
"Okay, if you want to come, the emperor doesn't like flowers, so let's go and see it by myself after lunch tomorrow."
Mu Yuxi spoke with obvious disappointment in her voice, her head was also lowered, and she looked depressed, but this was all an appearance, in her heart, she was now excited: Look at what you do, see if you go with me!
Sure enough, the trick of wanting to capture the past worked again on Quan Jingmo:
"That's it, it's still early, I'll go around with you."
In the end, Quan Jingmo compromised, he walked quickly in front of him in a little hurry, and Mu Yuxi smiled happily behind him: If you are late for a while, you should have a good show.
Mu Yuxi, who only cared about the women fighting each other at dinner, didn't realize how precious Quan Jingmo's compromise with her was, the king, the time has always been very regular, and besides, he went to eat with the queen mother.
Entering the Imperial Garden, Mu Yuxi happily looked east and west in the garden with the setting sun, enjoying the beautiful scenery under the sunset: how many people chase the buds in the morning every day, how many people love the bouquets moistened by the sun, but how many people pay attention to the reluctance of the flowers when the sun sets?
"Your Majesty, look! This wood hibiscus, half open and half falling, wants to welcome and be ashamed, how beautiful! ”
Quan Jingmo stood aside, looking at the shadow under the sunset, a few days ago in Wutong County, he had also seen such a lively her, too, under the shroud of nature. The words that Quan Jingyan said to herself at that time echoed in her ears: she longs for freedom.
He's afraid he won't be able to keep her.
Realizing what he thought, Quan Jingmo himself was shocked, did he want to keep her? Aside from the help she can bring to him in politics, he also wants her to live by his side?
"Your Majesty?"
Mu Yuxi tentatively shook his hand in front of his eyes, Quan Jingmo came back to his senses, his eyes were facing each other, his heart was full of eyes, at this moment, it was her.
"Let's go."
Quan Jingmo's heart was beating a little faster, he turned around quickly, and his messy steps betrayed his flustered heart at the moment.
Mu Yuxi looked at him from a distance, with a hint of greed in his eyes, and when his eyes met just now, his deep eyes still attracted her attention like Quan Jingmo in modern times. In my heart, I was obviously proud, and I was proud that I had successfully spent time, but my brows were furrowed tightly, as if I had unspeakable entanglement and annoyance.
Only on the brow, but on the heart.
