Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 63

"Aunt Kang Wang, I'm really sorry. I didn't know that there were so many people at today's birthday party, and even the empress dowager came."

Wei Zhaoran tugged at Zuo Mu's sleeve, apologetically.

"Okay, you didn't do it on purpose. Besides, as a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, don't you have to meet sooner or later? Seeing you sooner saves you worry." Zuo Mu grabbed a leaf casually, and a bird on the tree suffered. Terrified, he flew into the sky and fled.

Looking at the little bird, Wei Zhaoran's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his head and suggested enthusiastically, "Auntie, if it's not like this, and if you really feel unhappy, we might as well slip away while we're in trouble."

"Slip away? Thank you for thinking it out. Let me tell you, what bad ideas are you pretending to have in your head!" Zuo Mu pointed at Wei Zhaoran's small forehead and cursed in a low voice,

"It's okay if ordinary people slip away. What are the identities of the two of us, and we have attracted so much attention just now. Do you think we can still slip away? I'm afraid we will go on the front foot, and someone will put on small shoes for us on the back foot and announce it to the public." .

You, you, why is your temper rougher than mine, what if...

Zuo Mu was cursing vigorously, but saw that Wei Zhaoran was absent-minded, his mind was not on her at all, and a pair of eyeballs were staring straight ahead.

Zuo Mu couldn't help but take a step forward to block Wei Zhaoran's sight, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, "Hey, little friend Wei Zhaoran, is my elder scolding you? Can you show some respect..."

"Yeah... Auntie, if you want to scold, just scold, don't block me!" Wei Zhaoran hastily stepped aside, and continued to stare at the front.

Zuo Mu finally realized what was wrong, and hurriedly followed Wei Zhaoran's gaze, and saw a small figure walking back and forth uneasily behind the rockery not far away, looking around and looking around from time to time.

"Isn't that Wu Wan'er? It's Concubine Cheng's birthday today. If her daughter-in-law doesn't run to the front to join in the fun, why is she sneaking around behind the rockery?" Zuo Mu asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, you don't look normal, do you? Look at her holding a lotus flower in her hand, I guess, she must be holding back, and she wants to make trouble." Wei Zhaoran's eyes were wide open. Looking at the thief, he pulled Zuo Mu forward, "Let's go, let's get closer and see what she wants to do, maybe there will be a good show in a while."

Wu Wan'er's strange whereabouts indeed aroused Zuo Mu's curiosity, so she followed without saying a word.

The two quietly hid in the dark, silently observing Wu Wan'er, and saw that after she walked around the rockery for a few times, she finally found a suitable position behind a big tree near the rockery.

Forget it, what kind of cat is this man hiding behind the big tree?
Zuo Mu was wondering when he saw the Empress Dowager Bai and her party, led by Concubine Cheng, walking towards the rockery, talking and laughing.

"Empress Dowager, you always don't know. At this time in previous years, the lotus flowers in the pond have long withered, but this year is lucky. Not only did they not wither, but they bloomed more and more beautifully in the past few days..." Concubine Cheng said happily to the Empress Dowager Bai Introduced.

lotus...

Zuo Mu's brows twitched suddenly, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart: Could it be that Concubine Cheng is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking today, and that the banquet is fake, but the trick is the truth!

And just when Zuo Mu was stunned, Wu Wan'er saw the right time and rushed straight out from behind the big tree, coincidentally bumping into the absent-minded Empress Xu.

Of course, she still controlled her strength very well, and both of them only staggered a small step, which did not cause any injuries.

"The Empress, calm down, the Empress, calm down, Wan'er didn't do it on purpose." Wu Wan'er immediately plopped down on her knees, with tears in her eyes, as if she had made a big mistake.

"As a concubine, Wu Wan'er behaves improperly and sits improperly, how decent!" Empress Xu stabilized her body a little, and immediately scolded angrily with a straight face.

"That's right, what's going on with you kid today? You're so reckless, it's not a big deal if you offend the queen, but what if you offend the empress dowager!"

It was rare for Concubine Cheng not to defend her shortcomings, and she actually helped out, "Besides, I just asked you to help fetch some things for the banquet held in Furong Hall today, but you have dragged yourself back until now, and even got water all over you... "

After being reminded by Concubine Cheng, everyone realized that Wu Wan'er quietly put her hands behind her back, and a large area of ​​wetness was clearly visible on the hem of her skirt.

"Mother... the empress dowager, calm down, the empress dowager, and the concubine mother, calm down!" Wu Wan'er continued to lower her head, with a submissive expression, "It's all Wan'er's fault, for rushing at the empress dowager, and disturbing the empress dowager, Wan I am willing to be punished!"

"Okay, I can't call it a disturbance. It's not a serious matter at all. Get up quickly!" The Queen Mother Bai resisted everyone's opinions, still with a kind and kind face, "It's just that you are always safe, and you are so safe today. Why? And what are you holding in your hand? Why have you been hiding behind your back?"

"To the Empress Dowager, it's...it's a lotus!" Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Wu Wan'er had to take out the lotus behind her and said in a low voice, "Just now, my mother ordered Wan'er to fetch something, but when Wan'er passed by the lotus pond, she accidentally I found that today's lotus blooms very beautifully, especially the one deep in the lotus pond is even more eye-catching, and Empress Dowager, you have a noble character, which coincides with this lotus. Wan'er likes it very much, so she trembled. I picked the guts and wanted to show it to my wife, but it took me half a day and my dress got wet, I really deserve to die."

"You silly child, it's rare to have filial piety." Concubine Cheng stepped forward to take Wu Wan'er's lotus, handed it to the maid next to the Queen Mother, and scolded softly, "But since the lotus in the lotus pond is beautiful, how can the concubine mother do it?" I don’t know how to bring the empress dowager to reward you, but you just messed around there by yourself and made it look like this..."

"Okay, the child is also kind, just say a few words." Seeing that Cheng Guifei couldn't stop the training, the Queen Mother Bai pulled Wu Wan'er by the back and said, "Come on, don't pay attention to your mother and concubine, where are the lotus flowers blooming?" The most beautiful, hurry up and take Aijia over there to have a look."

"Obey!" Wu Wan'er didn't dare to be arrogant, she responded in a low voice, and hurriedly led the way obediently.

So the mighty group of people, who initially admired the lotus, successfully followed Cheng Guifei's route to appreciate the lotus.

And coincidentally, every time he took a step towards the lotus pond, the faces of Empress Xu and Mrs. Wei Guogong would become even uglier.

"Yo ho, it seems that there is really something going on, let's go, let's follow!" Zuo Mu saw that the matter had taken shape, and dragged Wei Zhaoran to quietly mix in the team.

"Look, Empress Dowager, there is the lotus pond, isn't the lotus blooming beautifully?" Turning a corner, from a distance, Wu Yinger pointed to the lotus pond and shouted excitedly.

"The flowers are blooming very well, but in terms of scale, they are far worse than Jingyue Lake."
