The fine red silk was tied into silk flowers and hung all over the trees, and from a distance it looked like a bright red cloud.

Qin Yue's invitation today did not receive any cold face, and the old lady Feng had a graceful smile on her face, which made her look a little younger. Today is her most proud day, sitting on the high first seat, looking at the various women and girls kneeling below, a touch of indescribable satisfaction rises in her heart! Not because of the children and grandchildren, but because of the control over them! In this backyard, she has become the one who controls their fate, whether it is a daughter-in-law with a lot of status or a gorgeous granddaughter, as long as she uses a little means, they can go from priceless pearls to fish eyes that everyone hates! In the past, it was not obvious, but today this desire for control is completely displayed!

Mu Qingya quietly took Feng's expression into her eyes, sneered in her heart, but in the end she didn't say anything, only lowered her head lightly!

Qin Jin and Qin Xue walked in hand in hand: "I've seen grandmother!" ”

Feng smiled: "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, Grandmother!" Qin Jin got up and walked behind his mother Lin. But Qin Xue walked to Feng's side, took the tea cup in Grandma Gui's hand, and handed it to her: "Grandmother, drink some tea and snacks first, and wait a while, a group of people outside are waiting to congratulate Grandpa and you!" ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he was even happier in his heart: "Okay, it's still Xue'er's intimacy!" ”

Qin Jin's face turned cold, and then returned to normal: "Grandmother, at yesterday's banquet, the third prince personally invited Sister Qingya and two cousins into the palace to congratulate Concubine Wan on her birthday!" In the past few days, the Qin Mansion has continued to have happy events! ”

Feng Shi was stunned: "You mean, the third prince invited Qingya, Jinglan, and Shiling into the palace?" ”

Qin Jin nodded: "Isn't it!" Originally, I wanted Sister Qingya to show off her talent yesterday, but ...... Sister Jinglan and Sister Shiling danced, which was really amazing! Even the second prince praised again and again! ”

Qin Jin's words paused just right, Feng Shi listened to it, his face was a little displeased, the princes were present, Mu Qingya even shirked his talent and didn't want to show it? Isn't this a shame for the Qin Mansion? Thinking about looking at Mu Qingya's expression, he lightened a little, and looked at Qin Yue with sharp eyes: "What's going on?" ”

Qin Yue's heart tightened, Mu Qingya didn't tell her about this matter, she didn't expect that this birthday would have anything to do with the royal family, and she didn't know how to answer for a while: "Mother......"

Mu Qingya stood up: "Grandmother, I was invited yesterday, Qingya and the two sisters were so excited that they forgot to tell their mother, mother, don't blame Qingya!" ”

Qin Yue nodded: "Mother is naturally not to blame!" ”

"Thank you, Mother." Mu Qingya smiled happily, and then continued, "Grandmother, the two sisters and I can be appreciated by the third prince, and enter the palace to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Wan, so naturally we will do our best, and I hope that grandmother can rest assured!" ”

Feng Shi didn't want to say anything more, only nodded slightly: "That's the best!" After today's birthday banquet, there is still a lot of time before Concubine Wan's birthday, I will send two grandmothers over to teach you etiquette, the palace is not as good as the Qin Mansion, and you can't make people laugh! ”

Mu Jinglan's face on the side was tight, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, but what Feng Shi said was right, she couldn't be criticized in etiquette, thinking of the deep and focused eyes of the second prince at the banquet yesterday, a trace of dryness flashed in her heart.

Mu Shiling glanced at her face, her eyes flashed a hint of gloom, and then she glanced to the side and was startled, Mu Qingya was looking at her! The clear and waveless eyes made her back numb, and she quickly lowered her head to avoid her gaze, she knew that this was Mu Qingya's warning to herself, but the jealousy in her heart was still irrepressibly deep!

Mu Qingya retracted her gaze, a little more calculating in her heart.

Feng Shi saw that the expressions of the three sisters of the Mu family were very deferential, the anger in his heart disappeared a little, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he didn't say anything more, and led everyone to the front yard.

Qin Taifu is in a high position in the court, and several sons are very favored by the emperor, so those who are a little bit on the side have sent congratulatory gifts! The three salute salutes took turns singing and all nodded dumb, and the long list of salutes shocked the people of Kyoto!

Walking through the winding and graceful carved corridor, Mu Qingya finally saw the front yard of the Qin family. At such a large banquet, there are no strict restrictions on men and women, except for a corridor in the middle, and the seats for female guests are on the right.

Looking at the people who came and went to congratulate her birthday, Mu Qingya couldn't help but think of Daoist Chen's birthday banquet, Daoist Chen was a fourth-grade official, and compared to Qin Jiannan, a first-grade official, it was really different! I don't know how much silver taels will cost this banquet alone......

Lin Yunyan had already arrived, and he wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Qin Yuan's cousin, but he didn't want him to be busy and disappear, so he had to sit aside and sulk. Seeing Qin Jin walking over with the old lady, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen the old lady!" ”

Feng Shi waved his hand: "The cloud smoke girl is here, it's not more polite." Jin'er, Xue'er, don't have to serve by my side, go, beckon your friends to go! ”

Qin Xue: "Grandmother, I said before, Xue'er will serve you well, you can't eat too much wine today!" ”

Feng smiled and patted her hand gently: "Don't worry, Mama Gui is here, you can hurry up and play!" Treat your little sister well! ”

Qin Xue told Mama Gui again before retreating!

Lin Yunyan pouted secretly: "Hmph, she is really a concubine who can't be on the stage, and she actually does some slave work!" ”

Qin Jin frowned slightly, with a hint of disapproval in his eyes: "Sister Lin? ”

"Alright, alright, I got it! That is, you are kind-hearted and can tolerate her like this, if I had changed me, I would have found a reason to clean her up, and I would have seen that she was still not so arrogant! Lin Yunyan pulled Qin Jin to the side.

The few people were not far away, and Lin Yunyan couldn't lower his voice, so those words really came into the ears of Mu Qingya and Qin Xue.

Qin Xue's smile remained unchanged, and she slightly sideways her face and said a few words to the maid ring beside her, as if she didn't notice it.

Because she hadn't yet sat down, Mu Qingya only sat by the small pavilion on the side, looking at the lotus flowers blooming in the lake! Thinking about Qin Xue's performance just now, just with that bearing, thinking that this Qin Xue is not an ordinary person!

"Sister Qingya!" Qin Xue Qingyue's voice caused Mu Qingya to come back to her senses.

"Sister."

Qin Xue stopped Mu Qingya from getting up and saluting, and sat next to her: "Sister Qingya, do you like this full house of lotuses?" ”

Mu Qingya smiled: "I don't like it or not, I just look at it!" ”

"Yes, it's just right, it's just that it's blooming on the surface of the water, but it's a ...... of sludge under the water" Qin Xue looked at the lotus flower with gentle eyes.

Mu Qingya frowned slightly: "Sister, what do you mean by this?" Although Qingya doesn't like to read, she also knows that people praise the lotus flower for coming out of the mud and not staining, and she can't raise such a white flower without the silt! ”

"What my sister said is reasonable, but this lotus flower has its own color, and people's hearts are not like this, what does my sister think? Okay, my sister will sit down first, and my sister will go over there and see if there are any of my sisters! After Qin Xue finished speaking, without waiting for Mu Qingya to answer, she led Yahuan away.

Leqin was a little confused, seeing that Mu Qingya was distracted, she called softly: "Miss? ”

Mu Qingya's eyes moved slightly: "Le Qi, you go to follow your mother, I always feel that something is going to happen!" ”

Le Qi was stunned: "Miss, ...... beside you"

"It's okay, it's enough for me to have Leqin with me, no matter what happens, you just take care of your mother!"

Le Qi saw that Mu Qingya had already decided, so he had to nod: "Miss, don't worry!" ”

After staying for a while, a maid ring came to inform her that she was going to sit at the table, Mu Qingya straightened the skirt without wrinkles, and followed the maid ring out, but she didn't want to take two steps, the girl ring who followed on the side accidentally bumped into the tea cup on the stone table on the side, Mu Qingya couldn't dodge, and a tea splashed the corner of the skirt. The little girl knelt down with a bang: "Miss forgiveness, Miss atonement!" ”

Mu Qingya frowned: "It's okay, is there any place around here to freshen up, I'll sort it out!" ”

The little girl stood up tremblingly: "There is one, Miss come with me!" ”

Mu Qingya nodded and followed the little girl to the back room. After walking a short distance, I saw a house next to the garden, and the girl said: "Miss wronged, they are all slaves and maids, damn it!" ”

Mu Qingya hooked the corners of her mouth: "It's okay!" ”

"The young lady is freshening up first, and the slave is waiting outside the door!"

Waiting for the girl ring to withdraw, Leqin hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the handkerchief for Mu Qingya, her eyes were full of anxiety: "Miss, what can I do about this, the banquet is about to start, and it will definitely be too late for the slave to go back to the other clothes!" ”

Mu Qingya shook her head: "No need, others really don't want us to arrive on time, even if we have time, it's useless!" ”

Le Qin was surprised, and hurriedly lowered her voice and asked softly, "Miss, did you mean that the girl just now?" ”

"Okay, you don't have to wipe it, it's time to put on a good show!"

Le Qin was shocked: "Miss, you mean ......" Before she finished speaking, she heard a noise outside.

Lin Yunyan's voice bore the brunt of the matter: "You girl, what you said is true?" This is the place where birthday gifts are stored, how could Sister Qingya be here? ”

"That's right, Sister Qingya won't come to this kind of place even if she wants to freshen up!" Qin Jindao.

"Please Miss be aware that the slave is not lying!"

Hearing that voice, Leqin panicked: "Miss, it's that girl just now, this ......"

"This lotus flower has its own color, and people's hearts are the same color is different, it seems that Qin Xue is trying to remind me! It's getting more and more interesting! Mu Qingya's eyes swept around, and suddenly saw a round bead at the foot of the table, but there was already a crack on the bead.

Seeing the beads Leqin was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and his heart was shocked, seeing that Mu Qingya was still holding the beads and chuckling, her eyes flashed with a hint of determination, she snatched the beads and swallowed them in one gulp!
