Chapter 238 Surprise
Leqi originally wanted to persuade, but when she saw Mu Qingya's insistence and swallowed the words, she couldn't help but be more worried. Queen Han Xilian has also seen it. Although the queen is beautiful and gentle, she always feels a sense of discord, and she is even laughed at by her. His eyes felt his back tighten when he saw it, which felt like facing some flood and beast, and his heart trembled uncontrollably.
Mu Qingya sank her eyes, coiled her hair by herself, inserted a shiny jasper hollow gold step and shook it. The emotion in her heart rolled little by little. She didn't expect to hear the news of Phoenix's blood jade so quickly, and it was still on a queen that she couldn't see through. Thinking that the queen was beside the emperor Mo Ao that day With the graceful news, her eyes deepened slightly. The queen is definitely not simple, but is she the manipulator behind the poison? No matter how you look at it, it reveals a strangeness. As the queen of a country, her words and deeds have received unparalleled attention. If she wants to control the poison in the harem, she does not notice any clues. This can be said to be an extremely difficult thing, and there are countless people needed. In the palace, Didn't anyone notice it? Moreover, the queen is the direct daughter of the Han family. Why does she manipulate and poison people with such a status? What kind of people are behind her? What role does Emperor Mo Ao of Canglan play in it? These questions keep hovering in Mu Qingya's heart, making her heart heavier and heavier.
took a slight breath and said goodbye to the last hairpin. Mu Qingya got up and sorted out the tassels around her waist: "Leqi, go with me, green willow, you wait here."
"Yes, miss."
The queen lives in Chaoyang Palace, the largest palace in the harem. Because of her favor, the Chaoyang Palace has been renovated and expanded a few years ago. For this reason, the emperor also specially ordered the demolition of the two palaces in the east and the relocation of a concubine to another palace, which made the courtiers very dissatisfied. He wrote many times to advise the emperor, not only It took effect, but annoyed the emperor and rebuked the ministers of the above. After hearing this, the queen was very sad. She knelt down and begged the emperor to take back the imperial edict and not to hurt the people for her. The emperor's pity for her was even more serious. He said bluntly that the queen was a model of Canglan women, let all the women enter the palace to worship, and specially took Chaoyang Palace. The specifications have been upgraded to a higher level, and it looks more and more magnificent.
As soon as Mu Qingya walked to the door with Leqi, an Mami came up and said, "I've seen Princess Mu."
Mu Qingya received half a salute. Mother Zhao was the old man beside the queen. Since the queen entered the palace, she served her: "Mother Zhao is polite. Qingya took the liberty to ask to see the queen. I'm sorry to wait here." Mu Qingya was not surprised that the people around the queen knew that they had come to see her. She was surprised that there was no queen among the maids around her.
"The queen has heard that the county master is coming for a long time, so she let the maidservant wait here. The princess will come with the maidservant." Mother Zhao looked at Mu Qingya from head to toe and nodded with satisfaction. This princess was really good and inferior to the princesses in the palace. However, I heard that although Mu Qingya was a princess, she was just a woman who could raise such a daughter and send her to Canglan. I'm afraid it's the credit of Emperor Yuhan.
As soon as she entered Chaoyang Palace, she felt extremely warm. The maids around her stood in two rows. They lowered their eyebrows and could not see any mistakes. They seemed to know that the rules were extremely superior. Even Mu Qingya had to admire when she saw it. Which of these maids went out was more elegant than those ladies of the family. Looking at the queen sitting on the upper chair with a teacup, Mu Qingya came forward and saluted respectfully: "Mu Qingya has seen the queen."
Empress Han Xilian looked up slightly at Mu Qingya, who was half squatting under her to salute. A strange streamer flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her lips became more and more gentle and virtuous: "Princess, don't be polite. Hanlan, sit down.
As soon as the words were finished, a maid of honor quickly moved the embroidered stool. Mu Qingya thanked her for sitting down and heard the queen's gentle voice: "Princess Qingya, some time ago, I heard that something happened to you lived with the imperial concubine, and only asked someone to send you some medicinal herbs. Are you all right now?"
"If you go back to your mother, Qingya is fine, thanks to the rescue of the third prince." The fact that Mo Junqing saved her is now known to the world, and there is no need for her to hide it.
Hearing her words, the queen nodded with satisfaction. The girl was smart and knew that it was useless to play tricks: "Well, that's good."
"Qingya has been thinking about the Empress, but in order to save me, the third prince has been in poor health and has not been stable until now. Therefore, Qingya hurried over to have a look and asked the Empress not to blame."
"How can I blame you?"
At the door, a girl in a light green palace costume came in and knelt in front of the queen and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness has come to say good wishes to you."
"Please come in." The queen straightened her sitting posture and said gently.
Mu Qingya got up and said, "Mother, since Your Highness came to greet your mother, then Qingya will leave first."
"No, the prince is just here to comfort him." The queen smiled at her and said, "Don't mind. Canglan is different from Yuhan. There are not so many rules for unmarried men and women. In addition, with this palace, no one will dare to say anything nonsense. The prince just came to say greetings and will leave later.
"Yes." Mu Qingya agreed and stood up to occupy one side. Her eyes drooped slightly and blocked the light in her eyes. Canglan was different from Yuhan. I'm afraid that the difference the queen said was a big defense of men and women. As a queen who grew up in Canglan, she knew something about Yuhan, but would she really understand this extent? It doesn't matter if men and women meet each other with elders present. Do you know it clearly? Although there are exchanges between the two countries, it was a long time ago. The queen knew that these were not easy. The first thing she thought of was that she had specially studied Yuhan!
Prince Mo Junming strode in in his gorgeous clothes, with a gentle smile on his handsome face and bowed to the queen: "I respectfully invite my mother to be safe."
"The prince doesn't need much courtesy. Why did you come here a little early today, but helped your father finish the matter?"
The prince restrained when he heard the words: "After returning to his mother, the father did not let his ministers enter the palace to help deal with political affairs today."
The queen narrowed her eyes slightly and moved the injured bracelet inlaid with ruby: "Well, the mother knows that the emperor is in good condition these two days. You don't have to say good when you have nothing to do, so you don't have to come to your mother sooner or later."
"Yes, I know."
The dialogue between mother and son has no substantive content, but it makes Mu Qingya feel like a light on her back. Although the queen's words are true, why did they say them in front of her? These words are not what she should listen to. What does she plan to do?
Before the prince withdrew, he accidentally saw Mu Qingya, and the smile on his face was a little sincere. After seeing her, he slowly withdrew.
Mu Qingya restrained her mind: "Empress, Qingya has taken the liberty to come here. It has taken a lot of time. She is also tired to see her. She will come to see her another day."
The queen nodded: "Well, you are a careful girl. I originally wanted to talk to you. How can I be so taboo? Let's see if it scares you. What kind of flood beast is this palace?"
Mu Qingya quickly smiled and said, "Your mother laughed. You are beautiful and fairy-looking. Qingya feels ashamed in front of the Empress. If you want to leave, it's just looks at the mother's eyebrows and doesn't dare to disturb the queen's rest."
"Ha ha, you girl can speak. Mother Zhao, take out the set of ruby head I prepared for the princess and let the princess take it back to enjoy. Well, Qingya, I won't keep you in this palace today. Go back."
"Yes, Qingya left."
Walking out of the door of Chaoyang Palace, Mu Qingya took a deep breath. The palm of her hand was slightly wet with sweat. She looked back at the magnificent palace, and her eyes flashed with a cold light. The woman who could occupy the emperor's favorite for decades was really not ordinary.
Out of the palace gate, Leqi quickly greeted her. Seeing that Mu Qingya's face was fine, she was relieved. She took the reward in her hand and asked softly, "Miss, how are you?"
Mu Qingya nodded: "Well, I'm fine. I'm fine."
"Princess Mu, the prince asked me to invite the princess in the water pavilion not far away." As soon as Mu Qingya went out without two steps, she was stopped by an eunuch.
Hearing this, Mu Qingya's eyes moved, prince? They are just one side by chance. How could he invite himself? However, she wanted to meet this unique prince: "Leqi, you go back first. I'll go back and ask my father-in-law to lead the way."
"Yes, princess, please." The father-in-law narrowed his eyes with a smile and bowed his body.
Leqi nodded and did not shirk. The prince wants to see the young lady. This matter is definitely not ordinary. It is better to inform the third prince. Although she does not trust the third prince, it is even more unrexin xin as the son of the queen!
Mu Qingya saw that the eunuch did not stop Leqi from leaving, and thought a little more. Originally, she thought that Canglan was different from Yuhan's folk customs. Looking at Canglan's national customs, she knew that Canglan people were more unrestrained and courteous. The rules should not be too strict in this palace, but she didn't think that she was completely wrong. Look at the Queen's Palace. Those maids, and the eunuch with the same distance every step in front of her, suddenly had a feeling that the root of all this must come from the queen!
When Mother Zhao saw Mu Qingya leave, she secretly raised the corners of her lips, returned to the queen's room, and said respectfully, "Mother, I saw the prince's people coming to invite Princess Mu."
The queen turned her wrist bracelet and blinked slowly: "Well, I know. Don't worry about him. The prince is old, and he naturally doesn't want to talk to me as a mother, so let him suffer a little."
"The Empress, and the eldest princess..." When Mother Zhao thought of the news some time ago, she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart. How can such a proud person as the eldest princess...
The queen snorted coldly: "It's useless, it's good to die early. Don't worry about her. You keep an eye on this harem, and the concubine Li, pay attention to her people."
"Yes, Madam."
