Chapter 384: Just Go and See
During the day, she looked like she was fine, but only she knew the discomfort in her heart.
Lin Mumu looked at the top of the tent in a daze, didn't sleep all night, and opened her eyes until dawn.
"Is the eldest lady awake?"
"Not yet, there's no movement in the house."
"The queen wants to choose a concubine for the prince, and you must not let the eldest lady know."
"Well, I'm not going to say it."
"Squeak"
Before Ning Xiang could finish speaking, the door of the house was opened from the inside.
Both of them were stunned, and looked at Lin Mumu who was standing at the door with her hair scattered in shock.
"Big, the eldest lady woke up......"
Lin Mumu looked at Ning Xiang slowly with an expressionless face. "What did you just say?"
Ning Xiang pinched her sleeves in a bit of a panic. "The slave maid and Sister Qiaoqiao woke up in the morning, and the situation seems to be much better......"
"When is the concubine banquet?"
"Just three days later...... Not! Realizing that she had leaked her mouth, Ning Xiang covered her mouth helplessly.
Stacked and speechless glanced at her, what a good deception.
"Miss......"
"Ten roast chickens, sprinkle some cumin powder."
"Miss......"
"Bang!"
Before Ning Xiang finished speaking, her nose was almost caught by the closed door.
"What should I do, the eldest lady still knows, it's all my fault......" Ning Xiang covered her nose and blamed herself.
"Well, sooner or later, we'll find out."
……
The Imperial Palace, in the practice room.
"Ahh
"Huh!"
"Whew!"
Before dawn during the practice, there were screams.
Outside the practice room, the close attendant masters standing in a row trembled.
Mingyang looked at the attendants who walked into the practice room in front of him, and his feet were inexplicably weak.
Not long after the people entered, the screams rang out again.
Mingyang's face was tight, and he really wanted to go to the thatched house to hide!
"Next." A low and hoarse voice like a rakshasa sounded, Mingyang's body trembled, and he walked in with a sad face.
In the practice room, Zhao Xuanling, who was dressed in a strong suit, looked at Mingyang expressionlessly.
"Lord ......"
"Make a move!"
As soon as Zhao Xuanling's internal strength condensed, the palm wind swept towards Mingyang.
Mingyang's heart sank, and he responded with all his strength, but he was a little overwhelmed with only ten moves.
"Hmm!"
Mingyang's negligence was slapped on the shoulder by Zhao Xuanling, and he felt that his internal organs were about to be shattered.
"It's been so long, and I still haven't made any progress." Zhao Xuanling stared at him coldly.
"Subordinates damn it, in the future, subordinates must study hard and practice hard to take over the prince's twenty moves."
", next."
Mingyang smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and his head slipped away without looking back.
Since Lin Mumu left that day, Zhao Xuanling called the guards of the palace to the practice room one by one to practice, and until now he has not even slowed his breath!
They don't know if the prince can't stand it, anyway, they are going to be abolished......
"Lord, someone has come to the palace."
Hui with color on his face came to the outside of the practice room.
The guards who were about to walk into the practice room looked at Hui Du and were about to cry, Brother Hui appeared in such a timely manner!
Suddenly, the door of the practice room opened, and Zhao Xuanling, whose strength suit was soaked with sweat.
When the father-in-law in the front yard saw Zhao Xuanling, who was exuding cold air all over his body, approaching, he subconsciously shrank his neck.
"See the prince."
Zhao Xuanling directly crossed him to the chair and sat down.
"What?"
The father-in-law shook his hand, took a booklet from the little eunuch's hand, and handed it to Zhao Xuanling. "Lord, these are the noble girls screened out by the queen mother for you, and please take a look at the prince."
After his father-in-law finished speaking, he couldn't get a response from Zhao Xuanling for a long time, he secretly raised his eyes and met Zhao Xuanling's black eyes that seemed to be able to suck people's souls.
The father-in-law's heart trembled, and he continued: "The queen mother said that the concubine selection banquet will be in three days, and the prince will be invited to the banquet in person at that time." ”
Zhao Xuanling suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, bringing out a strange chill.
Without waiting for him to speak, Mingyang, who was staring at a panda-eyed person, walked in. "Lord Wang."
Zhao Xuanling lifted his eyelids and looked at him.
Mingyang walked up to Zhao Xuanling and whispered, "Miss Lin asked someone to send a roast chicken over, saying that it was a new flavor she had researched, and asked someone to send it to the prince to taste." 202 e-books
Zhao Xuanling looked stunned, looked at the princess and said, "I went back to the queen, and I said that the king would arrive on time for the banquet in three days." ”
The father-in-law was stunned, he thought that Zhao Xuanling would let people throw him out, but he didn't expect him to agree so simply.
"Yes, it's a minion, so I'll go back and talk back to the queen." After getting the reply, my father-in-law didn't want to stay here for a moment, the king was really terrible!
After the father-in-law led the people away, Zhao Xuanling's fingertips fell on the porcelain cup and rubbed back and forth, and Mingyang stood quietly aside waiting for his reply.
Suddenly, Zhao Xuanling tapped his fingertips, and said without a trace of ups and downs in his voice: "Send things back, you don't need to tell this king anything she sends in the future, she just throws it away if she doesn't want to return it." ”
Mingyang was stunned, he still thought that Zhao Xuanling could eat some......
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
After Zhao Xuanling's reply, Mingyang personally went to the gate of the palace, and Ning Yuan was still waiting outside with a food box.
Mingyang walked up to Ning Yuan, and as soon as he got closer, he smelled a fragrant smell of roast chicken, and he swallowed his saliva with some regret, it seems that the prince is determined to draw a line with Lin Mumu.
"The prince said, don't send anything over in the future, take this chicken back."
Ning Yuan thought of this as a result when he came.
"I see."
Ning Yuan was about to leave with the food box, but was stopped by Mingyang again.
"Anything else?"
Mingyang thought for a while and said, "The prince will go to the concubine selection banquet held by the queen mother in three days." ”
Telling Ning Yuan these things also wanted Lin Mumu to die to Zhao Xuanling, and it was really impossible for the two of them to do so.
Ning Yuan frowned slightly and nodded. "I see."
Ning Yuan got into the carriage with the food box and returned to the house before sunset.
"My brother is back."
Ning Xiang, who was guarding in the garden, saw Ning Yuan walking first, she glanced at Lin Mumu, who was concentrating on roasting chicken, and quietly walked to Ning Yuan.
"Well, the eldest lady is still roasting?"
Ning Xiang nodded, she glanced in Lin Mumu's direction and lowered her voice: "Did the prince accept the roast chicken sent to the Royal Palace?" ”
Ning Yuan raised the food box in his hand and shook his head.
"Ning Yuan is back."
Lin Mumu blew the roast chicken in his hand, and his eyes fell on the food box in Ning Yuan's hand.
Ning Yuan walked up to Lin Mumu and said without concealing it: "Eldest Miss, the prince didn't accept it, and said that the eldest lady should not send anything to the palace in the future." ”
Lin Mumu stared at the food box and was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he took the food box and opened it, took out the roast chicken inside and took a bite with an expressionless face. "It's a shame, such a delicious roast chicken."
Ning Xiang looked at Lin Mumu like this, and wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know what to say.
"The prince said that in three days he will go to the concubine selection banquet held by the queen."
Lin Mumu's movements paused slightly, but in an instant, he ate it in a big gulp and chewed fiercely.
Ning Xiang hurriedly pulled Ning Yuan and signaled him not to say any more, the eldest lady has only looked better in the past two days, and now she knows that the king does not resist the choice of concubine, and she is afraid that she will be uncomfortable again.
Ning Yuan knew that Lin Mumu was uncomfortable, but some facts had to be accepted after all.
Since there were several assassination incidents in the palace before, Emperor Showa did not like to hold banquets in the palace, so this time the concubine banquet was arranged in the palace.
In order to show the importance of Zhao Xuanling's concubine selection banquet, Emperor Showa also specially instructed the queen to make the banquet grand and grand, and the queen was also very concerned about it.
Therefore, early in the morning, the bluestone road leading to the palace was lined with horse-drawn carriages from various mansions.
In a vermilion carriage, Lan Qinzhu looked at Lin Mumu opposite with a distressed expression.
She had already heard about Lin Mumu and Zhao Xuanling, but because the princess's mansion had recently planned to leave the affairs of the palace to her to take care of, she hadn't been able to take time to see Lin Mumu these days.
Yesterday, Lin Mumu asked people to go to the eldest princess's mansion and handed her a letter, saying that she was asked to take her to the palace.
"Mu Mu, do you really want to go?"
Lin Mumu raised her eyebrows. "I just want to see what kind of person will marry him in the end."
Lan Qinzhu was silent, just that, since she wanted to go to her, she would fulfill her.
The carriage quickly stopped outside the palace, and Lin Mumu and Lan Qinzhu stepped down from the carriage.
The young ladies who were waiting outside the gate of the palace to enter looked at her with different expressions when they saw Lin Mumu appear.
Who in Xijing doesn't know about Lin Mumu and Zhao Xuanling, and they know the current identities of the two, what's the matter with Lin Mumu appearing here today?
Facing everyone's strange looks, Lin Mumu's face remained unchanged.
Lan Qinzhu frowned a little unhappily when she saw that many people were looking at them, and glared fiercely at those peeping people.
"Let's go, let's go in."
The palace people at the gate of the palace saw Lin Mumu coming, so they stepped forward to stop him.
"This is a palace, not all idle people can enter, so those who know each other should leave quickly."
"What an arrogant minion, Mrs. Ben doesn't know when she became an idler!?" Lan Qinzhu frowned, and glared coldly at the palace person.
The palace people only paid attention to Lin Mumu just now, but they didn't notice Lan Qinzhu behind her.
"Mrs. Fang's forgiveness, it's not you who is talking about it."
"Mu Mu is the person I brought, and you want to stop it?"
The palace people looked at Lan Qinzhu in embarrassment. "Mrs. Fang, Lin Mumu is the daughter of a traitor, if she is let in and something goes wrong, she can't afford it."
"What a traitor's daughter, the emperor didn't investigate when it was your turn to be a slave to be presumptuous!"
Hearing this, Lin Mumu's heart was suffocated, Zhao Xuanling used the 300,000 troops in her hands in exchange for Emperor Showa's forgiveness for her.
She clenched her fists in her sleeves and told herself that she was really just going to see it, and she would never make a mess of him.
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Fang said yes." Behind Lan Qinzhu are the Lan Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion, which is not something that a small chamberlain can offend him.
"It's good to know." Lan Qinzhu pulled Lin Mumu past the inner attendant and entered the palace.
When they walked away, the chamberlain hurriedly said to the people around him: "Quick, go and tell the queen mother Lin Mumu that she is here." ”
"Yes."
