Chapter 22: Miss Shen's Provocation
"It seems that Miss Mu is very concerned about the prince's body."
Just when Mu Wan wanted to use her mother Liu to knock Mu Qing a few words, a voice with a somewhat sarcastic smile came from the door, obviously the third prince who had just returned from the palace.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"
Although in the eyes of the Mu family, this third prince is afraid that he will not live long, but at least he is still the third prince in name now.
"There's no need to be so polite, Miss Mu is still Qing'er's sister after all, so there's no need to be formal."
Bai Lichen smiled.
There was a gentle look on her face, but for some reason, Mu Wan's body trembled slightly.
Not only Mu Wan, but Mu Qing also felt that the atmosphere was a little delicate at this time.
Mu Wan over there was already trembling with fright, and Mu Qing couldn't figure out why the third prince who was supposed to be in the palace suddenly came back.
However, the Mu family is her mother clan in the end, after she crossed here, she didn't have any support, although this mother clan will not be much better, but something is better than nothing.
At least when she still has use value, Mu Chenghai's father will help.
"Forget it, sister, I'm a little unwell today, I'll talk to my sister next time."
Mu Qing intended to give Mu Wan a step down, but Mu Wan felt that this was driving her away, so she secretly hated Mu Qing in her heart.
Because of the loss suffered by Mu Qing today, after Mu Wan went back, she wanted to take revenge on Mu Qing.
Although the Mu family is a petty official, Mu Wan can manage her own connections, and has some friendship with many ladies from high-ranking and noble families in the capital, especially the daughter of Prime Minister Shen's family, Shen Shuang'er.
Shen Shuang'er is Prime Minister Shen Cheng's most precious daughter, the only daughter-in-law, and has known Bailichen since childhood.
She has always liked Bailichen in her heart, but she is worried that Bailichen's body is so weak, and she is afraid that she will be widowed in just a few years after she marries, so she has been dragging it out like this.
Unexpectedly, the benefits were actually taken away by Mu Qing.
She has always been very jealous of this matter.
"Shuang'er, you don't know, this Mu Qing thinks that he will be the third princess after marrying the third prince, and he is also very unkind to my sister, pointing fingers, and finally drove me out directly."
After Mu Wan went back, she took advantage of this incident to smear Mu Qing in front of Shen Shuang'er.
Although Shen Shuang'er didn't like Mu Wan's affectionate name for herself, what she hated even more was Mu Qing in her words.
"Is she really so proud?"
If it weren't for the emperor's sudden change of mind, he adopted the words of the Qin Tianjian of Laoshizi, and gave the daughter of this little Shangshu to the third prince Bai Lichen, where would she have such a blessing to marry Bai Lichen as a concubine.
"Yes, you are the daughter of the dignified prime minister, where is this Mu Qing a little bit better than you, I think, Shuang'er should teach her a good lesson, let her know who is the tip of the third prince's heart."
I have to say that these words really reached Shen Shuang'er's heart.
She had secretly felt very annoyed after hearing about this before, but now that Mu Wan told her about it, she was even more determined to behave well in front of Mu Qing and let her recognize her status.
Mu Qing didn't know that Mu Wan and Shen Shuang'er were friends.
However, the day after Mu Wan went back, this Shen Shuang'er came to the door, which made her a little puzzled.
Why is the third prince so popular, why didn't she know it before.
"Niangniang, the third prince is in the mansion today, this Miss Shen came at this time, and I heard that she went directly to the third prince's study."
Xin'er whispered a few words in Mu Qing's ear.
Mu Qing looked up and saw the little maid standing at the door, it was the girl who helped her slap Mu Wan a few words yesterday.
Seems to be a clever worker.
"Let's take a look, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, she's just a boudoir lady, and she just wants to show off in front of me, and she can't do anything out of the ordinary."
After all, she didn't know what the third prince meant to this Shen Shuang'er.
Maybe people are happy with each other.
She doesn't have much friendship with Bailichen, and what she married is just money.
She is a principled woman, if Shen Shuang'er is really happy with Bai Lichen, it is not that she can't turn a blind eye.
And the most important thing is that Mu Qing hasn't gotten the money he wants to become the richest woman in Baili Country.
"Come, Your Highness, this is the soup I made with my own hands, Your Highness drink more, it is good for your body."
When Mu Qing came in, Shen Shuang'er was using her slender jade hands to take out the soup from the food box she brought and put it on the table of the third prince.
"Well, I'll eat it later."
The third prince smiled and nodded, but he didn't mean to eat.
Mu Qing, who saw this scene, knew that this was the concubine's intention, and Lang was ruthless.
Mu Qing's face didn't change much, this Shen Shuang'er made it clear that she did it on purpose, after all, before she came in, the subordinates in the Three Princes' Mansion had already reported it once.
In fact, Mu Qing doesn't care now, whether this Shen Shuang'er will become the side concubine of the Third Prince, but if this Shen Shuang'er comes to the Third Prince's Mansion.
In the future, won't the wealth of the Three Princes' Mansion be distributed to this Shen Shuang'er.
For a moment, her eyes were full of hostility when she looked at Shen Shuang'er.
Bai Lichen over there was also a little surprised when he looked at Mu Qing's eyes.
When did this princess of mine change her temperament.
But he had a mind, and his face just didn't show it.
"The Three Imperial Concubines."
This Shen Shuang'er knew the rules better than that Mu Wan at first glance.
At least she didn't babble like Mu Wan, she was very polite, and her face was still soft and weak, which made people feel protective when she looked at it.
"No need to be polite."
Mu Qing smiled and sat on the side, right on the edge of Bailichen.
Shen Shuang'er's face stiffened for a moment, but only for a moment.
"The third princess is the best temperament, I guess she won't care about me, I grew up with the three princes since I was a child, so I naturally have some feelings, and now I just want to care about the body of the three princes."
Shen Shuang'er said that she was dead as soon as she opened her mouth, if Mu Qing was unwilling to let go at this time, it would seem that she was very stingy.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very delicate.
Bai Lichen over there looked at Mu Qing with the tea in his hand, he wanted to see how Mu Qing would deal with this matter.
"Naturally, I won't care, the third prince and Miss Shen are like brothers and sisters, how can I be embarrassed to destroy this brother-sister relationship, my sister came to visit my brother, isn't this the so-called human nature."
When she said the word brother and sister, the smile on Bai Lichen's face deepened, and Shen Shuang'er's hand over there stopped in mid-air, she didn't expect to get such an answer.
Brother and sister relationship, it is really a good brother and sister relationship.
Who in the entire Baili Country didn't know that she liked Bailichen, if it weren't for Bailichen's body and bones that had always been very poor, she had some scruples in her heart, and her father was not very willing, so she gave others a chance......
Unexpectedly, now Mu Qing actually said that this is a kind of brother and sister relationship.
But what can she say, if she says that she likes Bailichen in front of her subordinates, then she is not the so-called third party who intervenes sideways.
"Your Highness, let's drink the soup first."
Shen Shuang'er deliberately avoided the other party and wanted to feed the third prince soup in person.
"Oh, how can this kind of thing trouble Miss Shen."
Mu Qing said, directly took the things in Shen Shuang'er's hand, and then scooped a spoonful, and blew it on his mouth very intimately.
"Your Royal Highness~ come, the concubine will feed you."
After saying that, he put the spoon on the side of Bailichen.
She felt that Bai Lichen didn't like Shen Shuang'er, but was very disgusted with the other party's entanglement, so she should accept herself.
Sure enough, Bai Lichen took a sip of the spoon handed over by Mu Qing.
The soup was brought by Shen Shuang'er, but now Shen Shuang'er stood aside and watched, like an outsider.
"Thank you Miss Shen for your kindness, this Miss Shen's craftsmanship is really good."
Mu Qing pretended to be satisfied and sighed.
Shen Shuang'er was smiling, looking quiet and gentle, but only she knew that her hand was about to be pierced by her fingernails at this moment.
originally thought that Bai Lichen would be very dissatisfied with the emperor's concubine, and as far as she knew, this Mu Qing was still the prince's Royal Highness who said that he would be a concubine for Bai Lichen.
I didn't expect the two of them to get along so well.
"The courtier...... I retired first, and my father still had important things to wait at home. ”
"In that case, help me say hello to the old general."
Bai Lichen didn't mean to keep it at all, and his eyes were looking at Mu Qing when he spoke.
Shen Shuang'er looked at Mu Qing, and the hatred in her eyes seemed to be able to engulf Mu Qing.
But Mu Qing just didn't see this.
"Miss Shen go slowly, I still have to serve the prince to drink soup, so I won't send Miss Shen out."
Shen Shuang'er snorted coldly and left with the maid.
After Shen Shuang'er left, Mu Qing over there put down the spoon in his hand.
"Why, didn't the imperial concubine say that she was going to serve me to drink soup, and she was even too busy to send Miss Shen away, why ...... now?"
Although Bai Lichen was disgusted by strangers' touching of him, he was not disgusted by Mu Qing's overtures to him, but felt that it was very useful.
Seeing that Mu Qing was unwilling to continue, he showed a somewhat innocent smile, which made people in a dilemma.
Mu Qing was said this, and the spoon he put down had to be picked up again helplessly.
"Yes, yes, the concubines are waiting for His Royal Highness the Third Prince to drink soup."
She didn't know what evil this Bailichen had fallen into, so she actually let herself serve him and drink a whole bowl of soup.
Back in his room, Mu Qing shook his arm, sore.
"It really scares me, how did these three princes suddenly change their sex, don't they have a plan......"
"Mother, this is a good thing! Since you got married, you have never been close to the third prince, and today I have a rare opportunity to get closer to His Royal Highness......"
The heart is in the eyes, but the heart is very happy.
"That Miss Shen just now made it clear that she liked our Royal Highness the Third Prince, but fortunately, Niangniang, you are smart, so you drove her away."
Thinking that Miss Shen looked at the affectionate eyes of the third prince just now, she felt angry, this is to make it clear that she doesn't treat the imperial concubine as a human being!
“……”
Mu Qing actually wanted to say that she was just afraid that this Shen Shuang'er would share the family wealth of the third prince with her after marrying, but in fact, she didn't take Shen Shuang'er's thoughts about the third prince Bailichen in her eyes at all.
Forget it, my maid thinks so, just think so.
