urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 168 Clues

Chapter 168 Clues

The majestic palace carved with jade railings, the carved dragon and phoenix on the cornices spread their wings, and the big red pillars are carved with lifelike dragons, all of which seem oppressive and make people want to surrender from the bottom of their hearts.

The queen specially explained that a soft sedan chair was prepared for the pregnant concubine, and Su Hui and Mu Zhaozhao were also covered.

The soft sedan was parked outside the Kunning Palace, and there were palace maids to welcome them in.

There were already several female relatives in Kunning Palace who were talking with the empress, and when they saw them coming in, a not-so-young lady smiled and said, "Empress, why is the concubine here?"

Mu Zhaozhao didn't dare to raise his head, and after he knelt down to salute and greet the concubine, a palace maid helped the concubine to get up, and she and Su Hui followed.

Only then did the concubine curtsey to the noble lady who spoke: "Princess Rui Ann, mother, she has a bit of cold and dare not enter the palace."

Mu Zhaozhao was very sorry when he heard that, yes, why did he forget that if he is sick, he cannot enter the palace, and he is afraid that he will give the nobles a bad temper.

If I had known that I would have found a way to get sick, I would have saved myself from going through this experience today.

It is true that the rules in this palace are strict, and she is always on the alert after entering, she is really not used to it.

"Look up, let me see!" The empress was indeed more partial to the third brother, and she was also curious about the kind of woman he was going to marry after all the fuss.

Su Hui and Mu Zhaozhao both followed the instructions of the nanny and raised their heads behind Fu.

There is no shortage of stunning beauties in the harem. The two women in front of them are not as beautiful as immortals, but they are both women in their most beautiful jasper years, and they are also charming and charming.

What made her even more curious was Mu Zhaozhao: "Minxuan, this girl is somewhat similar to you."

"What the empress said is true," the concubine Shizi deliberately moved to Mu Zhaozhao's side, "I also think that Zhaozhao is [-]% similar to me when I was young."

The empress had heard from her third brother before that Mu Zhaozhao had noticed that the second younger brother and sister wanted to use incense to harm the Lin family. Later, an accident happened during the Lantern Festival. The meritorious service of saving the car caught the eyes of the Holy One.

Even she thought it was a bit unbelievable that Mu Zhaozhao and Xuan Ping Hou Shizi could have a marriage contract.

So I deliberately tested her: "I heard that you can make fragrance, so can you tell me what kind of fragrance I am using today?"

Mu Zhaozhao took a deep breath, and said hesitantly, "To the Empress, my little girl smells like Su Hexiang made from witch hazel?"

The empress smiled when she heard the words: "That's right, I really have some ability."

Mu Zhaozhao didn't want to attract attention at all, and said shyly, "My lady, my cousin also likes perfume."

"Oh, it's quite clever." The Empress also took advantage of the opportunity to let Su Hui approach her. After chatting for a while, the court lady led the courtier's family members in, and Mu Zhaozhao and Su Hui also retreated to the side of the Crown Princess .

The ones who came in one after another were the family members and daughters of the six important ministers who had orders, and most of them wished to show their faces in front of the empress and make an impression.

Although some of the princes were already married, and the rest had engagements, but the side concubine hadn't been settled yet, and the thoughtful families naturally brought their daughters to join in the fun.

After half an hour, the maid came to invite the empress to get up and go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony for the banquet.

Only the concubine Shizi came from Cheng Engong's mansion, so Mu Zhaozhao and Su Hui also had the honor to sit with the concubine Shizi.

In front of them are the concubines of the Holy One, and the noble lords of the clan. Even the Duke Cheng'en's mansion is far away from the empress.

Across the wide hall, on the opposite side are the prince, prince, six ministers and generals.

When the ceremony and music sounded, the Holy Majesty brought the Empress to the banquet. After the music ended, both men and women bowed, and the Holy Majesty said, "Everyone, today is the Queen's birthday. I would like to congratulate you on the Queen's birthday. I am very happy." , all gentlemen, have fun together, and have fun!"

"My concubine thanked the sage for his grace." The empress also held up the wine glass: "I will drink this glass with all your lords."

After that, the princes began to toast, but the people below were a little more casual, and they could chat with the ladies and ladies at the next table in a low voice.

Mu Zhaozhao was always worried, but he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he didn't have the appetite to eat the delicious food in front of him, because it was too inconvenient to clean the room in the palace.

The concubine Shizi knew the officials and family members nearby, and she just talked to each other, gossiping and gossiping in a low voice.

Soon, beautiful women came up to perform dances. The melodious music and graceful dancing postures made Mu Zhaozhao fascinated.

After the dance, it's juggling.

Ball jumping, handstand, pole jacking, and knife swallowing are common outside, but there are fire-breathing performances and illusions in the palace.

In particular, fetching objects with the mind, turning rice into goldfish, and phoenix appearing on a lamp are really wonderful, which made Mu Zhaozhao and Su Hui, who have little knowledge, stare dumbfounded.

"Huh," Su Hui sniffled, and asked in a low voice, "Zhao Zhao, do you smell anything strange?"

Mu Zhaozhao also nodded: "It seems to smell like intoxicating flowers."

After finishing speaking, he asked puzzledly: "Could it be to make this illusion look better for us?"

Su Hui didn't understand this either, and looked around in a daze: "Could it be like this?"

After all, it was their first time entering the palace, and they didn't know if this was normal.

Besides, although the drunken flower will make the inhaler dizzy, it still requires a lot of drunken flower, so the smell should be fine, right?
At this moment, Mo Xiuhe sneaked up from the opposite side, leaned in front of them, showed his white teeth with a smile, and asked a bit showing off: "Huihui, Zhaozhao, how is it? The jugglers in the palace are better than those outside. Does it look better?"

The concubine Shizi didn't dare to say anything to the favored uncle, she could only say angrily: "Sit back quickly, and be careful not to be scolded by your father."

But when she looked up, she found Cheng Engong and the Seventh Prince talking, no wonder she didn't find that the youngest son had mingled with the female relatives again.

It is a pity that not only the eunuchs but also the maids of honor did not see this inappropriate behavior of my uncle.

Mo Xiuhe really didn't take it seriously: "I'm not afraid, anyway, even if I don't come, dad will still find an opportunity to scold me."

He picked up the white porcelain jug on their table and shook it, proudly like a weasel who stole a chicken: "You really don't know how to enjoy it. This is the best amber wine, which is rarely seen outside."

"Since you don't like it, then I will solve it for you?"

Mo Xiuhe rushed to the maid behind and said, "Go get me a cup."

After the maid left, Mo Xiuhe, who couldn't wait, simply raised his head and poured wine from the spout to his mouth.

When Mu Zhaozhao saw him, he was very worried about Su Hui, but he didn't expect Mo Xiuhe to be a drunkard.

Suddenly, Mu Zhaozhao suddenly thought of one thing. In her previous life, she had heard from Mo Xiuyu that this amber wine was indeed extremely rare, but if it was added with Zuixinhua, it would become the most powerful Mongolian medicine.

She hesitated for a while, but still whispered the matter in the ear of Shi Zifei.

The concubine Shizi took a breath, her face turned pale, she held Mu Zhaozhao's hand tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"

Mu Zhaozhao wasn't sure, she just heard what Mo Xiuyu said.

But looking at Shi Zifei's unbelievable look now, could it be that Mo Xiuyu in this life has never mentioned this matter to her?

Did Mo Xiuyu lie to him back then, or was he telling the truth?
This matter has too much to do with it, and Mu Zhaozhao is not sure?

Su Hui also heard it, and her expression changed: "Concubine Shizi, but this intoxicating flower is really there, Zhao Zhao and I have both smelled it."

"Yes, you can't be careless." The concubine Shizi wanted her uncle to tell the empress, but at this moment, Mo Xiuhe finished a pot of wine, hiccupped, sat down on the ground and started Nagging: "Let me tell you, Huihui and I are getting married, hehehe, they say that there are three joys, hiccup, hiccup, what can the bridal chamber wedding night be compared to?"

It's a pity that at this moment, his brain capacity seems to be insufficient, and he can't remember which Sanxi is at all, so he took Su Hui's little hand and asked: "Brother, may I ask which Sanxi is here?"

"Hey, let me go..."

The concubine Shizi's face was even more ugly. She knew that although my brother-in-law was greedy for drinks, he could drink very well, but this jug of wine was not much, so even if he had a few more jugs of wine, he shouldn't lose his composure like this.

In her heart, she believed what Mu Zhaozhao said before, and she didn't have time to worry about her uncle pestering Su Hui, so she handed Mu Zhaozhao her hand, and said loudly, "You help me to toast the queen."

When Mu Zhaozhao heard this, his hands and feet became inexplicably weak, feeling as soft as noodles.

She really wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare, so she could only help the concubine Shi Zi to the empress.

The lady at the side vaguely heard the words of the concubine Shizi, saw them leave, and looked at Mo Xiuhe pestering Su Hui, she couldn't help laughing: she must want the empress to let someone take away the drunken dude, Also found an excuse to toast.

If you are really going to toast, why don't you bring your own wine glasses.

However, Mr. Mo's drinking capacity is too small, right?

On the other side, the empress also surrounded a few female relatives, and after toasting, she said some compliments before she reluctantly withdrew.

In fact, the empress was very troubled to socialize with so many people, she was relieved to see them coming, she felt that she could take her time, and asked lazily: "Are you tired, why don't you let someone take you to the next door to rest."

The concubine Shizi leaned over and said in a low voice, "Eldest sister, I have something to tell you."

After speaking, he glanced at the maids and nuns beside the queen.

Those who can stand next to the queen at this moment must be the queen's confidantes. Seeing the look in the eyes of Shi Zifei, I am a little puzzled.

One must know that the reason for allowing the concubine to get so close to the empress is because she is the concubine of Cheng En's mansion.

Even so, they all stared at Shi Zifei and Mu Zhaozhao, fearing that there would be some inappropriate actions.

If there is something that cannot be heard, how can you say it on this occasion?
Didn't you realize that the crown prince is so stupid before?
Unless something urgent happens suddenly.

One of the nuns looked at their position and was speechless.
