When only Mu Yunge and Zhang Ying were left in the hall, Zhang Ying suddenly returned to his previous careless appearance.

Seeing this, Mu Yunge couldn't help but ask, "It seems that you should be very bored in the palace these days." ”

Asked by Mu Yunge, Zhang Ying began to complain. "Don't mention it, the royal brother said that there will be other countries coming to worship next year, and he intends to make peace, and suddenly the pressure came up, you said that I would not become a tool of harmony."

Hearing this, Mu Yunge's face also became a little unsightly, although she and Zhang Ying are fellow countrymen, but with their current ability, it is not easy to mix like a fish in water in ancient times.

Thinking so, Mu Yunge said tentatively, "Then you didn't probe the Queen Mother's tone?" ”

Asked by Mu Yunge, Zhang Ying looked helpless, "Why not, yes, but the queen mother avoids my topic very skillfully every time, even if I especially want to say something to her, I don't have a chance." ”

Thinking that she didn't get the slightest result from her mother, Zhang Ying only felt very depressed.

Mu Yunge stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Ying's shoulder, taking the initiative to reassure, "Okay, since things are already like this, it means that it is not easy to change at all, if you want me to say, let's wait and see." Besides, if our previous guess was correct, so many things will happen in the new year, maybe your things will be put on hold for the time being. ”

Mu Yunge's words made Zhang Ying's eyes light up, she was really anxious when she first learned the news before, for fear that something would happen, for fear that she would marry far away, but she forgot that there were so many things to deal with in the new year, how could she easily solve her marriage matter.

In this way, Zhang Ying's face was even more rare with a smile.

"Yunge, it's good to have you anyway."

The two chatted for a long time, and Mu Yunge also told Zhang Ying about his suspicions about Li Yuanai, and Zhang Ying immediately frowned, "Yunge, this matter can't be put on the surface for the time being, I know you must have other thoughts in your heart, but you have to believe that this matter is not as simple as it seems." ”

The people who knew Mu Yunxue's appearance before had all moved away from the original place, which means that someone must be behind the ghost, and in this way, things seem to have become more complicated.

Knowing what Zhang Ying meant, Mu Yunge's face was not very good-looking, "Today's palace banquet, I'm afraid that Li Yuanai will also be there, I still want to confirm it again." ”

Mu Yunge's expression was serious, and the moment the two looked at each other, Zhang Ying immediately understood what Mu Yunge meant, so, Zhang Ying smiled, "I can help you with this matter, although the imperial sister-in-law is gentle and generous, and has the majesty of the queen, she has a weakness, that is, jealousy." Li Yan's mind has long been revealed now, if I fan the flames in front of the imperial sister-in-law, today's palace banquet will be much more interesting. ”

"What do you mean......"

"The ladies of the palace banquet are naturally together, and there are no men here, even if Miss Li lifts the veil, what does it matter?"

Zhang Ying's words seemed to make a lot of sense, but Mu Yunge was worried, "But if the queen mother knows that you are using her, then she will ......."

Mu Yunge didn't dare to think that if Zhang Ying was affected by this temptation, it would be more than worth the loss.

Knowing that Mu Yunge was really worried about herself, the smile on Zhang Ying's face deepened, "Don't worry, the imperial sister-in-law has long wanted to meet this Li Yuanai for a while, but she has never found a reason or excuse, and now I will give her such an opportunity." You go to the main hall to meet the other ladies first, and I will go to the imperial sister-in-law myself." ”

"Okay."

Coming to the main hall of the female dependents, Qi Mei saw Mu Yunge, and walked quickly to Mu Yunge, "I heard that you just went to see the eldest princess?" ”

"Hmm." Sitting next to Qi Mei, Mu Yunge looked calm, Qi Mei whispered to Mu Yunge's ear, "Yunge, my brother's matter ......"

Considering that this was in the palace, Qi Mei naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense, she was mainly not worried about anything else, just afraid that if someone heard something, it would be a thing that outweighed the loss.

Understanding what Qi Mei meant, Mu Yunge smiled, "This matter can't be mentioned on the agenda for the time being, but you don't have to worry, there is still a chance to come." ”

In this environment, Mu Yunge couldn't say it too bluntly, so she had to be tactful, as long as Qi Mei understood her intentions, it would be enough.

The Zhou family not far away is with the Gao family and the Zhao family, and their husbands are all officials, but there are many rules at the palace banquet, and their identities naturally have no way to sit with Mu Yunge and Qi Mei.

Zhou looked in the direction of Mu Yunge, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help muttering, "I really envy the fourth brother and sister, I can have such a good relationship with Zuo Xiang's daughter, we people will never be able to get on the stage." ”

Hearing this, Zhao just glanced at Zhou lightly, and kindly reminded her, "Today is the palace banquet, if some words are heard by someone at the palace banquet, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

The moment she looked at Zhao, Zhou also knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "I'm such a small person, is it possible that someone will still hold on to my affairs?" Joke? ”

Zhou is so not afraid of heaven and earth, as the so-called ignorant is not guilty.

Facing Zhou's appearance, Zhao and Gao glanced at each other, and neither of them wanted to see Zhou's in general. They just prayed in their hearts that if the Zhou family offended someone today, they would definitely hide far away and save them from being affected.

Soon, the Empress Dowager and the Empress appeared in front of the female relatives with the eldest princess, and the female relatives saluted one after another, and the Empress Dowager looked around and said softly, "Get up, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, you don't have to be so restrained." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

After everyone sat down, Mu Yunge realized that sitting opposite her was Li Yuanai and another noble lady.

The moment he looked at Li Yuanai, Mu Yunge just smiled politely back, Li Yuanai also had crooked eyebrows, although he couldn't see her smile, the politeness exuded by the whole person was still obvious.

Mu Yunge quietly ate the food at the table without words.

After a while, the queen suddenly spoke, "I heard that Miss Li, the daughter of the right minister, also came to the palace banquet today. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes looked at Li Yuanai.

Feeling the gaze of everyone towards her, Li Yuanai looked calm and composed, she slowly got up and saluted the queen.
