It is said that April 15 is a good day, Mu Hongshang doesn't know if it's a good day, she only knows that this day is the Mangzhong Festival.

The queen chose the day of the festival and invited their family into the palace to seal her aunts and sisters-in-law.

Four years ago, on the day of Mangzhong, my father and my mother took her and my second brother to the Pingyang Princess Mansion for a banquet, Sister Xie fell into the water in the Pingyang Princess Mansion, she reached out to fish, frightened the mother, and the mother hit her arm in public and reprimanded her.

At that time, she cried aggrievedly, and it was her sister-in-law, who was not married at that time, who comforted her.

At that time, Brother Tieyi was still in Beijing, and when he saw her tear-stained face, he laughed at her for being a little flower cat.

At that time, my father was also in Beijing, and my father said that she was wrong, which made my mother worry and fear, and she deserved to be beaten.

She still remembers that she was very unconvinced at the time, complaining about her father's injustice. Daddy seemed to laugh and said that it was useless to be fair to him, because no matter what, he had to go to his mother.

Four years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Brother Tie Yi went to the north, and he hasn't come back yet. The eldest brother came back and left again, so did the third uncle, the fourth uncle never came back, and then even the father and the fourth brother left.

The one who went the farthest was the second uncle, who was forever separated, and he would never be able to go home again.

On this day, Mu Hongshang was dressed relatively plainly. She often wears bright red clothes, and on this day she wore a moon-white Song brocade skirt for the first time, rolling the wide edge of the brocade with lake green and gold, looking from a distance, the deep and shallow blue shadows, with a golden shimmer between gestures, very refreshing and beautiful.

This skirt was made for her by Gu Yilan after spending a few days of hard work.

The Mu family does not abide by the rules of filial piety, and even if it is an ordinary family, they are not allowed to wear filial piety into the palace, these Mu Hongshang knows. But somehow, after she heard that the queen mother was going to personally hold a sealing ceremony for her uncles and sisters-in-law, she suddenly felt a little rebellious in her heart, that is, she was unwilling to dress up and enter the palace.

The top and bottom of the Mu family actually understood Mu Hongsheng's mood very well, and the joke-like courtesy before was already uncomfortable enough. But most of the skirts that Mu Hongshang wears at home these days are white or frost-colored, and it is obviously too inappropriate to wear them into the palace, so Gu Yilan asked Duchess Anguo for the key to the treasury, and spent half a day turning out a moon-white Song brocade and a brocade with lake green and gold, and hurriedly made a new dress for Mu Hongsheng.

The gold-filled brocade looks gorgeous enough, and the color of the moon-white Song brocade is refreshing and elegant, which is exactly the color that the ladies of Beijing wear in the spring and summer. Wearing such clothes to enter the palace, even if it is the queen's mother, she can't find much fault.

But Mu Hongsheng was willing to follow them into the palace together, it was already very good, Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi had a fight in the Mu family's small teaching field on the first day, they were in a hurry, they were too heavy, they were both injured, and they were now lying on the bed to "recuperate".

Mu Hongshang actually wanted to fight with Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi, but she wanted to take the opportunity to enter the palace to meet Xie Shurou and accompany Gu Yilan. E-Book Workshop

On this day, Mrs. Mu did not deliberately gamble like the little girl in the red dress, they were all dressed normally, completely in accordance with the rules of entering the palace, how bright and how to come. Those who have sealed their bodies are wearing big makeup, wearing gorgeous phoenix crowns, and Gu Yilan, who has not yet been sealed, is also wearing very bright, wearing a colorful fairy skirt, which makes her as gorgeous as a delicate flower.

Queen Wei in the palace actually didn't see Mu Hongshang a few times a year, so she didn't find anything wrong with Mu Hongsheng's blue, blue, green and green skirt at all. She even thinks that in spring and summer, young girls look better when they dress freshly.

But Princess Pingyang, who was invited to watch the ceremony, obviously noticed Mu Hongsheng's unusual clothes. She looked at Mu Hongshang carefully, and then raised her eyes to look at Empress Wei, who was sitting in the main hall of Yuyang Palace, full of spring breeze, a hint of mockery and helplessness flashed in her eyes, and then she shook her head almost invisibly.

Xie Shurou, who entered the palace with her grandmother, also noticed Mu Hongsheng's moon-white dress, of course she knew that Mu Hongsheng was doing it on purpose. When this little girl visited their Xie family a few days ago, she was dressed more brightly than today.

Xie Shurou looked at Mu Hongshang in the distance with a worried face, eager to find a chance to talk to her and comfort her friend. But it's a pity that the queen made this sealing ceremony really boring and long, and it took an hour to give up.

There was still some time after the ceremony, and the queen sat for an hour, so she got up to change her clothes and prepare for the next feast. At this time, Xie Shurou immediately seized the opportunity to apply to Mrs. Xie and said, "Grandmother, granddaughter wants to go and say a few words to Sister Mu." ”

Mrs. Xie looked at Mu Hongsheng, who was greeting Duchess Anguo and Prince Li, and turned her head to look at Gu Yilan, who was talking to Mrs. Gu and Grandma Gu, nodded and replied, "You go." I also remember to say congratulations to Grandma Mu. Before she left the cabinet, she and you were good friends, and now they don't have to be separated. ”

"Granddaughter knows." Xie Shurou nodded hurriedly, as long as Mrs. Xie could let her go to find Mu Hongsheng, she would agree to anything.

Mrs. Xie nodded reassuringly, turned around and went to talk to Mrs. Wang of the in-laws again, while Xie Shurou walked through the crowd in the direction of Mu Hongsheng.

However, at this moment, Gu Yilan, who was talking to her mother and grandmother, suddenly glanced back at Xie Shurou, her expression was unusual, and she even nodded and smiled at Xie Shurou very politely, as if greeting from afar.

However, it was such a polite and normal performance that made Xie Shurou feel a little weird. She and Gu Yilan are not friends, they are so far away, there is no need for this guy to say hello to her.

This normal and subtle polite smile made Xie Shurou pause, she glanced at Mu Hongsheng not far away, and finally turned her steps and leaned towards Gu Yilan first.

Seeing her coming, the smile on Gu Yilan's face suddenly became a little sincere, and she immediately said to Mrs. Gu and Grandma Gu San: "Grandmother, mother, Sister Xie is here." I haven't seen her for a long time, so I miss her, so I'm going to say hello first. ”

Mrs. Gu was present, of course Grandma Gu San didn't dare to rush to speak, but if she didn't speak, Gu Yilan knew what she was thinking. Grandma Gu San's eyes looked at Xie Shurou now, it was like seeing a baby. It's no wonder that Xie Shurou's father is now a household servant and Gu Sanye's top boss.

"There you go." Mrs. Gu was also in a very good mood, and nodded at Gu Yilan with a smile: "It's hard for you to go out after you get married, and it's hard to meet your former little sisters, of course you have to have a good chat." ”
