Chunman Palace

Chapter 36
August [-]th is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The palaces began to prepare for tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Xuan Yin relieved Lin Qingyu's confinement in advance on the grounds that the Mid-Autumn Festival meant reunion and should not be parted.

After the ban was lifted, Lin Qingyu immediately went to Fujingxuan to wish a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's just that I don't want Chang Xiuru to be there, and the atmosphere is a bit awkward.

In order to ease the atmosphere and improve the relationship between the two, Mu Pingting suggested that the three of them go to fold golden osmanthus and make mooncakes together when they come back.

There are also a few osmanthus trees planted in Fujingxuan, but the pale yellow and white flowers are small and dense, and they are not suitable for placing in vases for appreciation. A golden osmanthus tree was in full bloom, so the three of them took their palace attendants with them.

It’s the autumnal equinox season, and all the flowers have faded, but only a few colors are still elegant. In the distance, an osmanthus tree full of golden flowers keeps swaying its thin flower branches.

Appreciate the golden osmanthus quietly, the fragrance should lead people into dreams, and the surroundings are bright and beautiful after closing the eyes.

Mu Pingting yearned for it, and couldn't help saying: "If you have a cup of cinnamon wine, don't let the flowers get drunk on the fragrant flowers."

Chang Xiuru also became interested, and suggested: "Sister Mu, if you want to drink sweet-scented osmanthus wine, how about we fold some sweet-scented osmanthus to make wine and bury it under this osmanthus tree, and wait for the fragrance of golden osmanthus to be taken out next year, how about that? "

Mu Pingting nodded slightly, "This is the best."

"Xiao Lezi, you guys go up slowly, fold the osmanthus branch and hand it down slowly, don't throw it away." Lin Qingyu instructed several palace servants, looking down at the azalea bush with only green leaves left.

Chang Xiuru stood under the tree and took a few golden osmanthus, handed it to Shuang'er beside her and said: "Shuang'er, you go back to the palace and take out the sake given by the emperor, brew this sweet-scented osmanthus into wine and bring it back."

Shuang'er nodded and walked back to the palace quickly.

Lin Qingyu was a little uncomfortable seeing Chang Xiuru, but seeing that there was no other important matter, she bid farewell to the two: "Sister Mu, Sister Chang, I'll go back to make mooncakes first, and I'll eat hot ones when you come back. "

Mu Pingting held her back and said softly, "Qingyu, wait until the three of us bury this sweet-scented osmanthus wine together and return together. Just let this sweet-scented osmanthus tree witness our friendship with Jinlan, okay?"

Marriage to Jinlan...Chang Xiuru and herself?
She looked at Mu Pingting tangled, and said against her will: "But the steps of brewing sweet-scented osmanthus wine are cumbersome, and the spare time is really wasted."

In fact, she also wanted to stay, but seeing that Mu Pingting and Chang Xiuru had such a good relationship, Chang Xiuru's company was enough, and she really didn't want to stay longer.

Chang Xiuru couldn't understand this hypocrisy, and said with thorny words: "Sister Mu, don't try to persuade me, maybe Lin Changzai thinks that being with us is a waste of time, and people will think that you are deliberately blocking me, so as not to let Fenghuang Flying alone, you will be favored alone."

Lin Qingyu's eyes turned red, she knew that Chang Xiuru had never accepted her, and now her provocative words irritated her even more, and she was about to leave after breaking away from Mu Pingting's hand.

The next second, Mu Pingting grabbed Lin Qingyu's arm again, "Qingyu, don't go! Listen to sister Mu."

"But..." Lin Qingyu choked up and couldn't speak.

"Qingyu, the more you avoid the relationship, the worse it will be. Can you trust Sister Mu once? If you really can't, I won't force it..." Mu Pingting's voice weakened, and she didn't continue.

Lin Qingyu instantly understood the meaning of this sentence.

Yes, one is a sister who has been with each other for many years, and the other is a "sister" who has only known each other for a few months. The two are not on good terms. As the middleman, she always has to choose?I will definitely choose the side with heavier and deeper feelings without hesitation.

For this reason, he would not hesitate to give up friends with weaker relationships.

Couldn't be more normal.

For a moment, Lin Qingyu didn't know whether she should hate herself for getting acquainted with Mu Pingting too late and the relationship was not deep enough, or whether she blamed herself for knowing Mu Pingting but not being favored by Mu Pingting.

Then, sister Mu, please give up Qingyu, right?No, it was she who wanted to quit. She couldn't fight but she didn't have enough emotional weight, so she quit. That's right, she just wanted to be alone before suffering more harm.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyu turned around with determination.

"Sister Mu, I think this matter must be settled."

Mu Pingting nodded, "That's exactly what I mean, Qingyu, listen to me first." She put her palm on the back of Lin Qingyu's hand, held it gently, and said softly: "You two are friends with my handkerchief, I Not one will be given up."

She turned her head and said, "Xiu Ru, you come here too."

Chang Xiuru reluctantly walked over, and the three of them put their hands together, and she seemed a little resistant.

"Xiuru, you and Qingyu are here to open up to each other, and you can express all your dissatisfaction with each other."

Chang Xiuru frowned and turned her head away, "Sister Mu, aren't you asking the question knowingly?"

Mu Pingting said persuasively, "Only if you say it yourself, can you untie each other's knots."

"Okay, then I'll say it." Chang Xiuru's eyes flashed cunningly, and she actually wanted to take this opportunity to scold Lin Qingyu like hell and express her malice in her heart.

She cleared her throat and said, "Lin Changzai, I just don't look down on your shabby background. You usually pretend to be innocent and pitiful, which makes me sick! You keep saying that you and Sister Mu are sisters, but you can practice dancing and invite pets yourself. Did you tell Sister Mu? If you are wronged and tell an outsider about harming others and yourself, it shows that your conduct is not good and your intentions are not right. "

The series of words Chang Xiuru said pierced Lin Qingyu's heart every word.

Such framing made her breathless.

Lin Qingyu didn't look aside, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Qingyu's status is low, and she is not as noble as her sisters, so she is not treated by Sister Chang, even if she is bullied, she will not say anything, but I don't want to embarrass Sister Mu, and I I promised Xin that I never said anything against Sister Chang, and as for why she knows, Sister Chang should know."

Chang Xiuru didn't expect to be bitten back, she got angry and continued to ask: "Then how do you explain this because you practiced dancing alone and invited pets?"

She paused for a moment, looked at Humanity with fixed eyes and said: "Qingyu knew that this was a dance of a foreign race when he read the music of Liuguang Dance, and was also worried about attracting the attention of envoys from foreign races, but he had no choice but to resort to dangerous tactics to find a way out for himself. I am afraid that my sister will be involved, and I am even more afraid that my sister will not believe me. My sister is not as beautiful as the two sisters. She has good talents, education and family background. This is the only way to go. If this makes my sister feel suspicious of me, my sister would rather avoid favor than accept favor .”

"You're a little underestimating yourself." Chang Xiuru never denied her beauty.

Lin Qingyu said humbly: "Sister Chang's praise, but Qingyu really doesn't dare to accept it, I just hope that we can live in harmony in the future."

Chang Xiuru was speechless for a moment, she didn't know what to say, she knew she couldn't say anything now, otherwise Lin Qingyu and Mu Pingting would not be able to break off their friendship, and she would be considered too unreasonable.

In the end, Chang Xiuru had no choice but to say casually: "If you want to be favored, why don't you say so? It wouldn't be so hard." Then she withdrew her hand, went to the osmanthus tree and climbed up the wooden ladder neatly, not wanting to be with more people Pretentious.

Mu Pingting patted Lin Qingyu's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm on your side. As for Xiuru, just get used to it slowly." Mu Pingting smiled and took Lin Qingyu's hand, and they came together To the laurel tree.

Seeing that the osmanthus branches were almost collected, Chang Xiuru asked the palace servants to take them back, and there were only three people left under the tree.

Chang Xiuru was extremely resentful and unhappy, but thinking of Mu Pingting saying all the good things to Lin Qingyu, she would give others a step down, at least she would be more harmonious on the surface.

Enduring her nausea, she turned around, curled her lips at Lin Qingyu and said, "It was my sister who misunderstood you in the past, so I am here to apologize to my sister Qingyu." She lowered her body slightly, and was supported by Lin Qingyu.

Lin Qingyu shook her head in surprise and said, "Sister Chang, get up quickly, Qingyu has already forgotten what happened before."

Chang Xiuru secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, had she already forgotten?Then who was the one who confronted him just now?But she still smiled and said it lightly.

"Well, in fact, I shouldn't force you to do something. We have our own temperaments. I admit that we can't be sisters with you, but it's okay to be friends." Chang Xiuru stepped back a few steps, and said lightly: "As for being Sisters, let's work harder for each other."

The worry on Lin Qingyu's forehead dissipated, and he smiled.

But how could she not know that Chang Xiuru hated her so much, it would be strange if she could become friends with a few words.

Since Chang Xiuru wanted to pretend, she could only show a little harmony in front of Mu Pingting.

At this time, Shuang'er also brought the jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

The three of them buried the sweet-scented osmanthus wine under the osmanthus tree, knelt side by side, held the red thread and joined hands to pray.

Mu Pingting held the hands of the two, and said with a bright smile:
"May the three of us work together and never abandon each other."

　Add even more!Work hard work hard!
