C320 Chalcedony (9)

The palace that the empress dowager lived in was simply too far away from Mu Fengchai's side palace. Furthermore, she was merely a small Baolin, so she naturally wasn't qualified to sit on a sedan chair.

Even if the paths of the harem were swept and kept far away, the soles of the feet would still be wet. Seeing that they were about to arrive at the palace, Xia Ye hurriedly took out the clean shoes he had prepared earlier and asked her to change into them.

Mu Fengchai tilted her head and lowered her wet embroidered shoes. She was stunned for a moment, and then turned to Aunt Zhong and asked: "If I go in like this, will it be disrespectful, or would it show my sincerity?"

Aunt Zhong smiled slightly, "It's fine if you don't want to change Baolin."

There had to be something different in order to attract Her Majesty's attention, and if she did, she would take it to heart.

Mu Fengchai smiled, her eyes full of determination.

"I know."

The clean shoes that Xia Ye had prepared for her were useless.

Mu Fengchai would never let go of such a good opportunity.

Even so, it was impossible for him to grow old together with his beloved person in this lifetime. So, he might as well use more of his brain and scheme for his family.

When she entered the empress dowager's palace, it was the Aunt Cui who led her in. The Aunt Cui's gaze paused on her drenched embroidered shoes for a moment, before she whispered, "It's quite lively here today. Everyone is here, so this servant learned that it's snowing heavily outside."

Mu Fengchai's footsteps slightly paused, and she turned around to glance at Aunt Zhong.

Aunt Zhong gave the Aunt Cui a kind smile.

Even so, the Aunt Cui didn't tell her to change into a cleaner pair of shoes. Presumably, the imperial concubines had all changed their shoes before entering the empress dowager's palace.

Her Majesty was actually in her fifties, but she looked very young.

It was Mu Fengchai's first time seeing the empress dowager, as she stood there stunned. The Aunt Cui hurriedly said, "Why haven't you seen the empress dowager yet?"

Only then did she hurriedly kneel down and kowtow. "I beg for your life, empress dowager. Chenqie doesn't know that you're the empress dowager. Just now, I was wondering who this beautiful big sister is, and what chenqie should call her."

Her singing and beating caused the empress dowager, who was leaning against the Rohan's bed, to burst into laughter. Any woman, even an eighty year old woman, liked to hear others say that she was young.

So what if the Empress Dowager was, he still couldn't help it.

"Haha, look at this silly look. No wonder even though all the beauties that entered the palace had risen in rank, you are still in the position of Baolin."

Her Majesty's words implied something.

Mu Fengchai answered in fear: "Chenqie knows that she's a fool, and can't do such a thing, so I had no choice but to wander in her position in Baolin. However, chenqie is also happy, the scenery of the harem, chenqie needs many years to appreciate. There are also small meals in the palace, and there are many famous people everywhere, even if chenqie doesn't travel the entire world, she would still be able to taste all the delicacies in the world, it's truly a great blessing in her life."

"You are a fortunate one. Not bad, get up and come to my side. Let me have a closer look."

When Mu Fengchai saw this, he walked towards the empress dowager with small steps. She was not really dumb, she had long heard that the empress dowager was famous for her beauty, that she only drank flowers and bathed in cow milk every day, and that the paste had to be made from fresh flowers. She had to change her clothes at least ten times a day, but because of the creases, she was unhappy …

"Your surname is Mu?"

"Yes, chenqie's maiden name is Mu." In the midst of all the colors and greenery, Mu Fengchai's straw colored gown was inconspicuous, but it was this small and fresh appearance that the empress dowager had in mind.

Back then, it was one thing for her to be the Charm Lord, but now that her son was the emperor, she didn't like those foxes at all.

Mu Fengchai was like a spring in her eyes.

The empress dowager really did like her more. Seeing how naive and foolish she was, she felt that there was no need for such a shrewd concubine by her son's side.

"I heard your cousin is a Mme Marquis Wen?"

Mu Fengchai answered yes and laughed: "Speaking of which, Chenqie's Lil 'Red was even enlightened by my cousin. It was just that I invited the wife of Su Prefecture later on to help her learn Su Embroidery."

"I've long heard that the Mme Marquis Wen's Nu Hong is outstanding, but I rarely see her making Nu Hong." Her Majesty looked her up and down again, feeling more and more satisfied.

He felt that Mu Fengchai's education was not bad, so that Mu Rousang should be even better.

It was a pity that her son hadn't met the right person at the right time.

When the Empress Dowager thought of this, he pitied her son very much. How could she not know what kind of son she had? Seeing the cold attitude of all the beauties in the harem, she knew what was in his heart.

However, the empress dowager felt that this was very good. This way, there wouldn't be a harem in the harem, and her own son would become an enlightened monarch. It was impossible for him to be led by the nose by a weak woman.

"Speaking of which, your older cousin is the emperor's savior."

After Mu Fengchai heard this, she repeated what she had said to Zhang Shuya that day once again. It was just that she had said it in front of all the empress dowager's concubines this time.

"At that time, my cousin didn't know that he was saving the Emperor. She only thought that it was some son of an aristocratic family who was hurt while hunting in the back mountain and had separated from his servants. The Emperor is a benevolent person and has been taking care of my brother-in-law and elder cousin for many years."

Mu Fengchai saw that she was not happy at all, and continued to speak: "Speaking of what the pill was, even my cousin did not know, but later on, my cousin thought back to it, that it was my uncle who saved a white-haired old man, and that old man gave up such a good pill. After the family was cured, my cousin brother and sister also sent people to look for it, and the old man acted as if he had never appeared.

The empress dowager had always had a thorn in her heart. The son Su Ruirui that she sent out didn't have a single chance of winning in the beginning, he was neither long nor strong.

She was most afraid of being told that the chair her son was sitting in had come from an incorrect place.

"Amitabha, you deserve to be lucky enough for me."

She didn't need to say anything as Mu Fengchai would help her smooth out the situation.

"Empress Dowager, you're wrong. Chenqie thinks that it was because the emperor was the son of a true dragon and was ambushed by his cousin that he was able to borrow my cousin's hand." Mu Fengchai blinked his watery eyes, his expression serious as he corrected his.

It was as if she would not forgive anyone who dared to say that she was wrong.

The empress dowager couldn't help but smile and point at her as she said to Aunt Cui. "Look at her acting foolishly again, it makes me want to see the right person even more."

The Aunt Cui replied with a smile, "If Empress feels bored, why don't you send someone to frequently invite Baolin Mu to accompany Empress in relieving her depression?"

Empress Dowager felt that this idea was not bad. She was an intelligent person, and had long noticed that Mu Fengchai's embroidered shoes were already wet,he thought to himself that she was really silly. He didn't know that, like others, she had secretly ordered people to carry her to the vicinity of the empress dowager's palace before going down.

Thinking this way, she felt that a silly girl like her, with no schemes and no schemes, was most suited to her heart. Thinking about it, she also felt that her silly girls were most suited to her heart.

At that time, she didn't say anything and only waited until Mu Fengchai returned to her own side hall to eat dinner.

Just as he was about to get someone to clap their hands and read the book, a royal decree came over. Mu Fengchai, this unfavored Mu Baolin, directly jumped over beauties, talents, and noblemen, and flew onto the branch of the beacon, the newly emerged pure beacon.

This time, the concubines in the harem were in an uproar.

Even though it was only the word "pure"!

There was a difference between those who got the 'seal' and those who didn't.

Although Mu Fengchai knew that she could become a rake, she couldn't care less about that. She quickly arranged for people to pack up their things and prepared to move to her own Pure Yi Hall.

The second day after she had moved into the Pure Yi Hall was the Winter Solstice.

Aunt Zhong returned with a plate of snacks.

Seeing that, Mu Fengchai looked at her suspiciously: "Where is Aunt coming back from?"

"beacon moved into a new palace yesterday, so this servant had someone prepare food for the aunts, palace maids and eunuchs who were in contact with the palace. The last person to go was Aunt Cui, and thus, the empress dowager bestowed upon her a plate of smiles, which she then ordered this servant to bring back to beacon for her meal."

When Mu Fengchai heard that, she laughed: Aunt Cui is truly an amazing person, Aunt, don't just stand there and talk, it's cold outside, take a sip of cold air, quickly sit over here and warm yourself.

She was from the south, and some of her habits were still from the south, like the brazier she was simmering on right now, and she was sitting on a plank with a brazier of charcoal under her, covered with a good quilt, and warm except for a little longer, when the sleepyhead came knocking on his door and didn't have time to catch her.

While yawning, she motioned Xia Zhu to give her a seat.

"beacon, this is against the rules." Aunt Zhong had refused at first.

However, they could not endure Mu Fengchai's coquettish actions and in the end, still compromised.

"This servant now knows why Mme Marquis Wen always loses when he goes up against beacon."

"Hehe, my cousin loves me the most." Mu Fengchai was extremely pleased with himself.

Aunt Zhong then continued, "Just now, the Aunt Cui secretly told this servant that the empress dowager has summoned the Mme Marquis Wen into the palace today."

"Enter the palace?" Suspicion flashed past Mu Fengchai's eyes.

Aunt Zhong replied with a smile, "It shouldn't be a bad thing for this servant to see the tone in Aunt Cui's voice. Perhaps the words he said a few days ago entered the empress dowager's ears."

Mu Fengchai looked at her and laughed meaningfully.

She had done what she had to do. Whether she could do it or not depended on the Empress Dowager's decision.

When it was time for lunch, Mu Fengchai at the Ceremony of Pure Maiden Palace felt sore from stretching her neck out, but she did not even see Mu Rousang looking at her.

He could not help but say in a discouraged tone, "Aunt, do you think that my cousin has almost forgotten about me after leaving home for so long? But I miss my cousin. I have so many things I want to say to her. "

His elder sister was like his mother. Compared to the Mulberry, his mother who did not care, Mu Fengchai was more reliant on her cousin.

Aunt Zhong comforted her, "Maybe it was because of something that delayed her? Master is already a beacon. With the permission of the empress dowager, Mme Marquis Wen will definitely come to visit you. "

Mu Fengchai then asked, "What if the empress dowager doesn't agree?"
