Chapter 109 Farewell to An Xian
After breakfast, Mo Qingcheng and He Liancheng rushed to the eldest prince's mansion to see An Yu and Shen Muqi off.
Shen Muqi was only picked up from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice early this morning. Although he is the prince, he is a prisoner when he enters the cell. Although no one dares to disrespect him, he has not received special preferential treatment. At this moment, he is changing.
An Yan was very excited to see Mo Qingcheng coming. It seemed that there was something happy to tell her, but when she saw He Liancheng on the side, it was difficult to speak. It was not until He Liancheng took an excuse to walk outside the courtyard that she pulled Mo Qingcheng into the room and began to talk.
"Sister, Muzi just gave me this!" An Yan stretched out his hand and smiled like a flower.
"Weir silk green dragon jade?" Mo Qingcheng took over the jade pendant and looked carefully. One dragon, one phoenix and one auspicious cloud, took the peace of the world, and the grain was abundant, which was also a noble and auspicious expression of the royal family. Once in the Wenwang Mansion, Shen Mushu also had such a piece of jade, but the name engraved on it was different.
"This jade was rewarded by the emperor. Each of the four princes had one piece. He used to wear it on his body. Last time Mo Qingwu asked him for it, but he didn't give it to him. This time, I was shocked and didn't know what he meant." An Xian smiled shyly, with a streamer in his eyes.
Mo Qingcheng smiled and said, "This is his most precious thing. Since he gave it to you today, it means that you are very important in his heart. Silly sister, don't you even understand this?"
An Xian lowered his eyes and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, "So it is!"
"After this incident, he finally knows your intention, and it's not too late!" Mo Qingcheng patted her hand and whispered, "Mo Qingwu didn't end. Shen Muqi could see it, but unfortunately the Empress was deceived!"
"The queen believes in Buddhism, and with the four princesses adding firewood and fire on her back, Mo Qingwu can certainly get what she wants," An Xian said bitterly, "It's okay for her to be a nun, but it's annoying! Her noble body can't bear any suffering or grievances. In the future, we will not be able to live in peace when we enter the imperial mausoleum!"
"That's what you said!" Mo Qingcheng nodded. Mo Qingwu was a person whose heart was higher than the sky and thinner than paper. Originally, he thought that he could be the queen after marrying Shen Muqi, but now he fantasized about seducing the emperor to become an imperial concubine, but unfortunately, both would fail in the end.
"Well, did she think it would be good to enter Changshou'an?" An Qian suddenly snorted and said contemptuously, "A few days ago, my mother came to see me and said that Mother's old friend Jing'an was practicing in Changshou'an. The newcomer she brought happened to be Mo Qingwu. In the first few days, Mo Qingwu was still arrogant and arrogant. Later, she couldn't help punishing, but she was honest. She must be doing things obediently now. Her new disciple still wants to give face to the people who have passed by, and she is really asking for trouble!"
Mo Qingcheng sneered, "I heard that the precepts of Changshou'an are the strictest. Every day, you should not only meditate and practice, but also do chores by yourself. It is said that it must be difficult to live on your own. If she is smart and willing to be soft, it's okay. Unfortunately, she is pretentious and doesn't pay attention to anyone!"
The two were laughing happily and came in comfortably. He was dressed in a strong blue suit, with long flowing hair, showing a tight and straight body, followed by two bodyguards, as if he was going far away.
"Brother, you're here!" An Xian looked at him in surprise and then joked, "Dressing so handsome, do you want to find your sister-in-law or send us?"
Mo Qingcheng also smiled. In her memory, An Yi always looks like a leisurely cloud and a wild crane. Today, it is different, and it is more energetic and handsome!
An Yi's face was embarrassed and he lowered his voice and said, "This is for the convenience of riding a horse!"
"We know that you don't have to explain!" An Xian poured a cup of hot tea for him, "In a moment, the Empress will also come over, and she has sent someone to say it!"
"The Queen is really eager to love her son!" An Yi took the tea and smiled, "Except for the annual sacrifice, I haven't heard that the Empress has been out of the palace!"
"I don't know when I will see you again. Naturally, the Empress is reluctant to give up!" With that, An Ji became sad again, "According to the rules, outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave the imperial mausoleum casually. I'm afraid we won't have a chance to meet again in the future!"
"Don't be too pessimistic. Maybe one day the emperor will change his mind again!" The comfort also couldn't help feeling depressed, but there was still hope on his face.
Mo Qingcheng quietly retreated when she saw this. She thought she was the least comforting, especially the closer people!
When he went out, he saw He Liancheng and Shen Mushu standing under a lilac tree. Both of them were dressed in white. He Liancheng was heroic and had a hegemonic atmosphere. Shen Mushu was elegant and could not hide the royal wind. He lowered his head and talked about something, which was relaxed and happy.
The petals fell down and sprinkled their shoulders. When Mo Qingcheng saw this situation, he felt like a dream. It turns out that two people who hate each other can also be so harmonious!
He Liancheng saw Mo Qingcheng first. He casually folded a flower branch from the tree and came over with a smile in his eyes, "This flower is very suitable for you!" With that, he gently inserted it on her bun, regardless of whether she was happy or not.
Shen Mushu looked at this scene with some heartbreakingness, and his chest hurt for no reason. Since the last time he was willing to hurt himself for her, every time he thought of her, his chest always hurt, as if he had been poisoned by love.
Mo Qingcheng's heart beat violently. It turned out that it was this feeling to receive flowers. In her previous life, she also fantasized about a man sending flowers, but because of her work, she has never been in contact with a man alone, let alone someone sending flowers. Although this lilac is not even a flower, she is still a little throbbing. Her face turned red, and she raised her face and said, "I prefer roses!"
"The beauty is more pitiful than the painting. Who will give it as a rose?" He Liancheng smiled gently, stroked her eyebrows, looked at her tenderly, and whispered, "Turn around and plant roses in the yard!"
The flowers in the courtyard are full of roses, but roses. Mo Qingcheng likes not roses, but rose language: miracles and impossible things, whose flower language represents pure love and kindness.
"In broad daylight, you and me, Mo Qingcheng, do you know shame!" A sweet but pretentious sound came, which was particularly harsh in this empty yard.
"Fourth sister, why do you talk like that!" Shen Mushu frowned and said unhappily. He knew that the fourth sister had never liked Qingcheng because of He Liancheng, but it was the first time he humiliated him in front of him, and he was a little annoyed: "I'm married, and my words are still so rude!"
"Third brother, why are you always looking at her? You don't know that she is already Mrs. Helian. Do you think she will appreciate you if you protect her?" Shen Murou made a contemptuous voice in her nose and looked at Shen Mushu sarcastically. As soon as she saw Mo Qingcheng, she was paralyzed by hatred and spoke without measure.
With a crack, Shen Mushu slapped the proud princess heavily, "Is that how you talk to your brother?" In the past, everyone spoiled her and hoped that she would be good, but they didn't expect that she has become like this now. What's the difference from women in the market!
Shen Murou covered the left half of the face that was slapped by him in disbelief. Her watery eyes were suddenly full of tears, and she trembled and said, "Third brother, you actually hit me for this woman!" No one has beaten himself since he was a child. Even if he made a mistake, his father just punished him. Today, the third brother actually beat himself in front of He Liancheng for Mo Qingcheng, a bitch!
Seeing her crying, Shen Mushu panicked and quickly walked up, held her shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, fourth sister, it's the third brother who is too impulsive!"
"Go away!" Shen Murou shook off his hand and looked at him sadly, like an injured kitten.
Mo Qingcheng hugged He Liancheng's arm and looked at it happily. He Liancheng is also expressionless. He has always had no good impression of this arrogant and domineering princess.
"Sier, why did you cry again early in the morning?" The queen came with two maids walking heavily. Although her voice was soft, she was a little unhappy.
Recently, she has been worried about Shen Muqi's affairs. She finally begged the emperor to let her go out of the palace to send Qi'er, but when she saw Si'er crying here, her originally sad mood became even heavier.
"The Empress is auspicious!" Mo Qingcheng and He Liancheng saluted together.
"Let's be flat!"
"Thank you, Empress!"
Mo Qingcheng got up and saw the queen's pale face and melancholy. Although she was coated with rouge and dressed in gorgeous clothes, it was difficult to hide her loneliness.
"Queen Mother!" As soon as Shen Murou saw the queen, she rushed up and cried with tears, "The third brother beat me for Mo Qingcheng. Mother, you have to make the decision for Rouer!"
Mo Qingcheng curled his lips and looked at the queen with an indifferent face. He didn't say anything or do anything!
"Well, are you here to see your eldest brother off or to quarrel today!" The queen said impatiently, and her deep eyes were a little tired. She didn't have to think about it and knew that Si'er had done something stupid again. Moreover, Shu'er had always been reasonable. If Si'er hadn't been too far, he would never have done it. Usually, she would like to coax her, but today she is really not in the mood.
"Mother~" Shen Murou saw that the queen ignored her, and her tears flowed more fiercely. She stared at Mo Qingcheng with resentment and reluctantly followed her into the house.
Shen Mushu looked at Mo Qingcheng with some guilt, and the corners of his mouth moved. After all, he didn't say anything and lowered his head and entered the room.
"It's really hard to be a son-in-law!" Mo Qingcheng sighed regretfully.
He Liancheng's thick sword eyebrows raised slightly, "It's not that enemies don't get together!"
It was noon when Anrong and Shen Muqi were sent away. The two bought some rose seeds on the street before rushing back to the general's mansion. Along the way, Mo Qingcheng has been thinking about An��'s words. The Empress believes in Buddhism!
The Empress believes in Buddhism, and Mo Qingwu happens to be in Changshou Temple. Maybe she can do something from it.
