Chapter 13: The Queen of Summer
Mu Yan didn't know what Shen Li's intentions were, the only thing she knew now was that as soon as the position of the concubine was confirmed, she wouldn't have to think about it in the future.
"Miss, wear this, this one looks good!"
Hongluan opened the wardrobe and carefully selected one by one, with a look of excitement on her little face. She heard everything outside the courtyard yesterday! Originally, she was worried that the prince would treat his young lady like this, and most of them had no hope. Who would have thought that the world would be unpredictable, and the prince would actually give the young lady the title of concubine!
Mu Yan sat in front of the dresser and frowned, she knew what the little girl was happy about, with her simple-minded appearance, she probably didn't expect how difficult the days would be. Although she has the identity of the Mu family as a backer, after all, her grandfather is gone, and no one can help her. Therefore, in this palace compound, you should think of a stable and smooth life. The only way to hide your edge is to let others treat you as transparent.
Ay......
couldn't help but sigh lightly, Mu Yan didn't want to discourage the little girl's enthusiasm for life, so she picked out a piece of clothing casually and asked her to come over and dress up for herself.
Thinking that he was going to enter the palace with Shen Li later, Mu Yan blinked his bright eyes and said lightly: "Hongluan, the third prince and his parents...... Uh, no, I'm trying to ask, what kind of person is His Majesty today, and what kind of person is the mother of the Third Prince? Do you know?"
"Miss, don't you know?"
Hongluan subconsciously spoke, and as soon as the words came out, he suddenly remembered the situation of his young lady's "selective amnesia", so he nodded as if he understood, and said patiently: "Your Majesty is very good, and he has always been very good to you, and he hugged you when Miss was a child." It is said that he is a very dignified person above the court, and I have never seen the specific situation. But in private, he is very amiable and often smiles. The mother of the third prince died very early and was raised by the queen of Xia. Miss Xiahou, haven't you forgotten? It is the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, the current queen of the country. ”
"Seventh Prince?"
Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, he never expected that Shen Yan's kid was actually born to the current queen.
"Yes! Otherwise, how could the Seventh Prince be so good with the Third Prince! I used to enter the palace with the young lady, and I often heard many palace maids in the palace say that the Seventh Prince would make trouble when he was a child, and the Queen of Xia and His Majesty couldn't help it. Only as soon as the third prince appeared, the seventh prince immediately became obedient! So later, when the mother of the third prince died, it was natural for him to be raised by the queen of Xia. ”
"Summer Queen...... Just one child of the Seventh Prince, right?"
As soon as his curiosity came up, Mu Yan didn't care if asking too much would cause suspicion, so he simply asked all of them. Fortunately, the Hongluan girl was careless and didn't care, so she answered naturally when she asked.
"Well, it's just such a child as the Seventh Prince. However, the summer queen is kind-hearted and regards the three princes as a few. Ay...... In fact, at the beginning, many people misunderstood, saying that the summer queen was eccentric and let her children play and never care, but she was particularly strict with the third prince. It wasn't until His Majesty's birthday later that several princes sent gifts to congratulate him. As soon as His Majesty was happy, he casually asked questions to test a few princes. At that time, the princes were so old, and their minds were all focused on playing, and no one liked to read at all. At this time, Empress Xia suddenly spoke, and she asked the third prince to answer. The officials present only wanted to embarrass the summer queen, who would have thought that the third prince would really answer with his head down. And the Seventh Prince clapped his little hands proudly beside him, as if to tell everyone, look at how great my brother is!"
"Oh, according to that, after Xia, this is the intention to cultivate the third prince?"
Since then, no one has said the right and wrong of the summer queen. The third prince also made His Majesty look at him with admiration because of this incident. The third prince also has the ability, so until now, he has also become the hottest candidate for the position of the crown prince! Hehe, speaking of which, the third prince is really going to be the prince, then you are the crown princess!"
Mu Yan didn't pay attention to Hongluan's ridicule, she was only thinking, what kind of mother would give up her own children and raise other people's children? But Shen Yan's kid is very clever, why was he given up?
This doubt was finally answered until Mu Yan followed Shen Li into the palace to see Queen Xia.
Although she got a lot of information from Hongluan, she never expected that Hongluan would forget to tell her the most important point. The mother of the country of Daming is actually a person with disabled legs!
"Come, come to me. ”
Xia Yin smiled and called Mu Yan, even if Mu Yan concealed it well, it also made her sense the flash of shock in the other party's eyes. She smiled quietly, took Mu Yan's hand and asked her to sit beside her, and then glanced at Shen Li who was standing there.
"Okay, I'm going to talk to Yan'er in a whisper, do you think you're going to play chess with your father?"
As the name suggests, the voice of the Xia Hou is very good. Like a dingdong spring, every word beats the heart. Mu Yan couldn't help but remember that when Hongluan mentioned her before, she had an expression of envy and adoration on her face. She said that the Queen of Summer was the princess of the Night Kingdom, and because of her voice like heaven and her singing voice, she was famous all over the world at a very young age. Later, His Majesty heard about it and went to visit the Night Kingdom in person, and then he was deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself, so he asked for a kiss to marry her back to the Ming Kingdom, which made a good story.
Mu Yan still didn't believe it when she heard it, but now that she thinks about it, she is narrow-minded. This summer queen not only has a beautiful voice, but also a beautiful appearance.
Shen Li smiled lightly when he heard this, and he could see from Mu Yan in his soft gaze that this Xia Hou must be very important to him.
"Okay~ I won't bother you, you talk slowly. ”
After saying this, Shen Li left with interest. After Xia Hou saw him leave, she turned her head and patted the back of Mu Yan's hand. Because he lowered his head slightly, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. She didn't speak, and Mu Yan didn't know what to say. Just when the atmosphere was awkward, I heard the sound of the sky sound again.
"Do you regret it?"
“...... Huh?"
Mu Yan was puzzled and looked at her suspiciously. Xia Hou raised her head, still with a faint smile on her face.
"I'm asking, you are obsessed with marrying Shen Li. Now, do you regret it?"
Mu Yan didn't know why she asked this, but as far as she was concerned, she didn't regret it? If she had passed through earlier, she wouldn't have chosen Shen Li's pervert. It's a pity that everything is a foregone conclusion, and now she has a clear position, she is not stupid, even if she doesn't know what this summer queen is selling, she also knows what to say and what not to say.
"No regrets! Since it is the path I chose, I will not regret it!"
