Chapter 53: Yiyang
Cui Peiran sat down with Mingshu's hand, and said slowly: "I heard that it is best for the Queen Mother to choose a little lady to keep in front of her, read the scriptures, and follow the rules." β
Mingshu felt that Cui Peiran was implying that she could, she thought about it, she had no father or mother, and her grandmother and the queen mother were sisters, which was indeed extremely suitable.
But Cui Peiran instigated her, there must be a purpose.
"Among our girls, you are the most well-behaved and know how to take care of the elderly. We talked about you, and we all said you were suitable. Cui Peiran smiled kindly at Mingshu, "What do you think?" β
There was a commotion outside, from the Lang gentlemen who were playing with the pitcher not far away. Ming Shu and Cui Peiran looked at each other at the same time, and saw Liu Bing arching his hand to everyone.
Mingshu withdrew her eyes and frowned.
Cui Peiran likes Liu Bing, but she doesn't hinder Cui Peiran for anything.
"The Queen Mother hasn't come yet, how can we guess what her old man means." Mingshu smiled.
But it was impossible for her to go.
The Queen Mother is just looking at each other today, and she will ask for their opinions below. Cui Peiran just wanted to take advantage of the cheapness she couldn't refuse to spread her words to the ears of the Queen Mother.
But she can also not take a position.
Cui Peiran was a little anxious, "If it's true, is Ling Ling willing to go?" β
"Do you want the Queen Mother to wait for me to pick these things?" Mingshu choked.
"I'm just asking, what are you going to do so seriously?" Cui Peiran's face was a little hot.
Mingshu also said quietly: "Just ask to play, I also want to respect the intention of the Queen Mother." β
Cui Peiran couldn't, so he had to stop talking.
Liu Yurun pulled Mingshu back, and said with a little headache: "You have to deal with her when you go back." He pouted.
Mu Qingwan's expression was faint: "Didn't Ling Ling deal with it very well?" After a pause, "It's you, don't be in a hurry to lose your temper if you are provoked in the future." β
Liu Yurun wrinkled his nose dissatisfied.
I heard that the queen mother's honor guard had arrived, and several people dressed up and saluted to welcome the queen mother.
This is the first time Ming Shu has seen the Queen Mother since she can remember. She looks very similar to her grandmother, but her bearing is different.
She had never seen the Queen Mother in her previous life.
The old man in front of him has a faint sandalwood on his body, his eyebrow bones are high, and his lower court is long. Holding a string of small-leaf rosewood Buddha beads in his hand, he dialed them one by one.
looked at the girls lightly, and only then did a smile appear on their cold and majestic faces, "One by one, they are all very bright, and they make people happy when they look at them." β
Mingshu's gaze fell on Princess Yiyang, who was beside the Queen Mother.
Yiyang is the only princess of the saint, her mother is the mother of the country, and her eldest brother is the prince of the world, and she is the most noble little lady in the world.
She noticed Mingshu's gaze and curved the corners of her mouth slightly.
The Queen Mother followed Yiyang's gaze towards Mingshu, thought for a while, and then said, "You are the seventh mother of Pingxi Hou Mansion?" β
Mingshu took a few steps forward and saluted, before he said solemnly: "Yes." β
The Queen Mother was a little bored, it turned out to be a stunned child. But he also said in a gentle tone: "Your grandmother often talks about you in front of me, but she knows the rules better." β
"Empress Dowager Xie's approval."
The Queen Mother waved her hand, and Mingshu also retreated.
Yiyang looked at Mingshu with interest. She was born beautiful, but everyone else was peeking at her.
She was wearing a long colored gown and a snow-white makeup skirt, which made her back slender, her neck slender, and her skin was like snow.
Soothes distant mountain eyebrows, full of apricot eyes. Just where you stand, your whole body is elegant and noble.
Such a person, with a simple pearl on his forehead, and a snow-white pearl hairpin on his black sideburns, is like an immortal.
The whole person seems to have brilliance, and everyone who can be called around is discolored.
It's no wonder that Daqi has been prevalent for decades with pearls into makeup.
The Queen Mother said a few more words, and she was lazy. Prince Gong and Princess Gong hurriedly personally supported the Queen Mother and rested at the back.
The dull atmosphere in front of me dissipated.
But no one went up to take the initiative to talk to Yiyang, firstly, because her identity was respected, and secondly, because she was too immortal.
Mingshu took the initiative to praise Yiyang and said, "Your Highness's pearl is so beautiful." β
Yiyang raised his hand and touched the dan on his forehead, and said with a smile: "I love appliquΓ© dan the most, I used to make all kinds of gemstone gold tin in the past, but it is still a pearl that is warm and moist and does not capture the color, and does not lose the standard." β
Mingshu blinked and smiled, and said, "There is nothing that can be better than His Highness." β
Yiyang just looked at Mingshu and smiled.
After a while, he said: "Grandmother often heard the old lady mention you, and thought you were a lively person, but I was surprised to see that you were so well-behaved." β
In her previous life, when she was a child, she was quite lively.
Mingshu didn't know how to answer, so she had to smile lightly.
Someone came to spread the word that the queen mother invited the princess over, and Mingshu bowed and withdrew.
Liu Yurun was still staring at the back of Princess Yiyang and couldn't come back to her senses, Mingshu poked her head and said, "Come back to your senses." β
Mu Qingwan burst out laughing, and couldn't help laughing: "I haven't really seen it, how dare I believe that there is such a person in the world." β
Mingshu propped her chin and said coldly: "You will think the same when you see me in the future." β
Liu Yurun glanced at Mingshu.
Mu Qingwan burst out laughing again.
Mingshu: "......"
Don't believe it.
Not far away, there was a conversation between Princess Xuancheng and Cui Peiran, and Xuancheng said: "Pei Niang, don't you know that the southern pearl in the third sister's flower crown was inlaid with the phoenix crown of the queen mother, and it is worth more than ...... gold."
Another little girl said with envy in her eyes: "The pearl flower on Princess Yiyang's forehead is very beautiful." β
As soon as this remark came out, it caused a burst of conformity.
Mingshu was in a good mood, but something suddenly came to mind in her mind. She turned her head and said to the red knotweed, "Go out with me." β
The comfrey was about to stop it, but the red knotweed had already walked out quickly with Mingshu. Zicao hurriedly followed, and as soon as she went out, she heard Mingshu screaming, "Someone!" β
Hongli subconsciously blocked in front of Mingshu, protected Mingshu, and shouted at the mother-in-law not far away: "Search the garden quickly, there are cats and dogs that have scared my lady!" β
Purple grass hurriedly ran over with her skirt and looked around carefully, but she didn't see anything.
Red Lotus is softly coaxing Mingshu.
Mingshu shuddered, picked up her skirt and ran inside, while saying, "There is a dark shadow in the garden......"
The guards guarding in the dark stared at Mingshu tightly, glanced at each other, Gu clenched the knife in his hand, and one of them slipped out to report.
Mingshu was nervous, ran to the back, and bumped into Yiyang, who was walking out.
"Don't worry." Yiyang subconsciously grabbed Mingshu and didn't want her to disturb the Queen Mother by rampage.
Unexpectedly, Mingshu grabbed Yiyang's wrist with his backhand, lowered his voice and said, "There are assassins hidden in the flowers in the garden." β
Yiyang was stunned for a moment, let go of Mingshu's hand, but was taken by Mingshu into the house again.
