The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 40

"Miss, I heard that the fourth lady is making meticulous preparations for the prince's birthday." Mo Zhu stopped.

She saw that in the past two days, people from tailors and jewelry shops kept coming in and out of Mu Qingxue's yard.

And she heard from the people in the kitchen that Mu Qingxue spent a lot of money buying ingredients these days, and has been eating medicinal meals for beauty and beauty all day long.

Mu Qingxue's intentions were so obvious that even Mo Zhu couldn't stand it anymore.

Mu Qingyu nodded. She already knew Mu Qingxue's intentions.Hearing it from Mo Zhu this time, he was not surprised, but his expression was normal.

"Miss!" Mo Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "You can't let Miss Si get her way."

Mu Qingyu let out a meaningful oh, and began to think in his heart.

Mo Zhu thought that Mu Qingyu had listened to his own words, and felt a little relieved.

She believed that as long as Mu Qingyu paid attention, no matter how Mu Qingxue jumped up and down, she would be no match for Mu Qingyu.

What Mu Qingyu thought was completely opposite to what Mo Zhu thought.

Since Mu Qingxue is in such a hurry, she might as well help Mu Qingxue and make Mu Qingxue get what she wanted.

"Miss." Mo Zhu called softly.

Mu Qingyu stretched out her hand, thinking that what Mo Zhu gave her was hot tea, but when her hand sank, Mo Zhu gave her her sewing basket.

Mu Qingyu frowned, "I don't want to start sewing now."

Mo Zhu forcefully pushed the sewing basket into Mu Qingyu's arms, and said, "It's not long before the prince's birthday, miss should do it early. The slaves will keep an eye on you."

After confronting each other for a while, Mu Qingyu had no choice but to pick up the needle and thread, and began to embroider the sachet under Mo Zhu's supervision.

Mo Zhu even thought up the pattern for Mu Qingyu, and he must embroider a pair of mandarin ducks for Mu Qingyu.

Mu Qingyu had no choice but to use the embroidered sachet to pass the time.

Finally, the birthday of King Xian came, and the young ladies of the Mu family, including Mu Qingling who lives in the Mu family, all got up early.

After tidying up, Mrs. Mu led them to the palace.

This is the second time entering the palace, without the anxiety of entering the palace for the first time.

Mu Qingqiu and Mu Qingyu were in the same carriage, and Mu Qingqiu leaned close to Mu Qingyu, smiling teasingly: "Second Sister, what gift did you prepare?"

Mu Qingyu thought of the sachet that she had been embroidering for several days, and before going out, Mo Zhu had repeatedly asked her to give it to King Xian with her own hands, and she couldn't help but get a headache.

"I embroidered a sachet casually, it's not something precious." Mu Qingyu said lightly.

"Sachets are not precious, what is precious is my sister's wishes!"

If everyone's ladies heard Mu Qingqiu's jokes like this, they would definitely blush.But Mu Qingyu didn't have any affection for the virtuous king, so he could only lower his head to hide his embarrassment.

Mu Qingqiu thought that Mu Qingyu was being embarrassed by himself, so he laughed more and more happily.

Soon they arrived at the palace, and several people went in with ease until they reached the queen's palace.

Led by Mrs. Mu, everyone saluted the queen.

The queen raised her hand and said, "Get up, give me your seat."

Several people sat down after thanking them, and Mu Qingyu had the time to look at the palace.

The empress's palace is resplendent and majestic, and every decoration in the palace is extremely precious.

This is the most prosperous place, no wonder so many people come here when they are overcrowded.

Mu Qingyu lowered his eyes and stopped looking around.

Mu Qingxue was very courageous, looking around with big black eyes.She thought her movements were slight and no one could notice.

But the empress who was sitting at the top could see everything in sight, she slightly curled her lips with bright lipstick, and said with majesty: "Second miss, come to this palace to have a look."

Mu Qingyu was startled, said yes in a low voice, then walked over with his head down.

Seeing this scene, Mu Qingxue couldn't help clenching her fingers.

Mu Qingyu lowered her head, the queen could only see her black hair.

"King Xian is coming soon..."

As soon as the Queen finished speaking, there was an announcement from outside that His Royal Highness King Xian had come.

The members of the Mu family immediately stood up, Mu Qingyu saw this, retreated, and stood with Mu Qingqiu.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness." The members of the Mu family bowed their knees and saluted.

The Xian Wang avoided Mrs. Mu's big gift, and said with a smile: "Get up quickly."

After speaking, he bowed to the queen.

After everyone sat down again, the queen moved her body lightly, facing the virtuous king, and said, "Have you finished the work ahead?"

"Is there anything I can be busy with, but to accompany His Royal Highness and listen to the teachings of the father. Now His Royal Highness is busy with important affairs in the court. There is no business for the minister, so the minister will come here." Xian Wang is humble. said.

Those who don't know the inside story may believe what King Xian said.

But the queen knew that now the emperor paid more attention to the virtuous king, and the prince became a foil.If this continues, maybe the emperor will hand over the country to the virtuous king.

In order to maintain the prestige of her mother, the queen can only keep her anger and unwillingness in her heart.

With a decent smile on her face, she said: "Miss Mu Er specially came to the palace for your birthday. Later, you can take Miss Mu Er out for a stroll, so you can talk."

Mu Qingyu lowered his head and said, "I dare not."

Her voice was so small and soft that others thought she was shy.

The queen's voice became more and more gentle: "You have a marriage contract, so you don't have to stick to the details."

For a weak and easy-to-manage young lady like Mu Qingyu, being a virtuous concubine is exactly what the queen wants.

But the virtuous king thought that marrying Mu Qingyu would be able to take advantage of the power of Duke Guo's mansion, which is impossible.The queen's eyes glanced over Mu Qingxue inadvertently, and it happened that the prince still lacked a side concubine.

She had heard that Second Master Mu doted on Mu Qingxue, the daughter of the outer room, even more.

Mu Qingyu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mrs. Mu: "Since that's the case, Yu'er shouldn't refuse."

Mu Qingyu had no choice but to say: "My daughter obeys."

She lowered her head and backed away without even looking at King Xian.

Mu Qingxue, on the other hand, kept looking towards the Xian Wang, but it was a pity that the Xian Wang kept looking away.

After sitting for a while, the Queen urged the Xian Wang to take Mu Qingyu out for a walk.

The virtuous king got up, and Mu Qingyu reluctantly followed, and the two went out one after the other.

Looking at the backs of the two, the queen smiled and said, "It's really a good match."

Mrs. Mu followed suit with a smile: "My lady said that before she came out, Yu'er personally prepared a congratulatory gift for the prince."

Listening to the empress and Mrs. Mu talking about Mu Qingyu, the neglected Mu Qingling felt jealous.

She took the initiative to get up and walked to the empress, and said courteously: "Your Majesty, I haven't been in the palace for a long time. I wonder if the sore shoulders of your Majesty are much better? Why don't you ask my Majesty to squeeze your shoulders."

The queen's eyes showed kindness, "You have a heart,"

After speaking, the palace servants behind her walked away, Mu Qingling understood, walked behind the queen and gave her a shoulder squeeze.

And Mu Qingxue pinched the veil and kept looking outside.
