Chapter 366: Stratagem
"Yo, do you want to see me come back sooner?"
An Shuangchi said and looked at Mo Qingrou even more playfully, hearing him say this, Mo Qingrou not only did not feel embarrassed, but looked at him directly.
"What nonsense are you talking about, let me ask you, have they embarrassed you when you entered the palace?"
An Shuangchi looked at Mo Qingrou with clear eyes, and only felt that his mood had changed a lot.
"I didn't say anything, I just came back from the battlefield now, and I am quite loved by the people, and the emperor doesn't dare to do anything to me now, plus I just learned that those defeated countries will come to pay tribute soon, so for the time being, I am still safe."
An Shuangchi's expression also became deeper, and it seemed that he should have his own considerations for the future.
Mo Qingrou knew that although he was saying so now, he also knew the stakes in his heart.
If there is anything wrong these days, I am afraid that this An family will also be overturned.
It is really "a companion like a tiger".
"General, Miss Rou, dinner is ready."
An Shuangchi nodded, and the two walked into the room together.
At this time, Concubine Li in the palace still sat on the throne of the palace without saying a word.
She didn't know what to use to describe her current mood right now.
thought that he had been by the emperor's side all these years, at least he still had some pity for himself, but now it seems that it was all his own passion.
Now that there is almost no way to maneuver, it is all self-inflicted.
The third prince came in from outside, and saw that his mother had not been happy for a long time, although he didn't know why, but he was still sensible.
"Mother, don't be sad, San'er will protect you."
"If only it could be like that."
At this time, I only heard the report of the palace people outside:
"The emperor drove to ......"
As a result, Concubine Li, who was still with a sad face, was also cloudy and sunny in an instant.
No matter how unhappy you are in your heart, you still have to pretend to be happy at the moment.
"General An entered the palace to see you today, are you still happy?"
The emperor naturally knew that Concubine Li was worried about her younger brother, so he asked a few words so casually.
The expression in Concubine Li's eyes changed slightly, and she probably understood that the emperor was trying to set himself up.
She has been in this palace for many years, so naturally she will not be fooled so easily.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's younger brother has been gone for so long, and now that he has returned safely, I, as a sister, are naturally at ease."
Concubine Li's face had a kind smile, and she didn't look any different.
"That's good, I came here today, in fact, I have something to discuss with you."
The emperor also looked at Concubine Li tentatively at this time, but Concubine Li looked calm.
"If there's anything, just say it."
"That's the case, it's not a very important thing, you know, this time your brother won the battle, those defeated countries are going to come to pay tribute, and the queen is not in good health recently, so I want you to take her place to kick me to meet these foreign envoys."
The Emperor's tone was light, as if he was talking about something inconsequential.
Concubine Li is not a fool, so she naturally knows what he means by this.
I'm just a concubine, and if I really do this, my reputation won't be very good.
At present, his position is already in jeopardy, and if he chooses to come out at this time, I am afraid that he will attract more firepower, and his situation will become more dangerous at that time.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is just a concubine now, if I attend this banquet with you, I'm afraid I will still be criticized......"
Concubine Li's tone was a little speechless, but she knew very well that it was better for her not to get involved in this matter.
The emperor looked at the woman in front of him, and his eyes were full of playfulness.
"Concubine Li, are you reminding me that the position I have given you is not high enough?"
Concubine Li was very frightened when she heard this, and quickly knelt down.
"Concubines don't dare to ......"
On the second day, Concubine Li became Concubine Li with great reluctance.
Mo Qinggently stayed in this general's mansion, only feeling bored day after day.
A few maids will occasionally take her around, but it is quite comfortable.
It's just that because of the tribute, An Shuangchi didn't have much time to accompany her these days.
For Mo Qingrou, although this kind of life is leisurely, she is afraid of this kind of idleness in her bones.
"Girl, it's good that you're here, the general always had no smile on his face in the past, but since you came, the general can always have a smile on his face."
A little guy looked at Mo Qingrou with a smile on his face, although Mo Qingrou knew in his heart that he was pleasing himself, but looking at his eyes, he knew that it was sincere.
So nothing more was said.
"Girl, in front of you is the most famous Nishang Pavilion in our capital, do you want to go in and have a look?"
Mo Qingrou wasn't interested in these things, but there was hardly any place to go at the moment, so he nodded.
There are some things that are trending now, and Mo Qingrou thought that it would be good to buy some rouge gouache and go back to study the makeup, at least it wouldn't be so boring.
"Satsuki, wrap me up with this and this and these colors of lipstick."
"Yes."
The boss here saw Mo's gentle and generous appearance, and was very happy to let him wander around.
"Girl, I think that Liuxian dress is very suitable for you, why don't we take it down and try it?"
Mo gently followed the girl's eyes and looked over, it was a very good skirt, and it didn't matter if she tried it.
"Go ahead and get it, if it looks good, we can wear the same one."
"Yes."
When the little girl was about to get it, she was preempted by another person.
"It's still good things from the Lingwu Dynasty, like in the frontier, even the royal family rarely has such good material."
Although this voice sounds very charming, I don't know why it always gives people a feeling that they don't like it.
The owner of the voice is a woman wearing a gauze skirt and a gauze scarf, and there is a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, which is obviously the costume of returning to Xinjiang.
"You are not too good in Xinjiang this time, this is the girl of our family who takes a fancy to it first!" Xiao Yue felt very unhappy for a moment.
The woman heard this as if she hadn't heard it.
"Oh? Is it? What are you girls? Do you know who I am? ”
The woman's tone was even more arrogant.
Mo Qingrou saw that she was also dressed in jewelry, presumably the daughter of a prince and nobleman who returned to Xinjiang.
"Okay, Satsuki, forget about this dress."
Mo passed Xiaoyue gently, not wanting to worry too much about this woman.
Originally, it was a special period for An Shuangchi, and if he made trouble for him again, he would be a little too ignorant.
"Girl, we saw this dress first, and now that the Huijiang people have lost the battle, what are we afraid of them doing?"
The more Satsuki thought about it, the more angry she became, how could the girl the general like be wronged like this?
The woman who returned to Xinjiang only felt very angry after hearing this, but Mo gently pulled Xiaoyue and left first, even if she was angry, there was no way.
"Xiaoyue, I also know that you have been by the general's side for a long time, so you have to promise me not to cause trouble for the general during this time."
Although Xiao Yue didn't know what was going on, now that she saw Mo Qing's serious appearance, she probably understood the powerful relationship between it, so she could only blame her a little.
"Girl, I'm sorry, I won't be so competitive in the future."
"Okay, it's not a big deal, I know you're doing it for my good, it's not too early, let's go back."
After Mo said it gently, he also directly took Xiaoyue and the others back to the General's Mansion.
At this time, the Huijiang woman in the Nishang Pavilion also took off the veil on her face, with a pair of beautiful eyes and affection, red lips and white teeth, which can be said to be like a work of art gifted by God.
It's just that at this time, the expression on her face is not as domineering as just now, but very smart and lovely.
"Brother Wang, is this the woman An Shuangchi likes? It looks very ordinary. ”
"Sister, I think that woman is probably much smarter than you."
At this time, behind the woman, a man who was also wearing Huijiang clothes spoke.
Although the woman was puzzled, she was still very convinced by her brother's words, so she didn't say anything more, but silently wrote down Mo Qing's face in her heart.
"I always feel that your plan is still too troublesome, since I already know that this woman is his sweetheart, why don't we go and tie her up. And then it's okay to say everything, isn't it? ”
The man only smiled disdainfully when he heard her words.
"Sister, it's not for nothing that I said that you weren't as smart as the woman just now."
After the man finished speaking, he walked out directly, without talking nonsense a lot.
The mysterious woman had no choice but to hurry, but in the end she bought the dress she had just had.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Mo Qingrou looked at the things he had just bought, and was very interested, and took the trouble to try the color on his hands and face.
I hope to be able to research another makeup that suits her, after all, these days and An Shuangchi's days in the barracks are always plain, but it makes her inevitably feel that her hands are a little itchy.
So, he played his almost "perfect" technique, and used these ancient things that can be said to be simple to paint himself an almost perfect makeup.
It was almost like two people just now, and a few little girls on the side were also stunned.
