Chapter 55 The weird comer of the harem

In Mrs. Xu's yard, an old eunuch sat aside, followed by several maids holding clothes and satin boxes in their hands.

Seeing the door curtain lifted in two girls, fourteen or five years old, wearing pink clothes, pink Bixia cloud pattern pearl paired peacock long skirt, skirt dance to the ground, covered with light white gauze, faintly revealing some gorgeous sparrow patterns on pink clothes, skirt and cuffs are edged with silver-white auspicious cloud brocade, yes, the face is beautiful, The body is slender and well-proportioned, worthy of a beautiful word!

The small one is simply dressed, wearing a light white skirt, and a light-colored emerald skirt, which only hooks a light pattern at the bottom of the skirt, and the black hair is tied into a diagonal bun. Only a silver empty jade hairpin is pinned, which evokes a faint pearl. Looking at it, I only feel that the whole person looks soft and pitiful, just for He was not tall and lowered his head when he came in. He didn't see his face clearly. He only felt that he had not grown up yet, about twelve or three years old.

"These two are the granddaughters and granddaughters of the old lady. Sure enough, they are all rare beauties. No wonder the queen praised the old lady for being blessed after seeing them in the palace. Not only her granddaughter looks like a flower, but even a granddaughter is so beautiful. I don't think it's too much for the old lady's two granddaughters. Ah!" The old eunuch is a talkative person. At this time, he saw a funny smile. Mrs. Xu, who said it, couldn't close his mouth for a moment.

After saluteing behind Luo Mingzhu, Mo Xuetong stood on the side of Mr. Xu and did not say anything. He only looked at the old eunuch secretly with his eyes. The eunuchs in the palace could see the grade from the robes. The general little eunuchs were gray horizontal lines. Some powerful eunuchs could embroidered two silver horizontal lines on their sleeves and follow the masters of each palace. Only the eunuch around him can have three golden horizontal lines on the cuffs.

The three horizontal lines of this old eunuch's cuffs are real, and they come out of the queen's palace. The great eunuchs who come out of the queen's palace are not the great eunuchs from other palaces. There is no need to flatter a foreign woman at all. Even if the granddaughter is a preterred lady, she can't stand it in front of the queen. The queen is What to do?

"Thank you for your praise," Mrs. Xu said with a smile and pointed to Luo Mingzhu and Mo Xuetong respectively. "This is my granddaughter, and that side is my granddaughter."

Seeing the old man's separate pointing, Grandpa Liu's eyes fell on the timid little body and was stunned. Although he looked delicate and pitiful, Mo Xuetong, who was clearly standing there in a daze, hesitated for a moment and looked up and down at her again.

The old lady's granddaughter looks smart. She stands aside and is also beautiful. She stands there with a smile. Although she looks at herself from time to time, she also looks a little simple and clever. Standing there is also dignified and beautiful. Such a woman is almost the same.

The one on the side has been bowing his head until now. He stood beside the old lady in a daze and didn't even dare to raise his head. Although his figure is delicate and pitiful, Mucheng is like this, and he is a little childish. He doesn't look like a lady at all. How can it be...

Isn't it really wrong there? Now I have to worry about it again, and I don't worry about time anymore.

"Since the two ladies are here, please accept the Queen's reward. I can also go to several girls in her family." Eunuch Liu smiled happily and motioned to the two sets of ruby heads, two gauze brocade, and two soft gold carved peacocks, each set with dazzling pearl gems, which are dazzling and obviously valuable. Such a reward is not to mention given to two young girls, just It is enough to give it to the favored imperial concubine.

A trace of consteration flashed in Mrs. Xu's eyes, who had been smiling! But politely thanked the two. The objects sent by the royal were not only valuable, but also face.

Mo Xuetong carefully followed Luo Mingzhu and knelt down to the gift and thank the queen for her reward. She kept bowing her head, looking at the image of a little daughter who had never seen the world. She looked at her father-in-law who had been watching her and shook her secretly. I'm afraid that she would really be wrong. Such a woman even in the palace The little maid of honor can't compare with it. How can she attract the attention of King Xuan? At most, the evil Prince Xuanwang was in a good mood at that time and took care of his own business.

What's the point?

Aunt Liu was even wondering whether the small girl Mo's eyes had provoked King Xuan's eyes and deliberately tossed her out and embarrassed her. Thinking about the character of His Highness, he could afford a moody statement and presumptuous behavior. There was no concern at all. The one in front of him was so dull. , I haven't raised my head yet. I'm afraid it's not very good-looking. In the eyes of the handsome and evil Xuanwang, it may be very eye-catching.

Thinking about this, the more I thought about it, the more possible it became. After taking a look at Mo Xuetong, who bowed her head and knelt down, she was not interested. She said goodbye to the old man and did not take anyone to several other houses. She hurriedly returned to the palace.

I'm afraid the Empress doesn't know yet. She has to explain the situation first.

In the Fugong Mansion, the old man asked Luo Mingzhu and Mo Xuetong's people to take them away, but did not let them leave. While sending people out to inquire, he carefully asked about the situation at the banquet that day, especially about what happened around the two people.

But he couldn't ask anything. He just said that the flamboyant Xuanwang helped Mo Xuetong and found the person who wronged her. Mo Xuetong naturally dared not mention that he had known this evil Xuanwang before. He just said that this was the first time he had seen him, and he wondered why he still helped him.

"Grandma, grandmother, why did the Empress reward us such a valuable thing?" Luo Mingzhu was born in a rich family and naturally knew that the swing was unusual. She felt that she was not picky that night. Even if she played the piano in the end, she was suppressed by Mo Xuemin. She didn't see any color at all. How could the queen specially reward her, especially the obviously brilliant Mo Xuemin's reward actually gave it to her cousin. Luo Mingzhu is a vector of carelessness, and she also feels that it is not right at this time.

"Pupil, have you met any other unusual people or things except the affairs of the two princes?" The old lady obviously thought of this and asked with a frown.

Are there any other unusual people or things? What about the queen and the eldest princess? Mo Xuetong bit her lips and said euphemistically, "At the banquet that day, the queen was summoned, and later she met the eldest princess to stop and talk. Is the eldest princess and mother good since childhood?"

"Your Highness saw you?" Although the old lady's face was smiling, his hand hidden in his sleeve unconsciously twitched.

"Yes, the eldest princess also asked about her mother and how her life was in Yuncheng." Mo Xuetong keenly caught a trace of panic and astonishment flashed in the old man's eyes, and still smiled charmingly.

"What did you say?" The old lady asked eagerly.

"It's nothing. I just said that my mother was doing well in Yuncheng, but she was not in good health, and later..." Mo Xuetong's eyebrows were stained with a strong sadness, biting her lips, and her clear eyes were suddenly foggy.

"It's okay, good boy, it's okay now. If your mother is here, I won't want you to be so sad. Don't think too much." The old lady stretched out his hand and held Mo Xuetong in his arms, gently stroked her face and comforted her, "The eldest princess is a widow, and she should not be seen much in the future. If she meets her on other occasions, she must also be polite. Leave."

Is this to keep her distance from the eldest princess?

"Why is the mother? The eldest princess is a kind person. Raising her pale little face, Mo Xuetong wiped her tears with a veil and asked puzzledly.

"Royal people, royal things are too far away from us. I'm afraid that you will accidentally fall into it. After all, the queen has noticed you. If the eldest princess pays attention to you again, it will not be your blessing." Mrs. Xu sighed deeply, and her fingers caressed Mo Xuetong's long black hair, but her eyes did not fall on her, and the corners of her lips could not hide the bitterness.

Such an expression falls on Mrs. Xu, who has always raised a thumbs up and dared to be a woman among women. Why is it not doubtful? However, the old lady will no longer talk about this topic next, but only talk about some girls who are interested in. In a while, the people who inquire about the news will reply, and the old lady asked them to go back to the yard separately.

Mo Xuetong returned to the room and lay **. She couldn't sleep over and over. She always felt that today's old man's words were really strange, completely different from her grandmother's temper.

After turning half a sound in **, he suddenly sat up and took Mo Ye and Molan for a walk in the courtyard. He was slightly worried between his eyebrows and always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something. His grandmother was strangely nervous today and alienated herself from the eldest princess. The eldest princess was a good widow, but his mother died early, which was not bad. Blessed people, what can you avoid? Besides, the eldest princess is just a princess, childless and daughterless. How can she involve herself in the royal affairs...

What on earth is the grandmother worried about? Why didn't she let herself get close to the eldest princess?

Because of something in his heart, he simply walked to the corner. There were not many people I saw along the way. I only saw two or three maids passing by in a hurry, and all of them saluted and retreated politely. The people in the house had already been told that the cousin was coming. Seeing her figure and magnitude, they naturally knew that this was the old lady's favorite granddaughter, who dared not neglect it.

Mo Xuetong has been growing up in Yuncheng. When she was a child, Luo Xia took her back to Beijing twice, and it was all when she was a child, so she was not familiar with the Duke of Fu. She was full of things, and the road became more and more she went.

Miss, where is that? It's really like your wife's garden, and the camphor tree at the door also looks like it. Molan suddenly stopped and pointed to the high wall on one side and said in surprise.

Sure enough, a high wall stood in front of him, and the wide courtyard door was locked. There was a camphor tree behind the door, which was exactly the same as the old house in Yuncheng. Is this my mother's residence?

I vaguely remember that when I went to the Duke of Fuguo Mansion when I was a child, I came here, but when this place was so desolate.

The door was locked with yellow embroidery. Although the outside of the door was cleaned, there were weeds inside. At a glance, I knew that no one had come in to clean it up for a long time. There was a layer of soil in the corner, and several crazy vines came through it, making the garden more desolate and quiet, and there was no sound around.

The heartbeat was crazy, and my fingers trembled slightly and stroked a green vine plant in the corner of the wall!

She remembered that this was her mother's residence, or once her mother's residence. She had lived here before she was ten years old, and then moved to another place. This is what her mother once told her, and what she remembered that her mother had said to her... But at that time, she was too young, or too careless, and now she not only doesn't want to Get up, and even forget this old garden.

There must be something. The performance of the eldest princess, the performance of the grandmother, and the cause of death that the mother can't explain all indicate that there are secrets in the mother that she doesn't know... or it can uncover the fog in the mother.

"Mo Ye, go in and open the door!" Her mind buzzed, and she heard her cold voice.
