Chapter VI

Although the Mu family closed the door under Mu Qingling's instructions, the news of Mu Qingling's return to the Mu family could not be hidden, and those who wanted to take the opportunity to go to Mu Fu to pull a relationship or inquire about the situation could not be stopped. Mu Qingling only asked Mu Zheng to put all of them aside first, and then make plans when she had tidied up the inner courtyard, but there was one person's post, Mu Zheng didn't dare to stop it, and handed it over to Mu Qingling, and Mu Qingling was also surprised.

"The Easy King?!" Mu Qingling looked at the prayer note in her hand and was shocked for a while, and asked, "Where are the people?" Mu Zheng hurriedly said: "The little master has been invited to the flower hall, Miss don't panic, the little prince lived in the house for a period of time last year, and got along very well with the master. ”

Hearing Mu Zheng say this, Mu Qingling felt a little relieved, and hurriedly ordered someone to change her clothes.

The name of Xiao Lanzhuo, the king of freedom, had heard of it as early as in the capital. Xiao Lanwei is the younger brother of the current saint's mother's compatriot, and he was just three years old when the saint ascended the throne, and he was not as old as the eldest son of the saint. King Xiaoyao grew up in the inner palace since he was a child, and he was loved by the queen mother, and the emperor's eldest brother also had a lot of favor for him.

Xiao Lanwei doesn't love the career economy, is intoxicated with landscapes and immersed in poetry and books, and has a flamboyant and informal personality.

A year ago, King Xiaoyao performed a crown ceremony, and the emperor and queen mother wanted to point him a princess. The queen mother took the queen to select the nobles in Beijing, and felt that this was beautiful and knowledgeable; That rare talent, temperament Rulan, is very good anyway, I can't wait to marry Xiao Lanwei home. All in all, the queen simply took the lead in organizing a hundred flowers banquet, and the daughters of the noble courtiers above the fourth grade in Beijing received invitations as long as they were of the right age.

During that time, the cars of the wealthy families in the capital were endless, all of which were for the daughters of each family, preparing to dominate the crowd at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

The Jingyong Mansion naturally received the invitation, but there were seven young ladies in the Jingyong Mansion who had not left the cabinet, and only the young lady of the big house and Mu Qingling were qualified to go there. Mu Qingling remembered the past and couldn't help but sneer again, on the eve of the banquet, Xu came to her room to see her, and instructed her earnestly, after Xu left, the window in her room was open for some reason, in the capital in early spring, the night wind blew like a knife, and she got hot in the middle of the night, and naturally failed to go to the banquet the next day. In the end, the old lady had to take Yu Mei, the eldest lady of the big house, and Yu Xiao, the second daughter of the Xu family, into the palace to receive the banquet

At that time, it was just that the subordinates were careless, and the Xu family also had a hard attack, if it wasn't for her protection, even the cloud bridge would have been sent down by the Xu family. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that it is Xu's plan to kill two birds with one stone, which not only makes her unable to go to the palace for a banquet, but also replaces all the people around her with hers, so that she has completely become a caged bird, and every move is in Xu's eyes.

Xiao Lanwei became very famous in Beijing because of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, not because he became attached to a certain lady because of the banquet, but because of this Hundred Flowers Banquet, he offended the ladies of the various prefectures in Beijing.

At the beginning of the banquet, the queen intended to test the young ladies, and she also had the heart to let Xiao Lanhuan look at each other, so she asked Xiao Lanhuan who was present to ask questions and test the young ladies present. The ladies have been waiting for this for a long time, and they want to leave a deep impression in the heart of the little prince and achieve a good story.

Who knew that Xiao Lanwei agreed, turned his head and asked the little yellow door next to him to go to the imperial dining room to catch a few big oily and slippery roosters, and let the young lady present compose a poem on the theme of roosters.

It's hard for the delicate ladies present, these people are usually thousands of delicate and expensive in various prefectures, and few have really seen this live chicken. What's more, on weekdays, people chant poems and paint, writing about the moon in the water, painting flowers in the mirror, and now they are suddenly asked to take the rooster as the theme, and many people look at the rooster pacing majestically in the open space, and they can't put down the pen halfway.

It's okay here, at most it can't be written, and it's not a big deal. But the bad thing is that in the royal garden where the banquet is held, there are also a few cats for the amusement of the nobles, these cats are all from the outside world, all of them are long-haired and blue-eyed, smart and lively. On weekdays, he is most loved by the concubines in the palace.

Where can this cat see these roosters moving in front of his eyes? Jumping out of the flowers on the side and getting on the paws, the rooster was already aggressive, and when he saw the cat scratching it, he was not timid, and he blew up his neck hair and the cat, and jumped on the table of this young lady for a while, and jumped on the young lady for a while. This imperial garden suddenly became lively, and the ladies didn't have time to hide, and they didn't care about their image.

With the screams of the imperial garden, the guards in the palace thought that they had entered the assassins, and they surrounded the place where the banquet was held and drew their swords. The guards saw that there were a few animals in the field, and hurriedly stepped forward to catch them, and the little prince on the main seat did not forget to shout a command, don't hurt their lives.

The good Hundred Flowers Banquet became a big havoc in the Imperial Garden, and the queen was so angry that her eyes were spent, and she forced herself to appease the frightened ladies of the various mansions, and instructed people to send people back well, and when she returned to the Hall of Mercy and Grace with the little prince, she would take the thorns to clean up Xiao Lanwei.

The Yun family, the queen's mother, has been emperors for generations, and the current head of the Yun family, the old man Yunji, is a great Confucian who has taught three generations of emperors. Queen Yun is his granddaughter, taught by Yun Ji since childhood, the little prince has been raised in the palace since childhood, Queen Yun is the eldest sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law enters the mother, the little prince is stubborn from time to time, and the queen of Yun is also like the old man Yun, who loves Jing Tiao to serve. Xiao Lanwei has a flamboyant personality since she was a child, and she has not been punished by this less, and when she saw her imperial sister-in-law take this out, she turned around and was about to slip away.

The little prince was chased out of the Hall of Mercy and Grace by the people around the queen, and ran headlong into the emperor who was coming here, and was taken back to the Hall of Mercy by the emperor by the collar. The emperor and queen were young couples, and they had a deep relationship along the way, and when they saw that this little skin monkey made the queen's face white, they hurriedly asked the reason, and learned about the good things that Xiao Lanhuan had done, and without saying a word, they punished Xiao Lanhuan to kneel in the Taimiao, and they were not allowed to come out for three days.

Although the little prince made a mess in the imperial garden, the queen also felt that he should be punished, but the temple was cloudy and cold, and he was not allowed to kneel to the futon, and the emperor's voice just fell, the queen was distressed, but the emperor's words were holy decrees, and the queen saw that the little prince was escorted into the temple, and went to intercede with the queen mother on the second day.

Later, it is unknown how the nobles in the palace discussed, but it is known that the little prince knelt in the temple all night, but he got a holy decree that allowed him to marry independently. The prosperity of the holy grace can be seen.

Mu Qingling's impression of Xiao Lanhuan was only the chaos of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but at this time, she suddenly received a letter from this person, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart. Entering the flower hall, Mu Qingling saw a white-clothed boy standing in front of a calligraphy and painting on the wall in the hall with his back hand, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Mu Qingling, the folk girl, has seen the prince." ”

"Hurry up, please." This long-bodied and jade-standing son is none other than Xiao Lanhuan, the king of leisure, Xiao Lanhuan immediately turned around when he heard the sound and helped Mu Qingling up. When Mu Qingling got up, Xiao Lanling saw Mu Qingling clearly, because in filial piety, even if he met Xiao Lanling, the prince of the dynasty, Mu Qingling was also plain white and not decorated with pearls, but this hindered Xiao Lanling was amazed, Xiao Lanling was a prince, grew up in the inner palace, and was used to seeing the splendid paving beauties sweeping the streets, and sighed in surprise, naturally it was not Mu Qingling's superb beauty that was clearly carved out of hibiscus and naturally carved out, but Mu Qingling's eyebrows were sad with tenacity, and there were red marks in the corners of her eyes. The whole person is as dashing as a bamboo, obviously a typical Jiangnan woman's body and appearance, giving Xiao Lanwei the feeling, but like a green bamboo in the forest, although swaying in the wind, but indomitable, when necessary, it will be as sharp as a sword.

Xiao Lanhuan suppressed the feelings in her heart and said to Mu Qingling: "This king bothered in the house for a period of time a few years ago, and Master Mu and this king have a friendship of half a teacher. "Xiao Lanhuan is just past the weak crown now, thin and tall, with a fair face and a green face, but his eyebrows have begun to take shape. It is conceivable that in a few years, the name of the King of Freedom will be the dream of many boudoir girls. He is a member of the royal family, and his gestures are courteous but extravagant. The words were full of affinity, which made Mu Qingling lose her previous nervousness.

Mu Qingling hung her head and couldn't see Xiao Lanhuan's appearance, she could only see Xiao Lanhuan's hands holding her weakly, the bones were distinct, slender and clean, they were a pair of beautiful hands, Mu Qingling thought of such a pair of hands for a moment, but it was quite worthy of the phoenix tail in her room.

"Senior sister?" Xiao Lanwei saw that Mu Qingling was a little distracted, and shouted softly. Mu Qingling came back to her senses, subconsciously looked up at Xiao Lanhuan, and after reacting to what she was thinking just now, her face turned red instantly, and she hurriedly took a step back, and said: "The prince forgives the sin, the little girl shook her head, and she didn't mean to treat the prince slowly." ”

Xiao Lanwei withdrew his hand, his eyes were like stars, he was already very good-looking, and now with a three-point smile, it is even more intriguing, "Senior sister don't need to panic, I don't like to pay attention to these false courtesies, and junior sister doesn't have to be stubborn." Mu people Xianyou, I specially came to mourn, can my sister lead me to a pillar of incense for Mu people first? ”

Mu Qingling only felt that she didn't have the usual neatness in front of Xiao Lanhuan, and she was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "It should be like this, Lord Wang, please." ”

Because he came to Mufu, Xiao Lanwei deliberately wore a moon-white shirt, clean and decorated with sundries. At this time, he stood tall in front of the spirit, and the cold spirit hall was a little more noble. Mu Qingling took the incense in Xiao Lanhuan's hand, inserted it into the incense burner, bowed down and returned Xiao Lanhuan's salute, and said, "The little girl thanked the prince for her father. ”

Xiao Lanxuan looked at Mu Jiangxuan's tablet and said softly: "At the beginning, I traveled all over the world and saw many famous Confucians, but because of this supreme prince, few people can talk to each other. Mu Da is highly talented, not because I am a member of the royal family, I only abide by the courtesy, I have a good conversation with him, although I have always said that he is my half-teacher, in fact, it is more like a good friend of the year. ”

Hearing Xiao Lanwei talk about his father, Mu Qingling also said: "My father often said that if he wasn't in the officialdom, he would definitely find a paradise, light boats, fishing on the river, cooking tea in the west window when it rains, and scalding wine in the snow pavilion." The prince can live in the prosperity of Beijing and travel all over the world, presumably with his father. ”

"It's not that I'm rampant, in my short half life, only Lord Mu can be regarded as a confidant. That's it, let's not talk about that. Mu Da Xianyou, now there is only a junior sister left in the house, can you still deal with it? Xiao Lanhuan turned to look at Mu Qingling and said, Xiao Lanhuan is more than seven feet tall, Mu Qingling is only up to his shoulders, the girl is already thin, and a filial piety dress is even more pitiful at this time. Xiao Lanwei felt compassion and said softly: "It is already difficult for women to establish a world, if there is any difficulty, you just have to say." Since I call you a senior sister, I should take care of you for Lord Mu, you don't have much heart, and don't shirk it, this is my friendship with your father, it is your father's legacy to you, you just have to bear it. ”

Mu Qingling has been reborn so far, and all she thinks about is how to rely on herself to support Mu Fu and take revenge. Every night I slept thinking about how to deal with those people with ulterior motives, and now when I heard Xiao Lanwei's words, my eyes were slightly hot, and my heart was much more relaxed, and she said, "The little girl understands, thank you Lord Wang." ”

Xiao Lanwei smiled and said: "It's still called the prince, why, don't you want to recognize my half apprentice for your father?" Mu Qingling raised her head and saw Xiao Lanlu's starry eyes, all of which were full of encouragement and comfort, and she was even more ironed in her heart, and said softly: "Then, thank you, senior brother." ”

"It's not easy to get your senior brother, even if you call this senior brother, you are willing to suffer again, take in the senior brother for a while, and wait for the funeral of Master Mu, I will leave." Xiao Lanling said, Mu Qingling knew that Xiao Lanling was afraid that she was young and lonely and bullied, and wanted to stay in the house to take care of her, so she didn't shirk it, and said: "Thanks to the love of my senior brother, Qingling doesn't dare to refuse." ”

Mu Qingling recruited Mu Zheng and asked him to lead Xiao Lanwei to the backyard. Because Xiao Lanhuan had lived in the Mu Mansion for a period of time before, he didn't have to bother arranging other courtyards, just cleaned up the previous guest house. Xiao Lanhuan followed Mu Zheng out, and before leaving the mourning hall, Xiao Lanhuan suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, junior sister......"

Mu Qingling raised her head, her eyes were like water, her face was like a hibiscus, and there was a hint of doubt between her eyebrows, Xiao Lanling smiled and teased: "What did you think about in the flower hall before?" ”

Mu Qingling was stunned for a moment, her cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and she was silent. Xiao Lanwei chuckled a few times, turned around and followed Mu Zheng out.
