"Back to the Queen Mother, I... the daughter of the people is the show girl of this year. She is sixteen this year. Her maiden name is Jiaxiang." Shi Shi Ranran raised his head, Mu Jiaxiang smiled shyly, her eyes were slightly cramped, and she answered carefully.
Like a mosquito moaning.
This and Mu Jiaxiang, who had a fierce style and yelled "I am your woman" yesterday, are two different people!
If it weren't for Yan Xiuyuan's principle of investigating all suspicious people who have been close to Xuanyuan Huang for eight generations, Ling Zihan might have thought that this woman had serious mental illness. But Liu, who only thinks about Ling Zihan,
Yun, when he woke up early in the morning, without thinking about anything else, he went to Yan Xiuyuan and inquired from him about Mu Jiaxiang's identity.
In the separate summons just now, the Queen Mother also asked about what happened yesterday. Ling Zihan thought it was nothing, so she told her calmly. However, she hid the fact that she went to the Fireworks Building and only said that she was going for an outing and lost her way.
.
The Queen Mother naturally knew Mu Jiaxiang's identity, so if I ask now, it must be her intention.
"Jiaxiang... the name is quite good." The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and looked up at Mu Jiaxiang.
Aunt Guifang on the side got a booklet from nowhere, opened it and presented it to the Queen Mother, and at the same time handed her a peepshow. She bent down and whispered a few words in the Queen Mother's ear, but when she straightened up, her eyes fell.
Looking at Mu Jiaxiang, a hint of shrewdness flashed between his peaceful brows and eyes.
The Queen Mother held the diorama that was a tribute from the Bohai Kingdom. It was a treasure. It was exquisitely made. The glass protruding from both sides was particularly transparent. The rounded frame on the outside was inlaid with twisted gold wire. The handle was made of mutton-fat white jade, and the handle tail was protruding.
a little
Silver, inlaid with a huge piece of purple jade, the purple jade is carved into a phoenix, holding sea beads in its mouth, connected to several silver tassels, the ends of the tassels happen to be connected to the gold wires fixed on both sides of the lens, which makes it extremely beautiful to hold.
convenient.
In fact, this thing is a magnifying glass, which is not uncommon in modern times. But it was extremely rare in ancient times, especially this kind of exquisite workmanship, which is even more difficult to find. However, the modern ones use glass, which is very cheap, and the ones used here are
The one is made of glass that is difficult to carve. It is a crystal, and it is an extremely transparent top-grade crystal. With the cost of craftsmanship and inlaying, it is expensive to make.
A rough estimate is that the diorama in the hands of the Queen Mother required at least several complete pieces of white crystal to create a flawless and almost perfect diorama.
Of course, this is also a symbol of status. Not to mention Mu Jiaxiang, even the imperial concubine can only stare at it.
The Queen Mother looked at the booklet for a while and said, "Well, it turns out he is from the Yuanzheng family. However, the Ai family looks quiet and delicate, but they have not inherited your father's bravery. There is something like Taifu Mu's character in his eyebrows."
The Mu family originally followed the emperor to conquer the world, but the founding hero was a civil servant. Later, generations after generations, they were all wizards with both civil and military skills. But in Taifu Mu's generation, except for the Taifu family, the others gradually became martial arts, and most of them
He has the intention of suppressing the Queen's forces. Mu Taifu's son is even more remarkable. The few who work in the Yushitai are nothing, but the legitimate son who is screwed with Mu Taifu is particularly outstanding. When he was young, he quietly
He quietly followed the army, later achieved military exploits, and resisted many difficulties from General Ruan and King Ruan. Finally, he joined the army and was named a hussar general. Even General Ruan, who had a "world feud" with the Mu family, called him a formidable person. And the emperor wanted to
Testimonials
He brought his sister into the palace, and within a year she was named a noble concubine, who is now the imperial concubine. The Mu family's glory and favor reached its peak, and the person who pushed this peak was Mu Jiaxiang's father.
Mu Yuanzheng.
Mu Jiaxiang was proud of her father's military medal. When she saw the Queen Mother calling her father by his name instead of his official position, she felt close to her, and she felt even more proud. But she still carefully hid her thoughts and acted with a hint of fear.
, but looked shy, and spoke in a trembling voice: "The Queen Mother is too praised, Jiaxiang is just a weak woman. In terms of character, there is an excellent one right now."
A dark fire was ignited from Wen Tun's words.
Ling Zihan unconsciously glanced at Mu Jiaxiang a few more times. What was strange was that the imperial concubine also looked at Mu Jiaxiang, with a trace of suspicion in her eyes.
Ling Zihan happened to capture that moment and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. The smile on the corner of her mouth outlined a little unknown coldness. It seems that this Mu Jiaxiang is really not a simple woman. Even in front of the imperial concubine,
She had covered herself up so tightly. But when they met yesterday, she was on edge, revealing ridiculous loopholes from time to time. Who was she doing to show her, and what was her purpose?
Just putting on a show, with ulterior motives?
Suddenly, Xuanyuan Huang touched her hand. Ling Zihan looked up and saw everyone's eyes falling on her face. Mu Jiaxiang was looking at her, with too many complicated expressions in her eyes.
She is not as beautiful as a sixteen-year-old girl should be.
That's right, in that kind of family, no matter what age the children are, there is probably nothing good to say about it!
"Girl Han, what's wrong with you, are you absent-minded?" The Queen Mother signaled her with her eyes, probably to warn her to be careful.
Ling Zihan smiled, they probably thought she was distracted and didn't hear their conversation!
"Royal grandmother, my grandson-in-law is secretly having fun!"
"Oh, what are you enjoying? Let's talk about it." The Queen Mother changed her sitting posture and seemed to be very interested.
Mu Jiaxiang, who was kneeling not far from Ling Zihan's feet, lowered her head and secretly gritted her teeth, enduring the soreness in her knees, but did not dare to move, but in her heart, she had probably greeted the Queen Mother's ancestors thousands of times.
"My granddaughter-in-law has said it. Grandma, please don't say that your grandson-daughter-in-law has no future." Ling Zihan looked at the Queen Mother lovingly, like a little grandson looking for rewards from his grandma, cordial and comfortable.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Girl, you have learned how to show off. Come on, tell me, when have I ever blamed you, Ai family!"
Ling Zihan hid her mouth and smiled, and glanced back at Xuanyuan Huang: "My granddaughter-in-law is secretly happy because the imperial grandmother praised my grandson's character! But in her heart, she was thinking, what kind of character does her granddaughter-in-law have? In front of her.
In front of your old man, my character has been suppressed by your phoenix grace. Now I am praised by the imperial grandmother. I think I can still stand up to the imperial grandmother and not disgrace my family name."
Ling Zihan said jokingly, grinning slightly, revealing two pointed little tiger teeth. The tips of the teeth pressed her lips, making her look extremely playful. It added a touch of coquettishness to her pretty posture, without being artificial.
, a small and composed movement, it seems like a natural interpretation. It is charming and sultry, more beautiful than fox eyes.
Her captivating peach blossom eyes inadvertently glanced at Mu Jiaxiang, who was still kneeling on the ground. Her long eyelashes fluttered, unable to conceal her shrewd and coquettish eyes. She turned slightly and continued: "Miss Mu can joke.
, if we really talk about it, among our generation, she is the crown princess who has the most character."
"Hahaha, this weird elf girl. Guifang, look at this girl's mouth. Is it comparable to a pearl?" The Queen Mother smiled cheerfully. She was originally worried that Ling Zihan would be attracted by Mu Jiaxiang.
Her words got mixed up in the ensuing discussion among everyone. Now it seems that the discussion was redundant, and my attempt to praise her as an excuse was also redundant.
"Should the granddaughter-in-law be happy that she can make the Queen Mother laugh heartily?" Ling Zihan raised her eyebrows playfully, looking at the imperial concubine with dark eyes with her peripheral vision, and pursed her lips.
"Self-rejoicing is worse than harmony. Although the Crown Princess has character, she is different from the nine younger siblings. If this is not the case, the Imperial Grandmother has issued a decree to order the princes and concubines attending the family banquet today to perform their own shows. How about it?"
The prince suggested waving his fan.
Ling Zihan curled her lips without leaving any trace, and cursed: You are stupid, fanning in the winter is stupid, looking for trouble when you have nothing to do, it is a pain in the ass!
But she also wanted to save the prince's face. Seeing that the queen mother had no objection or agreement, she hurriedly said: "The prince's opinions are interesting. They are all family members, and they don't care about appearances. But there is nothing new about only the female family members showing off their talents.
, why not imitate the filial sons among the people, wearing colorful clothes to entertain their relatives. Let the princes who stay in Beijing also join in, share the stage with their families, and let the father and the emperor have a good time."
No matter whether you want to entertain the public or treat women as playthings, even if you want to die, she has to be supported first.
Ling Zihan's eyes swept across the prince, and then looked at the face of the queen mother. Seeing that the queen mother seemed very interested, she added, "I believe that if the emperor's grandson were here, he would also clamor to offer sacrifices to his ancestors.
Le, I want to show off my skills in front of my ancestors!"
The Queen Mother seemed to have completely forgotten Mu Jiaxiang's existence, and nodded and said: "It's interesting. Gui Fang, just follow this girl's wishes and ask Yue'er to draft a decree and pass it on." After a pause, the Queen Mother took a sip of tea.
, his eyes finally fell back on Mu Jiaxiang, he narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, put down the tea cup, and said lightly: "Get up, the ground is weirdly cold here. Sit down over there.
, let’s talk to Ai’s family.”
The imperial concubine's heart, which had almost become knotted, suddenly opened up, and she was overjoyed. Even her usual composure dropped a little, and a hint of secret joy appeared in her eyes. But she did not signal her eyebrows to help Mu Jiaxiang, but
He gave Mu Jiaxiang, who had just thanked him, an unusual look.
Mu Jiaxiang didn't seem to notice, and slowly got up with her hands on the ground.
But I don't know if I had been standing for too long. My legs softened, and I fell forward and to the left with a "Ahhh" sound.
Looking in that direction, Ling Zihan's lips curled up with a hint of coldness, and her heart was filled with coldness. This Mu Jiaxian was really calculating every step of the way, but she was still a bit too young to play tricks.
But if Xuanyuan Huang hadn't "happened" to turn around and stand up at this moment, Mu Jiaxiang would have fallen into his arms. But now... poof, she fell onto the chair where Xuanyuan Huang was sitting, with a fierce blow on her back.
The ground hit the edge of the chair, making a clear muffled sound.
There was a sound, followed by her subtle hum. But her hands grabbed the corners of Xuanyuan Huang's clothes without giving up, groaning in pain. Her eyelashes were stained with tears like stars, but there was a touch of pitiful frailty.
, but never got into that person’s eyes.
In his eyes, there was only the woman holding his hand in front of him.
"Why are your hands so cold? You didn't listen to me to wear more clothes, and you didn't say anything when it was cold. If you were frozen or fell ill, even if I didn't feel sorry for you, my grandmother would. When the time comes, you can blame me.
Are you happy?"
Mu Jiaxiang heard his deep and charming voice, which was full of magnetism and extremely sexy. There were strands of constant concern and tenderness in it, but it was only presented to one person.
After a pause, the subtle sound of skin caressing came, and then the touching voice said, "Liuyun, go get a hand stove for the princess to warm her up."
The warm concern overshadowed all the noise, as if they were the only two people in the huge palace.
The moment their eyes met, Ling Zihan smiled gently, and the warmth flowing on her fingertips drove her heartbeat, "Thumping, pounding——"
But was interrupted by a call——
