Chapter 412: The Coming of the Imperial Ride (I)
Duanmu Lingyu nodded: "Well, I was just about to tell you about this matter, I have to rush back to the imperial team first, otherwise I am afraid that it will arouse Mo Ao's suspicion." DM”
Looking at his focused eyes, Mu Qingya's heart was slightly sour, and she was extremely reluctant, but she also knew that the two would meet very easily, so she only advised: "Be careful in everything." ”
Duanmu Lingyu's eyes were bent, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he nodded solemnly in agreement: "Well, good!" ”
At noon, Mu Qingya personally sent Duanmu Lingyu away, and after watching his figure disappear as he was escorted away by the secret guards, it took a while before turning around and returning to the cabinet.
Le Qi came up with tea: "Miss, don't worry, the emperor will come back soon." ”
Mu Qingya smiled: "I'm naturally not worried, by the way, what happened to Han Lingying?" ”
"I didn't find anything for the time being, as if Han Zhongxuan had forgotten her."
Mu Qingya shook her head: "Han Zhongxuan can arrange people there with great difficulty, naturally he won't forget her like this, just let the secret guard take a good look at her, don't alarm anyone, let alone run into Han Zhongxuan's dead soldiers." ”
"Yes, miss, don't worry, the slave will tell them seriously."
Time flies, the rumors caused by Xia Jingyan have not yet dispersed, the palace has changed its appearance, the original quiet atmosphere has been replaced by a joy, all the palaces have basically been cleaned, and many places have been hung with red silk, which looks particularly festive.
Duanmu Mingli has also lived in Huayu Palace with peace of mind, no longer going out, and being a bride with peace of mind.
Le Qi took the gift list to Mu Qingya and replied: "Miss, these gifts have been read three times, you can see if there is anything missing." ”
Mu Qingya looked at it carefully and nodded: "There is nothing missing, but take out the pair of jade pendants with dragon and phoenix cloud patterns, after all, the name of this wedding is Chongxi, and Mo Junqing is just a county king, the specifications of that pair of jade pendants are too high, you take another box and put it up, I can send it as a personal gift." ”
"Yes, miss." Le Qi hurriedly took out a good wooden box, wrapped the jade pendant carefully, and put it in Mu Qingya's hand.
Thinking that Duanmu Lingyu's royal car would enter the city tomorrow, Mu Qingya got up and tidied up her clothes: "Put these gifts in different categories, and you can follow me to see Princess Mingli." ”
"Yes, miss."
At this time, the Huayu Palace was already full of lights, that is, a small garden outside the door had been carefully trimmed, leaving only the red flowers in full bloom, and all the others were withdrawn.
As soon as Mu Qingya arrived at the door, a palace maid hurriedly greeted her: "The slave maid has seen the county lord, and the princess has long been talking about missing the county lord." ”
Mu Qingya smiled: "Well, Leqi, reward." ”
"Yes, miss."
The palace maid was rewarded, and the compliment on her face became more and more obvious: "Princess, Lord Mu is here." ”
When Duanmu Lingyu heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand to let the palace maid who combed her hair retreat, got up and walked to the door to welcome Mu Qingya in: "The princess is exceptionally beautiful today. ”
Duanmu Mingli's face turned red, and she shook off Mu Qingya's hand with some shame: "You also laughed at me, did you come to make fun of me?" ”
Mu Qingya took the jade box from Le Qi's hand: "You are wrong, I am here to give you a gift." ”
Duanmu Mingli put on the chair on the side and waved his hand to let the palace maids retreat: "I know that you have a lot of good things there, don't give them too badly, otherwise I will not only not accept them, but also complain to the imperial brother." ”
"It's the first time I've known that Princess Yuhan is also greedy for money, okay, take a good look, this gift is enough? If it's not enough, I'll hurry back and prepare, lest you be sued by the wicked first. ”
Duanmu Mingli smiled, took the box and opened it carefully, and when she saw the contents inside, the surprise on her face became more and more obvious: "This is Hetian Nuan Jade Dragon and Phoenix Cloud Pattern Mandarin Duck Pei?" ”
Mu Qingya nodded appreciatively: "The princess has a good eye, this pair of jade pendants is the dragon and phoenix cloud pattern mandarin duck pendant, because the material is warm jade, long-term wear is excellent for the body, life in the palace is dangerous, and I know that you are a big ambition, so you can wear this jade pendant closely, however, be careful not to let people find out, I believe that one day, the princess will be able to wear this phoenix pendant openly." ”
Duanmu Mingli's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth were raised high: "Yes, even if it is for your words, I will not let you down, thank you." Knowing that this is a part of Qingya's heart, although she feels that the gift is too expensive, but she did not shirk it, she knows this jade pendant, I heard that when Mu Qingya was poisoned and fainted, her royal brother specially found it, in order to use this pair of jade pendants to warm Mu Qingya's body, but now she has sent this gift, and she can already prove her and the imperial brother's attitude towards herself.
Seeing Duanmu Mingli carefully put away the gift, Mu Qingya smiled and did not insist that Duanmu Mingli bring it.
"By the way, the imperial brother's royal car will arrive tomorrow, what are your plans?" Duanmu Mingli's tone was slight when she spoke, Mu Qingya is her future sister-in-law, this is a sure thing, she is a little disrespectful to call her Qingya at this time, and it seems too distant to call the county lord, and she can't call the imperial sister-in-law, so after thinking about it, she simply didn't call anything, and directly called you the imperial sister-in-law, and then directly changed her name to the imperial sister-in-law.
"What can I plan, he will naturally have the Canglan royal family in charge of greeting him, I just need to wait."
"Hehe, yes, the imperial brother is also reluctant to let you work hard, by the way, speaking of greeting, because the imperial brother is here to attend my wedding, so Mo Ao directly ordered the king of Chunjun to receive it, nothing will happen, right?"
Mu Qingya paused slightly, and was a little surprised in her heart: "Greeted by Mo Junqing?" So what is Mo Ao going to do? ”
The smile on Duanmu Mingli's face dissipated a little: "Speaking of which, I'm also very curious, logically speaking, the imperial brother is the emperor of Yuhan, no matter what the reason for coming to Canglan, it should be Mo Ao who personally greeted him." ”
"Does the princess know who proposed it?"
"I heard that some ministers originally proposed that Mo Ao was not in good health and could let the prince replace him to meet the royal brother's royal car, and those ministers clearly wanted the second prince Mo Junwei to take over this task, but I didn't expect the emperor to finally reject their proposal, and instead let the third prince receive it, and let the fourth prince and the fifth prince assist from the side."
Mu Qingya thought for a while, and lowered her eyes slightly: "I think that Mo Ao is going to inspect several princes, and then choose one of them as the heir." ”
Duanmu Mingli was stunned for a moment, and her body was a little unnaturally stiff: "This ...... Is it possible......"
"Mo Ao's body is no longer good, and I think Xu He should also tell him that if he doesn't cultivate an heir, I'm afraid he will really run out of time, so it's definitely possible. Moreover, is there a more suitable test for the reception of a monarch? ”
"Then why don't you let Mo Junwei participate, logically speaking, he should be the most potential prince at present, how could Mo Ao leave him alone, could it be that the previous events annoyed him."
Mu Qingya shook her head, revealing a thoughtful smile: "I'm afraid that the emperor didn't give up on Mo Junling, but regarded him as the most suitable heir to investigate." ”
Duanmu Mingli was surprised: "This ...... Is it possible? ”
"How is it impossible, don't you think that compared to the Third Prince and the others, the test faced by Mo Junwei, who does not have to receive Duanmu Lingyu, is the greatest?"
Duanmu Mingli suddenly said: "That's true." At this time, the second prince is already under pressure, and it is easiest to see a person's temperament under this kind of pressure, and with Mo Junling's deep mind, I am afraid that he will become the biggest winner. ”
"It's man-made, it's not at the last moment, who can say accurately, don't think about it now, princess, you also know that since Mo Ao definitely uses Duanmu Lingyu as a raft to choose the next heir to the throne, then your wedding will definitely not be calm, you have to be mentally prepared."
Duanmu Mingli was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised her eyes, the firmness and fortitude in her eyes were obvious, and her eyes flashed like stars at night: "Don't worry, I, Duanmu Mingli, are not so fragile, this wedding can be described as unprecedentedly vast, and there is a royal brother to marry in person, so no matter what, I will marry to the Chunjun Mansion in a beautiful manner and become the hostess of the Junwang Mansion." ”
The light of appreciation in Mu Qingya's eyes became more and more intense: "Okay, since the princess has such ambitions, Qingya will definitely do her best to help the princess." ”
Duanmu Lingyu stepped forward and held Mu Qingya's hand tightly, the thought in her heart was unprecedentedly firm, Phoenix Bathed in Fire Nirvana, no matter what this wedding became, she would smile to the end, fair or lucky, she finally chose Mo Junqing, then she had to support him all the way, even if it was just a name, she would take advantage of the east wind to go straight to the blue sky and wave the floating clouds!
The two talked for a while in Huayu Palace, and Mu Qingya left with Le Qi. After all, Duanmu Mingli still had a lot of things to prepare at this time, so she naturally couldn't continue to delay.
Unexpectedly, not far from Huayu Palace, I saw Mo Junqing walking from the direction of the Imperial Garden.
Mo Junqing saw Mu Qingya stunned first, and then a smile appeared on his face: "The county lord is going to visit Princess Mingli?" ”
"Well, exactly."
Mo Junqing paused for a moment and asked again: "Princess Mingli is ready, but what is missing?" ”
"Everything is almost ready, and if there is any shortage, the princess will definitely send someone to inform King Chunjun."
Mo Junqing nodded: "Thank you county lord, since this is the case, Junqing will leave first." ”
Mu Qingya bowed slightly, looked at the back of Mo Junwei leaving, and relaxed slightly: "Okay, let's go back too." ”
"Yes, County Lord."
