Mu Yan and Xue Huashang followed side by side. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lin Yun deliberately slowed down, she kept a very close distance between her and Xue Zhiyuan, and whispered a word or two to Xue Zhiyuan from time to time.
Xue Zhiyuan only said to her with a calm face, "Cousin, don't you know that the palace must be cautious in words and deeds?" ”
Lin Yun blushed, coughed dryly, pursed his lips and didn't dare to speak again.
The palace is prosperous, but it is extremely depressing, all the way through, all the maids and servants are holding their breath one by one, silent, and even the sound of breathing is well controlled, which shows that the palace rules are strict.
Under this atmosphere, people always feel an invisible sense of oppression.
Lin didn't have much communication with the answering grandmother, after all, the people in the palace were very cautious in what they said and did, and if they said too much, they would lose. In the palace, if you lose your words, you will be beaten at the least, and you will lose your head at the worst, so the people in the palace have never liked to say much.
The group followed Mama Ying into Zhaoyang Palace, Xue Guifei set up a tea party in the side hall, and everyone entered the side hall.
Xue Guifei sat upright, wearing a graceful and luxurious dress, a purple woven gold floor-length skirt, red gold steps shook gently on the sideburns, the face was rubbed with fat powder, and the skin was delicate and ruddy, and the makeup was impeccable.
There is often a saying in the palace that flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not favored for a hundred days, in such a place where there is never a shortage of beauties, Xue Guifei can always let the emperor leave a place for her in her heart, and she is always undefeated, which is also her ability.
Lin led the children forward and bowed respectfully.
Xue Guifei stretched out her hand, her delicate and soft fingers gently drew an arc in the air, and with a smile on her cheeks, she said, "Get up." Then he pointed to the position of the lower head and said, "Give me a seat." ”
Lin said respectfully, "Xie Guifei Niangniang." ”
The Lin family led everyone to sit down in turn, Mu Yan was next to Xue Huasheng, Xue Huashang was next to the Lin family, and the four Xue Zhiyuan brothers lined up......
A palace maid immediately brought hot tea, and all kinds of exquisite refreshments were placed on the long table of rosewood carving, many of which could not be eaten outside the palace.
Xue Guifei smiled and said, "Try it, this is the Enshi Yulu sent by the Governor of Liangguang a few days ago, I drank it very well, and I specially left some for you to taste." ”
Lin smiled lightly and took the celadon bowl with a beautiful pattern, "Niangniang is really hearted, thank you Niangniang." ”
"Your own family, you don't have to be polite." Xue Guifei waved her wide sleeves, and her eyes fell on Mu Yan.
The last time we met, it was at Xue Guifei's birthday banquet, and at that time, Mu Yan was just a child recruited by the Mu Mansion.
Things in the world are really here and there, and there is no telling what will happen in the next moment.
Xue Guifei beckoned to Mu Yan, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Come and let me see, I saw you last time and see you this time, it feels really different." ”
Lin Shi glanced at Mu Yan, she was afraid that Mu Yan would be nervous.
Mu Yan's face was calm, she put down the tea bowl in her hand, got up and walked slowly towards Xue Guifei, and only when she approached did she curtsy.
Xue Guifei immediately raised her hand, and the two of them smiled and said, "I have already saluted, get up quickly, come to me." ”
Everyone stared at Mu Yan.
Lin Yun was jealous in his heart, hoping that Mu Yan would be good if he could make a fool of himself.
Mu Yan got up generously and approached Xue Guifei.
Xue Guifei looked at Mu Yan's face with a smile, looked at it for a moment, and said slowly, "Well, it's really very pretty." He glanced at Lin again, and said with a light smile, "It is said that most of my aunts and nephews look alike, and when I see your two aunts and nephews, I will believe this." ”
Xue Zhiyuan's eyebrows moved instantly, and he was a little worried in his heart, afraid that Xue Guifei would see the clue, and afraid that Xue Guifei would already know the inside story, and this matter was just a trick.
Lin's heart was beating suddenly, and his palms were full of sweat.
She knows that such a situation will definitely be encountered often in the future, and this is also something that cannot be helped, how can the biological mother and daughter be different?
Although Mu Yan was also apprehensive in her heart, she didn't show it at all on her face, and said with a shallow smile, "Actually, you and Cousin Huashang are also a little similar. ”
Xue Guifei said with a smile, "When Huashang was young, people often said this, but now that she is older, she is even more beautiful and good-looking than when I was young." ”
Mu Yan successfully diverted the topic.
Lin and Xue Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time.
Xue Huashang was actually secretly sweating, and when she heard this, she smiled lightly and said, "If only I could have the blessing of one of my aunt's ten in the future." ”
"You child, your good fortune is yet to come." Xue Guifei pursed her lips and smiled, and beckoned to the palace maid behind her, who walked over with a small black lacquer tray with a few brilliant jewelry, and knelt down respectfully in front of Xue Guifei.
Xue Guifei stretched out her slender jade hand, picked up a pair of white jade bracelets from the tray, gently pulled Mu Yan's hand, put the bracelet on for her, and said with a smile, "This is the first time you have returned to the palace, so you should be a greeting gift." ”
Mu Yan only felt that the wrist was cool, this pair of white jade bracelets was transparent in color, delicate in jade, and there was a circle of blessing characters engraved on it, which should be a treasure sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Xue Guifei was very generous.
Mu Yan hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.
Xue Guifei smiled and asked her to get up, and ordered the palace maid to bring over the two pieces of jewelry left in the tray, a pair of jade bracelets were given to Xue Huasheng, and a pair of tourmaline stone bracelets were given to Lin Yun.
In contrast, Lin Yun's reward is the lightest.
Lin Yun felt indescribable in his heart, hated and annoyed, and felt that he was very useless.
What she didn't know was that Xue Guifei did this just to remind her and let her find her position, after all, she was an adopted daughter, how could she be compared with her daughter-in-law?
After giving the meeting gift, Xue Guifei ordered someone to set up a banquet, and ordered someone to invite the four princes to come over for a meal together.
The fourth prince had been grounded a few days ago, and now that the ban has been lifted, Xue Guifei is very happy.
The four princes came quickly, and when they came, they hugged each other, followed by a large number of palace maids.
As a prince, he is naturally dressed well, full of heavenly nobility, the outline of the fourth prince is very prominent, the facial features are angular, the pointed chin always reveals a sense of alienation, and the eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Xue Guifei, and the corners of the eyes are raised when looking at people, condescending.
Mu Yan followed Xue Zhiyuan, and they asked the four princes to say goodbye.
Xue Guifei saw her son's smiling eyebrows and eyes, and said to the fourth prince, "Your cousin and cousin are rarely able to enter the palace, and when they have dinner, you take them to the imperial garden for a walk." ”
The fourth prince nodded yes, and turned his head to greet Xue Zhiyuan.
Although it's an aunt-uncle relationship, there are a lot of things in it, so it's not so close to talking.
Just a simple greeting and no excessive language.
However, when the fourth prince saw Mu Yan, he deliberately asked two more words, "You are the eldest lady of the Lin family who was held wrong?" (To be continued.) )
