Hearing that Mu Xiarou had this idea, Mu Yunjin smiled shyly, and cast a sidelong glance at Mu Xiarou, "Fifth sister, you are only fourteen years old, and you are still two years away from leaving the court, so why worry?"
When Mu Xiarou heard this, she became a little anxious, and regardless of the fact that Mu Yunjin was standing in front of her, she blurted out, "These princes are all at the age of marrying wives, and they might marry some official lady at any time. "Sister, if I don't fight for it sooner, I'm afraid that when I get old, there will be no princes who want to marry me."
"Why do you insist on marrying the prince?" Mu Yunjin was a little puzzled. These women all wanted to enter the royal family, but life in the royal family was not so easy.
"Third sister, just take me into the palace together, I promise to be obedient and not hinder you." Mu Xiarou looked at Mu Yunjin pleadingly.
Ever since she was born, her mother, the third wife, has been telling her that she is a concubine of the Prime Minister's family and a daughter's family. Among the many children in this mansion, she will definitely not receive special love and attention.
The only way to see if she is up to date is in the future. If she gets married into the royal family, then no one will be able to underestimate her anymore.
At the beginning, Mu Yunjin was not favored in this mansion, so she, Mu Xiarou, would naturally not try to curry favor with Mu Yunjin, but it is different now, her father couldn't help canceling Mu Yunjin's restraint, and even started to care about her.
Especially the marriage between Mu Yunjin and the sixth prince seems to be a certainty. At this time, if she doesn't curry favor with Mu Yunjin, who else can she curry favor with.
On the side, Mu Yunjin saw through Mu Xiarou's thoughts at a glance, rubbed her wrist, thinking that if this girl wanted to go, then she should take it with her, and it happened to help her divert her gaze.
"Then you can go with me today. Remember that there are many people in the palace, so don't talk nonsense." Mu Yunjin said.
Hearing this, Mu Xiarou not only felt a little disdain for Mu Yunjin, but even after seeing Princess Qin a few times, she even started to teach her a lesson.
When she also successfully married a certain prince, she would stop cursing Mu Yunjin!
…
After entering the palace, Mu Yunjin was not taken to the Xianghe Hall where Concubine Qin lived, but to the Qinghuan Hall, which is often used for holding palace banquets.
As soon as he stepped into the hall of celebration, he heard a lot of laughter from inside.
At this time, there were quite a few people sitting in the Hall of Happiness. Mu Yunjin glanced away and saw many people in official uniforms. Sitting inside, she understood somewhat that Princess Qin invited her here today to attend a palace banquet.
Looking at the big scene, Mu Xiarou suddenly felt that she had made a profit today.
After Mu Yunjin entered the door, all eyes in the venue were gathered by Mu Yunjin. Many people who had never seen Mu Yunjin sighed, which daughter of this family could be born so beautiful. After entering the door, he compared all the well-dressed official daughters.
"Miss Mu San, you can take the seat in the Prime Minister's Mansion with the Prime Minister." A little eunuch walked to Mu Yunjin's side and led her to the seat in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mu Xiang had noticed from the moment Mu Yunjin entered the door. Although she had changed her view of this daughter recently, after all, this girl has a bad reputation and has no ink in her stomach. Now she is brought to such a big occasion, she still feels a little ashamed.
Mu Lingzhu was sitting by the side, seeing Mu Yunjin walking towards her, a gloomy anger burst out of her eyes.
"Father." After Mu Yunjin greeted Mu Xiang, she sat down beside her, her eyes empty.
Seeing this, Mu Lingzhu glanced at Mu Xiarou who was sitting beside Mu Yunjin, and said coldly, "Xiarou, why are you here?"
"I begged my third sister to take me out to see the world." As Mu Xiarou spoke, she was extremely excited, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on the row of empty seats directly opposite.
My father is the prime minister, so he sits at the top of the hundred officials.
If it's opposite, I'm afraid it's the seat of the princes and princesses.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiarou became a little excited.
Not long after, there was a commotion at the gate, and Mu Yunjin followed the prestige, and saw a few figures walking towards the gate of the Qinghuan Hall.
The one in the lead was the purple-clothed figure, with a cold face and elegant steps, walking slowly forward.
After Chu Li took his seat, he glanced lazily at Mu Yunjin who was sitting directly across from her. Mu Yunjin was startled, and after their eyes met in the air, they moved away tacitly.
One is indifferent, and the other is pretending to be calm.
When Mu Yunjin was lowering her head, a black shadow appeared in front of her, blocking her light, and when she raised her head again, she saw Chu Qing's sinister smiling face reflected in front of her eyes.
"Greetings to the Third Prince." Mu Yunjin said casually, without even getting up to pay her respects.
Chu Qing was not angry at all, but turned around and looked at Chu Li, and then at Mu Yunjin, "However, we also met each other last time, the third lady looked at the sixth brother as soon as the prince entered the door, could it be that he is too ignorant? Is this the prince?"
On the side, Mu Xiang heard Chu Qing's words, thought that Chu Qing was going to trouble Mu Yunjin, so he was a little anxious to open his mouth to make a rescue, but Mu Lingzhu grabbed him and shook his head at him.
"My sister is very powerful now." Mu Lingzhu whispered.
Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Qing, forced a smile, and said awkwardly, "Who made the sixth prince wear purple clothes and walk in the front, so eye-catching!"
When Chu Qing heard this, she lowered her eyes to look at the silver-white brocade clothes on her body. Although the color was not as bright as the purple clothes, the silver-white clothes would not be as inconspicuous as Mu Yunjin said under the brightly lit candlelight.
So he just said, "My prince has forgotten the saying that Xi Shi is in the eye of a beholder."
"The third prince means that I am a lover, and the sixth prince is Xi Shi?" Mu Yunjin leaned on the chair, secretly complaining in her heart, she and Chu Li, what kind of lover is Xi Shi.
It hurt her wrist like this, it's pretty good that she can bear this breath.
The conversation between Chu Qing and Mu Yunjin was heard by many people who were seated relatively close together, and they couldn't help but make some people who were a little curious about Mu Yunjin's identity just now understand it all in their hearts.
It turns out that this woman is the legendary Third Miss Mu Yunjin.
But didn't the rumors say that she was timid and cowardly, illiterate? It can be seen that the tone of her conversation with Chu Qing just now was generous and unrestrained, which was not what the rumors said.
It can be seen that those are all rumors.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xiang was so lucky to have such a pair of good daughters.
"National daughter Xia Rou pays homage to the third prince." Mu Xiarou had long wanted to call out to attract Chu Qing's attention, but seeing that he had been talking to Mu Yunjin, she didn't speak.
Judging from the conversation between the third prince and Mu Yunjin just now, the third prince should be a relatively easy-to-contact person, not to mention his appearance is also extremely outstanding, the sharp-edged outline seems to be carefully carved, a pair of red phoenix eyes are frivolous, extremely charming, and his whole body is even more transparent. Exuding a sense of royal dignity, how can she not be moved.
Mu Xiarou had asked Chu Qing how she was, and had been waiting for Chu Qing's reply, but who knew that Chu Qing just waved her hand indifferently, then turned and went to her prince's seat. Mu Xiarou's face suddenly collapsed.
After Chu Qing was seated, Mu Yunjin raised her eyes to look at the prince's seat opposite, and glanced at Chu Li who was beside Chu Qing, and the tingling pain came from her wrist again.
…
"The Emperor is here—"
"The Empress is here—"
"The Empress Dowager has arrived—"
"The concubine is here—"
An announcement sounded at the entrance of the main hall. When everyone heard the announcement, they stood up one after another and looked at the entrance.
Mu Yunjin frowned slightly when she heard the series of announcements, then looked at the bright yellow flashing at the door, curled her lips, all the big shots had arrived.
After everyone had greeted them, on the main seat, Emperor Ximing said in a loud voice, "Your Excellency, please excuse me."
After Mu Yunjin sat down, she carefully looked at Emperor Ximing and the queen beside her.
Both Emperor Ximing and the Empress looked over fifty, and the corners of their eyes and brows were already covered with wrinkles.
On the side, Empress Dowager Zheng and Concubine Qin were also seated in the hall. They were sitting next to Emperor Ximing and the Empress. They were both dressed in red today, and their hair was combed solemnly and prosperously. Neither of them intended to lag behind the other.
"Today is an ordinary family banquet. You don't have to be too formal, just feel free." Xi Minghuang raised a glass of wine and spoke to the people below.
Everyone raised their wine glasses and said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the words fell, a row of maids and eunuchs walked in outside the door, and began to pour wine and vegetables on each table. After a while, every table was covered with delicious wine and food.
Mu Yunjin looked at the dishes in front of her, and just about to pick up the chopsticks, she remembered that her wrist was still swollen, and it was difficult to hold the chopsticks.
But Chu Li was still sitting opposite at this time, so Chu Li became suspicious, so Mu Yunjin simply gave up holding things, picked up the spoon with her left hand, and began to drink the soup from the small bowl in front of her.
In the main hall, Empress Dowager Zheng and Concubine Qin looked at the situation below, their eyes moved, and they opened their mouths at the same time—
"emperor."
"emperor."
When everyone heard the two voices, they couldn't help being stunned, and began to look up the hall.
Emperor Ximing was also taken aback when he heard the voices coming from both sides, and then he looked at his own mother, "Mother, please tell me."
Seeing this, Concubine Qin cast a provocative look at Queen Mother Zheng.
"Emperor, while everyone is here today, the Ai family wants to say a happy event." Concubine Qin said with a smile, casting a glance at Chu Li and Mu Yunjin below.
When Mu Yunjin came into contact with Concubine Qin's gaze, she suddenly had a premonition that she didn't dare.
"Oh? What's the happy event? The concubine mother said, let's share it." Emperor Xi Ming immediately became a little interested in the happy event Qin Taifei wanted to talk about.
"Huanger, back then the Ai family and the old lady of Mu Xiangfu made a verbal marriage, you know about this, right?" Princess Qin said.
When Emperor Ximing heard this, his brows that were originally stretched out suddenly furrowed slightly, and his face darkened a little.
"Now that Yun Jin, the daughter of Mu's family, is approaching Jiji's age, the Ai family sees that today, taking advantage of the excitement of the dinner, how about adding some joy to the emperor's edict of marriage?"
As soon as Concubine Qin's words came out, everyone immediately looked in the direction of Chu Li and Mu Yunjin.
It has to be said that these two people have outstanding appearance and are an extremely good match.
It's just that among the many princes, the sixth prince has won the respect and trust of the emperor, and it is very likely that he will be established as the prince in the future. Although Miss Mu San is bright and beautiful, the rumors about her in the streets and alleys in the past have already ruined her. Her reputation is really not worthy of the sixth prince.
