Chapter 39: The Handmaiden

Mu Ling didn't stay in the palace for too long, took a carriage, and returned to Zhuangzi that night.

She will never forget Liang Yan's bloodshot eyes in the dim candlelight.

After staying on Zhuangzi for three or five days, Liang Yan no longer came, so Mu Qing took Mu Ling back to the palace with him.

As soon as he returned to the palace, there was a decree from the Queen Mother, saying that Mu Ling had served the princess meritoriously, and deliberately moved to live in the Yaohua Palace of Concubine De.

For a time, Mu Ling was in the limelight, and even four maidservants were sent to the palace to serve.

So far, Mu Ling has still not slept in bed, and Liang Chu of the Qianqing Palace seems to have forgotten such a person.

For half a year, Mu Ling's life in the palace was very good, but with the ups and downs of the previous dynasty, it seemed that her peaceful days were coming to an end.

In the blink of an eye, early spring.

The ladies and ladies personally selected by the Queen Mother and the Queen are also about to enter the palace.

Qianqing Palace

Liang Chu looked at the mountains of twists and turns, and was silent for a long time.

The cinnabar pen in his hand was unresolved, and a drop of blood ink stained the fold, making his eyebrows even more cold-

When this stroke falls, it is a door full of heads on the ground.

Mu Shangshu of this military department is so ruthless, regardless of the cold heart of the soldiers who fought bloodily in the frontier, he also wants to kill the veteran general of the Zheng family?

Liang Chuxin knew that this was just Mu Shangshu's means of forcing him, which made him even more annoyed, so he ruthlessly broke the cinnabar pen in his hand, took another paper and pen, and wrote cursive with one hand.

Feng Shou, the waiter who had been peeking at the side, took a look at it and immediately lowered his head - it was clear that it was the edict of the concubine.

His Majesty still compromised in the end.

Feng Shou sighed coldly in his heart, that is, Mu Ling, who was canonized, and His Majesty today.

"Go ahead." Liang Chu sighed evilly, shook off his hand, and strode away.

After receiving the edict that His Majesty was so disgusted that he threw it, Feng Shou didn't dare to delay and hurried to Yaohua Palace.

Although it was early spring, it was still cold.

The attendant of Yaohua Palace greeted him early, and smiled when he met: "It's rare to see you, is it Your Majesty who announced that our mother went over to accompany you?" The minion went to make a noise. ”

Feng Shou was full of embarrassment and waved his hand, "It's the will for Mu Guiren." ”

The waiter was full of surprise, pointed the way, and followed, "It has been three years since the Mu nobles entered the palace, and the servants have long forgotten that there is such a person. ”

Feng Shou pursed his lips and smiled without smiling: "We don't dare to speculate on Your Majesty's thoughts." ”

The chamberlain hurriedly said that he didn't dare, Feng Shou saw that the side hall had arrived, and raised his voice: "Mu Guiren is there?" ”

The shrill voice stabbed the doors and windows that had not been closed everywhere.

The show girl entered the palace, and now the palace is full of beauties who have not been favored, who knows that the will of canonization has not yet been made, and His Majesty actually summoned the Mu nobleman who has not been favored for three years?

For no reason, Mu Ling was envious, jealous and hated.

"In, in," the door opened and closed, and a blue palace maid ran out, who was one of the four maids sent into the palace by the Mu family-a chess player.

She ran happily, greeted her, and said with a smile: "Our young lady is dressing up, father-in-law, wait a minute." ”

Feng Shou glanced at her and said in a rambling voice: "It's been three years since the noble lady entered the palace, right?" The title of this young lady should also be changed. ”

Shi Qi's face was unbearable, and it was very ugly, especially when she heard the sneers of those who knew Suosuo, which made her feel even more humiliated.

At this time, Gong Yan walked out from the inside, saluted Feng Shou, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't blame, you only entered the palace when you serve chess, and you can't learn the rules at home, don't be like her, Niangniang is waiting for you in the inner hall." ”

Feng Shou was so arrogant that he entered the hall with his head held high, and he didn't even look at the chess.

Mu Ling is already eighteen years old, as when he first entered the palace, he was already different, he had faded away from childishness and splendor, and he was still pure and tender, but he was more quiet and beautiful than two or three years ago.

The face has grown, the action is sufficient, both pretty and clear, precipitated into a budding hibiscus flower.

Feng Shou stepped forward and saluted, calling out "Concubine Shu", which made Mu Ling startled and chuckled, "Father-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

Feng Shou hurriedly said hello, took out the holy decree and read it.

Sprinkled with joy and reading aloud, even if they are far away, those show girls who have not yet been canonized can hear it clearly.

No one in the palace knows that this Mu Guiren does not take the usual path, and he stammered with the princess and the queen mother, so that life can go on - why is it that His Majesty doesn't see the newcomer smiling now, and only picks the old man to canonize first?!

In the nearest palace, the two daughters of the Tao family are full of beautiful eyes, looking forward to life.

"It's just a concubine, not a queen," the older woman was magnificent, dazzling, beautiful in the mirror, and said coquettishly, "It's probably because Your Majesty thinks that the newcomer has entered the palace, and she is just promoted to the first position, what's the fuss." ”

This daughter is the eldest daughter of the new imperial merchant Tao family, Tao Mingzhu, who is nineteen years old, one year older than Mu Ling.

The girl on the side, Tao Mingyue, is her sister-in-law, her appearance is somewhat similar to her sister, but she is more beautiful, delicate and immature, and now she is only fifteen years old.

Tao Mingyue was sensitive by nature, and when she heard this, her brows never relaxed, she stared at the direction of the side hall, and said, "I'm afraid it won't be so simple, why don't I go and investigate?" ”

Tao Mingzhu was full of complacency, and said proudly: "What should she do, she hasn't caught the emperor's heart in the palace for three years, and now there are many newcomers, can she still get a piece of the pie?" Sister rest assured. ”

Tao Mingyue was embarrassed, pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm not worth it for my sister, my sister's coquettish face should be more stable and faster than that Mu Guiren." ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid that the higher she climbs, the harder she falls." Tao Mingzhu cared about it, reached out and smashed a pink peony, turned around and went back to the room.

Mu Ling received the holy decree and sat in the room for a long time.

Rim Yan sent everyone out of the palace and chatted with her, "Niangniang is now one of the four concubines, and she is on an equal footing with Concubine Nade, why hasn't she shown her face?" ”

Mu Ling sighed, looked at the sky in the distance, and said, "I always feel that in the past six months, there have been frequent movements at home. First, he sent four maidservants into the palace...... Now, I don't know why, I was promoted to the position of concubine again, and I feel very uneasy. ”

Rim Smoke is also very disturbed.

The four women of the piano, the book, the chess, and the painting are the maids sent into the palace by the Mu Mansion, and the four of them have their own abilities, some are good at pharmacology, some are good at cooking, and some are good at making clothes.

And Princess Jiande sent the green smoke beside Mu Ling, which was even more hidden, and the secrets in the palace were at her fingertips, as long as the mother gave a signal, the next moment the seventh prince would enter the palace.

Each is stronger than her, and the rim smoke has an unprecedented sense of crisis.

The master and servant had their own troubles, but they didn't last long...... There's a new one!

His Majesty Xuan Muling sleeps tonight.

After dinner, he drove to pick up Mu Ling and go to Qianqing Palace.

At this time, there was no way to escape, Mu Ling looked so confused that he had to leave with the attendant, and he stomped his feet on the spot in a hurry, and Cui Yan didn't know where he went, for fear that he would notify the Seventh Prince to go to the rescue.

The two daughters knew Mu Ling's intentions, but the four maids sent to the palace by Mu Fu.
