With the end of the national mourning, it seems to have drawn an end to the heavy sadness in the past. Although I still feel depressed and uncomfortable in retrospect, it will not be as heart-wrenching as when I was immersed in it before.
Mu Yunyao didn't take the matter that the maid of the King of Jin came to ask for a meeting, even if the emperor treated his brother kindly for the sake of his reputation and didn't do anything to him, with his current crippled body and completely deprived rights, he couldn't do anything. Come.
When they came to Qinfang Garden, Mu Yunyao saw Xu Qi again. At this time, she was walking with Princess Yide in the garden. She smiled brightly and had an intimate attitude, which made the Princess very happy. Seeing this scene , she raised the corner of her lips slightly, and there was a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.
"Yao'er has seen her grandmother."
"Come here quickly, Xu Qi was still praising the few camellias you raised. It's really gorgeous, one by one, and it makes people fall in love with it."
Mu Yunyao smiled: "Since Miss Xu likes it, when she leaves later, let Jin Qiao take it to the flower room to pick one to bring. The most important thing in Qinfang Garden is beautiful flowers."
Xu Qi seemed very happy and did not refuse: "Thank you, Princess."
Mu Yunyao glanced around: "Mother, why didn't you accompany your grandmother to enjoy the flowers?"
"Your mother accidentally sprained her foot and is resting in the room now."
Mu Yunyao's heart tightened: "Why did you sprain your foot for no reason?" "This morning, she helped you take care of the peony Wei Zi, but she slipped while walking, and the maids were not around. Fortunately, Xu Fei passed by and brought your mother back." Princess Yide's tone was calm and gentle, but she seemed to be narrating a trivial matter, which made people indistinguishable.
What emotions are in it
Mu Yunyao's face became more worried: "I don't know if it's serious, grandma, let Miss Xu accompany you around here, I'll go see my mother."
"Well, let's go."
Mu Yunyao turned around and walked towards Xu Yanhan's courtyard, the expression on her face suddenly sank.
Bi Ning stayed inside, Xu Yanhan was leaning on the soft couch, staring blankly at the jade pendant on the table, his expression seemed blank, he didn't know what he was thinking, and only then did he return when he heard Mu Yunyao's footsteps. When he came to his senses, his face immediately took on a happy expression: "Yao'er, you are here."
Mu Yunyao stepped forward quickly, saw one of her feet lying flat on the soft couch, and quickly stepped forward to lift the hem of her clothes to check: "Mother, I heard that you sprained your foot, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, that peony has just been watered, there are some water stains left on the cobblestones on the ground, and it slipped by accident. I have already asked Siqin to help me apply the ointment and knead it. Now, except for some redness, there is nothing serious. ."
Mu Yunyao checked it carefully, and found that the situation was really what Xu Yanhan said, so she put down her heart: "I just saw my mother in a daze, what are you thinking?"
Xu Yanhan hesitated for a moment, then motioned to Mu Yunyao to look at the jade pendant on the table: "I sprained my foot today, and Lord Xu sent me back. He accidentally left this jade pendant when he left, and I was thinking about it. What kind of gift should I prepare, and return the jade pendant by the way." Mu Yunyao looked at Xu Yanhan's expression carefully, and saw that she did not show any strange expression, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's easy to do, I'll help Mother is ready, you hurt your foot now, you should pay attention to the rest, don't think about it, go to bed and rest, you can have lunch
already? "
Xu Yanhan nodded: "I have used it."
Siqin helped Mu Yunyao to serve the tea cup: "Madam coaxed the county master again, you clearly said that your feet hurt and had no appetite at lunch, so you only drank a small bowl of white fungus soup."
"Mother, you can't do it without eating. You go to bed and rest first, and I'll go to the small kitchen to make something for you."
"Yao'er, don't bother."
"As long as my mother eats happily, it will not be troublesome for me to work in the small kitchen every day." After Mu Yunyao said with a smile, she turned around and walked out.
Si Qin and Si Qi served Xu Yanhan to lie down on the bed, and then slowly backed out.
At the door, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were waiting attentively. When they saw them coming out, they lowered their voices and said, "Miss ordered to let the two sisters go to see her in the small kitchen. Madam's servants are here for the time being."
"Yes." Siqin and Siqi had already prepared, and after answering, they quickly walked towards the small kitchen.
Mu Yunyao was thinking about what to do when Si Shu and Si Hua stood aside cautiously.
Si Qin and Si Qi came in, and when they saw this scene, they knelt down and said, "Slave and maidservants deserve to die. Please punish me, Miss."
Si Shu and Si Hua hurriedly knelt down together, with a look of shame on their faces.
Mu Yunyao put down the fresh spring onions in her hands, took out the silk handkerchief and wiped the water droplets on her fingertips, and looked at them with a light expression: "You guys have always been careful, and this is why I trust my mother to take care of you. The reason, however, today’s action has disappointed me very much.”
Siqin and Siqi lowered their heads and said nothing.
Mu Yunyao was silent for a moment, then said, "Get up, it's useless to kneel down and plead guilty. Tell me about what happened this morning. I want to know why none of the four of you were by her side when my mother sprained her foot. Instead, let an outsider bring her back."
Si Qin and Si Qi didn't dare to get up, so they just knelt down and replied, "Miss Hui, after hearing that Miss Xu was here in the morning, she didn't have dinner with Princess Yide, but just prepared two snacks for Si Shu to send over. ."
The secretary hurriedly replied: "After the servants finished delivering the snacks, I wanted to come back soon, but when I met Mammy Qu and ordered someone to help me find a scroll, I temporarily asked the servants to go to the library, so it was delayed for nearly an hour. I just came back." Siqin continued, "Si Shu didn't come back, and Madam didn't care. Seeing that the weather outside was just right, she wanted to go outside, so she asked Si Hua to stay at Bi Ning Residence, with her servant and Si Qi. Go to the garden to enjoy the scenery. Passing by the Peony Garden, I think of Wei Zi that you like, Miss, so I went to check it out,
Seeing that the gardener had just finished cultivating the soil, he came to say that he wanted to help you take care of it, so he asked the slaves to get the flower fertilizer, and only Siqi was left to watch. "
Mu Yunyao nodded and looked at Si Qi: "Then what about you, why did you also leave midway?" "Reporting to Miss, Princess Yide saw that Madam didn't go to dinner, and she was worried about it, so someone sent it to her. There were a few dishes that Madam liked. The maid who delivered the dishes passed by the Peony Garden. When she saw Madam, she came to reply. Madam asked the servant to take the dishes and send them back to Bi Ningju. The servant felt that there was only one left.
It is not appropriate for the next lady to be here alone, but the lady said that it is only a few steps away from Bi Ningju, not to mention that this is Qinfang Garden, and there will be nothing to do, so the servants left with the dishes. After that, Madam sprained her foot..." Link after link, everything seemed like a coincidence, but there are so many coincidences in the world
