Thirty-one: Full Moon Banquet (2)

Li Jingyuan just thought that he was thinking too much. Aunt Wei came to pay his respects, with a kind smile and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind and cherishes the princess and your highness so much. The emperor and the queen will definitely be very relieved. However, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and they are different. Some things are difficult to go against the will of heaven. You can just have a clear conscience."

"Auntie is going to teach me not to go in vain?" Li Jingyuan was a little disappointed and said, "The second brother has lost his mother since he was a child. It is because I was not good at it when I was just born, which has caused him to live so hard in the future. As the elder brother, I feel uneasy whenever I see him living such a cautious life."

"I dare not. Although the Second Highness did not grow up in the palace, he was diligent and polite and thought about everything. Your Highness did not have to worry or worry. In the future, the Emperor will choose a good mother for the Second Highness and will definitely have a good future."

"In my opinion, the diligence and politeness of my aunt is just walking on thin ice. He knows that he is different from other brothers and sisters, so he is cautious in everything. I understand what my aunt said, this is not something I can change, but I always think that if I can talk to my father more, it will make him not have to live like this." Aunt Wei's words were to persuade him to relax, but Li Jingyuan understood, but he couldn't convince himself to ignore it.

At this time, in the direction where Li Jingci left, a woman in fine clothes was chasing over there in a hurry, looking around from time to time. Li Jingyuan looked around and saw that the man was Yao Concubine.

"What are you going to find your second brother?" Li Jingyuan thought for a while, "Last time for the Qingming Palace Banquet, Immortal Yao seemed to be quite concerned about my second brother."

Aunt Wei knew it in his heart and said, "Maybe Concubine Yao is in love with the Second Highness. The Empress is well-read and has always been sympathetic to the Second Highness, so she naturally cares more."

Li Jingyuan pondered for a moment, a trace of doubt flashed across his face, and said, "Empress Yao has a wealthy family and has no children. If she can truly love Jingci, it would be a pleasure for both of them."

Aunt Wei saw Li Jingyuan growing up. Li Jingyuan always respected her. Aunt Wei actually saw all the doubts that flashed by just now.

Just because Li Jingyuan also remembered that when he was young, he once walked with Li Jingci and joked. When he met Concubine Yao, both of them went up to pay their respects. Yao Jiyun only took Li Jingyuan's hand lovingly to talk to him, but ignored Li Jing's words throughout the whole process.

Yao Jiyun pulled the young Li Jingyuan aside, patted the dust on his clothes, and whispered: "Your Highness is the eldest son of the central palace and his status is extremely precious. It is really a loss of identity when walking with such a person. What if you are infected with those bad habits?"

Xian Ning scoffed and said, "The emperor doesn't like such a wild child, and His Highness is tired of playing. Why not go to our Empress Palace to use some snacks."

Li Jingci was still young at that time and could hear it clearly. Xian Ning seemed to have made him hear it on purpose. Tears burst out from his eyes and ran over and shouted, "I'm not a wild child! I'm not!"

Xian Ning and Concubine Yao were both startled and protected Li Jingyuan behind him. Concubine Yao condemned: "What kind of singing in the palace is like this? Where is the nanny who takes care of you?"

Li Jingyuan broke away from Yao Jiyun's hand, walked to Li Jingci, and said to Yao Jiyun: "Empress, my second brother rarely enters the palace. He did not intend to bump into you. I... I will apologize to you on his behalf."

How dare Yao Jiyun asks the emperor's eldest son to apologize? He comforted Li Jingyuan for a few words, then hurriedly left, and said indignantly as he walked: "It's really a bad luck, not as majestic as the emperor."

There were many people in the room, and Mu Yanqing was so depressed that he came out to have some breath and ask for peace. As soon as he came out, he saw the princes and princesses having fun, and there were people serving him around him. He thought to himself that no one would notice him when he went over to look for Concubine Yao.

"Master, I have only seen the Second Prince, I have only seen him from a distance a few times. Because I have been away from the palace for many years, no one knows his temperament, and even he has a bit of a taboo. I have inquired with Xiaochuan for a few days, but I still know nothing. On the Qingming Festival a while ago, someone really saw Concubine Yao holding an exquisite snack box and talking to the Second Prince. The Second Prince didn't want it, so he turned around and ran to the Imperial Garden without a shadow." Cailian said while worried, not knowing what Mu Yanqing could do to this second Prince who had nothing. "I don't know if the Second Prince deliberately hid and disappeared. The nanny who served called a few guards and searched in the Imperial Garden for a while before finding the Second Prince. It seems strange."

Mu Yanqing said: "I didn't think about how to deal with it and how to help Concubine Yao. But, knowing yourself and your enemy will win every battle. You have to hear and see it before you can know what kind of person the Second Highness is. Concubine Yao is golden branches and jade leaves, and she is very arrogant. She may not be willing to repeatedly surrender to the nobles and be patient to understand the Second Highness."

The two of them were talking in a low voice from each other, and suddenly they saw Concubine Yao walking towards her with some anger, holding the palace skirt and walking lightly.

It’s really not to mention Cao Cao, it’s time to say it. Yes, this time I can’t help but be a ventilator.

Mu Yanqing bowed his knees and bowed his head, "Please pay tribute to Concubine Yao."

Yao Jiyun didn't expect Mu Yanqing to come out, and snorted coldly, "The unlucky things are really one after another... Why? Now you have deceived Xiaopin's trust, and even Xianpin wants to thank you in front of the emperor, which makes you at a loss? You still have to run out secretly?"

Mu Yanqing looked back and saw that no one came to him, saying, "The concubines are stupid, and the concubines are beautiful and kind-hearted, but they are just pitiful. The concubines envy Concubine Yao. I heard that the emperor was unable to make up for the title of Concubine Xian. It was because you were talented and helped the emperor solve the problem."

"You know a lot," Yao Fei looked at Mu Yanqing from top to bottom, brushed her hand and tidied up the hem of her skirt, raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "Do you know where the word Xian comes from?"

"Please give me advice."

Yao Jiyun's elegant appearance is an excellent representative of "a poetic and literary spirit," "'Xian, elegant', also has the bright and wise meaning of 'benevolent and leisurely heart', which is very consistent with Xianpin's gentle and quiet personality. Your father is still a teacher, but why did you feel a little bit in your heart when you get to you? This palace only sighs about the shortcomings of beauty, which is such a virtuous mind, not everyone has it."

Mu Yanqing said sincerely: "The Empress is both talented and beautiful, so naturally I am beyond my reach."

Yao Jiyun moved forward a few steps, and was already angry, and he didn't want to let Mu Yanqing go easily. "I am not Xianpin. I can be deceived by your little trick. When you are the eloquent, you are kneeling in front of the emperor to prove me. There are no one else now, so who do you want to show me like this?"

Mu Yanqing also knew that he might have hit the powder barrel. He quietly raised his eyes and found that Xian Ning was carrying a small package. She immediately guessed that Yao Jiyun must have hit a nail in Li Jingci's place.

She thought about it and said, "Empress, how dare I deceive the Empress? But just now I saw that the Empress was about to come out and have some breath. I had something in my heart and wanted to take the opportunity to say it to the Empress."

Yao Jiyun casually fiddled with the tender leaves under the corridor, but did not follow the routine that Mu Yanqing had imagined. "You want to say, do I have to listen to me?"

Mu Yanqing plucked up the courage to move forward and said, "Of course, the Empress is very blessed, and it will be a blessing sooner or later to nurture the prince's dragon grandson. Such a secret recipe for giving birth is indeed not worthy of tainting the Empress's ears."

Yao Jiyun's slender jade finger suddenly stayed on the tip of the leaves, looked at her sideways, hesitated for a moment, and said indifferently: "Do you think you believe me after you say it? You are a noble person and forget about it. Do you need me to remind you of those who sell your old masters to gain honor and favor? No matter how unrest is, it is not your turn to say anything."

"The Empress misunderstood," said Mu Yanqing. "I knew that my sins were serious in the past, so I tried my best to share my worries with the Empress. Even if it could make up for one millionth of times, I would feel at ease for the Empress when I smiled."

Yao Jiyun became even more angry when she heard this. She gritted her teeth and stared at Mu Yanqing. Xian Ning whispered behind her: "Don't be angry, today is a good day. Maybe someone will pass by now. She might be trying to anger her master on purpose, and she doesn't know what idea she is going to make."

Mu Yanqing was speechless as soon as he heard this. How much effort did these great palace maids have to over-read and comprehension?

Yao Jiyun's eyes turned and his anger was mostly suppressed, knowing that he could not pursue the investigation at this time.

"What is Empress Yao talking about? She looks very excited."

Several people looked at the tender voice, and saw Wen Yingchi walking towards her with a smile on her eyes.

Yao Fei's expression calmed down a little. The man in front of her was getting favor and had happy events again. Even though she knew that Wen Yingchi had rescued Mu Yanqing, she couldn't put on a big air and said, "I'm not afraid of letting Xianpin laugh at me. Mu promised to teach me some secret recipes for having children. I am teasing her, how can it be to pass these insignificant things into the harem?"

Wen Yingchi was stunned, covered his mouth and chuckled, saying, "Let the Empress laugh, Mu promised not to speak to the Empress rashly. Since she intended to say it, even the concubine wanted to hear it."

Mu Yanqing couldn't help but wonder why Wen Yingchi spoke out to help her to relieve the situation when he walked into Yanxi Palace for the first time? Did this traffic-producing young actress take it down without any effort?

Yao Jiyun glanced at Mu Yanqing, and when he walked past her, he deliberately pushed his shoulder with his shoulder. The skinny shoulder bone made Mu Yanqing frown suddenly, "Princess Xian is so excited when he is happy, so he naturally has this kind of interest, so I will not be able to disturb him."

After Yao Fei left, Mu Yanqing thanked Wen Yingchi: "Thank you for the help of Concubine Xian. Today there are many people, and the concubines are slightest and have not yet formally congratulated the Empress. I wish the Empress and the Princess a long life and a long life, peace and joy."

Wen Yingchi asked the palace maid to go behind him to guard him, and Mu Yanqing understood and asked Cailian to retreat behind him to guard him.

The wind stagnated among the shadows of the trees, and the fragments of light sprinkled on Wen Yingchi's face and spread on a luxurious court suit. As she approached step by step, the light and shadow flowed, and even the outline seemed to become unreal, as if it would disappear with the wind at any time.

Mu Yanqing exclaimed secretly, what a lovely broken beauty.

"Mu promised to joke, you are the benefactor of my mother and daughter. When the princess grows up in the future, she should be filial to you." Wen Yingchi's voice was very soft.

Mu Yanqing heard something unreal from this line, and couldn't figure out what Wen Yingchi was going to do for a moment. She looked around and said, "Empress Xian, there are no people here, so I dare not receive your grace. As for... As for Empress Xian's words before the emperor, let Sister Qin get a trustworthy person to accompany her to practice martial arts. The concubine is also lucky to be with her kindness and be able to wait with her... give some advice, and I should thank the empress in person."

Wen Yingchi's love was also condensed on his face and said, "Sister Yan Qing also said that there are no people here, why did he have a puzzle with me instead? It was Ning Chuan who wanted to go, right?"

Mu Yanqing raised his head, but saw tears flashing in Wen Yingchi's eyes. In fact, Wen Yingchi was not surprised to guess this point after thinking about it. Qin Peiying knew that the emperor did not like Gu Ningchuan, so he would never ask Li Yuxuan for fun for no reason.

"Princess Xian forgives the crime. I really took the initiative in this matter and gave it a bold try to take advantage of your affection."

Wen Yingchi's nose was sore and said, "Sister Qin was willing to take him in Yongshou Palace. For Ningchuan, whether it was his original intention or not, it would be better than being alone outside and bullied by others."

But Wen Yingchi definitely couldn't do this. If someone could do it for her, she wouldn't ignore it and would definitely push it. Mu Yanqing got this bet.

"Don't worry, Sister Qin is like a brother and sister. Everyone in Yongshou Palace knows that it is an old acquaintance of the Qin family and a person given by the emperor, so it will not be difficult for a moment." Mu Yanqing did not avoid Wen Yingchi's gaze when he said this.

Wen Yingchi said: "Sister Qin is a courageous person. If Ning Chuan followed him, he would be afraid that he would have to pay attention with good intentions. I went to the water to save you without hesitation that day, and I realized that you met."

Mu Yanqing's heart skipped a beat. Doesn't it sound right?

"Empress, concubine and him..."

"You don't have to explain and listen to me," Wen Yingchi interrupted, but his voice was unpredictable, with cold and bitter eyes. "Ningchuan would also think of something I can understand. Sister Qin couldn't think of such a thorough thing. I soon thought that you should be giving advice to her sister and Ningchuan. As long as it was what he wanted to do, I could do my best to help, and I wouldn't ask about anything else. The more I knew, maybe it wasn't good for me and him. Why should I make it boring for myself?"

Mu Yanqing predicted Wen Yingchi's prediction, but when she expressed her prediction without any concealment, she was sober and self-conscious and humble, but Mu Yanqing couldn't help but touched her heart.

With Wen Yingchi's tenderness, if she wants to compete for favor, why is she still living under the same roof with Yi Guihua today? Or is she going to delay her career in one direction!

"Empress, Madam Ogawa is a life-saving favor for his concubine. He saves his concubine in danger. He never treats him now."

Wen Yingchi seemed to hear a trace of real comfort, nodded and said, "Although Concubine Yao has always insisted that you are ungrateful, I don't know why. I think you are not such a person. I think that the kindness and gratitude you said to Ning Chuan are not lying to me. I don't know what purpose he has to approach you. I just want him to live safely and soundly."

Mu Yanqing suddenly thought from the light in her eyes that if Gu Ningchuan had not survived in the palace, Wen Yingchi might not have come to this day.

"It's going to take a while for us to come out. The banquet is about to start. Why not go back with me? Speaking of which, you haven't held the princess yet."

When Mu Yanqing thought of Li Lanzhao's small person, the people around him surrounded him like a wall of iron, and said, "The Empress is intent, and her concubine is in a low status, how dare she hold the princess's daughter-in-law body?"

Wen Yingchi was smiling. The palace maid who was looking at the wind not far away suddenly ran over with panic and said, "Empress, it's not good. The Empress reported that the Seventh Princess was just being held by His Highness and Princesses. Somehow, she almost fell down. The princess was frightened and was crying. The emperor was very angry. The empress would go back quickly.

"What?" Wen Yingchi's face suddenly changed, he turned around and ran back.
