Prosperous advisors

Chapter 140 Intrigue, garden farce (2)
But no matter how curious everyone was, they couldn't chase after Suchenghou's mansion to find out what was going on.Because it was already evening when they got the news, and tomorrow... is Huahuang's birthday, so no matter what they have to do, they have to wait until after the Longevity Festival is over.

Early the next morning, the people in Suchenghou's Mansion packed up and prepared to enter the palace.The Longevity Festival is all about excitement, so the restrictions on identity are much looser.Concubines like Sun's were also eligible to attend, but Mu Chen's biological mother was still left behind.

Outside Suchenghou's mansion, several carriages of Suchenghou's mansion were heard one by one.But the most conspicuous thing is a brand new yellow sandalwood carved carriage.The delicate patterns of auspicious clouds and phoenix dancing are carved on the carriage, lavender curtains and tassels are hung on the edge of the roof, and in front of it is a snow-white horse without a trace of hair.This is the frame of the princess who came out with the reward from the palace yesterday.

Seeing this carriage, which was obviously more luxurious than the other carriages in Suchenghou's Mansion, the eyes of the girls couldn't help but brighten up, looking at Mu Qingyi who came out of it, her face was full of envy and jealousy.It's just that Mu Qingyi was wearing a goose-yellow shirt embroidered with the dark pattern of flying phoenix, and a white snow silk gauze dress over it.The black hair is loosely rolled up, the silver phoenix hairpin inlaid with sapphires, which can only be used as a princess, is in the hair, and the light blue palace sash surrounds the slender waist, which looks elegant but cannot conceal the nobleness. Her attire made everyone have to think of her identity at this time - the Imperial Princess Changning, much higher than her grandfather and father's title.

Mu Yunrong glared at Mu Qingyi even more jealously. Although Mu Qingyi's face was covered with a light complexion, she clearly knew that under the veil must be a face riddled with holes.But seeing Mu Qingyi walk out, Mu Yunrong couldn't stop the panic in her heart.She had never been so clearly aware that this half-sister who had been bullied by her was so beautiful.Fortunately... Fortunately, she has been disfigured!Otherwise, she will definitely take everything from her.Mu Yunrong suddenly rejoiced secretly in her heart, she was extremely sure that if Mu Qingyi still kept that beautiful face, then she would definitely take everything from herself with ease.

If Mu Qingyi knew what Mu Yunrong was thinking at this time, she would laugh secretly that she was thinking too much.The current Mu Yunrong... is there anything else she can grab?
Mu Qingyi didn't look at the people who stared at her with different eyes, but directly got into the carriage while holding Zhu'er's hand.There are many masters in the palace, and there are many people in the capital who know Wuxin.So Wuxin couldn't enter the palace with her, so Mu Qingyi only brought Zhu'er and Ying'er.

Seeing that Mu Qingyi didn't even intend to talk to them from the beginning to the end, the faces of the women in Suchenghou's mansion were extremely embarrassed.Seeing that Mu Yunrong wanted to go up to find Mu Qingyi's theory, Mrs. Mu snorted softly, and said in a deep voice, "Isn't that embarrassing enough? Let's go!" Holding the girl's hand, she walked to her carriage.Although Sun is now the actual hostess of Suchenghou's Mansion, she has no name. Unless Mu Changming is with her, she can only squeeze with Mu Yunrong or Mu Yufei and Mu Shuilian.But now, Mu Changming obviously didn't have the mind to pay attention to her grievances.He took Mu Ling and Mu Chen away directly.

In the palace, the palace, which was always quiet and dull in the past, was very lively this day.Early on, the dignitaries of the capital entered the palace to celebrate Emperor Hua's birthday.However, the real banquet can only be held at night. At noon during the day, the ministers still need to follow the emperor out of the palace to sacrifice to heaven, while the female relatives stay in the palace to be entertained by the empress and high-ranking concubines.Therefore, as soon as they entered the palace, the male guests and the female relatives were divided into two groups. Officials and clans with official positions went to the Qinzheng Palace of the previous dynasty to meet the king, while the female relatives were led by the servants in the palace to meet the queen in the harem.

There are also those men who are not low-born but have no official position. They are neither qualified to follow the emperor to sacrifice to heaven, nor to meet the queen, so they are led by the servants to a water pavilion by the lake next to the imperial garden in the palace to drink. Tea.In the past, Mu Ling followed to sacrifice to the heavens, but this year he unfortunately became one of them. He could only watch gloomyly as Mu Chen followed Mu Changming to meet the emperor, while he was led by his servants to the capital for a leisurely stay. Go to the place where the dudes gather.

The saddest thing is that Mu Ling is not welcome even in such a place.After all, the previous rumors were too nasty. It's true that these playboys love to play and make trouble but don't do business, but there are really not many who like Nanfeng.Even if there were, few of them would show it aboveboard, so there were rumors about it, and even Mu Ling, who was said to be caught in bed, naturally became the object of alienation from everyone.So Mu Ling could only sit alone in the most inconspicuous corner drinking, his gloomy face and bloodshot eyes could not help but avoid him.

On the other side, the female family members of Suchenghou's mansion were led to the Xiande Hall in the harem to meet the queen.Followed by the servant leading the way, Mrs. Mu was still the one who walked the shallowest, and Mu Qingyi just followed behind Mrs. Mu lightly.As for Mu Yunrongsun and Mu Yufei, Mu Shuilian could only follow behind.With the original identity of Mu Qingyi, there is nothing wrong with walking in front of Mrs. Mu.But Mrs. Mu is still an elder after all. Although there is nothing to say about Mu Qingyi's etiquette when walking in front of her, it will make people feel that she is overwhelmed by favor and pride.

As soon as she stepped into the hall, Mu Qingyi immediately felt that almost all eyes in the hall were on her in an instant.Emperor Hua canonized a princess for no reason, without outstanding meritorious service, nor with familiar virtues, and it is even impossible to get married.How can such a woman not make everyone curious?Looking at Mu Qingyi's veil that was the same as before, many people couldn't help feeling a strange feeling of envy and jealousy, but also regret and sympathy.If Mu Qingyi's appearance was intact, everyone would be jealous of her good luck.But she has already been disfigured, so what if a disfigured woman can be named a princess?I'm afraid that if she doesn't have the title of princess, it's hard to say whether Miss Mu will be able to marry in the future.Thinking about it this way, most people feel balanced again.

"I have seen the Empress, the Concubine Rong, and the Concubine Rou." All the people in Suchenghou's residence bowed in unison.

From the status of concubines in the palace, it can be seen that Emperor Hua is indeed a mean and ungrateful emperor.According to the rules in the Huaguo Palace, there should be two noble concubines under the queen, four concubines, six concubines, nobles, etc. There is no fixed number.However, it has been nearly 30 years since Emperor Hua ascended the throne. Except for Princess Minghui's deceased mother concubine Wang who has been named a noble concubine, the highest rank is only concubine.For example, currently the only concubines in the palace are Mu Feiluan, Concubine Rou, and Concubine Rong Wei, the biological mother of the Eighth Prince.Before that, Murong Yu's biological mother Zhu Shi was originally a concubine, but was demoted to Yun Concubine by Murong Yu's brothers.As for the biological mothers of the third and fifth princes, they are still concubines, and the birth mother of the first prince, Fu Wang, has only been conferred a nobleman after her death.
