Xiaofu helped Mu Ningxuan to sit down in front of the makeup mirror.

Mu Ningxuan said lightly: "Just comb your hair in a simple bun." ”

"Yes."

Xiaofu combed Mu Ningxuan with a double-ring bun, inserted a pale pink beaded flower on the double-ring bun, and picked a cross-collared light pink Confucian skirt embroidered with begonia flowers, and a white cloak on the outside, which was simple and not tacky.

The Empress Dowager instructed the imperial dining room to place lunch in the main hall.

Mu Ningxuan pinched the Cining Palace that she had pointed.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the palace, Aunt Su, who was beside the Queen Mother, immediately greeted her and said with a smile: "The county lord, you are finally here, and the Queen Mother is waiting." ”

Mu Ningxuan smiled and said: "Thinking that the Queen Mother hasn't seen the sixth brother for a long time, she must have a lot to say, so she came late." ”

"The county lord is intimate, no wonder our queen mother loves you." Aunt Su led Mu Ningxuan across the threshold and into the main hall.

At the top of the main hall sat the Queen Mother, and on the left sat a man about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a light blue collared long robe with clear eyebrows.

Mu Ningxuan knelt down and saluted the Queen Mother, and said, "Xuan'er is late, please punish the Queen Mother." “

The Queen Mother was in a good mood today, her face was full of glory, and she said with a smile: "Xuan'er doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly, meet your sixth brother, he rarely comes to the palace, I will leave him to finish lunch and go back." “

"Sixth brother is good." Mu Ningxuan made a blessing to the six princes.

The sixth prince hurriedly stood up, a flush flashed on his face, and he saluted: "Sister Xuan is good." ”

"Okay, you're welcome, sit down, the imperial dining room has prepared a few delicious side dishes today, let's try them together." Aunt Su helped the Queen Mother to the dining table, and Mu Ningxuan and the six princes sat on both sides of the Queen Mother.

"Little Liu, what did you gain from going on the expedition with Xuan'er's father Mu Houye this time?" The Queen Mother looked at the six princes gently and asked.

The sixth prince put down the chopsticks in his hand and said in a muffled voice: "Back to the emperor's grandmother, my father only let me and the fifth brother follow General Mu this time, and did not go to the battlefield in person. But we saw Mu Houye personally arranging troops in the tent every day, and we also benefited a lot. ”

The Queen Mother nodded, and said: "First hear and see, and then practice, in order to get twice the result with half the effort, you have to ask Mu Hou Ye more when you have time." ”

"Emperor Xie's grandmother taught, Xiaoliu knows."

The Queen Mother turned her head to Mu Ningxuan and smiled: "Xuan'er, your sixth brother is used to being honest on weekdays, and you mention it to your father more in your family book, so you don't have to let your sixth brother be bullied." ”

The sixth prince blushed instantly: "Imperial grandmother, I am a dignified seven-foot man, how can I be bullied, I don't have to let Sister Xuan's family letter bring words." ”

"Your sister Xuan is not an outsider, Mu Hou Ye knows the measure, and he will not make people laugh." The Queen Mother looked at the six princes and smiled lovingly.

In the previous life, Mu Ningxuan didn't take this matter to heart what the Queen Mother said, after her mother went, she rarely wrote family letters, so she didn't take this matter to heart, now that she thinks about it, she feels very strange, why did the Queen Mother let her mention the six princes in her family letter, is it just because the Queen Mother has raised the six princes for three years and has deep feelings?

The biological mother of the six princes is the virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine died early, the seven-year-old sixth prince was raised under the knees of the queen mother for three years, and then raised under the queen's mother for four years, and at the age of fourteen, he established a mansion and called himself.

Because the six princes are more introverted, self-contained, and have no ambitions, the official family has always been indifferent to him, and he is also the prince who is least considered by the courtiers to have the possibility of succession, so the prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince are much less wary of him.
