Chapter 54: Not as good

Mingzhu didn't look at Yu Wenyou, stepped forward quickly to support Cui's, and said in a low voice: "The sun is big, mother walks slowly, don't be angry with irrelevant people." As he spoke, he walked far.

Yu Wenyou stood alone in place, and his heart was really cold. He thought that after experiencing that knife, when they met again, he took the initiative to provoke again, how could Mingzhu scold him or give him a hateful look, but who knew that she didn't look at him, when he was nothing, he didn't even bother to quarrel and fight.

He had long been accustomed to her flattery and affection, and suddenly everything ceased to exist, and she didn't even bother to give him hatred, he suddenly became a little panicked and unwilling, how did he become so fast?

If all this hadn't happened, she would have been standing beside him delicately at the moment, cheekily smiling and asking him if she looked good...... Yu Wenyou retracted his gaze with some difficulty, changed his indifferent appearance and strode forward, how many people are waiting to see his jokes, he must not leave any flaws.

Sure enough, as Mingzhu expected, nearly half of the ladies from various mansions who entered the palace to worship their birthdays arrived. Everyone was sitting around the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Min, Concubine Min and others, laughing, and when they heard the rumor, they all turned their heads to look at Mingzhu and the others, with a lot of schadenfreude and consideration in their eyes.

Since she dared to come, she was not afraid of these gossips. Mingzhu smiled, didn't care to follow her mother and sister-in-law forward, upright and calmly saluted, the empress dowager loved her the most, and before she finished the salute, she asked the palace people to pull her up and bring her to the front, took her hand and looked carefully: "Thin." ”

Empress Dowager Min half-covered her face with a fan and said with a smile: "It's also more beautiful." ”

Concubine Min just smiled kindly, but Concubine Xiao echoed: "It was originally a beautiful embryo, but now it has grown and will only become more and more outstanding." ”

Mingzhu lowered her eyes, smiled at the corners of her lips, and pretended to be quiet, and let them speak, she didn't say anything.

The Empress Dowager said curiously: "Hey, this is a sudden change of temperament, such a sven and delicate ...... No wonder you say you're sensible. As she spoke, she was a little distressed, holding Mingzhu's hand in her palm and rubbing her robe again and again, feeling that she was frightened by Yu Wenyou.

Mingzhu glanced at the Empress Dowager, and couldn't help but feel sour. My aunt is well-maintained, although she is nearly fifty years old, and she only looks like she is in her thirties, but later, she is sick, old and haggard...... The last time she saw her aunt, her aunt was already seriously ill, and she knew that the family was in danger but she was powerless, so she just took her hand and wept silently. She asked her aunt if she had anything to say to her, but she just shook her head and sighed. She didn't understand why her aunt refused to talk to her at that time, but now she did, because she was incompetent, and it was useless to talk to her, it only added to her troubles.

The Empress Dowager saw that Mingzhu's eyes were red, thinking that she was wronged because of her marriage to Yu Wenyou, and she didn't want to show people a joke, so she secretly pinched her hand: "It's good to be sensible, it's good to be sensible." Go and pay a birthday greeting to the concubine, and let someone bring you something delicious. ”

Empress Dowager Min on the side stretched out her hand to take Mingzhu, looked at her and said with a smile: "Seeing that the queen mother feels sorry for Mingzhu's sister...... I'm going to have hot eyes. Are you alright? ”

Empress Dowager Min is in her early thirties, she looks like a pretty young woman in her twenties, her voice is sweet, her smile is cheerful, her hands are soft and slippery, cold and cold, like a poisonous snake spiraling upwards, and the goosebumps all over Mingzhu's body are up, and she is almost about to shake off these hands. Suddenly remembering her methods, he held back and gave her a bright smile that was much more enthusiastic than before: "Thank you Queen Mother, Mingzhu is already a lot." Thank you for the medicine, otherwise I might not be able to get out of bed right now. ”

Empress Dowager Min was slightly surprised, as if she couldn't figure out how Mingzhu suddenly became sophisticated, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and said affectionately: "Are you polite to me?" Go and congratulate the concubine on her birthday, sit aside and play, you are recovering from a serious illness, and it is not good to hold on. ”

Mingzhu also moved to Concubine Min to salute, and said with a smile: "May Concubine Yaochi be immortal and live an increasingly auspicious life." Because he was grateful for Concubine Min's care in his previous life, he praised Concubine Min's dress and complexion.

Concubine Min smiled and said, "Okay, good." Then he asked Cui: "How did Madame raise such a good child?" It's not like our King of England, it's like a stuffy gourd. ”

Suddenly, I heard the palace man: "Several highnesses have come down." ”

Then the second prince Yu Wenyang took the lead, Yu Wenchu, Yu Wenyou, Yu Wenlong and several other princes followed, all came in to greet the Queen Mother of the two palaces first, and then gave Concubine Min a salute to congratulate her birthday, Concubine Min praised and thanked one by one, holding Mingzhu in one hand, and looked at Yuwenchu lovingly: "I am talking to Mrs. Fu about you, playing a child is a taciturn character, never know how to say a thoughtful and warm heart to me, it is better for Mingzhu to please me." ”

Yuwen Chu originally stood solemnly with his hands down and listened to Concubine Min's words, but when he heard the words, he raised his eyes and glanced at Mingzhu lightly. He is wearing a prince's costume today, and he looks particularly majestic and handsome, and he is tall and tall, and at this glance, he suddenly has a little more majesty. Mingzhu was afraid of him, and when he saw him looking at himself like this, he pretended not to see it, and looked away, but he didn't want to meet Yu Wenlong's gaze, Yu Wenlong took the opportunity to smile at her, and flew over, causing Mingzhu to be disgusted like eating a fly, and couldn't help but glance at him, and then lowered his eyes to stare at the tip of his shoes.

Concubine Min talked to her son for a while, and heard that other ladies from the house had come to congratulate her birthday, so she let go of Mingzhu's hand and said gently: "Go over there to play, just tell the palace people what you want, you are used to it, and you are familiar with the place, don't be wronged." ”

Mingzhu glanced at Cui's and walked down quietly when she saw Cui's permission.

The people who can come to the palace to celebrate their birthdays are not ordinary families, either clans or nobles, or the families of ministers above the third rank in the court, and even fewer young girls like her who have never been married, most of them are gathered in the corner and laughed in a low voice. Seeing Mingzhu coming over, they all stopped and looked at her quietly, although they didn't dare to provoke her, their expressions were also disdainful and gloating.

Mingzhu was impatient to wronged herself to please them, so she simply made a daily arrogant attitude, and walked past them with brisk steps, but heard someone shout softly and gently: "Sister Fu." ”

Mingzhu turned around and saw a petite and delicate figure, snow-skinned and graceful lady standing up from the crowd and greeting her warmly: "Come over here and sit." "It is Jiang Shanshan, the second daughter of the future Princess Jiang and the Marquis of Changxing.
