Chapter 3: The First Encounter at the Palace Banquet
"Ah Wan, what are you doing here, this is not the longevity lock that you specially asked someone to give your child back then, and now give her to Shu'er, this is not good, I really can't ask for it."
"Ah Wu, I know what you want to say, let's not say that when you gave birth to Shu'er, I was in the palace, and when I went out to see you, I would be told some unpleasant words everywhere, I was also busy with something else, so naturally I couldn't meet you, do you remember what I said when I was pregnant." Mrs. Mu's surname is Jiang Mingwu, and friends naturally have to use some affectionate titles, she remembered that when the queen mother was diagnosed with pregnancy, the emperor was happy and also held a palace banquet. She only thought that her friend wanted to marry a child, so she agreed, she didn't want to mean that, the queen saw that she was trapped in her memories, so she called her back to her senses, "Then the same, your child will also be my child, I lock my long life to my child, what's wrong?" ”
Mrs. Mu has always been unable to say that she is a friend, so she simply accepted it, but what neither of them could have imagined was that the unintentional words said by the first wife would become true many years later, of course, at that time, what the reaction of the two most noble women of the dynasty would be a later story. The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally want to have a good chat, which family has taken a concubine and was cleaned up by his wife, which family has added a doll, and where has the book been updated in the market, etc., etc., these are all unknown to the queen, but Mrs. Mu told her about them one by one.
The two of them chatted happily, and the time passed minute by minute, Mu Yunshu understood the words, so she naturally listened together, and when her mother finally noticed her, she gave her mother a big smile, Mrs. Mu only felt that her daughter was so cute, no matter how she rubbed it, she couldn't rub it enough, and the queen felt curious when she arrived, "This child, a little adult, seems to be able to really understand words." Mrs. Mu just said: "How can she understand, but she just sees the maids and wives pretending to understand my words on weekdays, and she just learns from me." The queen mother just smiled and touched Mu Yunshu's head, "I think our little Shu'er can really understand it, right, Shu'er, can you understand the words of your aunt and mother?" Mu Yunshu nodded, causing the queen to laugh.
On the other side, the queen's maid saw that the time was also just right, so she walked in, "Niangniang, it's time, and the ladies have also returned." The queen got up. said hello, and then, Mrs. Mu also got up and went out with the queen.
The ladies in Beijing are all the same age, in the girlhood, who is not a few handkerchiefs, now, some friends follow the husband to go to various places, a long time can not see once, self-understanding, and then with the queen, left the Zhonghe Palace, the banquet has also been set up, they are women, or wait until the husband comes to sit together, have waited in front of the door, until the eunuch sharp emperor arrived, everyone saluted, into the table.
According to the rules of the Great Chu State, only the husband and wife can sit at the same table, generally speaking, the queen is one, the emperor is one, and the queen's position is lower, in order to show the status of the ninety-five. Many concubines also participated in the banquet, after all, many officials were their parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. The younger children are carried by their mothers and barely sit at the same table with their parents. The older ones, sitting alone, know that this is for the princes to cultivate their power and form various circles in the future.
Mu Yunshu is already four years old, already a big child, can't sit with his father, so with his brothers and sisters, her cute appearance doesn't know how many teenagers and girls who are a few years older than her have sprouted, one by one just wants to sit with this little sister, and the princess is also sitting, except for the newly favored Zhang Jieyu, the emperor does not spoil the concubine too much, naturally, the number of princes and princesses is indeed less than the previous emperor, and the emperor's current children are four, The first two princes were not born of the lord of the six palaces, and they couldn't be on the table, and the latter one was the third prince raised by the queen, Xuanyuan Ming, Mu Yunshu's impression of the adopted son of the queen's aunt only stayed on what he had seen and heard in his previous life, I heard that this Xuanyuan Ming was a, and every maid in his palace let go, never married a concubine, and even rumored that he often went to the Qinglou to find a eunuch, and finally had no intention of status, he gave Xuanyuan Lang a book, and took a sum of silver to wander the rivers and lakes. The queen's aunt was so angry that she felt that she hadn't raised this son well and was seriously ill. The remaining two princesses are from the throne of the sixth palace, but their mothers and concubines are honest and duty-bound people, and they understand the emperor's grace clearly, and they are relieved to have a daughter in their lives, so the two princesses have been cultivated with a gentle temperament, and they do not fight or grab, which is their common characteristic.
It's just that this new little sister, that is, Mu Yunshu is really cute, which makes people unconsciously want to be close, they don't fight or grab, but it doesn't mean that they don't know anything about things in the palace, this little sister gave Zhang Jieyu an ugly thing, she had already heard what her mother said, and naturally wanted to sit with her. The third prince is not very old with age, but there is a world of difference between the temperament now and in the future, when he was a child, he didn't expect to be an unexpected quiet, others don't ask, he will answer, no wonder the queen is also worried when she mentions this child, Xuanyuan Ming felt that there was a sight watching him, looked around, only to find that it was Mu Xiang's little daughter, he heard the queen mother mention, this little sister is the queen mother's friend, Mrs. Mu's daughter, the little sister seems to notice herself, Xuanyuan Ming smiled at Mu Yunshu, Mu Yunshu quickly realized something, Hurriedly turned her head away, her arrogant little appearance remained in Xuanyuan Ming's heart, this sister is really interesting.
Mu Yunshu seemed to hear Xuanyuan Ming's chuckle, but felt too embarrassed, kept staring at others, was discovered by others, looked up and skimmed over there, found that he was still looking at himself, and was even more shy, and hurriedly stretched his head behind the sister next to him, sitting next to him was the emperor's fifth princess, she was the youngest of the brothers and sisters, and she always wanted the mother concubine to give birth to a sister for herself, the mother concubine just touched her head, and now this little sister is hiding behind herself, so that the fifth princess has a feeling of being a sister, in fact, Mu Yunshu's brother did not participate in this banquet, because his mother heard that his grandmother was sick, and there was a banquet in the palace, and his mother really couldn't leave, so he asked his brother to visit his grandmother, and there were many sons who played well with Mu Yunshu's brother Mu Yundi, and they all asked her where your brother went, and she spoke a little unfavorably, "My grandmother is sick, my brother went to see her" Mu Yunshu's crooked head killed I don't know how many boys and girls have captured the hearts of boys and girls, and a group of people shouted in their hearts that they are so cute, and they want their parents to give birth to a lovely sister when they go home. It's cuter than Mufu's sister.
Mu Yunshu is still young, and the soul inside said: "It's not that she's still cute at her age, it's really because she's too young, her soul power is not enough, and she can't control this body well" didn't think about it at all, it was obviously her own reason, she also had her own thoughts, she herself understood how popular her shell was, it was better to pave the way for the future while she was now, these aristocratic sons and misses, one day they will be officials or officials' wives, and it is always good to have a good relationship now.
The children always eat a smaller amount, than the adults are staggered, but also when they are full, they have to walk around, and the nurses from all walks of life shout "Little ancestor, don't run around" here and there, and the more mature ones are at the door, waiting until their parents go home after eating. Mu Yunshu is also a member of the running around, she knows that there are many rules in the palace, but she doesn't go to other places, she goes to the imperial garden, in her last life, there is a wonder in the imperial garden, behind the rockery, there are a few flowers, this flower will only bloom at night, and it will close during the day, and it can only be seen at night.
It's just that Mu Yunshu didn't expect to meet Xuanyuan Ming here, obviously, Xuanyuan Ming too, he came here this time for the flower, which only blooms at night, although the fragrance is insufficient, but it is exceptionally good-looking, Mu Yunshu then remembered that this flower was told to her by the queen mother in her previous life, and the third prince who wanted to come as the queen's adopted son also knew about it.
There is no way, Mu Yunshu thought to himself that he couldn't just say that I came here for the flowers, so he had to rub his little face and eyes, with a crying voice: "Brother, Shu'er is lost, where is this, Shu'er can't find her father" Her appearance is really pitiful, Xuanyuan Ming didn't think why the nurse didn't follow her, so he hugged her: "It's okay, it's okay, can't you find your father, can my brother take you to find your father?" Many years later, Xuanyuan Ming only felt that he was dizzy at that time, so he fell into Mu Yunshu's trap, and he didn't expect this girl to be all acting.
It's just that now Xuanyuan Ming only felt that such a lovely sister was crying, so distressed, such a lovely sister, should be smiling, picking her up and curling up her little body on herself, that night, the little third prince made up his mind to protect this little sister. "Brother take you to a place, your father and mother are still having a banquet with my father and the emperor in the palace, is my little sister going to see the flowers?" Mu Yunshu happened to have no excuse to go to see the flowers, and he was still angry in his heart, when he suddenly heard Xuanyuan Ming's words, he rolled his eyes and pretended to be a child, "Huahua, is there Huahua?"
"Well, yes, it's still a beautiful flower."
"Then, then I'll follow my brother" After speaking, she pretended to cry, pretending to be shy and buried her head in Xuanyuan Ming's arms, she didn't know what was wrong with doing this, and she didn't know why, for Xuanyuan Ming, there was always an inexplicable trust.
By the time the couples and workers of the Mu family found them, Mu Yunshu had already fallen asleep with Xuanyuan Ming head to head in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, Mrs. Mu woke up her little daughter, and Mu Yunshu fell asleep in her mother's arms in a daze.
On the other side, after Xuanyuan Ming was woken up, it was rare to ask the queen mother to lead her back, and the queen was also surprised by the closeness of this son to herself, but she did not refuse, and under the same moonlight, the two mothers took their children and returned to their respective homes
