The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 226 Inside the Side Hall

"Princess, look, even the restaurants and inns in this capital city are hung with red lanterns, it looks really festive!" Hua Rui pointed to the outside and said.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and there are no vendors and passers-by on the long street. Everyone is staying at home to celebrate the New Year with their relatives. Therefore, it is really impossible to see the excitement, but the long street is very festively arranged. No wonder the stamens who are celebrating the New Year in Beijing for the first time like it.

Xiaofang was sent by Mu Shuyao to celebrate the New Year with Zhang Youqing and the others, so at this time, Mu Shuyao only had three personal maids by her side.

Mu Shuyao listened attentively, but she didn't hear anyone talking in the carriage in front of her. She thought that everyone in that carriage had their own thoughts.

"It seems to be snowing outside." Hua Rui shouted excitedly.

A corner of the car curtain was accidentally lifted by the wind. Mu Shuyao looked sideways at the increasingly dark weather outside, and found that snowflakes had fallen profusely outside since no one knew when. Slowly falling, it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

And Mu Yanran heard her exclamation, only lifted the curtain to look out, then threw down the curtain, said disdainfully: "You really are a bumpkin, Luoxue deserves such a fuss."

Hua Rui acted as if she hadn't heard her voice, her big eyes were staring at the snowflakes outside, and she stretched out her right hand to catch the snowflakes to play with.

Seeing this, Mu Shuyao didn't stop her. As for Mu Yanran's voice, she just thought it was the wind blowing in her ears, and she didn't care about it at all.

"Princess, we're arriving at the palace soon!" The coachman reminded the people in the car at this time, Huarui stretched out his hand wisely, so as not to be seen and lose Mu Shuyao's face.

At this time, the carriage stopped slowly, and I felt the body shaking slightly, and then heard the voice of the guards in front. It must be that the driver in front jumped out of the carriage and explained which family's female family it was. Mu Fu's waist badge was shown to the imperial guards for inspection.

As for Mu Shuyao's carriage is for her own use, there is no need to go through such a lot of trouble, as long as the carriage in front moves, her carriage will naturally be let go.

It's just that entering the palace every time is very cumbersome. After getting off the carriage, Mu Shuyao and the old lady got into three sedan chairs one after another, and walked to a side hall next to the imperial garden.

Several people got out of the sedan chair and walked into the side hall under the leadership of the maid. At this time, there were already a lot of official family members in the side hall. Everyone was sitting around chatting and laughing. A stark contrast.

When everyone saw Mu Shuyao coming in, regardless of whether they wanted it or not, they stood up and saluted, "I've seen Princess Qingwan."

"You don't need to be polite, ladies and gentlemen, please sit down." Mu Shuyao accepted the greetings generously before opening her mouth.

After thanking everyone, they returned to their respective seats and continued the topic just now.

"Sister Yao." Just as Mu Shuyao sat down, she heard someone calling her name not far away. Following the sound, she saw Anyang Princess Meng and Gu Luoer sitting by the window smiling at her .

Mu Shuyao smiled back, and immediately walked over with the maids.

None of the wives and ladies in the palace brought their maidservants, but Mu Shuyao had the emperor's permission to bring her maidservants into and out of the palace, so when everyone saw it, they could only envy and hate her, but no one dared to criticize her Character.

Mu Shuyao raised her eyes and looked around the side hall, and saw that a lot of official family members had come, most of them were familiar faces, but this time Fang Siyun, Ji Xueqian and others were missing, and even Yi Yuqi's mother and daughter didn't seem to be there either.

Walking in front of Meng Shi, Mu Shuyao bowed to Meng Shi as a junior, "Shuyao has seen Aunt Hua, and it's been a long time since Aunt Hua, how is Aunt Hua?" Then she greeted her sweetly.

"Let Aunt Hua take a good look at it!" The Meng family has long regarded Mu Shuyao as her own child. Hearing that she was caught in a fire at Puguo Temple, why not worry?Seeing Mu Shuyao standing in front of him safe and sound now, his hanging heart was finally relieved.

"The servants have met Princess Anyang, please greet her." Huarui and the others saluted to Meng Shi, and then to Gu Luoer, "The servants have met Princess Yongning."

"Okay, get up, thanks to the benefits of protecting the Lord, you will stay by Yao'er's side every step of the way in the future, and protect her well." Meng gave the three girls admiringly, and ordered the mothers beside her to give the three girls a hand. People give rewards.

"Thank you, princess, for the reward. The servants will definitely serve the princess with all their heart." After thanking the reward, the three of them retreated to the side so as not to hinder Mu Shuyao from talking with Meng Shi and the others.

Seeing that Gu Luoer was the only one beside Meng Shi, Mu Shuyao couldn't help but wondered, "Why didn't the old concubine come?"

"My mother is getting old, and she doesn't like such lively occasions. She is meditating on the Buddha in the mansion." Meng said with a smile; "But she asked me to tell you that you must go to Anyang Palace after the New Year, otherwise she will go to bathe herself. The government has arrested people."

Speaking of her own mother-in-law, Meng's heart was full of gratitude. If it hadn't been for Mu Shuyao's rejuvenation, she might not be able to get up now.

"Go and visit." Mu Shuyao agreed with a smile.

At this time, Mrs. Mu chatted with the lady next to her, and walked over with Mrs. Wang and Mu Yanran.

Seeing that Mu Shuyao had a good talk with Meng Shi, he saluted and said, "See Princess Anyang, Princess Yongning."

Meng Shi glanced at the three of them, and said coldly: "Please get up." But she didn't say anything else, and just watched Mu Shuyao chatting with Gu Luoer.

A trace of displeasure flashed in the old lady's eyes, Mrs. Wang's face was gloomy, and Mu Yanran's eyes were full of jealousy, but there was nothing she could do.

Gu Luoer raised her eyes inadvertently, saw the faces of the three members of the Mu family, and touched Meng's arm.

Mrs. Meng turned her head, just in time to see the expressions of the three of them, and said with a sneer on her lips: "Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu, why bother to show face in front of this concubine? People who don't know think that this concubine has bullied the three of you." .”

"Don't dare, dare not." The old lady hurriedly pulled Mrs. Wang and Mu Yanran to lower their heads and said, "I just heard that the old princess is not feeling well. I wonder if she is better now?"

"With the blessing of the old prince, my mother will naturally be in good health, so don't worry about Mrs. Mu." Although Meng is disgusted in his heart, it is not easy to show it on the surface.

When the old lady heard this, her face flushed slightly, but she pulled Mu Yanran to her front and said, "I haven't seen the princess and princess soon."

Mu Yanran saluted Mengshi and Gu Luoer reluctantly, but Mengshi still called out lightly, without any warmth on her face.

Just when Mrs. Mu was feeling embarrassed, another group of people came, but it was Mrs. Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who came with her daughter Fang Siyun.

The two first saluted Mengshi and Gu Luoer, and before Mengshi could speak, Gu Luoer pulled Fang Siyu aside and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't your cousin come with you?"
