Jiang Wan listened to these words, didn't know whether to cry or laugh, touched her head and said, "The emperor will like you, but are you sure you want to sacrifice your life to get this false reputation?" ”

"What false reputation? The people in the harem are not a combination of glory and wealth, how can they understand my desperation to climb up, I only stand higher, and those gossips will not hurt me. Mu Yan covered his mouth bitterly.

Jiang Wan looked at her and thought of her former self, the summer after the college entrance examination, she pushed away her best friend and shouted: "What do you know? How can a princess like you understand my impotent anger? Time has passed, she saw her own shadow in Mu Yan, she obviously didn't want to say that at the time, what did she want at that time?

Jiang Wan slowly held Mu Yan in his arms, touched her head, sighed and said no more.

Mu Yan knew rationally that she should be miserable at this time, and she should pretend to be pitiful and let Jiang Wan agree to enter the palace by herself, but in the face of this embrace, she could only cry and hug Jiang Wan harder.

That scene appeared in front of Jiang Wan's eyes again: his best friend at the time stood up, his past feelings were sparse and turned to ashes, and he could only hear her say coldly: "Jiang Wan, why don't people like you die." It was he who hurt her first, and he had no regrets in retribution, but every time he dreamed back at midnight, he thought: how good it would be if she saw the inferiority complex in her eyes at that time, and how good it would be if she was desperate to give herself a hug at that time, so that she would not go astray.

Lu Zhixing looked at the two of them and frowned, Jiang Wan is the eldest lady who has lived a worry-free life since she was a child, and the biggest change in her life is that she was beaten into the cold palace by herself, how could she empathize with a concubine? Isn't Jiang Wan Jiang Wan? He shook his head and denied his thoughts, how could it be? Jiang Wan changed under his nose, and there is no one who can confuse the real with the fake.

After Mu Yan hugged his head and cried, he wiped his tears and looked at Jiang Wan and said embarrassedly: "Sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Jiang Wan waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, now tell me what your father asked you to do with me." ”

Mu Yan suddenly reacted, stuck out his tongue and said, "If my sister didn't say it, I would have forgotten it." Daddy asked me to tell you about the flower waiter's blessing. ”

"Flower Waiter Prayer?" Jiang Wan took a sip of tea and asked, "What's that?" ”

Mu Yan said with tea: "Legend has it that a long time ago, the daughter of the god and the mortal fell in love with the god and angered the god, the god sent a punishment, the drought here lasted for three years, the kind and beautiful spring god asked the god, the god said angrily You and this common life must die one, the god of spring sacrificed himself in exchange for our peace and tranquility." ”

Jiang Wan nodded, the mythological stories are basically the same, and there is nothing brilliant about this story, looking at Mu Yan with a look of adoration. Jiang Wan smiled and couldn't bear to interrupt.

Mu Yan continued: "In order to help the god of flowers reborn, every year the flower attendant must condense the beliefs of the world and use his body as a container to reincarnate the god of flowers. ”

Jiang Wan touched the teacup and asked, "Possessed, reborn?" ”

Mu Yan said with a smile: "Sister Jiang, don't worry, no one has been possessed after so many years, even if it is possessed by the flower god, it's fine, because the god can't stay in the world, so he just appears and disappears." ”

Jiang Wan continued: "What about after this link? ”

Mu Yan's eyes lit up and said: "Take flowers dipped in water to pray for everyone, and then I will eat flower cakes with everyone, last time I was late for peach blossoms and osmanthus, I don't know what I can eat this time." ”

Jiang Wan looked at her like a little gluttonous cat, and only felt cute and rubbed her head, but the malice exuded at that moment was still captured by Lu Zhixing, he frowned, what is this woman going to do?

Unconsciously, it was already close to noon, although Mu Yan wanted to stay and get closer to him, but he glanced at Lu Zhixing's black face, and said not to disturb his sister and brother-in-law's two-person world, and quickly ran away.

Jiang Wan poked Lu Zhixing and asked, "How does it feel to be remembered by a young girl?" ”

Lu Zhixing took her into his arms and said, "I still want to be remembered by you." ”

"Don't run away from the question, answer quickly." Jiang Wan pointed at him and ordered.

Lu Zhixing pondered and said: "I feel that it is ridiculous. ”

Jiang Wan was made to smile bitterly by this unexpected answer, "Normal people will feel happy, why do you think it's ridiculous?" ”

"She came in just to take advantage of my power and fame, not because she loved me. I've made it clear that I'm disgusted, and she's going to stick it up, and it's like I'm her prey. Lu Zhixing looked at Jiang Wan and said seriously.

Jiang Wan was silent after hearing this, the women in the harem are pitiful, why is the emperor not pitiful? The concubines in the harem use various means to climb up, and on the surface, they seem to be competing for favor, but in fact, they are just seeking power for themselves in the name of love.

"What do you think of Mu Yan?" Jiang Wan asked.

Lu Zhixing couldn't help but sarcastically: "You really like her, why do you like me so much?" ”

Jiang Wan raised his forehead and said, "Why do you want to eat a girl's vinegar?" ”

Lu Zhixing hugged her tightly and asked, "Why do you think she is so sticky to you?" ”

"Isn't it out of curiosity? And she doesn't mean to seduce you in her eyes, it's that you're too narcissistic. Jiang Wan asked.

Lu Zhixing really wanted to open her mind to see what was inside, wasn't she quite smart before? How can you be stupid when you get to this matter. "She wants to be your pawn and let you get a share of her in the harem competition."

Jiang Wan was stunned and said: "Impossible, you must be wrong, don't be too narcissistic." ”

Lu Zhixing let go of her, held the teacup and said, "Then you can watch it." ”

In the afternoon, Mu Rong came, still dressed in red, still with a cold expression. looked at the two of them and saluted without saying anything or humble: "The courtier Mu Rong sees the emperor, Niangniang." "The emperor wanted to crown Concubine Wan as the queen, but for some reasons Concubine Wan never agreed, so His Majesty ordered the rest of the people to only call her Niangniang, which seems to be married to the media. Mu Rong didn't want to comment on this lady, but she just had a slight impression of what happened before.

"Niangniang, I will carry out the preparations before the flower attendant's blessing." Mu Rong clapped her hands, and the maids behind her brought in some things one after another, and occupied them in front of Jiang Wan.

Mu Rong looked at Lu Zhixing and said: "Next, please ask the emperor to avoid it, this is a normal sacrificial activity, please don't disturb the emperor." ”

Lu Zhixing nodded and shouted to Jiang Wan: "Wanwan, if you have any discomfort, you must call me." ”

Ignoring the sacrifice for the sake of women, Mu Rong glanced at Lu Zhixing, is this still a Ming Jun praised by many people? People who only have love in their minds, how can they manage the world?

Jiang Wan wanted to make fun of her when she came in, but she felt a little embarrassed to see her so serious. "That, Mu Rong, what do you need to do today?"

Mu Rong performed the standard palace etiquette and said: "Back to Niangniang, just draw a picture on the back for Niangniang, Niangniang doesn't have to worry, as long as the painting disappears after seven days." ”

Jiang Wan looked at her and asked, "Why should I listen to you?" ”

Mu Rong held up the thing in her hand and said, "This is a normal sacrificial activity, and I ask Niangniang to cooperate." ”

Jiang Wan couldn't figure out whether Mu Rong's attitude towards him was good or bad for a while, but after all, it was about local customs, so it was better not to anger everyone. Jiang Wan nodded and lay on the bed.

Mu Rong picked up the paintbrush and began to paint, I don't know what ink to use, Jiang Wan only felt a burst of coolness, coupled with Mu Rong's massage with just the right strength, Jiang Wan squinted her eyes comfortably. In a daze, she heard Mu Rong say in her ear: "Don't touch Mu Yan." ”

Jiang Wan's mind immediately cleared up, and when she looked around, Mu Rong was still concentrating on painting as she had just now, and the maids around her kept handing things over, as if it was an illusion just now.

Mu Rong saw her move, thinking that she was tired of lying down and comforted: "Niangniang is patient, and it will be fine soon." ”

Jiang Wan was bored and asked, "Jiang Rong, what do you think of your sister?" ”

Mu Rong paused with her hand, and replied without any waves: "She deserves all the good things in this world." ”

Jiang Wan turned her back to her, she couldn't see her expression clearly, she only felt that this was very weird, she continued to ask, "Do you know that she hates you?" ”

"Yes." There was still no wavering sound, but Jiang Wan found that the maids around her were obviously flustered, and the two sisters were strange.

"Then do you know the reason why Mu Yan wants to be a concubine?" Jiang Wan continued to ask.

Mu Rong finished painting the peony, knelt down and said: "Niangniang, the courtiers have finished painting, if there is nothing else, the courtiers will retire." "Then he will take the maid out.

Jiang Wan showed his smooth back, and said indifferently: "Slow, you help me get a mirror and I'll take a look." ”

Mu Rong obeyed the order and helped Jiang Wan get a bronze mirror. A figure is faintly revealed in the mirror, the blood-red peony blooms on the white back, and the small green leaves are hidden under the flowers, which is extraordinary.

"Yes, yes, it's good-looking." Jiang Wan praised casually.

Mu Rong arched her hand expressionlessly and said, "It's good if Niangniang likes it." She got up and was about to say goodbye, but Jiang Wan grabbed her hand, "I don't know what else Niangniang commanded?" ”

Jiang Wan smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that you are extraordinary, and I want to talk to you, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Niangniang has tormented the courtiers, the courtiers are just an ordinary woman, how can they compare to the credit of the mother. Niangniang talked to the courtier, and the courtier was grateful. Mu Rong said humble words, but her body was straight, and there was not the slightest flattering look on her face.

Jiang Wan just thought that this person was very interesting, and her arrogance couldn't help but admire, she looked at Mu Rong with a face and said: "You don't have to be so polite, we came out this time to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but before it started, we were selected as a flower waiter, and I couldn't go out in your house, I was really bored." Jiang Wan put his hands on the bed to support his body, tilted his head back, and said helplessly.

Mu Rong immediately knelt down, bowed and said, "The courtiers are panicked, disturbing the interest of the mother, and I hope that the mother will forgive the sins." There was a commotion around him.

Lu Zhixing heard the sound and thought something was wrong, so he ran in and asked, "Wanwan, are you okay?" ”

Jiang Wan didn't care about him, he still looked at Mu Rong with interest in the posture just now and asked, "How do you want to forgive your sins?" ”
