The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 41

The royal palace has a natural majesty.

Mu Qingyu walked slowly, keeping her eyes on the ground.

The Xian Wang yelled several times before Mu Qingyu raised his head in a daze.

The virtuous king frowned unobtrusively. Although Mu Qingyu is a rare beauty, beauty alone cannot be a virtuous princess.

With such an appearance, it is more than enough to be a favored side concubine.To be a virtuous concubine is still a bit short.

The Xian Wang thought of another lady from Dingguo Duke's Mansion whom he met last time, she was smart and flexible, which was suitable, but unfortunately she was just a concubine.

Alas, if only there was a way to have the best of both worlds.

"What's your Highness's order for summoning your courtiers?" Mu Qingyu asked cautiously.

King Xian smiled, "I just want to ask Miss, if I want to take a stroll in the imperial garden."

"All courtiers are fine."

The virtuous king stopped talking and led Mu Qingyu to the imperial garden.

The two walked one after the other, Mu Qingyu lowered his head and did not speak, even the virtuous king who was always eloquent also kept his mouth shut.

The passers-by of the palace all quietly glanced at this strange duo.

After walking all the way, the virtuous king led Mu Qingyu into a pavilion, and the discerning palace servants brought tea and snacks.

Now the Holy Majesty favors and trusts the virtuous king even more, and it is common for the Crown Prince to be reprimanded by the Holy Majesty for his virtue.

There have been rumors in the palace that the sage intends to change the crown prince.

That's why the virtuous king sat down in the pavilion, and the palace people couldn't wait to show their courtesy.

"By the way, what are your hobbies when Miss is at home?" Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, King Xian took the initiative to break the silence.

Mu Qingyu lowered her head halfway, and said sullenly, "My servant has no hobbies other than embroidery."

"Have you ever read a book?"

Mu Qingyu shook her head, "Grandmother said that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and courtiers don't like to read, so they haven't read anything except enlightenment books."

King Xian's smile froze, "Old Madam Mu is right, as long as a woman takes care of the back house and prevents the inner courtyard from catching fire, that's fine."

"Is the lord talking about taking care of the house affairs?" Mu Qingyu smiled shyly as he said this, "The courtiers haven't learned yet, so mothers who are in charge of these things are enough."

King Xian stretched his face, and his always gentle image almost couldn't hold up.

He really wanted to ask, what else does this Miss Mu family have besides her beauty?Could it be an embroidered pillow?
He has great ambitions, how can he complete his great cause without a good wife?
King Xian began to ponder in his mind whether there was any possibility of ruining this marriage.

Mu Qingyu didn't have the worries of the virtuous king, and even saw the sage king's troubled appearance, and felt more and more proud.

She picked up the snack in front of her, and ate it in small bites unceremoniously.

The appearance of this delicate and simple beauty, in the past, the virtuous king could appreciate it in a good mood, but now he just feels that the more he looks at it, the more headache he gets.

Mu Qingyu was half full, and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

"Is there nothing else, Your Highness?" Mu Qingyu asked bluntly.

Xian Wang just drank the tea in his mouth and almost spit it out, but he still choked and couldn't help coughing twice.

After finally calming down, he replied: "Today is my king's birthday. The emperor father and the queen mother will give me a day off. I have nothing else to do today."

Mu Qingyu snorted, and muttered softly, "I thought princes were always doing nothing like this."

Although he was talking to himself, he was heard verbatim by the virtuous king.

King Xian's face darkened in an instant, he didn't expect that Miss Mu's family had no talents, and even her EQ was so low.

To become Princess Xian in the future, I don't know how many troubles will be caused to him.

King Xian coughed softly to hide his embarrassment.

After sitting for a while, the two were relatively silent.The oppressive and dreary atmosphere made King Xian unable to sit still, he stood up and said, "This king is going to take a walk by the lake, miss, do you want to go together?"

Mu Qingyu shook his head quickly, and pointed to the dim sum in front of him, "I won't go until my daughter has finished eating."

King Xian's eyes darkened, he flicked his sleeves and walked out, Mu Qingyu's uselessness really gave him a headache.

After King Xian went out, Mu Qingyu curled the corners of his mouth, and there was a smile in his eyes.

She believed that with her background, Mu Qingxue must be very pleasing to the eyes of King Xian.

All she had to do was wait here quietly. Mu Qingxue was definitely scratching her head when she saw King Xian and Mu Qingyu going out, and she had to do something.

As Mu Qingyu expected, Mu Qingxue had already found a reason to come out of the Queen's Palace at this time, and the palace servants took her to the imperial garden.

She spent a lot of money to buy a little maid, and the maid showed her a bright way.

When Mu Qingxue arrived at the lake, he happened to see the Xian Wang who was relaxing.

She looked around and had a calculation in her mind.

Seeing Mu Qingxue approaching, the palace guards guarding around the Xian Wang originally wanted to stop him, but the Xian Wang still remembered Mu Qingxue, so he asked the palace staff to let him go.

Mu Qingxue approached, Yingying saluted, "My daughter pays homage to the prince."

After finishing speaking, she boldly looked at King Xian with a pair of beautiful eyes full of affection.

King Xian bent his lips, "Get up quickly, there is no need to be so polite."

"Why is Your Highness here alone? Where is my sister?" Mu Qingxue asked.

"Second Miss Mu is resting in the pavilion."

Mu Qingxue sighed softly, "Second Elder Sister likes to stay in the boudoir on weekdays, so she can't move after walking around for a while, Your Highness, please don't be offended."

"Is Second Miss Mu not in good health?" Xian Wang was surprised.

Mu Qingxue looked at the people around her with some scruples, and said in a low voice: "I dare not say this, but the second sister is usually timid and cowardly, and she likes to shed tears for no reason. insufficiency."

What Mu Qingxue said was ambiguous, but the Xian Wang immediately remembered Mu Qingyu's weak appearance.

His heart sank. Could it be that Duke Dingguo wanted a weak person to become a virtuous concubine?

The Xian Wang's gaze fell on Mu Qingxue again. Mu Qingxue was generous, intelligent, and capable of taking the position of Xian Wangfei.

It's just a pity that Mu Qingxue's embarrassing status, if she can take Mu Qingyu's position, Mu Qingxue's temperament will be improved.

Suddenly, the virtuous king had a flash of inspiration. If Mu Qingxue was allowed to become the side concubine and let Mu Qingxue act as the virtuous concubine, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
The more Xian Wang thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and Mu Qingxue became more and more pleasing to his eyes.

So he waved away the palace servants, and walked slowly by the lake with Mu Qingxue, talking while walking.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, Mu Qingxue pretended to be accidentally slipped by a rock on the shore, leaned back and fell into the lake.

Before she was about to fall, she quickly grabbed the sleeve of King Xian and pulled him into the water together.

King Xian turned pale with shock, he was dragged down by Mu Qingxue without any precautions.

The cold lake water made him wake up instantly. How could he die in this place, His Royal Highness?
He was almost on that position, he was not reconciled!
