In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and because the banquet was set in the evening, there was no need to enter the palace so early. Mu Xuefu sat leisurely by the window pruning a pot of hibiscus flowers, the petals are delicate and bright, as bright as lotus, like a beautiful woman drunk, red and shy, with infinite shyness.

A pair of jade hands held scissors through the lush leaves, and with a "click", she cut off the branches and leaves that blocked the stretching of the hibiscus flowers. The green leaves are just a foil for the safflower, and if they steal the limelight, they can only give up painfully.

"You said the rumors about me a few days ago have gone sour?" Mu Xuefu pruned another branch and paused, "I'm afraid it's the reason for that day." This prince Chen is really unprofitable and can't afford to be early, no wonder he is so kind, he took me back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and accompanied me to go shopping, it turned out to be the idea. Now it's good, he's famous, and I'm a rumor-monger. ”

"But no, now it is rumored in the imperial city that the princess has to try to see if the prince is a heavy person because of her outstanding appearance, and I don't want the prince to marry the master even though he is seriously ill. Everyone is praising the prince for being kind and virtuous, and even the rumored ugly and evil princess dares to marry. But because of this, King Chen withstood the test of the princess, which made the princess fall in love at first sight and achieved a good marriage. ”

"Master, it's not too early, it's time for you to put on your clothes, I'm afraid the prince will come over in a while." Bai Yi looked at the sky, glanced at her attentive appearance again, and reminded.

These days, Jing Rong will come to sit and sit when he has nothing to do, sometimes let Mu Xuefu play a song, and sometimes he will play chess with her, but every time he will let her without a trace. Yesterday he confronted her here for an afternoon, and when he left, he made a point of picking her up today.

Jin Lu brought a few newly made clothes and asked, "Which one does the princess want to wear?" ”

Mu Xuefu glanced at it, pointed to a light pink dress and said, "This one, it is neither outstanding nor plain, so people can't find fault with it." ”

A pink wide-sleeved group of clothes, layer by layer, like a budding water hibiscus, sets off her more delicate. As soon as the bun was curled here, Jing Rong stepped forward. Looking at Bai Yi, who was inserting hairpins for her, she raised her hand, inserted the carved jasper hairpin into Mu Xuefu's bun, buckled her shoulders and bent down to face her in the mirror, and said, "It's already beautiful." ”

Mu Xuefu automatically ignored the hand on her shoulder, picked up the begonia dripping jade pendant on the table and put it on her earlobe, "Women will always feel that they are not beautiful enough, and neither do concubines." ”

"You call this unsatisfied." Jing Rong stood up and took her hand, and looked at her overall outfit again, "Skin is better than snow, hibiscus and jade face, no wonder your name is Xue Fu." If such a good name is given to someone else, it is really a waste. ”

"Oh? According to the words of the prince, the name of the prince should not be called Jingrong, but should be called Jingrong. Mu Xuefu smiled, "Shocking appearance, I don't know how many women's hearts have been lost." ”

Jing Rong put his arm around her shoulders, wrapped her around her, and whispered, "This king just wants to lose Fu'er's heart." ”

Mu Xuefu looked at him sideways and said, "Then the prince has to work hard." ”

The two of them talked and laughed along the way, and slowly lost a few points after walking through the hanging flower gate. When she arrived at the gate, Mu Xuefu realized that it was not only the two of them, but also two women who were going to enter the palace together. One is Hua Meier, and the other she hasn't seen before, thinking about it, it should be Jingrong's other side concubine - Ming Bangxin.

Hua Meier was dressed in a water-red dress, wrapping her waist tightly, highlighting the fullness of her breasts. The Ming Bang Xin is a ninety percent new lotus lotus color autumn coat, although it is not bright, but it is more gentle and elegant. Compared with the former, Mu Xuefu felt that she was dressed like a side concubine, while Hua Meier was like a concubine.

When the two of them saw the princess and princess coming, they all saluted and greeted, "Lord and princess are blessed and safe." ”

This is the first time Ming Bangxin has seen Mu Xuefu, and he only listens to the maids around him say how beautiful the princess is, but he has never seen it. It's just that the etiquette of going to greet the concubine every day was waived by this new princess, so I haven't had the chance to see it. When I saw it today, this princess was ten times more beautiful than the maid described. No wonder everyone says that the prince and princess are harmonious, sweet and loving. But why didn't the prince stay at the princess's place, nor did he move to live in the main courtyard?

"Get up." While she was meditating, Jing Rong raised her hand and asked them to get up, "You sit in the carriage at the back, and this king and the princess sit in the same car." When you get to the palace, you can't make trouble, you know? The last sentence was obviously for Hua Meier.

"Yes." Although Hua Meier was unwilling, she didn't dare to contradict Jingrong, and besides, she had just lifted the grounding, so she naturally didn't dare to make a mistake. She looked at Mu Xuefu's back viciously, and said secretly: Don't be complacent, wait until you get to the palace to see how I clean you up. She relied on Concubine Zhen to win favor in the palace, although she was a side concubine, but her arrogant posture was not inferior to the concubines of other palaces. Swept his eyes disdainfully, and took the lead in getting into the carriage.

It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive at the entrance of the palace. Seeing that it was the carriage of King Chen's mansion, the eunuch guarding the palace gate hurriedly ran over and knelt on the ground and waited for King Chen to get out of the car and step on it.

Jing Rong got out of the carriage first, and when Mu Xuefu was about to step on the eunuch's shoulder, he hugged it with one hand. For some reason, he just didn't want to see her run into another man, even if that person was a eunuch.

From the moment they entered the palace, there were endless voices of amazement, and the prince and prince, who were accustomed to seeing all kinds of beauties in Beijing, also looked at Mu Xuefu in a daze. The hall suddenly fell silent, for fear that a trace of sound would scare the fairy in front of him away. They were all hooked by Mu Xuefu's smile, and even the king of Chen, whose face was extremely cold beside her, couldn't see it.

After seeing the ceremony, Mu Xuefu sat beside him with Jing Rong, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, but secretly looked at everyone at the palace banquet.

At this time, Emperor Xuanwu had not yet come, sitting on the jade only the woman on the side of the dragon chair, beautiful appearance, dignified manners, looking like forty people, wearing a red gold and silver silk Luan bird golden phoenix embroidered palace dress, combing a cumbersome and noble Lingyun high mustache on her head, wearing a golden hairpin and silk nine-tailed phoenix crown, a grand outfit to show her grace and luxury. You don't have to guess to know that this is the queen of Emperor Xuanwu.

There is also an imperial concubine on the right side of the dragon chair, but this position is not as close to the dragon chair as the queen's position, this person should be the mother of King Rui, the imperial concubine.

And sitting under the queen is a young and gorgeous woman, looking at that arrogant appearance, she should be a very favored concubine. The rest of the concubines also sat on both sides, headed by the queen and the imperial concubine.
