Volume 1 The Orphan Girl in the Imperial Capital Chapter 82 Dominate the Crowd
Mu Qingyao smiled elegantly and generously, and smiled with the ladies and ladies who came to the banquet, that posture and appearance, I didn't know that I thought that she was the one who was awarded the title of township king.
Lin Ye didn't look down on her very much, shook the folding fan in his hand and walked out, his big peach blossom eyes with thick disdain.
Wei Hongzheng, who was standing next to the female dependents, was full of discomfort, and when he saw Lin Ye coming out, he hurriedly greeted him: "Lin Ye, you finally came out, I knew that all the women who came were female dependents, so I wouldn't come." β
Lin Ye shook the fan with a fan: "Why don't you come, it's my sister who invites the daughter, and it's me who invites you, what's the matter, my sister is named a countryman, can you not come to give a gift?" β
"Oh, of course I'm going to give a gift to our sister." Wei Hong smiled and took out a jade pendant from his arms, "Look, how about the high-grade mutton fat white jade, I bought it after running most of the imperial capital." β
"Get out, what do you do with the jade pendant for my sister, and you can't exchange it for money to spend, take some real money out of it, and let my sister buy it for herself if she likes it." I won't let my sister accept the jade pendant given by other men!
Wei Hong touched his head and smiled, he was not angry when he knocked it with a folding fan, he really took it out of his purse, and took out a stack of silver tickets: "It's not much, only 1,500 taels." β
Lin Ye suddenly showed a smile: "Well, yes, although one thousand five hundred taels is not much, it's okay, you leave one hundred taels for emergency, and send the rest to the account room." β
"Okay." Wei Hong didn't look distressed at all, but was happy to be able to leave a hundred taels.
Mu Yunlan couldn't help but laugh when she heard their conversation from afar.
Wei Hong's father is Wei Yan, the current waiter of the Ministry of Rites, she heard the nurse say that this waiter of the Ministry of Rites was instructed by her grandfather, so she took special care of her father Mu Zhengmin in the court, and even sent people to visit her twice when her parents died.
"Second brother, Gongzi Wei."
When Wei Hong saw Mu Yunlan, he took half a step back slightly, and his ears turned red involuntarily: "Sister, congratulations." β
Mu Yunlan wore a baby pink eight-piece Luo skirt today, with lotus leaf piping under the skirt, and at a glance, she looked like layers of clouds and snow, and her delicate and weak appearance was like a lotus flower waiting to be released, which made people unable to take their eyes off it at a glance.
Lin Ye almost slapped him: "What's the mess called!" "It's not like you haven't seen my sister, why are you blushing?
Wei Hong also realized that he had lost his words, but he looked up at Mu Yunlan and smiled, and he was nervous for a while, and he didn't know how to react: "That...... Ms. Mu...... I just ......"
When I saw Sister Yunlan before, most of her were wearing men's clothes, and the only time I saw her wearing women's clothes was in the eldest princess's Mingyue Garden, but that time she was dressed very low-key, far from impressing people with today's dress.
Mu Yunlan suddenly smiled, and her flower-like face became more and more beautiful: "Master Wei doesn't need to mind, thank you for your congratulatory gift." β
Wei Hong hurriedly handed over the jade pendant: "Sister, this is also a congratulatory gift for you." β
As soon as Yue Jingxuan came in, he saw a red-faced hairy boy offering great hospitality to Mu Yunlan, and he also gave gifts such as jade pendants. The most annoying thing is that Mu Yunlan took it generously, and smiled with a face.
"His Royal Highness King Ning'an." When Mu Qingyao saw the handsome and unparalleled appearance of King Ning'an, her heart couldn't help shaking, and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute him.
Originally, many ladies and ladies who came to the banquet were very unimpressed with Mu Yunlan, but now that they saw that King Ning'an had come to congratulate her, their attitude couldn't help but be much more formal.
"Everyone, this king is here today to thank Mu Xiangjun for saving his life to this king, if you are too polite, it seems that this king is noisy."
Mu Qingyao smiled: "Where did the prince say, if you can come, it is already full of brilliance." Yun Lan, are you right? β
Mu Yunlan smiled lightly and remained silent, quietly watching Mu Qingyao answer for her and take care of the guests.
Mu Qingyao met her gaze, only to feel that there was a transparent light in that look, as if it had seen through her mind at a glance, making her feel that she was a joke.
"Mu Xiangjun." Yue Jingxuan didn't seem to hear Mu Qingyao's words, but took a wooden box from the hand of Tianshu behind him and handed it to Mu Yunlan in person, "The grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, don't dislike the little congratulatory gift." β
Mu Yunlan couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, she thought that the imperial uncle would say that there was no way to repay the grace of saving her life, only to make a promise with her body! Oops, it's all to blame on the second brother, a few days ago, I wandered around with him, read a lot of books, and I learned badly.
She took the box, her fingers inadvertently touched Yue Jingxuan's fingers, and a cool chill entered her fingertips, making Mu Yunlan blink slightly: Uncle Huang's physique is so good in summer, holding him is like holding a moving iceberg.
Ahh
After Yue Jingxuan withdrew her hand, she gently twisted her fingertips, only to feel that the places on her hands that were touched by her were hot: "Why don't you open it and take a look?" β
Mu Yunlan, who was curious, obediently opened the box, and immediately caused the surrounding people to inhale.
"This ...... Could this be the legendary iceberg snow lotus? β
"I heard that the princess of the previous dynasty had a heart disease, which could not be cured for a long time, but fortunately I got an iceberg snow lotus, and I boiled the medicine and took it to heal immediately! This iceberg snow lotus can be encountered but cannot be found, and its value is incalculable. β
"Lord Wang, this gift is too valuable." Mu Yunlan was also surprised.
Lin Ye stepped forward and closed the cold box, took it and hugged it in his arms: "Thank you for the congratulatory gift, please take a seat." "Joke, his sister has donated blood for King Ning'an to continue her life, what's wrong with eating him an iceberg snow lotus?
When he heard about this a few days ago, he almost carried his sword to fight to the death with Yue Jingxuan. He doesn't have any big ambitions, and he doesn't care about the national politics and the court, he just thinks about the safety of his family.
But his sister Bisheng and Yue Jingxuan got involved, and personally donated blood to him as a medicine guide, so that the chagrin in his heart accumulated like a mountain, and there was nowhere to vent Bisheng.
Before he could sit down here, there was another announcement at the door: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince have arrived!" β
Now the guests are more and more dumbfounded, the third prince is Mu Xiangjun's fiancΓ©, it is normal to come to congratulate, but hasn't the eldest prince always hated such banquets, why did he come?
Yue Xiaohan sent a complete set of pigeon's blood gem heads, Mu Yunlan glanced at it and let people put it away with a lack of interest, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the dragon and phoenix blood jade bracelet on his wrist.
She herself is not very keen on clothes and jewelry, and after the fresh energy of her beauty some time ago, she is now a little too lazy to dress up.
Waiting for Yue Xiaoqing to send the prepared gift, Mu Yunlan's eyes suddenly lit up.
She walked over directly and touched the whip cherishedly: "What a beautiful whip." "Eighteen kinds of weapons, she is the best at using whips and long swords, when she led the troops to fight, one hand whip is the general of the Great Qi State, and when she heard the whip, she trembled.
Yue Xiaoqing showed a smile: "This is what I made with my own hands, as long as you like it." β
"Do it yourself? Will you also make whips? "His Royal Highness the Great Prince is not simple!
"Well, I learned from a master when I was in the army."
Mu Yunlan wanted to play it directly, but when she saw the many young ladies around her, she crushed this idea to death.
Yue Xiaohan's face was not good: "Big brother, Yun Lan is a woman, it seems a little inappropriate for you to send her a whip." β
Yue Xiaoqing turned her head: "Whether the gift is suitable or not depends on what the recipient thinks." β
Mu Yunlan said neatly: "I like it, thank you His Royal Highness!" β
Yue Xiaohan's heart tightened, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, but his heart was already angry.
Lin Ye saw Yue Xiaohan's face, and snickered in his heart: Hehe, you didn't look down on my sister before, but now that you have changed your mind, my sister is not rare, she deserves it!
The ladies and ladies did not feel that it was worth participating in this banquet, not only saw the legendary iceberg snow lotus, but also saw a rare good show, but I don't know what is good about this Mu Xiangjun, and he can attract the two princes to argue for her.
In a somewhat eerie atmosphere, the banquet officially began.
Mu Qingyao still had the posture of a master, even if Lin Ye smiled at her coldly and mocked her many times, causing Mu Yunlan to be more wary of her.
It seems that forcing her to kneel that day not only did not collapse her psychological defense, but triggered her transformation, and now her arrogance and impetuousness have faded, which makes people a little unable to see through her mind.
Qi sat in the middle of the ladies, and was extremely satisfied with Mu Qingyao's performance, so that she could have the demeanor of the Mu family's daughter-in-law.
She swept her cold eyes over Mu Yunlan, and a sneer appeared on her lips: Yao'er, don't worry, today's mother will remove the scourge of Mu Yunlan for you!
The atmosphere of the banquet is just right:
"Poof!" With a bang, Qi suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, causing the people around him to scream!
Mu Qingyao was shocked and exclaimed, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" β
"Mrs. Qi, why did you suddenly vomit blood when you weren't okay just now?"
"Quick, get a doctor!"
Mu Yunlan said secretly, and looked back at Bizhu: "Go and see the situation of the eldest aunt." β
As soon as Bizhu stepped forward, she was scolded by Mu Qingyao: "Go away, my mother's current situation is unknown, what do you want to do?" β
One and another word made many people around look at it, could it be that this maid did something before? However, if a maid dares to attack Mrs. Qi, there must be a master behind her.
Mu Yunlan's expression was grim: "Eldest sister, there will be a while before the doctor rushes over, Bizhu also understands medical skills, let her take a look for the eldest aunt first, don't delay the condition, what do you say?" β
"No, the doctor will be here soon!" Mu Qingyao's eyes were full of tears, but she tried her best to be strong.
That pitiful and resolute and calm appearance made many people nod secretly, although this Miss Mu Da had damaged some reputation at the emperor's banquet, her upbringing was still excellent.
Hearing this, Mu Yunlan sneered in her heart, and didn't let Bizhu go to check her pulse, so she simply waited for the eldest lady to continue to make moves.
Soon, Dr. Zhao, the special person of the big house, rushed over, and without saying a word, he stepped forward to help the eldest lady diagnose her pulse.
"This ...... Is this poisoned? β
"What, poisoning?" Mu Qingyao's face turned pale, and she hugged the eldest lady with a shocked and distressed expression, "Doctor Zhao, are you ...... Can you help take a look...... Is there a problem with the things on the table? β
