Chapter 088: Self-effacing (1 / 2)

Mu Zi Yan deliberately hanging a pink Xia Jin Ribbon lotus root silk satin dress, combed a flowing cloud bun, inserted pink bead flowers, wearing a pair of the simplest but white jade earrings, lining that ear beads full and rounded, Mu Zi Yan measured himself in the bronze mirror, could not help but admire the age of this flower bones now, thinking that she is a thousand years old tortoise, according to the words of the world, it is to pretend to be young.

Mu Zi Yan guffawed and responded with satisfaction, “It’s not ostentatious, and it doesn’t fall behind, so it’s very good.”

When Yunxiang saw Mu Zi Yan say this, she only smiled slightly, Bi Yun handed her a string of bracelets, she raised her hand to put them on, turned around and left the courtyard.

“Eldest Miss, Table Young Master sent word just now that he will come over later and personally escort you to the palace.” Yunxiang said in a low voice.

“Cousin has a heart.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly.

Mu Zixi and Mu Zilan were also dressed up.

Mu Zi Ruoxi purposely picked out a long gown in a brilliant haze, which set off her fair skin brightly by a few points, while Mu Zi Lan was wearing a smoky aran-colored saree, with a smile at the corners of her mouth, and more than a few points of elegant serenity.

Mu Zi Yan looked at the two flower-like sisters coming from afar, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a faint smile, “Both sisters are great beauties.”

“Big sister where are your words.” Mu ZiXi pretended to be intimate and went up, so she wanted to hold Mu ZiYan’s hand.

Mu Zi Yan raised her hand slightly to hold the hairpin in her bun without showing any trace, and when Mu Zi Ruoxi was about to step forward, she smiled lightly and said, “The two younger sisters will wait for their grandmother to enter the palace together, so I’ll take a step first.”

“Big sister, can my younger sister go along with you” Mu Zixi looked at her pitifully and carefully inquired.

Mu Zi Yan looked at her and smiled faintly, “Second sister, I’m afraid I can’t today, the first cousin and second cousin are already waiting outside the mansion, just in time to come and pick me up, so I’ll go with them, the carriage is not spacious, so I won’t be able to take second sister with me.”

After Mu Zi Yan said that, she turned around and led Yun Xiang and Bi Yun away.

Mu Zi Ruoxi stood still, her eyes shot out a cold light, and then she turned around just in time to see Mu Zi Lan’s flash of mockery, she felt more and more aggrieved, so angry that she lifted her steps and walked towards the Long Pine Courtyard.

The maid behind Mu Zi Lan was newly assigned to her by the Old Madame, named Xi’er, and now seeing Mu Zi Ruoxi leave in a huff, she approached Mu Zi Lan’s heel, “Fourth Miss, the second young miss is afraid that she’s gone to seek out the Old Madame to complain.”

“She sues her, I look at mine, no one is in anyone’s way.” Mu Zi Lan didn’t think so, she couldn’t wait for Mu Zi Ruoxi to sue, or let the old madam know who knew better.

Mu Zi Yan raised steps out of the Marquis of Mu, will see Qi Xuan hit the horse fell gracefully, this day he wore an ice blue satin robe, wearing a jade crown inlaid with gemstones, more and more elegant as jade, the God of the rich and handsome.

Mu Zi Yan saw him walk calmly, the corner of his mouth always hanging a shallow smile, until he walked to her front, the voice sounded like spring breeze, “Cousin these few days how are you doing?”

“Very good, cousin,” Mu Zi Yan and Qi Xuan get along easily and comfortably, not only because he is her cousin, but also because, since her rebirth, he is the first person to help without asking for a reason.

Together with the guilt she felt for the State Duke’s House and for him in her previous life, her attitude towards Qi Xuan in this life was more cordial than in her previous life.

Qi Xuan looked at Mu Zi Yan dress up this day, really is a clever smile, beautiful eyes look forward to, the watery eyes flashing with the spirit of the light, revealing Huijie light smile, playful and lovely, but not lose the bright, let a person fall in love at first sight.

Qi Xuan Woods viewed, thinking of a few more days she will be eleven, if another two years will be to the age of maturity, by then if she is willing, he must be eight carries sedan chair, ten miles of red makeup to marry.

Mu Zi Yan see him looking at his own stunned, spare her Nai thick skin, but also can not stand to be looked at like this, not to mention the person in front of you is not a general drop of men, but is just at the age of the spirit of vigor, that the body can be surging is the breath of youth.

Especially Qi Xuan looks is extremely good, this dress, this time into the palace, also do not know can charm how many girls in the lady.

Mu Zi Yan remembered the Qi Xuan in his previous life, alone, until his death, and did not marry, she did not know why he would not marry for life in that life, but in this life, she must not want Qi Xuan to end up alone.

Qi Xuan knew that he had lost his temper and hastily collected his mind, saying in a low voice, “Cousin please.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, “Cousin, is this because you think my outfit is too weird?”

“It’s just that I think it makes people’s eyes light up.” Qi Xuan walked on one side, seeing her flirting with herself, that worry in his heart dropped, and instead, he answered along with her words.

“That’s good, as long as not too flashy is.” Mu Zi Yan think today’s dress is in line with her age, is the time to love beauty, but also can not dress up too enchanting, to not lose the face of the Marquis of Mu is.

Qi Xuan liked Mu Zi Yan’s outfit like this, it was just right to be more mesmerizing.

He thought, if it is another two years, she is afraid that she will fall more and more people can not open their eyes, to that time, coveting her must be countless, then, how he should let her heart close to their own some?

Qi Xuan couldn’t help but be a little bitter, he didn’t want to be the falling flower with no intention of flowing water.

Mu Zi Yan stepped on the wooden pier and got on the carriage, Qi Xue’er and Qi Yu’er hurriedly poked their heads out to help her sit down.

“Eldest cousin, I haven’t seen you for a long time, I miss you.” Qi Yu’er’s nature is already lively, Mu Zi Yan just sat down, then the whole person stuck up.

Mu Zi Yan Qi Yu’er has a gap from the last life, even now show how intimate, but in the heart there is always a layer, so just try to maintain that kindly smile.

“Second cousin sister is dressed in this outfit this day, but on the contrary, she has become more and more watery.” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand and pinched Qi Yu’er’s cheek, laughing and teasing.

“Eldest cousin, you made fun of me.” Qi Yu’er pouted and twisted her head to pretend to be angry.

Mu Zi Yan winked at Qi Xue’er, and Qi Xue’er laughed and spoke, “Look at this, this pout is so pouty that it could be a hook.”

Qi Yu’er snorted coldly, but turned around but leaned back into Mu Zi Yan’s arms, “Eldest cousin, when I enter the palace today, I heard that I will be able to see County Princess Ming’an, and it is rumored that County Princess Lin’an will be there as well.”

“County Lord Lin’an” Mu Zi Yan hesitated for a moment, “How could I not know this news”

“It’s just what I’ve heard, I just don’t know if it will really come.” Qi Xue’er personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mu Zi Yan.

Qi Yu’er hurriedly pinched a piece of soybean jade cake and handed it to her, “Eldest cousin, try it, it’s made by the newly hired cook.”

Mu Zi Yan received with a smile, then ate a mouthful of tea, sweet, smooth and not greasy, she was able to smell a light osmanthus fragrance from the soybean jade cake.

Mu Zi Yan then savored that whole piece of pastry, and then put down the teacup and wiped the corners of her mouth, “The State Duke’s Mansion has a new cook”

“Yes, the original cooks have all been put up for sale.” Qi Xue’er whispered.

“It’s good to change, so it’s not like, you’ll be able to taste the new pastries.” Mu Zi Yan smiled back.

“First cousin is right.” Qi Xue’er responded with a smile along with it.

But Mu Zi Yan heart is thinking of another thing, she did not know Lin An County Lord will arrive, thinking of that day received the box, said to be the next time to meet with Lin An County Lord, take out, just this day she does not bring in the body, now go back to take since it is not.

The three sisters joked and chatted with each other on one side, and in a short while they arrived at the palace gate, Mu Zi Yan got off the carriage, her brother was already waiting for her at the palace gate, and when he saw her coming down, he walked up to her.

“Who’s that,” At that moment, a voice could be heard coming from Qi Yu’er.

Mu Zi Yan followed the sound and turned her eyes to see the carriage behind her down a person, followed by Zhong Yu down the carriage, Zhong Yu, who has not been seen for a long time, seems to have become a little different.

And follow her down naturally is Zhong Xuan, she has twelve, counting the end of this year after maturity, will be able to marry.

She fell out of the pavilion, especially just that a gorgeous face, will be enough to steal the limelight of a lot of big ladies, she wore extremely elegant, but without losing the noble, peony thin water smoke winding floor dragging dress, a pair of flowing clouds purple earrings, especially the pair of water rippling eyes, the corners of the mouth held a shallow smile, at this moment is slowly falling to the ground.

The night breeze blew in her face, her silky hair was only pulled up in a simple bun, inserting a pair of pearl and purple hairpin, pulling the veil and hair moving with the wind, seemingly the peony fairy who descended to the earth.

She is undoubtedly bright and colorful, even so standing, has a kind of innate nobility, such a woman, I am afraid that this heaven and earth can no longer find the second.

Qi Yu’er couldn’t help but marvel at her, and the family members who came down with her also stopped to look at her, only to feel that she was like a pearl at the moment, radiant.

“Tsk tsk, so it’s the second miss of the Zhong family.” A voice that was as mocking as possible rang out, pulling everyone’s thoughts back.

Miss Bell.

The crowd only then carefully pondered up, just now the marveling vivid, at this moment turned into ridicule and indifference, or even more contempt, and then just now also ashamed of themselves, the world’s young ladies, at this moment also straighten their backs, high and proud to enter the palace.

Simply because they would not be jealous of a concubine daughter of the district, which inevitably lowered their status and style.

Zhong Xuan, on the other hand, had been greeted with gazes from all directions since the beginning, maintaining that exclusive smile without a care in the world.

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a cold smile, her eyes crossed a flash of ghostly light, and she turned to look at Mu Lingxuan, “Brother, we’re entering the palace.”

“Good.” Mu Lingxuan to the Zhong family people now does not have half a good feeling, so also to that Zhong Xuan since will not have much interest, see Mu Zi performance is very calm, and do not ask detailed questions, but with her into the palace door.

Qi Xuan and Mu Ling Xuan side by side, Mu Zi Yan and Qi Xue’er, Qi Yu’er followed behind, for the majestic splendor of the palace, Mu Zi Yan does not care, and did not have too much attention, this palace, she has been familiar with can not be familiar with, and even how many pieces of gold bricks on the ground, she can count over.

She looked ahead without slanting her eyes, walking smoothly, without a hint of panic.

Qi Xue’er and Qi Yu’er although it is not the first time to enter the palace, but the heart still has a few points of nervousness, after all, the palace is too majestic, so that they have a kind of awe, and even more is afraid.

Behind the crowd are also all mind, tonight’s palace banquet is arranged in the imperial garden in the storage of the pavilion, at the moment, the imperial garden is needless to say, exotic flowers, hundreds of flowers in full bloom, competing for the color, the mountains and rocks stacked, there is also a large lotus pond in the distance, and in the right side of the storage of the pavilion, there is a long, winding corridor that leads to the storage of the pavilion after the plum orchard.

Today is not the plum blossom season, so the plum garden behind the pavilion is not necessary to see, so the people came and not to appreciate the flowers and grasses of the imperial garden, but to see the people.

The families of the third grade officials, the sons and daughters of the ten great families, and the royal family and nobles were all gathered together, but Mu Zi Yan saw Leng Hanfeng not far away, and he was following the crown prince’s side at the moment, and when she was looking at him, he was also setting his sights on her here.

Mu Zi Yan unhurriedly retracted his sight, and turned around to see that Zhang Yirong, who had just said “So it’s the Zhong family’s second young lady” outside the palace, was currently in the pavilion, her eyes seemingly glancing towards Leng Hanfeng.

Mu Zi Yan recalled that day at the birthday banquet of the State Duke’s residence, Zhang Yirong secretly met with a man, Mu Zi Yan now recalled, probably already understood, she hooked her lips and smiled coldly, turned around and saw Hou Yi Yi and Su Qin Rou walking over.

Su Qinruo and Hou Yi Yi two people are considered to be interested in each other, the same spontaneous and straightforward nature, two people dressed this day is also very imaginative, are smoke clouds outside the gauze skirt, the difference is that Su Qinruo skirt embroidered with plum blossoms, and Hou Yi Yi above the embroidered lotus flowers.

“Sister Mu.” Hou Yi Yi was the first to open her mouth, and when she looked at Mu Zi Yan, she was clearly more than a little bit grateful.

Mu Zi Yan responded with a light smile, “Yiyi sister, is your body feeling better these days”

“Much to sister Mu’s concern, it’s all fine.” Hou Yi Yi smiled to herself and returned.

Su Qinrou looked at Mu Zi Yan, how to see how to feel in front of her seems to be very different from the former Mu Zi Yan, although the same appearance, but this nature, really let her can not adapt.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Qin Rou, “What are you staring at me for? Is there a flower on my face?”

Su Qinruo’s face was slightly red, and she turned her head and coldly snorted, “Who looked at you?”

Mu Zi Yan let out an “Oh”, “So it’s not me you’re looking at, but”

Su Qinrou only then turned her eyes, then saw Mu Zi Yan behind the Mu Ling Xuan and Qi Xuan standing not far away, she jumped up腾地, “Mu Zi Yan, I knew, how can you change this nature than before more arrogant.”

Mu Zi Yan lightly laughed, then shrugged her shoulders and innocently looked at Hou Yi Yi, “What did I say”

Hou Yi Yi saw Su Qin Rou’s furious red face, she knew what was on her mind, so she also laughed along with Mu Zi Yan.

Su Qinruo see Hou Yi Yi actually followed Mu Zi Yan together to make fun of her, this time anxious red eyes, hastily went forward to chase and hit Hou Yi Yi, Hou Yi Yi hastily hid again behind Mu Zi Yan, “Look at it, annoyed and angry.”

Mu Zi Yan opened her arms, since she was protecting Hou Yi Yi behind her, “Which one are you looking at or I’ll go talk and talk and talk”

“Don’t you dare to talk nonsense.” Su Qinrou was instantly blushing with shame, and hurriedly turned around and ran away.

Mu Zi Yan laughed more and more cheerfully, turned to look at Hou Yi Yi, “Who does this girl favor”

“Naturally, it’s the Golden Scholar.” Hou Yi Yi said with a smile.

“Oh, so it’s my gentle cousin.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Qi Xuan, while at this moment Qi Xuan was a bit distracted and would always seemingly look at Mu Zi Yan, seeing her look towards herself, his heart was delighted and he just looked at her and smiled gently.

Mu Zi Yan playfully blinked her eyes before looking at Hou Yi Yi, “This girl’s nature is a match for my cousin.”

“How come Sister Mu wants to be the Red Bride,” Hou Yi Yi suddenly asked with a smile.

“What’s not to like,” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Anyway, this girl is the same age as me, and I remember she’s only a few days behind Xue’er.”

“Yes.” Hou Yi Yi continued, “Counting, sister Mu is only two months older than me.”

“Yi Yi sister can have a favorite” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile, she suddenly remembered that the world, this age of the girl, where to think of such things, but ten years old, even the age of early love is not enough, but also just ignorant, but here, the woman is seven years old, has begun to prepare, until after maturity, can be married, and after two years can also be married. After two more years, you can also get married, if you are not married after sixteen, it is to be laughed at.

Mu Zi Yan can not help but some sighs, compared to this world, she prefers the freedom and equality of that world, at least, women in that world is relatively equal, and here, she looked down at her own undeveloped body, and then look at the distance those young talent, such as the age of the flower, but already thinking about how to find a man of their choice.

Hou Yi Yi saw Mu Zi Yan mention this matter and blushed slightly before muttering, “Sister Mu don’t laugh at me.”

Mu Zi Yan see her eyes dodge, can not help but smile, only that the world of women precocious, in fact, this world’s women are more precocious it, look, ten years old will have been the beginning of love.

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore.” Mu Zi Yan saw Su Qin Rou suddenly ran out of sight, she thought that this day’s palace banquet will surely have a big event, now it’s better not to run around for good, she turned her eyes to Hou Yi Yi, “This girl also don’t know where to run away, I will go with you to look for it.”

When Hou Yi Yi saw Mu Zi Yan say so, she then noticed and raised her eyes to look around and did not see Su Qin Rou’s figure.

Mu Zi Yan and Hou Yi Yi followed Su Qin Rou’s departing figure and chased after her, while Qi Xuan was also keeping an eye on her movements, turning his eyes to look at Mu Ling Xuan, “I’ll go and take a look, it seems like something has happened.”

When Mu Lingxuan saw him say this, he turned his eyes and also saw Mu Ziyan walking towards the lotus pond, he nodded slightly, “You go and take a look.”

“En.” Qi Xuan answered, and then raised his steps to follow.

Mu Zi Yan walked halfway, nowadays most of the people are in the garden, and the front of the lotus pond by the natural very few people, she suddenly stopped her footsteps to.

Hou Yi Yi followed by her side, also felt that this place is a bit weird, turned her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan face condensation, she spoke in a low voice, “Sister Mu, still want to continue to walk?”

“I see something wrong.” Mu Zi Yan was already cautious and did not go forward, but just stood in place to observe the movement.

And at that moment, footsteps came from behind her, and she turned alertly, and when she saw the visitor, she whispered, “Cousin.”

“How did you get here,” Qi Xuan said as he looked at her.
