Chapter 129, what do you say?
Today, Mu Yaoguang dressed a little lighter than usual. She said a white dress with silver embroidered patterns, a light pink belt around her waist, and a light blue transparent gauze coat covered with it. However, it was too light but it would never be too outstanding. This would make people unable to get the wrong point. After all, she was still in the hot filial piety period and today she was attending the emperor's birthday again. It was impossible to say that she was dressed too brightly or too plainly.
When everyone saw Mu Tinglan coming out, they looked over, and Mu Yaoguang was the same. When they saw Mu Tinglan, the fire in her eyes was about to overflow, but when they found that there was no scar on Mu Tinglan's face, she was stunned at first, and then the fire of jealousy was even greater, and more anger filled her heart.
How did Mu Tinglan's face get better? When did she get better? Isn't her face no longer good?
Zhang and the others were also surprised. Today, Zhang only brought Mu Yaocen and Mu Lingxiong. As for Mu Yaoxian, they are still staying in the ancestral hall. Zhang loves this daughter more than Mu Yaocen, but if something happened, Zhang knew that she could not continue like this, so she didn't plead for anything now, and just focused on Mu Yaoxian's marriage.
After the Shengyuan Festival, General Mu and Mu Zishu went to find King Xinyang several times. Once, even when the people from the Duke's Mansion were there, the Duke's Mansion was naturally meant to let Xue Yanran enter the door first, but even if Mu Zishu was willing, General Mu refused and asked King Xinyang to let King Xinyang choose the Duke's Mansion. Either Mu Yaoxian enter the door first or enter the door together. If both the royal palace and Duke's Mansion insisted on Xue Yanran entering the door first, it would be fine. Don't blame him for not giving face at that time.
Although it is just a side room, it doesn't seem to make much sense to enter the door first and then enter. General Mu just couldn't bear this tone. On the other hand, he had the intention to create momentum for Mu Yaocen. He didn't like his grandchildren except Mu Lingheng and Mu Tinglan, but he couldn't really see them letting others do this, right?
Both the Duke’s Mansion and the Prince’s Mansion were unwilling to anger General Mu because General Mu was the one who could say it. If they really insisted, the day of marriage might be a time for both families to be embarrassed. If Mu Yaoxian and Xue Yanran came in together, the Duke’s Mansion would not be able to accept it no matter what. Originally, Xue Yanran and the others were training him as the queen, but now they were going to marry Chu Ran. Can they be willing to do so?
Moreover, entering the door with the side room is a joke and a shame for the main room. The Duke's Mansion cannot afford to lose this face, so Xue Yanran is the same, so she can only compromise in the end.
So the two sides agreed to start organizing marriage after the emperor's birthday.
Zhang also hopes to marry Mu Yaoxian to the Xinyang Palace as soon as possible, because if Mu Yaoxian gets married earlier, Mu Yaoxian will be able to get married from the General's Mansion. Even if they move out, Mu Yaoxian will still have a general's mansion to rely on.
Seeing Mu Tinglan, Zhang and Mu Yaocen were also slightly stunned. Mu Tinglan's face turned out to be better?!
Yes, Mu Tinglan's face had no scars at all at this moment. Her beautiful face was very smooth and delicate. From this perspective, she really looked very much like Su Wanrong.
"Nannan." Mu Lingheng was not surprised and walked forward quickly.
"Brother, have you been waiting for a long time?" Mu Tinglan said with a smile.
"No, we just came out." Mu Lingheng shook his head and said, "Nannan is so beautiful today."
Today, Mu Tinglan was wearing a purple smoke and hibiscus skirt, with a belt embroidered with cloud patterns on her waist, a good jade pendant on it, and a tulle skirt of the same color on the outside. It is really difficult for ordinary people to control this color of purple, but clothes of this color look extremely well-fitting when worn on Mu Tinglan, looking noble and graceful.
"Brother is also very handsome today." Mu Tinglan said happily. Any woman would be happy to hear others praise her for being beautiful.
"When will the injury on my second sister's face be cured?" Mu Yaoguang also walked over. Although his tone sounded similar to usual, Mu Tinglan still heard a little jealousy from it.
Mu Tinglan didn't care, "Actually, it's not completely fine. I just asked Mo Xiang to cover it with powder, so it looked like it was fine." She said.
It has not been enough for the Holy Yuan Festival to be enough for about ten days. Even if she thought about it, she would not be able to be able to do it directly, so she could only say that.
"So that's how it is." Mu Yaoguang smiled faintly. Although he was still a little unhappy, it was at least a little better than before. "But the second sister may still amazed the audience today." When he said this, Mu Yaoguang's jealousy seemed to dissipate. Wouldn't Mu Tinglan be amazed the audience like this? But it is not certain whether it is good or bad. Anyway, Princess Huixin has always been jealous of women who are more beautiful than her.
Thinking of this, Mu Yaoguang's mood improved a little.
Mu Yaocen was also a little jealous when she looked at Mu Tinglan, but she knew that her jealousy was useless, so she quickly adjusted her mentality.
But we have to say that although they are both the sons of General Mu, Mu Zishu and Mu Zilin have not been inherited from General Mu, and they have more of their respective concubines, so their appearance is really not as good as Mu Ziyan. Zheng is good-looking, so although Mu Yaoguang is not the most beautiful woman in Nanyong, the title of talented woman and her appearance is not wrong. At the beginning, many people chased Mu Yaoguang and wanted to marry her.
However, the third prince fell in love with Yan Yonghong's money bag, so he asked Mu Yaoguang and Yan Yonghong to make a marriage early.
"Okay, the time is over, let's go into the palace." Mu Lingheng said.
General Mu is still in the palace, and Mu Zishu and Mu Zilin also have their own official duties, so they need to enter the palace by themselves and meet with General Mu and the others at that time.
When we arrived at the gate of the palace, the people and carriages from the Xinyang Palace and the Duke's Mansion also arrived. The three families met together like this. When others saw this, they subconsciously slowed down or stayed to watch the fun.
There was a lot of lively in the capital, and the Zheng family had been in a turmoil before, but obviously no one missed the grudges between the General's Mansion, the Xinyang Mansion and the Duke's Mansion.
When they saw Mu Tinglan and his group, Mrs. Xue, Princess Xinyang, and their eyes became very bad. When they looked at Mu Tinglan, they looked like they were looking at some enemy. Although Xue Yanran and Chu Ran were hiding well, they were the same, as if they wanted to tear her apart.
Mrs. Xue and Princess Xinyang were understandable, but what were Chu Ran and Xue Yanran? Didn’t she mess with them?
I don't understand.
"So it's the princess, this is such a coincidence." Princess Xinyang said with a slight smile, "Hey, Princess's face?" Princess Xinyang then realized that Mu Tinglan's face was different from the previous one, and was immediately surprised.
Hearing her words, everyone subconsciously looked at Mu Tinglan's face. They were stunned at this moment. Mu Tinglan's face was actually getting better? A trace of surprise flashed in Chu Ran's eyes, and the eyes looking at Mu Tinglan were also slightly stunned.
Unexpectedly, Mu Tinglan was so beautiful.
Xue Yanran gritted her teeth and felt very jealous. When she turned around, she saw Chu Ran’s insane appearance. Even if she didn’t like Chu Ran, she was still angry. Chu Ran said that she only liked her, so what was that? Mu Tinglan, a vixen, deserves to die.
"So it's the princess." Mu Tinglan nodded slightly, "Oh, my face is almost done, but there are still some traces. Today I came out and asked the girls around me to apply some more makeup."
So her face is not perfect yet? But it’s almost the same, right? This shows that Mu Tinglan’s face is actually not unhealthy. So is this title of Nan Yong’s No. 1 Beauty?
Some people couldn't help but look at Xue Yanran. There is no doubt that Xue Yanran is the number one beauty in Nanyong, but for some reason, they felt that they were still a little far from Mu Tinglan after looking at Xue Yanran's face. Is it because of the jealousy on Xue Yanran's face?
It turns out that Xue Yanran also had a day when she was jealous of others.
Some ladies sneered in their hearts.
"So that's how it is." Princess Xinyang said embarrassedly.
"Hmph, so what if your face is good? You are still not as good as Sister Yanran." Chu Moer said with a jealous look on her face.
Mu Tinglan just smiled slightly when she heard this, "Miss Chu, I have never thought about comparing beauty with anyone. And Miss Xue is the number one beauty recognized by our Nanyong, and I am not as good as that of this princess."
Is this disdain to compete with Xue Yanran?
Xue Yanran thought so, and she suddenly became even more annoyed.
Why is Mrs. Xue also annoyed?
"Third Lady, why don't I see Xian'er?" Mrs. Xue looked at Zhang behind and said, "It means Miss Mu has already been engaged, and the second lady is about to marry into the prince's mansion, but the princess doesn't seem to be in a hurry."
"It's not a problem for Mrs. Xue." Mu Lingheng said, "Nannan's marriage was arranged by her grandfather and the emperor."
Mrs. Xue stuttered slightly, then pulled the corner of her mouth, "My wife is also concerned about the princess, right? But if the emperor and the general are there, the princess naturally doesn't have to worry. After all, the emperor's kindness is so great that no one can resist the order."
As soon as these words were said, some people were stunned for a moment, but when they reacted, they couldn't help but laugh. Mrs. Xue was still squeezing Mu Tinglan. The potential meaning was not that Mu Tinglan had no one to ask for it, but who asked her to be the princess? With the support of the emperor and General Mu, who dared not to obey the order? Who dared to resist the order? You must know that resisting the order requires beheading.
But after laughing, their expressions became a little guarded again. Some ladies even thought that they would not interact with Mu Tinglan in the future. Even Mu Lingheng and the others would not do it. Who knows if Mu Lingheng and the others would fall in love with their children and then ask for the emperor?
But they obviously thought too much. Not to mention that Mu Tinglan never thought about getting married in this life. Even if she wanted to get married, she would definitely choose a good man who stands tall and upright, and the other person she liked and liked. Her previous experience had taught her enough lessons. She was stupid and forced to be with her again.
"Madam is right." Mu Tinglan said. Just when everyone thought Mu Tinglan was stupid, they heard her say, "It's a pity that no one has such an honor to get the gift from the emperor. And the lady reminded me of one thing. I am not in a hurry, but I believe many people are very anxious. Maybe I can talk to the emperor and suggest it, well, I heard that Mr. Xue is already nineteen now. I am the same age as my brother. To thank Mrs. Xue for her reminder, I will talk to the emperor today. I think the eldest lady of the Huang family is good. I heard that the fifth lady of the Yu family is also quite famous. Brother, what do you think?"
Mrs. Xue's face turned green. The Huang family's lady is already seventeen but has not yet been engaged. Nan Yong's woman discusses marriage at the 14th and 16th. If she cannot get married, she will be laughed at. The Huang family's lady does not want to discuss marriage, but has no choice. The Huang family's lady was unable to die when she was fourteen years old. Miss Huang wanted to mourn her mother for three years, so she delayed the present.
Now Mr. Huang's wife is a concubine who is a fair wife, and she is very petty. Miss Huang has been in filial piety for half a year, but she has not helped her see the right man. On the contrary, Mrs. Huang is very concerned about her daughter. She has seen no less than ten men for her, and she even wants to let her daughter marry the prince.
As for the fifth lady of the Yu family, Miss Yu is quite famous, but the reason for her fame is not because of her versatility, but because the fifth lady of the Yu family likes the eldest master of Changxin Hou Mansion, Yan Yonghong's brother Yan Yongxin. In order to get the attention of the person she likes, Miss Yu did a lot of ridiculous things, which made the Yu family lose all its face.
If Lord Yu hadn't been from the Censorate, he would probably have been even more embarrassing.
"The princess is joking." Seeing that her mother's expression was a little wrong, Xue Yanran quickly stood up and said, "The father and mother had already decided on the marriage of the elder brother in the family, and the marriage was a lifelong event. It was a matter of mutual affection and a good match. I am afraid that Lord Huang and Lord Yu would not look down on our Duke's Mansion." This was definitely a slander. Xue Yanran clearly said that the Huang family and the Yu family were not worthy of the Xue family.
Mu Tinglan naturally heard it, but she felt very moved. This person just couldn't look down on others casually. Although the fifth lady of the Yu family was really not very good, the Huang family's future would be amazing and directly married the second prince as his concubine. Moreover, the second prince also respected this person very much. Not only Miss Huang was well-educated and well-behaved, but also wise. What's important is that Miss Huang was always with him when the second prince was in the most difficult time, and even thought of many ways to solve some trouble for the second prince. So the second prince later carried Miss Huang as the chief concubine and became the chief mistress of the royal family.
As for the second prince's original concubine, Miss Shen, it was a good explanation at that time that the couple was originally a bird in the same forest and each flew away when the disaster came.
It can be said that although Miss Huang's appearance is not the best, Miss Huang's ability to marry a wife and virtuous is much better than Xue Yanran.
"It's not the case. Princess should not joke." Mrs. Xue said with a stiff face.
"How could that happen?" Mu Tinglan said, "But since Mrs. Xue doesn't have this idea, then forget it. Brother, let's go." She turned around and said to Mu Lingheng. It's not fun to play with these people here.
"Let's go." Mu Lingheng naturally saw the boredom in her eyes, and a smile flashed in her eyes. Mu Lingheng nodded, and then walked into the palace gate with Mu Tinglan and others.
Zhang and others didn't say anything throughout the whole process. They had known that Mu Tinglan is not easy to mess with now. Besides, this is the important place of the palace. If there is any conflict that makes Mu Tinglan unhappy and ask her to make a big fuss in the imperial study again, no one of them will think about it.
Looking at Mu Tinglan and the others' figures, Mrs. Xue's eyes became even colder, and how was the mood of Princess Xinyang and the others good?
In the palace, the envoys of various countries have arrived, and the birthday party is also held in Wenxuan Hall, and the seats they sat there were not much changes from before. Bei'anruo sat there with a wine glass, looking bored, while the high-ranking officials and nobles of Nanyong Kingdom who had already arrived gathered together to say this, and some talked to the envoys of the four countries, but Bei'anruo was not very interested.
It has been a few days since we arrived in Nan Yong, and we have reached all the talks during this period. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the purpose of this trip has been achieved. But he also knew that there will be many changes. The previous assassination case seemed to have been closed and settled, but he knew that it had not been, and the real assassin had not been caught. It is still unclear whether the mastermind behind the scenes is from the Third Prince's Sect. Unfortunately, the Third Prince has to take the blame for the time being.
Bei'an Ruo felt that after coming to Nanyong, the things he had investigated before seemed to be of little use. It is said that the third prince and the second prince were both powerful candidates for that position, but after he came to Nanyong, what he saw was that the third prince was constantly defeated, while the second prince and the fifth prince made a lot of profits. Or it should be said that the fifth prince made more profits. At least the second prince was involved before, and now Lord Tong is still living in the prison. Tong Wanjie temporarily cleared of the suspicion and was just released back to the Tong family yesterday.
There is also news about the General's Mansion and the Xinyang Prince's Mansion, which are very different from what he investigated.
But it doesn't matter. They will stay in Nanyong for a few more days and still have time.
