Chapter 30: Cining Palace
The sparkling surface of the lake is slowly blown by the breeze, rippling in bursts of ripples.
In the water pavilion in the lake, a girl dressed in a white smoke skirt gracefully plucked the strings in her hand, and the tactful and melodious tune made the maids and servants in the house stop and admire, immersed in the beautiful music.
"Miss Mo"
A palace maid spoke, and it seemed a little abrupt in the music.
The music stopped abruptly, and the people who were intoxicated were a little displeased, and one by one they bowed their heads and cursed and gradually dispersed, and continued to do their own things.
"You are?"
Mo Li said suspiciously, the person who came was a little unfamiliar, although it was the maid's outfit, but it was more exquisite than the maid's dress in the house.
"You're Miss Mo Limo?"
The palace maid was a little surprised, she couldn't see clearly just now, but when she got closer, she found that this woman looked ordinary, without a trace of excellence, and she was extremely surprised, could it be that she was just Mo Li's maid or maid?
"I'm just Mo Li," Mo said.
The day before yesterday, Mu Xuan told her that if you want to get married, you must have a name, so let's call Mo Li, stay by his side for the rest of your life, don't leave him, Mo Li was also a little moved by this.
"I wonder what you're looking for me?"
"You're just Mo Li!"
When the palace maid heard Mo Li's affirmative answer, her surprise was even worse, and she was a little incredulous.
Mo Li didn't answer this time, looking at the palace maid's surprised appearance, she was a little confused, is there anything wrong with her calling Mo Li?
After the palace maid slowed down for a long time, she reluctantly accepted this fact, it turned out that the Third Highness liked this kind of look...... That...... Do you have a chance?
Thinking of this, he looked at Mo Li again and suddenly became happy in his heart, the third highness is the emperor's favorite and favorite prince, if he becomes the concubine of the third highness, then ......
Later, the palace maid did dress up beautifully to seduce Mu Xuan according to her wishes, but the ending was very different from what she thought, and she was almost thrown into the barracks by Mu Xuan later, of course, this is a later story.
Looking at the palace maid who was surprised for a while and smirked for a while, Mo Li finally couldn't hold it back, and took the initiative to speak: "You came to me, but there is something, if not, then I will ......."
"Yes, yes, yes" patronized the nymphomaniac, almost forgetting the business, the palace maid coughed lightly and said:
"The Queen Mother has a decree to let you follow me into the palace to face the saint."
The tone was a little colder than before, and the eyes that looked at Mo Li became a little contemptuous.
"The Queen Mother? What is she looking for me? Mo Li muttered, "Could it be because Mu Xuan really went to the emperor to marry?" ”
Mu Xuan didn't tell Mo Li about the failure of finding the emperor's marriage, she was afraid that she would think too much, and she would accidentally sneak away again, so ......
"Don't ink, come with me quickly, the Queen Mother is still waiting for you." The palace maid looked at Mo Li's hesitant appearance and said a little impatiently.
"Okay"
No matter what, the will of the Queen Mother cannot be disobeyed, as for the so-called go, you will know,
"You wait here for a moment, I'll change my clothes." Mo Li got up and walked slowly into the room.
"Then hurry up, don't delay for too long, if the Queen Mother blames her, you and I can't afford it." The palace maid urged unhappily.
Mo Li took out his clothes and put them on the bed, thought about it slightly, and chose a more stable and solemn one.
"I hope to make a good impression on the Queen Mother."
Thinking that he was about to see Mu Xuan's family, Mo Li muttered to himself in a worried mood.
Soon, Mo Li, who had changed his clothes, slowly walked out of the door, and the palace maid glanced at it contemptuously, and then left with Mo Li.
"Sister"
Xia Wanqing went to the kitchen to get some snacks and was about to let Mo Li taste them, but when she saw that Mo Li was about to leave the house, she didn't open her mouth and shouted.
Since Mo Li was brought to the house by Mu Xuan, Mrs. Pang and Xia Wanqing were naturally picked up by him, originally Mu Xuan wanted to place them in the side courtyard, but Mo Li took them to the Water Pavilion, and he also rejected Mu Xuan's request to let her live in the main courtyard in Mu Xuan's resentful eyes.
Knowing that she likes the scenery and tranquility of the Water Pavilion, Mu Xuan didn't force it, anyway, it won't be long before she will marry him, and then she will live with herself, it's a big deal, it's okay to move to the Water Pavilion to live with her, so she will depend on her.
"Sister," Mo Li stopped and turned to reply.
"Sister, where are you going?"
Xia Wanqing looked up and down at the palace maid in front of her and wondered, looking at this person's dress, she seemed to be from the palace.
"I'm about to enter the palace, and the Queen Mother seems to have something to do with me."
Mo Li replied, casually taking a piece of snack from the basket Xia Wanqing was holding and putting it in his mouth.
The corners of Xia Wanqing's mouth twitched slightly, when is it, her sister is still thinking about eating, then the queen mother is not an ordinary person, a person who can achieve this position in the harem, if there is no malice, it is fine, in case...... I'm afraid my sister doesn't even know how she died.
Then he said: "My sister also wants to play with my sister in the palace." ”
"No! The Queen Mother's will is to see Miss Mo alone, do you think the Queen Mother can be seen by anyone? Before Mo Li could speak, the palace maid had already spoken.
Mo Li had no choice but to comfort helplessly: "You wait for me at home, I'll be back in a while, don't forget to prepare more snacks for me, I'm going to have a big meal when I come back." ”
I have to say that since Mo Li ate the dim sum made by Xia Wanqing, the texture and taste ...... once made Mo Li unable to let go.
"That ......"
Xia Wanqing wanted to say something more, so Mo Li walked out of the house under the urging of the palace maid.
Looking at Mo Li's distant figure, I don't know why Xia Wanqing was always a little uneasy in her heart, as if something was going to happen, but His Royal Highness went out to the barracks with his subordinates early this morning, and he couldn't help much.
Xia Wan paced back and forth anxiously, how could an innocent and kind person like her sister deal with those scheming old monsters in the palace who were extremely deep in the city.
Suddenly, an elegant and handsome figure flashed in Xia Wanqing's mind, Xia Wanqing patted her head, how could she forget him, and hurriedly walked out.
……
"The Emperor and the Queen Mother, Miss Mo has been brought." The palace maid replied to the person above the high position.
"Well, well done, go down."
The Queen Mother waved her hand lightly, and her eyes sharply examined the strangeness of the audience.
Being stared straight at by so many people's scrutiny, Mo Li felt his heart jumping, and he was nervous and didn't know what to say.
"Bold, when I saw the emperor and the queen mother, I didn't bow and knelt." The maid next to him scolded.
Mo Li, who was already nervous, was scolded and frightened by the maid, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "See the emperor and the queen mother." ”
"Yes"
The Queen Mother replied softly, but she didn't open her mouth to let Mo Li get up.
Looking at Mo Li, who was trembling all over the audience and had a flat posture, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth and he said:
"It seems that Xuan'er's vision needs to be improved, so many beautiful women with national beauty in front of him, but he chose such a maid with a mediocre appearance and has never seen the world."
"yes"
Mu Zhengyun also agreed with the Queen Mother's words, thinking that Xuan'er would not hesitate to make the Imperial City chicken fly dog jump for a woman, and even the woman who contradicted him must be a woman who looked like a fairy, but looking at Mo Li in front of him, Mu Zhengyun couldn't believe it.
"I don't know who Miss Mo's father is?"
The Queen Mother thought in her heart, could it be that this woman's family background and status are extraordinary, so Mu Xuan is interested in her.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the Minnu suffered a serious head injury a few years ago and lost her memory, so ...... I don't know where I came from. Mo Li said in a weak tone.
"Oh, ridiculous, hurt amnesia, you treat me as a three-year-old? Could it be that your parents did something shady and you are unspeakable, so you made up such a set of lies to deceive the mourning family? Tell me quickly, what method did you use to make the third prince die for you and threaten not to marry you, so quickly recruit from the truth. ”
After speaking, the Queen Mother slapped the table vigorously, and the heavy voice echoed in the huge palace.
"The Queen Mother is angry," the maid beside her hurriedly knelt down and persuaded her.
Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Mo Li's slightly trembling body quieted down for a moment, and his eyes, which were still full of brilliance just now, instantly dimmed a lot.
It seems that he and Mu Xuan have no fate, Mo Xuan thought in his heart, and instantly a sense of loss and sadness filled his heart, but the Queen Mother's mean words made her unbearable no matter what.
In a moment, without the orders of the emperor and the queen mother, Mo Li slowly stood up, although he was a thin figure, he stood firmly in the hall at this moment, his eyes changed from the usual gentle like water, cute and delicate normal, but with a somewhat sharp light, he stared at the queen mother sitting in a high position and did not evade it:
"You can insult me, scold me, and despise me, but you can't speak ill of my parents, although I don't know who my parents are, but they are blessed with birth to me, and I don't allow anyone to insult them."
Mo Li's tone was very solemn, and when he said the word "insult", he deliberately accentuated his tone.
"Bold, did I get you up? Do you know who you're talking to, and you can't even take the mourning family in your eyes when you talk so wildly. The Queen Mother said angrily,
"Come on, bring this Diao Min who doesn't understand the rules to the steward's house, and let them teach her how to talk to the mourning family."
"Yes," the two maids replied, and then appeared on either side of Mo Li.
"Don't touch me, I'll go with you."
Mo Li glanced at the Queen Mother deeply, then turned around without hesitation, his movements were indescribably chic, and he walked out of the hall with a calm face.
"How can this be reasonable, I see how long you can be arrogant." The Queen Mother's hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't catch the airway.
"Don't be angry with a straw man who doesn't know etiquette, come and drink some water to dissipate her anger." Mu Zhengyun said soothingly.
"Hmph, such a woman who doesn't know etiquette can become the princess of my Mu country, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth, and if there is a mourning family, they will definitely not agree to this marriage."
The Queen Mother took the teacup and took a sip, then slammed the teacup to the ground.
