Mu Xuefu gasped, only to feel that even a thin layer of sweat hung on her back. The moment the tree moved, her scalp was numb, and her first reaction was to make a move. It's just that when she heard that familiar voice, she suddenly became clever and immediately withdrew her killing intent, and she was slightly relieved in her heart.

Thankfully, it's him.

She turned around stiffly, looked at the visitor, stroked her chest, and said in a somewhat complaining tone: "Lord Wang, do you want to scare me to death?" There is no sound when you walk, and people are scared to death. ”

Jing Rong smiled at the corner of her mouth, walked a few steps closer, and crossed her, only then did she see the person behind her clearly, her brows moved imperceptibly, and she arched her hand: "See Mrs. Ning Xin, I didn't know that Mrs. Ning was here, Weichen disturbed." ”

Tuoba Xin was also frightened by his sudden voice just now, and even her fingers trembled a little. She tugged at the corners of her mouth, "King Chen is exempt, this palace came here to sober up, I don't want to be so fateful, I actually met Princess Chen." ”

When this last sentence came out, there was a bit of explanation, Jing Rong's expression was slightly condensed, and he raised his head and circled around these two people.

Mu Xuefu's heart trembled, and she felt that Jing Rong's eyes seemed to see something, so she hurriedly walked to him, pointed to the starling in Tuoba Xin's hand, and said coquettishly: "Lord Wang, you see how beautiful the bird in Mrs. Ning Xin's hand is, you can buy me one to play with when you go back." ”

Jing Rong looked at the golden starling, it was really good-looking, nodded, and hugged her, "After coming out for so long, this king thought you were lost." ”

"It's lost, thanks to meeting Mrs. Ning Xin, otherwise the prince wouldn't have been able to find his concubine." Mu Xuefu leaned on his arms, looking like a little woman delicately. The charming and amorous eyes are gently hooked, which makes people's hearts ripple. She swept her eyes and didn't care, just playing with the bird in her hand, Tuoba Xin, and said coquettishly: "Lord Wang, after coming out for a long time, the concubine's body is cold, let's go back." ”

"Really lost? Why don't you ask Qingzhuo to follow? Jing Rong asked her in a low voice, although it was soft, but everyone could hear it, it was a tentative tone.

Mu Xuefu hurriedly said: "I thought I could do it myself, who knew that the palace was so big, I didn't know where to go when I walked." I thought of going back with Mrs. Ning Xin, but who would have thought that the prince would be so powerful that he would find me. He lowered his voice slightly, "Isn't it possible that you can find me wherever I go?" ”

Jing Rong smiled lightly, did not answer, and left with Mu Xuefu after saying goodbye to Mrs. Ning Xin. It's just that before leaving, he deliberately looked back at Mrs. Ning Xin, and his heart sank, it seems that last time it should have been Mrs. Ning Xin to deliver the news to Mu Xuefu. Could it be that this Mrs. Ning Xin is Jing Yu's spy by the emperor's side? But Mrs. Ning Xin is the princess of Dongxiao Kingdom, how can she do things for Jingyu?

With a stomach full of doubts, Jing Rong didn't say much, but inadvertently glanced at Jing Yu when he returned to the hall.

As soon as she returned to the table, the Queen Mother noticed Mu Xuefu, who was in good spirits today, so she has persisted until now.

"The daughter-in-law of the Arong family, come here, come to the emperor's grandmother." The queen showed a loving look and beckoned to Mu Xuefu.

Over the years, the Queen Mother has devoted herself to cultivating Buddhism, but her temperament is far less harmonious than before. I used to be willing to talk and laugh with the concubines in the palace, but since King Yu went, the smile on his face has become weaker and weaker. In the past few years, almost no one has seen her laugh, as if everything in this world can't make her laugh. Moreover, he became more and more cold and unclose to others. It's just that today he has a different eye on Mu Xuefu and has to attract attention.

With Jing Rong's acquiescence, Mu Xuefulian moved lightly, walked up the jade steps, came to the queen mother's side, and saluted: "See the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother Wan'an." ”

"Excuse me, come, sit beside the Imperial Grandmother." The Queen Mother took the initiative to reach out and pull Mu Xuefu to sit beside her, patted the back of her hand, and said, "Why haven't you come to the palace to visit the mourning family in the past few days?" ”

Mu Xuefu hurriedly smiled: "Something has happened in the mansion these days, so I can't leave for a while, so I didn't come to ask the imperial grandmother to say goodbye, hoping that the imperial grandmother will forgive her sins." ”

The Queen Mother patted her hand and stopped, and glanced at Princess Yu with a cold gaze before withdrawing it, "The mourning family has heard about it, it was that Concubine Li who poisoned my good daughter-in-law, right?" She snorted coldly, her eyes cold, "The mourning family doesn't believe that just a Li family can have such guts." ”

Mu Xuefu didn't expect the Queen Mother to come to this conclusion immediately, which coincided with the thoughts in her heart. She lowered her head, lowered her eyebrows and said, "The human and material evidence is there, and she admitted it herself." ”

The Queen Mother stared for a moment, the tightness at the center of her eyebrows slowly stretched, and when she spoke again, she had regained her amiable tone, "Good boy, it's really hard for you, you encountered this terrible thing in the first year of entering the mansion." She sighed, "This incident is a big blow to Jing Rong, he was already worried about his mother's concubine, and now that he found out that it was the Li family, it must be uncomfortable." Persuade him so that he doesn't always think about the past. ”

Mu Xuefu unconsciously looked at Jingrong, and her heart was quite uncomfortable. She was only angry with him that day, but she forgot what this incident hit him. Pity gradually rose in their eyes, they are people who have the same disease, they have lost their parents since childhood.

As if sensing her gaze, Jing Rong, who was chatting with someone, suddenly turned his head to look at her. Touching her gaze, which also looked at her, he smiled at her.

His smile is like the crystal clear hot spring, without a trace of impurities, which makes people feel warm, but also dazzling people's eyes, making people intoxicated and dizzy.

Mu Xuefu's heart warmed, and she smiled back, but she was dyed red with the spring light.

The Queen Mother looked at this, then at that, stroked her hands, showed a rare smile, and smiled at Mama Yu beside her: "Look at these two children, they are really affectionate and sweet, and their eyes are so lingering and affectionate, which really makes me envious of this old woman." ”

It's rare to see the Queen Mother so happy, Mama Yu thought about making her even happier, "Queen Mother, don't talk about others, aren't you the same with the first emperor when you were young?" I'm afraid it's too much. ”

The Queen Mother's expression was stretched and quite satisfactory, and even the corners of her eyes were smiling, and she joked with a smile: "The mourning family was not like them at that time, and this eyebrow is not like this, how is this described in that poem?" Oh, yes, Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent. ”

"Imperial Grandmother!" Mu Xuefu smiled shyly, leaned on the Queen Mother's shoulder, and snorted. The daughter's mood is full of emotion, her smile is like a flower, and the jade voice is tactful.

Emperor Xuanwu heard the laughter here, and couldn't help but turn his head to look, just when he saw this jade face and shy, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times before he said: "What did the queen mother say, so happy." ”

The smile on the queen mother's face was slightly restrained, and she didn't look at him, she patted Mu Xuefu on the back, but her attitude towards Emperor Xuanwu was kinder than before, "Say that Ah Rong and his daughter-in-law, honey blends oil, and love is inseparable." The emperor did a good job of choosing this family matter. ”

Although it is a pity to miss the beauty, it is rare to see that the queen mother is kind to herself, and she is no longer entangled. Emperor Xuanwu withdrew his gaze from Mu Xuefu and echoed: "King Chen and Princess Chen are in harmony with each other, and their sons and daughters are worthy of the emperor's brother's entrustment. ”

At the mention of King Yu, the Queen Mother groaned slightly, her eyes were stained with a layer of sadness, and she murmured: "If he is here, he will definitely be comforted to see Ah Rong grow up." ”

With a heavy sigh at the snort, Emperor Xuanwu said with a little sadness: "Brother Huang, he is a jealous talent." ”

"Don't mention it, don't mention it." The Queen Mother bowed her temperament, waved off the faint sorrow between her brows, smiled at Mu Xuefu, and said, "You have to hurry, the mourning family is waiting to hold your great-grandson." ”

Mu Xuefu bit her lower lip, her pink cheeks were like rouge, and she said shyly: "Grandmother Huang, don't make fun of Xuefu." ”

"What's the joke about you? The mourning family really wants to work hard. This little daughter's shy appearance like a lotus flower made the queen mother overlap the beautiful girl in her memory with Mu Xuefu in front of her, and she felt that her niece seemed to be alive. After shaking her eyes, the Queen Mother continued: "If Jingrong wrongs you, just sue the mourning family, and the mourning family will treat him for you." ”

Mu Xuefu smiled and raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, "The prince is very good to me, please rest assured that the imperial grandmother." “

When the Queen Mother heard this, she only felt suffocated, she looked at Mu Xuefu deeply, and saw another person in her appearance.

"If Mu Qiying bullies you, you just have to go into the palace and tell your aunt, and your aunt will treat him for you."

"He's been very good to me, please rest assured."

Such similar words, similar scenes, they said more than ten years ago. It was not long after Jiao Niang got married, and it seems to be the fifteenth day of the first month of that year.

"Imperial grandmother? Imperial grandmother? ”

A call pulled her back from her memories, she looked at Mu Xuefu's ignorant and puzzled gaze, and smiled, "Hello, the mourning family is also happy." After speaking, he took a jade phoenix inlaid with ruby from the bun and inserted it directly into Mu Xuefu's hair, "This step shake is still the mourning family just married to the emperor, the queen mother rewarded, the mourning family with this step, not long before the queen Yu Wang, today the mourning family will reward it to you, I hope you can open up for King Chen, pregnant with the son as soon as possible." ”

The ornaments of the phoenix are generally only worn by the queen and the queen mother, although the phoenix hairpin is not heavy, but it is worn on the head, but it is like a thousand catties. But this is the queen mother's reward, who dares to put a beak, Mu Xuefu smiled and thanked her, and sat beside the queen mother obediently to laugh with her.

In the middle of the night, everyone left one after another, and Emperor Xuanwu wanted to go to Mrs. Ningxin's palace to rest, but Mrs. Ningxin's body was different, and Mrs. Zhenhua was kind and charming, so he went to Mrs. Zhenhua.

Although Jing Rong was going to inspect the imperial city, he still sent Mu Xuefu back to the house before leaving.

Not long after Jing Rong left, a black shadow also quietly left the east courtyard and headed in the direction of the palace.

Dressed in a night gown, she walked through the palace, stretching out her hand and walking silently, floating like a ghost to Madame Zhenhua's bedchamber.
