The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 702
Hearing Mu Jinhua's angry words, Mu Jinxi finally turned to him and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'll talk to you later. Besides, Miss Mo is actually pretty good, so don't worry about it." Hurry to stop this matter."

Mo Xuerui also said: "That's right, am I not good enough for you? I have good looks and talent, I can sing poems with you, play the piano and draw pictures with you, and I have a family background, so I can't match you? You Is this despising me, looking down on me?"

"No, no, Xiaosheng didn't mean that. Don't misunderstand, Ms. Mo, it's just that these are completely different things and should not be confused!" Mu Jinhua shook her head and said.

Although I have heard about this Miss Mo from Xiaoxi and Ah Xiao before, I have some complaints about her behavior, and feel that it does not meet the secular requirements for women. Since ancient times, major marriages between men and women have been ordered by their parents and said by matchmakers. , but this Ms. Mo came up to her by herself and ran after a man, what's wrong with that?Not to mention that this man doesn't mean anything to her at all.

At that time, I only felt that this woman was bold and reckless, she acted out of line, and didn't have any morals that a woman should have, but she didn't say that she looked down on her. At the beginning, the two had made a private marriage agreement, so how could he have the right to look down on others?
"Why is it a different matter? If you don't look down on me, then you agree with me. Since you agree with me, why can't you accept me? I have nothing bad to say, why do you shirk? I don't even dislike you, a poor scholar. What! I didn't despise you, you should burn incense, you know?"

Mu Jinhua was speechless, and it wasn't that he wanted her to chase after him and say these ridiculous things, he didn't think about it at all, okay?How come, the taste in her mouth completely changed, it turned black and white upside down, calling a deer a horse.

After Mo Xuerui finished speaking, she said to Mu Jinxi: "Okay, that's all for today, remember what you said just now, otherwise I will cling to you and Juelin in the future!"

The corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth twitched, and said, "You also remember what you said yourself."

"Hmph, Miss Ben does what she says. You don't have to worry about me going back on my word. Although I'm not a man, it's hard to follow back. Oh, and don't forget what you promised me just now, my Tea utensils, and essential oils, I'll get them another day, that's all for today, I have to go back and think about it." Mo Xuerui said.

When I went back, I thought about it carefully, what I was thinking about, of course I wanted to impress Mu Jinhua and marry him smoothly.

Mu Jinxi waved her hand and said, "Let's go!"

Mo Xuerui glanced at Mu Jinhua, whose face was red and black, and seeing that even though he was so angry at this moment, he did not speak ill of him, she felt more and more that he was actually quite good, so she nodded and turned to leave .

After Mo Xuerui left, Mu Jinhua turned to her younger sister, "Xiao Xi, are you crazy? What were you doing just now? Did you lose your mind? How could you—"

"Brother! Listen to me first!" Mu Jinxi interrupted him with her hand.

Mu Jinhua held back her breath and said, "Okay, tell me, and I'll see what else you can say."

"Is such that……"

After Mu Jinxi's analysis and persuasion, she finally calmed Mu Jinhua's anger, but after listening to her words, Mu Jinhua still had some doubts, "It will really be like what you said?"

Mu Jinxi nodded seriously: "Really, big brother, don't you believe me? When did I make a mistake? And you are my big brother. Mo Xuerui has nothing to do with me. I can do it for her. Did something hurt you? Besides, the marriage between Jue Lin and I was a marriage gift. Although Mo Xuerui is the daughter of the Duke, can the daughter of the Duke be compared with the Emperor? Also, the Emperor values ​​Juelin so much, If Jue Lin is not willing, can the emperor give Mo Xuerui to Jue Lin? If it is really useful, Mo Xuerui has already become Jue Lin's fiancée, so is it my turn?"

So it was for her own sake that she was afraid that Mo Xuerui would pester Juelin, so she deliberately agreed to Mo Xuerui to pester her elder brother.Besides, does she need this?She has a hundred ways to deal with Mo Xuerui, if she continues to pester Juelin.

Mu Jinhua frowned and thought about her sister's words seriously, and thought it made sense, but she was still a little worried when she thought of what Mo Xuerui said just now, and said, "Xiao Xi, although what you said makes sense, but, just in case, What if that Miss Mo really did something embarrassing?"

Mu Jinxi walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry big brother, if you are worried, I will go and talk to Lao Mo, but if I tell Lao Mo, then Lao Mo will definitely go to Mo Mo Xuerui, I don't know what he will do to his sister, you also know that the relationship between Lao Mo and Mo Xuerui has not been very good, they are like enemies."

"This..." Mu Jinhua obviously thought of this too, hesitated a bit, and said after thinking about it: "Forget it, after all, she just talked and hasn't done anything yet. If we rashly go to Tell Mo Qingcang, it seems that there is something wrong, let's talk about it later, maybe it's really like what I told you, Miss Mo is just impulsive, maybe she will forget it tomorrow."

Mu Jinxi nodded and said: "Well, brother, you are right to think so. Today is the second time Mo Xuerui sees you, brother. How could she just want to marry you? She is not the kind who can't think People without brains, Mo Xuerui is smart, she must have said that on purpose, just to annoy me."

Mu Jinhua was actually convinced by what she said just now, but she was still a little worried.Now the heart that was hanging was finally returned to its original position, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Forget it, elder brother is a man, she is still a weak woman who is not as good as she is, how can I have the same knowledge as her? She should just talk casually, just to make you angry, don't bring up this matter again in the future, so as not to damage her reputation, you know?"

"Brother, just a moment ago you were yelling about how bad he is, but now you're thinking about him again, isn't your change too fast?" Mu Jinxi laughed.

"What do you know? How important is the reputation of a woman's family. I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a big brother before and let you do something like that. Now I naturally don't want to see someone like you. Can you be good?" Isn't it good to be alive? She doesn't have any deep hatred with us, I think she is just like a child, probably because the family is too fond of her, that's why she is so self-willed." Mu Jinhua said solemnly.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say. Hey, I originally wanted you to drink the scented tea I made, but Mo Xuerui messed it up like this. I'm afraid it won't work. It's getting late. Let's pack up and go back. !” Mu Jinxi said with some regret.

Mu Jinxi and Mo Xuerui were on the second floor, Qiu Ju and Wei Ruoying were on the third floor, they were called, and everyone tidied up and left the red building.

Qiu Ju and Mu Jinhua are naturally very familiar. They grew up together in Xiushui Village. Mu Jinhua also regards Qiu Ju as her younger sister, especially when Qiu Ju followed them to the capital alone. Could it be her and Xiao Xi? loved ones?He also hadn't seen Qiu Ju for a long time, so of course it was very important to see her now. He asked her about her situation, and then said that if she had any difficulties, she should remember to find Xiaoxi, otherwise she could also go to Xiao's mansion to find her. Parents or something.

It was the first time for Wei Ruoying to see him, but he had heard it from Xiao Xi before, and he was very sympathetic to what happened to the two siblings, and now he also treated this little girl as his own sister, making Mu Jin Xi kept muttering in her heart that her elder brother was still so soft-hearted, and she was really worried that someone would buy him one day.

If you think about it this way, it might not be a bad thing if the eldest brother and Mo Xuerui are involved. Although Mo Xuerui sometimes seems to be self-willed and unreliable, judging from what her aunt said, she is not all without merit. She ran after Jue Lin, but she is excellent in other aspects, and she lived in the Duke's Mansion since she was a child. The Duke's Mansion is not as simple as the Xiao Mansion. As a prostitute, it is impossible for Mo Xuerui to have no scheming .

Big brother's future wife should be the kind of woman who is good at dancing, scheming but not too demanding. At present, it seems that Mo Xuerui is quite suitable. Mo Xuerui's temperament is not bad, but she is still a bit willful now He hasn't reached the age yet, he is still young, after a few years, when he grows up, his temperament will naturally calm down.

If you think about it this way, Mo Xuerui and her elder brother seem to have something to do with each other.

But it's not in a hurry now, take your time, there is plenty of time for her to observe.Although she also felt that a large part of the reason why Mo Xuerui said this today was because of herself. She wanted to deliberately dissuade herself. Since she was with Jue Lin, she was angry and felt that since she had taken Jue Lin away , then she will be with her elder brother. Even if this matter fails in the end, it is unpleasant enough to think about it.

But if Mo Xuerui really thinks so, she has to say sorry, her goal is impossible to achieve.If she really didn't want to see her, she wouldn't let her come to the Red Mansion to help, so even if she swayed in front of her all day, she wouldn't feel anything, and she would just treat her as someone who adjusted her boredom of life.

After returning home, both Mu Jinxi and Mu Jinhua quickly forgot Mo Xuerui's heroic declaration. With the matter of the Red Mansion, where is the energy to think about Mo Xuerui?
In a blink of an eye, it's time for the First Prince's Concubine's Flower Appreciation Banquet. The sun is scorching in June, and the First Prince's Flower Viewing Banquet is arranged in the morning. After breakfast, Mu Jinxi is ready to leave for the First Prince's Mansion Yes, Xiao Xiao had already agreed to go with her, and he had already prepared for it. The carriage of the two of them left the Xiao Mansion and they ran into the carriage of the Wang Mansion when they walked to the street.

There was no one else in the carriage except Jue Lin, he opened the curtain, and said to the carriage of the Xiao Mansion: "Since we are together, why not come and take the same carriage to the First Prince's Mansion! You can also talk on the way .”

After thinking about it, Mu Jinxi felt that it made sense, and got out of the carriage without thinking too much, and Xiao Xiao couldn't stop her even if she wanted to. Looking at her back, she shook her head helplessly.

Xiao Xi is really reassuring. Although she and Jue Lin are a fiancée and have a holy decree, they are not married anyway. Shouldn't they avoid suspicion?Just sit in the same carriage and go to the First Prince's Mansion to participate in the flower viewing banquet... Is it really good?
"Ah Xiao, hurry up, or do you want to take the carriage by yourself?" After getting into the carriage of the palace, Mu Jinxi found no one behind her, turned her head and saw that he was still in her own carriage, wondering what she was thinking.

Xiao Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, and said: "Okay, I'll be here right away." Then he couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "I can't wait, people don't know what they will say when they see it. Hey, it's really a girl Don't stay here!"

"What are you muttering about, come here quickly, or I will let the carriage go!" Mu Jinxi said in a vicious voice.

"Xiao Xi, why are you like this? Don't you know how to restrain yourself in front of Jue Lin? If Jue Lin is frightened, he doesn't want you anymore. I'll see where you cry." While Xiao Xiao was talking, he jumped onto the carriage nimbly, got in, then leaned on the carriage with a crooked body.

Mu Jinxi smiled and said: "If this is really the case, then I can only be wronged and marry you."

"Pfft! You, don't say that, if you say that again, Jue Lin will kill me with a knife."

Jue Lin glanced at Xiao Xiao coldly, then stretched out his hand to grab Mu Jinxi's hand, squeezed it, and said, "Jin'er, don't talk nonsense, I will punish you if you say such things again in the future."

Mu Jinxi glared at him, "What do you want?"

Jue Lin pursed his lips and smiled, ignoring Xiao Xiao who was at the side, leaned closer to Mu Jinxi, and whispered something in her ear, and then Xiao Xiao saw his cousin's face froze first, then turned red, and gave Jue Lin a reproachful look , that look in Xiao Xiao's eyes was full of charm, soft and charming, which startled him, thinking that he was delusional, how could Xiao Xi have such a small expression?It's so weird!
Just when Xiao Xiao was trembling, Jue Lin looked over coldly, he hurriedly straightened his body, sat upright, and didn't look sideways.

Jue Lin snorted softly, hugged Mu Jinxi and whispered softly at the side, he didn't do anything excessive, and Mu Jinxi let him do it, anyway, in her eyes, these so-called intimate actions couldn't be more normal.

It takes almost half an hour to travel from the Xiao Mansion to the carriage of the First Prince's Mansion. After half an hour, the carriage of the Wang Mansion will arrive at the First Prince's Mansion. The maid who welcomes the guests in front of the gate of the First Prince's Mansion is stunned when she sees the carriage of the Wang Mansion. I stopped, I don't understand how the carriage of the palace appeared here.It wasn't until he saw the people coming down from the carriage that he realized that he was here with Miss Mu.

After the maid came to her senses, she immediately went up to greet her, and after saluting to Jue Lin, she blessed Mu Jinxi and said in a crisp voice: "This must be Miss Mu, the princess is worried that Miss Mu is coming to the eldest prince for the first time. Therefore, I ordered my servants to wait for Miss Mu here, and Miss Mu, please come with my servants."

Mu Jinxi smiled and said, "I'm sorry."

"Don't dare, Miss Mu is too polite."

The maid who led the way led the way, and Mu Jinxi and the three followed her to the First Prince's Mansion. The three of them had just entered the gate of the First Prince's Mansion when another carriage stopped outside, and they got out of the carriage Two ladies.

"Hey, who are those in front? They look a bit like Miss Mu!" one of them said.

The other one was staring at the back of one of them in a daze, completely unable to hear what the people around him said.

That back... The familiar yet unfamiliar back, isn't it the stalwart back that has appeared in my dreams countless times?It's him, it's him, it must be him!He is also from the capital? !Does that mean she will have a chance in the future?
Thinking of this, she turned out to be ignorant of her elder sister, lifted her skirt slightly and hurriedly chased after her.

"Hey, He'er, what are you doing? Wait for me, what happened to you in such a hurry?" Cao Heying was surprised when she saw the strange behavior of her younger sister, as if she didn't hear her voice. After saying those words, she kept rushing towards the First Prince's Mansion, and she also hurriedly chased after her, not even having time to give orders to the maid behind her.

Cao Heying hurriedly finally grabbed her sister before entering the mansion, pulled her aside forcefully, gasped slightly and said in a low voice: "He'er, what are you messing around with? What do you think this is, this is the Great Prince's Mansion! What are you doing so recklessly?"

"Sister, I, I saw an acquaintance, I was excited for a while, so, so..." Cao Hexiang bit her lip and said softly.

Cao Heying frowned: "Acquaintances? Can you see any acquaintances that are worthy of your excitement? A few girls who have been friends with you will also come today, but it's not that you haven't seen each other for a long time. After going in later It will happen naturally, you are so frizzy, if you bump into the princess in the eldest prince's mansion, it depends on you! How many times have I told you, you can do whatever you want at home, but be careful when you come out. You just can't listen."

Cao Hexiang was anxious to confirm the figure she saw just now, so after hearing what her sister reprimanded her, she immediately admitted her mistake and said: "Sister, I know, I will pay attention, let's go in first, or wait It won’t be good if the princess misunderstands us later.”

Cao Heying was a little surprised to see that she had admitted her mistake so quickly this time without sophistry, but she didn't think too much about it. Instead, she was very happy and said, "I can rest assured that you can only think so." Then he lowered his voice and said, "Here It's the Grand Prince's Mansion, it's no different from ordinary mansions, you must be more careful when you see the concubine later, you know?"

"Sister, don't worry, I know." Cao Hexiang's face flashed with eagerness, but she didn't dare to show it too much, for fear that her sister would find out. If her sister sensed something was wrong, she would definitely get to the bottom of it , she couldn't hide it anymore.If my sister knew, she would definitely scold her, stop her, and not let her find out.

That figure from the back is really too familiar, she thinks it is very likely that it is the man she met in Peach Blossom Town during the Lantern Festival last year, but, is it possible that he will be in the capital?Moreover, the people who can come to the flower viewing banquet held by the First Prince's Concubine today should all be people of status and status. Even the sisters are here for the first time. How could he be here?
And there are other people around him, so he came with others and took advantage of others?Who is with him?Just now she only noticed his back, but the rest of the people didn't pay much attention, and she didn't know who the person who came with him would be, could she know it?
"He'er, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking?" Cao Heying quickly noticed the abnormality of her sister, and asked with a slight frown.

Cao Hexiang's heart skipped a beat, and she said nonchalantly: "Sister, I'm fine, maybe I'm a little nervous, I heard that the eldest princess is a bit difficult to get along with, will she, will she curse people?"

Cao Heying glared at her sister reproachfully, and said in a low voice: "What are you talking about? I don't even look at where this place is. Can you believe what you hear? Anyway, the eldest princess concubine invited us here today, so let's Just be yourself and don't be ashamed. What are you doing so much about other things? If you're really worried, then after you see the First Princess, you should pay attention and don't rush into it recklessly. People, do you know?"

"Sister, I'm not a child anymore. I know how to behave. Let's go quickly and see who is here today." Cao Heying eagerly took her hand and was about to walk into the mansion without waiting. The maid in the village came to lead the way.

Cao Heying was pulled by her, she stretched out her hand and grabbed her younger sister, and reprimanded softly, "Slow down! What's the hurry, we don't know the way, how could we be so impolite to break in by ourselves for the first time? , It’s unseemly! You stand still and wait for the servant girl from the mansion to come over!”

Cao Hexiang bit her lip, although she was a little unwilling, she had to stop her steps and waited for the servant girl from the mansion to come over, but her eyes couldn't bear to look inside frequently, it seemed that there was no rule at all.It was also fortunate that there was no one around at this time, otherwise people would laugh at her when they saw her undignified appearance.

Seeing her like this, Cao Heying couldn't help frowning, wondering if her sister was hiding something from herself, no matter how she looked like this, she seemed a little impatient, as if she was in a hurry to see someone.

It didn't take long for the two of them to stand, when the maid in the mansion came and led the two of them into the mansion. Naturally, the First Prince's Mansion is much better than ordinary official mansions. When Cao Heying and Cao Hexiang walked in with the maid, they saw All of them are exquisite and meticulous to the extreme scenery, pavilions, pavilions, rockery and flowing water. Needless to say, the buildings in this mansion alone are eye-catching. Everywhere is designed with ingenuity, which makes people marvel. All kinds of meandering paths are interspersed among them. On both sides of the path are either rockery and flowing water, or green trees and red flowers, or exotic flowers and plants. They seem to be randomly placed on both sides of the path, but in reality they are extremely particular.

The two sisters followed the maid through the Hanging Flower Gate, bypassed the long verandah, passed through a moon arch, and heard the faint sound of talking and laughing, and then passed through a small door, and it suddenly became clear that they had already reached the backyard In a large garden, the air could faintly smell the refreshing fragrance of lotus, which lifted people's spirits.

The maid took the two sisters Cao Heying to a side hall in the garden. There were already many people sitting in the side hall. As soon as the two sisters came in, they attracted a lot of attention because they were twin sisters. In the eyes of many ladies and ladies, this is a new thing.

The two sisters of the Cao family came to the First Princess, and the First Princess immediately smiled when she saw them, and said, "These are the twin sisters from Yin's family in Jingzhao Mansion, right? This concubine has heard about it a long time ago." , I just got to see you today, and it really looks like someone else said, they look alike! Which one of you is the older sister and which one is the younger sister?"

It was the first time for the First Princess to see such a similar pair of sisters, and she found it very novel, her eyes sized up the two sisters of the Cao family without any concealment.

Naturally, there are twins in the capital, but people with status and status have never seen each other before. That's why when she saw the two sisters of the Cao family, she found it so novel. How could they look so similar? ?She had heard people say that twin sisters or brothers were very similar in appearance. She had never seen them before, so she was somewhat skeptical, but now that she saw them with her own eyes, she knew that there were indeed people who looked so similar.

The eldest concubine felt that it was fresh, and she seemed much more pleasant to the two sisters of the Cao family, which made Cao Heying feel relieved.

Before coming here, my mother reminded her that this eldest concubine is not so easy to get along with, so she should pay more attention to it, so as not to make any mistakes and offend this empress and concubine.Now among the princes, only the eldest prince is married, and she is the only concubine of the prince. Naturally, it is needless to say that she has a noble status. She can't be offended, and it is best to please her. If she can't, just avoid it. Just offend the person.

She was a little apprehensive before seeing the first princess, but now she is relieved, even if the first princess feels fresh because she and her younger sister are twin sisters, it doesn't matter to them, it's a good idea It started, as long as they didn't do anything to annoy the eldest princess, then they wouldn't offend the people in the Prince's Mansion.

Hearing the question from the eldest concubine, Cao Heying took a step forward, bent her knees, and said crisply: "If you go back to the concubine, He Ying is the elder sister, He Xiang is the younger sister, and I am He Ying."

Cao Hexiang also took a step forward: "I am Hexiang, my younger sister."

The eldest princess nodded and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I really can't tell which of you is the older sister and which is the younger sister!"

"If you go back to the princess, although He Ying and her younger sister are wearing the same clothes, the hair accessories on He Ying's head are different from her younger sister's. The princess can tell the difference between He Ying and her younger sister based on this."

"Oh, so the hair accessories on the head are different? Come closer and let my concubine take a look."

The two sisters of the Cao family approached Qiqi, lowered their heads slightly, and let the eldest prince and concubine see what happened.

"Hey, really, it really is different."

"No, otherwise, I really don't know how to tell the two sisters apart!"

"Yeah, I made a mistake last time. I took my sister as my sister, and my sister as my sister. I almost made a joke!"

Sitting next to the First Princess Concubine were a few young women who seemed to be very familiar with the First Prince Concubine and spoke in an intimate manner.

"Since you have come to my concubine's mansion today, you can be as you please, you don't have to be too restrained." The eldest prince concubine said with a smile on her face.

While talking, another servant girl came to report that the young lady of Duke Mo's mansion had come, and the eldest prince concubine's eyebrows, which were shaped like a crescent moon, couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then she showed a smile as if nothing had happened and ordered: : "Please invite them in!"

Then everyone saw a few girls walking in one after the other, and the leader was Mo Xuerui?Mo Xuerui was followed by her own cousins, all of whom were descendants. For the banquet hosted by the First Prince and Concubine, concubines were definitely not eligible to come, and those who could come were all daughters who were descendants.

Mo Xuerui led the younger sisters in the family to salute the eldest princess in a respectful manner, which made the eldest princess look better. Although everyone said that Mo Xuerui was a person who knew how to be polite, but she still felt in her heart because of She criticized Jue Lin for her behavior of running after her.But now it seems that it is still possible, but then the eldest princess thought that the little prince Juelin might come later...

Thinking of the eldest concubine's Liu Mei, she couldn't help but frowned tightly, wondering if she should keep Mo Xuerui away, lest she see Jue Lin do something out of the ordinary?
Everyone in the hall noticed the look of the eldest princess, and saw that she frowned when she saw Mo Xuerui, and they all knew that the eldest princess thought she disliked Miss Mo's mansion, but since she didn't like Miss Mo Why do you want to invite others to come?Doesn't this offend others while bothering oneself?Invite people to come, but don't give others a good face, the Mo Guogong's mansion is not a small family, the eldest prince is not easy to offend Mo Guogong, right?
Mo Xuerui also saw the look on the eldest princess' concubine, but she didn't show the slightest expression of inappropriateness. She went to her seat and sat down, and started talking in a low voice with the acquaintance next to her.

Seeing her like this, many people present were relieved. The eldest concubine is not easy to mess with, and this Mo Xuerui is also not easy to mess with. If Mo Xuerui couldn't bear it and broke out on the spot, the two would definitely quarrel. If you wake up, it will be difficult to clean up.

Who knew that everyone was relieved after a breath, and another maid came in to report that Miss Xiao Fumu had arrived, and everyone's hearts were suddenly raised again.

Miss Mu, isn't she the fiancee of the young prince Juelin?The eldest concubine also invited her, so she's still here?Didn't she always stay out of these parties and stuff?Why are you here this time, and Ms. Mo is here too!God, Miss Mo won't do anything when she sees Miss Mu, right?
Someone sneaked a glance at Mo Xuerui, and sure enough, she saw that her face darkened slightly, and her brows were wrinkled.

Cao Heying was also a little surprised when the maid said that Miss Mu had arrived. Didn't Mu Jinxi not attend such a banquet?It has been more than half a year since she came to the capital, but she has never participated in any banquet alone. She has attended with the prime minister's wife. Their family held it after the Ghost Festival. Because mother and the prime minister's wife have a good relationship, so The prime minister's wife came that time, and she brought Mu Jinxi with her. Besides, I saw Mu Jinxi once at Mr. Yu Shi's banquet, but they were all with the prime minister's wife.

This time she came by herself?It's really surprising.

Cao Hexiang frowned, she didn't know why she didn't like this Mu Jinxi, she always felt a bit of resistance in her heart, this feeling was very strange, she couldn't explain why this happened, she didn't know this Mu Jinxi herself , I have never been in contact with her, and I have met twice, once in the palace and once in my own mansion, but nothing happened these two times, and the two of them didn't even talk.But she just didn't like Mu Jinxi, and she couldn't tell why.

So now that she heard that Mu Jinxi had come, Cao Hexiang felt a little uncomfortable again, and she hurriedly lowered her head to prevent others from seeing it.

Today, Mu Jinxi would not dress too casually for the flower viewing banquet held in the Grand Concubine's Mansion. She dressed up a little so that she would not be rude to others, nor would she be too out of the ordinary to make people jealous.

Today she is wearing a waist-length double-breasted skirt, with a sky-blue upper skirt, embroidered with small white flowers, like orchids and plums, bright yellow piping, the lower skirt is also bright yellow, and the skirt is made of sky blue. The silk thread is embroidered with butterfly love flowers, and the two colors collide, adding a touch of liveliness and charm.

There is only a thin layer of powder on her face, which makes her skin look more fragile. Her eyebrows are not like the curved willow leaf eyebrows that the daughter of the noble lady in the capital likes. They look a little thick and flat , but an angular arc was trimmed at the peak of the eyebrows. Under the flat and thick eyebrows, a pair of almond-shaped eyes are shining, but they don't look weak, but they give people a sense of heroism.Qiong's nose was straight, her red lips were not tinged but vermilion, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, as if she was smiling.The bun on the head is also simple, but there are two hairpins inserted obliquely, both are silver ornaments, and there is a tassel bow, the hanging tassels hang on the side of the black hair, and the two strands of black hair on the chest are shining black and bright. Glossy, tied with two azure ribbons.

Seeing Mu Jinxi like this, the first princess couldn't help but startled.

Before she heard people in the house say that this Mu Jinxi loves to do business, and the image of Mu Jinxi in her mind is a man who smells like money, likes to wear gold and silver, and looks tacky, but when she sees her now, she realizes that it's not what she thought In that way, this Mu Jinxi is not only not full of copper stink and vulgar, but also has her own elegant temperament. She walks gracefully, not walking with small steps like ordinary ladies, but it will not make people think that she is rude and has no manners , On the contrary, it makes people feel very imposing!
The eldest concubine looked at Mu Jinxi in a daze, and did not come back to herself until she saluted herself, and asked suspiciously: "Are you Mu Jinxi?"

"It's Mu's Jinxi. Jinxi has met the princess, and the princess Jin'an."

The first princess frowned and stared at Mu Jinxi, and Mu Jinxi didn't feel uncomfortable, and calmly let the first princess look at herself.

On the contrary, a nun next to the eldest princess felt that her behavior was really inappropriate, so she gently reminded her to withdraw her suspicious look, and talked to Mu Jinxi as if nothing had happened before letting her go aside He sat down on the seat, so it happened that he was sitting next to Mo Xuerui.

As soon as Mu Jinxi sat down, Mo Xuerui taunted: "Didn't you always disdain to attend these banquets? Why did you come today? Oh, I saw that the post was frightened by the eldest princess, so it's not good to come here to offend others, so Did you just run over eagerly?"

The lady sitting next to Mo Xuerui couldn't help shrinking her body.

With a slight smile on Mu Jinxi's face, she turned her head and glanced at Mo Xuerui and said, "Miss Mo was joking, I don't disdain it, it's just that I haven't come to the capital for long, and there are still many things I don't understand, so I'm afraid to go I offended people when I said the wrong thing at the banquet, so I was taught by my aunt in the mansion for a while before going out. It would be bad if everyone's interest was spoiled because of me, right? One must know the code of self-knowledge, Mo Don't you think so, Miss?"

"Hmph, do you have self-knowledge? I think you are a person with eyes above the top! If you have self-knowledge, why would you agree to marry me?"

"Oh, bestowing a marriage, that's the emperor's intention. I'm just an ordinary citizen, how can I have the guts to refuse the emperor's marriage offer?" Mu Jinxi said with a soft sigh.

"Speaking is better than singing! You are a double-faced woman, a bad woman!" Mo Xuerui gritted her teeth and said.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Did you lie to me again that day in the Red Mansion?"

"How did I lie to you? Didn't I have someone send the tea set and essential oil you asked for to the Duke Mo's mansion?"

"But you asked me to help you... It's simply too difficult for others!"

"How come? I believe that such a small matter is a matter of little effort for Miss Mo. How can it be difficult for others? I think highly of you and believe in your ability, so I ask you to help me. Miss Mo, you Don't get me wrong!"

"You eloquent fellow! You can eat people without spit out bones!"

"I don't eat Miss Mo."

"..."

Mo Xuerui and Mu Jinxi leaned towards each other, and leaned their heads together again. One could tell what the two were talking about at a glance. If it wasn't for the unusual relationship between the two, people would still see it I thought these two were whispering something, but the expression on Mo Xuerui's face, the expression on her face inadvertently, was distorted and angry, so everyone was wondering if Mu Jinxi said something to stimulate her When it came to Mo Xuerui, why did she get so angry?
The eldest princess saw the suspicious interaction between the two in her seat, and she was also afraid that the two would get into trouble and ruin her purpose for today, so she looked at the time and said: "There is still a while before the flower viewing feast, why don't you all follow along?" My concubine, let's go for a walk in the garden, there are many exotic flowers and plants planted in the garden in the mansion, everyone can enjoy it at will, and there is no need to sit here."

When everyone heard what the First Princess said, they all nodded and agreed, and the First Princess got up first and walked out, and the others followed behind her.

Seeing this, Mo Xuerui could only temporarily stop the fighting with Mu Jinxi, and led her cousin to leave.Mu Jinxi shrugged her shoulders, stood up slowly, and prepared to follow slowly at the end.

"Miss Mu, please wait, I, I have a question, can I ask you?"
