Chapter 49: The Reward

On the day of entering the palace, the weather was not very good.

It was dawning and it began to rain outside.

When Cen Muning got up, the ground had already been wet, and the leaves on the trees had also been washed and shiny, revealing a fragrant green.

"Princess, are you up?" Qingli carried the washing utensils and led a few maidservants to wait outside.

"Come in." Cen Mu Ning stood by the window, looking at the scenery in the rain outside, and was a little distracted.

"Standing at the window in the morning, the princess is not careful about her body." Qingli hurried in and took a cloak and put it on her. "Even though it was raining, I still had to go to the palace for a banquet. The loss is that the banquet is at noon, and there is no need to be confined in the palace all day. ”

"The emperor set up a banquet to redeem the mother-son relationship with the Queen Mother. Nature is meant to be perfect. Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly, thinking of Zhuang Zhou's face, the hatred in her heart slowly spread. It is necessary to deal with every detail properly. Although it is a feast at noon, it is bound to live like a year. ”

"Don't worry, princess. This time, the emperor allowed the maids in the palace to enter the palace to accompany them. Slaves and Yin Li will protect you. Qingli twisted a hot towel to evenly her face.

Cen Mooning took it and applied it to her face before asking, "How is Bingling's injury?" ”

"Don't worry, the princess, the slave maid specially found two diligent girls to serve beside her. I used the medicine that worked. Bingling's body has also been recuperating well in the past few years, and the foundation is good, and it will recover soon. ”

"That's good." Cen Mooning breathed a sigh of relief.

After grooming, the maidservant presented her luxurious dress. It's a little more extravagant than the one I wore when I entered the palace before.

The skirt is inlaid with pearls and precious stones. It's a shame that it's raining today, otherwise the sun will be dazzling. "It's too flashy, it's not for me, let's change it."

"It's fine." Qingli waved his hand, and the second servant came over with another set.

As soon as Cen Muning changed her clothes, the people outside shouted: "Say hello to the master." ”

Zhuang Chenchen shook his body and walked in with heavy eyes.

"Greetings to Your Highness." Before Cen Muning could change his clothes, he came in a hurry. The banquet in the palace is noon again, what must have happened?

"It's not good." Zhuang Chenchen waved his hand. And the maidservant, who had her garment, withdrew.

Another person held a black auspicious suit, embroidered with dark purple and light purple peonies. The stamens of the peony are decorated with lilac pearls of different sizes. Although it is not so eye-catching, it is ingenious.

Qing Li looked at the clothes, and his face became a little strange.

Let's say I'm happy, it seems that my heart is falling by something, mixed with a lot of uneasiness.

"Yes." Cen Mu Ning thought to herself, it's just a piece of clothing. He was happy, so he didn't say much.

The matching ornaments were also picked out, and Qingli decorated her body for her, and then she smiled and said: "The princess's skin is better than snow, and the light pink rouge is lined with excellent complexion." With such a gorgeous dress, it is enough to crown the crowd. When she enters the palace today, she must be angry Princess Ziyang rolling her eyes. ”

Zhuang Chenchen glanced at her coldly.

Qingli stuck out his tongue and led the servants to retreat.

"Have you figured out how to clean up the situation?" Zhuang Chen's face was gloomy, and he didn't seem to be attracted by her beauty.

Cen Mu nodded slightly: "Show weakness." ”

"What kind of woman do you think the emperor hasn't seen?" Zhuang Chenchen turned his face away in displeasure: "If you shed a few tears, he will believe that the events of the day have nothing to do with you?" set fire to the Shaogong, the Queen Mother was in crisis, and almost broke off the relationship between the Queen Mother and his mother and son. Let one of them be enough to destroy your nine clans. ”

"It turns out that His Royal Highness is worried that the concubine will enter the palace standing and come out sideways." Cen Mooning lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "Since my mother left." There are no nine clans in the concubine body. Even if it is death, it is a matter of the concubine alone. It will definitely not affect His Royal Highness and the entire palace. ”

"Hmph." Zhuang Chenchen glanced at her with contempt. "You said that if you don't get involved, you won't be involved? Are you the roundworm in Zhuang Zhou's stomach? ”

Cen Mu frowned: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry. On that day, I knew that no matter what happened to me in the palace, the first person to enter the Fengluan Hall must be you. So the drugged in the menorah was left by me on purpose. Other than that, there is no trace. The emperor will never find out. Without evidence, how can the crime be punished? Even if you doubt, you can only doubt it. ”

"When you come back alive, it's never too late." Zhuang Chenchen looked at her with long eyebrows and sideburns, and her eyes were clear, and she couldn't help but think of that face. It is said that the two people look alike at all. But why did he think of Cen Muning as Zixuan?

"Yes." Cen Mooning saluted obediently, as long as he could keep Bingling safe and sound, she was willing to be a pawn in his hand.

An hour before lunch, Cen Muning followed Zhuang Chenchen into the palace.

By this time, the rain had stopped. In the huge imperial garden, you can see the newly arranged bonsai flowers of the palace people everywhere. and the falling petals that have not yet had time to dry all over the ground.

Princess Kechun's illness seems to be much better. As soon as she saw Cen Muning, she greeted her. "The clothes of the ninth brother and sister today are a perfect match for the old nine. Needless to say, the purple qi comes to the east, and it also makes your complexion extremely white, and the whole person looks crystal clear. ”

"Thank you, princess, for the compliment." Cen Muning was about to salute, but was stopped by her. warmly greeted the Queen Mother and Concubine Zhen.

Bowing at the same time as Zhuang Chenchen, the Queen Mother's eyes fell on Cen Muning's gentle face. "I haven't seen her for a few days, and Princess Ruiming's complexion is much better. If you want to have the care of Lao Jiu, your life will be extremely nourishing. ”

"Thank you for your care. His Royal Highness treats his concubine very well. Cen Mooning spoke against her will, feeling ashamed of herself.

"We have learned to be considerate." Concubine Zhen smiled and said in a soft tone: "I just hope that Mu Ning will add a concubine to Ruiming Palace." ”

With a shy smile, Cen Mooning lowered her head.

"Don't worry, concubine." Princess Ke Chun led her to sit beside her: "The ninth brother and sister are blessed at first glance. What's more, it's just a sister-in-law, who has held the two of them for three years, but I'm afraid that the concubine will be dazzled by it then. ”

Holding Cen Muning's hand slightly, as if he was relieved.

Cen Mu smiled and sat down lightly beside her.

Princess Ziyang was a little surprised: "What's wrong with the imperial sister today?" It seems that he is very enthusiastic about the princess! ”

Princess Ke Chun smiled slightly: "The princess is well-behaved and understanding, and she is naturally loved by everyone." If you don't believe me, ask the queen mother. ”

The Queen Mother smiled embarrassedly, but also beckoned to Cen Muning: "Princess, come here." ”

"Yes." Cen Muning hurriedly got up, walked to the Queen Mother and knelt down.

The Queen Mother glanced at the servant beside her. Busy with a brocade box handed over. "This hairpin was given by the emperor who gave birth to the prince of the mourning family, that is, the emperor. Pomegranates originally meant many children and blessings, and now it is just right for you. ”

"How does this work?" Concubine Zhen was too busy to speak: "How can such a really expensive ornament be given to Mu Ning easily." This is the emperor's love for the Queen Mother. ”

"Mu Ning, this girl, is smart and understanding. The mourning family also likes it. Besides, the mourning family also watched Lao Jiu grow up little by little. Why don't you hope that he can blossom and bear fruit as soon as possible and continue to be an heir. While speaking, the Queen Mother pinned the hairpin to Cen Muning's bun with her own hands. The hairpin was a little cold, and it was slightly hard when it passed through the scalp.

Cen Muning didn't have any different colors throughout the whole process, and only had a gentle smile on her face. "Thank you Queen Mother for the reward."

"Let the mourning family take a good look." The Queen Mother bent down, leaned to her sideburns, and said in a slight tone: "The good things you have done, the mourning family sees it." If you want to live, it's best to give the mourning family some peace. ”

"The queen mother is so strange about her concubine body, and the concubine body must be remembered in her heart and live up to the queen mother's good intentions." Cen Mu condensed his eyebrows with affection, and it was as soft as water.

But these words, the Queen Mother sounded, but there was a creepy feeling. I always feel that this girl is going to take revenge.

The more she thought about it, the stronger the hatred in her heart. I can't wait to get rid of her right away.

This is also what Cen Muning hopes for the most. Mother's matter, the clue has been broken. At this time, whoever does more will be more likely to expose her sincerity. It also outlines the past.

"Alright, get up." The queen mother asked her servant to help her.

Concubine Zhen on the side smiled from ear to ear: "Don't say, the Queen Mother's hairpin is gorgeous, this girl is not on the sideburns, it adds a bit of beauty." ”

"Isn't it, it's a good fit for her." Concubine Zhen smiled earnestly: "It's just Mu Ning, don't let down the Queen Mother's good intentions." The stomach must be angry. ”

"Yes." Cen Muning thought to herself, if you can get pregnant by wearing a golden hairpin, it will be too scary!

When he got up and turned back to his position, he saw Zhuang Chen's face cold and silent, and his eyes were not warm at all. Cen Muning knew that he couldn't let go of the person in his heart.

"The emperor has arrivedβ€”"

The voice of the inner eunuch disturbed the interest of several people in speaking.

The Queen Mother's face was obviously displeased: "It's all this time, and the mourning family is also hungry." Princess, let's go back to the palace for lunch. ”

Concubine Zhen hurriedly got up and supported the Queen Mother. "The emperor ordered someone to set up a banquet in the imperial garden early in the morning, and then he ordered someone to invite the couple into the palace. The Queen Mother was hungry at the right time, so she immediately ordered someone to pass the meal, so she didn't have to go back to the palace. ”

The emperor listened to Concubine Zhen's words, and respectfully stepped forward to salute: "Queen Mother, my son has prepared your favorite hundred flowers banquet, why don't you use some here?" The left and right nine brothers entered the palace, and there were many people and it was more lively. ”

As soon as the emperor gave an order, a mermaid immediately entered the palace and quickly presented all kinds of delicacies.

The queen mother's face was uncertain, she glanced at the dishes, and said: "The mourning family is not hungry at this time, the emperor is happy, so he will enjoy it slowly." ”

Princess Ziyang got up and blocked the way of the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, it is rare for the royal brother to give a thought, not to mention the extra care of the flowers, there are many dishes that are personally guided by the daughter, the queen mother, you can also taste it." ”

"Another day." The Queen Mother insisted: "The mourning family is not interested today. ”

Zhuang Zhou's face sank point by point.

Falling into Cen Muning's eyes, she suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity.
