Chapter 2: Chang'an Palace
By the time the banquet was over, the palace had already passed the lock.
Mu Qing'an, as a birthday star, could not retire first, the queen felt tired halfway, and had already returned to the palace first, but the emperor accompanied him until the end of the banquet.
"The son sent his father back to the palace to rest?" Mu Qing'an asked.
The emperor looked at Mu Qing'an, and the lamp lit by the attendant shone on Mu Qing'an's face a little blurry, like that person.
He was a little distracted and muttered, "Yan'er." ”
Mu Qingxin tightened his heart and asked carefully, "Father, what did you say?" ”
"Nothing." The emperor came back to his senses in an instant.
"Father said that you can go back to the palace by yourself, it's getting late, you should be careful."
Then he turned to the attendants and said, "Be careful, and if you fall the princess, be careful of your head." ”
"Nuo" The attendants knelt down to answer, Mu Qing'an no longer insisted, saluted, and said, "Erchen retires." Then he got into the sedan chair.
The emperor looked at the direction Mu Qing'an was walking, and didn't turn back until he couldn't see it, "Li Degui." ”
"The minions are here!"
"That's it." The emperor looked at this old face and was a little stunned.
"You've been with me for more than thirty years!"
"The minion has been with you for thirty-five years." At this time, the emperor looked very old, but in fact, he was only thirty-seven.
"The slave has been serving you since you were two years old, even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, the slave understands, the slave believes, and the one who understands Your Majesty's hardships."
The emperor pondered for a while, and smiled a little bleakly, "Go to the queen tonight." ”
Li Degui shouted tremblingly: "Get up, Yongle Palace!" ”
Here, Mu Qing'an has also returned to Chang'an Palace, in addition to the Cixin Palace where the Queen Mother lives, the Longyou Palace where the Emperor lives, and the Yongle Palace where the Queen lives, only this Chang'an Palace is the largest. From a distance, you can see the brilliant lights of Chang'an Palace, and the glazed tiles reflect colorful light under the lighting of the palace.
"In this palace, only our Chang'an Palace is so dazzling! Just like our princess, she is the most dazzling existence in this palace. Jin Su said with a smile and flattery.
Su Bi'an didn't speak, and Jinxiu interrupted Jinsu's words with a serious face.
"In this palace, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't make trouble for the princess."
"Princess~" Jin Su felt aggrieved.
"That's it, it's all at the door of your house, but Jinxiu's words are right, there are many people in the palace, don't say anything that shouldn't be said, let someone with a heart hear it, and the palace won't be able to protect you at that time." Mu Qingan squinted at Jin Su.
"The slave and maid understand." Jin Su was aggrieved, "I won't speak anymore." ”
Jin Suzhen was wronged and falsely wronged, but Mu Qingan didn't care.
The master and servant entered the palace in silence.
What catches the eye is a large area of crimson flowers on the other side, which looks like a sea of blood under the illumination of the light, and only a one-zhang wide road is left in the middle for people to walk.
"I've seen the princess, and the princess is happy." All the attendants of the temple came out to greet them.
"No courtesy, Jinxiu and Jinsu stay and serve, and the rest of the people go back to rest." Mu Qing'an was a little tired, "Go back to the dormitory." ”
"No."
"The slave waits for the princess to bathe." Jinxiu said softly.
"Hmm." Mu Qing'an yawned, walked into the bath, closed his eyes and squinted, Jinxiu placed the night pearl sent by Xing Shangshu on the edge of the bath, Jinxiu muttered: "This bead is still somewhat useful." ”
"The emperor is really good to the princess, the water in this bath is brought from Qiongchi, and there is not even the queen's mother! Moreover, today's birthday banquet is really grand, even the full moon banquet of the eldest prince is not so luxurious, not to mention that it is personally organized by the Ministry of Rites in the Hall of Bliss, it is really a great honor! Jin Su said to himself here, and suddenly found that the two of them ignored him, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
"Actually, more than once." Mu Qingan lowered his head and muttered to himself, a sarcastic smile raised at the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, Mu Qing'an opened his eyes and said, "You all go down, you don't have to wait." ”
"Princess, did the slave make you angry, slave ......"
"Get out!" Mu Qing'an rubbed his temples and said sharply, "No" Jinxiu responded and dragged Jinsu away.
After the two of them are gone.
"Come out, the dignified prince of the Purple Soul Kingdom has also become a gentleman on the beam." Mu Qing'an's eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Alas, who let this beam be your beam, Xiao An'er, I specially gave you a birthday gift, you treat me like this, it really makes me sad." Yuan Qi can't be serious every time he comes.
"Yuan Qi, don't say such a fake thing, why are you here!" Mu Qing'an looked indifferent.
"Of course, it's to watch Xiao An'er take a bath!"
"Get out!" As soon as the words fell, Mu Qing'an luckily hit the night pearl illuminated on the bath to Yuan Qi.
"Oops, it hurts in my body and in your heart." Yuan Qi dodged, reached out and grabbed the night pearl.
"The dignified prince is actually a disciple, and when he spreads it, it makes the world laugh." Mu Qing'an snorted coldly, and had already put on his clothes while Yuan Qi was dodging.
"It's better to spread it out, so that the world knows that Xiao An'er has been looked down on by me! Then you can only marry me. ”
With that, he put his face up.
Mu Qingan pushed Yuan Qi away and leaned on the soft couch, "Tell me, what's going on." Mu Qingan said speechlessly.
"It's really a birthday gift for you." As he spoke, he walked up to Mu Qing'an and half-squatted down, "Stretch out your hand." ”
Looking at Yuan Qi's serious face, Mu Qing'an was rarely obedient, only to see Yuan Qi take out a small box from his arms, Yuan Qi opened the box, and a string of white beads in the box lingered with a light purple light, and a careful observation showed that the bracelet was composed of eleven small beads, all round and delicate, and generally large.
Yuan Qi carefully put the bead string on Mu Qing'an's hand, "It's just right!" It seems that providence is so. Look at it, how pretty. Yuan Qi was serious for a while, and then returned to his cynical appearance.
"It's pretty good, huh." Mu Qingan raised his eyebrows: "There seems to be a purple-eyed white tiger in each of these beads." Mu Qing'an looked at Yuan Qi, "As far as this palace knows, the Purple Soul Kingdom worships the White Tiger, especially the Purple Eyes. What do you mean by sending this thing to Hongu? ”
After that, the bracelet will be removed, but the development will not fade no matter what.
Looking at Mu Qing'an's movements, Yuan Qi didn't stop him, "Hmph, how can you easily return the things that Prince Ben sent." ”
"You!" Mu Qing'an looked angry.
"Xiao An'er, it's not completely impossible, as long as you and I get married, um~ you can take it off."
"You, shameless." Mu Qing'an's face suddenly turned red.
"Haha, Xiao An'er, where do you want to go, I mean, if you and I get married, I will find a way to take it off for you."
"Hmph. Saying that you are a disciple of Deng, you have wronged a disciple. Mu Qing'an didn't look at him anymore.
"Okay, in fact, there is a meaning to give you this string of beads."
"What the implication." Mu Qing'an was a little curious.
"Forget it." Yuan Qi seemed to suddenly think of something, "On the day when you arrive, if I can still come to celebrate your birthday, I will tell you at that time." ”
"What do you mean? Are you leaving? Where to go? Mu Qing'an was suddenly a little flustered, but his face was as cold as usual.
"It's time for Prince Ben to return to China."
Yuan Qi suddenly got up and touched Mu Qingan's head, at this time Mu Qingan had no intention of paying attention to this, "You're going to return to China!" ”
"Hmm. How, reluctantly. ”
"How come, I can't ask for you to go." Mu Qingan raised the corners of his mouth.
"Woman, duplicity, I know."
After that, he kissed Mu Qing'an's forehead, reached out and took the jade pendant on Mu Qing'an's body, "This will be your return gift." After that, he turned around and left, but the back looked like he was running away.
