Chapter 20: Eavesdropping, Empress Yizhi
I saw this Feng Gongzi, who looked handsome and dusty, with a face like a crown of jade, picturesque eyebrows, and a dignified appearance.
It's a pity that his face is too pale, which affects his handsomeness and extraordinary.
As if sensing Mu Qingyue's gaze, Feng Jinye raised her eyes slightly and looked at her, with a little doubt in her deep eyes.
Mu Qingyue quietly retracted her gaze and looked down at Mu Zixuan.
At this time, Ziyun hurriedly went downstairs and came to everyone's side.
"I'm sorry to have frightened you. I've ordered the troublemakers to be kicked out! Ziyun said apologetically.
Xia Houlin glanced at her and said, "You don't have to blame yourself for this matter, this person comes and goes, how do you know what this person's character is?" ”
"That's what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said." Ziyun hurriedly said.
Mu Qingyue looked at Xiahou Lin, there was a hint of scrupulation in her clear eyes, but soon, she turned her gaze to Ziyun.
"You're the owner of this restaurant?"
There was a hint of displeasure on her beautiful and moving face, and the tone of her voice was unconcealed dissatisfaction.
Ziyun raised his eyes to look at her, and the two quickly exchanged glances, and then, Ziyun said, "Exactly." ”
Mu Qingyue raised her chin and pretended to be displeased and said, "Fortunately, my son is fine today, otherwise, your restaurant will not be able to get rid of it!" ”
As she spoke, she took Mu Zixuan to her side.
"Although your restaurant is open for business, everyone is allowed to come in, how can you let other guests eat with peace of mind? If this happens again, will you still be able to do the business of your restaurant? ”
Ziyun naturally understood what she meant, and still looked like she was apologetic: "What this young lady said is that I will definitely order me to go down, and if I see someone with a bad face in the future, I will never allow such people to enter the restaurant!" ”
Mu Qingyue still had a straight face, as if she was very dissatisfied, but she quietly exchanged glances with Ziyun.
Outsiders only know that the restaurant is run by Ziyun, but they don't know who the real boss behind it is.
Therefore, she naturally can't expose her relationship with the restaurant in front of everyone.
And her words made others misunderstand the meaning.
I saw Xia Houlin stand up and persuade: "Miss Mu, I don't think Boss Ziyun can be blamed for this matter, after all, she doesn't want such a thing to happen." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Ziyun.
Ziyun hurriedly echoed: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that Miss Mu is really sorry! As an apology, I invited you to the meal you just had! ”
Mu Qingyue couldn't help but smile, and secretly said in her heart, even she couldn't see the clues of this Ziyun's acting skills!
Mu Zixuan, who was standing next to her, looked at everyone with a grin, a pair of big watery eyes, dripping and turning.
I thought to myself, this play played by my mother and Sister Ziyun, look at how they were deceived, everyone believed it!
However, what everyone didn't notice was that while Mu Qingyue and Ziyun were talking, Feng Jinye was quietly observing the two of them's every move.
didn't even let go of Mu Zixuan's reaction.
There was an inquiring look hidden in his deep eyes.
Sensing Feng Jinye's gaze, Mu Qingyue turned her head slightly to look at him.
Looking at each other, Feng Jinye not only did not look away, but looked at her more directly.
Mu Qingyue didn't care, he wanted to see it, so she generously let him see it.
He looked at her, and she looked at him too.
Seeing that Feng Jinye had been looking at Mu Qingyue, Xiahou Ming said teasingly: "Brother Feng, why do you keep staring at Miss Mu?" Even if Miss Mu is as beautiful as a fairy, you can't keep staring at people like this, right? ”
As he spoke, he was the first to snicker, looking at Feng Jinye with a bit of banter in his eyes.
On Feng Jinye's pale face, a look of embarrassment appeared.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and said curtly, "Let everyone laugh." ”
"Brother Feng, I understand you." Xia Houming still had a wicked smile on his face, "Miss Mu is so beautiful, you will see that God is also human, and you don't have to feel embarrassed." ”
His ridicule made Feng Jinye even more embarrassed, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Mu Qingyue again.
On the contrary, Mu Qingyue always looked generous, as if Xiahou Ming was not talking about her, but someone else.
And she didn't let go of Feng Jinye's reaction, seeing him so embarrassed and embarrassed, she couldn't help but chuckle.
I felt in my heart that this Feng Gongzi was a little interesting, a big man was so ashamed!
However, what no one noticed was that in Feng Jinye's slightly drooping eyes, there was an unpredictable faint smile.
……
Prime Minister's Office.
"Ma'am." Mama Li followed the Chu family into the house, and couldn't wait to ask, "The queen mother is holding a banquet in the palace, and the young lady who has not left the cabinet in the palace of officials of the fourth rank and above, is this move to find the crown princess for His Royal Highness the crown prince?" ”
Just now, someone from the palace passed the queen's decree, asking the Chu family to take the women who have not left the palace tomorrow to attend the banquet set by the queen herself.
Mu Hanyan, who came in closely, also looked at Chu with an expectant expression.
She loves the prince with all her heart, and she wants to marry the prince as the crown princess.
Moreover, looking at the capital, the young lady in the family of officials above the fourth grade, I am afraid that there is no one who can compare with her.
If it is a banquet tomorrow, she can be appreciated by the queen's mother, and the position of the crown princess must belong to her!
Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan's face couldn't help but show a look of joy, and there was a touch of pride between his eyebrows.
When Chu Shi looked at her, he happened to see the smug look on her face.
"Smoke, at tomorrow's banquet, you have to behave well and strive to win the appreciation of the queen." Chu admonished.
Mu Hanyan owed, and said confidently: "Mother, don't worry, your daughter will not live up to your expectations!" I'm up to this princess! ”
Chu nodded with satisfaction, his face full of approval.
She knows her daughter very well and is very satisfied.
Since she was a child, Hanyan has never disappointed her!
"Madam, the queen is inviting a young lady who has not left the cabinet, I'm afraid this eldest lady can't go, right?" Mama Li lowered her voice and asked cautiously.
Chu Shi glanced at her, and said angrily: "Mu Qingyue, she even has a child, what should she do?" To disgrace the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”
Mama Li was reprimanded, and hurriedly said: "Madame is angry, it's the old slave who is confused, how can you let her go!" ”
"Mother." As soon as Mama Li's words fell, Mu Hanyan immediately spoke, "I think I might as well let the eldest sister enter the palace together." ”
"Hanyan, do you want Mu Qingyue to enter the palace together?" Chu Shi looked at her in surprise.
Mu Hanyan raised her lips and smiled, her smile was a little treacherous: "Mother, listen to me, the queen's mother is feasting on the young lady who has not left the cabinet in the palace of officials of the fourth grade and above." Although the eldest sister is a mother, she is indeed not allowed to be married, is this true? ”
Chu Shi still looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Mu Hanyan was not in a hurry, and continued to say patiently: "So, the eldest sister can naturally enter the palace for a banquet." Besides, mother, why don't you take this opportunity to take your eldest sister to the palace for a banquet, so that everyone knows how much you love your eldest sister? ”
Hearing this, Chu immediately understood what she meant.
"Or thoughtful! Just do as you say, and I will send someone to Furong Garden to spread the word to Mu Qingyue. Chu said, with a calculating look on his face.
Mu Hanyan didn't speak again, and the smile on the corner of his lips gradually deepened, but the smile never reached the bottom of his eyes.
……
When Mu Qingyue took Mu Zixuan back to Furong Garden, she saw Xue Xiang hurriedly come to her.
"Miss, before you come back, Madame sent someone to pass the word, saying that you should follow Madame, Second Miss, and Third Miss into the palace for a banquet tomorrow."
When Mu Qingyue heard this, her delicate brows furrowed, and she looked at Xue Xiang suspiciously: "Do you know why you want to enter the palace for a banquet?" ”
Xue Xiang was just about to speak, when she saw Chaoxia walking along the corridor to the courtyard, and she quickly swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
"Come into the house and say."
Mu Qingyue said, and took the lead in walking towards the house, and Mu Zixuan and Xue Xiang followed closely into the house.
Seeing this, Chaoxia only felt puzzled, and couldn't hold back her curiosity in her heart, so she sneaked outside the house and quietly eavesdropped on the movements in the house.
Entering the house, Mu Qingyue and Mu Zixuan sat at the table together, and Xue Xiang hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
When she put the teacup in front of Mu Qingyue, she suddenly turned her head to look out of the door, and subconsciously wanted to rush out.
However, Mu Qingyue stretched out her hand to stop her.
"Miss?" Yukika looked at her suspiciously.
Mu Qingyue ignored her doubts, and instead asked, "Xuexiang, you said that Madame sent someone to pass the word and let me go to the palace with her and the second and third sisters for a banquet tomorrow?" ”
Her voice was not small, and it seemed that it was deliberately heard by people outside the house.
Xue Xiang reacted quickly, and said also loudly: "Yes, Miss, the slave maid has inquired, it seems to be the queen's will." ”
"The Queen's Will? Then I'm sure I'll have to go! I've never seen a queen mother when I'm so big! Mu Qingyue said, but the corners of her lips evoked a mocking smile.
Would the Chu family really be so kind and take her to the palace for a banquet?
Aren't you afraid that she, a "watery poplar" and a person who "doesn't abide by women's morals", will embarrass the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Chu must have another calculation in her heart, so she will make a plan!
"Miss, the slave maid also heard that the queen is actually preparing to find a princess for His Royal Highness the Prince!" Yukika said again, and glanced towards the door.
Mu Qingyue raised her eyebrows in recognition and said, "Looking for the crown princess?" Xuexiang, you say, if I compete for the position of the crown princess, what are the chances of success? ”
With that, she slowly stood up and walked lightly towards the door.
Xue Xiang also hurriedly followed, and did not forget to answer: "Miss, you are as beautiful as a fairy, and you are captivating the country and the city, this position of the crown princess must be captured!" ”
While talking, both of them came to the door, quietly looking out of the door, looking down at Chaoxia who was eavesdropping.
Chaoxia didn't notice the appearance of the two, and muttered with disdain: "You still want to be the crown princess?" Don't look at yourself for anything! ”
