The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 279
After winter, the weather gets colder day by day.

Concubine Xian suddenly posted a post, inviting several ladies from Duke Ding's Mansion to go to the palace for a banquet. Even Mu Qinglan, who had always been insignificant, and Guo Nian'er, who was always against Concubine Xian, received the post.

Since it was a post from the palace, it was impossible to refuse, so the ladies from Dingguo's mansion had no choice but to go.

Mu Qingyu first arrived at the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion, and when he walked around the Chuihua Gate, he could see several carriages parked at the gate, the carriages Fang had prepared for them earlier.

Footsteps came from behind, Mu Qingyu turned her head, and it was Mu Qinglan who she saw.

Mu Qinglan walked up to her, and before she had time to greet Mu Qingyu, she suddenly turned her back, wiped her nose with a handkerchief, and then turned around.

The tip of her nose was red, and her voice was hoarse: "I made my sister laugh."

Mu Qinglan was weak when she was young, and even fell ill several times after winter.

Mu Qingyu frowned, and said, "Since you're sick, don't go today."

Mu Qinglan could only smile wryly: "I won't go, I'm afraid the princess will blame me."

Mu Qingyu didn't say anything after all.

After a while, Mu Qingqiu and Guo Nian'er also arrived, and they boarded the carriage and went to the Xian Wang's mansion.

When they arrived at the palace, there was only a little maid to greet them at the door.

It wasn't the servant girl that Mu Qingxue served close by, and she didn't know where she found it, so she didn't look very clever.

The ladies of Dingguo's mansion got out of the carriage, and the maid ran over clumsily.

"Slave magpie greets the ladies." Magpie bowed her knees, she didn't seem to know what else to do after saluting, she stood at one side helplessly.

"Where's your princess?" Mu Qingqiu said displeased.

After all, they are sisters from the same mansion, why didn't Mu Qingxue send a servant from the Dingguo mansion to greet her?
"Wangfei...is Wangfei enjoying the flowers in the garden?" Magpie guessed.

"Where is your princess, don't you know?" Mu Qingqiu raised his voice.

Magpie shook his head, and said truthfully, "I don't know, the servant is just a servant who waters the garden."

She had been assigned on an impromptu basis when she was watering the garden in the morning, and she was still confused.

She has never served the master, let alone entertained guests, so she doesn't know what to say or do.

After answering Mu Qingqiu's question, she stood at a loss again, hoping that someone in the palace would come to help her.

But among the servants coming and going in the palace, none of them would take a look this way.

Mu Qingyu finally understood that this girl was Mu Qingxue's gift to them.

Mu Qingyu said: "You take us to the princess's place."

"This servant knows me," Magpie said happily, "Miss, please come with this servant."

Magpie was secretly happy, finally found something she could do.Otherwise, standing dryly will make you feel uncomfortable all over.

Magpie led a few people to the palace, the courtyard of the princess, the most luxurious and magnificent place in the palace.

When a group of people reached the gate of the princess's courtyard, they were stopped by the gatekeeper's wife.

Magpie introduced: "Mom, these ladies are from Dingguo's mansion, and they are guests of the princess."

The woman looked them up and down with unobstructed eyes, then lazily raised her eyelids, and said: "Your Majesty has gone to the garden, you go to the garden to find your Majesty."

"Really? Sure enough, I guessed right." Magpie turned around and looked at the four ladies behind her.

"Ladies, please go to the garden with your servants."

The four people from Dingguo's mansion followed the magpie to the garden.

Magpies work in the garden, which she is most familiar with.

She led the four of them with ease, and walked through the entire garden, but they didn't find Mu Qingxue's shadow.

Finally, the magpie grabbed a passing maid and asked, "Sister, do you know where the princess is?"

"The concubine has gone to the prince's side." The servant girl finished speaking and left again.

The magpie said: "The slaves will take the ladies to the prince's side."

Those four people were originally spoiled young ladies.Mu Qinglan is no longer favored at home, except for poor food and clothing, when she is away from home, others will not treat her harshly if they know that she is from the Dingguo government.

This was the first time for the four of them to be played around.

The person behind the scenes turned out to be their direct sisters.

Mu Qingqiu and Guo Nian'er didn't like Mu Qingxue, so they simply went to the stone table and sat down.

Mu Qingqiu winked at the maid who brought him, and the maid hurriedly squatted down to beat her leg.

Mu Qingqiu complained: "After walking for so long, I can't move anymore, you go and tell the princess to come and find us."

Guo Nian'er echoed: "Yes, we are all thirsty and tired, when you ask your concubine to come, bring us some tea."

The magpie panicked immediately, she was just a little girl, how could she instigate the princess?

She could only persuasion feebly: "The prince's courtyard is not far away, why don't the two young ladies take a walk?"

Mu Qingqiu and Guo Nian'er didn't go to see the magpies at all, they were determined to stay here.

The magpie is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, she is a rough maid in the garden, how does she know what to do?
"I'll go with you." Mu Qingyu smiled faintly.

Mo Zhu gently tugged on La Mu Qingyu's sleeve.Mu Qingxue intentionally made things difficult for them, and when they got to King Xian, Mu Qingxue must have another trick.

Mu Qingyu turned a deaf ear to it and just looked at the magpie with a slight smile on his face.

The magpie was delighted, even if only one young lady passed by, she could still explain to the princess.

"Second Sister," Mu Qingqiu called out, "Don't go."

Guo Nian'er was also constantly winking at Mu Qingyu, hoping that she would see earlier that this was Mu Qingxue's trick.

Mu Qingyu laughed: "I'll be back soon, in the palace, nothing will happen."

Saying that, Mu Qingyu will follow the magpie no matter how the two feel.

After walking a few steps, Mu Qingyu stopped, and said to Mu Qinglan who followed her step by step, "You don't need to follow me, go sit over there and rest for a while."

Mu Qinglan walked back obediently.

Only then did Mu Qingyu continue to follow the magpie to King Xian's courtyard.

In the westernmost corner of the palace, several courtyards here are empty and empty all the year round.

Fortunately, people often come to clean it, and there is still a place to set foot in this courtyard.

Mu Qingxue sat on the steps disregarding her image, and there was no one else beside her except Chunhong.

Chunhong came back after inquiring about the news, "Princess, Magpie led them to search the garden all over."

Mu Qingxue laughed, "The garden is so big, it's hard for them to go through it all. Where are they going now?"

"The magpie took them to the prince's courtyard." Chunhong replied.

"Okay, let them play more in the palace." Mu Qingxue stretched her waist, without any intention of getting up.

After sitting for a while, another maid came over.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness is back." The servant girl said.
