When the egret and Hongluan on the side heard this, their faces changed, and Mu Wan was also a little surprised: "What? Do you want to serve the Lord? ”

Aunt Liu saw that a few people were thinking about it, so she hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand: "No, no, no, Mrs. misunderstood, the concubine didn't mean that." The concubines are twenty-nine years old, this kind of thought is long gone, and now I just want to take good care of Yu'er and Yue'er, hoping that they will have a good home. ”

Seeing Mu Wan looking at herself suspiciously, Aunt Liu didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly explained, "The concubine doesn't want to say the master, the master is not a heavy person, he will definitely not take the initiative to take a concubine." But if someone asks him to take a concubine, this may be the case, so the concubine wants to remind Madame to be careful over there—" Aunt Liu said, pointing to the Momei Courtyard, which was the old lady's residence. "Of course, Madame may not care about this, the concubine is just worrying about it in vain."

Mu Wan is not ignorant, and understands that an unfavored concubine dares to say this to the main mother, indicating that she is sincerely thinking about the main mother, no matter what the reason behind this sincerity is: "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention." ”

Seeing that Mrs. understood what she meant, Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief, she can have such a peaceful and beautiful life now all thanks to Mrs., of course, I hope that Mrs. is good, but I don't want to have other changes.

From this day on, Mu Wan took her two stepdaughters to learn housekeeping, first from reading the account books, and then teaching them to distinguish people, and then to the world, and behave in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a pour-out, even if she hears someone saying that Mu Wan is too kind, or even that Mu Wan is stupid, she laughs it off. The two children and Aunt Liu are also obviously getting closer and closer to Mu Wan, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue are also competing, both of them have their own strengths, Xiao Yu is obviously better at recognizing people and understanding people's feelings, and Xiao Yue is more interested in managing accounts and auditing.

The old lady and Xiao Wenyu saw the changes in the two young ladies, and they also appreciated and valued Mu Wan more and more. The old lady thought that Mu Wan would ignore the two stepdaughters after she became pregnant, and said to Xiao Wenyu with joy: "She is worthy of being a noble girl from the Bofu, and she has nothing to say about this upbringing." Fortunately, she was dismissed twice, otherwise, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if her family falls, it will not be our family's turn. ”

Xiao Wenyu didn't say much, but he was very satisfied with Mu Wan's dignified atmosphere and long-term vision, knowing that Mu Wan valued her mother's family, and planned to find colleagues to find a collection of scientific examination questions from previous years, and send it to his wife and brother Mu Qing when the time came, and then go to Guozijian to go shopping, and support his wife and brother, lest someone see that his family is declining and squeezing him out.

Only Hongluan and Egret vaguely guessed something, but they didn't ask, just strictly followed Madame's instructions.

In the cold winter, Mu Wan, who was pregnant with June, reluctantly put on the Sanpin Command Suit, held up her obviously bulging belly, and went to the palace with Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Wenyu to attend the New Year's banquet.

Since the beginning of winter, all the banquets that Mu Wan can push have been postponed. Only when the weather is good, take the two young ladies to show their faces, from Mu Wan married to the Xiao family to learn etiquette, and then entered the hall, and finally learned to behave in the world, nearly a year, the two have undergone a transformation, Xiao Yu's temperament is dusty, elegant and gentle and smart, Xiao Yue is lively and cute but polite and knows how to measure.

After a few times, the whole Kyoto not only knew that the two concubines had become concubines, but also knew that they were cultivated by Mu Wan as their own daughters, and the two of them were still studying in the Gufuzi School, and their performance was getting better and better. The identity suddenly rose, and there were more and more wives who came to hint at the relationship between the two, from low-grade sons-in-law to sister-in-law of the same level, from high-grade son-in-law to high-grade son-in-law. Mu Wan politely refused, saying that the eldest was still young, and he would train for a few more years, so why should he look at his relatives after the age of twelve.

Today's New Year's banquet is Mu Wan's second time in the palace, and the last time was at the queen's Qianqiu banquet. Mu Wan, who entered the palace for the first time, has a deep experience: five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, the corridor waist is manback, and the eaves are pecked. Beauty is beautiful, tired is really tired, especially Mu Wan, who is more and more lazy after showing her pregnancy. And although the food in the palace is delicious, it will be cold after not eating two bites.

Mu Wan and the old lady sat in the carriage, and Xiao Wenyu rode in front.

"Wan'er! Today's palace banquet is long, if you are tired, tell me, I will go to the queen's mother, don't hold on! ”

Mu Wan nodded: "Thank you mother-in-law for reminding me, my daughter-in-law will pay attention." "That's what she said, but Mu Wan also knew that this kind of banquet couldn't be absent casually, otherwise Xiao Wenyu would have pushed it for her a long time ago. It's just that Mu Wan is always a little unsteady in her heart.

The carriage stopped at the palace, and Mu Wan slowly got out of the carriage with the support of Hongluan. Looking at the phoenix spreading its wings on the eaves carved from sandalwood, the floating windows carved from green tiles, the jade wall panels, a huge square at the end of a straight road slowly sinking with the jade steps, and a straight pillar carved with lifelike dragon patterns on the huge altar in the center, far away from the phoenix on the palace. At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a black golden silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances inscribed with three big characters "Imperial Palace".

Even if she had already been here once, Mu Wan couldn't help but sigh that it was beautiful and majestic.

However, seeing the busy palace maids in the palace, Mu Wan still shook her head: It seems that this star is not last night, for whom is the wind and the night open. Lingering thoughts and pulling out the cocoon, like a sad heart peeling banana. In March and May of three or five years, the poor glass of wine never went away. Mu Wan could only rejoice that the object of her crossing was the official lady, not the person in the court. Otherwise, what is the joy of living in high tension every day?

The palace maid in front was leading the way, Mu Wan, Xiao Wenyu and the old lady were following behind, about touching a cup of tea, and several people came to the gate of the Qianqing Palace. I saw that the cloud top sandalwood in the palace was the beam, the crystal jade was the lamp, the pearl was the curtain, and the fan gold was the pillar base.

The main hall is decorated with inverted bell-like flowers, the calyxes are white, the bone china is translucent, and the top of the petals is a circle of different shades of lilac, which seems to be dyed naturally.

"Old Madam Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, what a coincidence! You're here too? ”

A slightly wealthy lady in the front right who was dressed in a second-grade command dress turned her head, interrupted Mu Wan's thoughts, and looked at it fixedly, it was Zhang Li, the wife of the Ministry of Industry.

"Hello Mrs. Zhang." Mu Wan looked at Xiao Wenyu, who immediately understood, said "unaccompanied" and walked to the left front.

Zhang Li is in his thirties, his mother's family has a relationship with Xiao Wenyu's deceased grandmother, and he also has contacts during the New Year's holidays, and Xiao Wenyu is the same generation: "Mrs. Xiao hasn't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

Mrs. Xiao took over: "I'm worried, I've been eating and sleeping well recently, and my spirit is getting better and better, I'm waiting to hold my grandson now!" ”

Zhang Li also turned to Mu Wan: "Mrs. Xiao still has five or six months left in this body!" I see that this belly is pointy, it must be a big fat boy, the old lady is waiting to hug the white and chubby grandson! ”

Although Mu Wan doesn't like everyone to stare at this baby is a boy, what if it's a girl? But he didn't want to argue with the other party about this issue, so he smiled politely: "Then borrow Mrs. Zhang's auspicious words!" ”

The three of them chatted casually, and when they arrived at the seat, the three of them separated, and the old lady Xiao was led by the palace maid to a table full of old ladies and sat down, and Mu Wan sat down across the table.

Mu Wan saw Madame Mu sitting at another table from a distance, and nodded to Madame Mu from afar. Then he nodded to the ladies in his seat and said hello before taking his seat. In the palace, the most taboo thing is to walk around.
