On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Yunqi was invited to the Shengjing Palace to celebrate the New Year, and Mu Yunqi took Qiao Lu with her, and she trusted Qiao Lu more than Tianshan Xue.

The two of them changed into the clothes sent by the palace, and a group of women surrounded them with envy, "It's so beautiful, when will we be able to wear such beautiful clothes again." ”

"Yes, this padded dress can be made so beautifully."

Mu Yunqi smiled, most of these people were exiled by her husband's family, for those who were wronged such as the Yuan family, she could find a way to redress their grievances, but some of them were indeed guilty, and she would not tolerate such people, so she would not promise anything.

As soon as Mu Yunqi and Qiao Lu left the house, they felt that their faces were frozen, and Qiao Lu couldn't help complaining: "It's too cold." ”

Mu Yunqi replied with a stiff face: "It is said that the Chinese New Year is the coldest time. ”

Looking at the attendants who picked them up and jumped on the spot with their sleeves in their sleeves, stretched out their hands to cover their ears from time to time, and then quickly retracted again, freezing and beating but never stopped jumping, Mu Yunqi and Qiao Lu looked at him and covered their mouths and snickered.

Mu Yunqi and Qiao Lu came to the palace hall, King Shengjing was sitting on the main seat, and the other princes brought their princesses to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Mu Yunqi found that except for Tianfu who pays attention to male superiority and inferiority, women can not show their heads, in other countries and even this subordinate territory, women can be seen walking to the front, although here is still male supremacy, the constraints on women are not as strict as Tianfu.

The prince sits in the first position of King Shengjing, he didn't bring his own woman over today, whether it is a wife or a concubine, so who is the vacant seat next to him? Mu Yunqi felt his eyelids jump.

Mu Yun got up and went to the front and bowed with Tianfu's standard etiquette, while Qiao Lu behind her bowed, there was no way that this girl only recognized King Huarong as her master, and she would not kneel for others.

Although the old King Shengjing was a little displeased, he didn't attack when he looked at Mu Yunqi's identity as Princess Qin, but pointed to the position next to Ye Luzheng and asked her to sit down.

Mu Yunqi glanced at it and said, "That is the position of the princess, and the concubine does not dare to trespass." ”

Everyone present laughed except for Mu Yunqi and Qiao Lu, and Ye Luzheng got up and explained: "There is no princess in this world, and there is only this one position in this hall, does Princess Qin sit or not?" ”

Mu Yunqi smiled and said: "Even if the prince has no princess, there are many concubines, and the concubine doesn't want to make enemies in Shengjing, if there is no place for the concubine in the main hall, the concubine can celebrate the New Year with the concubines in the harem of Shengjing." ”

The old prince glanced at Yeluzheng, and as soon as Yeluzheng clapped his hands, an attendant immediately brought up a set of tables and chairs opposite Yeluzheng.

Mu Yunqi thanked her and took a seat, and Ye Luzheng sat opposite her and couldn't stop looking at her with a pair of peach blossom eyes. Mu Yunqi knew his thoughts, and toasted him with a glass of wine in the air, and Ye Luzheng immediately replied politely.

Qiao Lu whispered to Mu Yunqi on the side: "Princess, he obviously has bad intentions towards you, why do you still toast him." ”

Mu Yunqi whispered to her: "We don't have to give face to other people's territory when we are active, and you also saw it just now, even the old prince listens to this guy, and I am looking at which of those princes is not older than him, it can be seen that this guy is not bad, so it is better to deal with it carefully." ”

After hearing this, Qiao Lu nodded and said, "Princess, I understand, I will be humble and polite when I see him in the future." ”

Mu Yunqi smiled approvingly.

This smile was captured by the person opposite, although he knew that she was beautiful, but he didn't expect to smile even more beautifully.

At this time, after three rounds of drinking, the old prince was a little smoky, looked at Mu Yunqi and asked, "Why is the princess called a demon and exiled to my Shengjing realm?" ”

Mu Yunqi got up and replied respectfully: "The little girl is not talented, and she gave birth to a child with pointed ears for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, so Your Majesty thinks that I am a demon girl to give birth to such a child." ”

When the old prince heard this, his expression was a little unnatural and he looked at Ye Luzheng, Mu Yunqi was a little puzzled when he saw the old prince's face change, Ye Luzheng didn't mind and explained: "The princess knows that these pointed ears are related to the Situ family. ”

"Oh! What does the prince mean by this? Mu Yunqi never thought that Situ Leiming's pointed ears did not appear for no reason.

Ye Luzheng glanced at the old prince, although the old prince shook his head at him, Ye Luzheng still said: "Situ Botian, the founding emperor of the Situ family, has a pair of pointed ears. ”

Mu Yunqi frowned instantly when he heard this, "What, the head of the Situ family is pointy-eared, why is there no record in the history books?" How do you know? ”

After Ye Luzheng finished speaking, the old prince helplessly supported his forehead, it seems that the old prince really has no way to take this son.

Ye Luzheng covered his mouth and snickered, but he didn't give Mu Yunqi a clear answer, and Mu Yunqi was no longer interested in the follow-up program of the dinner.

At this time, Situ Jing, who was far away in the capital, took the child alone for the New Year, the little guy experienced the first New Year in his life, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet originally set up in the palace, he did not go, the emperor ordered to invite, but he said that he was sick and afraid of infection in the palace, the emperor knew that he had a grudge in his heart, and there was some fear in the heart of this son emperor, he now holds military power in his hands, controls the six cities of the Western Regions, and is no longer the impulsive and reckless teenager who did not understand anything before, he has been tempered by these years with wisdom and courage, and has a lot of secrets, Let him, a father, sit on pins and needles. The emperor knew that he would not come, because King Rui and Princess Rui had arrived, so he must have personally watched Situ Leiming, he knew that the emperor wanted his son's life, so he was on guard.

Situ Lei stood in the courtyard holding Situ Leiming, who was dressed like a ball, looking at the crescent moon hanging high in the sky and said: "Tonight Chinese New Year's Eve, the coldest time in the northeast I don't know how your mother concubine is, have you eaten dumplings tonight, did you tell your mother concubine that you eat dumplings?" ”

Situ Leiming listened to Situ Jing's chatter, and pointed to the moon with his little finger, Situ Ying asked with a smile: "Do you mean that your mother is on the moon?" ”

"She's not there, she's on the other side of the moon, she's watching us."

Situ Leiming soon fell asleep from exhaustion, Situ Jing put him into the small bed steadily, and he also lay on the bed thinking about every bit of being with Mu Yunqi.

And Mu Yunqi finally stayed up until the end of the dinner was already past midnight, and the old prince said: "The princess's residence has been arranged by the king, so let's stay tonight!" ”

Mu Yunqi looked at the sky outside, it was already snowing, and he couldn't go back if he wanted to, so he could only follow the arrangement. But she was still thinking about what Ye Luzheng said, and after the old prince left, Mu Yunqi anxiously grabbed Ye Luzheng and asked, "Is there any evidence for what you said?" ”

Yeluzheng yawned loudly and said, "It's not early, the princess should rest early, and there are still many things to do tomorrow." ”

"But you ......"

"But what am I, this son has no strength, if the princess has the strength, she will wait until tomorrow!"

Mu Yunqi was angry when he looked at Ye Luzheng's poor back, but when he was under the eaves, he had to bow his head, so he could only rest with the maid, "When I am rested, see how I clean you up." ”
