Chapter 29: Determination
Mu Qing was strongly invited, and Lu Su also wanted to find a companion, so he said warmly: "The nobles will go and see, the official lady is not all like Her Royal Highness the princess, and there are also those who can't ride horses and hunt, they can bathe in hot springs, chat about poetry and paint." ”
Mu Ling couldn't refuse, so he had to respond temporarily.
Mu Qing was worried about General Ruan, and stayed for a short time, and took the palace people to the Qianqing Palace to find his brother.
After learning of Suosuo's movement behind the rockery, Mu Ling frowned and asked, "Who is it?" ”
She reacted very quickly, picking up sharp rocks on the ground and putting them on guard.
She was heartfelt and gut, but Liang Yan walked out from behind the rockery, and when she saw that she looked like she wanted to fight with someone, she smiled and bent over, "It's so interesting!" ”
Mu Ling's face flushed, and he hurriedly threw the stone in his hand away, wiping his hands helplessly, "Why are you here?" I talked to the princess, and you listened? ”
Liang Yan smiled and said: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I saw you enjoying the flowers here from a distance, and I had a few words to tell you, so I looked for it." How do you know that the royal sister is pulling you to talk, and I won't be able to come over. ”
Mu Qing didn't know that Liang Yan and Mu Ling were familiar with each other, and the prince and the palace concubine were too close, and they fell into the eyes of others, so it was always difficult to explain.
Seeing that Mu Ling didn't mind, Liang Yancai explained: "I came here to tell you that after leaving the palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival, turn right, and the carriage will answer there." You, be careful. ”
"Don't worry, I will."
The words of thanks, there is no need to say much, and the eyebrows and eyes are full of tenderness.
Liang Yan turned around and wanted to leave, but after two steps, he turned back again, "There is one thing, I have been hesitant to tell you." ”
Mu Ling was stunned and chuckled: "You say." ”
"It's about someone who hurt you before...... Although you are going to leave here and never come back, I will also have a sidewalk, and the matter of leaving the palace will change again. ”
Her eyes sank, but she said, "I'm leaving, the previous rights and wrongs have nothing to do with me from now on." It's just that I have to understand who is going to harm me and why. ”
Mu Ling Ling Yan rarely talked to Liang Yan about what he heard in the palace, and he didn't want to let him get mixed into the troubled waters.
But how can Liang Yan rest assured that he has his own channels to investigate the case.
"The incident where you offended Concubine De has been found out, and it was done by someone from the Internal Affairs Office - Concubine De chose a blue palace dress that day, and the Internal Affairs Office replaced the palace dress sent to Muxiyuan with blue. That person, who has no enmity with you, has nothing to do with Concubine De's palace, is the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and is the brother of the queen's mother. ”
"Crashing shirt", "poisonous dim sum", "Shen Xingsi" and "**", all of them almost killed Mu Ling, she stood stunned, and secretly smiled bitterly, the queen mother really took a lot of trouble to destroy her......
Only now, whether it is Liang Yan or her, I don't know where the queen's anger comes from - Mu Ling thought of Lu Su's previous point, the queen seems to have been eyeing her since she came out of the queen mother.
The problem is, Mu Ling has never seen the Queen Mother at all, so why should she be offended?!
"Forget it, after today, I will completely stay away from the rights and wrongs in the palace, I don't know, I don't know." Mu Ling sighed and had to admit it.
The dance and music began, and the table was already in front of us.
The allies and subject countries of the Great Zhou Dynasty all sent envoys to present birthday gifts and congratulatory messages.
During the banquet, it was still the same as the previous palace banquet, and the concubines had their own talents and performed stunts, called He Shou, and their eyes fell on Emperor Liang Chu.
Mu Ling ignored everything, listened to the music and watched the dance, purely appreciated, and ate and drank with all his heart - to be honest, the banquet in the palace was not delicious.
The chefs are hereditary, and it is difficult to have innovative dishes, and many look at a ball of wealth and splendor, and eat it in their mouths, and taste the same as chewing wax.
The meat dishes are too greasy, and the imperial dining room is far away, and a layer of white grease has condensed when it is sent here, so how can there be an appetite for chopsticks.
The table of the high-ranking concubines is better, and the palace people are also dedicated, it is Mu Ling's turn to be like this, and the cold dishes on the table are all rancid, I don't know if it was done too early, and it has been shelved.
There are many dishes on the table, she peels shrimp for a while, scoops sweet soup for a while, and she can eat enough.
Liang Yanyao toasted Mu Ling with a glass of wine, and Mu Ling was already drunk when she went down with a glass - if the wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, she is happy.
Tonight, Mu Ling also has a show, the queen turned her song into a chorus, a group of palace performers are behind, and Mu Ling is leading the dance in front.
The queen had the heart to grind, but the tricksters didn't cooperate, Mu Ling practiced dancing alone for a few days, but he couldn't keep up with the tricksters.
Today, she is also open, if she can't keep up, she can't keep up, anyway, the action of pinching her waist and swinging her tail is not good-looking, and she changed a gauze skirt for her, and after waiting for a while on stage, she will dance her own. In front of the Queen Mother, there were many official daughters and daughters, and they didn't dare to stumble on Mu Ling on the spot for fear of giving them a few lives.
Mu Ling was very relieved.
In order, it's time for the Dusk nobles to paint.
Who knew that the waiter fell into the twilight clouds, and directly invited Mu Ling to play.
Mu Ling was waiting outside the venue, and the group of tricksters didn't know why, but it was clear that the nobles of Duyun were staying by the queen's side, and they had been making jokes.
"Isn't that right?" Mu Ling hesitated and asked the chamberlain, "The nobles of Duyun are clearly in front of me. ”
The chamberlain is in the queen mother's palace, and when she heard this, she glanced at Mu Ling lightly, and the male duck said: "The queen mother said, such strange skills and tricks, you can't get into the hall of elegance, so don't come out and make people laugh - the queen mother also said that the harem woman should be steady, don't do what she shouldn't do, don't ask what she shouldn't ask, just shut up." ”
The last sentence is clearly a mockery of Mu Ling's troubles.
The men looked at each other and gloated.
Mu Ling glanced at the group of girls and was ready to appear.
The dance music was all composed by Su Nianru in the palace, and now Queen Su is still asking the Queen Mother for credit.
Mu Ling put on plum blossom makeup on her face, danced with her water sleeves, and entered the arena with the pace of the dancing girl.
"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky......"
As soon as the clear singing voice came out, the banquet was also quiet.
Queen Su held the wine glass in her hand, hooked her lips and chuckled, and she was a little distracted in the gap between the flattery of the nobles of the twilight clouds on the side.
A while ago, His Majesty suddenly came to her palace, and she had a seizure, as if she had known the cause of Concubine Hui's death, but she was forced to ask if she had been instructed by someone.
She hinted that she was the queen's mastermind, but Her Majesty's gaze frightened her even more...... To this day, His Majesty has not said how to send her, and has also let her attend tonight's birthday banquet.
Somehow, the noble lady of Twilight was very afraid, and always felt that His Majesty's gaze seemed to be nothing, as if he was staring at her.
She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes: just endure it, just endure it a little longer, she will definitely get through this difficulty and get His Majesty's favor again.
Unlike the uneasiness of the nobles of Twilight, the queen can be said to be in high spirits.
The stage is very large and high, and the waters are wide on all sides, and there are lights in the water, which are as bright as day.
The dancer danced lightly, barefoot, covered in tulle, spinning and jumping, surrounding Mu Ling in the center.
The clothes are fragrant and the sideburns are like a painting.
It makes people feel like indulging in this shredded gold fan.
