The Pastoral Empress Merchant
Chapter 703 Ridiculous Hostility
Chapter 703 Ridiculous Hostility
Mu Jinxi, who was about to go out with the crowd, only took a few steps when she heard a hesitant voice behind her.
Miss Mu, you should be calling her, right?Besides her, there is no one with the surname Mu here, right?But does she know anyone besides Mo Xuerui?She thought so in her heart, but Mu Jinxi still slowed down, looked back, and raised her eyebrows.
Ah, this is, it seems to be a young lady from Yin's House in Jingzhao Mansion, but I don't know whether it is my sister or sister who stopped me in front of me.
"I don't know what Miss Cao wants to ask?" Mu Jinxi asked with a faint smile on her face, and she didn't show any unpleasant emotions because she called her to stop rashly.
The person who stopped Mu Jinxi was Cao Hexiang. I don't know if it was because she saw that familiar figure when she entered the mansion, which reminded her of what happened on the Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town, as well as the time she saw in the palace. When Mu Jinxi felt she was familiar, she suddenly realized that the reason why she felt familiar was because Mu Jinxi's back was very similar to the son's wife on the Lantern Festival!
Her heart couldn't help but panic. Could it be a coincidence?Mu Jinxi's back looks very similar to that lady, and I saw a back that looks very similar to that young man today, if Mu Jinxi is that lady, then that young man may be in the capital!
Cao Hexiang's heart was so excited because of this guess, she was so excited that she subconsciously forgot that Mu Jinxi was given a marriage in the palace, and she couldn't wait to confirm her guess, so she couldn't help but stood up when Mu Jinxi was about to leave when he stopped her.
She knew that she shouldn't be like this, even if Mu Jinxi was that lady, it didn't matter to her, she was that young master's wife, that young master himself admitted, and the husband and wife were loving, even if she knew that they came to the capital, what would happen? How about it, they just met by chance, and they have nothing to do with each other at all, maybe people have already forgotten the two sisters.
Her rash probing like this might be annoying, but, but she couldn't help it, really couldn't help it!She didn't know why she couldn't forget that son, she hadn't even seen his full face yet!
However, half of his face, and his pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, are clear and cold, like a pool of spring water under the moon, calm and unwavering, even a little indifferent, but when facing his wife, he will be pale. There is a little tenderness, like the cold moonlight is also dyed with warmth.There is also his noble temperament that can't be concealed all over his body. She doesn't believe that he is just an ordinary rich man!The woman standing next to him should be even more outstanding, not the one who looks so ordinary.
She wanted to listen to her sister's words and forget what happened that day, but that son's indifferent red phoenix eyes often appeared in her dreams, and she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to!It was only in the last half a year, and with the passage of time, she had to realize the fact that she and that couple just met once, they were not from the capital city, and the capital city is thousands of miles away from Taohua Town, it is impossible for them to meet again .
She tried her best to convince herself, and pressed those eyes to the deepest part of her heart to bury them.But at this moment, she first met a back figure that was very similar to that lady, and now she saw a back figure that was very similar to that young man, and all her sealed memories suddenly came back, what happened on the Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town It became more and more clear.
Cao Hexiang looked at the woman standing in front of her, and tried to overlap the figure in her mind with the one in front of her, but she found that it was useless. That night, the whole family was wearing masks, so they couldn't see clearly. Appearance, I just saw the figure, and it was winter at that time, and I was wearing a lot of clothes. Now it is summer, and I just wear a thin skirt, so there is no way to compare.
"Miss Cao? If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. If we waste too much time, it will attract attention. Then it will be difficult to answer the princess's questions." Looking at himself, he couldn't help reminding.
Cao Hexiang bit her tender red lips, hesitation flashed across her face, but she quickly became firm, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Miss Mu's hometown is Taohua Town thousands of miles away, I heard It is said that the Shangyuan Festival there is very lively, I wonder if Miss Mu has ever visited it during the Shangyuan Festival?"
Lantern Festival, Peach Blossom Town?
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, she was sure that the one in front of her should be Cao Hexiang, the younger sister of the twin sisters.
Why, when you ask her about Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town, do you think she looks familiar and want to test her?Or want to test another person's news?Could it be that this younger sister is still obsessed with Jue Lin?It has been more than a year, does she still remember Jue Lin?
Hearing Cao Hexiang's words, Mu Jinxi didn't speak, but just stared at Cao Hexiang fiercely. Cao Hexiang had a ghost in his heart. After asking the question, Mu Jinxi didn't dare to look at Mu Jinxi directly. She lowered her head, so she didn't know that Mu Jinxi was staring at Cao Hexiang. She looked, her face was full of sarcasm.
It wasn't until Cao Hexiang didn't hear Mu Jinxi's voice for a long time that she couldn't help raising her head to look at her strangely, and said timidly: "Miss Mu, am I being too abrupt? I'm really sorry, I'm just, just curious, That's why-"
"No, the Lantern Festival in Taohua Town is indeed very lively, but I don't live in Taohua Town, but in a village in Taohua Town. This village is a bit far from Taohua Town, and I rarely go to Taohua Town. , not to mention going to join in the fun during the Lantern Festival. You should have heard about me. Before I came to the capital, my life was not good. How can I go to Taohua Town on the Lantern Festival? What about it?" When Mu Jinxi said these words, her tone was very flat, without the slightest bit of embarrassment, nor the slightest bit of inferiority complex, as if she didn't care at all when some people talked about her miserable past, she was very calm.
But Cao Hexiang felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it. She wondered if it was Mu Jinxi who thought she knew she had a bad life before and asked her this on purpose in order to laugh at her, so she answered herself like this?
"Miss Mu, I'm sorry, I, I have no other meaning, I just want to ask out of curiosity, no, I don't want to laugh at you, please don't get me wrong." Cao Hexiang explained.
She is Prime Minister Xiao's niece, and she cannot offend her, and her mother and the prime minister's wife are on good terms, if Mu Jinxi goes back and says something bad to the prime minister's wife, she may even hurt her mother.
"Miss Cao, don't worry, I don't think you are laughing at me. I don't think there is anything difficult to say about my past. Although my life has been a little bit harder, I have a clear conscience and I haven't done anything that I shouldn't What I did, so there is no need to avoid talking about my past. I should say sorry. I can't answer for Ms. Cao. I don't know much about the Lantern Festival in Taohua Town. I just listened to others. started."
When Cao Hexiang heard what Mu Jinxi said, she felt even more uneasy, and always felt that there was something in her words.What does it mean to have a clear conscience and not have done something that shouldn't be done?Is she alluding to herself?Or in fact, she is the young master's wife who recognized her and saw that she was inquiring about that day, so she said that on purpose to remind herself?Is that right?If this is the case, why does she say that she has not participated in the activities of the Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town, why does she deny that she has been to Peach Blossom Town during the Lantern Festival?
Then Cao Hexiang remembered something, bestow marriage!Yes!She has already been given a marriage by the emperor to that little prince Juelin!But, isn't she already married?Isn't she the son's wife?The two also have a son who is a few years old!Then why did the emperor give her a marriage, and the object is still a prince?
Could it be because the son is not a person of status, and after Mu Jinxi was recognized by Prime Minister Xiao and returned to the Xiao family, Prime Minister Xiao disliked that son, so he came up with such a way to conceal the fact that Mu Jinxi was married and had a child, and did not know What method did you use to get the emperor to marry you?This, isn't this the crime of deceiving the emperor?How dare Prime Minister Xiao? !
And Mu Jinxi, how could she be like this, she is obviously married and has a child, how dare she still dare to lie to the emperor, isn't she afraid that the matter will be exposed one day and it will lead to death?And Prime Minister Xiao, the crime of deceiving the emperor will be beheaded!And that young master... If I really think so, then that young master will definitely not be in the capital, and it is even less likely that he will appear in a place like the First Prince's Mansion. He must have been left in Taohua by Mu Jinxi and the Xiao family Town, and even may have been silenced!
Thinking of this possibility, Cao Hexiang's complexion suddenly turned pale, and she felt as if her heart was tightly grasped by someone, and even breathing became difficult.
Mu Jinxi looked at Cao Hexiang's face suddenly changed in surprise, and grabbed the clothes in front of her chest with her hands, as if she had received some big blow suddenly.Seeing that her complexion was not right, Mu Jinxi couldn't help asking with concern: "Miss Cao, are you alright?"
While talking, she also kindly wanted to help Cao Hexiang, who knew that just as she stretched out her hand, Cao Hexiang avoided her hand as if she had been pricked by a needle.
Mu Jinxi's eyes changed slightly, and her complexion turned cold. She said lightly, "It seems that Miss Cao doesn't like me very much. If that's the case, why bother calling me? Although I don't think there is anything wrong with being poor, but I also don't like others to look down on me because of this! Since Miss Cao is fine, then Jinxi will go first!" Mu Jinxi walked away after finishing speaking, followed her color screen and gave Cao Hexiang a secret glance before following up.
snort!Before going out, the master had already told her carefully, asking her to take good care of Miss Biao, and not to be bullied by others, and told her to keep an eye on her, to see who would show hostility to Miss Biao at the flower viewing banquet of.No matter how much she thought about it, she never thought that she would be the lady of the Cao family. Isn't Mrs. Cao's relationship with their wives very good?Then why did her daughter treat their cousin like this?Miss Biao cared about her kindly, but what happened to her?He actually trampled Miss Biao's good intentions on the ground!unacceptable!
Just wait and see, she will definitely tell the master and madam the truth when she goes back!
Seeing that Miss Mu left with a bad complexion, and her maid gave her a look before leaving, Cao Hexiang's maid hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Second Miss, are you okay? What, why did you care so much just now?" Did you accept Miss Mu's kindness? This servant sees Miss Mu's complexion very badly!"
If Miss Mu returns to the prime minister's mansion and cries to the prime minister that the second miss treats her like this, will the prime minister offend their master?I heard that the Prime Minister dotes on Miss Mu's niece very much!
Cao Hexiang was stunned, she hadn't recovered from the speculation just now, but she seemed to have heard what her maid was saying, so she said in a daze, "What did you say?"
Seeing her lady's dazed look, the servant girl became even more worried, and said anxiously: "Second Miss, you seem to have offended Miss Mu just now! Why are you not worried at all! What if she goes back to add fuel to the picture and talk nonsense to the Prime Minister, then It will implicate the master!"
Only then did Cao Hexiang remember what happened just now, remembering that Mu Jinxi wanted to come to help her, and herself... Thinking of her reaction just now, Cao Hexiang's complexion, which had just returned to normal, suddenly turned pale again.
"I, I didn't do it on purpose, it's just... I was thinking about things at that time, and I didn't even know what happened..." Cao Hexiang lowered her head, with a look of worry on her pretty face and a little guilty conscience.
She was thinking about that young master just now, and was frightened by the guess in her heart, that's why she retracted reflexively when Mu Jinxi stretched out her hand towards her.She, she didn't mean to, just, just...
"Second Miss, let's catch up and explain clearly. If Miss Mu really thinks that you are looking down on her as she said, and that you have contempt for her, it will be terrible!"
"What? I didn't look down on her, let alone despise her. Who said that?"
The servant girl was surprised, "Second Miss, didn't you hear what Miss Mu said just now? She said you did it on purpose, and she stopped her to ask her something if she didn't like her, and she answered you, and you are like this again, she is kind She wanted to care about you, but you trampled her kindness on the ground... Didn't you even listen, Miss Second? Miss Second, what happened to you today?"
"I--"
"Oh, Second Miss, why are you still here? The Eldest Miss didn't see you following behind and thought you didn't know where you were going. She was so worried! Everyone has passed, Second Miss, you should hurry over too. Otherwise, it will be bad if the First Princess finds out later."
It was Cao Heying's maid who was ordered to go back and look for someone.
Cao Hexiang reacted quickly and said before the servant girl spoke, "I'll go over now, I was a little dizzy just now, so I sat for a while longer to make my sister worry."
"Second Miss, are you alright? Would you like me to tell the Eldest Miss, and trouble the Eldest Princess to ask the doctor to show the Second Miss?"
"No, no, no! I'm fine now, you don't need to tell my sister, lest she worry again." Cao Hexiang said hastily, and walked forward first, and the two maids looked at each other and followed.
When Cao Hexiang arrived in the garden, she realized that there were already a lot of people, and it was almost the time for the banquet to start. Almost all the people who received the post had already arrived, chatting and laughing in twos and threes, sitting or standing.
Mu Jinxi...Even if she didn't pay attention deliberately, Cao Hexiang saw her at the first sight, and saw her standing beside her with a normal face, and the person standing beside her was Miss Mo Xuerui from the Mo residence.
Cao Hexiang frowned, a little confused, and forgot to look back at Mu Jinxi for a moment.
Mu Jinxi was arguing with Mo Xuerui when she felt a gaze staring at her, at first she thought it was the eldest princess, but who knew it was that Cao Hexiang again.Is she going to follow her?Does she know that she is the person from Shangyuan Festival in Peach Blossom Town or is she just suspicious now?It should be just suspicion, right?The question just now was just a test. After all, I was wearing a mask back then. Is Cao Hexiang capable of recognizing herself?
Hehe, so what if she doubts it?Does she have proof that she is that woman?She shouldn't be so stupid that she ran to tell someone because of her slight doubts, right?But if you really doubt yourself, it is actually a bit troublesome.At that time, I, Jue Lin and Xiaobao pretended to be a family to participate in the game, and they used the identity of a married woman, but now I am clearly a girl who has not left the cabinet!
If this Cao Hexiang insists on pestering her, I really can't guarantee that she won't find anything. Anyway, she should pay more attention. Now there are tigers and wolves!Eldest prince, the suspicion of the second prince has not dissipated yet. Here comes another Cao Hexiang, what's the matter?
It's all Jue Lin's fault, isn't Cao Hexiang the one who attracts bees and butterflies because he is thinking about him, so he is now focusing on her?Cao Hexiang must have made up a lot of conspiracy and other things in his head, maybe he is feeling sorry for Juelin at the moment, and it is worth it for him!
Thinking about it, Mu Jinxi couldn't help grinding her teeth, wishing she could call Jue Lin in front of her and sneer at her right now.
"Hey, do you have a problem with the second lady of Jingzhao Mansion Yin? Otherwise, why would she stare at you as if you were her husband's murderer?" Mo Xuerui said suddenly.
Mu Jinxi glanced at her and said indifferently: "How do I know this, you have to know that sometimes even if you have never done anything, you will still offend people. I have never done anything to be sorry for others, but it does not mean Others feel the same way."
"Hehe, this shows that you have a problem with your character, why don't you see others treat me like this?" Mo Xuerui said proudly.
Mu Jinxi looked at her with a half-smile, and after a while she suddenly turned serious and asked: "Miss Mo, do you feel your face is hot?" Mo Xuerui was startled, blinked her eyes, and looked a little dull He replied, "No. Why do you ask that?"
Hot face?Does it have anything to do with her problem?
Mu Jinxi looked at Mo Xuerui seriously and said solemnly: "Blush, if you blush, you will feel hot."
Mo Xuerui frowned, still not understanding what she meant when she said that suddenly.What do you mean when you blush?
Mo Xuerui looked at Mu Jinxi in confusion, and Mu Jinxi looked back at her with a sincere face, clearly saying something in her eyes.
While staring into Mu Jinxi's eyes, Mo Xuerui was thinking about what she said just now, and Mo Xuerui's complexion changed when thinking about it.
Blushing, blushing will make you feel hot, yes, if you blush, your face will feel a little hot, but why do you blush?Because she said those words, right? After she said those words, Mu Jinxi asked her if she felt her face was burning hot, which meant that she should be blushing, right? That meant her, what she said was shameless ?Should she be ashamed?
"Miss Mo, you've finally figured it out, so I'm relieved." But Mu Jinxi added fuel to the fire, causing Mo Xuerui's pretty face to contort. She was probably about to jump up and yell at Mu Jinxi directly.
"Mu Jinxi! You are a wolf-hearted dog, I kindly remind you, but you are repaying your kindness with revenge, right?" Mo Xuerui gritted her teeth.
"How? I am very grateful to you, Ms. Mo, but I really don't have any feuds with that Second Miss Cao. We have only met twice. How could there be any feuds? Maybe she used to like Jue Lin too, So I became Jue Lin's fiancée and she has a grudge against me?" Mu Jinxi said half-jokingly.
Who knew that Mo Xuerui frowned, and began to think seriously, and after a while, she nodded seriously and said, "I think it's probably because of this, it's just this Cao When did the second miss meet the little prince Juelin, and still have a secret love for him? It’s just that if you are not worthy of the little prince Juelin, she will be even more unworthy. Although she is now the daughter of Jingzhaofu Yin Miss, but you were only transferred to the capital more than a year ago, and you are not considered a nobleman in the capital! You still have an uncle who is the prime minister, what does she have? She is far behind her sister!"
Cao Heying?Mu Jinxi's eyes fell on Cao Heying on the other side, and she agreed with Mo Xuerui's words.When she was in Taohua Town, she could tell that Cao Heying, the older sister, was more stable than Cao Hexiang, the younger sister. It's all about your own preferences and nothing else.
When we were in Taohua Town, if Cao Heying hadn’t been watching and blocking them, I really don’t know how long Cao Hexiang would pester them. Lin's wife had a son with her, but she still did not shy away from showing different thoughts towards Jue Lin. Could it be that Mr. Cao worked outside the customs before coming to the capital?I heard that the customs outside the pass are quite different from those inside the pass, so why is Cao Hexiang so bold?
"Well, Cao Heying looks better than Cao Hexiang, hey, look at Cao Heying, do you think she is good enough for your second brother?" Mu Jinxi messed up again.
Mo Xuerui stared, and said angrily: "Even if I don't get close to my second brother, I still don't want to see his bad luck. Neither Cao Hexiang nor Cao Heying are good enough for my second brother! You just Don't mess around with mandarin ducks, if you really want to, don't you still have two cousins and a big brother, give your brothers some mandarin ducks!"
"Give them some? This—"
Before Mu Jinxi finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mo Xuerui, "No, you can't order mandarin ducks for your elder brother, your elder brother has already been ordered by me, you can only order mandarin ducks for your two cousins! "
Mu Jinxi stared at Mo Xuerui, "Why do you still remember what happened that day, shouldn't you forget it?"
"What did you say? Forget? Who wants to forget? Let me tell you, I'm serious. If you play tricks, you and your elder brother will suffer in the end! Go back and tell your elder brother that he belongs to me! I We will definitely catch him, just wait and see!" Mo Xuerui was full of confidence.
Mu Jinxi felt curious, why did she think that she would be able to catch up with her eldest brother and become his wife?Could it be because of her identity?But is it not important to the eldest brother that she doesn't know her identity?Brother is not that kind of person, just like when he was cheated before, if he was a person who valued his status, he wouldn't be cheated so easily and almost lost himself.
And according to her, Mo Xuerui shouldn't be the type that big brother likes, right?
Huh?What type of girl does the eldest brother like?Mu Jinxi suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know what kind of girl her elder brother liked.Judging from the personality of the eldest brother, he should like the kind of traditional ladies who don't leave home, obey their parents at home, and obey their husband after they get married. Parents, take good care of my sister-in-law, be diligent and thrifty in managing the house... Mo Xuerui is not such a person in any way, she has nothing to do with these beautiful virtues, right?
So the eldest brother will not like her. If she really takes what she said that day seriously, then she must be the one who suffers and gets hurt in the end. To be honest, she doesn't want to see Mo Xuerui get hurt. After this period of time After contacting her, she was already sure that Mo Xuerui was not a bad person, but he was a little willful and lonely.
Yes, lonely.Although she is the concubine's daughter of Duke Mo's mansion, she only has two older brothers and no other sisters. There are a few concubines, but concubines and concubines are natural enemies, so how can they be expected to live in peace?Although Mo Guogong and his wife also love her, it is impossible to accompany her every day when they are in love. The two elder brothers are also very indifferent to her. One ignores others, and the other sees her like an enemy. She is sure It was uncomfortable, so I had to use some alternative methods to attract the attention of others.
This is the same as those teenagers who were in the rebellious period in the previous life. Without the love of their family members, they wanted to get attention by stupid methods such as causing trouble everywhere. Mo Xuerui was also like this at all.After seeing it clearly, she also felt pity for Mo Xuerui, so she didn't want her to be hurt emotionally in the future.
Feeling strange in her heart, she asked. Who knew that Mo Xuerui would not tell her, for fear that she would sabotage and spoil her good deeds.
Mu Jinxi twitched the corners of her mouth, and thought to herself that even if she didn't cause sabotage, she wouldn't be able to succeed, okay?If she can't say it, maybe she will help her a few times if she is soft-hearted.
Regardless of other people's strange and speculative gazes, the two whispered to each other, and the flower viewing feast officially started after a while.
It’s really nothing to say that it’s an official start, just let the eldest princess say a few words, and then lead everyone to the pond full of lotus flowers, maybe there will be some activities, that’s all, a banquet or something It's all the same.Mu Jinxi didn't really want to come to these banquets at first, and now she seemed a little less interested, but she finally didn't show it on her face, otherwise people would say something about her if they saw her.
After walking around for a while, everyone arrived at a hexagonal pavilion with double eaves in the garden. This pavilion was called the Lotus Appreciation Pavilion, and it was built in the middle of the lotus pond in the First Prince's Mansion. There is a long stone corridor between the waterside pavilion and the lotus appreciation pavilion. Walking on it, you can not only enjoy the lotus at close range, but also reach out and touch it, and smell the fragrance of the lotus with your head down.
When they arrived here, the ladies couldn't wait to walk up to the stone corridor to see these lotus flowers at close range, because there are many varieties of lotus flowers in the First Prince's Mansion, and they are all rare varieties.Although not every household has planted lotus, there are quite a few families who have planted lotus, but there are not as many as in the First Prince's Mansion. There are also those rare varieties, some of which can't be obtained with money.
Mu Jinxi is not very interested in flowers and plants, no matter in her previous life or in this life, she has no such pleasure in admiring flowers and plants, she has too many things to do, but it can’t be said that she has no taste, it’s just a hobby It's just different, she still understands what she should understand, the lotus flowers in the First Prince's Mansion are indeed excellent, but when she looked at them, what she thought in her mind was whether it is possible to use these lotus flowers to extract essential oil?
If the eldest princess knew that her beloved lotus was thought of by Mu Jinxi, she would probably turn blue with anger. Originally, she invited her to inquire about her and the young prince Juelin, but she was already very reluctant. I don't know what to do if I want to ruin my beloved lotus, I don't know what it means!
Facing the pond full of lotus, even if you don’t like it, looking at it is a pleasing thing. Everyone likes to see beautiful things. It happens that there is a lotus in the names of the two sisters of the Cao family. To understand or to make things difficult for others, someone asked after arriving at the Lotus Appreciation Pavilion.
"Miss Cao, both of your sisters have the word lotus in their names. You must have a different understanding of lotus, right? Just tell us, let us understand, so that we don't have to read books when we go back. Trouble, everyone said, right?"
"Yes, yes, one of your sisters is called He Xiang and the other is called He Ying. Both the fragrance and shadow of the lotus are taken by you two sisters. If you can't explain why, we will not follow!"
Seeing this, the eldest concubine also smiled and said: "Since everyone has said so, Ms. Cao might as well show her hand."
Cao Heying stood up from her seat, bowed her knees towards the eldest princess and said with a smile, "I dare not say anything if you show your hands. He Ying only knows a little bit about it. Thanks to everyone and the prince's concubine, He Ying will make a fool of herself. If If there is anything wrong, I ask the princess to point it out."
Mu Jinxi sat quietly in her seat, and when she heard Cao Heying's answer, she confirmed again that this older sister was much better than her younger sister. If Cao Hexiang were replaced, she probably wouldn't be able to answer so well. Will not offend the eldest princess.
This is the First Prince's Mansion, and the person who loves lotus is the First Prince's Concubine. Is there anyone who knows these things better than the First Prince's Concubine?Those young ladies knew this and said that on purpose. If she was not careful, she would offend the First Concubine, but what she said just now, asking the First Concubine to give advice, meant to imply that she didn't know much, and she still needed the First Concubine to give her advice. Second, this can be regarded as a compliment to the eldest prince and concubine.
Mu Jinxi looked towards the eldest princess, and sure enough, she saw a satisfied smile on the eldest princess's face.
Cao Heying calmly explained to everyone about the lotus after receiving the permission of the eldest concubine. A lotus outside the lotus pavilion, looking at the emerald green lotus leaves, pink and attractive petals, and slender and swaying branches, she couldn't help reaching out to pick this fragrant lotus. up.
One was absorbed in watching without paying attention, and it was not until a voice came from beside her that she regained her sanity.
"What?" Mu Jinxi looked at everyone in a daze and asked, she seemed to have heard someone talking about herself just now?
Mo Xuerui glanced at the person who spoke just now, and then said lightly to Mu Jinxi: "Second Miss Cao asked you just now, is it because you dislike Miss Cao's boring talk, that's why you turned your head away in a dispirited look. Look at the scenery outside, and don't listen to other people's kind explanations."
Cao Hexiang's complexion changed slightly, she bit her lip, and glanced at Mo Xuerui unhappily, feeling that she was trying to sow discord, she didn't say that at all, she just asked Mu Jinxi what she was looking at.Because my sister was talking, but Mu Jinxi acted perfunctorily as if she wasn't listening, as if she already knew what her sister was saying, so she just asked a question blindly. How could she be like Mo Xuerui? said.
As soon as Mo Xuerui's words came out, everyone fell silent. It was Cao Heying who came to his senses first, and said with a smile, "I made Miss Mu laugh. Fiddled with in front of him, He Ying will feel uncomfortable when she is nervous, let alone other things, it is reasonable for Miss Mu to feel boring."
Cao Heying's words relieved the embarrassing atmosphere brought about by Mo Xuerui's words. Mu Jinxi glanced at Cao Hexiang lightly, and said to Cao Heying: "Where is it that Miss Cao's words are boring? On the contrary, she just said too much. It became vivid, so I couldn't help but look at those lotus flowers, without Miss Cao's explanation, I didn't know there are so many famous things about lotus flowers."
The eldest princess's smile faded when she heard what Mo Xuerui said, and she was even more displeased with her in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface, she just said to Cao Heying: "Yes, Miss Mu said That's right, my concubine also thinks that Miss Cao's words are very good, some things even my concubine doesn't know, and I only understand after listening to Miss Cao's words. Fortunately, this concubine still claims to love lotus, it seems that I will hate it in the future. Make it up."
Cao Heying naturally had something to say before she revealed the matter.
After being teased by Mo Xuerui, everyone didn't dare to say anything, for fear that they would say something embarrassing if they were being watched by her.
After Cao Heying sat back in her seat, the decent smile on her face faded when no one else was paying attention, and she asked her sister in a low voice: "What were you doing just now? Go and provoke Miss Mu." do what?"
Cao Hexiang was a little guilty, she lowered her head and pretended to be unhappy, and said: "I just can't see it, sister, you said so well there, but she looks disgusted and perfunctory, she clearly looks down on sister You, maybe she doesn't know as much as my sister, so why should I look down on you!"
Cao Heying gritted her teeth, a little resentful, "I want you to be troublesome! How do you know that people look down on me? Do you have to stare at me to be considered listening to me seriously? She looks at the lotus and you let me She is optimistic, the eldest concubine didn't say anything, why are you joining in the fun? Don't think I don't know, you have been staring at Miss Mu today, are you treating everyone as a fool, don't you stare at her What kind of eyes are you looking at? If you don't restrain yourself, what will happen to you if someone catches you, I'll see what you will do!"
She was really pissed off. Originally, she noticed something wrong with her and wanted to remind her, but when she thought that this is the Grand Prince's Mansion, there are so many people, it would be bad if someone accidentally heard her, so she thought about going back and saying wait. Go back and talk about her carefully, who knows that she still caused trouble.
He'er, she didn't see Mu Jinxi's faint glance just now, it seemed nothing, but a look of displeasure flashed in Xing's eyes, her maid had already told her what she noticed in the hall just now Yes, she had secretly yelled that something was wrong at that time, and after forcing He'er's maid to ask clearly, she almost fainted from anger right now.If it wasn't in the First Prince's Mansion, she really wanted to reprimand He'er and see what she had done.
They don't need to please Mu Jinxi, but they can't offend others like this!It's good for her, she didn't know that she directly offended someone, no matter how bad Mu Jinxi was, she was Prime Minister Xiao's niece, and the fiancee of young prince Juelin, as for them, they just relied on their father!Can Daddy compare to Cheng?Is there any benefit to offending Prime Minister Xiao?
When Mu Jinxi followed the prime minister's wife to their residence for a banquet before, He'er behaved badly. Mother secretly asked herself if He'er and Mu Jinxi knew each other, and there was a holiday, but where did they know each other? What's more, it's nothing more than He Er's obsession with remembering a person who should have been forgotten a long time ago, something she has forgotten!
Peach Blossom Town, Lantern Festival, why does He'er still remember that incident?
"If you mess around again, I'll tell my mother what you did at the Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town that year when I go back!" Cao Heying said to her sister with a sullen face.
Cao Hexiang's complexion changed, she grabbed Cao Heying's hand and begged, "Sister, don't tell me, I know, I won't do nonsense anymore, can I just stop talking?"
It would be miserable for her mother to know about that. Although mother usually dotes on the two sisters, she will not let her do anything wrong.
Cao Heying loved her younger sister very much. Seeing that her expression changed with fright, her heart immediately softened, but she still said: "This time, my sister is telling the truth. If you are still self-willed, I will really tell mother when I go back."
"Sister, I promise, I promise that I will never do anything that I shouldn't do, don't worry."
The two sisters on this side were talking while looking at each other, and the eldest concubine on the other side finally couldn't help but speak.
"Miss Mu, why don't you tell us about the relationship between you and the young prince Juelin, we are very curious about how you two met."
I heard that the background often swallows sections recently. If you see that the updated text of Yuntun is a series of words without segmentation, don’t worry, it must be swallowed by the background, and Yuntun will change it later.
(End of this chapter)
Mu Jinxi, who was about to go out with the crowd, only took a few steps when she heard a hesitant voice behind her.
Miss Mu, you should be calling her, right?Besides her, there is no one with the surname Mu here, right?But does she know anyone besides Mo Xuerui?She thought so in her heart, but Mu Jinxi still slowed down, looked back, and raised her eyebrows.
Ah, this is, it seems to be a young lady from Yin's House in Jingzhao Mansion, but I don't know whether it is my sister or sister who stopped me in front of me.
"I don't know what Miss Cao wants to ask?" Mu Jinxi asked with a faint smile on her face, and she didn't show any unpleasant emotions because she called her to stop rashly.
The person who stopped Mu Jinxi was Cao Hexiang. I don't know if it was because she saw that familiar figure when she entered the mansion, which reminded her of what happened on the Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town, as well as the time she saw in the palace. When Mu Jinxi felt she was familiar, she suddenly realized that the reason why she felt familiar was because Mu Jinxi's back was very similar to the son's wife on the Lantern Festival!
Her heart couldn't help but panic. Could it be a coincidence?Mu Jinxi's back looks very similar to that lady, and I saw a back that looks very similar to that young man today, if Mu Jinxi is that lady, then that young man may be in the capital!
Cao Hexiang's heart was so excited because of this guess, she was so excited that she subconsciously forgot that Mu Jinxi was given a marriage in the palace, and she couldn't wait to confirm her guess, so she couldn't help but stood up when Mu Jinxi was about to leave when he stopped her.
She knew that she shouldn't be like this, even if Mu Jinxi was that lady, it didn't matter to her, she was that young master's wife, that young master himself admitted, and the husband and wife were loving, even if she knew that they came to the capital, what would happen? How about it, they just met by chance, and they have nothing to do with each other at all, maybe people have already forgotten the two sisters.
Her rash probing like this might be annoying, but, but she couldn't help it, really couldn't help it!She didn't know why she couldn't forget that son, she hadn't even seen his full face yet!
However, half of his face, and his pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, are clear and cold, like a pool of spring water under the moon, calm and unwavering, even a little indifferent, but when facing his wife, he will be pale. There is a little tenderness, like the cold moonlight is also dyed with warmth.There is also his noble temperament that can't be concealed all over his body. She doesn't believe that he is just an ordinary rich man!The woman standing next to him should be even more outstanding, not the one who looks so ordinary.
She wanted to listen to her sister's words and forget what happened that day, but that son's indifferent red phoenix eyes often appeared in her dreams, and she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to!It was only in the last half a year, and with the passage of time, she had to realize the fact that she and that couple just met once, they were not from the capital city, and the capital city is thousands of miles away from Taohua Town, it is impossible for them to meet again .
She tried her best to convince herself, and pressed those eyes to the deepest part of her heart to bury them.But at this moment, she first met a back figure that was very similar to that lady, and now she saw a back figure that was very similar to that young man, and all her sealed memories suddenly came back, what happened on the Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town It became more and more clear.
Cao Hexiang looked at the woman standing in front of her, and tried to overlap the figure in her mind with the one in front of her, but she found that it was useless. That night, the whole family was wearing masks, so they couldn't see clearly. Appearance, I just saw the figure, and it was winter at that time, and I was wearing a lot of clothes. Now it is summer, and I just wear a thin skirt, so there is no way to compare.
"Miss Cao? If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. If we waste too much time, it will attract attention. Then it will be difficult to answer the princess's questions." Looking at himself, he couldn't help reminding.
Cao Hexiang bit her tender red lips, hesitation flashed across her face, but she quickly became firm, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Miss Mu's hometown is Taohua Town thousands of miles away, I heard It is said that the Shangyuan Festival there is very lively, I wonder if Miss Mu has ever visited it during the Shangyuan Festival?"
Lantern Festival, Peach Blossom Town?
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, she was sure that the one in front of her should be Cao Hexiang, the younger sister of the twin sisters.
Why, when you ask her about Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town, do you think she looks familiar and want to test her?Or want to test another person's news?Could it be that this younger sister is still obsessed with Jue Lin?It has been more than a year, does she still remember Jue Lin?
Hearing Cao Hexiang's words, Mu Jinxi didn't speak, but just stared at Cao Hexiang fiercely. Cao Hexiang had a ghost in his heart. After asking the question, Mu Jinxi didn't dare to look at Mu Jinxi directly. She lowered her head, so she didn't know that Mu Jinxi was staring at Cao Hexiang. She looked, her face was full of sarcasm.
It wasn't until Cao Hexiang didn't hear Mu Jinxi's voice for a long time that she couldn't help raising her head to look at her strangely, and said timidly: "Miss Mu, am I being too abrupt? I'm really sorry, I'm just, just curious, That's why-"
"No, the Lantern Festival in Taohua Town is indeed very lively, but I don't live in Taohua Town, but in a village in Taohua Town. This village is a bit far from Taohua Town, and I rarely go to Taohua Town. , not to mention going to join in the fun during the Lantern Festival. You should have heard about me. Before I came to the capital, my life was not good. How can I go to Taohua Town on the Lantern Festival? What about it?" When Mu Jinxi said these words, her tone was very flat, without the slightest bit of embarrassment, nor the slightest bit of inferiority complex, as if she didn't care at all when some people talked about her miserable past, she was very calm.
But Cao Hexiang felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it. She wondered if it was Mu Jinxi who thought she knew she had a bad life before and asked her this on purpose in order to laugh at her, so she answered herself like this?
"Miss Mu, I'm sorry, I, I have no other meaning, I just want to ask out of curiosity, no, I don't want to laugh at you, please don't get me wrong." Cao Hexiang explained.
She is Prime Minister Xiao's niece, and she cannot offend her, and her mother and the prime minister's wife are on good terms, if Mu Jinxi goes back and says something bad to the prime minister's wife, she may even hurt her mother.
"Miss Cao, don't worry, I don't think you are laughing at me. I don't think there is anything difficult to say about my past. Although my life has been a little bit harder, I have a clear conscience and I haven't done anything that I shouldn't What I did, so there is no need to avoid talking about my past. I should say sorry. I can't answer for Ms. Cao. I don't know much about the Lantern Festival in Taohua Town. I just listened to others. started."
When Cao Hexiang heard what Mu Jinxi said, she felt even more uneasy, and always felt that there was something in her words.What does it mean to have a clear conscience and not have done something that shouldn't be done?Is she alluding to herself?Or in fact, she is the young master's wife who recognized her and saw that she was inquiring about that day, so she said that on purpose to remind herself?Is that right?If this is the case, why does she say that she has not participated in the activities of the Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town, why does she deny that she has been to Peach Blossom Town during the Lantern Festival?
Then Cao Hexiang remembered something, bestow marriage!Yes!She has already been given a marriage by the emperor to that little prince Juelin!But, isn't she already married?Isn't she the son's wife?The two also have a son who is a few years old!Then why did the emperor give her a marriage, and the object is still a prince?
Could it be because the son is not a person of status, and after Mu Jinxi was recognized by Prime Minister Xiao and returned to the Xiao family, Prime Minister Xiao disliked that son, so he came up with such a way to conceal the fact that Mu Jinxi was married and had a child, and did not know What method did you use to get the emperor to marry you?This, isn't this the crime of deceiving the emperor?How dare Prime Minister Xiao? !
And Mu Jinxi, how could she be like this, she is obviously married and has a child, how dare she still dare to lie to the emperor, isn't she afraid that the matter will be exposed one day and it will lead to death?And Prime Minister Xiao, the crime of deceiving the emperor will be beheaded!And that young master... If I really think so, then that young master will definitely not be in the capital, and it is even less likely that he will appear in a place like the First Prince's Mansion. He must have been left in Taohua by Mu Jinxi and the Xiao family Town, and even may have been silenced!
Thinking of this possibility, Cao Hexiang's complexion suddenly turned pale, and she felt as if her heart was tightly grasped by someone, and even breathing became difficult.
Mu Jinxi looked at Cao Hexiang's face suddenly changed in surprise, and grabbed the clothes in front of her chest with her hands, as if she had received some big blow suddenly.Seeing that her complexion was not right, Mu Jinxi couldn't help asking with concern: "Miss Cao, are you alright?"
While talking, she also kindly wanted to help Cao Hexiang, who knew that just as she stretched out her hand, Cao Hexiang avoided her hand as if she had been pricked by a needle.
Mu Jinxi's eyes changed slightly, and her complexion turned cold. She said lightly, "It seems that Miss Cao doesn't like me very much. If that's the case, why bother calling me? Although I don't think there is anything wrong with being poor, but I also don't like others to look down on me because of this! Since Miss Cao is fine, then Jinxi will go first!" Mu Jinxi walked away after finishing speaking, followed her color screen and gave Cao Hexiang a secret glance before following up.
snort!Before going out, the master had already told her carefully, asking her to take good care of Miss Biao, and not to be bullied by others, and told her to keep an eye on her, to see who would show hostility to Miss Biao at the flower viewing banquet of.No matter how much she thought about it, she never thought that she would be the lady of the Cao family. Isn't Mrs. Cao's relationship with their wives very good?Then why did her daughter treat their cousin like this?Miss Biao cared about her kindly, but what happened to her?He actually trampled Miss Biao's good intentions on the ground!unacceptable!
Just wait and see, she will definitely tell the master and madam the truth when she goes back!
Seeing that Miss Mu left with a bad complexion, and her maid gave her a look before leaving, Cao Hexiang's maid hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Second Miss, are you okay? What, why did you care so much just now?" Did you accept Miss Mu's kindness? This servant sees Miss Mu's complexion very badly!"
If Miss Mu returns to the prime minister's mansion and cries to the prime minister that the second miss treats her like this, will the prime minister offend their master?I heard that the Prime Minister dotes on Miss Mu's niece very much!
Cao Hexiang was stunned, she hadn't recovered from the speculation just now, but she seemed to have heard what her maid was saying, so she said in a daze, "What did you say?"
Seeing her lady's dazed look, the servant girl became even more worried, and said anxiously: "Second Miss, you seem to have offended Miss Mu just now! Why are you not worried at all! What if she goes back to add fuel to the picture and talk nonsense to the Prime Minister, then It will implicate the master!"
Only then did Cao Hexiang remember what happened just now, remembering that Mu Jinxi wanted to come to help her, and herself... Thinking of her reaction just now, Cao Hexiang's complexion, which had just returned to normal, suddenly turned pale again.
"I, I didn't do it on purpose, it's just... I was thinking about things at that time, and I didn't even know what happened..." Cao Hexiang lowered her head, with a look of worry on her pretty face and a little guilty conscience.
She was thinking about that young master just now, and was frightened by the guess in her heart, that's why she retracted reflexively when Mu Jinxi stretched out her hand towards her.She, she didn't mean to, just, just...
"Second Miss, let's catch up and explain clearly. If Miss Mu really thinks that you are looking down on her as she said, and that you have contempt for her, it will be terrible!"
"What? I didn't look down on her, let alone despise her. Who said that?"
The servant girl was surprised, "Second Miss, didn't you hear what Miss Mu said just now? She said you did it on purpose, and she stopped her to ask her something if she didn't like her, and she answered you, and you are like this again, she is kind She wanted to care about you, but you trampled her kindness on the ground... Didn't you even listen, Miss Second? Miss Second, what happened to you today?"
"I--"
"Oh, Second Miss, why are you still here? The Eldest Miss didn't see you following behind and thought you didn't know where you were going. She was so worried! Everyone has passed, Second Miss, you should hurry over too. Otherwise, it will be bad if the First Princess finds out later."
It was Cao Heying's maid who was ordered to go back and look for someone.
Cao Hexiang reacted quickly and said before the servant girl spoke, "I'll go over now, I was a little dizzy just now, so I sat for a while longer to make my sister worry."
"Second Miss, are you alright? Would you like me to tell the Eldest Miss, and trouble the Eldest Princess to ask the doctor to show the Second Miss?"
"No, no, no! I'm fine now, you don't need to tell my sister, lest she worry again." Cao Hexiang said hastily, and walked forward first, and the two maids looked at each other and followed.
When Cao Hexiang arrived in the garden, she realized that there were already a lot of people, and it was almost the time for the banquet to start. Almost all the people who received the post had already arrived, chatting and laughing in twos and threes, sitting or standing.
Mu Jinxi...Even if she didn't pay attention deliberately, Cao Hexiang saw her at the first sight, and saw her standing beside her with a normal face, and the person standing beside her was Miss Mo Xuerui from the Mo residence.
Cao Hexiang frowned, a little confused, and forgot to look back at Mu Jinxi for a moment.
Mu Jinxi was arguing with Mo Xuerui when she felt a gaze staring at her, at first she thought it was the eldest princess, but who knew it was that Cao Hexiang again.Is she going to follow her?Does she know that she is the person from Shangyuan Festival in Peach Blossom Town or is she just suspicious now?It should be just suspicion, right?The question just now was just a test. After all, I was wearing a mask back then. Is Cao Hexiang capable of recognizing herself?
Hehe, so what if she doubts it?Does she have proof that she is that woman?She shouldn't be so stupid that she ran to tell someone because of her slight doubts, right?But if you really doubt yourself, it is actually a bit troublesome.At that time, I, Jue Lin and Xiaobao pretended to be a family to participate in the game, and they used the identity of a married woman, but now I am clearly a girl who has not left the cabinet!
If this Cao Hexiang insists on pestering her, I really can't guarantee that she won't find anything. Anyway, she should pay more attention. Now there are tigers and wolves!Eldest prince, the suspicion of the second prince has not dissipated yet. Here comes another Cao Hexiang, what's the matter?
It's all Jue Lin's fault, isn't Cao Hexiang the one who attracts bees and butterflies because he is thinking about him, so he is now focusing on her?Cao Hexiang must have made up a lot of conspiracy and other things in his head, maybe he is feeling sorry for Juelin at the moment, and it is worth it for him!
Thinking about it, Mu Jinxi couldn't help grinding her teeth, wishing she could call Jue Lin in front of her and sneer at her right now.
"Hey, do you have a problem with the second lady of Jingzhao Mansion Yin? Otherwise, why would she stare at you as if you were her husband's murderer?" Mo Xuerui said suddenly.
Mu Jinxi glanced at her and said indifferently: "How do I know this, you have to know that sometimes even if you have never done anything, you will still offend people. I have never done anything to be sorry for others, but it does not mean Others feel the same way."
"Hehe, this shows that you have a problem with your character, why don't you see others treat me like this?" Mo Xuerui said proudly.
Mu Jinxi looked at her with a half-smile, and after a while she suddenly turned serious and asked: "Miss Mo, do you feel your face is hot?" Mo Xuerui was startled, blinked her eyes, and looked a little dull He replied, "No. Why do you ask that?"
Hot face?Does it have anything to do with her problem?
Mu Jinxi looked at Mo Xuerui seriously and said solemnly: "Blush, if you blush, you will feel hot."
Mo Xuerui frowned, still not understanding what she meant when she said that suddenly.What do you mean when you blush?
Mo Xuerui looked at Mu Jinxi in confusion, and Mu Jinxi looked back at her with a sincere face, clearly saying something in her eyes.
While staring into Mu Jinxi's eyes, Mo Xuerui was thinking about what she said just now, and Mo Xuerui's complexion changed when thinking about it.
Blushing, blushing will make you feel hot, yes, if you blush, your face will feel a little hot, but why do you blush?Because she said those words, right? After she said those words, Mu Jinxi asked her if she felt her face was burning hot, which meant that she should be blushing, right? That meant her, what she said was shameless ?Should she be ashamed?
"Miss Mo, you've finally figured it out, so I'm relieved." But Mu Jinxi added fuel to the fire, causing Mo Xuerui's pretty face to contort. She was probably about to jump up and yell at Mu Jinxi directly.
"Mu Jinxi! You are a wolf-hearted dog, I kindly remind you, but you are repaying your kindness with revenge, right?" Mo Xuerui gritted her teeth.
"How? I am very grateful to you, Ms. Mo, but I really don't have any feuds with that Second Miss Cao. We have only met twice. How could there be any feuds? Maybe she used to like Jue Lin too, So I became Jue Lin's fiancée and she has a grudge against me?" Mu Jinxi said half-jokingly.
Who knew that Mo Xuerui frowned, and began to think seriously, and after a while, she nodded seriously and said, "I think it's probably because of this, it's just this Cao When did the second miss meet the little prince Juelin, and still have a secret love for him? It’s just that if you are not worthy of the little prince Juelin, she will be even more unworthy. Although she is now the daughter of Jingzhaofu Yin Miss, but you were only transferred to the capital more than a year ago, and you are not considered a nobleman in the capital! You still have an uncle who is the prime minister, what does she have? She is far behind her sister!"
Cao Heying?Mu Jinxi's eyes fell on Cao Heying on the other side, and she agreed with Mo Xuerui's words.When she was in Taohua Town, she could tell that Cao Heying, the older sister, was more stable than Cao Hexiang, the younger sister. It's all about your own preferences and nothing else.
When we were in Taohua Town, if Cao Heying hadn’t been watching and blocking them, I really don’t know how long Cao Hexiang would pester them. Lin's wife had a son with her, but she still did not shy away from showing different thoughts towards Jue Lin. Could it be that Mr. Cao worked outside the customs before coming to the capital?I heard that the customs outside the pass are quite different from those inside the pass, so why is Cao Hexiang so bold?
"Well, Cao Heying looks better than Cao Hexiang, hey, look at Cao Heying, do you think she is good enough for your second brother?" Mu Jinxi messed up again.
Mo Xuerui stared, and said angrily: "Even if I don't get close to my second brother, I still don't want to see his bad luck. Neither Cao Hexiang nor Cao Heying are good enough for my second brother! You just Don't mess around with mandarin ducks, if you really want to, don't you still have two cousins and a big brother, give your brothers some mandarin ducks!"
"Give them some? This—"
Before Mu Jinxi finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mo Xuerui, "No, you can't order mandarin ducks for your elder brother, your elder brother has already been ordered by me, you can only order mandarin ducks for your two cousins! "
Mu Jinxi stared at Mo Xuerui, "Why do you still remember what happened that day, shouldn't you forget it?"
"What did you say? Forget? Who wants to forget? Let me tell you, I'm serious. If you play tricks, you and your elder brother will suffer in the end! Go back and tell your elder brother that he belongs to me! I We will definitely catch him, just wait and see!" Mo Xuerui was full of confidence.
Mu Jinxi felt curious, why did she think that she would be able to catch up with her eldest brother and become his wife?Could it be because of her identity?But is it not important to the eldest brother that she doesn't know her identity?Brother is not that kind of person, just like when he was cheated before, if he was a person who valued his status, he wouldn't be cheated so easily and almost lost himself.
And according to her, Mo Xuerui shouldn't be the type that big brother likes, right?
Huh?What type of girl does the eldest brother like?Mu Jinxi suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know what kind of girl her elder brother liked.Judging from the personality of the eldest brother, he should like the kind of traditional ladies who don't leave home, obey their parents at home, and obey their husband after they get married. Parents, take good care of my sister-in-law, be diligent and thrifty in managing the house... Mo Xuerui is not such a person in any way, she has nothing to do with these beautiful virtues, right?
So the eldest brother will not like her. If she really takes what she said that day seriously, then she must be the one who suffers and gets hurt in the end. To be honest, she doesn't want to see Mo Xuerui get hurt. After this period of time After contacting her, she was already sure that Mo Xuerui was not a bad person, but he was a little willful and lonely.
Yes, lonely.Although she is the concubine's daughter of Duke Mo's mansion, she only has two older brothers and no other sisters. There are a few concubines, but concubines and concubines are natural enemies, so how can they be expected to live in peace?Although Mo Guogong and his wife also love her, it is impossible to accompany her every day when they are in love. The two elder brothers are also very indifferent to her. One ignores others, and the other sees her like an enemy. She is sure It was uncomfortable, so I had to use some alternative methods to attract the attention of others.
This is the same as those teenagers who were in the rebellious period in the previous life. Without the love of their family members, they wanted to get attention by stupid methods such as causing trouble everywhere. Mo Xuerui was also like this at all.After seeing it clearly, she also felt pity for Mo Xuerui, so she didn't want her to be hurt emotionally in the future.
Feeling strange in her heart, she asked. Who knew that Mo Xuerui would not tell her, for fear that she would sabotage and spoil her good deeds.
Mu Jinxi twitched the corners of her mouth, and thought to herself that even if she didn't cause sabotage, she wouldn't be able to succeed, okay?If she can't say it, maybe she will help her a few times if she is soft-hearted.
Regardless of other people's strange and speculative gazes, the two whispered to each other, and the flower viewing feast officially started after a while.
It’s really nothing to say that it’s an official start, just let the eldest princess say a few words, and then lead everyone to the pond full of lotus flowers, maybe there will be some activities, that’s all, a banquet or something It's all the same.Mu Jinxi didn't really want to come to these banquets at first, and now she seemed a little less interested, but she finally didn't show it on her face, otherwise people would say something about her if they saw her.
After walking around for a while, everyone arrived at a hexagonal pavilion with double eaves in the garden. This pavilion was called the Lotus Appreciation Pavilion, and it was built in the middle of the lotus pond in the First Prince's Mansion. There is a long stone corridor between the waterside pavilion and the lotus appreciation pavilion. Walking on it, you can not only enjoy the lotus at close range, but also reach out and touch it, and smell the fragrance of the lotus with your head down.
When they arrived here, the ladies couldn't wait to walk up to the stone corridor to see these lotus flowers at close range, because there are many varieties of lotus flowers in the First Prince's Mansion, and they are all rare varieties.Although not every household has planted lotus, there are quite a few families who have planted lotus, but there are not as many as in the First Prince's Mansion. There are also those rare varieties, some of which can't be obtained with money.
Mu Jinxi is not very interested in flowers and plants, no matter in her previous life or in this life, she has no such pleasure in admiring flowers and plants, she has too many things to do, but it can’t be said that she has no taste, it’s just a hobby It's just different, she still understands what she should understand, the lotus flowers in the First Prince's Mansion are indeed excellent, but when she looked at them, what she thought in her mind was whether it is possible to use these lotus flowers to extract essential oil?
If the eldest princess knew that her beloved lotus was thought of by Mu Jinxi, she would probably turn blue with anger. Originally, she invited her to inquire about her and the young prince Juelin, but she was already very reluctant. I don't know what to do if I want to ruin my beloved lotus, I don't know what it means!
Facing the pond full of lotus, even if you don’t like it, looking at it is a pleasing thing. Everyone likes to see beautiful things. It happens that there is a lotus in the names of the two sisters of the Cao family. To understand or to make things difficult for others, someone asked after arriving at the Lotus Appreciation Pavilion.
"Miss Cao, both of your sisters have the word lotus in their names. You must have a different understanding of lotus, right? Just tell us, let us understand, so that we don't have to read books when we go back. Trouble, everyone said, right?"
"Yes, yes, one of your sisters is called He Xiang and the other is called He Ying. Both the fragrance and shadow of the lotus are taken by you two sisters. If you can't explain why, we will not follow!"
Seeing this, the eldest concubine also smiled and said: "Since everyone has said so, Ms. Cao might as well show her hand."
Cao Heying stood up from her seat, bowed her knees towards the eldest princess and said with a smile, "I dare not say anything if you show your hands. He Ying only knows a little bit about it. Thanks to everyone and the prince's concubine, He Ying will make a fool of herself. If If there is anything wrong, I ask the princess to point it out."
Mu Jinxi sat quietly in her seat, and when she heard Cao Heying's answer, she confirmed again that this older sister was much better than her younger sister. If Cao Hexiang were replaced, she probably wouldn't be able to answer so well. Will not offend the eldest princess.
This is the First Prince's Mansion, and the person who loves lotus is the First Prince's Concubine. Is there anyone who knows these things better than the First Prince's Concubine?Those young ladies knew this and said that on purpose. If she was not careful, she would offend the First Concubine, but what she said just now, asking the First Concubine to give advice, meant to imply that she didn't know much, and she still needed the First Concubine to give her advice. Second, this can be regarded as a compliment to the eldest prince and concubine.
Mu Jinxi looked towards the eldest princess, and sure enough, she saw a satisfied smile on the eldest princess's face.
Cao Heying calmly explained to everyone about the lotus after receiving the permission of the eldest concubine. A lotus outside the lotus pavilion, looking at the emerald green lotus leaves, pink and attractive petals, and slender and swaying branches, she couldn't help reaching out to pick this fragrant lotus. up.
One was absorbed in watching without paying attention, and it was not until a voice came from beside her that she regained her sanity.
"What?" Mu Jinxi looked at everyone in a daze and asked, she seemed to have heard someone talking about herself just now?
Mo Xuerui glanced at the person who spoke just now, and then said lightly to Mu Jinxi: "Second Miss Cao asked you just now, is it because you dislike Miss Cao's boring talk, that's why you turned your head away in a dispirited look. Look at the scenery outside, and don't listen to other people's kind explanations."
Cao Hexiang's complexion changed slightly, she bit her lip, and glanced at Mo Xuerui unhappily, feeling that she was trying to sow discord, she didn't say that at all, she just asked Mu Jinxi what she was looking at.Because my sister was talking, but Mu Jinxi acted perfunctorily as if she wasn't listening, as if she already knew what her sister was saying, so she just asked a question blindly. How could she be like Mo Xuerui? said.
As soon as Mo Xuerui's words came out, everyone fell silent. It was Cao Heying who came to his senses first, and said with a smile, "I made Miss Mu laugh. Fiddled with in front of him, He Ying will feel uncomfortable when she is nervous, let alone other things, it is reasonable for Miss Mu to feel boring."
Cao Heying's words relieved the embarrassing atmosphere brought about by Mo Xuerui's words. Mu Jinxi glanced at Cao Hexiang lightly, and said to Cao Heying: "Where is it that Miss Cao's words are boring? On the contrary, she just said too much. It became vivid, so I couldn't help but look at those lotus flowers, without Miss Cao's explanation, I didn't know there are so many famous things about lotus flowers."
The eldest princess's smile faded when she heard what Mo Xuerui said, and she was even more displeased with her in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface, she just said to Cao Heying: "Yes, Miss Mu said That's right, my concubine also thinks that Miss Cao's words are very good, some things even my concubine doesn't know, and I only understand after listening to Miss Cao's words. Fortunately, this concubine still claims to love lotus, it seems that I will hate it in the future. Make it up."
Cao Heying naturally had something to say before she revealed the matter.
After being teased by Mo Xuerui, everyone didn't dare to say anything, for fear that they would say something embarrassing if they were being watched by her.
After Cao Heying sat back in her seat, the decent smile on her face faded when no one else was paying attention, and she asked her sister in a low voice: "What were you doing just now? Go and provoke Miss Mu." do what?"
Cao Hexiang was a little guilty, she lowered her head and pretended to be unhappy, and said: "I just can't see it, sister, you said so well there, but she looks disgusted and perfunctory, she clearly looks down on sister You, maybe she doesn't know as much as my sister, so why should I look down on you!"
Cao Heying gritted her teeth, a little resentful, "I want you to be troublesome! How do you know that people look down on me? Do you have to stare at me to be considered listening to me seriously? She looks at the lotus and you let me She is optimistic, the eldest concubine didn't say anything, why are you joining in the fun? Don't think I don't know, you have been staring at Miss Mu today, are you treating everyone as a fool, don't you stare at her What kind of eyes are you looking at? If you don't restrain yourself, what will happen to you if someone catches you, I'll see what you will do!"
She was really pissed off. Originally, she noticed something wrong with her and wanted to remind her, but when she thought that this is the Grand Prince's Mansion, there are so many people, it would be bad if someone accidentally heard her, so she thought about going back and saying wait. Go back and talk about her carefully, who knows that she still caused trouble.
He'er, she didn't see Mu Jinxi's faint glance just now, it seemed nothing, but a look of displeasure flashed in Xing's eyes, her maid had already told her what she noticed in the hall just now Yes, she had secretly yelled that something was wrong at that time, and after forcing He'er's maid to ask clearly, she almost fainted from anger right now.If it wasn't in the First Prince's Mansion, she really wanted to reprimand He'er and see what she had done.
They don't need to please Mu Jinxi, but they can't offend others like this!It's good for her, she didn't know that she directly offended someone, no matter how bad Mu Jinxi was, she was Prime Minister Xiao's niece, and the fiancee of young prince Juelin, as for them, they just relied on their father!Can Daddy compare to Cheng?Is there any benefit to offending Prime Minister Xiao?
When Mu Jinxi followed the prime minister's wife to their residence for a banquet before, He'er behaved badly. Mother secretly asked herself if He'er and Mu Jinxi knew each other, and there was a holiday, but where did they know each other? What's more, it's nothing more than He Er's obsession with remembering a person who should have been forgotten a long time ago, something she has forgotten!
Peach Blossom Town, Lantern Festival, why does He'er still remember that incident?
"If you mess around again, I'll tell my mother what you did at the Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town that year when I go back!" Cao Heying said to her sister with a sullen face.
Cao Hexiang's complexion changed, she grabbed Cao Heying's hand and begged, "Sister, don't tell me, I know, I won't do nonsense anymore, can I just stop talking?"
It would be miserable for her mother to know about that. Although mother usually dotes on the two sisters, she will not let her do anything wrong.
Cao Heying loved her younger sister very much. Seeing that her expression changed with fright, her heart immediately softened, but she still said: "This time, my sister is telling the truth. If you are still self-willed, I will really tell mother when I go back."
"Sister, I promise, I promise that I will never do anything that I shouldn't do, don't worry."
The two sisters on this side were talking while looking at each other, and the eldest concubine on the other side finally couldn't help but speak.
"Miss Mu, why don't you tell us about the relationship between you and the young prince Juelin, we are very curious about how you two met."
I heard that the background often swallows sections recently. If you see that the updated text of Yuntun is a series of words without segmentation, don’t worry, it must be swallowed by the background, and Yuntun will change it later.
