The queen mother is charming

Chapter 168
Eunuch Lu finally finished reading, entrusted the imperial decree to Mu Qingchao, and wanted to please Shen Muchi: "Your Majesty cares about the Queen Mother so much, the Queen Mother is really a blessing."

Mu Qingchao: "This blessing will be sent to you by Aijia."

Eunuch Lu: ...

He was choked, but there was nothing he could do.

We all know that the Empress Dowager is too lazy to perfunctory her majesty now, so what is he?
Eunuch Lu knew how much he weighed, so he didn't dare to rush into trouble, so he left resentfully after saying a few words.

"Qiangwei, put these things away." Mu Qingchao ordered after Eunuch Lu left.

"But...don't the Empress Dowager choose two pieces that you like? They are all good things. Tonight is New Year's Eve. It's good to wear two casually for a festive look."

"No." Mu Qingchao said.

"Aijia feels disgusting even looking at it more."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Ai's family is exhausted, I want to rest, and serve Ai's family to freshen up."

"So early?" Chunya was a little surprised.

"There's nothing left and right, it's very cold, it's better to be warm on the bed."

Counting the time, Ji Ying Hall should give a banquet on New Year's Eve. In previous years, Mu Qingchao would also go at this time, but in this year's situation, Shen Muchi would definitely not let him go.

So what if we go?
Nor did she have much interest in those occasions.

The only pity is that Mu Yin will have the opportunity to enter the palace around this year, if she can go, she might be able to see Mu Yin.

It must be strange for Mu Yin not to see her on New Year's Eve, right?

What would she think?Will you go back and tell your mother?

Mu Qingchao's thoughts drifted away involuntarily, and then he shook his head again.

Forget it, forget it, don't think about it.

What's the use of thinking about it?Her current situation is nothing more than saving her life.

Live a day as long as you can.

When Chunya was combing Mu Qingchao's hair, Qiangwei suddenly rushed in excitedly.

"Queen... Queen..." Chunya shouted excitedly, "Win, win..."

"What...won?" Mu Qingchao asked.

"My lord!"

Qiangwei rushed to her side: "The news from the front, the prince and Bei Qi won the first battle, and took back the three cities that Bei Qi originally robbed us?"

"Really?"

When Mu Qingchao heard these words, his sleepy mood was swept away.

This was the first good news she had heard in a long time.

"Could it be false? The news came back today at a fast pace. I heard people say that His Majesty is in front of you and wants to reward the world."

Qiangwei said "crackling", as if she had won a battle.

When Mu Qingchao heard her say this, he suddenly became unhappy again.

After all, this battle was fought for Shen Muchi.

In the future, if Jiang Bo really broke the Northern Qi Dynasty and returned to Jinling, according to Shen Muchi's temperament, he would have to kill the donkey.

Ugh……

Mu Qingchao sighed inwardly, now that Chaoyun Palace has layers of leaders, she can't even deliver a letter.

While I was in a dilemma, I suddenly heard a "pop" sound outside.

When the time comes, the sky is colorful, illuminating the dark Chaoyun Temple brightly and flickeringly.

"It's fireworks..." Chunya said excitedly.

"Queen, look, it's fireworks, so beautiful..."

"Yes, it's fireworks..."

But Mu Qingchao was always lacking in interest. She remembered that at this time last year, she and Jiang Bo had set up wishing lanterns by the Qinhuai Lake.

Before I knew it, a year had passed.

She really didn't expect that she would experience so many things this year.

It never occurred to me that looking back on the past so many New Year's Eves, only last year was the happiest.

I don't know if he is doing well in the frontier, if he is full, and if he will be homesick...

Thinking of these things, she accidentally took out the little jasmine hairpin from the interlayer of the dressing box.

She pinned the hairpin in her hair, and looked at herself in the mirror when no one was around.

"The Emperor is here!"

At this time, there was another singing sound outside the door.

As soon as Mu Qingchao heard this voice, she became nervous. During this period of time, this chanting has become her nightmare.

Now is the time, shouldn't Shen Muchi give a banquet at the Hall of Valor?How come to her?

Before she had time to think about it, she casually took an outer garment and put it on her body, stood up and bowed to the door.

Then I saw a black figure walking in.

Mu Qingchao looked at him outside the house, took off the cloak on his body, and handed it to Eunuch Lu's hand, before he stepped into the house.

He seemed to be drunk, his feet were a little vain, and his face was a little blush.

Mu Qingchao didn't dare to raise his head and look directly at him, so he just lowered his head and said, "I don't know if His Majesty came here to welcome you, please forgive me."

These are just polite words. Here, he comes whenever he wants, and he never greets her. What else does he need to "welcome from afar"?
Shen Muchi continued: "It's my sudden visit, I don't blame you."

The conversation between the two was a little ridiculous, polite and blunt, like a routine.

Shen Muchi was talking, and stepped forward to help Mu Qingchao get up.

As soon as he grabbed her hand, he obviously felt her hand tremble.

Mu Qingchao obviously wanted to shrink back, but his hand was tightly held by him, but he couldn't break free at all.

"You go back first."

Shen Muchi instructed the servants of Chaoyun Hall.

Qiangwei and Chunya were suffocated.

Every time His Majesty comes, he will push them away, but these days, they have seen the relationship between the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, so why don't they worry?
Even if you don't want to, there is nothing you can do.

"Yes Yes……"

They responded with a sound and stepped back three times.

The door of the palace was closed, and Mu Qingchao looked at Shen Muchi in front of him.

"Why is Your Majesty here with me at this time?"

The tone of voice was polite, but her resistance could be seen from her slightly retreating footsteps and dodging expression.

"Are you so afraid of me?" He was a little displeased.

Then it slowed down again.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

He didn't know if it was because he was drunk today, he seemed to be less hostile than usual, he said: "I just want to come and see you."

At this time, the fireworks outside the window "crackling" are burning most enthusiastically.

Shen Muchi turned her head, looked at the scene outside, lost her mind for a moment.

"Do you like watching fireworks?" he asked.

"It just so happens that I really, really don't like it!" Mu Qingchao gritted his teeth.

But he laughed, "Exactly, I don't like it either."

Mu Qingchao: ...

He said, "You can take a look with me."

He took her hand and stood in front of the window.

The location of Chaoyun Hall is very good, it is facing east, and the four directions are open, just enough to see all the fireworks in the sky.

I can only see those fireworks, burning in the sky with extreme enthusiasm, and in a blink of an eye, they are like stars falling, and then they are icy and silent.

Shen Muchi raised his head and looked at the sky, the light of fireworks flickered on his face.

It took a long time before Mu Qingchao heard him say: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, I have been waiting for someone who can watch the fireworks with me."

He seemed to have really drank too much, and suddenly he felt a lot more emotional.

"Last New Year's Eve, I asked Lu Xi to come to Chaoyun Palace to look for you, but you were not there. At that time, were you with Jiang Bo?"
