Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Second Son of the Dong Family
I don't know if Bai Lichen was a little uneasy about Mu Qing doing this time, so in the past few days, when he talked to Mu Qing, his face inevitably became a little colder.
Mu Qing felt a little aggrieved in her heart, after all, if she hadn't been to help Bai Lichen, she would never have done such a thing.
Don't look at her volunteering, but she is very sorry for her life, I originally thought that Bai Lichen would think of some of her own benefits, but I didn't expect it to make him more and more cold.
"Niangniang, don't be stinky, this is the banquet at General Dong's house, General Dong rarely returns to the capital from the northern territory, the emperor naturally attaches great importance to it, and General Dong's sister is also the concubine of the former emperor, and she helped ......the emperor back then."
Mama Chen is older, so she naturally knows a little about the past, and she carefully told her in Mu Qing's ear about the origin of General Dong's current emperor, naturally hoping that Mu Qing would not provoke the Dong family.
"I know Mama Chen, won't Your Highness go today?"
originally thought that a high-ranking official like the Dong family, even if Bai Lichen didn't like General Dong's personality, he would definitely not make a mistake, but now there was only Mu Qing in the carriage.
"The eldest daughter of the Dong family has a discordant relationship with Chen Guifei in the palace, so even the relationship between His Royal Highness the Third Prince and General Dong is a little different, don't worry about it, there is nothing big to worry about."
Compared with Xin'er, Mama Chen was a little calmer, so Mu Qing was also at ease.
The Dong family is still the first time Mu Qing came, Baili Country advocates both civil and military, and General Dong has two daughters and a son.
The eldest daughter Dong Zhuer married into the palace and became Concubine Dong, and her only son served in Dali Temple, so Mu Qing naturally couldn't see it.
And this little daughter, the same age as Mu Qing, heard that she had sneaked to the north to play before, and now she was just captured by General Dong.
Although Bai Lichen did not come, General Dong, a military attaché, obviously did not have the kind of mind to repay the court, but he did not embarrass Mu Qing, politely entertained, and respectfully called the third princess.
Shen Shuang'er, as the daughter of the Shen family, naturally came.
Mu Qing's opponent happened to be sitting Chu Xuanling, who was also a military attache like General Dong, so it was not surprising that he appeared here.
"The third princess looks good."
"So is General Chu."
When the two of them met, they were not so embarrassed, and after a few polite greetings, they went to their respective seats.
"Third sister-in-law!"
To Mu Qing's surprise, Bai Lichen didn't come here, but Bai Lihong came.
It stands to reason that if the relationship between the Dong family and his mother is not good, he should not appear here.
"Why are you here?"
Mu Qing lowered his voice.
"I heard that Dong Shu'er was captured from the north, so I naturally wanted to come and see her jokes."
Bai Lihong shook the folding fan in his hand, but he looked like a young man.
This fate is also wonderful, the relationship between Concubine Dong and Concubine Chen Guifei is not good, but the relationship between Bailihong and Dong Shuer is so close, the two of them look like friends.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, a delicate female voice came from the other end.
"Bailihong, who are you talking about!"
This Dong Shu'er was wearing a cool riding suit, and walked directly into the lobby without any taboos, Mu Qing looked at General Dong above, and his face was as black as charcoal.
"Why are you so unruly, how can you be so rude to His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes! And didn't I tell the people to change your dress, why are you still wearing these! ”
Mrs. Dong's face changed, she scolded her little daughter a few words, and then Dong Shu'er was reluctantly arrested.
"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, everyone, I really laughed, the little daughter is stubborn, don't blame you."
It is naturally impossible for everyone not to give General Dong this face, but those families with school-age children can't help but think about it, even if it is for the power of the Dong family, marrying such a girl and going back, whether they can afford it.
"Uncle Dong is so polite to me." Bailihong doesn't care.
His position was above Mu Qing, and the two of them naturally had something to say.
It's just that this fell in Shen Shuang'er's eyes, and it was a bit dazzling.
She once wanted to get close to Bailichen through Bailihong without losing a beating, but Bailihong was unmoved by her overtures, but she didn't expect to take the initiative to get close to Mu Qing now.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little unwilling in her heart, raised her hand to call the maid beside her, whispered something, and the maid went down.
The banquet was just some polite words, but General Dong praised Bai Lichen very much between his words, and seemed to be very optimistic about Bai Lichen after his physical recovery.
If it weren't for the bitterness of the two families, maybe General Dong would be on the side of the three princes......
Mu Qing secretly remembered this, and walked to the garden behind with the women.
Among the female dependents, she and Mrs. Dong have the most noble status, so they are naturally at the forefront.
"Have you just seen it, this third princess is looking at the Nine Emperor Princesses in the back."
"Yes, I heard that some time ago, when His Royal Highness the Third Prince was in bad health, His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor ran to the Three Princes' Mansion every day, who knows if the two of them are ......"
There were the voices of a few young ladies talking behind her, and Mrs. Dong glanced back with warning eyes, and the young ladies closed their mouths.
But everyone looked at Mu Qing with a little disdain in their eyes, as if she really had an affair with the Nine Emperor Princes.
Mrs. Dong didn't care, but continued to talk to Mu Qing about the daily things at home.
"A little further on, there's a place to enjoy the flowers......"
Mrs. Dong said this, and was about to turn around from behind the rockery, but Mu Qing saw a man running away through the gap in the rockery, and she keenly sensed that something was wrong.
"Mrs. Dong."
Mu Qing stopped Mrs. Dong in front of him, shook his head slightly, and then turned around with a different expression.
"I suddenly remembered that I was a little allergic to the peach blossoms, although I heard that the peach blossoms on General Dong's mansion were blooming just right, but I guess I can't watch it, why don't you go to the lotus pond to see how it is."
Suddenly saying such a thing made all the young ladies a little surprised, Mrs. Dong felt a little strange in her heart, but thinking of Mu Qing's expression, I was afraid that it was to help her, so she also nodded.
"I just found someone to buy a koi fish a few days ago, but it took a lot of effort, I don't know if this golden carp will come out to see the sun when I see you ladies today."
All the young ladies are young, and this golden carp is much more attractive to them than a peach blossom, and no one cares what this Mu Qing wants to do for a while.
When the banquet was about to end, Mrs. Dong personally sent Mu Qing out, and she knew what had just happened.
"Thank you to the Third Imperial Concubine for saving her life, it turned out that our little girl was stunned by the maid with two hearts around her, and she was almost slighted by the disciples.
If Miss Fang Cai and his wife went in and saw her disheveled, the girl would not be able to marry in this life, but fortunately, the third imperial concubine helped a lot. ”
Mrs. Dong grabbed Mu Qing's hand and thanked her again and again, but Mu Qing felt that it was nothing.
She has always been unaccustomed to this kind of person, and Mu Wan has used this kind of trick to frame her many times before, presumably this time this time this man also bought off the maid and wanted to frame Miss Dong's reputation.
After all, although this Dong Shu'er looks a little naughty and lively, in fact, behind it is the entire Dong family, as long as a man marries Dong Shu'er, this Dong family is also his backer.
If it weren't for the fact that the prince already had a crown princess, he would not have let go of this little girl from the Dong family.
However, Mrs. Dong didn't say who the man who despised her own girl was, and she must have been a little wary of Mu Qing.
However, news came out on the second day, saying that General Dong's cousin came to take refuge, but he stretched out his hand to the maid beside the master, and was finally driven out with the maid.
She naturally knew who that man really was.
However, through this incident, she has become a lot closer to Dong Shuer.
Dong Shu'er is a cool girl, she is not restrained when she sees Mu Qing, but she is a little likable, but she often comes to the Three Princes' Mansion to play, but she is cold to Bai Lichen, but she looks a little cold.
Bai Lichen doesn't care about this kind of little girl, he is still busy preparing to catch the murderer.
Even with Mu Qing's help, everything still needs to be arranged, and it can't be done right away.
"By the way, Sister Mu, I heard that the third prince has been busy catching the murderer recently?" One day, when the two of them were eating tea in the courtyard, Dong Shuer suddenly talked about this case.
"My second brother is also in charge of this matter! But don't worry, my second brother will definitely solve the case faster than the third prince. ”
The eldest son of the Dong family?
Mu Qing recalled for a moment, it seemed that she had heard Mama Chen say this name, but she definitely hadn't seen it, or she had only seen it a few times from afar at various banquets.
At the banquet of the Dong family before, this eldest prince did not come back, after all, this unsolved case in the capital, Long Yan was furious, and he was naturally busy with official business.
"By the way, Sister Mu hasn't seen my brother yet, he works in Dali Temple, and he is in charge of these difficult cases, and even the emperor has praised him several times."
Speaking of this, Dong Shuer's face was full of pride and pride, and she seemed to worship her brother very much.
"His name is Dong Yunshu, I don't know if Sister Mu has heard this name or not......"
Mu Qing shook her head, the little girl was a little disappointed, but after a while, she cheered up again.
"In that case, I may not have seen my second brother for a long time, let's go to Dali Temple to find him together."
Before he could react to refuse, Mu Qing had already been pulled out by Dong Shu'er.
Originally, Dali Temple was not allowed to come and go at will, but Dong Yunshu was too famous in Dali Temple, everyone knew his sister, and Mu Qing's identity did not stop him.
