Mu Qingyan had nothing to do that day, so she stayed in her room and wrote down some things from her previous life, sorting out the details that she had ignored one by one.
Last night she had asked Mu Yan and the others to help Mu Qi find out Baili Qi's details, so she was not waiting in the courtyard today.
Only Fennel was left to serve.
So she spent most of the day in the study. Mu Qi also came back in the meantime, but all returned with no success. Mu Qingyan calmly consoled her: "Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, you must do it."
careful."
She had personally experienced Baili Qi's cruelty. If he discovered Mu Qi's actions, the consequences would be unimaginable.
only……
Looking at the words on the rice paper, Mu Qingyan frowned, feeling that she had overlooked something.
At this time, Fenxiang opened the door and walked in carrying a bowl.
Mu Qingyan immediately took out a new piece of rice paper and covered the original one.
"Miss, I have stewed some lotus seed soup for you, please try it." Fenxiang put down the bowl and said.
Smelling the fragrance of the lotus seeds, Mu Qingyan felt a little hungry. She took a spoonful and tasted it, then her eyes lit up and she praised, "Why didn't I realize that you are so good at cooking before?"
Fenxiang smiled sheepishly, "Isn't it that I haven't found a chance to make it for the young lady?" She had wanted to do it before. However, the young lady usually eats with the prince and the princess, and there are too many things to do.
Didn't care.
Now that she has finished her work, she can have some free time to taste it for the young lady.
"I'm interested." Mu Qingyan simply stood up and sat down at the table, eating seriously.
Fenxiang looked happy and said as if to show off: "If you like it, miss, I will do it for you every day. I will know a lot."
"Okay." She used to be very picky about what she eats, but the fennel recipe suits her very well.
After a while, the soup in the bowl reached the bottom. The fennel happily put it away and asked other maids to take it down.
"Miss, you've been bored in the house these days, let's go out for a walk?" Fenxiang was very worried about what to do if she suffocated.
Mu Qingyan looked at her with a smile, "I think you want to go out."
Her thoughts were exposed, Fenxiang's face turned slightly red, and she whispered softly: "Slave, this is for the good of the lady, it will make you bored."
"You are really getting bolder." After following her for a long time, Fenxiang's temper became more open. Qingya would never dare to talk to her like this.
But it's okay, at least this girl never hides anything from her. Although she is new here, she has a strong learning ability, learns quickly, and is smart.
She raised her eyes and glanced outside the door, "It should rain soon." Otherwise, it wouldn't be so muggy.
When midsummer comes, there will always be a heavy rain.
Fennel followed suit, right?
Mu Qingyan was right. The sky outside was getting gloomier and gloomier, and the wind began to blow. Although the sultry heat had dissipated, the wind howled by, like something mourning.
In the end, heavy rain poured down, making a crackling sound on the ground.
Fenxiang quickly closed the window and walked to Mu Qingyan, "Miss, the wind is too strong. Do you still want to go to the main hall to eat?"
"Of course we have to go. My father and mother will be waiting until the rain subsides." Looking at the heavy rain in front of her, Mu Qingyan felt as if she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it.
Fenxiang glanced at the small pond in the distance. The rain hit the water surface and stirred up water splashes as big as beans. She pursed her lips slightly. The rain was really heavy.
"Miss, why don't you go inside and sit down? It's cold outside."
Mu Qingyan shook her head and refused, "I want to see it."
Look? Look at the rain? Fenxiang doesn’t understand what’s so good about rain.
Of course, what Mu Qingyan was looking at was not the rain, but just looking at the rain reminded her of the water prison where Baili Qi treated her.
It was as cold as the rain, without any warmth.
However, under the heavy raindrops, a man holding an oil-paper umbrella slowly walked over.
He raised his head and smiled faintly at her. Mu Qingyan didn't see clearly, nor did his face clearly, but she knew who that person was.
"Little sister." Mu Xuan's voice was still clear despite the sound of rain.
"Brother, why are you here?" Mu Qingyan was a little surprised, watching Mu Xuan walk over step by step.
Then he closed his umbrella.
Fenxiang quickly stepped forward to take the umbrella and put it aside.
Mu Qingyan looked him up and down, and when she saw the water mark on the hem of his clothes, she frowned, "My clothes are all wet."
Seeing her nervous look, Mu Xuan said helplessly, "Nothing, I'll pick you up."
Mu Qingyan felt warm in her heart, but at the same time she couldn't laugh or cry, "It's not like I don't know the way. I'll come naturally when the rain subsides."
She is not a fool to go there in the heavy rain.
"If I don't come, grandpa will have to come in person." Mu Xuan rubbed her head. This is the treasure of the whole family. Who dares not to pamper her.
Especially after knowing what happened to his sister, he regretted not being able to protect her, so he had to make up for it this time.
After a while, the rain gradually subsided, and Mu Qingyan asked Fenxiang to get another umbrella, and accompanied by Mu Xuan, they went to the main hall together.
When they arrived at the main hall, Mu Qingyan saw Mu Yun, which was rare. Although Mu Xun and Mu You rarely sat with them, it had happened before that Mu Yun was also there.
Doesn't she want to see her the most? Mu Qingyan thought to herself.
Seeing his precious granddaughter coming, the old prince quickly vacated his seat and patted the seat next to him, "Yan'er, come here."
"Okay." She replied with a smile and sat down next to the old prince obediently.
Seeing this, Mu Yun was a little envious, but quickly averted her gaze. Among the children of their generation, only Qing Yan could sit next to her grandfather.
This unique love.
Shangguan Rou said: "Seeing that it was raining heavily, your brother was worried about you, so he went to find you."
Mu Qingyan nodded, glanced at her brother who looked normal and snickered in her heart, her brother was just telling the truth.
"Third sister, you look very good today too." Mu You looked at her.
This sentence made the others laugh, especially the old prince. He looked at the youngest granddaughter and smiled lovingly, "Your third sister is the most beautiful woman in the whole capital."
"Grandpa." Mu Qingyan was ashamed, how could her grandpa tease her in front of so many people.
"Okay, okay, everyone is here, it's getting late, let's have dinner." Shangguan Rou quickly changed the subject, otherwise his daughter would be embarrassed.
Mu Qingyan was slightly surprised when she looked at the things in front of her. She turned to look at Shangguan Rou and asked, "Mom, it's almost midsummer. Why are you still eating this?"
The same utensils are placed in front of every table.
"It's cold today, so this is the best thing to eat, and you also like this antique soup." Shangguanrou smiled and picked up the vegetables with chopsticks.
It turned out that it was because of her. Mu Qingyan curled her lips and was thinking about it, when suddenly there was more fish in the bowl.
"Look at your body, you need to replenish it." The old prince was a little disgusted.
"Thank you, grandpa."
It's true that she hasn't eaten this for a long time.
