cute husband

Chapter 122 The Secret of Chaos (2)
Although I guessed that it might be the eldest grandson Rongji's person, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

"En." Mu Xue nodded, and then said: "Six days later is the day when Sister Long and Prince Wu will get married. A message came from the General's Mansion, asking if Sister Long is going to get married in the General's Mansion or the Princess's Mansion."

Are there no mandatory orders?

Shui Long thinks that General Bai has always respected her wishes.

"It's in the princess mansion." Shui Long said.

After all, she is not her biological daughter, and General Bai has treated her with the utmost benevolence.Given the current situation in Xiling, if she behaved too close to the General's Mansion, it would be tantamount to involving General Bai's family and attracting prying eyes from all surrounding forces.

"Okay." Mu Xue calculated that she would send someone to the general's mansion later.Then he remembered something again, and said to Shuilong with a smile on his face: "By the way, Sister Long's wedding dress is almost ready, and I can bring the finished product tomorrow, so Sister Long should give it a try."

Shuilong nodded, "I asked you to prepare another thing, is it ready?"

"Not yet, but Sister Long will be able to finish it before she gets married." Mu Xue said, "I didn't expect Prince Wu to be able to find such a precious insect Gu, and even said to repay the gift." Blinking, showing a little teasing.

She understood that if Shuilong hadn't spoken for her, she would not have received the double compensation if she asked Changsun Rongji to return the little peeping Gu.

"The benefits are brought to you, don't take them for nothing." Shui Long said softly and indifferently.

Mu Xue had nothing to say.

"The servants see the princess."

A servant girl from the mansion suddenly rushed in from outside.

"What's the matter?" Shuilong asked.

The maid said: "Someone came from the palace and said that it was the Queen Mother's edict. Please go to the front hall to receive the edict."

Mu Xue frowned slightly upon hearing this.Ever since she heard Bai Lingrui's words in General Bai's mansion, she has been a little scruples about the Queen Mother.Afterwards, she also sent the news to the master, asking the master to help investigate the Queen Mother and the assassination, but the master has not sent any news until now.

Shui Long stood up and sighed: "It really doesn't make people idle for a moment."

Mu Xue scolded with a smile, "It's clear that I have time to rest, and Elder Sister Long doesn't want to rest either."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up after I rest." Shui Long smiled lightly, but her heart skipped a beat suddenly.

She couldn't really relax and rest in her current situation, but she clearly remembered that she was able to let herself rest when she was by Changsun Rongji's side.This kind of unquestionable trust, whether it is the trust in Changsun Rongji's strength or the trust in himself, is far beyond ordinary people.

"Sister Long?" Mu Xue keenly noticed Shui Long's absence.

Shui Long shook her head, "It's okay."

This feeling is not entirely a liking for one's own possessions.When she gradually grasped him in her hands, she was also slowly sinking into it, but she didn't know what the final result would be.

The sky is blue, the wind is blowing and the clouds are relaxing, the palace below is surrounded by high walls, and the endless eaves of watchtowers are looming, like a boundless picture scroll, majestic.

A sedan chair was carried into the palace, and then into the Xiangming Palace where the Empress Dowager lived.

After the sedan chair stopped, Shui Long, dressed in elegant but not extravagant clothes, stepped out of the sedan chair.Under the leadership of the eunuchs in the palace, they walked into the garden of Xiangming Palace, and at a glance, they saw the Queen Mother Huang wearing plain clothes, holding a round spoon to fill the water in the bucket next to her, and watering the flower beds.

The sun was shining brightly on the Empress Dowager Huang, making her plain clothes seem to be covered with light, and her snow-white skin was also moistened with jade. With a pair of drooping eyebrows and eyes, looking at the soft light of the flowers in front of her, she seemed to be able to Drowning out of the water, there was a slight smile on her lips, and there was a girlish elegance in her grace, she was like a fairy among flowers, touching people's hearts.

It's no wonder that the first emperor doted on this empress dowager alone. At the age of [-], she still has such a charming temperament. How beautiful she was when she was young.

At this time, Empress Dowager Huang seemed to have noticed Shuilong's arrival, she looked up and saw her, and waved to her, "Huayang, come here quickly."

Shuilong walked towards her, looked at the smile on Empress Dowager Huang's face, and became a little more wary of her.

Before, she was threatened and lured to ask her to withdraw from the engagement, but then she was beaten up by the eldest grandson Rongji, so she couldn't help but lose his wife and lose his army.She should be angry no matter what, and she shouldn't be nice to herself.But the Empress Dowager Huang in front of her had a gentle and elegant smile, without any trace of anger on her expression, she seemed to like Shuilong very much.

Shui Long walked to her side and was about to greet her when the Empress Dowager grabbed her hands.

"Six days later, Hua Yang will be the daughter-in-law of the Ai family, so how can you be so polite."

Shui Longxin said: "The current empress is also your daughter-in-law, but I don't see her being rude to you in the past, she must be polite and thoughtful in every word and action, but now she tells me that you are not polite, is she really deceiving me as a little girl?"
She didn't think Queen Mother Huang would like herself much.

"Huayang, look, does this flower grow beautifully?" Queen Mother Huang took Shuilong's hand, pointed to a flowerbed below her, and asked her.

Shui Long looked around and unexpectedly discovered that the flower garden was planted with poppies, the famous poisonous flowers.Modern people know that poppies are not easy to grow, but the poppies in the flower garden of the Empress Dowager Huang grow very well. The plants are gorgeous and gorgeous, and the blood-red petals are thick to a certain extent. Stunning and beautiful.

"It's pretty." Shui Longying said.

The Empress Dowager Huang said with a smile: "This kind of flower is called Poppy. It is produced in foreign countries, and it is rare in Xiling." She stretched out her hand to touch the petals of the poppy, and whispered softly like a spring spring. , but in fact it is very fragile, and it needs good care from people to grow and bloom. You see, its rhizome is so slender that it will be broken if it is lightly broken."

Shui Long watched the Queen Mother Huang lightly pinch a poppy with her finger, then cut off the poppy and held it in her hand, smiling lightly at herself.

Her smile was so gentle that she could drown in water, but against the backdrop of the poppy painting, Shui Long had an extremely weird feeling, the Queen Mother Huang in front of her was indeed very strange.

When I saw her last time, I just felt that she was better at disguising and more powerful than ordinary women in deep palaces.But after hearing those words from Bai Lingrui, and seeing the Queen Mother Huang again, the strange feeling became more obvious.

She knew that the Empress Dowager Huang ordered her to come to see her, and it was absolutely impossible just for the trivial matter of admiring the flowers.

Thinking of this, Shui Long followed the words of Queen Mother Huang unhurriedly and said, "It is indeed very fragile."

"It is not only fragile, but also poisonous." The Queen Mother Huang took a deep look at Shuilong, then lowered her eyes to look at the poppy in her hand, and gently stroked its petals with her fingers, "It can make people hallucinate, once taken for a long time You will become addicted and lose your own rationality."
