I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law

Long since the Spring Festival, Mu Mingtang had some dark thoughts, and he paid special attention to the movement next door. But for several days, it was calm.

The spy's affairs were naturally firmly suppressed, and no matter what the outcome of the trial was, only the Ministry of War and the emperor knew. The people are still immersed in the festival carnival, Shangyuan has been for five consecutive days, the lights are bright, and all the sky is happy.

King Jin's Mansion, which was so much in the limelight on the Shangyuan Festival, is now too quiet. Mu Mingtang didn't see the play, and said that it was a fake not to be disappointed, but after thinking about it, the emperor wanted to face him and it was impossible to publicly reprimand his son and daughter-in-law. After all, the emperor and the harem family were suspicious about the glorious offering of lanterns in Shangyuan, and they hid in a remote palace embarrassedly, so that they mistakenly presented the lanterns... it spread out, even if it was instigated by the Jin prince, the emperor's face was not pretty.

Therefore, the emperor did not say anything about Jiang Mingwei. Xie Xuanchen and the Guards really caught the spy. Jiang Mingwei said that she overheard the spy plotting to set fire in the palace, and it made sense. As for whether the emperor believes it or not, it is a matter of opinion.

Mu Mingtang didn't see the excitement, he was a little regretful, but not so disappointed. You can't just look at the present in everything. For a king who loves face, what could be more taboo than letting him lose face?

The emperor is now looking at his troops, and he does not hold him accountable. On the contrary, he is worse than blaming him. I'm not afraid of the emperor being angry, but the emperor's grudge in his heart. If it was just punishment, the Queen and King Jin would be a big deal this time and they would lose face. If the emperor remembered it, or even lowered his emotional evaluation of King Jin, then some of them would wear small shoes.

Jiang Mingwei probably also knew that she was self-defeating. After returning home on the first Yuan Festival, she said she was ill. I heard that even the housekeeper is not reasonable. Xie Xuanji also studied and practiced at home, and no longer went to a banquet like the previous day. Even the queen is now in the palace, very low-key.

Mu Mingtang also listened to the little maid saying that Aunt Lian, who had been banned on the first day of the new year, had jumped up again these days after half a month of peace. Jiang Mingwei stabbed Xie Xuanji with such a big basket, and now she is very low-pitched in front of the empress and Xie Xuanji, and she has no tracheal concubines at all. The Jin Dynasty is now full of eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, and it is extremely lively.

However, no matter how the court wrestled, how the harem struggled, they could not stop the pace of spring. After February 2nd, the last trace of the New Year was gone, and at this time, spring came.

After a spring rain, the old grass sprouted, and various garden parties in the capital also appeared.

Mu Mingtang had agreed with Mrs. Zhu a long time ago. When the day came, she set off from the palace and met Mrs. Zhu's family at the gate of the garden party.

After being replaced by an ordinary prince, after accidentally hitting and accepting the dragon lantern given to the emperor on the Shangyuan Festival, he would be in panic all day long, for fear that it would arouse the above suspicion. But Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang didn't have these worries. They were not afraid of suspicion, because the emperor was jealous of them.

There is a big difference between zero and ten, but when it comes to ninety and one hundred, there is no difference. Mu Mingtang still picked the post calmly and went out to Tachun.

Everyone in the Zhu family knows the importance of this gathering. Early in the morning, several daughters of the concubines gathered in Mrs. Zhu’s room, and the departure was punctual and smooth as never before. Mrs. Zhu didn't dare to let Mu Mingtang wait. She took her daughters to wait at the gate of the garden party early. After a while, a tall and gorgeous carriage approached. Mrs. Zhu took a look and quickly reminded her daughter: "Hurry up. Princess Ann is here."

Mu Mingtang noticed Mrs. Zhu and the ladies of Zhu's family in the car. The young girls were all dressed up and beautifully dressed, looking around, they were as eye-catching as buds on the wicker. After waiting for the car to stop, Mu Mingtang got off, just in time to see Mrs. Zhu walking towards her with her daughters.

Mu Mingtang smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhu."

"The concubine please greet the prince and the princess." After Mrs. Zhu finished speaking, the girls behind her also saluted Mu Mingtang together, "The princess and princess Wanan."

"Please get up soon." Mu Mingtang gave a false help and said, "We are late. I wish you would wait too long."

"Why, we just got off the bus." After Mrs. Zhu finished speaking, she looked at Xie Xuanchen behind Mu Mingtang, her tone a little uneasy, "His Royal Highness An is also here. How embarrassing is this, the girl is greedy for fun, and she actually works. You two."

"What does Mrs. Zhu say? It is obvious that I wanted to go out for a walk. I have Mrs. Laozhu and a few girls with me." After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he explained in a low voice, "I planned to come out by myself, but he It doesn't mean it's dangerous, but I just follow along. It's because of him that I'm late."

Suddenly there was one more person in the itinerary, and always have to make it clear to Mrs. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu is also a person with a family and a son, and she understands when she hears this: "The concubine understands. They are all thanks to the prince and the princess today. It is a blessing to be here to learn more. The princess and the prince have fun. It’s good to have fun, don’t worry about us."

Mrs. Zhu had an expression that I understand. Mu Mingtang tried to explain several times, but silently gave up. Forget it, this kind of thing is not clear, it will only become darker and darker, it is better to say nothing.

Mu Mingtang exchanged greetings with Mrs. Zhu and walked to the polo field together. This polo field is wide and flat, with grass and trees supporting the trees, elegant pavilions, a large polo field in the middle, and a variety of places for playing polo balls, pitching pots, and archery beside it. It is specially opened for the nobles and nobles to play.

The host of this spring banquet is an idle marquise. She is a well-known socialite in Tokyo. She is keen on socializing and has a wide range of friends. She is very proficient in organizing banquets and other things, and the methods are smooth, and all guests can be treated appropriately. So as long as it is a banquet held by her, the people in Beijing will give some face.

Mu Mingtang valued that the marquise was a veteran, and there would not be a moth at the banquet, there were so many people he met, and he had some connections of all levels, so he chose her post to come to the banquet. This level of banquet is most suitable for Zhu's family who have just come to the capital and have no deep roots. The marquise knows so many people, and it is enough for Zhu's wife to choose a son-in-law for his concubine. If Mu Mingtang took them to Wang Sun Gongqing's banquet, it would not be beautiful.

Mu Mingtang and the wife of Zhu’s family entered together. At this time, people in the park saw a group of women coming in at the door, with fluttering dresses, bright and bright, and they all talked to the people around them: "Which family of women is this again? So many. Young and beautiful female family members, who logically wouldn't be anonymous, why have they never seen it before?"

"I don't know either. Mrs. Li knows everyone. If it's not good, she dug someone from somewhere. Yo, look at the woman on the right. She is so beautiful. Why didn't I know that the new capital is here? character?"

The few elder brothers who were talking were puzzled. The servants behind him were not like prostitutes and businesswomen, but if they were officials and family members, this kind of person would never be unknown.

Several of them were commenting, and suddenly they saw Mrs. Hou, Li's hurriedly greet her from the stands, hurriedly saluting the woman whom they discussed earlier. After Mrs. Li saluted, she seemed to realize that another person was also coming. She was shocked and was busy saluting the man beside the woman.

The sons and brothers were even more confused by this incident: "Although the Li family has no official positions, it is a Houfu after all. Even if you see the lady of the country, you don't have to pay such a big ceremony? It's not the royal family."

As they were talking, one of the elder brothers stared at the man in the garden. He was confused for a moment, and suddenly reacted. He slapped the back of the head of the person next to him: "Look! You are not. Haven't you seen it, Xie Xuanchen's family members at that time! Look, don't you want to die?"

"Xie Xuanchen's?" The princes and buddies suddenly became messy. It was time to sit down, and to organize the clothes. Even the female dancers who were sitting next to them did not dare to hold their arms. Although they are all official children, they are not the eldest sons and grandsons of the family, and they are not the group that the family focuses on training. Therefore, there is no room for them to attend banquets and several large-scale palace banquets all day long.

Therefore, they really don't know the famous An and An. Fortunately, one of the sons was awakened by the family. Since Song Goro's incident, many people in Tokyo are afraid that their descendants will follow in Song Goro's footsteps. They don't have the face of Prime Minister Song. If the son really provokes that person, they might not be able to make it.

This son's brother's father had reminded him early, and thanks to this, he could recognize Xie Xuanchen. After he said Xie Xuanchen, everyone felt a coolness on their backs. Just now I saw how beautiful the beauty was, but now the back is cold.

Heaven bless, Xie Xuanchen must never find that they were watching Princess An just now, if possible, Xie Xuanchen had better not pay attention to them at a glance.

The example of Song Wulang is vivid, and I heard that the hair on the top of Song Wulang's head has not grown. If they provoked Xie Xuanchen, they would not have a prime minister.

Madam Li is extremely diligent when she sees Mu Mingtang. Madam Li is indeed a person who is used to communication. She speaks and handles matters very well, and her attitude is enthusiastic and not overly enthusiastic, which is embarrassing. It was very pleasant to talk to such a person, and Mu Mingtang was also laughed at by Madam Li's words, and Madam Li personally led him to the table.

In the middle of this garden is a polo field and other event venues. There is a circle around the stands. Some of the stands are open, some are covered with eaves, some are crowded, and some are just single rooms.

Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen are naturally the chiefs with the highest position, the best sight, and the most gorgeous decorations, second only to the masters. After Mrs. Li introduced them to the seats, she sued and went to entertain other guests. Mu Mingtang understood very well that Mrs. Li is today's master, and of course it is impossible to just take care of them.

When Mu Mingtang received the post, he had told Mrs. Li early that Mrs. Zhu and Miss Zhu would also come. Mrs. Li is so smooth, of course, another seat has been arranged for the Zhu family. At this moment, Mrs. Zhu and Mu Mingtang thanked them and took their daughters back to their seats.

Everyone disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Xie Xuanchen was the only one beside her. At the moment, the scene was extremely lively, the husbands met and greeted enthusiastically, the young masters and girls scattered around playing around, calling out friends, and from time to time familiar teenagers and girls greeted them with surprise. Mu Mingtang looked at these and sighed sincerely, "It's a young man, it's really lively."

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he consciously added to Xie Xuanchen: "You are also a young man."

Xie Xuanchen didn't want to say anything. He glanced at her faintly after hearing her words: "There is no silver, three hundred taels, I didn't say anything."

"I call it a rainy day, so I don't need you to pick words with me again."

"Who the **** is picking words?"

"Then what are you doing now?"

Xie Xuanchen stopped talking, and the maids quietly lowered their heads and covered their mouths and laughed when they saw the prince slumped.

The maid who came out of the palace was obviously used to this kind of scene. On the contrary, it was Madam Li who left behind to entertain the distinguished guests. At this moment, she was a little stunned.

The waitress was frightened and looked at Xie Xuanchen one after another. Seeing that Wang An really didn't mean to lose his temper, and the person next to him was accustomed to it, she suppressed the doubt suspiciously and said to Mu Mingtang with a smile: " Princess Ann, you are a rare visitor. My wife has repeatedly wanted to invite you to the banquet, but she has never had the opportunity. Now she is looking forward to you."

Mu Mingtang also nodded and smiled: "I was too lazy a year ago, I was always too lazy to get out of the door. If I had known that Madam's banquet was so wonderful, I would have come early in the morning."

The waitress didn't expect An Wang to be so famous and not easy to get along with. His princess was so easy to talk. The waitresses were a little flattered: "Princess Ann expresses her love, you have come here to shine, Madam is happy for several days."

Mu Mingtang smiled faintly. Seeing that Mu Mingtang is kind and easy to get along with, the waitress gradually became bolder and introduced Mu Mingtang to all the things on the field.

"Chamball and polo are both outside. Madam invited a special performance team, and there will be a women's polo match in a while. Wang Hao, look at the shed over there, and now there are many lords who are playing pots. Listen. It is said that the princes also bet the lottery. After hearing about it, our wife also took part in the bet.

Mu Mingtang knows that this game has a long history and is part of the ceremony. Noble men are basically good at it. Theoretically speaking, throwing the pot is as long as putting the token into the narrow-necked pot, but in order to show off their ability, men have developed many gameplay methods, such as leaning, not only to shoot, but also to throw the arrow on the left and right. Like the wolf pot, the arrow should make a circle around the mouth of the pot after entering the pot.

In short, the gameplay is dazzling. Seeing Mu Mingtang's interest, the waitress said more vigorously: "This time the princes are vying to throw the pot because Saburo from the Jiangling Bofu cast a sword xiao a few days ago. Everyone surrounded him and wanted to see him again. Vote once."

Mu Mingtang turned his head and asked, "What is Jianxiao?"

She had something that she couldn't, and naturally asked Xie Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen also took it for granted, saying: "If you miss a shot, the arrow will rebound, and you will get it quickly. It is called Xiaoxiao. Jianxiao means that the arrow bounces after being thrown into the pot and hung on the ear of the pot, like a hanging sword. , So called Jian Xiao."

Mu Mingtang knew it, and instantly admired the man who shot Jianxiao: "It's not easy to hit the shot. It's not easy to control the arrow to pop out of the pot, and it just hangs on the ear of the pot. It's too powerful, right? ."

Xie Xuanchen moved his eyebrows slightly and asked softly, "Is it amazing?"

The waitress saw the opportunity and said: "It's more than that. I heard that some people in the capital have seen Lianhuaxiao in the early years. Our wife has been so famous for a long time, but unfortunately, she has not seen it. This time the lady's lottery is also an eye-opener. Princess, Lianhuaxiao The name sounds fancy, but it is actually very subtle. The sword can be popped out and hung on the ear of the pot. Although it is rare, it is speculative after all. But the lotus is not. The arrow must hang on the ear of the pot in a lotus shape with every shot. To put the shape, it must be done in order, and each arrow cannot touch each other. If it is knocked off, it does not count."

Mu Mingtang gasped as he listened: "It's so difficult, can anyone really make a shot? Who was the one who cast Lotus Xiao back then, so powerful?"

The waitress also followed and praised: "The slaves don't know, I heard it happened years ago."

Xie Xuanchen sat aside, tapped his fingers on the table, and said silently, "If this is something within ten years, it should be me."

Mu Mingtang and the waitress were taken aback, and Mu Mingtang turned to look at him: "Is that you?"

Xie Xuanchen nodded innocently again, as if he was saying, can't you?

Mu Mingtang's teeth are sour, pretending, still pretending, this person is too rampant! He also pretended to say that if within ten years, it should be him. Can't you be sincere?

The waitress really didn't expect this development, and was stunned on the spot. Mu Mingtang asked: "You still throw pots? Why don't I know?"

"I know a little bit. I didn't take it seriously, so I didn't tell you." Xie Xuanchen still looked lazy and said, "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten it."

The waitress was silly for a while, but she reacted, and immediately said: "The prince is really all-rounder! Our wife has regretted for many years, but I didn't expect to be fulfilled today. The slave and maid will go and ask the maid. ."

The waitress hurried to call Mrs. Li after speaking. There was no outsider in the compartment at the moment. Mu Mingtang asked suspiciously, "Since you still throw pots, why didn't you tell me when you just spoke? I don't know at all."

"It's not very famous, naturally you don't know." Xie Xuanchen sighed and said, "I only blame my strength and martial arts for being too provocative. With my reputation, it gradually becomes a burden. You know, there are too many advantages for a person. It will bury other advantages. In fact, my literature, pitching pots, and many other things are all very good."

Mu Mingtang was furious: "Shut up!"

Xie Xuanchen held back a smile and shut up. Mu Mingtang held back for a while, and said bitterly, "I didn't know it was you before."

She sighed sincerely for so long, but the client sat beside her, as if she was very flattering.

"I know." Xie Xuanchen said in a light tone, "Don't blame you, blame them for being too useless. It's been so many years, and even Lianhuaxiao can't vote."

When Mrs. Li heard the waitress's message, she hurried over, and other langjun who had thrown the pot followed. As a result, they heard such a sentence as soon as they approached.

If you coax a woman, you can coax a woman, how can you bring a personal attack?

Many langjun felt that it was vaguely connoted.

The author has something to say: if you miss a shot, the arrow will rebound, you will get it quickly, and you will hit again. ——Throwing pot new grid
