Chapter 703: Purple Magnolia
Murong Hui didn't know why the eldest princess would target her, but she had already made sufficient preparations, so she didn't care about the eldest princess's painless trouble.
After she handed the hoe to Mama Huang, she stepped over the ridge in a few steps and walked to the side to watch the excitement.
This was what Murong An and Murong Ning were going to do, and she only needed to help from the side.
The eldest princess reluctantly pinched the hoe and shoveled it twice, then stood aside and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.
The others also made a few symbolic shovels, and the steward of the Huangzhuang introduced a few farm tools, and the farming festival came to an end.
Although there are difficulties for the eldest princess, there are no twists and turns in the end, and it ends plainly.
"Hui'er, Mu Xiu today, if you have nothing to do, why don't you go to King Ling's Mansion with me, my mother has always wanted to see you."
At this time, King Ling suddenly came over and said with a faint smile in front of everyone.
Murong Hui looked up at King Ling, he said this in front of so many people, if Murong Hui didn't agree, it would be too rude, so she had to nod.
"There is an old lady Lao who is worried, but Hui'er has to assist in palace affairs, so she must return to the palace before dark."
She can't say no, but at least she can shirk it, wait a while, if she can, she doesn't want to step into King Ling's Mansion even half a step.
"Okay, then go back with me."
King Ling nodded, as if he had long thought that Murong Hui would say this.
Murong Ning watched Murong Hui leave with some concern, and wanted to step forward to stop him, but unfortunately today he and Murong An are the protagonists, and now they are surrounded by a group of people, and they can't get close to the two of them at all.
I had to watch Murong Hui being taken away by King Ling.
As the prince of King Ling, the carriage was naturally very spacious, and it was very spacious for at least six people.
Both of them were silent, who was Murong Hui who didn't know what to say, King Ling probably didn't want to say it, he would glance at Murong Hui from time to time, his eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.
This feeling made Murong Hui feel like she was on pins and needles, she really couldn't stand such an atmosphere, so she raised her head stiffly and asked, "I don't know what the old lady called me?" ”
"My mother likes you very much, but I can't often enter the palace to see you, last time I wanted to use her birthday banquet, to talk to you more, but you can't come when you are sick, she is very sorry, today happened to be free, so let you come to see her."
King Ling looked like a filial son, he was not in a hurry to speak, and there was a little smile on his face.
Murong Hui nodded, didn't say anything more, and the two quickly arrived at the gate of King Ling's mansion, and the carriage drove directly into the palace.
Murong Hui turned her head sideways and looked out through the gap in the car window.
She found that in just a few months, everything in King Ling's Mansion had changed dramatically.
Originally, in the flower beds of King Ling's Mansion, all the peonies were planted, and all the varieties in the palace could be found in the flower beds of King Ling's Mansion.
However, at this time, the flower beds were all purple magnolias, and now they were blooming just right, and the courtyard was full of faint purple flowers, trembling slightly in the wind, if it weren't for the pattern of the garden not changing, Murong Hui would have thought that they had gone to the wrong place.
"This is where my mother lives, go in by yourself, I have other things to do."
When King Ling saw the carriage stop, he glanced outside and said.
Murong Hui answered, and got out of the carriage with the support of Mama Huang.
After seeing the carriage leave, Murong Hui looked carefully at the courtyard in front of him.
The courtyard in front of him was on the easternmost side of the entire Ling Wang's Mansion, and it looked very remote, but when Murong Hui was brought into the courtyard, he found that the area of this courtyard was very large.
At least it was more than twice as big as the courtyard where Princess Ling lived where she had been before.
The grandmother who guided her was the same grandmother who came to give her supplements for the old lady Ling when she was sick before.
This grandmother still had a smile on her face, always a kind look, and Murong Hui faintly revealed a little disgust in her eyes.
Murong Hui stared at them vigilantly, not knowing what this grandmother meant.
She quietly followed everyone into the hall of Old Lady Ling, and saw two old ladies sitting in the hall.
The two were chatting happily, and when they saw Murong Hui coming in, they suddenly stopped and looked at Murong Hui.
Murong Hui was embarrassed to salute the old lady Ling, and then looked at the old lady next to her.
The old lady was obviously a woman, but she looked at her face and didn't know who she was.
"This is the old feudal monarch of the Hou Mansion, the old lady Feng."
Old Concubine Ling seemed to see Murong Hui's thoughts, smiled faintly, and introduced the two of them.
There are not many old ladies in the Hou Mansion surnamed Feng in this capital, and there is only one Murong Hui can think of, that is, the sister-in-law of the old lady Jing, Chu Huaining has grown up in her family since she was a child.
And now the young master of their family and Xu Rong are not clear, because Murong Hui has no good impression of this family.
However, she still saluted politely, and sat aside, quietly listening to the conversation between the two old ladies.
She also didn't know why the two old ladies called her over, they obviously had something to look for Murong Hui.
Murong Hui was not in a hurry, she just sat quietly next to her, and waited for half an hour before the two old ladies finally finished chatting.
"Your Highness, you probably don't know, I have a nephew who works in the Ship Division, and he occasionally brings some interesting things to honor me, and today I have picked a few things that you like at your age to give you,"
Old Concubine Ling chatted happily, as if she had just remembered Murong Hui, and said with a smile.
The grandmother next to her understood and quickly went to get something, and after a while, she walked back with this tray.
On this tray are several highly transparent rabbit ornaments that resemble glass.
Murong Hui had also seen a lot of things in the palace, and he had seen similar things sent by foreign envoys when they made offerings, and he knew that this kind of thing was called glass.
Rong Guo does not have such a process, so this thing is a little strange in Rong Guo.
"Thank you old lady, Hui'er likes this glass ornament very much."
Regardless of whether he was satisfied or not, since he had sent it, Murong Hui naturally got up politely and saluted, and accepted it with a smile on his face.
"If you like it, it's time for dinner, why don't you stay in the house and eat today?"
Old Concubine Ling glanced at the sky outside and said to Murong Hui.
Murong Hui hurriedly smiled: "I shouldn't have shirked, but now Hui'er still has to assist in palace affairs, so I really can't be free, and when I am free in the future, I will come to you again to eat." ”
Old Concubine Ling nodded, as if she was a little disappointed, but she didn't keep too much, and only let Mama personally send Murong Hui out.
Murong Hui felt that everything was happening inexplicably, but she didn't say anything, she just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, for some reason, she always felt uncomfortable staying in King Ling's Mansion.
"The purple magnolia in the house blooms very well, even the one in the palace is not as good."
When she came out, Murong Hui said casually, and then saw that the grandmother nodded, and said with a smile: "It's the side concubine who likes the purple magnolia, but she is pregnant again, and the prince ordered someone to plant this purple magnolia full of yards in order to make her happy." ”
Murong Hui nodded, and as soon as she walked out of the courtyard, she saw Concubine Shen who came to ask for peace.
She naturally heard what she said just now, but she didn't have a trace of uncomfortable expression on her face, she saluted Murong Hui, and then took King Ling's only son and walked into the old lady's courtyard.
"It's really incomprehensible, obviously they are all side concubines, one of them gave birth to a boy who is almost ten years old, and the other is just pregnant, the child doesn't know whether he is male or female, why does King Ling love the other one more?"
After getting into the carriage, Qingyan couldn't help but mutter.
She just wanted to gossip, but she was scolded by Mama Huang, which scared her to shut up.
Out of the corner of his eye, he still glanced out of the car window, and the endless purple magnolia was opening in the wind.
When a few people returned to the East Side Hall, it was already completely dark, and Mama Zhang specially boiled medicinal food to replenish Murong Hui's body.
Qingyan hurriedly whispered what had just happened to the others.
Qingyue couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard her doubts, and glanced at Qingyan like a fool.
"You're really a fool, isn't it the other side concubine who is the cousin and niece of Old Concubine Ling? She will naturally take care of some, and King Ling will take care of her more for the sake of filial piety. ”
Qingyue's words suddenly made everyone feel like they suddenly realized.
"Don't let outsiders hear you."
Murong Hui saw that they were talking more and more, so she hurriedly stopped them, lest they talk nonsense outside, and it reached the ears of Old Concubine Ling, and offended people again.
"Your Royal Highness, the slave maid really feels that Concubine Shen is a little pitiful, she was troubled by Princess Ling everywhere in the past, but now that Princess Ling has fallen, she has come to an equal and hard side concubine in the background. If this side concubine really gave birth to a son, I am afraid that she will be in danger. ”
Qingyan sighed, and suddenly her compassion overflowed, helping people worry about it.
Murong Hui patted her head, but her heart was cold.
"This is not a question we should think about, let you clean the study today, can you clean it?"
Mama Huang's heart tightened, and she hurriedly changed the topic and scolded Qingyan.
"Naturally, I cleaned it up, and I also packed up the books in the dormitory."
Qingyan was frightened, and hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"Mama Huang, inform Mama Fengyi Palace tomorrow that people will prepare the decoration of the flower banquet, and any one that should be invited will be invited in advance and sent to the mansions a few days in advance."
After changing into the auspicious clothes, Murong Hui finished giving the order, and rushed towards the kitchen with Mama Zhang.
After entering the kitchen, Murong Hui found Mama Zhang smiling, and she didn't know what the joy was.
"Your Highness, thanks to you this time, the old slave got the news today, and Chengxian took the initiative a few times, thinking that he was about to wake up."
Mama Zhang is cold on the surface, but in fact, there are not many people who can be remembered by her.
She doesn't really care about the life or death of the county lord of Cheng, what she cares about is the grandmother who serves the county lord of Cheng.
People like them are naturally the masters who die and are sad, if the lord of Cheng County goes, the fate of that grandmother will not be too good.
