Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 53
The zhezi carved door was pushed open, and the small and exquisite Zan beaded shoes stepped over the threshold of the boudoir, and walked towards the outside of the house with lotus steps.

At the gate of Lanyue Pavilion, a group of beautiful pink ladies stood in the warm east wind.

Lu Ziyu had just taken two steps before stopping again, and told Jing Zhe and Bai Lu behind him, "You two go prepare the sedan chair first!"

Ordinary people, if the master goes out, only the close maids can follow and serve, but today Lu Ziyu participated in the banquet and chose two second-class maids, in the eyes of other maids, it is also a great honor to be rewarded by the young lady.

Luo Ning has always been big-hearted, always puts the young lady first, as long as the young lady is happy, she doesn't care about anything else.

But Lianyi is different, she has always been favored and proud, relying on her handsome appearance and the love of the lady, she usually treats these little maids harshly, but today she can't serve in front of the lady, she will definitely be bullied by those low hoofs she usually bullies behind her back joke.

Thinking of this, Lianyi, who came late, felt that the freshly applied makeup on her face was red like being slapped, and it hurt her bones.

Lianyi heard yesterday that the Mu family handed over a name card to invite her lady to the banquet today. She rummaged through the boxes and cabinets all night to find a piece of clothing that she was reluctant to wear on weekdays. Take her to Mu Mansion.

Unexpectedly, she rushed here with joy, but what she heard turned out to be bad news.

The gold butterfly hairpin on her head made her unable to lift her head up, and her neatly manicured nails were tightly clenched in the palm of her hand.

Jing Zhe and Bai Lu heard the young lady's order, they looked at each other, agreed, lifted their skirts and walked quickly towards the backyard sedan chair.

Lu Ziyu half-closed his phoenix eyes, looked at Jing Zhe's back with deep meaning, raised his hand to call Luo Ning Fu over, and murmured an explanation.

After hearing what his young lady said, Luo Ning's face was a little dignified, he frowned, nodded a few times, and hurriedly left Lanyue Pavilion.

After everything was settled, Lu Ziyu turned his eyes to look at Ripple standing at the door of the attic, who had been meticulously decorated from head to toe.

Lianyi couldn't stand still, unable to guess what the lady's intention was, she raised her head to probe.

The woman on the steps was wearing a dress she had never seen before. The pine flower color set off the skin of the person on the steps like white snow, her chest was tied low, and a hairpin with clear water and tassels was placed in her hair, which made her look more lively and bright. Like the moon.

Lianyi stared obsessively. A second ago, she thought it was offensive and disgraceful, but the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. If she wore this clothes on her body, wouldn't the first and third sons also be her servants?
Their eyes met, one was idiotic and resentful, and the other was smiling but not smiling.

With a "plop", Lianyi quickly knelt down and bowed her head to the ground.

She could see clearly that those phoenix eyes were like a lonely well on a cold autumn night, reflecting her greed and evil.

Those were the eyes of the demon looking at the helpless person, without pity or sympathy, just looking at her from a distance without waves, but it made her feel chilly, as if she had been stripped naked and thrown into the snow.

Lu Ziyu closed his eyes, swayed his willow waist lightly, and walked out from Lianyi who was kneeling at the door of Lanyue Pavilion.

Without saying a word, it made people's scalp tingle.

Seeing that pine flower color getting farther and farther away from her, Lianyi slightly raised her head and smiled secretly in the direction of Lu Ziyu's walking. The cowardly look just now disappeared, replaced by mad jealousy and resentment.

Outside the gate of Mu's Mansion in Beijing, there are already a lot of people, and many carriages and sedan chairs of dignitaries have already arrived one after another.

Mu Mansion deserves to be known as the "No. [-] Mansion" in Kyoto.

Standing in front of the gate are two white marble lions, one male and one female, majestic and angry. On the top of the red lacquered wooden door is a large gilt plaque with the four characters "serving the country with all sincerity", which is very angry.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Lu Ziyu looked up at the upper courtyard of the Mu Mansion's deep house through the gauze curtain.

The attic is towering and the pine branches are towering.

He lowered his eyes and thought deeply, and when he opened his eyes again, it was much clearer.

She seemed to understand a little bit why the Mu family was so extravagant and extravagant.

In the troubled times, only those who stay calm and watch the situation will be jealous by the emperor and push themselves into the fire pit!If he wanted to break the situation, he had to expose his shortcomings for the emperor to see carefully.

Those who have wealth are not guilty of death, but if they are greedy for power, they have violated the taboo of saints.

After all, do people with power still worry about where their money goes?Power can make a person rich like an enemy, and it can also make a person lose his wealth.

Seeing that the Mu family doesn't know how to restrain themselves, they are actually just following the trend, which is really great wisdom.

I don't know that the Mu Mansion is doing things now, but it was arranged by the Ninth Prince?

Now she thinks that Beijing is more interesting. The secrets are like fog, making it difficult for people to see clearly, but they are tricking people to grasp the truth.

Cherry lips curled slightly, slightly mocking.

In Mu's residence, Yanfang was already gathering, and the voices of talking, laughing and joking were endless.

Today is the spring feast. To put it nicely, it's just that the wives in leisure are taking their brothers and sisters to play together. If it's not nice to say, it's just a pretense to exchange official information with each other.

This is the case with political tactics, one person's strength is at stake, if there is a party, this official career can go smoothly.

The place where the Mu Mansion held the banquet was in Hongcang Garden, which is also the largest courtyard in the mansion. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and flowers bloom all the year round.

Men and women can sit together and play together resolutely.

Many good men and women love this eclectic "Spring Banquet" the most. If they can get in touch with the princes and ladies of the four clans, maybe they will be proud of the whole family.

In an octagonal hanging bell pavilion in Hongcangyuan, a woman with a high-spine bun, an eight-treasure emerald cluster chrysanthemum hairpin, and a black-gold satin smoked dress is sitting in the center.

This woman is about forty years old, but her eyes are bright and bright like a mirror, and her appearance is surprisingly similar to that of Concubine Mu Gui in the palace. A sharp and bright posture.

This person is the banker who hosted the banquet today, the younger sister of Concubine Mu Gui - Mu Qingyun!

Mrs. Mu has three sons, all born of his wife. The eldest son, Mu Yangming, is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Only the second daughter, Mu Qingyun, can still live in the mansion even though she is married, and is in charge of all matters in the mansion. Even the eldest sister-in-law is no different, and she gives the power of housekeeping to her husband and sister.

It can be seen that Mu Qingyun still has a lot of means, otherwise he would not be able to restrain the people living in such a large house.

At this time, Mu Qingyun was enjoying the cool in the pavilion, surrounded by many officials and wives who slandered and flattered her, some praised her clothes, some praised her outstanding make-up, and some praised her lush hair, all she had to say was that her farting smells delicious people.

A group of ladies kept making noises, but Mu Qingyun was not impatient from the beginning to the end, on the contrary, he was very useful, with a cheerful face like a bodhisattva.

"Yo~ Huaiqing, I've been looking for you for a long time, who ever thought you would hide here to relax?" The laughter came first, but no one was seen.

Huaiqing is Mu Qingyun's boudoir name, who is so arrogant to call Concubine Mu Gui's younger sister by her nickname?
The curtain was gently lifted with bare hands, and a beautiful lady dressed in a silk dress with two swallows from the green lake came in, followed by a beautiful woman who was only twenty-eight years old.

This woman wore a pipa light-colored silk skirt, which looked gentle and elegant, but the fierceness hidden in her eyes did not match her attire today.

"I met Mrs. Wang."

The wives bowed profusely, with a fawning look on their faces.

The person who came was none other than Wang Li, the wife of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty.

Behind him is the second daughter from the direct line, Wang Ruofu, who is now waiting to marry into her boudoir.

Before Mu Qingyun got up, he smiled and said to the maid beside him, "Show Mrs. Wang a seat."

The word she used was "Madam Wang" and not "Madam Prime Minister". The ladies around her are all scheming in their bones. Anyone who doesn't have the eyesight to see that the two are not in harmony at this time is a fool , It's the husband's failure to get promoted.
