Chapter 124 – Auntie’s Coming (2 / 2)

“Marquis Mu gave birth to a good daughter ah.” The emperor smiled brightly, although Mu Zi Yan so say, but the emperor since can not not reward, Mu Zi Yan receive reward after thanking the grace, then left the palace.

After Mu Zi Yan left, the empress dowager saw the emperor’s face gloomy, she then got up, “Your Majesty, the empress is not there, Princess Hui also went, now the harem is indeed short of a master of ceremonies, the family can only be the country safe ah.”

After the Empress Dowager said meaningfully, she got up and moved back to the Palace of Eternal Life.

The emperor sends the empress dowager to leave, turns to look at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, raises his eyes to Consort Yun and Consort Rong, as well as Jun Yuluo, “Consort Rong’s discipline is lax, grounded for three months, it seems that Yun’er is unable to be in charge of the harem, so that Consort Liu will work together to assist in the management of it.”

After the emperor said that, he turned around and entered the bedchamber, seeing Yi Concubine’s face full of tears, he sighed quietly, always owed her something, then sat down and said softly, “It’s me who was negligent.”

“Your Majesty.” When concubine Yi saw the emperor say so, she knew that she still hoped, she held the emperor’s hand with both hands and cried more and more.

Concubine Yun turned her eyes to Concubine Rong, “Sister, my sister still has things to do, so she will leave first.”

“Sister go and busy yourself.” Concubine Rong smiled faintly, turning her eyes to Jun Yuluo, who was filled with anger, and holding her hand, she also went out of the Liuyun Palace.

“Mother Consort, what is Father’s intention here” Jun Yu Luo raised her eyes to look at Consort Rong, why is she punishing Mother Consort.

Consort Rong smiled lightly and said, “Can’t you see that the Emperor is knocking down those restless landlords in the harem which also includes me.”

“Mother Consort, Father is too heartless.” Jun Yu Luo couldn’t help but complain.

“Silly child.” Princess Rong held Jun Yu Luo’s hand as she slowly walked forward.

Mu Zi Yan went back to the Marquis Mu Mansion, and Qi was relieved to see that she came back unharmed and with a lot of rewards.

“You child, you can’t be so reckless in the future, this harem is not something you can get involved in” Qi looked at Mu Zi Yan and reprimanded in a deep voice.

“Mother, daughter took note.” Mu Zi Yan obediently responded, “Mother, daughter is hungry.”

“Ai, it’s good that you’re fine.” Qi looks at Mu Zi Yan with heartache, and then asks Sister Cui to hurry to prepare the food.

After Mu Zi Yan had lunch at Qi’s place, Qi spoke up and said, “Your aunt is coming in a couple days.”

“Auntie,” Mu Zi Yan slightly froze, really did not think of it.

“It’s your grandfather’s sister, who was married to the Pingxi County King back then, this time your third uncle got married and married another princess, after your aunt learned about it, she sent a letter to come over.” Qi looked at Mu Zi Yan and said.

“Pingxi County King” Mu Zi Yan seemed to have thought of something, “is that Pingxi County King who died in battle”

“Not bad.” Qi whispered, “This aunt of yours is also a bitter fate, her son and daughter-in-law are gone, and now only her grandchildren are left, that is, your cousin and cousin.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan, however, knew that it was really not simple for this aunt to come.

“Daughter do not understand, aunt since married out, rarely come back, more than ten years has not returned to the capital, how come this time but to come over it” Mu Zi Yan asked in puzzlement.

“Perhaps it is because your cousin has just inherited the county king, and your cousin is past marriageable age and has yet to get married, so this time I came to take advantage of the opportunity to find a good marriage for your cousin.” Qi whispered.

“Rather.”

Mu Zi Yan carefully think of the previous life of the Pingxi County King can be very ridiculous, good sex, uneducated, only, after the defeat of the big house, this aunt since she completely cut off the relationship, she is not going to care about these, but this life, on the contrary, let her feel strange, the aunt to come is really not simple.

Mu Zi Yan went back to the smoke fall courtyard, only feel that although the harem is luxurious, but it is like a cage, stay there will make her breathless, or their own courtyard is good, quiet and elegant, she comfortably lying on the soft couch.

Yunxiang got news from the border and hurriedly entered, “Eldest Miss, there is news from the border.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Tell me.”

“The Northern Qing Kingdom strongly attacked Jiao Men Town the day before yesterday and fought head on with the Fifth Prince.” Yun Xiang looked at Mu Zi Yan and said.

“This border news will take two days at the earliest to arrive, now since the Northern Qing Dynasty has made a move, then the border is afraid that it will not be too peaceful, and wait for the news.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, instead, some do not care too much, she vaguely feel that Jun Qian Yu in his previous life must not be so easy to die, not if we wait and see what happens.

After a while, will hear Bi Yun came to report, Su Qin Rou over, yesterday she went back to the Su Marquis will be worried about the night, this day heard that she was safe and sound out of the palace, which hangs the heart to let go, and then rushed over.

To enter the house, she was seen lying comfortably on the soft couch reading a book, which now can let Su Qinru stay, only think how she got to such a point can still be so relaxed and at ease it

Mu Zi Yan put down her scroll and raised her eyes to see Su Qin Rou was staring blankly at her, she smiled and opened her lips, “What are you looking at me for”

“Sister Mu, this murderer,” Su Qinruo immediately reacted, went up to Mu Zi Yan’s heel and sat down and asked.

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Just point it out.”

“I know.” Su Qinruo responded with seeming understanding.

“Some things can’t be done too full, if it’s too full, it will backfire.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Su Qin Rou, “The Sixth Princess won’t stop, but after this, in a short period of time she won’t come out and jump around, as for the Cloud Concubine’s place, nowadays she also can’t take care of herself.”

“En.” Su Qinruo held Mu Ziyan’s hand, “Sister Mu, thank you.”

“You’re the one my brother loves, I can’t let anything happen to you since.” Mu Zi Yan joked.

Su Qin Rou’s face was even more blushing this time, “Sister Mu, can’t you stop poking fun at me”

“Last night I heard that my brother was in a heroic rescue ah.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her enviously, “Was he too happy to sleep last night”

“Sister Mu.” Su Qin Rou looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Last night’s child I was worried to death, you flirted with me instead.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “There have been quite a lot of things going on lately, but seeing that you and brother are very good, it’s a comfort to me.”

“Sister Mu, you can actually tell me.” Su Qinrou said as she looked at her solemnly.

“Tell you what,” Mu Zi Yan blinked her eyes, “This Mu Houfu matter, after you enter the door you won’t need me to tell you, you will be clear.”

“Sister Mu, you’re doing this again.” Su Qinrou beamed in dissatisfaction.

“Haha.” Mu Zi Yan at this moment but smiled brightly, which in turn made Su Qin Rou even more embarrassed.

The two of them chatted for a while before Su Qinruo reluctantly left.

“Eldest Miss, Second Miss Zhang has not appeared since she entered Marquis Zhong’s residence.” Yunxiang said as she carried the refreshments and placed them aside.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly and responded, “Just keep an eye on it.”

Since the concubine slipped after, the emperor rested for five days in a row in the concubine that, apparently, the concubine not only did not lose the holy favor because of the slip, but more favored, this is to let the cloud consort fidgety up.

Mu Zi Yan these days to get quite comfortable, the border war is tight, but Mu Zi Yan is not as worried as before, but waiting for the results.

Su Qinruo these days will come every day, Qi see her and Mu Ziyan so close, but also more and more like, will also call her to come, say some personal words, Su Qinruo gradually also Qi as a relative.

On this day, Mu Zi Yan had just gotten up when she heard quite a bit of commotion coming from outside, Yun Xiang entered, “Eldest Miss, it’s the old lady from Ping Xi County coming.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “Go take a look.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang answered, and after some makeup, Mu Zi Yan went out of the Smokefall Courtyard.

Qi’s self went forward to greet, after all, this aunt was also a powerful when she was young, so many years have passed, I’m afraid that her temper hasn’t changed at all, I heard that it’s even more so in the Pingxi County King’s Mansion.

When Mu Zi Yan traveled to the main hall, the old madam had already arrived and was talking happily with this aunt of hers, she then went forward and then respectfully bowed, “Zi Yan has met aunt.”

“This is the smoke girl ah.” Pingxi County old lady saw from afar Mu Zi Yan, see her young age, very calm, rules and etiquette is also complete, her eyes flashed a flash of light, and then asked amiably.

“Auntie, exactly.” Mu Zi Yan answered in a low voice.

“Lovely looking.” Old Lady Pingxi County said with a smile, then reached out and then held her hand, looking up and down.

Mu Zi Yan did not have the slightest shyness, frankly let her survey, then heard a gentle voice from the side, “Grandmother, Zi Yan cousin looks really beautiful.”

“This is your cousin.” Old Lady Pingxi County turned her eyes to Zhu Yue, who was waiting at the side, and said in a low voice.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to Zhu Yue, the two of them met, Zhu Yue then looked at her with a smile, “Earlier I heard about cousin’s matter, it’s really better to hear than to see.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Cousin has traveled a long way and is tired from the boat, it is better to go and rest earlier.”

“That’s true.” The teenager on the side walked over, staring at Mu Zi Yan with an extraordinarily bright smile, those eyes seeming to nail onto her body.

Old Lady Pingxi County’s eyes sank, and she said in a low voice, “I haven’t seen your cousin Ziyan yet.”

“This is my heavenly fairy-like cousin.” King of Pingxi County Zhu Cong said with a smile.

How could Mu Zi Yan not see the thieving light that flashed in his eyes, she responded without moving, “Zi Yan has met cousin.”

“Well, your aunt just came back, she must be tired, I prepared the courtyard early in the morning, and go take a rest.” The old madam saw that Zhu Cong’s pair of eyes had been staring at Mu Zi Yan, and a flash of calculation flashed through her heart.

When Mu Zi Yan returned to the Smoke Drop Courtyard, her eyes sank slightly, and she took off the outer covering that was on her body, “Burn it.”

“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered in a low voice.

After Mu Zi Yan purified her hands, she leaned back on the soft couch, then she heard a loud noise coming from outside.

“Eldest Miss, it’s Cousin Zhu.” Bi Yun came forward and reported.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan frowned slightly, this had only just returned, and she was so pressed.

She changed her clothes again, and when she went out of the inner room, she saw Zhu Yue come with Zhu Cong, his eyes moved slightly, then he smiled and went forward, “Cousin Zhu, Cousin Zhu.”

“Cousin, but it’s a nuisance.” Zhu Yue said as he stepped forward and held Mu Zi Yan’s hand affectionately.

When Mu Zi Yan saw this behavior of hers, she raised her eyes and smiled lightly, “Cousin Zhu this is”

“Cousin don’t misunderstand, I came because I just returned to the capital, quite curious about the capital, thinking that cousin can be free, lead me around the capital” Zhu Yue said with a smile.

“I’m afraid it won’t work today, why don’t we do it tomorrow.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to Zhu Yue and said.

“Then it’s a deal.” Zhu Yue was overjoyed to see Mu Zi Yan agree.

Zhu Cong’s eyes were always looking at Mu Zi Yan, “Cousin, why don’t you bring me along tomorrow?”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Zhu Cong, “As it happens, tomorrow’s brother is off from work, cousin Zhang and cousin will also come over, why don’t we join together.”

“So very good.” Wish gravel hear since is delighted, after all, he just entered the capital, life is not familiar, want to stay in the capital for a long time, must be to make friends with the children of the family.

When Zhu Cong and Zhu Yue left, Mu Zi Yan turned around and purified her hands, then looked at Yun Xiang, “You send a letter to Zhang Shi Zi and Qi Shi Zi, just say that you’ll come over to the mansion tomorrow for a gathering.”

“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered with her head hanging down.

Mu Zi Yan turned around and entered the inner room, plotting how to teach Zhu Cong a lesson tomorrow.

At this moment, Zhu Cong is thinking about Mu Zi Yan, Zhu Yue since he can see his mind, coldly laughed, “Brother, this Mu family’s eldest miss is not something you can covet, even the Fifth Prince has hit the wall one after another with her, you’d better dispel this idea while you still can.”

“My fair lady, gentleman’s son, so what about the fifth prince, 80% is an unintelligent one.” Zhu Gravel turned his eyes to Zhu Yue, “You think I don’t know what you’re playing at.”

Zhu Yue’s mouth turned away, “You and I each take what we need, all the more reason to help each other.”

“Well, I’m bound and determined to win the eldest Miss Mu family.” Zhu Cong said confidently.

The two siblings had since reached an agreement and went back to the courtyard together.

Old Lady Pingxi County raised her eyes to look at the furnishings in front of her, her brows furrowed, “What’s all this, it’s all been replaced.”

“Yes.” The Sister following behind her answered, and then ordered the people to carry the things out and go forward to find the old madam.

“Grandmother.” Zhu Cong and Zhu Yue came forward and bowed respectfully.

“Coming.” Old Lady Pingxi County raised her eyes to look at the grandchildren in front of her, and her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “Can you promise”

“Grandmother you don’t worry, but let her take her granddaughter out to have fun, where she did not agree, not only that, she will also tomorrow the Zhang Shizi and Qi Shizi also called together, visible ah, she is still very important to grandmother you.” Zhu Yue said with a smile.

Old Lady Pingxi County laughed lowly and said, “That’s, thinking about those years hey, don’t mention it.”

Zhu Cong looked at Old Lady Pingxi County and said in a low voice, “Grandmother, grandson wants to marry Cousin Ziyan.”

“This child of yours, is really want to marry” Old Lady Pingxi County asked.

“En.” Zhu Cong said in a low voice, “Cousin Zi Yan looks good, plus she is the granddaughter of the Duke of State’s residence, and now has the title of Goddess, if she marries her, it would be a hundred benefits and no harm.”

“That girl look is good, but ah, you can think clearly, if really married, you will be ready, she is not a soft persimmon.” Pingxi County old lady to her grandson is extremely doting, more importantly, she looked at Mu Zi Yan is also another plan, since the grandson is willing, she has not to fulfill the!

“Grandmother, are you going to help your grandson,” Zhu Cong raised his eyes to look at Old Lady Pingxi County.

“As long as the grandson wants, I will give it to you since.” Old Lady Pingxi County said, “It’s not just a maid, as long as she becomes your person, what she has in the future won’t all be yours.”

“Still grandmother loves grandchildren the most.” Upon hearing this, Zhu Cong instantly burst into smiles and hurriedly went forward to give Old Lady Pingxi County a back-pounding and leg-squeezing.

Zhu Yue saw Zhu Cong so, the corner of his mouth, also followed half squatting down gently pinch, “Grandmother, you say that granddaughter into the palace matter have hope”

“If your brother marries the Mu family’s girl, with her relationship with the Zhang family, the Qi family, as well as the Su family and the Hou family, your entry into the palace will be a matter of course.” Old Lady Pingxi County said, “Yue’er ah, don’t worry, grandmother will definitely let you get what you want.”

“Grandmother.” Zhu Yue was moved to look at Old Lady Pingxi County, her eyes overflowing with tears.

Old Lady Pingxi County’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of her mouth hooked up with a wry cold light.

The next day, Mu Zi Yan had just woken up when she heard movement coming from outside, Zhu Cong and Zhu Yue had already come.

“Eldest Miss, this Zhu Table Young Master and Miss Table are also too” Bi Yun really did not know how to speak.

Mu Zi Yan sneered, “There’s no harm, there’s no rush.”

“Yes.” The two of them, Yunxiang and Bi Yun, then also served Mu Zi Yan to wash and dress unhurriedly.

And the head of the house, Zhu Yue and Zhu Cong brother and sister sitting in the hall, see the inside in and out for a while, Zhu Yue has never waited for anyone, but now see Mu Zi Yan in front of her is set up a frame, and then fell face, not the slightest idea that now she is a guest, not from the County King’s House.

Zhu Congzhi did not care much, only think that a daughter should dress up when she goes out, there is no harm to wait a while.

Zhu Yue raised his eyes to see Zhu Cong smiled with a bright face, her eyes flashed a flash of cold light, raised his eyes to measure up the Mu Zi Yan house head of the furnishings, and then saw not far away placed a Ruyi multi-precious bottles, she then got up and walked up, raised his hand to pick up to play.

At this time, Mu Zi Yan has just come out, see her just picked up, to see Mu Zi Yan out, will be such as will be the bottle of many treasures back, hand a loose, only to hear the “bang” sound, that the bottle of many treasures will fall to the ground, and then shattered.

Zhu Yue retreated backward with a surprised face, raising his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, guilty, “Cousin, I I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed through a flash of ghostly light, slowly walked up, brought the line to Zhu Yue’s front, stared down at the multi-precious bottle, “Yunxiang, put this bottle away, make a note when making the book, this object is Cousin Zhu’s accidental missteps to break it.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang answered with her head hanging down, then bending down, she carefully packed it up, and then she retreated out.

“Cousin, what do you mean by this” Zhu Yue did not expect Mu Zi Yan to prepare the record, her eyes were slightly cold and she asked in disbelief.

“Cousin Zhu doesn’t know, this was just rewarded by the Emperor a few days ago.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and said unhurriedly.
