On the day of the post, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu went to the Wei Palace.

Back then, Empress Wei and Princess Anle poisoned Zhongzong, in a vain attempt to usurp the throne, but fortunately, today's sage found out that the situation was different in time, and led people to blockade the palace, killed Empress Wei and Princess Anle, and supported the first emperor Ruizong, that is, the younger brother of Zhongzong and the father of the saint, to ascend the throne. At that time, Wei Wangshang was just a little-known little gentleman in the royal family, and just because he had a good relationship with the saint, he also participated in this incident and contributed a lot of illness. During his six-year reign, Ruizong relinquished the throne to today's saints. The sage ascended the throne as the emperor and rewarded the courtiers who contributed to this matter, and the king of Wei was one of them.

It's just that King Wei doesn't love power in this life, and he receives a prince but refuses to ask for real power, and spends his days eating, drinking, and having fun in the palace. The sage couldn't stand it, so he handed over the purchase of the palace and the various yamen in Chang'an City to him. King Wei received the order, worked diligently, and never dared to slack off.

The prince of Wei was more cautious than that of King Wei, and he hardly went out to socialize with people. I don't know how Cui Pu did it, but he actually became friends with the prince of Wei.

When Mu Jiaojiao asked about this, Cui Pu didn't answer, but said with an unfathomable face: "This is a secret between us, and we won't tell anyone if we say it." ”

Forget it, she just asked casually anyway. The friendship between men is nothing more than those situations, and she will naturally know it in the future. Mu Jiaojiao pouted.

The Wei Wangfu is also on the east side of Chang'an City, but the Wei Wang's family is happy and quiet, and the Wei Wang does not need to go to the early court every day, so now their family lives in the Fanchuan villa located at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Speaking of this Fanchuan villa, it was the sage who killed the Wei family and confiscated the property in Wei's name, including a villa here in Fanchuan, and the sage gave it to the King of Wei.

The carriage traveled for more than half an hour before finally passing through the city gate and arriving at the Wei Wangfu Annex in the suburbs outside the city.

They arrived earlier. After Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu got out of the car, they were welcomed to the backyard, where the prince of Wei and the princess were waiting for them.

The princess is from the Hongnong Yang family, and she is also a famous family, and she was born with a good face and a graceful bearing. Such a woman stands out no matter where she stands. But now standing with the son, she was compared severely.

Because—the son of the world is so good-looking!

The eyebrows and eyes are soft and handsome, the facial features are like ink paintings, and the body is long and straight, which is even more noble and incomparable against the backdrop of a brocade dress. It was even two points better than Qiu Shan, the son of Qiu Divine Doctor, whom Mu Jiaojiao had seen before.

Such a man, if he is placed in the Wei and Jin dynasties, I am afraid that he will end up being killed like Wei Jie, right?

After the two sides met, the princess came to Mu Jiaojiao's side: "I heard that the sixth young lady of Cui Mansion has unparalleled medical skills, and she just appeared in Cui Mansion, and she was loved by Liu Langjun at first sight, and swore that she would not marry in this life, so we are all curious about what kind of woman can make him so emotional." When I saw you today, I found that you are much more calm and elegant than I imagined, no wonder Cui Liulangjun loves you like a jewel, even I like the son of the world very much when I see it!"

These words fell on Cui Pu's ears, and the green tendons on his forehead twitched unconsciously.

Mu Jiaojiao forcibly held back a smile. "Thank you for the compliment, the concubine is ashamed. However, after the princess is famous, she has a noble bearing, which I can't catch up with. ”

After the two of them praised each other, Cui Pu finally went to the front with the prince of Wei, and Mu Jiaojiao was taken to the back garden by the princess.

"Aunt and Uncle are not in the house today. Agu Li Buddha has always been pious, today is the fifteenth, she is bound to go to the temple to offer incense. My uncle couldn't bear it at home, so he went with my aunt, saying that he was going to the mountains to enjoy the coolness, but we didn't stop him. There are no elders here today, only our peers, you must not be too nervous, just be calm. While walking, the princess said to Mu Jiaojiao.

But as she spoke, she realized that she seemed to be overthinking. Because Mu Jiaojiao followed her calmly, her face was calm, and there was no tension at all about to see a big scene, or fear of what was about to happen.

It was a far cry from what she had expected at first. The princess said secretly in her heart.

There is a huge lake in the back garden of the Wei Wangfu Annex, and the lake is full of lotus flowers. In the middle of July, the lotus flowers in the lake are blooming, and the pink and white are competing for beauty, and they are reflected in the green lotus leaves, which is beautiful.

There is a small island in the middle of the lake, and a two-story building has been built on the island, and they take a small boat to slowly move forward among the lotus flowers in the lake, and finally reach the island, Mu Jiaojiao only to find that this two-story small building is all made of bamboo, even the ladders up and down. Climb all the way up to the second floor, and you will smell the light fragrance of bamboo mixed with the fragrance of lotus flowers and lotus leaves, which is refreshing.

On the second floor, there are a few low couches neatly placed on the top of the building, and there are no tree walls around the bamboo building, only a few huge bamboo curtains are hung. The princess ordered the bamboo curtain to be put away, and the surrounding area of the bamboo building immediately became transparent. Sitting here, you can have a panoramic view of the lake below, which is completely different from the feeling of being in the lake before.

But seeing such a beautiful scenery, Mu Jiaojiao still didn't react much, just the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she praised: "It's really exquisite, His Royal Highness King Wei is so elegant." ”

Seeing this, the princess felt a sharp decrease in her contempt, and couldn't help but be more affectionate to her.

The two of them were drinking tea and talking, and after a while, the guests came one by one.

The Wei Wangfu has always been alone in the court, and does not have much contact with other dignitaries. Therefore, there are not many people who come to participate in the lotus banquet today, except for a few princesses of the palace who still have some dealings with the Wei Palace, the rest are all friends of the princesses, and they are naturally also famous ladies.

When these people saw Mu Jiaojiao, they were stunned at first, and a perfunctory smile appeared on their faces. But seeing that the princess did not snub Mu Jiaojiao, and even took the initiative to talk to her, everyone knew that the princess intended to promote Mu Jiaojiao, and there was a few words with her. In the face of such a situation, Mu Jiaojiao is still calm, she will pay attention to someone talking to her, and if no one pays attention to her, she will enjoy the flowers and taste tea, and her comfortable appearance does not show the slightest childishness, but perfectly blends with the ladies of the family present, which surprises these people who want to see Mu Jiaojiao's jokes.

The princess saw their reactions, and a hanging heart gradually let go - originally she was entrusted by the prince today to introduce Mu Jiaojiao to these people, and she was still in trouble in her heart. After all, Mu Jiaojiao's background is too low, and when she got married, she took away half of the Mu family's wealth, and was jokingly accused of planning to use money to smash her next position. She has already left such an impression in everyone's hearts, how can she make others accept her willingly?

It's just the entrustment of the prince, she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to nod her head and respond. But since she posted to Mu Jiaojiao to today, she has had a headache for several days, and her hair has turned gray several times. I am afraid that Mu Jiaojiao is really as said outside, he is an arrogant person, who only understands medical skills and does not observe human feelings. In this way, even if she tries her best to promote, if she doesn't cooperate, I'm afraid it's useless!

But I never thought that Mu Jiaojiao's indifference was indifferent, but it was not that he didn't understand etiquette. At least from the beginning to the present, her response to everyone is not bad, although it is not perfect, but it is also polite, and it does not give people a sense of abruptness or even stuttering, and even she has a kind of self-esteem that they are all very familiar with, which makes them psychologically unconsciously move closer to her.

If this development continues, then things will be easy to do! As long as Mu Jiaojiao rewrites everyone's bad impression of her today, then she is expected to go further with them next time. Starting from here, she will slowly expand to other people, and before long, she will be able to stand up and meet people generously as the daughter-in-law of the Cui family!

Thinking like this, the princess was in a good mood, so she raised her glass and said: "It's rare for everyone to gather here today to enjoy this beautiful scenery." Come, I'll give you a drink!"

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to greet each other.

After a glass of wine, they were about to continue laughing when they heard a rush of footsteps coming from downstairs. Soon, a servant woman ran in in a panic: "Princess Shizi, Princess Tangchang is here, and now people have entered the door!"

When the big guys heard this, they all showed puzzled expressions, only the princess's face changed slightly, and she quietly looked at Mu Jiaojiao's side.

Because Princess Tangchang and Cui Pu met in a medium-sized teahouse that day, there were no people in the top circle among the people who watched the excitement at that time, and the people in the teahouse did not know Cui Pu, and Princess Tangchang often went out to rob the handsome Xiaolangjun, they were all used to it, so they didn't think too much. Later, Princess Tangchang ordered someone to give gifts to the Cui family, and the Cui family returned the gift, both of which were carried out extremely secretly and did not let outsiders know. So now that Princess Tangchang suddenly took the initiative to come to the door, everyone was startled, and they didn't understand why this princess, who was different from them, suddenly remembered to come here and get together with them?

Mu Jiaojiao looked peaceful, and only sighed faintly in her heart - sure enough, the time to come is still here.

After a while, I saw another small boat shuttling between the lotus leaves. Princess Tang Chang, who was dressed up magnificently, walked up to the second floor, and before anyone arrived, a hearty laugh came: "Twenty-six daughter-in-law, you have no conscience! You have a good flower-viewing banquet, and you don't even remember to call me! I have no other preferences in my life, so I like to look at a few flowers, don't you already know this?"

The princess hurriedly greeted her. "The princess is polite! Today we are just a few friends gathering, and we dare not alarm the princess. Originally, I thought that after two days, the flowers would bloom better, and then invite the princess to come and watch, but I didn't expect that the people below did not pass on this word to the princess in time, but let the princess come two days early. It's my fault, please punish the princess!"

"Oh, it's all your own family, what are you doing so politely? Don't call me a princess, just call me cousin with Xiao Twenty-six. Princess Tang Chang said proudly, smiling all over her face.

The princess felt a chill in her back.

The others also stood up and saluted. Princess Tangchang waved her jade hand and said heartily.

The princess was helpless, called her cousin with difficulty, and Zhang Luo placed Princess Tangchang in her place and sat down, and then went down to sit down. But Princess Tang Chang grabbed her: "Didn't you say that today is a small gathering of friends? Since they are all their own people, there is no need to talk about any rules, just sit casually." ”

The princess hurriedly shook her head: "Then how can it be done? ”

"Is it?If the etiquette cannot be abolished, why did I see an outsider here?" Princess Tang Chang spoke, her eyes finally swept to Mu Jiaojiao over there.

"Ah, she's not an outsider. She's—"

"I am the wife of Shangliu Langjun in Cui Ge's old mansion, and my maiden name is Mu. Mu Jiaojiao took the words of the next princess.

The corners of Princess Tang Chang's lips hooked. "Oh, you are the little lady of the Mu family who cured the Cui family's eldest Langjun and exchanged this kindness for a marriage contract?

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for the compliment, the courtiers dare not be ashamed. Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.

In the face of her weakness, Princess Tangchang did not intend to accept it when she saw it, but had to make inches. "By the way, I've been hearing people say these days that your medical skills are excellent, and if you cure this today and that tomorrow, you will soon become the benefactor of the entire Chang'an City! It just so happens that I've been feeling bad for the past two days, so come and show me. If it's good, I'll be rewarded!But if it's bad......"

Her eyes were cold, but the corners of her lips were curled higher. "What to do, you know it yourself, huh?"
