Confused the world

Wearing a yellow brocade robe and a crown, Huangfu Jingyan walked into the hall with a cold expression on his face.The first time he saw Mu Qingcheng, his azure blue eyes just glanced at him, and then he bowed forward to salute the Queen Mother.

"The emperor's son greets the queen mother."

"Your Majesty, come and sit down."

The Empress Dowager called Huangfu Jingyan to sit beside her, from her cold face, it seemed that she didn't like Concubine Xian's coming here.

"promise."

Huangfu Jingyan sat down next to the Empress Dowager, and the hall was completely quiet at this moment, making people a little afraid of the suddenly cold atmosphere.

"The emperor has been busy with government affairs recently. If you are tired, you can just go back to the palace to rest. You don't have to come to Ai's house again."

"It's all trivial matters, let the courtiers solve them, and the emperor will listen to their opinions."

Huangfu Jingyan lowered his head slightly, with a very modest attitude.There was some disharmony with the cold expression on her face.

Mu Qingcheng's black pearl-like eyes rolled back and forth, looking at the queen mother and the queen from time to time.The silk handkerchief held in her hand had already been squeezed out of shape.

Wei Shuang'er could also sense Mu Qingcheng's occasional gaze, she pretended not to know, looked down at the mandarin duck silk handkerchief in her hand, and listened to the changes around her.

Ouyang Qingxue only had the queen mother in her eyes, and all her attention was there. As long as Mu Qingcheng looked at her, as long as she didn't overdo it, she probably didn't know.

Huangfu Jingyan cared more about Mu Qingcheng than anyone else, and she noticed all her little moves.I wonder if she is looking for a new target again, and I have been puzzled by her behavior, what exactly does she want?Concubine De is gone, Concubine Lan is gone, who will be left?

"Cheng'er, Yongle Palace will be in the future for a long time, and today I will spend more time with the Queen Mother."

"promise."

Mu Qingcheng bowed and saluted, nothing else.

Such a quiet person made Huangfu Jingyan a little dumbfounded.The blue eyes stared at Mu Qingcheng who lowered her head slightly, unable to see the expression on her face clearly.Hands folded in front of the abdomen, just like a lady of every family.

I still can't remember how long I haven't been to Sydney Palace, is she angry?

"Cheng'er is weak, and there is a long distance between Sydney Palace and Yongle Palace. It would be difficult for her to come here every day to pay her respects."

The Empress Dowager looked at Mu Qingcheng bowing her head in silence, then looked at Huangfu Jingyan's probing gaze, suspecting that the two might have quarreled, and she was sulking.

"Cheng'er will be like the Queen's sister in the future, learning from the noble concubine's sister, and coming to pay her respects to the Queen Mother on time every day. Walking around more is good for your health."

There was a faint smile on the corner of Mu Qingcheng's mouth, it looked like that pool of clear spring, so gentle that his heart was rippling.

"You're not in good health, don't force yourself, it's good for the Queen Mother to come here every day."

"Chenqie's health is still much better, I want to take advantage of this time to move around more..."

Before Mu Qingcheng finished speaking, the people present could understand the meaning.

"It's getting late, you guys retreat, go back and have a good rest. Ai's family is a little tired, and I want to go to rest for a while."

The queen mother watched the atmosphere getting worse and worse, and wanted to disperse the crowd quickly.

"Empress Mother, Sister De Concubine sent someone to Cheng'er to deliver some specialties from the Shu region a few days ago. Cheng'er was thinking of sending someone to deliver it, but she forgot because of her poor memory. The Queen's sister is the closest to Cheng'er's palace. Let my sister send it to the queen mother."

The corners of Mu Qingcheng's mouth were curved, and he looked at Ouyang Qingxue with a sweet smile.There was a light in the black eyes, and the body sitting on the chair was straight, and the behavior was full of sincerity.

Ouyang Qingxue looked at Mu Qingcheng with searching eyes, her right hand clinging to the white silk handkerchief moved slightly a few times, her eyebrows were raised, she raised her eyebrows a few times, her face was indifferent.

"Concubine De gave it to Cheng'er from thousands of miles away. How could the Ai family accept it? Cheng'er should keep it for himself. There are also a lot of delicacies in this palace."

The queen mother squinted at Mu Qingcheng, who deliberately diverted the topic away, with peachy lips, showing an elegant smile.Like the pear blossoms in March, the city is full of peach blossoms.

Weiyang Palace is indeed close to Sydney Palace, isn't Liuhua Palace even closer.If it's a gift, isn't the imperial concubine more suitable?The queen mother was wondering what Mu Qingcheng was thinking, as if she came here today to greet her with a purpose.

"Empress sister, concubine sister has them, how can there be no queen mother. When Cheng'er goes back, someone will send it directly to Weiyang Palace, so that sister can deliver it quickly, and eat it while it is fresh, and the taste will be better."

"My younger sister thinks of the queen so much, so the older sister treats her as an errand, and will send it to the queen later."

Ouyang Qingxue looked at Mu Qingcheng with a smile on her lips. She knew that Mu Qingcheng wanted her to come to the Queen Mother more often. Although she didn't know why, if she had the opportunity to get close to the Queen Mother, how could she refuse?

Thinking of the painstaking protection of this place for the past few years, she never looked at herself a few times, and felt sad in her heart.If I could make her look at me one more time, just one look, I would be satisfied.

"Empress, Erchen is just going to the Sydney Palace, can I let Erchen bring it for you later?"

Huangfu Jingyan watched the interaction between the two people in the hall with his blue eyes, not knowing whether they were doing this on purpose or not.In short, there is a particularly bad feeling.

Mu Qingcheng's eyes kept looking between the queen mother and the queen, and the queen put all her attention on the queen mother.

Mu Qingcheng gave me a step, as long as it is related to the queen mother, the queen will definitely come.Huangfu Jingyan could tell from the words and demeanor of the two of them that they seemed to be carrying out their own little plans.

In the harem, the empress and queen mother, no matter what, absolutely cannot do anything beyond the limits.Mu Qingcheng has her own plan in her heart, even for the sake of the Huangfu Dynasty, she must not be allowed to run amok in the harem.

The empress covets the empress dowager, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and it will destroy the nine clans.In either case, the harem is kept out of hands.

When Mu Qingcheng and Ouyang Qingxue heard Huangfu Jingyan's words, they both turned their gazes to Huangfu Jingyan.Seeing the coldness on that person's face, my heart suddenly jumped, and I murmured to myself, could my thoughts be seen?

"Since your majesty wants to send it off, don't bother the queen sister. Sister, it's getting late, and we sisters should also let the queen mother rest well. The queen mother is the master of the harem. She usually handles the things in the palace. She must be tired at this moment. gone."

"Okay, Empress Mother, Erchen, Cheng'er, Shuang'er, please leave first, and you should have a good rest."

Ouyang Qingxue stood up, bowed to the Queen Mother, and said: "Your Majesty, I will leave first, Your Majesty, and my concubine will leave first."

"Cheng'er is also leaving."

"My son retire."

The three of them were in such a tacit understanding that they took leave one by one, took a few steps back, and left Yongle Palace.The Empress Dowager wanted to speak, but was preempted by Mu Qingcheng's words, followed by Wei Shuang'er.When the three of them left at once, they sighed helplessly.

"Mother, what do you think of the queen?"

Huangfu Jingyan looked at the lonely Empress Dowager, and knew that she had endured everything by herself in the ten years since she entered the palace, and she never even had a confidant.She entered the palace and gave up her freedom because she was the queen mother's younger sister, the only person who could become the lord of the sixth house after the mother queen passed away.

There is distress in my heart, but I will not let the dignity of the emperor's family be trampled on.When entering the emperor's house, the royal reputation should be the most important thing.

"pretty good."

The Empress Dowager didn't understand what Huangfu Jingyan meant by his question.Remembering that she blocked the queen from sending things over just now, she also guessed that she might know the queen's thoughts.The dark eyes stared at Huangfu Jingyan, without even a trace of dodge.

"Well, my son thinks so too. It's getting late, so my son will leave first."

Huangfu Jingyan got up and left Yongle Palace.The determination in the Empress Dowager's eyes just now, do you really not know what the Empress is thinking?Still deliberately concealing it.

Mu Qingcheng, Ouyang Qingxue, and Wei Shuang'er left Yongle Palace and walked on the road to the Imperial Garden.

Looking at the flower branches with only green leaves left, Mu Qingcheng said leisurely: "The flowers can be broken when they bloom, don't wait for the flowers to fall and break the branches. Sister, what do you think of this sentence?"

Mu Qingcheng bent over, broke off an empty branch in the garden, and handed it to Ouyang Qingxue.The pale and bloodless slender jade fingers weighed the slightly yellowish branches even more desolately.

"Don't wait for the flowers to fall and break the branches. If the flowers are too high, it may not be something that I can do. I can only watch them fall slowly and feel sad alone."

Ouyang Qingxue took the dead branch that Mu Qingcheng handed over, silently feeling sad.Looking at the traces left by the flowers after they fell, I felt even more sad.

That person is still beyond his reach, and no matter how hard he tries, it will be futile.This is the court, not the people.What the royal family wants is face, and she will never ruin the royal family's reputation for her own selfishness.

"If you haven't worked hard, how do you know you can't reach it? If you always regard her as superior and consider yourself too weak, you will never be with her. Life is so long, but you live in a humble world. For that Is it really a good thing for people?"

Ouyang Qingxue paused for holding the dead branch's hand, it turned out that her thoughts were all seen.What does she mean by letting herself take the initiative to chase?Why did she do this, and what was her purpose?

"People can't be too selfish in their lives. If they ignore human relations for their own sake, they will be condemned by the world."

"What the world sees is only the surface. How have they ever really understood? People are inherently selfish. If two people can be happy, why should they just look up? Human relations are sometimes just human prejudices. The principles of our ancestors may not be all right, sister Say yes or no?"

Mu Qingcheng stared at Ouyang Qingxue's eyes, making her unable to escape and not allowing her to escape.

"Cheng'er, people have their own helplessness. Not everyone sees it as openly as you do. Sometimes silent protection is not necessarily a bad thing."

Ouyang Qingxue smiled bitterly, the scorching sun covered by dark clouds, that thin figure looked even more desolate.

"Guardian? Maybe that person is also looking forward to your walk in. If you have been silently guarding, wouldn't it be a waste of lovesickness. If you don't move forward, you don't know what the future will be like? Sister, flowers are high, as long as you find enough high Or, if you have enough courage, let her bend down and let you pick. Everything is possible.”

Mu Qingcheng took the dead branch in Ouyang Qingxue's hand, turned and left, leaving an intriguing back view for her.
