I don't know if Xie Shurou's bread really suits Mrs. Mu's appetite, or if Mrs. Mu wants to make her granddaughter happy, in short, on this day, Mrs. Mu really ate a lot of breakfast, not at all like her poor appetite a few days ago.

Seeing that Old Madam Mu's appetite was better, Mu Hongshang finally relieved herself. Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi were also very clever, and they deliberately performed a jealousy and bread grabbing in front of Mrs. Mu, which actually made Mrs. Mu laugh.

It's been a long time since I've seen my grandmother laugh like this, Mu Lingyi and her younger siblings couldn't help but feel a little sad while being relieved.

After breakfast, the second lady Mu who was already dressed came over, she was going to accompany Mrs. Mu into the palace today, so she was wearing the phoenix crown and xia veil of the second grade, and the second lady Mu carefully covered her face with powder and rouge, but it covered her poor face, but the heavy phoenix crown and the heavy and luxurious dress Xia Wei made her even more skeletal.

Mu Hongsheng asked Mr. Chen for a leave, and instead of going to study with Ling Yi and Jinyi, she got up early and stayed in Mrs. Mu's room and watched her put on makeup. You can't lose your manners in front of the Son of Heaven, so Mrs. Mu is also like Second Mrs. Mu, and she carefully puts on her makeup.

The phoenix crown of the super first-class life is even more heavy and luxurious, and Mrs. Mu is old again, and all these more than ten pounds of clothes are put on, in fact, it is really a heavy burden for her. But her rocker was still straight, and although the phoenix crown was heavy, her head was still held high, and her shoulders were straight, not at all like an old woman in her sixtieth year.

However, that is only scratching the surface. These days, Mrs. Mu is even sad and tormented, in fact, her physical condition is not very good, wearing these heavy clothes, if she does not rely on the support of crutches, it is difficult for her to walk steadily.

After she stopped dressing up, Mu Hongsheng immediately ran to the side, opened the cabinet herself, took out her grandmother's crutches, and handed it to Mrs. Mu. Old Madam Mu held on to her crutches, took a step out, then lowered her shoulders and said to Second Madam Mu with great momentum: "Let's go!" Enter the palace. ”

Mu Hongshang sent her grandmother to the carriage by the second gate, she stared at Cuiyun and Cuiliu helped Mrs. Mu into the carriage, and was about to raise her hand to say goodbye to her grandmother and second uncle, but she didn't expect Mrs. Mu to stretch out a hand from the carriage and directly throw the cane to the little guy standing aside.

Mu Hongshang was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran to grab the carriage door, poked her head into the carriage and asked, "Grandmother, why did you throw the crutches out?" Is this not stable enough? I asked Sister Lotus Leaf to hurry up and get another one. ”

"Don't." Old Madam Mu shook her head at Mu Hongsheng very decisively: "Your grandmother is not old enough to be that old!" From the palace gate to the imperial study, I can still walk this little way. ”

Mu Hongshang nodded, she understood what her grandmother meant. Grandmother didn't go to the emperor to intercede, what she wanted was not the emperor's mercy, but the emperor's trust and support. She entered the palace this time, not as an old lady in the mansion of An Guo to face the saint, but as the spokesperson of An Guo Gong in Beijing to meet the emperor, and explain to him the current predicament faced by the defenders of the northern border, as well as the fierce loyalty of the Mu family.

Mu Hongshang understood, so she didn't say anything, just smiled and waved at her grandmother, and then stepped aside, watching the carriage move forward along the bluestone road and leave the Anguo Mansion.

Either way, she still has hope. Because Zheng Ying told her that the emperor actually trusts the Mu family very much, but he is suspicious by nature, and he doesn't trust his courtiers or even his own princes very much. Relatively speaking, An Guogong is already one of the courtiers who can be trusted and relied on by the emperor. 135 Chinese

Mu Hongshang trusted Zheng Ying and was willing to believe what he said, so she still had hope. She hoped that the emperor could rely on this trust to favor the Mu family more, so that he could make a decision earlier.

It's hard to say whether the emperor can be more partial to the Mu family, but at least when Mrs. Mu enters the palace, the emperor gives enough face.

After the Mu family's carriage stopped at the palace gate, Mrs. Mu got out of the car and found that Chen Quanli, the chief supervisor of the internal supervision, was standing next to the carriage with a smile and greeted Mrs. Mu in person.

"The old lady has always been nice." Without waiting for Mrs. Mu to speak, Chen Quanli rushed to greet the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Mu family: "The emperor has been waiting for your old man for a long time, and specially sent our family to the palace gate to greet you!" Mrs. Mu, are you feeling better? You have been sick for a long time, the emperor has been thinking about it, I heard that you accompanied the old lady into the palace today, the emperor is very happy. ”

"I'm tired of the emperor," Mrs. Mu immediately said: "How can I still work for Gonggong Chen to greet him personally, the old man can't afford it." ”

"Old lady, where are you talking about this?" Chen Quanli immediately leaned over and personally supported Mrs. Mu: "You are the only super-grade commander of our Great Zhou Dynasty, the real old feudal monarch, you rarely enter the palace, and our family should come to welcome you." If you can't afford it, no one can afford this whole week. ”

"Grandpa Chen is polite." Old Madam Mu bowed to Chen Quanli as a sign of politeness, and then straightened her waist and walked towards the palace gate. Dragging more than a dozen catties, Mrs. Mu tried her best to make herself walk steadily, she tried not to rely on Chen Quanli's help, so step by step, she walked to the imperial study by herself.

When she arrived at the imperial study, a layer of fine sweat was already pouring out of Mrs. Mu's back. After Chen Quanli announced loudly, he stepped aside, while Second Mrs. Mu, who had been following Mrs. Mu, walked up a few steps and helped her mother-in-law.

It was only at this time that Mrs. Mu dared to rely on her daughter-in-law with confidence and boldness, and before stepping into the imperial study, she turned her head and smiled at Second Mrs. Mu, her eyes were extremely resolute.

Second Lady Mu looked at Old Lady Mu's calm and firm gaze and nodded heavily.

On this day, Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu stayed in the emperor's imperial study for two full hours. stayed from Chenzheng until noon, and even after the emperor's usual lunch time had passed, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came out of the imperial study.

It's just so unusual. Even a few Xiangye and Gu scholars, and even the previous Lin Xiang, rarely stayed in the imperial study for such a long time, unless there was really a major military event, the emperor would summon important ministers into the imperial study to discuss politics for a long time.

However, Old Madam Mu actually stayed in the imperial study for four hours in a row today, and the courtiers who received the news couldn't help but mutter. What did the old lady of the Anguo Mansion say to the emperor? Or, did An Guogong let his mother bring some important information to the emperor? ?
