Chapter 109: Confession

"Well, it's delicious. "Lin Xiaoxiao is a foodie, and she doesn't care about anything when she sees food.

"Oh, yes, I think it's delicious, but unfortunately I can only make a few things, otherwise I could have made more. Concubine Yan covered her lips and smiled.

"Oh, you did it yourself?"

"These are not, I was in a hurry just now, I didn't have time to prepare, it was made by the maidservant, but I can only teach them these things, I couldn't eat them at home before, so I can only try to make them myself, but after all, I don't see much, and I don't have to learn if I want to do it. ”

"Oh. Lin Xiaoxiao responded dryly, feeling that the snacks in her mouth were not right, how could it sound like this Yan Concubine had been complaining to them.

Mu Ran smiled and handed her the tea, and said helplessly, "You eat slowly, don't choke." ”

"Hehe, I'm not afraid that I won't have to eat if it's slow. Lin Xiaoxiao naturally took the teacup and drank it, hiding the depression on her face.

"Who's going to rob you, every time. Mu Ran smiled.

Concubine Yan watched the interaction between the two, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes, and she also contained a sense of jealousy, and sighed, "You have such a good relationship, I don't know that I still think you are sisters." ”

"Haha, you're right, we're sisters, sisters who are closer than sisters. Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"You said that Ling Muran entered the palace, and he went directly to Feiyan Pavilion?" Concubine Shu was looking at the chess game and studying the chess game, and when she heard this, she immediately frowned, and as soon as the chess pieces fell to the plate, it instantly became a dead game, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to sweep the chess pieces away.

"Yes, mother, she didn't even notice the queen. ”

"Hmph, Ling Muran has a Divine Doctor Valley behind her, her identity is different, she doesn't even care about the emperor, let alone the queen, but Concubine Yan really has two brushes, and she can fall into this big fish. Concubine Shu snorted coldly.

The aunt beside her said, "No wonder I excused herself from her favor with illness a while ago, and I thought she was sensible and knew how to back down, but I didn't think that she secretly put a fishhook behind." ”

"Oh, this fish...... Maybe you can catch it, but I don't know if you have the ability to eat it, so you go and inquire and see what is happening with the queen and the other ladies. ”

"Yes. ”

"Eh, wait, by the way, I ordered someone to send some food snacks over, this Concubine Yan has always been 'simple', don't snub the guests. Concubine Shu picked up the chess game again and began to set up the chess game that had been cleaned up.

"The slave knows. ”

In Huiyuan Palace, Concubine Hui listened to the attendant's report, and her hand drinking tea couldn't help but pause, and then said lightly, "Hmph, the grasshopper after the autumn, it won't take long to jump." ”

"But Niangniang, Miss Ling's identity is different now, if Concubine Yan really gets her as a backer, I'm afraid this identity will also rise, and the emperor may look at her differently again. ”

"This Divine Medicine Valley is not her Ling Muran's, but you are also right, Ling Muran's identity is different now, and the people around her will be a little happy. Concubine Hui put down the teacup, "This distinguished guest comes to the door, we can't snub people, you go to Feiyan Pavilion to invite Miss Ling and Concubine Yan, just say that the palace will have a banquet tonight." ”

"Yes. By the way, there is another person who entered the palace with Miss Ling, and the relationship between the two seems to be unusual. ”

"Oh, who is it?"

"It's Dr. Lin's daughter, Lin Xiaoxiao. ”

"Is it her?Lin Xiaoxiao, who gave a gift to King Ruyang last time?" As soon as she heard Lin Xiaoxiao's name, Concubine Hui's brows immediately furrowed, and she didn't even have such a defensive expression when she heard Concubine Yan.

"Yes, sis. ”

"Does the emperor know?" Concubine Hui lowered her face, since the last gift, the emperor seems to have always had a good impression of Lin Xiaoxiao, if it weren't for Lin Xiaoxiao's gift to King Lang to show his admiration for him, I'm afraid the emperor would directly accept her as a concubine.

"The emperor knows about it, but there is no movement, but he has ordered someone to prepare lunch. ”

"Preparing for lunch? so early? Hmph, how could the emperor have been concerned about eating, it seems that the palace is also going to join in the fun, so there is no need to prepare for the night banquet. ”

"Yes, then do you still have to pass the word?"

"No need, it's a good day today, and Hongu wants to go outside too. ”

Mu Ran sat down, and he received several refreshments alone, and the table could hardly be placed.

Concubine Yan smiled, "Mu Ran is really popular and enviable, like me, I don't have a single friend." ”

"Hehe, different identities, different treatments. Mu Ran shook his head and smiled, looked at a table of dim sum again, and lost his appetite when he looked at it.

"It's a good day today, let's not nest in the house, why don't we go out for a walk, I haven't been to this palace a few times, but I want to watch it well." ”

Concubine Yan is favored, the location of Feiyan Pavilion is not bad, it is not remote, the surrounding scenery is not bad, and it is not far from the largest imperial garden, Jinglan Garden.

"It's quite beautiful here, I heard that there are eight gardens in the palace, all with their own characteristics, and there are strange scenes?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the garden full of various orchids and took a breath.

"Hehe, I've heard about it too, but it's a pity that I've only come up with the emperor a few times in this Jinglan Garden, the queen likes this garden very much, and often plays the piano here, I don't understand this, I'm afraid of bumping into the queen, and I usually don't dare to come. Concubine Yan smiled.

But now there are indeed people in Jinglan Garden who have taken the lead, but it is not the queen, but the concubine.

"The concubine has seen Concubine Hui. Concubine Yan hurriedly asked for a salute.

"I've seen Concubine Hui. Mu Ran and Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at each other and saluted.

"Eh, don't be polite, Sister Yan has been getting better recently, it's rare to see you come out for a walk, these two are Mu Ran and Xiaoxiao, I just learned from the queen that the two of them entered the palace, but I didn't think it was a coincidence. ”

That's really a coincidence, the three of them heard the words, and their thoughts were different.

'Coincidentally' met Concubine Hui, this garden can't be swimmed, and at the invitation of Concubine Hui, they simply drink tea and enjoy flowers in the garden.

This flower appreciation, the number of people gradually increased, starting with Concubine Hui, and then successively adding a few more concubines who 'passed by'.

At noon, when the emperor learned of this, he simply ordered someone to hold a banquet in Jinglan Garden, and the queen and the four concubines, except for Concubine Hui who was present, were all invited.

The queen excused herself on the grounds that she was unwell, but it was rare that Murong Feirong, who had never liked to participate in the party, participated, and also brought her daughter, the thirteenth princess, Feng Lingshuang.

The little girl is only three years old this year, she looks very cute and beautiful, with a pair of big eyes dripping and rolling, holding curiosity about the surroundings, but very quiet.

Mu Ran already paid more attention to Mu Rongfei, and when she saw this child, she couldn't help but pay more attention to it, in general, this child should also be her little niece.

Most women always have no resistance to children, and Mu Ran wants to rub the cute little bun in her arms at this moment.

Her eyes are so revealing that others can't ignore them, seeing that her attention has been on Concubine Rong's mother and daughter, many people can't help but feel depressed.

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled and raised his hand to his youngest daughter who had been sitting quietly next to Concubine Rong and said, "Shuangshuang, go and say hello to those two sisters." ”

"Yes, Father. The little girl was stunned, turned her head to look at her mother, and when she saw her mother nodding, she got up and walked down the steps cautiously towards Mu Ran's table.

Mu Ran's eyes lit up, but he heard the emperor continue to smile and say, "This is the daughter of me and Rong Guifei, the thirteenth princess Feng Lingshuang, speaking of which, Rong Guifei is also Zuo Xiang's niece, you are also relatives now, Shuangshuang should be called Aunt Mu Ran, right, Fei'er?"

The field fell silent for a moment, and everyone subconsciously looked at Rong Guifei, and sure enough, she saw that her face was a little colder, and her pretty face was like a layer of ice, but she still said coldly, "Yes." ”

The expressions of the concubines were a little more subtle, except for Concubine Yan, who didn't know why.

Concubine Rong's life experience is not a secret, everything you should know when you entered the palace is known, which can be said to be quite embarrassing.

It's just that Concubine Rong got the favor as soon as she entered the palace, and the emperor maintained it everywhere, although Zuo Xiang didn't have anything to do with her, but there was no bad mood, and everyone could only talk about it in private, and it had been forgotten over the years.

Now the emperor has mentioned it like this......

No wonder Concubine Rong Guifei came out today, it seems that the emperor is planning to use their mother and son to play the family card to win over Ling Muran.

Concubine Wan lowered her eyes and took a lazy sip of tea, but there was a hint of mockery under her bewitching eyes.

What can the six palaces do, after all, they can't compete with a sharp word, the king's heart has always been only on himself, and it is better to use the right time to pave a good road for himself than to entangle those infatuated grievances.

It's a pity, Concubine Rong will never understand, this is also the reason why she doesn't want to be friends with Mu Rongfei, this woman is more than smart, but unfortunately some things are not rational after all.

Mu Ran also shook his hand weakly, and then slowly let go, looked at the little girl who had already walked to their table and saluted hesitantly, and said with a smile, "Hehe, my father-in-law told Mu Ran about it last time during the winter hunt, and Mu Ran wanted to find time to pay a visit at that time, but I didn't know that I was in a hurry to go back at that time, and I was in a hurry, come on, Xiao Shuangshuang, call my aunt quickly." ”

When Mu Ran said this, everyone, including the emperor and Concubine Rong, was surprised, but he didn't expect Zuo Xiang to tell her, does that mean that the Lu family actually recognized Mu Rongfei, but it was just because the two elders' lives were not easy to recognize.

Concubine Rong looked at Mu Ran with surprise and confusion in her eyes, with a touch of deep thought in her eyes, but when she saw her daughter's inquiring eyes, she had to nod.

"Auntie. The little girl got her mother's permission, and immediately called her aunt crisply.

"Eh, come and show my aunt, this is your aunt Xiao. Mu Ran responded with a smile, beckoned the little girl to come over, and introduced Lin Xiaoxiao to her.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but raise her hand and gently touched the little girl's face, and said with a smile, "What Aunt Xiao, it sounds like a little aunt, just call your sister." ”

"Then how can you do it, so that you are not inferior to me, otherwise you will call me the eldest aunt in the future, she is the little aunt. Mu Ran shook his head directly, teasing the little girl and smiling, "Come, little Shuangshuang, call the eldest aunt and the little aunt." ”

"Big aunt, little aunt. "The little girl doesn't have to ask her mother this time, she calls people from a good voice, her voice is crisp and soft, and she feels cute when she listens to it.

"Oh, it's so cute and cute, your majesty, you're not kind, don't you want to put this little baby on the table today, wouldn't it lead Mu Ran to think about it day and night. ”

"Hehe, if Mu Ran likes it, you can come to the palace to walk around as much as you want, otherwise you can take Shuangshuang back to live for a day or two. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Rong's originally slightly relaxed face turned a little colder, but she didn't say anything.
