Chapter 32: Neon Dress
The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is very lively.
Bai Lichen had already entered the palace today to accompany the Queen Mother, and Mu Qing was preparing to go to the palace in the prince's mansion, so naturally he did not enter the palace with him.
Fortunately, the housekeeper had already ordered the carriage, and after changing into the lotus-colored wide-sleeved lotus leaf skirt he had chosen, Mu Qing personally painted himself a lotus makeup.
Originally, lotus lotus-colored clothes would be disgusted on occasions such as banquets in the palace, but the makeup painted by Mu Qing on his face carried a solemn and solemn beauty.
It seems that the lotus fairy in the sky has descended to earth, and the hairpin in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"Miss is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it."
The person who said this was the maid sent to him by Bai Lichen, named Liuyun, who looked a little cold, but it was somewhat similar to the cold breath of the master.
"Okay Xin'er, you and Mama Chen stay in the house with peace of mind, I'll go to the palace first."
The carriage was shaking, and Liuyun hadn't said anything to Mu Qing since Fang Cai's compliment.
In all kinds of boredom, when I was about to reach the small door of the palace, I opened the curtain and looked at it.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you can see the carriage in the prime minister's house at a glance.
Shen Shuang'er got out of the carriage under the service of a group of maids, and she looked like a lady of the sky.
Mu Qing sneered.
It's just that the clothes on this heavenly lady are a little familiar.
"Miss, you must be the most beautiful at the banquet today."
The maid beside her complimented a few words, Shen Shuang'er didn't show it on her face, but she was very complacent in her heart, and she was about to sit in a small sedan chair to go to the banquet, when she heard the voice behind her.
"Isn't this Miss Shen, when the prince's mansion was goodbye that day, she may not have seen her for a long time."
Mu Qing's voice made her clench her fists.
The people behind him were still smiling.
What kind of character is this Shen Shuang'er, she can see a rough idea of what happened in the prince's mansion that day.
"A few days ago, I was thinking about Miss Shen with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but I saw it first."
Mu Qing walked straight in front of Shen Shuang'er, even if Shen Shuang'er was unwilling, she could only get down from the small sedan chair and give Mu Qing a small salute.
When the other party's set was finished, and the 'I have seen the three imperial concubines' was finished, Mu Qing stepped forward with a surprised look.
"What is Miss Shen doing, you don't have to salute me."
Originally, what Shen Shuang'er thought was that Mu Qing would definitely be very angry and anxious when she looked at the clothes she had worked so hard to design and wore them on her body.
But I didn't expect that Mu Qingzhen didn't react at all, and the smile on his face was perfect.
It seems that this dress is not Mu Qing's.
But as soon as she finished thinking about it, Mu Qing invisibly slapped her in the face.
"It's just that I wore my clothes to Miss Shen, and I might be able to afford this ceremony."
Mu Qing was still smiling, but in this smile, there was a fierce momentum at this time, like a sword suddenly pulled out of the scabbard, which made Shen Shuang'er's eyes widen slightly.
Mu Qing: Is this crazy!
This is the gate of the palace, and those ladies and ladies with heads and faces have to go to the main hall of the banquet from here.
"What are you going to do, Mu Qing!"
Shen Shuang'er was in a hurry for a while, and even forgot to call Concubine Muqing.
"What am I going to do?" Mu Qing innocently looked at the beauty in front of him, and there was a burst of ice in his eyes, "It should be that I asked Miss Shen what to do, right, the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion, I can't afford to make a single piece of clothing, and I actually want Miss Shen to snatch my dress?" ”
Shen Shuang'er, who didn't expect Mu Qing to tear her face in public, was a little surprised at first, but slowly stabilized her mind.
This Mu Qing is just empty words, and her Shen Shuang'er's prestige and reputation in the capital are much better than this so-called Mu Qing.
"I'm afraid that the Three Imperial Concubines have misunderstood, I have never robbed the Three Imperial Concubines of their clothes, and I ask the Third Imperial Concubine Niangniang not to slander me in public without evidence."
Shen Shuang'er already had a peerless appearance, coupled with the pitiful appearance of holding a little white flower, there were young ladies around her who were good friends, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but come over to help her speak.
"Mu Qing, what do you think is so great about you being the third imperial concubine? How can you bully others! ”
Mu Wan was the first to speak, and she still wanted to brush up her favorability with Shen Shuang'er.
Who knew that Shen Shuang'er didn't pay much attention to her, but just squeezed out a few tears in her red eyes.
It's really as if Mu Qing bullied her!
"Mu Qing, why did you make Miss Shen cry!"
Mu Wan deliberately said it loudly, attracting the attention of the people around her, and everyone was condemning Mu Qing for being too harsh and bullying.
"Originally, I just wanted to remind Miss Shen that this dress was a little defective, but since Miss Shen said that this is not my clothes, it must be that I admitted my mistake, and I apologize to Miss Shen."
After that, Mu Qing didn't twist, gently helped his body, and after saying sorry, he left.
Shen Shuang'er didn't expect Mu Qing to admit his mistake so quickly, he was slightly stunned, and when he saw that the other party was really decisive, he laughed secretly in his heart This is just a paper tiger, and he got on the sedan chair and went to the venue.
There were still tears in her eyes, and she almost arrived with Kiyoshi one after the other.
When the Queen Mother saw her like this, she naturally asked.
"Shen girl, what's wrong, why are your eyes red? But being bullied? ”
Mu Qing only sat beside Bai Lichen with a cold face, how could she not know about Shen Shuang'er's trick?
Hmph, in modern society, the supporting actress in every book will do such a trick.
"It's okay, the Queen Mother, it's just that there was a misunderstanding with the Third Imperial Concubine at the gate of the palace."
Hearing this, the people at the banquet focused their eyes on Mu Qing's body, and so did Bai Lichen.
He was a little curious about what happened to his concubine.
"What misunderstanding?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was already frowning and looking very unhappy.
"The third princess recognized the wrong clothes and mistakenly thought it was hers, so I explained a few words to the third princess."
As soon as Shen Shuang'er finished saying this, someone continued to speak.
"The Queen Mother, the courtiers have just seen it, these three imperial concubines are so big-tempered, they actually asked Miss Shen in front of so many people if she stole her clothes."
Seeing that most of the people were helping Shen Shuang'er, Mu Qing was not angry, she still had a decent smile on her face.
Bai Lichen originally wanted to say something - after all, the dress on Shen Shuang'er's body was really exactly the same as the drawings that Mu Qing showed him before.
For the childhood sweethearts who grew up together, Bailichen still has a little bit of friendship, but he didn't expect that Shen Shuang'er would be such a person.
"Since I admit my mistake, I'll compensate my sister, I haven't slept well in the past few days and nights, and I'm a little irritable, and I ask my sister not to be surprised."
"Imperial grandmother, these days, the retainers have always coughed at night, and Qing'er is taking care of me, and I ask the imperial grandmother not to blame Qing'er."
Hearing Bai Lichen's nickname of Mu Qing, the emperor and the queen mother had a smile on their faces, while Shen Shuang'er clenched his hand slightly.
She couldn't see Bai Lichen and Mu Qing so close, and they still defended her like this!
Because of the anger in her heart, she used extra force when she sat down.
Who knew that this force didn't matter, I only heard the sound of the cloth tearing, and the fabric on the back was actually cracked a large piece!
Her face turned white in an instant, fortunately, the palace maid who was dressed on the side was a courageous one, and after the initial panic passed, she immediately wrapped Shen Shuang'er's body with a cloak, but this banquet was already a commotion.
"Which shop's clothes are these, how are they so fragile, and they almost caused Shen Yatou to have an accident!"
The Queen Mother was furious.
A good Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, how did it come to be like this.
"Hey, I didn't expect it, sister, you...... Sister, if only you had admitted it at the palace gate! ”
Mu Qing's eyes suddenly began to redden, and he even took a handkerchief out and wiped the corners of his eyes, looking guilty.
"What's wrong with the Third Imperial Princess?"
The emperor frowned slightly, today's banquet, this kind of atmosphere he didn't like very much.
"When I made this dress, I thought about taking it home and changing it because of some design defects on the back, and there were some pleats on the back of the dress, so that I could sew some flowing yarn pearls in the future."
Mu Qing looked at Shen Shuang'er, and the latter's eyes were full of horror.
"When I was at the palace gate just now, I wanted to remind my sister, but my sister didn'...... Hey, why bother, if my sister likes this dress, she can come to me generously, and I won't be reluctant to wear a single dress. ”
Mu Qing's grievances seemed to be really trying to persuade Shen Shuang'er.
Shen Shuang'er's heart jumped, thinking about the conversation at the gate of Fangcai Palace, knowing in her heart that she had fallen for Mu Qing's scheme.
When I looked up, sure enough, the Queen Mother stared at her gaze a little sharper, and she seemed to be very dissatisfied.
"Shen girl, what's going on, did you really rob the clothes of the third imperial concubine?"
With the word robbery, it can be seen that the Queen Mother's mood is already very bad.
The emperor was different, the person he was looking at was Lord Shen, the prime minister who was sitting near the third prince Bailichen, and now had cold sweat on his forehead.
For a while, the atmosphere at the banquet was different.
"I went to the ready-to-wear shop to get this dress, I really didn't know that this was the clothes of the three princesses, really, I can't help it......"
Shen Shuang'er's defense at this time seemed miserable and weak, the Queen Mother didn't want to embarrass the Shen family, but she had no interest in continuing to mess around with the juniors here, and only waved her hand.
"That's it, Shen girl, you can pay attention in the future, the mourning family is also lacking, this banquet, the mourning family will not continue to stay, the emperor will be happy."
The Queen Mother was obviously annoyed, and was supported by her personal grandmother and left the main hall of the family banquet.
Shen Shuang'er knew that she was in trouble, so she only looked at Mu Qing hatefully, and when she noticed Bai Lichen's intentional or unintentional gaze, she raised her little white face again, looking even more pitiful.
And the leader of everything, Mu Qing, under the cover of the veil, showed a sly chuckle.
