The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 12

"General, I'm going back first." When Mu Qingling faced Li Zhao, she no longer had the domineering attitude she had when she faced Mu Qingyu, only the delicate attitude of a young daughter remained.

Li Zhao nodded meticulously.

Mu Qingling gave a salute to Li Zhaoying, Mu Qingyu followed behind Mu Qingling with her head down, seeing that the person in front was getting shorter, she almost instinctively followed suit, and also got shorter .

Li Zhao's gaze lingered on Mu Qingyu for a moment, then turned sideways to let the two of them go first.

Mu Qingyu lowered his head and suddenly shivered.Could it be that the wind blowing from the pool is so cold?She tightened her collar and followed behind Mu Qingling.

Seeing that the banquet was about to start, but Mu Qingling and Mu Qingyu hadn't come back yet, Mrs. Mu was a little anxious, and when she wanted to find a palace servant to look for in the imperial garden, the two didn't come back.

"Why have you been away for so long?" Mrs. Mu looked at Mu Qingling, but her tone was full of indulgence.

"The scenery is good, so I'll watch it for a while." After walking all the way, Mu Qingling calmed down a long time ago, and returned to his calm appearance.

Mu Qingyu followed behind her with her head down, and she couldn't see anything unusual. Everyone just thought that the two of them were just having fun, and stopped in the imperial garden for a while.

The banquet was about to begin, and everyone moved to the Chongguang Hall.

The women's seats are on one side, and the men's seats are on the other side, with a screen covering the middle.After everyone entered the table, the palace people shouted loudly at the entrance of the hall: "The emperor and queen are here!"

Everyone got up and knelt on the ground to salute.

Mu Qingyu lay on the ground, listening to the sound of footsteps from far to near, and finally landed on the top.Then a woman's gentle voice sounded: "Get up."

After thanking everyone, they got up and took their seats.The seats in Dingguo's mansion were in the middle. Mu Qingyu turned his head and saw the empress sitting upright.

The empress is nearly forty years old, and she is well maintained. From a distance, there is not a single wrinkle on her face.

Mu Qingyu lowered his head, staring at the silver chopsticks on the table in front of him in a daze.Mu Qingxue looked around with great interest.

The seat next to the queen's empress is the princess or princess, if Mu Qingling didn't want to accompany Mrs. Mu, her seat should be there as well.

Right now Mu Qingling is also in a trance, she is absent-minded even when Mrs. Mu talks to her.

"Ling'er?" Mrs. Mu worriedly held Mu Qingling's hand.

Feeling the temperature from her hand, Mu Qingling turned her head and smiled at Mrs. Mu, "Grandma, I'm fine."

As he said this, his mind recalled the scene of Li Zhao ruthlessly rejecting him just now, and he couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

But she will not give up just like that, for Li Zhao, she refuses to be Princess Xian.For Li Zhao, she could even give up her identity and status as the county head.

She raised her head and stared blankly at the screen in the middle, the screen could block her face but not her voice, she could hear Li Zhao Hui Sheng's voice, still without any disturbance or surprise.

Mu Qingxue was also staring at the screen, wishing she could push down the screen with her own hands so that she could see the nobleman behind the screen.

"Wow, this is a tribute wine." Mu Qingqiu let out a small exclamation.

Mu Qingqiu sat between Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingxue. As soon as these words came out, the two people around her all looked towards her.

"My mother never let me drink alcohol," Mu Qingqiu said as he drank the wine in the glass in front of him, squinting his eyes to taste it, "It really tastes good, you should try it soon."

Mu Qingyu looked at her wine glass, which was filled with fine nectar and jade dew. She moved her nose and took a sniff, picked up the wine glass and drank it down. It really was good wine.

Mu Qingqiu leaned over, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

After finishing speaking, she waved to the palace man who was holding the jug behind her, "Come and fill it up for us."

The palace servants filled the wine for the three young ladies of the Mu family. Mu Qingling calmly looked at the three people beside him, and then picked up the wine glasses and drank, wanting to drink away his worries.

Old Mrs. Mu didn't stare at it for a moment, and found that the girls she brought seemed to be drinking wine as if they were competing for a test. She felt dizzy for a moment, and glared at the palace maid who wanted to come up with a full drink.

The palace man backed away awkwardly, the jug in her hand was empty anyway.

Mrs. Mu warned in a low voice: "It's a mistake to drink..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the majestic voice of the Queen's Empress came from above: "I heard that the young lady from Dingguo's family is also here?"

Mrs. Mu's face was ashen, and she quickly glanced at the four granddaughters, then turned around, and said respectfully: "Reporting to your mother, all the granddaughters of the servants are here."

The empress looked over with great interest: "The third child has a marriage contract with your second granddaughter, so your second granddaughter should come too, come and let me have a look."

Mu Qingyu's heart shuddered when she was named, she didn't expect the empress to remember it so clearly.King Xian is born of a noble concubine, and he did not expect his empress to be so concerned about his marriage.

Mu Qingyu looked at Mrs. Mu, just in time to meet her serious eyes.

Mrs. Mu nodded slightly, motioning for Mu Qingyu to go over.Mu Qingyu pursed her lips tightly, stood up and walked towards the empress step by step with her head down.

A thick and soft Persian blanket was spread in front of the Empress's seat, and Mu Qingyu knelt down and bowed down to salute: "Ms. Mu Qingyu pays her respects to the Empress."

"Get up." The empress said with a smile.

Mu Qingyu stood up cautiously, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the seat next to the Empress Empress. The bright yellow figure immediately retracted his gaze and dared not look any further.

It turned out that there was no screen on the empress's side.

"Raise your head and let me take a look." The empress said.

Mu Qingyu raised his chin, but his eyes were fixed on the Persian rug on the floor, not daring to look directly at the empress, for fear of being guilty of disrespect.

Xu Shi had just drank wine, her eyes were shining with crystal light, her cheeks were slightly flushed, she looked delicate and weak.

The empress is very satisfied, such a person is worthy of the virtuous king, if he is a shrewd one, maybe the virtuous king will have some thoughts.

The Empress glanced at the Xian Wang who was still talking to the people next to him, her eyes turned cold.

King Xian felt the chill, but remained calm and continued talking to others.

Today's banquet was set up by the Holy Majesty for Li Zhao, and Li Zhao happened to be sitting at the lower head of the Holy Majesty.Every move of Mu Qingyu fell into Li Zhao's eyes.

Still with a cold chill, he stroked the wine glass with his fingertips.

Mu Qingxue looked at the empress's gaze at Mu Qingyu, the admiration revealed in her eyes, and she felt aggrieved in her heart.

She is more outstanding than Mu Qingyu, if the empress sees her, will she still think Mu Qingyu is okay?

She grabbed the veil and stared at it with burning eyes.

Xu Shi felt Mu Qingxue's fiery gaze, the empress noticed the other end, and said indifferently: "That is also the lady of Dingguo's mansion, come up and let me have a look."

Mrs. Mu's heart seemed to be pinched, and she secretly regretted that she would have gritted her teeth if she knew it earlier, and would never have brought Mu Qingxue out.

It's just that she also secretly wondered, when did the queen empress care so much about Duke Dingguo's mansion?
