Chapter 654: Concubine Xu

Seeing that Murong Hui was so serious, Mama Huang smiled lightly and whispered.

Murong Hui was speechless for a while, she had never paid attention to what these palace maids were doing in private before, but today it was all an eye-opener, she didn't expect them to gossip like this.

After breakfast, she went to the study with her backpack.

As soon as she entered the door, she found that the county lord of Wanyi was sitting in the corner with a gloomy face, she would definitely not sit in such a remote place usually.

I was obviously in a bad mood today, and no one wanted to pay attention to it, so I found a remote place to stay.

Murong Hui naturally didn't take the initiative to pay attention to her, so she found a place to sit down and read quietly.

Who knew that when the master came in today, he was followed by a group of people, all of whom were men who were studying next door on weekdays.

Murong An and Murong Ning walked in the front, looking at them, they seemed to be a little curious about these noble girls.

"Today is a class for Scholar Huang, but he can't come over because of something important, so I'll teach him on his behalf, and let's learn the art of gambling today."

It was Scholar Xu who entered the door, he stroked his goatee and said to everyone.

Only then did Murong Hui know that today's Xu scholar was going to take all of them to class.

"Each of you finds a place to sit down and learns from each other."

After Master Xu finished speaking, he pointed to the table and chair in front of him and spoke.

Murong An pursed his lips and pulled Murong Ning to sit at the empty table next to him.

The others naturally sat down first, Zhao Yu glanced around, then walked to Murong Hui with a smile and sat down, and there was a chessboard in the middle of the two facing each other.

Murong Hui felt that her face was slightly hot, and she didn't know what was going on, so she just hung her head and looked at the chessboard in front of her.

Fortunately, none of these people noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two, which made Murong Hui breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Scholar Xu began to explain the rules and methods in the game, and instructed everyone to start playing.

"Your Highness is good at this."

Zhao Yu had a smile on his face, he originally thought that after school, he would come to Murong Hui to borrow books, but he never thought that he would see Murong Hui so soon.

"I'm not very good at it."

Shaking his head, Murong Hui thought seriously for a moment, and then dropped the white son.

Zhao Yu soon fell, his face was relaxed, he obviously knew how to play chess a long time ago, and he was very proficient in this way.

He deliberately let Murong Hui, always with a little bit of guidance in his words, Murong Hui nodded frequently, feeling that he had benefited a lot.

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, Murong Hui was still a little confused, she looked down at the game of chess that she had never finished, and her face couldn't help but reveal a little helplessness.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu smiled again: "Your Highness, you lost." ”

Murong Hui was really shocked, she realized that her chess skills were so poor.

"Your Highness, if you are free in the future, let's have another plate."

Zhao Yu saw that Murong Hui was still staring at the chessboard in a daze, so he said with a smile.

"You don't have to let me next time, I'll win yours."

Hearing him say this, Murong Hui said with a serious face.

Zhao Yu answered, got up and left with everyone.

Murong Hui stared at the chessboard for a moment, and then thought that after school in the afternoon, he would go to Tibet to find the chess game and study it carefully.

At noon, as soon as she walked to the door of Fengyi Palace, she saw a grandmother

Waiting for her.

"Is my aunt looking for me?"

Seeing that the grandmother seemed to be waiting for her, she spoke.

"The queen is asking the old slave to invite you in for lunch."

Seeing her so polite, Murong Hui guessed that there must be nothing wrong today, otherwise this grandmother would definitely not have this expression when she looked at her.

She obediently followed behind her grandmother, and then walked into the main hall of Fengyi Palace, at this time, there were a lot of meals on the table in the main hall restaurant, which looked very rich.

"Hui'er, come here."

Seeing the smile on Lin Yingxue's face, the doubt in Murong Hui's heart completely disappeared, and she sat on the chair next to Lin Yingxue obediently.

"Isn't my sister-in-law coming today?"

"Today, your brother-in-law is going to have a banquet for the minister, so you don't have to wait for him, let's eat ours."

She handed a bowl of cod soup to Murong Hui and answered softly.

"Hui'er, the day after tomorrow is your birthday, but there was a plague this year, so after discussing with your brother-in-law, I decided to only set up a table for you in Fengyi Palace, all for you to celebrate your birthday."

Seeing that Murong Hui took a sip of soup, he said gently.

If Lin Yingxue didn't say it, Murong Hui really didn't know that her birthday was coming.

When Murong Jing was still there, every year he would order someone to cook longevity noodles for her, watch her eat all the noodles, and then go to the flower room to appreciate the flowers and plants he cultivated.

It was a fond memory of her childhood, and she didn't know how long it had passed.

"Auntie doesn't have to bother setting up the table, just let the imperial dining room cook a bowl of longevity noodles for Hui'er."

After coming back to her senses, her face was a little pale, and her heart was a little empty.

"How does this make you the only princess in the palace, naturally you have to take it seriously, didn't you also participate in the birthday of your two cousins? You deserve to celebrate like that. ”

Frowning for a moment, Lin Yingxue said helplessly, she was thinking in her heart that when the tribute from the northwest was sent in a few days, she would pick a few more good skins for Murong Hui to make a cloak.

Murong An and Murong Ning are both princes of the Eight Classics, and they were both born to the queen's mother, and they were of noble birth, so they are naturally very popular.

Naturally, there are not a few people in the court who want to slap them up, so the birthday banquet of the two is particularly grand.

Murong Hui didn't like such a lively scene, so she didn't envy it much, so now that she heard Lin Yingxue say this, Murong Hui didn't have any waves in her heart.

"Then thank you, auntie."

Seeing Murong Hui's insistence, Murong Hui smiled, revealing two pear vortices on her face, looking a little cute.

Lin Yingxue couldn't help but reach out and touch Murong Hui's head a few times, and then urged sharply: "Eat quickly, the dishes will be cold later." ”

The food in Fengyi Palace was much more abundant than that in the East Side Palace, and Murong Hui took advantage of this light to eat more.

The two chatted for a while, and when it was time for class, Murong Hui hurriedly got up and rushed towards the upper study.

"Your Highness, after the county lord Wanyi finished asking you this afternoon, you must not agree, she must not be well-intentioned."

As soon as she walked to the door, she saw that Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing had also just arrived.

When Gao Ziyue said these words, her face was nervous, as if she had discovered something terrible.

"I see."

Murong Hui didn't take this matter seriously at all, she remembered the birthday banquet, so she said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow is my birthday, the queen mother will set a table for me in Fengyi Palace, and then you two will come over and have a good time."

。 ”

"That's natural, I should have prepared a gift for you, and I'll bring it to you the day after tomorrow."

After hearing this, Gao Ziyue immediately said with a smile, with two small pear vortices on her face.

Xu Qing nodded in agreement, but there was a bit of worry in her eyes, she was older than the two of them, and she was cautious, so she naturally thought more.

"Then let's go inside."

The three of them chatted at the door for a while, and then entered the upper study together.

Lord Wanyi's face was still very bad, pale with a little cyan, she glanced at Murong Hui and didn't say anything, but the calculating look in her eyes was inadvertently revealed.

"Your Highness, tomorrow Mu Xiu, the courtiers and others plan to get together, can Your Highness go together?"

Sure enough, as soon as Murong Hui sat down, Coco Xu opened her mouth to ask, although she was asking, she took out an invitation card in her hand, with an invitation card from the Duke of Xu's Mansion on it.

It looked quite formal, but remembering what Gao Ziyue said just now, Murong Hui didn't accept the invitation, and said lightly: "I still have important things to do tomorrow, so I won't go." ”

She felt that more was better than less, so she didn't want to bother with it.

"Your Highness is really honorable, even if we invite it in person, we can't invite it, so that's it."

Coco Xu was not angry at all, the corners of his mouth were hooked with a look of pride, and he looked like he had succeeded in his conspiracy.

"Your Highness's birthday is the day after tomorrow, so you can't be empty, if it's not an important banquet, my cousin should not let His Highness go down."

At this time, Xu Qing opened her mouth and tried to help Murong Hui play a round.

"Isn't it important? Someone else said this, but without you, you really don't remember what day tomorrow is? ”

Coco Xu rushed to Xu Qing angrily and scolded sharply.

Xu Qing shuddered for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I naturally know that tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday, but didn't I say that I would not do it this year, and only invite my relatives to celebrate?" ”

Although Xu Qing was very afraid of Coco Xu, she still insisted on refusing to bow her head.

"Your grandmother ordered me to entertain Princess Linghui, since Princess Linghui doesn't give face to the Duke of Xu, then I can't say anything, after all, people come from noble backgrounds."

As if she hadn't heard Xu Qing's argument, Coco Xu said to herself.

Her words were extremely harsh, and it sounded like Murong Hui had a big shelf and didn't care about getting along with them at all.

If her statement is really confirmed, then wouldn't Murong Hui have a ruined reputation?

Thinking like this in her heart, Murong Hui smiled, stood up and said: "The day after tomorrow is my birthday, although it will not be a big deal, but in the end, I still need the queen's mother to help bother to arrange the banquet, and I still need to ask the queen's permission for tomorrow's affairs, and I will give you an answer after class." ”

Seeing that she was so aggressive, Murong Hui also knew that this matter would not end well, so she simply stopped pestering, and Lin Yingxue's temperament would naturally stand on her side and help her refuse this matter.

Coco Xu's face was finally a little ugly, she originally wanted to use these words to make Murong Hui unable to get off the stage, and then she became angry and was forced to agree to the banquet, but she didn't expect Murong Hui to be angry at all.

Murong Hui asked Qingyue to ask Lin Yingxue, and she sat in her place, waiting for her master to come back to class.

Qingyue on the side trotted all the way towards Fengyi Palace, and after entering Fengyi Palace, she told Lin Yingxue everything about what happened.

She originally thought that Lin Yingxue could help Murong Hui vent her anger.
