Chapter 176 Chapter 174 An Unexpected Visitor (I)
Mu Qingya didn't have anything to do at home for the time being, anyway, everything that should be 'handed over' was 'handed over', and the rest of the things would be 'handed over' to Duanmu Lingyu, but she didn't expect that Duanmu Lingyu's movements would be so fast.
It was the day after Duanmu Lingyu went back, Mu Yi came back from the court and brought the news that the palace was going to open a draft, and half a month later, the first general election in the palace, officials above the sixth grade, and the 'female' child who was over 14 years old all entered the palace to be selected. Mu Yizhi frowned tightly, looking at Mu Qingya's complicated expression, but in the end, he didn't say anything, only told Mu Qingya to be careful in the palace. Qin Yue almost fainted after hearing the news, since Qingya was repeatedly injured, she didn't want her 'daughter' to contact the palace, and directly asked Mu Yizhi to find a way to see if she could escape the draft, and Mu Qingya couldn't smile bitterly, so she finally calmed her down.
Back in her yard, Mu Qingya was still feeling sorry for Qin Yue's actions, with a shallow smile on her face, but she didn't want her face to change suddenly after seeing the greeting post handed over by Le Qi.
On the red 'color' worship post, the flying strokes read: Mo Junling, the second prince of Canglan Kingdom, and Mo Junqing, the third prince, invited Mu Qingya, the 'daughter' of Mu Yizhi, to participate in the 'flower' banquet.
Le Qi on the side saw that Mu Qingya's expression was unhappy, and hurriedly asked softly: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I remember what Duanmu Lingyu said before, Mo Junling and Mo Junqing have returned to Canglan Country, why are they still in Kyoto?"
Le Qi was also stunned: "Because before the emperor ascended the throne, Kyoto was more 'swinging', and the emperor did send someone to send them back first, and I haven't heard any news recently that they came to 'jade' Han, miss, this post was handed over by the prince of Canglan?" ”
Mu Qingya's expression became more and more cold: "You go and inquire, I want to know why we didn't receive any news from them when they came." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid will go at once."
Closing the post, Mu Qingya's lips moved slightly: "Mo Junling, what tricks are you doing?" ”
After two hours, Le Qi came back, and his face was a little dignified: "Miss, the slave maid went to ask Wei Xi, this morning, the second prince and the third prince of Canglan Country arrived in the 'jade' cold, and were arranged by the emperor in the 'spring' garden." ”
"Arrived this morning?" Mu Qingya frowned slightly.
"Yes."
They just arrived this morning, and they actually sent a message of worship, inviting them to enjoy the 'flowers'? It's a 'jade' cold here, not a country of Canglan, what words they haven't seen before, and invite others to appreciate it?
"Who did they invite?"
"The slave maid heard that the families of officials of all sizes in Kyoto have received posts, and even the emperor has gone to the invitation." Le Qi gritted his teeth, thinking of what Wei Yi said just now, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "There is one more thing, the slave maid also heard that there is also a princess from Canglan who came with him this time." ”
"I see, you go down." Waving her hand to signal Le Qi to go down, Mu Qingya's heart was a little uneasy, before, Duanmu Qing ordered her to help Mo Junqing see the injury on her 'leg', but it was delayed because of the subsequent battle of the prince's succession, and she herself was even more poisoned and difficult to protect herself, in addition, Mo Junqing also returned to Canglan Country before, she had forgotten about this matter, but she didn't want that now, they actually came to 'Jade' Han again, and brought a princess. What is the purpose of that Mo Junling?
Mu Qingya's mind was restless, Duanmu Lingyu also couldn't guess Mo Junwei's approach, it stands to reason that when he ascended the throne, Canglan Country had already sent envoys to send congratulatory gifts, and there was no need to come again, and now, not only came, but also two princes, which was unusual. What's more, recently there was news from the secret guard that the king of Canglan Country was seriously ill and intended to pass on the throne to the second prince, at this time, Mo Junwei would never leave his country if he had a little thought, but he left unexpectedly, is he showing that he does not covet the throne at all? Hmph, the prince who was born in the royal family doesn't have any thoughts about the throne, and even a three-year-old child won't believe it when he says it!
No matter how much wind and waves Mo Junqing's arrival 'stirred' up in Kyoto, the 'flower' banquet three days later did not hesitate to arrive.
Mu Qingya didn't go too early, when she arrived, most of the people had already arrived, and they were gathering together to chat and talk. Mu Qingya's arrival attracted everyone's sideways, a sunset purple silk Ruyi cloud pattern shirt, with a satin embroidered 'flower' hundred butterfly skirt, covered with an emerald brocade feather satin cloak, it seems that the whole person is more and more white Saixue, bright eyes are good, such as ink hair coiled into a bun, carefully 'inserted' and Tilian Begonia's winged 'jade' Luanbu shake hairpin, next to it is also decorated with beads made of rubies 'flower', the noble atmosphere is 'exposed', and the other ladies are pressed down.
The music and chess and music qin followed behind him are very proud, on weekdays, the young lady does not like to dress up, and often uses a white 'jade' hairpin on the head to coil up and no longer add any decoration, those people actually think that the young lady is not conspicuous, hum, today a little dress will be 'Yan' pressed to the group, see if they dare to talk behind their backs in the future.
Mu Qingya didn't know the thoughts of the two girls behind her, and just took two steps forward, she heard a gentle voice coming over: "I think this is Miss Mu Qingyamu?" ”
Mu Qingya turned her head and looked in the direction where the voice came, and was slightly stunned at a glance, it was a young 'girl' who spoke, wearing a snow-white dress, only embroidering a Yimi 'flower' with colored threads on the placket, which was clearly a very simple outfit, but it made people feel less and less simple, but set off her more and more beautifully, and the slender hem was layered like a snow-white 'flower', and this young 'girl' was like stepping on' The fairy on the flower, what is more brilliant is a pair of eyes, on the fair and flawless face, a pair of eyes are like a pearl falling into the lake, clear and clear, bright as stars.
"I think you are the princess of Liuchen in Canglan Country, Mu Qingya has seen the princess." As early as before, Le Qi said that there were two princes who came together this time, and there was a princess who was favored by the Canglan Emperor, and it was rumored that this princess was named the first beauty of Canglan Country, and some people praised her: light Luo small fan white orchid 'flower', slender waist 'jade' with dancing veil. It is suspected that the fairy 'girl' came down to earth, and she looked back and smiled at Xinghua. I see it now, but from the point of view of appearance, it really lives up to its reputation.
Mo Liuchen covered his lips and smiled lightly: "Miss Mu doesn't need to be polite, I heard that Miss Mu was unwell some time ago, but I don't know if it's okay?" ”
Mu Qingya slightly hooked the corners of her lips: "I'm tired of the princess, I'm fine." ”
Mo Liuchen smiled: "That's good, there is no need to worry about it." ”
Mu Qingya's eyes moved, as if she didn't hear her words: "Thank you princess for your concern." ”
"I still have to go to see the preparations for the banquet, Miss Mu will sit first."
"Princess, please."
Mo Liuchen walked back slowly with the four palace 'women', Le Qi stepped forward and said softly, with a hint of solemnity in his voice: "Miss, those four palace 'women' are all martial arts, and they are not weak in reaching out, if two people join forces, the slave and maid will not win." ”
Mu Qingya nodded, sitting on the stool next to the pavilion, her expression changing at all. Some of the young ladies of the family who were also invited around were unwilling to be lonely. Although they had learned the lessons of the previous times, they didn't dare to say anything to Mu Qingya directly, but they discussed it loudly on the side: "I heard that Princess Liuchen was named the first beautiful 'girl' in Canglan Country, and now when I see it, it really deserves its reputation, but the bearing of her body is difficult for others to match." ”
"The princess is naturally different from us, she was raised in the palace."
"You don't know yet, I heard that Princess Liuchen came here for marriage this time."
"Marriage? The princess wants to marry our 'jade' Hanlai, so isn't it only the emperor who can marry? ”
"Naturally, the emperor married Princess Liuchen, do you think anyone else has this qualification? It's not just right now, the emperor wants to draft and expand the harem, how can the princess be a concubine after she enters......"
Le Qi stood aside a little worried, and was slightly relieved to see that Mu Qingya's expression had not changed.
But I didn't know that Mu Qingya didn't have any expression on her face when she heard those words, but she pressed her mind to the bottom of her heart, no wonder the news would reach the Mu family like that, I originally thought it was Mo Junyu who came suddenly, Duanmu Lingyu didn't have time to tell her, now it seems that Duanmu Lingyu deliberately delayed time, just to prevent her from knowing the news, Mo Liuchen is the favorite 'daughter' of the lord of Canglan Country, and she wants to marry 'Yu' Han, so the identity is enough to marry her is naturally Duanmu Lingyu! The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, it seems that things are getting more and more interesting, Mo Junwei is really right to grasp the timing at this time, he just announced that he was going to draft and brought his royal sister over to marry, this timing is too coincidental!
After a short time, there was a palace 'woman' to lead everyone into the table. Mu Qingya followed everyone into the hall, and as soon as she entered the 'door', she heard a low cry of surprise.
"Oh my God, this is the Yimi 'flower' of Canglan Country!"
"It's so pretty......"
Mu Qingya was also shocked by the foreground 'color', there were various postures of Yimi 'flowers' in the palace, you must know that Yimi 'flowers' are the national 'flowers' of Canglan country, this kind of 'flowers' have five years of life, but in these five years never bloom 'flowers', only accumulate nutrients, in the last four days of five years of life, it will bloom 'flower' petals, 'flower' petals are only four, each color 'color' is different, respectively white, yellow, red, blue, beautiful like the 'essence' spirit that landed in the world, four days later,' The petals of the flowers fell one by one, and life came to the last moment. Although this 'flower' is beautiful and the growing conditions are indeed extremely harsh, it is said to have the effect of resurrecting the dead. Now, what Mo Liuchen invites everyone to appreciate is a national treasure.
Mo Liuchen seems to be very satisfied with the effect he brings: "I invite everyone to come today, is to appreciate the national treasure of our country, Yimi 'flower' is cut and dried when it opens, although it does not have the legendary effect of resurrecting the dead, but it can prolong life, and when the appreciation is completed, everyone can take one away." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden burst of discussion. The smile on Mu Qingya's lips deepened slightly, is it a 'flower'? That's a good thing.
