Mu Qingyu was also a little surprised. She knew that due to the relationship between Concubine Ning and the eldest prince, there were many noble ladies here.
The party whose hearts are devoted to the eldest prince will naturally come.
If you are neutral and will not offend anyone after accepting the invitation, you will come.
Even some members of the Four Princes Party would come to join in the fun, either to inquire about news or to collect information that would be beneficial to themselves.
They are all people with all kinds of twists and turns. Who can’t do superficial things anymore? The atmosphere is quite pleasant. Of course, there are some people who have really good relationships with each other, close friends in the boudoir, etc., who will take this opportunity.
Get together and talk.
The person who called Mu Qingyu was the wife of Shi Minwei, the Minister of Household Affairs. Shi Minwei was in charge of the entire Household Affairs Bureau and was the target of the princes. However, Lord Shi was very stable and would not step aside.
Lipai.
The only one who came to the Shi family was Mrs. Shi.
However, her status is different. Even if it is just the wife who comes, it will already give Marquis Dingyuan a lot of face.
The identity of Mrs. Liu in her mouth is not simple either. Her husband is called Liu Li, and he is the daughter-in-law of Princess Taiping.
This eldest princess is the emperor's aunt. She played a big role in the smooth accession of the current emperor to the throne, so the emperor respects her aunt very much.
After the emperor ascended the throne, there were four eldest princesses still alive at that time, but he only gave great rewards to the husband's family of this eldest princess. The original Liyang Bo was promoted to the title of Liyang Marquis. Now this Mrs. Liu,
It’s Mrs. Li Yanghou.
Among all the eldest princesses, eldest princesses, and princesses, the status of the eldest princess Taiping is very transcendent.
The invitation from Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was sent to Liyang Marquis Mansion. The eldest princess did not come, but Mrs. Liyang Marquis did. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Shi had handed each other handkerchiefs when they were not married. They were closer than others. Mrs. Shi called Mu
Qingyu and Mrs. Liu also smiled. They pulled Mu Qingyu and sat down beside them.
Everyone present: "..."
Mu Manqi: "..."
Did she see it wrong or something?
What is the status of Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Shi?
Generally speaking, the husbands of these two families are not inferior to those of Dingyuan Houfu, and these two are both wives.
What makes Mu Qingyu? An abandoned concubine and a commoner woman can actually sit and laugh with the wife of a first-class official or a first-class marquis of the current dynasty? And even if she goes out to meet a guest, she still has to look at her mother-in-law's face! Mu Manqi's eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred, but her eye circles were a little red, as if someone had bullied her. She was soft and frail, like a delicate flower carrying rain.
But he forgot that she was standing here. Everyone here was familiar with the affairs of the backyard and the house. She showed such an expression and stood in the hall again, awkward and abrupt.
Those who know Mu Manqi can't help but shake their heads in their hearts. Can such a character and behavior be worthy of the status of Mrs. Dingyuanhou in the future? Such a woman who cannot be put on the stage has even caused a scandal of getting pregnant out of wedlock. I don't know.
What do Marquis Dingyuan and his wife think? Have they not asked before?
Or maybe they think Mu Manqi is also the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs, so her education is not much different?
Don’t they know that there are differences between legitimate daughters and legitimate daughters?
But everyone has two sides, let's see how to disguise them. After all, they also know that this daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was also quite talented and famous in the capital when she was unmarried and unengaged, and she had a gentle and quiet temperament.
She is also quite popular among ladies.
But after getting engaged to Qin Shizi, things slowly changed.
Look at the daughter of the late lady. Although her mother died at an early age, she is now generous and generous. In front of the two ladies, she is comfortable and steady, friendly but not flattering. From the eyes of the two ladies, you can tell
It’s obvious that he likes her.
Anyone who knew that Qin Xuran was originally engaged to Mu Qingyu smiled meaningfully.
Although people who don't know the inside story think that Mu Qingyu climbed into King Liang's bed, anyone with a little bit of brains understands that the tricks involved in climbing into the bed can be figured out with their toes.
Concubine Ning has this convenience in the palace.
The ladies beside Mrs. Liu, the then wife, listened to their interesting conversation and joined in. Mu Qingyu talked eloquently, not overstepping the rules, and just right. Her knowledge, conversation, and comprehensiveness made the whole atmosphere more
Okay.
Here, the eldest princess snorted and said: "Grandstanding!"
The fourth princess smiled lightly and said: "That's also a skill!"
The third princess smiled and said: "I think she is quite good!"
The eldest princess heard what the two said and snorted again. However, this time, the three and four princesses ignored her. Instead, the eldest princess Zhen'an said: "No matter how capable you are, she is just a commoner's wife, or an abandoned wife. The princess has
The dignity and pride of a princess, talking about such a person is unavoidable and disrespectful!"
The third princess and the fourth princess pretended not to hear, and they went away talking in low voices.
It's not that these two princesses are very protective of Mu Qingyu, but they don't need to fight over a commoner woman here.
Mu Manqi finally came to her senses. Mu Qingyu had already sat down and was chatting happily with his wife, Mrs. Liu. If she took him away by force, not only would she make a joke, but she would also offend these two ladies. She was jealous of Mu Qingyu's bad luck. I am afraid that if she won the favor of the two noble ladies, it would be of great benefit in the future. Although she was just a commoner woman with no support now, but knowing such two people, who could
Dare you look down upon?
But she could only complain and leave.
However, her pretentious confession was so hasty and hasty that no one spoke for a while.
Mu Manqi, who was ignored, took another look at Mu Qingyu, who was chatting and laughing with several noble ladies over there, and became even more angry and exited the hall.
The atmosphere at Mu Qingyu's place was good. People who didn't know Mu Qingyu joined in the chat, and even Mrs. Chengguo Gong also took the initiative to join in.
Chu Xinyuan and Qin Xuran exchanged a few words. Although Chu Xinyuan answered Qin Muzhao's questions and looked very enthusiastic, when facing Qin Xuran, neither of them had anything to say.
It was Chu Xinyuan who said: "Prince Qin, please go entertain other guests. I, the king, can go around as you like!"
Qin Xuran didn't want to see Chu Xinyuan either. When Chu Xinyuan protected Mu Qingyu in the Ministry of Official Affairs, he was tortured both physically and mentally. Now that he thinks about it, he still hates it.
He said: "There are so many people who are negligent, so the prince can do whatever he wants!"
Chu Xinyuan hummed and walked in the opposite direction to Qin Xuran.
Although it's a casual walk, it's not really that casual. For example, you can't go to the inner courtyard, and the master's study is an important place and you can't go there.
Of course, there will be people guarding such a place to politely persuade guests to leave. The guests are here to receive good karma, so of course they are sensible and will not do anything forcefully.
Chu Xinyuan was chatting and laughing before, but after avoiding people, his expression became a little cold.
He and Qin Muzhao have no friendship, and they may even be hostile in the future. For the sake of a hundred-day-old child, he is not a prince, so he does not have to make this trip.
But he heard that Mu Qingyu also received an invitation.
Aunt Ning had tactfully advised him that since he had already written the letter of divorce, even if there was no chance of marriage anymore, it would be better to remarry the princess as soon as possible and give birth to the heir apparent as soon as possible.
However, when Chu Xinyuan thought about giving birth to a young prince with another woman, she felt uncomfortable.
The day before yesterday, someone delivered a bottle of medicine at the door of Prince Liang's Mansion, saying it was for him.
At that time, the concierge almost threw it away. If he hadn't happened to leave the house, saw the boy delivering medicine at the door, and asked more, he might not have known that Mu Qingyu had actually prepared the medicine to cure his hidden disease.
I found a kid on the street to deliver it.
It was obvious that the reason why he had a hidden illness was because of Mu Qingyu's move, but he could get the medicine, but he felt like he had inherited Mu Qingyu's kindness.
Yes, he actually didn’t hate Mu Qingyu for making him stop practicing for two years!
Chu Xinyuan shook his head and shook away the thoughts in his mind. Where he walked casually, he reached behind the rockery. Next to the rockery was an artificial lake, with a stone road in the middle for three people to walk side by side.
There is a weeping willow tree there, with green branches gently brushing the water, and the water breeze is blowing, which is quite pleasant.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he felt someone approaching quietly, so close that he was only two feet away from him.
This distance is already a dangerous distance.
He just had a slight dodge, but this man could get two feet closer to him, he was a master.
His strong vigilance and instinctive reaction in the face of crisis made him turn around suddenly and kick him out.
His movement was so fast that he only heard a cry of surprise, a splash on the water surface, and someone fell down.
After Chu Xinyuan kicked out, he found that the person opposite was wearing a lotus-colored palace attire. He also came to his senses and put away his inner strength. But even if he put away his inner strength quickly, the two of them were too close and the kick was not effective.
, but the woman in palace clothes was frightened and took a few steps back, retreating into the water.
The woman who fell into the water had an oval face, beautiful appearance and fine appearance. She was Fu Yuhan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Chengguo.
Fu Yuhan never dreamed that she would see Prince Liang coming here alone while walking around casually.
When the King of Liang returned to the capital, his majestic look with light armor, sword eyebrows, white horse and silver helmet captivated the hearts of many girls, and Fu Yuhan was one of them. But not long after, Chu Xinyuan got married to Mu Qingyu.<
/p>
The maid next to her inquired outside that Prince Liang was not a womanizer. He was plotted against in the palace and was forced to marry Mu Qingyu, so the two never consummated their marriage. She felt a little missing in her heart.<
/p>
Sure enough, we waited for the news that Prince Liang had divorced his concubine.
Thinking about her family background and appearance, they were all better than Mu Qingyu's, and endless hope arose in her heart. She heard that even the Queen was interested in being a matchmaker for them.
But when she saw her today, King Liang didn't recognize her and treated her coldly, which made her feel a little aggrieved. When she saw Chu Xinyuan alone, she left her maid where she was and quietly came over, wanting to be with Chu Xinyuan.
Say a few more words and become familiar with it.
The cold water chilled her girlish heart, but a secret expectation arose in her heart.
She fell into the water, and only King Liang is here. King Liang will save her, right? As long as King Liang saves her, the marriage will be stable!
