Chapter 157, favoritism

Shen Muqing rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion one step faster than anyone else, stood at the door and took a slight breath and said, "Look at me, are you still good-looking?" ”

"Back to the princess, she looks very beautiful."

Her Royal Highness the princess arrived, and instantly sucked away all the scenery of Chu Qing'er, she was already noble, and those things were just proper etiquette for her.

Ruan Muheng stood in the crowd and covered all his edges, watching Shen Muqing nobly walk through the crowd, at that moment he was thinking about what Tang Nuannuan was because he was willing to give up the entire Night Kingdom for him.

He knew the ambition of the Chu family, he would help his beloved woman win the world, even if she died in his arms in the end, he didn't want her to leave with the sadness of her low status.

"Brother Mu Heng!" Chu Qing'er lifted the hem of her skirt and ran to Ruan Muheng's side happily, glanced at Chu Qing'er slightly, and said, "The eldest lady of the Chu family is really more beautiful than usual today. ”

"Courtiers, thank you for your praise from Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the most beautiful and noble person today."

"No, Brother Mu Heng is the noble person."

Shen Muqing looked at Ruan Muheng with a smile, and said softly: "Brother Muheng, yesterday's sugar gourd is really delicious, after the banquet is over, you can accompany me to buy another stick!" ”

Hearing the three words of sugar gourd, Chu Qing'er obviously raised her head and looked at Ruan Muheng and Shen Muqing.

She kept thinking about why Ruan Muheng wanted to keep a sugar gourd, she thought that Ruan Muheng wanted to eat it herself, but now it sounds like it was going to be given to the lord in the palace.

Shen Muqing obviously noticed Chu Qing'er's smiling expression, and asked coldly, "Miss Chu is really happy today!" Princess Ben has never lost the smile on your face. ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, today I thank Her Royal Highness the Princess, the general and the blessing of the father's land have come, so many people are here to celebrate the birthday of the courtiers, and the courtiers are naturally happy."

"Oh? Is it? Shen Muqing glanced at Chu Qing'er's clothes and said, "Miss Chu should pay attention to her future attire, this white dress doesn't seem to be very suitable for today's banquet." ”

Ruan Muheng coughed lightly and said, "Please forgive Your Highness the princess, all the dishes today, the on-site layout and Miss Chu's dress are all handled by the ministers, and the ministers are not in charge." ”

Hearing that it was arranged by Ruan Muheng, Shen Muqing just frowned slightly and said: "Actually, it's not so rude, this is not a plain mourning dress, and now it looks like it's something else." ”

Seeing Shen Muqing's sudden change of face, everyone instantly understood the master who should be sought after today, and hurriedly praised: "General Ruan is really talented!" Not only will there be wars, but they will also do so little things in these little things. ”

"That's right! A man like General Ruan can only be worthy of us as princesses! ”

Listening to their praise of Ruan Muheng, Shen Muqing became more and more happy and said: "Today, on Miss Chu's birthday, this princess didn't bring any good gifts, so be it!" Let's give everyone here a cloud silk. ”

Cloud silk is such a precious thing, officials with high status only get one in three years, although they know that the princess's mansion is not used up, but such a generous distribution is also an eye-opener.

Seeing this, everyone praised Ruan Muheng's voice more and more hard, and they hoped to please the princess more today and get more benefits.

It's just that Shen Muqing hadn't listened to the praise of those people for her and Ruan Muhenglang's talent and appearance, when she heard a summons outside.

"The concubine has arrived! Idlers avoid! Officials close their eyes! ”

Looking at Concubine Chu who was hugged by the honor guard and walked in, Shen Muqing laughed silently.

With such a big battle, she was useless as a princess, but she was used first by a clown bird, she shook her head helplessly, and said to Yun beside her: "She is too arrogant, let's cut it first and then play, my father has me on his side, so let's get rid of her today." ”

"Is the princess planning to ruin her reputation?"

Yun Jian cautiously responded to Tang Nuannuan.

At this moment, he finally knew the difference between the woman in front of him and Shen Muqing, Shen Muqing would never be so ruthless to anyone.

However, Tang Nuannuan is a sweet-looking poisonous snake, and when it bites, it is all deadly.

"If she inadvertently matched the princess and Brother Mu Heng, she will be punished for living in the cold palace for a long time."

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."

No matter what kind of character Shen Muqing is now, what kind of person he is, he will obey him, because she has Shen Muqing's shadow on her body, as long as she has Shen Muqing's soul in her body, he will obey her unconditionally, which is the similarity between him and Ruan Muheng.

It's just that Ruan Muheng is more affectionate than him, he is a blue-eyed person, he can't escape that girl, but Ruan Muheng is not, Ruan Muheng can obviously wander the whole world, he can have many different girls, but he has never done that, since a thousand years ago, Ruan Muheng's heart has always been the woman named Qing'er.

And that person called Qing'er, no matter how long the soul has changed, has the ability to keep her heart permanent, she hides all her love in her heart, even Ruan Muheng's love for her is hidden, their love is mutual, so he feels envious.

Chu Guifei was wearing the crown of the concubine, and the jade pendant on the crown was swaying, with the sound of falling every step, and those sounds fell in everyone's heart like deep water, making everyone subconsciously die, and the people who came from the Chu Mansion were all big officials, so they naturally understood the power of this Chu Guifei.

In just a few years after entering the palace, the emperor's soul has been hooked, and if you offend her, you may end up worse than offending the princess.

Concubine Chu's expression was even more arrogant than Shen Muqing's, and her raised head seemed to announce to the world that she was the lord of this place.

Looking at such a concubine Chu, Shen Muqing shook his head helplessly and said to Ruan Muheng on the side: "Brother Muheng, do you hate her?" ”

"How?" Ruan Muheng glanced at Shen Muqing with some surprise, he remembered that at this time in his previous life, Tang Nuannuan only dared to speak beside him, but now she was like she had swapped bodies with Chu Qing'er, showing arrogance and complacency to the fullest.

Shen Muqing paused and looked at Concubine Chu and said, "It's such a big honor guard for the concubine to leave the palace!" ”

Concubine Chu saw Shen Muqing at the first glance when she entered the mansion, but she still pretended to be what she had just seen, and said with a look of amazement: "Her Royal Highness the Princess? It turns out that Her Royal Highness the princess also came to the birthday of her niece in the palace! Look at this little niece in this palace, this face is bigger than this palace. ”

The eunuch shouted to the people around him with a look in his eyes: Raise your eyes!

Only then did all the ministers and their dependents dare to raise their heads and look at Chu Guifei and said, "Ask the noble concubine Niangniang." ”

"Okay, well, you guys are okay, let's all get ready for dinner! Today, you should eat a family feast, and you don't need to move such a big ceremony. ”

Chu Qing'er ran to Chu Guifei's side with a happy face, pulled her sleeve with gold thread and said, "Auntie! My niece is looking forward to seeing you day and night! Today you're finally here! If I know that I will be able to see you on my birthday, my niece will definitely send invitations to your palace every day. ”

Concubine Chu squinted her eyes and looked at Chu Qing'er with a smile and said, "You! It's just a single mouth sweet! Your birthday is the Good Friday of my sister-in-law, so you can't talk nonsense! By the way, did you thank the general? Hongu must have put a lot of thought into the banquet arrangement. ”

"Niece, niece hasn't had time to thank General Ruan properly."

Chu Qing'er lowered her head slightly and glanced at Ruan Muheng's direction shyly.

That look made Shen Muqing stand in front of Ruan Muheng in fear and said, "Guifei Niangniang, why did you put up a shelf as soon as you came?" Today is Qing'er's top salute, let's just take a look, Brother Mu Heng is doing this just for a good word, and there is nothing to say about thanks. ”

Chu Qing'er understood the current situation, she naturally wouldn't let Chu Guifei stand in front of her anymore to reply to Shen Muqing's words, and immediately picked up the wine glass on the side and walked to Ruan Muheng and said, "General Ruan, you've been bothered these days. ”

Yun Yi naturally knew that Ruan Muheng would definitely not refuse Chu Qing'er, just that face and eyes were enough for Ruan Muheng to do anything.

He approached Shen Muqing quietly, and the next moment, as she expected, Ruan Muheng pushed away Shen Muqing, who was blocking him, raised the jade cup in his hand and said, "Miss Chu is polite, these are what I did voluntarily." ”

Shen Muqing, who was violently pushed away by Ruan Muheng, took two steps back unsteadily, just leaning on Yun Jian, who was already ready to catch Shen Muqing, and said in a low voice as low as possible: "My subordinates have already arranged for someone to do it, please don't miss the beautiful scenery of the small spring in the back garden of Youxiang's Mansion for a while." ”

Shen Muqing didn't care about Ruan Muheng pushing her away and ignoring her, for her, Ruan Muheng should be such an unruly person, so even Ruan Muheng brought her a sugar gourd to move her until now.

She glanced at Concubine Chu lightly and said, "Okay, this wine is also respected, and Xie is also said, so don't put up a shelf here to delay others' meals." ”

Concubine Chu nodded slightly at Shen Muqing, who had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and said, "This palace will be seated." ”

Shen Muqing watched Concubine Chu lift the hem of her skirt and approach the phoenix chair beside her, and glanced at Yun Ji beside her, Yun Jian quickly understood what she meant, and stood in front of Chu Guifei and said, "Princess, please go to the phoenix chair." ”

Shen Muqing pretended to be amazed and looked at Yun Zhi and said: "Look at the memory of this princess, I really forgot that the phoenix chair can only be made for the real phoenix, the father is a dragon, and the queen mother is a phoenix, it seems that this phoenix chair can only be sat by this princess." ”

Concubine Chu slowly grabbed the sleeve in her hand, looked at Shen Muqing and said, "Naturally, the princess is good to sit down, this palace..."

Before Concubine Chu finished speaking, Shen Muqing immediately interrupted her words, beckoned to Ruan Muheng and said, "Brother Muheng, you can sit on my left!" ”

In the Tang Kingdom, the dragon phoenix and phoenix are respected on the left and the right is inferior, Shen Mu didn't plan to let Chu Guifei step down early in the morning, she looked at Chu Guifei's slowly stinking expression and smiled lightly: "Is this right seat for Miss Qing'er or for Chu Guifei?" Princess Ben is a bit hard to decide! ”

Ruan Muheng naturally knew Shen Muqing's intentions, and said with a casual smile on the corner of his mouth: "No need princess, the minister likes the sunshine here, and he can just sit with the eldest lady of the Chu family, and the minister is touched by the joy of the birthday." ”

Ruan Muheng said this, but it also left Chu Qing'er's face, but it was difficult for Chu Guifei to accept the seat that was given up like this, so she could only walk to Chu Qing'er's side with a wry smile and said, "Qing'er, this palace will sit next to you." ”

Seeing Chu Qing'er surrounded by everyone and she isolated, Shen Muqing felt sad for the first time, she had never been completely ignored by someone like this, and even said that she had avoided it, which was really unacceptable to her.

Yun Jian carefully mixed with Shen Muqing, trying not to make her feel lonely, "Princess, today's mutton is very delicious, can my subordinates help you cut two pieces and taste it?" ”

Shen Muqing looked at the dishes on the plate without appetite and shook his head, looked up at Ruan Muheng, saw him sandwich a chopsticks and said, "Take the greens."

"Princess, don't you hate eating these greens the most?" The palace maid beside her looked at Shen Muqing and said, "Princess, aren't you unable to eat?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Muqing looked at the golden plate impatiently, and watched Ruan Muheng give the dishes on the plate to Chu Qing'er, she looked at the dishes on the plate without saying a word, and smiled: "It's tasteless."

Ruan Muheng looked at the crab in front of him, smiled lightly, somehow picked it up, carefully peeled the shell and looked at Shen Muqing with a smile: "Princess, taste this crab."

Shen Muqing glanced at Ruan Muheng with some surprise, happily took his crab, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Muheng." ”

Only Ruan Muheng knew that the action he had just made was just to push the mission to end quickly, and if he was stuck in this task all the time, he would never be able to meet his Qing'er.

The process of eating was very fast, Shen Muqing glanced at Yun Ji on the side, Yun Ji replied to Shen Muqing with a reassuring expression, and gently clapped his hands at everyone and said, "Everyone, now please move to the back garden of the Xiangfu to enjoy the flowers of the new day, as well as the unique spring water of the Xiangfu." ”

Shen Muqing stood up lightly, looked at Chu Qing'er with a smile and said, "Miss Chu, you have been staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you must be very familiar with this flower, right?" Why don't you introduce the flowers here? Well? Presumably Miss Chu will not refuse this princess, right? ”

Saying that, Shen Muqing picked up the roses on the side, looked at Chu Qing'er with a smile and said, "That's it, the roses don't need it, let's talk about peonies." ”

"Peony?"

Chu Qing'er naturally understood what Shen Muqing meant, and smiled slightly: "

Peony flowers are rich in nutrients and have high medicinal value and edible value. At present, the phenomenon of eating peony flowers can be seen everywhere has gradually become a fashion, and has formed many formulas, peony flowers are made into peony drinks, peony flower tea, peony flower wine, peony sauce and peony flower cakes, edible not only has health care function, but also edible petals with rich floral fragrance. ”
