Chapter 227: Embarrassment
Mu Ziyan looked back and saw that she was facing Song Yifeng's dark eyes, and her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, this was still her and Song Yifeng standing so close.
She really wanted to set the time at this moment, even if it was just two by two, saying nothing and doing nothing, and being able to stand by his side unscrupulously, it was enough for her.
Unfortunately, this is not possible.
"Thanks for the reminder."
Mu Ziyan pushed Song Yifeng's hand away, turned around and entered the door.
Song Yifeng stood in place in a daze, looking at her distant back, and suddenly lost her mind.
After returning to the room, Mu Ziyan sat at the table and looked at the dark sky outside the window, in a daze for a few hours, the scene when she was talking to Song Yifeng at the door kept coming to mind, and she couldn't help but think about the reason why Song Yifeng had been blocking her from communicating with Liang Yushu.
Could it be just for her?
No, it won't......
As soon as this idea came out, Mu Ziyan immediately rejected it.
After coming into contact with Liang Yushu during this time, she also has a certain understanding of that person, he has been pretending to please her, how could she not see it?
Not long ago, she asked her second brother everything about Liang Yushu, and after learning what he did, she didn't have a good impression of this person, and now she is still in contact with him because she feels that this person is not simple, and she seems to have a good relationship with Seventh Brother, so she wants to take the opportunity to test him and see what bad intentions he has.
She used herself as an eyeliner, and she had no intention of developing a relationship with him.
In addition, she also deliberately wanted to work against Song Yifeng, since they have nothing to do with each other, who is she dealing with, and what does it matter to him? Where's his turn to take care of her? And with that "I'm right, you're wrong" attitude towards her?
Throughout the night, Mu Ziyan was thinking nonsense, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time, and did not fall asleep until the second half of the night.
When I woke up the next day, it was already three poles of the sun.
With the help of the maid, Mu Ziyan quickly dressed and put on makeup, then ate something casually, and rode into the palace in a carriage.
Because I was still a little sleepy, I dozed off all the way, and when I arrived at the gate of the palace, I woke up when the carriage stopped.
After getting out of the carriage, Mu Ziyan straightened her clothes and was about to take out the pass token, but at this time, someone behind her shouted: "Fifth princess!" ”
When I looked back, I saw a woman in a goose yellow dress walking towards with a smile on her face.
"Sister Mingjing, why are you here? Are you going to the palace too? ”
The person who came was Mingjing, the princess who protected the country, although the first emperor had died, but no one could move her title as the princess of the protector, not even Mu Liancheng, so now in addition to Mu Ziyan, the princess with the highest status belongs to her.
"I want to go to the palace, but those guards won't let me go."
Mu Ziyan chuckled: "If they don't have a token, they won't dare to let them go, otherwise they will be punished, so my sister should be considerate." ”
"I don't have a token, but you do," Mingjing affectionately grabbed Mu Ziyan's arm, "Fifth princess, you can do it, take me in, right?" Good no good? ”
Mu Ziyan had a pass token in her hand, of course it was no problem to take her in, but obviously the imperial brother obviously didn't want to see her, if he took the initiative to bring her into the palace, the imperial brother would inevitably be unhappy.
"It's not good, in case the royal brother blames it, I ......"
"The emperor loves your sister so much, he will definitely not blame him," without waiting for Mu Ziyan to finish speaking, Mingjing rushed to say.
"I just heard that the emperor is busy with state affairs during this time, he has no time to rest, he is a little worried, and he just wants to go to see him, if the emperor doesn't want to see me at that time, I will wait outside the palace, just don't go in, as long as I know that he is okay, fifth princess, you can help me, right? Just this once, I won't bother you again, okay? ”
Mu Ziyan is a soft-hearted person, seeing that the other party is so sincerely pleading, he really can't open his mouth to refuse, so he nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, let's go in together." ”
After taking the token and showing it to the guards, the two entered the palace gate and went all the way to the imperial study.
"Fifth princess, I don't know if you heard the emperor say when the queen was canonized?" Mingjing asked suddenly, her two eyes stared at Mu Ziyan with a sharp eye, although her face was light and light, her heart was already too nervous.
Mu Ziyan had long known that Mingjing was fond of the second brother, but she also knew that the second brother did not have half of her place in his heart, so he always wanted Mingjing to die as soon as possible and find his own happiness, instead of hanging himself on the second brother's tree, which was also the reason why she was reluctant to take her into the palace before.
"Brother Huang hasn't said it yet, this is his own private matter, and I can't care about it, so it's hard to ask."
Mingjing probably understood the meaning of her words, nodded and couldn't help but say to himself: "Yes, no one can control it, not even the ministers......"
"What?" Mu Ziyan looked over curiously.
"Nothing." Mingjing shook her head and smiled slightly, took her arm and said, "I'm just curious, I don't know what kind of woman can finally become the emperor's wife and mother in the world." ”
Mu Ziyan thought about it, she couldn't say for sure about this question, she thought it would be Sister Feng, but now that she is gone, she doesn't know if she will come back in the future, alas......
The two chatted and chatted, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the door of the imperial study.
Li Cocoon greeted him with a smile, bowed down and said, "Meet the two princesses!" ”
"Gonggong Li, is the imperial brother very busy now? Can we go in and see him? Mu Ziyan asked with a smile.
"The emperor is now reviewing the folds, and he should still be able to spare time, but he still has to wait for the old slave to go in and make a report, and the two princesses will wait." Li Cocoon said that, and turned his head and went in.
After a while, he returned again, still talking with a smile on his face: "The emperor invited the fifth princess to come in and talk." ”
"What about me?" Mingjing subconsciously asked, and then realized that he was a little out of shape, and quickly straightened his back.
Li Cocoon replied with a smile: "The emperor said that there is no time to meet Princess Mingjing now, please go back to the house first." ”
If you have time to see Mu Ziyan, you don't have time to see her, obviously she doesn't want to see her, her clear face suddenly became extremely ugly, and her hands under her sleeves were clenched into fists, trembling a little.
Seeing this, Mu Ziyan hurriedly comforted her: "Sister Mingjing, the imperial brother is like this, he doesn't know how to stop when he gets busy, he is worried that you won't have time to entertain you when you go in, and you will lose your courtesy, so he asked you to go back first, don't mind." ”
First of all, the word "hospitality" in this sentence is unreasonable, as an emperor, where do you need to entertain anyone? It is conceivable that Mu Ziyan also had nothing to say before saying such a thing.
Mingjing instantly felt even more embarrassed.
Still, despite this, she kept her demeanor.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth and pretended to be chic: "I know, you go in, I'll wait for you here." ”
"Aren't you going first?" Mu Ziyan was a little surprised, if it was her, she would definitely run away immediately.
Mingjing shook his head and said: "No, you shouldn't stay too long anyway, it's better to wait for you to come out and leave, it's good to have a companion on the way." ”
If she leaves now, the people present will definitely think that she is unbearable and run away, and she may laugh at her behind her back, so that she will not become a laughing stock in other people's mouths!
Mu Ziyan paused and said, "Okay, I'll come out as soon as possible." ”
Then he went into the imperial study.
There was only Mu Liancheng alone and a bunch of twists and turns on his case, so quiet that he could almost hear his breathing.
"Second brother, how long have you been sitting in this again? Don't you even remember to drink tea? Mu Ziyan poured the tea and brought it over, and said with a smile.
Mu Liancheng stopped his pen, looked up, and said with a faint smile: "It's true that you've been sitting for a few hours, why are you here?" Is there something wrong? ”
"I can't come if there's nothing to do?" Mu Ziyan shook her head helplessly, "Now the second brother only cares about national affairs, and if he really becomes the monarch, it will be different, and he doesn't even care about his sister." ”
"Why don't I care about you?" Mu Liancheng knew that she was joking, so he asked cooperatively, "Is it possible to treat you badly for my brother?" ”
Mu Ziyan grinned and said, "That's not true, it's just that now you live in the palace and I live outside the palace, it's difficult to see you." ”
"Wasn't it like that before?" Mu Liancheng said funny.
"This ......" Mu Ziyan was stunned for a moment, scratched her head and said, "This is." ”
Mu Liancheng saw that she had nothing to say here, and guessed that she had something on her mind, so he asked directly: "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”
"That's the case," Mu Ziyan hesitated, "I want to ask the second brother, can you go and talk to Song Yifeng, so that he can stop worrying about my business in the future?" ”
"He's going to look for you again?"
Mu Liancheng frowned slightly, he had always been reluctant for Song Yifeng to get too close to Mu Ziyan, because he felt that this person was not very reliable in terms of feelings, so he had mentioned it to him a few times before and asked him not to go to her again, but who would have thought that he didn't take his words to heart at all.
"What is he looking for you for?"
"Doesn't it mean that Liang Yushu is not a good person and can't communicate with each other, I'm tired of hearing those words......" Mu Ziyan lowered her head and muttered to herself, "I don't know him well, so I want him to take care of me?" ”
"He cares about you, isn't that exactly what you want?" Mu Liancheng asked tentatively.
Mu Ziyan shook his head: "I, I'm not uncommon for him to care like this, he just thinks that he is smarter than me, and deliberately preaches in front of me." ”
To put it bluntly, it is because Song Yifeng's concern for her is not out of the love of men and women, and she is unwilling.
Mu Liancheng pondered for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll find time to talk to him, but you also know Liang Yushu's personality very well, and you should know that you shouldn't get too close to him." ”
"I'm measured, second brother, you can rest assured." Mu Ziyan said with a smile, the light in his eyes was very bright.
