"Cousin, I don't choose what to say for a while." Mu Qingyao tried her best to maintain an indifferent expression, and explained softly in her voice, "Please don't blame my cousin." After saying that, she didn't get a response, and she couldn't help but look up.

Yue Xiaohan turned his head to look at the entrance of the garden, Mu Yunlan was walking over, and everyone's eyes in the garden were focused.

She was wearing a water-red dress, and the skirt was embroidered with a large graceful and luxurious peony with colored silk threads, which was originally a very elegant and vulgar pattern, but on her body it looked mellow and gorgeous, noble, and even more amazing was the jewelry she was wearing.

Red agate bracelet, ruby silk bead hairpin, glazed inlaid pearl earrings...... The intense red color sets off her whiter and more moving, and the whole person seems to glow.

The most brilliant thing is the drop-shaped forehead pendant hanging from the center of the eyebrows, red as blood, which makes the pair of clear eyes with a bewitching light, which is as charming as a demon spirit falling into the world.

Feeling the amazed or jealous gazes around her, Mu Yunlan hooked the corners of her lips slightly, swept to Mu Qingyao and Yue Xiaohan in the water pavilion, and walked straight towards them.

Yue Xiaohan looked at the bright and moving girl in front of him, only felt that his heart was hot for a while, cold for a while, and his mood was complicated and difficult to distinguish, she was his fiancée, but she was repeatedly disrespectful to his mother, and she tried her best to distance herself from him......

Mu Qingyao pulled the silk handkerchief in her hand to death, eager to tear Mu Yunlan off as a silk handkerchief in her hand.

Mu Yunlan, who noticed her expression, was extremely happy, her eldest sister was most proud of her beauty, and now she saw someone pressing her at this point, but at her own birthday banquet today, she didn't blow up her lungs?

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and the eldest sister is polite."

Mu Qingyao got up, looked at Mu Yunlan, and smiled at the corner of her lips: "Fourth sister, your clothes and jewelry are beautiful, and they are the most valuable and brilliant among the sisters in our house." ”

Is this pulling hatred for her? After all, she is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, and she wears the things she doesn't have, which is a matter of no return.

"This set of jewelry is from my mother's dowry, thinking of my eldest sister's birthday, the guests in the house are like clouds, I am too plain and rude." I wear my mother's things, can you control it?

Mu Qingyao bit her lip, looking at Mu Yunlan's eyes almost burst into flames, such a good thing, Mu Yunlan is also worthy of this slut?

Mu Yunlan looked at the chessboard on the table, with a look of curiosity in her eyes: "The third prince is playing chess with his sister?" ”

Yue Xiaohan looked at her, and the waves in her eyes surged slightly: "Yes, do you want to have a game?" As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had been expecting her to pay attention to himself, and he couldn't help but feel happy just by being watched by those eyes.

"The eldest sister is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and in front of her, I will not be ugly." Mu Yunlan said, casually picked up a sunspot and played with it, the white and slender fingers were delicate as if they could pinch out the water, which was better looking than jade, causing Yue Xiaohan to almost lose his mind.

He opened his mouth to say something, but he heard someone behind him talking: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince is also here." ”

Mu Yunlan saw Yue Xiaoqing, who was dressed in a dark robe, strode in, casually placed the chess pieces on the chessboard, and then walked out of the pavilion.

Yue Xiaohan's heart choked, and a thick discomfort rose to her heart. He had never felt such a mood, but felt extremely uncomfortable, and couldn't help lowering his head to prevent himself from continuing to lose control, but he was stunned at the moment he saw the chessboard.

Originally, his sunspot had been besieged, and it was a must-lose. Now, because Mu Yunlan placed a son and gave up a corner, he saved the overall situation and gave him the strength to fight again.

I don't know why, he suddenly remembered what Mu Yunlan once said: "In the past, I was bad in all kinds of things, but I liked you the most......" Now, she has become better, but she doesn't like him anymore?

Mu Qingyao didn't expect the eldest prince to come, full of surprises, although she didn't like the eldest prince who didn't know poetry and songs, and only knew how to fight on the battlefield, but he could come to congratulate her on her birthday, which was enough to make her the envy of the young lady of the imperial capital.

Yue Xiaoqing saw Mu Yunlan, and her eyes were full of surprise: "You look good today." ”

Mu Yunlan couldn't help but smile, and the honest man praised the person for being extra useful: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, your dark robe today is also very heroic." ”

The eldest prince nodded, revealing a slightly stiff smile.

Mu Yunlan stared at him curiously: "I've seen you smile before, it's natural, why are you smiling strangely when I see you these two times?" ”

Yue Xiaoqing's eyes flickered, and a trace of red drifted through the roots of her ears: "I was studying in the barracks, and I accidentally injured my teeth." "In fact, the Imperial Doctor told him that it was best not to open his mouth for half a month, but when he saw Mu Yunlan, he couldn't help it.

Mu Yunlan's eyes widened slightly, and her clear eyes were full of bright smiles: "Haha, you are the prince, and someone dares to hurt you, who has such courage, you must introduce it to me another day." ”

"It's my mother's cousin Li Yu."

"I've heard that he and the Ning family are called the sons of the two masters. Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world. ”

Mu Yunlan read the last sentence quite profoundly, she remembered this sentence very well, because many people used this sentence to praise her two brothers, but her eldest brother can afford this sentence, and the second brother is far behind, in her mother's words, she is recruiting cats and dogs all day long, and she is not doing her job.

Moreover, he couldn't even insist on not doing his job, so he had to investigate the reasons after his parents died in battle, and finally died wearing a bloody armor.

Yue Xiaoqing noticed the sudden sadness around her, and couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong with you?" "Did he just say something that made her sad? He didn't say anything just now, he just mentioned his cousin Li Yu, could it be that Yun Lan is also like other women, who loves his cousin in his heart and can't ask for it?

He was so attentive that he didn't notice that Mu Qingyao was saluting him on the side, so that Mu Qingyao couldn't get up, so he could only maintain the posture of saluting.

Mu Qingyao maintained a half-squatting posture, her face was faintly blue, and she only felt that everyone around her was laughing at her and watching her jokes. After the half-squat ceremony lasted for a long time, her legs trembled sorely, and suddenly, she was unsteady and fell to the side.

Yue Xiaohan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and her tone was tinged with anger: "Big brother, Qingyao is thinking about you saluting, how can you turn a blind eye?" ”

"Forgive me." Yue Xiaoqing turned her head and looked at Yue Xiaohan as she spoke, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, "Third brother, there is a difference between men and women, it is extremely indecent for you to support her like this." ”

Mu Qingyao's beautiful cheeks were suddenly dyed with shame, her face was as delicate as a peach blossom, and she hurriedly struggled to get up from Yue Xiaohan's arms.

"Big brother, Qingyao and I are cousins, and my brother is holding my sister who can't stand steadily because of the long salute time, it's understandable, you are too careful."

Mu Qingyao, who was originally full of shyness, suddenly turned pale, she looked up at Yue Xiaohan in disbelief, her ears buzzed, and only the words of brother and sister remained...... She had been in love with him for so long, didn't he notice it at all, and still regarded her as a sister?

Mu Yunlan stood aside, thinking a little gloatingly: It seems that the goddess has a heart, and King Xiang has no dreams, so I originally thought that these two people were in love.

When Yue Xiaohan saw her expression, she only felt as if she had been punched hard in her heart.

Yue Xiaoqing was still thinking about Mu Yunlan's sadness before, but now that she was suddenly happy again, she always felt a little confused, thinking that her mother had said that her daughter's mind was the most difficult to guess, so she was also relieved: "There are still a few jars of good wine in my house, and I will send them to you in the afternoon." ”

Mu Yunlan looked at the looks of the young ladies around her, and understood that she was in the limelight today, and when she heard the wine, she was immediately diverted: "Okay." ”

The Qi family came and saluted the eldest prince and the third prince: "I have seen the eldest prince and the third prince. ”

"Madame, excuse me."

The smile on Qi's face softened: "Qingyao, the banquet will start soon, you should go and change your clothes." ”

Mu Qingyao was stunned for a moment, changing clothes? The clothes she is wearing now are specially prepared, why do she need to change her clothes? Although she was puzzled, she didn't ask stupidly, but after saluting the two princes, she obediently retreated with the Qi family.

There are maids who come to guide the guests to the table, Mu Yunlan ranks fourth in the Mu family, and in front of her is the second sister Mu Wanyi and the third sister Mu Jinxiu in the second room, both of them are concubines, and their sense of presence in the house is very low, this is the first time she has seen two sisters.

Mu Wanyi looked demure, with delicate eyebrows and a gentle smile on her face, and when she saw Mu Yunlan looking at her, she showed a soft smile.

Mu Jinxiu's appearance is slightly lower than Mu Wanyi, but she is also beautiful and graceful, but she always lowers her head and looks at the table in front of her, as if she wants to see a flower on the cup above.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Mu Yunlan's heart, her second aunt had a cool personality, gave birth to two sons-in-law, her status was very stable, and she was very lenient to the concubines and concubines below, as long as she didn't make mistakes, she would be treated well.

During the Chinese New Year, she heard her second aunt say several times how many clothes she had to buy and how many jewelry she had created for Mu Jinxiu.

Suddenly, I don't know who sighed: "The eldest lady is here." ”

Everyone looked over and saw Mu Qingyao walking out slowly. The long black and silky hair was coiled into a beautiful bun, a few strands of broken hair were scattered, bringing out a bit of flowing agility, and the light blue long skirt was replaced by a lilac floor-length skirt, and the skirt was embroidered with peacock feathers, which shone as she walked.

Wearing a red gold treasure hairpin on her head, obliquely inserted with gold and silk inlaid with rubies and double luans dotted with emerald steps, the steps are decorated with a pair of wings about to fly, with her steps wings fluttering, brilliant and shining.

"It's so beautiful......"

"I don't know how many embroidery girls' eyes will be ruined in this dress."

"That step is precious, and it looks like the regulation in the palace."

Speaking of the palace, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize that this brocade concubine is the aunt of the eldest lady of the Mu family, although she was demoted from a concubine to a concubine, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the prince is an adult, so maybe she will rise back tomorrow.

Feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on herself, Mu Qingyao had a feeling of raising her eyebrows, and the arrogance of being a noble girl returned to her face, making her more and more stunning and moving.
