Chapter 166: Ominous Signs (A Must-See) (1 / 2)

Waiting to enter the concubine Yi’s bedchamber, the two of them then took their seats, concubine Yi looked at Mu Zi Yan’s eyes since the goodness.

“Yesterday the Emperor came to this palace’s place and specifically mentioned Miss Mu.” Concubine Yi didn’t beat around the bush either, but spoke bluntly.

“What does the Emperor intend,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“It is only that the position of the Crown Princess is vacant, and among the young ladies of the lineage nowadays, it is only Miss Mu, who is a woman with an orchid heart, who can enter the Eastern Palace.” Concubine Yi whispered.

“His Majesty’s words are to bestow marriage” Mu Zi Yan couldn’t help but ask.

“There is this meaning.” Concubine Yi looked at her and said, “Miss Mu must make early preparations.”

“Many thanks for your mention, Your Highness.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at concubine Yi.

“Since this is the case, it is better for Miss Mu to leave the palace early and prepare to enter the palace tonight.” The two of them smiled at each other since they were looking at each other, Yi Concubine said faintly.

“Your servant daughter excuses herself.” Mu Zi Yan got up and bowed respectfully, then she left Concubine Yi’s chambers.

When she was out of the palace, Mu Zi Yan went straight back to the Mu Hou Mansion.

Just into the smoke fall courtyard, will see Mu Zi Jing has been waiting for her outside the courtyard, but it is a long time no see, she remembered some time ago in Cui Houfu see Mu Zi Jing, and this day is a little different.

“Big sister.” Mu Zi Jing well out of sight went forward and called out intimately.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and faintly responded, “Third sister this is”

“Big sister back to the house, sister is to come to visit, just yesterday saw big sister this place is too lively, sister will not dare to disturb sister, this day only come over, big sister don’t blame sister.” Mu Zi Jing smiled and said in one breath.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “How could I blame third sister”

“Sister knows that big sister still loves sister.” Mu Zi Jing’s brows were tinted with a smile as she looked at Mu Zi Yan with great affection.

Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, only feeling that this smile was a bit bizarre, and said in a low voice, “Third sister has something to do.”

“Just came over to take a look at big sister, if big sister has something to do, younger sister won’t bother.” Mu Zi Jing said and slightly blessed herself, then turned to leave.

Yunxiang and Bi Yun, who were following Mu Zi Yan, exchanged a glance, and then returned to the Smoke Drop Courtyard along with Mu Zi Yan.

“Eldest Miss, this third young miss’ disposition has changed quite a bit.” Bi Yun whispered.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “Just have Xiao Cui keep an eye on it.”

“Yes.” Bi Yun answered with her head hanging down.

“Eldest Miss, nowadays it is rumored within the capital that the Emperor is going to give you a marriage.” Yunxiang whispered.

“Oh,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “how did this news come out”

“I heard it was from the palace.” Yunxiang continued, “The Crown Prince’s place has made some special preparations this day.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “It seems that this day must be lively.”

“Eldest Miss, there is no news from Duke Chu’s place yet.” Yunxiang whispered back, “However, news has come from Bai Xuan’s place that Lei Shi Zi has returned to the capital.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan into the inner room, change the clothes on the body, change a new set, then turn around and go out of the smoke fall courtyard, then went to the Jiyue courtyard.

“Eldest Miss, are you going to the old madam’s place to ask for peace,” Yun Xiang asked softly from the side.

“To go.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked ahead, “I’m not that son of a bitch who doesn’t know the rules.”

She smiled lightly and then went to the Jiyue Courtyard.

Mu Qinyuan knew that she had returned to the house and was now waiting for her.

Seeing her enter the room, there were a few more points of soft light between her eyebrows, “The Empress Dowager may have said something.”

“Daughter greets father.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and blessed herself.

“En.” Seeing her like this, Mu Qingyuan smiled lightly in relief.

Qi’s hugged Mu Ling Jue and sat down, looking at Mu Zi Yan since she was overflowing with favor.

Mu Zi Yan then said, “Father, mother, the Empress Dowager didn’t say anything, but she just sought out her daughter to ask about some family matters.”

“However, have you heard the rumors within the capital city” Mu Qingyuan’s brows knit tightly as he looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked.

“It will also have to wait until after we enter the palace this night.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“In that case, you can have any plans” Mu Qingyuan did not make their own decisions, but instead asked Mu Ziyan’s opinion, in this world, has always been the parents’ orders, and never seen any father to consult his daughter’s opinion, therefore, Mu Ziyan can have such a parent since it is fortunate to swear that she and how not to cherish, and not to properly protect it!

Mu Zi Yan whispered back, “There is no intention, the emperor gives marriage, but also to the empress dowager’s approval is, daughter this day into the palace, look at the empress dowager’s look, but will not be promised.”

“Oh.” Seeing Mu Ziyan say this, Mu Qingyuan was much relieved, “In that case, let them speculate wildly.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan obediently responded.

“Let’s go.” Mu Qingyuan said as he looked at Mu Ziyan, then he got up and led Qi to go to the Long Pine Courtyard with Mu Ziyan.

When she entered the Long Pine Courtyard, she saw that the old madam was already seated on the main seat, her eyes slightly sunken, and when she saw Mu Qingyuan, she said in a low voice, “Marquis returning to the house is a happy event.”

“Old madam.” Although Mu Qinyuan was quite dissatisfied with the old madam, he could only honor her with the title of old madam, only because of his father’s instructions when he left.

Qi and Mu Zi Yan bowed respectfully since, “Daughter-in-law greets old madam”

“Granddaughter greets old madam,” Mu Zi Yan whispered.

“They are all here today.” The old madam smiled faintly, “It’s rarely lively.”

This sounded cheerful, but to Mu Zi Yan it clearly sounded like mockery.

Mu Qingyuan didn’t say much, but after exchanging a few pleasantries with the old madam, he took Qi and Mu Ziyan and left the Long Pine Courtyard.

Qi’s face was not good when she went back, and when she arrived at the Jiyue courtyard, raised her eyes to look at Mu Qingyuan, but also a few more points of anger.

Mu Qing Yuan sighed helplessly, stepping forward to hold Mu Ling Jue from her arms, “I know you’re pissed off, but it’ll have to wait a little longer.”

Mu Zi Yan remembered what her grandfather had left behind, she looked at Mu Qing Yuan and ultimately did not tell him.

Mu Zi Yan in the Jiyue courtyard accompanied Mu Qingyuan and Qi’s chat a few words, which returned to the smoke fall courtyard, ready to enter the palace line on the head.

Yunxiang waited for her to dress on one side and said, “Eldest Miss, Cui side consort is expecting.”

“It’s rather a happy event.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly.

“Yes, but it can’t enter the palace.” Yunxiang said in a low voice, “Zhong side consort has since entered the palace along with the third prince and the third prince consort.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “I’m afraid that Cui Side Consort this heart is also not a taste.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang continued, “But I’m worried about moving the fetus, so I can’t be angry.”

“The Third Prince is rejoicing since.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Strange is strange in this place.” Yunxiang whispered, “After the third prince knew, but also went to see the Cui side consort, and then relieved a few words, although joy, but look is not much joy.”

“He’s been a bit strange these past few days.” Mu Zi Yan only felt that Jun Qian Hao had become a bit strange ever since he returned from Marquis Cui’s residence that day.

“Exactly.” Rueyang answered in a low voice.

“Let’s talk about it when we enter the palace.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Where is Young Grandma Cui”

“There is not much movement, I heard that I was sick yesterday.” Yunxiang continued, “Hidden one sent someone to see, indeed sick, also don’t know if this night can enter the palace.”

“Sick at this time” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, suddenly remembered the cloud consort’s instructions today, could there be something involved here

“Yes, I heard that it is very sick.” Yunxiang inserted the last orchid jade hairpin and returned with her head hanging down.

“Rather odd.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “Where is Qing Heng?”

“He is still in Full Painting House today.” Seeing Mu Zi Yan ask this question, Yun Xiang then whispered back.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyebrows responded, “It seems that something big will definitely happen in the palace tonight.”

“Eldest Miss, today is the New Year’s Eve, if we make any noise in the palace, won’t we offend the dragon’s face” Yun Xiang spoke in disbelief.

“We will know when we enter the palace.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Yes.” Yunxiang hung her head and answered, and when everything was ready, Mu Zi Yan went out of the Smokefall Courtyard.

MuZiJing this night to wear is festive, a brocade red dress, covered with smoke yarn pasted, draped in red and white sable cloak, forehead scars since the heavy bangs cover, between the eyebrows are smiling, now look is more than a few points of the playful and lovely.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, she really didn’t have the heart to deal with her, so she said, “Third sister, I won’t be entering the palace with third sister this day.”

“Sister just came over to see if big sister is ready, since big sister is not convenient, then sister will enter the palace with grandmother.” Mu Zi Jing seems to anticipate that Mu Zi Yan will refuse, so already thought of a good speech, unlike before that kind of annoyed, but instead is obediently responded.

Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, and after Mu Zi Jing left, she lifted her steps and went to the Jiyue Courtyard.

Mu Qingyuan and Qi were already ready, and when they saw Mu Ziyan coming, they smiled and spoke, “Let’s go.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered, then along with Mu Zi Yan and Qi went out of the mansion together, Mu Qing Yuan rode a horse since, while Mu Zi Yan rode in the same carriage with Qi.

Mu Zi Jing helped the old lady to come out together and got into the carriage since.

Mu Ling Chao also entered the palace along with the old lady, while Mu Ling Xuan rode with Mu Qing Yuan to take the lead, and the group then entered the palace with great vigor.

Waiting for the palace door, since according to rank, in order to enter the palace, Mu Zi Yan is accompanied by Qi’s body, for fear of a lapse.

Seeing her this nervous, Qi smiled lightly and said, “You, go seek them out.”

“Daughter will go again when Mother is seated.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“Good.” Qi nodded slightly and personally hugged Mu Ling Jue.

Since Qi gave birth to Mu Ling Jue, in addition to last night’s Mu Zi Yan carried to the night, never left Qi’s side, one can imagine, Qi’s to Mu Ling Jue is how nervous love.

When Qi was seated, Mu Ziyan greeted the other ladies of the family and then went to Su Qinru’s place.

The ladies greeted each other in turn, and then took their seats, which was quite lively.

Su Qinrou came forward, “Sister Mu, this can be rumored all over the capital.”

“I know.” Mu Zi Yan nodded in response.

“If the emperor really gives the marriage” Su Qinrou looked at her and asked worriedly.

“Forget what I said yesterday,” Mu Zi Yan winked at Su Qin Rou.

“En.” Su Qinrou smiled and nodded, so she didn’t say any more.

Hou Yi Yi looked at the duo and whispered, “Becoming a family soon, it’s really different.”

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at her, “You girl, how can you speak sourly this day”

“Sister Mu only talks to her in a physical way nowadays, but she has left me out in the cold.” Hou Yi Yi beamed.

Mu Zi Yan smiled helplessly, “Then I’ll talk to you in a personal way.”

“Forget it.” Hou Yi Yi stared at the pastries on the table, seemingly remembering that the pastries had gone wrong during the last palace banquet, so she didn’t dare to move.

Mu Zi Yan smiled and picked it up while taking a light bite, then took another piece and handed it to her, “It doesn’t matter.”

“En.” Hou Yi Yi saw Mu Zi Yan personally handing her the pastries, and only then did she force a smile.

Qi Xue’er looked at Hou Yi Yi that way and then said, “First cousin, I heard that Young Granny Cui is sick.”

“Since I’m sick, I don’t think I’ll come tonight.” Su Qinruo then returned.

“Not really, look, here it comes.” Hou Yi Yi looked at the Blue Xiner walking not far away and came over.

At this moment, the gazes of the crowd also fell on Lan Xin’er, seeing that she was wearing a long light blue dress, her hair pulled back in a high bun, and her complexion was haggard, but she maintained her usual coldness and arrogance.

“Rather, you can come hard.” The corner of Qi Xue’er’s mouth turned away, and then she looked at Cui Shizi beside her, “Cui Shizi’s piggy face is gone.”

“When did you learn to snicker as well” Mu Zi Yan tilted her head and looked at Qi Xue’er with a smile.

Qi Xue’er smiled lightly and said, “Eldest cousin, side consort Zhong is over there.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan saw early in the morning that Zhong Xuan was sitting behind Jun Qian Hao.

Zhong Xuan also saw Mu Zi Yan at this moment, her eyes flashed with a coldness, and the corners of her mouth hooked into an evil smile.

Mu Zi Yan narrowed her eyes, this kind of eye light was too weird, it seemed to be harboring a major conspiracy, and it was also aimed at her.

“How come I feel that her smile is scary” Su Qinru had seen it since and couldn’t help but shiver a little.

Mu Zi Yan faintly opened her lips, “Tonight must not be simple.”

“Can’t you just settle down.” Hou Yi Yi muttered in dissatisfaction.

Seeing her like this, Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Yes, I saw that Eldest Prince Zhang was looking at you the whole time.”

Hou Yi Yi looked over right away, right into the eyes of Zhang Metatarsal looking over, this time, but the blush of shame, hastily turned her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, whispered, “Sister Mu came to poke fun at me again.”

“Is Sister Mu’s jabs still few and far between,” Su Qinrou said in an unimpressed voice.

“Yeah.” Qi Xue’er chimed in.

However, Mu Zi Yan found a strange thing, because Jun Qian Hao’s eyes always seem to fall on her body, her eyes slightly converged, but she did not know what exactly is stored here in the calculation!

Chapter Staffer had since also noticed the difference in Jun Qianhao and turned his eyes to look at Qi Xuan, “What is Third Prince doing staring at Cousin Ziyan all the time”

“I don’t know.” Qi Xuan couldn’t help but frown slightly as he looked at him and said, “I always feel something strange.”

“Hmm.” The chapter nodded in response, “Looks like we need to be more careful.”

“Could it be that you have a crush on your sister,” Mu Lingxuan said coldly from the sidelines.

“Cousin, even if she’s good, it’s impossible for her to be loved by everyone, what’s more, how could it be possible when the Third Prince has Zhong Xuan on his side and is itching to kill cousin” Qi Xuan was the first to deny it.

“Yes.” Chapter Staffer also felt that this was not Jun Qianhao’s nature.

Mu Lingxuan shook his head, “But it’s inevitable that Jun Qianhao has been a bit eccentric during this time, don’t you think it’s strange”

“That’s true.” When the chapter was clearly in a state of shock, he saw Zhang Zong come over to him.

“I think what Mu Shizi said is not unreasonable.” Zhang Zong concurred.

“If that’s the case, that’s troublesome.” The Chapter Staffer’s brows knitted together and he said in a cold voice.

“Well, do not speculate wildly, now do not know what the situation is it” Qi Xuan continued, “I instead feel that this Zhong side consort some strange.”

“Yes.” Zhang Zong continued, “She seems to be plotting something.”

“Anyway, these two conspired together, it must not be good.” Mu Lingxuan coldly snorted before saying, “It’s better to be careful.”

“Right.” A few people nodded, being a little more careful since.

Niangzi Lu frowned slightly as she looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Yan’er ah, you have to be more careful.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

“A Zhong side consort, a Cui young granny, and a Rong consort.” Su Qinrou said from the side.

“There’s also the Third Prince and the Crown Prince.” Hou Yi Yi continued, “How come this Third Prince’s eyes keep looking towards Sister Mu?”

“If this continues, I’m afraid that anyone will see it.” Qi Xue’er muttered in dissatisfaction.

“Where is this coming to celebrate the New Year’s Eve, it’s simply coming to torture people.” Qi Yu’er muttered with a beak.

Mu Zi Yan saw them discussing, and smiled lowly, “This night will definitely be lively, and no matter what they are going to do, I can only watch from the sidelines.”

“Sister Mu, you are truly composed.” Su Qinrou sighed.

Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and picked up the cup, lightly sipped, “Good rainy day dragon well, don’t taste it”

“At this time of the year, there are still rainy dragon wells,” Hou Yi Yi then also tasted it carefully.

When the crowd saw Mu Zi Yan’s relaxed demeanor, this tension gradually relaxed.

Qi Xuan and the others who were watching from afar also smiled at this moment since they were looking at each other, “See, she is leisurely.”

“Yes.” Mu Lingxuan smiled warmly, “In that case, this New Year’s Eve is meant to be lively and festive, so why should you and I keep a taut face”

“That’s true.” Several people then laughed in return, raising their glasses and drinking a glass to themselves.

Mrs. Marquis Su looked at Mu Zi Yan, who was not far away, and then looked at Qi, “Sister, Rou’er didn’t mention Smoke Maiden in front of me very often, praising her like there was nothing in heaven or on earth.”

Qi laughed lowly and said, “The two of them are of similar age, and since they are compatible, they are also closer.”

“Yes.” Mrs. Marquis Su looked down at Mu Ling Jue in Qi’s arms, “See, the young master is also a hobbyist.”

Qi saw that Mu Ling Jue was smiling at her, and her heart softened, and with a loving smile between her eyes, she whispered, “Sister wants to add another one.”

“Ai, I’m afraid I won’t be able to.” Mrs. Marquis Su sighed, “Nowadays, I don’t have the heart for it either.”
