Chapter 47: Drunkenness
The first person to go up and talk to Mu Yueqing was Mu Yaxin's nemesis Huang Yuying. On the day of the queen's birthday banquet, Huang Yuying was shocked by Mu Yueqing's talent, and was impressed by her courage to refuse the marriage contract with the prince. If she hadn't been worried that she would run into Mu Yaxin when she went to the General's Mansion, she would have gone to visit Mu Yueqing a long time ago.
"My name is Huang Yuying, Miss Mu, and I've admired my name for a long time." Huang Yuying stood in front of Mu Yueqing with a frank face.
This is the demeanor that a young lady should have, Mu Yueqing thought.
"Last time, Miss Huang's lyrics and singing and dancing also made me admire." Mu Yueqing guessed that Huang Yuying would come to befriend her, not for her reputation as a waste of firewood, but most likely because of something at the birthday banquet.
Mu Yueqing guessed correctly.
Huang Yuying sneered when she heard this, waved her hand and said, "Just call me Yuying, you haven't had breakfast yet, let's sit together?" ”
"It's better to be respectful than to be smart." Mu Yueqing saw that Huang Yuying was refreshed, and she didn't ink, so she followed Huang Yuying to the table where she was and sat down.
There were also several girls at the same table, and they all greeted Mu Yueqing one by one.
Sure enough, people are divided into groups, and those who are at the same table as Huang Yuying are all the same as Huang Yuying, and their temperament is quite refreshing.
There are all kinds of pastries and snacks on the table, and several people's mouths are not idle at all, chatting while eating.
As for this cherry blossom viewing event, cherry blossom viewing is also a part. In Mu Yueqing's opinion, it was more like a tea party.
After a while, the servant brought up a few flasks.
Huang Yuying and the others took it over as soon as they saw it and poured a cup for Mu Yueqing.
"Yueqing, you taste, this is the flower wine specially brewed by the Xingxiang Wine Workshop for the flower appreciation conference." Huang Yuying is familiar with herself, and Mu Yueqing is like an old friend who hasn't seen her for a few years, and she is not at all rusty.
Mu Yueqing picked it up, smelled it, and a light scent of osmanthus wafted out. A sip is stuffy, full of fragrance, mellow floral aroma, and intoxicating wine aroma.
"Osmanthus wine?" Mu Yueqing thought about it, this shouldn't be a new brew this year, and the osmanthus hasn't bloomed yet.
"You try this again." Huang Yuying didn't answer, picked up another pot and poured her a glass.
Mu Yueqing took a sip, she was really curious.
"This is chrysanthemum wine."
Huang Yuying smiled and didn't answer, took another pot and poured a cup for her.
This time, she didn't need to speak, Mu Yueqing directly picked it up and drank it.
"Say, Yuying, don't hang my appetite, these wine-making flowers are not something that will be available in this season, and these wines don't look like they've been put on for a long time."
"Yes." Huang Yuying's eyes lit up, and she motioned to Mu Yueqing to look at the person next to her with her eyes.
The girl sitting next to Mu Yueqing had been staring at Mu Yueqing for a long time without blinking, and it wasn't until Mu Yueqing turned her face that she happily made a very long self-introduction.
"Do you know who I am Lan Qin? My father is one of the wealthy merchants in Lingcheng, and these flowers were brought back from the southernmost part of the city a few days ago, and if it weren't for me, how could anyone present drink such fresh flower wine. When Lan Qin said it, she was quite proud, but she didn't mean to be arrogant, which made Mu Yueqing feel that this girl was also cute and tight.
On Mu Yaxin's side, she was naturally sitting closer to the Shu Jianfeng table. Although she is the daughter of a general, she is a concubine after all, and she has not yet reached the point where she can eat at the same table with the crown prince and the eldest princess and other royal families.
"Why did the seventh brother come to the flower viewing conference this year, didn't he come in previous years?" The words behind the sword wind are bitten very hard, which clearly shows that he is threatening the sword wind.
But he was like pretending to be stupid, and replied seriously to the words of the sword: "I was young and decided to be unable to participate in the selection of the flower appreciation conference because of my poor health, and if I miss it again this year, I am really ashamed of the trust of the conference in me." ”
The eldest princess of Furong looked at Su Jianfeng and asked, "Prince, why don't you see the queen this year?" ”
Only then did Su Jianfeng shift his gaze from Shu Qingdu's body to the eldest princess of Furong: "Back to Aunt Huang's words, the queen mother got up this morning and felt unwell, so she couldn't make the trip." ”
"It's like this every year, so don't come." The eldest princess of Furong said casually, but it made Shu Jianfeng feel a little ugly.
Every year is such a result, naturally caused by him, but this year, it will obviously be different.
"You see, the girl who sat with Prime Minister Huang Cheng's daughter is a young lady of whose family, her face is very raw, it stands to reason that such a look should be famous in Lingcheng." The eldest princess of Furong looked at Mu Yueqing, and at this time, Mu Yueqing was chatting with Huang Yuying and Lan Qin, and when she was happy, she couldn't help laughing. And the women who dared to laugh in the audience were basically at their table.
"It's the first time I've participated in the cherry blossom viewing event, and I don't know them." Su replied indifferently, his appearance looked timid and respectful, completely far from the pride of the sky before.
The eldest princess of Furong didn't expect Su to answer lightly, she asked this, but she was actually asking Su Jianfeng.
It's just that he was so lightly reconciled, and Su Jianfeng's face was even more unbearable.
Sooner or later, Mu Yueqing's identity will be known by Princess Furong, and if she pretends not to know her now, she will only be regarded as not daring to admit it for a while.
A Mu Yueqing, what he doesn't dare to admit.
"She is the granddaughter of General Mu Cheng, Mu Yueqing." After saying it with a dark face, Su Jianfeng picked up the flower wine in front of him and drank it all, but the flower wine was not high, and his heart was not happy enough.
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Furong turned her face and looked at Su Jianfeng for a long time without making a sound.
But Su Qingdu chuckled: "It turned out to be her, at the birthday banquet of the queen's mother, she sang and danced with calligraphy and painting, and the five skills were exhibited at the same time, and the skills were overwhelming the crowd and winning the victory." ”
On the day of the queen's birthday banquet, Princess Furong couldn't go because she was unwell, but she also heard about Mu Yueqing. But seeing Mu Yueqing herself at this time, she couldn't help but doubt her long-cherished sword style.
Su said lightly and in a timely manner: "Today's beauty is not like a woman in the world, there is no beauty today, and I don't blame me for not recognizing it, the prince and Miss Mu have a marriage contract, and they are more recognizable than me." ”
Shu Jianfeng doesn't like Mu Yueqing, and Princess Furong knows it. But that is also because it is rumored that Mu Yueqing is an ugly-looking waste wood who can't cultivate, and she is still a fool, so the eldest princess of Furong will be good to Mu Yaxin by dreaming of the sword wind.
But today, it seems that this is not the case. Thinking about it again, Mu Yueqing used the rights obtained from the birthday banquet to dissolve the marriage contract, and even the eldest princess Furong believed that it was Mu Yueqing's long-cherished sword style that Mu Yueqing threw off.
"It's just a waste wood that can't be cultivated." Shu Jianfeng tried to use this excuse to belittle Mu Yueqing, in the Xingyuan Continent, a place where strength is respected, if you can't cultivate, you will never be able to raise your head, even if your appearance is outstanding, it is a shameful thing.
It's good that Shu Jianfeng didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, the eyes of the eldest princess Furong and Shu Qingduly looked at him even more wrong. It stands to reason that such a waste can climb to the crown prince is a blessing she has cultivated in this life, so why should she be impatient to push it away? The prince, who can't even look down on waste wood, is he so bad?
In terms of appearance, talent, and family background, Mu Yueqing is far superior to Mu Yaxin, as long as Mu Yueqing does not have a bad reputation, she is the Hundred Flowers Fairy this year.
Princess Furong looked at Mu Yueqing for a long time and did not speak.
Seeing this, Su Jianfeng had already guessed the thoughts of the eldest princess Furong, you must know that in the past, Mu Yaxin and Huang Yuying were comparable in strength, no matter who they chosen, it would not cause criticism, but now the gap between Mu Yueqing and Mu Yaxin is visible to the naked eye, if he can't get evidence of Mu Yueqing's bad reputation, he will continue to choose Mu Yaxin, and he will definitely be seen by everyone.
"Mu Yueqing is a waste wood that can't cultivate," and when it came to this topic, Shu Jianfeng's face darkened, especially when he said it from his own mouth, "What qualifications do you have to participate in the selection of the Hundred Flowers Fairy." ”
In short, it means that Mu Yueqing is a waste of firewood, and it is her bad reputation.
Don't say that this is a long-awaited decision, even the eldest princess Furong agrees.
"The selection of the Hundred Flowers Fairy is not comparable to spiritual power, this does not count." When she said this, the eldest princess of Furong glanced at Su Jianfeng meaningfully, meaning to remind him to pay attention to his identity, and not to lose the face of the royal family for the sake of a Mu Yaxin.
Su Jianfeng's hand clenched into a fist under the table, he originally wanted to win over Su Qingdu, but at this time, even the eldest princess of Furong was not on his side. As long as Mu Yueqing has a bad reputation, or in other words, as long as Mu Yueqing's reputation is ruined, this year's Hundred Flowers Fairy will not be able to take her turn, and it will not be her turn in the future.
During the banquet, many young ladies were too strong to drink, and they got drunk after a few glasses of flower wine, and were helped down to rest.
Huang Yuying looked at Mu Yueqing, whose face was flushed, and said apologetically: "I really didn't know that your alcohol consumption was so bad, I would definitely not give it to you if I knew it." ”
"Help your young lady down to rest." Lan Qin was on the other side of Mu Yueqing.
The attacker hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Yueqing walk into the backyard.
There is a cherry blossom viewing event in the front yard and a resting place in the back yard.
As soon as Mu Yueqing left on her front foot, Mu Yaxin followed under the pretext of being drunk.
The attacker helped Mu Yueqing into the house and lay down, then came out and closed the door, and stood at the door dutifully.
Mu Yaxin glanced at the maid, and the maid understood.
Mu Yaxin's maid stepped forward and said to the attacker: "Second Miss said, there is a brocade quilt in her car, you can go with me to get it, this weather is cold, don't freeze the eldest miss." ”
The attacker said embarrassedly: "I have to guard the eldest lady here, and ask my sister to run for me." ”
"Don't be ignorant, you girl," the maid screamed, "Don't regret freezing the eldest lady later." ”
"Sister, please wait." After saying that, the attacker pushed open the door and entered the house.
Before she walked in, the attacker saw Mu Yueqing lying on the bed and raised her hand at her, signaling her to go.
The attacker whispered yes, walked out and closed the door, and said to the maid, "Please lead the way, sister." ”
The maid laughed arrogantly, turned her head and left, not waiting for the attack.
