Chapter 66

In the yard of old prince Xu, an old eunuch sat aside, followed by several palace maids holding Satin boxes of clothes in their hands.

As soon as the curtain of the door was lifted, two young girls, aged 14 and 5, wore pink clothes, pink Bixia cloud pattern, peacock long skirt with beads, danced to the ground, covered with light white gauze clothes, vaguely showing some gorgeous bird patterns on the pink clothes, and the skirt hem and cuffs were trimmed with silver white auspicious cloud Shu brocade. Yes, the face was beautiful, the body was slender and symmetrical, and could afford a beautiful word!

The younger one was dressed simply in a light white dress, covered with a light green cloud and smoke floral skirt, with only light patterns on the bottom of the skirt, black hair in an oblique bun, and only a silver wisp of empty jade hairpin pinned up to pick up a light pearl green. Looking at it, he only felt that the whole person looked soft, weak and lovable, just because he was not tall. When he came in, he lowered his head and didn't see his face, I just feel that I haven't grown up yet. I'm about twelve or thirteen years old.

"These two are the granddaughters and granddaughters of the old prince. Indeed, they are rare beauties. No wonder the queen boasted that the old prince is blessed after seeing him in the palace. Not only her granddaughter looks like flowers and jade, but even her granddaughter is so beautiful. I see, these are both the two granddaughters of the old prince. It's not too much!" The old eunuch is a talker. He will see the funny way of smiling. On the other side, Xu laotaijun couldn't close his mouth for a moment.

Mo Xuetong followed Luo Mingzhu and finished the ceremony. He stood on the side of old Tai Jun Xu without saying a word. He only took his eyes and secretly looked at the old eunuch. The eunuch in the palace could see the grade from his robes and clothes. Generally, the small eunuch was a gray horizontal grain, and some powerful eunuchs could embroider two silver horizontal grains on their sleeves, Only the big eunuch who follows the masters of the palaces can rust three golden horizontal lines on the cuffs.

The three real horizontal lines on the cuffs of the old eunuch came out of the Queen's palace again. Is the big eunuch from the Queen's palace the big eunuch from other palaces? There's no need to flatter an outlaw woman at all. Even if the granddaughter is a first-class lady with a high order, she can't stand it in front of the queen. What does the queen want to do?

"Thank you, Grandpa Liu." Xu laotaijun said with a smile. Happily, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Luo Mingzhu and Mo Xuetong respectively. "This is my granddaughter, and there is my granddaughter."

Seeing the old gentleman's directions, Grandpa Liu's eyes fell on the timid and poor little body. He was stunned. Although he looked weak and pitiful, it was clear that there was some dazed Moxue Tong standing there. For a moment, his eyes wandered and looked at her up and down again.

Lao Taijun's granddaughter looks smart. She stands on one side and looks beautiful. She smiles skillfully. Although she glances at herself from time to time, she also looks a little naive and clever. Standing there can be regarded as superior Zhuang Jiao. Such a woman is not much worse.

The one on the side has been lowering his head until now. He stood beside the old gentleman and twisted his hands. He didn't even dare to lift his head. Although his body was delicate and timid, he was so small and childish that he didn't look like a lady from a big family. How could it be... Was it really wrong there? Now I have a new concern in my heart, and I won't delay time.

"Now that the two ladies are here, please accept the reward from the queen. The slave can also go to the ladies of his house." With a happy smile, Duke Liu motioned for the two sets of ruby heads and two gauze brocades sent by the palace maids behind him. In addition, he gave two peacocks carved from soft gold to shake their feet. They were inlaid with dazzling pearls and gems, which clearly looked valuable. Such a reward was not given to two little girls who had not reached the hairpin, but even to the palace concubine who was in favor.

A flash of consternation flashed in the eyes of Xu laotaijun, who had been smiling all the time! But politely let them thank you. The items sent by the royal family are not only valuable, but also face.

Mo Xuetong carefully followed Luo Mingzhu's back and knelt down to thank the empress for her conduct. She kept her head down. She was afraid and frightened of the image of a little girl who had never seen the world. She kept watching her father-in-law Liu shaking her head secretly. The empress was afraid that she would really be wrong. Such a woman can't even compare with the little maid in the palace, How can you attract the attention of King Xuan? At most, his highness King Xuan was in a good mood and just meddled in his own business.

There's nothing particular about it!

Duke Liu even wondered whether the defeated Mohist lady had provoked the eyes of King Xuan and deliberately tossed that one out to embarrass her. Considering the character of his highness, he could afford to say that he was moody and publicized his wanton behavior. He had no worries at all. In front of him, he was so dull that he didn't look up now, I'm afraid it's not good enough. It may be very eye-catching in the eyes of the handsome demon king Xuan.

Thinking like this, the more I thought about it, the more I felt possible. After looking at the ink snow pupil with his head down and kneeling down, I was not interested. I said goodbye to the old Taijun. I didn't go to other houses with people, and hurried back to the palace.

I'm afraid the empress doesn't know yet. She has to explain the situation first.

In the Fuguo mansion, the old prince asked Luo Mingzhu and Mo Xuetong's people to take them away without letting them leave. While sending someone out to inquire, he asked about the situation at the banquet that day, especially about what happened around them.

But he couldn't ask anything. He just said that the publicity Xuan King helped Mo Xuetong and found the man who wronged her. Naturally, Mo Xuetong didn't dare to mention that he had known the demon Xuan king before. He only said that this was the first time he saw him and wondered why he helped himself.

"Grandma, grandma, why did the queen give us such valuable things?" Luo Mingzhu was born in a rich and powerful family. Naturally, she knew that the swing was unusual. She realized that she didn't challenge herself that night. Even if she finally played the piano, she was pressed down by Mo Xuemin, and there was no wind color at all. How could the queen let someone reward her, especially the reward of Mo Xuemin, who was very brilliant, was given to her cousin? Even if Luo Mingzhu was careless, I don't feel right at this time.

"Tong'er, apart from the two princes, you haven't met any other unusual people or things?" The old prince obviously thought of this and asked with a frown.

Are there any other unusual people or things? About the queen and the long princess? Mo Xuetong bit her lips and said tactfully, "at the banquet that day, the queen summoned her. Later, she met the long Princess and stopped and said a conversation. Grandma, has the long Princess and her mother been very good since childhood?"

"Your Highness, your highness?" Although Lao Taijun was smiling on his face, his hand hidden in his sleeve twitched unconsciously.

"Yes, the eldest princess also asked her mother about her life in Yuncheng." Mo Xuetong keenly caught a flash of panic and consternation at the bottom of the old gentleman's eyes, and still smiled.

"What did you say?" The old gentleman asked eagerly.

"It's nothing. I just said that my mother had a good time in Cloud City, but she was in poor health, and then..." Mo Xuetong caught a strong sense of sadness between her eyebrows, bit her lips, and her clear water eyes were foggy.

"It's all right, darling. It's all right now. If your mother is here, she won't want you to be so sad. Don't think too much." The old gentleman stretched out his hand to hold Mo Xuetong in his arms, gently stroked her face, comforted her and said, "the long princess is a widowed person, and should not be seen more in the future. If you meet her on other occasions, you must be polite and alienated."

Is this to keep her away from the long princess?

"Maternal grandfather, why? The eldest princess is a kind person." Raised his pale little face, Mo Xuetong wiped his tears with a handkerchief and asked puzzled.

"The Royal people, the Royal affairs are too far away from us. Tong'er, I'm afraid you'll fall into it accidentally, and the queen will notice you. If the eldest princess pays attention to you again, it's not your blessing." Xu laotaijun sighed deeply. His fingers caressed the long black hair of Moxue Tong, but his eyes didn't fall on her, and the corners of his lips couldn't hide the bitterness.

Such an expression fell on Xu laotaijun, who always made people pick their thumbs and dare to call her a woman among women. It didn't make people wonder, but the laotaijun stopped talking about this topic and only talked about what the girls were interested in. The people who inquired about the news came back later, and the laotaijun asked them to go back to the yard.

Mo Xuetong returned to the house and lay in bed. He couldn't sleep over and over. He always felt that the words of Lao Taijun today were really strange and didn't look like Grandma's temper at all.

She turned half a ring on the bed, sat up fiercely, and took the ink leaf with her. The two of them went for a walk in the hospital. There was a slight cage of sorrow between their eyebrows. They always felt that they had forgotten something. Today, my grandmother was strangely nervous and alienated herself from the long princess. The long princess is a widow. It's good, but her mother died early, so she can't be regarded as a blessed person. What can we avoid jealousy, Besides, the eldest princess is just a princess without children and daughters. How can she drag herself into the affairs of the royal family... What is grandma worried about? Why not let herself get close to the eldest princess!

Because of something in his heart, he simply went to the corner path. Not many people saw along the way. Only two or three maids passed in a hurry. They all politely bowed back. People in the house had been told that Miss Biao was coming. Seeing her figure and bearing, they naturally knew that this was the granddaughter loved by the old prince. How dare they neglect her.

Mo Xuetong has been growing up in Yuncheng. When she was young, Luo Xia took her back to Beijing twice, and it was all when she was a child. Therefore, she is not familiar with the Fuguo government and is full of worries. The more she goes, the more she deviates.

"Miss, where is that? It's really like my wife's garden, and the camphor tree at the door seems to grow." Moran suddenly stopped and pointed to the high wall on one side and said in surprise.

As like as two peas were locked up, a broad courtyard door was locked up. Behind the door was a Cinnamomum camphora tree, which was exactly the same as the old house in Yuncheng. Is this the mother's residence?

I vaguely remember that I came here when I was a child. But when did it become so desolate.

The lock at the door was yellow and embroidered. Although the door was cleaned, there were weeds in it. At first glance, I knew that no one had come in to clean it up for a long time. There were soil layers falling from the corner of the wall, and several crazy vines penetrated from the inside, making the garden more desolate and desolate, and there was no voice around.

The frenzy of heartbeat and the trembling fingers caress a green vine in the corner of the wall!

She remembered that this is my mother's residence, or used to be my mother's residence. I lived here until I was ten years old, and then I moved to another place. This is what I once told myself. In my memory, I once said something to her... But at that time, I was too young, or I didn't care. Now I can't remember, and I even forget this old garden.

There must be something. The performance of the eldest princess, the performance of my grandmother, and the cause of death that my mother can't explain all show that my mother has a secret I don't know... Or I can uncover the fog on my mother.

"Mo ye, go in and open the door!" Her mind was buzzing and she heard her cold voice.
