Chapter 199: Thin as a cicada's wings

The winter sun came out a little late, however, Mu Qingyan opened her eyes early.

"Hiss~~Frozen, frozen......"

Mu Qingyan stretched out her hand and grabbed the quilt in the air for a while, she slowly opened her eyes reluctantly, and saw that there was suddenly more person around her, she was frightened, and immediately opened her eyes wide and did not feel sleepy.

"You, you...... When did you come back?"

Last night, she ate hot pot until late at night, and he hasn't come back yet!

"Why?, can't this king be on the bed?" King's Landing squinted, half-propped up to look at the cold, shivering little figure beside him.

"Husband, what are you talking about! Haha, this is Husband's bed, it's wrong that Husband doesn't appear here. Mu Qingyan said, her eyes rolling as if she was looking for something.

"Are you looking for it?" King's Landing seemed to know what Mu Qingyan wanted to do, and turned slightly sideways to let Mu Qingyan inside see a white fox standing on the ground in a strange position.

Mu Qingyan saw it, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Xiaobai, what's wrong?"

Stupid fox, the Great Demon King will not be reminded when he returns.

Xiaobai also wanted to shout two grievances, but he was given a point by the Junda Demon King, so he could only stand there stiffly.

"This king clicked on its acupuncture points and let it reflect on it well. ”

"Did it do something wrong?"

"Occupying the king's bed and provoking the king, are you wrong to say it's wrong?"

When Uncle Jun said this, his eyes seemed to swallow her alive.

Could it be that he knew that she deliberately called Xiaobai to occupy the bed?

When Mu Qingyan heard this, her face stiffened imperceptibly, and she said, "When did the prince leave Xiaobai out of bed?"

Xiaobai listened, a pair of smart eyes rose with a mist of gratitude, and its owner finally found that he had a conscience to speak for it!

"Zi Shi!"

Isn't this it, not long after she and Xiaobai fell asleep, Uncle Jun came back!

"It's going to be cold in the middle of the night, the prince should wake me up, Xiaobai dares not to give the prince a bed to sleep, I can't spare it first!"

Hearing this, the corners of King's Landing raised slightly, and he said coldly: "This king called, but someone can't be moved, so he can only do it himself." How do you say you should punish it?"

When Mu Qingyan heard this, she smiled and said, "Why don't you roast Xiaobai for the prince to eat, so that the prince can dissipate his anger?"

When Xiaobai heard this, he was instantly dumbfounded, and his eyes were full of anger and shot directly at Mu Qingyan, accusing: Who held it in his arms last night and said that it was warm and comfortable, and it couldn't be without it?

King's Landing glanced at her and said, "Since you said so, let you do it yourself and bake it for breakfast for this king." ”

"I bake?"

"Hmm!"

"I'm afraid that the roast will be burnt, and it will be difficult for the prince to eat, why don't you wait until I am good at cooking before baking?" Mu Qingyan said solemnly.

"Duducicity!" King's Landing glanced at her sideways, feeling the cold little hands and feet deliberately touching her body, and her brow furrowed even more.

Why are your hands and feet so cold for this little thing?

"Your hands and feet are cold, and your medical skills are so good that you won't cure yourself?" said this, King's Landing actually hit Xiaobai with a pearl.

In an instant, Xiaobai can move!

"Squeak Squeak......"

After making a long tearful accusation at Mu Qingyan, Xiao Baitou turned his head and ran out without looking back.

The stinky fox without morality, she just saved it, and it left her alone here to face Uncle Jun alone, woo......

Mu Qingyan smiled flatteringly at the man: "Isn't this self-healing, I also want to improve the symptoms of cold hands and feet in the winter, but the effect is not great." After a pause, he said, "Hehe, husband, your body is so hot that I can help you cool down, how good!"

"Sweet-tongued!" King's Landing glanced at her, but there was not a hint of anger in his voice.

As the words fell, King's Landing rose from his bed.

"Lord Wang, where do you want?"

"Keep going to sleep your ......" was silent.

Mu Qingyan knew that the crisis was over, so she hurriedly rolled the quilt to the place where King's Landing had slept, enjoying the warm residual warmth.

I don't know how long it took, but finally the sun came into the house.

Mu Qingyan fell asleep and woke up, stretched comfortably, there was no one in the room, raised her eyebrows, where did King's Landing go early in the morning?

Thinking about it, I got up and got out of bed, and suddenly, I realized that the room seemed to be much warmer than usual.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan looked back at Luan'er and walked in, and said, "When did the prince leave?"

Luan'er said: "At dawn, when the prince left, he specially asked me and Yan'er to add more silver carbon to the house. ”

"So that's the case, I said why is it so warm today. Mu Qingyan put her hand into Luan'er's open clothes, and then put them on.

It's been so long since she came here, and she has slowly learned how to wear cumbersome clothes, these clothes are beautiful, that is, more than a dozen sets of clothes worn inside and out, and she only feels troublesome in the summer!

However, in winter, I like to wear it myself, because it can dispel the cold.

"Miss, this is what the prince asked me to go to the treasury to find for you. ”

As soon as Mu Qingyan got dressed, Yan'er appeared in the house holding a snow-white robe, her voice full of joy.

"For me?"

"Yes, the prince said that Miss will use this robe when she goes out, which can only block the wind than ordinary robes, which has one more function to keep warm, Miss, it is very comfortable for you to touch the material and plush on it. ”

Yan'er happily hugged the robe in front of Mu Qingyan and said.

Luan'er was also very happy, she knew it in her heart.

The prince feels sorry for Miss, and the reason why Miss has cold hands and feet is completely because of the stubborn illness that she was abused in the Mu family when she was a child.

Mu Qingyan reached out and touched the silver-white robe in front of her, it felt really good as Yan'er said, it should be said that it was better than the robe she had touched.

"Did the prince say where to go?" reached out and picked up the robe, feeling warm, comfortable, and light.

"Nope!"

"Mmmm!

In the past few days, he has been going out early and returning late, and she doesn't know what he is doing, and then, now, she accepts the gift he gave with peace of mind, and she is really ashamed to be a wife!

However, it is not right! As a wife, her husband does not return to bed at night, so what she should do is to ask him where he is! Why is it that she has no consciousness at all, and can still sleep like a pig!

In the morning, she was robbed of the quilt by a man and woke up from freezing, and now she can be bought with a robe! Mu Qingyan pouted, this robe can be regarded as the man's compensation for her!

After breakfast, Mu Qingyan put on a new robe and went out, the door of the bedroom in the main courtyard.

As soon as she walked around the garden, Mu Qingyan, who was eating, heard a maid come to tell her.

"Princess, Princess Moon is here!"

The moon light yarn is coming?!

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan was surprised and said, "Where is it?"

The maid who came to pay her respects replied, "Steward Shao is greeting outside the main hall. ”

Mu Qingyan listened, raised her feet and walked out.

"Qing Yan!"

"Princess Light Yarn!" Mu Qingyan greeted with a smile and said, "It's so cold outside, it's rare that you are willing to go outside the house." ”

Yue Qing Shali Vortex smiled lightly, and said with a smile: "In order to come to the Four Kings' Mansion, I am not afraid of the cold, Qing Yan seems to be very afraid of the cold?"

"Fortunately, it's like hibernation in the winter and I don't want to move. Mu Qingyan smiled and joked.

Yue Qingsha stepped forward and grabbed Mu Qingyan's arm, and said coquettishly: "Qingyan, there is nothing interesting in the Four Princes' Mansion, you can go into the palace with me to play!"

Mu Qingyan glanced at the arm that was being held, and before she could return to whether she wanted to agree to enter the palace, Yue Qingsha grabbed her and walked out.

"I finally came once, the queen mother is happy, the emperor, the queen has allowed the other princes and grandchildren to go back to the palace, so that our young generation can have a good gathering. The people from the Prince's Mansion, the Third Prince's Mansion, and the Second Prince's Mansion have all entered the palace, but I think it's too much to lose color without Qing Yan in the place......"

Speaking of which, I really look up to her too much, she actually has so much power?

Listening to what Yue Qingsha said, it seems that if she doesn't go, the palace will become boring.

What's more important is that the relationship between Qingsha and the fourth prince this month is not ordinary, she still doesn't dare to offend at will, just go, just go to the palace, it's not that she hasn't been there!

Mu Qingyan smiled slightly and said: "Since it is so lively, of course I also want to feel the popularity, maybe it won't be cold when there are many people." Besides, I am also going to enter the palace to greet the Queen Mother and the Queen, and it just so happens that Princess Qingsha is here, so I will go together and be a companion on the way. ”

When Yue Qingsha heard this, her smile became even sweeter, and she said, "Qing Yan, it's so good, so that I won't be bored on the road!"

Delicate, sweet voice, like flowing water, slowly comes out......

In the palace.

The palace is very lively, and the children of the noble clansmen who are rarely seen on weekdays are all in the palace today.

After a series of greetings, Mu Qingyan already felt that her cheeks hurt from laughing, but she still smiled at the corner of her mouth.

"The light yarn is here!" the Queen Mother sat on a high seat and said with a smile.

"Yes, Queen Mother, I'm late, Queen Mother, don't blame me!" Yue Qingsha let go of the hand holding Mu Qingyan's arm, naturally walked to the Queen Mother's side and sat down to hold the Queen Mother's arm, and said coquettishly.

Such an honor, but this is the only one, no one dares to be so presumptuous, and sit down without the Queen Mother saying that they can sit down.

The two talked and laughed as if they had forgotten Mu Qingyan's existence, and after a while, Yue Qingsha reminded the Queen Mother.

"Qing Yan, why are you still standing?" Yue Qingsha looked at Mu Qingyan who was standing below strangely and asked.

Mu Qingyan was not annoyed, leaned over slightly, and said with a smile: "Say hello to the Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother looked at Mu Qingyan and said with a smile: "Seeing that the mourning family only cares about chatting with Qingsha, they have forgotten it, no courtesy, sit aside!"

In fact, the seats for the banquet in this palace are all arranged, even if anyone does not come, the seats are not casual.

Mu Qingyan found the place to sit, sat down, smiled quietly at the corner of her mouth, and a dress made of moon-white brocade made her sit there like a painting, making people unable to take their eyes off.

"Princess Yue is here, the Queen Mother just asked, why haven't you come yet?"

It was Lin Ling, the concubine of the Three Princes' Mansion, who was slowly walking out to the Queen Mother's side.

"I'm not here to pick up Qing Yan, the Four Princes' Mansion is a little far from the palace, so I'm a little late, is it that I've finished watching the show?" Yue Qingsha asked with some hesitation.

Hearing Yue Qingsha's words full of loss, the Queen Mother patted her hand and said with a smile: "Of course not, the theater troupe specially invited for you in the palace can finish the performance without you." ”

"But, I don't want to watch the troupe perform! It's too boring, I've seen all the acrobatics performed by those troupes, it's boring!" Yue Qingsha pouted and said.

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want to see in the light yarn?"

Yue Qingsha thought a little distressed, as if she didn't know what to look at.

"Let's let everyone do a talent competition, there will be prizes for those who win, Queen Mother, do you think this is good?" said Lin Ling on the side.

"Is it okay?" Yue Qingsha listened, raised her eyes, and looked at the Queen Mother.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and said, "Of course you can! Come on, tell everyone else to prepare for the talent show." ”

"Yes!" The eunuch behind him immediately answered, and then went to the ladies of the various noble clans to spread the word.

The queen on the side listened and said softly: "The queen mother really loves Princess Yue so much, and she is envious of the palace." ”

Hearing this, Yue Qingsha said with a smile: "The ruby hairpin used by the queen mother today is very matched, and it is very beautiful." ”

"Yes, this is specially sent by the emperor to this palace, and this palace is usually reluctant to take it. Princess Moon has such a vision!" the queen said with a chuckle.

Xiao Guifei, who was sitting on the side, listened, and a sneer flashed in her eyes, as if she didn't care about what the queen said at all.

The third princess Chu sat indifferently, looking at their harmonious picture.

Mu Qingyan didn't have much ups and downs when she saw it, the corners of her mouth still maintained a decent smile, they said that theirs was just to express how much the queen mother attached importance to the moon light yarn, what the queen wanted was to express that she was still the master of the harem through the moon light yarn, and no one who was favored by the emperor could forget her as the queen.

These are just for other people who have a heart to see, and she, a person who has no intentions, can see it or not.

"Queen Mother, who should be the first to perform this performance?" asked Yue Qingsha with some distress.

Suddenly, the queen mother, who had been ignoring Mu Qingyan, immediately remembered Mu Qingyan and said: "The fourth princess is a role model for all the young ladies, why don't you make a good start?"

Yue Qingsha listened, and stared at Mu Qingyan with a pair of eyes, full of anticipation.

Mu Qingyan listened and quietly did not answer for a long time.

When the others heard this, they all focused their eyes on Mu Qingyan, some gloating, some curious, and more wanted to see whether she agreed or refused.

"Then I'll be ugly!" Mu Qingyan said: "Please prepare pen and ink ......"

"The calligraphy of the four princesses has been read by everyone here, and it is very fascinating!" Lin Ling said with a chuckle beside the Queen Mother.

When Mu Qingyan heard this, her eyebrows were uncontrollably raised, and she looked at Lin Ling, who was smiling.

"Look at what you said, as if the four princesses will only do this, as the fourth princess, she is naturally good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The crown princess bowed to the queen, sat down and said softly.

In this way, it is not appropriate for her to perform these things, the performance is amazing, and she takes it for granted, and if the performance is not good, it will not be worthy of the name!

"Qing Yan, don't you want to perform? I called you so many times, but you didn't respond!" Yue Qingsha asked softly.

When Mu Qingyan heard this, she smiled embarrassedly and said, "I was thinking about what would make your eyes shine." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, and they thought that Mu Qingyan would refuse!

After all, the four princes protected Mu Qingyan in their eyes, Mu Qingyan said that no one dared to do anything if she didn't want to perform, and the Queen Mother was just sulking afterwards!

The third princess Chu You listened, picked up a cup of tea, lowered her head and took a sip gently, looking at the water in the cup, a shallow smile rose at the corner of her mouth.

Mu Qingyan's words sound interesting!

"In that case, then you can start it! Everyone is looking forward to it!" said the Queen Mother.

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan smiled, and knew that it was impossible to go back easily when she came to the palace, but she just wanted to be sure of certain things!

What piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine, it's at all, she doesn't know when she offended the crown princess, but it's also good to realize the complexity of these interpersonal relationships.

One second it's a friend, the next second it's an enemy, maybe it's not enough!

It seems that it can't be hidden!

Most of these people sitting here know that she used to be an unfavored concubine, and she has been forgotten in Muhanshan's mansion for many years, and she is worse than a maid, where has she invited a gentleman orthodox.

All she wants is to make her ugly, so as to set off their nobility, which means that her sitting in the position of the fourth princess is just shit luck!

"Then I'll be ugly!" Mu Qingyan smiled indifferently.

The Queen Mother looked at it with interest, nodded, and then said: "Light yarn, you have to look good, it's rare for the fourth princess to perform in person, on weekdays, King's Landing can hide her tightly!"

Mu Qingyan walked to the center, looking at the things placed on it, it was really good, so she had no interest in using it.

But everyone watched her every move with burning eyes, watching her choose nothing, and couldn't help but have doubts in their eyes.

At this time, Mu Qingyan looked up at the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, are there live ducks in the palace?"

A live duck?

What does she want this beast to do?

Such a thought flashed through everyone's heads, full of doubts, and the eyes staring at Mu Qingyan were even more confused!

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was also stunned, turned her head to look at Mama Rong on the side and asked, "Are there any live ducks in the palace?"

Mama Rong replied respectfully: "There should be one over there in the imperial dining room, and the old slave will go and let someone get it." ”

"Okay, let's go!" the Queen Mother nodded.

Mu Qingyan said again: "Just take one is enough, in addition, I also need a whip, prepare boiling water, an oven, and an assistant." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes moved slightly, and she said, "Okay! Mama Rong, you go and get ready!"

When Mama Rong heard this, she bowed down and said hello, and then explained to the eunuchs beside her.

Yue Qingsha was very curious and asked, "Qing Yan, what do you want to do with the living duck?"

"Sell it first, and everyone will know later!"

Hearing this, Yue Qingsha looked forward to it even more, her eyes flickered, and she said, "What a mysterious look!"

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan smiled lightly and sat there without saying much.

After a while, the eunuch ordered by Mama Rong had already brought everything Mu Qingyan needed.

"Princess, everything is ready!" the eunuch put down his things and waited respectfully.

"Okay, you tie the duck's beak all over the body. ”

"Yes!"

After the eunuch has it done.

Mu Qingyan picked up the whip and swung it, the movement was extremely fast, each whip hit the living duck fiercely, the duck still lay there quietly as if it was not painful, and Mu Qingyan's movements were getting faster and faster so that others could not see whether her whip had fallen on the duck again.

At this moment, everyone was not curious about what Mu Qingyan was doing, but scared, cold sweat broke out, watching Mu Qingyan wield the whip like a hand growing out of her body, it was really a bit scary to hit wherever she wanted.

"You removed the duck's feathers!" Mu Qingyan threw the whip aside in her hand and said.

The eunuch listened, and hurriedly stepped forward to fetch the duck, put it in the boiling water prepared in advance, and quickly removed the duck's feathers.

Mu Qingyan said again: "Put the duck on the oven and roast!"

"Yes, the minion is going!" the eunuch hurriedly did.

At this time, Mu Qingyan said lightly: "Keep flipping the duck ......"

Yue Qingsha looked at Mu Qingyan, thoughtful, she didn't expect Mu Qingyan to do such a thing that didn't follow the rules.

After a while, the duck was roasted.

The surface is golden brown and looks delicious.

"Qing Yan, do you want to make roast duck for the Queen Mother to eat?" Yue Qingsha asked very curiously.

This time, Mu Qingyan smiled slightly and responded generously: "Yes, Princess Qingsha is really smart!"

During the conversation, Mu Qingyan had already walked to the table where the roast duck was placed, and I don't know when, she had an extra silver sharp knife in her hand and began to gesture on the duck lying on the table.

The knife was held by Mu Qingyan and turned smartly, every movement was extremely elegant, and every stroke was like depicting a beautiful scene.

Mu Qingyan stopped moving, and everyone came back to their senses from the shock, and their eyes returned to the unchanged duck on the table again.

"That's fine?" the Queen Mother asked with a frown, looking at the duck that was indistinguishable from just now.

Mu Qingyan, is this playing tricks on everyone?

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan looked at the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "The most powerful one is naturally to ask the Queen Mother to show it, I don't know if the Queen Mother is willing?"

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother pondered for a while and said, "The mourning family also wants to see it, what you say is amazing!"

As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked down, and Mama Rong on the side held the queen mother's hand tightly, knowing that she had walked to the stage.

"What do you want to mourn your family?"

Mu Qingyan smiled slightly and said, "Please Queen Mother, pull the duck's head." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her brows frowned slightly, but she still reached out and took the oil paper handed by the eunuch and wrapped the duck's head and pulled it gently......

Just like that, the intact duck is separated from the flesh and bones in an instant, and the duck meat is neatly arranged in the plate, and the pattern on the plate can be seen, and the duck meat is as thin as a cicada's wings......

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, looking at the skeleton of the white duck in the hands of the Queen Mother......

The corners of Mu Qingyan's mouth raised slightly, and she said softly: "Such ingenuity, I hope you like it, and I also give it to Princess Qingsha to show my heart!"
