Chapter Seventy-Five: Assist (Monthly Pass 450 Plus Update)
There are two hottest gossip news in the capital, one is that Concubine Xia, who has just been promoted to the throne, was punished by the Empress Dowager, knelt at the gate of Cining Palace for a whole hour, and stopped her from serving the emperor for three months.
The Empress Dowager rarely asks the emperor's concubine, but everyone remembers that the Empress Dowager killed the most favored concubine in front of the emperor more than ten years ago, and the crime was to bewitch the emperor!
I don't know how Concubine Xia offended the Queen Mother, and let the Queen Mother, who rarely spoke out again, punish her.
What made it even more strange to the courtiers and harem concubines was that the emperor, who had always been very gentle to the concubines and courtiers, was silent, not only did not go to visit the favorite concubine Xia, but ordered the Ministry of Rites to suspend the reward for Concubine Xia's mother's family.
The two most honorable people in the empire shot one after the other, making the Xia family, who had infinite scenery, feel the heat and coldness of the world, and feel inexplicable fear, in case Concubine Xia fell out of favor, it would be a big blow to the Xia family.
There were faint rumors in the government and the opposition that some officials impeached the Xia family for being rich and unkind and reselling military rations.
But if the family sends their daughter to the palace, it is always difficult to ask for the influence of the harem.
If the daughter is favored, they will naturally get better, once the daughter falls out of favor, she has the posture of the wall falling down and everyone pushing it.
The head of the Xia family was decisively anxious for all the Xia family children to return to the capital, discuss countermeasures together, and find out the reason for Concubine Xia's fall from grace no matter what, and judge whether the emperor no longer supports and trusts the Xia family.
Compared with the Xia family's helplessness, another piece of news made the Yong'an Hou Mansion a little more festive.
Mu Yun, one of the thirteen Taibao of Jinyiwei, turned out to be the second son of Yong'an Hou.
In the past few days, when Yong'an Hou went out to socialize again, he felt that others were cautious of him, and he was also a little flattering.
After all, no one wants to offend Jinyiwei!
In particular, the nobles who intersected with the Marquis of Yong'an did not have a status in the court, and they could only barely maintain the titles handed down from their ancestors.
They really don't have the courage to offend the Jinyi Guard, who specializes in supervising the emperor's honors and nobles, and they will naturally marry the Marquis of Yong'an.
Even Miss Hou San, who has a very loud reputation, has also received a lot of benefits from Mu Yun.
At least among her peers, she is more and more respected, and finally has the 'strength' to compete with the county lord of Jiamin, Yong'an Hou can't fight Mu Guogong, but Mu Yun and Mu Shizi are on par.
When the ladies gathered, the third lady occasionally mentioned her second brother Muyun, "Actually, we all know that the second brother is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but he won't let me say it." Two days ago, I mentioned to my second brother ......"
The third lady looked at Miss Liu, who was almost kneeling in front of her and pleading, with compassion, and gently supported Miss Liu, and said with relief: "The second brother has always loved me, and when he is not busy, I will talk to him and let you go to the edict to visit Lord Liu." Listening to the second brother occasionally mention it, Lord Liu's crime is not big, and it won't be a big deal. ”
Her words were correct and round, and they were very infectious, as if Mu Yunzhen had told her.
Miss Liu tearfully thanked Miss San, "Please also help me intercede for my father in front of Lord Mu, my father is not in good health, please take care of Lord Mu more, I ...... In the next life, I would like to be a cow and a horse to repay the third lady. ”
Let Miss Liu, a bachelor from Hanlin who has always looked down on Miss Three, breathe so lowly, Miss San's heart is extremely satisfied, this is the glory that Mu Yun brought her.
Later, Mu Yun became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and she was respected by more people.
The lady who is good friends with the third lady is more friendly to her, starting from the praise of clothes and jewelry, even if the third lady has the guidance of her mother, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows still show a little pride, but she also seems to be more coquettish.
Miss Qinggui, who used to look down on Miss Three and raised in the Shangjia family, was a little more cautious, although she was not flattering Miss San, but she also showed a little closeness to her.
The center of this gathering fell on the third lady at once, and almost everyone was friendly with her, and everyone talked with her.
There are also curious ladies who ask her about Mu Yun, after all, Mu Yun is a well-known handsome.
"The second brother loves me the most."
The third lady sometimes emphasized how Mu Yun loved her, and talked about the jewelry and gifts that Mu Yun prepared for her, which caused many young ladies to exclaim again and again.
Just when the third lady was at her most beautiful, a voice came, and a delicate girl walked up to the third lady, "You are the most beloved sister of the Mu people......
The third lady bowed slightly, the girl in front of her was a little angry, and asked dignifiedly, "Are you?" ”
"I just arrived in the capital, and my brother is a subordinate of the Mu people." The girl blinked, her eyes full of adoration, "I heard my brother mention you, Master Mu prepares jewelry and clothes for you every time, and there are many strange furnishings, I am really jealous of you, my brother doesn't understand the mind of girls at all, and always fools me." ”
The third lady swiped her sideburns proudly, it turned out to be Mu Yun's subordinate, so this girl must have come to flatter her.
"But then I heard that after you subdued the master of Jinyiwei with two pieces of snack, I am not jealous of you at all, and Lord Mu loves you, it is really right."
The third lady stiffened her face proudly, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and just wanted to open her mouth to stop the girl from continuing.
But the girl blinked her starry eyes and said, "Mu Wu, I am about the same age as you, you have a name that is much better than mine, a beauty is like a woman, and she is also beautiful, you accept me as an apprentice, okay?" I want to be like you and teach them with a snack. ”
"Mu Wu?!"
The lady sitting next to the third lady said suspiciously: "You mean Mu Wu?" ”
The girl who wanted to apprentice said confidently: "Of course, the only sister that Master Mu acknowledges and loves is Mu Yu, Miss Mu, she is very prestigious in the brocade guard, at least my brother saw her once, and his legs were weak once." ”
A mocking laugh floated in, "I'll just say, I haven't heard Miss San mention Master Mu before, why did she suddenly become Lord Mu's favorite sister?" Originally...... I made a mistake. ”
As this sentence landed, the ladies either covered their mouths and snickered, or looked at the third lady with playfulness in sympathy.
The third lady had the urge to find a crack in the ground to get into, she was ashamed and angry, and forcibly suppressed her anger, "You said that Mu Wu is my fourth sister, I am her sister, and I am the second brother's sister-in-law!" Mu Wu and the second brother did not ......"
"So you're not Mu Wu? You lied to me! Annoyance flashed in the girl's eyes, and she complained like a cannon: "How can you pretend to be Miss Mu to deceive people?" Even if you are Miss Mu's sister, you shouldn't deceive people with her identity, it's as if it's true, who in the brocade guard doesn't know that Master Mu only recognizes Miss Mu? ”
"You're too much, don't you feel sorry for your identity as Miss Mu's wife?"
"Looking at your soft and weak appearance, you don't look like a woman who can teach my brother a lesson with a snack."
