Chapter 31: Clothes are robbed
After Gonggong Afu returned to the palace, he told the emperor about the appearance of Mu Qing and the three princes, and the prince was naturally happy.
My favorite son has been sick for so many years, and his health has gradually improved, if it weren't for the fact that the Mu family is just a family of four-grade officials, he would have given Mu Qing the identity of his life.
"Ah Fu, look at what the three imperial concubines look like."
Ah Fu has been serving the emperor for many years, how can he not understand the meaning of the emperor's question.
I want to see if this third imperial concubine Mu Qing is a reliable person.
"The old slave looks, these three princesses are really a good person, I think that at the beginning, when I married into the Three Princes' mansion, these three princes were lying in bed every day, and the slaves didn't believe in any lucky stars or anything like that, presumably it was the Three Imperial Concubines who took care of them closely, and the three princes could recover."
It is worthy of the old man next to the emperor, and when these words came out, the wrinkles on the emperor's face suddenly relaxed.
"It's the same, no matter what, the three imperial concubines are all good, and after a few days of banquets in the palace, let the third child also come, bring his concubine, and come to the palace together, which will also add joy."
Ah Fu's father-in-law agreed with a smile, and then sent his apprentice to the concubine and the queen to inform him.
He believed that he was right, these three princes were definitely not simple characters!
The banquet in the palace that the emperor said was the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet seven days later, and the family banquet in the palace was also a big day, and it was the queen mother who devoted herself to worshipping the Buddha every day, and she would not be absent from such banquets.
"The slave maid also heard that the people who can go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet are all characters with heads and faces!" Carefully inserted the last hairpin on the Liuyun hairpin on Mu Qing's head, and there was a hint of relief in his heart's words, "In the past, even the master could not go to the palace family banquet." ”
Mu Qing only smiled slightly.
"My father is a fourth-grade official, so naturally he can't go, and if he can go to a family banquet, if he is not a relative of the emperor, he is a first-class official, and then he is a second-grade official with a special status."
For example, I had Princess Huyang's concubine before.
"Then this time the young lady was personally ordered by the emperor to enter the palace with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, isn't it a great honor!"
Hearing this, Xin'er's face showed even greater joy.
Others will be happy when they hear the news, but Mu Qing can't be happy, she looks at herself in the mirror, and the weak girl who trembled in the small broken house at the beginning, now she has slowly had the demeanor and majesty of the third imperial concubine.
It also means that you have to bear the dangers brought about by the identity of the third princess.
The banquet must also be full of dangers.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, life here was not as simple as she thought, but Mu Qing had never been a person who gave in easily.
The silver is gone, and she can earn it again, and she has a way to do it.
The news of going to the palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet was spread by people in the palace in the morning, and in the afternoon, it was Bai Lichen who came to find Mu Qing by himself.
It was noon when he came, and Mu Qing didn't have the habit of taking a nap, but he also held a book and began to doze off slightly.
In fact, she prefers embroidery to books, and she has always loved tinkering with these gadgets before she has crossed over.
But now she has come to a strange world, and the fastest way to get more information about her surroundings is to find it from books.
"Why, are you starting to get sleepy so early?"
Bai Lichen came in from outside, and what he saw was Mu Qing, whose eyelids were about to close.
However, where could Mu Qing still sleep, and when she saw her face, which she was a little reluctant to see on weekdays, she suddenly became energetic.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince......"
She got up and saluted, but when she looked up, she saw Bai Lichen's slightly frowning brow.
Mu Qing felt a little puzzled, what was going on with this person, why did he just make a salute, he looked so angry?
Is it because she is not thoughtful enough? But when the teaching grandmother in the palace came before, she studied really seriously.
Just when Mu Qing was still wandering in his heart, Bai Lichen over there had already come over and stood up holding Mu Qing's hand.
"Why are you doing all this nonsense with me?"
He liked the little girl's flamboyant appearance, and some regretted that he really invited her to teach her to come over.
Originally, I thought in my heart, I invited Mama to teach, she understood some rules, and she would not be ridiculed by everyone because of the rules.
Mu Qing's eyes blinked quite slyly when everyone couldn't see them.
How could she not see that Bai Lichen didn't like her appearance, but she had already suffered the hardship of teaching Mama, so there was no reason not to show her learning results, right?
"Have you prepared the clothes for the banquet in the palace that day? If you need anything, just tell me, the banquet doesn't have to be too nervous, originally my father called you and me into the palace together, presumably just to make the imperial grandmother happy. ”
The emperor is well-known for his filial piety, so naturally the queen mother is so happy that she came.
Hearing Bai Lichen ask about clothes, Mu Qing's heart was slightly annoyed.
She really didn't think that she was just custom-made a piece of clothing, but it was also worth the fanfare of those people to make things difficult for her.
Mu Qing went to the store with Xin'er to pick up the clothes in person.
"I'm sorry, Miss, because of the negligence of the store, the clothes that were ordered for you before have been given to other people's Mrs. Miss, if you don't suggest it, the store promises to send the finished clothes to Miss's house next month."
The shopkeeper looked at Mu Qinghe and Xin'er, and the idea of being cheap in his heart did not fade for a long time.
These two people are obviously two fat sheep, and at first glance, their identity and status are not very high, so he naturally wants to seize this opportunity to cheat them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished saying this, the face of the person in front of him turned half cold, and he seemed to be very disgusted with his ability to steer the rudder in the wind.
"I won't buy your clothes."
After leaving this sentence, Mu Qing left the embroidery room, originally thinking that the dress that had been ordered before had been rushed to work, but he didn't expect to be so ruthlessly pitted now.
Later, I had to continue to find dresses in other stores, and finally bought this outfit, which can be regarded as pink and delicate, and it is cute.
……
This really made me angry, and then I had to go to other homes and buy a random dress, but unfortunately it was not as attractive as the "neon dress" I made before. ”
After that, he put the drawings he had drawn before in front of Bailichen.
Bai Lichen's eyes moved slightly, this Mu Qing was originally a famous vase in the capital, but his face was just better-looking, but he didn't expect that he still had the ability to design clothes.
Glancing at the drawings in front of him, the dress called 'Ni Shang' painted on it was really unique, and he could almost imagine how amazing Mu Qing would be if he wore this warm orange dress.
"This dress was given by mistake, but it can also be taken back, why the lady and young lady of that family still accepted it with such a clear conscience, it is really surprising."
Putting the drawings back on the table, Bai Lichen sneered.
How could he not guess that this so-called lady and young lady were either clearly aimed at Mu Qing.
glanced at Mu Qing, who was sitting opposite her, she still had a little regretful expression on her face, and she was babbling about the benefits of 'Ni Dress', how much she liked this skirt, which was completely different from when she looked at herself and avoided it in the past.
"I also know that my princess just wants me to help her out of this bad breath, which is why it is rare to say so many things to me."
Bai Lichen said this with a smile, but Mu Qing's expression suddenly froze.
"The third prince, what are you talking about, the concubine is just depressed, so she just complained to the third prince, if His Royal Highness doesn't like to hear it, I won't say it."
It is not a happy thing for the thoughts in his heart to be exposed, so Mu Qing had to awkwardly bring the topic to another person.
That's the action of the queen and the crown prince.
At this family banquet, if they learned that Bai Lichen and himself were going to participate, it would be absolutely impossible for these two people to do nothing.
Surely they will try to get rid of them.
"You can follow me then, I will arrange a maid for you, she will help you distinguish whether the food at this banquet is poisonous or not, you don't act at will."
Mu Qing nodded, but at this time she was rare and well-behaved, although she liked silver, she didn't want to lose her life casually.
After all, silver has to be spent in a fateful way, isn't it?
Seeing that the other party was so well-behaved, Bai Lichen's heart was very satisfied.
Although he didn't say it on his face, he already thought in his heart that this time would help Mu Qing.
In fact, the one who robbed the wood cleaning material was the prime minister's daughter, that is, Shen Shuang'er, who was a childhood sweetheart with the third prince Bailichen since childhood.
The owner of this ready-to-wear store naturally did not dare not sell the face of the prime minister's family.
That's why he said that the material was accidentally sent to the wrong place, and he prevaricated Mu Qing.
Although she is the third princess, in terms of identity and status, she is still inferior to the powerful prime minister.
Not to mention that the owner of the ready-to-wear store didn't want to offend Shen Shuang'er, and she didn't want to face it head-on, but she still had a breath in her heart, so she told Bai Lichen about it.
If Bailichen can help himself, it will naturally be the best.
"I always felt like he wouldn't do it......"
On the way back to his bedroom from the study, Mu Qing was supported by Xin'er, and couldn't help muttering two sentences, almost tripping over the stone on the side, but fortunately, Xin'er had great strength and caught her in time.
"My mother, you can pay attention to the road at your feet, what should you do if you fall!"
Xin'er looked at Mu Qing in horror, but the latter was obviously still thinking about Fang Cai's affairs.
She could feel that Bai Lichen treated herself differently, so she gradually revealed her true side in front of him.
Bai Lichen seemed to close his heart and didn't say anything.
She couldn't guess what the man was thinking.
