Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 304

"You—" Mu Hongyu hesitated to speak, and after a long while, he sighed heavily, "I know your temperament very well, if you can say what you want to say, you will definitely make it clear without me asking. If you don’t say it, there must be your reason.”

"If you really can't tell, then I won't ask. If this is what you are most worried about, then elder brother promises you that no matter where you go in the future, elder brother will definitely help you take good care of Aunt Jiang and Aunt Song. Never break your word."

After bowing deeply to Mu Hongyu, Mu Changge said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Brother Changge."

Helping her up from the ground, Mu Hongyu said: "If the empress ordered you to enter the palace as the princess's companion, it will make you think wildly, then you don't have to, the empress really has no reason to do anything to you."

After a pause, Mu Hongyu lowered his voice and said: "If you are worried, the empress thinks that our Mu family is not prominent enough to be worthy of His Royal Highness, then you can just leave it to the eldest brother, don't you believe that the eldest brother Is it your job?"

Knowing that he really cared about her, Mu Changge burst out laughing. She was indeed worried, but what she was worried had nothing to do with the Queen.

Mu Baozheng's death meant that the "choice" that the masked man said had already been answered.She always had a premonition that the mystery she wanted to know all along would be solved by that man in a few days.

And that man will not come to find them for no reason. After all the mysteries are solved, what she will face is society, whether it is dangerous or not, everything is still unknown...

Seeing that, the heat of summer is at its peak. When the sun rises, even the noisiest birds are silent, and they rush to avoid the heat.

Mu Changge, who entered the palace again, stepped into the queen's bedroom, and suddenly felt that the heat in his body had dissipated a lot.

A large piece of ice was placed on the table, and a maid in the back held a fan to fan out the cool air. No matter how hot it was outside, the inside of the hall was still cool.

"The courtiers see the empress."

Forgive her the gift, the empress said kindly: "In such a hot weather, you have to work hard to come to the palace. Take a rest first, drink a cup of plum soup, let's discuss it slowly after it cools down."

As she spoke, the empress motioned for Nanny Zhang to bring the plum soup filled with crushed ice.After a few sips, the whole body is refreshed.

After exchanging a few polite greetings, the queen brought the topic to the matter of the princesses studying. When this was mentioned, there was a faint sadness on her face.

"Speaking of it, I am puzzled. How can Concubine Shu Gui be so educated? Whether it is Rou'er or Chang Rui, I like to be at ease. But apart from these two, the others are considered sensible, that is, Lack of interest in reading."

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient. The other princesses are still young, and they are not at the age to study patiently. If you are a good guide, there will be no mistakes if you have a mother like your Majesty to teach you."

The queen laughed and shook her head, "I'm afraid you don't know how naughty those little girls are."

As she said that, seeing Mu Changge finished drinking the plum soup, the queen ordered Nanny Zhang to go get another one.

Nanny Zhang had just brought the plum soup, and just as the sweet and sour smell wafted away, she heard Concubine Han Defei's voice coming from the door.

"If you want to talk about the plum soup in this palace, it must be the only one that tastes good here. The concubine is really hot, so I want to come here to ask for a plum soup."

Concubine Han De smiled and walked in with three steps. She has a plump body and is more afraid of heat than ordinary people. Beads of sweat have already penetrated her chest and back.

"Sister Concubine De, good food. I just ordered someone to freeze the plum soup just now. You come here just in time to drink it."

Seeing the Queen's expression, it is not difficult to know that Concubine Han De must come here often on weekdays.

After entering here, Concubine Han De saw Mu Changge and smiled, "Isn't this the second miss of the Mu family? The empress is also true. Why didn't you signal the concubine in advance, and let the second miss Mu see the joke."

"Is this a joke or not? You might as well ask the palace, who in the entire harem knows that your Concubine De wishes to come here every day to beg for plum soup."

The queen smiled and motioned Concubine Han De to sit closer to her, "In such a hot weather, if you want to drink, just send someone to come to the palace and tell me, why did you come here by yourself?"

"The concubine is used to talking to the empress, if she doesn't come someday, she is really not used to it."

Seeing the words and deeds of Concubine Han De and the Queen, Mu Changge could tell that the relationship between the two must be extremely harmonious, otherwise a concubine would definitely not dare to be so intimate with the Queen.

Mu Changge smiled, and said: "The empress and the concubine are really harmonious, even if they are biological sisters, it's nothing more than that."

Concubine Han De just took a sip of the plum soup, and the sultry flush on her face faded a little, "It's the Empress who is approachable, so I let my temperament go."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that when I first entered the palace, I was very scared. I don't know if this empress, who is the mother of the world, has a serious temper. Who would have thought that we would know that we are in Bai'an after seeing each other for real?" Queen, the most friendly."

As she said that, Concubine Han De laughed again, "Look at me, I'm getting old, I want to talk about old sesame seeds and rotten grains, I want to talk about it when I see someone, don't worry about Er Miss Mu, this is me It's an old problem."

"The concubine De concubine has a bright temper, how could Changge mind, I just think she is very friendly." Mu Changge laughed.

"That's good, my palace's face, it's fine to lose it, but we can't implicate our empress." Concubine Han De's voice changed again, "By the way, you are entering the palace today, but to accompany the princess to read? "

"If it's related to this, it's just right, empress, the concubine also has something to discuss with empress."

Before she finished speaking, Concubine Han De's plum soup had already run out, and Madam Zhang was about to go up to change another one for her, when Concubine Han De suddenly remembered something, and ordered the maid beside her to wrap up a portion of the soup. The lotus seeds were handed over to Nanny Zhang.

"It's your tea lotus seeds again?" Mu Changge didn't recognize it, but the queen recognized it at a glance, "Your taste is really the same for ten years."

After listening to the two empresses chatting a few more words, Mu Changge realized that Concubine Han De's ancestral home was not in the capital of Bai'an, but grew up in the ancestral house when she was young.

Concubine Han Defei's hometown is most famous for lotus flowers. She used to eat lotus seeds since she was a child, but tea lotus seeds are the only thing in the Han family. After being boiled, it is fried and dried.

Except for the people in Concubine Han De's ancestral house, I searched all over Bai'an, but I couldn't find anyone else who could make this tea lotus seed.

"This stuff tastes strange to others, but this concubine can't forget the taste of this hometown." Concubine Han Defei smiled and said, "Especially soaking it in sour plum soup, the taste is even better."

The two talked a few more words, only to hear Concubine Han De continue what she said just now: "I have an unfeeling request, but I don't know if the Empress will agree?"

"Talk about it." The Queen smiled and signaled.

Although she was easy-going, she was not in a hurry to agree, she just waited for Concubine Han De to explain first what it was for.

"The concubine also feels embarrassed. If Jingjia hadn't begged the concubine so hard, the concubine would not even come to talk to the empress."

Concubine Han De wondered: "Your Majesty knows that Jingjia doesn't like this or that on weekdays. He just likes to stay in the room and study all day long. A prince, the people who come into contact with all day long are those poor scholars who can't get on the stage. .”

"That's all. Who knows, the more he chatted with one of the people he knew, the more speculative they became. He said that the man was very poor but had extraordinary talents. Jing Jia hit it off with him immediately."

"The concubine thought that he was just a poor scholar, and there was nothing wrong with him. If he really hit it off, he could just keep him in the mansion."

Listening to her talking, the queen nodded from time to time, signaling her to continue talking.

"But no one thought that that person is still stubborn." Concubine Han De smiled wryly, "Whatever you say, you can't eat the food you get for nothing, and you don't want to stay peacefully in the prince's mansion, you must support yourself."

"But it's not difficult for the empress to know that kind of person who is too lonely and arrogant, and he will inevitably be squeezed out everywhere. Jingjia also felt that it was a waste of talent to let this person go elsewhere, so he asked the concubine to beg the empress."

The queen understood her intentions, "The third prince means to let him enter the palace to be the husband of the princesses?"

"Exactly." Concubine Han De hurriedly said again, "I also know that his request is a little too much, but this emperor's son is too dull on weekdays, and it's rare to make a request with my wife, so it's not too much for me. Shameless, have you come to ask the empress?"

"It's not too much, but the palace is no better than other places..." The queen pondered for a moment, and said, "Why don't we first find out the ins and outs of this person, and if he is really useful, it wouldn't be a bad thing to let him into the palace. .”

"The concubine thanked the empress!" Concubine Han De smiled happily, "With the words of the empress, at least the concubine can handle him."

The queen smiled, with a bit of helplessness, "You, you are usually careless, but you have nothing to do with the third prince."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she drank the plum soup made with tea and lotus seeds in one gulp, and Concubine Han Defei got up to leave.

After leaving the queen's bedroom, Concubine Han De, who was smiling brightly, gradually changed her face.

Signaling her confidant maid to come closer, Concubine Han De lowered her voice, "Find a suitable time to tell the third prince and tell him to be more careful, and don't let the queen notice anything early."

"Yes, empress." The maidservant nodded solemnly.

"Also, remember to tell him to hide everything that should be hidden before entering the palace, and don't be careless." Concubine Han De said coldly.

"Yes, empress, the maidservant has also written it down." The maidservant responded, and asked tentatively, "Then, empress, do you want to return this thing?"
