Chapter 6: Entering the Palace
Three days later, in the morning, Mu Yunlan was dug out of the bed by the brocade kite.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Mu Yunlan looked at the busy Jin Kite with a depressed face, and his lips opened lightly: "Ah Jin, what are you doing when you call me up so early?"
After saying that, I fell asleep at the end.
"Oh, princess, you are going to enter the palace today, just now the prince sent someone to send your palace clothes, and asked me to help you try to see if it is suitable, if it is not suitable, I am asking someone to change it!" grabbed Mu Yunlan's hand covering the quilt, and Jin Kite hurriedly said.
"When is this coming, just talk about the clothes, throw them back, don't try!" It's better to sleep or something, it's only time now.
In the tangled gaze of Jin Kite, Mu Yunlan directly began to sleep with his head covered.
In the end, it was Jin Kite who checked the purple, noble and elegant palace dress through years of experience.
After putting away the clothes, Jin Kite left the room, and muttered while tidying up the yard: "I don't know who made the clothes, they are so beautiful, and the size is completely correct." ”
"The clothes are from Yunjinfang, and the size is what the prince told them. ”
A cold voice came from behind the brocade kite, and she was so frightened that she swung the broom in her hand towards the place where the sound came from.
Ah Li grabbed the broom that he waved, looked at the huge west courtyard, and asked, "Is there no one in the west courtyard?" Why are you cleaning the courtyard?"
After seeing that the person who came was Ah Li, Jin Kite breathed a sigh of relief.
"When I came from Yunshu Kingdom, there were only me and Miss, and the rest were all people sent by the emperor. Therefore, after the young lady married into the Xuan Wangfu, I was the only one by her side. And the grandmother sent by the prince, because she was old, I only let her work in the small kitchen, so the rest of the work was naturally done by me. But why are you here?"
Is it surveillance? Why hasn't it been discovered before?
"It was the prince who sent me over to see if the princess's clothes were suitable, and since they were suitable, I would leave. When I went back, I asked the housekeeper to send a few people to the West Courtyard. After saying that, he left without looking back.
Jin Kite looked at Ah Li, who had already walked away, with an inexplicable expression, and finally just shook her head and continued to sweep her ground.
After sleeping until noon, after washing, Mu Yunlan looked at the busy Jin Kite and raised his eyebrows, this child is good at everything, the only drawback is that he is too diligent. In such a large yard, in her opinion, it is at most once a week, but the brocade kite actually sweeps every day.
Since marrying into the palace, no matter how much food and clothing are used up, they are much better than before, but Jin Kite has not changed his habits over the years because of these.
In the palace, as long as Nangong Yujue thought of tonight's palace banquet, she couldn't suppress a burst of excitement.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Ci'an Palace, and the Queen Mother will also attend tonight's palace banquet. Father-in-law De told Nangong Yujue the latest news and retreated.
But as soon as she heard that the Queen Mother was also coming to participate in this palace banquet, Nangong Yujue immediately calmed down.
Although he has always humiliated Chu Qian, he also knows how high Chu Qian's prestige is in the hearts of the people. At that time, when Mu Yunlan's stupid girl was given to Chu Qian, the Queen Mother didn't say anything, and when he spread those rumors, the Queen Mother still didn't say anything. So he became a little smug, and it wasn't until just now, after hearing Defoe's words, that he realized that some things, if done too much, would often backfire.
And the Queen Mother wants to attend tonight's palace banquet, just to remind him. Moreover, in the past few years, because of his reasons, Chu Qian has hidden his edge, but he is still afraid, afraid of hearing such words at that time.
Closing his eyes, Nangong Yujue got up and walked towards Fengqi Palace, tonight's palace banquet was organized by the queen, I hope nothing will go wrong. Being able to sit on this throne can also allow the Queen Mother to completely delegate power to him, at least to prove that he is not stupid.
With the help of Jin Kite, Mu Yunlan finally finished putting on the palace costume, although Chu Qian had simplified this outfit as much as possible, but after all, it was a palace costume, and in the end, it was still a little cumbersome.
Tied up Mu Yunlan's knee-length hair, and put on the leather mask given by Chu Qian, although it was a small jasper, but it was still enhanced by the purple, noble but elegant palace clothes.
Of course, these temperaments can only be reflected under the premise that Mu Yunlan does not pretend to be crazy and stupid.
When Chu Qian came to the West Courtyard, he saw such a picture. A girl from a small jasper-like family, very happy because of a beautiful dress. imagined that if Mu Yunlan didn't wear this mask at this time, I don't know how many eyes he would attract.
"Brother Fairy, this dress is so beautiful, Ah Jin said that you gave it to me, is it really? Really?" Even if he had a mask, he still couldn't hide Mu Yunlan's clear eyes, and looked at Mu Yunlan, who was chattering around him like a little sparrow happily at this time, Chu Qian suddenly regretted it, knowing that he didn't want to make this dress look so good.
"Ah Jin is right, I gave this dress to Yun'er, if Yun'er likes it, then don't call me Brother Fairy. ”
Tilting his little head, Mu Yunlan looked at Chu Qian with an expression that I didn't understand what you were talking about, and asked suspiciously: "If you don't call it a fairy brother, what do you want to call it?"
"Yun'er wants to call me husband, otherwise there will be no such beautiful clothes."
Seeing Chu Qian coaxing her to call him husband like a child, Mu Yunlan complained in her heart: "Chu Qian, you are sick, how can anyone coax a fool to call him husband like you! Or do you have a love for fools and like fools? Then I don't pretend to be stupid, okay!"
In the end, under the strange atmosphere of Ah Li telling Jin Kite some precautions, Mu Yunlan eavesdropping while pretending to be stupid, and Chu Qian reading a book while watching Mu Yunlan, they set off towards the palace.
Because in recent days, various rumors about the Xuan Wangfu have spread throughout the capital, so when the carriage of the Xuanwang Mansion passes by, people will stop and talk about it for a long time. When Ah Li was sitting outside the carriage, Jin Kite was a little indignant at first when he heard these rumors, but when he saw that Ah Li and Chu Qian in the carriage did not make any moves, he finally chose to remain silent.
As the protagonist of tonight's palace banquet, Chu Qian naturally would not be late, so when they came to the outside of the palace, there were not many carriages parked at the palace gate.
This is Mu Yunlan's first time coming to the palace, and in her previous life, she didn't see the palace. The palace in front of him, although it is also very domineering and solemn, is far inferior to the Forbidden City compared to the Forbidden City in the previous life.
Maybe it's because of the times, but when you see a building like this, shouldn't you pretend to be stupid?
So, the star eyes, and saliva were all used by Mu Yunlan.
"Wow, Brother Fairy, this is so big! Is the place you said this is it?"
Ignoring his image at all, Mu Yunlan hugged Chu Qian's arm and secretly wiped his saliva by the way.
Patting Mu Yunlan's little head, Chu Qian took Mu Yunlan and walked towards the palace gate.
Looking at her young lady's unreliable appearance, Jin Kite poked Ah Li on the side and asked, "You say, is it okay for the princess to look like this?" ”
Without looking back, Ah Li spit out three words, "There is a prince".
Chu Qian naturally took Mu Yunlan's little hand, and while introducing her to various places in the palace, he paid attention to the movements around her.
And Mu Yunlan thought, if you can calm down, it is better not to have any Chu Qian's admirers.
However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and by coincidence, they met a group of people.
"Hey, isn't that King Xuan, the one next to him is Princess Xuan, let's go over and say hello!" A voice like a duck's throat came into Mu Yunlan's ears.
Silently rolled his eyes in his heart, Mu Yunlan knew that trouble was coming.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but now that I look at it, King Xuan is more energetic than before. I heard that there have been some chickens and dogs jumping and haunting in the middle of the night in King Xuan's Mansion recently, I wonder if King Xuan is also full of energy? Or is it because he has a wife?"
It's still the male duck's voice, but there is some banter and provocation in his tone, which is very uncomfortable to listen to.
After blocking Mu Yunlan, who was standing beside him and looking around, without leaving a trace, Chu Qian didn't look at the person who spoke, but replied calmly: "There is Lao An's son who cares, how about this king, it is not the turn of others to care." However, I heard that the prince recently married a concubine, and she is still one of the four beauties of Yuxianglou. This money must be a lot of money to redeem himself, and I don't know if Old Marquis An has been in good health recently!"
After speaking, he took Mu Yunlan and continued to think about the banquet location. As for the people behind him, Chu Qian didn't have the time to pay attention to it, and there was a curious baby around him who needed to be taken care of, where would he have time to take care of others. Besides, it's just the son of An Pinghou.
Looking at Chu Qian, who had already walked away, An Zichang could only hate itchy, but he couldn't do anything.
He was just a nominal prince who had nothing, but Chu Qian was a veritable prince.
And the group of people behind An Zichang, looking at him who was deflated, all secretly held back laughter and blushed.
This is the first time Mu Yunlan has seen Chu Qian talk like this, usually in the Xuan Palace, he is at most talking to his subordinates and her, and sometimes it is normal not to speak for a day. But the dark tone just now, the completely speechless disregard, Mu Yunlan really saw it for the first time.
This is completely different from the Chu Qian she usually sees, hey, Uncle Chu, what kind of person are you?
Just when Mu Yunlan was looking at Chu Qian, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, it was a resentful gaze, no matter how Mu Yunlan ignored it, he couldn't ignore that gaze.
The whole scalp was numb, Mu Yunlan decided to turn around to see who was looking at him like this, but when he turned around, there was nothing.
