The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 2 A Year in the Mu Mansion

Qingzhou, Zhizhou Mufu

The warm sun in early spring shines on the goose-yellow gauze pleated skirt through the layers of branches and leaves. The crimson embroidered soft quilt lightly covered her knees, and the faint fragrance of green grass lingered in the courtyard, Mu Xiyao narrowed her eyes comfortably. Lying on a soft couch on one side, with one elbow resting on one arm, there is a maidservant named Huilan beside her, who is waiting for you to peel the fragrant fruit. The pulp is slightly sweet in the mouth, soft and juicy, very delicious.

It has been two days since Mu Xiyao recovered. Based on her memory in the past two days, Xi Yao easily got acquainted with the habits of her original body, but she also disliked her not being delicate enough, pretty enough, or charming enough. Deliberately, Xi Yao, who is well, is even more clingy and coquettish.

Yu Shi felt sorry for his beloved daughter who was weak after typhoid fever, and carefully instructed the two maids beside the second young lady to take good care of her, and if there was anything she liked or preferred, just take it. On weekdays, the female celebrity also rests for half a month from her homework, and avoids greetings early in the morning, so that she can take good care of her. The breakfast is autobiographically used in the courtyard, and it is only necessary to go to the main courtyard for dinner at noon and evening.

Mu Xiyao's eldest sister, Mu Xicheng, had a marriage contract with Liang Youzhao, the son of Liang Bowen's son of the Imperial Academy Jijiu Liang Bowen since she was a child. She usually works as a female celebrity at home, and in the afternoon, she also went to Yu Shi to learn how to be a housekeeper, and listened to Yu Shi's orders to the housekeeper and nanny. Therefore, I don't often go to Mu Xiyao's Yingshui Pavilion.

The eldest brother, Mu Jinzhi, has been fond of martial arts since he was enlightened at the age of three. No matter how his father Mu Jingzhen reprimanded and whipped him, he had no intention of taking the imperial examination, he only devoted himself to joining the army, hoping to make contributions in the battlefield, to repay his parents for their upbringing, and to the Yuyin tribe. He left home to join the army when he was twelve years old, and now five years have passed, and he has become a seventh-rank deputy lieutenant. I am away all year round, and I can only go home during the New Year's Eve, and the family is reunited.

The year Mu Jinzhi left home, Xiyao was young, but she was born well-behaved and obedient, short and short, chubby like a ball, white and tender, with big eyes blinking and staring at you, as soon as she pounced on her elder brother, she hung up. The top refused to come down. Often following behind her brother, calling out Brother, Brother, the soft childish voice made Mu Jinzhi's heart tingle, and the watery and dependent eyes made Mu Jinzhi pamper her very much every time.

Every time I return home, there must be a large box of fun and lovable objects, which are specially scoured for Mu Xiyao. Up to now, there are still beautiful clothes, fragrant powder and glass, and kite dolls. Every year and birthday must be delivered early, and I have never forgotten it.

Mu Xiyao caressed the soft quilt on her knees, looking leisurely and carefree, but her mind never stopped. Two years later, there will be an early general election, and it will inevitably be impossible to escape. She can't play the trick of bullying the emperor. Although the ancients are not as good as the people of later generations, they are generally knowledgeable and broad-minded, but they are definitely not stupid. If you underestimate these old antiques, you will deserve your own bad luck when the time comes. What's more, there are parents, brothers and sisters, and the lives of the whole family cannot be wronged because of her, Mu Xiyao. Moreover, the remnant soul's obsession is too deep, and it must be ended early, so as not to affect the nature in the dark.

After lifting her feet to the bed, the eldest maid, Mo Lan, hurried over to straighten her dress and hold her Linglong hairpin. Then he called the little girl in the courtyard to put on a parasol, handed over a round fan, and a group of people went to the main courtyard.

A few feet away, the serving mother bowed and said, Second Miss, Ann. Opening the curtain again, he shouted inside: Ma'am, Second Miss is here to say hello to you.

Naughty is here, come in and show your mother, is today better? Is my son hungry? The woman sitting at the head is in her early thirties, with a dignified appearance and elegant clothes. She is Xi Yao's biological mother. Yu Shi. Zheng Zheng repeatedly ordered to add delicious fish soup, and urged to serve her favorite snack, sweet mouth.

Mu Xiyao, a woman in her third year of age, has never known what it means to pretend to be tender and what it means to be restrained. She said hello with a coquettish smile, then turned around and hugged Yu's arm coquettishly, and asked shamelessly: Did mother miss me? Xi Yao misses mother. This morning, I read Mother kisses the walnut cakes here~. The voice was so greasy, so sweet that Yu couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. She was really gentle and lovingly stroking her little head, and was carefully asking if her body was still uncomfortable. The waiter was not thoughtful, so she heard the announcement from the door that the eldest lady had arrived.

As soon as Mu Xicheng entered the door, she saw that the little girl was really clinging to her mother's body to try to be cute. Seriously saluting and greeting Yu Shi, he walked over and laughed at her for not looking like a lady from a family, and even cast a few white eyes over her, meaning: You pretend, pretend again. As for Mu Xiyao being well-behaved and sensible in front of her parents and elders, she turned her back and excitedly followed Mu Jin's uproar in Fang Jiewa's house, Mu Xicheng knew all too well that the wild monkeys from childhood to adulthood have always been blamed for her.

Laughing and making a fuss, Aunt Wu led Mu Xiting in, greeted everyone respectfully, said hello to everyone, and sat down consciously, listening to the conversation between Mrs. Yu and the two daughters-in-law , and occasionally agree to say a few words to join in the fun.

Aunt Wu is not to be favored, but it is rare to know how to measure and keep her duty. Yu Shi also treated this concubine kindly, never harshly. Miss Yi's clothes and jewellery, the teacher's mother, and the female celebrity teacher also gave Mu Xiting a share. Yu's generosity of caring for his children and treating them equally won the respect of Master Mu even more.

After eating, Aunt Wu took Mu Xiting back for a lunch break. But Mu Xiyao spoke at this time, and first praised her for finally growing up to be a magistrate, making Yu and his sister laugh so hard. He also took the opportunity to propose that after half a month, he would pick up the Guqin calligraphy and painting, needlework and cooking skills he had learned before.

Mrs. Yu was quite surprised. Today, from this restless little monkey, she heard that she needs to practice calligraphy and piano, and that female celebrities also need to review their cooking skills. Mu Xiyao raised her small chin, smugly waved her hands and said, I read a storybook story yesterday, and the peerless beauties in it all looked like this. How could I be so bad?

Yu Shi laughed so hard that Mu Xicheng covered her mouth and lost her breath. Mrs. Yu has always pampered her young daughter, so she agreed immediately, just telling her not to play around and act like she has no growth. In the evening, when I mentioned the interesting story about this little girl to Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu stroked his beautiful beard with a smile in his eyes.

Half a month later, Xi Yao practiced calligraphy and painting in the morning, worked as a celebrity cook after a nap, and sculpted piano tirelessly at night. I think she also came from a scholarly family in modern times, and was carefully taught by her grandparents. Thanks to the foundation of good education, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as long as you understand the differences between ancient and modern times, everything will go smoothly.

The troublesome thing is that Mu Xiyao has no female talent, let alone any foundation, and she is not as good as the original owner, so she can only muddle along. After all, she had practiced before, and this only child, Jiaowa, had never even touched a needle since she was a child.

The days passed in hilarity for more than a month. That day Mu Xiyao was still taking a nap, dreaming soundly, but was awakened by a sudden voice in her head. I was in a daze, and before I woke up, I realized that it was the jade pendant that caused the trouble again.

Well, Mu Xiyao really doesn't like to see this jade pendant. When looking for it, people pretend to be dead; when not looking for it, it becomes a troublemaker again. Either it gave her a headache, or it disturbed her slumber.

Why are you shouting? The woman lost her temper first when she got up.

But the jade pendant is also wronged! What's the matter! The original owner didn't keep it, and even met a Yasha! Such an embarrassing confession of the Lord, without embarrassment, is not welcome. Finally he breathed a sigh of relief, he had something important to tell, and only called a few times before he was scolded. It's really sad. Thinking of something important, I had to swallow my breath.

But someone is more anxious than it. The woman ordered ferociously: Let's not mention the fact that you are causing me a headache. Hurry up and send me back!

Without spiritual power, I can't go back...

When will it be restored?

No more. Tear time and space once, do you think it's that easy?

Mu Xiyao's expression was not good. I meditated for a while. The tone calmed down: There are still monks here?

You also know about monks? But that's an ancient thing. Now the aura is thin, and the orthodoxy has long since disappeared. I'm just a weapon spirit, and the body is the body-protecting spiritual jade given to the tribe by the ancient monks. The best spiritual weapon.

Mu Xiyao felt that she saw Yupei curling her dog's tail.

Then what use are you for?

It's not an illusion, Mu Xiyao felt that Qi Ling actually understood feelings, and sighed.

It's not very useful now. It's just worn close to the body, which can avoid all poisons in the mortal world and is inviolable. The jade pendant in the previous life has been shattered and no longer exists. In this life, because of my forced entry, it has been seriously damaged. Most of the functions will never be used again. The self-contained space has also changed from a courtyard to only a box size. This is also the consequence that must be endured by reversing time and space.

Qi Ling's tone was gloomy, and he couldn't help being sad. But the woman was even more injured than it and asked, The space is only the size of a cage? Can't I get in? Where's the spiritual spring? Where's the fruit tree? Where's the spirit beast?

Qi Ling's face is smelly, this woman, you think too much. Even if the jade pendant is intact, it is only a spiritual weapon, not a fairy weapon. Regardless of the woman's nagging, she only confessed to her: Not only is the jade pendant damaged, but even I am about to dissipate. All the spiritual power sealed in the jade pendant has been exhausted, and the outside world is not what it used to be. Naturally, the spirit of the weapon cannot exist. I just came here to tell you something important, to end this cause and effect.

Mu Xiyao knew that the main event was coming, so she listened carefully and paid extra attention.

The jade slips in the space, you don't have spiritual knowledge, so you can't use them. There is only a health-preserving scripture, which was given by the master when the master was refining Qi. It is especially useful for women who are beautiful. You can use the pills in the bottle as soon as possible. It can be taken, and there is nothing left. There are only four kinds, one for each. If you lose the spirit of the weapon and suffer severe injuries, the jade pendant will inevitably be reduced to the lowest level of magic weapon. It will warn of danger, but it is powerless to protect the master. You have to be extra careful Be careful.

Now that you are Mu Xiyao, since you can snatch this opportunity, you should be someone with good luck. But when you merge with the remnant soul, her resentment, resentment, love, hate, and regret, and the cause and effect of all these will be passed on to you. If the time is too long, it will affect the purity of your soul. This life must be settled clearly, otherwise, if you take the opportunity of others, but do nothing, and even your own soul is polluted, you will be trapped in this place after death, unable to reincarnate. Well, it's time to do it for yourself.

After speaking, without waiting for Mu Xiyao's reaction, she completely disappeared. The last weapon spirit left in the world in ancient times has finally come to an end.

Although Mu Xiyao hated the time-traveling god for being too ruthless and never returning, she also knew that there was nothing to be done, and it was useless to think too much. He tried to take out the health-preserving scriptures, but seeing that he could still understand them, he put them aside and continued to distinguish various types of elixirs. Yangyan Pill... Zhuyan Pill... Holy Spirit Pill (antidote holy medicine)... Xiangti Pill..., um, very good. Mu Xiyao was satisfied.

So, for the next year, Mu Xiyao followed the rules and lived a life in a boudoir. Only the holy spirit pill was left, and the rest of the pills were taken.

The daughter's family has been home for a year, her face has grown, and she has practiced health-preserving sutras, her body is stretched, and she has a slim posture. Gradually nourished by the elixir, the girl who was originally just a delicate girl gradually developed a charm. Although she did not have the appearance of a city, she could be regarded as a jade and a beautiful woman, which attracted people's love and affection.

Mu Xiyao knows that there are too many secrets, shocking the world, and never mentions them to others. She is the only one who knows all the secrets in this life.

There is no superfluous elixir, and the complete health-preserving classics are more effective for women, so only the first half is excerpted for Mu Daren and Mu Jin's physical fitness. I just said that I picked it up by accident when I was taking out the book at the book stand. He also coaxed Yu Shi in private, and forced the second half of the Nourishing Beauty Chapter into Yu Shi's hands, persuading him to practice with Mu Xicheng, just for fun.
