Chapter 170: Chapter 168: Family (I)

In the falling 'flower' water pavilion, a young 'girl' leaned on the railing, pinched a begonia in her hand, and gently pinched off a few 'flower' petals and threw them into the water, causing the turquoise lake to cause ripples. Beside her, a snow-white cat was lying on her stomach, pounced on a grasshopper made of braiding, and occasionally whined in frustration when she couldn't pounce, causing the two slaves and maids who were guarding the pavilion to laugh and tremble.

"Miss, it's noon at this time, the emperor should come back, do you go to the front hall and wait, otherwise the emperor will come to find it later."

The young 'girl' in the pavilion came back, and a smile rose on her beautiful face: "Leqi, I see that you are less and less interested in me as a young lady, he is going down to let him come to me, can you use me to find him?" ”

Le Qi chuckled: "Yes, yes, the lesson of the young lady is that the slave apologized to the young lady." ”

Mu Qingya gently hooked the corners of her mouth, ignored the playful smile on Le Qi's face, and gently threw the begonia 'flower' in her hand to the cat playing aside: "Cat, let's go." ”

The kitten was startled by the suddenly falling begonia 'flower', and then rushed up angrily to the 'flower' and bit it, until it heard the owner's voice and stopped, and jumped to Mu Qingya's feet dexterously, rubbing her ankle with her big head, and making a tender meow in her mouth.

Mu Qingya didn't pay attention to it, and walked straight towards the Zhuanghua Palace on the side. Because of the habit of living here, Duanmu Lingyu asked her several times to move to a place close to the Qianqing Palace, but she refused, there was no way, he had to move most of the government affairs to the nearby Ninglu Palace, and then let those ministers run back and forth every day, making those ministers who were powerful all day miserable.

Before he entered the 'door' of the hall, he saw Duanmu Ling Yu, who was wearing a bright yellow 'colored' dragon robe, striding over: "Qingya, where have you gone, I've been looking for you for a long time!" ”

Wei Xi on the side wiped the sweat on his head and walked to Le Qi's side cautiously: "What did Miss do, the emperor is going to turn Zhuanghua Palace over, you look at the cold sweat on my head, I will be scared to death by the master." “

Le Qi gave him a look of contempt: "You are really getting more and more useless." “

Wei Xi's eyes widened: "I'm useless? Otherwise, if we change jobs, you go to serve the emperor, and you can scare your guts in two days, as long as you can't find the young lady, the air conditioning ......"

Le Qi glanced at Wei Xi with a smile: "I will be scared at most to serve the emperor, and you will soon become a subordinate of the head of Gude." ”

"You ......" Wei Xi trembled, thinking of the emperor's attitude towards Miss Mu, if he really let him stay by her side, it is estimated that the emperor can really order him to be castrated, cough cough...... Forget it, let's honestly serve the emperor.

Ignoring the two subordinates who whispered 'private' words, Mu Qingya returned to Zhuanghua Palace with Duanmu Lingyu: "Why did you go down to the court so early today?" ”

Duanmu Lingyu choked up: "It's not that group of courtiers, hum, a group of pedantic sour Confucians, I must cure their stinky 'hair' disease." ”

"What's the matter, who's you off again?"

"It's not those people from the Hanlin Academy, I just want to mention my father-in-law's official position, they even blocked it many times, and finally united those officials, hmph, I really thought I wouldn't dare to do them!" Duanmu Lingyu said over and over again, squinting his eyes to peek at Mu Qingya's reaction.

Seeing Duanmu Lingyu's puffed appearance, Mu Qingya chuckled: "Just for this matter? ”

Hearing that Mu Qingya did not object to her father-in-law calling Mu Yizhi, Duanmu Lingyu had a bright smile on his face, but he tried his best to suppress it: "Where is the trivial matter, they are disrespectful to the father-in-law!" ”

Mu Qingya glanced at him, since she had even compromised on entering the palace, she didn't care about Duanmu Lingyu taking advantage of her in her mouth: "Although my father saved the emperor before, but after that, the emperor also gave a reward, if you talk about promotion at this time, it will naturally attract opposition from a group of ministers, and besides, even if there is a reason, those ministers may not be willing to see my father promoted so quickly." ”

Duanmu Lingyu walked to Mu Qingya's side, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and saw that she just raised her eyebrows and did not object, so he hugged her tightly, and a trace of contentment flashed in her eyes: "Qingya, I want to bring up my father-in-law's official position, and then officially marry you as the queen, I don't want people to have any dissatisfaction with you." Qingya is irreplaceable for him, and he doesn't want people to criticize her because of her background.

Mu Qingya smiled sarcastically: "Hmph, dissatisfied? It's that my father is now the Duke of Fuguo, and they are also dissatisfied when they should be dissatisfied, why should you care about this, even if there is dissatisfaction, they dare to say it in front of the post-sealing ceremony? Since they don't have the courage to say it, they will be their ministers honestly! ”

Hearing these remarks, Duanmu Lingyu was stunned at first, and then a sense of pride arose, worthy of being elegant, worthy of being the 'female' person he Duanmu Lingyu fancied!

"By the way, I'm leaving the palace tomorrow."

"Out of the palace? How do you think about leaving the palace, is there anything in the palace that makes you dissatisfied, you name it......"

"No, after these two months, my body has almost recovered, so naturally I want to go home to see my mother and brother, I haven't seen them for so long, and I don't know how they should worry!"

Duanmu Lingyu thought for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, then you can go, you go down and go back today, I will send someone to pick you up at night, and you can stay at home for two hours......" With Mu Qingya's cold eyes, her voice became smaller and smaller.

Mu Qingya got up, ignored his complaining gaze, walked to the 'door' and commanded Le Qi: "Pack up your things, and go home from the palace later." ”

"Yes, miss."

In Zhuanghua Palace, Duanmu Lingyu sat on the soft couch that Mu Qingya liked, boringly flipping through the scroll in his hand, this book Qingya has read it so many times, and she doesn't know what to see? In the past, when Qingya was there, it always felt that time was so fast, but now it is like a year, as if every minute is tormenting. got up anxiously and paced back and forth in the hall: "Wei Xi, Qingya is home now?" ”

"Your Majesty, Miss Mu has been away for half an hour, and now she has already arrived home, and the secret guard has already reported."

Duanmu Lingyu's brows furrowed even more, there was always extra cold in this palace, and Mu Qingya was always extraordinarily cold, making him feel anxious and uneasy just by doing it here: "What excuse do you think I should find to leave the palace?" ”

The corners of Wei Xi's mouth twitched: "Your Majesty, when Miss Mu was about to leave the palace, she said that you should not leave the palace, even if you leave the palace, you don't want to go to the Mu family, otherwise you will live at home for half a month." ”

Duanmu Lingyu's eyes widened, and he glanced at him coldly: "You remember clearly." ”

Wei Xi felt bitter in his heart: Master, your subordinates are also for your own good, it's useless for you to take your subordinates out of anger, Miss Mu has already left, you can't chase people back even if you grind a 'hole' in the soles of your shoes!

"Back to the emperor, the Privy Council Minister Zhao Wei asks to see him."

The voice of the chief manager of Gude at the entrance of the 'door' came in, Duanmu Lingyu flicked his sleeves and strode out, the expression on his face had instantly returned to his previous majesty, rigor, and fierceness.

Wei Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and when he walked out of the palace gate, he glanced at the Gu manager with emotion, and he would definitely invite your old man to drink another day. Goode was confused and couldn't figure it out.

No matter how anxious Duanmu Lingyu in the palace was, Mu Qingya finally returned to the Mu family. Seeing Qin Yue's tearful appearance, his heart was slightly sour: "Mother." ”

"Ya'er! Ya'er, you're finally fine, my mother is worried about death, in case something happens to you...... Mother's ...... me"

Mu Qingya leaned on Qin Yue's warm arms, with tears in her eyes, some time ago, Duanmu Lingyu had arranged for Ying Wei to look like her and live in the Mu family temporarily, but she didn't know what was going on, Qin Yue could see at a glance that the person was fake, even the little Mu Anzhi was unwilling to get close to that person, and in the end, there was no way to make a noise, so Mu Yizhi told Qin Yue the truth. Although she repeatedly assured that Mu Qingya was fine, it also caused her to shed tears all day long.

"Sister!" A small figure pounced and shouted out to her sister in her mouth.

Mu Qingya was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously hugged her soft little body into her arms before she reacted: "An Zhi? ”

"Sister, An Zhixiang, sister." Mu Anzhi's white and tender face had a 'flower'-like smile, and his black eyes were full of pure joy.

"My sister also wants to be safe."

Mu Anzhi nodded his head, and patted the 'chest' of the 'meat' with his little hand: "Anzhi, be good!" ”

"Well, Ann is the best." Gently pinching his little face, Mu Qingya only felt her heart slowly, looking at Mu Yizhi who was standing straight on the side, although he didn't speak, but the 'excitement' and relief in his eyes couldn't be stopped, having such a home was the best compensation for her.

The family returned to the house lively, Qin Yue repeatedly ordered his subordinates to hurry up and serve the food, holding Mu Qingya's hand and sighing that she had lost weight. There was no way to be told, Mu Qingya had no choice but to put Mu Anzhi who was glued to her side into Qin Yue's arms to divert her attention, and motioned to Le Qi on the side to bring the cat over with her.

Mu Anzhi was originally very dissatisfied with leaving his sister's arms, but when he saw the cat that Le Qi brought in, his eyes instantly lit up, and he waved his little hand vigorously: "Sister, sister!" ”

Mu Qingya smiled and took the cat out of the cage: "Anzhi, do you like cats?" ”

"Cats?" Mu Anzhi let out a small exclamation, his big eyes were full of strangeness, and he nodded his little head heavily, "I like it, cat." ”

"Hehe, then 'touch' and 'touch' look."

took Mu Anzhi's little hand and slowly put it on the cat's head. The kitten felt kindness, gently rubbed Xiao Anzhi's palm, and he screamed softly with joy: "Sister, it's soft." ”

Mu Qingya played with her eyes: "Then let the cat play with you." ”

"Okay, cat, play."

At the entrance of the 'door', a slender figure stood stiffly, the luxuriant 'flower' branches covered his expression, only 'exposed' the fist that was half hidden in the sleeve and clenched tightly, and in the 'flower' hall, those laughter and laughter seemed to him as far away as a picture that could never be reached, as if they were a family......
