Chapter Forty-Eight: Glamorous
In autumn, the trees in the courtyard turn blue and are dyed yellow.
Fallen leaves swirl in the air with the wind, making a rustling sound.
Mu Zhiling put a small square table with a hardwood inlay in the Begonia Garden, sorted out the medical books she read a few days ago, and took some notes.
Suddenly, she put the small red sandalwood pen in her hand on the inkstone, closed the book, supported her chin with both hands, and looked at the dead leaves dancing in the wind in a daze.
Tomorrow is August 15, the time of the autumn feast.
In the past few days, the whole Guogong Mansion has been preparing for the autumn banquet, and it is busy.
Mu Zhiling felt tasteless.
She had seen a lot of banquets like this in her previous life.
Most of them are still in the palace**.
At every banquet, she seems to make a fool of herself.
You remember that once she deliberately wore a pair of extremely delicate gold-threaded shoes and a long dress embroidered with gold silk yarn. It was Song Yingzhao who went to the Jiangnan Water Town and brought it back to her.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when she knelt down in the Zhaohua Palace, the sound of cracking silk resounded throughout the hall.
She looked down and didn't notice anything unusual, and when she got up disapprerovingly, she only felt extremely uncomfortable under her feet, and when she looked down again, the tip of her shoe cracked.
She looked around, everyone's eyes were strange, and Old Madam Mu was even more blushing.
When the mother was about to get up, the brother had already walked up to her side without hesitation, took off his coat and put it on top of her.
She realized that the back of her dress had been torn several times.
Mu Zhiling sighed secretly, she was too stupid in her previous life, she only cared about her embarrassment at the time, but she didn't calm down and think about the reason.
Just when she was stunned, Mu Zhixuan approached with interest, "Fifth sister, do you think I look good?" ”
Mu Zhiling hurriedly put the medical book white into the brocade bag, got up and turned her head to look at Mu Zhixuan, and smiled lightly.
Mu Zhixuan stretched her neck, her eyes fell on the square table, and when she saw Mu Zhiling walking towards her, she withdrew her gaze.
Mu Zhiling saw Mu Zhixuan's outfit today, and her breath stagnated.
Mu Zhixuan in front of her is incredibly beautiful.
A golden silk soft smoke skirt rippled in the breeze, perhaps because of the fat powder, the skin was as white as jade, and the skin was like congealed fat. Bright eyes and bright teeth, red lips are gorgeous. Under the ears are gold filament-encrusted gemstone leaf-shaped earrings, which are particularly eye-catching.
Today's Mu Zhixuan is very beautiful, and it feels similar to Mu Zhishu in the previous life.
If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of her was still a little immature between her eyebrows, and her face was not very similar, otherwise Mu Zhiling would have mistakenly thought that she was not Mu Zhixuan but Mu Zhishu.
Mu Zhiling's face froze, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
In her previous life, Mu Zhixuan was dressed very elegantly and loved white yarn. Although he looks beautiful, he is not moving, although his facial features are exquisite, he is not charming, and there is no charm of the person in front of him in his gestures.
In the past few years, Mu Zhixuan has developed better than Mu Zhiling, and she has become more and more beautiful and moving, and Mu Zhixuan in her previous life is like two people.
Suddenly, I thought that this year, Mu Zhixuan was also in the limelight in Yushutang, and she was outstanding in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Su Bai's slender hand swayed in front of Mu Zhiling's eyes, Mu Zhixuan suppressed the smile on her face and asked, "Fifth sister, what's wrong with you?" ”
Mu Zhiling came back to her senses and said approvingly: "Sister Xuan's body is very beautiful!" ”
Mu Zhixuan smiled brightly, took Mu Zhiling's hand, and said, "I still want to ask my fifth sister to help take a look, if I don't think it's good-looking, I'll ask Xiu Niang to take it and change it." By the way, fifth sister, why don't you try it, if you try it now, if you feel that the effect is not good, you can modify it, if it doesn't fit tomorrow, then you can't change it. ”
"I tried it just in time, and it fits perfectly."
couldn't resist Mu Zhixuan, Mu Zhiling had to say this.
When the dress was brought over by the maid yesterday, she put it aside and did not touch it.
The left and right are just a piece of clothing, so what if they look good? What if it's not good-looking? She wished that the more inconspicuous she was, the better.
If you dress too ostentatiously, you are afraid that you will cause too much unnecessary trouble.
Sister, I heard that there will be a lot of officials and nobles tomorrow, and there will definitely be a lot of young and promising sons and brothers to come, and the fifth sister can choose from them, if there is something eye-catching, you can also let the third aunt send a matchmaker to go, anyway, the third aunt loves you, and she will definitely think about you. ”
Mu Zhiling stared at Mu Zhixuan deeply, and spit out a few words: "Sister Xuan is a trick again, where is there a daughter's family looking for someone to talk to, not to mention the people who will come tomorrow, I'm afraid I don't like any of them." ”
Mu Zhixuan raised her eyebrows invisibly, her tone was a little weird, and said, "You don't know who is going to come tomorrow, how can you make a conclusion?" If you don't have one of your own children, I'm afraid that your grandmother will have to pick it for you in the future, and it's better to make your own decisions about your own marriage. Mu Zhixuan said the Tao, suddenly paused, and inexplicably said: "Could it be that the fifth sister already has someone she likes in her heart?" Otherwise, why would you say that you don't like any of them? ”
Mu Zhiling deliberately parted Mu Zhixuan's hand, turned around and said, "Sister Xuan will laugh, I am with you on weekdays, who do you think I like?" ”
Mu Zhixuan smiled evilly, leaned into Mu Zhiling's ear and whispered: "Look, Zhao Xiao Wangye, the five princes are very good to the fifth sister, every festival over the years, the five princes will ask someone to bring some things to the fifth sister, and Zhao Xiao Wang Ye also cares about you very much, and he has been to the military camp all these years, but he often writes to you." ”
As soon as Mu Zhixuan's words fell, Mu Zhiling felt uncomfortable.
I remember the sentence of the fifth prince five years ago: You and I don't have to be so unfamiliar......
If she is a child, she should feel that it is her unsurpassed glory to be taken care of by the five princes, but she has lived two lives, and some things have been seen too thoroughly.
People in the royal family will not be kind to people for no reason, even if the fifth prince was only twelve years old five years ago.
Over the years, he has taken care of her a little too much.
And Song Yingzhao's so-called letters over the years will only make her sick.
In the past few years, the longer the time, the clearer the memories of her previous life, those memories of Song Yingzhao, she can't wait to erase them.
But he contradictory wants to remember, remember the cruel things he did to her, one by one, one by one.
It is like a soldering iron on the body, forming a deep imprint that cannot be erased.
She said coldly: "Sister Xuan always likes to joke, and Brother Zhao of the Fifth Prince is good to me, but I am only afraid that it is because of my mother." It's not what you think. Besides, I don't want to marry someone from the royal family, and I fight with those women all day long, and in the end, the bamboo basket is empty. ”
Mu Zhixuan's back stiffened slightly, and she looked at Mu Zhiling in a daze.
"Fifth Sister ......"
Mu Zhixuan wanted to say something, but the words reached her mouth and swallowed into her stomach, but her expression softened a lot unconsciously.
