Section 207 Chapter 205 A Tooth for a Tooth (Part II)
In the Feiyu Pavilion, Mu Qingya sat on the stool after grooming, and asked Le Qi to help her pinch her shoulders, while she squinted slightly to rest. After a while, I suddenly felt that the action of pinching my shoulders stopped, and then the force increased slightly.
Mu Qingya opened her eyes and asked, "Why are you here?" Didn't comfort your concubine? Although the voice was cold, it was with an undetectable vinegar.
A low chuckle came, and it turned out that the person behind him had become Duanmu Lingyu: "How did you guess that it was me?" β
Mu Qingya didn't answer, only moved her shoulders to signal him to stop, and then got up and sat on the couch beside her.
Duanmu Lingyu walked next to her, her wet hair was still dripping: "Qingya, are you angry today?" β
Mu Qingya shook her head: "No." "Duanmu Lingyu's performance today can be said to be perfect, Mo Liuchen is afraid that he will not be suspicious of Duanmu Lingyu at all, this is also what they discussed before, how could she be angry.
Duanmu Lingyu nodded: "That's good, although Mo Liuchen is the princess of Canglan, it is easy to kill her, the trouble is the force behind her, the princess of a country is still a concubine, no matter what, she can't easily have an accident, otherwise, this is a good excuse for Canglan to declare war on the 'jade' cold." Still, as long as she still has a breath, then there's no problem. β
Mu Qingya frowned slightly: "Replacing all the palace 'female' eunuchs in her palace today can be regarded as a cleansing of her forces, but then Mama Gui is not simple, she should be 'refined' in medical skills, I'm afraid Gu poison is also good at it, you have to be careful, don't 'force' Mo Liuchen to be anxious, let that slave bite you, and there are no clues about An Zhi's matter, before the investigation is clear, they can't die." β
"Well, with your words, I'll pay attention to everything." Duanmu Lingyu smiled, "By the way, are you planning to join forces with Liu Yingxue and An Luoli?" β
Mu Qingya raised her eyebrows: "What, don't you want to?" Afraid that I will use your two concubines as guns? β
Duanmu Lingyu got up and stood in front of Mu Qingya, and bent down slightly to approach her: "Qingya, are you jealous?" From the very beginning, your tone was very unusual. β
Mu Qingya was stunned for a moment, then froze, thinking of the tone in which she had just spoken, no matter how she listened to it, there was a sour smell, how could it be ......
Sensing the embarrassment in her eyes, Duanmu Lingyu's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and then he got up to avoid her being annoyed and angry: "Qingya, I'm very happy, hehe!" β
Mu Qingya snorted coldly: "I'm afraid you still have a lot of government affairs that haven't been dealt with, so hurry back to the study to deal with it, otherwise I'm afraid there will be officials who will write to advise tomorrow." β
"Okay, I listen to you, by the way, there will be a good show in two days, Zhao Lin, the son of Zhao Yan, the governor of the Terracotta Division, is addicted to gambling into 'sex', and was broken by someone to collect debts and break his 'legs', it is said that the person who beat the person was Princess Canglan, that is, the concubine, Zhao Yan is thinking about looking for me to sue the royal court, Zhao Yan's wife heard that she is a famous 'woman', only this one son, how about it?"
Mu Qingya was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It seems to be a good show, I think that the concubine Niangniang should hold a banquet in two days, and then it is just right for the concubine Niangniang to enjoy this good show." β
Duanmu Lingyu chuckled lightly and disappeared at the 'door'.
Le Qi came in with food: "Miss, let's use something quickly, I haven't drunk a sip of water since morning!" β
Mu Qingya motioned for her to put the meal on the table: "By the way, you go and take care of the Shen Punishment Division, there is a eunuch who spoke disrespectfully to me this morning, you go and release him and send him to the Danting Hall with the next group of people." β
"Miss, why is that?"
Mu Qingya smiled: "If you were Mo Liuchen and saw a familiar one among complete strangers, what would you do?" β
"Hmm...... It should be very curious, and then after asking about it, think about whether this person is available, reuse it if it is available, and get rid of it completely if it is not available! β
"Well, that's my purpose, you let people train him well before sending him back, although the eunuch is reckless, but he is not a brainless, at least he can distinguish the dignity and inferiority over there, train him well, and then send him back, no matter which of these two results, there is no loss to us, only benefits."
"Yes, Miss is really smart, slave maid is this."
Mu Qingya slowly picked up a piece of plum 'flower' cake and pinched it gently, Mo Liuchen must be frantically trying to find out where the poison in the dim sum came from now, I'm afraid she will never have a chance to find out, those things she can understand are not only snacks, but also eating utensils, she just smeared some concentrated water on the top of Mo Liuchen's chopsticks, and when she used chopsticks to add snacks, that point' The medicine was eaten by her, and with the original materials used in the dim sum, it would make people have symptoms of poisoning, and there would be no traces left on the chopsticks, so that Wang Yao couldn't find anything no matter how carefully he checked it.
The next day, Mo Liuchen did not announce Mu Qingya to meet again, thinking that the poison on her body had not been solved, but Liu Yingxue's special 'door' came to meet with her, and the two talked about it true and false, and each other got a satisfactory result, which was considered to stabilize the temporary alliance.
On the third day, it was still quiet and abnormal, Mu Qingya stayed in the Feiyu Pavilion and stayed at home, only concentrating on reading books and posts, but the weather became colder and colder after a night of heavy rain, and now she had to wear thick clothes when she went out.
On the fourth day, news finally came from the Danting Palace, Mo Liuchen held a banquet and invited many ladies and misses. Her identity is a noble concubine, and she has the right to summon the 'woman', so such a banquet is reasonable.
Mu Qingya is dressed in pink and white 'color' clothes, embroidered with 'fine' embroidery on the skirt placket, the peony is like a living one, faintly seems to have a trace of 'flower' fragrance, people can't help but marvel at a glance, the head is holding the weeping cloud double moon bun 'inserted' with a gorgeous cloisonnΓ© silver gilt butterfly 'flower' hairpin, next to the gold silk inlaid ruby double luan dot emerald step sway, walking between the steps swaying slightly, reflecting her white 'jade' general cheeks, particularly moving.
Le Qi's face was full of smiles: "Miss, you should dress up like this every day, otherwise, your good posture and 'color' will be wasted." β
Mu Qingya glanced at her: "As far as you can speak, by the way, you have prepared everything I asked you to prepare?" β
"Yes, Miss don't worry, everything is arranged, there will be no accidents."
"Well, that's fine."
When Mu Qingya arrived, there were already many people arriving, and when they saw Mu Qingya coming in, their expressions were quite strange, and many people had a peaceful smile on their faces, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes. γ
Whether it is usual or a draft, Mu Qingya has suppressed them too much, but no matter how beautiful they look, they have not been robbed of their position, and they have to be summoned every day to visit their rivals, it is not pleasant to think about it, hum.
Mu Qingya didn't mind at all, and stepped forward to meet Mo Liuchen: "The courtier's 'daughter' has seen the concubine Niangniang. β
"Miss Mu doesn't need to be polite."
Mu Qingya got up: "Niangniang's body is very good?" Yesterday, I wanted to come to visit my mother, but I was afraid of disturbing my mother's peace, so I asked my mother to forgive me. β
Mo Liuchen didn't care about gently brushing the carved 'flower' hollow armor, the divine 'color' was gentle and noble, and perfectly played the role of the concubine's horn 'color', but there was indeed a trace of haggard and pale between the divine 'color': "It's good that Miss Mu has this heart, take a seat." β
Mu Qingya sat in her seat, and a young 'girl' with bright eyes and good eyes walked over with a smile: "Mu Qingya? β
"I've seen the county lord." Hearing the voice, Mu Qingya got up and saluted, slightly surprised in her heart, she didn't expect to meet Duanmu Yuelan here, and she looked at Princess Mingli who was low eyebrows behind her, and she had a trace of understanding in her heart.
"Get up, I was just thinking about when you were coming, but I didn't expect you to come, those little people love to talk nonsense, don't take it to heart."
Mu Qingya was slightly stunned, and then understood that the villains in her mouth were those young ladies who were gossiping: "Does the county lord seem to mind when he looks at me?" β
"Hehe, I know that you are different from those boring people." Duanmu Yuelan sat down next to her and placed Princess Mingli on the other side, "I heard that the emperor wanted to crown you as the queen some time ago, why is there no movement now?" β
Mu Qingya smiled secretly, since the first time I saw her, I knew that her 'sex' was extremely simple, but I didn't expect to ask her this question bluntly, but it was indeed much more pleasing than those who talked about it behind her back: "The reason for this is not very clear, but I think it's because Qingya's identity is not enough, speaking of which, the master of the harem must be of noble birth." β
Duanmu Yuelan pursed her lips, but seeing that Mu Qingya had no intention of continuing, she also diverted the topic, after all, this matter is a matter of the emperor's inner palace, and it is not something she can put her beak into.
Not long after, Goode walked over quickly: "The slave has seen the concubine Niangniang. β
"Father-in-law Gu is exempt, but what is the emperor's business?"
"Yes, the slave came to pass on the emperor's message, and the emperor heard that Niangniang was holding a banquet here, so he asked people to arrange the royal 'flower' garden, and let Niangniang hold the banquet in the royal 'flower' garden, in addition, the emperor also said that he also invited a lot of children from the family today."
Gu De's words were not finished, Mo Liuchen's eyes couldn't hide the joy, seeing the envious eyes projected around him, his heart was even more proud, the emperor was showing her respectful status: "Okay, the palace will prepare immediately, Mama Gui, send Gu Gonggong." β
"Yes, concubine."
Mama Gui sent Goode to the 'door' of the Danting Palace, and stuffed a heavy purse into it, and Goode took it and put it in his sleeve: "Thank you, Lady Gui." β
"Chief Gu, I don't know if Imperial Doctor Wang has found out some eyebrows?"
Goode turned his head and looked around, before he said softly: "This old slave is not very clear, but I heard that there are some eyebrows, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the results will be achieved." β
Mama Gui smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Gu." β
"The old slave retired." Gude turned around, a sneer flashed on his face, opened the purse in his sleeve, and a golden 'color' leaked out, and his face 'revealed' an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
The banquet transferred quickly, not long after, everyone sat down in the Tinglan Pavilion of the Royal 'Flower' Garden, although it was nearly late autumn, but the Imperial 'Flower' Garden was still a prosperous scene, all kinds of precious 'flowers' were countless, particularly pleasing to the eye.
"The emperor has arrived!"
"I've seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Before everyone had time to get up, they heard a high cry: "The slave and maid are wronged, please be the emperor!" β
