Chapter 124: Acacia Begins to Feel the Depth of the Sea (1)
Liuli Pavilion is a place where the women of the whole imperial city want to have a good time, warm spring stays in the palace all the year round, the number of times a year can be counted with a finger, this time you must go in to have a good look, although it is said that you can only wear palace clothes in the palace, but buy a few beautiful clothes to go back and see it.
Here, Du Yueyan asked several passers-by before finding Mu Mansion and knocking on the door.
A young man in a coarse cloth shirt opened the door, "This young master, do you have anything to do?" ”
It turned out that Du Yueyan had already torn off the human skin mask and changed into a man's costume.
Du Yueyan explained her intention and identity, and the little maid took her to the lobby to wait, and hurriedly went to find Mu Shengbai.
Mu Shengbai was dressed in white, with a graceful bearing, and when he saw the eyes of the people in the hall, he hurriedly walked in, "Wei Yi, why are you here?" ”
Probably because she knew her true feelings for Mu Shengbai, seeing him, Du Yueyan actually rarely rose up shy, afraid that Mu Shengbai would find out, she walked over with her head down, and said in a low voice: "I know from the prince that you are going to Dongling City to control the flood in the near future, so I came to take a look, thinking that I wish you a smooth journey." ”
Mu Shengbai laughed loudly, his eyes sparkling with stars, "Present your auspicious words." ”
Du Yueyan's heart throbbed more and more intensely, as if she was carrying a deer that had been jumping around, so she felt that it was a little difficult to even breathe, and she mustered up the courage to look up at him, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, it was an extremely good-looking and harmless appearance, which made people can't help but be happy when they saw it, it was this face that made her lose a heart.
"Wei Yi, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red? Mu Shengbai looked at Du Yueyan strangely with a few shades of red on both sides of her cheeks, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead, worried: "Isn't it a fever?" ”
Du Yueyan shook off Mu Shengbai's hand like an electric shock, hurriedly took a few steps back, her face turned even redder, and she stammered, "I'm fine, but I'm just a little distracted." ”
She suddenly asked: "Sheng Bai, if you go to Dongling City, my sister-in-law will not be very worried when she first comes to the Imperial City." ”
"Sister-in-law?" Mu Shengbai looked confused, "I don't really understand what Wei Yi means?" ”
Du Yueyan pretended to be relaxed, but her heart was already hanging high, "Didn't Sheng Bai just bring his sister-in-law to the imperial city some time ago?" ”
Mu Shengbai pursed his lips, and then laughed uncontrollably, the young man's hearty laughter echoed in the lobby, and he stopped laughing for a while before wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then he said: "Wei Yi, who did you listen to, I don't even have a favorite woman now, how can I have a wife." ”
Du Yueyan almost didn't scream, if she wasn't even dressed as a man now, I'm afraid she would still have to ask Mu Shengbai how she felt about herself, she has always been a person who dares to love and hate.
Finally calming down her excitement a little, she faked coughing a few times, "Then clear them?" ”
Mu Shengbai's face was full of tenderness, and his eyes were full of Qingbo, "I picked up these three children, but in my heart they are no different from my own children." ”
Du Yueyan nodded, thinking secretly in her heart: I will treat them like my own in the future.
She felt ashamed of her bold idea, and soon returned to the way she was, and the two talked about some other things, Mu Shengbai told her about the long history of the Western Regions that she had seen in Wanshuge in the past few days, and Du Yueyan was quickly brought into the fantasy history of the Western Regions by Mu Shengbai's vivid narration.
Until the sun set, Mu Shengbai wanted to stay with her to share dinner, Du Yueyan was surprised, but as soon as she wanted to agree, she thought of the warm spring that was still waiting for her in Liuli Pavilion, and if she stayed here and returned to the palace after dinner, she was afraid that something big would happen.
In the end, she reluctantly refused, and Mu Shengbai didn't force it, and personally sent her out.
As soon as Du Yueyan went out, she went directly to Liuli Pavilion, Nuan Chun was fascinated by those colorful clothes, if Du Yueyan hadn't come to her, she was afraid she wouldn't know the time.
Changing into the storyteller's human skin mask, Du Yueyan blended in without a doubt under the leadership of Nuan Chun, and in order not to arouse suspicion, she left the female storyteller in Wutong Palace for one night.
After dinner, Du Yueyan didn't want to go back to the dormitory, so she sat by the lotus pond to admire the moon, and Nuan Chun and March carried a lantern in their hands.
She was bored, and shouted into the air, and a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind her, "Eleven." ”
All three were accustomed to Eleven's elusiveness, and they weren't surprised.
"Eleven, what do you think of Mu Shengbai?"
Eleven was silent for a long time, and Du Yueyan almost thought that he wouldn't answer, after all, this was a person like wood.
"Master Mu is young and promising, pure and brave, and his subordinates feel that he is a candidate to consider." The man's muffled voice rang out.
Du Yueyan was blushing again by his words, but he really said his true thoughts and recruited Mu Shengbai to be a colt...... That's a great idea!
But if he knew who he really was, he wouldn't be angry with him, or he wouldn't like him at all, he just regarded himself as a friend.
The more Du Yueyan thought about it, the more sad she became, and the lotus pond suddenly fell silent, and she could only hear a small and unknown sound coming from somewhere.
Mu Shengbai bought several shops earlier and let the shopkeepers from Jinling City manage them separately, although there was no big movement in the imperial city, but it was considered a normal development.
The night before he was about to leave, Mu Shengbai sorted out the account books and instructed them to send a letter to Mu Shengyun if they had anything more important, after all, the place he was going to was the southernmost part of Kunguo, and the distance was more than five times farther than going to Jinling City.
But as soon as the shopkeepers on the front foot left, someone suddenly appeared in his study, and before he could ask anything, the man showed the emperor's token and said, "Lord Mu, the emperor has summoned you to the palace to discuss something." ”
How could the emperor look for him?
Mu Shengbai was very surprised, he had almost no contact with the emperor, and he was usually found by Du Weizhen.
But no matter what he thought in his heart, the token was still very representative of something, he didn't dare to delay, changed into formal clothes and went out with the mysterious person.
I came to the imperial study all the way unimpeded, and after entering, I found that Emperor Jing Yuan and Du Weizhen were inside.
Mu Shengbai saluted the two first, "I don't know what the emperor has to say to the grass people?" ”
"Shengbai doesn't need to be too restrained, I also have some friendship with Mr. Changfeng." Emperor Jing Yuan behaved very kindly, and also rewarded Mu Shengbai with a seat.
"I asked you to come here this time to discuss with you about going to Dongling City to control the flood."
