Xue Zhiyuan looked at the girl beside him for a moment, and he turned his face silently.

Another large flower rose in the air, and the light scattered all around, and soon disappeared.

Mu Yan watched those brilliant and dazzling things continue to soar upwards and disappear rapidly, and finally, his heart was a little stunned, and his bright eyes slowly dimmed.

A splendid fireworks soon ended, and many lotus lanterns were prepared on the edge of the lotus pond, and the ladies and ladies of each family went to put lotus lanterns to make wishes.

Xue Huashang took Mu Yan to the pond to put a lotus lantern, Mu Yan put one with her own hands, she had no other wishes, she just hoped that this life and this life could be spent smoothly, and she would not be tortured like in her previous life......

At three o'clock, the birthday banquet ended, Xue Guifei returned to the palace, and the guests dispersed and returned home.

Xue Huashang pulled Mu Yan and didn't let her go back, she went to find Mrs. Mu in person, and said to Mrs. Mu, "Old lady, I want to keep Mu Yan to play with me for one more day, I want her to rest in the Hou Mansion tonight, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to let her stay?" ”

Mrs. Mu didn't expect that the relationship between Xue Huashang and Mu Yan would be so good, so she happily agreed, "It's convenient, but I'm afraid that Yan'er doesn't understand the rules, but it will cause trouble for the eldest lady." ”

Mu Yan didn't want to stay.

But listening to the old lady's words, she knew that she was definitely going to stay.

She had no choice but to whisper in the old lady's ear, "Unfortunately, I happened to come to Kwai Shui last night, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to live in the Hou Mansion." ”

If you are in your own room, you can sleep as much as you want at night, even if Kwai Shui soils your pants and mattress, it doesn't matter, but if you live in the Hou Mansion, it will be inconvenient to sleep at night.

The old lady also felt that it was inappropriate when she heard it, and immediately said, "Yan'er is indeed a little inconvenient, please forgive Miss Xue." ”

Xue Huashang immediately shrank her eyebrows, took Mu Yan's hand and asked her, "Why are you inconvenient?" ”

Mu Yan showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, so he had to say euphemistically, "My body is not very convenient, so I am not suitable for living in other people's homes......"

When Xue Huashang heard this, she immediately guessed that Mu Yan was coming to Kwai Shui, she immediately smiled and whispered, "It's okay, I have a small mat sewn by my grandmother there, and I'll give you one, and you can spread it under you when you sleep at night." ”

Mu Yan was very embarrassed.

Xue Huashang made a decision for her with a smile, "...... Don't hesitate, it's decided, Shangyun'er will also stay tonight, the three of us are just talking, and I'll let the kitchen make wine-stuffed balls to eat tomorrow morning. ”

Xue Huashang said that she didn't mind, what else could Mrs. Mu say.

Mrs. Mu smiled and said to Mu Yan, "Since the eldest lady wants you to stay so much, then you can stay for a night, and I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow." ”

"Don't bother, I'll send a car to see her off then." Xue Huashang smiled at the old lady.

Mrs. Mu heard that Xue Huashang had arranged everything, and she had nothing to say, she only told Mu Yan, "The rules must not be lost......

Mu Yan could only nod yes.

That night, Mu Yan stayed in Xue's Mansion.

Xue Huashang specially asked someone to clean up a wing room in Qiuxiang Courtyard for Mu Yan to live in, and that wing room happened to be next to the Lin family's courtyard......

Mu Yan felt that Xue Huashang seemed to be narrowing the distance between her and the Lin family intentionally or unintentionally, and she didn't know if she was too careful, or if it was really so......

Only pay attention to it secretly.

Lin Yun was very happy when she heard that Mu Yan had also stayed, and she and Xue Huashang chatted in Mu Yan's room until late that night, and the three of them dispersed.

At that time, Lin Shi, who had just finished his work, was sitting in the room with Zhao and talking about himself.

Lin Shi quietly talked about Xue Guifei at the banquet asking her to marry Xue Huashang to Yanhou, Zhao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and whispered, "Yanhou is old enough to be Huashang's father, besides, I heard your brother say that Yanhou's character is not very good, especially ......."

Zhao wanted to speak and stopped.

Lin knew it.

She has also heard some rumors about bad words, and there are rumors that there are two or three little girls who died in Yan Hou's hands, all of whom were killed by him on the bed, and it feels infiltrating just thinking about it.

Although this kind of rumor is just a rumor and is not enough to be believed, why did the rumor originate? There must be some wind and waves for such words to come out.

"I know......" Lin frowned and sighed, "You also know that now the court only respects the eldest prince born to Empress Su and the fourth prince born to our Xue Guifei, Yan Hou has always been very supportive of the four princes, and his original wife has been dead for several years, and the middle feed in the house has been unpresiding, so the concubine proposed to marry Hua Sheng to consolidate Yan Hou's support for the four princes, but ...... After all, it will ruin a child's future, I can't bear it! ”

Zhao also sighed, "Speaking of which, Xue Guifei still loves Huashang very much on weekdays, but I didn't expect that in the face of interests, she would push Huashang out so quickly......"

"yes!" Lin's voice was faint, "I have been in the Xue family for so many years, and my biggest feeling is that as long as it is beneficial to the Xue family, Hou Ye and Xue Guifei will do it." What's more, Hua Sheng is a girl, and she is going to marry someone in the future, if it is valuable to marry, Hou Ye will definitely agree. ”

"Hey...... Pity the flowers. Zhao sighed lowly.

Lin said, "Don't say anything about this matter, the concubine has explained, and Hua Sheng can't let Hua Sheng know that this matter is her proposal." ”

Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment, "...... So what does she mean? Let you carry the black pot? ”

Lin nodded helplessly, pinched the handkerchief and said, "I can't help it, I still have two sons, maybe I will have to count on Xue Guifei and the fourth prince in the future, don't carry the black pot for her at the moment, I want her to carry Song'er and Ming'er in the future, I'm afraid it's difficult!" ”

"But this thing is really going to happen, Huashang will definitely complain about you, if you marry into the Yanhou Mansion and live well, if you live badly, I'm afraid I will hate you for the rest of my life......" Zhao shook his head and sighed, feeling that the women in the palace are really vicious, and if they do bad things, they have to pick themselves clearly, wash them white and clean, and they are not afraid of being punished by God?

A big spark burst out of the wick, Lin Shi's face looked very tired, and he pinched his temples, "I can't help it if I hate me, what can I do?" Can it go against Xue Guifei's intentions? Besides, it's not up to me to make the decision on this matter, everything must be subject to the will of the Hou Ye. ”

Zhao was silent when he listened.

She had heard of Xue Guifei's drastic methods, otherwise she would be able to suppress Queen Su with a concubine?

Zhao looked at Lin Shi, and finally changed the topic, and said with a deep groan, "Hua Shang seems to have a good relationship with that Mu girl, I see that the two of them are together on this day, and they have hardly been separated." ”

As soon as Lin heard Zhao mention Mu Yan, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and immediately looked at Zhao fixedly, his lips were closed, and he didn't know whether to ask or not.

After all, Lin Yunzhao has been raising the Zhao family for fourteen years, and it is really difficult to ask whether the child is hers at this time. (To be continued.) )
