Chapter 46 favoritism
The Pearl Princess, who was about to get angry, shrank her pupils, with a gorgeous smile on her face, leading everyone to the front to salute!
Duanmuqing did not wear a dragon robe, but wore a casual suit, with a straight figure with noble majesty. His stern eyes eased when he swept over Princess Pearl: "Get up!"
"Thank you for your grace!"
Pearl Princess took two steps forward and took Duanmuqing's arm, looked up and asked with a bright smile, "Father, why do you have time to see your daughter today? My daughter hasn't seen you for a long time!"
Duanmuqing smiled and said, "Father heard that you are holding a flower banquet here, so let's take a look! What happened just now? Did you hear the noise before you came in?
Pearl pouted: "Father, you have to be the master of your daughter..."
"Oh? What's the matter? Who dares to provoke my pearl princess?"
"Well, it's not that Mu Qingya! Father, she doesn't pay attention to her daughter at all!"
Duanmuqing turned his eyes and moved to Mu Qingya: "Mu Qingya?"
"I want to show that the emperor is the minister!"
"Your butterfly that day was very beautiful!"
Mu Qingya looked up slightly, and the expression on her face was very surprised: "Thank you for your praise, but I didn't expect that the emperor still remembers my minister!"
"Ha ha, you made such an amazing noise that day. I can't even remember you!"
"Father!" Princess Pearl shouted dissatisfiedly! She asked her father to punish Mu Qingya, not to chat with her!
Duanmuqing patted the back of her hand: "Mu Qingya, how did you provoke the pearl?"
Mu Qingya hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the princess wants to let Qingya perform the embroidery skills of attracting butterflies here, but Qingya has been thinking about the emperor's words since the last performance at Wanfei's place. She always reminds herself that she dares not be proud. She only practices more every day and wants to embroider after the performance is perfect. A perfect embroidery was given to the emperor, because the emperor also agreed at the beginning, and Qingya did not dare to slack off and be arrogant before the embroidery skills were perfect, so she refused the princess's proposal. The minister knew that she was sorry for the princess and asked the emperor to punish him!"
Duan Muqing looked at it and nodded: "So that's it, Mingzhu, since Mu Qingya doesn't want to perform, why do you have to rob people? What's there to be angry about? Don't be angry, don't be angry!"
"Father, if that's all, how can Pearl be so angry! Mu Qingya was obviously bullying you and said that she didn't dare to be arrogant. I think she obviously didn't pay attention to the princess, and you know what she was doing just now? Unexpectedly, she dared to question Qin Jin, who is her sister and the direct daughter of the Qin family. She is completely guilty of the following crimes! Father, you must make the decision for Qin Jin!"
Huh? Is there such a thing? Mu Qingya, what's going on?
Qin Jin's heart moved and quickly said, "Your Majesty, it's like this. Originally, the pearl princess wanted to see the grand occasion of the embroidery peony attracting butterflies, but Qingya's sister not only did not want to listen, but also took the Qin family as an excuse to ward. The minister was really angry, so she was unscrupulous and let Qingya sister make a mistake. I will..."
She is indeed unscrupulous, but the content of her words cannot be known by the emperor under any circumstances!
Duan Muqing took a look at Qin Jin and said nothing. He asked Mu Qingya, "But is that so?"
Mu Qingya kowtowed: "Sister Jin is right! Please punish the emperor!"
Duanmuqing frowned and looked at the girl lying on the ground. The first time he saw her at Wanfei's banquet, he felt that this girl was different from the lady of the other family. The unique style could not be raised by ordinary people. Therefore, he also looked at the report sent by the dark guard to understand After her experience, she had some thoughts in her mind. The reason why she changed like this was because of the persecution of the concubine's sister, but how could there be such a change after a frame? I had some interest in her, thinking that if this girl could always be like this, it would be impossible to show her a good marriage in the future, but today, it seems that the arrogance in her character has not been removed! He knows the attitude of the Qin family towards the Mu family. It is understandable that she is angry, but if she wants to shake the Qin family with her own strength, it is tantamount to a dream! What's more, if she publicly expresses this meaning at such a banquet, then her position in the Qin family will only become more and more embarrassing in the future!
Looking at the girl kneeling on the ground, there was still a faint smile between her eyebrows, and her bright red lips were a little white, with a trace of rising arc, but he saw an unspeakable stubbornness. For some reason, when he saw such Mu Qingya, he was a little unbearable: "Mu Qingya, since you know your mistake, then Naturally, I can't but punish you. Since you said you would embroider a perfect embroidery for me, I will punish you to embroider it as soon as possible! It's almost my birthday!"
Mu Qingya looked up with surprise and joy, and a pair of calm eyes with a glimmer of joy, which was like a ripple on the lake, with supreme beauty without any fluctuations!
"Yes, Qingya will live up to the emperor's expectations!"
Pearl was stunned. She never thought that her father would "punish" in this way. Is this punishment? This is obviously a reward for disguise! How can the daughter of a four-grade official be qualified to present gifts on the emperor's birthday? Now, the emperor not only allowed her to offer gifts, but also asked for it in person. With this special glory alone, Mu Qingya can receive the envy of all the ladies. What a great honor! My father actually gave a girl casually, or the girl against him! Holding her fist tightly, Pearl's face was very ugly!
Qin Jin lowered her head and raised the corners of her mouth. The glory given by the emperor himself is not a small honor, but for this honor, she offended countless young ladies of the family, and more importantly, there is the most difficult jade pearl. Ha ha, she should take a good look at how Mu Qingya should deal with it. ! I hope you don't lose too fast and too miserable!
Duanmuqing sat for a while and went to the front hall because the minister asked for a visit. Princess Pearl glanced at Mu Qingya with faint eyes: "Mu Qingya, your father's birthday is waiting for you to make perfect embroidery. You have to be well prepared. In case something goes wrong, it is not a shameful problem, which is a real crime of bullying the king!"
Mu Qingya: "Yes, thank you, Your Highness! I urge you to live up to the princess's high expectations!"
"Hmm!" He took a cold look at Mu Qingya, and the pearl directly led the people out of the palace! Because of Duan Muqing's words before, Mingzhu can no longer open her mouth to punish Mu Qingya. The anger that can't be dissipated accumulates in her chest and is uncomfortable, and she only feels that she doesn't like anything!
"Big Brother..."
Duanmu Lingyun nodded: "Pearl, aren't you holding a hundred flowers banquet? It's over so soon?"
"What a hundred flowers banquet, that's simply to make me angry! That hateful Mu Qingya, I will definitely make her look good!"
"Mu Qingya?" The eldest prince thought slightly, "The name is familiar. It seems that I have heard of it somewhere..."
"Have you heard of it? She was in Jiangnan before. Some time ago, she was led to Kyoto by her concubine's mother to celebrate Qin Taifu's birthday, but she didn't expect that this girl dared to openly fight against me!"
"Jiangnan, Mu Qingya... You're talking about Mu Yizhi's direct daughter... Humph, this Mu Yizhi is a big thing that has ruined me. These annoying things, royal sister, don't worry, even if you don't do anything, the royal brother will definitely make them look good!"
"Well, thank you, brother, but of course I won't let her go! Let's see what gift she wants to give to be perfect!"
Because of the indignant departure of the Pearl Princess, the Hundred Flowers Banquet was over. Although everyone's attitude towards Mu Qingya was much better on the surface, the gloating in their eyes became more and more intense! The emperor is the master of Yuhan, and it is naturally a blessing to be able to get the emperor's favoritism. However, for this great blessing to offend the Pearl Princess, then the hell on the earth will always look for your bad luck. I really don't know whether this Mu Qingya is lucky or unfortunate, and she actually received two kinds of preferential treatment at the same time!
The incident at the Hundred Flowers Banquet was soon spread out, and Qin Concubine asked Qin Jin and Mu Qingya to leave the palace after all kinds of instructions! Back in the yard, Mu Qingya lay on the couch, and her pale face scared Leqin and Leqi: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Qingya wants to be the head: "It's okay! Leqin went to tell her mother that she was tossed too much today. I was a little tired, so I went to bed first and didn't go to say good to her! Reassure your mother!"
"Yes!" Leqin looked at Mu Qingya worriedly and slowly left the room!
Leqi came forward and massaged Mu Qingya's shoulder with moderate strength: "Miss, I have heard that you want to send perfect embroidery at the emperor's birthday banquet, this..."
Mu Qingya opened her eyes and said, "I didn't expect this matter to spread quickly!"
"Miss, this gift is not easy to give. It's perfect. This requirement is very vague! Where can we be perfect? Moreover, there is still a long time before the emperor's birthday. There are too many changes. If someone takes the opportunity to suppress you, it will be difficult for you to turn over!"
"I'm not worried. What are you worried about? Anyway, I will use the temporary dilemma in exchange for the emperor's trust. No matter what price I have to pay, I must do it! Only in this way can my father gain a foothold in Kyoto. What is more powerful than the emperor's trust?
Leqi nodded: "That embroidery..."
"Don't worry, I have my own way! By the way, how's it going with my mother today?
"Madam's place is very good. There is nothing to do, because at your order, you didn't tell the master that your wife was pregnant!"
"Well, that's good. My father will arrive in about half a month, so let's announce that I will wholeheartedly practice embroidery skills, improve the needlework, and prepare gifts for the emperor. In the past few days, I will close the door to thank the guests and not go out!"
"Yes, Miss!"
"One more thing, you go and inform Duanmu Lingyu, it's time to do it!"
