Chapter XXVII
On the dark red carpet, the image of two people is two staggering butterflies, raising their hands, raising their wrists, turning, spinning, and lowering their waists...... Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling cooperate with each other, like the beautiful willows by the lake in the south of the Yangtze River, and the flowing eyebrows and joyful style have fascinated everyone's eyes.
Although she was resentful of the two of them for making a private decision, Mu Qingya also had to admit that the dance of the two of them was extremely beautiful.
After dancing for about half an hour, the two of them spun one after the other, the flying skirts were like delicate flowers, blooming with bursts of stunning beauty, as if there were thousands of lights emitting from the continuous rotation, the two of them became more and more elegant, as if they were going to ride the wind, even the second prince Duan Mu Lingfeng, who had been expressionless, sat up straight slightly, his eyes did not move for a moment.
Suddenly, the rotation of the two came to an abrupt end, and they squatted down slightly, and the fiery red skirt was spread on the ground, like a blooming peony!
"Good!" The second prince cheered, and a touch of color rose in his cold eyes, "Good dance!" What's the name of the two of you? ”
Because of Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling's fierce movements, a layer of fine beads of sweat was covered on their foreheads, shining under the sunlight that spilled in from the window: "Courtier Mu Jinglan (Mu Shiling)." ”
The second prince took a deep look at Mu Jinglan, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "Not bad!" ”
Mu Jinglan raised her eyes suddenly, as if she was frightened by the deep eyes, and lowered her head suddenly, but her face was dyed with a little red cloud.
Mu Qingya's heart tightened, and a touch of uneasiness rose to her heart. The corruption of Jiangnan officials was finally accounted for in the ledger, and the second prince himself introduced several small scapegoats. Although the emperor had the intention to check again, there was not much movement in the end. Although he didn't track it down, the pimple was really left, and the information sent by Leqin said that the emperor had sent a lot less errands to the second prince recently, and he was reprimanded for a trivial matter, and he had a hard time recently! But today, it seems that he still does not give up on the account book, and he is not at ease with the Mu family.
Over there, the third prince also clapped his hands and applauded: "It's really good, the dance of the two young ladies is really amazing!" ”
Mu Shiling raised her head, with a bright smile on her face: "Thank you for the compliment!" Shi Ling and her sister just didn't want to embarrass Qingya's sister, so they came to offer ugliness, since they have been praised by the second prince and the third prince, you don't have to embarrass my sister anymore! ”
"Hehe, nature, nature." The third prince thought about Mu Qingya and looked over, but saw her sitting there squarely, her slightly immature face was full of calm, and her indifferent eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if nothing could break the blandness, and a trace of curiosity suddenly rose in her heart.
The Seventh Prince shook the fan in his hand: "Second Emperor Brother, Third Emperor Brother, since you all praise well, why don't you reward one or two?" ”
The second prince frowned: "Seventh brother! "The two sisters are not singers and dancers, and after dancing, what kind of reward do they have! The third prince also glanced at Duanmu Lingyu with disapproval. Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling's faces turned a little pale.
"Hehe, isn't this prince joking?"
The third prince thought for a while, and then spoke: "In ten days, it will be my mother's birthday, so the two young ladies might as well go into the palace with Miss Qin to celebrate her birthday!" ”
Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling's eyes froze, and then a trace of ecstasy flashed, entering the palace, entering the palace! They never dreamed that they would be able to enter the palace one day, how could this not make them excited?
The two hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Third Prince!" ”
Duanmu Lingxuan nodded and looked at Mu Qingya: "Miss Mu San, what do you think?" ”
Mu Qingya got up and saluted: "Being able to enter the palace to congratulate Concubine Wan on her birthday is naturally a blessing for Qingya, how dare Qingya postpone it, thank you to the third prince!" "Entering the palace to celebrate the birthday of the imperial concubine, she is still the emperor's favorite concubine, where can she refuse.
After the banquet, Mu Qingya went straight back to the courtyard. Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling were a little apprehensive in their hearts, after this period of time, they instinctively had a trace of awe for Mu Qingya in their hearts, although they had achieved more results than they imagined at this banquet, but when facing her, they were still a little afraid to do so. I thought she would at least knock and knock them, but I didn't want her to go back to her yard and didn't even give them a look.
Mu Qingya was lying on the beauty couch, her eyes were dark.
Le Qin was also very angry about Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling's behavior today, seeing Mu Qingya's appearance, she seemed to be angry, and hurriedly said: "Miss, it's good for the eldest lady and the second lady to take it upon themselves to suffer some hardships, but don't be angry for them." ”
Mu Qingya hooked the corners of her mouth slightly: "It's just a clown who jumps off the beam, I don't take it to heart." ”
Leqin came in with tea and put it on the small table beside her, seeing that Mu Qingya was very tired, she moved lightly behind her and rubbed her shoulders: "Miss, but it's because of ...... The Seven Princes? ”
"Leqi, since I keep you by my side, I naturally have trust in you, as long as you don't do anything that harms my Mu family, I naturally don't care about the master you have followed before!"
Le Qi laughed: "Yes, it's the slave who is too careful!" The slave will definitely serve the young lady well! By the way, Mama Zhou sent someone to say that tomorrow is Mrs. Qin's birthday, let Miss rest early today, and she will be busy all day tomorrow! Originally, she was worried that Mu Qingya would blame her because of the identity of the Seventh Prince, but now it seems that the young lady doesn't care much.
Mu Qingya nodded: "I know." You sent someone to be optimistic about Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling, tomorrow the guests will gather, and they will be in a mess! ”
drove people out, I wanted to take a nap, but I didn't want to open my eyes that the sky was already dark, and I couldn't help frowning, how could she sleep for so long, seeing that the room was already dark, and her eyes were still a little uncomfortable when she woke up, so she only closed her eyes slightly and called softly: "Leqin?" ”
The sound of footsteps came, and he stopped softly on the edge of the couch, and a cup of tea was handed over.
Mu Qingya opened her eyes suddenly and shouted in a low voice, "Who?" ”
"Hehe," a low smile came, "why doesn't Qingya even remember me, it's so sad?" ”
The familiar tone made Mu Qingya relax slightly, and raised her head to look over. The light in the room was too dim, and I didn't really see it, but I felt that he was extremely slender when he looked at him like this: "The Seventh Prince is so Yaxing, isn't it particularly interesting to break into someone's boudoir in the middle of the night?" ”
Duanmu Lingyu sat down on the embroidery pier on the side and handed it over: "I don't think it's interesting, it's true that it's pleasing to the eye!" Thinking of the scene he saw when he first came in, a smile rose in his heart, he didn't expect this girl who was unusually cold during the day and rejected people thousands of miles away, and after falling asleep, he exclaimed that it was so lovely. curled up slightly on the beauty couch, her closed eyelids trembled slightly, as if she was sleeping very unsteadily, and her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if she had been wronged......
Mu Qingya didn't shirk, took the teacup and drank it, and after quenching her thirst, she directly handed the teacup over. Duanmu Lingyu was stunned for a moment, then took the teacup and put it aside. Mu Qingya asked, "What are you doing today?" ”
Duanmu Lingyu made a look of injury, but seeing that she was unmoved, a smile flashed in her eyes: "I just want to see Qingya, people don't see each other for three days, I haven't seen you for so long, I want to come ......"
"Ledger!" Mu Qingya spit out two words and directly cut off Duanmu Lingyu's words.
Duanmu Lingyu choked: "I really can't hide anything from you, you also saw the attitude of the second prince and the third prince today, your two sisters are good, but they haven't reached the point where they have entered their eyes!" ”
Mu Qingya looked at the faintly lit window: "The ledger is indeed here." ”
Duanmu Lingyu's eyes flashed slightly, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his heart, after the Mu family set fire, he took the opportunity to turn over the entire Mu family, and almost dug the Mu family three feet into the ground, but there was no trace of the account book, he almost thought that Mu Qingya had directly destroyed the account book.
"I can give you the ledger!" Mu Qingya spoke again.
"Oh? What are the conditions for Qingya? ”
"Conditions? It's time to keep my mother safe in the Qin Mansion! Mu Qingya thought for a while and said.
Duanmu Lingyu was stunned for a moment when she didn't expect her to put forward such conditions: "That's it? ”
"What, can't the Seventh Prince even do this?"
"Hehe, Qingya, rest assured, I will definitely protect Mrs. Mu will not lose even a single hair!"
Mu Qingya hooked the corners of her mouth: "That's good." I'll give the ledger to Leqi, and then you can send someone to her to get it!" Okay, you can go, I'm going to visit my mother! ”
Duanmu Lingyu approached Mu Qingya: "Qingya, you don't want to see me so much?" ”
The warm breath spewed on Mu Qingya's neck, itchy with some discomfort: "Leqin!" ”
There was movement at the door: "Yes, Miss! ”
Duanmu Lingyu was secretly annoyed, and only said in her ear, "Be careful of Qin Jin", and left through the window.
Leqin came in and lit the lamp: "Miss, Mrs. sent someone to ask just now, but she didn't call when she saw that Miss was still asleep." ”
"Hmmm! What about chess? ”
"Called away by Mama Zhou? Said to help check Miss's birthday gift again! ”
Mu Qingya nodded: "Later, when she comes back, you ask her to come to me." ”
"Yes!" Leqin put the dinner on the table and took a cloth towel for Mu Qingya to wipe her hands, "Miss, this is sent by Mrs., and it was made by Mrs. herself." ”
Looking at the dim sum on the plate, Mu Qingya's eyes were slightly warm: "Mother always bothers like this!" In her heart, she was even more determined to protect her, although she didn't know how powerful Duanmu Lingyu was, but if she wanted to protect a woman in the Qin Mansion, she should be able to do more for Qin Yue's safety. That ledger is most effective when it is in his hands, and even if he doesn't ask for it, she will send it to him!
After a night's rest, the sky soon brightened, the Qin Mansion had changed its appearance overnight, the red silk cloth hung all over the courtyard, and the huge Qin Mansion was full of flowers and festive images. The majestic gate opened early to welcome the busy birthday procession!
Mu Qingya got up early to clean up, always felt uneasy in her heart, and asked about the situation of the birthday ceremony and Qin Yue again, before she was slightly relieved, but she didn't expect that there was still a problem at this birthday banquet!
