44 Do you like Su Heyu?
On this day, Mu Xilan woke up early in the morning, simply washed and wiped his mouth after breakfast. The first sentence he asked was, "Nan Xiao, today is the day when Su Heyu and the bride return, right?"
She remembered clearly when she returned to the door in three days. Because he went back to the palace alone to meet his father and mother.
Nan Xiao also felt that the young lady always cared about Mr. Su's affairs. She wanted to ask, but when she saw that the young lady was worried, she still swallowed the question back into her stomach, "Yes. Miss, are you still going to stay in the house today?
Mu Xi'an didn't remember until he had dinner. Today, Mu Qianrui didn't eat with himself, so he didn't answer the question, "Where's your brother?"
"I heard that in the early morning, the emperor had the heart to abolish the crown prince. After the young master knew it, he went to Qingfeng Pavilion to find Master Yi.
With a "bang", the white fragments fell to the ground, and the hot turquoise tea sprinkled on Mu Xi's embroidered shoes, but she was unconscious. Jun'anhe was born as a prince, which has been like this for 20 years. Why, suddenly, my father... The emperor had the intention to abolish it. For a moment, her feet felt cold. Looking down, the ground was in a mess again.
Mu Xiyan raised her palm feebly and was annoyed that she could not change her habit of throwing cups.
Nan Xiao is used to it, but it is really difficult to explain the abnormality of the young lady, or he can't help asking, "What's the matter, Miss? I have always wondered why Miss is always familiar with the people and things in the capital?"
"Nan Xiao, do you believe in the past and present life?" Mu Xilan stared straight at a certain place with a faint voice.
"I didn't believe it before, but since I fell into the water and fell into a coma, I felt that my soul was floating in a strange place. Maybe it was in the capital. In just a few days, I seemed to have experienced more than 20 years and experienced everything from a strange woman."
Nan Xiao looked at Mu Xilan's lips motionless, and her expression was obviously stunned, but she really didn't believe it. "So it is. No wonder the young lady is always so strange, and sometimes she knows a lot of things inexplicably.
"Then accompany me to cousin Yi." Mu Xian didn't even have time to change his embroidered shoes, so he hurried away.
Qingfeng Pavilion, the yard is the same as the name, simple and simple.
When Mu Xiruan came in, Yi Xiaozheng and Mu Qianrui talked about today's morning. They were distracted and didn't see anyone come in. The maid beside Yi Xiao was about to speak when Mu Xiyan made a mischievous gesture and sat down softly to the side.
"The prince behaved indifferently in the early morning. The prince must have known it for a long time." Yi Xiao guessed, pondered for a moment, and continued, "After the next dynasty, the prince only said to me that the emperor was the same different."
Mu Qianrui was surprised, "Why, it's different?"
"In fact, officials in the court can feel the changes of the emperor. The emperor's previous review of memorials were vigorous and vigorous, and he never pretended to be with others. However, since last year, the emperor has pushed the memorial to several Shangshu. Especially in the past, the emperor never delayed the early morning, and this year the emperor pushed the early morning several times. In fact, the ministers knew that the emperor was greedy for beauty..." He wanted to continue, but after looking at Mu Qianrui, Yi Xiao quickly closed his mouth.
Mu Qianrui stopped looking at his desire again and raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter? Why didn't you suddenly say anything?"
At this time, Yi Xiao picked up the teacup to moisten her throat. Her eyes touched Mu Xiren sitting in the outer hall. The teacup almost took off her hand. "Xiren, when did you come in?"
Mu Xiran smiled and said bluntly, "I also heard Nanxiao say something about the court, so I came to listen to it."
"Just have a good rest. You don't need to know about the middle court. Mu Qianrui only regarded it as Mu Xiren's joke.
Mu Xiyan curled his lips, made a stool and sat next to them. He sighed bitterly, "It's so annoying to stay in the house all day. It's hard to hear interesting things. Don't drive me away, okay? I just listen to it boringly."
"Okay, listen to it if you want, but you dare not say these words casually." Who made Mu Qianrui love this sister the most? The cruel refusal was absolutely unspeakable. Thinking of what Yi Xiao said just now, "What did you want to say just now?"
Yi Xiao took a look at Mu Xilan's eyes like a bright moon and turned her head helplessly. "Because of the eldest daughter of the Mu family, after Mu Wan entered the palace, the emperor became more and more ignored the government. In the past, when Princess Zhaohua was there, she could still suppress Concubine Wan. Last year, Princess Zhaohua died, and Concubine Wan became more and more favored by the emperor.
Mu Xi, who was listening carefully, clenched her fingers on the table. It was Mu Wan, her sister in this life.
Mu Qianrui was also a little unnatural and touched her head. "Although she is my elder sister, I have never liked her."
"So I guess that the abolition of the crown prince has something to do with Concubine Wan." Yi Xiao had to come to a conclusion.
Mu Xi'an became more and more worried about the emperor and queen in the palace, "So... what about the queen? Does the queen let a concubine interfere in the government, just a concubine?"
"Since the death of Princess Zhaohua, the queen has not been in charge of the harem. Besides, the harem is favored first. Those concubines have passed a good year, which is comparable to Wanfei's eighteen years. It is a delicate flower and a means to please the emperor. What's more, other concubines are also happy to see the abolition of the prince. Yi Xiao told them the current situation in detail.
Mu Xilan and Mu Qianrui looked at each other, and Mu Qianrui said, "It's really very unfavorable to the prince." He laughed at himself and said, "The Su family must hate the Mu family, and it is inevitable to bring me and Xi'an."
Yi Xiao shook his head slowly, "The emperor just has the heart to be abandoned and has no decision. It seems that the situation in the past few years has been as calm as water, but in fact, the dark tide has surged. Although the emperor's dragon heir is thin, the only four princes are also like dragons. I don't believe that they have no desire to look at the throne.
On the way out of Qingfeng Pavilion, Mu Xian has been distracted and recalling what Yi Xiao said over and over again. She tried to make up the delicate face of Concubine Wan, which was not an outstanding beauty in the harem, but Mu Miao sitting there invisibly gave people a quiet and delicate feeling. The usually tired emperor needed such a woman.
"Miss, Mrs. Yi is waiting for you in the room." Nanyi hurried over.
Mu Xiyan raised her eyes unconsciously. When she saw Nan Shi's worried expression, she quickly asked, "Do you know why your aunt came here specially?"
"I don't know, but I can see that Mrs. Yi's face is not very good."
Mu Xiran nodded and stepped into the house with a worried mood. The eldest wife of the Yi family was drinking tea. When she saw her, she took her hand affectionately, asked her to sit next to her side, and said directly, "Xiran, you lost your mother in the early years, and naturally there is less teaching around you. Since you have come to Yifu, your aunt should treat you well so as not to let people talk about it.
Hearing the words, Mu Xi'an's heart tightened, "Aunmother!? But what did others say? Xian just came to the capital and didn't do anything out of line.
Mrs. Yi patted her hand gently, with a warm smile on the corners of her mouth. "The first time my aunt saw you, she knew that you were a clever and quiet girl. It's just that the capital is not as good as Xiangcheng, and you need to be careful in the capital. He turned his head and waved to several maids, "You go out first, and only Nanxiao will stay."
"I went to Shi's house yesterday and overheard the Miss Shi family talking about you when I passed by the garden with Mrs. Shi. On the day of Mr. Su's wedding, I only had to talk to Mrs. Su, but I didn't care about you. Unexpectedly, the toast between you and Mr. Su has spread all over that day.
Mu Xiran's free emotions suddenly came back and stared at her beautiful eyes, "Aunt..."
"Xian, tell me the truth. Do you like Su Heyu?" Seeing that Mu Xiran was stunned and unable to speak, the eldest wife of the Yi family smiled, "Su and Yu are elegant. There are many women who like her in the city, not to mention that you have been in the boudoir before and have never seen any men. It's normal to be moved by Su Heyu for the first time.
Mu Xian urgently denied, "Aunmother, I... don't like Mr. Su." He lowered his eyes and clenched his sleeve robe. "I just heard about Princess Zhaohua and felt unwilling for her."
The eldest wife of the Yi family looked at her biting her lips doubtlessly. Re recalling her concern about Princess Zhaohua when she first came here, she was slightly relieved. "You are in Xiangcheng and as a woman. Maybe you have listened to the nonsense of the maids before you have some pity for Princess Zhaohua. It's good that I'm not moved by Mr. Su. My aunt doesn't want to see you fall into the Su family.
Mrs. Yi's heartfelt words made Mu Xiran feel the warmth brought to her mother. Mu Xiran smiled brightly, "I know that my aunt really loves me. That day was indeed my impulse and I didn't want to be misunderstood.
"You just came to the capital and don't know much about it. Every prosperous and rich man here is involved in a lot of complicated people and things. Take my aunt as an example. Although she was born in a rich family, she can't do her favorite things. Obviously, she has to be involved in the uninterested middle-facing battle. You must have heard a lot of these, and your aunt won't nag.
Knowing Mu Xi'an's thoughts, the eldest wife of the Yi family was much more comfortable and still took her hand. "In ten days, it will be the birthday of the ancestors of the Shi family. Tomorrow, my aunt will ask the girl from the colorful embroidery pavilion to guess your size and make some new clothes."
"Bevity?" The Su family just finished the wedding and wanted to participate in the birthday. Mu Xilan pulled his head with little interest.
"You will get used to it in the future. There are big and small things here. And if you go out more, you can meet more girls. With that, Mrs. Yi got up and said, "Xi Ran, if you have anything in the future, you must tell your aunt. Your aunt is the only girl like you.
