The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 700 Invitation
While Mu Jinxi was talking, her hands had already started to move, and she unpacked the outer packaging, completely exposing the wallpaper inside.She had informed the wallpaper craftsmen of the area of ​​the walls of each private room in advance, so these wallpapers should not be wasted too much. She had never tried it before, and everything was judged based on the relevant knowledge in her mind.

Fortunately, the wallpaper here is not as complicated as the modern ones, it is relatively simple, and she should be able to handle it well.

While Mu Jinxi was talking about the method of pasting the wallpaper and the things to pay attention to, she asked Jue Lin to help. At the beginning, Juelin's movements were obviously blunt. Even with Mu Jinxi's guidance, he was in a hurry. Being patient, Jue Lin slowly got to know each other. There was still a tacit understanding between the two of them, and they worked together to paste the first piece of wallpaper on the wall smoothly.

After a lot of hard work, both of them were already sweating a little. Jue Lin took a look and found that the windows in the private room were closed, and there was no wind at all. No wonder it was so hot, but he didn't open the windows rashly. , but asked: "Jin'er, why don't you open this window? Is it not open, or have you forgotten?"

Mu Jinxi wiped off her sweat, and said: "I locked it up, because this wallpaper, it's best not to let the wind blow after it's just pasted, otherwise it may not stick firmly, and if it falls off, it won't go away." Well, it's a waste of effort. So you have to wait to open the window. Are you hot? Do you want to go out and take a rest?"

Jue Lin said with some amusement, "You don't feel tired or hot, so how could I feel that?" Wouldn't it be embarrassing to call him tired after doing so little work?
Mu Jinxi smiled and said: "That's true, if you call yourself tired, I will look down on you."

Jue Lin originally wanted to reach out and rub the top of her head, but seeing that his hand was already dirty from the busy work just now, he retracted it halfway and said, "Is it okay to stick it on like this?"

Looking at the newly pasted wallpaper, Jue Lin said, "Looking at it this way is very similar to painting patterns on the wall."

"Yeah, it's just that it's more convenient than drawing patterns on the wall, isn't it? If I want to change this pattern in the future, I can just change another wallpaper. If it's painted on, I have to wash it off." The original pattern, if there are too many times, will always affect the integrity of the wall, right? If you paste wallpaper, it will not."

"Well, that's true. It's much more convenient to put wallpaper on, and it won't damage the wall. And if you get tired of looking at it, you can change it to your favorite pattern. It's just that it's more expensive to make it with paper, and only Dafu The family can use this." Jue Lin felt a little pity.

Mu Jinxi snorted softly, "I'm the only one who can make these wallpapers now, besides me, do you think anyone else can make them?"

She has beaten the workers who made the wallpaper for her. If they sell the wallpaper without her consent, it is an infringement, and she can sue them.They may not understand what infringement is, but do they understand infringement?If they did it in private, it would be a violation of her interests and they would have to pay a price!She is the only one in the entire capital who knows how to do it. If this kind of thing appears in other houses, it is obvious that those craftsmen have betrayed the news, and she can find out when she checks it.

If they are obedient, they can continue to cooperate in the future, otherwise it will be like this.

After hearing this, Jue Lin asked casually: "Then do you plan to open a store that specializes in selling this kind of wallpaper in the future?"

Mu Jinxi was startled, then patted herself on the forehead and said softly: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this before, I am the only one here who knows how to make this kind of wallpaper, if I open a store to sell this kind of wallpaper A store that grows wallpaper, it will definitely make a lot of money!"

"..." Could it be that he reminded her?Juelin wished he could take back what he said just now.

Mu Jinxi looked at Jue Lin with bright eyes and said: "Jue Lin, I really want to thank you for reminding me, otherwise I really would not have thought of using this to make money! Hey, I have been really busy these days!"

Juelin felt even more uncomfortable. Why did he feel that Jin'er would be busier and busier in the future?

A person's energy is limited, if Jin'er has been so busy, will she still have time for her family?Is there still time for him and Xiaobao?

Even if he knew this was the case, he wouldn't regret it. Who told him to provoke her a few years ago?After a few years, they can still get in touch again, which shows that this is a fate arranged by God, and neither of them can avoid it. The years of separation in the middle are just to make each other more mature and stable.

"Okay, let's continue if you're not tired! I'm worried about letting those artisans post it, so I have to come here by myself. I'll call Qiu Ju over tomorrow... Hey, should I call Mo Xuerui over to help?" What about it?" While talking, Mu Jinxi was a little undecided.

Back then, she dug a hole for Mo Xuerui to dance. This was not a joke. She really planned to let Mo Xuerui come here to help. Before, it was not easy for girls to intervene, and they couldn't intervene, but now it's different Yes, although putting up wallpaper is quite hard work, girls can do it too. If Mo Xuerui doesn't put in some effort at this time, wouldn't her hard work digging a hole for her be in vain?
It's just that she was worried that Mo Xuerui, a delicate young lady who didn't understand anything, would come to help when the time came, and if the wallpaper wasn't pasted up for her, and if it was damaged instead, it would be a big loss for her.Money is a small matter, but making wallpaper is a big trouble!
So should she call Mo Xuerui over to have a grind?Mu Jinxi was very hesitant.

Jue Lin was taken aback when she heard her words, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and asked uncertainly, "Jin'er, who did you call to help?"

Mu Jinxi didn't understand, so she looked at him and said, "Qiu Ju! Oh, and Mo Xuerui, she promised to do a small job for me, and I really mean it."

"No, you, when did you have such a good relationship with Mo Xuerui?" Jue Lin was a little confused.

When did Jin'er get involved with Mo Xuerui?Doesn't Jin'er know about Mo Xuerui, she...and Mo Xuerui is really problematic, he doesn't want Jin'er to suffer any harm from her.

Mu Jinxi blinked and said: "I don't have a good relationship with her. It's because of a bad relationship that I asked her to help. She is a rich lady. Asking her to do something that you seem to be very low is to torture her. , you know?"

"You want to torture her? Isn't that the way to torture her?" Jue Lin felt that this was a bit strange.

Mu Jinxi's pretty face suddenly sank, she stared at Jue Lin gloomyly and asked unhappily: "Are you worried that I will do something to Mo Xuerui and hurt her? Are you distressed?"

Jue Lin was startled, and quickly shook his head and waved his hands and said, "Jin'er, what are you talking about? Why am I worried about her? I am worried about you! You don't know that Mo Xuerui, she is the prostitute of Duke Mo, She has always been favored by Duke Mo, she has an unruly temperament, she can do anything, if you ask her to come here to help, I'm afraid it will be a disservice!"

Mu Jinxi stared at Jue Lin for a while, and after confirming that the worried expression on his face was aimed at her and not others, his face returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Oh, don't worry, will I be a person who suffers? Mo Xuerui's stats won't cause any trouble here, since I dare to call her over, I'm sure I won't let her cause trouble here."

She said so, but Jue Lin was still very worried, and wanted to persuade her to change her mind, "Jin'er, just listen to me, Mo Xuerui is like a lunatic, you'd better stay away from her. If You don't have enough manpower, I can get someone to help you, you don't need to let Mo Xuerui come, and what can she do, she is spoiled, she doesn't understand anything, if she is not careful, she may annoy the people in the Duke Mo's mansion, When the time comes, won’t you—”

"Juelin, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I don't think there is any need to worry. This is what Mo Xuerui agreed to, and I didn't force her to come. Are you sorry to trouble me? Besides, aren’t you and your little cousin still here? Okay, okay, you don’t have to worry about it. When the time comes, don’t come here, lest Mo Xuerui see you Get entangled again, you are mine now." Mu Jinxi reminded.

Jue Lin smiled wryly and said, "Even if you don't remind me, I will pay attention." He didn't want Mo Xuerui to be entangled. Going too far, otherwise he would have...

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

"Come on, come on, let's get busy today, if we can't finish it, we can continue tomorrow!" Mu Jinxi yelled to get the dazed Jue Lin to start working again.

The two of them worked in the red building for a long time before they finally pasted up the wallpaper of one of the private rooms. Jue Lin was also used by Mu Jinxi as a temporary installer to install some small objects. , There is a preliminary prototype in the private room. Not only Mu Jinxi, but even Jue Lin thinks it is very interesting to decorate the private room in this way. It is unique and very pleasing to the eye. like.

Mu Jinxi also felt very satisfied looking at it. There is still a little later, the decoration will be completely completed, and when other things are in place one after another, the opening will be ready at a certain time.

Oh, and there is also the extraction of essential oils. She has already extracted a batch of essential oils with the distiller she made. You can use them first, and then take your time later. Don’t worry, as long as you have raw materials and machines, you are not afraid of poor extraction. to essential oils.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Jinxi was too embarrassed to let Jue Lin follow her to work for most of the day, and after finishing the work, she just sent her away, so she invited Jue Lin to a nearby restaurant to finish her meal before going back.

Jue Lin was naturally very happy about this, and happily followed her into a restaurant. The two walked in together, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.But fortunately, there are not many daughters in this period of time, and the son and brother are still strolling outside, so the two of them can finally have a quiet meal. After the meal, Mu Jinxi didn't let Jue Lin see her off, Instead, he went back by himself in a carriage.

After two days like this, Mu Jinxi just returned to the mansion that day when she heard that someone had posted a post for her, and it was the eldest princess!

She was stunned immediately when she heard the servant's words, the eldest concubine?who?She doesn't know him?Why did you suddenly post to her?

Not only Mu Jinxi was puzzled, but even other people in the Xiao Mansion were puzzled. Xiaoxi had never attended any parties, banquets, and rarely had contact with ladies and wives in the capital. How could the eldest princess Post to Xiaoxi?According to the content of the post, there is a pond of lotus planted in the eldest prince's mansion, and it is already in full bloom, so the princess invited the noble ladies in the capital to watch it in the mansion.

This kind of post can't be more normal. Every year, every month, people with status in the capital will have various excuses and reasons for holding parties, such as flower viewing feasts, and there are countless of them. Eldest Prince The concubine's lotus feast is also reasonable.

What made them feel a little bit wrong was how could the eldest princess post a post to Xiaoxi?

They know a little about this eldest concubine.Her natal family is the Xuanpinghou Mansion, and she is the most favored daughter of the Xuanpinghou. Of course, she is also a descendant. It is said that when she was born, a traveling Taoist came from nowhere and happened to come to the Xuanpinghou. In front of the mansion, they came to the door and said that a girl was born in the mansion. At that time, the eldest princess and concubine happened to be born. When Xuan Pinghou heard this, he fell in love and said that the first daughter of the mansion had just been born.

The Taoist figured it out and said that this girl's fate is very good. In Jiawang Mansion, marrying Wangfu is a rare good fortune...Xuan Pinghou was naturally very happy when he heard it. For this newborn daughter Immediately there was a different feeling.After that, Xuan Pinghou became more and more smooth in the officialdom, and he felt that what the Taoist said was true, and he loved this daughter even more.The whole family treats her like a baby lump, and has been doting on her since she grew up.

After hearing what the Taoist said, Xuan Ping Hou felt that since this was the case, he should cultivate it well, and maybe it would bring great blessings to Xuan Ping Hou's mansion in the future.So when the eldest concubine was very young, she invited someone to teach her, and everything was taught according to the morals that a traditional woman should have. None of the items fell.

But, things didn't develop as Xuan Pinghou thought, this daughter, she has learned, but...how should I put it?It's not that she didn't study hard, it's just that the essence of her study was a little off.

Having received this kind of strict education since she was a child, the First Princess Concubine was naturally taught to be a rigid person, but her thinking was quite rigid, but her temperament was raised to be a bit arrogant and looked down upon others, especially those who If there is something that makes her think that it should not appear on a rich lady, with bad behavior and character, she always disdains to associate with others, and she thinks she is very noble.

Just like Mo Xuerui, even though Mo Xuerui is very good in every aspect, even if she is praised by the empress in the palace, the First Princess is also not interested in her, because she thinks that Mo Xuerui's behavior of chasing Jue Lin is really disgusting. It's too embarrassing for a woman, she has no shame, even if Mo Xuerui is the daughter of Duke Mo, she still treats her very coldly, especially after becoming the eldest prince's concubine.

Now Xiaoxi actually went out to do business like a man, logically speaking, the eldest princess concubine should look down on Xiaoxi, why would she take the initiative to post a post to Xiaoxi?That's why they were so surprised when they saw that the eldest concubine actually posted a post for Xiaoxi, isn't it so surprising?
Mu Jinxi also felt very baffled, she had never met this eldest princess and concubine, and she had never attended gatherings of noble ladies in the capital, everyone should know this, right?At the beginning, many people posted posts for me, but I rejected them one by one. Even if I participated in it once or twice, I followed my aunt, and I didn’t stay long before I came back.After a long time, those people have figured out their own temperament, and generally they won't post to her.

What does the eldest princess want to do?
But when she thought about it carefully, she thought of what Jue Lin told her two days ago. Could it be that the second prince told the first prince, and then the first prince asked his concubine to test him, to see if he could find out from himself? Got some news?

Thinking of this, she calmed down. It would be better if she took action. If she didn't act, the quietness would be even more worrying. Now that they have made a move, she can think about how to deal with it.If the eldest concubine really posted a post for herself and invited herself to the flower viewing banquet at her mansion because of this, then she would go, and she wanted to see if it was really what she thought.

If so, it proves that the second prince really told the first prince about meeting Jue Lin in the palace that day. Besides the second prince, there are other people they have to guard against. They just don’t know whether the second prince or the first prince Did the prince tell more people about this news?

Compared to Mu Jinxi's calmness, the members of the Xiao family seemed a little worried.

"Xiaoxi, why did the princess suddenly post a message to you? According to her personality, she should look down on you, so why would she take the initiative to invite you to appreciate the lotus in the mansion? Could there be some conspiracy? ?” Mrs. Xiao asked worriedly.

Mrs. Xiao is a woman in the back house, so what she thinks about is naturally the intrigue between women.Xiaoxi was very low-key at the beginning when she returned to the capital, but she couldn't keep a low-key after the marriage gift. In addition, what Xiaoxi did herself made her a figure on the cusp of the capital.She was worried that the First Concubine suddenly wanted to invite Xiaoxi to her house for some purpose.

Xiao Xi seldom goes to these gatherings, and she doesn't understand anything. Those young ladies are all human beings. If they unite to make Xiao Xi look bad at the party, or plot against her, then Xiao Xi will be hard to guard against, maybe If you are not careful, someone will calculate it.

Master Xiao thought much simpler, and said: "Conspiracies, conspiracies, how can there be so many conspiracies? It may be that the princess thinks that Xiaoxi is Juelin's fiancée after all, the future princess of Prince Mu's mansion, so she wants to get along with her." Xiao Xi made good friends. After all, she is not only Xuan Pinghou's daughter now, she is also the first concubine of the First Prince. Everything she does should be considered from the perspective of the First Prince's House. She has to think about the First Prince. .”

"Master! You don't know that the eldest prince's main concubine always has her eyes on the top of her head. She thinks that she is the only one among the noble ladies in the capital who is a famous lady. Everyone should be like her. What Xiao Xi did is in the world. In her eyes, it is probably an unforgivable crime! I really don't know how Xuan Pinghou raised his daughter to have such a temperament, the princess is not as contemptuous as she is."

"Even if she doesn't like Xiaoxi, so what? Who told Xiaoxi to be my niece, Xiao Jingyan? Who told the emperor to marry Xiaoxi to Jue Lin? She didn't want to offend our Xiaofu, or the Wangfu. She can't crowd out our little Xi!" Master Xiao simply didn't pay attention to the eldest prince's concubine.

In his opinion, the eldest princess and concubine are all women's benevolence, ignorant and ignorant of the general situation!Xuan Pinghou just gave that Taoist a pit, like them, people with status, children born in the family, isn't that a good fortune, and they will be rich and powerful in the future?No good fate can be reincarnated into their family?They have status, status, and power. If they find a good marriage for their children in the future, will they be rich and prosperous for a lifetime?

These are all very common things, but what about Xuan Pinghou?As if possessed by a demon, holding this daughter like an eyeball, that's fine, you hold it as long as you hold it, but at least you can teach it better, and see what it looks like now.I really don't know why the eldest prince has his eyes on her, probably because she is the daughter of Xuan Pinghou?Think about it and there is only this reason.

After all, the number of Marquises in the capital is very limited, and the lady of Duke Mo's Mansion is not yet old enough, let alone the other one, who is only five or six years old!The following ones are only those of Xuan Pinghou who can catch the eyes of the queen.Those of them who are in high positions, there is no young lady in the Xiao residence, the doctor Yushi is married, and the Taiwei’s is similar to the one in the Duke of Mo’s residence. daughter.

Facts have proved that this Xuan Pinghou's daughter is just like that. She has been married to the eldest prince for more than half a year, and her stomach still hasn't moved at all.

Hey, don't you boast that you are a standard lady?Since she was a child, she received strict education of three obediences and four virtues, so she should know how important an offspring is to a man and a family, let alone the eldest prince.

She has been a wife for half a year, so she should have a good self-examination, but she, the queen wants to ask the imperial doctor to check her pulse, and she still pushes it back and forth. How can there be any attitude that a wife and daughter-in-law should have?Are you ashamed to dislike their little Xi?sigh!
Master Xiao really doesn't have any affection for the eldest princess, and he doesn't think she has anything worth learning and emulating from her. He thinks his niece is the best!She looked down on Xiaoxi and was unwilling to get in touch with Xiaoxi. He felt that she was not worthy!
Mrs. Xiao said angrily when she heard his words: "Why don't you understand what I mean? I'm worried that the First Prince Concubine has other purposes! Xiao Xi is not good at these things. What if someone plots against you? Didn’t you say that you love Xiaoxi very much, so why don’t you worry about it now?”

After being reminded by Mrs. Xiao, Mr. Xiao immediately felt that it was true after thinking about it.My niece has never attended these gatherings alone, and this lady in the capital city has not been on good terms with Xiao Xi, if Xiao Xi goes, won't she be isolated and excluded?

After thinking about it, Master Xiao said decisively: "Xiaoxi, since that's the case, let's not go, let your aunt go back to the eldest princess."

Mu Jinxi, who was listening to their conversation, twitched at the corner of her mouth, and finally she was able to speak, and said, "Uncle, aunt, you are thinking too much. Since the eldest princess has already posted a post for me, why don't I go?" Didn’t I offend people? Offended people? Originally, my reputation in the capital is not very good. Didn’t those people say I’m arrogant and look down on others? If I even push down the invitation of the eldest princess and concubine, then I will be successful. Who is it?"

"But Xiaoxi, if you go—"

"Auntie, it's okay. Although I haven't been to these gatherings alone, I followed you to the house of Yin Jingzhao and the banquet at the house of Doctor Yushi. I know more or less about it." Anyway, there are still a few days left for the flower viewing feast, Auntie, just tell me the things to pay attention to in the next few days, I am so smart, there will be no problems!"

The old lady Xiao also said: "Xiaoxi is right. She will be the mistress of Prince Mu's mansion in the future, and she will have to adapt to this sooner or later. Before she is married, let her go and have a look! If anyone dares to plot against Xiao Xi, that means not paying attention to our Xiao Mansion and Prince Mu's Mansion! I want to see whose daughter is so blind."

Offending the Xiao family and Mu Wang's house is to find enemies for their own family. If someone insists on trying their Xiao family's importance to Xiaoxi, then they have no way to stop them, so let those people see clearly.

Mrs. Xiao thought it made sense, she tightened the handkerchief on her hand, and said firmly: "Xiaoxi, don't be afraid, Auntie will explain it to you clearly in the next few days, if those people dare to bully you, come back Tell us, and we'll help you out!"

Mu Jinxi burst out laughing, and said: "Oh, aunt, uncle, don't worry, I am so old, can't I take care of myself? Or do you think I lived in Xiushui Village before and didn't see anything? Don’t you know anything about the world?”

Master Xiao and Mrs. Xiao's complexion changed, and they explained nervously: "Xiaoxi, we definitely didn't think so, please don't get me wrong! In our eyes, you are the best, even if you used to live in Xiushui Village, I haven’t seen the world—no, it’s not that I haven’t seen the world, yes, I have no chance—nor, hey, anyway, we won’t look down on you, you know? Don’t think too much about it!”

Xiao Nianxun, who was sitting by the side with a smile on his face, couldn't help covering his lips and laughing when his brother and sister-in-law looked like this, and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, don't be fooled by this bad girl Xiaoxi, she just said that on purpose to scare you , She sometimes has a bad mind, she just said that on purpose, she is happy to see us nervous! Like a child!"

Mu Jinxi really smiled and said: "Who told you to always treat me like a child? I am so powerful, but you still think I am a little white rabbit. Doesn't this mean that you have no confidence in me and look down on me? I Of course not happy."

Master Xiao and Mrs. Xiao were startled, then they pointed at Mu Jinxi and shook their heads with a smile, as if they could do nothing about her.

Everyone was talking, when they saw Xiao Yu and Mu Jinhua coming back, Xiao Yu walked in and said: "When I came back, I saw that I still had time, so I went to the Imperial College to pick up my cousin and came back together."

Mu Jinhua greeted everyone one by one before she went to sit down and asked, "What were you talking about just now? I heard the laughter of my uncle and aunt from a long distance away."

"Yeah, I thought Xiaobao was there, but I didn't see Xiaobao when I came in, so it must be Xiaoxi doing something." Xiao Yu also said with a smile.

"It's not that bad girl Xiaoxi!" Mrs. Xiao gave Mu Jinxi a reproachful look, and then told Xiao Yu and Mu Jinhua about the post that the eldest princess concubine had posted for her.

Mu Jinhua was fine, he didn't know much about these things, but he frowned when he heard the words "Elder Prince and Concubine", thinking that it might not be a good thing for this prince and concubine to suddenly post a message to Xiaoxi.

Xiao Yu also raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Mu Jinxi, and asked, "Xiaoxi, since when did you have a relationship with the eldest prince's concubine? As far as I know, no matter before or after she got married, she herself The gatherings and banquets held in the mansion have always invited some noble girls who have been friends with me, so why did I post you this time?"

Of course, Mu Jinxi guessed the possible reason in her heart, but she couldn't say it out, so when faced with Xiao Yu's question, she just shook her head and said, "I don't understand, it's just strange. I've never seen this before." Princess, let alone have anything to do with her."

"This is a bit strange. Could it be because of Jue Lin's relationship? Jue Lin has been more active than before..." The second half of Xiao Yu's sentence was a little vague, and everyone didn't hear it clearly.

What Xiao Yu thought of was what happened in the court.The other party's husband is the First Prince, and the First Prince is the eldest son of the Emperor. It stands to reason that if there are no accidents, the First Prince will inherit the throne in the future, but no one knows what the Emperor is thinking. They say he doesn't like the First Prince. Well, but he has almost the same attitude towards the other princes, and he doesn't favor any prince.

If you want to say that the emperor is partial to someone, if you ask all the officials in the court, everyone will probably say that this person is none other than Jue Lin.If Jue Lin was the emperor's child, then the crown prince would definitely fall on him. Unfortunately, Jue Lin is not the emperor's son, he is just the posthumous son of a prince of the opposite sex. With today's status, it is impossible to go any higher.

Could it be that the eldest prince wanted to win over Jue Lin, so he asked his concubine to come forward and make friends with Xiao Xi. If the two concubines become best friends in the future, then according to the importance Jue Lin attaches to Xiao Xi, as long as Xiao Xi is in Jue Lin's ears, While helping the First Prince say a few good words, no one can guarantee that it will be useless, and then Jue Lin will say a few good words for the First Prince in front of the Emperor, will the Emperor's attitude towards the First Prince change?
"Big cousin, it's okay. Since you posted the post for me, I'll go and have a look. Well, maybe I can advertise my beauty shop in advance or something." Mu Jinxi's thoughts shifted to own beauty shop.

Everyone was startled when they heard her words, Xiao Yu asked with some puzzlement: "Xiaoxi, what did you say, what are you suing?"

Mu Jinxi waved her hand and said: "It's just for publicity. Let me promote my beauty shop. This is a good opportunity. Those who can participate in the flower feast of the prince and concubine should be people with status. I have to make good use of it." Take this opportunity!"

Everyone was speechless for a moment. The nervous mood was disturbed by her, but they couldn't get nervous anymore. Instead, they had a faint feeling that if the eldest princess really had any plans for Xiaoxi, maybe the unlucky one would end up It's her, maybe Xiaoxi will give her a good flower viewing feast...

A picture could not help appearing in the minds of everyone present. At the elegant flower viewing feast, everyone was admiring the blooming lotus, and recited a few lines of poems from time to time, but Xiao Xi was on the sidelines. Promoting her own beauty shop... Thinking of Xiaoxi's powerful mouth, everyone couldn't help feeling a little bit of sympathy for the eldest princess.

The eldest concubine looked down on these vulgar things the most. If something like this happened at her flower viewing banquet, she would probably go crazy, right?

After chatting in the living room for a while, it was time for dinner. Xiao Xiao came back at the meal time. Knowing that the eldest prince's concubine had posted a post for Mu Jinxi, he immediately said that he would go with her when the time came, and he could still pull it up. Jue Lin.

Mu Jinxi was startled. Isn't this flower viewing party only for women to participate in?Why do men want to go too?Won't be thrown out, or ridiculed?
Hearing Mu Jinxi's surprised and puzzled words, Xiao Xiao smiled unkindly, and told her about the various gatherings and banquet habits in the capital, and Mu Jinxi suddenly realized.

Sure enough, a banquet or something, no matter it is ancient or modern, cannot get rid of one of its functions: blind date

Hey, who said that the ancients were old-fashioned and pedantic, aren't they very flexible in this regard?It is inconvenient for a girl to meet a man, so hold a banquet or something in the house, enjoy flowers, talk about poetry, play the piano, put on an elegant excuse, anything will happen, and everyone will turn a blind eye .

After thinking about it, Mu Jinxi nodded her head.

When Mu Jinxi returned to her yard, she didn't feel any surprise when she saw that there was another person in her room, so she asked directly, "You came here for that post too?"

Jue Lin was stunned and asked, "What post?"

Mu Jinxi was surprised, "Didn't you come because of the fact that the eldest prince's wife sent me an invitation?"

Jue Lin frowned: "You mean the eldest prince's concubine sent you a post to invite you to the residence?"

Now Mu Jinxi was sure that Juelin didn't know about it, she spread her hands and said, "Yeah, she suddenly sent me a post, inviting me to her house in a few days to attend a small banquet for appreciating lotus flowers , everyone knows, I thought you came here so late because of this matter." Who knew it wasn't, she revealed that she was wrong.

"I don't know yet, but it's not too late to know now. Seeing that you are planning to be invited?"

"Of course I have to accept the invitation. The other party is the eldest prince's concubine, so I can't afford to offend you."

Jue Lin looked at Mu Jinxi with a half-smile, and said, "You have some other purpose, don't you?"

Mu Jinxi smiled and said, "Jue Lin, you really understand me more and more." Then she straightened her expression and said, "Actually, I wonder if the first prince knew about your entering the palace that day, maybe it was the second prince. I told the eldest prince what I found, and then the eldest prince became suspicious, so he asked his concubine to test me, wanting to get some news from me, I can only be sure if I go to participate."

Jue Lin sighed lightly and said: "You don't need to make sure, I can tell you right now that the eldest prince is indeed suspicious, but it was not the second prince who told him, it was the queen. On the day I entered the palace, the queen went to After passing through Weiyang Palace, she must have sensed something, so she let the first prince enter the palace, but he is more stable than the second prince, so he sent someone to investigate without rashness."

"Huh? Empress? So even the empress has begun to doubt? Let me just say, if you always bring Xiaobao into the palace, it will easily arouse others' suspicion. Look, it's only worth entering the palace twice now." It's like this, I really can't imagine that if you didn't stop you, if you took Xiaobao into the palace every three days, the matter must have been messed up by now, right?"

Jue Lin twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling innocent.

He didn't want to, but that was the emperor. He could refuse once or twice, three or four times, but if he kept refusing, even if the emperor favored him, he would still be angry. burst out?In this way, he can let Xiaobao enter the palace openly.

"By the way, you and my little cousin can go with me that day, so that I don't have to worry about being bullied."

Jue Lin was startled, and frowned for some reason, but still nodded.Although his movement was fast, it was still caught by Mu Jinxi.

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you unwilling to go with me?" If so, she would not force it.

Jue Lin shook his head quickly and said: "Of course I would like to go with you, but I never liked to participate in these, those women..." It was too annoying.

Seeing the disgusted expression flashing across Jue Lin's face, Mu Jinxi quickly guessed the reason, touched her chin and said, "This is just a good opportunity!"

Jue Lin was puzzled: "What good opportunity?"

Mu Jinxi walked up to him, tiptoed and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's a good opportunity for us to show our affection! Let those who secretly say that I don't like you, wait to see my jokes, wait Those who take advantage of the loopholes and want to enter the palace, look, how good our relationship is, how much we love each other!"

Mu Jinxi stood on tiptoe, next to Jue Lin, and Jue Lin lowered his head slightly and got very close to her, so close that he could still clearly see her distinct eyelashes in the dim light , her own figure is reflected in her pupils... and her pink lips, I don't know if it's because of the water she drank just now, there is still a little watery light on them.

Her complexion is a little rosier than when she was in Peach Blossom Town, her skin is fair and tender, translucent, exuding a lustrous luster, which makes people's hands itchy, and I can't help but want to reach out to touch that tender face and kiss it Those pink lips...

Jue Lin looked at it, his heart beat violently, hitting his chest, and his breathing became heavy. He stared at the delicate face that was close at hand, and couldn't help swallowing.
