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

Chapter 536

Rong Xian was stunned for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. He raised his eyes to look at Mu Yongnian who was socializing with others, and then turned his attention to Mu Shuyao and said, "I heard that Princess Li is the second son of the Mu family. Miss? Sure enough, the demeanor is not inferior to that of the father."

Mu Shuyao's expression didn't change, she just said indifferently, "Princess Rong Xian has been living behind the snow mountain in the North, so I'm afraid she doesn't know much about what happened in Tianli Capital, and I have nothing to do with the Mu family now. Mu Xiang is not my father either, this is an imperial edict issued by my father himself." She only made a clear distinction between herself and the Mu family.

There was also a hint of embarrassment on Rong Xian's dignified face at this time. Of course she knew about the relationship between Mu Shuyao and Mu Yongnian, but she didn't expect her to speak so...so clearly in public.

As if seeing through Rong Xian's thoughts, Mu Shuyao also sighed: "Actually, I didn't want to make it so clear at first, but this matter is the emperor's will, and everyone in the capital knows it. It’s better for me to say it from someone else’s mouth, it’s more truthful, otherwise I don’t know what kind of rebellious and unfilial person I will become after being passed on by those talkative people.”

Hearing Mu Shuyao's tone of aggrieved, Rong Xian's heart moved, could it be that she regretted leaving the Mu family, but couldn't bear to get close to Mu Yongnian?
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth to say good things for Mu Yongnian, "During the disaster relief in Beidi, Master Mu took in the two hundred refugees from Han after me. I am very grateful. One of my nieces and ministers caught wind and cold when they went to the border to calm the refugees, and they got it." The warm tea presented by Master Mu made me dare not forget my gratitude. When I came to Tianli Capital today, I also brought some gifts to the daughters of the Mu family."

She spoke, half turned around, and took a few things from the hand of the accompanying maid. "This is a unique flower behind the snow-capped mountains. Our ancestors have called it Xuelihong for generations. It has a pleasant fragrance. It is most suitable for daughters to carry in their purses. This purse is also made of ice silk, which is used by the royal family of Houhan. , I made a special red purse in snow and gave it to Princess Li, and I hope Princess Li will not dislike it."

"Oh, it's so delicate and has embroidery skills. It's actually a hundred times better than the embroiderers in the palace." Mu Shuyao took the purse with a happy face, looked at it for a while, and then sniffed it. , frowned almost invisibly, immediately suppressed all the emotions in his eyes, and said to Rong Xian with a smile: "This smell is really good, thank you princess, but I didn't know that the princess would come when I entered the palace today, and I didn't prepare for it. I am truly ashamed to receive the gift in return.”

As she spoke, she pushed back the purse in her hand.

"Princess, please don't say that. But if you don't accept the small meeting gift, you won't give Rong Xian face. Rong Xian may still live in the capital in the future, and he will still rely on the concubine's care."

After talking about this point, it would not be good not to accept it, so Mu Shuyao smiled, stretched out her hand to take the purse, but did not hang it on the body on the spot, but handed it to the flower stamen behind her, and told her in her ear A few words.

Turning her head to meet Rong Xian's gaze, Mu Shuyao said with some embarrassment: "Today is a palace banquet, and all Shuyao is wearing are gifts from the imperial court. If you take any of them, you are afraid of being tongue-tied, so..."

Rong Xian realized, nodded and said: "It's because I didn't think carefully. It's the same for the princess to store her purse in her bedroom."

"Wouldn't it be a waste of money to put such an exquisite purse in the house? After the palace banquet is over, I will let the maid wear it for me. I will definitely envy all the wives and ladies." Mu Shuyao said with a smile.

"I've only seen ice silk in ancient books, and I know it's extremely valuable. The princess really has a heart." She smiled and thanked, "Shuyao will definitely come to visit someday."

The two of them were talking one after the other, at this time, a dance just ended in the hall, the singing stopped and the dance stopped, but the next group of dancers did not come on stage.

A courtier who was drinking happily shouted—"Why did you stop? Keep dancing!"

People laughed loudly, because of the New Year, it's good to be lively, and no one will feel that something is wrong.

But the singing and dancing didn't continue. After waiting for a while, someone suddenly heard a "huh", full of doubts.What followed was actually a melodious sound of the piano, and the score of the piano sound did not know where it was obtained, and it sounded somewhat exotic and mysterious.

Mu Shuyao narrowed her eyes slightly, and cast her gaze outside the gate of Yile Hall...

On the square outside the main hall, a thick layer of snow was covered by someone who did not know when.At this moment, there was a woman in red sitting cross-legged in front of a harp, playing for a while, and dancing around in the snow with bare feet.

The woman's red dress was extremely thin, a bit more revealing than the summer veil, and coupled with her bare feet, it made people feel chills at the first glance.

But a cold is a cold, but it is really beautiful.White snow with red clothes, like wintersweet in the garden has become a spirit, every movement and leap is so breathtaking.

Rong Xian didn't care about going back to his seat at the moment, so he just found a chair beside Mu Shuyao and sat down, looking at the dancing people outside the hall, he was very surprised.

"It's Mu Jiaqing." Huarui lowered her body, whispered something in Mu Shuyao's ear, and then said with a smile, "It's really dead!"

At this time, Mu Shuyao also recognized the people outside. Although the woman in red was only showing her background and hadn't fully turned around yet, how could she hide this from her sisters who grew up together.

She turned her eyes away and quietly looked at Chu Haoxi.Seeing that the man was very excited, he had already stood up from his seat, staggered away from the seat, and ran straight to His Highness.

His appearance made many people puzzled, but some veterans and family members knew the reason, and they couldn't help but secretly scolded the dancing woman as a brainless idiot.

Mu Shuyao no longer went to see Chu Haoxi and Chu Shouxin who were already stupid, but went to observe Luo Huang again.I saw that the Ninth Five Lord didn't show much on his face, but the anger in his eyes still couldn't be ignored.

She knew that Chu Haoxi's mother angered Luo Huang because of this qin music, and at the same time made Luo Huang cold-hearted towards Chu Shouxin.

The empress who was sitting next to Emperor Luo also became startled. While carefully watching the emperor who might get angry at any time, she also became angry. She really couldn't figure out who had the guts to play this zither , dance this dance.

Mu Shuyao felt a little strange, she frowned slightly, and thought to herself.

Mu Jiaqing is just a concubine of a courtier's family, and she is absolutely incapable of pointing out the eunuchs in the palace to move snow and set the scene for her, so there must be some arrangements.Either she had greeted people beforehand, or another caring person had greeted her for her.In short, it is definitely not that simple to make Mu Jiaqing play the piano and dance in the snow.
