Body Chapter 86: Shrewdness
Chapter 86
The sky was just bright, it was still a little dim, Yin Chenglu was draped in the stars in the sky early, and went to the morning court, like a stone hitting the water, with ripples of different sizes.
As if something happened overnight, the maids of the other palaces waiting at the door went back to report one after another, and before the sun came out, the originally silent palace became active.
'Su Rao''s special pet, like a little bit of spark spreading on the grassland, brought a spark, and the originally peaceful harem exploded in an instant.
Now in the harem, the highest rank is Su Yuan, and Su Rao is an upstart, although now she only has the title of 'beauty', but as long as the emperor is happy, it is a matter of time before she soars.
Thinking about it carefully, this Yin Palace has actually become their Su family sisters.
"I wonder if the Sumers are there?" Yin Chenglu didn't walk long on the front foot, and there were several maids on the back foot who came to Liuyue Palace with large and small gifts in their hands and flattering smiles.
"It's still in the house, Xu Guiren can sit outside for a while now." The maid at the door hurriedly said, ran to the inner room, and went to find Mu Yan.
"How?" Mu Yan had just finished washing, and he scanned his eyebrows lightly in front of the bronze mirror, and there was a quick knock on the wooden door, and then a somewhat nervous maid came in.
"Yes, it's someone from outside." The maid ran in panting, unable to speak clearly, trying to express herself.
The eyebrow pencil in Mu Yan's hand was crooked, leaving a shallow mark on the tip of the eyebrow, but if you don't look carefully, you can't see any difference.
Mu Yan was not much surprised, and continued to lightly sweep the fragrant fat powder, and the few maids who cleaned up their hair buns behind him did not dare to relax, and carefully rolled up the last bun of green silk.
The maid at the door, who couldn't express herself, didn't get a response for a long time, and her heart was full of ups and downs, and she wanted to bite off her tongue, but it was just a matter of reporting, and it was so complicated.
"Got it." Mu Yan's voice didn't fluctuate much, and he said softly.
"Yes." When the maid heard the response, her heart was relaxed, and she nodded hurriedly, closed the door again, and went out to deal with the inexplicable visitors.
"What? Still not awake yet? The incense outside was already burning, and Xu Guiren, who was sitting on a chair in the hall, couldn't sit still, and when he saw the maid who came out, he hurriedly got up and asked.
"Wait a little longer, and you'll be out right away." The maid wiped her sweat slightly, and said, It's only been a while, and there have been several waves of people coming, but Mu Yan just hasn't come out for a long time.
The things that were brought were placed on the table, large and small, and the nobles and girls of different positions sat on the chairs tacitly, waiting for Mu Yan's arrival.
The door creaked open, Mu Yan was wearing plain clothes, not as flamboyant as he imagined, as if being favored was not a very show-off thing, and he came out quietly to say hello to the people outside.
"Sister, this time my sister came, just to see if my sister adapted, and I didn't have time to come during this time, so I complained about my sister." Xu Guiren, who came first, greeted him first, pulling Mu Yan's Rouyi, and his tone became more and more relaxed, as if he sincerely regarded Mu Yan as his own sister.
"Sister is polite, it's good in the palace, there's nothing uncomfortable." Mu Yan had long been accustomed to seeing such a situation, and said with a smile pursed his lips.
Glancing at the surroundings lightly, those who were raw, or a little familiar, and who had once befriended Su Rao's nobles and picked women, transferred them over again, and made friends with 'Su Rao', selfishly looking forward to Su Rao's sole favor, and being able to give them a little, these things are not used to in the harem.
"Sister, this is what my sister found some time ago, I heard that bringing it can ward off evil spirits and keep you safe." Not to be outdone, one of the people in the back who was also a nobleman stepped forward, took out a small gadget, and said that he was going to take it to Mu Yan's wrist.
Mu Yan didn't dodge either, and let the noble man put a string of crystal clear bracelets on his wrist, Mu Yan entered the palace twice, how could he not understand, he still kept a smile and didn't speak.
"Look, I'll just say that my sister is naturally beautiful, so naturally everything she brings is good-looking." The noble man saw that Mu Yan did not resist, the arc of his mouth was a little bigger, and a little bit of sincerity was mixed with a little bit of hypocrisy, and said.
"Then thank you, sister, I like it very much." Mu Yan smiled both truthfully and falsely, and responded, the cold beads were a little smooth on the wrist, with a little coolness.
"Then sister, look at it, do you like this one?" Those who came with him, but their reputation was not very high, looked at the few people around Mu Yan unwillingly, raised the gift in their hands, and leaned over.
The house was chattering, Mu Yan was not in a hurry, and calmly responded, no matter how good those people said, Mu Yan was still very calm, because she knew that every woman in this palace was not worthy of her trust.
"By the way, I heard that last night, hehe, it was my sister who talked a lot." After so much small talk, one of them couldn't help but ask, only half of the words were spoken, but the meaning was really obvious.
"I don't know if my sister likes these pastries, but I still taste good." The room was a little noisy, which could be regarded as a cover-up, Mu Yan pretended not to hear, and pushed over such delicate small pastries with a smile.
"Well, it's okay, it's okay." The noble man who spoke tugged at the corners of his mouth, smiled a little stiffly, and stopped talking, and did not continue, and he had never tasted those pastries, so he nodded perfunctorily and said.
"In the future, my sister will have to move around more, and we can go out to enjoy the flowers together when we have time." I can't think of any way to get involved, and I can only get closer to it through such a way.
"Well, yes, I'll go and play with my sister when I have time, as long as I don't dislike it." The smile on Mu Yan's face did not change, it was still a warm smile, and he said.
"That sister can't be partial, she has to come to our side when she has time." The rest of them saw that Mu Yan was not as arrogant as Su Yuan before, and was more relaxed, so they were overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
The hustle and bustle in the house reached the extreme, I don't know how long it was polite, but it was estimated that it was time, and those nobles and girls were reluctant to leave, leaving only the large and small gifts on the table, and stayed there quietly.
It wasn't until those people were gone that the curvature of the corners of Mu Yan's mouth dropped a few points, and he was still a little tired from coping with it, so he didn't look at the things on the table, and took off the bracelet on his wrist and put it aside.
In the Longevity Palace, Mo Yu accompanied the Queen Mother to chant Buddha and eat fast all day long, listening to the sound of turning beads, his mouth was full of dull taste, and he was used to it after a long time.
But on this day, it was the same as usual, listening to those scriptures that did not understand the meaning, and there was a unique incense in the house, just when Mo Yu was thinking about other issues in a trance, the Queen Mother knelt in front of the Golden Buddha, stopped turning the hand of the Buddha beads, and suddenly spoke.
The calm and tranquil atmosphere in the room was shattered, and the sound of turning beads disappeared, leaving only the half-burned incense, which was still emitting white smoke.
"You've been planning for a long time."
It's not a question sentence, but a tone that has long been known, like a thunderclap, breaking the originally sunny weather, Mo Yu was a little stunned, this nonsensical words, to his ears, but a little frightened, the original sleepiness was expelled and disappeared.
"What are you talking about, Queen Mother?"
Mo Yu was still in a trance by such a quiet atmosphere, and he couldn't react to the meaning of what the Queen Mother said for a while, and asked suspiciously.
"Still pretending to be stupid?"
The Queen Mother's eyes are very deep, as if they are a bottomless abyss, if you are not careful, you will be trapped in it, her tone is not hurried or slow, and she is a little confident, looking at Mo Yu and no longer speaking.
Mo Yu saw her shrewdness from the eyes of the Queen Mother, and couldn't help but feel a little vigilant in her heart, as if if she was not careful, her innermost thoughts would be exposed, and she had to be vigilant.
The fragrance in the room seemed to be a little lighter, and Mo Yu had been sobered up a lot by these words, looking at the Queen Mother's meticulous dress, although there were some whitish sideburns on her head, she still couldn't hide her shrewdness.
Mo Yu looked at the Queen Mother's eyes, and couldn't help but have a guess in his heart, and suddenly felt that he, Mu Yan and Yin Yufu's little tricks failed to escape this woman's eyes. Thinking of this, Mo Yu couldn't help but shudder, feeling a little frightened.
The room seemed to be a little quieter, even the slightest breathing sound was clear, Mo Yu's breathing couldn't help but slow down, and he felt a little suffocated in such an atmosphere.
The Buddhist beads in the queen mother's hand had been placed on the ground, and the string of Buddhist beads stayed quietly on the ground, gradually becoming cold and losing its own temperature.
Mo Yu's eyes couldn't help but look elsewhere, for some reason, those prepared words had disappeared in his throat, unable to make a sound, and he couldn't even find the right words to deal with the shrewd Queen Mother in front of him.
Mo Yu thought about it, and he didn't think it was strange, the Queen Mother had been groping and crawling in this harem for so many years, how could she not see the flaws in it, just don't say it.
"You want to deal with him? For Yi'er? ”
After being silent for a while, the Queen Mother's voice was still very calm, but the words she said were not so peaceful, at least in Mo Yu's opinion, it was not so simple.
Mo Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't know how to answer the Queen Mother's question, or rather, he didn't dare to answer at all, he was a little afraid, no matter what he said, he could reveal his flaws, and let the Queen Mother look at it.
The temperature in the room was not very low, and the smoke was all around him, but Mo Yu felt a chill spread in his bones.
