Chapter 194

"Okay, what's this arguing about?" Shang Qirui just looked at the two little palace maids.

Although this buying grandma is working in Princess Rou'an's palace, but a person who is busy in the kitchen, where can he have the opportunity to see Shang Qirui on weekdays? Knowing that the two little palace maids were usually serving in the imperial study, and seeing that Shang Qirui was still very familiar with them, he couldn't help but think a lot in his heart.

The two little girls naturally saw the water kite following Shang Qirui, and they could probably guess something in their hearts, and replied very respectfully: "Back to the third highness, the slaves and maids just came out to buy some things for the princess, and they will go back immediately......"

"If it's okay, go back and serve the princess." Shang Qirui dropped a sentence and left with the water kite.

The two little girls helped up Mama Caimai, and Mama Caimai's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn. stopped blaming the two of them, and returned the pearl necklace diligently, and kept saying good things.

"That grandma, let's go back quickly, it's been a long time since we came out...... "The two little girls are people who take care of the overall situation, for such a grandma, they still don't take it to heart, and they don't care about her little bit of caution with her.

Naturally, the three of them agreed and walked back quickly. The kite had been following behind, and when she saw them enter the palace, she gave up. Although the water kite's martial arts are strong, there are so many guards in the palace, all of them are very powerful. It's not a big deal for her to follow her secretly, but if she is discovered, the misunderstanding will be big, and it will affect Mu Qingge. Therefore, no one will go to the palace to follow people unless absolutely necessary.

"So to speak. Those two girls are from the palace, it seems that what they said should be true. Mu Qingge pondered.

"That's right, they're from the palace, I'm sure." Shang Qirui also nodded, "I did see those two girls at my father's place, but it's very strange, how could my father let them serve Rou'an?" ”

Mu Qingge pursed his lips, and the focus was completely different: "Why haven't I seen two little girls at His Majesty?" Your Highness, your observation is careful......"

The voice was full of banter. That means that Shang Qirui observes the beauty very carefully. Shang Qirui was just about to call the wrong. Then I thought, is Mu Qingge jealous? It's rare, so he looked at it with a smile that seemed to be a smile: "What? Jealous? ”

asked so bluntly that Mu Qingge was embarrassed. Look back. I saw that the water kite and Ding Mo turned their heads to the side very tacitly. "You go ahead." We didn't see anything." couldn't help blushing and glared at Shang Qirui, at this time. What are you kidding?

Shang Qirui spread his hands helplessly, didn't you joke first?

Mu Qingge was speechless, glared at Shang Qirui again, and then said: "I estimate that His Majesty sent someone he trusted to serve Princess Rou'an, obviously not because he felt sorry for Princess Rou'an. But...... I think there's a lot more to surveillance. Otherwise, Xiao Fang would not have used this way to deliver messages to me. ”

"You're right, I think so." Shang Qirui also returned to seriousness, "So, I decided to go to the palace to find out the news first." ”

"It's okay, you can see if you can see the princess, and even if you can't, find out what happened." Mu Qingge nodded, thinking of Empress Xue's matter, and said, "By the way, if you can't see the princess, you can try to ask the queen mother." ”

Because he didn't know whether Empress Xue was implicated in this matter, Mu Qingge didn't dare to say it too clearly. Just asked him to take a look, if there was something to Empress Xue, Shang Qirui would naturally see it. If it's okay, that's good.

Shang Qirui was a little puzzled, he knew Empress Xue's difficulties. So generally speaking, no matter what happened to him or what happened to Rou'an, Shang Qirui tried not to disturb Queen Xue. He rarely asked Empress Xue to come forward to help him do anything. This time was the same, he didn't want to involve Empress Xue. After all, it is also difficult for Queen Xue to be sandwiched between her husband and children.

At this point, Shang Qirui and Mu Qingge have a tacit understanding. Neither of them mentioned it, but when they dealt with it, they were very conscious of avoiding Queen Xue. However, this time, Mu Qingge actually asked himself to find Queen Xue? Shang Qirui didn't understand what Mu Qingge meant, but he was sure that there was something in her heart that she hadn't told herself. Shang Qirui believed in Mu Qingge, and didn't ask much, but he had already decided in his heart, if it didn't work, he would ask Queen Xue, maybe he could really find any clues.

Mu Qingge knew his identity, and it was not suitable for him to run to the palace at will without getting his will, especially at this special time. Therefore, Mu Qingge was just waiting for Shang Qirui in the Prince's Mansion and did not follow.

Shang Qirui took Zhimo away, Ding Mo's eyes flashed, and he looked at Mu Qingge: "Miss, do you want to go to the yard for a walk?" ”

Mu Qingge didn't have much interest in visiting the yard or anything. She actually wanted to ask, why didn't she see Wen Meier come out to make trouble today? But I felt that if I asked it, it seemed a little too deliberate. Although Ding Mo doesn't seem to be an outsider, he still feels shy in the end. As if asking, it seems that he cares about Shang Qirui.

"I want to ...... Go to the study and have a look, is it okay? Mu Qingge thought for a while, but he was still embarrassed to ask. Shang Qirui's study, she has always wanted to look at it. As a person who has lived two lives, what kind of books do you read? Is there anything different?

"Absolutely." Ding Mo did not hesitate and took Mu Qingge all the way over.

"Miss, go in, don't go in the kite...... His Royal Highness's study never lets others in......" Ding Mo swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach, and almost said that only Wen Mei'er had entered once. In front of Mu Qingge, Wen Meier, isn't she looking for displeasure?

Mu Qingge had already stepped to the door, but he retracted his feet again: "Since His Highness's study doesn't allow anyone to enter, it's not suitable for me to enter, right?" ”

Ding Mo didn't expect Mu Qingge to be so polite, relying on her relationship with Shang Qirui. Shouldn't you want to check it out? Just now, I said I wanted to go in and have a look, but now I even retreated.

"Miss, you're naturally different......" Ding Mo smiled embarrassedly, thinking that Mu Qingge did it on purpose, "Your Highness won't care." ”

"That's not going to work." Mu Qingge said seriously and withdrew, "Since His Highness doesn't let anyone in, there is naturally a reason not to let people in." There is no reason, I have made an exception when I come here, and I should respect His Highness's decision. ”

Ding Mo saw that Mu Qingge really planned to leave. only to understand that she was not joking. A little surprised, he hurriedly explained: "No, Miss, you misunderstood the meaning of the villain." His Royal Highness said that no one else should be allowed to enter the study. But it was also said. This prince's mansion. Miss anywhere did not go casually, including the study. ”

Mu Qingge looked at Ding Mo with some doubts, thinking that it was probably impossible for him to say such a thing behind Shang Qirui's back. Hesitated. And I believe his words. Also, there's nothing to do here, and it's really boring.

Mu Qingge entered the study, Ding Mo and Shui Kite waited outside, and thoughtfully closed the door of the study.

There's nothing special here. This was Mu Qingge's first impression when he entered the study, rows of bookshelves filled with various books. Then there's a simple desk, a chair. There is no special decoration, and the whole study appears clean and simple.

Mu Qingge casually walked to the desk and saw an unfinished painting on the table. Mu Qingge was curious for a while, and walked over to see what was going on. The painting is of a woman in white, whose face has not yet been painted, and looking at the dress, it looks like her own. Could it be that Shang Qirui is painting himself? Mu Qingge was a little unsure, because although she herself likes to wear white clothes, in this era, wearing white is not so suitable for many occasions. So, she has given up her hobby of wearing white, and her clothes, the colors have become brighter and brighter. However, I didn't know that Shang Qirui's painting skills were also so powerful.

didn't see the finished appearance of this painting, Mu Qingge always felt itchy in his heart, and he felt that his heart was hanging. Originally, I came to look for a book to read, but at this time, I couldn't help but look for a painting in the study, wanting to see what the painting drawn by Shang Qirui looked like.

There weren't many words in the study, Mu Qingge looked for a while, and found a painting tied up in an inconspicuous corner. It looks like it hasn't been touched for a while, and there's still a little dust on it.

Mu Qingge hesitated for a moment and decided to put the painting back. Who knew that the wind was blowing, the dust was blind, and the wood green singer shook it, and the painting fell to the ground.

Mu Qingge couldn't help but laugh, isn't this a bridge in the TV series? Isn't there a big secret that will be discovered in this painting? Thinking so boredly in his heart, Mu Qingge squatted down to pick up the paintings. The moment her hand touched the painting, she was really stunned. Because the corner of the scattered painting reveals half of a wheelchair.

Mu Qingge's hand trembled, and he slowly unfolded the painting. It's the way I used to be in a wheelchair, and I'm sick. This is clearly himself, but it makes Mu Qingge feel strange, as if there is something wrong.

Mu Qingge watched it for a while, and finally knew that something was wrong. Although the person in this painting has the same facial features as herself, she is obviously older than herself. Moreover, the eyes of the people in the painting are deep and blurry, but there is also obvious hatred and resentment. This person is definitely not himself.

In this world, there is probably no one who looks exactly like himself. However, Mu Qingge smiled bitterly, his appearance was also stolen. This is not what I look like, this is what the original owner looks like. Therefore, this painting should be Mu Qingge from the previous life.

It turned out that in Shang Qirui's heart, Mu Qingge was like this. I don't know why, Mu Qingge held the hand of the painting and subconsciously shook it.

I don't know what I'm thinking in my heart, I seem to think a lot, but I don't seem to think about anything, and my mind is blank. Mu Qingge stared at the painting for no longer before he stood up, re-rolled the painting, and put it back on the bookshelf.

When I put it back, I realized that there were other paintings on the shelf. Mu Qingge hesitated, took out a scroll from the pile of paintings at random, and opened it.

The painting is still a woman, wearing a pink dress, with a graceful posture, a charming appearance, and gentle eyes.

Mu Qingge's hand holding the painting clenched subconsciously, the woman on the painting was Wen Meier. Judging from the painting, this Wen Meier is better than the Wen Meier that Mu Qingge knows now. Be a little older, too. Therefore, it is almost certain that this is also Wen Meier in the previous life, and it is Wen Meier in Shang Qirui's memory.

It turned out that in Shang Qirui's memory, Wen Meier was such a gentle and beautiful woman. No wonder as soon as he was reborn, he married Wen Meier for the first time. Although Shang Qirui said that he married Wen Meier in order to repay his kindness. Although Shang Qirui said that he and Wen Meier have not yet had a round house. But Mu Qingge looked at this painting and still didn't believe it. In Shang Qirui's heart. I really have no other feelings for Wen Meier. His Wen Meier is so gentle and charming, if it weren't for the love in his heart. How do you draw it? It's like the portrait of Mu Qingge before. The resentment is also palpable.

Mu Qingge suddenly became a little flustered. In a hurry, he put away the painting in his hand, stuffed it back on the bookshelf haphazardly, and fled to the door. Want to leave.

"Concubine Wen Niangniang...... But as soon as Mu Qingge arrived at the door, he heard the voices of Ding Mo and Shui Kite asking for peace. It's really a coincidence that Wen Meier actually came here.

Mu Qingge pulled the doorknob's hand, and suddenly put it down, and I don't know why, Mu Qingge suddenly felt that he had no strength.

"Concubine Wen, you can't go in, His Royal Highness said that no one can enter the study......" Probably Wen Meier wanted to enter the study, but Ding Mo was stopping her.

Mu Qingge cautiously walked to the window of the study, and cautiously poked his eyes out to see the situation outside. There was a sudden loud "buzz" in the head.

Wen Meier was wearing a white shirt, dressed exactly like the unfinished painting of Shang Qirui on the desk.

Outside the window, Wen Meier was still asking Ding Mo: "Is Your Highness in the study?" ”

As he asked, he looked up at the study.

Mu Qingge didn't know what was wrong with her, so she hurriedly lowered her head and sat on the ground with her buttocks, not letting Wen Mei'er find out about her storage. Didn't Ding Mo say that Shang Qirui said that he could come in casually? What is there to be afraid of her? Why are you hiding from Wen Meier? She is Shang Qirui's fiancΓ©e, what is there to hide? Mu Qingge's heart flashed countless questions, but he still didn't have the courage to stand up.

I only heard that Ding Mo outside the door had been patiently explaining to Wen Mei'er, saying that His Royal Highness had entered the palace. Wen Meier is very strange, why did His Royal Highness enter the palace and Ding Mo has to guard the door of the study? Why is Mu Qingge's maid water kite here?

Mu Qingge's mind was in a mess, and he heard Ding Mo and Shui Kite's explanations with great effort. Maybe they also wonder why they don't go out? So I didn't dare to expose what I was doing in the study. Mu Qingge also wanted to stand up and relieve them. But helplessly, his legs were disobedient, and his voice seemed to be hoarse. So, there has been no action.

"Why are you all stuck here?" This is Shang Qirui's voice. He said he would be back soon, and he was back very soon.

"Your Highness......" The voices of greetings.

"Why are you here?" Shang Qirui's voice sounded like he was asking Wen Meier. The tone was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether it was happy or unhappy.

"The concubine just came to see His Highness......

Wen Mei'er didn't finish her words, and was interrupted by Shang Qirui: "Go back, I'm busy...... If you don't have anything to do, don't just walk around......"

Listening to this voice, it seems to have a hint of apology.

"Yes, the concubine is retiring." Wen Meier's voice could be heard with a hint of unwillingness.

"What's going on?" After a while, it seemed that Wen Mei'er had left, and Shang Qirui asked Ding Mo and Shui Kite.

"Mademoiselle is in the study." Shui Kite said, there were doubts in her voice, and she didn't understand why Mu Qingge didn't make a sound just now.

Shang Qirui was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Qingge ......"

Without answering, Shang Qirui took two quick steps, pushed open the door of the study, and saw Mu Qingge standing at the desk, his face was very calm. Seeing Shang Qirui coming in, he said, "You're back so soon?" ”

The voice was also calm, as if nothing had happened. It seems that nothing really happened at all. Shang Qirui felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"You ......" Shang Qirui hesitated, "Why don't you make a sound?" ”

"Didn't you just come in and see it?" Mu Qingge walked over, passed by Shang Qirui, and walked towards the outside of the study, as if remembering something, and said, "Oh, you won't mean when Concubine Wen came over, right?" I think as soon as I opened my mouth, she might have misunderstood again......"

Shang Qirui frowned, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, and when he saw Mu Qingge going out, he also followed, and went to pull Mu Qingge's hand: "I have already said that she should not come out......"

"Why?" Mu Qingge turned around in surprise, just avoiding Shang Qirui's move of holding hands, "Why can't you let Concubine Wen come out?" ”

Shang Qi Ruiyi was speechless, Wen Meier's matter, he had no way to explain it to anyone. is for Mu Qingge, he can only say that he has no love for Wen Meier. However, wanting to protect Wen Meier's heart is also true. Therefore, Shang Qirui didn't know how to explain himself.

"Forget it, none of this matters......" Mu Qingge lowered his head, "How is it in the palace?" Have you seen the princess and the queen? ”

"No,......" Shang Qirui shook his head and said, "Let's go back, talk as we go." ”

"Okay." Mu Qingge nodded, reached out and combed his somewhat scattered hair, once again making Shang Qirui's hand that he wanted to hold pause.

Mu Qingge didn't see anything, and walked straight forward.

"I went to the palace to see Rou'an and was stopped...... Then, my father asked someone to call me over......" Shang Qirui hesitated for a moment, and didn't ask Mu Qingge what was wrong. He guessed that Mu Qingge probably still cared about Wen Mei'er, and he was not happy. It's just that she didn't know how to ask, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he just avoided it, anyway, he would always be good to her, and she would know sooner or later.

"My father said that it was because Rou'an left the palace without permission, so he punished her for thinking about it and didn't let me see her." Shang Qirui continued to talk about the affairs of the palace, "I'm afraid that it will affect Rou'an, and I don't dare to be overly persistent. asked Rou'an's body, and my father also said that it was fine, it's okay, and after a few days, I would wait for Rou'an to finish thinking about it, and then let her come to me. I said again that I was going to say goodbye to my mother, but I was stopped by my father. said that the queen mother doesn't want to see people these days. ”

Shang Qirui was a little helpless, Shang Jingdi's excuses were obviously excuses, but because he didn't understand what was going on. So I didn't dare to face Emperor Shang Jing.

"Come out from my father, because my father sent someone to follow me all the time, so I don't dare to ask everywhere." Shang Qirui was a little annoyed, "I had to leave Zhimo, hoping that he could ask for some news." ”

Mu Qingge was speechless, it seems that the situation in the palace is indeed not very good.

"Do you think I should go straight to the Queen Mother and Rou'an?" Shang Qirui saw that Mu Qingge didn't speak, and he was a little flustered in his heart, and couldn't help asking.

"Huh?" Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "No, why do you think like that?" These are extraordinary times, and we can't figure out what's going on. In case they really have something, and you have an impulse, and you are also locked up by His Majesty, then who else can save them? Don't worry, figure out what's going on before we can take the next step. Planning and then acting, impulsiveness will not solve things. Let's wait for Zhimo to come back, he has always been clever, and he will definitely be able to find out the news. ”

Shang Qirui saw that Mu Qingge analyzed very carefully, and he didn't mean to be angry or unhappy, thinking or really thinking too much. didn't mention anything else, only studied the details with Mu Qingge: "When I left, I met Concubine Xian...... In the past, Concubine Xian saw me, although she didn't like it, but on the surface she was at least polite. But today, although she looks polite, the happiness and pride in her bones are not completely hidden. ”

Virtuous Concubine? Mu Qingge thought of what Mrs. Kong said, and he was also a little uneasy in his heart. The battle between the virtuous concubine and the queen is, to put it bluntly, the battle of the crown prince. The battle of the crown prince, to put it bluntly, is more now, I am afraid that it is a battle between Shang Qirui and Shang Qichao.

Mu Qingge couldn't help but glance at Shang Qirui, in fact, she had never asked Shang Qirui this question. Reliving I, he has too much advantage. Moreover, if he wants to take revenge, the best way is to become the most powerful person in the world. So, what was going on in his heart? Ever wanted to be the master of this country?

At this point, Mu Qingge can't see through Shang Qirui. Sometimes, he doesn't care much. But sometimes, it looks like there is a plan. Many of the things he did earned him a lot of fame and influence. If, his desire, really is to become a monarch. So what should she do? (To be continued......)
