Confused the world

Chapter 6 Before Entering the Palace

Mu Qingcheng received the decree to thank you, just after receiving the decree, what did she seem to realize?

He raised his head and glanced blankly at the father-in-law who announced the decree, and then he said hesitantly.

"You... what did you just say? I... I was canonized?"

The father-in-law looked at the third miss of the Mu family who was so surprised, and thought she was so excited, so he replied politely with a smile.

"Yes, from today onwards you will be a concubine Xian."

The moment Mu Qingcheng got the answer, her peach blossom eyes blinked twice, as if she understood.He squatted down on the ground, and the imperial decree in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap".

"How could I be selected, it's impossible, is there something wrong?"

Isn't it because I planned these with all my heart that I couldn't be selected?I know better than anyone how bad my performance is.Among the many women, I am afraid that I am the worst, even if not the worst, I am the last one.This imperial decree canonization, is it because I haven't woken up yet, and I'm dreaming?

"Miss, are you alright?"

Dong Xue ran over to hold Mu Qingcheng's arms, looked at the pale young lady, and felt even more pity in her heart.Miss didn't want to enter the palace, but His Majesty liked it, and she couldn't escape no matter what.

"Dongxue, let's go home, I need to wake up properly."

Mu Qingcheng got up weakly and stumbled as she walked, like a sad and embarrassed woman.

Dong Xue and the others did not dare to speak, and followed closely, fearing that something might happen to Mu Qingcheng.Chun Yu picked up the imperial decree left on the ground, and she knew that this imperial decree completely changed the fate of everyone, including her.

Li Yan and the others looked at the thin, pale woman. Everyone here was here to run for the election and was preparing to enter the palace, but Miss Mu's performance didn't look like she was happy at all.

Back in Mu Mansion, Mu Qingcheng locked herself in the room.No one dared to go in and disturb them, they all stood outside the door and listened to the movement in the room.

Yin Yuehua was worried about her daughter's accident, so she was pacing back and forth in the hall at the moment.

"Husband, tell me what to do now? Cheng'er locked himself up, isn't that killing people?"

With an anxious expression on her face and a step that didn't know how to stop, her daughter locked herself up as soon as she got home. She was afraid in her heart, afraid that her illness would recur, and she was afraid that she would make a mistake.

"Madam, Cheng'er will be fine. She just can't accept it for a while, and it will be fine when she figures it out."

Although Mu Wei was also worried, he understood his daughter somewhat.It is no longer a matter of a day or two for the emperor to let her enter the palace.

When his daughter was 14 years old, the emperor hinted that he politely refused because his daughter was still young. When she was 15 years old, she refused because her daughter was unwell and had been bedridden all year round, so she was not suitable for life in the palace.

This time His Majesty did not inquire, because the situation in the court has become clear.He needed his own power to help him, so he tried every means to get his daughter into the palace to restrain himself.

Back then, the second daughter did not leave the court, and the emperor never mentioned letting her enter the palace, but mentioned his youngest daughter. The reason for this was that he would not abandon this frail and sick daughter and leave the court.The king's heart is unpredictable, the emperor is suspicious, and he does not leave room for things, in order to achieve the goal, he will use any means.

"Mother, you don't have to worry too much about my sister, she will be fine. Since returning home, she has suffered a lot from entering the palace, and she has some lumps in her heart. If she can figure it out, she will get better."

Because of his younger sister's entry into the palace, Mu Yuncheng and his wife Qu Wan'er hurried over from Suzhou.The emperor let his younger sister enter the palace, so he could guess a thing or two.The royal family and the Mu family have had a close relationship since the founding of the country, and the former emperor's reliance on his father was more due to the power and loyalty of the Mu family.In the past few years, the Mu family wanted to draw a line with the imperial court, disarm and return to the farmland, or go into business. The emperor took a fancy to this, and now he is thinking of making a move.

The Mu family is too powerful, and this king will always be jealous. Sooner or later, the Mu family will cause a catastrophe.Since ancient times, kings can only conquer the world together, but there is no such thing as sharing the world.

"Yes, my sister will be fine. Mother, you don't have to worry, my sister will definitely come out tomorrow morning."

Qu Wan'er was also comforting her mother-in-law, she knew what kind of temper the sister-in-law had.

"Her body is just right, can I not worry? I have left her alone in Emei for so many years, and she has suffered a lot. She doesn't say anything, but I know it as a mother. That child is kind and filial. Every time I go to Emei, she They all look very good. But occasionally I see her body bruised and purple due to practice. My heart hurts like someone dug it out."

Yin Yuehua talked about the past, her eyes were foggy.Because of poor physique, the body is small and thin.I had several serious illnesses in Emei, and I was afraid that my mother would be sad, so I deliberately concealed it.Practicing kung fu is harder than other teachers and sisters. Every time Tai Shizu talks about this daughter, he feels pity in his heart.

"Ma'am, Chenger has grown up. She is no longer that thin and mischievous child. You have to rest assured of her, otherwise she will be worried. Speaking of who she cares about most here, there is no one else but you."

Mu Wei stepped forward and hugged Yin Yuehua tightly, he wanted to calm his wife down.

The hall fell silent, and everyone said they were not worried, but they were all worried.Entering the palace canon will change the fate of the entire Mu family.No one would think that this is a good thing, and what is more in their hearts is that the Mu family's disaster is about to come.

Early the next morning, the four people who had been sleeping soundly outside the door all night slowly opened their eyes when they heard the sound of the door opening.

"What are you four doing? Don't say you haven't slept all night?"

Mu Qingcheng pushed open the door, and as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw four people who looked like door gods, sleeping there staggeringly, their postures were extremely ugly.

"Miss? Miss, are you out?"

Seeing Mu Qingcheng who appeared at the door, Qiuyue stood up, with drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.

"Yeah, if I don't come out, do I still have to hibernate inside?"

Looking at the saliva at the corner of Qiuyue's mouth, she also understood the reason.He frowned, his face full of displeasure.

"You four have had breakfast, go to bed immediately."

Hearing Mu Qingcheng's scolding, Chun Yu smiled and patted her buttocks and stood up.

"Miss, we've slept all night, so we don't need to sleep anymore, hehe."

"If you do this again in the future, you will not be allowed to eat for three days."

After speaking, they strode away, these people were worried about themselves, and Mu Qingcheng knew it in his heart.But she also cherishes them in her heart, they are all sisters who grew up together, and they are the ones who have been with her the longest.Every time I get sick or injured, I will watch over it day and night.

Hearing Mu Qingcheng say this, she also knew that she was no longer angry.The four of them hurriedly followed behind.

After breakfast, several people chatted in the pavilion of Mu Qingcheng's other courtyard.

"Qiuyue, don't dance your sword anymore. If you don't touch your sword for a day, will you feel uncomfortable?"

Chunyu looked at Qiuyue, who had been practicing swords since eating breakfast, in the yard, and began to chatter.Everyone was talking, and she was the only one working hard.

"Whoosh" a fallen leaf struck, Chunyu reached out and quickly picked up a melon seed on the stone table, and threw it with his right hand, splitting the fallen leaf in half and falling to the ground.The melon seeds flew straight to Qiuyue, who was dancing the sword there. Qiuyue turned around, and the melon seeds flew past her ears.

"Qiuyue, you will never be able to compare with me in using hidden weapons, so it is better not to do things like sneak attacks."

Chunyu smiled and sneered at Qiuyue who was pouting there, saying that hidden weapons are her best.That guy wanted to plot against him, but she should be more tender.

"Hmph, don't you just know how to use hidden weapons? My sword is equally powerful."

With a puffed face, Qiuyue walked over angrily and sat on a stone bench beside her.Every sneak attack failed, and she suffered a lot of blows in her heart.

"Stop bickering, the two of you. Miss, lie on the table alone and think about things. Don't disturb her."

Dong Xue looked at the two women who were about to start bickering again, and looked at Mu Qingcheng who hadn't said a word since she came here, and knew that she had something on her mind.If it was normal, this young lady would have started chattering non-stop.She is a restless person.

"You don't need to pay attention to me, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about how to live after entering the palace. I'm afraid that I will suffocate to death inside that lifeless high wall before the next pear blossom blooms."

Mu Qingcheng was lying on the table, counting the melon seeds one by one with both hands, looking lazy, like a very boring child.Black ink hair was draped behind her like a waterfall, with a few strands hanging upside down beyond her ears.

"Enter the palace? Miss, don't you really want to enter the palace?"

Xia Xiang stared at Mu Qingcheng with wide eyes, doesn't this young lady dislike the imperial palace?If you don't want to enter, you can use the power of Xiaoyao Building to solve it easily, so why force yourself to enter the palace?

Xiaoyao Tower is the first floor in the world, no matter the rivers and lakes or the court, they must bear three points.Because he doesn't participate in political affairs, and he doesn't want to take care of the affairs of the Jianghu, the court and the people in the Jianghu have tried to woo him many times for their own power, but to no avail.

Murong Hanying, the deacon of Xiaoyaolou, as the number one beauty in the world, was rejected many times by the sons of wealthy and prominent families.

The landlord of Xiaoyao Building is the most mysterious, no one knows who she is, and no one knows whether she is a man or a woman.Xiaoyaolou operates restaurants, cloth workshops, and pawnshops. These are not the most important. The most important thing is that Xiaoyaolou's news is accurate and fast.If someone wants to get the news they want from Xiaoyaolou, they will have to pay a price.

"Yes, the imperial decree has been issued. If you don't go, I'm afraid you will hurt your parents. Your Majesty wants to win over the Mu family, and he will not let me go easily. I am just one of his pawns. The king will never let go of the most important thing to me. A favorable pawn. The current situation in the imperial court does not allow him to continue dealing with those who want to usurp his throne. She needs to gather strength and defeat those people one by one."

Mu Qingcheng sat up straight, stretched, and continued.

"The Mu family is very powerful in the imperial court and in the Jianghu. This is the only thing His Majesty likes. But he is also afraid in his heart. He is afraid that the Mu family will be too powerful, suppress him, and finally steal his country. Invite me into the palace. , want to take me as a hostage, and then contain my father, let him do things for him obediently. Our Majesty is not an ordinary person, otherwise he ascended the throne at the age of 15. In the past five years, he has dealt with all the major forces of the court alone. They contained each other and there was no turmoil, which also shows that his methods are unusual."

Not participating in the affairs of the court does not mean that you do not understand the situation of the court.I often travel in the rivers and lakes, I don't want to know, but I have to know.Those storytellers, as well as those scholars who like to care about state affairs, often chat in restaurants, close their eyes, there is nothing but their nagging.

"Miss, shall we also enter the palace with you?"

Qiuyue was worried that Mu Qingcheng would enter the palace and kept them outside.She only wants to be with Miss in her life, and she doesn't want to be separated even if she dies.

"You can follow along if you want, but there are many rules after entering the palace, Qiuyue, do you think you can bear it?"

Mu Qingcheng knew what she was thinking, but there were many rules in the palace and the complexity of the people, so it was not as free as outside.Sometimes a small mistake can lead to catastrophe.

"I will go wherever Miss is. I don't care if there are many rules or not?"

If she wanted to abandon herself and enter the palace, Qiuyue would not be afraid because of the rules. She knew that with the young lady around, many things would be easily resolved.

"Haha, don't regret it. The board in the palace welcomes people like you, and you will probably be 'enjoyed' if you go here."

Mu Qingcheng knew Qiuyue too well, people in the palace were full of gossips, Qiuyue was pure and upright, easy to trust people, and easy to cause trouble, so there would be things like this to some extent.

"Miss, what kind of clothes do you wear when you enter the palace, we have to hurry up and make them out?"

This time she entered the palace to accept the canonization, and she was dressed to represent the Mu family. Dongxue had a delicate mind and could think of anything.Before meeting Mu Qingcheng, she was also a lady of the official family, and because of troubles caused by her family, she finally fell down.She still knows these official etiquette to some extent.

"If you don't tell me, I'd forget. Just order someone to make a set of bright red robes. Canonization is also considered a marriage. Don't lose your sense of propriety like a draft."

"Yes, ma'am."

Dongxue went down and ordered people to make clothes, and Mu Qingcheng and Chunyu also went to prepare things for the palace.
