old queen

Chapter 5

"Six princes!" Seeing the person coming, Qian'er's face froze, and she instinctively knelt down again with a plop.

"There are only a few of us here, so you don't need to salute so much, get up!" The visitor raised his hand and said arrogantly.His eyes turned to Mu Mingchun, the corners of his stylish mouth were raised high, his eyes were full of smiles, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you don't even know your younger brother?"

Facing the face of her husband in name, that is, Long Che, who was more than half or half of the same, a few lines of words immediately flashed in Mu Mingchun's mind - Long Yu, the sixth prince of this dynasty, Xian Yu The prince, known as the Sixth Prince, is the younger brother of Long Che's mother and compatriots. He is highly skilled in martial arts and in charge of the military power in the world.Everyone saw his figure from a distance and ran away, hiding as far as they could.

Knowing his identity, Mu Mingchun stood up, said with a light smile, "So it's the sixth emperor brother. I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems that you are doing well. Looking around, she smiled again, "It's just that, as a My brother today, it seems that this is not the place for you to come. "

"Your brother knows!" Seeing her smiling like a spring, Long Yu also smiled lightly, "It's just that after the morning court today, my younger brother went to greet the queen mother, so I felt that I had nothing to do. Faqi wanted to go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll. I didn’t want to see a good show by accident! Oh, no, there should be two shows.”

Mu Mingchun raised his eyebrows. "Really?" I don't know if the two good scenes he mentioned are the two scenes she acted in?
Soon, the questions in her mind were answered.Walking in a few steps, Mo Mei's eyes looked at her quietly, Long Yu said with a smile: "My younger brother finds out that Huang's wife is still as heroic as ever!"

She guessed right.Mu Mingchun clasped his fists together: "Thank you for the compliment."

"This is not a compliment, my brother is speaking from his heart." Long Yu smiled, looking at her with a deeper gaze, "However, sister-in-law, my brother has also discovered that you seem to be different from before. !"

"Really?" Mu Mingchun tilted his head slightly, looking at him quietly.

Long Yu nodded firmly. "certainly."

"What's different?" Mu Mingchun asked.She wanted to know, what could he observe through such a short period of observation?

"You..." Long Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "Although you are still as arrogant, you seem to be a little smarter than before, and you are not so annoying."

It was a great compliment to say that from his mouth.Mu Mingchun raised his eyebrows. "yes?"

"Yeah!" Long Yu smiled, and took a few steps closer to her, looking back and forth, "Sister-in-law Huang——"

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped and listened carefully, then turned around, nodded to her, and said with a faint smile: "Someone is here, I'll go first."

"Oh, go slowly, I won't see you off!" Mu Mingchun didn't miss it, and waved to see him off.

As soon as Long Yu's figure disappeared, she heard another angry voice coming from the door, which was exactly the same as what she heard in the imperial garden before, but this time it was replaced by a female version—"Chun'er , you are too outrageous!"

Standing up, he saw a well-dressed woman rushing in.Although the ostentation was not as big as that of the queen mother, it was only slightly reduced.This person is surprisingly Grand Master Mu's married wife, Mu Mingchun's biological mother, the first-rank wife of the dynasty, and the Queen Mother's close friend before she got married.

It seemed that her ears could not be cleaned up today, and Mu Mingchun began to lament in her heart.

"Mom." She stood up and stepped aside, she said softly.

Qian'er on the side also hurriedly came over to salute: "Ma'am."

After that, the group of people who followed the woman bowed down again and said in unison: "See the empress."

After a large group of people met, Madam Mu waved her hand: "You all step back."

"Yes."

The crowd receded, Madam Mu sat down elegantly holding her skirt, raised her hand and pointed to the side: "You sit too."

"Forget it, I'm tired after sitting for so long, let's stand for a while." Mu Mingchun kicked his legs, shook his hands, and said lazily.

"You..." Mrs. Mu was powerless, "Just stand there, but I have a few words to say, so listen carefully."

Mu Mingchun let out a long breath, ready for a long-term war of resistance. "Say it!"

"Hey!" A long sigh, "Chun'er!" Mrs. Mu's long speech began, "You child, it's all because I spoiled you too much back then, and let you develop such a lawless temperament. It's just that you used to be self-willed at home. It's okay to be arrogant, why haven't you seen you change all these years after entering the palace? You should know that this backyard of the deep palace is no better than home, no one will love you and spoil you like us, and let you go everywhere!"

"I know!" Mu Mingchun said.She also grew up under the pampering of her family. She started modeling at the age of 17 and stayed away from the protection of her family. It has been almost ten years now. She has also seen a lot of intrigues outside, and she has experienced it personally.But, didn't she survive it?
"You know? You know that you still do this?" Hearing her words, Madam Mu's voice became shrill, almost comparable to that of the eunuch named Mingxi next to Long Che, "Do you know, If it wasn't for the sake of your father and me, you would have been beaten to death! Originally, as soon as we heard that you were beaten into limbo yesterday, we knew that you must be causing trouble again. We discussed it early, In the early court, your father said good things to you in front of the emperor. I will go to see the queen mother and ask them to release you as soon as possible. Originally, both sides went well. Although the emperor and queen mother were not very happy, they agreed to let you go back immediately But what about you? Look at what you have done. I won’t talk about Concubine Shu yesterday. When the news came, we didn’t have time to discuss countermeasures in the future, but the news came that you beat the concubine! That's fine, after all yesterday's incident, it was true that the noble concubine was at fault first, we can still have an explanation, but why did you kick Concubine Xian and Concubine De into the water so early in the morning?"

"Didn't you know the reason?" Mu Mingchun said impatiently.I'm really convinced by this old lady. It's been a long time since their mother and daughter have seen each other. As soon as she appeared, she pointed at her nose and began to scold. You can scold as you please. After scolding for so long, I haven't come up with anything new. Listen She is so boring.

"Chun'er! Look at your attitude?" Seeing her like this, Mrs. Mu couldn't sit still, she patted the table and stood up, and said sharply, "I won't talk about your savage temper, but you You should also know that you have been married to the emperor for nine years, and you are not young now. Although you are still beautiful now, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and so many young and beautiful girls are sent to the palace every year. Come on. Naturally, many of these people are superior to you in terms of talent and appearance, plus their age advantage... If it wasn't for Rui'er, you might lose your position long ago!"

"If you don't guarantee it, then don't guarantee it!" Mu Mingchun said disdainfully.She doesn't care about this kind of thing, and she can't wait to get rid of this rotten thing as soon as possible!
Snapped!Madam Mu slapped the table hard. "Chun'er, do you know what nonsense you are talking about? Your father, relying on his status as the elder of the three dynasties, finally sent you to the next position, and your stomach is considered to be up to date, and gave birth to Rui'er. Now, you can't say no." Sit or not?"

What good is sitting?Sitting in this position, being stared at by people every day, even if nothing happens, something will happen to her.Are you tired of living like this every day?Mu Mingchun pursed her lips and said in her heart.

Seeing her gloomy face, Madam Mu also weakened her tone of reprimand, walked over to hold her hand, and said kindly: "I know, the emperor has neglected you for the past two years, and you have resentment in your heart. But, no matter how much you hate Those women who snatched away the emperor, even if it was for Rui Er and Jiu Er, you must secure this position for me!"

"I don't hate it!" Mu Mingchun said.She wished that the man slept with other women every night!It would be best if he could die on a woman's bed, then she would be so happy that she would set off firecrackers to celebrate!That facial paralyzed man, she was very upset when she first saw him!
"Your daughter, Mo Ruomu, don't say such things against your will in front of me." But Mrs. Mu didn't believe her, she patted her head again, and said in a deep voice, "Forget it, it's already a fact, it's too late to say anything now. You Just stay in the cold palace for a while longer, your father and I will think of other ways to get you out of this place as soon as possible. You should also restrain yourself recently and stop going around to make troubles. Even if you want to make troubles, don't make troubles. Everyone knows, you know?"

"Oh." Mu Mingchun said casually.In fact, she felt that she had never thought of causing trouble, and it was all those boring women asking for it!It's just... there's one thing she can't figure out: why since childhood, it seems that as long as there is her, there are so many disputes there?
"Hey!" Letting go, and her thoughts turned, Madam Mu couldn't help sighing again, "Chun'er, although you have temporarily secured this position because of Rui'er, but there are so many women in the harem, it's impossible to guarantee who will be here tomorrow." I will give birth to another prince for the emperor. If he is more favored by the emperor than Ruier, and the power behind her family is not equal to that of your father, then your successor..."

"Is it not guaranteed?" Mu Mingchun continued.Good thing!With the disputes in the palace, she wished that she and the people around her could escape as far as possible!
Immersed in her own thoughts, Madam Mu didn't notice her overtly joyful expression.Suddenly, she clapped her palms together, her eyes lit up, and she said in a resolute voice: "I see, the matter should be handled like this!"

"What should I do?" Mu Mingchun was puzzled.What is she saying?
"Chun'er, next month your youngest sister will reach the age of Ji. I will send her portrait in next year's draft, and you will mark her into the palace. When the time comes, you sisters will join forces, and you will naturally be stronger than those who are alone. If you arrive When Dong'er can give birth to another prince, plus your father's status, then your status will definitely be preserved!" Madam Mu said excitedly as she turned around and clenched her hands.
