Volume 1 The Orphan Girl in the Imperial Capital Chapter 53 There is no good feast
Two hours later, Tianshu returned to Beizhuang: "Back to the master, Miss Feng has been sent back." ”
Yue Jingxuan replied lightly, and seeing that he was still kneeling, he raised his eyes and asked, "What else is going on?" ”
"On the way back, the horse pulling the cart was startled, Miss Feng hit her forehead, and her subordinates checked it, it seems that someone dug a pit in the ground, and then injured the horse's leg with a sharpened branch...... "Tianshu bowed his head.
Yue Jingxuan paused with his hand holding the book, and said lightly: "It's common for horses to be startled. ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
Waiting for Tianshu to withdraw, Yue Jingxuan chuckled, with a little smile in his eyes: "What a little woman who will repay her." ”
Thinking of those eyes that were as bright as stars and as quiet as a pool, his heart shook slightly, and he couldn't read a word of the contents of the book, so he simply threw away the book and lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
A quarter of an hour later, he opened his eyes suddenly, and took out the white jade hair clasp from his bosom and held it in his palm.
The hairpin was contaminated with his body temperature, and it felt extra ironing in his palm, but he felt unsatisfied, as if a piece of his heart had been dug out, and the empty desire was filled with something.
Mu Yunlan returned to the mansion, and Wu almost fainted when she saw her face covered in blood: "Miss, you ......"
"Nurse, I'm fine, don't make a noise." Mu Yunlan hurriedly comforted her, "I'll clean it with some water, and then let Bizhu help me with the medicine." ”
"Okay, okay." Wu hurriedly called Bizhu over.
Bizhu helped Mu Yunlan with the medicine, and whispered: "Miss, you are injured on the cheek, fortunately the wound is not deep, but you must also pay extra attention, otherwise I am afraid that it will leave a scar." ”
"Okay, I got it." After she got the medicine, Mu Yunlan rubbed her eyes, "I'm so sleepy, go to sleep first, you guys should rest quickly." ”
Wu was full of worries, and wanted to ask, but seeing that she was unwilling to answer, she could only swallow the words that came to her mouth: "Miss, have a good rest." ”
The room was quiet, Mu Yunlan was lying on the bed limply, but she couldn't fall asleep, she snorted coldly and turned over and sat up holding the quilt: "The more I think about it, the more angry I get!" ”
In the past, she had revenge and hurriedly took revenge, and after the revenge, she forgot about it, just like treating Qi Mingwei, but today, it is clear that she has made the Feng family miss pay the price, and she still feels panicked.
In the end, she tossed for half an hour, and attributed the reason to her concern for beautiful cheeks, which made her feel better.
I didn't sleep well all night, and the next day I saw the post sent by the eldest princess, and I didn't want to pay attention to it more and more.
Wu came in with breakfast, first went to see the wound on Mu Yunlan's cheek, and saw that it was much better, so he was relieved: "Miss, let's eat something." ”
Mu Yunlan lay lazily on the table, as if she had been beaten by water: "Nurse, I don't want to eat." ”
"Miss, are you bothering the post sent by the eldest princess?"
Mu Yunlan couldn't tell what was wrong with her, and she didn't know how to explain when she heard her question, so she simply nodded.
"The eldest princess of Huaiqing is the only sister who stays in the imperial capital today, and her post naturally cannot be refused. It's just that, in the past, this princess has never invited you to a banquet, and this sudden invitation is very strange. ”
Wu couldn't help sighing, now that the lady is gone, everything has to be done by the lady herself, which is really hard and difficult.
Mu Yunlan changed her posture and lay on her stomach, her fingers gently caressing her cheeks: "This post can't be pushed, so I have to go with this face, nurse, you tell me about this eldest princess, I'll pay more attention." ”
"This eldest princess doesn't ask about the world on her face, but in fact she is very close to Concubine Jin and the third prince, you have made the face of the third prince many times, and even her biological mother has been demoted to a concubine, this time...... I'm afraid she'll take the opportunity to embarrass Miss. ”
Mu Yunlan straightened up, and her expression was solemn: "Get close to the third prince?" ”
"Well, the eldest prince and the second prince are of noble birth, and the support of the foreign family is stable, and the eldest princess has little effect in supporting them, but it is better to choose a weaker one, although the Qi family has a high official position, but in the end there is no background, the glory and decline all depend on the emperor's face, and her support is naturally unwanted."
Wu said, a little hesitant: "There is still ...... The eldest princess's colt has been dead for many years, she has been widowed for a long time, and her temperament is a little perverse, so the young lady should pay more attention. ”
"Obedient?"
It wasn't until three days later that Mu Yunlan saw Princess Huaiqing with her own eyes that she knew why the nurse would describe her as obedient.
The princess's mansion was built extremely gorgeously, with pavilions and pavilions in ten steps, and the banquet was set up in the light rain of apricot blossoms, Mu Yunlan followed the maid who led the way, and when she came to the gate of the garden, she was shocked by the arrangement at the gate of the courtyard.
The courtyard gate is built very high and wide, with flower stands on it, wrapped around the vine branches with flourishing flower clusters, and the sun is clearly shining outside, but there are water droplets falling at the door.
The apricot blossoms are slightly raining, and if there is no rain, it will be artificial, which is really worthy of the name.
"Sister Yunlan......"
Mu Qingyao held a paper umbrella with ink and lotus remnants, and the lotus step moved lightly, and a blue leno skirt in the water color of West Lake fluttered with the breeze, setting off her like a fairy among the flowers, noble and dusty.
"What's wrong with my sister's face?"
"Thank you for your concern, it's just a little injury." Mu Yunlan said that the clouds are light and the wind is light.
Mu Qingyao clearly had schadenfreude in her eyes, and she had to pretend to be concerned, and her eldest sister was not afraid of being tired.
"If you don't pay attention to this small injury, it will become a big injury, in case you leave a scar again......" Mu Qingyao pinched the handkerchief and covered the corners of her lips, "Look at what I said, my sister will definitely be fine." ”
"Then borrow the eldest sister's auspicious words."
"Oh, I just talked to my sister, I almost forgot, didn't my sister bring an umbrella?"
Bringing an umbrella? Mu Yunlan's eyebrows moved, she really didn't know that she needed to bring an umbrella to the banquet.
Mu Qingyao walked out with a smile and reached out to hold her arm: "It's okay if you forget, my sister will share an umbrella with me to go in." ”
How kind is this now?
Seeing that she didn't move, a trace of sadness and grievance flashed on Mu Qingyao's face: "What's wrong with my sister?" Don't you want to go with me? ”
"Where is the eldest sister, I'm just wondering, why everyone knows to carry an umbrella, but I forgot."
Even if the eldest princess Huaiqing is proud, she will not joke with the nobles of the whole imperial capital, either she will notify people to bring umbrellas, or she will specially prepare paper umbrellas, how can she come here, there is no news? This made her suspect that it was deliberate.
It seems that the nurse is right, this time it is really a good feast.
Mu Qingyao took Mu Yunlan through the garden gate, and after entering the garden gate, there was a long corridor, the corridor was the same design as the door, because it was open-air, the sunlight shone in, and under the drizzle, rainbows surrounded the corridor, making people almost think that they had come to a fairyland.
Mu Yunlan was a little stunned when she saw it, and sighed in her heart that this design was really exquisite.
Just as he was about to walk out of the corridor, Mu Qingyao suddenly stumbled, as if he had been slipped by the water stains on the ground, the paper umbrella in his hand was offset, and Mu Yunlan was directly exposed to the drizzle.
"Sister Yunlan, I didn't mean to, my foot twisted to ......" Mu Qingyao stood under the corridor, seeing that Mu Yunlan was wet with water, her heart was full of happiness, but her face was full of apologies, "It's all my fault, this dress is wet and appeared at the banquet, the eldest princess is afraid that she will be blamed, so let's do it, I have spare clothes in the carriage, you and I are about the same size, you can make do with it." ”
Mu Yunlan looked at the conspicuous water marks on her dress, and her eyebrows moved slightly: she couldn't figure out which one Mu Qingyao was singing today, but if she wore this wet clothes to go in, it would be even more inappropriate, so she could only go and see Mu Qingyao's spare clothes first.
Mu Qingyao took Mu Yunlan back to the carriage and took out a red Luo skirt: "The last time I saw my sister wearing red, it was extremely good-looking, and I also wanted to make a piece to wear, and I thought that this red shirt was still related to my sister." I'll wait for you outside the carriage, so you can change it quickly. ”
With that, he got out of the carriage and waited at the door.
Mu Yunlan took a closer look at this red Luo skirt, the workmanship and embroidery were extremely exquisite, and there was nothing out of bounds, secretly wondering if she was thinking too much, Mu Qingyao really didn't have any plans in it?
After changing her clothes, Mu Qingyao looked at her, her eyes were full of light: "It's really good, my sister looks extra good in red, okay, the banquet is almost over, let's go in." ”
This time the entry into the garden went smoothly.
The garden is full of apricot trees, at this time, the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, like the pink glow piled up on the branches, the petals are pink, the stamens are goose yellow, and they are particularly beautiful and beautiful.
The wind blows, and from time to time there are petals falling, fluttering and sprinkling, beautiful.
Mu Yunlan suddenly remembered when she and her second brother went on a horse. At that time, her eldest brother and second brother were in the capital, dressed in white, riding horses and flowers, and I don't know how many women from the family fell in love.
Sometimes, the second brother made a bad move, let her put on a man's clothes, and went to the apricot forest to play with him, and then deliberately hid to see that she was in a hurry, until she was really anxious, she deliberately appeared in the dense flowers, just waiting for her to brush the branches and see the bright smiling face.
Spring tour, apricot blossoms blowing all over the head......
Mu Qingyao quietly pushed aside, with an excited smile in her eyes: Mu Yunlan, enjoy today's beautiful scenery, after today, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to see it again.
That red dress is nothing special in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the eldest princess, I am afraid that it is like cutting out the heart and lungs. This was a plan she discussed with her mother, who told her a royal secret:
The eldest princess's concubine was not so much sick and died, but was poisoned by the eldest princess herself, because before the eldest princess married the eldest princess, she had a concubine, and treated her like a jewel, and the concubine's favorite was marigold.
If the concubine was small-minded, it would be nothing, but she was treacherous, and even drugged the eldest princess, so that she did not give birth for eight years, and later was exposed and was beaten to death by the eldest princess.
The concubine was heartbroken, lamenting that she could not marry the concubine before her death, and after her death, she would use a big red marigold wedding dress to give her a funeral, and she would become a monk and get rid of the red dust, and hated the eldest princess who killed his concubine, and the eldest princess was completely heartbroken and secretly poisoned the concubine.
At the edge of the apricot forest, the graceful Princess Huaiqing looked at the red-clothed girl in the depths of the apricot blossoms, with a pair of sharp eyes with a thick disgust, and even a hint of murderous intent: "Whose family is that?" ”
An old lady beside her replied in a low voice: "The eldest princess is the eldest daughter of the Mu family, Mu Yunlan." ”
