The lines on the thumb touched the red place where the strings were broken, and Mu Xuefu looked indifferently at the back of Jingrong leaving. This time, he didn't nervous about her as usual, but just cared lightly, and left on the grounds that he still had official business.

Mu Xuefu picked up the broken string and snorted coldly, "The hatred of destroying the door is not shared, and one life can't be repaid!" ”

After a long time, she slowly put away the color in her eyes, and glanced sideways at Zi Yao, "I heard that the lotus flowers in the palace have bloomed, I haven't seen the lotus flowers in this February day, but I am a little curious, you can accompany me to enjoy it." ”

The turquoise of the pond is gently swaying and dancing in the spring breeze, the delicate lotus flowers are surrounded by green leaves like the stars and the moon, the jade dew on the lotus is crystal clear, like the green agate inlaid on the leaves, under the illumination of the sun, it is sparkling and dazzling.

Mu Xuefu stood by the pond, her lazy gaze caressing over the lotus flowers in the pond, but finally stopped on a half-opened lotus bone. has not bloomed yet, and has already added red and powder, if he is a day, it must be the crown of the lotus.

"Tell me what's new in the capital in the past few days." Spring is as deep as the sea, and even the wind blows on the face with warmth. Last year, Mu Xuefu had a swing next to the pond, and although it had passed a cold winter, the swing was still strong. Mu Xuefu sat on the swing and was shaken, and she was a little drowsy.

Zi Yao nudged the swing rack one by one, listened to her ask, thought about it, and said, "The people have been talking about nothing more than the eldest grandson of the Rui Wang family these days, but I also heard one thing. ”

Mu Xuefu kicked the peach blossoms that fell on the green grass next to her feet, and asked with interest, "Tell me what to say." ”

Zi Yao's smart eyes turned around, and he said with a smile: "I heard that King Huai's back house has not stopped for a few days, and Princess Huai and Concubine Qin have fought. said that Concubine Qin was talking about Princess Huai behind her back as a hen that did not lay eggs, and when she happened to say this, she was met by Princess Huai, and the two quarreled. Concubine Qin's side was sharp and sharp, and the words were beady, and Princess Huai had no power to resist, so Princess Huai started to do it. ”

Mu Xuefu listened strangely and said with a smile: "Although Qin Qing's words are ugly, what he says is indeed the truth. To say that this Princess Huai has been married to King Huai for several years, why haven't I seen any movement in her stomach? Mu Xuefu wrung her eyebrows and sighed, "Not only the princess, but also the other concubines in the palace." Look at King Ning, although he has no sons, he still has two daughters. Could it be that the feng shui of Huaiwangfu is not good, or is it something else? ”

Zi Yao thought about it for a while and said, "Xu is the princess will not let you, don't the royal family pay attention to the eldest son?" The princess is arrogant, how can she allow her concubine to be born before her concubine? ”

"Qin Qing was already haunted by the position of this concubine, but now that Princess Huai has neither a maiden family nor an heir, she naturally wants to replace her." Mu Xuefu touched the wisteria flowers on the swing rope, the purple flowers were soft and fragrant, with dark purple veins on the edges, and the hairs of the stamens were stained with deep dew, which shimmered in the sunlight. Mu Xuefu's fingertips hooked the drop of dew on the tip of her tongue, and there was a sweet taste. Thinking about Princess Huai's current situation, she felt a little pitiful, and said, "I'm just afraid that it won't be long before Princess Huai's position will be replaced." Princess Huai is not a treacherous person, but she is just proud of her talent and a little arrogant. If the position of the princess changes hands in the future, I am afraid that it will be no different from death for her. Pity her for her talent, and the person she marries is not a good person after all. ”

Zi Yao frowned, and the strength of the swing in his hand gradually decreased, "The master's analysis is extremely good, I heard that King Huai was angry when he knew about this, but instead he blamed Princess Huai heavily, but he only reprimanded Concubine Qin a few words. Moreover, because of this matter, the matter of feeding in the palace was changed from being handled by Princess Huai to being handled by Concubine Qin. ”

Mu Xuefu's heart moved, she thought that even if King Huai wanted to abolish Princess Huai, she would have to wait for a while, but even half of the power of the middle feed was taken away from Princess Huai and given to Qin Qing, it seems that King Huai wants to abolish Princess Huai should not be far away.

Mu Xuefu's eyes flashed, she looked at Zi Yao, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said: "King Huai has been circling between two women all day long, I don't know if I will think of Zhong Birou in my spare time. You say, if one day King Huai and Princess Ning secretly communicate with each other, will these two mansions be more lively? ”

Zi Yao raised her eyebrows, her eyes lit up, "What does the master mean?"

"I don't mean anything, it's just a dream." Mu Xuefu glanced at Zi Yao, and her deep smile was like a poppy blooming in the middle of the night, "I'm just putting myself in King Huai's shoes, if I were him, I should need an empathetic woman at this time." I heard that Zhong Birou not only looks good, but also interprets gently. Alas, what a good pair of beautiful people, but God made people and broke them up. ”

Zi Yao pursed her lips and almost laughed. Providence? It's obviously arranged by the master, but he still complains here. Looking at the master who slowly closed her eyes, she began to slowly push the swing again.

It was a long afternoon, but it was a short time for Muschelf, who had never slept so comfortably in the afternoon. The warm spring breeze and warm sunlight are mixed with the fragrance of lotus flowers and the fragrance of grass. The peach blossoms fluttered in the wind and fell on her face, gently caressing her cheeks like her mother's hand when she was a child. Everything around her weaves a peaceful and serene dream for her.

At dusk, Mu Xuefu woke up faintly, looking at the red sunset and the golden sunset on the horizon, but she was silent until the sun set, and then reluctantly retracted her gaze.

"I didn't expect to sleep for an afternoon when I said it was a flower viewing, the sun is so good, and the people who shine are warm. No wonder people say that begonias sleep in spring, today I also learned Yang Guifei once. Mu Xuefu got off the swing, put the cloak covering her body, glanced at her at random, looked at her clothes and stopped talking, and said: "You have always been the most straightforward and refreshing, why do you have a twisted expression today, and you can say anything directly." I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw this appearance of wanting to speak and stopping. ”

Zi Yao was still hesitant to tell the master before, but when she heard the master say this, she was also happy, and said: "It was Hong Shao who just came over and said that the prince had just gone to Concubine Ming's Wanqing Pavilion for dinner, and the previous rule in this mansion was that the prince would spend the night where he ate, so I wondered if the prince would rest at Concubine Ming's place tonight?" ”

In the end, Zi Yao's voice became deeper and lower, so low that it was difficult to hear, but her eyes were always fixed on Mu Xuefu, not missing any expression on her face.

Sure enough, hearing Zi Yao say this, Mu Xuefu's face changed instantly, and there was a faint accumulation of anger between her eyebrows.

Mu Xuefu clenched her fists fiercely, and her chest seemed to be blocked by a big stone, blocking her breathlessly.

This Jingrong always said that she would be alone, and turned her face and went to another woman.

Mu Xuefu gasped heavily, calming the anger in her chest, and her eyes hurried over the lotus pond casually, just in time to see the budding lotus bone. raised his eyebrows, pointed to the flower, and ordered: "Find someone to cut that flower, put it in water and send it to Concubine Ming, just say that this princess thinks of her when she looks at this budding lotus, and hopes that she will bloom as soon as possible like this lotus." I also hope that she can seize the opportunity to serve the prince well and spread the branches for the palace. ”

Zi Yao stomped her feet and said angrily: "Master, if you don't pull the prince back, why do you still let people spread these words?" ”

"What am I pulling him for? The wives and concubines in this house are all his women, and he can go wherever he wants, and no one can control him. Mu Xuefu put on her cloak and walked back, the sun was setting, and without that layer of warm sun, it was indeed a lot colder.

On the willow tops of the moon, a round of silver plates hung in the dark night sky, and the jade light poured out, sprinkling the stars into a room.

The light and moon seemed to shine through the overlapping and sinuous curtains on the bed.

In a daze, she only felt that there was a dark shadow in front of her, Mu Xuefu quickly opened her eyes, and when she saw people clearly, she took a long "whirl". She sat up directly, glanced at the visitor, and said angrily: "What are you doing here when you don't come to Wanqing Pavilion so late?" ”

Jing Rong sighed softly, sat on the edge of the bed, took her hand, and called, "Xuefu." ”

Mu Xuefu remembered that this hand had just touched another woman, and she felt nauseous in her heart, and quickly pulled it out, with a somewhat annoyed tone, and said: "I'm afraid that Concubine Ming has been looking forward to it for a long time, why did the prince run to the concubine when he wasn't there to accompany her?" Is the prince used to living in this bed, so he is a little unaccustomed to changing the bed for a while? But this is not a big deal, if the prince likes it, what if the concubine lets this bed out? ”

"Why are you angry about this" Jing Rong looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to find the answer from her eyes.

Mu Xuefu snorted coldly, glanced at him disdainfully, and said with a smile: "When did the concubine get angry?" When the prince said this, the concubine was a little confused. ”

Jing Rong was a little annoyed, and dragged her past, wanting to get angry but kept calming the anger in his heart. But looking at Mu Xuefu's annoyed appearance, in the end he could only sigh helplessly, "This king didn't want to spend the night at Ming's place, this king said that you are the only one in this life, and if you can say it, this king will never break his word." ”

Mu Xuefu's anger in her heart disappeared a little, but she was still uncomfortable, she turned her body and turned her back to him, "I don't believe what you said, you went to eat at Ming Bangxin's place tonight, go to eat today, who knows if you will stay overnight tomorrow?" Jingrong, let me tell you, if you want other women to tell me as soon as possible, I will give up the place of this princess to make room for her. ”
