The concubine is so charming

Chapter 35 A Bamboo Appreciation Banquet for Two

When Mu Zhenzhen received the invitation, she glanced at it in her hand, and threw it directly into the charcoal basin in front of her: "This Mu Ninghua is really shameless, now in the harem, who cares about him, really Do you think that with the support of Prince Rong's Mansion behind you, you will be superior to others?"

Sitting on one side, Mu Wanqing saw the invitation that was gradually engulfed by the flames in the charcoal basin, and couldn't help pursing her lips: "I don't need to learn the rules these two days, and staying in the temple is also boring, why don't you go over and have a look, say Maybe there is something exciting to watch?"

"Hot? Heh, that Mu Ninghua just felt that no one in the palace was paying attention to her. She wanted to use the name of the banquet to see if she could win over one or two people. I wanted to see. Without my consent, who would dare to attend her?" banquet!"

Mu Wanqing lowered her head and said nothing.

Mu Zhenzhen turned her head and glanced at her, with full scrutiny in her eyes: "Sister Wan Qing, don't you want to attend this Lao Shizi's banquet?
"How could it be?" Mu Wanqing smiled and shook her head, "Everything in this winter is withered, and the bamboo is also frozen green and low. It doesn't have much life, and there is nothing to reward at all."

Mu Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Didn't you say that, I heard from the maid before that some wintersweet trees have already started to sprout, I think it won't be long before I come here to enjoy the winter plums, when I hold a banquet, a few of us will also be there Let's have a good and lively time together, and when the time comes, we can invite the Empress Dowager over, she also likes plum blossoms very much."

"Okay, then I'll wait in peace."

On the day Su Yao decided to hold a banquet, no one came except Mu Zhaoyu.

Mu Zhaoyu looked at the snacks and teacups on the table, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "Ninghua, aren't you going to hold a banquet today? Why did you prepare things for two people?"

With a smile on Su Yao's face, he blinked slightly at Mu Zhaoyu: "My family knows about my family affairs, so besides sister Zhaoyu, does anyone else dare to come here?"

While talking, she sent the teacup in front of Mu Zhaoyu. She prepared things for two people, and it was just right now.

Mu Zhaoyu quickly raised his hand to take it, and followed her to sit on the soft cushion beside him: "It's rare to be quiet these two days, so it's good for you and my sister to have a good talk."

"To be honest, I invited my sister here today not just to talk."

Mu Zhaoyu was slightly taken aback: "But what do you need my help for?"

Mu Qingchen went to the Taixue with an illness, and couldn't even read all the characters. At the age of ten, he had to teach him to practice big characters alone, which had become a big joke in the palace.

Su Yao's situation is a little better, but he is taking advantage of the Queen Mother temporarily, and he will be blamed at some point.She thought that Su Yao's banquet at this time was just to ease the relationship and try not to be so difficult in the palace, but now it seems that she wanted to be simple.

"Sister can dance and Danqing?"

"My mother hired a master for me and learned a little bit, but I am lazy and not very proficient in learning, that is, I know a little bit."

"You don't need to be proficient, just know something." Su Yao's smiling eyes curved, and her beautiful face became more and more charming, "Our time in the palace is not short. Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, we always have to give it to the emperor. To prepare some gifts with the empress dowager, in the past, the family was the master, so we didn’t need to worry about it ourselves, but now that we have entered the palace, and we have been taken care of by the emperor and the empress dowager, if we don’t reciprocate, we will really feel uneasy.”

Mu Zhaoyu couldn't get back to her senses: "Ninghua, what do you mean... you want to present a gift through the palace banquet?"

"That's right, don't those courtiers who are highly valued all want to present gifts? The emperor's heirs are withered. Those of us ladies who were selected into the palace were actually raised as princesses. Naturally, the New Year is such an important festival. It is to express filial piety to the emperor."

Su Yao laughed sweetly, but these words made Mu Zhaoyu's chest thump.

"Ninghua, you don't simply want to present a gift to the emperor, do you?"

After getting in touch with her during this period, Mu Zhaoyu understood a little bit. The girl in front of her was not very old, but she had an extraordinarily tenacious temper. Can't find a single fault.A person with such a transparent and sophisticated temperament would naturally not just sit back and wait for death.

"Sister, are you willing to help me?" Su Yao looked at Mu Zhaoyu with fixed eyes.

In fact, she prepared things for two people, but she did not expect to be able to wait for someone to come. After all, Mu Zhenzhen was in the way, coupled with the isolation of the people around her, coming to make friends with her was tantamount to standing up to all the ladies of the clan the opposite of.

"Sister Zhaoyu also guessed that the reason why I did this was not simply to please the emperor, but more to break the current situation. I am afraid that I will face off against Princess Mingzhu and others. If I succeed, Nature is the best, if it fails, I'm afraid it will implicate you."

"Aren't you afraid of failure?" Mu Zhaoyu looked at Su Yao with complicated eyes. The reason why she explained the pros and cons clearly was to give herself a chance to refuse.

"Scared!" Su Yao nodded happily, "Of course I'm afraid too, but I can't stop doing it because I'm afraid of failure, or I'll be beaten all the time and have no chance of success."

Mu Zhaoyu smiled, picked up the teacup, and raised it in Su Yao's direction: "It's really disappointing not to have wine at this time. After the New Year's banquet, you and I can have a good drink. Now we can only use tea instead." Alcohol."

Although King Ping has been inconspicuous in the capital for these years, he is not completely vegetarian even though he has been able to live in peace and stability until now.

All Mu Zhaoyu’s teachings come from Ping Wang. According to her usual temperament, she would choose to be wise and protect herself at this time, but seeing Su Yao being embarrassed by others is still full of smiles, and seeing her unyielding and resisting at a disadvantage, she suddenly feels that A little more admiration.

She wants to help her, even if it fails in the end, Mu Zhenzhen is nothing more than stepping on her feet, she won't really do anything to her, she thinks she can afford this risk, if not, there is her father, he Will save myself.

Su Yao's eyes brightened sharply. No matter what the reason was for Mu Zhaoyu to agree, she would always keep this kindness in her heart: "Thank you, sister Zhaoyu. When the New Year's banquet is over, you and I will have another drink."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head to take a big sip from the teacup in his hand.

Substituting tea for wine now is an alliance, and the next time we actually drink will be a celebration.

After taking a sip, Mu Zhaoyu put down the teacup, and said with a smile, "Then you have to tell me carefully, whether it's dancing or painting, I'm not considered outstanding, so I can't hold you back."

"Don't worry, sister, I've already thought about it."
