Chapter 209: Ambiguous Candlelight

At night, Mu Xuemian was wearing the clothes of the subordinates she took from Qiaoxi,

Sneakily slipped out of Zhenglong Garden with a hooded face.

Earlier, she deliberately asked Qiaoxi to go to the front yard to explore the way, and vaguely made some judgments about the location of the west wing.

Walk through the garden to the Qinyu Pavilion, there is a path in the side courtyard of the Qinyu Pavilion, which can lead directly to the West Wing.

I thought she set off ahead of schedule and found the path in Qiaoxi's mouth,

Tonight's appointment is foolproof, but who would have thought that she had just turned to the rockery,

was caught by the housekeeper who patrolled the night.

"Which maid in the garden, the third watch dares to wander outside in the middle of the night,

Aren't you thinking about stealing something? ”

Mu Xuemian was taken aback by the voice behind her,

In his heart, he was a thief and his heart was weak, and he reflexively ran towards the road where he came.

"Stop! Catch me! ”

When the housekeeper saw that the maid was scurrying like a panicked bird, he must have done something dirty for fear of being punished.

"Butler, someone caught ....."

Mu Xuemian hadn't run a few steps before he was caught back by the subordinates in embarrassment.

"Which garden?"

“.....”

Is it deaf or dumb?

"Zheng.... Zhenglong Garden..."

Mu Xuemian pinched her throat.

"Zhenglong Garden? Are you fooling me? ”

The housekeeper poked her shoulder hard and scolded: "This is 108,000 miles away from Zhenglong Garden,

If I don't light a lantern, I'm afraid I'm going to get lost, and you dare to lie to me? ”

"I... I'm really the maid of Zhenglong Garden...."

"Then raise your head and let me admit it!"

The butler went to pull her veil as he spoke,

Mu Xuemian is pampered on weekdays, where has she been so rude by a minion,

Seeing the butler's paws stretched straight towards her face, he was accustomed to slapping her.

"Hey, hey! You... How daring! ”

The housekeeper was dazed by her sudden slap,

I can't wait to turn around again to stabilize my body.

"Catch me, I can't clean you up today!"

The housekeeper rolled up his sleeves and pounced on Mu Xuemian,

The dispute alarmed the maid of Qin Yu Pavilion to come out to visit.

"Steward Wei, what's the noise about the three watches in the middle of the night?"

Fluff watched the group of people gather around the side courtyard as if they were fighting.

"It's okay! Find a thief, I'm about to fix her right now. ”

Steward Wei was still torn apart with Mu Xuemian.

"Stop, stop, if you want to fix it, take it back and repair it,

Why is there such a noise and disturbs the princess's rest? ”

Fu Rong looked at Steward Wei's louder and louder, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"I'm going to see your face today!"

Steward Wei, who knew that he was angry, didn't hear Fufu's words at all,

Single-mindedly dealing with the masked maid in front of him.

Mu Xuemian is a weak woman, where can she compare to the strength of Steward Wei,

was finally torn off the veil in a fight, which stunned everyone.

"Big... The princess? ”

Fleur's eyes widened in surprise.

"Uh-huh....."

Mu Xuemian saw that her identity had been exposed, and she no longer dodged.

I just kept thinking about how to deal with the aftermath in my head.

"Minions.... The slave doesn't know that it is the princess, and the slave is guilty. ”

Here, Steward Wei also saw the other party's face clearly, and his legs were weak in fright.

Who would have thought that the person in front of him was not good, but it was this famous princess.

Qin Yuge, the princess looked at Steward Wei kneeling on the ground in front of her, and there was a clear slap mark on his face,

looked at Mu Xuemian who was standing aside expressionlessly.

"Go down first....."

The princess couldn't help but yawn.

"Yes."

The subordinates retreated one after another, and then she walked to her daughter-in-law's side.

"Xue Mian, in the middle of the night, what are you doing with your subordinate clothes?"

"Daughter-in-law... The daughter-in-law just came out to explore the truth. ”

Mu Xuemian replied in a low voice.

"Oh? Exploring the real and the virtual? What is the truth and the truth? ”

The princess questioned.

"The daughter-in-law heard that the eldest prince returned home later, but he didn't return for a long time.

It turned out that the girl who brought back the art workshop in the side courtyard wing room has been nostalgic for the flowers.

The daughter-in-law didn't know where it was, so she wanted to look everywhere. ”

"Ridiculous, where did you hear this rumor?"

The princess asked, frowning.

"Mother, this kind of gossip has not reached the ears of my daughter-in-law once or twice,

Although the eldest prince is his daughter-in-law, he is also the prince of the dynasty, and it is understandable that there are more female dependents around him.

The daughter-in-law will never be a resentful woman, and she can't tolerate the son of the world to take a concubine, besides, isn't that virtuous man also good now?

The mother wanted to know if her daughter-in-law was embarrassed by her, so she went to Zhenglong Garden and asked. ”

"I'm not blaming you for being too strict, but you don't have to take such groundless words seriously."

"Don't take it seriously? The singer of Fengxulou, who was driven out of the house by her mother a few days ago, is not here for the eldest son? ”

When the princess heard this, she didn't know how to reply to her for a while.

"The daughter-in-law was indeed negligent to the son before, but now the daughter-in-law just wants to live a good life with the son.

I want to be his virtuous helper, but the son of the world is cold to me, mother,

I am the wife he married in a dignified manner, but he didn't even look at his daughter-in-law.

is only fascinated by those women who are performing and singing, not to mention the rumors in this house,

The daughter-in-law is afraid that if she returns to the Mu Mansion, it will also bring shame to the Mu family....."

"I understand, I will persuade Tae-yu well,

In fact, when I married the prince earlier, the prince treated me the same. ”

The princess had obviously listened to her words, and actually comforted her with all her heart.

"A woman like us who was born rich and noble, but married to a powerful woman,

What I have done the most in this life is to turn a blind eye,

In the canons of the imperial power and aristocracy, there is no truth at all.

Xue Mian, you are still young, and many things are slowly understood,

I've called those people to shut up, and no one will know about your midnight outing.

You can go back with peace of mind, here in Tai Xian, I will give you an explanation. ”

"Well... Thank you, Princess. ”

It has been three watches since she came out of Qinyu Pavilion, and she didn't dare to go to the West Chamber again, if she was seen by the people again,

That's the earth-shattering wave.

Fortunately, she heard Qiaoxi inquire before, and the eldest prince often hides Jiaojiao in the side courtyard wing, the golden house,

At that time, she just sneered, glad that the more flowers Zhan Taixian played, the more comfortable she became.

Unexpectedly, after tonight's trouble, it happened to be used by her as a shield.

Back in Zhenglong Garden, she changed her clothes and lay down on the bed, just closing her eyes, but heard a gentle knock behind the screen.

"Who? Who's there? ”

She sat up from the couch with a frightened spirit.

Through the wake-up lantern left at the bedside, she could see the person coming out from behind the screen.

"II.... The second son...."

I saw Zhan Xiuxian standing in front of the screen, and he didn't speak, just staring at her tightly with a pair of eagle eyes.

"Why are you here?"

"Why didn't you go to the West Chamber?"

He asked.

"I.... I...."

"What are you?"

"I didn't want to go."

She tugged at the quilt, her back stiffening into a line.

"I saw you being caught by Steward Wei."

Zhan Xiuxian suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth.

"You saw it and asked me what to do?"

She was a little annoyed and blushed.

"I was worried that something was wrong with you, so I followed."

"I'm fine, you can go."

She bowed her head shyly.

"Then don't you ask me if I'm okay?"

Zhan Xiuxian walked to the bed, and the dark blue on his handsome face was very conspicuous.

"Why did you fight with the Great Prince?"

She then looked at the wound on his face by candlelight.

"Because he speaks disrespectfully to you....."

Zhan Xiuxian sat beside her, and a familiar scent of begonias came to her nose,

She remembered that she had given him a sachet containing begonias.

"Is it .....?"

"What are you thinking?"

He suddenly lowered his head.

"You say, the eldest prince is disrespectful to me?"

She dodged slightly.

In this warm night, with the ambiguous candlelight, if she didn't think anything in her heart,

But it's also a lie.

"We met in the garden, and behold, there was a woman beside him.

I asked a few words, but I didn't expect him to laugh at you, I couldn't bear it for a while,

Quarrel with him. ”

"Then since he hit you, why didn't you fight back?"

"I'm afraid that if I fight back, he will pour his anger on you, you just married the king, and your situation is not yet stable,

The princess and the eldest brother do not trust you, and if you continue to disagree with the eldest brother, they will definitely find a way to deal with you. ”

"Not good for me?"

Mu Xuemian didn't understand.
