Chapter 20: One Thing
With the lesson of the last time, Hongluan was on guard this time as if he were facing a great enemy. But Mu Zilian changed her arrogance that day, as if she had changed as a person, polite and well-behaved. not only respectfully saluted Mu Yan, but also always had a smile on his face.
For her transformation, a discerning person can know that there is a ghost at a glance. Hongluan subconsciously leaned towards Mu Yan's side, and as soon as you made a move, I would stand up.
Mu Yan chuckled helplessly, and after asking Mu Zilian to sit down first, he said, "Hongluan, go prepare tea." ”
Hongluan didn't react at first, and froze in place without moving. It wasn't until Mu Yan gave the second command that he came to his senses. leaned into her ear and whispered, "Master, I don't worry about you staying alone with her." ”
Mu Yan glanced at her with a "you are worrying" expression. Feign angrily: "Okay, go." I'm not going to move you, can't I?"
Hongluan pursed her lips, so she had to answer and obediently go to prepare tea. As soon as she left, Mu Zilian also sent the accompanying palace maid out to stay. As soon as Mu Yan saw this posture, she knew that Mu Zilian definitely had something to find her today. Don't beat around the bush, even if you say, "My sister came to me today, what's the matter?"
Mu Zilian didn't hear it, and didn't answer, but said to herself: "When I was in Mu Mansion before, I played the piano and painted in my spare time, although it was not successful, but at least I could get a few words of praise from my mother. If you're really bored and have nothing to do, you can go shopping with your mother and buy some rouge gouache and some gadgets. Now separated by a wall, although the wealth and glory are inexhaustible, why am I so unhappy?"
Mu Yan was stunned, I don't know what kind of stimulation Mu Zilian was under, but she had such feelings. After all, the two of them are sisters with the same blood, and hearing the sadness in her words, Mu Yan couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said: "I said before, this path was chosen by yourself, and it is useless to regret it now." ”
Mu Zilian pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled softly. "Heh~ Sister, I didn't say I regretted it. I have come to you today for a matter of consultancy. I know that Your Majesty has only you in his heart, but now that I have married into the palace, I am also his wife no matter what. I don't want to end up in a desolate old palace, so I have to fight for something. Sister, I heard that in a few days you and Your Majesty will leave the palace and go to Night City to attend the 100th birthday of the grandson of the old Night King?"
Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, "The news is very well-informed." What, you want to go along?"
"Nope. Mu Zilian shook her head: "I just want to prepare a table of food to see off Your Majesty and sister." Your Majesty, I didn't ask. But presumably he naturally listened to his sister. So I'm here today to ask my sister if you appreciate your face?"
Mu Yan chuckled: "Since my sister has taken the initiative to come over and invite, I won't go, won't I give my sister too much face?" It's just that I don't know, this meal ...... Can you eat Ansheng?"
"My sister really loves to laugh. It's in my Minghua Palace, just Your Majesty and our sisters. Could it be that my sister is worried that I will poison the food?"
Poisoning Mu Zilian naturally didn't dare to do it, if either Shen Li and Mu Yan ate something wrong with this meal, she would definitely be the first to suffer, so she wouldn't be stupid enough to poison her. Mu Yan also knows this very well in his heart.
"It's your sister who likes to laugh. How could I doubt you? Okay, Your Majesty will let me say that we will leave in two days, sister, when are you going to invite you for this meal?"
Mu Zilian's eyes lit up: "Then tomorrow night." What does my sister think?"
Mu Yan nodded, "Okay, then tomorrow night, you will have to worry about Sister Lao." ”
After finishing speaking, Mu Zilian got up and was about to leave. At this moment, Hongluan just brought tea. Mu Zilian glanced at her, stopped and took a sip of the tea in Hongluan's hand, and said, "It's worthy of being my sister's personal palace maid, and doing things is neat." I still remember that when I was a child, this girl was quite blessed, and she was taken into Mu Mansion by her grandfather. Sure enough, now that my sister is a country, the people around her will naturally raise their eyebrows. ”
Mu Zilian meant something, and Mu Yan echoed: "Yes, Hongluan has been with me since she was a child, and I have long regarded her as my sister." I don't know who said that sometimes sisters who are not related by blood are often closer than those who are related? Probably Zilian, you were more afraid of me when you were a child, and often avoided me, so I think Hongluan is more like my sister. ”
Mu Zilian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she subconsciously glared at Hongluan. Hongluan's eyes were hazy with tears when she was moved by Mu Yan's words, and she completely ignored Mu Zilian.
It's boring to talk about herself, Mu Zilian snorted lightly, shook her sleeves and left angrily. As soon as she left on her front foot, Hongluan immediately ran to Mu Yan's side and asked, "Master, what did she tell you just now?" did she ridicule you? sarcastically said something that didn't stimulate you? Or did she just do it?"
Mu Yan stretched out her hand and nodded her little head, and said weakly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you." She didn't say any of this, and she didn't do anything with me. ”
Hongluan was stunned. "Huh, what did she do?"
"Come and invite me and Your Majesty to dinner. In the name of beauty, see us off. But in my opinion, it's comparable to the Hongmen Banquet. ”
"Hongmen Banquet?" Hongluan didn't understand, frowned and said, "She came here to invite you and Your Majesty to have a meal?"
Mu Yan also frowned, "Don't look at me like this, I don't know what kind of medicine she sells in this gourd." ”
"Since I don't know what medicine it is, just push it off?"
Mu Yan shook her head: "Since she took the initiative to come and invite, she made up her mind to let me agree." I don't have a reason not to go, but I ...... I also wanted to see what she wanted to do. So it's time to go. ”
Hongluan touched his chin and pondered for a long time, and suddenly figured out something, and suddenly said, "It should be fine." Isn't Your Majesty going too? With Your Majesty here, you will certainly not be in any danger, master. ”
Mu Yan shook his head and smiled, he didn't say it, but he was actually thinking about it in his heart. Somehow, she always felt that the main purpose of Mu Zilian's meal was Shen Li. She knew that if she invited Shen Li alone, Shen Li would definitely not pay attention to it. That's why I came to Weiyang Palace to find her, and she invited her, and Shen Li would definitely go.
It's not difficult to think of this level, but what puzzles Mu Yan is that it's just a meal, what other tricks can you eat? Not to mention that she and Shen Li went together. Zilian just wanted to seduce Shen Li, so she wouldn't dare to come in front of her, right? Besides, Shen Li's side wouldn't be stupid enough to take the bait.
