Verse 46 Chapter 46 Favoritism
Princess Mingzhu, who was just about to get angry, shrank her pupils, and with a gorgeous smile on her face, she led everyone to the front to salute!
Duanmuqing did not wear a dragon robe, but wore a casual dress, his 'straight' figure with unsurpassed majesty, and his stern gaze eased a little when he swept over Princess Mingzhu: "Get up!" ”
"Thank you for your grace!"
Princess Mingzhu took two steps forward and grabbed Duanmuqing's arm, raised her head and asked with a bright smile: "Father, how come you have time to come and see the 'daughter' today, the 'daughter' hasn't seen you for a long time!" ”
Duanmuqing smiled: "Father heard that you are holding a hundred 'flowers' banquet here, so I came to take a look!" What's wrong just now, I heard a noise before I even came in? ”
Mingzhu pursed her mouth: "Father, you have to be the master of the 'daughter'......"
"Oh? What's the matter? Who would dare to mess with my Pearl Princess? ”
"Hmph, it's not that Mu Qingya! Father, she doesn't take the 'daughter' in her eyes at all! ”
Duanmuqing's eyes turned and moved to Mu Qingya: "Mu Qingya? ”
"Emperor Qiqi is the courtier's 'daughter'!"
"You did a very beautiful job of attracting butterflies that day!"
Mu Qingya raised her head slightly, the expression on her face was very surprised: "Emperor Xie praised him, but I didn't expect the emperor to remember the courtier's 'daughter'!" ”
"Hehe, you made such an amazing movement that day, I can't remember you or not!"
"Father!" Princess Mingzhu shouted dissatisfiedly! She asked her father to punish Mu Qingya, not to chat with her!
Duanmu Qing patted the back of her hand: "Mu Qingya, how did you provoke Mingzhu?" ”
Mu Qingya hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to let Qingya perform the embroidery skills of attracting butterflies here, but Qingya has been thinking about the emperor's words since the last time she performed in Concubine Wan's mother, and always reminded herself that she didn't dare to be proud, only practiced more every day, thinking that after the performance was perfect, she embroidered a perfect embroidery and sent it to the emperor, because the emperor also agreed, Qingya did not dare to have the slightest slack and arrogance before the embroidery skills were perfect, so she rejected the proposal of Her Royal Highness the princess, minister. The woman knows that she is sorry for the princess, and asks the emperor to punish her! ”
Duanmuqing looked at it and nodded: "So that's the case, Mingzhu, since Mu Qingya doesn't want to perform, why do you have to rob people, what's so angry about this?" Don't be angry, don't be angry! ”
"Father, if that's all it takes, how can Mingzhu be so angry! This Mu Qingya is clearly bullying the king, and she doesn't dare to be arrogant, I think she clearly didn't put this princess in her eyes, and do you know what she was doing just now? dared to question Qin Jin, that was her sister, and she was the 'daughter' of the Qin Mansion, she was completely guilty of the following! Father, you must be the master of Qin Jin! ”
"Huh? Is there such a thing? Mu Qingya, what's going on? ”
Qin Jin's heart moved, and he hurriedly spoke: "Emperor Qiqi, it's like this, originally Princess Mingzhu wanted to see the grand occasion of embroidered peony attracting butterflies, but Sister Qingya, she was not only unwilling to listen, but also took out the Qin family as an excuse to shirk, and the courtier's 'daughter' was really angry, so she didn't choose to say anything for a while, so that Sister Qingya misunderstood......"
She is indeed unscrupulous, but the content of her words cannot be known to the emperor no matter what!
Duanmu Qing glanced at Qin Jin, didn't say anything, and asked Mu Qingya, "But that's the case?" ”
Mu Qingya kowtowed: "Sister Jin is right!" Please punish the emperor! ”
Duanmuqing frowned, looking at the young 'girl' lying on the ground, the first time he saw her at Concubine Wan's banquet, he felt that this 'girl' child was different from the young lady of the next family, that unique style is not something that ordinary people can raise, so he also took a special 'door' to read the report sent by the secret guard, and after learning about her experience, he had some thoughts in his heart, the reason why she changed like this was because of the persecution of Sister Shu, but where would there be such a change in a frame-up? I was interested in her in my heart, thinking that if this young 'girl' could always be like this, it would be okay to point her a 'door' in the future, but today, it seems that the arrogance in her 'sexual' personality has still not been removed! The Qin family's attitude towards the Mu family, he knows a thing or two, and it is understandable that she has anger in her heart, but it is tantamount to an idiot's dream if she wants to shake the Qin family with her own strength! What's more, if she still publicly stated this intention at such a banquet, then her position in the Qin family would only become more and more embarrassing in the future!
Looking at the young 'girl' kneeling on the ground, there was still a faint smile between her eyebrows and eyes, and her red 'lips' were a little white, with a hint of upward arc, but he saw an unspeakable stubbornness in it, I don't know why, seeing such Mu Qingya, he felt a little unbearable in his heart: "Mu Qingya, since you know your mistake, then I naturally can't help but punish you, since you said that you want to embroider a perfect embroidery and give it to me, then punish you to embroider it as soon as possible!" My birthday is approaching! ”
Mu Qingya looked up in surprise and joy, a pair of calm eyes with a hint of happy light, like a 'flower' falling on the surface of the lake, ripples, no 'wave' movement with supreme beauty!
"Yes, Qingya will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations!"
Mingzhu was stunned, she never thought that her father would "punish" in this way, is this a punishment? This is clearly a reward in disguise! Where is the 'daughter' of a fourth-grade official qualified to give a gift on the emperor's birthday? And now, the emperor not only allowed her to give gifts, but also asked for it in person, just by virtue of this special glory, Mu Qingya can swagger to receive the envy of the young ladies of all families, what a great honor! The father gave a girl just like this, and she was still a girl who was against herself! clenched his fists tightly, Mingzhu's face was very ugly!
Qin Jin lowered his head, the corners of his mouth raised, the glory given by the emperor himself, this is a big honor, it's just that for this honor, she offended countless young ladies from the family, and more importantly, there is the most difficult 'jade' Han Mingzhu, hehe, she has to take a good look, how does Mu Qingya deal with it! I hope you don't lose too quickly and too badly!
Duanmuqing sat for a while, and then went to the front hall because a minister asked to see him. Princess Mingzhu glanced at Mu Qingya with faint eyes: "Mu Qingya, my father's birthday can wait for your perfect embroidery, you have to prepare well, if something goes wrong, it will not be a shameful problem, that is a real crime of bullying the king!" ”
Mu Qingya: "Yes, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess!" Advise, Qingya will definitely not live up to the princess's high expectations! ”
"Humph!" glanced at Mu Qingya coldly, and Mingzhu directly led the people out of the palace! Because of Duanmu Qing's words before, Mingzhu couldn't open his mouth to punish Mu Qingya anymore, and the fire that couldn't be dispersed accumulated in the 'chest' was uncomfortable, and he just felt that it was not pleasing to the eye!
"Brother ...... Emperor"
Duanmu Lingyun nodded: "Mingzhu, aren't you holding a hundred 'flowers' banquet, it's over so soon?" ”
"What a hundred 'flowers' feast, that's just to make me angry! That hateful Mu Qingya, this palace will definitely make her look good! ”
"Mu Qingya?" The eldest prince thought for a moment, "This name is familiar, it seems that I have heard of it somewhere......"
"Brother Huang has heard of it? She was in Jiangnan before, and some time ago she was led to Kyoto by her 'daughter' mother in order to congratulate Mrs. Qin on her birthday, but I didn't expect this girl to dare to openly oppose me! ”
"Jiangnan, Mu Qingya...... You're talking about Mu Yizhi's 'daughter'...... Hmph, speaking of which, this Mu Yizhi is a big thing for me, these annoying things, royal sister, don't worry, even if you don't do it, the royal brother will definitely make them look good! ”
"Well, thank you Brother Huang, but naturally, this palace will not let her go! Let's see what kind of gift she has to give! ”
Because of Princess Mingzhu's angry departure, the hundred 'flowers' banquet could not be completed, although everyone's attitude towards Mu Qingya was much better on the surface, but the schadenfreude in their eyes became more and more intense! The emperor is the master of the 'jade' cold, and it is naturally a blessing to be able to get the emperor's favoritism, but for this great blessing to offend Princess Mingzhu, then the king of Hades on this earth will have to look for your bad luck all the time, I really don't know if this Mu Qingya is good luck or misfortune, and she has received two preferential treatment at the same time!
The matter at the Hundred 'Flowers' banquet was quickly spread, and Concubine Qin even told her in every possible way before letting Qin Jin and Mu Qingya leave the palace! Back in the courtyard, Mu Qingya lay on the couch like a prostration, her pale face frightened Le Qin and Le Qi: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Mu Qingya wanted to ask for a head: "It's okay!" Leqin, you go to tell your mother, and you say that I tossed too much today, and I was a little tired, so I went to sleep first and didn't go to say hello to her! Reassure mothers! ”
"Yes!" Leqin glanced at Mu Qingya worriedly, and slowly exited the room!
Le Qi stepped forward and massaged Mu Qingya's shoulders with moderate strength: "Miss, the slave maid has heard that you want to send perfect embroidery to the emperor's birthday banquet, this is ......"
Mu Qingya opened her eyes: "I didn't expect this matter to spread quickly!" ”
"Miss, this gift is not easy to give, it is perfect, this requirement is very vague! Where can it be perfect! Moreover, there is still a long time before the emperor's birthday, and there are too many changes in it, if someone takes the opportunity to suppress you, it will be difficult for you to turn over! ”
"I'm not worried, what are you worried about, no matter what, in exchange for the emperor's trust with a temporary predicament, no matter what the price is, I must do it! Only in this way can my father gain a foothold in Kyoto, and what is more powerful than the emperor's trust? ”
Le Qi nodded: "That embroidery ......"
"Don't worry, I have my own way! By the way, how is the situation with my mother today? ”
"Madame is very good there, nothing is wrong, because by your orders, you did not tell the lord the news of Madame's pregnancy!"
"Well, that's good, my father will not arrive in about half a month, so I will announce it to the public, I will practice embroidery skills wholeheartedly, improve the stitching method, prepare gifts for the emperor, and close the 'door' to thank the guests these days, and not go out!"
"Yes, Miss!"
"One more thing, you go and inform Duanmu Lingyu that it's time to do it!"
