Chapter 9: Concubine Dong

Mu Youning didn't notice the expressions of the two, she recalled what happened at the flower viewing banquet in her previous life, but when she searched for her memories carefully, she found that the memories of her previous life were already very vague.

I only vaguely remember that I made a big fool of myself at the flower viewing banquet.

Since she was a child, she only loves riding and archery and chess painting, and she doesn't know anything about female workers and piano books.

But she heard that King Qi liked to behave generously and skillfully ladies, so she found a master to learn after returning to the city.

Before the flower-viewing feast, it was just a month of study.

And other noble girls have been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and female workers since elementary school, so she naturally can't compare.

At the flower appreciation banquet in her previous life, Concubine Dong ordered someone to play a song "Spring and White Snow", and Mu Youran pushed her out.

She has a high temperament, she can't learn to be tactful and false, and she wants to show her intentions to her sweetheart, so she responded.

Another official lady who played with her was Xie Wanxi, the daughter of the prime minister's family, who was known as the first talented woman of the unicorn.

One can imagine how badly she was set off.

Before she returned to the city, rumors spread about the lack of talent and rude appearance of the eldest lady of the Mu family.

Originally, on the second day of the flower-viewing banquet, she Mu Youning should have become a talking point on the streets.

But it doesn't seem to be, there is one thing that overwhelms the scandal of her lack of talent. But what it was, she couldn't remember.

Mu Youning frowned, not understanding what was going on, the memories of her past life seemed to become more and more blurred as her soul slowly merged.

"Miss, it's here. Aoyagi reminded softly.

Although Aoyagi is a little too lively in the mansion on weekdays, she has a temperament on formal occasions, which is why Mu Youning is willing to bring her here.

Mu Youning came back to his senses, nodded, and was helped out of the carriage by Xiang Ming.

This is the side door of Dexuan Gate, and these official ladies can't go in by car, so they have to get out of the car and walk.

The venue of the banquet was in the Imperial Garden, and before that, they needed to go to Concubine De's dormitory, Deyi Palace, to greet Concubine De.

As soon as they got out of the car, the little eunuch of Deyi Palace, who was guarding the city gate, greeted them and saluted a few people: "The slave has seen Miss Mu, Miss Mu Er, and Miss Mu Si." The slave is the little plum of Deyi Palace, and on the order of Concubine Dong, she took a few people to Deyi Palace. ”

"There is Father-in-law Lao Li. Mu Youning said politely and waved his hand at the fragrant tea.

Xiang Ming understood, and took a few steps forward to stuff a purse for Xiao Lizi.

Xiao Lizi shook it quietly, her face was more enthusiastic, and she secretly said that this Miss Mu was generous.

A few people walked for about a quarter of an hour before they saw Deyi Palace.

Mu Youning raised her eyes and looked at the majestic and glorious palace in front of her, the sun shone into her eyes, which was obviously warm, but it couldn't dispel the coldness in her eyes.

In her previous life, Concubine Dong dragged her to Lanruo Temple in the name of asking for a son for herself, causing Xiangming and Qingliu to be killed, on the charge of stealing the Ruyi given by Concubine Xie Wanyan.

She knew very well that Xiang Ming and Aoyagi were human beings, and it was absolutely impossible for them to do such dirty things, so she just wanted to give them a clean reputation.

She had no way to ask for help in the house, so she begged Concubine Dong.

She will never forget it in her life, when Concubine Dong looked at her with contempt and coldness, she smiled sarcastically, "The princess said that my son does not distinguish between right and wrong, kills innocents indiscriminately, and is brutal? ”

Xiao Lizi, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, beckoned a little eunuch casually, turned his head to Mu Youning and said, "The slave took the eldest lady and the second lady to the main hall to meet Concubine Dong Niangniang first." ”

After the words fell, Xiao Lizi said to Mu Youhan again: "Fourth Miss, please go to the side hall with Xiao Dezi first." ”

Mu Youning lowered his eyes, covered the look in his eyes, listened to Xiao Lizi's words and nodded, and followed Xiao Lizi to the main hall with Mu Youran.

Xu is Concubine Dong had already made a will, and several people entered the main hall directly without notification.

Before reaching the front hall, the laughter of the women in the hall came out.

Mu Youning paused before pacing in.

I saw that there were already more than a dozen women sitting in the front hall, thinking that they were all the daughters of various ministers' families, Mu Youning swept them over one by one quietly.

She retracted her gaze, knelt down without squinting, and saluted respectfully: "The courtier Mu Youning, I have seen Concubine Dong's mother." ”

Where others can't see, the coldness in her eyes is almost overflowing, and the enemy is sitting above, but she must hold back the hatred and grovel to her.

If it weren't for the fact that she knew that the time had not come, she was afraid that Concubine Dong would have already been in a different place.

Everyone looked at Mu Youning, who was saluting, and their eyes were full of surprise.

Mu Youning went out with his father at the age of twelve, and at the age of thirteen, he led his troops to suppress the bandits alone.

The emperor was overjoyed and personally named her the general of Wupin Ningyuan.

In the court, Mu Youning, the thirteen-year-old general of Ningyuan, looked proud, clasped his fists, and thanked him.

Some officials angrily scolded her for not knowing etiquette and not kneeling.

Mu Youning was not angry, his childish face was full of positive colors, "For the general, what I look at is the ability to lead troops to fight, not these false courtesies." ”

"Hahahaha. The Emperor of the Golden Palace laughed, "Okay, I'm done." ”

The emperor exempted her from kneeling, and she naturally did not have to kneel to anyone.

Now not only kneeling...... The etiquette is still so standard.

Concubine Dong's eyes flashed a trace of something, and then said, "Get up quickly." Yujin, give Youning and Youran a seat. ”

Mu Youning came back to his senses and put away the look in his eyes. "Xie Dong, Concubine Niangniang. ”

She stood up and was led to her seat by the little maid.

After seeing the sitting clearly, she raised her eyebrows lightly and sat down without changing her face.

The other official ladies had changed their faces.

I saw that she was sitting in the lower right position of Concubine Dong, and directly opposite her was the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's family, Xie Anran.

Everyone knows that Concubine Dong was born in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites and is also Xie Anran's cousin.

Although the seats arranged were all under Concubine Dong, she was in the right seat, but she faintly pressed Xie Anran.

And Mu Youran was separated from her by a few positions and sat in the middle.

Mu Youning lowered his eyes and secretly speculated about Concubine Dong's intentions.

In her previous life, she also sat in this position, but she didn't realize the deep meaning of this at that time, after all, she never cared about any rules, she only felt that Concubine Dong might look at her kindly, so she put her in the next position.

Now that the saint is very old, the establishment of the reserve is imminent.

Among the seven princes, in addition to the second prince born to the queen, only the fourth prince Qi Siyuan born to Concubine Dong has the strength to compete for the position of the East Palace with the fifth prince born to Concubine De.

Concubine De was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and is the Prime Minister's sister-in-law, and the relationship between her and the Prime Minister's Mansion is naturally closer than Concubine Dong.
