Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Sudden Change

"Don't be impulsive, it's never too late to make a decision when it's clear. Well, now that you're older, there are some things that the old man believes you can handle on your own. That's it, that's it, that's it! ”

Master Yiyun sighed three times, naturally he couldn't sigh the emotion in his heart, he had idle clouds and wild cranes all his life, only the matter of Mingyue's girl has been pressed in his heart, he can't let go, can't untie it, can't forget it.

Flicked his sleeves, flew away from the snow forest in an instant.

The snow was still falling, Gu Weikong stroked the purse on his waist and whispered: "Father, mother, little sister, today is your sacrifice day." In the past, Weikong spent countless days and nights thinking about being able to worship you, but now we are not far apart, and when Weikong finishes Mu Chongying's matter, I will visit you. ”

The falling snowflakes seem to bury a qiē, but what can it really cover?

――

Today, the emperor seems to be in a good mood, presumably the affairs of the court have eased. At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the Pure Heart Hall who had been tense for a long time could finally rest. Everyone had more smiles on their faces than they used to.

The Japanese Garden was built for the royal family to enjoy the scenery, and the flowers are in full bloom in all seasons, especially in winter, when the fragrance of flowers and greenery in the garden reflects the flawless snow, which is a unique taste.

Today's emperor's rare interest, in the huge pavilion, Emperor Chunyuan, the five royal highnesses, as well as Concubine Rou, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Yaxian are all enjoying the scenery in the pavilion.

Because it was snowing heavily, there were not too many minions standing in the pavilion, only Li Xiuwen, the ancient painting fan, Liufu, and some other master's minions were left to serve. The huge manor is only left with the laughter of the people in the pavilion.

"The flood in the south of the Yangtze River, you have handled it well, but now the snow is falling and the weather is cold, if you can't resettle the affected people well, the consequences are unimaginable. Now that the matter has been resolved, those corrupt ** people are also handed over to you to deal with. I will punish him severely, and warn the other ministers. If you dare to be corrupt again, you will bear the consequences! Emperor Chunyuan picked up the steaming light yarn and flowed firefly tea on the table and took a sip. He commanded in a deep voice.

Pure Yuan Lan Mu, who was sitting indifferently, heard this and said softly: "Yes." The son will live up to his father's trust! ”

Chunyuan Lan Xu, who was sitting quietly on the side, immediately got up when he heard this, bowed down and said, "The son has been entrusted by his father, and he has not yet arrested Jiang Hou!" Please punish the Emperor! ”

Emperor Chunyuan didn't seem to be as angry as he was that day this time, he only waved his hand and said lightly: "Now that the deadline has not yet arrived, you still have time to arrest Jiang Hou." Just don't let me down! ”

"The retainers obey." Chun Yuan Lan pursed her lips, and the afterglow swept over Chun Yuan Lan Mu who was sitting quietly on the side, and sat down with her sleeves brushed.

"Alright. Let's not mention the court today, it's rare that I'm in a good mood today, and the family is together together, I just want to be in a good mood! Emperor Chunyuan said with a chuckle, but his eyes turned to look at Chunyuan Lanqing, who was no longer lively and active as usual, and said with a smile: "It's you, Old Sixteen, what's the matter with your face?" ”

Hearing this, Chunyuan Lanqing pursed her lips and chuckled: "Back to my father's words, my son's retainer was just walking at night and was accidentally scratched twice by a night cat. It doesn't matter. As he spoke, he glanced at the ancient painting fan standing respectfully with his head bowed on the side, and instantly looked away.

On the right handsome face, a few blood marks are especially obvious. Although it was not swollen, the scar was still shockingly bruised.

In fact, as early as when they got together, everyone found the finger marks on his face, but it was just because of the presence of Emperor Chunyuan, it was inconvenient to ask more. Now that Emperor Chunyuan took the initiative to ask, it also aroused everyone's curiosity, and I heard that Chunyuan Lanqing said so. All of them were full of laughter for a while.

The finger marks were clearly caused by being slapped, but he also said that he was scratched by a night cat, how could it not make people laugh.

When Emperor Chunyuan heard this, he chuckled lightly and said, "Good for you clever night cat." can actually scratch the skin of your little devil. It's not easy! ”

Chunyuan Lanqing didn't explain much when she heard this obviously joking remark, and chuckled like an outsider: "Yes! The next time Erchen meets her. Be sure to teach a good lesson! ”

Several palace concubines hid their faces with handkerchiefs and laughed when they heard this, and the five highnesses closed the fans. chuckled: "If you catch it, you have to let the fifth brother see what a powerful night cat it is, a night cat that can make the sixteenth brother suffer, it is not ordinary!" ”

Everyone chuckled again, but Chunyuan Lanqing didn't care, there was still a slanted smile on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

Emperor Chunyuan's eyes turned to the Fourth Highness, who had been sitting silently, and chuckled: "Fourth, you have been silent, but you are depressed because of the delay in the marriage?" ”

When this sentence was asked, Chunyuan Lan Ye swept towards Mu Ya, who was sitting quietly on the side, and retracted his gaze as if nothing happened, and said softly: "It's not like that, it's just that I haven't talked so happily with my father and the emperor and my brothers together for a long time, and I sighed for a while, but I can't come back to my senses just listening to this laughter!" ”

With such a calm answer, Emperor Chunyuan couldn't help nodding his head and praised him for being sensible.

Mu Ya lowered her eyes, and the plain hand hidden in her sleeve had already been pierced by sharp fingers.

The ancient painting fan's eyes were cold, and when he raised his eyes to see Mu Ya who was crumbling, he pursed his lips and walked to Emperor Chunyuan to pour tea for him, and then slowly walked to Mu Ya next to him to pour tea for her. Just a shake of his hand hit the full cup of tea, and the scorching tea immediately spilled on Mu Ya's body.

But in an instant, before the exclamations of Concubine Qi and Concubine Yaxian could be spoken, the ancient painting fan suddenly put a vacant hand on Mu Ya's leg, and the full cup of hot tea was poured onto the back of the ancient painting fan's hand.

Mu Ya exclaimed, and hurried to Lagu to paint a hand that was watered with hot water. But he was holding his hands instead, only to hear the ancient painting fan exclaiming, "Concubine Rou, your hands are okay, right?" But is it hot? ”

Saying this, amid the exclamations of others, he pulled Muya's hand to the table and spread it out.

Everyone saw that the ten fingertips of Mu Ya's pair of Qianqianyu hands were all scarred, and the skin and flesh were blurred.

It's just that the action of Fang Cai's ancient painting fan is under the table, so they don't see what happened, but those are no longer important, and everyone's attention is no longer on the hot tea, but on the blurred picture on Mu Ya's fingers.

Mu Ya looked at the ancient painting fan in astonishment, touched her gaze, and a thought quickly floated through her heart. Then the depths of his eyes were full of disbelief.

Emperor Chunyuan suddenly saw the scars on Mu Ya's fingertips, frowned, and quickly took her hand and looked at it carefully.

A bad thought suddenly popped up in the hearts of Concubine Qi and Concubine Yaxian. But the situation in front of him was like this, so he had to pretend to be worried and asked, "Sister Roufei, what's wrong with your finger?" ”

Mu Ya was stunned and didn't know what to say, her eyes only stared at the ancient painting fan who had already knelt down deeply to ask for sin.

This change made the relaxed atmosphere disappear, and the palace maids and eunuchs standing on the side also knelt down with the ancient painting fan, and fell to the ground in unison. (To be continued.) )
