Chapter 7 Gift-giving

"You have already been punished for sneaking out of the house. His Royal Highness King Xuan also sent someone to bring you supplements, saying that you were frightened. ”

"......" didn't see that he still had a good conscience! Saved me in the woods in the morning too, I shouldn't say he's changed. Lin Mu faintly blamed himself in his heart.

"Ling'er, I kept thinking about it during the time you were sick. Is it too you? Seeing that Lin Mu didn't speak, Mu Chuyuan said slowly.

"No, no, the strict father is a filial son!" Lin Mu said with a well-behaved face. What's going on with this sudden love from my father?

"You are now old enough to get married, and I know that your heart belongs to His Royal Highness King Jingping. It's Daddy's fault that Daddy obstructed it before, and Daddy shouldn't have compared your marriage with the affairs of the court

Involved. Mu Chuyuan's tone was very sincere, who would have thought that the dignified Lord Mu would apologize to a little girl here? Mu Chuyuan looked at Lin Mu's eyes, and only then did he lose his sternness, leaving only the father's distress and guilt for his daughter.

She's obviously a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, what's wrong with liking a man for the first time? How many girls in Yue Ling Kingdom are not happy with His Royal Highness King Jingping? It's just that Mu Chuyuan hopes that Mu Xueling can live more comfortably, and it is just a matter of marrying a wealthy family, and it will not be a good thing for her to be involved in the royal family.

No, no, no, you're not at fault! Lin Mu wanted to hear what Mu Chuyuan wanted to say.

"You young people have the blessings of young people, if King Jingping is sincere to you, I will ask His Majesty to marry with him." Mu Chuyuan said clearly.

"Daddy, I just came home, and I want to stay in the house for two more years to accompany you and your mother! Are you in such a hurry that you want to drive your daughter away? Lin Mu shouted in his heart: I don't want to marry that scumbag!

"You have this filial piety, of course my father is very pleased. It's just that when the daughter is older, she has to get married after all. Mu Chuyuan seemed to be a little surprised by Lin Mu's reaction. Also, if it was still Mu Ling, she would definitely agree immediately. But maybe she's just too shy to say yes now.

"Daddy, my daughter doesn't want to marry King Jingping." Lin Mu's eyebrows were solemn, and he said word by word.

"Is what I told you too heavy?" Mu Chuyuan looked at Lin Mu's determined appearance, not joking at all, and Ling'er would never joke with him.

"My daughter has nothing but gratitude to King Jingping." Lin Mu knew that Mu Chuyuan was also grateful to King Jingping, after all, if it weren't for him, their family didn't know when they would be reunited. And the reason why Mu Chuyuan prevented Mu Ling and Ling Moxuan from being together was inseparable from the things in their court.

"The daughter hopes that the father can forget what the daughter said before, fulfill the daughter, and stay in the house." Lin Mu said respectfully.

Mu Chuyuan looked at Lin Mu, feeling inexplicably relieved, but he was still inevitably strange. Before, Ling'er could be said to be infatuated with King Jingping. King Jingping also came to visit Ling'er from time to time, but this time Ling'er was sick, and he came less, perhaps because he knew how to avoid suspicion.

Lin Mu looked at Mu Chuyuan and roughly knew what he was thinking. He's not avoiding suspicion, it's just that the two of them have teamed up to set up a plan, isn't it just to achieve the current goal.

However, Ling Moxuan probably didn't expect that it would really affect Mu Ling......

In two days, there will be a banquet in the princess's mansion, which is to celebrate the birthday of the princess and the little princess. The second princess died early, His Majesty had fifteen sons, but only three daughters, Princess Qixiang is His Majesty's fourth daughter and His Majesty's eldest daughter, and she is deeply favored.

"Sister, presumably there will be a qushui liuzhen this year, have you prepared in advance?" Although Mu Xueman is talented, he has a humble status, and this time he was able to attend the banquet with him, all thanks to Yu Yingyi. Presumably, the He family also wants Mu Xue to get to know more of those sons, and it is good to show his face.

"Don't worry, you should be able to fool the past......" Lin Mu thought to himself, isn't it more than anyone's poetry?

Qu Shui Liuzhen, the gameplay of this game. That is, everyone will sit next to the pool water, and everyone will have a certain interval between them, and then put a wine glass on top of the running water, and the glass will be filled with wine. Let the wine glasses flow along the flowing water. If the glass stops in front of someone, the person will drink all the wine in the glass and write a poem. If there is no way to compose poetry, you will be punished with three cups.

Because this can not only satisfy the fun of everyone reciting poetry together, but also will not make poetry pairing seem so boring. I have to say that the ancients had a lot of tricks, and they were not old-fashioned at all in terms of play.

"Sister!" Mu Xueyan called Lin Mu affectionately, and didn't bother to look at Mu Xueman. She never called Mu Xueman "sister", because she despised this kind of lowly subordinate from the bottom of her heart, what qualifications did Mu Xueman have to call each other sisters?

"I'll go first, you talk." Mu Xueman bowed to the two of them resignedly.

"Sister, tomorrow is the princess's birthday banquet, and my sister wants to come to ask Sister A what kind of gift to give to the princess, so as not to lose her courtesy." Mu Xueyan said kindly.

"The gift is expensive in the heart, and when the heart arrives, it will naturally not be lost." A concubine, isn't it rude to go to a banquet? Lin Mu was very impatient and perfunctory in her heart, but now is not a good time to tear her face, so she can only play a sisterly scene with her first.

"Sister, in fact, there is one more thing." Mu Xueyan's face was slightly mysterious, "The birthdays of the little county lord and Princess Qixiang are only one day apart, should we prepare the birthday gift of the little county lord together?" ”

When Lin Mu heard this, her heart trembled, she could actually know about it? But his complexion did not change in the slightest, and he was still quietly cooking tea.

"In previous years, the princess's mansion held a birthday banquet for the princess, but the little princess is the princess's biological daughter! I see, if you want to please the princess, it's better to start from a young child......" Seeing that Lin Mu was silent, Mu Xueyan hurriedly added.

"Then in your opinion, what gifts should I give to the little princess?" Lin Mu seemed to be very interested, cooperating with Mu Xueyan's role.

"My sister knows that my sister doesn't pay much attention to these things on weekdays, so my sister has the courage to prepare a gift for my sister."

"So you came here today to give me a gift? Why didn't you say it earlier? I'm really snubbing my sister" Lin Mu smiled faintly, and his lips hooked out of the unreachable drift.

"But wouldn't this gift be too precious?" Lin Mu opened it and saw that it was a gift that Mu Xueyan kindly gave to Mu Ling in his previous life.

"How so? The little county lord is the blood of the royal family, and no matter how expensive the gifts are, they are just foiling the county lord. Mu Xueyan smiled sweetly, her voice was pleasant, "This thing is called 'Blowing Stars and Falling Rain'......"

"'Blowing stars and raining'? What a name! Lin Mu smiled slightly, "I don't know what the meaning of my sister's gift is?" ”

"I don't know if my sister has ever heard of 'a thousand trees bloom on the night of the east wind.'" More blowing down, stars like rain', this is Jiaxuan Jushi's "Qingyu Case, Yuan Xi", Princess Qixiang is the ...... of Jiaxuan's favorite poems" Mu Xueyan's eyes moved slightly, and she smiled, "More importantly, this is also in line with the scene at that time, celebrating the harmony of the princess's family and the ...... of success"

"Although I haven't heard much of it, it must be great to be so respected by my sister!" Isn't this bullying Mu Ling is a "newcomer", and he is not familiar with the affairs of the capital, let alone hearing the likes and dislikes of Her Royal Highness the princess.

"Then my sister wants this gift?" Mu Xueyan smiled, and her eyes seemed to be shining.

"Is my sister really willing to give it to me?" Lin Mu's eyes picked up slightly, and he smiled faintly.

"My sister and I are sisters, and there is absolutely no reason to give up." Mu Xueyan nodded and said easily, the ink pupils were eager through the thread. The tassels are tinkling, and the sound is very pleasant.

"Okay, I took it, thank you sister for thinking about me everywhere."

Mu Xueyan was happy and happy, and walked out of Lanfang Pavilion with light steps.

The county lord was born to a colt and a woman outside, probably because her mother was not well cared for when she was pregnant, the county lord was weak since she was a child, and the eldest princess was magnanimous, and the little girl was taken into the princess's mansion to be raised by her, which is also a secret of the royal family, and the claims outside are that the county lord is the eldest princess's own son, after all, the horse once promised the eldest princess that she would only have one wife for the rest of her life, and she would never take a concubine, and there would be no son of another child. However, the princess has not been pregnant for many years, and even the little county lord who was born died early, but she learned that the concubine had a child with another woman outside...... But even if Her Royal Highness the princess really accepts the county lord, it does not mean that the county lord can completely replace her daughter, who died young, in her heart.

So if you give the county lord a birthday gift in such a grand manner, it will be a public slap in the face of the royal family, not to mention that he deliberately chose this "blowing stars and rain" that represents the full moon and the family is happy, and there is another meaning, the nickname of the little county lord who died early was once called Xingyu, I don't know if this is a coincidence, or Mu Xueyan is really so powerful, even such a secret thing as the princess's mansion can know.

Early the next morning, the carriage was already waiting outside the gate of King Mu's mansion.

Lin Mu was dressed in a light blue dress, with a thin powder on her face, only a flowing cloud bun, in addition to a white plum hosta on her head, and a few beaded flowers embedded in it, although this body is simple, it looks fresh and elegant, gentle and generous.

"Ling'er, why didn't you wear the new dress I bought for you?" Sun Biping sent new dresses to several young ladies in the house, all of which were made of good fabrics and prepared for this banquet.

"I think Ling'er is very decent when she wears this." Yu Yingyi smiled gently.

Hearing this, Mu Xueyan's face was slightly resentful, but that look passed by in a hurry and was not easy to detect. Looking at Mu Xueyan's outfit, it is really beautiful and graceful. The bright red cloud brocade lined Mu Xueyan's already fair skin more like a blow bomb, as smooth as a shelled egg, and a golden step was inserted in his hair, which played the finishing touch, and the long beads trembled and drooped, swaying between the temples, and the sound was very pleasant.

She wears this outfit to attract the attention of others anywhere. It's just that no matter how beautiful she is, her identity is there, especially the princess's birthday banquet who is now attending with Princess Mu and Miss Mu, it seems a bit noisy.

"Big sister, second sister!" A woman in pink smiled briskly and delicately, and walked up to Lin Mu and Mu Xueyan. Although this woman is not tall, she has a plump body, a standard goose egg face, long eyebrows, jet-black hair, a small bun, a few beaded flowers inserted between the buns, and then look at the white jade bracelet on the wrist to line out the skin like snow.
