Chapter Seventy-Two
Today's atmosphere was not good, Qu Muge didn't want to quarrel with himself anymore, so he replied: "The life of the people is naturally far worse than in the palace, but as long as there is no war, the people still have no worries about clothing and food." It's just that the family that adopted me was not a good person, so I used to have enough to eat, and I always looked forward to the New Year, because only during the New Year can I go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings and have a full meal. Naturally, there are no new clothes, but for the sake of their own face, they will use the new cloth to make a smock for me to wear for two days, and after the first day of the new year, they will take the cloth back and make other clothes. If I get the cloth dirty, I'll get beaten and scolded. ”
"Ah, you used to be so miserable! Presumably, many of the delicacies of the mountains and seas on our table are the first time you have eaten them! Li Muzhen said.
She thought that she had embarrassed Qu Muge, but she didn't know that these words were in the ears of Emperor Yong, which made Emperor Yongdi feel even more distressed.
Emperor Yong reprimanded Li Muzhen: "Compared with your sister, you have to know better!" I heard that you have been eating hard lately, and you have lost a lot of food, and if you do this again in the future, you will not eat it when you are hungry. ”
Li Muzhen was startled, and quickly bowed her head and agreed.
Concubine Xi hurriedly said: "There are still some tribute silks suitable for the little girl to wear, and the concubine will send them to the third princess when she turns around." ”
Qu Muge politely refused: "Thank you, Concubine Xi, no need, it's a thing of the past whether you have enough food or clothing." ”
Emperor Yong also asked unhappily: "Ge'er has returned to the palace, do you still need clothes to wear?" ”
Everyone found out that the emperor was in a very bad mood today, except for Princess Taixuan, almost whoever spoke he yelled, and everyone gradually didn't want to speak, so they silently waited for the arrival of the son.
Qu Muge lent Gong halfway to go outside the hall to breathe, and also found Gu Nanye, who personally led the troops to guard.
"Master Hou, Happy New Year." Qu Muge handed over the scarf he had made for him.
Gu Nanye's eyes lit up a little, but his expression was still inconspicuous, and he just thanked him politely and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
Qu Muge said: "I learned needlework from An Meiren temporarily, you can wear it at home on weekdays, but don't wear it out of the house, so as not to damage your identity......"
Gu Nanye lowered his head and took a closer look, the workmanship was indeed average, which was quite different from Ye Taohua's previous level.
He asked thoughtfully: "You can't be a female celebrity?" ”
Qu Muge thought that he disliked his craft, and reached out to get the scarf: "If you don't want it, just give it back to me, I did it all night!" ”
Gu Nanye raised his hand, and Qu Muge immediately couldn't reach it.
"Who said no."
Qu Muge pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Thank you also for the hand stove, it is very beautiful and very easy to use." ”
Gu Nanye said disappointedly: "After the winter, your handwriting is much uglier, I think it is frozen to your hands, so warm your hands before writing in the future." ”
Qu Muge's brows drooped, but he didn't expect to be invisibly ridiculed by him again.
Gu Nanye looked at the little girl, a little worried.
After the New Year, Emperor Yong must track down the secrets of Zuo Guifei, and the Bai family can't escape, but he wants to take Taixuan out of this matter.
What to do, he has not yet decided.
"Taixuan." Gu Nanye shouted softly.
Qu Muge immediately looked up at him, since she became a princess, Gu Nanye has always called her "Your Highness", and rarely called her name.
"If the Bai family does something wrong, it will affect you, what will you do?"
Qu Muge thought for a while and said, "Everyone's background can't be chosen, just like your father will do something wrong and affect you and your wife, my relatives will also do something wrong and affect me, but you can't know right and wrong because you're afraid that you'll be affected, right?" ”
Gu Nanye nodded appreciatively and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to protect you." ”
On the one hand, Qu Muge was grateful for his protection, and on the other hand, he realized something, and asked, "What happened to the Bai family?" ”
Gu Nanye shook his head and didn't say much: "The old things of the elders don't matter. ”
Among them, Gu Nanye didn't deliberately hide it from her, but he just felt that his ears were dirty, so he didn't listen.
Although he didn't say it, according to some things before and after the second prince and the Wei Min family, Qu Muge probably guessed that it was probably related to the past of Zuo Guifei.
Back then, Concubine Zuo and Concubine Yiwen had been best friends for many years, and they were extremely close to the Bai family, thinking that there was a handle in the hands of the Wei Min family, and now they were taken out by the Wei Min family to blackmail the second prince.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the clan relatives and hundreds of officials all entered the palace to worship, the queen mother and the emperor were very busy, and Gu Nanye also had to strengthen the guard and security check, which was extremely busy.
According to the rules, Qu Muge went to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother and the Emperor in the morning, and then went to the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the queens.
When passing by Zuo Guifei's Liuqing Palace, the palace gate was still closed, and there was no movement.
At the beginning of the new year, everyone at least seemed happy, and no one was so blind to stumble at this time.
The only thing is that there is news from the North Five Institutes, saying that the second prince was cold last night and couldn't get out of bed when he was sick, and no one dared to tell the emperor about this, so as not to eat the head again.
There are also people from the Bai family who come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, and it is the Changfang Tao family who comes.
Tao went to the Tiyuan Hall to greet Qu Muge, and then asked her if she was okay in the palace, and at the end of the kind words, Tao said: "Your second uncle and mother wanted to enter the palace to greet you, but your grandfather was worried that she would go to the Huanyi Bureau to visit Mrs. Wei and cause trouble for the princess, so he didn't let her enter the palace." ”
Min was bent on saving Mrs. Wei and a few nephews, Wei Changfeng was beaten to death, she must have known, and now she may not be so angry and anxious.
Although Qu Muge thinks that the Min family's emphasis on family affection is very commendable, the Wei family's affairs have reached this point, and it is not the Min family, nor the Bai family can save it.
"Wei Min made some mistakes, and now he is being detained by the pro-army guards, and even if the second uncle and mother enter the palace, they won't be able to see it. The eldest aunt went home to persuade the second aunt, and now the affairs of the Wei family and aunt are no longer under the control of our family. ”
Tao was shocked when he heard this, and asked in a low voice, "Does the princess know what exactly she has done?" ”
Although Qu Muge intended to remind the Bai family, remembering what Gu Nanye reminded her last night, she couldn't help but say nothing about the second prince, but said, "I don't know what the specific matter is." ”
After that, Tao couldn't sit still, and Qu Muge also sent her away.
After Tao went home, her calm expression immediately changed, and she almost ran to find Old Lady Bai and Old Lady Bai.
"The Wei Min family has committed another crime, but I'm afraid that the Wei family's matter is not over yet. And when the daughter-in-law left the palace, a palace maid bumped into her, and she stuffed a note for the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law was really scared after reading it......"
Bai Yicheng asked, "What is written on the note?" ”
Dow handed over the note, and there was only one person with the name written on it: "Bai Yan." ”
